Don't mind me, just having a bisexual panic over how I drew Wendy 👀

~~~~~~~~~Dipper's POV~~~~~~~~~

The sky had turned to all shades of red, and there was a massive X in the sky. Ford and I could only stare in shock as a wave of fear covered my body.

"So this is how the world ends. Not with a bang but with a cuckoo." Ford commented as he spun a finger around his head.

"Weirdmageddon..."

We both had to cover ourselves as many animals and gnomes came running in our direction, one of them making me fall back.

Once I stood back up, I noticed Ford's expression was as serious as ever. "The rift is shattered, Bill's world is spilling into ours, and every minute his powers grow stronger."

My eyes finally widened in realization. "Mabel!! The rift must've cracked inside her backpack!! She must be in danger, and (y/n) is out there too, we have to go find them!!" I immediately started running into the woods, holding the walkie talkie still in my hands as I called for her since she's the one with the other walkie talkie. "Mabel, come in Mabel!! Mabel!!!"

However, Ford grabbed the back of my vest and brought me to a stop. "We can find Mabel soon, but first we have to stop Bill. If we can blast him back through the rift he came out of we just might be able to stop him before his weirdness spreads across the entire globe!"

"Are you sure defeating Bill is even possible?!?"

"No, I'm not sure. But being a hero means fighting back even when it seems impossible." He then stood up straight, and offered me a hand. "Will you follow me?"

"... To the end of the Earth."

"Good, because that's where we're heading." He then took a step back as he looked at whatever was behind me. "You also might wanna step inside."

"Weirdness Wave!!!" We heard one of the gnomes yell, noticing a magenta-toned transparent wave coming our way, and we both ran to be inside the shack's shield.

"Wait!" We both turned to see Leo walking over with a serious glare. "I'm coming too."

Ford shook his head. "This is far too dangerous for-"

"Mabel's my girlfriend, (y/n)'s my best friend, I'm going with you to save them and there's nothing you can say or do that'll stop me."

"Well, we could definitely use your magic for backup." I replied with a nod, Ford letting out a sigh.

"Very well then."

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

The three of us headed to town, which was an unbearable sight to see.. Everything around us was destroyed and in flames, and if we couldn't see the people running for their lives, it's because they weren't there anymore.. I didn't know if some had died, but I prayed that wasn't the case..

We went up to the bell tower, and I opened the window as Ford got a special gun he had made out of its case. It was specifically to take out Bill, but he only got one shot at it.

He pointed it at Bill, Leo and I staying as perfectly still and quiet as we could be; but as he was about to shoot, the bell was infected by weirdness and came to life, knocking Ford off focus and causing him to only shoot through Bill's hat.

"Well well well, and here I thought today couldn't get any BETTER!!!" Before any of us could react, Bill pointed a finger at us and shot a beam through the roof, breaking it on top of us. Leo was able to cast a shield above him and I, but Ford wasn't as lucky, now trapped under a pile of rubble.

"Great uncle Ford!!!"

"Kids, take my journals!!!" He yelled, pushing the bag over. "Listen, I know of one other way to defeat Bill, it's- Oh no, kids, get down!!!"

I was about to run over to try to help, but Leo grabbed me by my vest and pulled by down to the stairs, the two of us hiding from view as Bill lifted my uncle and made him float over to the other demons.

"Good old six-fingers!! I've been waiting an ETERNITY to have a chat face to face!" He lifted him higher, Ford letting out a small scream. "Everyone, this armageddon wouldn't be possible without help from our friend here!! Give him a six-fingered hand!!"

They all applaud, laughing as if it were some kind of sick joke.

"This brainiac is the one who built the portal in the first place!!" He then looked down at my uncle. "Aw, don't look so sour, Fordzy. It's not too late to join me! With that extra finger you'd join right in with my freaks!!"

"I'll die before I join you!!! I know your weakness!!!"

"Oh yeah? Well I know a riddle! Why did the old man do this?"

"This?" Ford imitated the way Bill raised his arms in confusion, only to be turned into pure gold a second later.

And I could only stare in fear as Bill began to scratch his back with him..

"Because I needed a new backscratcher!!!" His laugh was a cackle, one that taunted every mortal being here, and it only brought that much more anger to me.

I couldn't take it anymore.

"That's enough!!!" I ran over to the demon, rage being the only thing I felt. "Hand over my uncle!!! Or else!!!"

"Now isn't this.. INTERESTING!!!" He yelled as he grew ten times bigger, surrounding me. "My old puppet is back for an encore!! You think you can stop me?!? Go ahead, Pinetree, show me what you got!!"

It didn't take long until I began to panic, rapidly searching through my journal. "I-... I- Uh..!!"

"I um I-!! Do it, kid!! Do some brilliant thing that takes me down right now!!! What do you got, Pinetree?!? Everyone's waiting!!! DO IT!!!"

"BILL!!!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, laughing myself over as I bawled a tight fist, about to punch him right in his eye.

It did less then nothing..

I was pushed back by an invisible force, tumbling back until I landed in what felt like a pillow. I looked back to see a strange black aura behind me, and not too long after, Leo landed beside me with a sharp glare, helping me up. "What the fuck are you thinking?!? Are you trying to get yourself killed?!?"

Before I could answer, I noticed the journals had started floating over to Bill as he continued to laugh shaking Ford around. "That's right, don't be a hero, kid!!! This is what happens to heroes in my world!!!"

He snapped his fingers, and in less than a second, the journals were lit up in flames, getting completely destroyed..

"NO, THE JOURNALS!!!"

"Not much of a threat now, are you?!?" He Then turned to the other demons. "Now can anyone remind me once again why we came here?!?"

"TO GET WEIRD!!!" One replied.

"That's right!!! VIP party at the Fearamid!!! Oh, and 8-Ball, Teeth, you've earned a treat! Have the kids for a snack!"

Wait, what?

"Henchmaniacs, ROME OUT!!!" He turned one of the cars into a neon monster truck, most of the demons getting in before driving away.

The taller demon then looked at the small one. "So you want to eat them or something?"

"Oh definitely, let's eat'm!!"

We began to run almost immediately, trying to find a place to hide.

This... this can't be happening...

Tell me this isn't real...

