The day started with the twins and I in the Gravity Falls library. A few days ago at the bunker, Soos had found a briefcase which turned out to be a broken computer. Soos was able to fix it and at the time we're here trying to see what's inside.

Dipper: Alright, girls, today's the big day!

Mabel: Big day!!!

Dipper: Soos finally fixed up the laptop. If this thing works, we could learn the identity of the author and unravel the greatest mysteries of Gravity Falls! You girls ready?!?

You: YES!!!

Mabel: Oh, I'm ready, baby! *opens a book which has the picture of a baby inside which says Mama*

Dipper: *places the laptop on he table, opens it, and presses the button which makes the laptop start to beep for a while* This is it, this is it...!!!

Computer: *has a strange symbol which above it says Welcome*

You: It worked!!!

Mabel: Haha, YEAH!!!

Beep

Dipper: Ugh, of course!!! A password!!!

Mabel: Don't you worry, bro bro!!! With both your brains and my laser focus there is literally nothing that can distract us from- *hears soft music* Did you hear that?

We saw a boy who's surrounded by children. He had bright blonde hair wrapped in a ponytail, bright blue eyes, and an obnoxious voice. I already knew who that guy was, can't believe I ever met him.

Boy: *singing* All my life I've been dreaming, of a love that's right for me! And now I finally know her name and it's- sing with me kids.

Boy and Kids: Literacy!!!

Boy: *with the bee puppet* I finally understand what all the buzz is about! Reading!!! *with the book puppet* Gimme some of that honey!!! *makes his puppets start to make out as he chuckles*

Mabel: ... *takes a popup book as opens it on a heart page* Ba-bump, ba-bump!

Dipper: Oh boy.

Boy: Thank you, thank you!

Mabel: Just when I was getting over Mermando, of course you show up at my doorstep!!!

You: Oh yeah, I remember Mermando!

Dipper: *taking a book* Did not care for Mermando. *comes back* Ok, this cryptology book says there's 7.2 million eight letter words. I'll type, you two read.

You: Uh oh. Pine?

Dipper: Hm?

You: *point at Mabel who's making her way to the boy*

Boy: That's why we don't stick our hands in-

Boy and Kids: Other people's mouths!!!

You: *cringe*

Dipper: (y/n), c'mon, we have to start.

We type a few passwords before Mabel came over.

You: So, how'd it go?

Mabel: Guys, how hard do you think it would be to write and compose a sock puppet rock opera with lights, original music, and live pyrotechnics by Friday?

Beep

You and Dipper: WHAT?!?

Dipper: Mabel, are you serious?!?

Mabel: I don't know what happened!!! I got lost in his eyes and his ponytail!!! I'm gonna be so embarrassed on Friday if I don't have anything!!!

Dipper: But what about cracking this password?!? You know, Mystery Trio?!?

You: Plus, that guy's a doofus. Believe me.

Mabel: If you help me with this just a couple of days I promise I'll help you with the password!!! Please, pretty please!!! *whispers with puppy eyes* It's for love, guys!!!

You and Dipper: *look at each other, then at Mabel*

Dipper: Alright, ok-

Mabel: YES!!! *hugs you and Dipper tightly* THANK YOU!!! THESE GUYS, THEY'RE NUMBER ONE!!!

You: *laugh*

Dipper: *chuckles* Ok, ok, ok ok, shh!

You: Let's go home and get started then!

Mabel: Yes!!!

As we start to exit the library, I couldn't help but feel as if we were being watched. It was an all too familiar feeling, and I know something was definitely off. But I shrugged it off.

For the passed days we spent working on the puppet show. And between breaks, Dipper and I would try to guess the code. Before we knew it, it was Thursday night.

Mabel: *to her puppets* Goodnight, my babies! *takes the Gabe puppet and makes it kiss the Mabel puppet* Soon, Gabe Benson!

Beep

Dipper: Ugh, wrong password!!! Wrong, wrong, ugh!!!

Mabel: Don't stay up all night, Dipper. Last time you got this sleep deprived you tried to eat your own shirt.

Dipper: *realizes he's chewing on his shirt and spits it out*

You: *snort as you hold a laugh* Dude, Pine, chill out. We've got plenty of time.

Dipper: ... Just a few more tries.

At midnight, he went up to the roof to continue trying. I wanted to follow, but I let him go.

As I tried to fall asleep again, a cold atmosphere took over. It was the same familiar feeling as before, but for some reason, I just couldn't decipher what it was. It kept me up for about half an hour until the atmosphere felt normal again. Or as normal as it can be. This is Gravity Falls after all.

