Mabel's POV

I wake up early, as usually, and I notice Dipper isn't in bed. I remember that he was hanging out with that new girl,
Y/n, last night. I can't believe she is Wendy's cousin! I wonder if she likes glitter or boy bands or boys in general! I wonder why Wendy hasn't mentioned her to us before...or maybe she has and I was to busy thinking about my pet pig, Waddles. Haha, I love that pig.

I go down stairs wearing my shooting star sweater to start off the day with pancakes made by my Grunkle Stan. I look in the living room and see both Dipper and Y/n asleep on the chair, both of them snoring and drooling, both of them sleeping next to each other.

I can't express how adorable this is, they look soo cute together! I ran back up the stairs, quietly so I wouldn't wake them up, and grabbed my camera. I take about 10 photos of them and decide I could use this as blackmail for Dipper one day. I can't wake Dipper and Y/n up with the camera still in my hand so I throw it across the room.

"Hey Dipper, whatcha doin'?" I yell in his ear. He woke up screaming his girly scream at the top of his lungs. I'm surprised he still hasn't reached the point where his voice starts to change. I like it though...I like to make fun of it. Haha, I crack myself up sometimes with my own thoughts.

"Mabel, what are you doing?" Dipper asks me with his voice still having a hint of sleepy in it.

"Just watching you drool all over Y/n's shoulder."

"Wait--What?! Oh come on...I didn't know...I mean, I-I didn't mean to!...*sigh* I-I am s-so sorry Y-Y/n..."

Y/n had woken up from Dipper's scream, she looks over at her shoulder then at Dipper and starts laughing. "It's cool, really Dipper. Anyways, I may have drooled all over your hat so we're even."

Dipper looks up at his hat and starts laughing too, but eventually I can see his cheeks start turning red in embarrassment. I'm sure I would be too if I drooled on my crush's cousin. I think Y/n could see the
blushing-of-embarrassment made by my brother because she started to give him a hug. Why do I feel like I missed something from last night? Time for me to start making my investigation. I am serious. Serious.

Grunkle Stan and Ford come into the room; one of them is fully clothed and the other is, well, in his everyday-at-home clothes. Basically, Grunkle Stan was dressed as if he had no manners. "Grunkle Stan, we have a guest here. You can't just dress like that in front of her!"

"Hey, when you get to be my age, you can tell me what I can and can't wear." Grunkle Stan said. I hope I never get to be his age, I can't imagine me looking like that. I probably could but I don't want to.

"Well Stanley, I am your age so you listen to me: go get change into something more casual." Ford said.

"This is as casual as it gets."

"Stanley?"

"Fine, fine. I'll go get change but that just means breakfast is going to be delayed."

Grunkle Stan leaves and Ford starts to talk, "So Y/n, how did you sleep last night?"

"It was okay but I want to go home now." Y/n said. Ford scratched the back of his head and looked a bit worried. It was odd for him to look like that but he seemed to look worried more often now. What was he so worried about anyways? "Okay, after breakfast Wendy should be coming over for her normal shift, that's when you'll be able to go back home. Is that okay with you?" She nodded her head slowly and we all go into the kitchen to wait for Grunkle Stan.

Y/N's POV

Once Stan was fully clothed, he made us pancakes. I have to say, they weren't the worst pancakes I've had. I look at the clock waiting for Wendy to come. I really just want to go home; why on earth does time have to go by so slow? I look out the window and I see the bright golden sun hitting the woods with its magnificent rays of light. Just last night I was in the those woods, running from something. I don't know what it was but someone was definitely following me, watching my every move.

I look over at the Pines Family and I see Ford watching me. He has that look on his face when someone wants to say something but they don't know if they should say it. Ford then sighs and says, "Y/n, can I ask you something personal?"

"S-Sure, what is it that you want to ask me?" I say nervously. How personal does he want to get? Well, I'm about to find out.

"How much do you know about a wheel with strange symbols on it?" Wait, is he talking about the wheel in my nightmares? I thought I was the only one who knew this. Everyone seems to start staring at Ford.