~~~~~~~~~Your POV~~~~~~~~~

"Stupid, filthy, demon bars!! Why are they indestructible?!" I let out a heavy sigh, getting exhausted over how much magic I had used.

Bill had thrown me into the bottom floor of his Fearamid, the dungeon part of it, inside one of the cells. The bars that trapped me in were yellow, and glowed bright enough to make a human eye blind.

Still, I can't give up! My family and friends are out there suffering, I have to go help them!

"One way or another, I'm getting out of here!!"

"I'm afraid that's impossible.." A new voice spoke, making me freeze in place. I had never heard it before, yet in a way, it was.. familiar..

I looked around, forming an orb in my hands. "Who said that? Where are you?!"

At that, I noticed two hands hold onto the bars on the right side of the cell, where a small hole had been broken in the wall and covered by the bars. Not long after, two bright blue eyes met mine, and my blood went freezing cold.

No... i-it couldn't be...

The same (h/c) hair as me, the same (s/c) skin as me, and the bright blue eyes that could resemble white sometimes...

His smile was small, broken, his hair covering the right half of his face. "Believe me, I've been trying that for many years now.."

"... A- ... Aiden...?"

His expression went from sad to confused, raising an eyebrow. "How do you know my name..?"

I took a few steps forward, and I guess the lighting got better, because his eyes then went wide at the sight of me, backing away a little in surprise. "... (y/n).."

Hearing him recognize me brought a smile to my face, though I already had tears running down my cheeks. "H-hi.."

"You're okay!!" He held onto the bars once more, trying to get as close as he could as his own eyes filled up with tears. "I- I hadn't seen you in so long, I've always been so worried about you and Mom!! Wait, is she here too?!"

