"Hi people and demons," Mabel said in her excited voice when she was planning on something. "It's Will's birthday tomorrow."

"We know Mabel," Dipper said.

"And I'm just an useless trash," Bill said sounding hurt. "All you do is keep pushing me away."

Bill loved to play hurt for even a tiniest thing. But it was rare for him to fake a cry. Yeah now he was faking a cry. It was totally messed up with giggles but it just caused everybody in room to laugh. That's the Bill we know and love. Always bringing laugh into house (and keeping it on feet long into night).

"Okay okay I'm sorry Bill," Dipper chuckled from the couch.

"Hmppf..." was all he got from a demon on floor.

"Okay fine I am very trully sorry for my words Willaim Cipher I promise it won't happen again," Dipper rolled his eyes and chuckled.

Bill just sent him a 'I hate you but you're cute' look and Dipper giggled and blushed. Time to time it was funny how Bill used to flirt with Dipper. Well he flirted with everyone but with Dipper was a total new story. Dipper got really nervous when he was in Bill's presence. He shook and stuttered out of enbrasement and sweat like mad. Bill on the other hand just found it cute only to hide his own nervousness. He always acted so well when it came to this. But now he had to act really hard for not to just kiss Dipper right there and now. You see Bill wasn't a type who would be familiar with these feelings and sometimes he had to slap himself for having daydreams about Dipper and even more awkwardly... he stared at him and (as Will pointed out) he would have a pinky hearts flying around his head if they would have been in a cartoon.

But time to time they both just relaxed and followed the destiny. WICH WASN'T VERY OFTEN.

"Ok," Mabel went on, "what I wanted to say is that I'm planning a - dramatical drums please... A SLUMBER PARTY!''

She actually made a confetti canon explode brhind her and everybody had colorful paper in their hair in second.

"Sounds great to me," Jill said and her twin sister nodded.

"I'm in if Blueberry wants too," Tyrone said and he and Will (who was sitting in his lap) made a 'penguin kiss'.

"Sure thing," Will smiled.

"If my twin wants to then oh well," Bill said. "Count me in."

Mabel was literally jumping out of excitement.

"I'm not into things like that but fine," Pacifica said in her superior voice (she learned not to use it but time to time she just reminded them who she was), "I'll come to that party."

"Fine. I'll come," Melanie said in bored tone.

"Well I guess I will have to say yes then," Dipper said.

Mabel let out a happy squee and litteraly tuched the ceiling of the room. "OMG I can't believe you all will come! I promise this will be the best slumber party ever!"

"Hey did you forget on me?" female voice from behind her back said.

"Marissa!" Mabel said when she turned in a blink of an eye.

I moment demon girl was hugged by Bill, Will, Jill, Gill, Mabel and Dipper. "O-okay guys... Woa woa woaaaaaa...!"

And they fell on ground laughing like mad. "W-will y-ou comme to o-our slumb-ber party?" Mabel asked still laughing. Marissa just nodded.

So the night had fallen and everybody were gathered together in living-room. All in their pajamas and with their plushies and sleeping bags were chit chatting and waiting. Finally Mabel came in in her pink pajamas with an unicorn on her top (Mabel will stay Mabel no matter how old she is) amd drew two handcarts. One was full of snacks (literally full) and other was full of film CDs.

"Well let's this party begin!" she said.

First they watched movies. From Mamma Mia, to Indiane Johnes, then they came to Disney movies like Lion King, Bambi (Will and Mabel actually cried at the part where Bambi's mother died), Tangled, Frozen and Brave. Then they played games. Twister, Activity, gumi-twist, truth or dare, etc. And few minutes to midnight they decided to follow the tradition of all slumber parties: story telling.

All of them told one story, spooky or not. Of course they all laughed at Bill's story about how he once embarrassed George Washington infront of his people by putting dead mouse into his pockets instead of his pocket wach. And so they all told a story. Mabel's was the most "interesting" and they all wanted it to end sooner than later though they didn't show it at all.

"... And that's how I named my first unicorn," she ended and even bowed.

"That was great," Marissa smiled. "Now I guess it's my turn. But I want you all to help me with details because we all know it all too well. It sarted two years ago."

"Oh nooooo," Tyrone said. "Not that one."

"What it is Will's and Bill's birthday so I think it's the best if we tell the story about them. Or rather us saving Will from 'Gleeful Twins: The living nightmare'", Marissa said.

"Just for knowing missy," Melanie said. "We had been in detention until we came here. Yes two years we have been let out only to help... ugh... working on garden. With maids. And no magic. Do you even know how hard it was?"

"Well now that I destroyed your amulets you don't seem to complain much," Gill giggled.

"Shut up you little brat."

Marissa rolled her eyes and started to tell her story.

"Two years ago..."

