A/N: Hello peeps! Back at it again with another chapter!

I won't talk long, but I've come up with a uploading schedule that may work. A new chapter will be posted every 2-3 days. That way it'll give me time to write more before the next chapter comes up. Meaning that, unless I get writer's block, there won't be a long time between updates.

HURRAY!

Also, to answer We Are Renegade Rebels' question: Unfortunately, the Pines will not be meeting the different Ciphers. Only Macie and Macon will. Sorry :(


Chapter One: Two Sides of the Coin


LOCATION: MYSTERY SHACK, GRAVITY FALLS

UNIVERSE: GRAVITY FALLS

TIME: 5:30 PM

"Remind me again why we're doing this?"

Bill looked up from where he was painting yet another egg. The floor of the living room was covered with newspaper, paint, liquid glitter, and broken eggs staining it. Neither him nor Mabel or immune from the mess either. Mabel didn't look up from where she was injecting the liquid glitter into an egg, making sure to not make the small hole any bigger. "We're going to go egg some other tourist attractions. But I figured we could make it pretty!" She held the egg in a triumphant stance.

"Thus, my Glitter Egg Bombs were born!"

Bill simply nodded, going back to his task. He coated the egg in another layer of blue paint, making the shade a bit darker before placing it down to dry. Picking up another egg he held a syringe with purple glitter liquid in it, carefully chipping a small hole in it and draining the yolk from inside. It was a long process. In fact, the two of them have been doing this for three hours or so. 'And we have yet to fill the baskets,' he thought, glancing over at the offending objects. Only one was full.

The door swung open.

"Welcome back!"

"Hey," Dipper said, stepping into the living room. "I don't know why, but Bill's got-What are you two doing?"

Mabel smiled. "We're making Glitter Egg Bombs!"

Dipper gave Mabel of look of disbelief. "I...Okay. Not even going to question it." He turned to Bill. In his hand he held a yellow envelope, a black eye printed on it. "You have a letter Bill."

Bill made a questioning sound, taking the letter despite the paint on his hands. Opening it he took the paper out, unfolding it to its original size.

The note read as followed:

Dear Bill Cipher,

Hi! It's been such a long time since I've seen you! Heard in the rumour mill that you settled down. Congratulations! I personally would never see myself in your situation. Either way, I hope that you're being treated wonderfully. I would hate for my dear cousin to be wronged once again :(

But! I have exciting news! I, Bella 'Bell' Cipher, am inviting you to a gathering at my place in two days. I'm sure you know where that is. The other three are coming as well, though I doubt you know two of them. Don't worry! I assure you they won't hurt you.

If you can't make it, I understand. But if you can then that's even better! Just make sure you inform your mother of this, okay? Tell her I said hi. I do miss her cooking.

If you wish for more details, you know how to reach me.

Bill read the letter out loud, both twins listening with interest. Once he was finished Bill looked at the two before sighing. "Bell's from another branch descended from Lucifer. I've only met her a handful of times."

"Are you going?"

"I don't exactly have a choice." Bill stood, stretching. "She'll know whether or not I decided to skip out, Pinetree. Better I go and suffer than wait and suffer even more."

"You should totally take some pictures," Mabel suggested, "so we can see what they look like! I didn't know you had more family!"

"It's not something that's brought up often. Usually the different lines stay where they are and only interact if necessary." Bill smiled softly. "But...sure. I'll see what I can do."

"Yes!"


LOCATION: GLEEFUL MANSION, GRAVITY FALLS
UNIVERSE: REVERSE FALLS
TIME: 10:45 AM

Often times Will would make breakfast. It wasn't because of the contract-which, even if they forgot it existed, never truly left-now, and it was more of a thing engraved into his memory. That said, ever since Ford was arrested by the government and Stan took over as the twins main caretaker, Will had made an effort to teach them how to make food themselves. Stan still didn't have a grasp on how the world worked now. And Will had wanted to make sure they could provide for themselves should they ever decide to leave the town.

Mabel was decidedly better at baking and cooking more than Mason. But she had the tendency to add non-edible ingredients- something she would forever blame Pacifica for-to it. Mason could make simple, small things. However he had the tendency to set fire to things that shouldn't even be able to combust.

