7:45 PM. Mabel was not impressed. Her plans, ruined. Henry looked over to her. "You all right Mabel, you wanted to leave that place in quite a hurry" he said. "Ya, well, I just wasn't feeling all that well you could say" she said, trying to not tell him that Dipper had been spying on them. "Don't worry, nothing a good nights rest won't do" Henry responded. Mabel smiled. At least after all that had happened, he still liked her.

At that moment, Mabel notices something. She can't seem to recognize where they are. After being in Gravity Falls for so long, she knew the place as well as she knew her scrapbook. There were no buildings anywhere, all the street lights were either out or dimly glowing in the night. "Hey, are we going the right direction, I don't recognize this place" she says. Henry starts to look a bit nervous. "Oh uh, I thought the reason you wanted to leave so quickly was because someone was following you, so I took a different route" he replies. "Don't worry i'll just turn around and take the main road back into town" he says as he turns the car around to head back.

"Oh, by the way that reminds me" says Henry as he reaches into his pocket. "While you were in the bathroom, they were giving out these mini hard candies". Henry gives Mabel one of them. "That's weird, I don't remember them ever giving these out" she says. Henry looked slightly nervous. "Oh, what the heck, they must have changed some things, and besides, why let good candy go to waste" said Mabel as she threw the candy into her mouth. Henry did not eat his but then he was driving so Mabel did not mind.

Immediately Mabel realizes something. The candy did not taste sweet, more of a lemony lime flavour. "This candy tastes weird, almost like its not candy" she says as she looks at Henry. Suddenly Mabel begins to feel sleepy. She falls back into her seat. As she falls out of consciousness, Mabel can clearly see Henry turning the car back in the direction they were originally heading. Away from town. Before she can say anything, she is out cold. She is not even woken up by Henry driving the car much faster and more erratically.

8 pm turned to 8:30 pm, and soon 9 pm. "She should have been back by now" said Stan. "Im gonna go and see if they're in town" said Dipper. "I'll call the police and tell them to keep a look out for her" said Stan reaching for the phone. Dipper got back into the golf cart and sped off into the town to try and find Mabel. 

Little did he know how long it would be before he saw her again.
