Summer with the Pine Twins: Summer's Coming to an End

The Last Mabelcorn: Part 1

Grace's p.o.v.

It was late at night, Ford and I were sleeping on the couch in (y/n)'s old room but when I opened my eyes I was standing next to Ford in a wheat field, a sun setting in the cloudy sky, a pair of swings to my right, the deconstructed portal behind us and broken down Stan 'o' war to Ford's right.

We glance at each other confused when the wheat started to blow down and we look down to see we were standing in the shape of Bill as it is lit blue, his laughter soon filling the air. "Don't tell me that's his laugh..." I mumble and Ford grabs my hand soon shouting "Show yourself!" A blue flash appears before we see him floating in front of us "Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, aren't you two a sight for sore eye. Stanford Philbric Pines and Grace Cynthia (l/n), my old pals," The demon says while clapping his hands. "Bill Chiper...What do you want from us?" Ford asks angrily and he leans on me, soon rustling our hair. "Don't play dumb Sixer, IQ you knew I'd be back. You think shutting down that portal can stop what I have planned? I've been making deals, chatting with old friends, preparing for the big day. You can't keep that rift safe forever, you'll slip up, and when you do..."

He snaps his fingers and in a flame of blue smoke, the rift appeared in its container which he slams to the ground, and the universe tears to reveal a red portal, the surrounding area burning with flames as I shout "Get out of here, you have no diminal in our world!" "Maybe not right now but things change Stanford, Grace, things change," He says when images flash before us and we both jolt awake in a cold sweat. We exchange looks, Stanford telling me "We have to warn them. He's coming," I nod knowing our failsafe for this day might have to be used.

Dipper's p.o.v.

I open the closet and me, Mabel, and (y/n) peek inside for something we could do since the adults were too busy to take us into town. "Alright, Grunkle Stan's gotta have some board games," Mabel dusts some boxes off to reveal the board games and she lists off our options. "Let's see...Battle Chutes & Ladder Ships, Necronomiconopoly, Shhh...Don't Wake Stalin..." "What about this?" (y/n) ask pulling out a game called What Could Go Wrong? with a description of The last players who opened this box never made it out ALIVE!

"I think we know what we're doing." "Sounds fun." "This should take up the next 21 minutes," We agree to play but before we could even open the box we hear Ford call out "Family meeting! Family meeting!"

Grunkle Stan's p.o.v.

I carry the barrel full of bugs out o the Mexican and his pickup truck stating "Alright Santiago you have twenty-four hours to get these pugs across the U.S. border," Grace steps out telling me "Family meeting," I whisper for him to hurry it up as I head inside.

Grace's p.o.v.

Ford and I had spread some things on the table in the living room when the kids came in. "Ah children, come in, come in," Ford gestures for them to sit as we sit down. "Ooo, mysterious scrolls and potions! Are you gonna tell us we're finally of age to go to wizard school? Is there an owl in this bag?!" Mabel asks, digging through the bag we brought up and Ford was quick to grab it and hold it close telling her "No! I can assure you if there is an owl in this bag he is long dead," This causes Mabel to frown and I thwack him upside the head before grabbing a scroll with an image of Bill and showing it to them asking "Now kids, any of you recognize this symbol?" They gasp as (y/n) and Dipper mutter in unison "Bill."

"Y-you know him?" Ford asks as we give them concerning looks, this is good and bad news. "Know him? He's been terrorizing us all Summer! (y/n) and I have come up with so many questions and theorizes," Dipper tells us and Mabel explains a bit more. "These two have been pretty paranoid since not only did Bill turn Dipper into a living sock puppet but we learned what Bill did to (y/n)."

"The important thing is, we defeated him twice." "Once with kittens and once with tickles." "It's a lot more heroic than it sounds," This catches our attention and I turn to (y/n) asking "What did Bill do to you?" She starts to frown and looks away, Dipper gently grabbing her hand and whispering something into her ear and she nods whispering something back before quickly kissing him. Oh my...They're dating?! "Five years ago when you both disappeared through the portal, I was upset, and I mean very upset. I ran away from Grunkle Stan and into that snowstorm, where Bill found me and I...I...I made a deal with him which resulted in him taking away who I was and erasing my memories," Our eyes widen and I run my fingers through my hair so our failsafe is ruined?

"But it's ok! We helped her break the deal, as you can see she's back to normal and she has her memories back," Dipper reassures us and I ask "Including what we told you, you might need for later?"  She nods stating "Yeah I remember every detail of the journals, besides ever since you've come back Dipper and I have read them so much it's been memorized again," I lean back in my chair with a sigh of relief. Good.

"Well the fact that you've dealt with Bill is gravely serious," Ford informs them and Dipper asks "So how do you know Bill?" Ford and I exchange looks, that was a dark tale filled with lies, hurting others, and betrayal. "We've encountered many dark beings in our time Dipper. What matters is his powers are growing stronger and he, if he pulls off his plans no one in this family, will be safe," Ford explains and the kid's exchange worried glances when I roll a scroll out of the house designs telling them. "Fortunately there is a way to shield us from his mental tricks, a way to Bill proof the shack." "All we have to do is place moonstones here, here, and here, sprinkle some mercury and let's see I always forget the last ingredient," Ford explains, drawing circles on the scroll with his pen before flipping through the pages of the last journal and groaning.

"Ugh, unicorn hair," I groan as well and so does (y/n), confusing the twins. "That's not like rare is it?" "No, but it's pretty much hopeless. Unicorns resign deep within an enchanted lake and their hairs can only be obtained by a pure good-hearted person who goes on a magical quest to find them," Ford reads out before showing the pages.

Mabel lets out an excited shriek before excitedly asking "Grunkle Ford, Grace, can I please go on this quest?! I am literally obsessed with unicorns. My first word was unicorn, I once made my own unicorn by taping a traffic cone to a horse's head, ARE YOU EVEN LOOKING AT THE SWEATER I'M WEARING RIGHT NOW?! Not to mention that I'm probably the most pure of heart person in this room," We all agree to that and she once again asks "So can I go on a mission to get that hair? Please, please, please! I'LL GIVE YOU MY BLOOD!"

"Very well but it won't be easy. Take this, and this," Ford hands Mabel journal number one and a crossbow soon asking "I haven't been in this dimension for a while, it's ok to give children weapons right?" "I would say no but considering some of the stuff we gave (y/n) I don't have a right to say anything," I answer him and she shoots an arrow through a window and a minute later we hear Stan shout "AH! IT'S THE COPS, GUN IT!" "(y/n) you wanna come?!" Mabel asks (y/n) who quickly shakes her head no. "I am not willing to deal with those ever again," She shrugs and runs off calling her friends.

"So what are the odds she gets that hair?" Dipper asks and Ford tells him "Unlikely We've dealt with unicorns before and if I had to describe them in one word it would be frustrating." "And annoying," I add in, causing (y/n) to ask "So what are we gonna do about Bill?" "Follow us," We head down into the lab, a specific part that to even (y/n) knew about, there had been some things we didn't want her to know.

"Welcome to our private study. A place we keep our most ancient and secret knowledge, even your Uncle Stan doesn't know about this place," The kids look around in interest as we approach a big computer and we pull out two weird shaped helmets telling the kids "If we can't Bill proof the shack we're going to have to do the next best thing: Bill proof our minds."
