To The Story...

This story you are about to read is from my imagination! It is what I believe happens the summer after Weirdmageddon. The summer when Dipper and Mabel return to Gravity Falls! You may see differently which it totally ok. If you do please tell me what you think their next summer would be like! If people like this I may write more about Gravity Falls, or even other things. Please enjoy this writing and comment on the positive and negatives of this story!

"Dipper! We're almost there! I can just see the Gravity Falls sign if I squint my eyes hard enough!" Mabel and Dipper had been riding the bus for some time now! They both nearly jumped out of their seats when the saw the Gravity Falls sign come into view! "You're right Mabel! There it is. We're almost to the mystery shack! And in the nick of time, you're almost out of sweater making materials." "Oh please Dipper, I ran out of that stuff an hour ago. I've been using the gum and ripped fabric from the bus seats." They both laughed and stared out the bus windows looking at the town they had finally returned too.

As they both expected, everything looked the same. Obviously, it had all been rebuilt after the whole incident with Bill and his gang of interdimensional criminals, but everything was fixed and back to its original form. BeeblyBoop's Video Game store was still standing and looked like its lights had been updated. Gravity Fall Highschool was a little damaged but remained in the same spot as before. The bowling alley, the water tower, the mall, everything looked exactly the same as before! One thing was a little odd though. Gleeful's Auto Sale car dealership was closed. Not only that, but the place was completely abandoned. Not a light on or a car in the parking lot. "That's weird," Dipper said as he rubbed his head. "Well it can't be as weird as Weirdmageddon" Mabel responded in a goofy tone. Dipper laughed and said "But seriously, look. Gideon's dads place it gone! No signs are up, no cars in the lot, no..." Mabel cut him off and said "NO FUNNY DANCING MAN! Dipper we have to find him!" Dipper giggled a little and so did Mabel. Dipper then said, "You kept in touch with Gideon over the school year right?" Mabel nodded. "Yeah, he told me that his dad had decided they needed some time away from Gravity Falls, so they packed up and moved to Seattle for the school year. They should be coming back to Gravity Falls any day now." (Little flash back... Last year Mabel promised Gideon that she would keep in touch with him only because he helped save her life. In the time frame of a year, they have become pretty good friends, but Mabel still isn't interested, and Gideon is.) The bus finally made its way to the bus station closest to the Mystery Shack, and there they were. Mabel bolted for the door and hopped out of the bus and cried, "Gruncle Stan and Gruncle Ford! I've missed you so much!" She practically flew into Stans' arms, making him fall to the ground. "Mabel, you've grown so much!" Stan says. Dipper gets out of the bus as well and hugs his Gruncle Ford. Before Ford had a chance to say something to Dipper, Stan says, "So Dipper you get any muscle yet? Or is it still, 'Disco girl, comein through, that girl is you!" Stan and Mabel started to laugh so hard that they began rolling on the ground. Dipper smiled and said, "That was just a phase. I've grown up since then. I've started growing my first chest hair!" That just made Stan laugh even harder. Ford smiled at Dipper. He then said, "Alright Stanford that's enough laughing for one day. Let's get these kids back to the Mystery Shack so they can unpack and eat some dinner. You must be very hungry." Mabel and Dipper nodded and started to walk toward the Mystery Shack.

