Don't Erase my Mind!
Here's the second part of "Society of the Blind Eye" Hope you'll like it.
Hey, did anyone notice that in the scene when they took off casing down one of the members of the Blind Eye and Dipper wasn't there? Goof Glitch. And you know something else, I shared this with one of my family member's and she points out that McGucket has a band-aid on his beard. It took all of my will power not to laugh or say anything, until it got to that scene. She laughed of course.
'Bill thinking'
'Dipper thinking'
"Bill mind talking" 'thinking'
"Dipper mind talking" 'thinking'
The sun was starting to set by the time they got to the history museum. Dipper/Bill waved his hand over the window unlocking it from the inside and slide it open. "Dude, despite what had happen to you. That was pretty slick." Wendy complimented as she, Soos and McGucket climb through the now open window.
As Dipper/Bill got in, he heard Soos called out "Hello? Anyone here?" Bill/Dipper walks over to him. "Question Mark, the idea of breaking in and finding out who or what the blind eye is. Is to be quiet and not to drawn attention to ourselves." Realizing his mistake, Soos giggles quietly and replied "Right dawg, got it." Dipper/Bill then took over "Good. All right, keep your eyes peeled for anything suspicious."
Mable how came in last walks a little off in the room and sighs in sadness, Wendy saw this and ask. "Mabel, are you okay? You just walked by a cat without petting it." The cat being a mountain lion. Mable turns around and explains "Oh Wendy, everything I look at reminds me of failed romances. That formaldehyde heart." the heart in the jar has an arrow in it, "That romantic diorama." it was a wax couple that shows a woman being carried over the man's shoulder while throwing an angry fit, "Even this poster of my most recent Poop-head of an ex-crush."
Mable tars down the poster of the boy that was part of reason that got herself and Dipper into this mess in the beginning, she still hates him, but not as much as she hates herself. But once Mable took the poster down, another poster shows her old crush before Gabe, Seve'ral Timez. "Aw, come on!"
Turning his attention away from his sister's romance trouble, Dipper/Bill ask McGucket, "So your last memory was here. Anything coming back?" just as those words left Dipper/Bill's mouth, Soos spots someone down at the very end of the hallway, "Guys look!" he points to the mysterious figure as that persons runs down the corner.
They all gave chase, "Hey, who's there!?" Dipper/Bill calls out, but when they reach the corner, they came to a dead end room with no mysterious person in sight. "Well kettle my corn. He vanish-ified."
Dipper/Bill looked around the room "It doesn't make sense. Where did he go?" 'Pine-Tree, try to use the eyes to see.' 'The eyes?' McGucket backs up getting creeped out at the eyeballs "I feel like all these eyeballs are a-watchin' me." That's it! Dipper/Bill closed his eyes to see throw one of the triangle eyes near him, he got the image of McGucket's back, "Not all of them. Move aside."
McGucket took a step away to reveal an Egyptian stone cut into a triangle with an eye centered in the middle, Dipper/Bill walked over to it and press it. The sounds of gears shifting caught everyone's attention, turning to the only light in the room, the fireplace, moved out of the way to reveal, "A secret passageway." Dipper/Bill announces, "Jackpot." said Wendy.
"We'll have to be stealthy." McGucket states "I'll hambone a message if there's trouble." he then slaps his elbows, knees arms and head. Bill/Dipper gave him a look before asking "Why would coyotes would be coming for our sweetbreads?"
Soos, Wendy and Mable looks at Dipper/Bill "Dude, you can actually understand that?" Soos asked, while Dipper/Bill replies to them quietly so that McGucket wouldn't know, "Question Mark, my last name is Cipher. And I live up to it, I can decode every cryptograms in the multiverse. I even taught Pine-Tree how to decode them." "That is both cool and a bit creepy." said Wendy, "How so?" "Well, it's like you're starting to become more like a different person, Dipper." Wendy explained, "But I'm still the same guy, how likes to decode puzzles and mysteries." said Dipper/Bill, Wendy then said "I didn't mean it in a bad way, it's just. Its still hard to excepted this new change."
