Two days earlier
Sam and Mabel were alone talking to each other. A series of events had led to them locking Dipper and Trixie in a room, alone.
"Well, they're probably not going to overcome their inhibitions and finally make-out anytime soon. Want to make a a plan to kinda 'hurry' it up?... Or at the very least, get some embarrassing pictures of them?"
Mabel started jumping up and down.
"Yesyesyes!"
"Any suggestions?"
Mabel made her 'Serious face' and concentrated.
"Hhmmm... Whenever I tie Dippers shoe laces together he falls on whatever's in front of him, or in this case WHOEVER'S in front of him."
Sam grinned ear to ear.
"YES!"
They began plotting and eventually devised a plan that would be hilarious, for them. Sam ran by everything with Mabel one last time.
"You know the plan?"
"Yes, we just wait till tomorrow, maybe later, until Trixie cools off."
"Great. What do we do till then?"
Mabel gave it some thought.
"We could talk about cute boys?"
Sams face was blank and he was silent for a moment, hoping Mabel would see the hole in her logic on her own. She didn't.
"...I'm a boy, Mabel. And I don't do that. However, if you know any cute girls around Gravity Falls that might be interested, please let me know."
Presently
His and Mabel's plan had gone better than either of them had expected. Sam had used his powers to tie Dippers shoe laces together, and he fell on Trixie while they were walking towards each other. The resulting effect was Dipper falling on top of Trixie, and them accidentally kissing. Sam had then snapped several pictures of it and gave the camera to Mabel, while he ran from a absolutely furious Trixie. After a long time, Trixie gave up on trying to catch Sam, and came into the Mystery Shack, exhausted.
"No good feathered jerk."
Dipper saw her and went up to her, feeling really awkward being around her.
"H-hey Trixie."
"That never happened."
"Agreed."
Elsewhere Sam ran up to Mabel, where they planned on meeting. He had escaped Trixies wrath(for now), and was huffing from the running he had done.
"While I... had her distracted... you got... the pictures made?"
"Yep. And I hid them in all the places you said. So if she finds one, we have others."
"...Good... did you find out if there are any cute girls around Gravity Falls who might be interested in me?"
Mabel got a big grin and started jumping up and down.
"OOOOOOO! Yes! There was one who's been coming to the Mystery Shack a lot, and she was eyeing you. She has REALLY dark hair, and wears an orange and black tank top."
"Fantastic! Do you know when she'll be here again?"
Mabel's big smile got even bigger.
"She's here right now. I told here you'd be back soon, and had been wanting to see her."
She grabbed Sams arm and started pulling him into the Mystery Shack, a slight feeling of dread filled Sam.
"Wait! Now? Not now! Wait! I was just hunted by Trixie! I smell like a yak... don't ask how I know what those smell like."
Despite his fighting, she manage to pull him inside. Trixie was sitting at the cash register when she saw him.
"I'm still REALLY ticked off at you, but I'm to tired to smack you out cold. So I got my eye on you Samuel."
"You might not have to punish me. MABEL LET GO!"
Both Dipper and Trixie were a little amused by this, Trixie added.
"Not gonna work dude. That girl has a grip so strong a fairy can't break free."
Sam still struggled and Mabel looked to Trixie for help.
"Trixie, hold Sam down. There's a pretty girl here I want him to meet, but this angel's fighting like a demon! Just hold him down while I get her."
A evil grin spread on her face.
"My pleasure." She pinned Sams arms behind his back, but then got a whiff of him. "WHEW! Dude, you smell like dragon breath."
Dipper just stood there with his arms crossed.
"I'm cross between making her let you go, or helping her pin you down. I'm still pretty mad at you."
Trixie still had on an evil smile as she said.
"Karmaaaaa."
Sam was getting ticked himself.
"Hey! I try to make everything I do for the greater good. Just because I was helping you overcome your inhibitions, don't do this to me. Let me go, before she sees me, or SMELLS me."
From another room a girl could be heard talking to Mabel.
"Wait! He's here now? Wait! Stop! It's 105 degrees outside! I smell like a yak... don't ask me how I know what those smell like."
"Stop fighting!"
Mabel pulled a very pretty girl about 13 into the room. She had wavy raven colored hair, amber eyes, was wearing an orange and black tank top, and dark grey jeans.
"No... and why is he being held down.
Dipper told her.
"He really ticked her off."
Trixie whispered into Sams ear.
"Never mess with a girl who has 'Ticking time bomb' as a nickname. Have fun Samuel."
Sam turned around, still on the floor, as he looked up at the unnamed girl.
"Um...hi. I'm Samuel, Sam for short."
The girl started to take a few steps forward.
"Hi, I'm-"
Right as she was about to introduce herself, Trixie saw a golden opportunity to get back at Sam. She used her magic to tie the girls shoelaces together.
"I'm-"*Trips*"Wow!"
"uh oh."
She fell right on top of Sam, and both their faces started turning red when their lips met. Dipper looked from this to Trixie.
"I really hope he doesn't hold a grudge like you do."
Sam started to recover his senses, and while she was still on top of him, he tried introducing himself again.
"Hi, I'm Samuel, Sam for short."
She looked into his mismatched eyes.
"Hi, I'm Andriana, Andri for short."
She was STILL on top of him.
