"Push the button Mabel!" Dipper called out across the lab.
Mabel froze, her hand hovering over the button as the lab was thrown into disarray.
Their Grunkle Stan yelped as he was flung against the wall, alongside Soos and Dipper.
The men grimaced, but Dipper angled himself against the wall.
A portal beamed behind Mabel, crackling with energy and sending the gravity haywire.
He straightened his pine tree hat and looked directly at Mabel.
His twin. His best friend. His world.
He would not let this imposter that has posed as his Grunkle take away the only family that understood him.
"Kid! Look into my eyes, don't you-" Grunkle "Stan's" words trembled, clearly this was too much for his old age, dipper thought.
"NO! Mabel, look at me, don't you trust me? THINK!" Dipper cried, his voice awkwardly cracking amid the chaos.
Mabel looked at him, her blue eyes piercing his.
"Dipper... I trust you." She said, and with that, she slammed her hand on the button.
The room blazed a terrible, white light, blinding them all.
Then, when it was gone, so was Mabel.
"What... Where- where is Mabel?" Dipper asked, the gravity causing everyone to sink to the floor at last.
"Oh kid..." Stan said sadly.
"You have no idea what you've done."
With that, the old man crumbled to the floor and for the first time, Dipper had nothing to say.