Bill/Dipper walk down the steps while answering back, "Not all change is bad or good, same thing can be said about different. But it certainly doesn't mean, not the same."
Without anything else to add on to their conversation, the rest of the team follows Dipper/Bill down the steps quietly, before they heard chanting voices behind a read curtain. "Novus ordo seclorum" repeating, "It's Latin." said Dipper/Bill "A New Order of the Ages. Just what the hack do they mean?"
After the red robes finish their canting, one of them, probably the leader, walks forward and ask "Who is the subject of our meeting?" two more came up bringing a lady in with a sack bag over her head. "This woman." the two announce as they removed the sack to reveal. "Lazy Susan?" Mable quietly question the scene they are watching.
The two members straps her down in a chair and the leader ask her a question, "What is it you have seen?" all of the members shouted "SPEAK!" and so she did. " Uh, well, uh, I was leaving the diner, and I saw these little bearded doodads, and I was, like, 'Bwaaa?'."
'So she saw some gnomes near by.' 'Kid, don't you see? This whole town is surrounded by weirdness and mythical creatures, and yet no one said anything about them or mentions them in any reports or articles from this town. Now why is that?' Bill was right. How come no one said anything before? Unless...
The leader then opens a medium size chest and pulls out some kind of ray gun. "There, there. You won't be like "Bwaaa?" for much longer." All of the members covered their hoods as the leader dialed the switch as Lazy Susan talks to them with questions "What is that gizmo? It looks like a hair dryer. Are you guys barbers?" It was at that moment, Dipper/Bill, Mable, Wendy, Soos and McGucket never felt more frighten and scared in their entire life.
The leader shot a bright light blue beam at Lazy Susan in the face, as she screams in pain and agony. Her eyes were large and disoriented before shrinking back to normal and her eyelid falls back down.
"Lazy Susan, what do you know of little bearded men?" the Leader ask, and the woman in question answers like a robot, "My mind is cleared, thanks to the Society of the Blind Eye." The whole society raise their arms to the air and announce "It is unseen!" Dipper and Bill couldn't believe what they had just witness, "Oh my gosh. They erased Lazy Susan's memory."
McGucket even hambone his message at what they have seen, a slap and two quick ones on the side of his head. And today, Dipper knew a new curse word in hambone code.
Oh, **%! indeed.
Dipper/Bill turn to look back at the group, "Guys, are you seeing this? They just wiped Lazy Susan's memory!" he spoke softly, "They should've wiped off that awful mascara." Soos chuckles a bit but that laugh didn't last long. "I think she looks beautiful, Soos!" "She's doing the best she can, Soos!" the only girls present scolded at him for making such a bad joke. "Whoa! Touched a nerve there."
The two members unstrapped her, as their leader approaches her again and ask, "Lazy Susan, how do you feel?" Lazy Susan got out the chair and was walked out of the secret sanctuary before replying. "I feel great! I can't even remember what was wrong, or what I'm doing here, or if I'm a man or a woman!"
"Oh, your memories will be safe with us, buried in the Hall of the Forgotten." The Leader spoke, as he opens the memory eraser gun taking out some kind of tube and wrote Lazy Susan's full name and have it suck up into a air lock pipe sending it to the Hall of the Forgotten, many of the members started to chanting "Into the Hall of the Forgotten. Into the Hall of the Forgotten." while the leader praises them, "Good chanting, boys. Have you been practicing?"
Dipper/Bill and Mable shut the curtains before anyone could see them. They were lucky that no one did, and the leader announces "Meeting adjourned." all of the members left while saying "Unseen you later." a play on words of "I'll see you later."
Once all of the members have left, Dipper/Bill, Mable, McGucket, Wendy and Soos came out from their hiding spot. Dipper/Bill picked up the memory gun in fear and awe before putting it back, "Amazing. A secret society of evil mind erasers."
Dipper/Bill turns his attention to McGucket, and said "I'll bet they erased your memory a long time ago." A thought just occur to Dipper/Bill "If we could find where your memories have been hidden, it could be the key to unlocking all the mysteries of Gravity Falls." With a plan in mind, Bill/Dipper took charge, "All right, Shooting Star, Red, you two stay here and make sure those robe guys don't come back."
