Mabel was frozen in time.

She had no idea what was really going on. Was this some sort of prank? Was someone getting back at her for something?

"Look, uh...Sebastian, wasn't it?" Mabel asked, giving him an awkward smile. "I, uh, appreciate your offer, and I will think about it, but I have to go, uh...give my dog a bath! Yeah, that's it! Give my dog a bath."

"You don't have a dog." Sebastian stated, making Mabel do a double take.

Darn, he really has been watching me, Mabel thought to herself. Maybe this wasn't as bogus as she thought it was...

"I haven't finished my offer yet." Sebastian said, continuing as Mabel tried to come up with another excuse. "For your services in Butterhurst, I will grant you one special wish. It can be anything you'd like."

One special wish?

Mabel's mind immediately went to her Grunkle Stan, and how he was struggling. If this whole thing were real, she'd definitely use her one wish on him.

Well, Mabel, you've seen crazier stuff then this before, Mabel thought to herself, having flashbacks of gnomes, swapping bodies with Dipper, and other such unpleasant events. Maybe you should humor the guy.

Mabel smiled at Sebastian. "Alright, I accept your offer."

"Splendid!" Sebastian exclaimed, clapping his hands.

Before Mabel could think twice or ask any questions, she felt the world around her spinning.

She saw bright patterns of various colors flash rapidly as she felt her body involuntarily floating.

She tried to speak, but for whatever reason couldn't.

Mabel closed her eyes. She opened them again, and only saw white. There was a loud, irritating ringing in her ears, that finally went away with a pop!. Her body stopped floating at about the same time.

When Mabel opened her eyes again, she saw a whole new land.

"Whoa!" Mabel said, looking around where she had landed, then turning towards Sebastian. "Is this...Butterhurst?"

This world was very much alike and very much different from Gravity Falls. On one hand, there were lots of stores, restaurants, and other buildings in the distance ahead, just like the average town on Earth. However, the people were much, much different.

Just in her two seconds observing the place, she had seen an anthropomorphic dog chatting with a dwarf casually, as well as a schoolbus full of anthropomorphic cows drive by.

"Yes, this is indeed Butterhurst." Sebastian stated. "In our world, every species that humans consider myths exists, and we all co-interact with each other happily. Except for the monsters. And another certain species, but that's a story for another time."

"This is awesome!" Mabel exclaimed. "I wish there was some way I could take a picture of this."

"If you did, it wouldn't transfer over to the human world." Sebastian replied. "Oh, that's something else I meant to tell you: you can't get contact with other dimensions, including yours, in Butterhurst without leaving Butterhurst. Our television, mobile, Internet...all of that are totally different."

"I see."

"Well, enough dilly-dallying. Follow me."

"Where are we going?" Mabel asked, as Sebastian went south down the street ahead of him.

"To where I reside." Sebastian replied. "The other three magical girls have been waiting for you."

...There were three more?

Mabel and Sebastian arrived to a large, cozy-looking house of sorts. It was one of the most impressive things Mabel had ever seen; the design was perfect, and she loved the silver-crusted fountain outside.

"Oh, yes, my father built that." Sebastian said, noticing Mabel's admiration of the fountain. "Nice of him to leave me something...anyways, shall we go in?"

"Huh? Oh! Yes, I guess we shall." Mabel replied, trying to sound formal. Sebastian just chuckled and opened the door.

Inside, the first thing Mabel noticed was a light-skinned girl lying on the couch, clothed in blue jeans and a plaid T-shirt. The girl's long, blonde hair was over the end of the couch as her long, slender body kept twisting and turning, her eyes closed.

"Angel?" Sebastian questioned. "Are you still sleeping?"

"No, I'm baking a cake." Angel sarcastically muttered, burying her face in a pillow.

"It's three o' clock in the afternoon."

"And?"

"And," Sebastian started, "I've finally got the last magical girl we need here."

Angel looked up, opening her hazel eyes to look at Mabel. "About frickin' time. Hey there, my name's Angel."

"Uh...hi there." Mabel said awkwardly.

"Ugh, if I have to get up, I need caffeine." Angel moaned, standing up and walking into what Mabel assumed was the kitchen.

"Hey, where are the other girls?" Sebastian asked Angel as she was walking away.

"Hell would I know?"

Sebastian sighed and turned towards Mabel. "You're going to have to forgive her. I assure you she's in a much better mood once she's gotten a cup of coffee or three."

"So, uh...there are two more girls?" Mabel asked. "Where are they?"

"Probably upstairs. Follow me."

Mabel followed Sebastian upstairs. He opened the door to what appeared to be a game room of sorts, where one girl, clad in a T-shirt with writing Mabel couldn't make out and blue shorts, was buried in a handheld game, and the other girl, wearing a tight-fitting black dress, was watching television.

"Your time of luxury has ended." Sebastian stated. "I have finally got our fourth magical girl!"

The girl watching television turned her attention towards Sebastian and Mabel, and got a bright smile on her face. "Oh my gosh, it's you!"

Slam!

Mabel suddenly received a very tight bear hug from the girl, her braided blonde hair flying into her mouth. The girl hugged her for a couple seconds, then chuckled and pulled herself off of her.

"Sorry about that." The girl said. "I've just...gosh, I've been waiting for like, three days! That's like a month in my time, hehe. My name's Naomi."

