Bill POV

We drove out to this junk yard. "What are we doing here Bill?" Sixer asks. "This is a new place." I gave a chuckle, "Oh Sixer this is just a please to meet up someone." "Susan?" Sixer asks. I laugh, "Soon Sixer...soon my young one. We just got to see someone else. You know him as the crazy sale's man on the streets."

"Old man Mcgucket?" Sixer gasps.

I nod, "Yes. He may act like a dewdropper but really he is great for deals."

Sixer doesn't believe me, "Bill I think you visited the big sleep too long."

"Baloney! I know what I'm doing Sixer. Just trust me on this."

Then we drove up to the junk yard. "Sure not a dewdropper at all Bill." Sixer mutters. "Patience young one." I grab his shoulder. Then we got out of the car.

"Mcgucket." I called out. Then there was some rattle of cans moving and muttering and Old Man Mcgucket is appeared. "What 'a want fellas. Tools? Cards? Two tickets to the show? I got it all!" Old Man Mcgucket was all balled up. I then reach in my pocket and pulled out lots of dough, stack together and held together by a rubber band. About in there was about 1000 dough. I through it to the ground in front of him, "We got a job for you." I ordered. Mcgucket went to the dough and look at it, "I can see you two fellas mean business! I can tell you are in a gang I believe." I gave a smirk, "Smart fella you are."

"Kind of have to act like a nut job so the coppers don't come and take me to the big house!" Mcgucket reply.

"And how!" I reply.

Mcgucket then stuff the money into his pockets, "What can I do for you fellas?"

"Ever heard of the Golden Palace?" I ask. Mcgucket laughs, "Oh you are after that place huh?" I took one step forward, "Maybe the point is Mcgucket I know how a dirty rat you are at times. You are all about the dough. The more people pay you the more you work for them. You see I'm a little short in dough so my pay isn't that high but for you it is...unless you are a rat to me right now." I took another step forward out to him, "Are you working with anyone right now...spill Mcgucket!" I shove Mcgucket to the ground. "I-I-I don't know what you are talking about!" Mcgucket stuttered, "What have you been drinking?" I roll my eyes and kick him, "Tell me if you are working with anyone else Mcgucket! Spill or there will be trouble!"

Mcgucket crawled away from me, "I'm not working with anyone but you at this very moment! I swear on my mother's grave!" I grab him by the collar of his shirt and pulled him up close, "Look at me in the eyes and tell me the truth Mcgucket!"

"I swear! Please don't kill me! I'm not working for anyone that you need to worry about! I'm not working for the Golden Palace!" Mcgucket cried out into my eyes. I straighten up and stuff my hands in the pockets, "Alright...I'll believe you this time Mcgucket, but I do must warn you. If I find out about anything that could ruin this whole thing I'll bop you myself and drink your blood to my lips and dance over your grave."

Then Mcgucket eyes widen, "Bill!"

Sixer was surprise, I hear him muttered wow after that. I tip my hat. Then Mcgucket jump to his feet, "I thought you were dead."

"I was and...sort of still." I reply. Then Mcgucket face Sixer, "I can't believe that you would use your own great nephew!" "Hey!" Sixer snap out, "It wasn't my choice nor Bill's. It was....Dipper's." Sixer pauses a bit. I just continue, "The point is Mcgucket, this stays our little secret. Bill is dead to everyone but my gang nobody hears a word at all."

Mcgucket nods, "Going for the undercover thing aren't ya? Did you kill yourself so you are able to do this undercover."

"No you sap! When I was alive we were there but then I died...bop in fact. Then the whole plan just crash...until now. We are coming out of the ashes!"

Mcgucket nods his head, "Alright Bill, since you already paid me I'm going to work with you. What do you need me for?"

"Well you see once I died things went downhill for my gang. Baby Face didn't take full on and lost a lot of things. It is hard to be the next big shot after one of the world's greatest." I reply, "We need some weapons Mcgucket. Guns, the best of the best."

