Chapter 1: Run

He had done it! He had ran, the back door had been open for a split second and the chains loose in his Masters hand, so he ran, and he didn't look back.

His heart pounding, his lungs aching, the yells of the Gleefuls behind him, there was a loud bang and the tree beside him exploded into blue flames, he covered his head as he ran, protecting himself from flying pieces of wood.

He looked back with fear, sweat pouring down his face, he ran faster, they still were after him! The grass crunched under his feet, dust and leaves kicked up as he sprinted through the forest. His unnaturally skinny body was already so exhausted and he did everything he could to not sink into the temptation of stopping and resting.

A flash of light up ahead startled him, a portal opened, and he was sucked through before he could move out of the way, he screamed as he fell.

Mabel and Dipper made there way through the forest, there third summer here had started out okay, they had a small party, talked for hours.

As they walked Dipper wrote down his first few days in his journal, Mabel skipped ahead picking flowers and weaving them into a flower crown, she placed it on Dipper worn out hat and grinned.

There was a loud scream from afar and a flash of light, the twins looked up from there activity, "What was that!?" Dipper said closing his journal,

"Not sure lets go look!" Mabel said, before Dipper could grab her arm, she took off.

They came to the source of the noise, a fancy dressed teenager about the same age as them struggled to pick himself up. Dippers eyes widened as he took note of the floating top hat "Bill?"

The teen looked up, pure fear in his eyes, he got to his feet and took off "WAIT!" Dipper cried, but the teen was gone "Come on Mabel lets go tell Grunkle Ford"

Mabel nodded and they headed back.

Will stumbled into a cave and sank to his knees, he burst into tears and whimpers, curling up around himself.

He was scared, alone and those teens he had seen looked like his Master and Mistress, what had they been doing here? The portal had shut as soon as he fell into it, they couldn't of gotten through. He closed his blue eyes and fell in to an uneasy sleep.

Ford followed the twins to the site "He had a floating top hat like Bill, he was human and this guy was blue, like he had blue hair, blue outfit, he looked scared of us, the top hat reminded me of Bill so we came to get you, he ran that way" Dipper said pointing to the direction of the cave Will had made his home.

Ford nodded "From what your describing its not Bill, but another version of him, Bill had a human form, but not a physical human form like the one that you saw, the multiverse has many versions of Bill, not all are dangerous thank goodness"

Ford and the twins made there way carefully and quietly to the cave, the blue figure huddled inside was asleep, twitching, Ford took out his gun aiming it at the blue teen "Dipper wake him up"

Dipper nodded and threw a small rock at the figure, it hit him on the leg.

Will woke with a start and stared fearfully up at the people, "P-Please d-don't, hurt m-me!" he trembled, closing his eyes tightly and putting a hand in front of his face, readying himself for the pain. But it didn't come. He opened his eyes and flinched when he saw the six fingered hand being offered,

"I'm not going to hurt you, whats your name?"

"Will, Will C-Cipher, Sir" he squeaked,

"Its nice to meet you Will, my names Stanford Pines, this here is my Great Nephew Dipper Pines and Great Niece Mabel Pines"

Will blinked "Pines?" Not Gleefuls!?

Ford nodded, Will visibly relaxed,

Ford smiled "Now how about you come back to the shack, and tell us what your doing in this dimension"

Will nodded and took the hand, Ford pulled him to his feet.