"Want to hang out sometime?"
"Yes."
Andri finally got up, and said to everyone.
"Okay. Good bye. If any of you breaths a word of this, I'll smite you."
She then left the Shack. Sam was still lying on the floor, he started blushing slightly and got a dumb grin on his face. (His grins are usually more wolfish)
"He he... he...he."
Trixie couldn't stop herself from giggling.
"That was actually kinda funny and cute."
Sam turned his head towards Trixie, he was still smiling.
"Thanks Trixie. Sorry your revenge failed utterly."
"Don't be so sure about that Sammy. You're still on the floor, and this gives me a chance to do something Wendy taught me."
She stuck her finger in her mouth, and gave Sam a wet Willie.
"Ewwww...nope. Still happy."
They all laughed at that and Trixie helped him up.
"Well I'm satisfied, for now."
Elsewhere
Andriana had put some distance between her and the Shack. That Sam boy was cute, and she had enjoyed accidentally kissing him, more than she would admit, but waiting had made her late. Not that she regret it though, she wasn't exactly 'fond' of her mentor. She hummed a tun as she made sure no one was around, then she concentrated. On her back, black smoke appeared to be condensing, and after a few seconds a pair of giant black falcon wings spread behind her. She then took to the sky.
Her flight was only a few minutes long, she didn't have far to go. Her wings had carried her to a warehouse outside of town, 412 Gopher road. It bonged to the Gleeful family, but her new mentor had got her to use her powers to affect their minds to the point where they didn't mind having two kids use their warehouse every few days. She landed outside and knocked on the door.
"Anyone home?"
The door was pulled open by an invisible force. Most people would be scared by that, but Andri had seen him do this more then once, so she walked in.
"What kept you?"
In the middle of the large room a boy about 13 with dirty blond hair, and grey eyes was looking up at the ceiling. Andri spoke to him.
"Nothing much Azazel. There was this cute boy."
Azazel kept looking up at the ceiling of the warehouse. There was a large mass of black smoke that appeared to be alive, dancing around up there. It looked like an imp, only much bigger.
"Oh, do tell."
Andri sometimes had trouble telling whether or not he was genuinely interested.
"Well I noticed him a few days ago when I couldn't read his mind, even when I tried."
That got Azazel's attention, Andri couldn't always read every persons mind, but when she tried, she almost always got the gist of what they were thinking.
"Really? What did you do when that happened?"
"I started looking for info on him. He seems like a pretty sweet guy, a lot of people around town speak pretty highly of him. I also noticed he was funny, brave, adventurous, and..."*Blushes a little*"More than a little cute."
Azazel got a mischievous grin.
"Ooooo. Is Andriana in LOOOOOVE?"
Andri grabbed a crate with her mind, and sent it hurtling at the cheeky devil. He ducked it, laughing his head off.
"Hahaha, I'm sorry, okay?" (He wasn't sorry at all)
*Roles eyes*"Alright, but if you keep that up, one of these days, I'm not going to miss."
"That'll be the day. Did you bring the stuff needed?"
Andri reached into her pockets and pulled out several little objects: A small stuffed lion, a ring, and a bronze coin. Azazel took each item and examine them. Andri looked proud of herself, and bragged a little to him.
"Items psychicly imprinted with memories. Perfect food for your mutated imp. The lion used to be a little boys toy, but he grew up and threw it out. The ring used to be the wedding ring for a young couple, but they got new ones, and I thought it'd be a shame to waste it."
The large cloud of black smoke came down, and 'ate' the memories tied to the stuffed lion and the ring, growing a little with each meal. Azazel then looked at the bronze coin.
"I almost feel a little guilty feeding it this. It's about 300 years old, and..."*Licks it*"Has had incredible sentimental value to many people throughout its existence."
He tossed it in the air and the mutated imp consumed its memories as well, with this one the creature grew significantly. Little flecks of gold light, which were the memories, could be seen travelling from the coin and into the black smoke, where it was absorbed as sustenance.
"That thing's getting big, I don't think I'll be able to bring it more memories much longer."
"I might have a plan for that, so no worries. You ready for your lesson?" Azazel let out his wings, they were jet black and looked like a vultures, but unlike Andri's or Sam's wings, they had a slight metallic sheen to them.
"I guess."
Awhile ago, Azazel had found out about Andri being a incarnated demon like him, and he had offered to help her learn to use her powers, in exchange for a little help from her. She didn't like him very much, she didn't hate him either, but she wouldn't have been surprised if he was willing to push her in front of a bus to get what he wanted.
He didn't have her do too much, keep an eye out, and recently had her bring food for the creature that floated above them. The creature was getting too big to just be fed on trinkets anymore, but Azazel did have a plan for that. A very wicked plan.
The Next Day
Dipper and Sam had just finished a video-game match, and were taking a break, enjoying a little Pitt Cola. Sam raised his can to Dipper.
"Well played my dude, well played."
"Same to you. Haven't had a challenge like that in awhile, and thanks for that tip, Mabel's never going to crush in that game again."
"Any time Dipper."
They both started to drink their Pitt, and before they new it, they had started chugging it in a contest of who could finish it first. Dipper got done first, slamming his can into the table, he let out a large burp.
"HA!"
Sam finished after Dipper, but he let out a bigger belch.
