Chapter 2:

"Roommates and Evil Siblings…"

--Bill's POV--

I don't know where to start. I've never seen anybody who cared for me this much. When I arrived to this family's house, I realized something. I had forgotten that I was looking for a certain author and artist. Nikki, my new care taker led me to her room, in which we'll be shared. I was amazed at what I saw. Bill Cipher stuff, EVERYWHERE!!! I looked at her awkwardly. She nodded. "Its fine, Bill. Just chill or whatever. No need to be nervous." I nodded back at her. I started to wonder around her room. Then I saw it; on her loft bed was some décor. It read: welcome to Nicole DR., home of MLGbilcipher89!!! I stared at the décor in shock. I then took out my piece of paper. It had that exact username and address I was looking for. The very person I traveled to Indiana in the first place has ironically picked me off the road…and saved me. Now she was standing before me. "What's that?" she asked. Apparently, I wasn't expecting her to ask me something, so she scared the shit out of me. She chuckled. "Sorry, Bill. I didn't mean to become you for that split second." She said. "Ha, ha! Very funny!" I said with a lot of sarcasm. "Its fine, Nikki. I was looking for an author and artist by this username before I passed out…" I handed her the piece of paper and glanced at the décor on the loft bed again. "I guess out of pure coincidence, I found her." I glanced back at Nikki. I suddenly felt a warm and fuzzy feeling. I've never felt this feeling before in a very long time. I've never understood it completely, but I hoped to someday. I didn't want to ruin it. Not again! This time, it will be different. I just had a hunch that this time this feeling will lead to good fortune.

I looked at Nikki. "How did you find out about me?" I asked her. I felt stupid. She'd surely just say that she watched the cartoon like everyone else. But her answer was different. "Two years ago, in an art class at school, I knew this one dude. He usually worked for as the art teacher's assistant, but he worked on pottery art in his spare time. I first caught a glance of you when I caught him making a pottery project based off you. I saw your picture. He was using it to carve your "Face" into the clay. I asked him. "Who's that?" "Bill Cipher." He replied. "Who?" I asked. Yeah, I had no clue. Your picture was…creepy back then. It looked as it had no emotion at all…" She explained. I looked at her confused. "If you were scared of me then, what made your opinion on me change?" I asked. It didn't make much sense to me… "About a year later, I watched Gravity Falls. As soon as I saw your character, I recognized you instantly. After I saw the series and found out about your chant saying you'd return. I saw instantly that you'd have a chance to come clean…I then started further research. I found a poem by a being called the AXOLOTL. It expressed how much guilt and depression. You've always felt. I then did further research. I was desperate to find your motives for Weirdmageddon and the fall of your dimension. I soon became obsessed with you. I also found a bunch of stories online telling about different versions of your redemption. I felt so much pity. I felt we had a lot in common. We're both monsters and we want to become good again…until you came to me today, I thought I'd never be able to tell you how I felt." She stopped for a second before looking down and started to sob for some reason unknown to me-until she said this: "I've assumed that even if I confessed my feelings to you, y—y wouldn't give the sweet-honey-ice-tea…" she continued sobbing. I walked over to her and sat down by her. It was not true!!! I don't know why she thought I wouldn't care. Was it because I used to be a monster? I'm not like that anymore. I liked her! I have ever since I first met her. There's just stuff about her that I love about her. Like her comforting and calming voice, her attitude, and her love for me…

I've never been loved like this before…never! Nikki is the only girl I'd be with. I...loved her, regardless of any flaws she may hold!!! "Hey, hey, hey!!! Don't be like that." I told her. It was my turn to cheer her up. "I--I don't know who told you that I'd wouldn't care, but it's not true! I do like you, Nikki…I've developed a liking for you ever we met. I-just…you're the only person who's ever took an actual interest in me…I've always felt so alone…until you came and scooped me from my sins…I appreciate that, Nikki. I do l-love you. I hope you know that." I told her. She looked at me. She had stopped crying. She smiled. I smiled back. She lunged at me and scooped me into a big hug. "You really feel that way?" she asked. I nodded in conferment. "Of course I do!" I told her quietly. She stroked my hair. "Your hair is so soft." She said. I blushed. "Thanks…" I said. She's cute when she's tired…

