AN: Thanks again for all the awesome support! Also, thank you for pointing out that typo Quiet Leaf, I'll make sure to fix that.

So, one of my reviewers, Allotrios, mentioned that Bill seems oblivious to the outcome of many of the twin's adventures when he kept his infinite knowledge. Well, yes, Bill did watch Gravity Falls but I think he only started looking more closely at the twins after they bested him in Dreamscapers.

But, if I'm wrong, I can just keep it that way for the sake of this AU. After Dreamscapers, Bill WILL be able to know what'll happen next, (Gideon taking the shack, Bill possessing Dipper and of course, Weirdmageddon). So, I guess you could look forward to that! Thank you for the question. If any of you have questions, comments, or constructive criticism, I'll listen (a friendly comment is nice too)!

Also, apologize for not having bold and italics last chapter. I typed it on my phone so everything was slightly…weird.

Now enough tricks! Time for chapter six!

Chapter Six: The Hand the Pisses off the Bill

"The tiger was hurt in an explosion, so we gave him a fist!" The TV said.

The twins, who were on the floor with Bill, and Soos who was on the chair, cheered.

"This show is going to drop my IQ!" Bill complained. "Why's it called 'Tiger Fist'? he has a human fist! And where's the plot?"

"It's senseless fun, dear brother," Dipper said wisely. "Something that evades your mind."

"Let's see if you can evade, this!" Bill lunged at Dipper and tickled him under the armpit. The brunette exploded with laughter and Mabel giggled.

"You're not escaping either, Mabes!" Bill said grabbing Mabel by the arms and tickling her too. Soos smiled at the three Pines, all three of them laughing.

"Tiger Fist will return after these messages," The TV continued.

Then some random emotional music played.

"Hey, that's the commercial I told you dudes about," Soos said. Bill stopped tickling his siblings and looked up at the TV.

"Are you feeling miserable?" The commentator asked.

"Yes!" A sobbing man on the TV exclaimed.

"Then you need, Gideon."

Bill gritted his teeth. "Oh, I hate that kid!"

"You know him?" Dipper asked curiously.

"Yup, and I hate him," Bill said as the commercial continued.

"…a psychic so, don't waist your time on other so called 'Men of Mystery.'" The commercial showed Stan stepping out of an outhouse with the word FRAUD plastered on it.

"Come learn about tomorrow, tonight! Come on over folks! Gideon's, expecting you!" Bill couldn't help but notice the sinister sounding ending.

"Is he really psychic?" Mabel asked in awe.

"We should find out!" Dipper said excitedly.

"No!" Bill and Stan said at the same time as the old man walked in.

"Ever since he rolled into town, I've been getting nothing but trouble!" Stan continued, hanging up his jacket. "Nobody under my roof is going under that Gideon's roof!"

"Do tents have roofs?" Dipper asked.

"We found our loop hole!" Mabel said holding up an actual loop hole.

"Mabel, what did I tell you about visual puns, one," Bill said with a scowl. "And two, Gideon's a lying, cheating, dangerous little bastard, and you two are going nowhere near him!"

"How do you know him exactly, Matthew?" Dipper asked crossing his arms.

"Let's just say me and Psychic Kid—I mean—."

"You gave Gideon a nickname too!" Mabel said squeezing her cheeks. "Aw! So many people like you!"

"Why would you give Gideon a nickname if you hate him so much?" Dipper asked suspiciously. That kid was too observant for his own good.

"Err, I don't want to talk about it," Bill muttered.

"Can we go?" Mabel asked. "I want to see his awesome powers!"

"I just said—,"

"If he does do something, you can just burn him up with your flames!" Mabel said confidently.

Bill was about to put his foot down when Mabel gave him that "You Murdered a Kitten" look.

Bill moaned. "Fine,"

...A-X-O-L-O-T-L...

Bill sat inside the tent next to the twins. He was glaring at the stage. Gideon, not only was spoiled and annoying, but he made a deal with Bill twice and both times didn't hold his part of the bargain. Though, again. If he tried getting 10 feet near his siblings he'd make him regret ever meeting him.

"This is like a wacko version of the shack!" Mabel exclaimed.

"They even have their own Soos," Dipper said pointing at a handyman walking.

Soos narrowed his eyes and Bill snickered lightly.

Then the lights dimmed. "Let's see who this guy is," Dipper said crossing his arms.