Mcgucket nods his head, "What are you up to William?"

"My own things Mcgucket. I don't trust you totally to tell you my plan." I sneer.

"Alright." Mcgucket reply, "As you wish William. What kind of guns?"

"Machine guns, revolvers, pistols, Tom Gun, anything nice to keep an audience."

"What are you going to do with the Golden Palace?"

"Oh...you will see...you will see."

Then we all got into the car, me driving, Sixer shot gun, and Mcgucket in the back seat. "Nice fancy mirror William. Stole this from a doll?" Mcgucket asks. I roll my eyes, "What do you think nitwit. This brand is a pine tree. Do you really think a doll would have a pine tree?" I then look back. The mirror and book was there. I had to take it with me just in chase Shooting Star goes looking and I'm glad that I did. "The mirror is a trap to a helper of this. He just needed to be out of the way. Things where getting to hot for him and he was about to chicken out."

"I wasn't chickening out!" Pine Tree hiss as he appeared in the mirror. "You are the one that trick me!"

"Oh really kid. Bill talked to you and told you...hey kid you should go talk to Gideon and have me go inside of you...and soon I'll take fully control....I don't think so kid. That was all you." I reply.

"Well I wasn't chickening out! I didn't want to be a part of it!" Pine Tree snap.

"At first you wanted and once you are in....there is no way back."

"Just sit back kid." Mcgucket advise, "It is the best thing to do right and plus you get to see the great William to do his stuff!"

"Wait William....holly piano! You're William Dee Cipher?!" Pine Tree gasps out, "No wonder you looked so familiar!"

I gave a small smile, "Nice to know that I'm known even to the simplest people."

"What did I got myself into?" I hear Pine Tree muttering. "This is bad...very bad."

"I think he's got is William." Mcgucket laughs, "I think he releases that how much trouble this is. He knows you William, he knows your work, and he knows what you can do."

"If Mabel gets hurt..." Pine Tree started,

"What? You can't do anything in that mirror and there is no way out. Sixer is on my side and Stanley? He's busy picking his nose in some dough river. He is busy doing his own mobster things. Nobody knows that you are gone Pine Tree. Not even your shooting star." I sneer.

Pine Tree bang on the mirror, "I'll find a way."

I laugh, "Your threats doesn't count, Pine Tree. You aren't scary or have a reputation of being a hard boiled of the group. There isn't anything you can do."

"Sit back Pine Tree and relax." Mcgucket added, "At least you are part of this great time."

"What great time? I know what Bill done in the past and how of a monster he is. How could I have a great time knowing that he is going to do something insane!?" Pine Tree reply.

Mcgucket shrugs, "Well for me I'm joining because I'm getting paid. You are joining for free of dough and big sleep. If I were you....just sit back and relax. Right now you are lucky to see the great William do his work."

"We are here." I stated.

"Where is this place" Sixer asks.

"It is just a meeting area. Mcgucket stay here, you can talk with Pine Tree. Come Sixer." I ordered. Then both me and Sixer got out of the car. We were in this run down bar. We enter it. There were lots of ossified fellas and dolls. "What are we doing here?" Sixer asks me. "Just wait your horses, Sixer." I muttered back. Then we just walk through the crowed and headed to the back. There was a door that was about to open but an arm came in front of me and shove be back, "What is your business here sap?" the hard boiled hiss. I straighten my shirt and vest, "Just taking an ankle to enter through this door cause of this beef. There is a dumb Dora that is after me and I need a place to take a smoke. What do you say fella? You want to join with me and my pal here?" "No thank you but I guess if it is a dumb Dora then I guess you should scram." He replies as he step away and even opens the door for us.

I tip my hat to him as I enter and Sixer nods his head. We walk in the very back room. "Well well looks who is back from the dead?" I doll voice cut through the air. I gave a smile and I set my hat down at the table, "Nice to see you again too Susan." Then out of the corner Susan came out. In the Golden Palace she is a singer at that place like how Shooting Star is for her great uncle Stanley. She is older and one eye is lazy or strange...one of those two...but her voice is like an angle.

