Hey, I know that you guys probably hate me so much for not updating at all, but I just got out of school a couple Thursdays ago and life has been one big mess that can't even be described. Anywho, I will give you guys an update, cause I feel really bad about doing nothing for the past I don't know how long. Anywho, I noticed as I reread my story, that I've improved a crap ton. That's all thanks to you guys playing a part in this. Give yourselves some deer teeth and get ready for the show!

"Is all the glitter almost gone?" Gideon looked around the room one last time before slumping down in the large plad chair in the center of the room. Pacifica Southeast was his closest cousin, but sometimes, she was too much for even the paitent like a saint Gideon. The latest incident was that she had found a never ending can of glitter and made it explode all over the living room, and Gideon and Robbie had to clean up after her.

"Yup, I think we got all the noticable parts." Robbie sighed as he ruffled Pacifica's hair playfully. "Paz, how the heck do you even get this kind of stuff? They can't just sell it all in Gravity Falls, would they? Or maybe some sort of gypsy?"

"Who cares?" Pacifica blushed. "At least we cleaned it all up, right?"

"We?" Gideon snorted. "Paz, you sat there and placed stickers all over your sweater while Robbie and I made sure to get all the glitter."

"But they were so puffy.." Pacifica poked at her teal sweater, which was now covered in puffy stickers. Gideon shook his head as Robbie stiffled a laugh.

"Paz, that doesn't even matter. Do you even know how many times I got caught in a pink glitterlanche? Five times! Five freaking-!" Gideon was cut off by a flash of lightning and the lights going off all around the trio. "Great, just great." Gideon sighed. "I'll find the flashlights before Paz-"

"AHHHH! Dark, dark, dark! ROBBBBBBIIIIIIEEE!" Pacifica scrambled forward and tightly grabbed onto Robbie's leg, whimpering.

"Not again..." Robbie sighed. "C'mon, Paz, we talked about this. Dipper and Mabel can't hurt you just because you can't see. They're in jail, remember? They won't be able to break out, especially since you guys took their wierd book away. Gideon, find those flashlights, and hurry, I might break my leg if she keeps holding me like this." He laughed quietly before turning back to Pacifica and trying to comfort her.

"Right." Gideon scurried back to the supply room of the Mystery Shack. He lifted numerous boxes to the tiny window, until finally he found the flashlights.

"Now to make sure they actually work..." Gideon muttered to himself. On several occasions, the flashlights broke down halfway, nearly giving Pacifica a heart attack. Gideon usually had a spare in his jacket, just to make sure that Paz wouldn't completley flip if that happened, but it was upstairs right now, and it would be a pain to even try and find his way in the dark. He already had a couple bruises trying to get here, and Gideon felt like he didn't need any more.

Gideon picked up the first light and pressed the button on the bottom. It flickered for a moment before turning on a bright ray of light, piercing the dark. Gideon smiled and began to turn on the other ones. Out of the six flashlights in the box, only two didn't work, and the four Gideon had, would be enough to survive them the night. However, to make sure there weren't any chances, Gideon began to shuffle around, looking for the box of batteries. Left and right, boxes becam sloppily overturned and left on the ground, and contents spilled from the tops and bottoms. After about 10 minutes, Gideon gave up, deciding that since there was an extra light, the three of them should be fine. He turned for the door, but not before noticing the large pair of eyes staring back at him through the tiny window.

"AUGHH!" Gideon screamed in surprise. He jumped backwards and fell on some of the boxes.

"Help... please..." The voice rasped out, scaring poor Gideon even further.

"Robbie! Roooobbie!" Gideon raced out of the room and down the hall, nearly tackling his friends in the process.

"Woah Gideon, calm down! I just got Paz to get off my leg and now here you are hugging me like I'm the only other person in the world. What is it with you guys today? Is there something wrong?"

"M-M-M-Mabel!" Gideon managed to squeak out. "S-she must've broken out and i-i-is back for revenge!"

"What?!" Robbie jumped to his feet. "I'm getting the broom, you get Paz and Bill. Where did you see her?"

"Near the supply closet window. She was just looking in and staring at me. Then she said 'Help...me...' She's so creepy!" Gideon shuddered at the thought of Mabel looking at him through the window.

Over the summer, Mabel and Dipper Pines were the stars of their own show and managed to swoon the entire town of Gravity Falls that they were innocent psychic cuties. Gideon, Pacifica and Robbie managed to prove that the act was fake and the Pines were really evil and wanted to destroy the town to find some books that might not even exist. During that time, Mabel had become obsessed over Gideon, who didn't exactly feel the same way. At many points, she would slip over to the shack just to sniff his shirts (Pacifica had caught her just before Mabel could take a few of his outfits as well.) Thankfully, after their last attempt on the town, they were arrested by the town "sheiriffs" Officer Blubbs and Deputy Durland. No one had heard from them since, at least, not until now.