Dipper finished packing before Mabel. Mabel had grown up a lot since their last year at Gravity Falls. For some reason, she had these odd little things packed in her bag called baby wipes. Dipper didn't understand it. He heard Mabel's friends say that it was for red kool-aid or something. She had also become more interested in makeup. That Christmas their parents gave Mabel permission to start wearing it whenever she wanted. Dipper didn't understand why or how she used those things but he didn't question it. He then made his way down stairs to find his great uncle Ford. Dipper had some questions about Bill that had been nagging him all year. He soon found Great uncle Ford in his laboratory. He'd been working on another invention to help him and Stan combat the weird evil forces they had been fighting around the world. "Greetings Dipper! I'm so happy you found me down here. Listen there are some things that we need to discuss, privately." "Well that's wonderful, cause there were some things I wanted to talk to you about as well." As Dipper was talking Ford made his way to the door. He shut and locked it. "That's wonderful! You tell me what's on your mind. Then I'll share what information I have that regards you and Gravity Falls." Dipper was a little confused by his Gruncle statement. "Ok? Well, do you remember what Gruncle Stan said about what happened in his mind after we destroyed Bill?" "Yes, I do remember that very odd statement. I've wrapped my mind around it but still can't understand it." Dipper continued, "Well I think I might just have the answer or at least something to help us understand what it meant." Fords eyes lit up. "You do!" Dipper nodded. "Well, what does it mean?" "Last summer Mabel and I played a record disk backward and it revealed a secret meaning. That meaning isn't really important, but the way we solved it is." Ford looked a little confused. "Please continue Dipper." "Ok. So I said the same words that Bill had said. I recorded myself saying these words, then played it backward." Dipper then pulled out a mini tape recorder And began played it backward. "Ahhh! X-O-L-O-T-L, my time has come to burn! I invoke the ancient power that I may return!" Dipper looked over at his great uncle Ford. His eyes and mouth were wide open. It took Ford a few minutes to come back to reality, but when he did he grabbed a pen and a book off the shelf. He began writing something down profusely. Dipper looked over his great uncle's shoulder as Ford shut the book. It was the journal!

"Great uncle Ford, did you recreate the journals?" Dipper was still in awe. That journal that had taught him the mysteries of Gravity Falls. Ford let out a sigh of relief. "Thankfully no. When Bill was defeated everything that had been changed or destroyed during Weirdmageddon had been returned to the way it was. But as you probably saw, not everything was restored to its original form. I'd recovered the journals by the bell tower but discovered that some of the pages in them had been damaged. Mainly the ones that are about how to defeat Bill or ways to weaken him." Ford took a moment to think, then continued, "I've been trying to recreate the damaged pages, but being old doesn't help. My memory isn't what it used to be." Dipper grabbed the journal from his great uncle. He still couldn't believe that they were back! Bill had destroyed them right in front of his face, but they were still here. Especially the third journal. This was the journal that changed his life forever. He found in the metal tree last year, and now it's back in his hand. Flipping through the pages, Dipper noticed that there was a different weakness written on the gnomes page. "Did you happen to study the gnomes again great uncle Ford?" Ford glanced back at Dipper and said, "Yes I did. I found out that their weakness is also chocolate! It makes them incredibly slow and very drowsy. I also couldn't recall what you had added to the journal. Feel free to write it down again." Dipper did just that. After he finished writing leaf blowers in the journal he remembered Ford saying that he had something to tell him. Something that regarded him and Gravity Falls.

Mabel finally finished unpacking. She knew what Dipper was doing. Playing scientist with Gruncle Ford. Just like they always did last year. So she made her way downstairs to the tv where she knew she'd find Gruncle Stan. To her surprise, Gruncle Stan wasn't in his favorite chair watching an episode of duck-tective. Instead, Mabel found him throwing stuff into the bottomless pit. Mabel walked up to him and gave him another big hug. "Gruncle Stan, remember when Dipper, Soos, you and me fell into this." Stan started to laugh, "Yeah I remember. I'm normally a good liar but I had no idea how I was going to lie out of that one." Mable smiled. "How have your adventures with Gruncle Ford been? Did you meet any unicorn fish?" "No Mabel we didn't. I was very upset about that! But I did have to escape from A prison and Guadalajara." Her eyes started to glow. "Wow. Where's that located?" Stan responds, "No idea, but it was very similar to the Mystery Shack. They also have one-ply toilet paper." They both laugh and make their way back to the Mystery Shack for dinner.