"Ha ha, nice."
"Who won that?"
Dipper thought it over carefully, or as carefully as one needs to think in a contest about drinking soda and burping.
"Lets call it a draw."
The laughed again, and Trixie and Mabel had seen the whole thing. Trixie shook her head.
"Men are so weird. No wonder there are so few in my world."
Sam grinned.
"And yet you stick around here. We must have something you like."
Sam and Dipper laughed again.
Outside the Shack, Andriana was walking up to the door. Before she opened it to go in, she hesitated, a little nervous, which wasn't like her.
Is it weird that I came here without giving him a heads up? Will he be creeped out that I came to see him so soon? Will the world EXPLODED?! She thought. These were normal thoughts for teenagers about to do what she was. So if you're that age, and in that position, don't worry, the world won't explode.
She finally brought herself to open the door and go in, where she saw the other four kids. Sam saw her too, and almost accidentally drowned drinking his soda. He coughed violently, and beat his chest with his left hand.
"An-"*Cough*"Andr-"*Hacks violently*"Andri! I didn't expect to see you so soon."
She looked embarrassed. *I knew I shouldn't have come to see him yet! I should have waited, and know I bet he thinks I'm weird.
"Sorry, I should hav-"
"I'm glad you came!"
Sam started blushing the second he said it; without thinking, he had accidentally blurted it out, and cut her off in the middle of speaking. Andri was taken aback, she smiled a little.
"Thank you. Are you okay? Almost choked on your drink there."
"I'm fine, I've been in worse spots then that." (He isn't lying)
"Ha! I bet a handsome boy like you gets into all kinds of trouble." She laughed, the nervousness and awkwardness from before was forgotten for a second. That was, until she realized what she had said. "Wait! I didn't mean that you were handsome! I mean, you ARE handsome but...AK!...I'm going to shut up now."
She covered her now red face with her hands, Mabel found the whole thing hilarious, but took pity on the poor girl. She pushed Sam towards the deeply embarrassed girl, he just looked at Mabel, not understanding what she wanted him to do. Mabel rolled her eyes and did it herself.
"Hey Andri, you want to go with us and hang out?"
She looked up.
"What?"
"Do you want to hang out with all four of us? I was going to get the boys to come with me and Trixie into town, it'll be fun!"
"Um, sure. If you don't mind."
Dipper gave Sam a nudge, and a thumbs up. Mabel then whispered to Sam.
"You owe me."
Mabel then grabbed Dipper and Trixie and started dragging them out of the room.
"We need to...I don't know, get a few things? We'll leave you two alone."
Those three left the room, but once they were out of sight, they all spied on the two teens.
"Soooo...How have you been since yesterday?"
"Good, good. I went to see someone I knew, after we accidentally..."
She trailed off, and there was an awkward silence as they both remembered that accidental kiss. They wouldn't admit it anytime soon, but they had both enjoyed it.
The other three that had been watching them, and stood outside their field of vision. Dipper was watching Sam with confusion, normally Sam was very confident, almost fearless. But right now, he seemed shy, unsure of himself, and a little awkward. Though, Dipper also noticed that Andri seemed the same way. He didn't know her like he knew Sam, but he was sure that this was not normal for her. He noticed she had come into the Shack a few times, she was definitely different from Sam, but she was not shy, unsure of herself, or a little awkward.
Back with Sam and Andri they were still standing there in that horribly awkward silence. Sam couldn't take it anymore, he blurted out something just like before.
"I had a dream about you last night."
He immediately gave himself a mental punch in the face. Andri thought about this for a second and asked.
"Was I dressed?"
"What?"
Sam had not expected that response.
"Was I dressed in your dream?"
For a second Sam forgot about his nervousness, a little of his normal personality slipped out, and he got a wolfish grin on his face, which Andri found adorable.
"I'm tempted to say no, just to see how you'd react."
The others heard this, and Trixie slapped he forehead. Oh Sammy, unless you don't want to make a good impression on a girl, don't make her think you're a pervert.
Andri looked like she might punch him, Sam just laughed and said.
"Let me rephrase that, you were dressed, no need to worry, but I do want to know what you would do if I had said no."
"I would probably try to kill you."
"...I find that strangely attractive."
Andri blushed and giggled a little, she had not expected that. Normally her threatening to kill a boy would put them off, but this one actually found it ATTRACTIVE! She liked that, a lot.
"Okay! We're ready to go."
Mabel had decided that the two of them had had enough alone time to help get over that first wall of awkwardness. They still had more of them they needed to climb, but now that the first one was done, they could handle being around each other.
Later
The rest of the day was spent around town, Andri and Sam were still a little shy around each other. Mabel just rolled her eyes at Sam again and helped the poor angel out. She asked Andri all kinds of questions and did the same for Sam, leading a convention between them so that they could find out more about the other.
Andri moved to gravity falls about a year ago with her mom. She used to live with both her mom and dad, but her dad had to travel a lot, so she didn't get to see him often. She also liked music, big dogs, folk lore, ice tea, swimming, traveling, and general excitement. Mabel still pressed the subject, trying to get them to relax around each other.
"What's your favorite color, Andri?"
"It's a mix of blue and green."
"Cool. What about yours Sam?"
"I like orange."