"No, she's not, I can promise you she's safe.."

He let out a heavy sigh of relief. "Thank God.."

Moments of silence passed by, and I then wiped some of my tears away. "S-so... you've been trapped here this whole time...?"

"Yeah... after I ran into the woods on our birthday, I sort of... Well, I ended up slipping on a muddy path and fell down a cliff... I hit my head and passed out, and when I woke up, I was here... The wound on my head was gone, but..."

"Bill kept you in here..."

"Actually..." He looked back at me, eyes showing concern. "It's more so I chose to stay here... otherwise, he would've gone after you..."

"What do you mean..?"

"We made a deal.. As long as I stayed here and did whatever he said, you'd be able to live a normal life without me.. Well, as normal as a life can be in Gravity Falls, heh.."

"So, in other words.. you sacrificed your freedom for my sake.." At that, I sat against the wall, a sob escaping my lips. "A-Aiden, I.. I-I'm so sorry..! It was my fault you ran away, I was selfish and got angry at you for no reason, and you suffered for so many years because of it..!! It's all my fault..!!"

"... Yeah, you're right about that, you dummy.." He replied, softly smacking my head. "But I'm also to blame, I made me mad in the first place, didn't I..? And I also said some mean things.."

"Heh, I guess we're both assholes..."

"Maybe so.." He chuckled a bit, giving me a warm smile. "But I forgave you a long time ago, (y/n).. So it's my turn to apologize for what I did.."

"I forgive you too, A.. I'm just happy to see you alive.."

"Feeling's mutual, sis.." His expression then went back to worry. "But we're both still stuck in here.."

