Chapter Text

It was two years since Bill was sent to the Theraprism for his actions. He was sick of it at this point. All the group therapy sessions, the arts and crafts sessions, him being held down because he stabbed another patient in the eye with a pipe cleaner. It was sickening and today just made it worse.

It was visiting day at the Theraprism and Bill was sure that no one would visit him. Did he deserve it, yes, he basically destroyed countless timelines and universes. But making a day for all the other patients seeing a loved one just had a bitter taste in Bill’s eye. The doctors tried to help by giving Bill a box of crayons to do some “Arts and Crafts” but that seemed to not work as planned. Bill just drew blue and red triangles all over his room. Just in a panic or stress.

The day was almost over and Bill actually felt that he was going to be free from this stupid day that I swear nobody liked. But his door slowly opened. It was one of the doctors that was in charge of Bill’s outrageous tantrums.

“Bill Cipher. You have a visitor, surprisingly. Don’t fucking pull a fast one. Got it?” The doctor made it clear to Bill who only rolled his eye in annoyance.

“Yeah of course doc! I won’t pass a fast one on you! It’s not like I can because OF THIS PLACE NOT ALLOWING ANY OUNCE OF MY FUCKING POWERS—“

”Bill.”

Bill suddenly shuts up and just blinks (or winks I honestly don’t know how it works) at his visitor. It was the great god himself, the Axolotl. He looked calm and at ease at the sight of Bill in a padded room full of scribbled red and blue triangles from floor to ceiling. He then nodded away at the Doctor to signal that he wanted to have a private conversation with Bill and the doctor nodded their head for a yes.

While the doctor walked away this made Bill cackle to his heart contents. The Axolotl only looked at him like he was a tired teen just wanting their paycheck for babysitting an annoying kid, which kind of felt like it.

“I can’t believe they left! So are you here to break me out of here because if so I would be very grateful! Like the other patients here are so youdamn annoying. There is this one guy even in here saying that he is “The Beast” and also—“

“I am not going to “break” you out of the Theraprism Bill” the Axolotl stated.

“Wait what?” Bill looked at him with confusion. “WHY!!”

“You seem that you haven’t tried to make a difference with yourself since i sent you here, Bill.”

“I MADE A DIFFERENCE WITH MYSELF!!!” Bill shouted

Axolotl raised his eyebrows “Really? How so?” He asked with a curious yet sarcastic tone.

”Ehhhhhhhh…. I helped kill a bug infestation!” Bill came up with

“Oh well that’s good!” Axolotl said positively “Anything else?”

”No… “

”Oh well that's still a good thing that you did, friend!”

There was a long pause after Axolotl made that statement that they were “Friends”. Friends don’t force people into solitary confinement out of the others will. Friends don’t let people make a ritual to stop the other. FRIENDS don’t stay calm when HE IS AT HIS LOWES!! And friends don’t let everything stay into the timeline after everything has gone to shit.

“We are not friends.” Bill said with a cold tone. “and we will never be friends god so don’t try to make us like that we are.”

Axolotl paused at this sudden statement that Bill made. Suddenly the calm, peaceful, and happy face faded away and turned into a more serious face. Axolotl stared down at Bill and just sighed.

“Bill, the reason why you are here is your own fault…not mine.”

”I was happy before, Hell I even made a book on how I was happy before! But sadly I had to edit because of you and this shit!”

“Bill…”

”I really was! But because of the STUPID PINES FAMILY AND YOU!! I am not anywhere else!!!”

“Bill cipher. You are here with only yourself to blame! YOU tried to take over an entire dimension! YOU were the one who sent back TIME BABY in time!! YOU even tried to kill two children”

Bill just rolled his eye at these statements. They were true, yes but he knew that other anomalies have done so much worse... Ok that was a lie but it was annoying to hear his actions out of some smart asses mouth.

Suddenly Bill felt something twitch in his right hand. It was odd because he didn’t have his powers to work with. He then felt another twitch. Ok one was odd and two is just strange. Being Bill he was fully aware and had his full intentions on his hand. The third time it twitched blue as the sky sparks lit flames around it!

“Oh FUCK yes!!” Bill exclaimed “well you can keep talking about the shit fest I caused but I sadly can’t Stay!!” He showed his hand to Axolotl in a gloating way as Bill descended to Axolotl's height. The Axolotl watched in shock and in horror about this quickly brought into action.