The curtains opened and there stood Gideon Gleeful. Bill's eye twitched. He looked even more annoying in person.

"That's who you and Grunkle Stan hate so much?" Dipper asked Bill.

"He's so wittle!" Mabel gushed.

"Hello America! My name is Lil' Gideon!" The boy said. That voice…argh!

"I just wanted to say it's such a gift to have you all here! Such a gift!" Gideon said with a smile. "I have a vision! You will all soon say 'Aww!'" Gideon turned around and gave a "cute" look. Everyone gushed.

"It came true!" Mabel whispered.

"I'm not impressed," Dipper mumbled. "I can see how much a liar his now."

"Hit it, Dad!" Gideon said to a man in the back. Music started playing and Gideon started dancing. Oh, no. Tell me he's not going to sing…Bill pleaded in his head.

"Oh, I can see, what others can't see.

It's not some sideshow trick, it's innate ability!

Where others are blind, I am futurely inclined,

And you too could see, if you were little old me!"

Bill slumped down into his chair. One thing worse the Gideon's voice? His singing voice. Bill couldn't help remembering his mother Ellie and deciding that she'd sing ten times better than this.

"Come on everyone! Stand up! Keep it going!" Gideon said clutching the tie on his neck.

Everyone stood, including Bill, who had no intention of standing up. What? He demanded in his head.

"How did he…?" Bill heard Dipper say. Bill narrowed his eyes at the kid. Just what was he playing at?

"You wish your son would call you more," Gideon sang to an old lady. "I leave it all to my cats!" She exclaimed.

"I sense you've been here before!" Gideon sang to Blubs who was holding a bunch of Gideon merchandise. "What gave it away?" The police officer asked giddily.

Bill and Dipper rolled their eyes.

"I'll read you mind if I am able," Gideon said advancing towards Mabel. At that moment, Bill flicked his wrist behind his back and Gideon's clothes caught in blue flames.

The crowd screamed. And the man, who Bill recognized as Bud Gleeful stopped playing to try and pat his son down.

"Uh, uh, goodnight everyone!" Bud exclaimed as people either tried to help Gideon or ran out. Bill grabbed Dipper and Mabel's arms and they and Soos ran out of the tent.

"Matthew!" Mabel said pulling away from Bill once they where outside. "Why did you do that?"

"He was closer than ten feet away from you," Bill said. "That's closer than he's supposed to be."

"Seriously, Matt," Dipper said. "What did he do that caused you to hate him so much? Why is he dangerous?"

Bill closed his eyes for ten seconds before opening them again. "Let's just say, that when he wants something, he'll go to drastic measures to get it." Bill gave his siblings a serious look.

"Don't go near him," he said firmly.

Dipper still looked suspicious, but he nodded. "Okay."

"Promise?" Bill asked.

"I promise," Dipper and Mabel said in unison.

Unfortunately, Bill didn't realize the fact that Gideon was watching them with suspicion in his eyes.

...A-X-O-L-O-T-L...

"Look guys!" Mabel said as she walked into the kitchen where Bill and Dipper where playing chess, rhyme stones on her face. "I successfully bedazzled my face! Blink…ow." Mabel cringed.

"Is that permanent?" Dipper asked.

"I'm unappreciated," Mabel grumbled.

"Yeah, I really don't think that's safe, also, checkmate," Bill said and smirked as Dipper moaned. "Why do you always win?"

The doorbell rang.

"Somebody get the door!" Stan barked. Bill got up to get it but Mabel stopped him. "No need dear brother! Continue to kick Dipper's butt at chess!" Mabel said wiping off the stones and walking to the door.

"Traitor!" Dipper called as Bill snickered and set up a new game.

After about a minute of playing, Stan called, "Who's at the door?"

"Nobody Grunkle Stan!" Mabel called back. Bill killed Dipper's pawn before frowning and getting up to check on Mabel.

"…peach so sweet can be related to a lemon so—oh hello there!" Gideon said politely to Bill. Bill scowled in return.

"Mabel," Bill said still glaring at Gideon. "Get inside."

"But Matt—!"

"Now."

Mabel cringed at her brother's tone before walking back inside.

"Is there something wrong?" Gideon asked politely.

"I don't want you near my siblings again, got it?" Bill hissed, his blue eyes flashing dangerously.

"Why sir!" Gideon said innocently. "I don't what I've done wrong—."