We hugged a few more minutes before we heard a knock on the door. Nikki got up and went over to the door and answered it…before slamming it. I got a quick glance at the visitor. It was a boy about ten years of age. He had brown eyes and brown hair. He was oddly bony. He for some reason looked confused when Nikki answered the door. I was also confused at that point. Why did Nikki slam a door in some kid's face? I quirked an eyebrow at her. She looked at me with fear written all over her face. "Ummm…why did you just--" I started. Nikki cut me off. "Just because my mom is letting you stay here, doesn't mean anyone else is going to accept your presence! That was my brother, Matthew. And trust me, he is a HUGE Bill Cipher-hater! I have to keep him away from you at all costs!!!" She explained to me. She was pretty scared. We heard another knock. "Nikki! Come on!!! We're aloud to be in each other's rooms again!!! I wanna play!!!" Came Matthew's voice from the other side of the door. Nikki glanced at me. "Go hide in my loft!" she whispered to me harshly. I ran to the loft and started to climb the ladder. Unfortunately for me, I feel off the ladder on the forth step. It was a bit of a fall, too. To make matters worse, I landed with a loud thud. "Shit!" I exclaimed, trying not to be heard. Nikki tried her best not to laugh. "I won't care…I said pain is hilarious anyways…" I whispered to her. She let it out. All of her giggles. She fell on the ground, too. Just like that idiot cop back in Oregon, except she didn't trigger me. Not one bit. She got up. "Are you talking with someone?" Matthew asked. Crap, the kid was getting suspicious. I quickly got up and scrambled up the ladder. (Successful this time) I then when to the covered wall-part of the loft bed with the little window in the middle. I ducked under the covers. "Okay, you can come in now, I was doing…puberty stuff…" Nikki told Matthew. Her brother instantly came in. he looked around as if looking for something. I breathed heavily. I wasn't too sure I wanted to find out what Nikki's brother would do to me if I revealed myself…

"Who were you talking to?" Matthew asked Nikki with his bony hands on his hips. I was so dead. "Ummm…"Nikki hesitated. I got an idea. I could still talk to people in their mind! "Hey, tell him you were talking to your boyfriend on the phone or something." I told her telepathically. She looked at the bed. I winked at her. She then turned back to face her brother. "I was talking on the phone…with my boyfriend." She said. Matthew gave her a "WTF!?" face. She smiled awkwardly, uncertain if her brother really bought her lie. He didn't. "Okay, Nikki. Don't play stupid. It's clear to me that you're lying. Tell me what's going on!" her brother demanded. Nikki groaned in defeat. Oh shit, this kid was just like pine Tree!!! "Okay…" She sighed. She gestured towards the loft bed. Again, I'm so dead! I went towards the ladder. I started to climb down, until I feel off the loft bed again. It was a higher height, too and it hurt a whole lot more! I groaned in agony. "I officially hate ladders now!!!" I announced. Matthew looked at me as if I was a ghost. "Umm…hi?" I greeted nervously. Hey, it wasn't my fault that the kid probably wanted me dead. Matthew looked at Nikki. "So I'm assuming this is your Boyfriend?" Matthew made quotation gestures with his fingers. Nikki face palmed. "Not yet…he hasn't really asked me out yet…but at least we both know that we like each other…" Nikki replied while shrugging. I sighed. "If you don't mind me asking what your name is…" Matthew asked me. I grew nervous. I also grew uncomfortable. Matthew smirked at me. Was he taunting me? Did he know my true identity? He couldn't if he was asking what my name was. I glanced at Nikki. She nodded at me. She knew what I was asking her.

"Matthew, this is Bill. Bill Cipher…" She said before picking up a white, red, and black stick with a green ball-looking thingy at the end from what seemed like nowhere. I assumed it was to defend me. Matthew tensed up. A few moments later, he socked me on the nose. I fell on the ground. I held my nose and groaned in agony. When I removed my hand, I saw blood. I have just received a nosebleed from the blow. "Oh yay, my fifth punishment this week. How many more will I receive from the damned AXOLOTL?!" I thought sarcastically. But seriously, I totally deserved that. Nikki came over and pulled me to my feet. "Sorry, Bill…I was too hesitant to whack my brother with my cane…" she explained. "Its fine, Nikki. I totally deserved that anyways. I honestly was waiting for something like that to happen to me." I told her. I didn't mean to beat myself up, but that's just my honest opinion. For some reason, my nose was still bleeding. I wiped the blood on my sleeve. Nikki noticed my nose bleed and rushed to the bathroom to get something to clean me up, leaving me alone with her violent sibling.

