We make 180 degree turns with our bodies, the yellow, supernal deltoid being staring back at all of us with his solitary eye. 

"It's him! It's the guy!" Soos exclaims, acting all jittery when he waves his finger and points at Bill. 

"You leave our uncle's brain alone, you isosceles monster!" Mabel charges at Bill, trying to capture him in her arms but ultimately failing. Instead, she literally runs into Bill's body and seconds later, Bill lets her out of his body.

"Gotcha!" Mabel yells triumphantly, only to find that Bill was still standing upright and unscathed. "Wait, what?" 

"Ah, Stan's family, we meet at last! Question Mark, Shooting Star, Pine Tree," Bill looks at Dipper, Mabel and Soos, carefully listing and matching their names to symbols from the zodiac.

"And of course, who can forget you Eye? I've been watching you closely and I must say my old friend chose well," he looks at my necklace menacingly and I shield it with my hands protectively, glaring back at him. 'Well, at least I know that my zodiac symbol is an eye.' The others look at me curiously, probably also eager to know what Bill had meant by an old friend. 'What does he mean by an old friend?' 

"You'll find out soon enough! Anyway," Bill shoots a hole through Dipper's chest by means of a laser beam. "I had a hunch I might bump into you!" Dipper screams, trying to calm himself by inhaling deep gulps of air.

"Boop!" Mabel wiggles her hand through Dipper's hole, laughing at her antics along with Soos.

"Mabel!" Dipper scolds, turning to look at Bill fiercely. "What do you want with our uncle's mind anyway?" 

"Oh, just the code to the old man's safe! Inside the Shack is a maze of a thousand doors representing your uncle's memories. Behind one of them is a memory of him inputting the code! I just need to find it and Gideon will pay me handsomely," Bill gestures to the Shack blithely.

"Not if we stop you!" Mabel shouts determinedly.

"Hah, fat chance! I'm the master of the mind," Bill floats upwards, menacing dark blue flames emanating from his body. "I even know what you're thinking right now!" 

Mabel put her hands on her hip, repudiating Bill's statement. "That's impossible, no one can guess what I'm thinking!" 

Bill snaps his finger and a blinding flash of light later, Xyler and Craz appear right beside her.

"Whoa, where are we, bro?" Xyler questions.

"We must be in heaven, cause I just saw an angel!" Craz crouches down to Mabel's level, pointing at her. 'Yeesh, that is cheesy.'

Mabel hugs Craz's legs and squeals, "I'm never letting go of your leg!" 

"You're out of your league, kids. Turn around now before you see something you might regret. Later, suckers!" Bill tips his hat to us in a gesture of farewell, plunging his body whole through the sturdy, well, illusory walls of the Shack.

"We're goin' in! Mabel, can we leave those guys out here? Looking at them," Dipper sneaks a glance at the luminous men, having to squint his eyes even though he was already shielding them. "hurts my eyes..." 

"I agree with Dipper, they're really bright Mabel," I turn away from Xyler and Craz, not wanting to hurt my eyes any further because me being me, I let curiosity take control of my body and as a result, I took a quick peek at them earlier.

"No! They can help us!" Mabel retorts.

"Totally! Arm throne!" Xyler and Craz grab each other's arms, kneeling down so that Mabel could climb onto their arms. Mabel chuckles in joy, savouring every moment as she was carried by Xyler and Craz to the Shack.
