I do not own any of the Gravity Falls characters. They belong to Alex Hirsch, I only own my oc.

The world is bright, blinding. I bury my face in the warm thing that holds me. It smells of hot glue, pancakes, and metal. I slowly look up squinting in the light…glasses, brown eyes, grey hair, a familiar red ribbon tie. I give the man a small smile, I know who he is.

"Grunkle Stan? Why did she just call you dad?" A bubbly voice ask.

I look over to find the girl in pink shooting star sweater, her big confused smile shows off that she has braces. I blink slowly at her and offer my own confused smile.

"Because Mabel she is my daughter and the draito is a class-A jerk." The man...no Dad answers her.

"...Grunkle?" I furrow my brows together still quiet daze from how long i've been unconsance .

"Oh! It's short for great uncle!" The girl...Mabel speaks.

" oh...ok…[Dad... did Uncle Sixer have kids?]" I slowly turn to look at him.

"Um...no. The... the other one." Daddy answers after a couple beats… he must have forgotten german.

BANG!

We all look and see a floating triangle.

"Well, well, well… look what we here, a big happy family reunion. You thought you could trick me. Frosty over there is my property."

Dad just hugs me closer to him as if that will protect me for the monster looming before us.

My mind is clear of the fog, that has plagued me for years. Taking notice for the first time the others including Soos and is that Wendy. They must be the rust of the zodiac circle. Returning my attention back to Bill, I know there is only so many way this can end.

"Cipher! I will not let you hurt my family!" A man shouts, he looks like dad but with six fingers...he must be Uncle Sixer.

I suddenly feel even more exhausted like I could sleep forever… oh… it must be Bill draining me again.

"Oh," Bill burst into flames and grows bigger," What are you going to do Sixer!"

I look around me at all these strangers, I know some of course but it's been so long that their stranger to me, even Dad. But they all look ready to fight, and to defend each other.

They won't win; not with me here… not with me alive. If any of them get hurt it will my fault.

I can't let them get hurt.

Stranger or not I'll do my best to protect them too.

"Bill," I speak up softly my voice is sore from disuse," leave them alone."

Everyone turns to me.

"Oh and what will you give for that?!" Bill asks mockingly. He knows there is nothing else I can give him. He already has want he wants from me.

The group looks at me confused but get Bill is offering a deal, they protest.

"Be quiet, let Frosty think." Bill snaps his fingers, magic hand pull them all down and covers their mouths.

I look over at Dad, he's fighting desperately. He doesn't want to lose me again. I give him a small sad smile.

I turn around and ask.

"How about a little game?"
