💸💸💸💸Grunkle Stan's POV💸💸💸💸

After I left Mabel and told her I was going to bed, I quietly slipped into the gift shop and glanced at the vending machine.

No Stan, not right now. You could get caught or something. Don't want to get discovered now. I've worked waay too hard for it to shut down right now. I shook my head and went to my bedroom. Slowly, I got ready for bed, Dipper and Mabel on my mind. I stared at the ceiling and soon fell into a restless sleep.

~Stan's Dream~

I saw I was inside the Mystery Shack. Cautiously I crept to the attic and went into Dipper and Mabel's room. I saw nothing. No broken pens sprawled on Dipper's nightstand, no boy band posters on Mabel's wall. All that was there was empty, unused furniture. I suddenly had the feeling I was being watched and turned around slowly to face the triangular window. It was an erie yellow color with a faint glow to it, not the usual red. I thought it looked weird but then again, I live in Gravity Falls.

Remember Stan, this is all in your head. It's only a dream. None of it is real, I thought to myself.

I continually stared at the window until I realized why it was a different color. After a minute or so, I built up enough courage to say something.

"I KNOW IT'S YOU CIPHER! Show yourself you demon! Don't be a coward!!!" I bravely stepped toward the window and it slowly morphed into the one and only Bill Cipher.

"WELL WELL WELL, IF IT ISN'T GOOD OL' FEZ!! THIS WILL BE FUN!!"

"Where is my great nephew you one-eyed triangle? What did you do to him?!" Bill rolled his eye and circled me. I quickly pinned Bill down and imagined a restraining chair. It formed and I shoved Bill in it, making sure to strap him as tightly as possible, which was kind if hard since he was a triangle and all.

"OH FEZ, ISN'T THIS ADORABLE! YOU THINK YOU CAN INTERROGATE ME IN MY WORLD! THESE PUNY STRAPS CANNOT RESTRAIN ME!" And with that, Bill undid all my hard work and made the chair disappear. He floated toward me and I hesitantly walked forward.

"I WILL ANSWER ONE THING THOUGH. PINETREE IS SAFE... FOR NOW! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! ANYWAYS, I THINK ITS TIME TO TORTURE YOU NOW. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!" Bill's laughter shook the house. He launched toward me and I ran for my life. I was no match to him and soon he caught me.

This is all a dream, I will wake up, and everything will be fine, I thought, trying to calm down.

"ARE YOU SURE FEZ?!?!?!"

~Next Day~

I woke up in a sweat and I hastily pulled off the soggy bed sheets. I pulled on my slippers and changed from my wet, dirty undershirt and boxers into a somewhat fresher undershirt and boxers.

Today we will find Dipper and stop Bill from whatever he's going to do, I concluded in my head.  Nothing bad will happen to Dipper. 

*Knock knock*. "Can I come in Grunkle Stan?"  Mabel asked, with a hint of sadness in her voice, not like her usual optimistic self.

"Sure Mabel, just open the door," I lazily replied.  She pushed the door open and trudged to my bed.  I picked her up and sat her down right next to me.

"Grunkle Stan, will we be able to find Dipper today?  I'm worried what might happen if Bill finds him.  He seemed like he need Dipper for something.  I don't want anything bad to happen to him," Mabel's voice was wavering and tears had sprung into her eyes. 

"It will be okay Mabel, today we will search for Dipper.  We'll get a search party going and we will find Dipper."  I forced my face to give a reassuring smile and rubbed her back slowly. 
I decided that I would not tell her about my dream, for that may upset her even further.  She wiped away her tears and got off of the bed, with smile plastered on her face.

"I'll be in my room gathering supplies!"  Mabel's optimism slowly returned.  "Call me down when breakfast is ready!!  We'reofftogetDipper!"  She bounced out if the room and giggled with glee.  A smile crept into my face and I walked to the kitchen. 

What to make... Hmmmm.... How about scrambled meat!  I quickly gathered up the ingredients for scrambled meat and started to cook.  After a few minutes, the scrambled meat was fully cooked and ready for consumption.

"MABEL!!  Time for breakfast!!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Mabel's POV⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After Grunkle Stan made me feel better, I rushed up to my shared room and began to pack. I grabbed my tan backpack and ran around the room grabbing items that might be useful.

My backpack was overflowing with various items and I decided I had to leave some things out. When I made the final cuts, I chose the magical growey/shrinky flashlight, my grappling hook, some of Dipper's pens, and a couple of other things that looked smart and useful and of course, 2 extra sweaters.

"MABEL!! Time for breakfast!!" I heard my Grunkle shout for me to come down.

"COMING!! I'll just be there in a sec!!" I hauled my backpack out into the hallway and tried to push it down the stairs. It didn't work so I chose to kick it down and surprisingly, the backpack tumbled down the stairs.

When I saw it had made it to the bottom, I gracefully skipped down the steps, avoided the backpack and bounced toward the kitchen. I plopped myself down on my chair and stared at my Grunkle hungrily.

"FOOD! FOOD! FOOD! FOOD!" I chanted, slamming my fists down on the table. Grunkle Stan placed my plate in front I me and I inhaled it as though I was in an eating competition. When I made sure the plate was empty, he took it away and sat across from me.

"Okay Mabel, here's what I'm thinking.  We will call Wendy, Soos, Candy and Grenda, and anyone else who is useful and try to persuade them to help us find Dipper.  Then we gather supplies,"

"I already did that!"  I said proudly.

"I mean, supplies for everyone."

"Oh, I still have mine ready!  I'm ahead of the game!!"  I fist pumped the air.  Grunkle Stan stared at me with an annoyed look and I blushed. 

"As I was saying, we will gather supplies and then head into the woods to find Dipper.  Got it?"  He questioned me.

"Yep I understand!"  I pretended to salute to him and he nodded in recognition with a stern look.  We both broke into laughter but soon became serious once again.  

"Let's get calling!!"  We both picked up phones and proceeded with our newfound plan.