Nothing she did seemed to work. She whispered to Dipper and Trixie.
"What do we do?"
"What do you mean 'we'? We shouldn't be messing with them, just leave them alone like you did at the Shack, they did good by themselves."
Mabel look at Dipper, open mouthed.
"Dipper, you genius!" Her look after that quickly went from being inspired, to more mischievous as she taunted her brother."How are you somehow still clueless with girls?"
"Watch it!"
Mabel went over to the other two teenagers, she hadn't thought out what she would say fully through though.
"We forgot our swim suits...which we need because...you know what? Forget it. We just want to leave you two alone."
She grabbed Dipper and Trixie and ran off. Andri was confused.
"What?"
"She was trying to give us 'special' time alone. If you catch my drift."
Her eyes widened as she understood why they had wanted them to be alone. She did want a little private time with Sam, though she wouldn't admit it.
"NOT COOL, GIRL!"
Sam chuckled, she looked cute when she was angry. That might have been what brought out his normal personality, for what he said next.
"I bet you're glad you've got me all to yourself."
Now she was down right furious, and a little embarrassed. She looked right into Sams mismatched eyes, which she found amazing, and gave him a death glare, which had no effect on him. Despite how mad she was, she found that pretty hot.
"Hey, keep that up, and I'll kick your butt."
Sam returned her glare.
"No, you would TRY to kick my butt!"
Now she was even more ticked.
"What? Are you saying because I'm a girl, I couldn't beat you up?"
"No, I'm saying you couldn't beat me up because I'm just that good."
"Ha! A scrawny guy like you wouldn't stand a chance."
Sam rolled his eyes.
"Please, I take on nastier things than you on all the time."
Sam and Andri were starring each other down. Andri was furious, and was looking right into his eyes, with a icy cold stare.
"You have no idea who you're messing with, Sam."
Sams gaze didn't waver for a second.
"And neither do you."
They continued to stare the other down, then the anger in their eyes began to fade away, and they started to drift towards each other, about to kiss. Their lips were less than an inch from the others, their eyes closed, and they each could sense the emotions of the other. Then as they were about to do what they had wanted to since 'before' they met each other, they pulled back, feeling fear, embarrassment, and absolute regret that they didn't fallow through. They both turned around and left, mentally beating themselves for not kissing the other.
"What just happened?"
Trixie had heard them yelling at each other, and had convinced her friends to go back and see what was happening. They had got there just in time to see them almost kiss, and run away.
Sam
Sam had flown to the Mystery Shack, landed on the roof, and snuck into the attic. He was giving himself a vicious mental beating.
You Idiot! You stupid, stupid idiot! You barely knew her, and you tried to freaking KISS her! And that's not even the worst part, she had wanted to kiss YOU! You coward! You probably just ruined any chance you had with this girl. If I wasn't you, I'd give you a thrashing.
He banged his forehead against the wall, letting out a quiet "Ow" when he did it. He would have continued suffering in silence if Dipper hadn't come in.
"Hey man."
"Hey dude."
There was silence between them.
"Are you alright?"
"No I am not. I get the feeling that you saw me royaly mess up?"
"I didn't see you mess up. You and a girl you met yesterday almost kissed, you must be doing something right."
Sam buried his face in hos hands in his face and chuckled.
"Thanks Dip, it feels good to hear that, but something is wrong. I haven't known her for more then a day and I tried to kiss her, and she wanted me to, but I got afraid and stopped, and now I'm giving myself a mental kick in the pants."
"Do you lie awake at night thinking about her?"
Sam looked up at him, opened mouth.
"I met her yesterday, I didn't really have...okay, so I did lose sleep thinking about her that night."
Dipper winced, he had been there.
"And how do you feel when you're around her?"
Sam didn't even have to think.
"A little awkward, self-conscious, and nervous. That's not the end of it though. I don't just feel bad, when I'm around her, it's like I'm flying, without my wings. I know that sounds super corny, but it's pretty accurate. I couldn't find a single thing about her I didn't like. She's very stubborn and independent, I like that in a girl. She also has a temper, and isn't afraid to try to beat someone up, I know most people think that's a flaw, but I like it in her, a lot."
Dipper gave him a pat on the back.
"You've got it bad. You met this girl less than 24 hours ago, and you're already in love."
"I know! You either need to help me or kill me, there is NO middle ground. And since you know I don't go down without a fight, the first one is you best choice."
This was joke and Dipper knew it, he laughed.
"I don't think you have to worry dude. I saw what happened, and she obviously wanted to kiss you as you wanted to kiss her. If you see her again, I don't think you'll have to worry about a thing."
Sam perked up a little.
"I think you're right. Thanks Dipper."
Andri
Andri had gone to a spot in the forest where she could be alone. She was also giving herself a vicious mental beating.
You fool! You absolute, complete, bleeding fool! What's wrong with you? Mom warned you about this: "Don't give you're heart to a man you've just met." Those were the best words she could give you and you're ignoring them! You haven't known him for more than a day, you only tried to find out about him because you couldn't read his mind, and he enjoyed making you mad, and you tried to freaking KISS him! This is going to end in you getting hurt and you know it.
She was crying a little, she was normally very tough and cried less than a boy her age, but this Sam kid had done something to her.
"Hello Andriana."
She looked behind her and Azazel was standing there.
