Bill's POV:
We stand in front of the chained up door and I take a deep breath.
Pinetree kisses my cheek.
"So this is it huh?" I laugh nervously.
I really can't relieve these memories, but if I could find Will...
I resign myself to doing it for Will.
I just hope Pinetree... doesn't hate me...
I take a hesitant step forward, but am stopped by a hand on my arm.
I look at Pinetree, wondering if he could see the fear in my eyes.
Pinetree smiles.
"Bill I can read your thoughts remember?"
He steps forward and kisses me, once again shocking me, not for the last time, because of how much love is infused in it.
He laughs in my mind.
'Of course there's going to be love there you doofus! I love you! How many times do I have to tell you that? And Bill, seeing you at your worse will only serve to let me help you heal. Fiance remember?'
He pulls back from the kiss and flashes his ring at me, quickly pulling the chain out from under his shirt, then tucking it back.
I smile, surprised to find tears in my eyes.
My pinetree kisses me again.
'I love you, so will you stop doubting it?' He says in my mind.
'I can't help it.' I reply.
'Yes you can. I swear when we get out of here I'm going to show you all over again.'
He pulls back with a glint in his slightly glowing blue eyes.
I blush.
"Now we have to do this to find your brother. I'm not going to hate you Bill. I love you so much. Now lets go do this before you talk yourself out of it again." He says.
I nod.
He takes my hand and laces our fingers together.
He guides me to the door and we open it together, stepping through the threshold in unison, the door shutting behind us.
And so the memories begin...
Time flashes by as we rewatch my parents selling me and my brother...
The pain... the torture...
Our hideout or safe haven as the riddle called it...
Me and him training our powers...
That fateful day at the bookshop...
Me sending him away...
The anger...
My rampage...
Years passing as I missed him everyday...
His pain...
Not feeling his emotions...
Giving into the insanity...
So it began...
'My younger self throws a journal that was hardly more than scribbles now, against the wall.
I collapsed to my knees and started tugging at my hair...
Will where are you??!
Then it happened...
I felt..., rather , didn't feel him anymore... not even his sadness...
Will ...will... will... will... will ...will ..will... will ...will?????????????
I idly tugged tufts of hair off of my head feeling an odd sense of relief.
I started laughing and kept doing it.
"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! pAin Is HiLaRRRRRRIoooUs!!!!!!!!"
I did it until my head was bald.
Even then it wasn't enough.
I scratched and scratched at my head till it bled...
Scratches all over my body... laughing... it felt so good!!!
Then my legs gave out and I fell backwards.
I hit my head and everything went black.
I was laying there unconscious as my body floated into the air and jerked side to side like something out of a horror movie.
There were many cracks as my bones broke all over my body.
My limbs moved like there were strings attached and some puppetmaster was controlling me.
My good eye started growing until it was huge and it merged with my other one.
My legs and arms formed a triangle shape.
My head spun around, detached and reattached to my neck.
My body started spinning until it was a blur.
There was a flash of blinding white light and then I was in the woods.
I started to laugh.
I could see everything!
I wandered aimlessly for what felt like an eternity, giving the things that I deemed meatsacks the joy of their worst fears tormenting them as they slept.
I made deals with them and over and over again, screwed them over thousands and thousands of times.
I watched in the background as these two twin brothers grew up.
What intrigued me was they investigated the weird things in the town.
The one with six fingers that I deemed Sixer documented them in a journal until he seemed to hit a wall.
He told his twin that I deemed Fez, that there had to be more strange things!
"There just had to be!"
Sixer started searching for ways to find the strange and stranger, but it was like they were hiding from him as he said.
They actually weren't.
I was finding out all of the creatures' secrets and finding their weaknesses just so I could but into their lives.
It would be amusing to make another deal after all!
I inscribed things that would lead Sixer to me, onto the wall of a hidden cave in the woods.
I gave him a little push and he found the place!
He wrote down the confusing to him, letters and went to his home and chanted them just before he went to sleep.
He didn't know what it meant yet but he figured out that he would have to chant it.
I appeared in his dreams and greeted him like an old friend.
"Sixer! Nice to see you!"
He confusedly looked around the grey version of the room and asked who I was.
"Why, I'm Bill Cipher! Dream demon extraordinaire! I've been watching you and Fez and saw that you could use a little help!"
He asked how I could help him.
"Sixer, sixer, sixer. I see everything. Want my help?" I asked.
I held out my hand that was enveloped in my magical blue flames,
"What's in it for you?" He asked suspiciously.