Great uncle Ford was writing something down in another one of the journals. Dipper then asked, "So, what was it that you wanted to tell me? You made it sound very important." Ford looked at Dipper for a few moments. The room was quiet and the atmosphere became very awkward and on edge. Ford kneeled down so that he could look Dipper in the eyes. "Dipper, you are a unique person. Like I said last year, not many people your age can do what you did. You were twelve and destroyed an extraterrestrial orb that was going to take me who knows where." Ford looked away for a second, but Dipper knew something was wrong. "What is it great uncle Ford?" Their eyes met and Ford continued. "Do you remember when you first encountered Bill?" "Well of course. I could never forget that day." Dipper looked at his chest and smiled. "We defeated Bill when he was in Gruncle Stans mind. That was when Bill made the deal with Gideon. I can't remember what Gideon wanted. I believe it was something that involved the Mystery Shack. Why?" Ford sighed, "Well. Dipper there's no easy way of saying this. I believe that Bill can come back." No words were said for quite some time. Then Ford spoke again. "And I believe he can come back, through you." "What are you saying great uncle Ford?" "I'm saying that, because Bill said what he said before he left stans mind, that means he can come back. There are only two ways he can come back now. By tricking someone into truly loving him, or through someone younger than 16 who he had taken a liking too." He sighed again. "Bill was a very smart, resourceful dream daemon. He knew what cards he needed to play and which ones to keep hidden. He hid one from us." For flipped Dippers hair so that his birthmark was showing. "Dipper, there's no easy way to say this. Bill marked you when you were a child." Dipper took a step back. "What? How? No, how could he, he didn't even know who I was!" Dipper looked at Ford. Ford was looking at the ground like he was ashamed. "I told him that your mother was pregnant. I'm sorry, a was under the assumption that we were friends. I thought I could trust him. He asked me if I would ever become a dad or an uncle of some sort. I shouldn't have trusted him. I'm sorry." Dipper looked up at his great uncle and said, "Is that why he called my pine tree the first time he saw me? Because he already knew me?" Ford nodded.

The next few nights Dipper started having dreams. Dreams of Bill, but they weren't bad. In his dreams, he was in a field with only one tree in sight. This tree was a pine tree. It was very tall and looked to be very strong. Bill was there watering the tree. He was helping it grow big and strong. As he tended to the tree he would also talk to it. Bill would say things like, "Pine tree, everything I've done is to make you strong. It's to prepare you for what is to come." every night Bill would tend and talk to the pine tree. Gravity Falls was still the same as alway, but there was less weirdness now. Everyone now knows about the gnomes and other mythical creatures, so it's very accepted now. There wasn't much for Dipper and Mabel to do. Their grunkles tried to do everything in their power to make the twins summer a good one, but their attempts failed. Dipper had been very quiet for the first two weeks, but for some reason, Mabel had been quiet too. Dipper assumed it was because Grenda and Candy Chui weren't going to be in Gravity Falls until the end of July. The two did their best to create adventure, but it always failed because they had already gone through very intense weirdom. It just wasn't the same. Dippers dreams continued and intensified. Soon he was actually talking to Bill. Dipper could actually start to feel the grass on his feet and the wind blowing past his face. Bill and Dipper began to talk to one another about Weirdmageddon. At first, Dipper blamed Bill, he still kept blaming Bill but began to not hate him for the things he did. They soon conversed about his uncles, how Bill first met Ford and other scholarly topics. Dipper didn't want to admit it, but he soon saw Bill not as a friend, but an acquaintance. Someone he could get advice from, almost someone that he can trust.

"Look Pine Tree, you've got a good thing going. I mean I don't like to admit it, but you beat me fair and square. I mean as I was about to take over the world I couldn't stop thinking about you and your sister. You two, theirs something about you guys that is unnatural. Something..." Bills voice began to drown out and Mabels became louder. "Dipper, Dipper? Are you awake? Please wake up." Dippers eyes opened to a makeup less Mabel. "Are you ok? Did you have a bad dream or did the gnomes try and capture you again?" "No, no I'm fine. It's you I'm worried about." Dipper sat up. "Why?" Mabel started fiddling with her hair. "Well," She paused, "You've been talking in your sleep for the past few nights. Manly muttering words, speaking gibberish, stuff like that." She stopped fiddling with her hair and look straight at Dipper. "Tonight you were talking as clear as grunkle Fords glasses." She grabbed Dippers hands and said in a whisper, "I want you to be honest with me." Dipper nodded. "Were you talking to Bill Cipher? Was he talking to you?" Dippers eyes shot wide open. He was about to say no, but he looked into Mabel's eyes and knew he shouldn't. "I was. But you can't tell great uncle Ford or grunkle Stan. Please." She agreed and asked what they had been talking about. Dipper told her about how he had been having these type of dreams for the past three weeks. He told her of what they talked about an what Bill did every time in the dream. By the time they finished talking it was already four in the morning. They then slept for the few hours they could and said nothing more on the matter.

