A/N: Okay, now this is the REAL last chapter. Drum roll please? *drum roll starts to play* Ta da!
A sunny summer evening by the lake shouldn't be so gloomy in Dipper's opinion. It was the time of the funeral and practically the whole town was attending. Everyone Dipper even remotely knew was there. Mabel, Stan, Soos, Wendy and even Pacifica said something about him at the service.
"Wow, I never knew attending your own funeral would be so... boring," Dipper yawned. He looked in the crowd for any sign of Bill then pulled out the journal. He immediately turned to the page about resurrecting the dead. This book is really convenient, he thought.
"Okay, I need the body, check. The ghost, obviously. And this spell, check," Dipper ran through the list.
He floated over to his coffin and sighed looking at himself lying there... lifelessly. It shocked him to see himself that way, it just wasn't right.
"Are you going to do the spell or not, Pine Tree? Because I'm getting a little tired waiting on you so I can make a proper villain entrance," mocked an entirely too familiar voice.
Dipper went rigid as the demon's shadow loomed over him. He slowly turned around and saw a red triangle with a black angry looking eye staring at him. Man, if looks could kill...
Instead of doing the rational thing and trying to talk his way out, Dipper lunged behind Bill and ducked into the crowd.
"Seriously, Pine Tree? You're only avoiding the inevitable!" Bill said floating after him.
Fumbling through the pages he read the spell out loud as quickly as possible. "Corpus enim, quod anima amisit. Nam absque illa exspiravit domi. Coniungo eis nec unus. Coniungo eis nec unus. Coniungo eos sicut potestatem!"
Suddenly, a warm glow emitted from Dipper and his body. Slowly but surely, he felt that empty feeling he's has since Bill killed him go away. Bill narrowed his eye and shot a deadly bolt of blue lightning at the ghost. Dipper cringed in response, but to his utter surprise, it flashed straight through him.
"NO NO NO!" Bill raged. "THIS ISN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!" Bill charged at Dipper, but just like the lightning bolt, he flew right through him.
Dipper smiled in triumph as he zoomed over to his body. Taking a finale glance at Bill, he reunited himself with his body and fell unconscious...

"It's miraculous. The doctors confirmed that the boy was dead, killed by a fatal blow in the throat, yet..."

"Honestly, who really cares what happened? He's back. He's alive and well. That's all that truly matters to me."