Wendy ruffles Mable's hair and cheered "Whoo! girl's club." Dipper/Bill turns to Soos and said "Soos, you, me, and McGucket are gonna go find the Hall of the Forgotten." and at moment Soos's hat got sucked up into one of the pipes leading out of the room, 'perfect!' "Follow that hat!" the tree(four) men ran out of the room, while keeping their eyes on the hat, they were back in the museum halls when a voice called out. "Halt! Is someone there?" It was one of the members of the secret society and he wasn't alone.
The tree nearly panic, but not much as McGucket, "Aah! What do we do? Where do we go?" until they quickly blend in with the display stands, Soos a woman holding a fake baby bundle and McGucket as himself as a prospector, while Dipper/Bill became invisible. Bill did not want to disguise himself and Dipper as a baby, please at least let them have some dignity.
When they were looking at them, one of the members tried to fix the eyes on McGucket to make them see straight, but failed. How he kept still as the man touched his eyes without giving them away, is a huge mystery.
"Man, these are really poorly made." "I could've sworn I heard someone." The two then left them alone but still kept talking, "Probably just the janitor kissing that wax settler woman again." "Whoof! Remind me to erase that from my memory."
Once the coast is clear, they let out a sigh of relief. Suddenly, Soos's hat flew right over their heads, literally. "There it is, hurry!" they continue to follow the hat to another hidden room, only to get their they had to slide down the pipe, but their were pretty sure there was another way around, once they made it down the pipe went through a giant door.
Dipper/Bill opens it to reveal thousands upon thousands of memory tubes. All belonging to the resident people of Gravity Falls. "Honey fogelin', saltlickin' skullduggery." McGucket exclaimed, Soos chuckles "Man, you have got to teach me those old-man swear words."
Meanwhile with Wendy and Mable
The two girls were hanging around sitting on one of the steps, to pass the time Mable starts to explain why she never seem to have a long lasting relationship with a guy. "I just don't get it, Wendy. I hug a lot, I can burp the alphabet, I have scratch and sniff clothing. Why does every boy leave me?"
Wendy waved her hand and said "Pfft, who cares? Boys are the worst. You shouldn't get hung up, man." Mable wasn't going to let this topic of her problem go, "Maybe I come on too strong, you know?"
That's when Wendy ask if she is, "Well, what's your opener? Pretend I'm a boy." she stuffs her long hair into her hat and make a fake mustache out of it, testing out her voice to sound like a man, "Mmm, testosterone." and spits off to the side, like a boy. She's in character. Mable inhales a deep breath in that one breath, she shouts, "HI! I'M MABEL! I'M TWELVE AND I OWN A PIG! WANT TO GET MARRIED?!"
Wendy couldn't help it, she had to laugh it was just funny to see her like this, "Honestly, that was perfect. You should just forget about guys, man." Wendy complemented as she undo her hair, but that sparks an idea in Mable's head. "Wendy, that's it. Forget about guys!" a bad one.
Mable ran to the chair, sits in it and pulls out the memory eraser gun, "I just need to type "summer romances" into this thing, and I won't feel bad about them anymore." Wendy quickly tries to stop her, "Whoa, hold up, Mabel. We don't even know what that thing does. You could accidentally erase, like, learning to read, or breathe, or..."
"Or one of those terrible summer songs you can't get out of your head?" Mable gave Wendy that idea in her head, but a worry thought covered over her. 'If she did forget her summer romance, than what's going to happen to Dipper?'
Back with Dipper/Bill, Soos and McGucket
The guys were looking through all of the tubes trying to find McGucket's memories, but as Soos would put it, "Whoa, look at all these tubes. People must've been getting their memories erased all over town." Its true. The piles of tubes are touching the ceiling.
'Mmm.' 'What is it, Bill?' 'It's that year, 1982. Thirty years ago this must be how long the whole memory wipe has been happening.' 'Does that mean your memory of you big plan is coming back?' 'Sort of. There's still a blank in all of this and all of it is connected to something big, and we're talking really big.'
