I closed my eyes.

"Yes." I whispered. Mabel stepped back.

"Dipper?" She repeated. I nodded, on the verge of crying golden tears. I floated down. Mabel ran forward to greet me, but was held back by the summoning barrier. I sighed.

"You can't come in. Not unless you want to make a deal." I said. Mabel's eyes brimmed with tears. I wanted to do so much. I wanted to hold her, to tell her it would be alright. I had watched her from the safety of the Mindscape after I had seemingly "disappeared". She had lost so much, her own twin brother.

"You're right, you can't. *laugh* You beat yourself up about so much. It's worthless. You're worthless. You wouldn't be here without me, would you?" Bill?​​​​​​​ I thought.

"I'll make a deal!" I stepped back in surprise. Ford narrowed his eyes.

"Are you sure, Mabel?" She nodded, her tears threatening to spill.

"I just want my brother back!" She yelled. I held my head down, engulfing my hand in light blue flames. I could feel Ford's hate.

"Wait, what to you get in return?" He asked suspiciously. I close my eyes, holding my anger. This man was my family, for gods sake!

"My family." I said, holding up my head and hand.

"So, is it a deal?" Mabel nodded, grabbing my hand eagerly.

"Deal."
