From Shadougelover14: "OK, I literally just spent the last two hours reading these and I love them! Stan's Tattoo is my favorite short, and reading from Stan's perspective is hilarious! You capture the characters perfectly in a way that's kinda suspicious...are you and Alex in contact or something? Anyway...I'm sure you get a lot of requests, but I'll throw one in too; I've yet to see one about Robbie, so how about it? Maybe he could have a nightmare encounter with a certain demon...? ;-) They've yet to interact in show so it'd be interesting to see how Robbie deals with a guy like Bill and whatever mind screwage he cooks up."

Haha, no, I'm not in contact with Alex. Funny, this is probably the fourth message I've gotten asking this. But yeah, I don't know him personally and we've definitely never spoken.

As for your request, sure! How about something different from NWHS for a while? The one-shot will take place right after Gideon Rises, but before everyone wakes up the next day in Scaryoke, if that makes any sense.

Playing Dolls

Robbie didn't believe in the supernatural. At least, he didn't until those Pines twins showed up. Now there were ghosts and crazy video game warriors trying to kill him and all he knew was that he definitely hated them. Also Dipper had ruined any chance he had with Wendy now.

His heart ached just thinking about it. He'd really liked her too.

He shut his eyes and rolled over in bed. He needed to sleep but it was difficult when he felt so miserable. It reminded him of when he had first hit puberty.

The teen shuddered. That was a dark few months for the Valentino household.

Something weird and tingly seemed to sweep over the teenager, and he frowned before yawning. Sleep was finally arriving, so it appeared.

Not seconds after he fell asleep, though, there was a loud cackle and he shot up in bed. Robbie yelped as he was blinded momentarily by a yellow glow.

"Ha! You meatsacks are so funny!"

"What?" Robbie squinted as it died down and his eyes grew wide. There was a floating triangle with one eye, wearing a top hat and bowtie, in his bedroom.

This was all the Pines kids' fault.

"What are you supposed to be?"

The triangle actually snorted (where was its mouth...?) at the inquiry. "Yeesh, I'm a dream demon, Bleeding Heart. The name's Bill Cipher. It's funny how dumb you are, ha!"

Robbie forced himself not to react to that last comment. This thing seemed a bit dangerous, despite its rather comical appearance.

"Wait, what did you call me?"

Bill floated down and poked the black jacket he still wore, the heart on it glowing blue before fading back to normal. "It's just a nickname, kid. So! I couldn't help but notice you were moping about, am I right?"

He scowled despite his inner voice hissing at him to not provoke the demon. "I wasn't moping! I was thinking and trying to sleep!" He looked around and frowned further as he realized everything was in grayscale. The only colors were him and the triangle. Was he dreaming this whole thing?

"Yep, and now you are! Welcome to the dreamscape, Bleeding Heart. Get it? Dream demon, dreamscape..."

Robbie groaned and put his head in his hands. "This is stupid."

Another cackle from the triangle demon as it floated a bit away.

"So, I've been thinking, kid... I want something from you and I can give you something good in return. But we only have a limited amount of time, so let's get to it!"

"What do you want from me?" Robbie asked nervously.

Bill would probably be smiling if he could. "Just some questions! That's all! You answer my questions and I give you some advice! Deal?"

"Why would I want advice from you?"

Something dark and cold entered the demon's tone. "Because you'll need it."

Robbie swallowed hard as the demon stared at him. It was just some questions, right? Besides, this guy probably would burn him alive or something if he said no. He'd already ticked off a lot of magical beings lately. He didn't need another enemy.

"Deal."

They shook hands and blue fire encircled their wrists. Robbie yanked away with a yelp as the triangle chuckled.

"Now here's your advice, kid: watch out for the red robes." His eye turned scarlet as he spoke before changing back moments later. The teen scooted back a little in his bed. What was that even supposed to mean?

"As for my questions... let's start with something simple. Tell me everything you know about the Pines twins..."

Bill is a creep=confirmed.
