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

The Last Mabelcorn: Part 3

Dipper's p.o.v.

I grab a file that had all sorts of information about Bill such as him being spotted in different parts of history. When I pull a three-page drawing showing 'our world' the 'mindscape' and the 'nightmare realm'. "Without a physical form, he can only project himself into our thoughts through the mindscape. That's why he wants the rift. Although we dismantled the portal this tear gives Bill a way to our reality and to get his hands on this rift he would trick or possess anyone," Grace finishes explaining to us and I ask:

"So how do we keep Bill out of our minds?" "Well, there's a number of ways. We personally had metal plates installed in our heads," Ford says and I start to laugh but no one joins in and (y/n) tells me "It's true," They both knock on their heads and a metal sound rings out. "This machine is safer, it will scan your minds bioelectrically encrypting your thoughts so Bill can't read them, now say hello to your thoughts," Grace tells us and she gestures toward the screen as it played our memories and our thoughts, the most embarrassing for me though was when the screen repeatedly read (y/n)'s name. "Might wanna ignore that last one..." (y/n) thankfully changes the topic. "Oh yeah, you guys never told us your history with Bill, I don't remember him except for when I...Yeah..." "Kids, do you trust us?" "Well yeah but-" "Then you'll trust that that's not important, now focus! It's time to strengthen your mind!"

Mabel's p.o.v.

Grabbing a notebook and my favorite flower pen the girls and I set off on the town and record every good deed I do, ranging from helping move snails onto the grass, planting new trees, bringing a smile to Grunkle Stan's face with a huge happy sticker, donating blood, etc. By the time I was done, we had counted I had completed a thousand good deeds. "Boom! A thousand good deeds, when that unicorn scans my heart she's gonna say I'm absolutely 100% bonified-"

"Not pure of heart," Celestabelle-Bethabelle determines, making my victory short-lived. "Wait what?" "How is that even possible?! Mabel's a straight-up saint you judgemental hoofbag!" Wendy complains and I fall to my knees begging her for help. "Please! Tell me what I'm doing wrong!" "Doing good deeds to make yourself look better isn't good at all. Not to mention you're crushing like ten dandelions right now. Those are basically children's dreams," She tells me and I quickly get back onto my feet "I'm sorry Mabel, it's not my fault you're a bad person," The girls gasp as I start to tear up, soon running away crying. "Mabel wait! Come back!"

 The girls find me laying down by the river. "Come on Mabel, don't beat yourself up over this." "Let's forget about getting that dumb unicorn hair." "It's not about the hair any more guys, it's about me. Being kind and sweet is what makes me who I am if I'm not a good person, who am I?  I'm not leaving this spot until I think of a deed that makes me as good as Celestabelle-Bethabelle," I pull out my pen and notebook and turn away from the girls. "But Mabel-" "Just leave me be."