"Oh and Ford!" She gasps. Sixer gave a cheesy smile, I could tell that from a mile away. Ford and Susan...someone is carrying the torch for someone...hint hint. Then Ford left and Susan was broken but I still think there is something still between them. I could just feel the love in the air.

"Hello Susan." Sixer cheesily smile. I could Susan blush a little.

Oh brother.....shoot the fireworks!

"I thought...I thought that you left." Susan reply.

"I did but I came back." Sixer reply.

"I'm glad that you back. The gang was never the same without you."

Like I said....start the fireworks!

"Alright sorry that we have to interrupt the catching up but we got to move on." I interrupted. Susan and Sixer both nod. "Alright Susan got anything in the Golden Palace?" Susan gave a small nod, "Well after you...died....He change a few things but it doesn't matter to you at the moment. The point is the security is still up high. There isn't a way in unless you are invited by him...or..."

"Or what?" Sixer asks.

"Well I wish I could do this but he knows you Sixer and your great nephew." Susan reply.

"What are you talking about?" I ask.

"Well as a performer I'm allow to bring my family. I was going to say that you are my family but...he knows that you two are Stanford and Dipper Pines. I can't bring you in." Susan replies sadly.

"Its fine Susan, at least you were thinking." I reply. I pace around, "So, only people that he invites are allowed and family of the performers." I groan, "But he knows everyone in town! We can't pay or beat someone to claim to be their family."

"Hey think in the bright side Bill. You are in another body that he wouldn't even notice that you are here. This is a good thing. We can sneak up on him and he wouldn't know what is coming." Susan reply, patting me on the back. "I know...that is why on my death bed I told Gideon to find a way to bring be back in another form. So we can continue with this plan and soon everything will fall into place and the Golden Palace will be mine and soon in time...the town...then the world will bow down to me...once and for all."

Susan gave a dark smile, "And how! Listen Bill there is going to be a way soon I can feel it in my eye."

"What does that supposed to mean?" I ask.

"It means that the bright side of things is going to fall into our side! Trust me on this Bill!"

Then the door opened, "Pacifica!" Susan gasps. We all turn around. "Susan, Ford, Bill." Pacifica said smoothly. I could see on her face that something is up. "Doll what is it?" I ask. Pacifica came in with two other fellas behind her as bodyguards I'm guessing or two of them from her group. "We got trouble. There is a rat."

"What!" I hiss, "Mcgucket." Pacifica shook her head, "Not the dewdropper. I knew you were going to go to him for some weapons...you always do. So I have Wyatt here to do a little....research on him and he is clean...well he isn't working with anyone that we need to worry about."

"There is always a rat." Susan muttered. I thought for a moment, "How do you know there is a rat?" Pacifica walked over to me, "Glad you ask Bill. Cause right now he knows that you are out there, back from the dead."

"How! How do does he know!" I demanded.

"The security has gone up." Pacifica reported.

"And how would you know that...doll face." Susan sneer, "I work there. I'm the one that should know about these things."

"Well...Susan. You haven't been at work today haven't you...cause you work at nights. He is hiding with the coppers." Pacifica reply.

I groan, "Ah! That copper brown nosier! He hides with the coppers so they don't think he is a big shot mobster that basically rules over all! What blind nitwits they are!"

"So he is hiding with the coppers." Sixer stated, "So now we really can't sneak in unless family. Why does it always have to deal with family?"

"It's a mobster thing Sixer." I reply, "Family is what keeps the mob alive."

"So how much does he know about Bill?" Sixer asks.

"Well, all he knows is that Bill is back in a different form. They don't know who or what you really look like. All they know is that you are a young fella with brown hair." Pacifica asks.

"So that is good. That is like half of Gravity Falls!" Sixer said.