Matthew looked at me in fear. By the looks of it, he clearly regretted his assault. Judging by him slowly backing away from me. Really, kid? I'm not a damned dinosaur! Hmm…I guess I have a colorful vocabulary than I thought… "Are you going to burn me alive?" Matthew asked. Very unexpected. "Uh…No!" I answered as if he just asked something that's quite disturbing. He looked at me confused and suspiciously. "Really?" he asked. I looked at him, my expression reading; "Oh. My. God!!!" "Yeah, I'm serious! I'd like to redeem myself and I'm pretty sure that process does not involve murder, thank you very much!!!" I explained to him. I still didn't understand how this skinny kid is this strong. Seriously, he's as boney as a skeleton!!! Matthew looked like he still didn't believe me at all!!! This kid is stubborn. I like stubborn kids. I like taking risks. Well, I used to, that is. "Look, kid. What can I do to persuade you that I don't want to be the bad guy anymore?" I asked him. I just wanted him to understand. Matthew hesitated. He looked at me before sighing. He went over to Nikki's desk and shakenly took out…a pair of scissors? What's he going to do with them? "Okay…" he started. "I know I'm going to regret this, but sit in this chair." He instructed. I sat in a chair. I then realized that Nikki's been gone for longer than I would've thought. What's taking her so long? "If you want me to trust me, you have to earn my trust. Just do what I say, and I'll give you trust." He said. I didn't know what was going on, but I had no doubt this wouldn't end well… "The first thing I want you to do is to put your hand on the desk." Matthew instructed. Oh my god. This was really creepy me out. I hesitantly complied. "Okay, take these." Matthew said, handing me the scissors. I went wide eyed. I then noticed that smirk on his face. "You said yourself. Pain is hilarious." I looked at him in pure fear. "That was when I was in Pine Tree's body! It didn't belong to me, so I wasn't worried!!!" I…Whined? I could've sworn I heard my voice crack… "Good then this will be better now that you have your own vessel…" Matthew said with that stupid smirk still on his face. I tensed up. This kid is messed up…

"Okay, now…I want you to mutilate something." Matthew said. WTF?! Okay, now I really wish Nikki was here! "I-I don't know about this…" I said terrified. "If you want my trust, then I suggest you do it!!!" Matthew snapped. I shakenly picked up the scissors and aimed it at my cat-like eye. (That eye doesn't work anyways...) As soon as I stabbed my eye, Nikki came in just in time to see my reckless action receive its consequences. First my Blood curdling screams, then her cry in horror. Her asking Matthew what the hell just happened. My vision blurred. my eyelid fluttered as I begin lose continuous. I didn't want any of this. I didn't know what would happen if I passed. I didn't what would happen if I lived. Would Nikki be mad at me for taking my own eye? Would she slap me and rant about how I was such an idiot. I didn't know until I woke up. I was surprised at the reaction I got. I woke up on a brown couch in Nikki's living room. I heard Nikki's Mom talking on the phone. How long was I out? I felt where my eye was supposed to be. It was gone. I hissed in pain as I felt it. Apparently, Matthew, that twisted child was sitting on the couch opposite of me watching TV. Until he noticed I was awake. He jumped off his spot the couch and darted upstairs. Coward. A few moments later, he came back downstairs with Nikki in tow. Nikki saw me on the couch and ran over to me. She then embraced me in a big hug. I felt something wet on my shoulder. Tears… Nikki was crying. I embraced her back. I stroked her hair. I'm surprised that I am this good at cheering people up….