"If you look at my siblings, something bad will happen," Bill growled. "If you go near them, something really bad will happen." Bill kneeled so that he was right in front of Gideon's face. Enjoying the look of terror that showed.

"And if you touch them…" Bill held up a flaming hand and Gideon yelped. "That was you last night!" he cried.

Bill ignored him and stood up, giving Gideon one last vicious glare before saying, "Leave Dipper and Mabel out of your twisted schemes, Gideon Charles Gleeful."

Gideon gaped. "How do you know my—?" Bill slammed the door shut.

Gideon narrowed his eyes. There was something off about that boy. He decided to ask Mabel about it once she became his queen.

...A-X-O-L-O-T-L...

"Matthew!" Mabel cried indignantly. "What's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong with you?!" Bill demanded. "Didn't I tell you to stay away?"

"He was being nice!"

"For his own personal gain!"

"UGH! I hate it when you're like this!" Mabel ran out of the living room and all the way to the attic.

"What happened?" Dipper asked, he appeared to be writing something in a notebook.

"Gideon came over and I told him to piss off. Now Mabel's mad," Bill grumbled, sitting down. "What're you writing?"

"Game tactics so I can beat you," Dipper said smugly. "Let's see you beat me now!"

Bill smirked. That was unlikely.

...A-X-O-L-O-T-L...

Mabel sat on her bed sulking. Why did Matthew hate Gideon so much? What did he do wrong? She jumped in surprise when she heard a bang on her window. She looked at said window and saw a rock being thrown at it. Curiously, Mabel opened it up and peered down. She grinned, recognizing the friendly smile of Gideon.

"Wanna come down and do something together?" Gideon called, but not too loud, lest Matthew hear him.

Mabel's grin broadened and to the surprise of the boy, she leapt out of the window with a short scream and landed on him.

"That was fun! Painful, but mostly fun!" Mabel said cheerfully as she rolled off if Gideon.

"What do you want to do?"

Gideon smiled. "I have something in mind that I'm sure you'll like!"

...A-X-O-L-O-T-L...

Dipper sat on the couch in the living room, reading Journal 3.

"Hey Dipper? How's it going?" Mabel said wiggling her pink nails above her twin's face.

Dipper cried out in surprise and sat up. "Where were you? Matthew thought you got kidnapped by Gideon!"

Mabel laughed. "Oh! He wouldn't do that. I was hanging out with him though. He is one dapper little man!"

"Mabel, we promised Matt we wouldn't go near him!" Dipper exclaimed.

Mabel batted a hand through the air. "What Matthew doesn't know won't kill him!" Mabel put her hands on her hips and scowled at Dipper. "You won't tell him, will you?"

"Mabel—."

Mabel gave her brother the "You Killed a Kitten" look.

Dipper moaned. "Fine, what are you going to tell him when he sees you, though? You can't hide…well that."

"Hide what?"

The twins turned to see Bill standing by the doorway. "Mabel, what? Why are you dressed like that?"

"I was playing dress up with myself," Mabel lied.

Bill narrowed his eyes. "Want to tell the truth?" Mabel's shoulders slumped. For us long as she could remember, her brother could tell if she or Dipper were lying.

"I was playing dress up with Gideon," Mabel admitted finally.

"You what?!" Bill demanded. He was in front of his sister in a few steps and he instantly looked her over before putting his hands on her shoulders. "Did he hurt you?"

"What? No!" Mabel said pulling away. "Gideon didn't do anything like that! He wouldn't do anything like that!"

"You don't know Gideon," Bill said firmly.

"No, you don't know Gideon!" Mabel snapped. "So, quit trying to be a mom! I can handle myself!"

"I'm not being a mom!"

"Yes, you are! Dipper, isn't Matthew acting like a mom?"

Dipper cringed. "Um, I don't exist right now…"

"I'm just trying to look out for you!" Bill cried.

"If you really were you'd let me make my own decisions and my own friends!" Mabel exclaimed.

Bill gritted his teeth and watched as Mabel stormed off before scoffing and storming off in the other direction.

Dipper watched both his siblings and sighed.

"Well, that was fun to watch," Stan said from behind Dipper, causing the boy to scream.

Stan snorted. "You scream like a girl; did anyone tell you that?"

"I do not scream like a girl!"

...A-X-O-L-O-T-L...

