Well, I have no idea what I'm doing for this chapter. That's great now isn't it?!

Now onto the reviews…

Sarstar98: I say that it is restricted to your imagination only because I want to keep this story in the Gravity Falls universe, even if Mabel and Bill are going to different realms. Thanks for your idea!

Guest: You'll have to read on to find out what happens next!

Guest (Sydney): I'm happy you like the chapter and that you're excited for more! I'm also so happy you think I write Bill well! Since he's my favorite character, I want to write him well and I'm always really nervous whether or not people like how I write him. So I was really happy when I got your review! And I'm also glad you like how Mabel's and Bill's relationship is going!

Saphirabrightscale: I'm glad you liked my chapter! Thanks for the idea, but I haven't seen the Matrix or Mirrormask so… Thanks again for the suggestion though!

iGogoTomago67: Ha, yes! First hate, then maybe… I hope you'll stick around for more updates!

bloodstone38: You'll just have to wait and see!

KittyCat101: I'm glad you think my story is amazing and that you love it. Also, thanks to you, I know I can write Mabel in character! YOUR TIME HAS COME TO GIVE ME ADVICE! I think I might just use it. However, if I do expand Bill's back story, it's basically going to be what Bill told Ford but with a little bit more added to it. I'm trying to keep this story as close to the show as possible so I'm not going to far from the show's actual story.

mabelcorn207: I'm glad you liked the chapter! I guess the Shadows of the Underworld do sound a bit like Bill, but they have a bit different motives. If you are talking about my theory for the "end of the episode" bit, I know some of it might not add up, but in my mind, it's closer than some other theories! Also, if you mean write a fifth chapter, I'm doing it right now!

Someone: I'm trying to keep the ideas from not mixing with other games, movies, books, TV shows, etc., but thanks for the suggestion! Also yes, I love Pokémon! My favorite game is Black and White, what's yours?

Daughter of bill cipher: I'm glad you found the chapter amazing!

Marishu: I'm glad you like my story and the concept seems interesting to you! Also, Mabel isn't telling Dipper or anyone about it because if they found out, they would want to help and Mabel is afraid that the Shadows of the Underworld will end up killing them if they do try to help.

Thanks all you amazing people for reviewing! That chapter had a lot of reviews but I loved reading them all! You guys have been so awesome for following, favoriting, and reviewing my story! You have no idea how happy I get when I see a new review, follow, or favorite. Thank you all so much!

Also, this story has passed one thousand views! Woo hoo! Even if you haven't reviewed, followed, or favorited my story, thanks so much for reading it!

The idea for this realm came from Sarstar98. I am going to change a little bit of the description s/he gave so it will fit what I have planned better, but the idea for this realm belongs to her/him. Thanks so much for the idea!

Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the chapter!

After Mabel, Dipper, Soos, Stan, Ford, and even Abuelita got the fire out, it was a pretty boring day.

Candy was finishing up her Summer homework (even though vacation started only a few days ago) and Grenda had family visiting, so they were out of the picture. There were no monster attacks or paranormal activity appearing on Ford's radar so monster hunting wouldn't work. And worst of all, Abuelita was hogging the TV so nobody could use it! Unless, of course, you liked old lady shows.

There were little to no tourists coming to the Mystery Shack so instead of helping Soos run it like they would do on busy days, the twins just sat on the counter, bored. Even Soos himself was bored, and that rarely ever happened!

Stan finally had enough of it.

"Okay," he yelled, barging into the gift shop, "I've had it with you guys moping around doing nothing!"

"But Grunkle Stan," Mabel whined, "there's nothing to do! Also, you're doing nothing too! You're not even dressed yet!"

"I'm always dressed like this!" The twins murmured in agreement. Stan had on his white t-shirt with his favorite pair of blue underwear.

Soos narrowed his eyes. "Does it have to do with your body or your age?"

"Can it Soos, I know I'm old."

"Ah, so you finally admit it now." Everyone turned to see a smirking Ford coming out of the lab.

Stan face palmed. "Now, see what you made me do! Point Dexter here is going to hold that over my head for the rest of eternity now!"

Ford chuckled. "You mean the rest of your small life left because of how old you are?" Ford ignored the glare Stan sent his way and addressed Dipper and Mabel. "Don't mind me, I'm just passing through." He grabbed something off the shelf and made his way back down to the lab, the vending machine door shutting behind him.

Stan shook his head, getting back to the topic at hand. He turned to face the twins. "Look, although I hate to admit it, I am getting old. And you'll be old soon too! You're turning eighteen at the end of Summer. There's not much time left for you to, you know, be kids!" Mabel cringed at the mention of growing up. Even after all the years she still didn't like it all too much. Stan saw this and walked over to put a hand on his niece's shoulder. She looked up at her Grunkle and smiled. He returned it. "Look," he continued softer, "you're going to grow up eventually, so be a kid while you can. Go outside and throw a ball for all I care! Just don't waste what little time you have left as kids doing nothing!" With those final words, Stan let go of Mabel's shoulder, left the shop, and (the twins guessed) entered the kitchen.