"Please don't do that to me again…" Nikki said. She sat up and held her hands on my face. "Promise me…" She asked. I loved her. I'd never do anything to hurt her. Though people think this is completely out of character, I don't care because I'm not even that character anymore. Pain is not hilarious, apocalypses don't solve your problems, violence isn't the answer, and tricking, lying, and manipulating people leads to bad things to come. I've learned all of those lessons the hard way. I don't want to be the horrible monster I once was, and I hope I'm never that monster again! I took Nikki's hand in mine. "I promise…" Nikki smiled sadly and we embraced yet again. Just then, Nikki's Mom came up to Nikki and me. "Hey, Bill. How are you feeling?" She asked. I could see a hint of fear in that woman's eyes. "I'm in pain…but I think I can endure it. It's not like I needed that eye anyways…" I replied. Nikki's mom looked at me puzzled. "Why would you say that?" She asked. I shrugged. "If you've seen my triangle form then you'll notice that I just have one eye. But since I'm human now and I just had one eye as my triangle form, one of my eyes are blind. Nikki's Mom nodded. "Well, I just registered you in Nikki's school. You'll be going with her tomorrow." I widened my eye. "What grade? Also, Tomorrow is Sunday…" Nikki's mom looked at me. "You'll be a freshman, like Nikki. You'll be staying in dormitories. Dorm students can go to the dorm on Sundays." Nikki's mom explained. I nodded slowly. Nikki's Mom took out a little bag from a Halloween store. And pulled out an eyepatch. She then handed it to me. I knew what it was for. No one wanted to see my empty eye socket. I put the eyepatch on. Nikki's mom then announced that she'll go pack cloths for Nikki and me.

The next day…

Our car ride back to Indy was a bit weird and funny. I humored and entertained Nikki by telling her about some of the funniest and weirdest deals I've ever made with humans in my time. Like that deal I made with a guy from the 80s. He wanted to have a waffle, but he didn't know how to eat. I turned his arm into a fork. A few minutes later, we arrived at the school. It reminded me of some book and movies I heard of about some kid wizard. His "Wizarding" school looked just like this. We went to the front doors. It looked like a tower with a castle design. Again, the design is like that school the kid wizard goes to. I wonder if this building is based off that wizarding school… eh. We went in the building after we were confirmed "Safe". We went up some Marble (?) Steps. To the "Business" office. We met a lady at the desk. She led us to another office, but bigger. She pulled out all the permission forms. Such as Gym uniforms, trust fund accounts (What?), dorm request forms (we didn't need that.), and other crap I'm too lazy to mention. Oh wait, the physical…eh, I think Nikki's mom said something about taking me to an appointment sometime next weekend. After about thirty minutes, we took a tour of the school and went to the dorms. I was in "H" dorm. The high school boys stayed in. that makes sense…Nikki was in "I" Dorm. It was for high school girls. Our dorms were neighbors. So we could visit each other easier. Nikki's mom decided to stick around when she dropped me off first. Surprisingly, Nikki was allowed to tag along. We entered my new dorm. I was super nervous. New people weren't exactly my thing…

"Hey, you're the new kid, right?" Someone asked. I whipped around. Some dude was by the door way to the hang out room. He had muddy brown hair, Facial Hair?! , glasses, and a deep voice. "Ummm…yeah…" I answered. "I'm Cody. What's your name?" The Dude asked. "Bill..." I lowered my face in guilt. "Bill…Cipher." I introduced. The dude gasped. "The Dorito guy?" He guessed. I nodded. "Wait, what the heck is a Dorito?!" I asked him. "A triangle-shaped chip…" Nikki said. I looked at her. "I want to change my name…" I complained. Ehh…It's true. Nikki patted my back. "I'm certain you'll be recognized quite a lot…" She said. "Why?" I asked. "Because there's tons of "Gravity Falls" fans in the school…" She replied. I groaned in embarrassment. "Well, good to have you, Dorito. Wink, Wink." Cody said. Nikki rolled her eyes. Cody went to another room. Just then a dorm parent came in. "Uhhh. Hi, how are you?" he asked. Who was this guy? I gave him a thumbs up. "Well, my name is Mr. Guffey. What's yours? Clearly it was a bad time for him to be drinking coffee then…"Bill Cipher…"I said. "WHHAAAT??!!" Mr. Guffey shouted in surprise. Mr. Guffey spilled his coffee on his shirt. Luckily, it was not hot…so he didn't get burned. He just had a brownish stain on his shirt now…it was white, too.

"Well…at least I know who are. The rest of the day was calm. Nikki went to her dorm. I hung out and scared a lot of people just by my introduction. When I went to my room to unpack my belongings before I retired for the night, a few thoughts wondered in my mind…

"Will the other kids accept me or will they be scared of me? How will I survive in this school if the other kids don't accept me? Will I make new friends given the fact that I'm a former villain from a kid's cartoon?"

You never know what to expect in high school. New, life, new school, LOTS of potential problems…