Mabel sat on top of a factory roof with Gideon, looking at Gravity Falls through their copper glasses. "Matthew really doesn't like you," Mabel said. "I don't know why."

"Ah, well, maybe Stanford just rubbed off on him, y'know?" Gideon suggested.

"What did you do that made him not want to trust you?" Mabel asked looking at her friend.

Gideon blinked twice. "Come again?"

"He said he met you before," Mabel said slowly. "That you would do anything to get what you wanted…"

"What?" Gideon laughed. "I've never met your brother before yesterday! What're you talking about?"

It was Mabel's turn to say, "What?" She let that info sink in some before gritting her teeth. "He lied to me?!" Mabel demanded.

Gideon shrugged. "I guess he did."

Mabel hugged herself as she stared at the ground below. "How could he lie to me?"

Her vison blurred with tears.

"Aw, don't cry, Mabel!" Gideon said hugging the sobbing girl. "I just never thought he'd ever lie to me and Dipper!"

"We all got flaws," Gideon said as he patted Mabel on the back.

Yes indeed. Gideon internally giggled.

"Tell you what, Mabel. How about we go on a date?" Gideon asked pulling away.

Mabel wiped away her tears. "Uh, a shopping date?"

Gideon shook his head.

"A play date?"

"Just one little date!" Gideon said.

Mabel rubbed her arms. Well, she was mad at Matthew, and going out with Gideon would make him mad…but did she really want to be that spiteful? Though she was feeling stressed…

"I guess one couldn't hurt."

...A-X-O-L-O-T-L...

Bill had this sick feeling in his stomach. It was awful, he didn't think he had ever felt it in his trillion years of existence. Then it hit him.

Guilt.

But why was he guilty? Was it because he realized he was too hard on Mabel? The girl had avoided him like the plague and it made him feel so sick. Mabel had never purposely avoided him. It was so…so sickening.

He was leaning on the counter, "chatting" with Wendy, Soos and Dipper. They were talking about—he seriously didn't know what they were talking about. He tuned the conversation out a long time ago and he only responded with "uh huh" whenever he was addressed.

"Matt, are you okay?" Dipper asked frowning at his brother.

"Yeah dude, you were staring into space for like, ten minutes," Wendy said.

"I was just—."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Stan barked storming in with newspaper in hand. "What's that skunk doing with Mabel?"

"Oh, yeah, they're totally dating," Wendy said holding up her phone. "Everyone's talking about it."

"I wonder what their couple name will be! Gable? Mideon?" Soos said reading a book…about Gideon and Mabel. What?

"What?! He's dating my grandniece?!" Stan shrieked squeezing the newspaper in his hand.

"I didn't know! Plus, I told her not to!" Dipper cried.

"You're a bad liar," Bill muttered as Stan stormed out of the house.

"Wouldn't it be cool if that was a closet and he had to walk out the real door?" Soos asked. Everyone looked at him. Soos opened the door. "Nope, real door."

"I figured you'd be mad about this too, Matthew," Wendy said. "I mean, you don't like Gideon either, right?"

"I don't care anymore," Bill muttered, looking away.

"But, you said he was dangerous," Dipper reminded him.

"Maybe I was wrong," Bill said quietly. "After all," he said in a quieter voice. "I've changed, guess it can't be hard for him to change too, right?"

"What'd you say dude?" Soos asked.

Bill shook his head and walked away. "Nothing."

Dipper, who was close enough to hear his brother's words, frowned at his brother's back.

He was definitely hiding something.

...A-X-O-L-O-T-L...

"So, how was it?" Dipper asked his sister as she walked in glumly. He was currently reading with Bill sitting beside him, he and Mabel looked up at each other before looking away. Bill, hating the feeling in his gut, walked out of the room.

He lay in his bed, clutching his stomach. He was sure this wasn't guilt; It was something else. He felt his body become sweaty and goose bumps prickling his arms. Finally, he jumped up and ran to the bathroom, heaving the contents of his stomach into the toilet.

Feeling his head spinning, Bill staggered to the wall, placing his two hands on it and his forehead, panting lightly.

"What the hell?" He mumbled to himself.

Then, as quickly as it came, the nausea passed. It was like it never happened.

Bill walked out of the bathroom to see Mabel on her bed, she looked like she was waiting for somebody.

"Matthew? Why'd you lie to me?" She asked quietly.

"Lie? Mabel I—when did I lie?" Bill asked, seriously confused.

