A foolish artist narrated a tutorial, "Today, I will teach you how to draw Bill Cipher from the hit show Gravity Falls. First, you draw a triangle and try to make the corners slightly rounded. Second, you put a line through it to look like a triangle on top of a rhombus. Third, draw an oval for his eye inside the triangle part. Fourth, draw his arms off the sides where you put your line."

Bill interrupted, " I'll take it from here, thanks."

He snapped his fingers, and immediately, the drawing was finished.

"Bill," The foolish artist scolded, "I was trying to teach them how to draw you."

"There's no need for that," Bill said, "I'm probably the easiest Character to draw."

The foolish artist relented, "Fine."

"I'm just happy to be back," Bill said, then he laughed maniacally!

The foolish artist gasped, "Uh-oh!"

Bill then shrieked, "I'M BACK!"

"Wait," The artist begged, "before you unleash chaos, I'm not finished drawing."

Bill scoffed, "There's no need to do that."

Bill then found himself caught in the middle of his zodiac and unable to leave the page he was drawn on. He then sits to sulk for a while.

An artist narrated a new tutorial, "Today, I'll teach you how to draw the Beyonder. We'll start with his body, then his arms and legs, and last but not least, his head."

"Allow me to finish," The Beyonder insisted. With a snap of his fingers, he was fully drawn.

"Not again," The artist whined. The Beyonder then used his power to teleport away.

"Wait," the artist asked, "Where'd he-"

They spotted him at the page where Bill where was imprisoned. The center of his zodiac was covered with a Post-it note. The artist gasped.

"Oooh," The Beyonder said, grabbing the Post-it, "What's over here?"

"You don't want to mess with that," The artist begged, "There's a powerful villain you don't want to anger with there."

The Beyonder asked, "More powerful than me?"

The artist answered, "I'm not sure, but I wouldn't risk it."

The Beyonder violently tore the Post-it off the page, breaking the zodiac circle.

"Oops," The Beyonder said with a chuckle. Then, from the circle floated Bill Cypher.

Bill said, "At last!"

The Beyonder laughed, "This guy is a powerful villain?"

The artist immediately fled, leaving his camera behind. Bill was insulted.

"I'm going to make you eat those words," Bill said, turning red with just how angered he was, "And then I'm going to turn you inside out."

The Beyonder smirked, "You'll have to catch me first."

He created a portal and flew through it. Bill gave chase—the two of them were hopping through different biomes and realms. The Beyonder playfully egged Bill on, and Bill began to cool off from his initial anger but was still pretty annoyed at the Beyonder. Eventually, the Beyonder stopped floating when they came to a snowy forest. He made a snowball and hit Bill with it.

"Oh," Bill said, also coming to a stop, "so it's like that, is it?"

Bill formed a ball out of the snow and threw it at the Beyonder for a perfect hit on the chest. The Beyonder laughed, and the two engaged in a full-on snowball fight. Bill eventually stopped to look around.

Bill asked, "Is this your home Earth?"

The Beyonder replied, "Well, not my home, necessarily. But it's certainly where I like to hang out the most."

Bill said, "Neat!"

The Beyonder said, "If you'd like, I can give you the grand tour."

"I can already see everything," Bill explained.

"Sure, you can see it," The Beyonder said, "But have you ever experienced it?"

Bill admitted, "Not really."

The Beyonder said, "Well, follow me, and I'll help you!"

Bill said, "Okay!"

Bit by Bit, the Beyonder showed Bill the world he mainly operated in. Bill was on board for a while. Bill was experiencing life on earth for the first time in eons. He and the Beyonder became friends as Bill enjoyed simple pleasures like sitting on a blanket on a sunny day, smelling artificial lavender candles, or eating a fresh hot chocolate donut.

"Hey," The Beyonder suggested one day, "You should shape-shift into something more humanoid."

Bill gave it some thought before saying, "Nah, I don't like conforming to any world in particular."

Beyonder argued, "It wouldn't be conforming to my earth, just fitting in with other humans."

Bill thought momentarily and said, "I think I forgot something."

"Well," The Beyonder said, "if you forgot it, it's probably unimportant."

Bill then grew suspicious and asked the Beyonder, "Just how powerful are you?"

The Beyonder said, "I'm more powerful than any mortal can imagine."

Bill let this answer reverberate through the prism of his mind, and he gasped in realization.

Bill snapped at the Beyonder, "You made me forget about all my plans! Didn't you?!"

The Beyonder smirked and said, "And it's a pity you figured it out so soon. I hope we can meet again soon, Bill. But until then, I'm banishing you back to the Nightmare Realm, where you belong."

The Beyonder opened a portal behind Bill, and the portal dragged Bill into the Nightmare Realm.

Bill came into the Nightmare Realm and was infuriated by the banishment. Then, when he came to his throne room, he was immediately caught off guard by the most surprising sight he'd ever beheld.

