"Hello, Pinetree, we meet again."

I felt my blood boil in anger at the sight of my old foe.

"BILL?!?"

"Did you miss me? Admit it, you missed me~!" He hadn't changed at all, had he?!?

"Hardly, you're suppose to be dead!!!! (y/n) killed you!!!!" I yelled.

He rolled his one eye. "What part of 'Immortality' do you not understand? (y/n) never killed me, just stopped me for a little while. I've been meaning to punish her for that. It's not fair to treat your parents like that."

My eyes widened at a sudden thought, making me stand up. "Wait, are you the reason why (y/n) went missing...?!?"

"Aw, you know me too well, Pinetree~!" he said while flipping his imaginary hair.

Anger was all that I felt. I found myself running towards Bill at full speed, wanting to rip him apart limb from limb. I leaped at him, only to enter a loop and appear under the tree once more.

Bill floated over. "Did you forget about all that I can do?"

I growled. "What did you do with her?!?!?"

"I took her back home where she belongs." he responded as if this was a casual scenario.

"What?!?"

He sighed. "Relax, Pinetree, she's fine. For now, anyways."

"If you even TRY to hurt her, I'll-!!!"

"You'll what?" He grew ten times more, glowing red, making my blood run cold. "You puny human mortal don't have anything to fight against me."

I stayed quiet, knowing he was right. I didn't have any powers like (y/n) or Bill did. I couldn't do anything to fight.

"Anyways, it was nice seeing you again, Pinetree, but I must take my leave now. And remember: reality is an illusion, the universe is a hologram, but gold, BYEEEEEE!!!!"

"NO-!!!"

I didn't have time to protest. Before I knew it, I was back under the tree I had fallen asleep, the forest now back with its usual color. I passed a hand through my hair as I tried to remember what happened.

"I took her home where she belongs."

Bill had (y/n).

And I had to find her.

I stood up, running as fast as I could to the shack. I opened the door to see Mabel on the couch. Her eyes widened when she saw me. "Dipper, you're back!"

"Bill has (y/n)." I spat out as I tried to catch my breath.

Mabel's eyes widened in shock and fear. "BILL?!? BILL CIPHER?!? I THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD!!!"

"I thought so too, but we should've known better..."

Ford came in, his eyes landing on me. "Dipper? You look like you've ran a marathon!"

"I might as well have. Bill's back, and he's got (y/n)." I explained.

Ford's eyes grew wide. "What?!?"

"What do we do?!?" Mabel added, now beside me.

"I don't know, but we come up with something soon." I answered.

Ford looked back at me. "How do you know he's got (y/n)?"

"He told me when I fell asleep earlier. I don't know if he's lying and just making a trap, but he might be telling the truth."

"And if that's the case, we better come up with a plan, and fast." he replied. "Where did he take her?"

"He said he took her 'home', so I'm guessing she's in the minescape." I answered.

He sighed at my answer. Mabel stepped in. "How can we even get in the mindscape?!? Isn't that, you know, inside someone's mind?!?"

"It is, but it's also a dimension in itself, there is a way to get in. However, it's not an easy process." Ford explained.

"To save (y/n)? We'll do whatever it takes!" Mabel answered, I nodded in agreement.

Hang in there, (y/n), we're coming to find you.

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