A/N: For everyone wondering – yes, I'm exaggerating on Dipper's hate on Mabel. You might think it's a bad thing that I do a 'mistake' even when I know it. But you're wrong. It's not a mistake. The first day I started to write the fan-fiction, when I went to bed, I got an idea for a later chapter. I decided to exaggerate it for it to feel genuine when we get there. Enjoy! :D
Dipper's P.O.V. (omg two chapters after each other with the same P.O.V. (gasp))
It was Mabel.
"What are you doing here, Mabel?!" – I shouted
"Umm…" – Mabel started – "I… I… was checking if…"
"Spit it already!" – I rushed her
"…the plan worked…" – she responded
I gasped. I got what was happening. Mabel (and/or others) asked Pacifica to cheer me up.
I looked at Pacifica angrily. Ugh! Why does everybody do this to me?!
"Everybody…" – I started calmly – "GET OUT OF THIS ROOM!" – Mabel wanted to say something but I looked at her with a "get out of here… now" look.
"I had a better conversation with Bill then with every single one of you." – I murmured. Then I realized what I've done.
"Well, well…" – Bill started as everything started to lose color – "…I see you're starting to see why I talked to you."
"What do you want again?" – I screamed – "Please, leave me alone."
"Learning to ask politely from a demon, huh?" – Bill joked – "Well, it took you a while."
"Fine." – I murmured – "Tell me what you want to say."
"Finally!" – "So, I saw how much the incident today hit you. I thought to myself: 'Hey! How can I make Pine Tree feel better?' So after a lot of thinking, I answered myself: 'Maybe go back to the past and make Mabel stop the machine of course.'"
I raised my hand, trying to say that-
"...With no time paradoxes." – he finished.
"What's the catch of the deal?" – I asked.
"Aw," – Bill started – "Nothing much. I'll just force McGucket to erase all the things you've learned about Gravity Falls since the start of the summer."
"What?! Never!" – I answered
"So," – Bill started – "…you care more about this town's mysteries than your own sibling…"
There was a moment of silence.
"I like you."
He raised his hand and lit it up with the blue fire. "Your choice, Dipper." This was the first time he ever called me Dipper.
"I…I…I…" – I started – "N-no."
Bill sighed.
"You know what stops you, Pine Tree?" – Bill asked – "You're weak. Think about every time you caused a problem because you were too weak to face it on your own. The fight with Robbie, the fact that you couldn't tell Ice your secret when you knew you were in grave danger, and many more."
Could all of that be true? Could I be too weak to face stuff like this? Wait a minute…
"Heh, heh." – I chuckled – "I see you're getting scared, Bill."
"W-what?" – he asked – "What are you talking about?"
"You're scared that I won't accept the deal." – I started – "You're as weak as me," – I paused – "…Even weaker."
I could see him getting redder and redder.
"You can't keep being in denial forever!" – he started – "You'll eventually accept it. Eventually."
He said as he left and I woke up on the floor.
I went down the stairs to find a crying Mabel. That conversation with Bill hasn't made anything better, to be honest. I just can't get over this. The way she betrayed me…
"What are you doing here?" – Mabel said, sobbing.
"I was just getting some milk…"
"Wake up, kid." – Stan said – "The fridge is empty."
"How come?" – I asked.
"If there would be an apocalypse and you would have no home and found an open fridge with milk in it, what would you do?" – he asked.
"Steal the milk, of course." – I answered.
"There's the answer to your question."
"Why is everybody in such a bad mood?" – I asked curiously.
Everybody currently in the room looked at me. Oh, right.
Stanley came in the room.
"Go to bed kids!" – he ordered – "Tomorrow we're going to the bunker early in the morning. Pack everything you need. We won't be out of there for years.
"What?!" – I asked – "We can't just hide! Bill is an immortal demon!"
"Got a better idea?" – Stanley asked.
"Actually…" – I started – "I think I do. Do you know that circle thingy around Bill when he gets out of somebody's mind?"
"The Cipher Wheel." – Stanley said to himself – "OF COURSE!"
A/N: Sudden ending again!
Sorry that this is so short. I just gotta go to bed. Bye!
