Nerdytimelord: I need more Fiddleford yes. That is a major point I forget, and need to work on, I have trouble writing his speech patterns though. Melody will return, at some point.

Guest: Nope on the Love Potion thing, never gonna do that ever. Nor will I bring Bill back. I apologize I get that people like him, but he was a psychopath, An awful Psychopath, also bringing him back would subtract from Lady Willow as a villain. Lil'Gideon shall show up again, though after his transformation he seems a bit angry at Dipper, and we all know you can't trust someone who still has enforcers hang around with him.

What to expect for this chapter is simple: Pacifica stuff. Monsters. Very little Lady Willow.


Pacifica winced once more as she touched the burn across her waist. She was trying not to move to much, but the low hum of pain remained. She was sitting down, she used the term lightly, in truth she was coiled up like a cobra, the top of her body was normal but below that she had her tail curled around itself so that she could sit properly. Dipper had returned with a first aid kit and a guide.

"Ok take off your top." He said hurriedly putting the two down on the table.

"What?" Pacifica said blushing.

"I need to see the burn to deal with it, so you need to take off your top." Dipper was awkwardly rubbing the back of his head.

"Nope, I'll just let it heal naturally if that's what it takes." Pacifica replied.

"Fine if you don't want me to do it Mabel could try." Dipper said angrily.

Pacifica frowned, Mabel was both half-conscious and floating in a giant hamster ball, the chances of getting any type of decent medical aid from her was low. As she was preparing a sarcastic reply Wendy strolled in, looking around.

"What's burning?" She asked sniffing the air.

"Pacifica." Mabel replied laughing as she swirled around in her tank.

"Wendy can help with the burns she's probably better at it than you anyway Dipper." Pacifica said before anyone else could say anything.

"Fine." Dipper replied stepping back with his hands in the air.

"Ok, wait whats going on?" Wendy asked, looking around confused.

"Apparently your going to apply first aid to Pacifica's burns." Dipper replied, striding out of the room.

"Ok, someone explain better than that." Wendy said, looking at the two girls. Mabel giggled swirling around in her pool of water. Pacifica sighed, "I got hit by a fireball from a fire demon, so I need help tending to my burns, Dipper wanted me to take off my top, but I'm not doing that while he's in the room, Mabel hit her head on the side of her Hamster Ball, so the duty falls to you."

"Whatever, take off your shirt then, I'll see what I can do." Wendy said without reacting at all to the fact that they had been attacked by a monster called a fire demon. Pacifica took off her top, leaving only her underwear, Wendy examined the burn marks on Pacifica's waist, the area was red and burnt, she took a moment to move, her first action was to wash the burns. She then applied some cool water to the area of the burn, and began to bandage them up. However as she did she couldn't help but notice some older bruises and scars along her arms and on her shoulders. "Those bruises are old, where'd you get them?"

Pacifica blinked as Wendy asked, almost as if the question was obvious, "I broke the rules my parents set, so I got punished."

Wendy shivered, the girl's parents had always been an obvious bad influence, definitely monsters, but that was worse than Wendy imagined, not that Pacifica had been physically abused, but that the girl didn't even seem to realize it was a problem, or that it was anything out of the ordinary, the girl saw it as a fact of life, not as a cruel and unusual way of dealing with disobedience. Wendy wanted to say something, but she doubted anything she said could help the girl, and telling Dipper would probably just make matters worse, so she would either have to ignore it, or spend a couple hours explaining what family was normally like.

"Listen, I'm not going to try and push into your life, but those bruises, that isn't how normal parents react to their kid breaking the rules. You need to consider what they want you to be, and what you want to be. I won't tell anyone about the bruises, but you should tell someone." Wendy said, looking at the younger girl, in a lot of ways Mabel had been like a little Sister to Wendy, something she had never had, but she had never felt the need to jump in and save Mabel, Mabel wasn't smart, but she had survival instincts, and could survive almost anything, Mabel often needed help with guys, and some emotional support, but Pacifica, the girl despite being everything Wendy hated, was actually really screwed up, despite her bratty teen act, she needed help, and if Wendy needed to provide that help so be it.