Mabel didn't actually go to sleep. She waited until she was absolutely sure that Dipper was asleep. Then she snuck down to Fords laboratory. She knew that he wasn't asleep, he never sleeps. Or at least wakes up at the time the same time every morning. Sure enough, he was in his laboratory writing down something in one of the journals. "Gruncle Ford? Is this a bad time?" Ford turned around. "Greetings Mabel. No, I'm not working on anything too important. Is something wrong." Mabel then started crying. "Mabel, whats wrong. Are you ok?" He then got on his knees and hugged Mabel intensely. "I'm ok. But Dippers not. Do you remember how I told you that I was having dreams of Bill." Ford nodded. "And how I told you in every dream Bill always watered a Pine tree and talked to it." Ford responded, "Yes. Are the dreams coming back? I think I have something that can help with that." Mabel interrupted him and said,"No. I'm fine. It's Dipper. He's been having the same dreams that I used to have, but he is stronger than mine. I heard him talking to Bill. I know what Bill said to him. I don't know what to do, I don't know..." Mabel started crying so hard. Ford's shirt was becoming drenched with tears. Ford responded, "Mabel I'm so sorry. The thing is I can't help him unless he wants help. That's the only reason why Bill vanished from your dreams. Because you wanted him gone. I can't do anything without Dipper asking for it. I can talk to him about it tomorrow." "I told Dipper that I wouldn't tell you about it. Please don't tell him I told you. I just don't know what to do." Ford began to stroke her hair. "I'll do everything in my power to stop Bill from whatever he is planning. And I'll do whatever I can to help Dipper."

I apologize for how long it has taken me to post again. I have been busy with school, but if you like what you're reading and want more, please let me know. I enjoy doing these and if you enjoy reading them, I'd be more than happy to continue to write for you guys.

The story is now continuing...

It had been 2 weeks since Mabel told Ford of what happened. They both tried their hardest to not make Dipper suspect anything, but as time passed it became harder and harder. Dipper had begun to venture into the woods more often, alone. Mabel would offer to come but her offer always rejected. the dreams were getting worst! One night Mabel noticed that the room was awfully quiet. She looked over to make sure her brother was ok, but Dipper what nowhere to be seen. The stairs creaked as she made her way down stairs and outside. The flashlight that could cause things to shrink and grow was gone, and only the crystal was left behind. Mable grabbed a lantern and made her way outside. It didn't take her long to track Dipper down. It had rained the night before causing the dirt to turn into mud. Mabel followed Dippers foot tracks. The foot prints led her to a place that was all too familiar. It led her to the place where she first saw Bill Cipher.

Out of the corner of Mabel's eye, she saw someone leaned up against a tree. It was Dipper. He seemed to be asleep or unconscious. Mabel rushed over to his side. He was talking in his sleep, and the closer he got to him the sleepier she became. All of the sudden she was with Dipper, but they weren't alone. "Well, well, well. If it isn't my favorite shooting star! How's it been sugar cakes!?" Mabel was in complete shock. She started to yell intensely, "How are you freakin back you one eyed, back stabbing, dream demon!" All of the sudden, Mabel was about to charge at him when someone stepped in her way. "Mabel calm down. It's ok, he can't hurt us here." Dipper was so calm. It almost seemed unnatural. before he could get another word out, Mabel jumped on top of him. her hug felt nice to Dipper but was also strangling him. The two finally let go of one another. "Aww isn't this just touching! Pine tree and shooting star, ooh! Just makes me want to throw up!" Bill then started crying in agony after being poked in the eye. Mabel then said, "You shut your interdimensional yapper you one eyed freak!" Dipper smiled at Mabel. He then asked, "Why are you here? Is something wrong?" Her jaw just about touched the ground. "What's wrong? Nothing is wrong! But why in the heck are you talking too flippin BILL!" Dipper started getting sweatier than usual and began rubbing his head. He nervously said, "It's a long story." Mabel crossed her arms. "Well, you better start talking, cause we ain't' leaving here until you tell me everything."

