The Brightest Smile Rewrite

The last Mabelcorn

The episode opens with the Mystery Shack at night.

~Cut to the attack~

Dipper Pines sleeping, then Mabel Pines, who is sleeping with her a stuffed unicorn on top of her. She squeezes it. Recording: "Princess Lovacorn says: Princess Lovacorn: "Buy my 42 accessories!"

~Cut to Y/n and Nathan cuddling~

Y/n: *Mumbles in her sleep* "I love you." Nathan: *Mumbles back in his sleep* "Love ya."

~Cut to Y/n's dream~

Bill: "Crystal." Y/n: "Bill." Bill: "I wanted to warn you." Y/n: "About?" Bill: "This is the Fear-a-mid. You will be locked on the bottom floor in a room. I suggest packing a few sentimental things. Everything else will be provided."

~Cut to Nathan's dream~

Nathan: "Bill!" Bill: "I'm assuming you're still mad about the-" Nathan: "Crocodiles? Yeah! Also that you're going to lock Y/n in a triangle!" Bill: "Oh, don't worry she'll be able to move around the fear-a-mid. Just not outside it. It'll keep her safe." Nathan: "100% safe?" Bill: "Yes."

~Cut to Ford Pines sleeping on the couch~

~Cut to Ford's dream~ 

He appears in a field of wheat with a ruined swingset, universe portal, and the Stanowar around him. Ford looks around as the wheat is flattened around him into the image of Bill Cipher, glowing blue. Ford hears Bill's maniacal laughter. Ford: "I know that laugh... Show yourself!" He turns around as Bill Cipher materializes from the ground, floating in the air. Bill: "Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well!" Multiple copies of Bill materialize as he talks, forming a ring around Ford. Bill: "Aren't you a sight for a sore eye! *All of the Bills mirror each other's movements* Stanford Filbrick Pines, my old pal!" Ford: "Bill Cipher. What do you want from me?" Bill: "Oh, quit playing dumb, IQ! (Another Bill talks:) You knew I'd be back! (The Bill that's talking flicks Ford's nose) Do you think shutting down that portal could stop what I have planned? (All the Bills merge into one giant Bill that floats over Ford) I've been making deals, chatting with old friends, preparing for the big day! You can't keep that rift safe forever. (Snaps his fingers and a copy of the dimensional rift appears in his hand) You'll slip up, and when you do...!" (Throws the rift onto the ground, where it creates a massive portal in the shape of an upside-down triangle, burning the wheat field around Ford) Ford: "Get out of here! You have no dominion in our world!" Bill: "Maybe not right now, but things change, Stanford Pines! (Ford is reflected in Bill's eye as Bill ascends into the portal) Things... (Monster voice:) change." Bill: "Wanna see a quick glimpse in the future?" Ford: "Huh? Sure." Bill shows him a small clip of Y/n chained inside a room in the fear-a-mid. Bill: "Isn't she heroic?" Ford: "What are you planning to do with her?" Bill: "She signed up for it. I'll let her explain." Bill laughs as he flies away, leaving Ford in the middle of the burning wheat field in the ring of fire. Several images flash by at once, one of Ford's hand, one of Ford's eye, and another of what looks like an extended version of the Zodiac. Ford wakes up in his bed, panting. He adjusts his glasses. Ford: "I have to warn them! (Looks at his hand) He's coming."
