Hi guys! A new chapter. First off, thanks for all the reviews and favs, follows etc. it really makes me want to keep writing. Sorry I haven't updated in a while, the last few days of my holiday was hectic and I only got back to the UK a day or so ago. As I flew on an overnight flight, I was tired as! Also, again so much writers block. It's like this story gets harder and harder to write! Oh well.

Chapter 11- The deal

January 1st 2014

Me and Mabel are still having a snow war. I wonder where Bill is… He's been gone for at least 10 minutes. Mabel nails me in the glasses with a snowball. "Owww," I groan. Being hit in the glasses is one of the worst things, they push into your nose and it's hard to see. I rub my eyes and take my glasses off. "Oh sorry! Are you ok?" Mabel asks running over to me. I nod and put my glasses back on. "See, it's fine. You should probably be going back to Dipper. He'll freak if you take much longer," I remind her. She frowns and sighs, "I don't really want to. He's so… controlling now. Not like when we first came here… Now there's monsters, and Gideon, Bill, Pacifica, all these things to deal with. I just feel so trapped." I see Mabel in a new light now. She's become a bigger person over the last few years, a better person. I hug my friend right there and then.

Bill Cipher P.O.V

Who summoned me this time then? I look down and see a man I used to know, a man I thought had been dead for years, a man I knew had been dead for years. "You have a job for me?" My voice sounds as shocked as I am. He laughs. "Yes I do Cipher. Don't worry I'm not a ghost, or a figment of your imagination," he assures me. I raise an eyebrow at him. "What could you possibly need of me, almighty god of gravity falls?" I reply. "I'm not almighty! I am not a god," the man says. "You died twenty five years ago," I remind him. He smiles, "Actually I survived, faked my death so even you wouldn't know." My jaw drops, "How? Holy hologram how?" He laughs. "You should know better than anyone Bill, I can do lots of things. Now, onto more pressing matters. I summoned you because you are going against-" "- the order that you, the supposedly not a god, set. You told me you left us to our own devices years ago. Can I not make at least one friend?! Am I doomed to your 'order' for eternity! Cursed to kill all those I love and be driven to insanity in this madness!" I yell, turning red. "Bill it isn't like that. It's just that it will cause problems. The order-" "- I've had enough of your stupid order! Why do you have a vendetta against me! What did I ever do to you? Let me guess, I was born. Well I've had enough. I finally have a friend and one generation of Pines is finally starting to trust me. I'm not stopping seeing them. I'm not leaving Gravity Falls," I state. He grabs my wrist and turns me so I have to face him. "You listen here. You are going to listen to me because like it or not I own this town. And I can banish you with a click of my fingers. That wasn't even the main reason I summoned you William Cipher. I summoned you because I need to make a deal with you," he snarls. "I won't help you old man," I retort. He twists my wrist. "You must help me. Or Gravity Falls will die," he says softly.

Dipper P.O.V

Robbie. Why can't he leave Wendy alone? "She's not into you man!" I say. "Fine. You know what whatever!" Robbie growls. Robbie holds me up by my shirt and hangs me on a tree by my hood. "Hey! No fair! Get me down from here," I yell as they leave. Sighing I slip my arms out of my body warmer and try not to land funny as I hit the ground. "Stupid Robbie," I mutter brushing myself off. I get my jacket off of the tree branch and walk away muttering curses under my breath.

Mystery Guy (as in the one with Bill) P.O.V

I hold Cipher's wrist so he has to look at me. "Gravity Falls will die…" He repeats slowly, turning yellow. I let go of his wrist as he sits down, in the air, with his head in his hands. "Gravity Falls will die… Gravity Falls will die!" He repeats again. "Yes William, Gravity Falls will die if you don't make this deal with me," I say truthfully. He looks up at me, with tears in the corner of his eye. "So I have to make the deal with you," William half cries. I nod. "It's ok Bill. It's not a hard deal," I say. "What's the deal?" Bill asks as a tear rolls down his cheek. "I need all three journals. The original copies," I answer. "What do I get out of it?" He questions, the tears drying up. "I'll let you stay in Gravity Falls and you'll be free of me. How does that sound?" I smile. Cipher is really like a small child. You have to be gentle when you break the news to him. "Deal," he murmurs, his hand lighting on blue fire. I shake his hand and the fire goes out. "Good luck," I say and disappear.

Bill Cipher P.O.V

"Good luck." Good luck?! Good luck?! My town is going to die if I don't do this deal! I'll be the only one able to escape. Damn that old man. He's ruined my life from the get go… I hate him. I hate him more than crème puff multiplied by how long the cosmos has lived for. How am I going to do this? If I do this I'd have to get 3 off Scorch mark, and 1 and 2 off Stanford. That'd mean betraying the first friend I've had in about 200 years. You have to save the town. Otherwise your friends won't have long left, the voice says. Ok so it's right but… it's hard. I don't like betraying people. As crazy and evil as I am, betraying my friends is not something I enjoy, believe it or not. I sit down and ponder what I can do and how I'm going to do it.

Mabel P.O.V

Olivia hugs me. "If I'm truthful too, I've felt so confused and conflicted ever since my parents disappeared. Having you guys as friends has really helped me…" She says. "Having you as a friend has really helped me too. If I'm honest… I use my randomness and stuff as a wall… the things Pacifica says really gets to me… And Dipper's so possessive sometimes… it doesn't help," I sigh. She hugs me and I hug her back. "We cool?" She asks. "So cool," I smile. We do our secret handshake and say goodbye.

So Bill got into some trouble with a Mystery man. I'd like to know who you guys think he is. Again, sorry for not updating sooner, I've had a lot to do. See you guy in the next chapter! Remember to R&R and tell me who you think the Mystery man is in your review. If any of you guess right I will give you so many props and points.

Bill Cipher- Gravity Falls…

Me- calm down Bill it's my story, it isn't going to happen, probably.

Bill Cipher- if it happens I will hunt you down and kill you. Till then I'll be watching you! *he disappears*

Me- because that isn't creepy at all… AroraEarthIcefire out! See you in the next chapter which is hopefully soon! Please leave writers block!