"... yeah.." I looked around the dungeon, scanning everything around me. "There has to be some way out of here.."

~~~~~~~~~Dipper's POV~~~~~~~~~

...

Three days..

It had been three full days since the apocalypse began..

No sign of Mabel..

No sigh of (y/n)..

We were two far away from the shack to go back undetected..

Right now, we were hiding from the flying eyeballs that turned people to stone and take them back to Bill. Leo and I had somehow managed to avoid being seen through all of this.

To be honest though, I was starting to lose hope..

Once again, I pulled out my walkie talkie. "Mabel, it's me.. So far I have eluded capture but I haven't been able to find you or Stan anywhere.. I dunno if you can hear me but wherever you are, whatever happens, I'm going to find you.."

Still no reply..

"Don't look so down, Dip." I heard Leo say, making me look over to see him sharpening a rock. "We've been alive for three days in this apocalypse, that's more than some people can say. We'll find them eventually."

"I hope so.. But what are we suppose to do..? Where do we even go..?"

As if on cue, a pterodactyl fly by and bit off a sign, making my eyes grow wide at a sight. "The mall! Maybe they're hiding in there!"

"We can definitely check. But first.." Leo pointed over, and I noticed a disembodied head with an arm on its crown looking around. "We gotta get passed that."

Once the head was facing away, we both ran over to the front doors, Leo grabbing the handle. "Shit, it's locked.."

"Hey!! Hey you!!" We both jumped as we heard another voice, seeing the head starting to crawl towards us. "I want to talk to you!! I want to talk to you about getting inside my mouth!! I think I want to get in here!! Hey you, hey!! I'm talking to you!!"

Leo was already glowing purple as he melted the lock in his hands, quickly opening the door. "Get in, quick!"

We both ran inside, quickly barricading the door before the head caught up to us, and letting out a sigh of relief once we knew we were safe. "That was close.."

The two of us then started to walk around, calling the names of those we hoped to find. However, we stopped when a light shined on a table, revealing a plate with nachos and cheese.

"Huh, maybe at least we can get something to eat." I said as I started to walk over.

Leo then turned to me. "Wait, that might be-!"

As I grabbed the nachos, a net then rose up from under me, trapping me in plate. "Ah!!! Help!!! The nachos have betrayed me!!!"

Leo only pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance. "Oh my God you're an idiot."

"Dipper? Leo?" We both looked over as we noticed a familiar girl with leaves in her hair, my eyes widening.

"Wendy?! Oh no, you've been transform into some sort of tree monster!!"

She simply laughed before stepping out of the bush. "It's just camouflage. My dad gave me and my brothers apocalypse training every year instead of Christmas. Guess it's sort of cool his paranoia paid off."

She then shot a random bat which fell dead on the ground. "Nice!! Bat meat!! Let me get that far ya." Then she threw her axe in my direction, cutting the net and letting me fall safely on the ground.

I smiled brightly. "I'm so glad to find you!! I thought everyone we knew was gone..!"

"Hey, hey, it's okay. We have each other now." She pointed over to the other side. "And Toby Determined, who I accidentally mistook for a monster."

"This just in; an arrow in my shoulder!" Toby announced.

Leo gave a shrug. "Common mistake."

"We shouldn't stay out in the open for too long. Let me show you my hideout."

We followed Wendy inside one of the stores where the gates were closed, sitting around a campfire as Wendy started cooking the bat from before.

"We were playing truth or dare in the cemetery when it happened. The eyeballs froze Nate, Lee, Tambry, and Thompson." She opened a cash register, taking a dollar to wipe her face. "Robbie almost got away but had to pause to take a selfie. What about you guys?"

Leo leaned back against the wall. "I was in the shack, Mabel needed comforting because of, well.. I'll let Dip explain.."

"I was in a fight with Mabel when it happened.." I started. "Grunkle Ford asked me to be his apprentice after the summer was over, but that would mean I wouldn't go back home.. It would mean growing up without Mabel.."

"Oh, dude..."

"Mabel didn't take it well and she ran off into the forest, she couldn't even look me in the eye.."

"... C'mon, let's get some fresh air." She said with a smile, standing up. "Toby, you watch the camp."

He then came out from one of the changing rooms, looking all punk. "Don't call me Toby anymore, call me Bodacious T!"

"No one will ever call you that."

"Oh..."

Once we were up on the roof, we couldn't help but stare at the chaos that had been laid out in front of us. It really was a horrifying sight..

"The end of the world. Man, those death metal album covers got it shockingly right." Wendy said before drinking some Pit Cola.