"You said that you had a history with Gideon!" Mabel said. "He said that he's never met you since the day at the tent!"

Bill opened and closed his mouth several times. Why'd I say that I had a history with Gideon? WHY?! I should've known she'd ask Gideon if I was being all secretive about it.

"So, you did lie!" Mabel snapped when she saw her brother's expression.

"I didn't lie…" Bill said slowly.

"What're you hiding, Matthew?" Dipper asked from behind Bill. He spun around to find the boy crossing his arms. How much did he hear?

"Look," Bill said. "I-I didn't lie to either of you, okay? I swear."

"So, Gideon just has a bad case of amnesia?" Dipper asked with frown. Well, he probably heard everything.

"It's…complicated," Bill said, feeling his face become sweaty.

"Just tell us Matt," Mabel insisted, her voice less angry. "We won't get angry if we hear the truth."

"I will tell you…everything," Bill closed his eyes. "Just, not now, okay?"

"Matthew!" Dipper said, clearly peeved.

"Please. Not now," Bill begged. "I don't think either of us could handle the truth."

Mabel clenched her fists slightly but nodded anyway. Dipper shook his head. "How could you keep secrets from us?" He demanded.

"It's not because I don't want to tell you two!" Bill exclaimed. "I'll tell you, both of you, I'll tell you everything, just not now."

Dipper seemed like he was about to argue when he saw the pleading in his brother's eyes. Dipper sighed. "Fine."

Bill sat on his bed and closed his eyes, rubbing his temples. He wanted to tell them, but he didn't. He knew that waiting longer would be worse but he still didn't want to tell them. How would they react? He didn't want to take the risk. But he had to tell them eventually. After all, he promised. Bill groaned in frustration, barely hearing the twins leave the room.

...A-X-O-L-O-T-L...

Bill walked downstairs and saw Mabel pacing while muttering to herself. "Mabel?" Bill called. Mabel yelped in surprise when she saw her brother.

"Oh, hi, Matthew," She muttered.

"Mabel," Dipper said walking into the room. "What happened on that date?"

"You went on another date?" Bill demanded.

"Yes, but I don't think you should care, since you won't tell us your secrets," Mabel grumbled.

"Mabel—!"

"Mabel, really, what happened?" Dipper asked.

"I don't know!" She cried. "One minute, I was in the friend zone, and then he pulled me into the romance zone!"

"He's harassing you?" Bill demanded steeping forward into the living room. Mabel fidgeted. "He—he isn't bad, really, he's just…obsessed?"

"Don't worry, Mabel," Dipper said putting an arm on his sister's shoulder. "You don't have to marry him!"

"Good news, Mabel!" Stan said as he walked in with a TEAM GIDEON shirt on. "You need to marry Gideon!"

"WHAT?!" The Pines siblings demanded.

"It's all a part of our agreement! There is a lot of cash tied up into this, lemme tell ya!" Stan said. "I even got this shirt! Wow…I'm fat."

Mabel ran off screaming.

"Bodies change dear, bodies change…" Stan said misinterpreting the screaming.

Bill however, was fuming mad.

"You betrothed her to Gideon Gleeful?!" Bill shrieked. "She's twelve!"

"Uh…when you put it that way…" Stan said slowly.

"How could you?!" Bill demanded. "Does money mean that much to you?!"

"Hey, hey, she'll be eighteen when she can marry him, kid!" But Bill didn't hear, he was too busy storming away, cursing Stan under his breath.

When he opened the attic door he saw Dipper talking with Mabel who was in Sweater Town.

"Mabel?" Bill asked. Dipper turned and Mabel buried deeper into her sweater. "Hey Matthew," Dipper mumbled turning away too.

"Don't tell me you guys are still mad at me! I told you I'd tell you, just not now!" Bill said walking towards them. Neither Mabel, nor Dipper answered.

"Tell you what. I'll break the news to Gideon for you," Dipper said.

"I'm coming too," Bill said.

"Why?" Dipper asked with a raised eyebrow.

"One, Gideon's a freak, he could try something and I won't let you get hurt," Bill said firmly. Dipper was slightly taken back by that. He knew that his brother loved him but…he had never said that before.

"Two," Bill kneeled next to Mabel. "I want to make it up to you Mabes," Mabel peeked from her sweater.

"You'll let me, won't you?"