"Dipper I'm serious. We will stay here for an eternity unless you tell me what in the heck is going on." "I can make that happen shooting star." Bill said. Mabel shouted, "Can in Cipher. Dipper start talking." A long pause followed Mabel's request. Dipper finally looked up at Mabel, who had her arms crossed. "Ok. So ever since we returned to Gravity Falls I had an odd feeling. Almost like we were being watched. I ignored those feelings because I assumed it was just the mystical creatures of the forest." The area around the twins started to change. The sky looked like it was moving backward. The ground began to alter form. All the sudden everything stopped. The Pines twins heard a stick break and looked to see what it was. The sound was from them. Dipper's memory from their first day back was being played for them to see. Dipper continued, "Like I said, I tried ignoring it. I was able to distract myself with memories from last year, but that feeling would come back. The feeling began to worsen. I then started having dreams about Bill. Nothing bad though. They were dreams of what Bill's life was like before he became all evil and insane." Mabel sat herself down on a tree stump near by as Dipper proceeded to tell his tale. "The dreams of Bill became more frequent and more real. Then one night, nothing. No dreams whatsoever. I woke up that next morning and the strangest thing happened. I saw Bill." Mabel's arms slowly began to unfold. "He was in our room. I rubbed my eyes and looked up at where he was, but he was gone. That same day I made my way through the woods to this very same place. Not knowing where I was, I stupidly sat down and started staring at the sky. Everything then went gray and low and behold, Bill was floating right in front of me." The sky and ground began to move again. It returned to its original state. Mabel just stared at Dipper. Her hair blew in the wind and slightly hid her face. "That doesn't answer my question." She paused. A tear ran down her face as she said, "Why are you here, with Bill Cipher. The thing that nearly killed us and nearly cost us our Grunkle Stan's life!?" Tears began streaming down her face. "Why Dipper." "I can answer that little shooting star." Bill then flew over towards Mabel. He was just about to pat Mabel on the back when Dipper said something that caught them both by surprise. "Don't you dare touch my sister." Bill was the most surprised by what Dipper said. He stared Dipper down and seemed to become very annoyed with what Dipper had just done. "Well, ok Pine Tree. Let me just conjure up some better area for us to talk." The sky and ground began to move again, but this time it started to move faster. Soon they arrived in a similar looking

