"Mabel."

Dipper stood by the door, staring at his pale-looking twin. She looked half-dead, even the colour from her cheeks had dissapeared...

He blinked, his vision getting blurry.

Mabel...

She sat on the hospital bed, looking dazed, not processing anything.

Dipper turned his back to not disturb his sister, but after one step he spun around and walked to his sister.

"Mabel." He said again.

No reply.

He grabbed her by the arm. Mabel lifted her gaze slowly up to his.

"Mabel. You have to wake up. He's not here anymore, you need to wake up. You can't continue like this. You need help. And I will help you." His determination could be seen through his eyes.

"Dipper, where is BIll?"

"Mabel, we have to learn to forget him. I know he has become someone dear to you, you trust him. I know, I do not doubt him anymore, but he is gone. Gone trying to protect you. I hope you know that was because he loved you and he sacrificed himself for you. Remember that, Mabel."

Mabel looked into his eyes, a tear leaking from her tired eyes.

( a month later )

The twins were at the Mystery Shack, helping Grunkle Stan tend the shop.

"Mabel, can you help tend the counter just for a little bit? I need to go to the toilet!"

"Sure!" came a cheerful reply. Mabel stopped organising the shelves and took the counter from Dipper.

Her steps were airy and light, her face full of exhuberance and positivity. The red tinge of her cheeks was there, the bags below her eyes gone.

Dipper smiled, before leaving.

Mabel sat on the chair alone, looking around.

She was aware and appreciative of her brother's efforts to get her back and partly because of him, she willed herself to forget, let it be a thing of the past.

Although if given a choice, she would want to change things.

She touched the necklace on her neck. The same one he had given her months ago, she still cherished it.

She smiled.

---

The doorbell on the door ringed, signalling that someone has entered the shop.

"Hi welcome! How may I help you-" Mabel looked up to welcome the new customer, and stopped.

She stared at him.

The familiar smart yellow suit greeted her, along with the shining yellow-golden hair.

That charming smirk of his was plastered on his face as he leaned against the door.

At the sight of Mabel, his features softened, and that smirk curled into a genuine smile.

They were some distance apart, and without hesitation, Mabel ran out into the door, enveloping him in a tight embrace.

His arm wrapped her protectively from behind, pulling her closer.

Tears streamed down her face as she buried her face into his chest.

After so long, finally...

"Shooting star, I'm back," he whispered tenderly into her ear.