Which is why when Will woke up to the fire alarm and the scent of something burning in the air, he knew exactly what was going on.

It was easy to fix the mess that the twins had made. Despite their protest saying that could in fact clean it up themselves, Will had all but booted them out of the ruined kitchen with a half-hearted apology. When the damage was a minimized as it could get he settled on making just making some waffles with a side of eggs and bacon. Combined with years of experience and the urgency to feed more than likely cranky teens Will got the job done in record time.

Now was the matter of making sure nothing else got ruined.

Mason and Mabel ate their breakfast with little conversation, Will sitting a seat away from Dipper and eating his own food. There was silence for quite a while as a different worker came to take away the dirty dishes. It was suffocating. Finally Mabel broke the silence, saying, "Thanks for the meal."

"You don't have to say that," Will responded, light pink spreading. Even after all these years he could never get used to a compliment. "I just figured that you guys were really hungry, is all."

"I'm more than sure you were trying to fix our...mistakes."

"It was all Dipper's fault! He wanted to make you breakfast in bed and everything!"

Mason glared weakly at his sister. "Mabel-"

"It's true! So, so true! He was so adorable asking for help! You should've seen it!"

Will laughed weakly. 'It's way too early for this…'

"Excuse me."

A butler stood at the entrance of the dining room, a blue envelope resting on a silver platter. "I have mail for Mister Will." The upstanding employee moved towards where Will sat. Placing the letter down he took his leave. Will looked at the mail. It had a white eye drawn on it, similar to his triangle form. Taking a glance at the twins Will opened the letter.

It read as followed:

Dear Will Cipher,

HI BABY BROTHER! How are you? I miss you SO much! It's been such a long time. Are those kids treating you right? I hope so. I know you didn't want me to do anything to them. Such a sweetheart for a Cipher. A true gem, that you are.

And I have such exciting news! I, Bella 'Bell' Cipher, am inviting you to a gathering at my place in two days. You know where that is. The other three are coming as well. Don't worry, I'll make sure they don't tease you too much.

If you can't make it, I completely understand. I'll just visit on my own terms. But if you can, even better! Just make sure you tell those two, okay? I would hate for you to get in trouble.

P.S. Dad said he wishes you would call more. That old man was always such a sap! :P

Will read the letter in his hand before Mason took it and read it out loud. A look of interest flashed on his face. "I was unaware that you had family," he said, side eyeing Will.

Will gulped. "We-well, I never thought to bring it up. Never really seemed important until now."

"She sounds fun," Mabel added. "I say we let him go. What do you think Dipper?"

Will looked at Mason hopefully. "Can I?" He didn't need permission, not really. The worrying thoughts would calm down if he did.

Mason closed his eyes, placing the letter on the table. "...Alright. I'll allow it."

Will smiled brightly.


Q&A time~!

Q: Bill has a mother?

A: Yes. You see, the idea of Bill having a family started as a crack idea that evolved. His mother is named Lou Cipher, often referred to as the 'Second Coming of Lucifer'. He also has a father, a sister, and a brother(who is Gompers, btw).

Q: But who are they?

A: Bill's father is Illumi N. Cipher, and he's more or less the Illuminati. His sister is Sceles, and she works for the inter-dimensional police. And yes, these names were intended to be funny in some way. It grew on us.

Q: What's up with the Lucifer bit?

A: Also came as a crack idea. Lou Cipher sounds like Lucifer, so me and Ketchup Sauce Cat decided that Lou would be a descendant from Lucifer. All of the Ciphers present are descended from Lucifer, albeit from different branches. There's more to that later in the story.

Q: What's up with the Reverse Pines?

A: In my mind the Gleeful Twins are like their regular counterparts, but excessive use of magic sort of corrupted them in way. After the loss of the amulets they slowly started getting over it, which is why they act like this now. That and I always felt like how the fandom typically portrays them didn't fit with my tastes, so I changed it up a bit.

Q: Bell and Will are siblings? Why?

A: This came as a last minute thing. I thought it would be funny if someone like Will was related to someone like Bell.

Until next time!
