A/N: Hey, everyone. So yeah, I'm back again...with an actual chapter this time. Since I know I have at least one person still reading this story, I'm going to keep working on it...though it's almost done now anyway. I feel like there are only like 1-2 chapters left in this story, plus an epilogue. So yeah...that's pretty much it. Not a whole lot left to say. Enjoy the chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Gravity Falls or Undertale characters...I already have a ton of my own to play with.

Mabel couldn't remember the last time she'd seen her old bedroom. Well okay technically she could, it had been three years ago, but still—it had been three years.

She didn't even remember falling asleep, the last thing she remembered was being in the car with Dipper and their parents as they drove away from the sirens. But now here she was, having been jerked awake only to be greeted by pink walls covered with posters of kittens, boy band Sever'l Timez, and other various girlish things.

"Augh!" Mabel bolted upright in bed, flashes still replaying in her mind. They were brief, and she couldn't remember them all that well, but they'd been enough to startle her out of sleep.

As she started to calm down, Mabel looked around at everything. It was all coming back to her…that arrowhead she and Dipper had found during their camping trip, the lock of Dylan Stillman's hair she cut off when she had a crush on him back in second grade, the large stuffed cat that sat on her desk…

"They kept it the same…"

Mabel felt tears of happiness come to her eyes. Everything was so different, yet so familiar. Here she was back in her old room, in her old house. It was like she never left. Mabel reached up to wipe a tear away with her sleeve…and a glimpse of white bone peeked through. Mabel froze for a moment.

Slowly she unclenched her hand, and long, skeletal fingers uncurled before her eye sockets.

She was still a skeleton. But why? This could have, SHOULD have, been perfect…she was back in her old family home with her parents, who were overjoyed to have their kids back. She and Dipper both could have gotten back to their old lives, been normal kids again…but they weren't. Whatever it was that had made them human had faded, and they were back to their old bony selves.

And, quite possibly, hiding from the law. Mabel felt fresh new tears come to her eyes, and closed them tightly, feeling the tears run down her face.

This wasn't fair! Why weren't she and Dipper allowed to stay human?! To just return to the human world without having to worry about people trying to hurt them, and just live with their parents again?! To be happy?!

Mabel was pulled from her thoughts by a knock on the door.

"Mabel? You up?"

It was Dipper's voice.

"Yeah, I'm up!" Mabel answered, quickly wiping the tears from her eyes. "You okay, bro-bro?"

"I'm fine…can I come in?" Dipper asked.

"Um…sure?" Mabel answered uncertainly. She DID want to be alone right now, but she also needed someone to talk to.

The knob turned, and Dipper stepped inside the room. He looked around the room, his eye sockets widening in surprise.

"I forgot how PINK this place was." Dipper scowled, and Mabel actually couldn't help but laugh. Dipper just looked at her and let out a sigh.

"…they didn't throw out all my old action figures."

"Your action figures?" Mabel parroted.

"Yeah." Dipper nodded. "They kept them around, like they wanted to keep my room the way it was. Like they always expected me to come back." He smiled sadly at the ground, and Mabel leaned back a little in her bed.

"What do we do?"

Before Dipper could answer, their mom's voice sounded from downstairs.

"Kids! Time for breakfast!"

Dipper looked his sister dead in the eye.

"We eat with our parents."

Needless to say, Mabel was hesitant to go down to the kitchen. Now that the excitement and everything was over, she would actually be seeing her parents.

As a skeleton.

Mabel couldn't stop her hands from shaking as she looked through her closet for some clothes that would (hopefully) still fit her.

It's okay! She tried to convince herself. Mom and Dad still love us…they told us last night! They don't care if me and Dipper are skeletons now!

Somehow, Mabel was able to put together an outfit…one that was pretty close to the clothes she normally wore in the Underground. A t-shirt, hoodie, and shorts. For some reason she couldn't explain, it just felt comfortable right now.

Mabel sighed heavily, stepping outside…and froze as she saw what her brother was wearing. Neon green shorts, a trucker hat, and a shirt reading 'Cool Guy'.

Mabel tried hard to stifle her laughter, but Dipper heard it anyway.

"It was all I could find, okay?!"

"Alright…Cool Guy!" Mabel burst out laughing even harder, and Dipper rolled his eyes before walking downstairs. Mabel followed him, and the twins were greeted with the smell of waffles, eggs, and bacon.

Mabel felt a lump form in her throat as they got closer to the kitchen.

Well, here goes nothing…

"Ford?"

"Old goat?!"

"King Ford? You are alive!"

Pacifica, Robbie, and Soos all talked as one, and Ford looked around at each of them.

"I must admit, I'm a bit surprised to see you all here." The former king sighed heavily. "Though I suppose it's for everyone's benefit…"

"Why?!" Pacifica snapped before she could stop herself. "So you can take our souls?!"

"No, this isn't about…"

"I know what you did!" Pacifica continued, never wavering. "Just hurting humans wasn't good enough for you, was it?! You had to go after your own kind too, so you could create some big super mega-monster!"

"Kid!"

"Pacifica!"

Pacifica knew she was being impudent, but at the moment, she didn't care.

"You used dead monsters for your sick experiments, and you made Robbie do all your dirty work so you could go on killing humans and stealing their souls!"

"I never wanted any of this!" Ford protested. "I just wanted to free my people!"

He sighed heavily.

"I had no choice. Monster souls aren't strong enough to cross the barrier. Only a human soul could. And with seven of them…"

"You'd have just killed a bunch of humans whose only crime was falling down here."

Pacifica's heart stopped at the voice.

Ford looked up to see his twin brother as he entered the lab, an angry look on his face.

