The Pineless Shooting Star Part 1

Here is part one of that Mabel Story I am writing.

Part 2: http://aminoapps.vertvonline.info/p/ej3fsb

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.

Summary for P1: After saying the wrong thing, Bill loses his chance to get Mabel to give him the rift when she steals Blendin’s time tape and goes back in time to stop the entire summer's events from happening by changing one significant moment. However, as Mabel will learn soon, messing with time is not only dangerous, it is also a major crime.

Part 1

Lurking behind a bush as the sun sets on a late August evening, Blendin stalks in wait. However, his eyes are glowing yellow. He has been possessed by Bill. He spots Mabel run out of the shack in tears. From a distance, he follows her. Eventually stopping to sit next to a tree. Bill gets ready and reminds himself not to mess this up as it’s success or failure moment. He walks up to Mabel as she is wiping of tears. Mabel asks Blendin what he is doing here. However rather then saying to Mabel he has a solution to her problem, he asks her what’s wrong. Bill hopes Mabel will spill the truth and her desire for things to get better will fall into his hands. Mabel tells Blendin how Dipper is going to be staying behind with Ford at the end of the summer and be his apprentice rather then go back home with her and she is both distraught and angry at Dipper for his decision without her consent. Blendin tells Mabel that’s too bad but its not like she can change the timeline or anything. Bill hopes by hearing this, Mabel will think that there is no way that things will change and he can then move in with his offer of an infinite summer.

Blendin begins to explain to Mabel that she can have an infinite summer with his help. He then opens his eyes to see Mabel is no longer sitting next to the tree. He looks around to see Mabel grab his time tape off his belt. She says she is just going to borrow it and starts running off into the woods. Blendin in shock starts chasing Mabel. Mabel starts pulling the time tape and sets in a date. She hits the button and in a flash, she is gone. Blendin arrives just in time to see Mabel disappear into space time. He starts raging and then in punches a tree. An angry Bill fly’s out of Blendin’s body leaving him knocked out. Bill starts to get angry as his plan has gone completely wrong. He can’t go back in time without that tape, the shack is impervious to him and by the time Mabel may return, Ford and Dipper will have sealed the rift (he does not know the rift was in Mabel’s (I mean Dipper’s) bag). He is about to leave when he realizes. Mabel is most likely going to change some major event so things go her way. But as it is a big event, the consequence maybe enough for her to not want the change. She may eventually return back and be right there and ready for him to make a deal with her. Happy that Mabel’s plans will most likely fail, Bill heads back to the nightmare realm to wait for Mabel’s return.

Meanwhile Mabel appears back in time. She begins to look around to see where she is, in front of the Mystery shack. She then looks into Dipper’s bag and finds his watch which he took off when he used the magnet gun over a fear it maybe pulled in by it. She looks at the date and it is just when she wanted it to be. June 1st 2012, the day Dipper found journal 3. She spots the front door open and hides behind a bush. She spots Dipper in his old hat carrying a bunch of signs head into the woods. Mabel slowly follows Dipper from a safe distance. Eventually after about an hour of walking the moment she was waiting for finally happens. Dipper starts to hammer a nail into another tree but hear a loud thud. He realizes it’s a door and opens it to see a weird looking machine. After flicking a switch, it opens a trap door to reveal journal 3. Mabel is overjoyed. From behind a tree she pulls the tape and travels back about an hour earlier.

With Dipper, an hour away from finding the journal, she repeats what she saw him do. She opens the compartment, and starts to flick the switches. Eventually the door opens to reveal Journal 3 to Mabel. Mabel ponders for a moment and then, she grabs the journal out of the compartment, closes it and the one on the tree and hides. After while Dipper arrives. He starts doing the same things he did before again. But when he looks into the compartment, there nothing in it. He is left puzzled at what could have been in there and why is there something like this in the woods. He shrugs it off and continues on into the woods to put up more signs. Hiding behind a tree, and witnessing the timeline change in front of her eyes, Mabel is left with mixed emotions. On one hand, she is happy that Dipper did not find the journal as now he wont leave her at the end of the summer or get paranoid over the course of it. However, she is also left a bit emotional. She realizes that what she has basically done is prevent her and Dipper from embarking on many great adventures, making new friends and of course she stopped Stan from getting Ford back and much more. However, she then decides maybe things will work out and maybe as she has the journal in her possession she may give it to Stan before they leave or something. She pulls out the time tape and sets it back to the present and with a hit of the button she disappears into space time.

Mabel reappears back in the present in the wooded area where she ran into Blendin. She does not see him so she assumes maybe he found his own way back. She starts heading home and soon arrives back at the Mystery Shack. However, to her horror, what she finds in the location where the Mystery Shack should be, is simply put, something out of her, Dipper and Stan’s worst nightmare. Multiplied by 10.