"Dipper! Dipper, come on, Bro Bro! I need to see you for myself!" A voice yelled right in his ear, and if that wasn't enough a vigorous shake woke him up from his deep sleep.
"Just- just a few more minutes, mom..." Dipper groaned, all disorientated from his ordeal.
"Dipper, really, it's me, Mabel! You have to get up! Get up, get up, get up!" She yelled again.
"Fine... Just give me a minute," he mumbled. "Sheesh, you'd think that after you died and came back to life that girl would show a little more respect."
Dipper opened his eyes to find himself in a hospital room. Only different, it wasn't the same type of hospital room you would typically find in the sleepy town of Gravity Falls. It was more modern, with high-tech medical supplies, newer bedding and brighter colors. One thing he knew for sure, this wasn't Gravity Falls.
A few lengthy minutes later, Dipper met with Mabel, Grunkle Stan, Soos, Wendy, and Pacifica just outside his room.
"We're not in Gravity Falls, are we?" Dipper asked more as a statement than a question.
To his surprise, Pacifica was the one to reply, "No, we're not. But, Dipper, aren't you excited!?"
"Excited? For what?" He raised an eyebrow.
"You mean Mabel hasn't told you yet? Dipper! You're famous!" She squealed.
"Wait! What!"
"You're on in thirty seconds!" Pacifica and Mabel shrieked as if were the best thing ever.
"HUH!" Dumbfounded, the next thing Dipper knew was the blare of a microphone, the booming voice of a talk show host, and the deafening cheers of a huge crowd.
"Mr. Pines, I am Felix Exploit, and I believe you like to go by 'Dipper' correct?" The flashy man asked.
"Um... Uh- yes, sir..." Dipper stammered.
"Oh no need to be so formal! Please, just call me Felix!"
"Uh- um, okay... Felix," Dipper replied acutely aware of ever gaze trained on him and his every word. "Um... excuse me but, why am I here exactly?"
"Ha ha ha! So you mean to tell me that you don't know! Why you, Dipper Pines, are being referred to as 'the boy who came back to life' and 'the miracle child' and many many 're story of how you died and came back to life is sweeping the Internet. You are here today to tell the world how it felt, what you saw, and exactly what happened." Dipper felt the host's piercing brown eyes penetrate his memories. Boring straight through any lie he would try to pull off.
Out of all the life-threatening situations he's been in, Dipper always found a way out. From everything he's ever done, he's never been in a predicament as scary as this.
He could feel the beads of sweat forming on his forehead as he tried to think his way out of this one. "I- I... um-"
"Well, Mr. Pines?" Felix leaned in getting impatient.
"Well... it's a long story... it goes all the way back to the beginning of summer vacation..." This was it, he would either spin off a lie so crazy it just might work, or... tell the... truth.
Dipper sighed in defeat and opened his mouth to spill everything. That was when he felt a strong grip on his shoulder. Turning his head, his saw his great uncle. Oh dear lord! Thank you, Grunkle Stan! He thought in relief.
"Excuse me, Mr. Exploit, but I need to speak with my nephews for a moment, thank you."
"But- but... the story!"
"Sorry, but you'll have to find your next big thing somewhere else," Stan replied strangely calm.
Dipper and Stan rushed off the stage, out of sight from any prying eyes.
"That was way too close, dudes," Soos said.
"Totally!" Wendy said, "but really, what happened to you when you were... you know... when you were a ghost and all?" She put Dipper on the spot.
"Guys, I honestly don't think that I should talk about it right this moment, I'm still kinda shaken up," Dipper confessed.
"It's okay, Dipper. We'll be here for you if you ever feel like talking," Pacifica promised, blushing a little.
"Yeah," the rest agreed.
With a downcast gaze, Dipper brushed past everyone and slammed the hospital room door behind him.
"What's up with him?" Wendy questioned.
"I don't know what it is, but I don't like it," Mabel frowned.
After a few hours of rest, Dipper still couldn't fall asleep. He didn't know what was wrong with him. He just didn't feel... right. It was as if his body didn't fit him anymore, like he grew out of it somehow. He felt uncomfortable with being tied down to gravity again. He even forgot that he didn't have to take altitude into account anymore.
"What's wrong with me?" He asked himself, aggravated by the fact he didn't know.
"There's nothing wrong with you, Dipper, you just need a little TLC."
Dipper turned around expecting to see Mabel. "Why are you being so nice to me, Pacifica? It's not as if I have anything to give you," Dipper expected an answer.
"Well... remember when Mabel and I had that Golf War, and how those mini golf people trash texted my so called 'friends'?" Pacifica recalled.
"Yeah, what about them?"
"Well, after that they said they were fed up with the way I've been treating them and that we were only friends because of my money. Ever since then I've been trying to find a way to apologize for being so mean to you two. This was my first chance." She explained.
"It's okay, you're forgiven," Dipper smiled warmly.
"Oh, thank you so much! You have no idea what it's like to be ignored by everyone you've known. It was as if I were invisible... it was horrible," Pacifica met Dipper's eyes.
"I think I have a pretty good idea of what it's like to be invisible, literally."
Just then, the door swung open to reveal three people who were pressing against it topple over each other. Wendy, Mabel and Soos all having guilty expressions. Grunkle Stan just stepped over a them and walked over to the duo. "Dipper," he sighed, "I know you've been through a lot these past couple days and I would understand if you wanted to go back home for the rest of the summer-"
"Grunkle Stan, this might be the last summer I get to spend with you. I would never leave Gravity Falls, even if my life depended on it." Dipper pledged sincerely.
"Okay then, are you two ready?"
The twins nodded.
"Then let's go!"