There was a second version of himself, but his colors were inverted on his throne. This other Bill was also surprised to see him. He hopped off his throne to face him.

They asked each other, pointing. "Who in the multiverse are you?"

"I'm Bill," the Bill that came in explained, "I am the god of this universe."

"I'm Rephic Llib," said the inverted Bill, "I rule as a god here."

Bill asked, "You wanna team up?"

Rephic said, "Oh heck yeah!"

Rephic and Bill started searching for a new world to attack. Bill discovered a link to a new multiverse of universes. He subtly invaded the unconscious mind of one Timmy Turner. From him, Bill crossed over into the Ghost Zone.

Bill hid himself from only the most powerful being in the pocket dimension. That just so happened to be Spongebob.

Bill whispered to SpongeBob, "Why not use your power to stop the fighting?"

Spongebob spotted the glowing yellow triangle with an eye peeking at him. Spongebob was intrigued.

Spongebob asked, "Who are you?"

He chuckled to himself before replying, "You can call me Bill. I'm your friend Spongebob."

Spongebob chirped, "Nice to meet you!"

Bill asked, "You're a reality bender, right?"

"Oh sure," SpongeBob answered, "I can do things most toons can't."

Bill then asked, "So you can do whatever you want, right?"

SpongeBob replied, "Not exactly. I still need to use my power responsibly."

Bill told SpongeBob, "Then the most responsible action would be to take your friends to safety."

Sponge Bob said, "I guess your right."

Bill then hid away in the back of SpongeBob's mind. That same night, he appeared to SpongeBob in a dream. Bill structured the dream so Spongebob could see what Spongebob's reality was like.

SpongeBob greeted him cheerfully, "Hey, Bill!"

Bill replied, "Hiya, pal!"

SpongeBob noted, "You look different."

Bill said, "Why, thank you for noticing."

Bill turned away from SpongeBob to the frayed seams of their world.

Bill said, "I couldn't help but notice that the fabric of your reality is unraveling, bud."

SpongeBob replied, "I noticed that too; I bet it's because Bubbles is trying to rewrite my past."

Bill turned back to SpongeBob and said, "Hey, If you want me to, I can help you fix it."

SpongeBob reassured, "Oh, there's no need for that; I could probably fix it on my own if I needed to."

Bill said, "Prove it."

SpongeBob summoned a thread and needle and floated down to the frayed seems. He used his sewing needle to stitch back together the frayed seams.

Bill watched in detached amusement.

When SpongeBob finished, he came back up to Bill.

SpongeBob said, "Tada! All fixed!"

Bill scoffed, "That's not going to stay fixed for long."

SpongeBob asked, "Then what are you going to do to make it more permanent?"

Bill replied, "Oh, you'll just have to wait and see. But first, I have a small favor I'd like to ask of you."

SpongeBob asked, "What sort of favor?"

Bill answered, "Your friend Sandy is pretty smart; she made herself a nice weak portal. I ask that you give her the schematics to a more powerful portal so I can come over and fix your dimension!"

SpongeBob asked, "Why can't I just give you the power to cross into any realm you wish?"

Bill was caught off guard, "Wait, you can do that?"

SpongeBob replied, "Oh, sure!"

SpongeBob summoned a bottle of bubble soap.

"Close your eyes," SpongeBob instructed.

Bill was a bit on guard but obeyed. SpongeBob blew a small blanket of sudsy bubbles onto Bill; his entire body was covered. The instant they all popped, Bill felt blessed with a new power.

"You can open your eyes now," Spongebob said.

Bill listened, and he opened his eyes again.

SpongeBob then asked, "Where did you even come from?"

Bill answered truthfully, "Oh, I'm from the Nightmare Realm, where I rule as King."

SpongeBob said, "Huh, neat!"

Bill was surprised and asked, "Doesn't that freak you out?

SpongeBob retorted, "Why should it?"

Bill couldn't answer without making himself look very bad.

Spongebob asked, "Do people assume you're evil because of your title?"

Bill answered, "Uhh, yeah! I hate it when they do that."

SpongeBob asked, "Do you know who Confucius is?"

Bill gave it some thought, allowing the question to pass through his mind's prism before he spoke.

Bill answered, "Of course I know him; he's me!"

Bill was caught off guard by this answer. It was the correct answer, but it needed to make more sense to him. He was telling the truth, but it felt like it had been eons since this specific truth came from him. For the first time in his life, Bill felt confused.

Bill quietly remarked, "This is a new feeling."

SpongeBob gasped in fear, "Doesn't that make you evil?"

Bill said, "My siblings just don't understand what it's like to be me."

Bill couldn't believe the words that just left him. He felt like these answers were from a long-buried past, but simultaneously, he felt powerless to hide them again.

SpongeBob asked, "What is it like to be you?"

Bill admitted, "As much as I like the Nightmare Realm and what it's become, it's not my home. I think my home is still somewhere else out there somewhere. I can't belong there or anywhere. I'm a living enigma."