Mabel and Dipper shared a look. "Well," Dipper suggested, I guess we could go into town."

Mabel shrugged. "Sure, I don't see why not." They hopped off of the counter and made their way to the door.

Before opening it, Dipper turned to Soos. "Hey, you want to come with us?"

Soos shook his head. "Sorry dudes, but you never know when the next tourist might come." He turned and resumed looking at the window. The Pines twins shrugged and continued out the door.

"So," Mabel asked, "what do you want to do? We could go get tacos at that-" Mabel was interrupted by a loud screech. The twins cringed and covered their ears, trying their best to block out the sound. It went on for a couple of seconds, but when it finally stopped, they looked up to see a monster running back into the woods.

Mabel stared at the spot where she saw the creature disappeared. A person could see the surprised look on her face from a mile away. A monster! But Great Uncle Ford's radar didn't pick up anything! Mabel paused her thinking for a moment. However, that means…

The twins turned to each other and they both had similar grins on their face. "Mystery Twins?" Dipper had his hand in a fist and held it out for Mabel to hit.

Mabel put her clenched fist out and hit her brother's. "Mystery Twins." Then she turned to face the side of the Mystery Shack and screamed, "To the golf cart!" She ran off to where the cart was located.

Dipper laughed at his sister's silliness and ran right after her. After all, what kid wouldn't want to risk their lives chasing down a monster?! Besides Dipper thought, if Great Uncle Ford's radar didn't pick it up, how bad could it be?

Apparently it can be very bad.

Mabel screamed at the top of her lungs. "Dipper, can you make this thing go any faster?!"

Dipper pushed the pedal down harder but the cart barely picked up any speed. Panic began to show on his face. "I'm trying, but the cart is getting old! This is about as fast as it can go!"

"If it doesn't go that fast anymore, why on Earth did you put a bunch of meat in the back so the monster would chase us?!" Mabel glared at her brother and Dipper returned it.

"I'm sorry! It would have eaten us ages ago if I didn't! This at least gives me time to think of a plan!"

Mabel gritted her teeth. "Well it's not like we can just make the monster crash into a tree. It runs through them!" Dipper glanced back to see that his sister was right. Many trees had monster (they still didn't know what to call the creature) shaped holes in them. "I mean it - He? She? Oh who cares?! - doesn't even have on scratch on it! How is that even possible?!" Dipper was about to go on a rant but Mabel put a hand up to shush him. "Don't even answer that. From all the stuff I've seen the past five years, I shouldn't be surprised!"

Dipper looked back at the monster chasing them and growled. "I wished this monster would just fall off a cliff or something! It would stop chasing us then at least!"

Mabel perked up. "Dipper, fall off a cliff! You're a genius!"

Dipper cocked his head. "What are you -?"

"I'll explain on the way, just head to the floating cliffs!" Dipper didn't argue and took a sharp left towards the cliffs.

When the cliffs were in sight, Mabel looked back to see if the monster was still following them. It was. She returned her attention back to the cliffs in front of her. "Okay," she instructed, "do you see the area where the ground goes upwards and it looks like a small ramp?" Dipper nodded. "Good. Now I want you to drive as fast as the cart can go and drive up the ramp."

He gave her an "are you crazy" look. Then he said exactly what his face did. "Are you crazy?!"

Mabel rolled her eyes and shook her head. "That doesn't matter right now! I have an idea that might work though and I'd rather try to live than just letting the monster eat us!" Dipper opened his mouth to argue but closed it when he saw the determined look on his sister's face. She only had that look when she had a plan that she was absolutely certain would work. He had to trust her.

Dipper turned his attention back to the cliffs and pressed his foot down on the pedal even harder. The golf cart only picked up a little speed but it was better than nothing.

"Come on, come on!" Mabel kept muttering under her breath. Then, there was only a couple of seconds until they reached the edge. Dipper swallowed hard, praying that Mabel was right about this.

They went off the ramp and flew off.

The twins screamed at the top of their lungs. Mabel clung to the cart's side for dear life while Dipper had his hands clamped on the steering wheel, his knuckles turning white.

When they stopped in midair, right before they began to fall, Mabel screamed one last piece of instructions. "Dipper! Turn so we are facing the other way!" Dipper yanked the wheel right and the cart spun so they were facing the part of the cliff they just left. They looked down and saw the monster running off the edge and falling. They did it.

Mabel and Dipper let out a quick cheer before remembering their current situation. The cart began to fall rapidly towards their doom.

Mabel glanced down but quickly looked away, her heart leaping into her throat. Come on Mabel she thought to herself. You still have to do your part if you want Dipper and you to get out of this alive. She forced herself to look at the side of the cliff they were facing. She had to do this at exactly the right time or else they would surely die.

She put her hand in the back pocket of her skirt and began to fumble around. When her hand grabbed the cool metal object, her fear dissolved a tad. Mabel closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and screamed the words she had been waiting to say for nine months.

"Grappling hook!"