Dipper stepped out the front door with a worried expression on his face, after almost two weeks he hadn't been able to find a cure for their condition, he was wondering what that meant for their chances of getting one before the end of the summer, maybe even the end of the year. Frowning he looked down and saw a light brown bundle on the ground, it wasn't particularly large, as Dipper picked it up it shifted, suggesting there were two things tied together inside. As he looked at the label a grin spread across his face, all the worry washed away. He rushed inside putting the bundle down on the table, as he tore away the packaging it revealed two books. One was a pale blue with a golden Pine tree on it, the other was a red-pink with a golden Shooting Star symbol. The first one had notes on some of the new creatures Ford and Stan had encountered, the kraken, a creature known as a Hel-hound, Imps, and there were three pages on the different types of Merpeople they had found on their journeys and how they differed, but that all together was only the first quarter of the book, the rest was blank, as Dipper turned to the first blank page he found a note, Dipper, I've given this to you as a way to note all the anomalies and strange new creatures you notice in Gravity Falls. Anything of interest can go in here.

Dipper laughed, all the things of interest, if Ford had only known then. He had the legs of a deer, Mabel was stuck in a Hamster Ball, Wendy was a werewolf, or maybe just a wolfperson. Things of interest would need to be narrowed down. The obvious thing he needed to draw was Lady Willow, in a way that took note of her faerie features, including her seeming control over parts of nature. The stream was the second obvious choice, and then there was the Fire Demon, which the journal had no notes on. Of course he needed help drawing those things, which indicated that it would be more difficult for him. He briefly thought Mabel could do the drawings, but then remembered she was stuck in water, and she also had missed out on seeing all of the things he wanted to draw. He would cross the bridge when he came to it.

Pacifica and Wendy emerged from the other room, Pacifica seemed annoyed about something, and Wendy looked somewhat worried. Mabel rolled in after them, and from the expression on her face, she would not be able to tell Dipper anything about what had happened.

"Dipper, we should try and find the ashes of that Fire Demon, you never know, it might have some magical power to come back to life or something." Pacifica said, looking around the shack, it seemed somewhat like an excuse, but Dipper did think it would be wise.

"Probably for the best, we can go store it with the Unicorn Blood." Dipper replied, he disappeared down stairs into the underground laboratory, appearing a couple moments later with a small glass vial. As the group headed out into the yard Dipper looked around for the ash of the Fire Demon, for a while he thought it would be hard, as a lot of the area was surrounded by dust, or the ash left from the creatures footprints. As Dipper examined the clearing though he noticed the Ash quickly, he knew it was the Fire Demon's because it was glowing bright red, it still felt warm as Dipper brushed the ash into the vial, and then pushed the lid in sealing it. "Well, that's that problem solved, now what?"

"You mentioned something about Unicorn's Blood? How did you get Unicorn's blood?" Pacifica asked a hand on her hip.

"Ask Mabel, it was her adventure not mine." Dipper said, as he headed towards the basement. Pacifica blinked watching him as he left, "Whats that supposed to mean?"


Fiddleford Mcgucket was panicking, he had a slight stubble, and he was pulling at his white hair, his ears had grown somewhat sharp and pointy, and his eyes were wild, his nose and grown more pointed and thin. His teeth were sharper, and he enjoyed seizing gold and other shimmering objects when he had the chance. "Stupid curse, should'a warned the boy, no messing with the Fae, nosirree. Now its all coming to an end, and we've got no way to fight them. Ooh shiny."

Fiddleford slapped himself after the last comment, "No Mcgucket you've got to stay focussed, you've got to warn them about the... What was it? Oh Donkey-spittle now I've gone and forgotten all about it."

The man pulled at his patched and torn labcoat, "Well, I reckon I've got some inventing to do."

Fiddleford's expression of worry had left his face, and a blank dull look had replaced it, as if he had forgotten his last five minutes of shouting. The man turned and walked straight back into his inventing room, which had once been the portrait room for the Northwest's family history, including several of their actions that were more on the side of evil.