Mabel didn't answer, just flung herself at her brothers and hugged them tight. She didn't say anything, but her hug said everything that needed to be said; no words required.

Bill and Dipper hugged their sister back, Bill enjoying the warm sensation in his chest and cherishing it.

...A-X-O-L-O-T-L...

Dipper and Bill walked into the restaurant that looked freakishly expensive. Wow, how much bucks does this kid have?

They found Gideon sitting in a chair that was too large for him.

"Oh! Dipper and Matthew Pines! What a…surprise," Gideon said politely, though Bill knew it was forced, especially when his eyes darted over to him.

"Mabel won't be coming tonight," Dipper said. "She doesn't want to date you."

Gideon blinked twice. "What?"

"Well, you're putting her under pressure, what did you expect?" Bill snapped. "The only reason I'm not going to take your innards and use if for Christmas decorations is because I'd probably get in trouble for that."

Gideon paled visibly before his eye twitched. "You mean, you two got in the way?"

"You're not going to…freak out, right?" Dipper asked.

"Nope!" Gideon said cheerfully…a bit too cheerfully.

"These things happen! Bygones, you know!" He giggled and Bill shivered involuntarily.

"Well, cool! Thumbs up and uh, 'bye!" Dipper said as he and Bill walked out.

"Did he freak out?" Mabel asked in panic.

"Nope," Dipper said happily.

"I won't let him bother you anymore Mabes," Bill said. And he wasn't. Because he knew Gideon wasn't done yet.

...A-X-O-L-O-T-L...

"Hit me dudes!" Soos said stuffing a pillow in his chest. Dipper and Mabel crashed into him and fell to the floor laughing. Bill charged and the two toppled over, causing the twins to laugh harder.

"It's nice to have things back to the way they were," Mabel said with a smile.

From inside, the phone rang.

"Your turn!" Mabel said a but earlier than Dipper. "Aw man," he mumbled.

Bill watched the male twin walk into the house. After about five seconds, Bill brushed himself off and walked after him. After all, it could be a Gideon scheme.

"Tonight?" He heard Dipper say. "Okay, goodbye." When Dipper put the phone down he was grinning like mad.

"Who was that?" Bill asked.

"Toby Determined," Dipper replied.

Bill scowled. "That douche who made fun of us last week?"

"We did accuse him of murder," Dipper pointed out.

"Touché," Bill said. "What did he want?"

"To meet us for an interview," Dipper said excitedly. "Isn't it great?"

"Why us?" Bill asked.

"I need a guardian over thirteen," Dipper said. "So, can we go?"

"I don't know," Bill said slowly.

"Oh, come on Matt! It could be our chance to noticed for once!" Dipper said.

Bill shrugged. "If I'm going with you it'll be fine, I guess. What's the worst that could happen?"

And with that line, Bill tempted the irony of the universe.

...A-X-O-L-O-T-L...

"This it is," Dipper said looking at the notebook and back at the old warehouse.

"Stay behind me, just in case," Bill said. Dipper hesitated, but nodded as the two made it to the little building and opened the door.

"Hello?" Dipper called. It appeared to be empty.

"Something isn't right here," Bill said sharply. "Dipper, run, now."

Dipper seemed to be getting red flags too because he dashed for the door, but it slammed shut. Dipper cried in surprise and tried opening the door but to no avail.

"Move!" Bill demanded as flames appeared in his hand. "I'll blast it down!" Before he could however, Bill's arms where pinned to his sides and he began to float.

"Matthew!" Dipper exclaimed as Bill struggled against the invisible force. He tried making flames, creating a weapon, trying to do something but it was fruitless.

The lights turned on and there was Gideon, sitting on a chair patting a miniature doll of himself the same way a villain pats a cat.

"You!" Bill growled as he struggled even more. Ugh, he should've known.

"Let Matt go man!" Dipper snapped.

Gideon hummed. "How about, no?"

Bill gasped as his oxygen supply was cut off.

"Stop it!" Dipper exclaimed as Gideon laughed manically.

Bill felt his vision blur. "Do you know how many things I did to win Mabel's heart? So much!" Bill's throat closed even more. And just when he thought he was going to be rendered unconscious, the hold on him dissipated.

Bill fell to the ground unceremoniously and coughed and panted for breath. Turning, he saw Gideon screaming in agony as Dipper pinned his arms uncomfortably behind his back, a look of unbottled rage on his face. Bill smirked. I taught him well.

