A/N: Hello guys. I'm happy to see my story has over 300 views! Thank you all.I'm kinda a happy this fic has gotten so much love so fast and rest assured, Mabels adventure is only getting started.The woods in Gravity Falls was always a place Mabel felt at peace. It was the one place she could go with Dipper to relax and bond. To her it was a place of happiness. To Cindy on the other hand, it was a place to be feared. Shortly after telling Mabel how she really felt about all of this, Mabel and Pacifica decided it would be best to show her what she's going to be dealing with from now on, although Pacifica wanted to join, Mabel convinced her it would be best if she did it alone.

The tress were so tall and the atmosphere oozed danger. It was all becoming too much for Cindy. As she looked to Mabel she could see the girl was silent but also felt like...she was at ease. "This forest doesn't creep you out?"

Mabel looked at her with a blank expression. "Mmm no, not anymore anyway. When me and Dipper first came here I was scared beyond belief. He on the other hand saw it as another adventure. It was quit funny really, he thought it was some monster that was creating the fog, so we spent hours out here at night searching for any signs of it. Sadly we didn't have any luck, but that would be the beginning of many adventures to come. "

As the girls continued to walk, Mabel came up towards the tree where her brother found the journal that started everything. As Cindy moved beside her, she looked at the tree and saw a lever poking out the side. She turned to Mabel and saw anger spread across her face.

"There's a lot of things in this town people from school would never come to grasp. Not even my so called parents would belive any of this. That's why everytime we had to leave, we just kept everything to ourselves, after all no one would belive us, and they would never be able to understand." She pulled the lever and the tree morphed into a pair of stairs that led underground. Cindy followed close behind her. As they reached the bottom they made their way towards the controll room, but not before setting off the trapped room that started closing in on them.

Thanks to Mabels memory of how Dipper saved them years ago she was able to quickly find the key to turning the trap off. After a few minutes of walking, Mabel and Cindy made their way to the room and Cindy froze at what she saw. It was a frozen clone of Dipper. His face looked like he was screaming. Mabel walked up to it and punched it with all her might.

"Wha-what are you doing?" Cindy rushed towards her. When she did, she saw tears in her eyes.

"This thing was disguised as an old man when we first found this place. We were only here to discover and look around the place. While Dipper was on the look out, I was, like always, acting a fool and having fun touching anything I could no matter how dangerous." As Mabel and Cindy made their way back above ground, Mabel continued to tell her who that clone really was, how they came close to dying because of her, and how before her brother froze it, the creature said that Dipper would be making that same exact face as he died.

The hike to the next area was short, but the forest alone still had the bully on edge. They finally made it to a clearing that lead them to the golf course. As Cindy looked around she noticed it was quite. Mabel on the other hand took a deep breath. "I know. I'm gonna regret this!" With a sigh, and the best smile she could fake, she creamed. Jeff! I'm back!"

Cindy didn't know what the girl beside her meant, but she expected to see a boy or adult coming to them. What she didn't expect to see where a group of gnomes coming from every hole in the golf course.

" Well, well, well, look who it is." A gnome with a brown beard and a face of a young boy stepped forward.

"Long time no see Jeff!" Mabel said taking a seat on the dry green ground. She looked a round at the group of creatures and could tell that their numbers have been drastically cut short.

"What happened? Where's everyone else? I know there were about a hundred more of you when I was a kid."

Jeff took a seat beside her. With a sigh and a sad tone he willed himself to speak, "kid, a lot has changed since you and your brother have been gone? After the mess with Cipher, the forest became restless and in time, a war zone. The strong started attacking the weak, and the ones that survived all fled the forest or ended up taking their own lives. It was too much."

I don't understand. I thought everything would be fine once Bill was defeated."

"Sorry beautiful, but no. Things only went south after the show down. There was panic and we all needed a leader. The manly tribe of warriors tried to lead at first but disputes broke out between them and the unicorns. In the end, the manly tribe was wiped out and the unicorns took charge. That's when everything really went wrong."

Mabel could see the pain in his eyes. It must have been hard on him and his people. She came to understand that Bill Cipher was not just an enemy that needed to be stopped, but was also the one who kept a lot of the stronger beasts at bay. Sadly when he was gone, there was no one left they had to fear and that's when all heck broke loose. It just so happened that Jeff ended up loosing almost all of his people while trying to protect them.

"I guess I really messed up huh? As a child, each forest in this town was like a little place, a town of their own. It was like going from one city to the next. Gnomes, manly tribe, unicorns, and the fairies. You could always be right there just by walking a short distance. I'm so sorry Jeff. I didn't know what affect taking out Bill would have on the town itself. We were just trying to save our family."

Jeff stood up and dusted himself off. He began walking back underground with the rest of his people, but not before saying one last thing to Mabel." It's OK. I don't blame you for what happened. Sometimes, somethings are beyond our control. Even if we have the power to change, or stop whatever is happening, there will always be a price. After all, you have to sacrifice something in order to gain something in return."

With those last words, he and his people vanished back under the golf course. Cindy listened quietly to the whole conversation. Her mind was swarming with all kinds of thoughts and questions, but right now there was one she had to ask." Mabel, who's Bill?"

The girl was quiet. Her body froze in place and her breathing became erratic. Just hearing his name along with knowing the damage he did almost sent the girl into a frenzy. It took a few minutes but she was slowly able to calm herself and look at Cindy. With a deep breath she began to tell her tale of two kids who summoned a demon for a good reason, but ended up damaging and changing the lives of many innocent people.

It was finally starting to get dark when Mabel finished telling her story. As the two girls walked back towards the shack, the wind started to pick up. As Mabel kept a firm hold of the girls hand so she wouldn't get lost, Cindy started seeing little orbs of light appear out of nowhere. She wondered what was going on and was about to freak out when Mabel told her to watch them closely. The girl did as was told and her eyes grew the size of dinner plates at what she witnessed.

Each ball of light slowly glowed bright for a few seconds and what appeared in its place where little beautiful fairies. Each one with a different appearance. It was amazing for Cindy to see such a sight. Mabel just smiled and started walking again while still holding her hand.

"I don't understand Mabel, wh-why hide such things from other people back home. This place is creepy for sure but it's also amazing."

Mabel slowly looked towards her with tears running down her face. "I was never supposed to know about any of this." she said lowly.

"If that's true then how? I you have to be pretty... ummm, never mind. What I meant was -"

"It was Dipper who originally found the book first journal. He kept telling me to stay away from it, but I didn't listen. Even after every encounter, monster, danger I still wouldn't listen. I hate myself so much. I want to get on my knees in front of him and apologize, beg for forgiveness if I have to. I know now that will never happen."

Cindy stayed quiet and after a few minutes she found her new resolve. She walked up to Mabel and grabbed her hand." It will happen, you'll find him and I have a feeling you won't have to beg for forgiveness since I'm sure he already does."

Mabel smiled at the girls heartfelt words. "Thanks." Cindy nodded and turned around hoping to find the shack but Mabel giggled and lead them back safely.