Dipper wants to keep questioning Bill, but something caught is eye. A memory tube that belongs to Robbie. "Whoa, look at this."
Finding a machine that plays the memories, Dipper/Bill got it set up and place Robbie's memory tube in. The screen was static for a moment, but then it cleared up showing Robbie being strapped down in the same chair as Lazy Susan. "Tell us, Robbie. What is it that you have seen?" Robbie answers "So I was attacked by this magic kung fu guy that was throwing, like, balls of fire at me. I kicked his butt though." But the leader wasn't buying it, "Robbie, speak honestly." he did, "I was saved by a 12 year old."
The memory ended, Dipper/Bill turns to Soos who was watching the memory while McGucket wanders off to find his memory tube. "Why are they erasing peoples' memories? I still don't get it." Just then, McGucket called out to them from the statue of a blind eye priest that has Soos's hat on.
"Looky, fellers. It's those words what people call me." Dipper/Bill and Soos looks up to where McGucket was pointing at, behind the statue were lines of other tubes and one of them at the very end has McGucket's name on it. "Oh, dude, your memories. We did it!" said Soos as he retrieved his hat back on his head.
"Grabby, grabby." The old man grab his memory tube, unaware that by doing so he set off an alarm. "I got it!"
Back with Mable and Wendy
Just as Mable was going to finish typing 'SUMMER ROMANCE' into the gun, Wendy stops her again, "Mable, stop. This isn't a good idea." Mable reply, "All ideas are good ideas." Wendy just have had enough and slap the gun out of Mable's hands.
"Mable listen to me! If you erase those failed summer romances, you would be also erasing how Dipper got fused with-! Did you hear that?" That's when Mable realize that she was about to make a big mistake and that the alarm went off.
Back with the Boys
"The Alarm in my brain is a-ringin' again. Ah!" The security camera that was disguised as an eye look over to McGucket startling him into dropping his memory tube. It would have been shattered if it wasn't for Dipper/Bill catching it with his magic.
The doors burst open, two of the secret society members came charging in. "Halt, who's there?" they called out, "Oh no." "Run!" Dipper/Bill and Soos made a run for it while McGucket crawled down the statue and hide behind it. "Get back here!" one of the member's yelled, chasing after Soos and Dipper/Bill.
McGucket saw them chasing the youngsters and said to himself, "Oh, you've really tarred it up now, Fiddleford. This is all your fault." feeling so guilty about giving away their presences, McGucket then notice something. "Why does my beard have a bandage? Does that even make sense? Why has no one pointed that out?"
Meanwhile, the two members ran passed some Egyptian god statues unaware that Dipper/Bill and Soos gave them the slip. 'I think we're safe.' as soon as Dipper thought that, four pairs of hands came out of the darkness and covered their eyes. "We playing "Guess Who"? Dude, I know it's you, Dipper. Such big... strong hands..." said Soos, as he and Dipper/Bill are pulled into the darkness.
Time Skip
Dipper/Bill and Soos were dragged to a pillar with Wendy and Mable as they were tied up with rope and chains, chains for Dipper/Bill. They struggled to break free and try to burn the rope but not to burn anyone.
The leader bend down and took McGucket's memory tube out of Dipper/Bill's hands, "You shouldn't have come here. We do not give up our secrets lightly." he said, "Who are you bathrobe-wearing freaks?" "Why are you doing this?" "What's with your creepy British accent?" Wendy, Dipper/Bill and Mable question him.
So he gave in and answers "Well, I suppose we are going to erase your minds anyway." he nodded his head to his fellow members and one by one, they each removed their hoods to them. Toby Determined. Bud Gleeful. The farmer guy, who gave Mable Waddles, and many more including. "Creepy dude who married a woodpecker? You too?" said Soos, "How's that marriage goin, by the way?" The man replies that it's great, but leans close to him and whispers "Not great." hoping his woodpecker wife doesn't hear him.
"And you've never met me before. And if you had, you wouldn't remember." The leader removes his hood, to reveal his bald head covered in tattoos of areas of the brain is made up. But what really stood out was a red scar over his right eye, and his eyes were different color his left eye is blue, while his right eye is red.
