Disclaimers: I do not own Gravity Falls

Author's Note's: Thanks for reading and please review.

(Back to Ford...)

How could he have let it come to this?

Stanford Pines allowed the tears to fall freely down his face, this wasn't supposed to happen.

'How can he save us if he's dead?'

Simple, he wasn't!

"My father was right." Michel who stood beside him suddenly spoke up. "He was doomed from the start."

Ford wanted to yell at his face, call him a liar; make him take back those words. But where was the point.

He looked to Mabel who was standing in the front row of chairs crying in her father's arms.

It had been two days since Dipper was announced dead, and finally the funeral had been put in order. Ford paid for everything with a good chunk of his college money that he still had left over. In all honesty he was surprised that John wanted his son to be buried here instead of California, but he supposed it made since, after all John and his wife wouldn't be returning home.

John said the murders were getting so bad over there that Dipper's mother no longer felt safe there so they decided to get a home closer to Stan and Ford the only family they had left.

Here in Gravity Falls!

If it hadn't been for Dipper's passing Mabel would have been thrilled by this decision, but sadly that was not to be so. This place no longer brought her joy, only sorrow.

Finally the Pastor stood to begin the ceremony. "Friends, family, Citizens of Gravity Falls…" he said. "This is a most trying time, when one is taken so quickly, at such a young age it is a hard pill to swallow. But swallow we must, Dipper Pines was a loving, and adventures boy who showed us the power of love for our family as well as our friends. If there is anyone who would like to speak on his behalf please come forward now."

Stan was the first of many to speak for Dipper, however his usual calm and cool attitude had evaporated leaving only sadness. "Dipper buddy I don't know what to say." He said honestly than after a long silence he said. "I'm going to miss you kid."

Ford walked up next. "Dipper my boy, you had such a bright future, it pains me to see you go so soon. I think of all the things I had yet to teach you. All those words left unspoken, and it tears me apart." He admitted, and then quietly he added. "I'll get you for this Bill." he wasn't sure how but he knew the dread dream demon was involved, he had to be. "I don't know how you did it, but you ruined our last hope and I will see that you pay." He swore before going back to his seat.

Several more people stepped up to the grave, and said a few words, but most of them just stood there and cried.

Finally it was Mabel's turn.

"It's okay sweetie." Her father said pushing her forward. "He doesn't blame you, it was an accident."

Her mother nodded. "He'd want to hear from you." Her mother agreed.

Mabel knew they were right, because that's just the kind of person Dipper was, Mabel took forever to forgive someone.

Dipper however, well…he could never stay mad at you for long.

Mabel gave them a nodded and waked over to her brother's grave with shaky legs. "Hi Dipper." She said tears still streaming down his face. "It's sunny out." She told him. "I know you wouldn't want it to rain." She felt stupid talking about the weather but Dipper always hated how it rained at funerals.

She knew he'd be happy to know that at least it didn't rain at his.

"Mom and Dad are moving us over here so now we never have to leave." She burst into tears as she realized she couldn't do this. She couldn't talk to Dipper like he was still here. Her mother believed that the spirits could still hear you even after they pass on to where ever it is they go.

Mabel however couldn't bring herself to believe it. "I'm sorry Dipper." She said before running off into the woods.

"I got her." Stan said before racing after her.

She didn't go very far, and moments later Stan found her sitting under a tree in sweater town. "Is there room for one more in there?" Stan asked.

"Oh Stan, Dipper must hate me now." She whispered peeking out from her sweater.

"No of course not!" Stan assured her, "He loved you, and he always will. No little fight will change that."

"How do you know?" She asked.

"Well it sure didn't change that for me and Ford." He told her. "Sure we were bitter for a while, but look at us now."

Mabel sniffled. "You really think so?"

Stan nodded.

Mabel sighed she was still hurting, but she felt a little better just knowing that he was probably right. Dipper would never hate her, he loved her, sacrificed everything for her; he was the best brother a sister could ask for. And if he were here right now he would not want her to cry, he would tell her to be happy, because she was living for both of them now.

"Thank you Grunkle Stan." She said.

Stan just smiled and embraced her. "I know it's going to take a while, but you'll see we will be happy again."

Mabel nodded her agreement and allowed Stan to lead her back to the others. They had finished covering the grave by the time they rejoined them.

"Oh Mabel sweetie come here." Her mother holds her arms out to her.

Mabel runs into them, and she holds her mother close. "At least we still have you." He mother whispered.

Mabel suddenly feels selfish, this whole time she was wrapped up in her own guilt when she should be here comforting her parents who had lost one of their only two children. "I'm here." Mabel assured them. " And I'm not going anywhere I promise."

