"Welcome to a possible addon to the Dimensional saga story, first K-T , this chapter is a one-shot that might lead to more if it goes well with you Readers, also if anyone is wondering, this chapter takes place during sock opera." TME said while he walked to the mystery shack before looking up to the attic.
"Now then...After beating bill cipher from his grunkle's dreams with his friends help and later gaining a laptop of possible answers to gravity falls, Dipper made a deal with bill cipher to unlock the password, however unlike in the show, bill was more then cautious of Dipper and his friends sense they foiled his previous plan, to be more exact, of Dipper sense he was the one who had the most brains when his head was collected and wanted to make sure Dipper was out of his way which leads us to the beginning of this story, this story will make alot more sense as is go along." TME said while he leaned against a tree to watch what happens next while the camera panned to the mystery shack attic.
Mystery shack/ attic
Dipper was trying to figure out the password of the laptop he acquired from the old bunker after fending off that unnerving shapeshifter with the help of Soos, Mabel, and Wendy, however it was locked behind a password that thew him for various loops.
One of them being Bill cipher who tried to mess with his grunkles mind who appeared again when he passed out on the roof of the mystery shack after trying to get through the laptops security after...possibly a hundred attempts.
Bill cipher wanted to make a deal with Dipper but Dipper didn't trust the floating golden triangle for even a second before the two talked a little more before Dipper awoke the next day which leads to our current situation.
After trying to access the laptop for day without a single break, the laptop activated a security measure that if the password wasn't inputted in the next five minutes in a singe try the data would be completely erased.
"No,no,no,no,no, I'm gonna lose everything!?, I only have one more try!?" Dipper said in shock before things got worse when Bill cipher appeared after making the room grey in color.
"Well, well, well, someone's looking desperate." Bill said with his voice causing a slight echo. "Thought I told you to leave me alone!" Dipper said in with growing irritation.
"I can help ya kid, you just need to hear out my demands." Bill said while summoning his cane while dipper looked at the clock that was counting down even as they spoke before Dipper turned to Bill.
"Ugh, what crazy thing do you want anyway?, to eat my soul, to rip out my teeth, are you gonna replace my eyes with baby heads or something!?" Dipper said before bill held his arms up in a attempt to calm the kid down.
"Yesh kid relax, all I want is a puppet." Bill said which confused Dipper before he spoke up with caution.
"A puppet?, what are you playing at?" Dipper asked while Bill was already thinking of a fail-safe if this plan failed. (see what I did there?, also just like Yuna's unexpected encounter I'm going word for word up until certain points.)
"Everyone loves puppets, and it seems to me you got a surplus." Bill said while leaning back in the air while he used his powers to highlight the puppet pile in the attic.
"Ahhh...I don't know man, Mabel worked really hard on these." Dipper explained while Bill poked a puppet.
"Seems to me one puppet is a small price to pay to learn all the secrets of the universe." Bill said before floating over to Dipper.
"Besides, whats your sister done for you lately?, how many times have you sacrificed for her huh?, and what has she ever returned the favor?" Bill said before an Idea hit him while Dipper looked out of the window before looking to the laptop that had 30 second left on the timer.
"Tic toc kid." Bill said while holding his hand out to Dipper before it burned with a blue flame, one difference was that there was a triangle like pattern on the palm of Bill's hand for the first step of the fail-safe in case this plan fails.
"Ah, just one puppet?, fine!" Dipper said before shaking the demonic triangle's hand. "So what puppet are you gonna pick anyway?" Dipper asked before he got a surprising answer from the triangle.
"Hmm, Let's see... enny, meany, miny, YOU!" Bill said which started the incident at the opera house before the scene shifted to when Dipper gets his body back but before Bill possesses the sock puppet.
Opera house/ destroyed set
When Dipper saw that his body collapsed, he flew back in while Bill was knocked out of it before standing back up in his normal, slightly damaged but normal body.
"Wha?, ha!, YES!, I'm in my own body!, and it's...just as underwhelming as I remember, Ooohh, everything hurts." Dipper said happily before deflating a bit when he felt the pain his body received before hearing demonic laughter that echoed around Dipper and Mabel before looking back to see that the Dipper puppet that landed on the fireworks was possessed by Bill. (here's the difference.)
"This isn't the last you'll hear from me, especially you Dipper!" Bill said which confused Dipper and Mabel before the puppet spoke up again while the audience just sat there in confusion sense the stuff happening on stage was so different compared to earlier.
"What do you mean?" Dipper asked before the puppet started to chuckle again which creeped out the pine twins.
