"Here's your shirt back." Wendy said as she handed Dipper his shirt.

"Oh yeah, thanks." Dipper said as he put his shirt on.

They ran home, to save time.

"Wait." Dipper said as they were about to pass a stream.

Wendy stopped.

Dipper seen the flower next to the stream.

He dug it out and planted it in his hat, for Mabel.

Time stopped and when dipper looked behind him, Bill was there.
"Hey there pine tree, nifty flower you got there." Bill said.

Dipper shielded the flower. "Why do you care again?"

"How about let's make a deal... I get that flower... and you get your sister back." He said as he snapped his fingers and Mabel, who was is a water wheelbarrow and fainted appeared by his side.

"Mabel!" Dipper yelled. "How did you even get her?"

"It's a long story." Bill replied.

...

"Where is your family?" Mermando asked Mabel.

"They're at home... I kinda ran away." Mabel replied.

Mermando dropped his suitcase. "Mabel you must go back."

"What? Why? What about you?"

"Mabel, my family was devastated when they lost me." Mermando said as he grabbed Mabel's shoulders. "Do not put your family through the suffering my family went through when they lost me."

Mabel played with her braid. "Yeah... you're right... I guess I just really wanted to see you."

"And I am flattered. But you must be going now."

"Okay" Mabel said. She smiled. Mermando was right.

"Corala?" Mabel called.

Corala swam by her side "yea?"

"Can you take me home? Back to lake gravity falls?"

"Uh.... not really"

"What? Why not? You helped me get here."

"I don't know... I guess I don't remember."

Time froze. "Hey there shooting star" Bill said.

"Bill" Mabel said.

"Desperate to get back to Gravity Falls? I can take you. No fee necessary."

"No fees? I don't have to do anything?"

"Nothing."

"You'll take me to Gravity Falls?"

"Yes."

Mabel played with her braid. "I guess it's a deal."

"That's my shooting star." He said as he shook hands with Mabel.

...

"You tricked her!" Dipper said.

"Technically we're still in Gravity Falls." Bill said.

"Now hand over the flower."

Dipper looked at the flower, then at Mabel. They needed the flower to change back to normal.

"Only if you give it back the way I gave it to you after you do... whatever you're gonna do with it."

"Can do" Bill said.

They sealed the deal.

Mabel, who was in a wheelbarrow full of water was given to Dipper. The flower floated to Bill.

Time started. Wendy was dazed and Mabel woke up.

"Mabel." Dipper said he hugged Mabel and wagged his fluffy deer tail.

"Dipper!" Mabel said as she hugged her brother back. Her eyes were watery. She had missed him so much.

They were startled when they heard Wendy growl. She was growling at Bill who was holding the flower. He was laughing hysterically as he stroked the petals.

"He looks like he's about to cry" Mabel whispered.

A blue puff of smoke prevented everyone from seeing.

When it disappeared a man with blonde hair and small beard, a triangular eyepatch, a black cane and top hat and a yellow tux designed with bricks on the ends appeared.

"Here's your flower back." The man said as he threw it towards Dipper.

Dipper scrambled to catch it. He did, but was still shocked.

With a snap of his fingers Bill was gone.

"Who was that?" Wendy said.

"The evil triangle guy." Mabel said.

"We'll explain on the way." Dipper said.