“BILL CIPHER WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!” The Axolotl quickly grabbed Bills arm and tried to pull him down but it didn’t work as planned .

There was some struggle and the two were basically fighting for what was happening to stop or not. Bill's argument basically won because there was a bright flash in the entire room. While the doctors of the Theraprism quickly rushed to Bill’s room and to their shared horror when the Great Axolotl was gone along with Bill Cipher.

To be continued…

Chapter Text

The season of summer has come, and it comes beautifully to Gravity falls. The trees are green, the birds are chirping, and most of the destruction from Weirdmageddon is almost fixed! Basically like 90% of it. A lot can happen for 2 years and a couple of months after it. Everyone is basically calm now and just basically doesn't talk about the incident. Because if they even do they will get tased.

The point is that the people of Gravity Falls are done with the supernatural and done with the damage that Bill caused so long ago. They are so done they even put signs around the Bill Cipher Statue to not to go near, because that is the smartest use for protection on their souls. But apparently it didn’t work for some strange reason.

Bill slowly woke up. He sat up and rubbed his eyes with his hands. The flash bomb that happened at the Theraprism was so strong it basically knocked him out. While he was rubbing his eyes to adjust his vision, Bill made a realization. He has two eyes. He looked down at his hands and they weren’t his. They had a tan hue to them with freckles going down to the wrist, with black nails.

“What the hell…” Bill said with unbelief. He looked around the area and noticed he was in a forest that looked like no one had been around other than a few Woodland critters.

Bill slowly got up onto his feet and stretched out his back. He looked at what he was leaning on before he couldn’t believe what he was seeing. It was him…well technically him. It was the petrified version of him when he left behind his body to get into Stan's mind. He just looked at it for a good 5 minutes. He recognized the face he made at that moment. It was full of pride and gullibleness. It sickens him.

What snapped him out of his headspace was a twig snapping right by him. This made Bill jump and quickly looked around for anyone or anything that caused the noise. He was then greeted with a taller guy, who had pasty skin, long pink and light blue hair that is in a braid, wearing a light pink cardigan and jeans. The guy just looked at Bill in surprise but also not a shocked face.

“Oh you're awake.” The guy said with a calm tone while stepping towards Bill

“Who the fuck are you?!” Bill said.

“Bill it’s me” The guy said calmly but without hearing anything back he made himself more clear. “the axolotl”

There was a long pause after that statement and it was getting awkward. Bill was kicking his feet on the ground and The axolotl was staring at Bill to stay something.

“Well….SEE YA SUCKER!!” Bill shouted as he ran away in the opposite direction.

“W-Wait! Bill!” The Axolotl shouted at him while starting to chase him.

Bill was far ahead from him and was feeling pretty good about escaping but all his hopes quickly washed away when he ran straight in a tree. He quickly fell on his ass and just sat there in pain while the Axolotl catched up to him.

“Are you ok Bill?” He Asked

“Yeah I’m fine!” Bill answered in a snarky tone.

The Axolotl quickly got Bill back on his feet and just watched him wiping dirt off of his clothes. Bill grumbled under his breath as he finished.

“Oh! Here you go!” Axolotl gave Bill a pair of circular sunglasses. Bill raised an eyebrow with confusion.

“What?”

“For your eyes silly! If you keep running off like that and if somebody here bumps into you. You would find yourself with some sort of a pickle I don’t say.”

Bill quickly swiped the glasses from Axolotl’s hands and put the sunglasses on.

“Thanks….wait why did you do that?” Bill questioned.

“Do what?”

“Not like instantly kill me when I tried to run away and why are you human???”

“Oh well uhm..”

“You can’t do anything, can’t you? You're powerless in that thing!” Bill gestures towards The Axolotl’s human form with excitement.

The Axolotl only rolled eyes.

“It’s not like you can do anything either!”

“Oh can I?” Bill snapped his fingers expecting to do something but nothing. There was nothing. “The fuck?!?”

“Language!”

Bill just flipped him off while snapping his fingers an extreme amount of times. There was still nothing.

“Well shit.”

“Well shit”

“Bill what did I just say!”

“Ok pinkiepie, what do you want me to say? Well darn this stupid confuzzle we have here. Awww hanky strudel.” Bill said in a snappy tone.

The Axolotl just rolled his eyes, rubbed his temple and just regretted going to the Theradrism that day. Out of nowhere there was a snapping noise. Both Bill and The Axolotl stayed quiet.

