We Never Left

2 is company

*Dippers Point of View

When everything became dark, somehow Mabel and I got separated. I couldn't find her!

"Mabel! Mabel where are you?" I call into the darkness.

"Dipper, over here! I found something!" She calls back. I race in the direction of her voice. Suddenly we're back in the woods, like we never left.

"I've been thinking, and I'm done with boys. And glitter. And sparkles. We're going full mystery twins and saving our family!" She says. I thought she found something...

"Sounds great, but what now? We can't leave because it adapts to make us think we did. So what do we do?" I ask her.

" I don't know. You're the smart one Dipper. And I think you're taller now too. You're the Alpha twin. There's a reason Grunkle Ford took you on as an apprentice." She shrugs.

"Im not taking it though." I sigh.

"Bro-bro, I want you to be happy. And you want to take it, so you should." She says with a smile.

"Wait, really? But, don't you need me?" I ask her, shocked.

"Of course I need you, doofus. But I know how much this means to you. Besides, we'll do video chats and stuff. Ill call you every day and if anyone tries to bully me then I'll call my bro to come shoot them with a freeze ray." She smiles.

"Mabel! Thank you!" I run forwards and give her a giant hug. Wait...

"Wait.. You. You're not Mabel." I step backwards. She smiles again, and I realize her braces are blue. The color I said she should get. Not what she got.

Its not my sister.

"What do you mean Dipper? Of course its me. Who else could it be?" She asks innocently.

"Stay away from me!" I shout at it.

"You shouldn't have done that, kid." It says and collapses into red and black maggots. I run away but the entire world is crumbling. I clap my hands. If this isn't Mabel land then maybe its my bubble. Maybe I have control!

"Not anymore, kid" Bills voice echoes around me. I kick at the bugs swarming closer and closer. It doesn't help.

"Help! Someone help! Anybody! Help me!" I scream as they swarm up my legs, keeping me from running. Soon its up to my neck. I take one deep breath before they cover my head and everything is dark.

*Fords Point if View

Bill unfroze me from the statue. I falls forwards before catching my footing. I quickly survey the room. 4 henchmainiacs, about 3 dozen eye bats, a throne of human statues, a little kid up in a cage, and one demonic nacho at its center.

"Good old Sixer. I'll make this short and sweet. How do I get out of this hick town?" Bill demands.

He must be referring to gravity falls weirdness, wait. Even thinking it could give it away. Even with the plate in my head.

"I'll die before telling you!" I yell up at him. He just chuckles.

"The funny thing is, Sixer, that you don't have to. I got the entire town. All your friends. Your niece. And your apprentice. Looks like old fiddlesticks and your brother skipped town, but torturing those kids will make you talk. Pinetree and I were just about to get started." He pops his knuckles. He can't!

"Bill! You touch any of them and I'll never tell you anything!" I yell, hoping he won't call my bluff. My family is my greatest weakness.

"Oops" he says simply. I'm lifted into the air by chains that materialize out of nowhere.

"It might be too late for that but you can fix this." He taunts.

"Never!" I proclaim. He doesn't have a mouth, but I swear he smiles.

"We'll just have to check in on Pinetree in a few days then. Let him settle into his new place." He snarls and all of a sudden I'm gold again. I'm aware of my body being gold, but no time seems to pass for me when I am.

Stay strong Dipper. I'm sorry, but I have to hold out. Stan wouldn't just leave. He might not be my favorite person, but when he isn't wrecking science fair projects and ripping holes in the space time continuum, hes good, honest and loyal. Usually. Sometimes. Partially. He'll save you. Just hold on.

*Stans Point of View at the beginning of weirdmageddon

When the world ended, I was lucky. I saw the giant wave of oil slick rainbow coming down on me in my rearview mirror so I floored it. It was feet behind the Stanley Mobile when it hit some invisible wall. I got out and stared at the town. Its trapped in a bubble of red sky, smoke and fire. It's that little one eyed demon! I bet Ford found a way to cause this. In fact, I bet hes right at the center of it. I should probably leave, BUT THE KIDS ARE IN THERE!

I can see a figure float up into the air and is surrounded by a pink bubble. Before I saw the shooting star on it, I knew it was Mabel. I have to find Powers and Trigger. I can't do this alone, but I need a diversion. The US government should do just fine. What else have they done for me?

Don't worry kids, I'm coming.

Don't worry Ford. I'm coming.