The hook blasted out of the gun and shot towards a big tree at the edge of the forest. Before it latched onto it, Mabel tied the grappling hook to the cart. Then the hook got stuck in the tree and the cart was being pulled forward. "Get down!" Mabel screamed and Dipper pulled Mabel and himself down to the floor of the cart. Seconds later, they felt the car being smashed into the tree. The golf cart hit the ground, and then there was silence.

After a moment, Dipper opened his eyes that he never even noticed he closed. Mabel did the same. They inspected each other's body, making sure that they were all right. Besides a few cuts and bruises, the twins were fine.

They finally let out a smile. They both jumped out of the cart and cheered. "We're alive!" Dipper punched his fist in the air. "Beat that whatever monster you were! We're alive!"

"I can't believe it!" Mabel shouted. "My plan worked!" She ran over and held her hands out to him. He smiled and they began their handshake.

"Bleep! Blop! Blobity boop! Twins!" They ended it with a fist bump and they both stuck out their tongues, pointing at each other. The twins let out a little laugh.

Mabel walked over to the golf cart and began to untie her grappling hook. Dipper followed her but inspected the cart instead. "I think," he muttered, "I can still drive this thing back to the Mystery Shack. We will have to ask Soos to fix it though." Dipper climbed in and put the cart in reverse to test it out. The cart moved backwards. "Yep, it's still functional, at least for now."

Mabel pulled the hook out of the tree and slipped her grappling hook back into her pocket. She jumped in the cart and Dipper smiled at her again. "You know, I should really get a grappling hook myself. After all the times it has saved our butts, I think it's worth it."

"It is!" Mabel gushed. "I mean it's practical, easy to use, it can be used for a lot of things…" And that's how the ride home went, Mabel telling her brother about how wonderful grappling hooks are and Dipper silently nodding along.

By the time they got home, it was already dinner time. Abuelita and Soos had made burgers and Grunkle Stan, Soos, and Abuelita were already eating them. The twins guessed that Great Uncle Ford had already eaten and was back down in the lab, so they could tell him about the monster later.

The twins dove into the food that was offered to them and it was gone in a matter of minutes. Running from monsters always made them hungry. The whole plate of burgers was gone and everyone was stuffed.

Well, all except for Soos and Mabel.

"Hey dude, when Melody and I went out the other day, we got fourteen tubs of ice cream."

Mabel gave a sly smile. "Are you suggesting what I think you're suggesting?"

Soos pointed a finger at her and smiled. "If you're talking about an ice cream eating contest, then yes."

"First one to eat seven tubs of ice cream wins."

Soos laughed. "You are so on dude." Then the two raced towards the fridge and began their contest. Dipper just shook his head and went to find a book to read, already knowing how this would end.

About twenty minutes later, Dipper walked back in the kitchen to see Mabel sprawled out on the table, and Soos lying on the floor, "So, who won?" Dipper asked, stifling a laugh.

"It was a tie." Mabel and Soos moaned simultaneously.

"And was it worth it?"

Mabel shot up. "Of course it was worth it Dipper! Eating seven tubs of ice cream is a very important skill in life!"

Dipper raised an eyebrow. "Really, how?" He could see that his sister was about to go into a rant and put up a hand to stop her. "Never mind, I don't want to know." Mabel shrugged and jumped off the table, stepping over Soos who had fallen asleep on the floor.

Mabel started towards the door to the living room when she thought of something. "Hey, do you want to go tell Great Uncle Ford what we saw now?"

Dipper smiled. "Sure!" The twins began their way towards the gift shop, but they were stopped by Grunkle Stan.

"Oh no you don't. You guys just survived a monster and you almost just fell off a cliff. You kiddos need to get some sleep." Dipper began to protest but Stan cut him off. "My brother will still be there in the morning… I hope. So I'm sure you can wait one night to tell him this." The twins sighed and trudged their way up to the attic, not even bothering to argue. The look on Stan's face was all they needed to see to know that it would be a losing battle.

Now they were in bed, Dipper reading through one of the journals and Mabel gently patting Waddles. After a moment, Dipper let out a yawn and shut off the light. "Night Mabel," he mumbled before slipping into to sleep.

Mabel sighed and turned to face the wall. She closed her eyes and for the first time in days, not even fighting the sleep that instantly came.

When Mabel opened her eyes again, she was in her bed. She frowned. Well that's odd. Did Bill not send me to his Mindscape tonight? She sat up and rubbed her eyes. When she dropped her hands and she opened her eyes again, Mabel saw the problem.

She was in her room in Bill's Mindscape.

Mabel rolled her eyes. I should have noticed that there was no color earlier. She got out of bed and stretched. She went over to her drawer and picked out a white sweater with a light blue snowflake on it and a blue skirt. The second she put the skirt and sweater on, they went from black and grey, to the original colors in white and blue. This happened the night before too. Apparently anything she wore turned back to its color in the real world. She couldn't complain though. It wouldn't have been fun for her to wear black, white, and grey clothes all the time.

She slipped on a pair of dark blue socks and sneakers that matched. When she was finally ready, she turned towards the door to open it, but stopped when she saw a note pinned on it. She ripped it off and quickly read it.

