Hey my comets! So, I was reading some BillDip drabbles and I came upon this prompt: "How about an apocalypse when the twins were just born. Eldritch!Bill finds an abandoned baby is Dipper. Bill decided to keep as a pet because of some strange way Dipper is a very adorable baby. It may be platonic and then become romantic. Now imagine if Bill would be proud of a slight dark Dipper." Just to let you know, I have no idea from whence this idea came but I like it... most of it anyways... The person who wrote the drabble said that he/she would like it if someone made a story for it…I think you all know what I'm thinking. I take no credit for the original idea, I am only writing something that I think would be very interesting (I am mostly going off the prompt but I will change a bunch of this to fit my desires for where the story goes). Go check out Lanx Borealis's BillDip drabbles for his/her idea on how the beginning should have gone. Anyways, here's the story!
A woman ran through the empty streets of Gravity Falls, hiding from the suffocating darkness of Weirdmaggedon. In her arms were two children, babies really, one with the sky on his head while the other had stars on her wrists. The woman ducked behind one of the abandoned buildings to avoid becoming stone for The Overlord's ever growing throne. Tears streaked down her dirt covered face as she lay the children in a dumpster, hiding them under the piles of trash to protect them from the outside world. The boy with the night stars on his head blinked at the woman with wide eyes, begging her to reconsider what she was doing. The girl with the comets on her wrists let out a small whimper and reached for the woman.
"Hush now, or you'll bring the eye-bats. I don't want to do this, but…" The woman was unable to contain her sobs anymore. The two babes looked at the woman in sadness, incapable of comforting her. The woman wiped her eyes and turned to leave, then stopped. She turned around once more to the children to take off two necklaces. One had a blue pine tree for the charm, glowing softly with a calming blue light once she clasped it around the boy's neck. The other was a golden shooting star with a rainbow trail coming out of it that glowed a cheerful pink as she hooked it over the girl's neck to lay on her chest.
"If you survive somehow, know that I will always love you. If someone takes you in, know that I did this so that you could live. I couldn't bear it if you died in the resistance with me, at least this way you have a shot of someone finding you." With that, the woman turned and left, leaving the two children in the trash pile with no way to go to her. The girl let out a wail of anguish at the loss of the woman, the boy staying silent while tears played with his vision. Suddenly, some of the trash fell on him, coating him in the smelly refuse. A man's head poked over the edge of the dumpster, covered with graying stubble the man seemed to be around forty or so and wearing glasses looked even older. Atop his gray head sat a fez with a golden fish
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" The man remarked as he stuck his hands into the trash to remove the girl from the waste. The girl giggled a bit as the man lifted her out and tickled her a bit. "You're just a ray of sunshine arncha kid; I guess some mother needed to get rid of you to save her own sorry skin or something. I suppose that must mean that you'll be needing someone to take care of you, so I guess I'll just have to do that. I'm Stan, Stanley Pines, and you'll be needing a name other than 'kid'. How about, Mabel? My mother's name was Mabel, so I guess that would be fine. Come on Mabel, let's head over to Base, I'm sure that the rest of the resistance would be glad to meet you."
With that, the man turned and left, oblivious to the fact that he had left another child in the dumpster under the trash. Not a minute later than the man left did an eye-bat come searching for people to turn to stone, only to find a baby pulling itself out from under a garbage bag filled with papers and cardboard. It flapped it's wings and picked the child up with its tractor beam after turning it to stone.

The eye-bat flew into a giant pyramid in the sky, through several halls, and into a room where several demons were partying in front of a very large throne of humans turned into stone. On that throne sat a large golden triangle with a large eye in the center of him wearing a snappy bow tie and top hat. As the eye-bat flew to the throne to place the frozen child in it, the necklace glowed brightly, releasing the child from his stone prison and causing all the demons in the room to stop dancing to stare at the child.
The triangle looked to the child, "Well, well, well, what do we have here? Someone with a zodiac essence, I'll just be taking that now." The demon reached his black hand to the necklace hanging on the child's neck, only to be repelled by the light around it. "YOWCH! What is up with that thing? Pyronica, you try to get it!" The pink demoness laughed and flew up to the child, only to be repelled by the same light that had stopped the triangle. The triangular demon sent all, of his minions to do it but none of them were capable of getting close to the charm.
The triangle was red and black with fury by the time the last demon was blown back against the wall, "Okay, if I can't get that thing off him, maybe I can get him on my side. He seems to have the potential for magic, I could definitely use him to spread my weirdness." The triangle muttered as he used his telekinesis to bring the squirming baby in front of him. "Heya kid, my name's Bill, you're going to hang with us now, got it? Good, now guys! Go spread your weirdness a bit further, I think it's not affecting California as much as it was a few days ago." With that order, the demons flew off into the muddled sky.
Bill looked back to the child who was regarding the demon with intelligent eyes, "You need a name… how about Pine Tree? I wasn't really asking, your name is now Pine Tree. You're going to be hanging with the overlord of this universe now!"

Pine Tree awoke and sat up with a start, he had been having that dream for a while; not even Bill's powers could keep that dream out of his head, and that was saying something since the dream demon was all powerful. Pine Tree laid back down on his living-flesh bed and rubbed his face to calm himself. He lifted his necklace and popped it open to reveal two faces, one a girl who looked extremely similar to him and seemed to be the girl baby from his dream while the other was an older version of the grown woman from his dream. Pine Tree sighed, whoever those two were wouldn't matter soon, Bill was going to get to the bottom of the dreams that he was unable to stop. Pine Tree smiled softly, his foster father was amazing in every way, shape and form.

Mabel awoke and sat up with a start, that dream had plagued her mind ever since she was a baby. Grunkle Stan and Grunkle Ford couldn't figure out why she could remember what happened when she was young or why she could see what happened to the boy that the trio had decided was her twin brother. Mabel sighed and opened her necklace to reveal an image of a boy very similar to her in everything down to the joyful gleam in his eyes and an image of the woman from her dream except aged a bit. Mabel smiled as she looked at the images fondly, one day she would meet her twin and the woman who she speculated was her mother, and once she did she would never leave them again.
Wow, so feels overload here and overload of 'Whaaaaa?' feeling… I think this is heading somewhere good storywise, but plotwise? Not so much. Please review because reviews are like food for the writer's soul. Ciao for now!
Remember, reality is an illusion, the universe is a hologram, buy gold, bye!
