Blendin Blandin was still trying to understand what had just happened. Instead of wishing he was never born, the twins had given him his job and his hair back. Even weirder, after giving their time wish to their friend Soos, he had used it to clean them up and create an infinite slice of pizza! Who gives away a time wish, anyway? It was basically unheard of in the entire two hundred thousand years of Globnar.
After the twins and their friend had left, Blendin pulled out his tape measure time machine. It was a newer model and he was trying to find the activator switch. The small yellow device slipped out of his hands, and he bent down to pick it up. While doing so, he started noticing something weird happening.
"What!?" he whined. "Did I break it already?" The color of the room was being drained, and it looked like it was coming from the tape measure. An eye started forming on the floor, and in a brilliant flash of light a glowing yellow triangle appeared.
"Hey stranger, how's it going!" the triangle yelled. He peeled himself off of the ground and stretched out his arm. "Name's Bill Cipher, and I sure am glad to be seeing you!" Blendin took a step away from the demon.
"Well, o-oh y-yeah, well my name's Blendin—"
"—Blandin, I know! Nice hair by the way, really suits you." Blendin gave Bill an odd look.
"What do y-you want with m-me?" Blendin stuttered. Bill twirled his hat around and leaned closer.
"It's not what I want with you, but what you want with me." He stuck his hat onto his head and continued. "I've been watching you, and I must admit I'm disappointed." Blendin crossed his arms.
"Disappointed? With w-what, huh?"
"Oh, just your wasted potential," Bill replied. His eye twinkled when he noticed the confused expression on Blendin's face. "You're wasting your time working for Time Baby, when you could be making real changes to the world."
"Hey, I'm happy with my job!" Blendin protested. "And I'm not just helping the world, I'm helping the universe."
"Oh, yeah, what would we do without you. To be perfectly blunt, all the stuff you've done so far has just been helping Time Baby." Bill spat out the word with a mix of disgust and hatred. "You're just his slave." Blendin was taken aback. Him, a slave!
"Hey, I'm not a slave! I can do what I want, w-whenever I want." Bill scowled. His eye narrowed and his color tinged red. He glided up into Blendin's face.
"Oh yeah? Prove it." He grabbed the tape measure off of Blendin's belt and held it up. "If you're so independent, take this, go back in time, and slap someone across the face." Bill backed away and laughed. "That'd actually be really funny!"
"B-but I can't do that," Blendin retorted. "Time Baby would… oh." He sighed.
"Well, I have a little offer for you, if you want it." He flexed his fingers and continued. "I can promise you something amazing." He paused.
"W-what? Something amazing?"
"Oh yes, something wonderful." A globe appeared in Bill's hand. A small statue of Blendin sat on its top. "The chance to finally do something important. To be more than just a footnote in the timeline of the universe." Blendin's eyes widened.
"R-r-really, you'd do that for me? What do you want?"
"Nothing! I'm offering this one time offer as a gift!" He stretched his arm out and engulfed it in a blue flame. "So, do we have a DEAL?" Blendin smiled.
"I-I'm not sure why you're doing this, but I j-just want you to know I appreciate it." He stretched his hand out and shook. The handshake was surrounded by the flames.
"Oh, it's my pleasure! Now, what should you do…" A lightbulb appeared above his head. "Oh, I know!" He gave a well-practiced yank and a transparent form of Blendin came tumbling out of his body.
"What's going on!?" he cried. The color around them had suddenly come flooding back, and he had a bizarre third person view of his own body. "Let me in!" He sent himself flying at himself, but he passed through it completely.
"Hey, nice body!" Bill said as he poked himself in the stomach. "It even comes with padding!" He fumbled with the tape measure time machine. He held it in front of him and started pushing buttons. "How does this work, anyways?"
"Y-you just p-pull out the tape as far as you want to go, and p-p-press the button." Blendins eyes widened as he realized what he had just said. "I-I-I m-mean y-you have t-to—"
"Like this?" Bill had pulled the tape out.
"N-no, you d-don't know what you're doi-" In a flash of light, both Bill and Blendin were warped to the future. To a point in time where a young almost teenage girl was alone in the forest.

So this is the start of a multi-chapter fic I've been thinking about for a while. Basically, every character on the character list plus a few are going to be visited by Bill. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do for Rumble.