"I am Blind Ivan, and we are the Society of the Blind Eye." All of the members raised a single hand and wipe it across their eyes, as a sign to forget. "Formed many years ago by our founder... our founder... Does anyone remember who he was?" Blind Ivan turns to his fellow members if they remember who their founder is, but they were stumped as him. "We've been usin' that ray on our own brains an awful lot." Bud openly admitted.
Bill/Dipper mutters under his breath quietly "No wonder your all so dumb that it's funny." Dipper/Bill then said to them "Why would you do all this? What do you have to gain?"
"As you have no doubt discovered, Gravity Falls is a town plagued with supernatural strangeness. No one knew how to stop the things that went bump in the night, so our founder invented the next best thing: a way for us to forget. We took it upon ourselves to help the troubled townsfolk by erasing the memories of the strange things they've seen. Now the people of Gravity Falls go about their lives ignorant and happy, thanks to us." Blind Ivan explains, it all makes sense now. How everyone his not aware of the strange and weird things that happens her in Gravity Falls and why no one seem to report it in their history. They weren't helping the town. They were making everyone so stupid and dumb! Who knows how many lives were destroyed by them or that they were the caused of someone's life to end.
Blind Ivan wasn't finished "And as a perk, we help ourselves forget things that trouble us. Everyone has something they'd rather forget. In fact, your own sister was about to use that ray on herself. Isn't that right?" 'What?!'
"Mable! Seriously!?" Dipper/Bill and Bill/Dipper said angrily, Mable laughs nervously before replying "I was until, Wendy pointed out that I would also forget about you." his eyes widen with realization, if they forget who they are or that they were fused together, than they will never remember anything about their old lives!
Bill/Dipper took charge "Don't you idiots get it!? This whole thing is ruining the mind and lives!" Dipper/Bill took over, "What about Old Man McGucket? He lives in a hut and talks to animals, thanks to you. Don't you feel bad about that?"
Blind Ivan thought for a moment, "Mmm, maybe a little." before erasing his thoughts with the gun, "But not anymore." he then dialed the words "SUMMER" into the device before pointing it at them. "You won't be telling anyone else what you've learned here. Say good-bye to your summer." 'This is bad.' Bill panic, 'Really bad! Hurry Pine-Tree!' 'I'm trying!'
Soos then spoke, "Guys, if we're gonna forget everything, I got some stuff I wanna get off my chest. Mabel, for half the summer, I thought your name was Maple, like the syrup. No one corrected me!" Mable admits, "I only love some of my stuffed animals, and the guilt of not being there for my brother is killing me!" Dipper/Bill then admits, "Sometimes I use big words, and I don't actually know what they mean. I mean, I'm supposed to be the smart guy. If I'm not the smart guy, who am I?" Wendy admits the truth, "Okay, I'm not actually laid back. I'm stressed, like, 24/7. Have you met my family?"
They continue to tell more of their secrets and truths, even Bill admitted "I actually regret my actions what I did back home!" and "I wish to see my family and loved ones again!" But the Blind Eye members thought it was just all normal nonsense. "Oh, stop being a bunch of babies."
Suddenly, the memory gun was knocked out of Blind Ivan's hand, "Owie!" hard.
Out of no where, McGucket came out carrying a bunch of tools, "McGucket!" The gang cheered, He cut the ropes and braked the chains that were binding them, "I raided the mining display for weapons. Now fight like a hillbilly, fellers!"
Wendy grabbed a Banjo, Mable holds a stuffed racoon and Soos has an informational display about dysentery. "Oh, nobody better miss!" he says seriously, and Dipper/Bill he lit his hands on fire. "They know too much. Don't let them escape!" Blind Ivan ordered, the fight for their minds is on.
Smacking and whacking the members on the head with the banjo, Wendy said "Get this song out of your head!" while Soos chase down one of the members saying "Dysentery's gonna get you, dawg!" With all of them fighting, Dipper/Bill spotted "McGucket's memory tube!" and ran to get it. "Oh no you don't!" Tats the tattoo biker shouted as he throws a punch at him.