Gideon's amulet glowed and Dipper was encased in green light and thrown against a stack of boxes.

By now, Bill was seeing red.

His fists full of flames, he dashed at Gideon and punched him in the cheek. The boy screamed and skidded across the floor.

He was about to rip the amulet off his neck when he began floating again, Dipper along with him.

"She'll never date you!" Dipper screamed.

"Liar!" Gideon snapped.

"You think she'd want to date you?!" Bill demanded. "You're too desperate!"

Gideon growled. "You need to be shut up for good, pretty boy."

"I'm sorry, what was that?!" Bill screeched as a pair of shears went right towards him. Bill stared at the shears in panic. Trying harder than before to reach for his powers.

Nope.

"Matthew!" Dipper screamed as the shear came within a millimeter of Bill's skin—

"Gideon!" Came the most welcome voice in the universe.

Gideon spun around and the shears dropped, both Bill and Dipper sighed in relief.

"Oh! Marshmallow! What're you doing here?" Gideon asked nervously.

"I can't be your marshmallow Gideon, sorry." Mabel walked towards him.

"I-I don't understand…" Gideon said clutching his tie.

Bill grunted as pain shot through his body. "Uh Mabel?" Dipper said. "Now isn't the time to be brutally honest with him!"

"We can still be dress up buddies, right?" Mabel said with a smile. "Wouldn't you like that?"

Gideon smiled. "Really?"

Mabel's smile dropped and she snatched the tie. "No! not really!" She exclaimed as the two boys fell from the air. "You were like, totally attacking my brothers! What the heck?!"

"My tie!" Gideon cried. "Give it back!" Mabel held it up in the air as Gideon tried desperately to grab it. He then staggered forward and crashed into Mabel, who crashed into Bill, who then crashed into Dipper.

The four of them screamed as they fell through the sky. Gideon managed to take his tie back and him and Mabel started floating.

"Dipper, Matthew!" Mabel shrieked as they continued to fall.

At the last minute, Bill thought of a bouncy castle and him and Dipper landed in it, bouncing freakishly high in the air. They both screamed as they fell back down and bounced a few times more before they just lay there.

"You okay?" Bill asked his brother.

"Yeah," Dipper mumbled. "You?"

Bill nodded and staggered to his feet, helping Dipper up and removing the bouncy house from existence.

"Guys!" Mabel said as she and Gideon landed lightly on their feet. She ran to her brothers and hugged them tight before giving Gideon a false grin. "Hey, Gideon!" Mabel said.

"Pink Dumpling?" Gideon asked somewhat hopefully.

Mabel scowled and slapped Gideon in the face. "That's for not taking a hint!" She snapped before snatching bathe the tie and crushing it under her foot.

"My powers!" Gideon cried.

"That's for trying to kill my brothers!" She snapped. "I will never, ever date you!"

"Yeah!" Dipper echoed.

"This isn't over!" Gideon said. "You haven't seen the last of me!" He slowly backed up into the forest with narrowed eyes.

"Should we be worried about that?" Dipper asked.

"Unlike the gnomes? Yes," Bill kneeled next to his siblings and smiled. "But I'll protect you."

Dipper and Mabel smiled.

Even if Bill was keeping secrets, Dipper had a feeling that he could trust his brother, with this at least.

...A-X-O-L-O-T-L...

"What happened to you three?" Stan asked hanging up a painting of a crying clown.

"Gideon," the Pines siblings said in unison.

"Argh, Gideon," Stan spat. "Yeah, he swore vengeance on the whole family."

"What's he going to do?" Dipper asked with a smirk. "Guess what number we're thinking?"

"Negative eight!" Mabel said. "Nobody thinks about negatives!"

"Don't underestimate the enemy," Bill said firmly.

"Aw, lighten up kid!" Stan said ruffling Bill's hair.

Bill smiled.

...A-X-O-L-O-T-L...

"I still love you Gideon!" Gideon held up a doll version of Mable. "If only my family weren't in the way!"

He held up a doll version of Stan. "Look at me! I'm old and I'm smelly!"

Gideon held up a Bill doll. "I'm so high and mighty with my cool powers!"

Finally, he held up Dipper. "What're you going to do without tour amulet?"

Gideon smirked.

"You'll see boy, you'll see…"

...A-X-O-L-O-T-L...

AN: The end…for now. This might be the longest chapter yet!