Meet me in my throne room. Door with the top hat on it. –Bill

Mabel rolled her eyes. Of course he has a throne room. Anyone with an ego as big as his would. She sighed and began another a door hunt, a bit glad that he at least gave her where it was located this time.

She found the door about five minutes later. She opened it slowly, just in case it was a trick. Thankfully it wasn't though and Mabel raised her eyebrows at the familiar room.

The throne room was an exact copy of the one in the Fearamid. The floor, the walls, the design, almost everything was the same. The only differences were that instead of the throne being made of people turned to stone (which Mabel was silently relieved about), it was just plain stone. And, of course, the whole room was black, white, and grey.

She turned her gaze to Bill who was sitting on the throne. Bill was larger than usual at the moment and Mabel couldn't tell if it was so he would look more powerful, or if it was just so that he could actually sit on the throne. It also shocked her a tad to see him still in his human form, she would have thought he'd have changed back. However, it seemed he was taking this whole disguise thing seriously and she didn't question it.

When he finally seemed to notice her, he smirked. "So, you decided that you wanted to live today. Strange, I thought someone who was being hunted would want to fall off a cliff and die. After all, don't you flesh bags like pain to be over with quicker rather than slow?"

Mabel's eyes widened. "How did you know about that?"

Bill rolled his eye and snapped his fingers. He disappeared from his throne and appeared in front of her, back to his original size. She jumped a little but didn't move away. "I told you that I'll be watching you, didn't I Shooting Star? Even though it has been five years, my statement still does not change."

"You're stalking me?!"

Bill scoffed. "Stalking is hardly the word I would use. Observing is more like it."

"It's still creepy! Don't you know anything about privacy you evil dorito?!"

"I don't watch you while you're naked if that's what you mean." He raised an eyebrow and smirked again. "Unless, would you like me to?"

Mabel swallowed the vomit that threatened to surface. "Are you being serious right now?! No! Not in a billion years!"

Bill laughed. "Once again, I'm joking Shooting Star. Trust me; I would also not like to see you naked. Ever."

Mabel crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes at him. "Well then, I guess there is something we both agree on." Bill scowled and turned away. He did not like having something in common with that nuisance.

Ignoring the comment, he snapped his fingers again and the same table and map from last night appeared. Mabel looked down at the map and saw that unlike last night, there was an area circled.

"So," Bill began, "I got some good news and bad news. The good news is that I've found where one of the shadow shards is. The bad news however is that it is going to take me longer than I thought to find the locations of the other four shards." He pointed at the area circled on the map. "The first shadow shard is located in a realm called Glacial Forest. It's a small realm that's always covered in snow. There's only one town, although it is quite large, in it. The rest of the realm is forest, hence the name Glacier Forest."

"So, you're telling me that we have to search through an entire forest?"

"Thankfully, no. The shadow shard is located in the town and the mayor has it."

"So we just go in, ask for the shard, get it, and then we're one step closer to me not dying!" Mabel smiled a little. This was going to be easier than she thought.

"I wish it was that easy so we could get this over with faster, but sadly, it's not. The town has a barrier around it so no one can transport in or out. The only way to get in is through the forest."

"So, we go through the forest! You know, you're making this sound a lot worse than it is."

Bill groaned. "Can you please shut your mouth for a moment Shooting Star? It is hard to explain what we have to do when you keep blabbering when I'm trying to explain this."

Mabel rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath, "Maybe if you would actually get to the point I would stop blabbering."

Bill glared at her. "Anyways, getting through the forest is going to be a lot harder than you think. The forest is filled with dangerous creatures that could kill you in a heartbeat. However, since we made a deal, I won't let you die. But I can't promise you won't get hurt though." Mabel gave him a look of hate and Bill smiled.

The dream demon snapped his fingers and the table and map disappeared. He then turned to Mabel and his smile turned to a smirk. "I hope you're actually prepared this time Shooting Star."

Mabel's face twisted into confusion. "Wait, what do you-?"

Bill grabbed Mabel's hand then snapped his fingers. In the blink of an eye, Mabel was being shot forward. It was the same sensation she felt the night before. The world was a blur all around her and she couldn't focus on a single thing. Then, as soon as it started, it ended.

She once again clutched her stomach. It kept churning around and around and Mabel felt like she was about to throw up. Teleportation was still not agreeing with her. "Next time," she gasped, "give me a warning."

Bill's smirk grew. "I did. What do you think 'I hope you're prepared' means?" Mabel glared at him and fell to the ground, clutching her stomach. However, she quickly shot up, letting go of her stomach and forgetting the pain she was in.

"Holy Waddles!" Mabel yelped. "That's cold!"

Bill rolled his eye. "The ground is made out of snow and ice, what did you expect?"

