Mabel slammed the door to her bedroom shut tightly as tears poured down her usually cheerful face.

This was the second boyfriend in two years to leave her.

What had she done wrong? What made her boyfriends want to leave her for different women? Was it because of her happy deposition? Was it because how she was so zany? If it weren't those things than what was it?

Dipper had the same the girlfriend that he met when they started college in the last year and half so why didn't she have the same results.

As she sat down on her bed the world around her started to take on a monochrome color.

She was about to question this when a tall blonde man dressed in yellow and black appeared in the center of the room.

Mabel didn't need to ask who he was when she instantly recognized the golden insane glint in his left eye.

Although she couldn't hide the blush on her face when she saw how dashing he looked; but she composed herself and glared in anger.

"What are you doing here?!" She sneered. "Don't have other people's lives to ruin?!"

The man laughed as he tipped his signature black hat and bowed.

"Plenty...!" He giggled. "But nothing warms my heart more than to ruin yours and Pine Tree's lives, Shooting Star!"

Mabel hmphed as she tried to brush away tears from eyes; not wanting Bill to see her cry."

Unfortunately he took noticed as he sat down on the bed with her.

"What's with you...?" Bill asked, cocking his head.

"None of your God Damn business!" She bit back.

"Tell me!"

"No..."

"Tell me!"

"No...!"

"Tell me!"

"NO!" Mabel screamed, slapping him across the face.

Bill laughed as he held his raw cheek.

"Quite the slap there, slugger." He cooed.

"Just go away!" She cried, burying her face in the pillow.

Mabel felt herself being pulled back up and pulled into the demon's arms.

"Come on... Shooting Star..." He purred. "Why don't you tell me about. I'm going to find out, anyway."

Mabel glared slightly before she breathed.

"My boyfriend left me..." She said, quietly. "The second boyfriend to do this..."

"You were dumped twice!" Bill asked, surprised.

"Yup..." Mabel said, numbly.

"Twice!? You were dumped twice!? I mean people get dumped all the time... but you?! They just ditched you?!" The blonde demon laughed thinking Mabel's depression was the funniest thing in the world.

Mabel slapped him again.

"I'm glad you think my heartbreak is funny!" She growled.

Bill wiped a tear from his eye.

"I'm sorry, Shooting Star... I think I over excited myself." He calmed himself down, looking down at her.

"Look perhaps I can help you find a man..."

"You!?" Mabel cried, incredulously. "You find me a man?! You're incapable of even loving anyone!"

"Rude! Come on... The past is the past... Why don't you give me chance... I always was quite fond of you and Pine Tree and would like to help... Consider it the perfect gift for your twenty first birthday."

Mabel looked at the ground. She was down on our luck lately, maybe she would be pleasantly surprised.

"No tricks okay...?" She pleaded.

Bill grinned.

"I promise to be good." He said, crossing his fingers behind his back.

"Well... How do we start?"

Bill stood up before walking to her closest.

"We need to get a new outfit to wear."

"What's wrong with what I'm wearing?" Mabel asked, looking at her teal sweater with a baby duckling and some purple and pink galaxy leggings.

"No offence but your sweaters are kind of a big eye sore. We need to get you something more classy to wear."

Bill opened the closet to be greeted with more of her sweaters along with bright puffy skirts along with different kinds of fashion leggings.

"We have so much work to do..." Bill sighed, trying to adjust to the glitter.

He snapped his fingers and they two were at the mall with everything back in the color.

"Wait... How are you here in the real world?" Mabel asked.

Bill put a gloved hand up.

"Don't sweat the small things, Shooting Star." He smiled. "Now we focus on clothes."

The demon dragged her to a clothing store that seemed on the higher end.

"Can't I go to Forever 21?" She asked.

Bill gripped her hand, tighter.

"This place is better."

Mabel allowed herself to be led through the store as she saw things from dresses to jeans to heels and sneakers.

Some young women her age started pointing at her current and laugh.

Maybe her clothes weren't as charming as they used to be.

She felt herself come to a stop when she noticed a rack of form fitting sweaters that were made from fine wool and cool solid colors.

Mabel smiled a little. They weren't her sweaters, but they were pretty. She plucked all the colors she could off the rack. She walked around the store and found some well made leggings in many different colors and picked the ones that would match her sweaters.

"This better?" She asked.

Bill tapped his chin.

"It's a start." He stated quietly.

They continued walking around looking at shoes and dresses before the demon stopped when he saw the long snow white form fitting dress that was hanging on the hanger. Made from expensive silk with sleeves from trimmed white lace.

Bill plucked it and held it towards the young woman.

"This would look lovely on you... It would be perfect for your birthday..." He spoke in a hushed voice.

"I don't know... It looks so expensive..." Mabel said, looking down.

"Go try it on..." He ordered taking the clothes from her arms.

Mabel only nodded before she went into the dressing room.

She slid the dress on and stared at herself in the mirror.

The dress hung tightly to her petite form, hugging her tiny curves beautifully; but she still didn't feel like herself in this dress.

She exited the room to show the demon the dress.

The saleswoman who was also in there stood in awe.

"Oh that's lovely... I would buy that dress." She said.

Bill looked at her intently.

"Don't you look lovely..." He purred. "You going to get it?"

Mabel blushed a little and only nodded before taking it off and delicately putting it back on the hanger.