With quick thinking, Bill/Dipper sent the tube into the pipe and dodge the punch, just in time. The tattoo biker got his fist stuck in the wall allowing Dipper/Bill to use 1% of his strength to break is wrist. "Oh yes, I do. Shooting Star, catch!"
Despite what Bill has done, Mable saw the memory tube and tries to get it, only for the Farmer to take it "I'll take that, thank you." He tries to run, but Soos was blocking him "Give it up, boy. You're no match for the unstoppable power of-" He didn't get to finish his sentence, for his rob got caught in the tube pipe, ripping off of him, revealing him in his underwear and skinny hairy bear-belly body. "That's right, I don't wear nothin' under my robe. Not gonna apologize for that. Maybe y'all should apologize for bein' a bunch of prudes."
Everyone, including Bill Cipher, were grossed out at the sight in front of them. Soos got hold of the memory gun, points it up to his head and said, "Well, time to erase that forever."
Blind Ivan shoves Soos knocking him over and taking the gun back, he turns to Dipper/Bill "Give me that tube!" he demands, "Never!" Dipper and Bill cried, he then levitates it out of harms way, "That memory belongs to McGucket." but Blind Ivan wasn't going to stand for it. "The Society's secrets belong to us." he sharply aims at Dipper/Bill. "End of the line."
It really is; if Bill looses his hold on the tube it will smash on the floor. If he tries to fight him he would be loosing more energy. And if he set it off to the side Blind Ivan would've gone after it. "By tomorrow, this will all seem like a bad dream. Say goodbye to your precious memories."
The gun hums ready to fire.
"NO!" Dipper and Bill shield themselves from incoming hit, dropping McGucket's memory tube in the prosses. With quick action, Mable dove after the tube catching it before it could hit the ground. And McGucket jump in front of Dipper taking the hit.
Bill/Dipper look up to see what had happened, "Specs. You... You took a bullet for me. For us." He got hit again, "Oh my gosh! Are you okay?!" the old man blinks and says "Okay as I'll ever be!" and laughs as he moves forward at the Blind Ivan. Leaving Dipper and Bill, and everyone else dumbfounded, "What?"
Blind Ivan kept shooting at McGucket and with each shot he ask, "Why... isn't... this... working?" and with each shot, McGucket answers back, " Hit me with your best shot, Baldy. But my mind's been gone for thirty-odd years. You can't break what's already broken!"
No matter how many times he shoots, Blind Ivan lost this battle. McGucket laughs at his desperate effort as he smack the gun out of his hand, grabbing onto his robe McGucket shouted "Say goodnight, Sally!" and gave him the most hardest headbutt ever. And with that, the fight was over.
Mable shows Dipper/Bill that she's got McGucket's memory tube safe and undamaged. Dipper/Bill never felt prouder for his sister's actions. Using their power, Dipper/Bill gathered all of the society members into the same pillar they were tied to, only this time they are the ones who are tied up. Curtesy of Soos. "Unhand us!" Blind Ivan demands, but wasn't going to get what he wanted. "It isn't so fun being tied up, is it?" Mable then gets a funny brilliant idea "Hey, wanna draw on their faces?" "What?"
With a black marker, She crosses out the tattooed word of "KNOLODGE" and wrote "BUTTS" under it. Getting a good laugh out of everyone, "That's not funny!" Except for the leader. "It's pretty funny." Dipper/Bill comment, and Soos said "It's, like, objectively funny."
Humiliated and out raged at their failure to make them forget everything, Blind Ivan screams "You think you have won!? That everything will be okay now?! No one will be safe anymore! No one will be protected! We may have lost today, but I swear! We'll have our revenge. We'll never forget what you've done, you freak!"
Neither Dipper nor Bill was in control, as the boy cast his down and his body shook with rage, That's when Blind Ivan realize the memory eraser gun is in Dipper/Bill's hands. Typing in their Society name, "Oh, I wouldn't betoo sure about that, and I think you just might." taking careful aim, the last thing Ivan and the Members heard was "Say cheese."
Time Skip
"Thanks for visiting the Museum for Gold Miner Appreciation Night. Be sure to tip the gold miner on your way out." All of the members dressed in their everyday clothes walks out of the Museum giving tips to McGucket. 'Guess working with Grunkle Stan really pays off.' 'True. How about we do something like this in the future again?' 'Don't push our luck.'
