Chapter 1
Year 2013
The day started normally, well as normal as a day can start in Piedmont, California can start. Summer had just started and that only meant one thing: visiting family. Or so that is what twins Dipper and Mabel Pines suggested to their parents. To which Mr. and Mrs. Pines reluctantly agreed to. They had heard about what had happened at the end of last summer, but with some shaky reassurance from Dipper, they relented and allowed the twins to spend another summer with their great-uncles.
Which led to Mabel excitedly talking Dipper's ear off about all the "exciting" things she was going to do with her friends, Candy and Grenda (and maybe Pacifica). As they boarded the bus for Gravity Falls, Dipper could feel as though someone was watching them But the feeling quickly passed as the bus rumbled to life and started down the highway.
Hours later, the sight of towering redwoods filled the twins with familiarity and nostalgia. Soon, as the twins knew it, the sight of the old Mystery Shack came into view. Standing out in front of the shack, holding a "Welcome Home" sign, were their friends, Soos and Wendy, and the twins great-uncle, Stan. Upon seeing them, Mabel began jumped up in excitement. Dipper covered his ears as his sister's squeals got louder.
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" The young girl squealed.
"Mabel, you are beginning to squeal in frequencies only dogs can hear." Dipper scolded, but as he knew it was a good thing to have his sister so happy.
Shaking his head gently as the bus came to a stop, the young boy gathered up his things and began his exit off of the vehicle. With a smile, Dipper greeted his friends.
"Long time, guys." The male twin said, his smile beginning to widen. "How have you...oof!"
"SOOS! WENDY! GRUNKLE STAN! WE'RE BACK!" Mabel cried out, pushing her twin out of the way.
"Hey dudes.", "Sup, guys." , "Kids, it is good to see you." were all mixed into a single greeting aimed at both twins.
Despite being pushed into the mud, Dipper found that his smile was still on his face. For the first time in a long time, he felt like he was home.
"Enjoy it while it lasts..."
The threat came as a whisper, so quiet and quick, Dipper had no time to try and find its source. Trying to focus on something else, he turned to his grunkle Stan.
"How is Grunkle Ford?" Dipper asked, curiostiy filling his eyes.
"Eh, the same as usual, kid." Stan replied. "A pointdexter and all that. He locked himself in his lab ever since the end of last summer. Blames himself for what that insane pyramid caused."
Dipper nodded silently, as the memories came flooding back to him.
"It wasn't his fault, Grunkle Stan." Dipper replied, watching as Mabel played with her pet pig, Waddles. "We had..."
Stan cut the young teen off.
"We know kid," he said. "Ford should of never tried to make you chose between him and your sister."
Dipper became silent once more, wishing he could go back in time and stop the Weirdmaggedon from happening.
"Be careful what you wish for..."
There it was again, the whispering voice. Dipper felt like he should know it, but the source kept escaping his grasp.
"Grunkle Stan, I..."
"Here is an idea kid, how about we head into town and grab a bite to eat. My treat." The older gentleman said, interrupting, Dipper's statement.
The 13 year old smiled and nodded, knowing that he could talk to Stan, or Ford, about his fears later. After all, dinner sounded fantastic.
"I'll go and get Mabel." Dipper replied.
"And I'll tell Ford." Stan said as he entered the shack and Dipper ran off to find his twin.
It took a moment, but Dipper found Mabel near the border of the woods. She seemed to be looking at something.
"What are you looking at?" Dipper asked, concern filling his voice.
"I don't know, bro bro." Mabel answered. "Something caught my eye, but it is gone now, I think."
Dipper nodded.
"Well Grunkle Stan said that he was treating us to dinner in town, so let's get ready." He said, reaching out to pull his sister away from whatever was trying to lure her away.
Mabel allowed her twin to pull her to him, when suddenly the sky flashed a bright blue and all the color seemed to seep out of their surroundjngs. Mabel looked at her brother in fear.
"Dipper! What is happening?!" She cried, her fear evident. "I thought he was gone!"
"Think again, Shooting Star!" said the voice that haunted the darkest parts of the twins' dreams.
"Bill." Dipper growled, glaring at the triangle forming in the sky.
"Aww, did you miss me, Pine Tree?" The triangle said, opening a lone eye. "Because I MISSED YOU!"
Glowing red, the dream demon confronted the twins.
"After all, we haven't seen each other in such a long time," Bill replied. "Ya know, since you stopped my plans!"
"Dipper, do something," Mabel cried, afraid of what the creature known as Bill Cipher would to do them.
"Bill! You have no power here! We beat you!" The male Pines twin answered, glaring at the one eyed triangle floating in front of them.
"That is where you are wrong, Pine Tree!" Bill replied, blue flames gathering around his form. "You may of 'defeated' me, but you did not stop my plans!"
Dipper was silent, holding on tightly to Mabel. Bill began to unleash his flames, covering the gray sky in a blue glow.
"And now you have run out of 'time'!" He said, raising his hand. "Now, sleep!"
With a snap, both twins' eyes closed. Bill began his spell to be rid of the younger Pines forever. He believed he had won as the Portal surrounded them. No one would be able to save them.