I let out a sigh, my gaze focused on my feet. "You know, I used to think I could get out of anything, but this? The journals are destroyed, Ford is captured, and I can't find my family anywhere..! Bill said it himself, there's no room for heroes out here.. We lost.."

"Dude, we've defeated this yellow nacho twice now, who's to say we can't do it again?"

"Leo's right, Dipper, it's not over yet! Why is this time any different?" Wendy added to Leo's words.

I shook my head. "Cuz then we had (y/n) and Mabel.."

"Then we get them back. Look, this summer I've seen some amazing things, but nothing as amazing as all of you working together."

"But.. how will we find them..?"

That's when we heard a roar, looking over to see a weird monster bite off a sign, which revealed a pink orb with a familiar symbol not too far away.

My eyes widened. "A shooting star from Mabel's sweater!! She's in there, I know it!"

Wendy tilted her head. "Whoa, is that like twin ESP?"

"No, we don't have that. We do have this thing where are allergies totally act up at the same time." That made me sneeze. "Mabel meeds us!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's bust her out of that prison." Leo replied as he crossed his arms.

"But how are we gonna get out there without being caught?"

"I have an idea." Wendy smiled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The abandoned auto mart, free cars right for the hot-wiring." Wendy explained as the three of us followed her to the building. "We just drive out right to Mabel. I wonder if they have a tank, I've always wanted to drive a tank!"

"I can't believe this place has been abandoned.." I muttered out loud.

Toby then walked over to a car. "Ooh, an air freshener!! Finally I'll smell like a person!! Stealy stealy~!" Then something small stabbed into his neck. "It's gonna take more than one dart to keep me-!!!"

Many darts stabbed all around him, the rest of us staring in terror as Wendy yelled. "Oh no!!! Tony!!! Was it Tony? I can never remember his name."

We were suddenly surrounded by trucks many with bright lights, bikers in the driver seats, along with a strange silhouette on top of one of the trucks.

"Well well, looks like we got ourselves a group of ground walkers!"

"Ground walkers!!" One of the bikers replied to the other as he laughed. "Ain't got no wheels!!"

Leo growled in anger. "Listen, discount auto warriors!!"

"We just want to make it to that bubble out east!! We have no quarrel with you!!" I replied, only for a deep voice to respond back.

"Oh, but that's where you're wrong. Hands where I can see'm!!"

Not wanted to cause any unnecessary trouble, we raised our hands in surrender.

"Y'all fellers are going nowhere!"

Wendy raised an eyebrow. "Y'all?!?"

"Fellers?!?" Leo replied after, and my eyes widened in realization.

"Wait, Gideon?!?"

The little man finally stepped out of the shadows. "That's Sheriff Gideon!!! Under the authority of Bill Cipher, I place you three under arrest!!! Oh hi Wendy! Have we formally met yet?"

None of us were able to reply, and Gideon's minions then started pushing us forward as he proudly spoke. "Woowee!!! Look what the apocalypse dragged in!!! Y'all are in a twelve feet bucket of deep fried trouble now!! Ghost Eyes, spittoon!!!"

He snapped his fingers, one of his minions offering a Can where Gideon spat his gum out.

I let out a groan. "It's Gideon."

"And he's gotten folksier!" Wendy added.

Gideon only smirked. "My old pal Bill figured you might try to rescue Mabel, so he appointed me master of these wastelands and keeper of the bubble!!! My sweet precious Mabel is trapped inside and I have the only key, wrapped around my-!!! Well I wouldn't say neck exactly, right around this little pocket of fat under my head."

"Gideon, you have no right to keep her in there!!!" Leo yelled in pure rage.

"Bill explained it to me nice and simple!" He pulled out a paper from his hair. "She was always destined to be mine, and now that I have her in a cage she'll learn to love me!! I have an eternity to wait!! Ghost Eyes!!!" He snapped his fingers again. "Ready to escort our friends to Bill's dungeon?!?"

As the minions all picked us up from our shirts, I noticed a dark glow surrounding Leo as his eyes flickered between their normal hazel and a dark purple: "Listen here, pipsqueak, you have no right no right trapping Mabel like that!! She doesn't belong to you!!"

"Oh, but she belongs to you?! What is some lowlife delinquent suppose to know about taking care of a woman?!"

"She's my girlfriend, not an object, I don't own her either!! She's her own person, and it's her own choice who she decides to be with!! And if you truly cared about her, you'd respect her decision and let us save her!!!"

As his voice went demonic, he flipped back and bent the minion's arm with him, getting a yell of pain from them as they dropped Wendy and me.

Wendy then grabbed Gideon by the back of his shirt, ripping off the key before offering him forward. "Get back, get back!!! Or I will drop-kick him, I swear!!!"

Leo broke the window to the car behind us as the minions backed away from us, then Gideon glared back at her. "You'll never get away with this, ya hear me?!"

