Background: This story is mainly inspired by that Markmak comic where Mabel goes back in

time and takes the journal before Dipper finds it. I wanted to make a story to show what may

have happened after Mabel took it and what consequences would come from it. This was where

things got hard as without the journal so much would have been different. I finally decided to

make this story continue in the scenario that, Gideon won.

Summary for P2: What Mabel thought would be a small change to the timeline, goes horribly

wrong. Now her entire world has fallen apart and she is in danger from all sides. Who can she

trust, not even her own family? And Dipper has simply disappeared. But worse is yet to come.

PART 2

Mabel looks up at where the Mystery Shack once stood. A massive sign looms overhead.

“Gideonland”. Mabel is left in shock, Gideon has won. Nearby she spots a huge mansion

looming adjacent to the amusement park. She can’t even recognize the place. Everything is just

gone. As Mabel tries to figure out what’s going on, a siren rings. On the PA system Gideon can

be heard. “Attention Mabel Pines has ESCAPED, I repeat MABEL PINES HAS ESCAPED”.

Mabel can’t believe what’s going on. As she is here, the Mabel of that moment is non-existent as

to prevent time ruptures, the time tape was developed to stop that moment's from co existing

alongside their time travelling self. Thanks to that, it looks as though she has escaped. Mabel

spots several of Gideon’s guards approaching. She leaps behind a bush just in time as the guards

don’t spot her. Mabel is left wondering, how could this have happened, was it her fault, how did

Gideon win, and where is her family? She then re to when Gideon won in her timeline,

after losing the shack, they all went to Soos’s house. She decides to go there.

Running through the streets while she was wanted was difficult. Mabel hid behind whatever she

could find, hope no one saw her and made sure to watch for Gideon’s guards. Finally, she arrives

at Soos’s house. She quickly crosses the street before any of the guards can spot her. She arrives

at the door and knocks. Slowly the door creeks open. Soos peaks out to see Mabel. Mabel tells

Soos it is her and to let her in. Soos however does not believe its Mabel. He asks Mabel to say

something to him that only the real Mabel would know. Mabel thinks and then tells Soos he

keeps emergency salami in his wallet. Soos is shocked as no one knew that. He realizes it is

Mabel and quickly lets her in before any of the guards can see her. However, Soos is still

puzzled. He never told Mabel that nor did Mabel ever see his wallet (before Blendins game btw),

so how did she know that? And how did she escape Gideon’s mansion , the most guarded

building in town?

Mabel looks around while Soos puts about a dozen locks on the door. He tells Mabel who is

puzzled it's precautions as you can’t trust anyone out there now, they even ask for ID when going

a block to get groceries. Just then someone from the Living rooms yells at Soos asking who is it.

Mabel recognizes the voice instantly. STAN. Soo then tells Stan that they have a guest over just

as Mabel walks into the room. Stan is overjoyed and on the brink of tears as he runs over to give

Mabel a hug. He tells Mabel he thought he lost her to Gideon back at the start of summer when

Gideon took over. At that moment Stan notices the journal in Mabel’s bag. His eyes grow wide

open. He asks Mabel what that book is doing in her bag. As Mabel pulls it out, some of Dipper’s

chewed up pens come falling out. Stan gets more suspicious. Then he notices Mabel’s sweater,

the birthday party one. He has a flashback at that moment to earlier on in the summer. He is

walking in as Mabel finishes working on that very sweater. She shows it to him and asks what he

thinks. Stan tells her its beautiful and asks what she made it for. Mabel replies she made the

sweater to wear on her birthday, and ONLY her Birthday. Only her birthday. “Only her

birthday”, Stan keeps repeating the sentence over and over. Mabel asks Stan what’s going on. He

looks up to Mabel and says, “you’re not this timelines Mabel”. Mabel realizes that Stan does

know about time travel. She nods her head. Stan starts to tear up and hugs Mabel again, its not

her Mabel, but after so long without her, he cannot bear to let her go.

After about a few hours Mabel, Stan and Soos are chatting and having a fun time reminiscing

and talking about what’s changed. Soos jokes about how Gideon has gotten more mental since

taking over, Stan tells Mabel about how he once sent some of Gideon’s guards on a wild goose

chase through town when he threw a rock straight through a bus stop with Gideon’s face on it.

Mabel then tells them about how she and Dipper defeated Gideon in her timeline. Stan and Soos

suddenly loose the smiles on their faces. Mabel then asks them where Dipper is. She starts to

look around the house to see if Dipper is there. She looks in the bedrooms to see if he is sleeping,

the kitchen, bathroom, etc. She cannot find him anywhere. After looking through the house,

Mabel walks back into the living room where Stan and Soos are watching. She asks the two of

them where Dipper is? Stan and Soos look to each other and appear to be on the brink of tears.

They huddle and whisper to each other. They know while this is not their Mabel, she deserves to

know the truth as much as their Mabel deserved to know.

Stan sighs and sits himself and Mabel down. Soos runs off into the other room as he can’t bear to

hear the story anymore. Stan then explains. When Gideon won, he decided the best thing to do

was to send Dipper and Mabel home. Soos told Stan the rest of the story as he witnessed it from

the cliff after the bus crashed. He saw Dipper and Mabel get snatched up by the Gideonbot. Gideon asks them where journal # 1 is. Both of them have no clue what journal 1 is or why

Gideon is after it. Gideon then throws Dipper off onto the cliff saying if he can’t have the

journal, he might as well take Mabel from Dipper. Mabel is screaming for help. Soos then told

Stan that he saw Dipper tear up in what appeared to be deep thought After some pondering

Dipper turned around and walked into the woods. Stan tells Mabel that he and Soos tried to find

him and tried to save her, but they were helpless to stop Gideon. She was forcefully married to

him, and after weeks of searching, none of them could find Dipper. They got leads from truck

stops up road but after a while, they stopped, as if Dipper had simply vanished. Mabel is left in

shock, and starts to cry. Thanks to her, Dipper was gone, she was married to Gideon and the

mystery shack was destroyed. She asks Stan if there is any way they can fix this, but Stan shakes

his head, saying they can’t just turn back time. Mabel then realizes, she still has the time tape.

She tells grunkle Stan she is going to go back and fix everything and stop Gideon from winning.

She starts to pull the time tape. Before that she gives Stan and Soos one last hug and promises

everything will go back to normal. She presses the button and heads back in time.

Mabel reappears back on June 1st 2012, an hour before Dipper is to find the journal. She plans to

leave the journal in the compartment rather than steal it. She decides, whatever will happen in the

future, she'll figure it out. She starts to run to the compartment. Just then, someone grabs her

hand. She looks up and behind her to see two Time Paradox Avoidance Enforcement Squadron

(TPAES) officers. They analyze Mabel’s face and come up with a match. They explain that

Mabel is wanted for, robbery of time officers time tape, Changing the course of time, and

altering with history, two of the biggest and worst time crimes that can be committed. They

handcuff Mabel and grab the tape out of her hand. Mabel tries to reason with them explaining

she was trying to fix the timeline. They don’t listen to her and tell her to leave the talking for

Time Baby. One officer hits a button on his wrist and the next thing they know, they are in the

year 207̃012, and Mabel is thrown into a time cell, in maximum security, time prison.

To be continued

Part 3 is going to be emotional as Dipper’s fate is revealed. If you thought this was emotional, wait till P3 comes out. Tissues and a bucket to hold tears is recommended once again.
