Chapter 10
Dipper walked around trying to find a way out. "Ugh! How do I get out of this place?" he asked, opening random doors. "Exit? Hello?" he opened the memory of him chopping wood. "Aw, this again?" "He's a loser. He's weak. I just wanna get rid of him..." Stan started again, as dipper started to shut the door. "Heh, yeah. Those are all things people said about me when I was a boy." Dipper stopped and reopened the door again. "Huh?" "Heh, yeah. Those are all things people said about me when I was a boy." Stan said. Dipper reopened the door. "Huh?" "It was terrible. I was the biggest wimp on the playground!" Stan exclaimed. A door of Stan's memory opened behind Dipper. It showed Stan as a kid getting bullied by other kids and running with tears. "So one summer, my pop signs up me for boxing lessons."
A door of Stan boxing opened. He was getting punched by his opponent. "It was even worse than the school yard!" "Left hook!" young Stan cried out as he punched his opponent. "Y'know, that time I thought my pop was trying to torture me." A door of Stan at the theater opened. "But wouldn't you know it? The old man was doin' me favor all along!" Man tried to steal Carla's bag. "Give me that bag!" "Help! My purse! Help!" Carla exclaimed. "Left hook!" teen Stan punched the man. The people all around Stan cheered for him. Carla gave him a kiss. "You see it? That why I'm hard on Dipper. To toughen him up. So when the world fights, he fights back." "Do you think it's actually working?" Soos asked. Stan pointed at Dipper. "I-I did it! Ha ha! Yes!" memory dipper exclaimed as he finally cut the wood in half.
"He's really comin' along! When push comes to shove, I'm actually proud of him. Just... don't ever tell him that. His head is big enough as it is." Stan said. "That's true." Soos replied, laughing. Dipper grinned and put his hand on the memory. Then he accidentally got into the memory, facing with Stan. "Whoa, kid, what are you doin' here? Nice hole in your chest, by the way. Let's fix that up." he pointed his finger and the hole in Dipper's chest regenerated. "Wh-what the- How did you do that?" Dipper asked. "Word to the wide, kid. We're in the mind! You can do whatever you imagine in here!" Stan created a Pitt Cola and drank it. "Well how about that." dipper muttered to himself.
Then fighting sounds and Soos', Mabel's scream is heard outside from the memory. "Oh my gosh, what am I doing? I gotta stop Bill!" He ran out of the memory. "Huh, fighting back." Stan muttered.
"One nightmare, coming up!" Bill laughed "Nightmare? Hope it's not that British dog man I'm always dreaming about..." Soos muttered. The British dog man appeared in front of Soos. "'Ello, 'Ello, 'Ello! Who's crike for a stick in the pudding?" The dogman said, poking Soos with his cane. "It's everything I've ever feared!" Soos screamed. "You!" Bill said, turning Mabel green and ugly, and her voice low and slow. Mabel screeched "My cuteness! What did you do to my cuteness?!" Bill laughed again. "You're next!" "Cool! We're next!" Crazy exclaimed. Craz and Xyler danced around and were incinerated by Bill. "My dream boys!" Mabel cried. "And now to finish you all once in for all!" "No! No!" Soos and Mable cried in fear. Mystine took a step back, realizing he hadn't noticed her or acknowledged her since they've shown up here and was about to try to fight him when dipper suddenly flew up there. "Hey Bill!" he called.
"WHAT?!" Bill cried. "Nice bow tie!" Dipper said, shooting a hole in Bill with eye-lasers. Bill screamed. "Guys! I just learned that you can conjure whatever you can conceive in Gruncle Stan's mindscape!" dipper informed the others "Huh?" Mabel said, confused. "Just think of cool fighting stuff and it will happen. Like this!" Dipper explained, shooting the dogman with his eye lasers. "Ha ha, he's dead now." Soos' laughed softly "What? Who told you that! Don't listen to him!" Bill exclaimed. Mabel "We can do anything?" Mabel exclaimed and turned normal as well as her voice. "Like have kittens for fists?" Her fists turned into kittens and she shot them at Bill. "Po-pow! P-p-pow! Pow!" The kitten fists stuck onto Bill. Bill watched multiple idiotic attacks and finally snapped. He closed the hole in his chest and shot a laser at them.
It bounced back and hit him in the eye. Mystine had been watching and finally stepped forward. "Enough!" She yelled. Dipper, Mabel and Soos looked surprised. She then looked at Bill. She felt as if she knew him but wasn't sure how. "Look. Why are we even fighting?" Bill, well, it was Grimm now, stared at her. He recognized her easily, he actually knew she was there the entire time, and felt the need to embrace her. But he didn't. He couldn't. "Have I seen you before?" She asked hesitantly. Bill shrugged. "How would I know, there are pictures of me everywhere." He huffed, slowly changing back to yellow. "You know, I've been impressed with you guys, even though you are stupid." he changed the subject. "So I'm gonna let you kids off the hook. You might come in handy later... Maybe." Mystine watched him. "Remember... I'll be watching you." He whispered and disappeared. His words echoed.
