.Dipper's POV.
Mason and I looked at each other, "Do you remember meeting a triangle?" I asked, he shook his head "Not at all… Unless that triangle from geometry counts." "I don't see why they shouldn't." I shrugged, before the triangle snapped in front of my face "Hey~! Focus on me!" "Attention Hog." We spit our tongues out at it.
It crossed its arms, before floating into my face "Kind weird too see you two this old! And… switched genders." "Switched genders…?" we looked at each other, as Rebby called out "If you two are done being weird, there's more important things to be done, don't you two have jobs to do?!" I felt my fist tighten "Shut it!" I snapped "Maybe you should actually be putting effort into your life! Or at least try to get your make up right!"
"Dipper…?" Mason put his hand on my arm, and I huffed "Not sorry." The triangle, laughed "Oh it looks like someone's heart isn't in the right place~ Or… right at all." I looked at it "What, are you?" "Well, since your asking sooo, nicely~! I'm Bill Cipher~! Or... Shall I say, Billy Cipher." It poked me in the nose "Seeing that in this, dimension I'm a girl~! Just like you Pine Tree~!" I pushed it away and stood up "Don't call me that." I headed into the house with Mason following close behind me "Dipper~? Don't leave me alone with this thing!"
"How rude! I'm a LADY! Treat me with respect!" the triangle followed us, and Grant Sam looked up at it "What, is that?" "We have no, idea." I crossed my arms "It just appeared in front of us, saying it was a friend!" Mason added in.
"Oh I get it now~! You're all opposite here~!" the thing laughed, and floated to in front of me "Pine Tree~! As all powerful as I am, it appears that something, had blocked my powers…" "Oh please don't tell me…" I took a step back, feeling dread fill my stomach "So! I'll be hanging around you until I get them back!" it pressed against my face "Isn't this great?!" "No! Get away from me you weird Triangle!"
"Aww! It likes you Dipper!" "Mason! Not helping!" I pushed it back a bit "Rude! I am a lady Shooting Star! Use the right pronouns!" "Ah… Sorry…" my brother chuckled.
Grant Sam, simply took a sip of her drink "If its staying, it's helping out in the shack or doing something, while its here." "Deal~!" Billy, rested on my shoulder "I'll be everywhere you go Pine Tree. Everywhere." She looked at me with her one eye, and I shuddered.
"Let's… try to make the best of this!" Mason clapped "I can make you some cute clothes Billy!" "Clothes? I'm a triangle. Why do I need clothes?" she asked, pointing at her hat with her cane "I just wear my hat because I'm classy like that." I looked at her, and Grant Sam looked at me "Dipper… What's that book in your hands?" I froze a bit, before holding it up "A… Journal." She looked at it "Ugh, its covered in dust." She huffed "Where one earth, did you find that thing?" "In a hole in the ground." I looked at her closely.
She seemed… off, "Grant Sam… Are you okay?" she looked at me, "Hm?" her eyes seemed, so glassy, like she wasn't mentally here. It faded as she blinked "I feel fine, its just been hot today. Don't worry about me sweetie." She waved me off, and I was pulled upstairs by Mason.
Billy, floated after us and we sat on his bed "You saw that too right?" "You mean Grant Sam's eyes?" I asked, he nodded "Good, you did see it… She looked so… So…" "Odd, distant?" I offered, he nodded "Yeah…!"
"Well obviously its because there's something not right with her~" Billy chimed in "Hey Pine Tree, why, don't you do some reading?" she tapped the Journal "There's tons, of information in this Journal here!"
I held it closer to me "Information on you?" "Would I tell you to read it if I wasn't, in it? There's a whole section on me! I'm like a celebrity!' Billy giggled.
Mason, sat beside me and I opened the Journal, flipping slowly through the pages "Here… Bill Cipher, a Dream Demon." I read the larger font "Jeeze… small print." I held the book to Mason "Your eyes are better." "Get your glasses on… We both, need glasses. So my eyes are not, better than yours! We have the same vision!" he put the Journal down on the bed.
Within minutes, we were reading again, and Billy, floated between us "You know… That picture doesn't do a good job in capturing how awesome I am. You should draw a better me." She poked me "Sh." I pushed her away, and kept reading.
There was a lot here… but there was a lot, missing as well.
"There's got, to be more information. I mean, all this stuff and just one Journal?" I looked at Mason, "You think there's more?" "There has, to be Mason. This one says 3." I pointed at the cover "So there's at least, two more." He nodded slowly "Would three be enough though?" "If you limit the information in each one…" I put my finger on my chin "Maybe have a Journal created specifically for certain information?" I asked no one in particular.
"Alright, well this is 3. So lets see if we can find 1 and 2." Mason smiled "Gwendoline seemed, to be rather interesting. And that pendant of hers sure wasn't a normal, one." I looked at him "You… want, to go talk to her?" "Well I want to know more, just like you." He stretched out.
