Mabel POV

Joe took me back to the dressing room. For it is time to perform. I was a bit nervous about the whole thing but I was ready. Joe sat on the desk, "I never heard you sing." I look at him, "Don't worry. You will get to see it tonight." Then Joe picks up the book. "Don't!" I stared but he just picked it up and went through the book, "What is this? Weird book it is." I took it from him. "I'm sorry." Joe said, "What's wrong?"

I sigh, "Joe you are really a sweet fella..."

"Mabel what is going on? I was just looking at the book." Joe said, gently touching my arm. "What's on your mind?"

I sigh, "You wouldn't believe me."

"Well that book says something about weirdness."

"Well...promise me that you don't think that I'm crazy."

Then I explain to him what was going on with Bill, Ford, Dipper, and everything. Joe looks at me. "Joe I'm not crazy and no I don't need sleep. It's all true." I reply. Joe got off of the desk, "Mabel I don't know what to say." I grab his arm, "Please Joe...." Joe looks at me, "I only known for you a few hours but...it feels like I known you for a while. I feel like I should trust you...and to my parents always say...trust your gut and heart, and both of them is telling me that you are crazy but I should trust you."

"So?" I questioned. Joe nod, "I believe you...still think that you are crazy but still believe you. That means that I'm crazy too...I guess we can be crazy at the same time." I gave a soft chuckle. "So what do you want me to do?" Joe asks. "Well keep this book safe. I can't let them catch me with this. I already memorize the spell to get my brother out and to put Bill in." I handed Joe the book, "Keep this safe and away from my uncle, Bill, and anyone you asks for it. Only you can trust me." Joe nod, "What to do about your uncle and the figure of your brother. They can come in since they are family...well one of them is blood while the other is in the body of your brother."

I shrug, "I don't know. I don't know what to do with those two."

"So you really don't have a full plan do we?" Joe asks. "No I don't even know what their plan is. That is why I really need Dipper but Pacifica took him." I explain. "Pacifica?" Joe asks. I nod my head, "Don't know the last name."

Joe shook his head, "No need to. I know one girl name Pacifica and her name is Pacifica Northwest. She is one of Alex's enemies."

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"Pacifica is a mobster boss." Joe reply. "A lot of people try to go after Alex because of his huge company. He has about over three billion dollars and over 10,000 places. He is like a huge buffa to all the mobsters and gangs around the world. In this town Gravity Falls there are about10 mobster gangs which always fight with our neighbors mobsters gang. Trying to take over the whole area. Out of the ten only four are quite powerful. There is the Bill Cipher gang which...was slipping since he died...well they might rise up again since he's back. Then Pacifica Northwest is another huge one. Then Stanley Pines...which I know he is your other uncle but he isn't a treat to us. He is one of the good mobsters...in fact we are working on working together...that idea is still in process. Then Reed Buckley. An enemy to your great uncle. Our main ones for Alex are Pacifica and Bill which are working together. That is why we wanted Stanley to help us out. Well now he might be more willingly because now since you are working here."

"Is Alex a mobster?" I ask.

Joe shook his head, "No...not really. Just a player for this mobster game but isn't really a mobster. He doesn't kill....he just protects and makes deals with other company to get things done. He wants the best for his sister and his company."

I nod my head, "I know how that is. That is how both me and Dipper got into this mess. Dipper just wanted to protect me from the fellas you want to hurt me."

Joe nods his head, "Doesn't matter know. I'm going to hide the book from anyone and protect it. Then I'm going to protect you and then we are going to find your brother and stop Bill. Got it?"

I nod my head and hug him, "Thank you Joe." Then there was a knock on the door. A fella pokes his head through the door, "Miss Pines we are ready for you." "Alright thank you...be right out." I reply. Then he left. I handed him the book. Then he kisses me on the cheek then he left. I then went out.

I went up to the stage. "Good luck Mabel." Ariel reply. She was waiting for me backstage. "You'll do great. I hope you don't have stage fright. There is a lot of people. Don't get nervous alright." Then Ariel gave thumbs up, two of them. I gave a smile. Then a voice called out, "Ladies and gentleman, we have a new doll face around here. She is a young and a rooky but sings like an angle. Meet the new addition to the Golden Palace...Mabel Pines!" Then I headed out. Bright light blinded me and the sound of people clapping put my ears to deaf. I was wearing a nice show dress with a head piece, like I always do. I headed to the microphone. I then saw my family in one of the front seats. There was Stan...and Ford and Bill.