Mabel looked down to see that he was right. The ground was covered in at least a foot of snow and bits of ice. She glanced around and saw trees that stretched up higher then she could see. Most of the trees were birch and oak but there were some maple trees dotted around. The branches were leafless but snow was piled on top of them, making some of the branches bend. There was a light snow fall happening but there wasn't a single cloud in the sky. In fact, the sun was shining brighter than ever. However, it wasn't the regular yellow Mabel was used to seeing. It was an icy blue that kind of looked like the color of the snowflake on her sweater. It was actually kind of ironic that Mabel's clothing fit the realm perfectly.

The temperature was bellowing freezing and Mabel quickly noticed it. She grabbed her shoulders and began to rub them. Her sweater didn't provide enough warmth and to make it worse, she only had on a skirt and sneakers. Her teeth began to chatter and she started to violently shiver. Long story short, Mabel was practically freezing to death.

She glanced over at Bill to see him calmly looking around. It didn't even look like he felt the cold."H-h-h-h-how," she stuttered, "ar-a-are you n-n-not c-col-cold?"

He shrugged. "I guess I just can't feel the cold." Bill looked Mabel over. "You however Shooting Star, seem to be extremely bothered by it." He snapped his fingers and the cold left as if a breeze blew it away. Warmth instantly replaced it and her body felt as though she was on a beach instead of in a freezing forest.

Mabel cocked her head. "Why did you do that?"

Bill materialized his cane and began to float away. "Again, my end of the deal is that you don't die. You freezing to death would mean I wouldn't get my favor. Now come on, I want to get to the town before night fall."

Mabel ran to catch up to him, tripping once or twice. When she finally caught up though, a question was already on her tongue. "If you don't want me to die, then why didn't you help Dipper and me when that monster attacked us?"

He grimaced. "It's quite simple Shooting Star. I knew that you and Pine Tree would be able to get out of the situation. Although I hate to admit it, you do have some brains in that skull of yours, more than most at the very least."

Mabel smirked. "Did I hear that correctly? Did the almighty dream demon Bill Cipher give me a compliment?!"

Bill ignored the question and continued as if she never spoken. "Also, I wouldn't have been able to help you anyways."

"Why not?"

"I can't go into your world. I'm stuck in the Mindscape. So I can't help you if you're about to die in your world."

"Oh." Mabel didn't know what else to say so she stayed silent while they walked, or floated in Bill's case.

As time went on, Mabel actually began to get bored. She didn't understand what Bill meant by 'dangerous creatures.' From what she has seen, there wasn't a single creature around.

At least until now.

"What on Earth is this?" Mabel looked around at the strange looking plant standing in their path. Or at least hers. Bill could have easily floated over it, yet he was staying near the plant. She guessed he also wanted to know what the plant was too.

The plant itself looked like it was made of ice. It was a cool blue color and it looked like a giant version of a Venus fly trap. It was a little taller than Mabel and may have eaten her in one bite if it could.

"I think I know what this is but I need to test something out to see if my theory is correct." Bill floated down till he was about face level with plant. He reached a hand forward as if to pet the plant then…

"Ack!" Mabel jumped back in shock as the ice plant engulfed half of Bill's arm. She expected Bill to start screaming and try to pull his arm out of the plant's mouth but instead he started… laughing?

"This - Ha, ha! - This feels great! Ha, ha, ha!" Bill continued to laugh even when the plant continued to eat his arm. "Seriously, I don't get why you flesh bags - Ha! - hate situations like this! Pain is hilarious! Ha!"

"Bill what the-!" Mabel didn't even finish her sentence before she decided to take action. She clenched her fists, ran forward, and roundhouse kicked the ice plant.

The plant stopped engulfing Bill's arm and froze as if someone had stopped time just on that plant. Then, it began to crack. Bits and parts began breaking off until the whole thing exploded, blocks of ice flying everywhere.

Mabel covered her face with her hands and dove behind a nearby tree for cover.

When the sound of falling ice stopped, Mabel hesitantly looked around the tree to see if it was safe to come out. It was.

She let out the breath she never knew she was holding and walked over to where Bill was floating. He was floating in place, stunned.

"Uh, Bill?" Mabel began poking the dream demon until he was zapped into reality.

Bill looked towards Mabel and raised an eyebrow. "How did you do that?"

She questioned how he could be a laughing maniac one minute, then a cool and collective dream demon the next, but she didn't ponder it for long. "Do what?"

Bill pointed to where the ice plant once stood. "Destroy the Ice Trap."

"Is that what it's called?" Bill nodded and Mabel shrugged. "I just roundhouse kicked it. I'm a black belt in karate you know?"

Bill crossed his arms. "Really?"

"Yeah." Mabel put on a cocky smile. "I thought the almighty dream demon Bill Cipher was supposed to know everything. How did you not know so something as simple as that about me?"

"In my defense," Bill scoffed, "I have been trapped inside a canister for five years, having no way to know what was happening in the world around me. So I'm sorry if I didn't know that tiny, unimportant detail about your life."

Mabel's face twisted into confusion. "Wait, what do you mean you were trapped in a canister?"

Bill smiled. "Ah, I see old Sixer didn't tell you what really happened." He chuckled. "Oh well, it doesn't affect me in anyway." He changed the subject. "We better start moving though. Like I said before, I want to get to the town before dark." Bill floated away from Mabel. She sighed and trudged behind him, ignoring the snow that was soaking her socks.

