Dipper let out a small but painful groan before his vision had fully returned and he could see three people sitting around the bed that he was laid down in. there was two old men and a young girl that looked very familiar. "Mabel." he said without knowing who that name belonged to… suddenly he recognized them, well for the most part. Enough to put a name with a face… "Stan, Ford, Mabel." he said randomly. As the girl arose from her deep slumber she was delighted to see that he was awake. "remember me?" she asked. His memories came flooding back into his head. The summer, the war, their lives. Bill too, a lot about Bill. "how could I forget my own sister Mabes?" he said with a slight smile on his face. Mabel had streams of tears running down her face, she jump on his bed and pulled him in for a tight hug. "I thought you were really gone this time." she said so sadly. "I will never leave you." he spoke sternly. Mabel got up and wiped the tears from her face and began to badger Dipper. "where were you, what took you so long, how come you remember everything?" she asked so fast he could barley keep up. "listen, does all that matter?" he asked trying to avoid the onslaught of questions. "all that matters is that I'm here now and ready to go on some more adventures." he said with a heavy smile. "yeah I guess you're right." maybe agreed wanting to talk some more. At that moment Ford had woken up and pointed some weird elongate piece of space metal at him. "who are you in that vessel?" he said very intimidating. "what?" Dipper spilled out. "answer or I pull the trigger." he tightened his grip on what he could assume was a gun. "Ford it's me, Dipper." he said in a frightened tone. "how do I know its really you?" he said even more scary than before. "when we were getting ready to leave for that hunt a few weeks before the whole apocalyptic event." he said with a unhearthy look on his face. "What are the exact words I used to tell you?" he asked curiously. "you said ' Dipper you know?" he thought for a second "you may be he only person I can relate to in this town, and brings me all the happiness I could ever want." he said confidently. Ford put the gun in the pocket in his trench coat. And gave the boy a manly hug. "Dipper I'm so sorry." he whispered in his ear. "sorry for what?" he questioned him. "I should have been the one to get blasted into the nothingness." he said as he let the boy go. "no." Dipper said. "I made the choice to save the whole world, it worked and I'm alright..." he pointed at himself. "it's a win win ya know?" he said with a small smile. "yes but how?" he starred even more intensely at Dipper. "you should have lost your memories when you got hit with that beam."

he pulled the memory gun out of his pocket. "maybe there is a switch or something." he examined the device to see if there was anything. "who cares?" Mabel said. "as long as my bro bro is back." Mabel started to ramble on about incoherent things. As she was rambling on Dipper started to feel himself losing reality. before he even knew it he was in a small plain that had nothing. Meanwhile his body was

standing on the bed making a maniacal laugh. When the body that belonged to Dipper looked up his pupils were no longer small and round. They were big, and made the shape of a slender vertical brown line. It was not Dipper anymore. 'you okay bro?" Mabel asked concerned for her brother. The more he laughed the more they grew. And eventually those vertical lines turned yellow. They knew, he was Bill. And he had power. Small things in the room started floating along with them was Bill/Dipper. His eyes grew more intimidating by the second. Until they closed. The body had fell to the bed and landed face down. "Dipper!" Mabel yelled as she ran to him and started vigorously shaking him. He awoke once more and blood started rushing from his nose. "what happened?" he asked very concerned. "it was bill." Ford said. "he took over your body, but only for a minute." Ford had explained to him. "what? Bill." dipper said frantically. He was starting to freak out a lot, enough for Mabel to notice and try to console him. " its okay Dipper." she said. "it was only for a few seconds."

he looked at Mabel and started to calm himself. "yeah, maybe it was just nothing." he had exclaimed.

"no." Ford yelled waking up Stan. "I need to run some tests, will you come with me Dipper?" he asked. "of course Ford." Dipper followed. Dipper started walking down the hall with Ford and Mabel. They reached the gift shop where the door to Ford's lab had been hidden. "Mabel you should stay here." Ford said. "yeah it needs to be just us." responded Dipper. "no." said Mabel in an angered tone. "if this is a problem then I want to be there and I want to help Dipper, I'm tired of always being left out of the loop when it comes to this sort of things." she proclaimed. "he is my brother and all summer I've done jack for him." she said. "I'm tired of just being a bystander, I want to help you and Ford." she exclaimed lastly. "okay." said Ford in an unexciting tone, he put the code into the door and began to walk to the elevator. "ponce we get to the lab go and activate the mind scanner." Ford commanded. When the elevator reached the final floor he walked over to his desktop and began to grab some monitors and weird flash drive looking things. "have a lie down Dipper." said Mabel patting her hands on an old sheet. "knowing the brain scanner this will take an exhausting amount of time, you should probably go and do something more enjoyable Mabel." Dipper tried to say convincingly. "ha, nice try Dipstick." said Mabel with a strained; but relaxing smile. "well we need to begin the tests, put the helmet on and sit down." as the helmet was placed on Dippers head the machine started to make an unstable shaking sound. "whats that Ford?" asked Mabel. "it's fine, it should hold up… but since Dipper shot it its been acting up." he said grinning at Dipper obviously trying to liven up the mood. "well… this should take some time." he said in a fret to leave. "I'm going to do some more work in my lab, don't bother me unless absolutely necessary." he walked into the room next to them covered in sheets and towels trying to hide whatever he was doing in there. "well, I'm going to get some rest." Dipper said. "even though I just woke up I feel more exhausted than ever." he explained. "yep, get some rest bro bro." Mabel said vaguely sneaky like. "yeah." Dipper said as he rolled over to go to sleep. He was a little suspicious at Mabel but eventually just… fell asleep. "hmm." Dipper thought to himself. "Where am I?" he asked himself. "This place doesn't look familiar." he told himself. "really?" a voice said out from the dark nothingness. "you don't remember?" he asked. "Bill" Dipper said in an belligerent tone. "whats up Pine tree?" he said while looking cocky. "what are you doing here?" asked Dipper. "well unfortunately I can't leave." he said. "some little shit zapped me with his brain gun and now I'm stuck in his head." he said getting a little angered. "and now I'm stuck here until I can get some mystic power to release me." he exclaimed now fully enraged and screaming very loudly. They both looked at each other. Dipper was in shock, Bill wasn't dead like he had hoped, but he was trapped. He had him in his head and he could never escape. "I bet I know what you are thinking kid, 'now I have Bill trapped in my head forever'" he said gaining an evil smile. "well you're dead wrong." he told him. "I may be stuck inside you, but I can still use your body as a vessel if I overpower our conscience." he explained. "anytime I fell you have become weak, when your emotions become too strong, or even when you sleep I will take control of your body, and make you do terrible things." he told him with a wretched smile. "you will never be happy again." he said. "I'll make you suffer no mater how well you think you have me locked down, I will over power you and make you into what you are scared of most."