"Ah Sixer, Suspicious as always! I just want you and Fez to be my friends!"
I noted how he was about to disagree and added the cherry on top.
"Don't you want to understand everything strange in Gravity Falls? Don't you want to document all of the creatures in that journal of yours?" I had asked.
"How do you know about that?" He asked.
"I see everything." I replied, as if it was the most simple thing in the world to understand.
"You just want friends? That's all?" He asked in disbelief.
I sort of nodded as best as I could, as I was a floating pyramid.
"Do we have a deal?" I asked.
He thought about it and then took my flaming hand, still unsure.
From then on I taught him about all of the creatures in Gravity falls.
Their strengths, the things that could destroy them in a blink of an eye, everything strange about the place.
One journal turned to two, then finally three.
I noticed that he left two pages blank in the middle, and he wouldn't answer me what they were for.
I convinced him to build a portal where he could "find more answers".
In reality, I was growing bored of his and Fez's friendship.
This portal was to my realm that I had been constructing, but he didn't know that.
Then Sixer and Fez started working with Glasses and on a test run, everything went wrong.
Glasses was sucked partly into the portal, but a cord kept him from going all the way through.
Glasses was pulled out and he stopped talking to Fez and Sixer.
He wouldn't answer when they asked what he's seen.
He'd seen my nightmares and a smaller version of hell as he knew it, and those thirty seconds felt like an eternity to the male meatsack.
He invented a gun to erase his memories of what he'd seen.
He just couldn't take it anymore.
Before he did however, Sixer found out my only weakness by complete mistake when I couldn't control one of my regular episodes.
Thus he filled in the last two pages in his journal.
Guess he never truly trusted me as I'd hoped.
Man, he would have made an even more excellent puppet.
Glasses erased his memories and Sixer somehow hid his journals without me seeing.
It was a short period of blindness until I could see again.
Then Sixer was sucked into the portal and Fez lost it.
Sixer had warned him that I was just using them, and gave him a note before hedisappeared.
Fez used the note to gather certain people for the note.
They drew my zodiac wheel on the ground of the very cave that Sixer found the inscribed letters about me.
They stepped into their corresponding sections and I could do nothing to stop it as they'd warded the dang place with unicorn hair.
They chanted something and I was sucked into the cave when the unicorn hair abruptlydisappeared.
I recognized the language as my own, but how did Fez know about it??
As I was sucked into the center, Fez told me about what really happened on the day of my episode.
I told Sixer about my plans, and worse, that the language that I used was in fact three letters backwards from normal english and that demons could be kept away with unicorn hair!
Damn it!
Then I even drew my own wheel in my blood.
Sixer wrote everything down in that stupid journal of his.
When I started to disappear, Fez kicked me in my eye and said that it was for his brother.
Then I was ripped to shreds and existed only in my own mindscape, watching the goings on of gravity falls.
Always watching.
I watched as a new pair of twins came to the town and started to discover the strange things as well.
While this went on, I discovered something strange about myself.
I could move through time and space, which explained how I could go back to a time that I was surely being tortured with... wait who was I being tortured with again?
Well I couldn't remember, so whoever it was didn't matter I guessed.
Anyways, I could travel to a time that I was being tortured in as a human which hardly made sense as I should have been...
Should have been what?
I puzzled over it for the longest, coming up blank, so I decided that it didn't matter either.
They discovered gnomes first, well the kid that I'd dubbed Pinetree because of his hat, had.
Pinetree thought that his sister's boyfriend was a zombie at first, but I had to hand it to him.
He was smart.
Probably because he and shooting star came from the same family tree a Sixer.
Ah Sixer.
I wondered how my old friend was faring.
Then this chubby kid named Gideon had a fight with Fez about the deed to the Mystery Shack.
When he was looking for ways to take the deed from ole' Fez, I guided him to the journal.
I was already determined to screw him and Fez over, but became even more so when the kid dared to call me his minion!
I laughed when I was summoned.
"Oh. OH. GrAvIty FaLlS! It iS GoOd To bE bacK!" I said gleefully.
"Names Bill Cipher! And I take it you're some sort of living ventriloquist dummy?" I said to the kid, laughing at the look that I received in response.
"I'm just kidding! I know who you are Gideon!" I said.
"WHAT ARE YOU? HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME?!!" The chubby kid yelled at me.
"Oh I know lots of things. LoTs Of ThInGs!" I said in my more demonic tone, flashing images through my triangular body.
"Hey! Look what I can do!" I said, holding a hand out and pulling out a nearby deer's teeth with my magic.