There was a bit of a hiccup, it turns out that the leader has completely forgotten his name and who he is. But luckily Mable was there to help. "Your name is Toot-toot McBumbersnazzle. You're a traveling banjo minstrel, with a song in your heart, and funny tattoos on your head."
And it work. Blind Ivan, now Toot-toot, left the museum singing as he please.
Once all of the Blind Eye Society was gone. The gang went back to the Hall of the Forgotten to play McGucket's lost memories. Dipper/Bill turns on the machine and ask, "All right, McGucket, are you ready to see your memories? Find out who you really are?" the old man was having some doubts "I'm not so sure. What if I don't like what I see?" but Mable reassures him, "We've come all this way. Go on."
McGucket places his tube into the machine, and on the screen was a younger version of himself from thirty years ago. "My name is Fiddleford Hadron McGucket, and I wish to unsee what I have seen." Everyone gasp at this, "Sweet sarsaparilla." the old McGucket was even more shocked.
The younger McGucket looked distraught, "For the past year, I have been working as an assistant for a visiting researcher. He has been cataloging his findings about Gravity Falls in a series of journals." Dipper/Bill and Mable shared a look, as Dipper/Bill flip through the pages to the diagram. "I helped him build a machine which he believed had the potential to benefit all mankind, but something went wrong. I decided to quit the project. But I lie awake at night, haunted by the thoughts of what I've done. I believe I have invented a machine that can permanently erase these memories from my mind." Younger McGucket holds up the memory erasing ray, "Test subject One: Fiddleford." and shoots himself with it.
The screen goes to static and comes back on a few days later "It worked! I can't recall a thing." It went static, before showing how much his lab is in disarray. "I call it the Society of the Blind Eye. We will help those who want to forget by erasing their bad memories!" It went to static again, and McGucket is more disheveled and nervous. "Today, I came across a colony of little men, very disturbing. I would like to forget seeing this." He shoots himself with the memory gun again before it cut to Static.
McGucket's lab is now a mess and his arm is in a cast. "I accidentally hit another car in town today. I feel terri-bibble! Terrible. I've been forgetting words lately. I wonder if there are any negative side effects..." It went static again. McGucket now has a beard and is being filmed from a motel pulling on his hair. "I saw something in the lake, something big!" Cuts to static "My hair's been a-fallin' out, so I got this hat from a scarecrow. Hey, are my pants on backwards?" it went to static. McGucket is wild-eyed and filming from the junkyard. Maniacally giggling, laughing and speaking in gibberish words "Yroo Xrksvi! Girzmtov!" and at the very end, he formed his two thumbs and pointer fingers' together with his eye peeking out of it. As it went to Static for the last time.
The whole room went silent. Everyone is heartbroken at what they had seen, McGucket was once a sane genus, but do to some kind of accident. He lost his home, his work and is mind. Mable broke the silence by speaking out for everyone, "Oh, McGucket, I'm so sorry."
Bill/Dipper spoke "Specs. I... I am so sorry. I caused you to loose your sanity." Wendy, Soos and Mable looked at him as if he had grown a third head. "Dude, what?" said Wendy. "I don't have all of my memories. But I do know deep down in my mind, that I was part of the caused of it."
McGucket walks over to the machine and retrieved the tube, "Aw, hush. You kids helped me get my memories back, just like you said." Both Mable and Dipper/Bill were confused at McGucket's respond, "But I'd cause you to be this way." said Bill/Dipper while Mable said "But did you want those memories back?"
"After all these years, I finally know who I am. Maybe I messed up in the past, but now that I seen what happened, I can begin to put myself together again and you should too." McGucket stated as he starts Ham-boning a message "Thanks for opening my eyes."
Bill feels... well he didn't know what he felt, he never felt this emotion before. But he did feel something wet on his face. "Pine-Tree, stop this water spasm you're making." it only took a second for everyone to realize what was happening. "I'm not doing it."

… Was crying.
