-A Few Hours Later-

Dipper's POV:

"Pinetree! Please wake up!" His voice says.

'B...b...b...bill?'

I hear a gasp of relief and Bill lifts me up slightly, laughing.

"Baby open your eyes." He says.

I try to but they feel too heavy.

I keep trying though, until whatever glue that stuck my eyelids together goes away.

I blink them open and almost close them again because everything is so bright, but my eyes adjust faster than normal.

'What happened?' I wonder to myself.

Bill says," You don't remember?!"

I look up and start to shake my head, when all the memories flood back when I meet his eyes.

I remember the she-demon showing up.. the duel... and feeling like I was going to die...then Bill saving me...

I look back up, not having realized that I looked away.

"Bill, why's everything so bright?"

He tenses up and tears appear in his eyes.

"P- please... Please don't hate me pinetree..."

I reply, "Never!"

A few tears spill over and I lean closer and kiss him.

He kisses back and his shoulders start shaking.

I pull back when he starts to cry, and push his head to my chest.

He wraps me into a tight hug, sobbing into my shirt.

I hold him for minutes? Hours? Well however long because he cries for a very long time.

He finally stops and hiccups a bit, still holding tightly to me, shaking.

"What did you do Bill? I promise I won't hate you. Just tell me." I say.

He doesn't reply for a while and I start to think that maybe he fell asleep, when he moves back and looks up at me with red rimmed eyes.

I lace our fingers together.

"Tell me please."

He looks away, looking like he could cry some more.

"Bill."

He starts to speak," P-pinetree... Mason... I just convinced you to spend the rest of your life with me and that...that evil bitch tried to take it all away..."

A bit of hysterical laughter bubbles out of his lips, before he puts a hand over his mouth to stop it.

He continues after a moment.

"I... Oh my god p-please don't hate me..."

A few more tears roll down his cheeks.

I gently pull his face into my hands and wipe away his tears.

Even kiss him for good measure.

"Bill whatever you did, I'm alive. I'm here with you. I couldn't be happier."

He chuckles darkly.

"You're so going to hate me..." He says.

I sigh.

"Bill look at me."

He looks back up at me.

"Tell me." I say in a demanding tone, since that seems to be the only way he'll listen to me.

"I made you like me."

I laugh.

"Bill I love you but how could you make me?"

He says,"No. No. I made you like me."

It takes a few moments, but then I understand.

"That's all?"

Bill gasps.

Bill's POV:

I gasp when I'm suddenly flooded with Pinetree's emotions... All of them love and amusement.

I give him a confused look.

He laughs.

"Bill seriously that's all? I was actually going to ask you if it was possible for me to live as long as you somehow... before you proposed and all this happened..."

"You were?" I ask.

He nods.

"But I... I took away your soul... Now you can't go to heaven because of me!" I reply.

He laces our fingers together.

"Bill look at me." He says.

I hesitantly look up only to see love written all over his face and absolute happiness.

"Bill, you did not take away my soul because I know for a fact that you still have one. And I don't care about getting into heaven. Anyone waiting for me up there never cared about me anyways..." He pauses.

"Bill this just means that we never have to be separated. Now we can both spend our lives together forever because we won't have to die. And now I can help you find your brother, probably a lot easier, because I'm bound to have some gift like you do..."

He tilts my chin up and kisses me.

I melt into the kiss and hold onto him tightly because I feel like he's going to disappear.

'You feel like that?' My Pinetree asks in my mind.

I blink.

I hear him chuckle in his head.

'I guess I'll just have to prove to you that I won't.' He says in my mind.

He pulls back from the kiss.

"Plus... I don't need to breathe now so..." He says.

He leans back down for another kiss.

-A Few Weeks Later-

(Still Bill's POV)

I hold tight to Pinetree's hand and teleport to the place that it quite literally all went to hell.

He says,"Since I seem to be able to read ley lines, I need you to show me the exact spot that you collapsed after sending Will away."

I lead him to the spot in front of the tree opposite my tree home.

He kneels down and gets a look of recognition on his face.

I hear him thinking about seeing this spot in my memories.

"Bill. I'm going to need you to go into your tree for a little while."

"Why?" I ask.

"Because I don't want you to get hurt. Even if you won't die, it still upsets me when you get hurt. You know that." He states.

"But what about you?" I ask.

He sighs.

"Bill I can control it if the magic goes haywire and direct it back into the ground. You however can't."

"True enough." I walk into my tree and sit on the bed.

I absently start to juggle my fireballs.

Dipper's POV:

I reach out with my magic with my eyes closed, and let it guide my hand to the literal starting point of the lines.

When I touch it, I feel too much energy at once rush through me, and I'm knocked backwards even though my magic did its best to balance it out.

I suddenly see seemingly random letters glow behind my eyelids and I write them down on a piece of paper that I just summoned out of thin air.

When I'm done, I look down at the letters and find something familiar about them, although I can't seem to place what.

I stand up and walk to Bill's "tree house" and let myself in. I'm almost hit by a throwing dart, but good thing I redirected it to the wall beside me in time.

I narrow my eyes at Bill.

He smiles sheepishly.

I tap my foot.

"Sorry Pinetree." He apologizes.

I smile.

"That's better."

I walk to him and kiss his cheek, sitting beside him.

"So when I was trying to read the lines, a bunch of energy coursed through me and I had these letters appear behind my eyelids..."

I hand him the paper.

After a second he motions for me to hand him my pen, and he starts writing on the paper.

(picture on wattpad)

When he's done scribbling, he mutters what he wrote aloud.

"The parallels meet at the place of one promise made at the safe haven, before the burning day."

I think about it and it sounds like a riddle.

Bill agrees.

I summon a highlighter and highlight the key words that really jump out to me as hints.

(picture on wattpad)

Bill glances at the paper.

I suddenly remember, like everything that I've read, that has had alternate or parallel dimensions in it.

I realize that the 'parallel's meet' means that's where the parallel dimension to Gravity Falls meets with Gravity Falls.

Bill adds that they meet whatever promise was made is where they meet.

I re-read the highlighted words and suddenly remember the part in Bill's memory when he realized that he had magic.

-Flashback-

Bill was closing his eyes, when wolves howling could be heard in the distance.

His brother whimpered in his sleep.

Bill closed his eyes for a moment.

Then a door appeared on the tree and the tree expanded enough to be the size of a small room.

Bill then opened his eyes and a look of surprise and wonder appeared on his face.

-End Flashback-

Then suddenly it hit me. The safe haven was their tree home! That's where they were protected from the outside world while they were figuring out the extents of their magic!

I write it down.

"So the burning day must be the day I sent Will away..." Bill mutters to himself.

He writes it down.

(picture on wattpad)

"So the parallel dimension to gravity falls is where Will is..." I say and write that down.

(picture on wattpad)

"And the only way to find him is for me to remember a promise that I made to him... and go to that place..." Bill mutters.

I lean over and kiss him.

'Don't feel discouraged love. Plus I can help you. I'm a whole Dipper!demon now." I joke.

Bill's eyes light up at that and he chuckles slightly.

"You're right." He says.

"I know." I reply back with a smirk.

He rolls his eyes.

"You know... I just can't believe that I didn't think of the most obvious place to look for him." He shakes his head.

"That's ok. That's why you have me!" I tease.

He doesn't get it for a second. Then:

"Hey!" He exclaims.

He starts tickling me.

I laugh.

This induces a whole tickle war.
