Third POV

"What's your name?" Ford asked Dipper for what seems like the one hundred times.

"M.....ma...Mason pines."

Ford eyes widen in shock while Mable looks hopeful. Maybe, just maybe this method he's using is working. After weeks and weeks on endless torment, Dipper could finally be back to their normal.

Dipper, however, looks lifeless. His eyes holds a emptiness that one wishes to dive into. He felt his true self slipping and cant do anything to stop. While the other two were hopeful, he feels hopeless, helpless.

The moment Ford began his mental treatment on Dipper, his mind began falling apart. All his ideas, all his plans, his future was disappearing. You could say he's a mindless puppet. To be more specific, he's their puppet.

"How old are you Mason?" Ford asked.

"Tw-....Twenty five years....o-old..." Dipper stutters.

Ford looks pleased. He decides to ask one more question. "Who are your family?"

"...mom...d-dad....St-Stanley pines...StandF-ford pines...a-and Mable Pines. " He said blankly, staring straight ahead with widen eyes that held no emotion.

"Grunkle Ford I think it worked!" Mable cheers with a bright smile on her face.

"Not quite yet. I'm going to have to reprogram his brain to our liking which will take some time. I'm going to have to preform electric shock therapy. Dipper is still able to think on his own. In order for the reprogramming to work, his ability to think needs to be non-existent." Ford explains, removing the skinny metal sticks from dippers head.

Mable tilts her head, not understanding anything Ford said. ".....huh?"

Ford sighs heavily, placing the sticks onto the table while grabbing the machine uses for shock therapy. "For old Dipper to come back, this new Dipper needs to go bye bye." He said with the roll of his eyes.

"Oooooooohhhh!" Mable giggles. "I get it now!.......huh? Well it's not my fault I don't understand all that science stuff Pacifica....well at least my parents don't mind that I'm slow! And calling someone slow is very mean." Mable pouts, pushing the air as if someone was next to her.

Ford looks at his great niece with pity. Ford and Stan caught Mable talking to herself one day. She explained how she's able to see her dead loved ones thanks to the deal she made with Bill. Ford concluded that Mable is a lost cause. He wants to help her, but his form of 'help' would only cause more damage. So, Stan and Ford decided to no longer question it and play along for mable's happiness.

Ford walks over to Dipper, placing the two metal ends on each side of Dipper's temples. "Mable plug up the machine and turn it to high. We have no time to waste, but get that belt off the table and place it into his mouth in-between his teeth."