By the time they got to the town, it was nearly sundown.

"Wow," Mabel said, "I can see what you mean by no one can teleport into the town or out of it." The town was surrounding by a glowing blue bubble. It looked like ice and glass was combined into one and that's what the barrier was made of.

Mabel reached a hand forward to touch the barrier but Bill quickly grabbed her arm. "I don't think you want to do that Shooting Star."

"Why not?'

Bill sighed and made his cane appear again. He touched it against the barrier and a bolt of electricity shot up it, stopping right before it reached Bill's hand. Mabel's eyes widened in surprise and she took three cautious steps backwards. "Okay, I am glad I did not touch that!"

"Yes, it would have fried all your organs and you would have been dead in seconds if you did."

"That... was a little gruesome."

"Well it's the truth."

Mabel rolled her eyes. "Anyways, we need to find a way to get into the town." She looked left and right but could not find a gap anywhere in the barrier. "I think it is going to be harder than we thought, unless there is a doorbell."

"Shooting Star, I don't think there is a-"

"Found one!"

Bill floated there dumbfounded as Mabel went up to a light blue button that looked strangely like a doorbell. He had seen a lot of strange things before, but this one was a first. She looked back and gave him a look that asked 'should I push it?' Bill regained his demeanor shrugged. "Don't see why not."

She pushed the button then took a step back.

Nothing happened.

Mabel frowned and tried it again.

Still nothing happened.

"Well, I guess we have to find another way-aaaahhh!" Mabel let out a scream as the ground open up underneath her, which she quickly fell into.

Bill was shocked. Out of all the things that could have happened he did not expect that! However, seconds later, he flew down the hole after her. The door to the hole shut a moment later.

"Oof." Mabel groaned as she fell to the ground, landing half on her back and half on her butt. She rubbed her back and tried to stand up, but she quickly lost her footing and fell back on her butt. "What the heck? It's like the floors made of… oh." Mabel finally took a look of her surroundings and saw that she was in a cone shaped cave. The floor was a circle and the walls went up until the giant hole at the very top stopped them. Mabel guessed that's where she fell from. The hole itself went into darkness but the cave she was in seemed to be lit up like a light bulb.

She sat there in silence for a minute until she could bear it no longer.

"So," Mabel drawled out finally, "what do I do now?"

"I don't know. Maybe find a way out of here."

Mabel yelped and looked up. She saw Bill floating there, looking down lazily at her. "Bill! Why are you down here?! How are you down here?!"

"I followed you down here, simple enough."

"But why?!"

"Again with the death thing."

"But if something was down here it could have killed you too!"

Bill sighed. "Trust me when I say that it is very hard to kill me Shooting Star."

Mabel opened her mouth to argue but realized it was pointless. There was some truth in that statement and she couldn't deny that he was very hard to kill. Mabel got back to the problem at hand. "Okay then. Can you get us out of here? You're the one with all the magic powers!"

Bill frowned. "I already tried that. We must be inside the town because once you're inside it, you can't teleport out. You have to be outside the barrier to do so."

Mabel groaned and put her head in her hands. "Just my luck."

Their conversation was interrupted by violent shaking. Bill looked around curiously while Mabel crawled over to the wall for support. She clawed at the ice until she felt a whole to grab onto and hung on for dear life. The shaking kept bouncing her everywhere while Bill didn't move a muscle. It helped that he was in the air and wasn't actually touching the walls or the floor.

Mabel forced her head to turn and looked towards the middle of the cave and saw little cracks appearing and also some steam. Wait a minute she thought. Steam?

Then the shaking stopped.

Mabel took a deep breath and tried to calm down. Bill put a hand to his chin in thought. "Well," he said aloud, "that was strange."

"I agree." Then Mabel let out a smile. "However, I do believe that what we are in is not a cave."

Bill raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

Mabel cautiously stood up and made her way over to the middle of the so called cave. She pointed to the cracks in the ground. "See these cracks right here?" Bill flew closer to the ground so he could get a better look. "What do you see coming out of them?"

He squinted at the ground for a moment, and then he spoke. "It looks like steam."

"It is steam. We're not in a cave, we're in a geyser! That's why there was a rumbling before! It's going to erupt soon! And I bet you that there are two different ways that tunnel leads." Mabel pointed to the hole above them and Bill had to admit that she made a pretty good point.

"So then, what do we do?"

Mabel shrugged and sat down on the icy floor. "Simple, we sit, or in your case float, and wait."

"So we have to sit here doing nothing for who knows how long?! When is this thing going to erupt anyways?!" Bill did not like the idea of being in a geyser forever with nothing to do. He and boredom were not good friends.

Mabel shrugged again. "I don't know, but it's not going to take a full day let me tell you that." A question came into Mabel's mind. "Hey, why haven't I woken up yet?"

"I slowed time down in the Mindscape so a few hours here has been only an hour there."

"Oh, so then it won't matter too much if we have to stay in this geyser for a while."