Naomi held her hand out, and Mabel shook it. Mabel glared over to the other girl, who was still invested in her handheld.

"How the heck am I out of hint coins?" The other girl muttered in frustration, mashing buttons on her handheld. "Why do I buy puzzle games? I always suck at them. I'd find a walkthrough, but Butterhurst's Internet seems to lack them."

"Hey, Ella!" Naomi yelled in Ella's ear, causing her to jump. "We finally got our last magical girl! Now we can start training! Yay!"

"That's my ear, you know." Ella snapped at Naomi, looking up at Mabel with an unpleasant look on her face - however, the second her eyes met Mabel's, they went wide, and the expression on Ella's face suddenly turned to surprise, and perhaps...affection?

"Oh, h-hi there." Ella said, immediately putting her handheld away and standing up towards Mabel. Ella had several notable differences from the other girls; she was a bit darker-skinned, as well as a tiny bit pudgy. This could be attributed to the fact that she was also an inch or two shorter then Naomi, who seemed to be further along in puberty. Mabel was finally able to make out her T-shirt, which read "Don't lose your way". Mabel assumed that was a reference to something.

"Hi there. My name's Mabel." Mabel replied, holding out her hand. Ella hesitated briefly, but finally reached her hand out towards Mabel's. This girl was certainly acting a lot stranger then the others...

Sensing the awkwardness in the room, Sebastian spoke up. "How about we all head downstairs? That way I can speak to all of you, since Angel's down there brewing coffee."

"Sounds good to me." Naomi said. Ella nodded in agreement, and they all went downstairs.

Mabel knew when she got down there Angel would be drinking coffee, but was shocked at the amount. In the five minutes or so they'd been upstairs, Angel was halfway through an entire pot, which was she was drinking totally black.

Hardcore, Mabel briefly thought to herself.

"Oh, hello again, Mabel." Angel said, this time with a big smile on her face. Coffee really did change her a lot. "Hello, Ella and Naomi. Nice to see you this morning."

"It's three o' clock in the afternoon." Ella responded.

Angel giggled. "Oh, I guess it is."

Naomi giggled along with Angel, despite the fact that she wasn't really sure what was funny...she just liked to giggle. She then turned her attention towards Sebastian, with a seductive look on her face.

"Do you like my dress?" Naomi asked Sebastian, lifting her arm and leaning down to give him a better view. "I wore it just for you...I know you're just a boy, but-"

Sebastian laughed. "Naomi, are you trying to seduce me?"

Immediately, Naomi's face turned bright red, as she stumbled over her words. "W-what? N-no! How did you..."

"Really, Naomi, I don't mind the gesture, but I'm much too old for you."

The girls all stared at Sebastian with a dumbfounded expression.

"How old are you, exactly?" Mabel questioned.

"I knew I was going to have to tell this story at some point." Sebastian said. "Flashback time!"

"My father was ruler and guardian of Butterhurst for thousands of years. Not a lot of people took kindly to him; he was quite obnoxious, never really grew up. He made it his number-one goal to sleep with every woman, or possibly everything in Butterhurst. One of my guardians told me he even bed a few animals. He banned witches from our land because they didn't give good...well, um, because they weren't to his satisfaction. I've never been able to fix that. Every single witch has held a grudge against Butterhurst since..."

"Anyways, my father was simply sick and tired of being immortal. He wanted something new, something exciting! And he decided that exciting thing would be going to heaven or hell...or purgatory...or wherever. But he didn't want to leave Butterhurst without a ruler! So he used an ancient black magic spell to produce me asexually."

"He got his hands on a rare, magic gun, the only one that can kill immortals. His servants begged him to put it away and reconsider. He remained silent."

"As I entered the world for the first time, my father kissed my bald head, gave his blessing, and...shot himself! Right in front of me! He died! Haha!"

Sebastian was cracking up. The girls gave him an odd look as he kept laughing for a bit, then finally realized that the girls did not find the story as amusing as he did.

"Well, that was dark." Ella stated. "And that still doesn't explain how old you are."

"Uhh...I lost track." Sebastian said. "Let's just say that if I were to take on my true, elderly-body form, it would be very disturbing. I was raised by the great women of Butterhurst, who taught me some basic magic and how to be a good ruler. This is the only form I've mastered besides Golden Retriever. But I know you don't-"

"I wanna see!" All four girls said in unison.

Sebastian sighed. "Alright, but don't expect this to be a regular thing, alright? Aureum canin burst!"

In the blink of an eye, Sebastian took on the form of a cute Golden Retriever.

"Oh my gosh, that's adorable!" Naomi shrieked in delight. "Can you stay like that, please?"

"You'd never take me seriously if I stayed in this form!" Sebastian argued. "Anyways, we've used all the time we had today for dilly-dallying. Now that I've finally got all four of you, it's time for you to meet Ms. Hitami and begin your training!"

A/N: And there's chapter 2! Lots of new characters introduced, as well as the entire world of Butterhurst. I hope I'm not confusing anyone, because I've tried to have this make as much sense as possible. Like, I hate complicated fantasy stories with multiple worlds and like three hundred characters to keep track of. I know some of them are good stories, but...ain't nobody got time for that.

If you liked (or disliked) this chapter, please R&R. It's much appreciated! See you all next time!