"Leave me alone 'Goat Lord!'"
"I don't think I will. You're a tough girl, so this has to be good if it's got YOU crying."
"GET AWAY FROM ME YOU JERK!"
A sphere of orange energy formed in her hand and she threw it him. Azazel swatted it aside like an oversized fly.
"Now don't be like that, come on, tell me what happened. Maybe I can help."
Against her better judgement she told him everything.
"You poor, poor girl. How do you feel when you're around him?"
"I don't know how to describe it. It's kinda like a cold fire is inside me, giving me peace and making me happy, and I want to feed it. Does that make any sense?"
"No, but I get it. I think I can help."
"How? And what do you want for it?"
Azazel chuckled.
"He he, smart girl. My pet's getting hungry, and it needs memories that can last it awhile."
"And what do you want to do, let it eat people's memories?"
"No, just one persons memories. You see Andri, if it's not fed soon, it will ignore me and try to gorge itself. If it does that, it will not only eat the memories of all the people it encounters, it will devour their souls. They'll be gone forever if it does that."
Azazel was lying a little in the last part. The souls wouldn't be gone forever, because heaven had a back up plan for the rare circumstances that a soul could die. The only reason Azazel didn't want this was because if a soul was destroyed, then he might as well have declared war on all of heaven, because there would be an army of angels there to punish him for it.
"What did you mean by only one?"
He got a a wicked grin on his face.
"I happen to know of a fairy in gravity falls that would provide all the sustenance it needed for a long while. You know her as Trixie."
A Few Days Later
At the Mystery Shack the days shift was nearly done. Dipper was just finishing up dusting, Trixie manned the cash register, and Mabel took care of the trash. It was at this time that Andri came in, and Dipper was the first to notice her.
"Hey Andri. What how are you?"
"I'm good, thanks for asking."
She wasn't actually feeling good. Azazel had told her his plan, and she didn't want to help him, but it needed to be done. He had her wait until today and until they had finished work. For some reason, he had specifically wanted for Sam not to be involved.
"What are you doing here?"
"I talked to Sam and he and me were going to hang out, we also wanted you guys to come with us."
She was lying of course. Sam and her hadn't seen each other since that incident. Dipper scratched his head.
"Normally Sam would tell us about this. Where is he?"
"He was going to meet me at there. Are you three coming?"
Dipper looked at the others, and they didn't see why not. They left the Mystery Shack with her. Dipper felt like something wasn't right, it was just the way Andri was acting, he didn't know her that well, but she looked guilty. Mabel and Trixie weren't concerned about this though, Trixie was mainly thinking about ways she could mess with Sams feelings for this girl, and a mischievous grin was plastered on her face.
"Here we are."
Andriana had brought them to a spot in the woods that wasn't very far from the Shack. The three of them looked for Sam but didn't see him. They did however see a 13 year old wearing a black leather jacket with a hood attached to the caller.
"Thank you Andri."
This boy gave off a sense of danger that made the three of them take a step back, but they were blocked by Andri.
"Who is that?"
He suddenly appeared next to Dipper.
"I go by Azazel, and I'm a devil."
He manifested his black wings, and when they saw that, they tried putting a little more distance between him and them, but they were stopped by Andri who also had manifested her wings.
"I'm sorry guys, you don't have to worry, he won't hurt you unless-"
"Unless you fight back. Feel free to do just that. I like kicking the butt of arrogant lesser creatures like the mud-monkeys."*He sneered at Dipper and Mabel*"But the fairy would be much more fun."
He pointed his finger at Trixie.
"Bring it on girl! Because I'm about to kidnap you and your friends."
There was an instant flash of bright blue light from Trixie, which had no effect on Azazel. He took a few steps back, arms spread wide as if to beckon her. This jerk somehow knew she was a fairy, threatened her and her friends, and was just plain mean. Trixie let her dragonfly wings out and blue energy crackled around her hands. She fired her magic right at the devil, a stream of blue energy. Azazel charged it, his eyes glowing yellow, he powered through her attack like it was nothing, and came down on top of her, knocking the wind out of Trixies chest.
It was around this time that Sams(Who was sitting comfortably on his bed, for those who are interested) angel sense began going nuts. It was kinda a warning system that lets him know when his friends were in danger. When it goes off he could teleport to wherever his friends where, and that is what he did. He appeared out of sight from them, but he arrived in time to see Trixie tied up, and a boy with black wings dragging her towards Dipper and Mabel. He might have jumped in right there, but he saw Andri with her own black wings out, and fell on his butt. He got up after that and hid, to eavesdrop on them, he heard Dipper speak first.
"What do you want with us?"
"Azazel has a mutated imp that feeds on memories, and if it doesn't eat soon, it will go out ignoring him, and consume not only the memories of people, it will eat their souls. So he needs your fairy friend Trixie to feed it, with how far her memories go back, it will take care of it for a long time."
Azazel spoke to him now.
"You don't have to worry about your memories though, it will only consume the outer essence of them. You'll still remember everything, but you'll be a little weak afterwords. It's not painful... or maybe it is, I'm actually excited to find out."
Dipper felt his stomach turn.
"If there's no memory loss, and we should be fine, why are you forcing us to do it? Why not ask, we'd be glad to stop a soul eating monster."