Bill moaned and put his head in his hands like Mabel did before. "I hope this geyser eruptes soon. Sitting here doing nothing isn't exactly what I call fun."

"Can't you make something appear for you to do?"

"If I did that, I couldn't exactly promise your safety because, for the thousandth time, you are no use to me dead."

Mabel gritted her teeth. "I get the point okay! You don't need to repeat that every five seconds!"

Bill smiled. "But it annoys you and annoying people is one of my favorite hobbies."

"So just do that until the geyser erupts!"

"Yes, but you would start ignoring me after a while. What's the point of annoying someone if they don't show that they're annoyed?" Bill paused. "Although, I guess I could read your annoyance in your head."

Mabel sighed. "Oh right, I forgot you could read my mind."

"Only the thoughts that you are really focusing on. That's how I knew to make your colorful dream boys appear in Stanley's Mindscape. You were only focusing on them at the moment." Mabel scowled at him. "However, I also made them appear since I could tell you had a crush on them. I wanted to see how you would react and it was interesting to say the least. Although, I do regret making them appear after hearing that awful music they played." Bill shuddered.

"Wait a minute, how did you know I had a crush on them?"

"I can also see people's feelings. That is, only if the feeling is strong enough. Sometimes I can catch a glimpse of a more hidden feeling, but not usually."

"I see. So you do stalk people."

"For the last time, I observe them. Also, please don't tell me that this will lead to us talking about you being naked again."

Mabel growled. She didn't exactly like this little talk and decided to try and end it. "Okay, what is even the point of this conversation?"

Bill shrugged this time. "I don't know you started it."

"You're highly mistaken. I am one hundred percent sure that you did."

"I'm hundred and one percent sure you started the conversation Shooting Star."

"You can't have a hundred and one percent! That doesn't exist!"

"I don't follow the natural laws of nature; I thought you would know that by now Shooting Star. But the point is you started the conversation."

"I should know whether or not I started a conversation."

"Well, apparently you don't. You were the one who asked me if I could make something appear or not. That led to me talking about my powers and what they do. I explained, but you still had more questions. I was just harmlessly answering them for you, nothing more, and nothing less. So in the end, I believe you started the conversation."

Mabel clenched her fist. She was even more annoyed then before, yet she still tried to stay calm. "But you're the one who kept complaining that it would take forever for the geyser to erupt."

"First of all, I wasn't complaining. Second, you're the one who said this was a geyser. I never asked what it was. If I never asked something yet you talked, I did not start the conversation."

"But you suggested that I should find a way out of here. Figuring out that this is a geyser let me find out that there is a way out of here. By that logic, you can clearly see that you started the conversation."

Bill gritted his teeth, trying to keep from yelling. Mabel was starting to push his buttons and he did not like it all too much. "You asked what to do about the situation you were in."

"Well we wouldn't have been in this situation if it wasn't for you!"

"Excuse me?!" Bill floated a little closer to Mabel and his voice began to rise. Mabel's voice also started rising.

"Your the one who forced me to make a deal!"

"I hardly forced you to do anything! You didn't have to make a deal with me!"

"What other choice did I have?! You have a choice yet you chose to bean idiot dorito who says that they'll help someone with a deal, but lies and ends up hurting them! Who does that?!"

"Oh, I'm sorry! I don't believe we've met! I'm Bill Cipher, Master of the Mind! I make deals for a living! Why do you think I always go to the people who need help the most! They are the easiest to manipulate and bend to my will! I always end up getting what I want in the end, and only if they're lucky do they get what they asked for! However, the price is usually never worth it! I find joy in watching people suffer! Why do you think most of my deals end up hurting the other person more! As I said before, pain is hilarious, especially when it's another person receiving it due to me! So I apologize if you hate the deal but trust me, it is great news for me!"

Neither one could hold their emotions for much longer. Both of them were full out screaming by then. However, Bill still tried to control himself. He didn't want to lash out and kill her, not when she still owed him a favor. But, he couldn't do it for much longer. His clothes, hat, bow tie, and eye were already slowly starting to change color.

"So, are you saying that you sent the shadows after me just so that I could owe you a favor?!"

"Hardly! I was trapped inside that horrid canister for the past five years! My magic could not reach beyond it! If it could, you and your whole family would be dead by now! I don't know why the shadows are after you but it was clearly something you did!"

"Yes, but I bet you're the reason the shadows are able to leave the Underworld in the first place!"

"What is that supposed to mean!"

"You said it yourself! The crystal was broken by 'unknown' ways! I bet you the only reason why the crystal was shattered was because of Weirdmageddon! I mean, what other event could have destroyed a powerful crystal that was supposed to keep the shadows trapped?! You're the one who started the weirdpocalypse, so it's your fault the shadows are after me!"

"You're the one who gave me the Rift!"

"I had no idea what it was! You tricked me into giving it to you, knowing full well that I had no clue what it was! And also, you're the one who tricked Great Uncle Ford into making the portal! We wouldn't be in this mess in the first place if you hadn't done that!"

