The Ruins

Part 4, Chapter 1: Bill and Stan.

Mabel's POV

I sat there, drinking my iced tea and Dipper trying to make the TV work. I got up and fell, "Owh." "Mabel!" Dipper put me back on the recliner when someone knocked on the door. "Kids!" Dipper opened the door and Stan pulled him and smashed him into the floor, "Stan!" I screamed. Dipper punched him, and Bill came out, "Yet again, caught by a worthless little kid." Dipper's eyes filled with tears. He fell to the floor and cried, "Mabel...." I tore up. I stood, and I tried grabbing Bill. He took Stan's body and went out the door. I grabbed Dipper, "Dipper?!" he was crying. I held him towards me and kissed his birthmark. He kissed my lips and I wrapped my arms around him. He pulled me up, "Thanks." It was about 3:00 pm and we rode Dipper's motorcycle down to the diner. We saw Sherriff Blubs by himself. His old friend died of a brain damage. Soos was skinny and he hung out with Robbie. Soos lost his grandma in 2014 and he lost his house. Pacifica was with Grenda. Mr. Corduroy sent his two sons and daughter (The Corduroy boys and Crystal) to their mother.

Wendy was there as a waitress. I put my fingers between Dippers and we walked to a table. I leaned on his shoulder, "Hey uh...I'll have the steak and Mabel will have the Dinosaur nuggets." Dipper flashed a smile at the new and improved Ol' Man McGucket. Robbie was dating Tamry and Soos was dating Robbie's sister, Rosalie. I couldn't help but sing, "I will love you till' the end of time...I will wait a million years. Promise you'll remember that you're mine...baby can you see through the tears? I'll love you more than those bitches before, say you'll remember, say you'll remember baby ooh..I will love you till' the end of time..." Dipper pulled me closer. I got a text:

Gideon: Hey Mabes.

Me: What do you want?!

Gideon: Just to take you on a lovely date.

Me: Gideon, I love Dipper.

Oops. I accidentally told him something that me and Dipper were keeping a secret. I shook and my eyes widened. I cried a little and then shuddered. What did I just do? I whimpered and let go of Dipper. I ran out in tears. Stan stood, in the clear eye. He had one eye and he was 2 feet above ground. He floated around, "Oh Dipper and Mabel! Come out wherever you are!" I hid behind a bush and Gideon appeared. He opened the diner door and pointed right at someone. Stan came out holding Dipper, "Listen, if you disobey me, you will suffer." "MABEL!!" I rolled out, "Leave him alone!" before I could jump out to save Dipper, Gideon grabbed my wrist and pulled me.

Dipper's POV

"Of course. The Mystery Twins are at it again, aren't they?" Bill's voice echoed. "You guys are major butt-faces!" Mabel screamed. Stan sat in a chair, tied up. "Let go of my kids, Bill!" cried Stan. Gideon laughed, "You're an idiot, Stanford. These kids are mine, now." I tried my best to kick myself out, "Look Bill, I don't get why you work for Gideon. You did before. Shouldn't you let it go now?!" Bill laughed, "No! You defeated me last time, this time, I'm stronger." he grew to a huge size. "Stop! Let me go!" Mabel screeched as Gideon held her against him. I slipped my hands out of the rope and rolled out of the chair, "Alright Bill, I understand that Stan didn't return the favor...but why do you attack us?" Bill turned red, "I DID IT FOR A REASON." Stan tried his best escaping, and I went over to help. Gideon threw Mabel onto the floor and went towards me. I ran to where Gideon hit Stan and I grabbed Mabel. She had a busted lip and she was crying. I tried my best to run, but Gideon threw something at me and I fell back and hit the wall.

"Dipper!" Mabel cried. I was seeing stars. "NO!" she screamed. She attacked Gideon and he grabbed a gun out, "Stop!" I whimpered. He fired right at me, "DIPPER!" Mabel croaked. I remember the bullet hitting me. "Dipper! No! Please!"

After that...I really don't remember at all.