It was quite normal day of summer holidays and Pines Twins were doing their usual tasks when a strangely familiar shape was starting to appear. It was a man of 16 years with golden hair and black locks, gold-brown eyes, cream honey skin tone and dressed like a true gentleman. On his right eye was triangular eyepatch that was mostly covered with his hair. He also had a top hat, bow tie and a walking cane. It was no one other than Bill Cipher himself. But instead of grining madly or laughing he looked a bit worried and stressed.

"H-hi Pine Tree, hi Shooting Star," he greeted akwardly.

"What do you want Bill?" Dipper asked.

"Look I- I mean we don't have much time so I'll be honest," Bill said. "I need your help."

Dipper looked at demon. He looked much more normal than when he was controlled by his father. Besides his voice was sounding very normal now and not that annoying high pitched voice. Besides he looked quite nice... 'Ugh Dipper quit it. That's Bill Cipher and not some sort of an saint.'

"What do you need?" Mabel asked sounding ready to help as usual.

"Well you see, since I was in control of my father, my siblings were left alone," Bill explained and it looked like he is in real hurry. Did he sound worried? "And now when I returned, my step twin sisters told me that my twin brother Will was enslaved by your reversed selves. And now I need your help to save him."

Dipper didn't look affected by the story but Mabel was.

"Wait," male twin said. "You are being of pure energy with no weakness, right? And you can't save your brother?"

"Nooooo," Bill said and floated closer. "My FATHER thought he was a "being of pure energy with no weakness". It was he who said this, not me. You remember that I wasn't in my mind right?"

This time it was Mabel who was faster. "Why of course we will help you save Will, isn't that right Dipper?" she said in her excited voice.

But Dipper didn't get a time to say a word.

"Yay!" Bill cheered and made a back roll in air. "No more time wasting then. Come meet the others."

Demon grabbed both twins by hand and they disappeared.

"One more information for hou Bill," present Dipper said. "After that you took us, Ford and Stan almost got heart attacks. Twice. Or trice..."

"Hey I needed help," Bill grinned. "We would waste precious time by explaining that to them with all their blah blah blah stuff."

"Yeah and we ended in detention for a whole two weeks," Dipper pointed out.

"Awww... And you died out of boredom," dream demon smirked.

"I almost did..." Dipper mumbled.

"I heard that," Bill said.

"Ok you two," Marissa said, "if you are done then let's return to the story."

The three appeared in a room that looked like a bedroom. It was really big one and it looked almost like an Egyptian vault. Definitely Bill's room.

"Ok I'll just go get girls," demon said. "Wait here and don't touch anything."

As he left Dipper took a look at the bedroom. It was all in yellow and gold (nothing suprising at all). His bed was in fact a pile of soft yellow pillows and blankets. He even had a TV on wall and it wasn't that small too. He even had his own couch and two armchairs with coffeetable. There was even a bookshelf with mostly spell books and that stuff. But what caught Dipper's attention were details that looked like they were made with very much care. Yes they were made. Handmade.

There were paintings of Earth's animals and people and landscape. And not to mention hand sewed plush ponies, kitties, deers and even dolls. Well there were even clay figures of few Greek goddesses and gods. Dipper reconised Hera, Gaia, Thetis, Iris, Morpheus, Apolo, Poseidon and Hades. But the most outstanding figure was winged girl with long hair and she looked like a real person. But Dipper had that odd feeling that he saw her somwhere once.

He moved to Bill's writing table and found piles of paper on it. Mostly drawings of nature and animals and ancient spirits. But there were again drawings of the same girl as the figure. It was like Bill tried really hard to draw it to that kind of perfection.

"Pine Tree?" suddenly voice called him and Bill was standing behind him.

"Oh Bill!'' Dipper jumped and turned. "Don't scare me like that!"

Demon just rolled his eye and dragged him to meet the others. (I won't be describing them because I'm too lazz) There were three girls, two younger and one older.

"Pine Tree, Shooting Star, please meet my younger step sisters, Jill and Gill," Bill intruduced two younger she demons. "And our cousin Marissa Glorious Cipher.''

"Delighted to meet you both," Marissa said and shook both twins' hand.

"Now let's get to business," Bill said more serious now.

They sat on couch and Bill started the conversation again. "Marissa, you wisited him the last day, correct me if I'm wrong. So what did you get from him?"

"You're correct Bill," Marissa said. "Yes I was talking with him. And though I was not long, he managed to tell me that the Gleeful Twins are going to have a big party for whatever reason. And he'll be serving - shame no doubt."

"Well we could just go to the party, save Will and go back home," Dipper said. "How hard that could be?"

"Much more than you think," Jill said.

"Gleeful twins are no fools - they are but you know what I mean," Gill said. "They will surely use tones of spells for protecting the mansion from us. And even if we manage to trick the spells, there will 100% be guards. And not just any guards. Especially trained guards to keep demons away."

Dipper put his finger on his chin in through. All that made sense. Glerfuls must have been really fear of losing Will (he didn't even want to know for what all things they were using his magical abilities). Who knows what all things would crash down for them if they would loose him. So, protecting the mansion from demons would make a lot of sense.