Mabel was filled with so much rage that she didn't even notice what she was doing. She rose up her right hand…

And slapped him in the face.

When Mabel lowered her hand, she finally realized what she did. She didn't even care. "Trust me," she yelled, "that was the least you deserved!"

Everything was silent for a moment.

Then Bill lost it.

His normally yellow tailcoat turned red, and his black sleeves, gloves, top hat, eye patch, bow tie, pants, and shoes (if he had any) turned glowing white. The yellow part of his hair also turned red, while the black hair on the sides turned glowing white. His eye turned a different color too. The pupil turned pure white and was glowing and the rest of his eye turned pitch black.

Long story short, he was mad. And Mabel either didn't notice, or she didn't care.

Bill created a red and white ball of fire in both of his hands then threw it to the ground and let it spread until the 'cave' was made entirely of fire instead of ice.

Yet Mabel still did not care. She was too focused on the hatred she was feeling towards Bill to notice any of it.

Then Bill snapped his fingers and red light surrounded Mabel, unlike the usually blue. He levitated her and then forced her toward him until they were face to face, only a centimeter apart. With of a wave of his hand, the fire engulfed the entire room and was so high it was licking the bottom of Mabel's sneaker's.

But she still did not care. She continued to glare at him and Bill returned it, stronger and fiercer than ever before.

"Well let me tell you something Shooting Star! I don't regret doing it! I don't regret starting Weirdmageddon for a single second! If I could go back, the only thing I would change is that I wouldn't have been tricked by Stanford and Stanley! I would have seen through their switch and then I would have killed you just to watch your family suffer as you died a painful death! Then afterwards, I would have killed every person old Sixer loved until he told me how to take Weirdmageddon global! And if it had happened that way, I wouldn't have regretted killing your family and especially you for a single second!"

Mabel gasped, and then she growled. "You are a monster Bill Cipher!"

"Oh, I'm glad you finally noticed the obvious Shooting Star!"

Mable let out a scream of anger and tried to hit Bill again. He snapped his fingers though and forced Mabel's arms and legs against her body against her will. She could not move them in any way, shape, or form.

Then Bill leaned in so his mouth was right next to Mabel's ear. The side of his face was up against the side of her face but she still couldn't move away. She knew saying anything wouldn't change the situation so she most she could do was grit her teeth.

Bill's face against hers was not a very pleasant feeling at the moment.

"Let's get something straight Shooting Star." Bill whispered. "I would kill you in an instant. The only thing stopping me is the fact that you owe me a favor. However, the second you have completed that favor, I won't hesitate to kill you. I can't tell you when I will do it, but trust me when I say that it will happen. And I don't want you to forget that."

He moved away so he was facing her again and Mabel finally got her chance to speak. She talked in a much lower voice than before. "And trust me when I say that I will do everything in my power to make sure you stay dead afterwards. Because once the shadows are out of the way, I won't need your protection. I wouldn't have a reason not to kill you. Are we clear?"

Bill crossed his arms and growled. "Whatever helps you sleep at night." Then he snapped his fingers and all the fire disappeared. He gave Mabel one last hateful look until he snapped his fingers again and caused her to go falling towards the floor.

Mabel stifled her scream but could not stop a moan from escaping when she hit the floor. She slowly sat up and rubbed her back, not evening glancing where Bill was levitating.

After the soreness in her back began to fade, Mabel sat back on the ground and returned to attempting to draw on the ice. Surprisingly, none of it had melted even after all the fire. She pushed the thoughts of what just happened out of her mind and focused solely on her 'drawing.'

Bill snarled as he watched Mabel. How can Shooting Star sit there so peacefully after this? I suspected she would be glaring at me the whole time until this stupid geyser erupted. The fact that he did not even look his way irked him. He loved it when people showed how much they hated him and not seeing it from her was bothering him much more than he liked.

Still full of rage, Bill materialized his cane, which was also glowing white, and debated on whether or not to smash her skull with it. He decided it was best not to when she still owed him a favor and instead began to repeatedly whack the ice wall closest to him.

Mabel ignored it.

You know, I was going to go on, but I wanted to get this chapter out soon since there hasn't been one out for two weeks. If I had stopped where I wanted to, the chapter probably would have been 10,000 words! Also, sorry this chapter took a little bit to come out. I had school and I was also kind of lazy. Sorry!

I learned that Bill is really fun to write mad! I actually think it's easier to write him mad then when he isn't. I basically just make him yell random things and since he is Bill Cipher, it makes sense!

I'm still looking for ideas for realms! So if you have an idea you think would go well, tell me in a review! Also, someone asked and I am restricting it to imagination only. I don't want any of the realms to be actual crossovers. I'm trying to keep this in the Gravity Falls universe, even if Mabel and Bill are traveling to different realms.

Also, here's just a random interesting fact, I just found out that a character from one of my favorite TV shows has the same birthday as me!

Thanks so much for reading this chapter and I hope you enjoyed it! Please R&R, favorite, and follow! If you have anything you think I should improve on, leave it in a review! I would love to hear what you guys think about my story! Until next time…

Peace! GamerFan369