"Stanley…"

"Don't 'Stanley' me, you murderer." Stan spat venomously. Ford started to say something, then stopped himself. He looked absolutely defeated.

Suddenly, Pacifica remembered something.

"Old go…Stan! He's coming back! Bill's coming back!"

"What?! That's impossible!" Stan snorted. "That one-eyed flower demon's gone for good! The kids beat him!"

"You sure about that, 'Your Majesty'?"

Before Stan, or anyone else, had time to respond, axes flew at all of them, forcing everyone (except, of course, Soos), to duck. Malicious laughter filled the air.

"Look at you all! I can't believe how stupid you all are!" Pacifica was the first one to move. Looking up from where she'd fallen to the floor, she was surprised to see…

"Wendy?!"

Indeed, Wendy was standing before her, her trusty ax in hand. There was something VERY wrong, though. The fish girl's eyes were glowing yellow and black, and vines were wrapped around her.

Almost like they had a hold on her…

"WENDY!" Robbie pulled himself up as Bill popped out of the ground in front of all of them.

"Well, isn't this a cozy little gathering?! Gotta say though, it's kinda nice! It's been a while since I've seen the king and his brother! But which is which now?!" The evil little flower laughed again, and Robbie glared down at him.

"What did you do to her, you weed?!"

"Same thing I did to Craterface here!" McGucket floated forward. Pacifica knew it was him right away, the REAL McGucket. He was wearing the same black robe she'd seen him in in her dream, and his fake nose and beard were gone, showing his skull-like face and the cracks in it.

And he had the same glowing eyes and vines as Wendy.

"Fiddleford!" Ford gasped at the sight of his former scientist.

"You know, you really only have yourself to blame for this, Fordsy." Bill remarked, looking at Ford. "All these years, so many souls…did you ever stop to think about what you were doing? How this was affecting your people?"

"Everything I did was for my people!" Ford shot back. "So that we could all escape!"

"Still on that excuse, huh?" Bill sighed. "Don't kid yourself, Fordsy. You could've just used one human soul to cross the barrier, then gone to the surface world and gathered the six other souls there. True, you'd've still gotten your hands dirty, but it wouldn't have gotten any monsters hurt. Not to mention you wouldn't have had to keep those twins as guinea pigs."

Ford looked absolutely defeated, and Bill laughed.

"Well, I guess it doesn't matter now. I've still got those human souls…and now I have YOUR souls as well!"

Before Ford, or anyone else, could say anything, vines shot out of the ground, wrapping around the Stan twins, Robbie, and, somehow, Soos. All four monsters screamed as they were zapped by the energy from Bill's vines.

"L—let them go!" Pacifica tried for a glare as she looked at Bill. "What are you doing to them?!"

"What do you think, kid?!" Bill asked. "Once I get their souls, I'll be unstoppable! And it's all thanks to you! If you hadn't gathered these guys here, my plan would've gone completely bust!"

Pacifica raised her stick, glaring daggers at the evil little flower.

"You really think THAT'LL stop me?!" Bill laughed. "Nothing can stop me! Not especially now when I'm about to gain another new form!"

Pacifica had a horrible flashback to Bill's last transformation, and started shaking. After that, what could he become that was worse?!

Pacifica got her answer almost right away, as a bright flash filled the room. The blonde threw her arms up to shield her eyes, and once the light cleared, a figure was visible where Bill had been. Pacifica was shocked at how humanoid the demon now looked.

He seemed to be a human male in his mid-twenties at least, and had slightly tanned skin and messy blond hair that was combed back. The man was also wearing a yellow overcoat, a long-sleeved white shirt under it, and black dress pants, black shoes, and a triangle-shaped eyepatch over his left eye. The only indication that this was still the same Bill was his top hat, and his uncovered right eye, which was glowing yellow.

"Well, THAT'S a relief." Bill laughed. "I was just getting REALLY sick of being a flower, you know?!"

Pacifica couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"You're…human?"

"Human?! Don't make me laugh!" The former cyclops flower slapped his face, a big, evil smile on his face. "What I am now is beyond your feeble understanding! I'm BEYOND human! Beyond MONSTERS!" He turned to the Stan brothers, Robbie, and Soos. "Grab her!" Pacifica yelled out as she saw the guys start towards her.

Like Wendy and McGucket, they were covered in vines, and had evil glowing eyes.

"Wh-what are you doing?! Get away!" Even as she screamed the words, Pacifica knew they were worthless.

Her friends were gone.

They were Bill's slaves now.

The brainwashed Stan grabbed Pacifica by her shoulders, easily picking her up off the ground.

"What are you doing?!" Pacifica demanded again, trying and failing to sound brave.

"Well, we can't very well start a war without giving the humans a reason to fight now, can we?!" Bill grinned. "You'd make an ideal hostage, blondie!"

Pacifica's heart stopped as the realization sunk in on her.

"No. You don't mean…"

"You bet I do!" Bill turned towards his new minions, spreading his arms wide. "Come on, everyone! Let's take a little trip to the surface world!"

A/N: Bill Cipher, once again ruining everything -_- I thought it would be fitting to have him be the one to give Ford the breaking speech in this version, considering their connection in the original Gravity Falls. And yes, Soos and McGucket are replacing the twins here, since they're already on the surface. Also, it was obvious Bill/Flowey (Billowey's?) ultimate form would be the human form that is so often seen in fanart.

So what happens now? Will he really be able to start a war with humans, and see his evil plan through to fruition? What will become of Dipper and Mabel?

Stay tuned to find out, and review! (Please? Even if you thought it sucked?)