"Wait, are you talking about Bill's wheel?" Stan asked.

"If you want to be more specific then yes, that's what I'm talking about."

"Why though? How would she know about that wheel?" Dipper asks.

I look at them very confused. "I-I'm not crazy?" I whisper. Everyone turns towards me. I decide to speak a little louder for them to hear, "I'm not crazy? All this time, I thought it was just my imagination but I knew it had to be something more. You guys know about the wheel with the strange symbols? The tree, the shooting star, the question mark, the hand with six fingers, the llama, the bag of ice, the glasses, the heart, another star, and the symbol on Stan's fez; all of them?"

Everyone's expression looks blank. I am officially scared for I just realized that Stan said it was "Bill's wheel". The dream demon's wheel has been haunting me for ten years. "I know Bill, the dream demon, as well. He appeared yesterday in my dream actually." I tell them. This is what makes Stan start choking on his soda and Mabel to start screaming like a psycho.

Ford grabs onto both of my shoulders tight and our heads are an inch away. His eyes are filled with not worry but fear. "Y/n, I need you to tell me exactly everything that happened in that dream. I mean it, every bit of information. Your life could depend on it." My life?! Did he just say that my life is basically in danger?! I start breathing hard, I try to remember every bit of information and the dream comes back to me like a wave crashing onto the shore. "I was listening to music when I drifted off-"

"What song?" Ford asks.

"Phoenix by Fall Out Boy."

"Never heard of that band but continue."

"Okay, anyways, the wheel appeared after I drifted off to sleep just like it always has for the past ten years."

"Interesting, the past ten years?"

"Yes, ten years ago I was five and that was the last time I visited Gravity Falls. This wheel has appeared every night, as if it were a vision. Some symbols would glow time-to-time but that's all. Yesterday though, the triangular figure in the middle of the wheel pops out of the type of drawing."

"Bill appeared, and this was the first time?"

"Yes, the very first. He was golden with light appearing off of him. He wore a bow tie, top hat, and had a cane. Also he only had one eye."

"Did he say anything to you?"

"No, no noise came out of him. All he did was extend his hand to me an--"

"Please tell me you did not grab his hand. Did you grab his hand?!" Ford yells at me even more terrified.

"N-No, w-well, i-it's hard to say
r-really--"

"What do you mean? What happened?!" At this point I am being shaken to get the answer out of me. Tears start streaming down my face because I am officially terrified right now.

"I-I don't know, it's hard to remember. I went to reach his hand and..." It all comes back to me, something I didn't realize before. I start telling them as it is happening in my head, "The symbols, they are also coming out of the drawing. Each symbol is on my body, glowing. Blue fire surrounding both of us, his hand also on fire. None of this is scaring me though, I basically don't even see all of this happening. Something is pulling me towards Bill. I go to grab his hand and as my hand is hovering an inch over his...I wake up."

Ford is staring at me and I can't even tell what his expression is now. He let's go of me and turns back to the rest of the family who I can tell are all terrified. Mabel is hugging onto a pig that came out of no where, Stan dropped his soda which is all over the floor now, and Dipper can't keep his eyes off me looking concern.

"A-Am I going to be okay?" I ask them. I finally have stopped crying and Dipper turns his attention towards Ford. Before Ford can say anything, Dipper answers my question, "You will be, this may be a sign that Bill is not defeated and we will stop at nothing till you are safe."

Mabel let's go of her pig and yells, "Dipper's right! If Bill wants to hurt you, he'll have to go pass the Mystery Twins." Dipper and Mabel turn towards each other and say "Boosh!" while fist bumping. Ford smiles at seeing the two of them so confident. "Alright, maybe this could work. You'll have to promise me that everyday you will come to the Mystery Shack to check in with us so we know you are okay." Ford tells me. I nod and say, "I promise, Ford, I will come everyday with no delay." This is going to be one strange summer for me and hopefully it won't end with me dead.