The sky and ground began to move again, but this time it started to move faster. Soon they appeared in a triangular looking building. I was very similar to the castle that Bill had created last year, but there were some major differences. The tapestry in the throne room was absolutely horrifying, but yet breath taking. The three of them eventually made their way to the very tip of the pyramid. As they entered the room, the twins noticed that the room was red and black. There were many paintings of Bill on the walls. The room also contained a piano, chairs and a couch. Bill asked if they wanted to take a seat, but Mabel and Dipper decided to stay standing. "Just as skeptical as ever. Well, I guess it's time to tell you why I've been haunting your brother! That's actually why he was out talking to me tonight. I told him if he came to the same place where I first visited his dreams then I would tell him that very answer." Bill sat down on one of the chairs and continued. "As old Fordsie has probably already told you, you're both two very special twins. But not in the way that your grunkle thinks. Ford wasn't the only person I kept my eye on." Bill then snapped his fingers. Three wine glasses appeared out of thin air and were placed in each of their hand. Mabel took a sip thinking it was grape juice. "When Sixer and I were doing business together, he gave me full reign over his mind. That old fart didn't even know what I was doing half the time." Bill took a long sip from his glass and snapped his fingers once more, instantly filling up the glass. "Any what, when I was in roaming his mind I came across some very interesting information. A memory of Stan and him when they were in High School. The day that Stan ruined Ford's life." Dipper interrupted Bill and said, "We know that whole story. Grunkle Stan ruined great uncle Ford's life by, accidentally, sabotage Fords invention that was going to get him into his dream school. We know all this." Following Dippers comment was laughter from Bill. "Oh, you poor, innocent Pine Tree. For and Stan love you dearly, but they still keep secrets from you both." Mabel became furious. "You shut up you triangular butt! Our Grunkles may have kept secrets from us in the past, but that's all changed now! And even if they are, it's probably for good reason." Bills laughter only increased at Mabel's outburst. "If you really believe that, then why didn't they tell you that they had a sister." Mabel went quiet. Nothing came out of her mouth. The only thing that happened was she decided to sit down on one of the chairs. Bill then began talking about their grandmother. "I had my eye on her for so long! As smart and special Ford and Stan are, their sister is far from that. She was as normal as anyone could get. I almost gave up on her, thinking that she was just a useless pawn, but then something happened that really intrigued me. Your grandmother became pregnant with your mother. That new was the thing that gave me hope." Bill got up from his chair and started floating around the room. He seemed to be looking for something. Dipper soon became tired of standing and took a seat on the floor next to Mabel. Bill continued his story as he searched for an object somewhere in the room. "I stalked your family for years. Most of the things I found out were boring, useless things. your grandmother eventually divorced your grandfather because he loved another woman. She legally changed your mother's name back to Pine. They then moved to California when your mother was a Junior in high school." Bill then shouted 'hurrah' as he pulled a book from his bookshelf. "I found it." He opened the book and flipped through the pages. The book was then handed to the twins. It contained memories of their mothers past. "Your mother was a fine woman. I have nothing against her, but she definitely served her purpose in my plan! Eventually, she got married. It took them three years to have you Dipper. But they finally did. "Wait, wait." Mabel said. "You mean us." Bill chuckled, "Sure shooting star. Let's go with that." (Read 'Little Dipper' to understand what Bill is talking about.) "Anyway, I made a deal with your mother. And that deal involved Dipper! That is why he is so special. Dipper, you're the most important pawn of all." "Shut your yap you old hag." She said harshly to Bill. Mabel immediately got on the floor to talk to Dipper. But there was nothing to talk to. Dipper was gone.

"WHAT DID YOU DO WITH MY BROTHER YOU ONE EYE FREAK!?" Mabel began screaming over and over. Books were being thrown onto the floor, lamps shattering as they slammed onto the ground, everything was being destroyed. "Relax kid. Your brother is fine. I moved him to one of my other rooms so he could absorb everything that was just said." That just made Mabel even more furious. "No. you moved him because you don't want us together for some reason!" Then a memory of the first time they met Bill popped into her mind. "We're in the mind scape right now. Bill, if you don't give me back my brother I swear I will kill you myself. Right here, right now! You will not hurt my brother as long as I live." Bill looked at Mabel and said, "Well who ever said I wanted to hurt him?" Mabel became very confused. "Then why do you want my brother anyway?" "Well, that answer is for another time my little shooting star!" Bill then pulled out a pocket watch. "Perfect timing. Looks like you and Pine tree are about to wake up! Before you go a little word of advice. I promise you that I won't hurt Dipper, but I can't say the same for you, or people who get in my way. Your family had to go to extreme lengths to get rid of me once. Let's hope that doesn't happen again! Until then I'll be watching!" Everything went black, and then white. The sun was blinding, Mabel rubbed her eyes. "DIPPER!" She looked over to her side to see a half awake Dipper also rubbing his eyes. She jumped on top of him and began squeezing his neck. "Are you ok? What happened to you? Did he hurt you?" Dipper pushed her off of him. "I'm fine Mabel, just a little shaken up." Mabel nodded. "Yeah, that was real crazy! It had to only be a dream though. Right?" "Mabel, maybe you can easily forget about that, but I can't. There is no way that was fake. I know it was Bill, and I know he's back. I'm not going to deny something that I know is true. No matter how badly I don't want to accept it." With that Dipper put his hands in his PJ packets and started walking back towards the shack. Mabel was left there, alone. That whole experience affected her as well, but not the same way as Dipper. The only thing she could think of after all that happened was, "I'm going to kill that flipping dream demon if it's the last thing I do!"
