Late in the night, Gideon lay in bed to sleep. A darkened shadow loomed over him, a distinctly triangle-shaped one. Gideon's eyelids squeezed tighter as if fighting himself a bit. The shadow sunk beneath his pillow, and he succumbed to whatever dark power was in the room.

Gideon dreamed about the woods. The trees all around him seemed to have eyes watching him. He was initially following a path in the woods he wasn't sure of. But it was like he was in a time loop for a while. He was going in circles, practically memorizing every step he took. Then he came across Bill Cipher's old body. Gideon felt a presence here, a distinctly familiar yet creepy presence. Bill Cipher's body then began glowing under the stone. The eye blinked, and it was restored. Gideon watched helplessly as Bill Cipher restored himself bit by bit. Crazed laughter filled the air when the last piece of stone was restored into flesh.

Gideon gasped in shock, "You're still alive in there?"

"Why yes," Cipher said, " and I need your help. Only my human counterpart can fully restore me. But, it would seem Open-mouthed Fisdh and Shooting Star have gotten it in their heads that I should be trying to distance myself from my old plans. But Weirdmageddon was supposed to spread to the entire universe. I still don't know how the weirdness was even contained then."

Gideon asked, "Why should I help you?"

Cipher made a shooting star symbol appear in his hand and said, "Because I know that you want Mabel's affection more than anything in the multiverse. If you help me restore me to my body, I'll give you and Mabel a little pocket dimension where you can live in martial bliss for the rest of your puny little human lives."

The symbol disappeared as Gideon thought it over.

"I do want Mabel to love me," Gideon said, "But I want her love now, not when you eventually destroy the world."

Cipher said, "I could make you a love spell that, when recited, will bind Shooting Star's love to you."

A devilish grin spread across Gideon's face, and he said, "It's a deal!"

Cipher's hand was aflame as he shook Gideon's hand.

Gideon's eyes shot open as the dawn rose to greet him. He rushed to his desk and started writing something down as his eyes glowed yellow. Cipher had high-jacked his body to write down the spell he needed. Then he dropped Gideon's body. Gideon immediately found his way back to his body. And looked over the spell Bill wrote down. A twisted grin spread on his face.

"I think I should go to that party tonight," Gideon said, "It'll be quiet the show."

It was still morning as the small town prepared for the party. Everyone was buzzing with excitement.

"This is so great," Sheriff Blubs said, "We've got this decorating thing pinned down."

Deputy Durland squealed in excitement, "Yeah! We have streamers, flags, and lights galore! The town is going to be so pretty!"

Pacifica was helping out by planning the party.

Robbie asked her, "Do you have any plans for who would be entertaining?"

Pacifica replied, handing him a clipboard, "Oh, we're having an open microphone. Anyone can sign up to perform."

Robbie smirked and signed up. He then set the clipboard on a table. Quite a few people signed up behind him, most notably Bill Lownie. Lownie did what he could to keep a low profile; he wore sunglasses to hide his eyes. Right behind him was Gideon, who had a big evil grin.

"You're going down," Gideon hissed to Lownie, "Mabel is my love alone."

Lownie quipped, "Whatever, dude."

Robbie overheard this and asked Lowie, "What's that pip-squeaks deal?"

Gideon was offended, "PIP-SQEAK?!"

Lownie answered, "I don't know. I guess he sees me as a threat to Mabel."

Gideon snapped and said, "Because you are!"

Robbie said, "Wow, you need to dial it back a couple of notches, dude."

Gideon threatened, "I'll show you who needs to dial it back when I win Mabel's heart!"

Gideon then stormed off, leaving Bill and Robbie thoroughly confused.

"Who are you," Robbie asked, "Anyway?"

"Names William," Bill Lownie answered, "But my friends call me Bill."

Robbie was mortified momentarily, but then he thought about it and said, "Nice to make your acquaintance. I'm Robbie, the cool one."

"Same," Bill said. Bill's watch then beeped.

"I have to head to work," Bill said, "See you tonight."

He rushed away. Later that evening, the town was vibrant with noise and colors as the townsfolk gathered to welcome back Mabel and Dipper. Pacifica hugged Mabel tearfully.

"I missed you so much," Pacifica admitted.

"Aw," Mabel cooed as she hugged her back, "I missed you too, Pacifica."

Many creatures were hanging about minators, gnomes, and a few unicorns. Mable and Ford were showered in apologies—apparently, the horned ponies were pretty badly spooked by Bill's display of power.

Dipper and Robbie exchanged glares and growls before bursting into laughter.

"It's good to see you, Dip-stick," Robbie said as he calmed down.

"Good to see you too," Dipper said, calming down, "Robbie Rotten."

Bill Lownie was over-seeing a table where he gave away pizza for free. He was wearing sunglasses again. He was getting extremely self-conscious about his condition. Soos approached the table and grabbed a plateful of slices.

Soos asked, "Is your boss okay with you giving away so many pizzas?"

Lownie shrugged and said, "It was his idea, especially since these are primarily pizzas corporate had forced us to cook to meet some quota this month."

Soos asked, "Does this happen a lot?"

"Nope," Bill said, "It was only this month. Pretty unusual, right?"

Soos chuckled and said, "Not for Gravity Falls."

Soos then took the pizzas to a table where the Pines family was sitting.
