Chapter 12
Ohanzee jerked awake and saw Bill's still unconscious body. "Bill! You have to wake up!" he shook him. Bill's eye snapped open. He sat still for a moment, then brushed Ohanzee's hands away and got up. "Are you alright?" He asked. Bill looked around slowly. "Yes." He answered, walking, well floating inside. "I feel better than I have in a long time..." Ohanzee watched him with uncertainty. "Alright then." he glanced over at the shadows he still had up to see what was going on at the shack. Bill stumbled around the castle for a while, touching things and knocking stuff over. Ohanzee watched him. "Are you sure you're alright? I know that going into your mindscape for the first time is really strange but it shouldn't affect you this much." He shrugged. "Just a bit dizzy." he replied.
"Now let's watch those meat sacs do things, shall we?" He looked at him then nodded. Bill floated beside Ohanzee and watched the pines family for a few more days. They somehow fought the doll-child and got the shack back, how amusing. Met the shapeshifter he had read about, somehow didn't die and got a laptop to boot. They had a couple more 'adventures' until the shooting star fell in love with some kind of girly, blond, book-loving puppeteer, and got herself so deep in crappy lies she had to plan a complicated play in a couple days. Mystine was helping the others make puppets for the show. Bill watched them and started thinking. The pinetree kept trying to guess the password to the laptop with little, then no help from his sister. This could all work... Ohanzee watched curiously.
Mystine was asleep downstairs after a while. Ever since Gideon had made that deal with him, Bill had felt something kind of like the pull that took him between worlds, but this time it was an open door. Ohanzee looked over at him. "You seem focused. Are you going to do something?" He asked. "Maaaybe." Bill replied in a sing-song voice. "How can I help?" He asked. Bill thought for a bit. "...find me the pine tree." he replied. He used the shadows to show dipper on the roof trying to get the laptop to let him in. Bill would've smiled if he could. Dipper sighed and typed in another password, and winced at the sound that followed. "Ugh, I can't take that sound anymore." He complained. Ohanzee watched. Dipper pounded on the computer. "I. Hate. You. Sound." He complained, with a yawn. "There has to be some shortcut or clue. Who would know about secret codes?" Bill suddenly disappeared, and Dipper passed out on top of the laptop.
The wind suddenly blows much harder, and an eye creeps its way around the moon. Bricks form around it to reveal Bill. The world fades to black and white. "I THINK I KNOW A GUY!" Bill said, laughing. "Well, well, well. You're awfully persistent, Pine Tree. Hats off to you!" He took his hat off, tilting the world sideways. Dipper started falling off the roof, holding the laptop. "AA! AAA! AAA! AAAAAAA!" Then it turned normal and he fell back on. He glared at Bill. "You again!" "Did'ja miss me? Admit it, you missed me." Bill replied. "Hardly. You worked with Gideon! You tried to destroy my uncle's mind!" dipper replied angrily. He clutched his laptop close while glaring at Bill. Bill shrugged. "It was just a job, kid! No hard feelings!" Bill replied nonchalantly. "I've been keeping a..." He became bigger and made his voice much lower. "...EYE ON YOU..." he changed back. "...since then, and I must say I'm impressed!"
"Really?" He asked. Bill nodded. "You deserve a prize! Here, have a head that's always screaming!" He answered. He clapped his hands and made a screaming head appear, laughing afterwards. He then snapped and the head disappeared layer by layer. "The point is I like you. How's about you let me give you a hint, huh? I only ask for a small..." he made his voice low again, and his hand and eye burst into blue flames. "...FAVOR..." His voice returns to normal. "...in return." Dipper growled slightly. "I'd never do a favor for you! Don't forget who defeated you last time!" Bill rolled his 'eye'. "Right, you "defeated me". Well if you ever change your mind." he said, pretending to grab Dipper's brain. "I'll be here for you, ready to make a deeaaall." three slots appear spinning on his chest. They stop at a pine tree symbol. "Hey, wanna hear my impression of you in about three seconds? AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Dipper jerked awake. "Ahh!" he screamed. Bill materialized in front of Ohanzee again. "How'd it go?" He asked. "Just wonderful..." Bill replied. "Good wonderful or sarcastic wonderful?" "Good." Bill answered, turning and walking into another room. Ohanzee watched him. "Okay then."
