~~~~~~~~~Third Person POV~~~~~~~~~

After a lot of thinking, Bill finally decided to go find her. For all of the crazy things he's done in his eternal now, this had to be the scariest thing he had ever done.

However, he had searched for a long time now, and there was no sign of her. She wasn't at the shack, neither was her car, and her room had been picked clean. But it was still a bit messy, signaling him she had been there.

Biting his lip, he flew to the roof, looking around. Has she left town? He couldn't do that, he was trapped in this town, he had lost her forever..!

What could he do..?

This was.. the end..

"HEY!!!" Something suddenly hit the back of his head, making him look down. He saw Dipper and Mabel Pines standing in front of the porch, both with death glares on their faces, Mabel holding a bunch of things to throw at him.

"What are you doing at our home?!?"

"More importantly, how are you alive?!?" Dipper yelled after his sister.

He didn't answer, just stared at them with a black expression. Regret was all be felt, maybe shame, he had lost her, and couldn't get her back.

Because there was no response, the twins shared a glance, confused to what was going on. Mabel looked back up. "Uh, hey, we're yelling angrily at you!!! Where's your confident reply?!?"

Again, nothing, Bill didn't care anymore.

Mabel turned to her brother with a shrug. "Maybe he's just a shy cosplayer."

"Mabel, look around us, Weirdmageddon's happening again! He's the real deal, again!"

"Then why isn't he attacking us or throwing those joke-like remarks at us?"

"I.. don't know.."

Glancing up once more, their eyes widened at the sight. There were tears now streaming down the demons face, heavy tears that he couldn't stop. He had forgotten what it was like to cry, he hasn't done so in hundreds of years.

It caught the twins off guard, what was so cruel that would make a demon, who caused the apocalypse, to cry..?!

Mabel brought a hand to her chest, letting it rest above her heart. "He's crying..!"

"Don't fall for it, Mabel, he's probably trying to manipulate us."

"But what if he's really suffering?!"

"He's made us suffer!! He doesn't deserve our help!"

She thought for a while. Yes, he was the reason Gravity Falls used to be in a constant danger, and now he's out and free, already recreating the disaster he made last year. But still.. she couldn't just leave him like this!

"Uh.. Bill..?"

He looked down, his eyes already growing red from how much he had cried, it was out of his control. Even if she was nervous he'd do something to her, they were still separated by the shack's weirdness barrier, he couldn't touch them.

"Why are you crying..?"

" ... she left, didn't she."

"Who..?"

"(y/n)."

They shared another glance, Dipper's glare only sharpening. "What do you want with our sister?"

"... to apologize."

"What do you mean..?" Mabel tilted her head in curiosity.

He stayed silent, and soon enough, he jumped down, just in front of the barrier as the tears finally slowed down a little. "Your sister is the one who set me free."

Their eyes grew wide, Dipper quickly shaking his head. "No, that's- it's not possible, she would've told us!"

"She didn't know I was dangerous when we met. I simply told her I was forced to be her servant for setting me free, hiding my plans to bring Weirdmageddon back. She found out I was only using her this morning."

"That's why she left in such a hurry this morning.." Mabel replied, fiddling with a strand of her hair.

Dipper simply shrugged. "At least that means she's safe from all this."

"Not quiet, kid." They looked back up at the demon, confused, his eyes glowing yellow for a few seconds. "I still sense her nearby, she's still here. Yet I can't find her anywhere."

"Do you think she's hurt?!" Mabel exclaimed in fear.

Dipper bawled his hands into fists. "We don't know, but we need to find her. Bill, can't you just stop this? Or go back in time?"

He shook his head. "With Gravity Falls' Natural Law Of Weirdness Magnetism, what I've already done is beyond my control. The only way to stop it is to defeat me."

And that was a difficult thing, that much they already knew, but..

That wasn't the worrying part.

Thanks for reading!!! 'Till next time!!!