Azazel smiled wickedly.
"Because I didn't think you'd want to help me make my weapon against the Hosts of Heaven."
Andri whipped herself around to face him.
"What?!"
"Andri, the angels would wipe us out if they got the chance, that's why I'm doing this. I will feed it until it becomes stronger, and once it's consumed all of humanities memories, I'll set it out, and it shall devour the souls of all the Host, excluding the ones that join the cause."
Andri was mad that he had tricked her, but she wasn't as mad as Sam. The angels didn't like the choices some of their kind had made, and some certainly wanted to smite demons more than others, but they weren't allowed to. The Eternal Dad had stopped them, in the hopes that the fallen may find their light again. Fallen angels couldn't truly rejoin the Host until the one who led the great rebellion either was destroyed or repents. He wasn't sure how he knew it, but it was there, in his head as clear as most of his memories.
"Azazel!"
She was furious that this jerk had tricked her, she was afraid of angels because of what he had told her about them(most was exaggerated) but she wasn't a bad person, and she didn't want this.
"Hey, your welcome to try to stop me if you have a problem with it, but we both know you can't."
He then disappeared with Dipper, Mabel, and Trixie. She was torn, she certainly couldn't take on him and she wondered if it was for the best, if it would really protect them from the angels. It was this time that Sam chose to act, he manifested his wings and made himself know.
"Andri!"
When the incarnated demonness turned around, her jaw dropped. Sam stood less than 30 feet away with is wings out. She was terrified, but something else was going through her mind when she was his wings, That is so HOT! She would have been ashamed of herself for thinking that, but it was true. Sam took a step forward, about to ask where he took his friends, but she formed a sphere of orange light and sent it at Sam.
"WOW!"
Sams right eye glowed and a shield of blue light protected him. He felt the ground and his shield shake when the sphere exploded in orange light. Sams eyes glowed and a fallen log was lifted up and thrown at Andri, he then moved while she was occupied, jumping in the air and letting loose a single flap from his wings he quickly sailed towards her. His right eye glowed blue again and he sent a jet of fire at her, being very careful to miss. She ducked way from the flames, but before he was on top of her, she pushed with her mind, sending him in a different direction. Her eyes glowed orange and plants around her became alive with movement and grew rapidly. She brought them up as Sam came at her again and the plants lashed out, attempting to grab him. Sams left eye glowed green and raised his hands and a spray of ice froze the flora that had been coming at him, and he came down quickly grabbing Andri. She shut her eyes tight and expected the worse happen, but it never came.
"Andri..."
She let the world in and looked right into Sams shinny mismatched eyes.
"...Please, tell me where he took them."
She was in a trance for a moment, then she spilled her guts to him.
"Are you going to destroy me?"
"No I'm not."
"Why?"
"Because obviously don't deserve it. I'm going to try getting my friends back, will you help me?"
She was silent for a few seconds, then nodded her head.
With The Others
Azazel had taken them to a warehouse. He set Dipper and Mabel down in the middle, but placed Trixie in a circle with iron bars surrounding it, and a symbol brawn onto the floor of it.
"My pet's on its way, I wont keep you long. I sent it out to devour the memories of the people of gravity falls, it should have gotten done with that about now, and be on its way."
Trrixie stood up and tried to blast her way out of her prison, bur her magic wouldn't work and Azazel saw her struggling.
"Sorry, where are my manners, I should have explained to my guests. The symbol on the floor of your cell stops you from using magic."
"There's no such thing that can do this."
Azazel chuckled.
"I know you fairies as a rule are rather full of yourselves, but there most certainly is such a 'thing' that can do that. The geometric shape of that design makes bends in a universal energy field, in such a way that it generates a subtle energy difference that effects your powers, causing them to become docile. That's not the only way I could suppress your power. I could simply constraint and force it to be latent, but I have better things to focus on than a fairy that was foolish enough to think she could take on a fallen archangel."
All of their eyes widened when he said "archangel" Sam had told them about the few archangels, and they were suppose to be the most powerful beings created. He had specifically said that in their true form, an archangel is several times bigger than the planet. They had to have power like that if they were to keep billions of angels in check and watch over the multiverse. Trixie had always thought that fairies were the strong ones, but after Sam explained that there were billions of angels, and a entire army of his kind(The powers, aka: The Warrior Angels) ready to go into action if the need arises, she had to admit, angels took the cake.
"Ah, here it is."
None of them could see the gigantic mass of black smoke coming towards them, other than Azazel. It was now ten times bigger than it was after Azazel fed it the coin, he almost wished they could see how impressive it was. Before he let it feast upon their memories, he had one last thing to tell them.
"I want you to know that your angel friend is responsible for giving me this weapon. When he trapped the imps in ice, trying to destroy them, their energy didn't dissipate, it condensed into something knew, and this mutated imp is the key to my victory. Now you may feast, my pet."
A tendril came from the creature, and began with Dipper and Mabel. Little flecks of gold light traveled from them into the monster, these were what it was after, the memories given form outside the soul. There was a lot of light traveling from them, because living things have more memory than inanimate objects. The process didn't hurt, but it zapped their energy and was incredibly invasive. After it finished with the twins, it swelled a little.
"Your turn fairy."