“Dipper, why are we here? Grunkle Stan said he was almost done with the burgers back at the shack.” A girl voiced wined

“I just want to check something out, Mabel.” A voice that sounded like it was going through puberty followed.

Bill widened his eyes under his glasses

……

It was the beginning of summer and the mystery twins came back to enjoy another summer at Gravity falls. It was their third year coming back to it and they were so excited for it.

When they even stepped out of the bus from California they were suffocated by hugs from their Grunkles. That was the best part when they went to Gravity falls in Mabel’s opinion.

For Dipper it was all the supernatural research he missed out on during school. So when he came back he wanted to catch up on it with Ford.

You can tell that the mystery twins missed this place so much. It was basically their second home. When they reached the Shack they were excited to see Soos again along with his wife, Melody, and their new son, Stanley jr. Mabel was basically squealing over how cute he was.

They decided that to celebrate the twins visit they would throw a mini little barbecue thing like the normal families do. While they were shutting things up, Dipper was off to the side just watching. He was writing in his journal for the summer, deep in thought.

“Hey bro bro what cha doing!?!” Mabel exclaimed while sitting down by him.

“Hey Mabel. Just thinking.” Dipper said

”Grunkle Stan asked me if you wanted anything on your burger! And I wanted to know how you are feeling?”

“Huh?”

”Well I know how you get whenever we go here because of what happened and I just want to make sure you are ok and not overwhelmed.”

Dipper slowly went calmer after what his sister said. His shoulders weren’t as hunched over as they’ve been before. He slowly gave a soft smile.

“Thanks Mabel. I am doing ok.”

“Ok that’s good!”

The mystery twins just sat there in silence looking at nature things like birds, squirrels, gnomes eating a can with a goat, the normal stuff. But because this is Gravity Falls something had to interrupt the peace. There was a huge gust of wind blowing everywhere! Napkins were blown everywhere and Dipper got a face full of hair from his sister next to him afterwards.

“Don’t you love the summer breeze Dipper?” Mabel said while enjoying the cool breeze.

“Not really.” He said while rubbing his itchy eyes. The breeze had a burning sensation to them and it smelled like smoke.

“Did grunkle stan burn a patty?”

They both looked at the rest of the family and nothing seemed wrong. Every last one of them were laughing, enjoying food, drinks and telling stories about their year so far. Ford was yelling at Stan for using too much grease to make fries but Stan just rolled his eyes, which made Mable giggle.

“Not the burgers!” Mable said. “Are you sure you’re ok?”

”Mable shhhhh” Dipper said, trying to shush his sister.

”Hey!”

“Mable, I am serious, SHHHH”

They both listen quietly and try to hear at least something. Dipper stood up and walked into the forest that was near. Mable quickly followed. They walked towards the forest and the faint smell of smoke became more strong but was still breathable. The sound of breaking branches and crunchy leaves were as loud as an empty auditorium bouncing around an echo. The laughter of the shack became more faint and Mable was getting nervous. She soon bumped into her brother who stopped walking. She shook her head back into reality and just looked at Dipper in confusion. She then noticed where they were.

“Dipper, why are we here? Grunkle Stan said he was almost done with the burgers back at the shack,” Mable whined.

“I just want to check something out, Mabel,” Dipper reassured while inspecting the Bill statue.

The hand of the statue looked warm to the touch. Smoke was fuming out of the hand. Cracks on it seemed that it had grown in size the last time they inspected it with Ford. The twins looked at it in shock.

“We need to get Ford,” said Dipper.

……

Bill looks at the Axolotl with his eyes shooting out of his glasses.

“We need to leave, NOW” Bill deman.

“What, Why?” the Axolotl question.

Bill didn’t even answer and grabbed onto the Axolotl’s wrist and booked it. They ran through the trees and pushed away bushes in their path. Bill looked stressed and what seemed like he was looking for something? What was he looking for? Bill touched each tree they came along and did one or two knocks. The Axolotl seemed confused at best but who wouldn’t.

“Cypher, what are you doing?” Axolotl asked but Bill just ignored him again.

They soon came across a tree with bushes around in a loop around the tree. Bill went up to it and gave it one knock. Bang. The tree was made from metal not wood. Bill chuckled in relief knowing he found what he was looking for. He looked up into the high branches and then looked at his pink tall companion.

“Ok you look tall enough. Upies now.”

“What?”

“You heard me. Upies now!”