Shaking his head, Gideon stumbled up the stairs and into the room he shared with Pacifica. Cheesy boy band posters, terrible romance novels, and a variety of old nicknacks scattered the floor and walls of Pacifica's half of the room. Gideon's half, however, was completely organized, with books shelved alphabetically, and only a small picture of him, Pacifica, Grunkle Bud, and Robbie was taped up beside his bed, which was neat and wrinkle-free. Gideon prided himself in having a neat place to live, even if it meant getting playfully teased by Pacifica, and the occasional shoulder punch from Grunkle Bud. He could easily find things, such as the never-ending glowsticks he would always place in the coldest part of the room, in case of an emergency summoning.

After finding the chalk and getting out the glowsticks, Gideon began to chant the summoning spell for Bill. He knew Bill wasn't too picky, especially since the two of them were on something of good terms and this was an emergency, a really bad one.

"Triangulum, entangulum. Mereforis dominus ventium. Meteforis venetisarium!" Gideon's eyes turned a bright blue and a flash of light blinded the room. In the center, a blue triangle figure appeared inside of the chalk circle Gideon created. Looking around once, it yawned, bored.

"Hi Gideon! Say, it's been forever since we last met! Last week, right? You still owe me for that last game of Go Fish we had and-" Bill floated down to Gideon's height and noticed the nervous look in his eyes. "Oh no. Oh no no no no no. No. I mean it Gideon, I don't want to see you know who again! They nearly skinned me alive for arriving late to their rituals, and I don't even have skin! That's how bad it is! I'm not doing-"

"Bill." Gideon cut off the dream demon. "It's just Mabel. Just stay and protect Paz, okay? It's not that she can't fend for herself, but ever since the night at Gopher Road, she's been..." He paused to adjust his hat. "Weary of what they can truly do. You don't have to fight, just intimidate. Is that okay?"

"Just intimidate, just intimidate, got it." Bill clasped his hands together. "Okay, you can be scary, Cipher, reall, really scary, Scary, scary, scary."

"No one thinks you're scary if you have to tell them." Gideon rolled his eyes and Bill flinched.

"Okay, got it. Stop talking about how scary you are...got it." The duo slowly came down the stairs and near the door to the shack and could see Mabel's silhouette trying to open the door. Near the counter, Pacifica and Robbie were crouching, both of them holding brooms in their hands.

"This is it guys." Pacifica said, a spark of determination in her eyes. "We've got to put our all into this, so Mabel can't take over the shack and do whatever she wants with it. And we don't want her to play dress up with Gideon, like she did last time."

"Paz!" Gideon hissed at her. "I told you never to bring it up again!"

"Well, yeah, but what do we do if Mabel comes in with like ten bajillion dresses and she wants you to put them on?"

"Yeah, what'll we do?" Bill chimed in, causing Gideon to go beet red.

"First off, she wouldn't do that. Why would she? And secondly, Bill, stay out of this. You don't even know-"

"Guys!" Robbie cut them all off. "Pay attention! Gideon, use your magic spells or whatever to get Mabel off her feet and Paz and I can hit her with the brooms. Bill..." He paused, not sure of what to say next. "Stay there and be intimidating."

"Intimidating! Okay!" Bill excitedly replied.

"On the count of three, alright?" Robbie looked to Pacifica, Gideon, and Bill, who all nodded.

"One..."

The door handle slowly turned.

"Two..."

A rumble of thunder came from a distance away, slightly scaring Gideon.

"Three!"

A flash of lightning streaked against the dark sky as Mabel stumbled in and fell onto the rug in the center of the room.

"Soos...?" Mabel slurred out. Her large brown eyes scanned the room adn she tried to get to her feet, but kept falling to the ground.

"Yaaaah!" Gideon jumped from his hiding spot and flipped open his book and looked at the words in front of him.

"Elevatious floitinoal, micrionis elevatious!" After saying this, a light blue hue enveloped Mabel and she sqeaked in surprise.

"Huh? What's going on? Gideon, is that you? I thought you were- OW!" Mabel stopped as Pacifica and Robbie began to hit her with their brooms.

"Ow! Ow! Ow! Stop! Hitting! Me! With! Brooms!" Mabel squealed.