I was awoken the next morning by Mabel shaking me with excitement. We got dressed and went downstairs for breakfast. A few minutes after, Pine came in, and he did NOT look good.

Dipper: *enters exhausted* Hey guys... *yawns*

You: Yikes, what happened to you?

Stan: Whoa, bag check for Dipper's eyes! *laughs* Nobody?

Mabel: Dipper, I told you to get some sleep last night! *takes the blender which is filled with a pink liquid and dinosaur toys* Here, wake up with some Mabel juice, it has plastic dinosaurs in it~!!!

Stan: It's like if coffee and nightmares had a baby...!

Dipper: *grabs you and Mabel's wrists and drags you out* Girls, listen, last night I had a dream with Bill in it.

Mabel: Wait, hold up, the triangle guy?

You: *narrow your eyes* (So that's what I felt...)

Dipper: He said he'd give me the code to the laptop if I gave him something. Like I'd actually trust Bill, right?

You: Dipper, trusting Bill is the worst mistake you could ever make. I'm being one thousand percent serious right now.

Mabel: Don't worry, bro, today's the day that the Mystery Trio is back in action!!! I'll help you crack that code!!! I just gotta hand off my puppet stuff to my production crew!!!

You and Dipper: Production crew?

Mabel led us outside where Candy and Grenda stood with many of the puppet stuff.

Candy: We read the script, very emotional.

Grenda: I cried like eight times!!!

Gabe: *comes rollerskating* Hey, ladies.

Mabel: Gabe!!!

Gabe: I was just blading by, helps me dry out my ponytail after a shower. *takes off his helmet and shakes his hair around*

Grenda: Hubbity-hubbuty!!!

Candy: *whispers something in another language*

Mabel: It's so great to see you!!! I was just working on the world's greatest puppet show!!! It has puppets!!!

Gabe: Your passion is so refreshing, Mabel! Unlike the girl from last night's puppet show. Single stitch on one puppet, cross stitch on the other?!? I was like: Uh-uh!!!

Mabel: Cross... huh?

Gabe: Naturally I deleted her from my cell phone list.

Mabel: Naturally?!? *laughs awkwardly*

Gabe: I know you won't let me down though. Based on what you said the other day you must be a puppet expert!

Grenda: You know, Gabe, you look pretty sweaty!!! You should really talk your shirt off!!! Right? Aren't we all thinking that?

Gabe: Later, ladies! *skates away*

Mabel: GAH!!! We gotta up our game, girls!!! Did you hear that thing he said about the stitches?!?

Grenda: Don't worry, Mabel, your group can handle it!!! *breaks the Grenda puppet* ...oops!

Candy: *holding a puppet with many googly eyes* How many eyes does a face have again?

Soos: *trying to keep all the materials on top of the car* I got it... I got it... *falls with the materials* I'm not ok!

Mabel: AHH!!! Ok, ok, I'm back on fabrication. (y/n), I need your help designing!!!

You: But-!

Mabel: Get me my lint roller!!!

Dipper: Whoa, whoa!!! Hey!!! You just said you were going to help me!!!

Mabel: Dipper, this sock crisis just bumped up to a code argyle!!! The laptop can wait!!!

Dipper: Mabel, do you seriously think that your random crush of the week is more important than uncovering the mysteries of this town?!? You're obsessed!!!

Mabel: I'm obsessed?!? Look at you!!! You look like a vampire!!! And not the hot kind!!!

Dipper: But you said you were going to help me today!!!

Mabel: *with a random puppet* Well I can help you, with tickles!!! *starts to tickle Dipper who starts to laugh but punches Mabel's hand*

Candy and Grenda: *laugh*

Dipper: Ok, fine, you know what, I'll do it one my own!!!! *storms off*

Oh my fireball... This was not gonna end well...

Dipper's POV

I just can't believe Mabel!!! And this time I don't even have (y/n) either!!! Just perfect. I went up to the attic and sat down by the window typing random words as the passwords, everything was useless. Mabel was useless.

"Too many failed entries" I heard the computer say. I looked at the screen. "Initiate date erase in five minutes" No no no no!!! I'm gonna loose everything?!? I only have one more try?!? Just as I stared to panic, the room became gray and someone appeared in front of me.

Bill: Well well well!!! Someone's looking desperate~!

Dipper: I thought I told you to leave me alone!!!

Bill: I can help you, kid, you just need to hear out my demands~!!!

Dipper: *looks at the timer '3:47'* Uh, what crazy thing do you want anyways?!? To eat my eat my soul?!? To rip out my teeth?!? Are you gonna replace my eyes with baby heads or something?!?