She put her clothes back on and then took everything to counter to have it all rung up. She was wondering how she was going to pay for all of it when she saw Bill hand the cashier numerous hundred dollar bills.

"Where did you get all that?" She asked.

"I'm a demon... Money is not an issue for me."

The cashier handed Mabel bags of the clothes while also handing her the dress in a plastic slip.

They walked back out into the mall before Mabel gained the courage to ask...

"So are you going to set me up with someone?" She asked.

Bill looked around before he spoke.

"Yes of course."

"Um... When...?" She asked.

"Tonight for your birthday."

"But my birthday is tomorrow..." Mabel protested.

"Tonight would be most fitting..." The demon only said.

Mabel only smiled and nodded.

The young woman found herself being spoiled more than she would have thought. Besides the new clothes, Bill had even paid for her to get her hair and nails done. While it felt nice to get herself pampered, it felt odd that Bill was doing this... The same psychopath dream demon that had caused many problems for her and her family when she was younger; but he claimed he could help her find and a man and was willing to trust him.

She went home to get ready for her blind date when her brother noticed the bags in her arms.

"Where were you?" He asked.

"I went shopping..." Mabel said quietly.

Dipper looked at the bags name.

"Mabel that store is expensive... Where did you get the money?"

"I saved a little extra."

"And you got your hair and nails done?" He asked.

"Yeah why?" Mabel asked, looking down at her now dark magenta nails.

"Nothing... You okay?" He asked.

"Yup..." Mabel lied.

"You wanna do something for our birthday tomorrow?" He asked.

"Sure..."

Dipper pulled off his sweatshirt.

"Bye..."

Mabel took her things up to her room as she looked in the mirror.

Perhaps this would be the charm, maybe Bill would find a man for her.

She fixed up her make up and put the dress on. Seeing she looked fresh she walked downstairs to see her mother cooking dinner.

"Where are you going dressed like that?" She asked.

"To dinner."

"With who...?"

"A blind date..." Mabel sighed.

"Mabel I don't want you to rush into another relationship because of loneliness... Why don't you take some time for yourself?"

"But..." Mabel looked out the window. "I've got to go..."

She left before her mother could say another word.

Mabel drove herself to the restaurant that Bill instructed her to meet the supposed guy.

She parked her car and walked into the restaurant towards the host.

"I'm here to meet someone."

The host grinned.

"Of course right this way."

The young man guided her to a small table for two with a white cloth and roses in the center.

He handed her a menu.

"Your gentleman shall be with you soon."

Mabel opened the menu and started to scan the dishes while she kept her other eye out to see when the man would come to join her.

"Any minute..." She thought.

An hour had passed and her date was still nowhere to be seen. Mabel looked around feeling somewhat cheap that was left waiting for someone that most likely wasn't coming; or the fact that Bill set her up for humiliation. Almost to the point that she would order something really expensive and leave the demon to pay for it.

Mabel sipped her water refusing to look up.

She was just about to get up and go home when she noticed that waiter guiding someone to her table.

Someone tall... Someone well dressed... Someone blonde...? And an eye patch over his right eye...?

Mabel's mouth dropped open.

She was going on a date with Bill Cipher?

"Your date has arrived." The host smiled. He walked away.

Bill sat down grinning ear to ear.

"Sorry I'm late, dear. But I have a knack for being fashionably late."

"Um... Where's the other guy?" She asked, still trying to process what the hell was going on."

Bill waved his gloved hand.

"Hi! My name is Bill!"

"Shut up!" Mabel glared. "Has anyone ever told you that your messed in the head?!"

"Maybe a little!" The demon giggled.

"Why are you doing this?!" She demanded. "Is this some kind of game with you?!"

"Really, Shooting Star? Is that how you feel? After I took you on a shopping spree?"

"Well... That was sweet... But I still can't trust anything that comes out of your mouth."

Bill grabbed her manicured hand and held it.

"Come on Shooting Star... I'm here now; so why don't we make the most of it." He purred softly.

The young woman was tempted to leave, but seeing she had nothing else to do decided to stay and see what was going to happen.

Dinner was very quiet as Mabel did not want to say anything. Not that anything was wrong but being with the demon felt surreal and sinister to her, but she also had to admit she liked the company. Dipper was her best friend; but he had his own girlfriend and own life to lead. Even if it was with Bill, she didn't feel lonely on her birthday.

Once they were done with dinner, the two went back to the house. Mabel snuck the demon into the house just in case Dipper was around. If he saw the demon, he wouldn't be happy.

The two sat in the darkness of her room as they waited for midnight to mark her 21st birthday. Mabel felt content for the first time in weeks, perhaps maybe she could make things work with Bill.

But she had to know a few things.

"Bill...?" She asked.

"Hmm?" He hummed.

"Are you... Going to you know still do your thing with your plans again?"

"Most likely." He grinned unfazed.

"Bill...?"

"Yes...?"

"Would you do anything to hurt Dipper?"

"If he continues to get in my way..."

"Bill...?"

"What...?"

"Would you do anything to hurt me?"

"You don't have to worry about that..." He purred, holding her in his arms. "I'll give you everything your heart desires."

"You would do all that for me?" She asked.

The clock struck midnight as he pulled her in for a kiss, stroking her hair.

"At your service..." He whispered.