The air was crisp and clear, there were no clouds, no shadows danced upon the earth, the babbling of a nearby stream mixed with the wind brushing gently through the trees, and the light calling of the birds. The grass was soft underfoot, and the smell of flowers filled the air. It was beautiful, and in other ways terrifying, it was older than the cities man had built, and stronger than stone, lying broken slightly hidden by the fallen leaves was a statue, overgrown with moss and ivy, it looked centuries old worn by wind and weather, and in a way it was, and in other ways it had existed for only for a year.

It was the schism, a thing that shown of a powerful tear in reality. It was the grave of Bill Cipher, a memorial, a place of contradictions, because the sky hadn't burst open, the world hadn't burnt, the Demon King hadn't risen, but all the same he had, he had torn apart the world, created his apocalypse, risen to power in the dark evening sky, but that was a passing dream, a passing day. The place was filled with magic. Old Magic.

The world was filled with secrets, but the darkened presence here was fiery, the magic was unstable and different, it was the strange magic of a Paradox, two different realities tried to exist at once, but could not, and thus the reaction was energy, dark energy and light energy. It did not truly matter. Lady Willow bent over the statue smiling, "Thank You Cipher, lord of fools, and master of dreams. In your arrogance you have created something both intriguing, and powerful. It would have been overlooked before, but now, no it can be overlooked no more. So, you do have your purpose, still if there were another way I'd have preferred it. You have for many many eons been out of friends, that is why you called to him isn't it, because you wanted a second chance, it is unfortunate I shall recognize you when the time comes, but this statue, it shall be important, it holds a little bit of your power. Goodbye Cipher, it was wonderful seeing you turned into stone and crumbling."


Pacifica looked over Dipper's shoulder as he attempted to draw the Fire Demon, she sighed, "That isn't right at all, his head was way smaller, and his eyes were much more fiery. His body was much more proportional as well."

"Do you want to try this, you're welcome to it." Dipper said shoving the book and pencil over to her, she shrugged, "I'll give it a try."

After a few minutes she shoved the book back to him, drawn with reasonable detail and skill was the Fire Demon, though she'd made his hair more wavy and fiery than he'd remembered the drawing wasn't bad, it was at least equal to the normal drawing skills of his sister. "This is actually pretty good, um, you want to draw Lady Willow, we should take notes on everything."

"Whatever. I'm only doing this so you can't complain about me not helping out with things." Pacifica said, turning to the next page and beginning a sketch of the Fae woman. After an hour of drawing and comparing notes, the two were done.

"So, if this is what life is like in the Shack everyday I think I could get used to it, not super used to it, but reasonably so, I still miss my parents and I want to return to my old life, but maybe for the rest of the summer, until we get the cure." Pacifica said, with an awkwardness that made Dipper relieved.

"Oh look the Perfect Ice Queen finally acts awkward. I wasn't aware you were allowed to do that." Dipper said with a grin.

"Of course I am, I can do whatever I want." Pacifica said, her voice was filled with a cold-dispassionate pride, as if it was programmed into her.

"Sure you can Princess." Dipper replied.

"Princess?" Pacifica asked with an eyebrow raised.

"You're rich, bratty, and a teenager, sounds like a Princess to me, anyway I was joking." Dipper said.

"Whatever you say Dip-dop." Pacifica replied, a smug grin forming across her face.

"Well, I'm going to be honest I shouldn't have used the nickname, it seems to be a mistake, a huge mistake." Dipper said turning away with his journal.

"You're right on that one Pines." Pacifica replied.


This was actually hard to write as I was half distracted, didn't know what I was doing and was basically entirely unsure about the chapter as a whole. I'm also unsure of what I'm doing with Mabel who can't walk, so it's hard for her to be included in adventures, Fiddleford will show up more, I just need to figure out a proper role for him. Lil'Gideon's going to be a major part of future plotlines, but I need to get through parts of the summer first.

So once again Review, and I hope you enjoyed. I'm trying to focus a bit on Pacifica, Wendy will slowly show up more, but her appearances will fluctuate. So yeah. Full Moon stuff might be next chapter, might not.
