Chapter 2

The next day, I still had the occasional problem, but that night Bill visited me.

Skyler was on a mountain. The world stretched around her in a rainbow of colors. A soft breeze blew, getting stronger and lifting her in the air. Suddenly, her whole body froze up, she couldn't even blink. "Relax, It's just me," Bill Ciphers voice came form behind her. Slowly, ever so slowly, she could move her fingers, then her toes. Soon she could turn her head, but she couldn't see Bill. After what felt like hours, or mabye a few minutes, she could move freely. She turned around, but Bill was gone. She sighed and flew around the mountains, enjoying the feeling of movement.

I slowly woke up, then stretched and yawned. Only after I was on my way to the bus did I relize none of my amrs or legs locked up. Did Bill fix me already? What am I thinking, Bill Cipher is just a character form a TV show. It was just a dream.

But nothing unusual happened to me at all that day, or the day after. I was starting to think Bill Cipher was real, but soon I had another appointment, and I would find out if I realy was cured.

"We're not sure if it's permanent, but. . . She seems to be completely healed," The docter concluded.

I smiled slightly. I knew it. Somehow, someway, Bill Cipher was real.

Did that mean Gravity Falls was real as well?

Mom called me, and told me we were going to eat out tonight, so I didn't think about Bill untill he came to me in another dream that night.

The girl was in her bedroom looking out the window when a light shone behind her. She turned around and saw Bill Cipher floating above her bed.

"Hello again, Skyler! I see your doing well," Bill chuckled.

I couldn't help but smile, after all, he did save my life. "Hello, Bill."

"I KNOW what you're like, so I'll cut to the chase. I've fulfiled my half of the deal, and now It's time for you to return the favor," He said "know" demon-like, probably reminding me that he was all-seeing.

"Oh, yeah. Something about a key?" A feeling of dread crept over me.

"Yesss." Bill hissed. He seemed excited, he was glowing alot more than usual.

"What kind of key do you want?" My voice trembled a little.

"Silly girl, you should already know what I want. . ."

I started to feel sick.

". . .I need to get out of this horrible Dreamscape. Oddly, you have a huge amount of excess energy. Just what I need to make a portal out of this place."

I did know it would be something like that. Though I thought it would include more body possesion. I gulped, "What do you need me to do?"

"I just neeed you to relax. I won't take too much energy. . ." I suddenly got tired, even though I was technicly asleep. The world was going dark around me, and just as I slipped deeper into unconsiousness, Bill whispered, ". . .Maybe."

I woke up feeling exhasted. "Ugh, what happened," I soon remebered my dream, then guessed that was why. I forced myself to get up and go to school, but I was having trouble focusing, I was so tired. When the bell finally rang, I was still just as sleepy.

"What's a matter, sweetie?" Mom asked me when I trugged inside.

"Tired. Gonna lay down," I mumbled.

"Okay. . .but if you need me, I'll be down here."

I plopped down on my bed, wondering how to contact Bill. Maybe I should just say his name?

"Bill Cipher?" I waited anxiously for a few minutes, then tried calling him in my mind. Bill Cipher! Eventually, he came.

"What do you want, Skyler? I'm busy!" Bill snapped after he appeared from a poster on her wall.

"I want to know what's up. I woke up exhasted," Skyler snapped back.

"What, you think taking someone's energy is easy? I'm not exactly refreshed either," Bill did seem week, somehow. He was barely glowing, and instead of floating he sat down on the windowseel.

"How long will this take?"

"Just a few more days, fourtunately. Is that everything? Okay BYE!" He snapped his fingers and was gone.