Billy, moved around the room "Well~! Isn't this cute?! You two are waaay, different than any other versions of you that I've met!" "What?" we looked at her "You didn't know?" she laughed "For every star in the sky, there's another you. You two, are just one Dipper and one Mason in this very large, multi-universe." She moved her cane around as she spoke "Now, each one of you is indeed you, there is not one that's exactly alike the other, sure there are similarities, but always differences. A similarity every single, Dipper shares, is that birthmark, in the shape of the Big Dipper. But the placement changes from each Dipper. You're the first I've seen with it on the arm." She pointed at my right arm, where the mark rested along my freckles.
"How did you…" "I know, you Dipper. Or at least, I know many Different, yous." She laughed "And I know many Different Masons." she looked at Mason, "You… Then how many Bills are there?" "It's Billy Shooting Star. And there's only one me. But, I can change my gender at will, so there's that." She shrugged.
I looked at Mason, who wore the expression of confusion, and fear, I was feeling.
"Now, don't be so sad!" she chimed up "You two are unique to this world, after all… only one version of a person can exist in one universe." She floated around slowly "There's a whole thing about the universe not being able to sustain holding two of the same person, and possibly becoming unstable and tearing apart if that happens, but even I'm, not reckless enough to see what will happen!"
"Twins! Dinner!" Grant Sam called, and Mason slowly got off his bed "Come on Dipper…" nodding, I followed him down the stairs.
"You two look like you've had the life drain outta ya…" Grant Sam looked at us, "What's wrong?" she asked "We thought of Gwendoline." I said the first thing that popped into my head, and she gagged "Oh my poor Grand Babies… No one should have to think of such a horrible thing."
Thankfully, over dinner the feeling we both had seemed to fade, and Billy had vanished when we went up to bed.
"Hey Dipper…" "What's up?" "What do you think… about the other us'?" "What about them? They're not us. They might be versions of us, but you heard what that Triangle said, they're different. Your Mason, my, Mason. My twin brother." "I know but… You don't think, they're getting into trouble do you? Or… or what if they're not talking to each other…!" "Mason, they're not, us. This is us, and this is our dimension… Let's just, worry about what's going on in this one okay?" "Okay…"
I got out of my bed, and slid into his "Move over…" he smiled, and pulled me close in a hug "Its scary to think of though…" "So stop thinking." I yawned, making him yawn "Dipper… Dipper how dare you curse me. I thought we were twins…" his eyes slowly drifted shut, and I followed within seconds.
.Billy Cipher's POV.
I looked at the sleeping twins, if I hadn't, put them to sleep, then they would've stayed up longer to talk.
"Alright… so in this dimension, I have a physical form, while I can still access Dream Scape." I sighed "I just don't get it. Not that I'm complaining… But what's going on here? Is some other demon messing with this place before I had the chance to call dibs?"
I floated over the twins, "When I last saw you guys, you were two twelve year olds, just thinking their summer would be like the last one. Now your both eighteen…" I poked Dippers sleeping cheek "It's like seeing your own kids grow up too fast…"
I moved back, and moved to Dippers bed, staring at them, I never understood why Humans need, to sleep. I didn't mind looking into their Dreams, but it was still weird, do they do it to escape reality? Or, is there some other reason?
"Gwendoline Gleeful huh? Gideon hasn't seemed to change that much… same personality, different looks. Wendy is now Westly, Robbie, is Rebecca, or Rebby… Soos, is Susan, or Suz…" listing off all the people here, I stooped.
Different Dimension, but these Journals exist here, I had the one on the night stand float over to me, and it opened up "this is the exact same, but how…" I have never, been in this dimension, or had contact with a human from it until today.
Hearing incoherent mumbling from Dipper, I floated over to above the twins, Mason, slept soundly, dreaming of owning a large and famous Fashion Industry, while Dipper…
"Sheesh Pine Tree…" I placed my hand on her head, and she calmed down, finally relaxing and bore a sleepy smile "That's a one of a kind nightmare you were having… What could've brought that up?" I floated so I sat at their heads.
Why… did I do that? I looked at my hand, sure I've seen Dipper's nightmares before, but this is one of the first times I've changed it, I mean I've made the nightmares worse just to mess with Dippers before, but this time… why did I make it a good dream?
"You two aren't the only ones who are scared…" I looked at the sleeping twins "And I want to know… what did you do, Dipper? Why make that kind of deal?" she stayed asleep.
A wolf, howled from outside, no… it was a wolfs howl, but it didn't come from a wolf.
"Sleep well Pine Twins… I can watch over you two tonight."
.?.
Grinning, shaking with laughter…
It was working.
It was really working!
"All the pieces are falling into place… The toll has been paid, that Demon is here… All I need to do, is wait."
This will, work. It had, to work.
This is the perfect plan, every piece will move as they have too, to get to where this needs to go.
Like pieces on a chest board they are, moving one by one, falling when their beaten, until slowly, they get closer to the King.
When that King falls… When that King falls…
"I will call the final Checkmate. And a new, King will take their place."