"DEER TEETH! For you kid!" I laughed, pouring them into his hands.
He gave a cut off scream and dropped them.
"You're insane!" He exclaimed.
"Sure I am. What's your point?" I replied, sending the deer teeth back into the deer's mouth.
"LISTEN TO ME DEMON! I HAVE A JOB FOR YOU!" The kid screamed at me.
I was beginning to lose my patience with the kid.
Didn't he know that I could end him in an instant?
Where's the fun in that though, when I knew trillions of ways , and more, to torture someone?
He lowered his voice, "I need you to enter the mind of Stanford Pines and steal the code to his safe!"
I laughed.
"Wait... Stan Pines?"
I pause to look for Fez on my body, just for the suspense.
Of course I knew that he meant Fez, because old Sixer was still trapped in my realm!
"You know what kid? You've convinced me! I'm sold!I'll help you with this and in return you can help me with something I've been working on! We'll work out the details later."
"Deal!" The kid exclaimed.
I hold out my hand engulfed in my magical blue flames and the kid shakes it.
"This should be fun! Remember: reality is an illusion, the universe is a hologram, buy gold, bye!"
I disappear back into my dreadful mindscape and continue watching.
"It worked!" The pig of a kid exclaimed, throwing his head back in an evil laugh that he really needed to work on.
I watched as Question Mark told Pinetree of what the chubby kid had done and Pinetree, resourceful as always, remembered seeing me somewhere in Sixer's third journal.
He read aloud my info and Shooting Star and him gasped.
I had enough of watching and snapped my fingers, entering Fez's mind as he slept.
Iset a few of my nightmares free into Fez's mind, laughing when he screamed.
Then I sensed Pinetree, Shooting Star, and Question Mark enter after me as I wreaked havoc.
I didn't really need to find the safe's code, as I remembered it from watching him and Sixer so much, but this really was fun.
Shooting star said,"Remember everyone, we've got to look out for the triangle guy." just as I appeared.
"Yeah, look out for the triangle guy!" I mocked.
"It's him! It's the guy!" Question Mark exclaimed.
"You leave our uncle's brain alone, you isosceles monster!" Shooting Star exclaimed, running through my body.
Seconds later she reappeared.
"Gotcha! Wait, what?"
"Ah, Stan's family, we meet at last! Question Mark, Shooting Star, Pinetree, I had a hunch I might bump into you!" I said, shooting a hole into Pinetree's chest.
Pinetree screamed and breathed heavily.
Shooting Star stuck a hand through the hole unhelpfully.
Then I was confronted and I explained what I was doing there and how I knew what each of them were thinking.
The last part was met with doubt until I made two anime characters appear next to shooting star, that she was crushing on.
Then I pretended to leave after a few more seconds, saying,"You're out of your league, kids. Turn around now before you see something you might regret. Later, suckers!"
In reality I pretended to be Question Mark, as he had stopped to watch one of Fez's memories, and I followed them as they passed door after door and watched a few of Fez's memories.
When they found the door, still pretending to be Question Mark, I said,"
Wait! Maybe I should do it! My big fat arms are great at destroying stuff!"
After some agreement I levitated the door up and scanned the memory for the fun of it!
Then Question Mark walked in and talked about what memory he'd been watching.
Then noticing that there were two of him he said,"Hey, something weird is goin' on here."
I laughed and then changed back to my true form.
"Boy, you kids sure are gullible! I knew you'd lead me straight to the code!"
Then I Laughed some more.
"It's funny how dumb you are." I said, then disappeared.
What followed was, I was opening every door that I passed idly, then the pig kid called me to verify that I'd gotten the code.
As if I hadn't!
As I was relaying the code however, the door that I was standing in was hit by a nyarf gun and the door fell into the memory's bottomless pit.
"Ah! No no no! Wait, no!" I said.
The the idiot kid cancelled our deal and I started taking my anger out on the three kids that caused this.
But just as I thought I was winning... they realized that by facing their fears or changing them into something 'better' they could defeat me.
'And they were about to also!', I thought to myself, as a hole appeared beneath me and some other things happened.
"No, no, no! ENOUGH!!" I exclaimed.
Iturned everything white and became yellow again.
"You know, I've been impressed with you guys. You are more clever than you look. Especially the fat one."
Question Mark whispered something to Shooting star.
Then I conceded.
"So I'm gonna let you kids off the hook. You might come in handy later. BUT KNOW THIS: A darkness approaches. A day will come in the future when everything you care about will change! Until then I'll be watching you! I'LL BE WATCHING YOU..."
