Chapter 21
„Dipper..." Mabel whispered in as soft voice as he cried his eyes out on her shoulder „I don't know what is going on but… I will be always be here for you no matter what happens… I'm your sister, you know you can always tell me anything…" She softly caressed his hair as they sat on the floor.
"Mabel… I…" Dipper couldn't bring a word over his lips.
"Take your time… I'm here for you…" She said as she let her brother hug her and she did the same.
A few silent minutes passed before Dipper calmed down enough to look at his sister, he took a deep breath as he separated from Mabel, his eyes were still red but he was determined to talk about it this time.
"Mabel…" He looked down trying to avoid eye contact and sighed before he said it "I'm not human… at least not completely anymore" he said melancholically
"Dipper... Look I would still be here for you even if you turned into a fly, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Wait.. You are not going to scold me? Ask how it happened? He asked surprised.
"I will when you are ready for it" She said as she hugged her brother who started sniffing but in relief and he held his sister tight.
"Thank you Mabel... I'm sorry I doubted you" He said as a last tear left his eye.
"No need to apologize, who knows how I would have reacted in such a situation" She said as she wiped Dipper's tears off "And anyway... Bill already told me"
"Wait what?! What in hell did he say?!" Dipper said as he shook his sister like trying to pull the words out of her.
"Chillax Dipper..."
"What did he say Mabel... " Dipper sighed.
"He explained about how you were actually going to die when Ford shot you... And that it was the only way " She recalled.
"That's it?" Dipper asked.
"He said something about how you might change a little in the next few weeks... That we shouldn't give you the fault but him… And he also said that I should be here for you no matter what happened many many times" She smiled.
"He said that?..." Dipper asked perplexed.
"Well he did add on the end that he would burn everyone in Gravity Falls alive if I didn't... " She started thinking about those words again.
"If he threatened you I'm so going to kill him..." Dipper said pissed.
"No don't worry" Mabel said as she laughed "I know he was only looking out for you... I know he would do anything for you literally... Oh and I'm pretty sure it's the first time I've seen him shed a tear" She remarked.
"Are we still talking about Bill Cipher?" Dipper asked seriously wondering if they were still talking about the same person.
"Yes" She giggled "So did anything change yet?" She asked curiously.
"Apparently I can see in the dark... Um... Mind reading... But it only happened like once" He said as he scratched his head.
"Dipper..." Mabel packed him by the shoulders "YOU HAVE SUPERPOWERS AND THAT'S WHAT MADE YOU THINK I WOULDN'T ACCEPT YOU?!" She yelled as she shook him pretty hard.
"Ugh Mabel stop... " He said as she shook him way to hard.
" Holy freaking rainbow unicorns, that means you can do what Bill can?! Can you fly? Can you make things fly?! Make Waddles levitate!" She said without even stopping to breathe.
"Mabel I don't know yet... " Dipper said ashamed.
"Read my mind!" She demanded exited (Rainbow puppies, no no, rainbow dolfins... No wait puppies on a rainbow spitting four headed dolphin!) She thought to herself.
"Oh God... Mabel dolphins... Did you eat smile dip again?" Dipper asked.
"You really can! Oh my god... You haven't been reading my mind when I'm writing stories have you?" She asked as she covered her face in embarrassment.
"No don't worry it does not always work... Mostly only really loud thoughts reach me I guess... I don't know how to explain that" Dipper said confused as well.
"Wait I just had a great idea... Jump out of the window and see if you can fly!" Mabel demanded.
"I won't jump out of a window Mabel!" He yelled.
"Then maybe some other day?" She asked with puppy eyes.
"Mabel let's just... Stay calm... And like await what will happen and not force them I seriously almost had a mental breakdown today…" Dipper said as he sighed.
"I can't believe you are not hyped about having superpowers…"
"Mabel they are not 'superpowers' and I wasnt worried because of that! I was worried about being part demon!" He exclaimed.
"You are fucking with an interdimensional Dorito demon… and you still worry about something like that?" She commented with a raise eyebrow.
"Holy shit Mabel do you have to say it like that?!" He ranted as he covered his face.
"So you are?!" she broke out in laughter and rolled on the floor.
"Mabel stop that!" He said embarrassed.
"Sorry this is just too good" She said as she kept laughing "Holy I want to be there when you explain that to mum!" She laughed so hard her eyes became teary.
"Mabel please shut up…" He said as he turned red.
"Sorry…sorry" It took her a few seconds to calm down "Phew I'm chill"
"Thank you…" Dipper sighed "By the way when did he even tell you?" he asked.
"I gotta admit it was a weird situation, he came into the room as you weren't home and asked if I could do him a favour... It was really weird... He told me many times how I should look out for you no matter what happened"
"This guy... " Dipper said in a soft tone already regretting how he yelled at Bill.
"But the weird thing is... It felt as if he was saying goodbye" She uttered.
"What? Wait what do you mean?" he said confused.