"Wait does that spells makes demons unable to come near or it simply kills them?" Mabel asked.

"Demons can't die Mabel," Marissa said. "We can only be destroyed. And as much as Will told me, brats know how to do that. So I wouldn't be suprised if they would do just that. But no Mabel I don't know what those spells do. Combined together would actually took away our powers."

"What about if you enter the mansion without magic?" Mabel suggested. All others looked at her.

"And how the crap we're supposed to do that?" Bill asked.

"Actually Mabel is right," Dipper said. "Is there a possibility of you becoming like humans?"

Demons looked at each other. "What exacly are you trying to ask?" Jill asked.

"Well you said that spells keep demons away. But not humans," Mabel explained.

"What she is trying to say is," Dipper said, "that if there is any possible way for you guys to become humans. Like us, without magic."

"I think that mom has a book with a spell like that," Gill said. "But I doubt she'll let us use it."

"That's because I won't," said an older female voice.

Vanessa Cipher was standing there, hands on her hips and serious yet soft expression on her face. She was a woman of 36 years with a light blue hair in length of her ankles (pretty long huh?) and pale skin. Her eyes were baby blue wich made them stand out.

"Kids you know that you can't go save Will all by yourself," she said and sat down.

"But Auntie Vanessa, Will is in trouble," Marissa said. "We have to do something."

"Yes mom," Bill said and stood up. "And we are going if you like it or not."

Vanessa looked at the children and saw a fire in their eyes that was burning so bright. She knew them. If she'll forbid them to do something they'll just sneak out and do it anyway. It was not that she would want to abandon Will and left him with Gleeful Twins, heaven forbid that. As a mother she was trying to do everything to save him but she knew that these brats were smart. And even a powerful demon like herself would need help with such mission. And sending young demons and humans like them to do that wasn't so responsible for her. But it was better than having them sneak away and do it anyway. Eather way they would go. So she made up her mind.

"I know I can't stop you from going but at least I can go with you and make sure you all come back," she said.

"Mom..." Bill said in embarrassment.

"Bill you know I won't risk anything to lose somebody of you," Vanessa said. "Besides I know of a way how to come in with turning into a human. But it's time limited."

(On the day of the Ball)

"Ugh why do I have to wear a dress? Mabel, I'm a boy not a girl," Dipper protested when he came out in a beautiful dark violet dress to the ground and a bit lighter bolero with sleeves that were a bit over his shoulders. He even had a simple diamond necklace around his neck and the matching bracelet.

"Sorry Dipper," Marissa said. She was wearing pink and purple dress also to the ground. "But we have special rules of how to dress. Especially riquets like you."

"What are riquets?" Dipper asked. Girls giggled but didn't ansver at all.

"You'll just have to find out," Gill said (well it was two years now and Dipper still had no idea what it means)

Dipper frowned and rolled his eyes. He had experiences with arguing with Mabel about telling him something and it didn't end well. So he just decided he'll move with it even though he would rather prefer to wear stuff he usually do (but though he wouldn't admit it aloud he liked ro wear a dress by some unknown reason he had no time to identify).

After gathering in main hall area Vanessa teleported them all into Reverse Falls dimension. They landed in forest but luckily nobody got his/her suit ripped.

"Okay," Vanessa said. "I can make you go in without being noticed but you have exactly three hours. After three hours your powers will return and there will be a big chance for all of you being caught. Do you understand?" Kids nodded. "Then go we have no time to waste."

For a moment young demons glowed a bit but came back to normal quickly. They looked at each other and ran to save Will. They stopped at the bush not far from the gates. There was a very muscled guard there and asking guests for invitations.

"Crap we have no invitations," Bill said in anger.

"Actually we do," Marissa said and pulled blue invitation card. "Luckily I made duplication spell on it before or we would've problem now."

Each of them took one invitation and they headed to guard. He was really tall and muscled not to mention that he would surely break a demon wurh a pinch. And if it wasn't anything else that made Bill swallow it was for sure that he was a bit scared. It didn't help that he tried to hide it.

"Invitations?" guard asked blankly.

Kids gave him their invitations and hoped he is stupider than strong. Guard looked over the invitations then at them. After what seemed to be eternity he finally decded they shall go in. Once on a yard of a mansion (that looked kind of like Pacifica's only more white and silver blue). They smirked like most characters in movies do right before their mission starts. They took their masks out of Marissa's handbag and put them on.

"Be prepared Gleefuls. We are comming to get Will."

TO BE CONTINUED...

Gah I HATE those three words so much. But I really have to use them or I won't get everything together (life is cruel). As much as I hate to do it I have to. But look at the brighter side. There is more action than you think. So don't quit reading I promise I'll do more but I have to write other chapters too. So I hope you'll be patient with me and don't forget to review to tell me what you think! Thanks everyone and "Night Star".
