Story Notes:
Disclaimers: I do not own Gravity Falls
Author's Note's: So for all of you who don't know This is a series I posted on AO3 a long time ago and I decided to post it here too. A series my old AO3 fans may remember called Stories by Bill Cipher. Basically it's a BillDip series told from Bill's point of view with a few POV's from other characters of the series. it's like stepping into the mind of Bill Cipher, and not to brag but I think I play a pretty mean Bill!
Anyway thanks for reading, and please New readers let me know what you think of this series, and old readers be honest are you glad it's back? Where you beginning to wonder if I would ever post it? because to be honest I almost discarded this whole series but my fan Roxie said that was a crime! So here you go Roxie I posted it! But no honestly I love this story it just get's really, really dark later on and I know I've gone dark before, but this is like Sith Lord Dark, anyway I have babbled long enough on with the story.
Chapter 1: Loathing
~This Story takes place the summer after Weirdmageddon, when the twins are still thirteen ~
(Somewhere In A Dark Void…)
{Bill's POV}
Nothingness,
After all my hard work and all that I have accomplished I was left to be the king of nothingness!
I wonder aimlessly in this vast void for what felt like forever! Plotting, scheming I ran the scenario of my return over and over again, in my head everything…
EXCEPT FOR HOW TO GET OUT OF THIS DAMN PLACE!
And it was all their fault, those stupid Pines meddling in my business if it weren't for them then it would all still be mine!
But it wasn't mine, and they were all going to pay for that; oh yes they were! Of course that's if I get out of this place!
Whatever this place is? Where am I anyways?
Am I really lost in some forgotten memory in Shrine Hat's mind? Perhaps if he regained his memory I could reappear in Shrine Hat's head.
Then once I have enough energy I'll get out, return to my physical form and bam I'm back in business.
That is assuming Sixer hasn't found a way to destroy it yet. Yes, I had a plan!
Okay so it wasn't the greatest of plans, but come on give me a break people it's not like I really have any better options!
Anyways so I'm sitting in this void waiting for the day that will never come, when suddenly it does.
It was like someone had turned the light on or something, because suddenly there was light, and color, and doors, just like Shrine Hat's mind had been before. I waited expecting the enemy to force me out of Shrine Hat's mind and finish me off, but it would appear I had been forgotten!
So after waiting for what felt like forever, I risked it! I left Shrine Hat's mind.
And when I got out I found my current host curled up in a bed on some kind of boat. Sixer slept in a hammock swinging slightly beside him.
So they patched things up? Just my luck!
Of course I had no choice, but to stick around with these two, I was too weak to get back to Gravity Falls without fading away due to the lack of energy.
So I went back into Shrine Hat's mind feeding off a little of his energy a little bit at a time, getting stronger!
Slowly, but gradually!
And finally after what seemed like forever we left the ocean and returned to Gravity Falls. I watched eagerly through Shrine Hat's eyes as we docked the boat.
"Now Stanley the kid's will be here tonight, so I want us to unpack as soon as possible." Sixer was saying.
"I can't believe their parents are actually letting them come back." Shrine Hat said in amazement. "I mean afterall the stories they told."
"Yes well thank goodness that's all their parents thought they were, Stories!" Sixer laughed a little uneasily. "Hopefully this year is a little less crazy then last year."
"Yeah hopefully." Shrine Hat agreed.
"Oh I wouldn't count on it!" I chuckled to my self, feeling as giddy as a little school girl. Why you may ask?
Because all of my enemies were about to be together again, and I was finally strong enough to reach my physical form!
Finally everything was going my way again!
It didn't take long for the Stan twins to unpack, Question Mark was there with his new fiancé and to my surprise he had added several rooms to the shack.
So business is booming?
Hu? I had no idea Question Mark would make such a good business man, and apparently I wasn't the only one.
"Wow Soos I'm impress." Shrine Hat praised. "Now there's plenty of room for all of us!"
"Thanks Mr. Pines." Question Mark laughed.
"So when are the little dorks getting here." Stitch Heart asked.
"Robby don't start." Red gave him a light punch, but I was too busy noticing the thing on her head to care.
She was wearing Pine Tree's Hat!
And she was wearing it proudly like she had won the lottery or something! And I wasn't sure why, but that made me angry!
Strange I know, but anyways the two brats in question were due to arrive at any minute so the group decided to walk over to bus stop. The trip wasn't long, and we didn't have to wait much longer either.
The bus pulled in and the first one to step out was Shooting Star!
She didn't look that much different, just slightly taller and a few more inches of hair. She was wearing another one of her goofy sweaters; I mean honestly it's like 90 degrees out here, or something and she's in a wool sweater!
Moments later Pine Tree follows behind, and I swear I almost did a double take,
Why?
Well for starters the kid was finally taller than his sister, and not by a couple of centimeters either! He was a good head taller now, and his baby face had morphed into a more mature one with noticeable cheek bones and a strong jawline to match.
I couldn't believe my eyes…
Pine Tree had hit puberty a whole year early! And I wasn't the only one to notice…
"Wow dude who are you and what have you done to Dipper!" Red teased, taking the hat off of the kid's head and switched it back with his.
It was then that I noticed it!
The hat he had been wearing was her's…and she was wearing his!
They had worn each other's hats for the whole school year which is about 9 months…
'So what are they like soul mates now?' I asked myself bitterly.
Again I didn't know why I was angry by this, I mean sure I was intrigued by Pine Tree. After all the kid had picked up Sixer's journal and filled in the holes of his research with ease, and he was less than half the guy's age!
Yes I could feel it! Deep waters ran through this one, and I had this feeling inside of me that this kid had some real potential; potential that he still had yet to tap into completely.
"Dang kid I guess all those extra chores I made you do was worth it hu?" Shrine Hat joked. "I guess that makes you the alpha twin now."
"For now!" Shooting Star joked.
The Group laughed, but I didn't take my eyes off of the real threat!
'I'd best keep my eye on you.' I said to myself eying Pine Tree. 'After all I underestimated you last time and look where it got me!'
Oh yes I was fully aware of who the real threat was, and it was HIM!
Without Pine Tree, Shooting Star would have never gotten out! And they wouldn't have convinced the town to fight back. Sixer wouldn't have been saved, my true weakness wouldn't have been revealed!
The Stan twins wouldn't have tricked me!
AND I WOULD STILL BE THE KING OF THIS STUPID HICK TOWN!
Oh but they would all get what's coming to them!
Oh yes I was going to make them all pay starting with the one who started it all… PINE TREE!
Yes he would be the first to feel my wrath! But first I needed to visit my body.
So I entered the mindscape and left my host behind, no doubt to celebrate the return of his niece and nephew; and I would gladly leave him to it.
After all my enemies should have one good day before it all goes to hell.
So with that said, I race off into the forest knowing my physical form must be right below the place that my castle once stood.
It didn't take me long to find it!
It was covered in moss, but still intact.
Stupid Sixer, it would appear the meat sack was never going to stop underestimating me.
I dove into my physical form, and with a brilliant white light my stone features melted away I was finally back!
But I was very small, and still very weak!
It then became very apparent to me that I would still need to feed off of the Pines family for some time before I was fully restored to my former glory, but that didn't mean I had to wait to punish my first target!
Now I could feed off of Pine Tree as I slowly scare him to DEATH! Yes it was the perfect plan,
And this time I was going to make sure that absolutely nothing went wrong!