"You know… like it just felt like he was telling me to take care of you because he wouldn't be here" She answered.
"And he calls me melodramatic…" Dipper sighed as he stood up "I need to find him"
"And how are we going to do that?" Mabel asked.
"Mabel do you still have the weirdness compass?" Dipper asked.
"Of course I do" She smiled "Waddles! The compass" She yelled and a few seconds later the pig ran into the room with the object in his mouth.
"What…how did you teach a pig such things… never mind" Dipper took the compass and started walking around in the room hoping for it to point in the right direction, without effort no matter what he did it pointed in one way and it was to him "Goddamit…" He said furious.
"Ok that's like the first bad thing… why not use the radar?" Mabel asked.
"Mabel and you think Ford will let us touch it?" Dipper criticized.
"I'll distract him, bring him upstairs and then you go into the lab" She suggested.
"Well it's not like we have any other ideas…" He sighed.
The twins headed downstairs putting in the pin code into the door but it didn't open. Apparently Ford had changed the code, but that really didn't surprise anyone.
"What are you kids doing?" Stan asked as he neared himself.
"We need to talk to Grunkle Ford!" Mabel demanded.
"Ford left about ten minutes ago, can I help?" Stanley asked.
"We need something from the lab" Dipper replied.
"He changed the code so you two wouldn't barge in there you know…" Stan objected.
"And you know it?" Mabel hinted.
"Yes of course its B…no, no way, I'm not falling for that" Stan declared.
"Are you sure it starts with B grunkle Stan?" Dipper asked.
"No I said I'm not going to tell it" Stan denied once again (B3CA2) Stan thought to himself.
"Aw too bad then…" Dipper said bummed as he walked away from the machine.
"Stay away from that lab kids" Stan demanded as he left. Dipper immediately went back to the machine and typed in the code he just learned.
"Wooh! Now we are talking bro-bro!" Mabel cheered as she gave him a pat on the back. They headed into the rushing onto the radar and sending a scan out that would be back in a few seconds with the exact coordinates of Bill. The machine beeped and the coordinates came back, it was hard to recognize the point in the map, it was really small for it to be Bill but it was at his statue, Dipper also saw the small dot inside of the Shack which of course was himself.
"He always goes to that place…" Dipper sighed "Come on Mabel let's go" Dipper demanded.
Meanwhile Bill was sitting in front of his statue waiting… after a few minutes passed Ford arrived there as well.
"I knew you were following me Fordsy, missed me so much?" Bill grinned.
"Stop with the jokes Cipher!" Stanford demanded.
"Then what is it that you want?" Bill raised his eyebrow.
"We both know very well that, that 'body' of yours is decaying, the bullets I made especially for you did their job pretty well" Ford smiled as he pulled out a journal.
"I wonder how long you worked on those… probably years… you were still scared of me coming back" Bill smirked.
"But this time I was ready for you" Ford started reading some incantations out of the journal he had, with that chains engulfed Bill keeping him tied by his arms, legs and neck pulling him down so he would be much lower than Ford.
"How nostalgic are you taking revenge for me torturing you years ago?" Bill grinned "You enjoyed it Fordsy you have to admit it… But on the other side I wonder how many witches you fucked to get that spell" Bill laughed.
"Shut up Cipher, you are defenceless now, you can't even use that body properly anymore and these chains keep your demonic powers locked, so now What did you do with Dipper?" Ford demanded as he kicked Bill in the face and pulled out his gun.
"So we are not doing the eye for an eye thing? I electrocuted you, you electrocute me?" Bill asked mocking Ford who only answered by putting a bullet in his chest.
"Once more what did you do to Dipper?" Ford demanded.
"You shot your own nephew in the chest, severing a main artery and almost killing him, I would have expected a 'thank' since I was the one who saved him" Bill answered in a cocky tone.
"You can't mess with me anymore Cipher" Ford shot another bullet into Bill, who was already coughing up blood "What did you do to Dipper?" he demanded again.
Bill just laughed at Stanford's words "You already know the answer why are you even asking? You wrote a whole journal on blood deals"
"Even a blood deal doesn't make humans follow the demon he got the powers from, you saved Dipper so there must have been a reason, you want to use him for something" Ford claimed.
"Well living inside of that kid's head for 6 years might have fucked him up" Bill laughed hysterically.
"You…" Ford kicked Bill in the stomach "You brainwashed him over the years… that means you must have had some kind of use for him.
"Of course I did, through driving him crazy over the years I regained a body!" Bill grinned "He was supposed to be my new pawn, my new body and my way to world domination!" He laughed at his own words… as he stopped he looked down to the ground "That kid always piqued my interest… But with this body… with feelings… partially losing my memory at first, I just didn't think he would become more important to me than anything else… " Bill looked sorrowful.
"You bastard…" Ford pulled Bill by the collar "I will make sure to erase you from existence for sure this time, even if it means erasing Dipper's memories!"