The humans couldn't believe that this evil little triangle that terrorize them this summer, was weeping. Dipper, Mable and Soos never saw him cried before. And they never saw him with so much overwhelming emotions; other than cocky, angry, curious emotions.
This was a whole different side of Bill they had never seen before, not to mention back when they were blurting out their secrets and truths. Bill said that he misses his family and loved ones, and that he regrets what he has done back home. If he meant his home world than what could have happen to it that makes him so guilty? and how long has been alone? With all of her will power, Mable launch onto her brother/former bad guy and give him the most strongest sibling love she can give into a hug.
"I'm Sorry, you look like you needed a hug. It makes things better." Mable explains, which brought more tears in Bill/Dipper's eyes. After finally calming down, Bill let Dipper be in control which leads him to asking McGucket a question that was on his mind. "So, wait. You weren't the author, but you worked with him. Do you remember who he was?" Dipper/Bill ask.
McGucket answers "It's beginning to come back, but I need more time. And reading glasses. Heck!" the old man puts them on only to have one of the lenses pop and fell off, he then spits in a spit can, "I got some rememberin' to do."
"Okay, take your time." Dipper/Bill replied. "So Mabel, you still wanna erase those failed summer romances?" Wendy ask waving the memory gun in her hand. Mable looked at McGucket who was fiddling with one of the memory tubes and back to her brother, "You know, no one likes having bad memories, but maybe it's better to remember the bad things and learn from them than to go all denial crazy trying to forget. Not to mention loosing those who are important and close to you."
Everyone was moved by Mable's responds, she was starting to become more mature. "That's some mature junk right there, Mabel." said Wendy, placing a hand on her shoulder. Mable confidently said "Yep. Miss Mature, that's me." 'Well look at that, your sister is starting to show that she's growing up.' said Bill, that is until. "Hey, you wanna help me vandalize this picture of my jerky ex-crush?" she pulls the poster of Gabe Bensen before and a marker.
'Well, just a little.' That's when Bill/Dipper got an idea "Hey, maybe when we're done we could hang it back up so the whole town could see or put it on a dart board?" "They both seem a bit too harsh, but after what had happen that week. I'd say yes." Mable replied.
And so, put the poster back up at the entrance hall. Just to humiliate the boy that caused a lot of trouble for them, and to spread the word about him kissing and making out with his puppets.
After they were finish, Wendy stops Dipper/Bill for a second, "Dipper, about what happen when we found their layer. I want to say I'm sorry for what I said, I wasn't trying to be mean or anything, It's just things have been happening so fast and I don't know how to handle it." Dipper/Bill nodded his head, "I know, I'm having a hard time adjusting to this myself. I didn't realize that I was changing. Bill and I found that when we talk or do something at the same time or take action. It was as if we were one person." he places his hand over his heart. "And that's why we need to accept this and find away to reverse this."
Wendy gives him a encouraging smile, "You got this." her smile said, they headed to Soos's truck, and then Wendy realize something else. "Hey, you know what? Going on this big adventure actually made me get that stupid song out of my head." "Nice." Soos congratulated her, before turning his truck on and the oh so annoying song starts to play. From the radio.
"Oh, come on!"
During the ride back. Dipper/Bill went over the Journal with McGucket hoping it would help recall more of his memories, and it seem to have worked a little. "It's all so familiar. It's almost like I can remember..." "Same here." said Bill/Dipper.
Back at the Shack
Stan was pouring in a large amount of fuel into a larger tank. "All right, you're getting closer. Every day it's getting stronger." he walks over to the portal as a gust of wind from the machine grabs his notebook and mug, sucking them into the portal. "Haha, yes!" Stan Cheers, only to have a flying pipe bang against his hand. causing it to bleed. "Ah!"
Bandaging the bloody wound with a white medical cloth and tap. Stan declares, "I don't care if it's dangerous. I don't care how long it takes. I'm gonna pull this off, and no one's gonna get in my way!"
And that's it. Hope you guys enjoyed it! It's going to be a while I want to get all of my other stories updated too, but it's a bit hard to think on what to write next if you lost a bit of interest in them or how the previse chapters went.
Ja ne.
