Juniper's green hair fell in her face as she ran. She didn't brush it away, though. That would mean breaking her hand formation, and she was almost to the end. Soon, she would let her brother out. Soon, he would be free. She would have doused herself in water quite a while ago, if she had the ability. Only a few more hours before she could free her brother from his stone prison. Only a few more hours of endless running before twelve months were up, and her brother was free. For a second, Juniper marveled at the fact that she had been able to keep herself going for this long, but then reminded herself that, as a dream demon, she was immortal, and therefore of was highly unlikely she would tire of this anytime soon. True, her brother was on the list of most wanted criminals in the mutiverse, but she was sure that was just peer pressure.

How? A part of herself thought. How can you think that?! He literally took over our home dimension until he grew bored, at which point he destroyed it. Not to mention he's a very strong willed dream demon. It wasn't peer pressure.

She would regret doing this, probably. Her brother would brush it off as something she had done because of blood, not because she actually liked him. And then there was the price to pay for the magic. There was no possible way to get around that...though actually there might have been. Her brother had always been good at finding amazing loopholes. The price being the two became human. She had searched for quite a while for something to deter the effects. The farthest she had gotten was allowing them to keep their abilities for elemental manipulation and production. Only a few more moments. She wondered how old the two of them would be. He was older than she was. However, She, Juniper Cipher, was more mature than her brother, Bill Cipher .

-LINE, TAKE A BREAK.

"Why did we have to wait the extra two weeks to come here? I can't wait two hours!" Mabel Pines' long, chocolate brown hair fell in her face, but it was quickly brushed aside.

"Because Grunkle Stan and Great Uncle Ford didn't get back from their trip until now." Her twin brother, Dipper, said matter-of-factly, readjusting his new glasses. They made his already intelligent appearance look even smarter, but they remained awkward and large on him, constantly needing to be pushed back up.

"Oh, right. I am soooo suuuppperrr exxiiiittteeed Diiiippper!" The post-preteen bounced up and down in her seat. Then she paused. "Oh, my gosh! What if...the Gnomes still want me to be their queen?"

Dipper shrugged. "Unless they've found a new Queen, they probably will. But I don't think there's anything to worry about. We've beaten them before, and we could beat them again!" The male twin seemed more confident in his abilities than usual, and he felt more confident. This could likely be attributed to the fact that the two Pines Twins were returning to one of the most exiting places in the multiverse. Gravity Falls. One of the strangest places on Earth. Others would ignore the oddities until they couldn't anymore. Like last summer, when Bill Cipher, a psychopathic and powerful dream demon, created a rift in time and space so the Nightmare Dimension could leak into theirs. The guy was a serious creepster.

"We're lucky we even get to come back at all, especially with the number of fork scars I received last summer." Dipper stated.

"Oh, right. Dipper, I'm really sorry I didn't notice, I-,"

"No, it's fine. You had your play to worry about. I'm just glad you realized in the end and didn't give Bill the journal." The younger twin hugged his sister. He had decided a while back she didn't deserve anger from him anymore. She had had enough right after the demonic possession incident.

The bus pulled into Gravity Falls.

"Oh. My. Gosh. We're here! Dipper we're here! I cannot wait to see everyone! Dipper, why aren't you smiling so much your mouth hurts? I'm smiling so much my mouth hurts!"

-LINE! WHAT DID I JUST SAY?

Bill Cipher opened his glistening blue eyes slowly. He felt different. It was worrying him. As he began to observe the world around him, he turned, and came face to face with a brown haired girl, almost exactly his height.

"Juniper." He said.

"You're a human now. Acknowledge that in some way. Please. I'm begging you." Said the girl, and Bill watched her, in what could almost only be called fixation, marvelling at how you could make a 17,452,764 year old look like they were fourteen. It just didn't make sense. But it was amusing.

"I would, but I'm really not feeling like it right now." The boy stated.

"Could you be any more obnoxious!?"

"Yeah, do you want to see?"

"No! No. Never mind. What are we going to do?"

"Lie on the ground and almost die. And then go beg for mercy from somebody. And then kill them in their sleep. That sounds fun."

"Bill! No! I swear, you can soooo annoying sometimes!"

"Thennnnnnnn what are we going to do, sis?"

"I don't know! That's why I asked you! And don't call me sis."

"You aren't the boss of me."

"Oh, but I am. Given the fact that in the dying flames that englobed our dimension, Mom and Dad-you remember Mom and Dad, right? They asked me to take of you and that, if you asked, yes, I was the boss of you."

"I don't need taken care of! I'm fine."

"Says the guy who was just stuck inside a statue."

"I-shut up! I'm fine. You're fine. We can go our separate ways." The boy turned and balled himself up on the ground.

"Bill, get up you're fine, and-," Then Juniper realized that the boy might not be fine. "Bill, are you okay?"

He started to cry.

"They beat me. I was so close. So close...and I couldn't do it. I failed and I failed miserably."

"Bill, I, I, who's them?"

"Stanford Pines. Stanley Pines. The entire freaking Pines family."

"Well then, um, let's go get back at them so you regain your self confidence!"

"Yay! Revenge!" Bill stood and wiped the tears from his eyes. "Can I kill then?"

"Let's not kill them, okay? That sounds like a bad idea.

"Can I torture them?"

"As long as your torture is psychological. Then you can."

"Yay! Psychological torture! That sounds fun!"

"I'm concerned."