Bill had to resist slapping himself for admitting something so personal.

SpongeBob offered, "Maybe you make yourself a place to call home. I can give you a blank dimension where you can build your own home. That way, you don't have to keep looking for one."

Bill asked, "And what are you getting out of this?"

SpongeBob thought momentarily before cheerfully replying, "The satisfaction of making my friend happy."

Bill was surprised at this reply.

SpongeBob then gave Bill a blank piece of paper with a wink.

Bill took it with annoyance and said, "Thank you."

SpongeBob smiled and said, "Of course, Friend."

Bill then took the page, and to his amazement, it wasn't just a piece of paper. It was a paper-sized hole in space and time peeking into a dimension perfect for Bill to mold how he liked.

Then, the sound of SpongeBob's alarm blasted through the dream.

SpongeBob said, "Bye, Bill, I hope I'll see you again soon!"

Bill waved goodbye as the dream faded away.

Bill came back to Ryphic and explained what happened. He kept the blank dimension a secret for now.

Rephic ordered, "We need to use your new power to destroy his world immediately."

Bill asked, "How? I can travel through different worlds, but none of the Henchmaniacs can."

Rephic thought momentarily and replied, "Maybe you can get the Sponge-brat to give you the power to open portals?"

Bill visited Spongebob in a different dream. Spongebob was playing with little toy versions of his friends. Bill found himself unable to float and was forced to walk. It had been a while since he had walked on two feet. He was a bit unbalanced.

SpongeBob noticed this and helped Bill stand.

"Sorry," SpongeBob said, "I didn't know you were coming."

Bill reassured, "It's fine."

He summoned a cane to help him stand.

Spongebob asked, gesturing to the toys, "Is this how you see my universe?"

Bill answered, "This is your dream. If anything, this is how you see your universe."

Spongebob was a bit upset. He didn't like that answer.

Bill asked, "How long have you known about the power you hold within you?"

Spongebob answered, "I have always known, but I fear it's getting beyond what my world can handle."

Bill laughed and said, "You shouldn't worry so much. Your power is already stronger than anyone else in this reality."

"But," SpongeBob protested, "This is my home! All the people here are my friends! I can't just throw them away!"

Bill turned away, staring off into the distance. He could still envision the day he floated over the blistering remains of the second dimension. He tried to remember any attachment to it, but all he felt in that memory was relief.

Bill sighed and murmured, "What a naive sentiment."

Spongebob was a bit concerned that Bill was so silent.

Bill turned back to Spongebob and said, "I'm not asking you to throw it all away; just try to bend a few rules."

SpongeBob then asked, "Are you okay? You seemed a bit lost in thought for a while."

Bill replied, "I was just remembering something."

Spongebob was curious but decided not to press it.

Bill then said, "You know, some of my friends want to visit this place too. I can cross over, but unfortunately, they don't. I still have those schematics for your friend."

SpongeBob asked, "Can't you open portals?"

Bill answered, "I wouldn't ask for one if I could do it alone."

SpongeBob asked, "How powerful are you, Bill?"

Bill snapped his fingers, and the playroom walls collapsed to reveal a mess of warping colors and bubbles of weirdness floating around.

"Welcome to the Nightmare Realm," Bill said, "I reshaped it into my playground long before you even took your first breath."

Spongebob was amazed as he looked around. There were a few floating creatures that were mismatched monsters of body parts of different animals.

Spongebob said, "Woah, this is awesome!"

Bill chuckled. Spongebob then spotted a giant black pyramid floating in the distance.

Spongebob then asked, "What's that place, Bill?"

Bill answered, "That is my palace. I live there with my friends, and there's a party every day!"

Spongebob said, "That sounds more like a frat house than a livable space."

Bill said quietly, "It's better than wandering for the rest of eternity."

Bill then set SpongeBob's dream back up.

Bill asked, "Did that answer your question?"

Spongebob excitedly said, "That was incredible! You are so powerful, Bill!"

Bill said, "I can teach you how to control your power, and in exchange, you can help me open the door for my friends to cross over!"

SpongeBob said, "That's a great idea!"

Bill's eyes glowed blue, and a blue flame surrounded his hand as he offered it to Spongebob. Bill asked, "Do we have a deal?"

Spongebob was amazed at the display and focused his energy. Then, the little sponge's hand was fizzy with suds. SpongeBob gasped excitedly. Then, the fizz faded away.

"This gives me an idea," Spongebob said, "Stand still!"

Bill's flame extinguished as he became intrigued.

Then, Spongebob inhaled water, put his cupped hands around his mouth, and blew a big bubble around Bill. Then he covered the bubble in suds. Bill felt his entire body surge with a new power before they all popped.

Spongebob said, "Tada! Now you can open portals at will!"

Before Bill could say anything, Spongebob's alarm blared, and the dream faded.