"Simple, take a look at your right palm." Bill said before Dipper looked at his hand to be shocked beyond belief when he saw intricate symbols on the palm of his hand which looked a lot like the summoning circle for Bill cipher while Mabel saw the symbols before getting extreamly angry.
"What did you do to my brother you psycho!?" Mabel growled out which surprised both Bill and Dipper sense Mabel was normally a cheery bubbly girl before Bill decided to mess with Mabel for a moment.
"Consider it a fail-safe sense this plan failed, and before you get any ideas, anything short of removing Dippers hand won't remove that mark, then again it would be interesting to see you two try and get rid of it." Bill said before he started to chuckle before full blown laughing which, well lets just say that furious was not even close to what Mabel was feeling at the moment before she took the remote for the fireworks and pressed it which caused Bill to look down before the fireworks went off which caused the entire show to go up in flames while the puppet guy, (I for the life of me cannot remember what his name was), looked on in horror.
The scene then shift to the mystery shack after taking Dipper to the gravity falls doctor to get Dipper's body checked for injuries.
Mystery shack/ nighttime/ the pine twins room
Dipper found out that Bill did no real damage to his body despite the beatings it took from the deal earlier, though he would have a few cuts and bruises but they would heal up fine.
The real issue was the symbol on Dippers right hand, it confused the hell out of Dipper and Mabel, Dipper managed to convince Mabel to keep it a secret from everyone else sense the only ones who might believe them are Soos and Wendy, but how could they help in this situation.
*Sigh*
Dipper sighed when he realized that unless he could find someone better then Soos to repair the laptop, the data would be out of his reach, not only that but the symbol on his hand was a mystery as well.
Dipper picked up the pieced of the laptop carefully before placing them under his bed before laying down sense he was up for more then 20 hours while fighting off an inter-dimensional demon as a sock puppet and that was more then exhausting.
Mabel left the room to use the restroom after telling Dipper good night and after she left the room Dipper fell asleep shortly after sense Mabel wouldn't keep him up by playing with Waddles for a bit.
However this dream was different compared to the rest.
Dipper's mind
Dipper opened his eyes before he noticed that he was floating around some kind of blue void before the images changed to see that he was in front of the mystery shack with Mabel, grunkle Stan, Wendy, and Soos right before they opened the Mystery shack, however the kicker was that Dipper was looking at another Dipper who walked into the shack with others while he stayed outside which confused him before he heard a voice that made his blood run cold.
"I gotta say, you have a lot of dreams about this Wendy woman, gotta say though, give her a few more years and she could be a real knockout." Bills said while he leaned against a tree while looking into a few doors and Windows that showed the various memories about Wendy while Dipper just stood there in shock before anger rose in his body before a blue glow enveloped his body sense he remember what to do.
Bill cipher looked up before making the doors and windows return to their original positions before Dipper floated above Bill.
"What do you want Bill?, last time I checked you got evicted from my body." Dipper said while Bill shrugged before he floated up to Dipper's height.
"True, but remember, I'm a Demon that can go into peoples dreams remember, I gotta say my last possession must'ave lowered your I.Q. or something if you forgot that." Bill said which not only ticked off Dipper but confused him greatly sense he figured that Bill might be here for revenge, then again Bill can be tricky.
"What are you here for then Bill?" Dipper asked which made the Demonic pyramid look to Dipper before pointing to his right hand.
"Remember what I said last time, that symbol is my fail-safe, I was debating whither to use it or not sense it can work both ways." Bill said with a knowing look while Dipper looked at his palm in confusion.
"Just get to the point Bill!, what does this do!?" Dipper asked with building anger while showing the symbol to Bill who started to chuckle which further unnerved Dipper before he took a deep breath to calm down before he did something stupid again.
"I'm glad you asked kid, sense you foiled my plans more then once you could say that I am taking precautions, however I can only do so much on my end, consider this a true deal, not like last time." Bill said which confused Dipper greatly before anger rose again.
"And what makes you think I'll agree to any deal you make!?" Dipper said in anger while Bill kept calm.
"Hear me out at least, unlike last time I had all of the cards so I could make the terms, however we are now both even, for example, if you wanna know how to defend yourself from the creatures of gravity falls I can teach you, however I can ask for something in return and then negotiate from there." Bill explained while he thought of a few things he that could work to his advantage while Dipper gave Bill a serious look.
