I'm sosososososososo super sorry that this is literally a week behind schedule! I went back to school last week and it hit me pretty hard, so it took a bit of encouragement for me to start writing this again. No excuses.

This might be slightly shorter but I wanted to stop it at a certain point.

"We have to stop Sherman. I know what his plan is."

At that, they turned around to look at the unconscious man laying on the ground.

Except he wasn't there.

"Dang it, I was so busy talking about everything I didn't even notice them escape!" Bill said. "They must be at Preston's!"

And so they ran off, Dipper barely able to keep up.

"Great! Now Cipher has the children! This is your fault, Katie, you brat!"

"Well, excuse me, but I didn't do anything, you jerk!" Katie sassily yelled back.

"Shut up, both of you! God, I swear you're so annoying!" screamed Henry.

That only made the argument worse, and the three started throwing insults at one another, but Sherman silenced them when he heard the sound of the basement door dislatching.

"Sh! Someone's in here…"

He slowly tip-toed over to the door, but saw no one.

"Who the heck is there?! Show yourself! We do not allow-"

BOOM!

Multiple grenades had been dropped by the door, causing the whole entire basement to explode, and knocking Shermie out severely, blood running down the side of his head.

"We're back!" a very chipper voice boomed out once all the dust and debris settled.

"Bill Cipher! How could you! Do you not know- Hey!" Sherman protested as Dipper snuck behind him, clasping handcuffs around his wrists. Mabel did the same to Katie, and Bill cuffed Henry. They escorted the group back upstairs, and tied Preston, who'd been knocked out, to a chair, then led him outside.

"Attention citizens!" All the people walking around town freezed, gasping when they saw the condition Preston was in. "Your founder is a fraud! The person who really founded this town was the-"

"Now wait just a minute there, buddy." said Sheriff Blubs. "Why don't you just-"

Bill ignored the police officer, knowing he was trying to stop him, and continued. "-eighth and a half president-"

"Don't say it! Don't say it!" pleaded Deputy Durland.

"-of the United States, Quentin Trembley."

The whole group gasped again, and they all began to chat loudly.

"He said it! He said it!" yelled Durland, running around like a chicken with it's head cut off.

"But I'm not done yet."

The sounds of chitter-chatter immediately halted.

"These three," Dipper and Mabel pushed Sherman, Katie and Henry forward on cue. "Have committed serious crimes, including the Witherspoon Case."

They gasped again.

"Well, I might just have ta change my mind." said Sheriff Blubs.

"Wait!" yelled Dipper. "He's a clone! Sherman is a clone! It all makes sense now!"

"Huh?" Bill and Blubs said at the exact same time.

Dipper typed rapidly on a computer he'd found in the mansion, which had the flash drive from the bunker plugged into it. "Pour water on him!"

"No!" Katie and Henry screamed.

"Here! Take my water bottle, guys!" offered Ray, chucking it to them. Bill caught it and twisted the cap.

"Don't you dare, Ci-"

The water was poured on him and he immediately bubbled and disintegrated.

"Well, that went easier than expected."

"Hooray!" cheered Mayor Tyler. "They saved the town! Now go git on outta here and down to the jail!"

Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland grabbed them and shoved them into the police car, high-hiving each other afterwards. "Well, guys and gals, we've got criminals to put in bars! Thanks, Campbell! It nice to see you in the Falls again."

"No problem." With that they drove off.

"Hey! What's going on here?!" yelled a familar old man. Dipper and Mabel turned to see Stan with another man to looked similar to him but more nerdy.

"Get away from that man!" he immediately yelled when the two made eye contact.

"Ford, what's going on?"

"He's a liar! A criminal! A-"

"Hold you're horses, Sixer!"

"You don't have the right to call me that!"

"Uh, excuse me. Mabel here. What's going on?"

Ford pointed a finger at Bill accusingly. "He killed Scarlett Modoc!"

The crowd of people gasped again.

"No he didn't!"

"What?"

"He didn't!" Dipper yelled, defending his caretaker. "It was the Shapeshifter!"

Ford froze momentarily, realizing that he was right. He just walked away.

"Kids, let's go back home." said Stan.

Mabel, head hanging down, did as told, but Dipper stood there, watching the townsfolk shout insults at him being a fibber.

"Go, Pine Tree."

He sighed, and walked away, following his sister and Grunkle.

Dramatic much? I think I had to many gasps in this.