I watch them for a moment...mainly Ford and Bill. Glaring them down. Then the music started. I started to sing the song. The song was called, 'Swinging to the Moon'. It was a type of jazzy song and they are loving it. I finish that and everyone clap and there was a lot of people. Then I started to sing another song, it was slower and sweet. Then I watch Bill got up and started to walk away. I tried to watch him but he disappeared in the dark. I got a bad feeling about this but I had to focus on the music at the moment.

I have to sing 4 songs. The third song I saw Alex had came and sat next to Stan. They mutter to each other. My guess was making a deal of some sort about joining together. I didn't mind that. I think that would be good for them. Then by my last song and I was done. Everyone clap and some even stood up. At this point Bill hasn't come back. I got worried a bit. I did a bowed and then I headed off the stage. As I went to backstage, I didn't see...anyone...there was nobody there. Then suddenly I was grabbing from behind, a hand cover my mouth and one pin one arm behind my shoulder blades, "Great singing Shooting Star. Now why don't you be a doll and we can make this nice and easy." Bill hiss in my ear.

Then he started to walk me out, we were heading to the stair ways. I struggle with Bill but he held on tightly. Then when we went around a corner there was some coppers there. Bill yanks me away. "If you make a sound...you will never see your brother again." He hisses in my ear. I heard the coppers talking to each other. Then their radio went off, "WE NEED BACK UP! THERE HAS BEEN A BOMB THAT WENT OFF AT THE WATTER TOWER. EVERYONE ON DECK." Then they came down the hall, missing us.

Then Bill yank me do the stairs and then we headed to the second story of the show room. It was more as personal rooms. We went down the hall till we got to room 1817. "Open the door doll." Bill ordered. He tightens his grip on my arm between my shoulder blades. I wince. Then I open the door and Bill shove me in there. I trip and fell to the ground. Then someone grab me and pin me down as they ty my hands behind my back. I couldn't really see who was all in there.

"Good you got her nice and easy." A female voice reply. "Yeah and Mcgucket is doing his job. Within a few minutes we can start." Bill reply. Then I was yank up to a sitting poison. Then I saw who all we there. There was a female with long blond hair, Pacifica I'm guessing, Bill, Susan, this other man and...Ariel. She was also had her hands tied behind her back and a gag in her mouth. She was pale with fear.

Pacifica was sitting in a chair with a cloth on her lap, Susan standing by her, Bill looking over at the people and the other hard boil man was standing by me. He then reach over and grab Ariel and have her sit by me. "What are you up to Bill?" I demanded, "What is the point of this!" Bill laugh, "Oh Shooting Star there is much you don't know but history is about to be made here...just in a few minutes."

I open my mouth to say something but Bill Stop me, "I wouldn't say anything Shooting Star. Calling out and so on. Someone may get hurt, like you...Alex's sister or your brother." I close my mouth then open, "You can't do this!"

Bill gives out a chuckle, "Oh you see Shooting Star this is all I've ever dream of doing. For years and years I tried to get into this place so it could all be mind. I could use it as a dealership. An easy ways to make deals, dough, and dolls to fall in love. The death of the coppers and so on with everything to be a mobster. Then this chance came. Then everything is now falling to place." Then Bill turns around, "I do must thank you Shooting Star. Without your pretty little voice getting you in here then this wouldn't be easy as I like it. Then of course for your brother Pine Tree. He helped out big time."

"Where is Dipper?" I demanded. Bill look at Pacifica. "Oh he is the one trap in a mirror?" Pacifica asks sarcastically. Then she gave a dark smile then she sigh, "Oh alright," Then she pulled out the mirror from under the cloth on her lap. "Oh Dipper someone wants to meet you." Pacifica taunts. Then Dipper appeared in the mirror. At first ticked off then he saw me and then panic, "Mabel!"

"See safe and sound...for now." Pacifica taunts.

"Bill you let her go right now!" Dipper snaps.

Bill laughs, "Sorry Pine Tree but she still has some use to me." Then Bill looks at his watch, then gave a nasty grin, "Show time." Then the hard boiled pulled out a gun and pointed at Bill. "No can do Bill." The two girls gaps. Bill laugh, "Oh you really think so Baby Face? You see you may think that you just got away with this...but you haven't. You see Baby Face I knew you were the rat when I saw your face early today. Don't think that I didn't just let that past by do you?"