The mutated imp sent the tendril to Trixie, and began to feed, and as it began, outside Sam and Andri prepared themselves for going in there.
"I keep him distracted, and you free my friends, and we hope for a miracle."
Andri wasn't very reassured, but she was going to go in there no matter what.
"I know, lets do this."
Sam took a deep breath and literally flew through the door, going up to the ceiling and sent a fireball at his enemy. Their plan certainly got his attention. Azazel narrowly avoided getting torched, and fired a beam of yellow light at the angel who had attacked him. While Sam had him occupied, Andri went for the circle of iron bars that surrounded Trixie and began getting her out. The abomination had finished feeding on her, and had doubled in size.
"You."
Trixie said this weakly, she was very mad, but she barley could stand.
"I'm so sorry for helping him, but Sam's keeping him busy so I can get you out of here."
She put Trixies arm around her to give her support and went to get Dipper and Mabel. Sam had gone full on Wrathful Angel, but even in this state he didn't have more power than Azazel, their strength was about matched, fortunately Sam had much more ferocity, and was gaining a advantage while he berserked.
"Thank you."
Dipper and Mabel were feeling weak just like Trixie, but they still thanked Andri for coming.
"Please don't thank me. I'm the whole reason you're in this mess."
She brought them outside, and was about to go in and help Sam, when she heard Azazel roaring in rage with his natural, thunderous voice. There was a flash of fiery yellow light, and a glowing Sam came smashing through the walls in the explosion. He landed very close to his friends, and crawled out of a crater, his body appeared to be made out of glowing polished metal, but it turned back to normal when he stood up.
"What happened?"
Sam looked at them.
"Azazel's got some Wrath too."
From out of the remains of the warehouse, Azazel emerged, his body appeared to be made out of polished black metal, and his eyes burnt bright yellow. He returned to as he was before that and pointed at Sam.
"Attack!"
The giant creature that looked like it was made of black smoke went for Sam. Azazel disappeared after he set his pet on Sam.
"SAM!"
All of them called out to the Power as the abomination surrounded him and carried him into the sky. Only Andri could see the creature wrapping around Sam, and trying to eat his memories, but the others could see him struggling against it. Sam was exerting all his Grace (The source of an angels power) that he had access to, resisting the monster. None of the others knew what to do, they stood below filled with fear for their friend, until they heard him speak.
"I watched over the cities built in the time before man or fairy."
As the creature that surrounded him tried to eat his memories, it had warn through the wards that hid them from Sam, so knowledge of who he was before his incarnation began filling him up, and he couldn't stop himself from saying them.
"I swam back on the currents of time, farther than any before me had. I saw the first fairy, whom my father created from plasma, and gave the gift of magic. I held her in my hands when she came to be, I watched over her, defended her, and helped teach her how to fly. I saw my father create the flawed creature in his image, and proclaim them above fairies or angels, and order us to bow to them. I saw my big brother become possessed by hatred for those creatures, who were bacteria compared to him. I saw him corrupt the whole world, and a third of heaven fall to his causes. I watched as the cities once great now abandoned, the birds fled from the sky, and heaven lost its light as my big brother led his army into heaven!"
Sam clenched his eyes shut as he fought back tears as this memory boiled in him. He spoke again, as if he was talking to someone.
"Oh ministering Power, how you have fallen! You, who were perfect in every way, until profanity was found in your heart! For you looked down upon man and said in your heart, that you shall be the one who rules over the multiverse, not these flawed creatures, and that you shall see them all die! And you looked up to the throne of our father, and said in your heart, that you shall be the one to sit upon that throne if he were to name those creature above you!"
Sam opened his eyes, and another powerful memory played.
"I saw my father order all in heaven to stand down and let his first born come. And I saw seven angels from the second lowest rank, disobey his orders. They stood before the Morning Star and his army, even though their power and numbers were nothing compared to his, they would rather die than not try to fight for our father. Our Eternal Dad ordered them to stand down, and they told him "No." And he laughed, and said to them, that if they loved him so much, that they would rather die then not try to stand against those who had come to hate him, then he shall not let them die. He raised them above the other angels, and they become the seven archangels of the throne, and together, those seven drove the Traitor and his forces out of heaven."
Sam was crying again, but this time with joy.
"I saw because of that rebellion of those seven angels, light restored to heaven, they birds returned to the sky's, and the cities that the my big brother built and corrupt were crushed beneath God's anger. I then looked down upon humanity, who WERE little more than bacteria compared to the Morning Star, and I fell in love with them, realizing that they WERE better than demons, fairies, or angels, and I swore I would serve them not just because my father ordered it, but because they deserved it. And recently, I've had the good fortune to live as a human, I become friends with a human being who was amazing, became a big brother to a fairy, and I even fell in love."
His friends had listened to him in wonder, but he was coming to the end of his speech.
"I am now Samuel Scott Sanctuary, and I am billions of years old! So if you want memories big boy, then take them, take them ALL!"
He didn't resist the creature anymore, he let it in. A glorious beam of golden light came from Sam and entered the mutated imp, overwhelming it in an instant. The black smoke came together in a tight sphere, and exploded outwards, the creature hadn't even made it past the first 20000 years before it burst. When it was gone, a glowing Sam levitated in the sky, as if he was a morning star, than he fell, like a comet falling to earth.
