I'll Wait for You (MaBill)

11: Relief

As soon as Mabel got off of the phone with Dipper, her phone rang again. Thinking it'd be Dipper, she immediately picked it up. But to her surprise, it was Bill.

"Bill?" She answered.

"Mabel," Bill replied, "I found something in the crystal ball."

"You did?" Mabel said in surprise. "Did you find them?"

"I did," Bill said calmly, "but there's a problem."

Mabel could hardly speak. "What is it?"

Bill sighed on the other line. "They're stranded on an island. They're lost at sea, Mabel."

"Oh gosh." Mabel shook. "Can you bring them home?"

"Of course, Mabel." Bill smiled. "In a snap I'll bring them back."

"Thank you so much Bill." Mabel let out a sigh of relief. "I'm just glad they're okay."

"Me too." Bill said. "So did you call Dipper?"

"I did." Mabel sighed.

"You're sighing? What happened?"

"He's not coming to Gravity Falls as far as I know."

"What?" Bill sounded shocked. "How come?"

"I honestly don't know." Mabel frowned. "I don't understand. He hates it in Piedmont and loves Gravity Falls! Why wouldn't he come back?'

Bill frowned. "I can't answer that, Mabel."

Hearing the frustration and sadness in her voice, Bill appeared in front of Mabel in a snap and gave her a warm hug.

Mabel sighed again, hugging him back. "Well, if he's not going to come then you have to help me rescue them, Bill."

Bill nodded. "Of course."

Mabel looked up at him without a word.

"What is it?" Bill chuckled.

Mabel could only smile. "I'm just lucky to have you here with me."

Bill smiled and leaned in, giving Mabel a passionate kiss on her lips.