(Back with Bill and Dipper sometime later…)

The day seemed to drag on forever, but finally the Pines Family and the town's people had left the cemetery, and now finally Bill could wake his little puppet up.

It was strange, Dipper knew he wasn't really dead, he wasn't even really asleep. No he could hear their every word, and feel their painful cries; but he couldn't speak or open his eyes.

"Wakey, wakey my little tree." A voice cooed out to him.

Dipper opened his eye and gasped for breath digging through the dirt, and towards the surface.

Bill laughed as Dipper's hand slowly reached out of the ground like a zombie rising from the dead. His head came next followed by the rest of his body. "Pine Tree how's it been?" the triangle laughed. "Man you are sure looking pretty good for a dead guy!"

Dipper rolled his eyes at his humor and got to his feet; brushing the dirt off his clothes, he then stomps on his grave to cover up the hole he had made while digging out. He then looks at Bill, breathing heavily.

Thunder rolls, as water begins to pour down hard around him, cleaning his clothes of the dirt, and mud.

There is a long silence between them… Finally Dipper spoke. "What now?"

Bill's eye turned into a wicked smile, he reaches out and runs his fingers through Dipper's hair. "We have one more thing to do before you revive me…" he tells him.

"And what's that?" Dipper asked trembling in the cold rain.

"I want to rub it in their faces that your mine." Bill said still stroking his fingers through the boy's hair. "In the mean time I'll leave you strict instructions to get my physical form ready for my resurrection."

Dipper shivered, and this time it wasn't due to the rain. His family was about to find out the truth about his betrayal. "I don't think I can do this." Dipper admitted.

"I know it's hard to go up against family my little Sapling." Bill said softly. "But don't worry I got the puppet strings, and all you need to do is follow where they lead you; okay?"

Dipper bit his lip, but nodded anyway: there was no since in fighting it. After all Bill was right Dipper had willingly shook his hand, and whether he liked or not he was just a puppet on strings now. He could no longer resist Bill's control so why waste time fighting it?

"That's my good boy." Bill mused still running his fingers through his hair.

Dipper bit his lip harder, he knew he should feel revolted by the demon's touch, those fingers were strangely soothing. "What do you want me to do?"

"Well you're replacing time Baby right?" Bill asked.

Dipper nodded. "I was but now…"

"Hold it right there kid, it's your birth right, you still have your powers; no betrayal takes that away." Bill told him.

Dipper's eyes widen. "What are you going to make me do?" he asked.

"Time Baby created the Barrier around Gravity Falls, and if my theory is correct now that you have your powers you should be able to take it down without the equation." Bill said.

"I…I …I Can't." Dipper stammered.

"Don't start this kid, you know she wasn't wrong you did do all those murders." Bill argued.

"No it was you!" Dipper screamed. "You and your pawn-"

"My Pawn?' he laughed. "Kid you are my pawn." Bill cut in.

"No your wrong I didn't-" Dipper fell on his knees in shock.

"Think about it kid, we still had a deal, One puppet, for-." Bill began, but dipper interrupted him.

"You Cheated me!" Dipper yelled. "I wanted the code!"

"True I never gave you the password to that beat up laptop, but me smashing it did force you to find another way. Which eventually lead you to good old Sixer." Bill went on. "And you never cut the deal off." Bill said. "You have to verbally say the deals off or the puppet strings are still there."

"But you lied I never got what I asked for!" Dipper argued.

"I didn't promise the code." Bill said. "I promise infinite knowledge, and I'm still willing to pay up." Bill assured him.

"Your lying it wasn't me, it couldn't have been me." But even as he said those words Dipper knew it wasn't a lie. He knew it was him, deep down he always knew it was him.

"That's right kid you know what you've done." Bill hissed. "There's already blood on your hands, what's a few drops more going to hurt?"

"But Mabel-" Dipper began.

"She hates you remember, you're a monster, and she will never love you again." Bill reminded him.

'You're a monster and I hate you!'

Dipper felt the hurt and the anger he had felt before with those words, and he allowed them to consume him.

"That's right Pine Tree." Bill said taking full control over Dipper's mind. "They don't love your any more, they're not your family anymore. I am!" Bill screamed. "And families do things for each other right?"

Dipper nodded.

"Good than you take down that barrier for me, and I'll make them pay for what they did, no what she did to you!"

Dipper bowed on one knee before him, and answered. "Yes master."

Bill chuckled darkly, The Big Dipper was his forever.

And nothing could stop him now!

Author's Note's: OH NO! Dipper's going to take down the barrier, and what horrors await Mable?