All his friends ran to to his body, and they saw him lying motionless, a imprint of his wings had been seared into the ground beneath him. They immediately examined him.
"Yikes! He's burning up."
They picked him up, Trixie conjured ice and placed it on Sams forehead.
Later
They'd taken him to the Mystery Shack, which was the nearest and safest place for him. They had spread him out on a bed and Trixie kept putting ice on his head until he seemed to have cooled down enough. After they made sure Sam was stable, Andri apologized to all of them for helping that maniac capture them, and considering she helped save them and possibly the world, they forgave her, though they might never trust her 100 percent after that. An hour or so later Dipper and Mabel had gone downstairs, and Trixie watched Andriana sit in a chair by Sam, she was obviously blaming herself for this. While she examined the unconscious angel and the demonness, she could help but think back to what she saw between them them a few days before.
"Well isn't this a Gravity Falls style of Romeo and Juliet?"
Andri looked at her.
"What do you mean?"
"You're a demon, and Sammy's an angel. Bitter irony if you ask me."
Andri didn't quite get what Trixie was implying.
"What are you..." *Starts to get it*"Shut up!"
She started blushing terribly from a mixture was embarrassment and fury.
"I just practically fed you to an abomination! Soooo sorry again. I was lucky he didn't smite me after that! We aren't going to date, if that's what you're thinking!"
She was a very stubborn, independent, and fiery tempered girl, and Sam liked that about her. He began to stir as Andri continued.
"I couldn't just forgive someone who did something like that to my best friends, and someone who's like a sibling to me.
Trixie rolled her eyes.
"Oh sure, keep telling yourself that. That's what I do EVERY day. No matter how much you do, it's not going to change how you feel."*Sighs*"Believe me, it's a harsh truth."
Sam finally got up and started talking. Though he still remembered more of his previous angelic life than before this, the wards that restricted his memories had rebuilt themselves, and he now did have access to billions of years of memory.
"What'd I miss when that thing blew up? Oh..."*Looks at Andri*"and you should try to forgive someone even after they do something like that, it might be good for you."
"...How much did you hear?"
Sam got on his wolfish grin.
"Enough."
"Oh...Alright."
Andri thinks to herself, then says.
"First off, I'm so sorry for what I caused. Secondly..."
She leans in and kisses Sam right on the lips.
"And third, the second thing never happened. I'll see you around, goodbye for now."
She left in a hurry, and Sam stood there like a idiot for a moment, then sat down.
"I'm just going to sit here, deeply confused by my emotions."
Trixie sat down next to him.
"I'm guessing you heard what I said too?"
"Yep."
"You're a really lucky dude. You know that?"
"I do, I really do know that?"
"Now if only it was that simple for me. Sometimes I hate being a fairy."
Sam's big brother instincts started kicking in.
"Trixie, I'm going to tell you something very important. I don't just try to set you and Dipper up because I find it amusing. Don't get me wrong, I loooove doing it. I know that if you two were together, even if it was just for a little bit, you'd both be better for it. I never do something if it's just mean, I do it because if you did, it will help you overcome your inhibitions, and be better people for it, even if it wouldn't last. Or maybe it would, nothing's impossible. I've seen the inhibitions in you both tear you apart, if you just tried, you'd be a lot more confident, and probably scare all the fairies that used to make fun of you, but not in a bad way. Dipper would also be more confident, and get some experience with girls, Dad knows he needs it. You must savor the things placed before you, I remember this being a very important lesson for me. I just found out that I'm older than the fairies as a race, and probably never going to die. And as an immortal, I needed to understand that you have yo enjoy what our Eternal Dad has given us, or I'd spend eternity miserable."
There was a long silence from Trixie, then she hugged Sam tightly. Sam smiled a little.
"Love you to, little sister."
He returned her hug, and they stayed like that for awhile.
"Hey Sammy?"
"Yeah?"
"Promise you'll always be here, even when everyone's gone. I don't want to be alone anymore."
"I promise. And even if a day comes when this body can't hold my soul anymore, I'll come back and make a knew physical form, even if I have to break a few rules to do it."
Trixie chuckled, and they stayed like that until Dipper and Mabel came in.
"Sam! Are you alright?"
"I'm fine thank you for asking."
"Andri told us you were awake when she left, did we miss anything?"
"Sammy made-out with her!"
Trixie was looking for ways to have some fun with those emotions.
"We didn't make-out, she just gave me a kiss goodbye."*He gets a dumb grin on his face*"It was nice."
Elsewhere
Azazel celebrated, his plan had worked perfectly! He had never intended for the creature to become his weapon, but he had wanted the angel to overload it.
"You handsome, clever, devil! You made them think this was their victory, but it's yours."
He was in a room with various drawings of symbols on the walls, floor, and ceilings. The biggest one was a pentagram right in the center. The geometric shape of the symbols bent a universal energy field in a way to would cause all the energy from his destroyed 'pet' to be drawn here. That's what he had planned for, it might take a few days for all the energy to build up, but once it had he could use it for the spell he had devised. That spell would break apart the wards that kept him in this physical human body, and he'd free. He'd have his full power back.
A/N: Sorry this took so long, but it was a long chapter and I had a little writers block in the middle. At the beginning I actually considered making this its own story. Hope you enjoyed it, please review.
