You'll be mine one way or another

10. The Dream and The Nightmare

Mabel's POV)
When I woke up that day I didn't feel good. My body shook uncontrollably, my head ached even though I drank tons of water everyday, my eyes felt they would close any second, I felt like knives were being gently but harshly poked me all over, and I felt like I was gonna pass out. I pushed through it though and went downstairs to eat. Today was the 4th day Dipper was not here. As I walked downstairs I heard Grunkle Stan and ford talking about the rescue plan. A twin sense told me that Dipper felt the same way I did. I got down stairs entered the kitchen and took a seat hoping me and Dip were ok. "Mornin' kiddo. How'd you sleep?" Stan asked as he made a plate of pancakes. Ford looked over to me and saw my condition. He frowned. "Hey Mabel you ok?" He asked walking over to me and put a hand on my shoulder. "Yeah I feel fine. Just tired that's all." I said forcing a smile. Just then a pile of pancakes were placed in front of me. "Thank yo-" I started but before I could finish my sentence everything went black.

Dippers POV)
I woke extremely tired, and felt like I being stabbed all over. A twin instinct told me Mabel was the same way. I looked at the time. It was 11:11. Bill is probably in the library. I thought as I walked out of the same room I've been sleeping in for weeks. I made my way to the library feeling worse every step I took. When I reached the library Bill was reading a book with a a picture of a dragon on it. The Book cover read, Wings of fire:Legends  Darkstalker. "Oh. That's a great book that your reading." I said still aching all over. "I agree it's a really good book. I've read the book tons of times before but it just gets better every time." He said as he placed his bookmark in and set the book down. "Oh cool." I said. He glanced up at me with worry. Could he tell I wasn't feeling good? I looked at him and he nodded as if he just read my mind and  was answering my question. I opened my mouth to tell him to stop reading my mind, but before I could do anything I fell to the floor as everything went black.

Mabel's POV)
As my eyes opened I expected to see some worried faces but that's not what I saw. I was even at the mystery shack. I was at... Piedmont, California! Wait I'm back!? When did I get here? I look around to see I'm not at a house at all... I'm at school. I look some more till I see a younger me, some big tough guys, and Dippers old star hat on the ground, discarded. The guys were standing around something and talking, and I luckily caught some of their conversation. "That beautiful girl doesn't deserve a twerp like you as her boyfriend!" One of the guys said pointing towards younger me. There were four of them.  "S-she's n-not my girl-friend, she's m-m-my si- sister, twin sister t-to be e-e-exact."  Someone stuttered who was not one of the guys. I recognized the voice a second later... it was Dipper's. I remember this, Me and Dipper were in third grade and he got sent to the hospital with a black eye, bloody nose, and a broken arm and leg. "N-now pl-please let m-m-me go ple-please." Dipper asked stuttering some more. "HA! As if." Then I heard a crack and Dipper started whimpering in pain. The four tougher boys laughed and started kicking him, and right before the picture changed I saw dipper trying to reach for  younger Mabel who was walking away with my friends oblivious to what was happening to dipper. The picture changed and I regretted that I didn't even bother to look for dipper that day. I looked up to see what the picture had changed to. I didn't need much to realize what this day was. This memory happened in eighth grade. It was the day Dipper was about to ask out his first ever male crush who, besides me, was his best friend, Alex. 13 year old dipper was wearing a white T-shirt, plaid jacket, and a jean skirt. He had recently taken a liking to skirts. I on the other hand was watching my bro from a tree. He didn't even know I was watching. When  Alex entered the clearing they were meeting at my brother smiled with joy of the fact he came. Alex saw Dipper and blushed a little but it was to light for anyone to really notice. "Hey Dip. So you wanted to ask me something?" He asked as dipper nodded his head. "I was wondering if you'd like to go on a date with me?" Dipper asked. Both me and the 13 year old Mabel mouthed 'nailed it'. Alex looked shocked at this then looked away. "I'm sorry dipper I'm dating someone already. But they don't really care cause they've cheated on me and I'm Bi so here's something to make up for the rejection." Alex said smiling at the last part. He leaned closer to Dipper and gave him a small kiss on the lips. I smirked at the little scene and had half a mind to remind Dipper of this next time I see him. I decided against it and continued to watch the memory. "Again I'm sorry but I hope that makes up for me rejecting you. I know what it's like to get rejected. We can still be best buds right?" He said putting his hand out. "Yeah we can." Dipper said face red from the surprise of the kiss. He took Alex's hand and shook it. They laughed.  Younger me giggled too but it was not as quiet as anticipated. Dipper looked to the tree where mini me was hiding. "Mabel! I know you're there!" He said. I came out with my hands up in defeat. These memories continued for a while some were scary and depressing while others were sad sometimes happy. After who knows how long I woke to see the worried faces of Soos, Ford and Stan.

Dipper POV)
I woke not see a worried Bill (cause I know he would be) but a room filled with with people crying. I knew immediately this was a memory. And it was a memory I did not want to relive. It was the summer after I had confessed to Alex, my best bud, that I liked him. I looked around to see me crying in a corner wearing a black skirt and top and Mabel trying to comfort me. "Why? Why did he do it? He knew I was there to help him through every bit of the way. He still had to go jump off a fucking building." I cried as Mabel still sat there trying to comfort me. I had gotten out of my corner and picked up the flower that symbolized friendship and love, and placed on the lifeless corpse of my friend Alex. The picture shifted and I was now watching as me from my memory busted through the school doors to the roof. Oh no first the funeral, now I have to relive the death. I started to cry. 13 year old me ran to my friend Alex who was about to take his final step that would send him plunging down to his death. "ALEX DONT PLEASE!" I screamed. Alex didn't listen he took his step but before he could fall completely younger me grabbed his hand trying to pull him back up as tons of people watched. "I'm sorry Dipper just know I love you and I want you to move on I'm going to join my sister now." He let go and i watched him plummet to his end.  I went through many more memories of me and Alex passed by torturing me with the fact he's gone and I can never see him again. Then the memories stopped and I was in Bills castle. I looked around. I was still asleep and this hasn't happened yet so maybe this is in the future. I soon realize I'm in bills body, and there was Ford, Stan, Mabel, and a couple others standing around present me's body in a protective way. Before I could even blink I heard Ford say something. "Bye bye Cipher!" Then there was a blue flash of light. I woke up with a jolt to see I was in my room with Bill  at the side of my bed. "Pine tree! I'm so glad your ok!" He said wrapping his arms around me. I wasn't really paying attention when a voice came through my head. Hey Dipper this is me Galaxia. I've come to tell you Bill may not be around for much longer. So however you feel towards him has to be decided fast before it's too late. Then her voice left. I understood what she meant but I didn't know how I felt for Bill I just know I don't want another dead.