Then there was a gun shot. "No!" I cried out, thinking it was Baby Face that shot Bill. I wouldn't mind him shooting Bill but he was in Dipper's body and I wouldn't want Dipper to be in a mirror for all of his life. Then Baby Face just drop to the ground, blood oozing out of his back and front. "Great timing Sixer." Bill reply. I turn back and I could see Ford with a gun with smoke coming out of it, "No problem Bill." Ford closes the door and locked it. "Do you think they heard that wise guy?" Pacifica asks. "Nope. They are too busy watching the singing and dancing quadruplets down there." Ford reply. Then he came, "Got the book Susan?"

"Ha!" I laugh, "She doesn't have the book and neither do I. It's long gone." Susan gave a dark smile, "Oh really? You think Little Joseph boy could really hide it." Then she pulled out the book. My heart and jaw just drop, "What have you done with him!" Susan hands the book to Ford, "Oh sweetheart it wasn't hard. Sure he would have gotten away but I knew about the book. Right now he's a bit...tied up I guess you can say." I tighten my fists.

Then Bill looked at his watch, "Now time for the real show, Sixer mind doing the honors?" "Sure thing Bill." Ford reply, setting the book down on a nightstand then he went and picked up Baby Face and threw him over the railing. Then there were sounds of screams and then a whole lot of gun shots and commands. Bill then grabs me and then Susan handed him a gun. We went up to the railing and Bill shot in the air. People screamed but then they were all silent, "Listen up Nitwits. Bill Cipher is back and boy he is glad to be here. Hope you like the new look that I have here. The point is...I got two hostages up here." Then he yank me close, "Hostage number one, your baby doll face Mabel or I like to call her Shooting Star." He pointed the gun at me. "Then of course there is hostage number two." Then Ford came up with Ariel in his grip and pointed a gun at her, "Ariel Hirsch, the twin sister of the great Alex Hirsch." Bill continues, "Now there is another thing....the rest of you are also hostages!"

Then people gasp and started to muttered. Bill started to shoot up in the air again and people got quiet again, "Now, for you folks I can kill you if I want. My pals would love to go and kill you. The sight of blood is what they are hungering right now. The point is...I know you are out there somewhere Alex and you know what I want. If you don't give me what I want in five minutes I start killing the useless hostages...then once they are all dead....I'm killing your two joys right now...your sister and the doll face that could make you billions more! Now the real question...who should we start fist between the two? Huh? Well I guess we will have to wait and see."

Then Bill threw me down to the ground. Then I heard some gun shots going around from machine guns. Then Ariel was shoved down next to me. Ford gags me after he threw Ariel down to the ground.

"Why! Why are you doing this?" Dipper demanded, banging on the glass. Bill gave a dark chuckle, "Oh Pine Tree cause I want dough, fame and to be the big shot of the world. How hard to connect the dots? But I am going to be a gentleman and thank all that had help me make this possible...we don't have drinks though...so I guess we can pretend I guess." Bill reply. Then he lifts up his hand, pretending to have a cup there.

"To Pacifica you always have my back. To Susan you always told me secrets of this place. To Sixer who finally came back home and help make this possible. To Ariel to being Alex's twin sister and for making the deal more possible for him to give me all that he has. To Pine Tree who let me into his body and for me to come back from the dead and take over. Finally to Shooting Star, who let us all in by her beautiful voice." Bill sneered. Then he raises his fake cup, "To all of you!"

Everyone raise a pretended cup.

"To victory!" Bill announces. "To victory!" Everyone else cheered...but me, Ariel, and Dipper of course. I saw Ariel cry softly. I just glare at Bill. Dipper also glared at Bill but then look away in sadness. He's probity beating himself because of what he did. I then glare up at Ford, who was smiling. How could he be smiling at this time! How could he betrayed his family.

I tried freeing myself from the bounds but it didn't work. Everything seems hopeless now. I tried to stop Bill but all has failed. In this room was four evil criminals that are murders and for taking down the Golden Palace. A piano boy that got tricked into behind a slave to a mobster that destroyed all. A young singer that has a famous, rich, and powerful brother that the mobsters want. Then there is me, a young singer with a dream to find love, sing, and to be with the ones that I love but I got inside this mess because of my dreams. Then the people down there were just innocent people that are being killed right now to just make a point across. All innocent people...even the non-innocent people...nobody could be safe.....for Bill Cipher has won.