"How do I know you won't try anything like last time?, we had a deal that if I gave you a puppet you would unlock the computer for me, instead you took my body and smashed the computer, kinda makes me doubt the whole deal thing you do if I get the bad end of a deal." Dipper explained while Bill replied sense he thought something like that might happen.
"Alright, alright, how about this, to prove what mean I'll do this, if you accept what I offer, I can copy the basic abilities that I can use on to you, all I have to is make a condition for the symbol to activate, if the deal doesn't work then I just change the condition till we both agree." Bill explained while Dipper's eyes widened at what he was told, if what he heard was true then he could use Bill's abilities without any hassle, however this was Bill cipher, the dealing demon so he took a moment to think while Bill waited for a few minutes before Dipper looked to him.
"Alright, I'll give the symbol thing a shot, however on three conditions if possible." Dipper said which got Bill's attention.
"What?" Bill asked with intrigue sense he could use those conditions to his advantage.
"First, and I'm not budging on this, keep away from my family!, you already tried to mess with my grunkle's mind and destroyed my sisters play, people might call me naive, but I learn from my mistakes." Dipper explained while Bill just shrugged.
"Alright then, fire away kid." Bill said before Dipper grinned before he spoke up while the symbol on his hand gave a gold glow.
"Alright...If your giving the first one for free then here, my condition, you can't hurt my family in any way, shape, or form, if you do then you can't restrict me in any way, shape, or form from trying to protect them." Dipper said which made Bill think for a moment before having an Idea.
"Alright, what's two?, unlike the last one which was a freeby, this one I can make a deal with." Bill asked which made Dipper grin before he spoke up again.
"Simple, you can't destroy or do anything to my journal, or to put in simple terms, my journal is off limits to whatever you do." Dipper said which irritated Bill a little before he calmed down when he had an idea.
"Alright pinetree, your journal is off limits, however in return, I want one hour of complete control of your body, I'll even make it so I can't do anything to harm your body, last time felt awful when your body shut down on me, I don't want that happening to me again." Bill said while Dipper thought of the pros and cons.
"Hmmm depends, will you try anything evil to the townsfolk?" Dipper asked while Bill gave Dipper a calculating look.
"Depend if they mess with me, I won't look for trouble with the human, however if they come looking for me...well...let's just say that they will have a bad time." Bill said which got a point across to Dipper who frowned.
"Alright then, the final condition, and Bill..."Dipper said which confused Bill for a moment before Dipper got in front of Bill which started Bill a bit before Dipper spoke up.
"If you break this condition, consider all of our deals broken except that I keep these abilities you give me and you get kicked out from my body permanently." Dipper said which made Bill glare at Dipper before he spoke up.
"Depends...what's the deal?" Bill asked before Dipper leaned back in the air before speaking up.
"Simple, Wendy is off limits in any way shape or form as well, if you saw my memories you should know that we're just friends now, if I want to add anyone we can debate of conditions later." Dipper explained while Bill though about that before he though a few ways this could work.
"Alright kid, Wendy is off limits, if you wanna add more we can talk about that later, for me in exchange...hmmm...,Ah, how about this, if I want to I can use your 5 senses at any time I want to if I get bored and need a time waster, within reason before you ask." Bill said before holding his hand out to Dipper while the symbol glowed brightly before Dipper took a moment to think before he reached for Bill's hand.
"Alright Bill, you have a deal, If I have anything else to ask I'll call you." Dipper said before he shook Bill's hand before a golden glow shined through the dream field before Dipper awoke.
Reality
"*GASP!*...huff...huff..." Dipper gasped out before looking around the room to see that it was nearing morning if the clock was running right before he got up from the bed.
He noticed that Mabel was asleep on her bed with waddles however Mable was upside down on the bed while her sock puppet was turned around to face away from Mabel's bed.
"Can't blame her for that." Dipper thought before he walked to the bathroom to do his business for a few minutes before walking to the sink to wash his hands.
While Dipper washed his hands he noticed Bill's symbol and paled a bit before looking into the mirror.
He saw his own image which made him relax while he looked away before looking back to get the shock of the lifetime.
"GAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Dipper shouted in fright when he saw that Bill cipher was floating where his reflection was while the scene faded to black.
"GAAAAAAHHHHH!" TME heard Dipper yell before he walked away from the mystery shack before talking to the readers.
"There you have it people, consider this the first or only chapter of Bill's fail-safe, if I manage to catch up with The Dimensional saga I'll write this a whole lot better but I stayed up all night writing this so my mind was running on fumes so sorry if you think that this isn't my best work." TME said before he tipped his head to the readers while he walked away from the building while the scene faded to black.
