Dipper, Luz, and Amity were trying to process what the alternate universe Ford told them.
"The...only survivor?" Luz was visibly frightened.
"I managed to escape my reality by the skin of my teeth, but...I couldn't save you guys...I tried...but..."
"So, Bill exists in your reality, too?" Amity asked.
"No, there's only one Bill Cipher," Ford explained. "He exists in the Mindscape, and to my knowledge there's only one Mindscape...I had to travel through there to escape my reality..."
"Well, he's been trying to get into our reality for a while," Dipper said. "We defeated him before, ten years ago..."
"He only just recently showed up in my reality, so I don't think that was his main target. If he's out for revenge on you, then we need to work together..." Ford looked around. "Where's Stan?"
"He's back at the hotel in Los Angeles," Dipper said.
Ford looked around. "Did...did I land in Vegas?"
"Yep."
"I would've expected him to have come with you guys."
"So wait, does that mean there's an alternate reality version of the demon realm?" Amity asked.
"Well, yea...each dimension is divided into...I guess you could call them sub-dimensions," Ford said. "But enough questions. We need to find your friend Marcy right away..."
"Wait, what's up with Marcy?" Luz said.
"We need to get to her before Bill does..."
Marcy and Anne were laying in bed. Anne dozed off ten episodes into the show they were watching, but Marcy was still awake. She was really tired though due to her pulling that all nighter. But after encountering Bill in her dream, she woke up and hadn't been able to get back to sleep. She was afraid to go back to sleep.
Marcy's mom and dad came back into the house. Her mom peeked into Marcy's room.
"What is Anne doing here?"
"Oh, I called her...because I fell off the bed and you guys weren't here...and then we just started watching a show. She kinda fell asleep though."
"Okay, just wake her up in a bit so she can get home before it gets too dark." Her mom closed the door.
As Marcy went back to watching the show, she heard a knock on her window. This woke Anne up from her nap. Marcy looked over at the window and saw Luz.
"Luz? How did you find my house?"
"Ford knew where you lived. Wait, I gotta let him explain." Luz climbed into Marcy's room and Ford came up the ladder.
"Marcy, has Bill Cipher come into contact with you?"
"He was in my dream last night...how do you know my name?"
"Listen to me very carefully...no matter what...don't listen to Bill. I'm not the Ford from this dimension. I escaped my home dimension because Bill Cipher was successful...and...everyone perished..."
Marcy was frozen in place. What do you mean "everyone perished?"
"So it is absolutely imperative that you don't fall for Bill's tricks..."
"Wait, did I...cause this?" Marcy was starting to have a panic attack. Her heart was pounding.
"Not you. The alternate Marcy made a deal with Bill," Ford said. "It wasn't her fault either. He can be...persuasive...I just wanted to warn you so you don't make the same mistake as the Marcy in my dimension..."
"I...I need a moment...please..."
Ford nodded and stepped down the ladder. Anne and Luz looked at Marcy with concern.
"You...need me to go, too?" Luz asked.
"I just...need to be alone..."
"Marcy..." Anne touched Marcy's shoulder.
"Don't touch me!" Marcy flinched and almost fell off the bed again. "I need to be alone!"
Anne nodded her head solemnly. "Okay...I think I need to get back home anyway..."
Luz came down the ladder, followed by Anne.
Why did I snap at Anne?
Marcy layed back down in her bed. She started to tear up, but realized what she had to do. She closed her eyes, and dozed off.
In her dreams, Marcy walked back out to the living room to find Bill.
"You!"
"Oh, hi Marcy..."
Marcy punched Bill in his eye.
"Ow, crap, why does everyone go for the eye?"
"You were trying to trick me! Like the Marcy in the other dimension!"
"Wait, how do you know about the other dimension?"
"The Ford from that dimension told me! You may have tricked that version of me, but I've already been tricked once before! I won't be so easily fooled again!"
"Ah, so Ford came to your dimension...interesting...thanks for telling me..."
"Huh?"
"I managed to miss him on my...practice run...and I see you may not be as weak minded in this dimension, but...I may have a good substitute...your little girlfriend will do just fine!"
"You do anything to her, I swear to God..."
"So long..."
Marcy woke up. Oh no, I need to get to Anne before Bill does!
Marcy grabbed her walker and went to go get her wheelchair. She wheeled it faster than she's ever wheeled it before. It was dark, so Marcy was sure that Anne would probably be asleep by now, so she didn't have much time.
She reached Anne's house and frantically knocked.
"Anne! Are you home?"
Marcy kept knocking on the door until the door opened. It was Anne. She seemed to be half asleep, with her eyes closed.
"Anne, Bill said he was gonna go after you, so I came as fast..."
Anne opened her eyes. To Marcy's surprise, she had glowing yellow eyes...
"Hi...Marcy..."