"Guess what?!? We already DID!!!" She kicked him forward, causing him to crash into his minions as the three of us got into the car, Wendy in the driver's seat, me in the passenger seat, and Leo in the back.

Wendy glanced back with a smile. "Dude, that was awesome!!"

"Same goes for you, now hit the gas!!"

Wendy stomped the gas peddle, and I quickly went over the plan. "Okay, all we have to do is outrace Gideon's henchmen, unlock the bubble, save Mabel, save the world!"

When she crashed into a mailbox, I instantly froze. "Quick question, did you ever get your driver's license?"

"Definitely not!!"

"ARM!!!" Leo yelled as he leaned forward, Wendy managing to drive around the head from earlier, but now driving straight for a weirdness bubble!

"Watch it!!! Go around that bubble field!!!"

"No way around, we're going through!!! Hold on to something!!!" She yelled, the two of us doing as told as we screamed in terror.

As we we through the first bubble, we turned into- ... birds?! Thankfully it didn't last long. We entered about three more, turning into anime characters, meat products, and the last one... I didn't know what we were, but we looked horrible!!!

Unfortunately though, the trucks from Gideon's goons started to surrounded us, pushing us from all directions until Wendy sped up and drove off a small hill.

We didn't stick the landing, and our car crashed into the ground, rolling for a while until it finally stopped.

I couldn't bare the pain that affected my body, but it was too early to give up..

Mabel was so close now..

As I crawled out, a cloaked figure appeared in front of me, making my skin grow even paler. But when he reached up and pulled off his hood, my eyes grew wide once again.

"Soos?!?"

"Heya, Dipper! How's it hanging?"

"Soos, it's so good to see you!!"

"You too, dude!"

Leo fell out and onto his side, while Wendy peeked out and looked over. "Soos?"

"Handyman of the apocalypse at your service!"

"How'd you-?!? Where'd you-?!?"

He quickly ran over, helping Leo stand back up before helping Wendy out of the car, carefully holding her arm. "I've been wandering the plains like a desperado, helping strangers, I guess there are some folk songs about me now. Let me see what the damage is here. ... Huh, well the good news is, your arm is okay."

Leo dusted off his wing. "So what's the bad news?"

"Bad news is, we're surrounded, dudes."

That's when we finally noticed all the trucks that were around us, Gideon standing on top of the one that blocked us from the bubble.

"Woowee!!! I dare say y'all almost had a jump on me there for a second, but this ain't your Gravity Falls anymore!!! Out here, I win!!!" He clapped his hands, making Ghost Eyes give him a horn that was heard for miles. "Bill's henchbats will be here any minute to retrieve y'all! Mabel's mine now!!!"

"... Is she?"

He looked down at me, confused to what I meant. "Well, yeah, I have her trapped! Ergo, Mabel is mine!!"

"Gideon, listen to me. If I've learned anything this summer is that you can't force someone to love you.. The best you can do is try to be someone worthy of loving.."

"Oh I'm worthy of loving!! These prisoners love me!!"

The men around him all cheered, but I continued to speak. "But Mabel doesn't, because you're selfish. But you can change! Bill thinks there's no heroes in this world, but if we work together and fight back we can defeat him! You wanna be Mabel's hero? Stand up to Bill and let us save her!"

"That's crazy!!! Y-you know what Bill would do to me if that happens!!!"

His minion Ghost Eyes looked up at him. "What, are you scared of Bill?"

"No, I just- it's a complicated situation!!"

I raised the key in my hands a bit. Look inside, Gideon! If all of this is for Mabel then ask yourself what Mabel would want you to do..!"

There was a change in his expression as he turned around, waiting a few seconds before facing us again. "... Dipper..? Will you tell her what I did..?"

"Of- Of course..!"

"I hope you're right about this.." He then looked at his minions. "Guys, new plan; Bill's minions are gonna be on us in seconds, but I'm not gonna let that dumb triangle be the lord of me!!! Y'all ready for a good old-fashioned prison brawl?!?"

"We're behind you for life, brother!!!" Ghost Eyes replied.

Another minion then stepped forward. "Fighting children is boring, but fighting a chaos god sounds fun!!!"

"Let's do this!!!" And with that, they all drove out of our view.

Soos wiped off his sweat. "Woo! And I thought I was gonna have to throw down!"

It only took us a short while to get to the entrance of the bubble, and once there, I looked back at everyone. "Okay, remember, guys; this is a prison bubble designed by Bill. We've gotta prepare ourselves for what we find in here."

"Whatever it is, we'll do it together!" Soos reached his hand. "For Mabel!"

Leo placed his hand in top. "For Mabel!"

"For Mabel!" Wendy followed.

I smiled at them, placing my hand above. "For Mabel!"

We then pulled our hands away, unlocked the bubble, and with fear in our hearts, stepped inside the prison..

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