I made my ending words echo and left, resolving to myself that I could get them all back later.
I watched as they left Fez's mind and celebrated amongst themselves.
Then the idiotic kid Gideon stole the deed and used a wrecking ball to smash a hole into the wall, declare that he had the deed, smashed the shack's sigh, kicked the meatsacks and Pinetree out, and then took over the town.
Then they won the town back after fighting the pig kid.
I continued watching the meatsack's adventures, until Pinetree found an old laptop that said contained the information about the author of the journals that he'd become so obsessed about.
I tricked him into a deal, possessed his body for a while, while causing him pain, but then Shooting Star realized that it was me and her and Pinetree defeated me again.
It was getting kind of annoying, and a small part of me that I'd locked away, started fearing Pinetree.
Then I decide to take Gravity falls and then the world by storm and unleashed Weirdmageddon, letting all of my creations have free reign.
At this point, Sixer was back.
They all plotted to destroy me and thought that I would just sit back and let it happen!
Then I captured old Sixer and Pinetree pathetically confronted me.
But, even though it was pathetic, I was impressed.
Then came the point where I threatened to kill the twins just to see what Fordsy would do.
Of course I made it land on Shooting Star though, because I would just make Pinetree my pet because he had impressed me.
Sixer who was actually Fez tricked me into a deal.
Luckily for me, I had made a small copy of myself enter his mind.
That part of me contained most of one of my deadly sins.
The one I chose was Gluttony, because I wouldn't miss it.
After that part was erased from me and I disappearedinto the woods, I suddenly had a bout of sanity and crashed to the forest floor.
In quick succession, I remembered my brother Will.
I layed there pitifully, remembering everything else that had happened.
As more and more sanity was restored, and I started to feel Will's emotional presence again, my mind locked away the worst of the memories, and my body was restored to its former human form.
After all of that, Ijust teleported to my tree home that I had once shared with my brother that I missed so dearly, and I made a promise to him.
I took out my only picture of him and said, "Will, I promise to you that I will make things right again, and when I do, I'm going to come and find you little brother. I will express my sorrow and regret, as well as why I came to do what I now have, to a member of the Pines family, since they were the most harmed, and I will accept any of the harsh words that that member dishes out to me, then I'm coming to find you. And I hope that whoever made you feel all of that pain and sadness since you've been gone, knows that they won't get away with it. "
My eyes flash pure black and then I gently put the portrait away.
The memories end at that point and Pinetree and I exit my mind.
I sit at the edge of his bed, tears making my vision blurry, self hatred consuming me.
I feel rather than hear him sit on my lap and push my face against his chest.
I let it all out, and when I think I'm done, I cry a bit more, still fearing the worst.
When I actually am finished an eternity later, Pinetree just pulls my face into his hands and kisses me.
I am shocked yet again by the love that find there, as well as in his eyes.
Pinetree chuckles in my mind.
'Get used to it already! I love you! And I forgive you for the trillionth time Bill, not that you need to be forgiven because insanity controlled your actions anyways, not you!'
He pulls back.
I move to protest.
Pinetree kisses me again.
'None of that! I agreed to be your fiance for one you loon. Part of the traditional vows when you marry someone is to be there sickness and health for someone. Plus I agreed with nothing but love, trust, and forgiveness for you in my heart. I forgave you that day in the woods bozo! Now stop moping over things I've forgiven you for already, and let me show you since you still haven't seemed to grasp the concept of my love for you yet!' He says in my mind.
I slowly melt into the kiss, smiling at the jibes.
A/N: Hey guys! I hope that you liked this chapter!
I didn't describe weirdmageddon and all of the bad things Bill did bc you guys should already know about it lol. This chapter wasn't, I guess, as 'light hearted' as you may think though. Bill in weirdmageddon in this story tortured the citizens of gravity falls that he captured in his fearamid, unfreezing them for a while when he was bored, he destroyed a lot of peoples lives, and he even forgot about his own brother! I just didn't go into much, if any, detail about the torture though bc my mindset right now is literally a redeemed Bill. Plus when a character takes over to write their story through my fingers on here, I feel their emotions. I don't really want a memory of Bill torturing people (to the point of removing skin and limbs, and breaking bones over and over etc) etched into my mind. I'm gonna go to sleep after I post this and I really don't want the creepy psychopathic memories to give me nightmares.
Anyways, I hope you guys liked it!
Plz RR and vote. Let me know what you thought.
Hope you guys are doing well :)
