Chapter 8

When he opened his eye the world was black and white. Bill looked around and spotted Gideon. How the heck did that kid get in Otherwor- oh gosh. Oh my gosh. He would be smiling if he could. "Oh, oh, Gravity Falls! It is good to be back." He exclaimed. He regained his composure and decided to play a trick on the little jerk. "Name's Bill Cipher, and I take it you're some kind of living ventriloquist dummy?" He laughs. "I'm just kidding, I know who you are, Gideon!" Ohanzee saw him in the shadows and grinned and got some popcorn. Gideon's eyes widened. "Wh-what are you?! H-How do you know my name?!" he cried, stepping back. "Oh, I know lots of things!" He slowed his voice. "LOTS OF THINGS..." His body flickered quickly between cryptic pictures, then suddenly stopped.

"Hey, look what I can do!" He used telepathy to pull the teeth out of a nearby deer's mouth, and dropped them in the kid's hands. "Deer teeth! For you, kid!" He laughed. This was going better than he'd hoped. Gideon screamed like a little girl. He dropped the teeth. "You-you're insane!" he exclaimed, terrified. Ohanzee was laughing and started choking on his popcorn. "Sure I am kid, what's your point?" Bill replied with another laugh. He put the teeth back inside the deer's mouth and watched it run away. He growled, frustrated. "Listen to me, demon! I have a job for you. I need you to enter the mind of Stanford Pines and steal the code to his safe." he said. Bill stopped laughing and thought about it for a bit. "Wait... Stan Pines?" He muttered. Images of Stan from his 'stalk session' flashed across his body. "You know what, kid? You've convinced me! I'm sold! I'll help you with this and in return you can help me with something I've been working on! We'll work out the details later." He reached out a hand alight with blue fire.

"Deal!" he exclaimed, shaking his hand. "Well, time to invade Stan's mind! This should be fun!" Bill exclaimed. "Remember: reality is an illusion, the universe is a hologram, buy gold, bye!" He disappeared, his voice echoing through the woods, and color came back into existence. "It worked!" Gideon exclaimed and started laughing maniacally. Back at the mystery shack Pinetree was sweeping the carpet in the living room while old grumpy jerk man (still a work in progress) slept in his chair. "Oh, I'm so sorry." the old man mumbled in his sleep. "What is going on in that guy's head?" Pinetree asked out loud and started to walk off when shooting star and question mark ran in. "Dipper! We've gotta help Stan!" shooting star exclaimed. Pinetree or Dipper turned to them. "Wait, what?" "This evil triangle guy said he's gonna break into Stan's mind and steal the combination to his safe! Also we stopped for snacks on the way here."

question mark explained while eating nyums brand burrito bites. "Triangle guy?" Dipper asked and pulled out journal 3. "I feel like I've seen something like this before in the journal... "Beware Bill, the most powerful and dangerous creature I've ever encountered. Whatever you do, never let him enter your mind."" he read. Stan grunted in his sleep. Dipper, Shooting star and question mark gasped. "Gruncle Stan!" Mable cried. Mystine was asleep on the floor. She yawned slightly. "What?" she muttered. Ohanzee watched with interest. Bill kinda regretted breaking into someone's mind at first, but the voice um... Reassured him. "These are the people that are replacing you!" it hissed. "You owe them nothing!" Mabel snatched the journal from Dipper and read aloud: "It is possible to follow the demon into a person's mind and prevent his chaos. One must simply recite this incantation." She looked at dipper. Mystine was now sitting up. "Whatever you're doing count me in."

Dipper nodded. "Prepare to enter the most terrifying and disturbing place we will ever go; our uncles mind." Soon the four were standing around Stan with the lights off, surrounded by a circle of candles. Dipper picks up his journal "Okay, guys, in order to save our uncle, we're gonna have to follow that... dream demon into his mind." He said. "I wonder what Stan's thinking about right now." soon said. He started using Stan as a ventriloquist dummy and spoke in a high voice, "I love Soos like a son!" "Soos! This is serious!" Dipper said. Soos still using Stan's mouth in a high voice, "Sorry!" Mabel and Soos started laughing. "Yeah!" They high fived each other. "Let's do this." Dipper said putting his hand on Stan's head. Mabel and Soos also put their hands on Stan's head. Dipper started reading from journal, "Videntus omnium. Magister mentium. Magnesium ad hominem. Magnum opus. Habeas corpus! Inceptus Nolanus overratus! Magister mentium! Magister mentium! MAGISTER MENTIUM!" As Dipper spoke, his eyes go blue, then Soos', then Mabel's and the candles go out, and after the incantation, there is a blue explosion and the gang is inside Stan's mind. Mabel and Soos exclaimed in awe. "What the?" Soos asked. "Whoa, this is Stan's mind?" Mable asked.

"I figured there would be more hot old ladies." He said. "Remember everyone, we've got to look out for the triangle guy." Mable said. "Yeah, look out for the triangle guy!" Said triangle guy added. "You leave our uncle's brain alone, you isosceles monster!" Mabel cried, pouncing on him. She is pulled inside of him for a few seconds then comes out his other side. "Gotcha! Wait, what?" Bill ignored her outburst "Ah, Stan's family, we meet at last!" He greets, not noticing Mystine "Question Mark, Shooting Star, Pine Tree, I had a hunch I might bump into you!" He shoots a hole in Dipper's chest. Dipper screamed and took deep breaths. Mable stuck her hand through Dipper. "Boop!" "Mabel! What do you want with our uncle's mind anyway?" He asked bill. Mystine looked at Dipper concerned. "Oh, just the code to the old man's safe! Inside the shack is a maze of a thousand doors representing your uncle's memories." Bill explained.

"Behind one of them is a memory of him inputting the code! I just need to find it and Gideon will pay me handsomely." "Not if we stop you!" Mable shouted. Mystine watched. She was standing beside the twins in a protective matter. Bill laughed "Hah, fat chance! I'm the master of the mind." He scoffed, surrounding himself in blue flames "I even know what you're thinking right now!" Mabel crossed her arms "That's impossible, no one can guess what I'm thinking!" She exclaimed. Bill made two neon-flashy-dramatic-sexy-cool-dudes appear. "Whoa, where are we, bro?" one asked.

"We must be in heaven, because I just saw an angel!" the other replied, pointing at Mabel. Mabel hugs Craz's leg. "I'm never letting go of your leg!" "You're out of your league, kids." Bill jeered. "Turn around now before you see something you might regret. Later, suckers!" He crashed through the wall of the mind-shack. "We're goin' in! Mabel, can we leave those guys out here, looking at them... hurts my eyes..." Dipper complained. "No! They can help us!" She reasoned. "Totally! Arm throne!" Xyler and Craz exclaimed. They carried Mabel in their arms. Mabel chuckled. "Dude! Arm throne!" Soos started walking after Dipper. "Arm throoone!" Dipper screamed and ran off.