"True. So the rat doesn't know that I'm in the body of Pine Tree. So we are still safe but we got to handle the rat." I reply.

"Who could the rat be?" Susan asks.

We all thought for a moment, "I hate to say this Bill but I think it is one of your men." Pacifica spoke out. I scoffed, "Of course you think that! You just don't want to blame on any of your men!" Pacifica roll her eyes, "Bill let's be reasonable, my men doesn't know what the heck you look like! Most of them doesn't even know that you are back! Come to your senses William...it is one of *your* men."

I grinded my teeth as Pacifica continues, "Now I know how it is to have a rat is someone that you trust but we can't lose this opportunity Bill. We are so close and we can't lose it now." I hang my head low, "I understand doll but I just don't know who...." I pause for a moment. "What is it Bill?" Sixer asks. I grind my teeth, "I know how to get the rat out and it is going to cost me."

Mabel POV

I sigh as I close the empty drawer. "Where could the mirror be?" I then headed out to the bar again and Wendy calls me out, "Hey doll what's eating you?" Wendy asks me. "Still can't find the mirror." I reply as I sat down.

"What is special about that mirror anyways?" Wendy asks me.

"My mother gave it to me before she died. I always look at it before I perform and it makes me feel that she is still watching." I reply. "Sure I'm 20 years old but still doesn't mean anything and sure I'm acting like a little kid."

"No! I completely understand. My mother passed away when I was young. I have this necklace from her." Then Wendy pulls it out. It was a shape of a heart and has some writing called hope. "It was passed down to mother to daughter as long as I could remember. I really don't understand why but I keep it to keep her close." Then Wendy stuffs the charm in her shirt, no wonder I didn't notice it. I gave a small smile, "Thanks Wendy."

Then Wendy nudges me, "Hey so I heard that tonight some pretty good big shots are coming in to check the baby vamp."

"What do you mean?" I started to get worried.

"Not like that Mabel. The point is that, these big shots are from big company that could lead you into a successful career as a singer!" Wendy smiled.

I was surprise, "Really?"

Wendy nod, "I'm sure! Robbie told me. The point is, they are coming tonight and if they like you....they want to take you into their company."

I got really excited. I always want to sing in a bigger place and actually get paid. People....many rich people, not just drunk fellas. I will be a baby vamp that could make something out of this world. Then my heart drop, "What about Dipper?"

Wendy nods her head slowly, "Yes you will be gone from Dipper, but does that really matter? You and him are 20 years old. Sure you've been through a lot together like family deaths, fights with drunk fellas and so much more but...you both have your own paths and ways. You got bigger and better places to be and to go and to make something out of your life. You can't always stay here Mabel. You got a chance here to leave this dusty place. Dipper in the other hand...he got his own path and way to do things. Dipper is going off in his own path, now I'm not sure if it is right or wrong."

"What do you mean Wendy?" I ask.

"Well Dipper right now is getting into the mobster business. That could be good or bad. It is a dangerous place to be. The point is Mabel. You can't worry about Dipper at this point. You are now adults and have to take care of your own." Wendy reply.

I nod my head, "I understand what you are saying."

Wendy grabs my hand, "I'm not sound mean to you Mabel but I know you are worry about Dipper at the moment but you can't. We have an important performance tonight and I want you to do your best so you can get out of this joint and into something bigger where you do get paid. I want the best for you Mabel cause you are one of the most dearest friend I have and the safe for Dipper but right now you are having the chance to make something more. Mabel this is a chance to make something big. So please, don't worry about Dipper."

I nod my head, "Alright Wendy, I guess you are right. It is time to go my separate way. I can't stop Dipper from becoming a mobster. He will get money for killing, robbing, and gambling. I can't stay here and don't get paid and have all the drunk drooling over me and there is no protection. I could go to somewhere big, in a much large company or even go to a different city and maybe someday New York!"

"Ab-solut-ly!" Wendy smiled. I nod my head, "Your right Wendy. I'm going to make my own path."
