ACT ONE
The Dreamscape
Part Two
Bill kept a close eye on Pinetree, trying to make sure that he couldn't find out anymore before Bill could get his chance to destroy the journal.
Bill tried to seize the journal when Pinetree wasn't looking, though his attempts were unsuccessful.
And then, Pinetree found a laptop.
"Are. You. Kidding. Me." Bill now had another thing to focus on destroying.
Zelda started keeping watch over Bill to make sure he didn't get into too much trouble. She was quite sure what she'd do if she lost him.
Without him, she'd literally be the only person in the Dreamscape, and being lonely is NOT a thing she wanted to deal with, especially since there was only one person with access to the only way to summon her.
A/N: Do not go past this point unless you've watched Sock Opera or you don't mind spoilers.
Zelda watched, invisible, as Bill inhabited Pinetree.
"Huh? This can't be happening! What did you do to my body?!" Pinetree asked in a nervous tone.
"Sorry, kid but you're MY puppet, now!" Bill laughed, and stepped on the laptop, and laughed even more.
"Oh my gosh, this can't be happening. This can't be happening!"
Bill stumbled around, cackling. He stopped in front of a mirror. "Man, it has been so long since I've inhabited a body!" Bill slapped himself in the face. "Woo!" Bill slapped the other cheek. "Woo! Haha! Pain is hilarious! And two eyes? This thing's deluxe!"
Zelda held her hand up to her mouth.
"I don't understand! Why are you doing this?! I thought we had a deal!" Pinetree whined
"Look kid, you've been getting way too close to figuring out some major answers. I've got big plans comin' and I don't need you gettin' in my way. Destroying that laptop was a cinch. Now I just need to destroy your journal. Race ya to the bottom of the stairs!" Bill tumbled down the stairs.
Zelda followed Bill into the kitchen. She made herself visible. "Bill!"
"Zelda, what are you doing here?"
"What's going on?"
"I'm setting my plan into motion."
"Oh…What's this?" Zelda noticed a bag on the counter that said "Doritos". She grabbed it. "Human food? How's this pronounced…Do-right-os?" She squeezed the bag and accidentally popped it, and almost dropped the bag.
Bill shushed her. Zelda pulled out one of the chips, and noticed it was in a triangular shape. She gasped. "Bill! Look!"
"What?"
She stuffed the chip in her mouth, and pulled out another chip. "I'm eating your family!"
"I don't have a family."
Bill noticed Pinetree float in.
"Who's she?"
Zelda dropped the bag of Doritos, and floated away.
"Not important." Bill noticed the refrigerator. He opened it and pulled out a can of soda. "Human soda! I'm gonna drink it like a person!" He opened the can and dumped it on himself. "Where do you keep that journal, anyway?" Bill stuck his arm in a drawer and slammed the drawer repeatedly. "It's gotta be around here somewhere!" Bill continued slamming the drawer. "Boy these arms are durable!"
"I've hidden it!"
Bill had stuck a bunch of forks in his arm.
"Somewhere you'll never find it in a million years!"
Shooting Star peeked her head through the door.
"Hey Dipper! I borrowed your journal to use as a prop in the show I hope you don't mind I'm gonna go before you process this sentence okay BYEE!"
"Sure, sounds great sister! I'll see you at the show!" Bill grinned evilly.
"Wait! No, Mabel, don't listen to him! That's not me!" Pinetree started floating out. He floated in front of the car "You've gotta hear me! No, no, wait stop!"
The car drove off, and Dipper phased through it.
"Heh! Welcome to the mindscape, kid!" Bill laughed "Without a vessel to possess, you're basically a ghost!"
"You can't stop me! I'm a being of pure energy with no weakness!" Bill lunged at Shooting Star.
"True, but you're in Dipper's body. And I know all his weaknesses!"
"Whaddya mean his-"
Shooting Star tickled Bill.
"Tickle, tickle!"
Bill laughed and collapsed "Aah! Body spasms! What are these?"
"A little note about the human body- You haven't slept for 24 hours!" Shooting Star ran around the stage, Bill chasing her. "Also, I got a full night's sleep and I'm on four mega-shots of Mabel Juice!"
"Ah! What is this feeling?" he wheezed "My body is burning! I can't move these stupid noodle legs! Curse you, useless flesh sticks! Body...shutting down... must...scratch... mosquito bites..."
Bill floated out of Pinetree's body. He quickly inhabited the puppet.
"This isn't the last you'll hear of me! Big things are coming! You can't stop me!"
And then the fireworks went off. Bill quickly made it back, and practically flew into Zelda's arms.
"Destroying this journal is going to be more difficult than I originally thought…"
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, hon, but could you not have your arms so tight around me?"
Zelda loosened her grip on the triangle. "Sorry."
He turned to his humanoid form once again. "There has to be another way…"
"Bill, just give it a rest for a moment, okay? I'm a little worried."
Bill dipped Zelda. "Zelda, don't worry. Everything is under control."
"Back there with Pinetree and Shooting Star, it didn't seem under control!"
"Zelda!"
"Bill, what is really going on here?"
"Zelda, I'm not telling you any of this because…"
"Because what?"
"Because I love you!"
"Excuses, excuses, excus-Wait, what now?"
"I love you."
"Are you playing a trick on me? Why would you play a trick on a fellow demon?"
"Zelda, isn't it obvious, I am in love with you. Shameful, but true."
"So, you're ashamed of being in love with me?"
"No, I'm ashamed that I'm succumbing to human urges and feelings."
"I don't believe you." Zelda began to float off, only for Bill to grab her arm, and gently tug her back.
"Zelda." He turned her towards him, and moved some of her hair out of her face. "I love you. What do I need to do for you to believe me?"
"Tell me your plan."
"Okay…Fine…" He began to describe to her a plan involving destroying all three journals, getting rid of the Pines Twins, and taking over Gravity Falls.
Zelda gasped.
"Well…What do you think?"
"Bill…" She looked down at the ground "What is this all for?"
Bill stayed silent. Zelda just looked at him, and shook her head slowly.
