Dipper jerked awake, sitting on his bed, surrounded by papers, and holding journal number 3; journal's 1 and 2 beside him. "I really need to stop doing this to myself." He mumbled rubbing his eyes, he'd just been studying the slight differences in each book, and had fallen asleep sitting up. "Ow ow ow..." He groaned, cracking his back, and getting out of the bed.
Looking over at the calendar, he itched the top of his head, it wasn't like he'd been paying attention to the date all summer, he was sure the summer had to be almost over; but the calendar date showed he still had two weeks left of summer. Chalking it up to all the crazy stuff he's been through messing up his perception of time, he shrugged, and went downstairs to get some dinner.
Mabel was sitting at the table with Grunkle Stan and Waddles, feeding Waddles bacon. "Here you go Waddles! Nice yummy bacon for you!"
"Woah! Mabel what are you doing! You can't feed a pig bacon! That's cannibalism!" Dipper yelled in shock, his eyes wide.
"Let her feed the pig whatever she wants, maybe we can fatten him up, and bill him as the Cannibal Pig." Stan laughed.
Dipper put a hand to his head, getting a headache. "It's cool bro bro, Waddles looooves bacon." Mabel said cheerfully, Waddles squealing as bacon was shoved into his mouth. "Cannibalism isn't bad for animals."
"Yeah it is." Dipper said, looking at the backs of Stan and Mabel's heads. "And why are you guys eating breakfast for dinner?"
"Why not have breakfast for dinner? Eggs and bacon should be enjoyed for every meal." Stan said, laughing, grabbing his drink, and tilting his head back slightly to pour it into his mouth.
"You guys are acting really weird..." Dipper said.
There was a weird noise, Mabel turning to look at Dipper with a big smile. "We're not acting weird! You must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed, silly head!" She got up and startled to tickle Dipper.
"Ah! No! Hahaha! Stop it!" Dipper laughed squirming.
"There we go, all smiles!" Mabel patted Dipper on the head. "Lets eat and watch some hu-cartoons." It sounded like Mabel was going to say something else, but she stopped herself.
Dipper sat down starting to eat, the bacon tasted like eggs and the eggs tasted like bacon, causing him to drop his fork. "What the hell is going on, is this some kind of journal related thing?" He asked, making a face.
"Everything is alright, everything is normal." Mabel, Stan, and Waddles said.
Dipper jumped up. "Okay, that definitely proves this isn't right." He picked up a fork and pointed it at them. "Where is my real family!"
Mabel looked sad, frowning. "Dipper, we are your real family...put down the fork, maybe you need to-dammit-go back to sleep, everything will be alright with a goodnight sleep." Her voice had changed for a moment, when she'd said dammit.
"Who are you..." Dipper backed away from them, Stan and Mabel both looking upset. "Why do you want me to go back to sleep?!" He demanded, fork still pointed at them.
"You have to sleep, everything will be normal in the morning, and we can continue to have fun together!" Mabel said, smiling. "We have a whole summer for adventures and uncovering seeecrets."
"You are not my sister!" Dipper yelled, throwing his fork at her, and watching it pass right through. "You aren't even here! None of this is real!"
"Please Dipper, go back to bed!" Mabel pleaded, her face vanishing.
Dipper screamed, running out of the Mystery Shack, and into the forest. He could hear Stan and Mabel yelling for him to come back. He could hear a voice in his head, but couldn't make out what it was saying, it was too distorted. Falling to his knees, Dipper gripped the grass, heart racing. "There is only one creature that could do this to me...BILL! Why are you doing this!" He called out, looking at the sky as it began to rain.
In a soft, gentle voice, Bill spoke. "Stay asleep Pine Tree, don't wake up, everything is going to be alright. Don't open your eyes..."
"Like I'm going to listen to anything you say!" Dipper snapped. "Why are you trying to keep me asleep, did you take over my body again!?"
"Just trust me, this once, continue to sleep." Bill said, sounding like his voice was cracking.
"No!" Dipper yelled, his eyes popping open, and he noticed he was inside a large, pink, glowing ball. "What is this...Woah, what is with my voice..." He noticed that his voice was deeper, he looked down, noticing that he was naked, and definitely not a twelve year old boy. "How am I an adult...Bill! What did you do?!"
Bill entered the ball, floating, and his eye looking away from Dipper. "Why couldn't you just go back to sleep, now that you broke through, I can't use that spell again."
Dipper stood up. "That isn't answering me. I want to know what you did to me! Why am I older?!" He was in full panic mode, shaking, and his heart racing.
"Things didn't go as expected, even with all the knowledge I have...Something went wrong, a lot of things went wrong kid..." Bill said, holding his cane tightly. "I tried to stop it..." He snapped his fingers, the ball vanished, and they were in a cave. "...I really didn't want this to happen. It isn't as fun as I thought it would be. Gravity Falls is-" The demon vanished as Dipper came out of the Mindscape.
Dipper walked toward the exit of the cave. He let out a loud scream, falling to his knees, his eyes wide. The scene before him was a forest that had long since burned down, craters were all around, and the sky was red with black clouds. "Gravity Falls is...gone..." He said to himself, his shoulders slumping.