"Hey! She doesn't look like the Mabel we know." Bill pointed out, his eye widening. "Oh my! Guys, wait this is- this is a big misunderstanding!"

"Bill, this is MABEL. She tried to kill us, how is that a misunderstanding?" Gideon glared at Mabel, who was growing paler and paler by the second.

"Bill...?" She looked at the blue triangle. "Bill! How dare you take over my brother! YAAAAAAAAGH!" She snatched a broom from Pacifica and waved it at Gideon, casuing him to lose his focus. The blue hue that was surrounding Mabel faded and she fell to the floor with a loud thud.

"Get back here, you son of a Dorito!" Mabel raced towards Bill, who let out a scream.

"Ahhh, no! Getawaygetawaygetawaygetaway!"

"Oh boy," Gideon sighed, grabbing Pacifica's hand. "Let's go." The two followed Mabel, with Robbie trailing behind both of them. And so, a large chase had begun, with Bill being chased by Mabel, who was being chased by Pacifica and Gideon, who was being chased by Robbie. Quite the scene for someone to walk into, especially if that someone is an evil dream demon.

"Hey, what's going on in here? Chase, I like this game! I'll join too!" Bill snapped his fingers and appeared in front of the entire group and his eye lit up in glee.

"Hey, who's this handsome devil?" He looked towards the other Bill and zoomed in closer. "A reverse me, huh. Yeah, you really need to work on that evil factor. Be crazy, like me! Give people decapitated heads and deer teeth! That works with the ladies! And speaking of ladies..." Bill smoothly made his way over to Mabel, who was now glaring daggers at him.

"Bill." She said venomously.

"Heya Shooting Star, long time no see! Oh wait, we saw each other yesterday, when I took over Pine Tree's body Good times, good times..." He wiped a tear from his eye and Gideon, Pacifica, other Bill, and Robbie all took a step back.

"What do you want, Bill?" Mabel spat at the dream demon, who simply shrugged.

"Well, I just wanted to say that I'm fully out of Pine Tree's mind. Y'know, so you could stop worrying."

"But..." Mabel glanced at him, knowing there was a catch.

"Ah, Shooting Star, you know me too well. Too well. As a common courtesy among us demons, we often leave our host with a..." Bill paused for a minute to adjust his bowtie. "...parting gift."

"Parting gift?" Mabel repeated and the demon clasped his hands together.

"That's right! And being the generous guy I am, I not only gave him a nice new outfit, but a new personality to boot!" Bill cackled wickedly. "Am I sweet or what?"

Mabel's eyes widened as she realized what was going on. "Where is he?"

"Right. Here." Bill snapped his fingers and Dipper's body appeared in front of the group. Instead of his usual outfit, he had on a short yellow t-shirt and black shorts with black gloves, socks, and shoes. He fell to the floor and Mabel ran to check on he younger twin.

"Dipper? Dipper?" Mabel tried to shake him awake but Dipper wouldn't bat an eye.

"In a month's time, I'll come back to collect my demon buddy. 'Till then, good luck finding a cure!" With a final laugh, Bill disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Silence hung in the air as Mabel tried to wake Dipper up. She was beginning to panic, and Pacifica became uncomfotable.

"What will I do? Dipper is a good as gone and I don't even know what to do! Oh my-"

"Gideon and I can help!" Pacifica quickly interjected and after realizing what she said, she covered her mouth.

"Wait! I mean-"

"Y-y-you'd help me?" Mabel had began to get teary eyed and hugged Pacifica tightly. "Thank you so much Pacifica! This means so, so much to me!"

"Oh no, no!" Gideon looked at Mabel sternly. "We know what you're up to! Playing a mind game on the both of us to get sympathy points, well it's not happening! Right, Paz?" He glance over to Pacifica, who bit her lip.

'Say no say no say no say no say no say no!' Gideon tried to send her the message, but Pacifica remained silent.

"Giddeeeooon..." Pacifica whined. "We haaave to. We mistook her for someone she wasn't and this is the way we can repay her."

"And you may be able to learn more about this alternate dimension stuff." Robbie pointed out. "Whe's not our Mabel, so we could learn something from her."

"It's not like you have a choice." Bill spoke up. "I mean the author will make you do it anyway." Gideon looked at him and blinked.

"Author?"

"I-I-I-I mean Pacifica will make you do it anyway! Ha ha, silly me!" Bill laughed awkwardly causing Gideon to shake his head.

"I guess you're all right. Okay, I'm on board. Now, where do we start?"

And that wraps up this chapter! Anyways, I'm sorry I haven't been on lately, but I hope this can make up for it! Review, and favorite or follow please!
