Mabel's POV
                          
 I'm finally on the bus to Gravity Falls, after six years I'm finally coming back.  I smiled and looked out the  window as the trees flew past. When I looked deeper in the forest, I swear I saw that boy who's been haunting me in screens.  Then the window had words written on it: 
                          
I've been waiting, nice to see you again. 
                          
My eyes widened and I backed away from the window. After some time, it was my stop and I had to get off. I have the bus driver a tip and went off the bus. I sat down on the wooden bench and set my stuff next to me. I looked across the street, the forest was empty, then a car passed and that teenager was standing there. He smiled and walked forward.  I tried backing up but I was still sitting down. Another car passed and he was gone. I breathed heavily and put my hand to my chest. My heart thumped fast and I wanted nothing ore than for Stan and Ford to come and to pick me up. 
                          
Eventually they did, they got out of the car and I ran up to them and gave them both a big hug. "I've missed you so much!" I said as I hugged them. "Us too pumpkin." Stan said. 
                          
(Time elapse) 
                          
It was night and we called up the other people in the cipher wheel for a party. Everyone was happy to see me and I was happy to see them. The party went on all night, literally. 
                          
I woke up and everyone else was still asleep. I sat up and stretched. The room was a mess and I was covered in confetti and glitter. I giggled and brushed it off. Soon Pacifica woke up and came next to me. She sat down next to me. "So, how's life?" She asked playing with her hair. "Great! How about you?" I asked. She looked down at the ground. "Remember 6 years ago when you asked us how we'll live with the guilt of leaving Dipper? Well, I've lived with guilt ever since." She sighed and stopped playing with her hair. She just looked at her hands. All the sudden, the guilt hit me too. I let this happen to Dipper, and I've been fine with it all these years! "I know how you feel." I placed my hand on her shoulder. She looked up and smiled at me with watery eyes. "Thanks." She said. 
                          
Soon after that everyone woke up and I made pancakes for breakfast. Everyone loved them. I sat down and helped myself to a couple pancakes too. Afterwards I caught up with everyone. "Who wants to get some fresh air?" I asked everyone. They all nodded. I walked over to the door and opened it, I was the first one out and once everyone was out I turned round and froze. 
                          
There was a teenager my age 15 feet ahead of us. He had chocolate brown hair, a black vest, grey shorts, and it looked like a yellow shirt, and one last thing, a pine tree hat. "So, it's been awhile Mabel hasn't it?" The voice was a bit deep. But I recognized it. "Dipper?" I asked walking forward. He only faced the other way. I walked in front of him and gasped. He had cuts, scars and bruises everywhere. The other also came around and had the same reaction. Blood dripped from his mouth and one of his eyes. "What happened to you?" I asked concerned. A small smile crept around his mouth, pointed blood stained teeth showed. I backed up a bit. "Dipper?" He looked up at me and opened his eyes. They were Bill's. He smiled evilly and laughed a creepy echoey laugh. It creeped me out. "What happened Dipper?! What did Bill do to you?!" I started to cry. He only laughed harder. Once he calmed down he Floated off the ground and came face to face with me. "Sorry, but Dipper I gone. I'm Alcor Cipher, nice to see you again, Shooting Star. Or should I say sister."  He floated back A bit and grinned. "What did you do to my brother?!"  I yelled at him. "See for yourself." He then snapped his fingers and blue smoke appeared in front of us. It showed Dipper a couple years ago, he was just floating there when bill came into wherever he was. Bill laughed a bit and put handcuffs on his hands. Dipper looked confused, until the chains glowed and you could see that slowly Dipper was dissolving into nothing. Then it actually plays audio. "I'm sorry Mabel, I tried to stay strong." Then it ended. I was in tears. I looked up at Alcor. He only smiled. "Yep, that's right, we disposed of Pine Tree, he tried everything to reach out to you. The dreams with memories. The messages on your papers, even the Tv, he tried taking you he's alive and he he's doing. I'm sure he's still here, trying to reach out to you. Heck, he almost got me to let him in control again, but I solved that problem." He smiled and his eyes flickered dark blue and his hand lit with dark blue fire too. "Oh, he was never your brother, Bill's his real father. He gave him powers when he was an infant, he would've died of he didn't. So with out bill, you wouldn't even have a brother, and you didn't even know you lived with a half demon for 12 years of your life!" Alcor chuckled. "Now my father said these two things: Pine Trees burn quickly don't they? And, Shooting Stars sure are pretty when they fall." I didn't get what he meant. "Ugggh, Pine Tree was right, you really are dumb Mabel aren't you? We've burned the Pine Tree! And you're gonna fall!" His eyes turned red and I was lifted off the ground. "Help!" I called out to everyone else. "Let her go!" "Dipper, you can still fight back!" "You will drop her Alcor, or else." I looked down to see Ford with a demon hunters gun. "Or else..." He was cut off cause Ford shot him right in the chest. I was dropped to the ground and I looked up to see Alcor clutching his chest. He looked up at us with eyes they burned fire. He flung some fire balls at us. One hit me in the arm, and the others hit everyone else in the chest, arm or leg. I cried out in pain and fell to my knees. I looked up at Alcor who was clutching his head and talking to himself.  
                          
"No! Go away!"
"Get out!"
                          
The argument with himself went on for a while before finally he shushed. He shook his head and looked up, his chest healed and when he opened his eyes, instead of meeting those curses slitted eyes, I was met with my brothers sweet hazelnut eyes. He looked at all of us and stopped when he looked at me. "Dipper?" I managed to get out. He looked into my eyes and I saw a tear fall down his face. "Mabel, I'm so sorry, please forgive me, but, I'm sorry, I can't stay." Dipper said to me. Everyone else was watching too. "What?" "Dipper what are you talking about?" "Is that really you?" Dipper just looked away. He waved his hand and we were all fixed and on our feet. I went up to Dipper but he stopped me. "I'm sorry." He started to back away, I tried following but he turned around and ran towards the forest. 
                          
"Dipper wait!" I called it after him. I followed him towards the forest with Wendy and Pacifica following. We followed him until he tripped on a root and fell down a hill. Classic Dipper.
                          
We came down to where he was and he was Holding his head. Whatever Bill did to him, it must really hurt his head. He stood up and opened his eyes, one was Bill's and the other my brothers. "Mabel go." "Sorry I can't let them!" I was starting to get dragged towards them by some invisible force. "NO!" We all looked at Dipper-er Alcor. I stored moving. "Good bye Mabel." Then in a flash of light he was gone. All that was left was his hat, and a note. I started to cry as I picked up the hat and note. 
                          
Me, Wendy and Pacifica just sat in silence processing what just happened. "What's the note say?" Wendy asked me breaking the eerie silence. I picked up the note and read it out loud:
                          
Dear Mabel and the Others.    
                          
I'm sorry about all of this. I can't bear to see that my dominate self of hurting you. So I have one thing to say. 
                          
There's a way to save the world. Alcor is planning on taking over the world. I must ask you to kill him off. I don't care if I'll be gone forever, I want to know you're safe. But there might be a way to save me too. But it's risky and dangerous. If you can convince Alcor to let me in control by giving him memories, then I can destroy him and I'll be free, and back with you. I would recommend doing the first one, but the choice is up to you.
