Amelia dimly woke to her name.

"Amelia..."

"Amelia..."

"C'mon baby girl. Time to wake up."

Only one person called her baby girl. Her eyes opened.

She was in the hospital again, her head bandaged. Dipper and Mabel, dressed in new clothes, stood at her bedside. They were holding her hands. "Hey, baby girl." The male said, stroking her hair. He was careful to avoid the bandage. "Long time no see."

Just like that, Amelia felt like crying. Scratch that- she was crying. Tears slid down her cheeks. Her head ached with the pain, but she ignored it. "What- Where-Where did you guys go?"

"Gideon surprised us in the forest. Then, all I remember was being asleep. Then we woke up." Mabel explained.

Amelia bit her cheek. "Sleep with me?"

There was no answer, except for Dipper lifting her up gently as he and Mabel slipped under the sheets. Amelia smiled as she drifted off to sleep.

-_-

The sheriff picked her up from the hospital. Gravity Falls passed by as Amelia sat in the back of the cop car.

"We found Gleeful three miles out, dead." Blubs said. "Tree branch stabbed through him."

"What about-" Amelia started, her mind blanking and redirecting to a different question. "So, what's gonna happen to the twins?"

"Well, both are going to stay at the Shack for the rest of the summer. Mabel got a art scholarship before disappearing, so that's where she's heading in fall. Dipper is staying here, to take of you." Durland said.

Amelia nodded. She knew that she had become another fly in the web of Gravity Falls, unable to leave...

But she didn't mind.

-_-

The first thing she saw when she entered the Shack was Dipper kissing Bill. Well, in a way. It was more lips against a flat surface.

"When did this happen?" Amelia said. The two stared at her in horror.

She rolled her eyes and walked past them. "Never mind."

She didn't mind.

Her demon deserved to have his crush returned.

No matter how much they denied it.
