Chapter 10

This was it. Bill had finished the preperations, now all I had to do was go in the swirling portal in front of me. My energy was arcing around me, some if it entering the portal.

"Skyler!" Dipper screamed behind me, "Don't go!"

"Stay back, I don't want you to get hurt." but he walked closer. Of course.

"I have to do this, Dipper. But you can always summon me, I'll have control of my powers then," I smiled weakly.

"But you wont be real, and how will we stop Bill?" he begged.

I looked back at the portal. "Once I leave, he'll have to come with me.

"But why would he break your deal now? None of this makes sence, Skyler."

"I don't know why he would break it. Maybe this was his plan all along."

Bill suddenly appeared next to me, "Time to go."

I nodded my head. "Goodbye, Dipper," I said, then whispered, "Goodbye, Mom."

We stepped into the portal.

"You'll need a new form. A human just won't do," Bill said to me when we got to the Dreamscape. It was the Pine forest from my dream. "How about a triangle?"

"I'm not going to copy you. How did you find your form?"

"I've always been this way," he shrugs.

I sigh and close my eyes. I take deep breath and let my mind wander.

"Is that the best you can do?"

"Are there any mirrors around here?" I asked.

"Just make one." he replies.

"Oh, yeah," I closed my eyes again, and felt somthing cold in my hand. I opened it and saw a mirror.

"You don't have to try so hard. Like this," He snapped his wrist, and an identical mirror apeared.

"Well I'm new to this, remember?" I looked in my mirror, and saw I was almost the same, but with black hair, claws, pointed teeth, and a long black cat's tail. My eyes were different, too. They were yellow with slit pupils, like Bill's. Hmm, I don't remember doing that. "I think I look good," I said.

Dippers POV:

The portal closed behind Skyler, and I slumped to the ground. How? How could she do somthing like this?" Mable came up behind me and put her hand on m shoulder.

"It's alright, Dipper. I saw all of it."

"What are we going to tell her parents?"

"Maybe we should tell him her Mom picked her up?"

I sighed. "Wait! She said we could summon her any time! Let's do it right now!

Skylers POV:

"Is all of the Dreamscape like this?" I asked Bill while I sat in a tree and watched some birds make a nest.

"No, just my part." he replied.

"There are other Demons?" I asked, surprised.

"I don't know. I can't leave my section unless someone on the other side opens it. You're here becouse we entered at the same time."

"Oh." I was silent for awhile. "So, what do you do to pass the time here?"

"I watch people. That's how I know lot's of things. I could show you how, it's easy."

"Sure. There isn't much else to do here," I follow him to a circular pond.

He dips his finger in and says "Mystery Shack" The water swirls, then clears showing the Mystery Shack like were were floating above it.

"Neat! Hey, there's Dipper. What's he doing with those candles?"

Bill's eye widened, "He's trying to summon you. We don't have much time. I have to tell you something."

"What?" I asked, woried.

"When a Dream Demon is summoned for the first time, he has to grant the summoner one wish to the best of the demon's capabilities. It's such an old rule I alomst forgot about it."

Dipper started to chant.

"Okay, but he probably doesn't know that."

"No, he does. See you soon!" Bill said, then Dipper finished. The world faded away, then reapeared as Gravity Falls, but it was all grey.

"Hello, Dipper," I said.

"Skyler, is that you? You look. . .different," Dipper said, confused.

"Yes, It's me. What do you want?" I was slightly annoyed, Bill hadn't finished teaching me, and I wasn't sure what to do.

"I found a secret message in my journal. It says when a Dream Demon is first summoned, they have to grant the summoner one wish," he finished.

"Alright, 'You're wish is my command,'" I said like a genie.

"I want you to," he paused and took a deep breath, "to use my energy to make a portal out of the Dreamscape."

"What, Dipper, you don't have spare enrgy like I do, er, did."

"I don't care! You're supposed to be a human, not a demon. I command you to do it." he stood straighter and closed his eyes.

"I don't know how, Dipper," I said quietly.

"Then ask Bill, he knows," he growled.

"O-okay," Bill, I know you're watching. What am I supposed to do?

Just follow my lead, He replied. I soon felt stronger, and I saw some tiny wisps coming off of Dipper. Got it? Good. Bill said, then I felt him letting go.

I was so scared I was going to kill him, and when he blacked out I almost stopped, but Bill shouted, No, keep going! I clenched my teeth, and when I felt the stream of enrgy weakening, I stopped.

Once again, I had energy zapping all around me, but this time I could control it.

"I'm sorry, Dipper," I brushed my tail against his cheek, then flew to a waiting Bill Cipher.

"You did great," He clapped his hand on my back and opened the portal back to the Dreamscape.