Bill: Yeesh, kid, relax!!! All I want is a puppet!!!

Dipper: A puppet? What are you playing at...?

Bill: Everyone loves puppets, and it looks to me like you've got a surplus!!!

Dipper: I- I don't know, man, Mabel worked really hard on these.

Bill: Seems to me one little puppet is a small price to pay to learn all the secrets of the universe!!! Besides, what's your sister done for you lately?!? How many times have you sacrificed for her, huh? And when has she ever returned the fave?!?

Dipper: *looks at Mabel out the window, then the laptop '00:50'* Even so, (y/n) told me not to trust you. And she's never that serious about anything except that.

Bill: So you don't trust me but you trust her, huh?

Dipper: What's that suppose to mean...?

Bill: How much do you really know about her, Pinetree? When you think about it, she's just a stranger to you. You know nothing about her. So how can you trust her?

Dipper: ... *looks at the timer '00:20'*

Bill: Tick tock, kid!!! *offers to shake his hand as it lights up in blue flames*

Dipper: Ugh, just one puppet...?!? Fine!!! *shakes Bill's hand* So what puppet are you gonna pick anyways?

Bill: Mm, let's see. Eeny- meeny- miny- YOU!!!

Dipper: WHAT?!?

Somehow I was ripped out of my own body!!! I was transparent!!! I was a ghost!!! I looked to see my body rise up and here Bill's cackle bouncing around the room.

Dipper: What?!? This can't be happening!!! What did you do to my body?!?

Bipper: Sorry, kid, but you're my puppet now!!!! *cackles evilly as he throws the laptop on the floor and stomps on it*

Dipper: Oh my gosh, this can't be happening...!!! This can't be happening!!! I knew I should've listened to (y/n)!!!

Bipper: *wobbles around* Whoa, whoahohoh!!! *laughs as he wobbles to the mirror* Man, it has been so long since I've inhabited a body!!! *slaps himself in one check, then the other* Pain is hilarious!!! And two eyes?!? This thing's deluxe!!!

Dipper: I don't understand, why are you doing this?!? I thought we had a deal!!!

Bipper: Look, kid, you've been getting way to close to figuring out some major answers, and I've got big plans coming and I don't need you getting in my way!!! Destroying that laptop was a cinch!!! Now I just need to destroy your journal!!! Race ya to the bottom of the stairs!!! *falls down the stairs*

Dipper: *flies through the floor and a few walls until he gets to the kitchen*

Bipper: Human soda!!! I'm gonna drink it like a person!!! *starts to let the soda fall into his mouth without swallowing letting it fall all over his face, then he goes over to a cabinet and opens it, putting his hand inside it* So where do you keep that journal anyways?!? *starts to close the cabinet with his arm inside as forks stab his arm* Its gotta be around here somewhere!!! Boy these arms are durable!!!

Dipper: I've hidden it!!! Somewhere you'll never find it in a million years!!!

Mabel: *pops her head through the doorway* Hey, Dipper!!! I borrowed your journal to use it as a prop in the show I hope you don't mind I'm gonna go you process this sentence ok BYEEEE!!! *leaves*

Bipper: Sure, sounds great, sister!!! I'll see you at the show!!!

Dipper: Wait!!! No, Mabel!!! Don't listen to him!!! That's not me!!!

I fly out to see Mabel getting in Stan's car. Candy and Grenda were there too. I tried to stop them, but they couldn't hear me.

Bipper: Welcome to the Mindscape, kid!!! Without a vessel to posses you're basically a ghost!!!

Soos: Oh hey, Dipper, there you are!!!

Wendy: What up, dude?

Dipper: Soos!!! Wendy!!! Help me!!! *goes through them*

Soos: We're going to the theater.

Wendy: Hey, have you seen (y/n) anywhere?

Bipper: *shrugs* She's probably in the kitchen.

Soos, Wendy, and Bipper: *get in Soos's car*

Dipper: I'm gonna stop you, Bill!!! I'm gonna find that journal before you do and I'm gonna stop you!!!

Bipper: *with a creepy and robotic voice* But how can you stop me if you don't exist~! *laughs maniacally*

Dipper: Wh-...

Bipper: Oh, and Pinetree? Take care of my daughter while I'm away~

Dipper: !!!

Soos: *drives away*

Daughter?!? What did he mean by that?!?

I shook it off. I had to find a way to get my journal before he did! Then I remember: (y/n)! She hasn't left yet!!! Maybe I could somehow get her attention!!! I don't know how, but it doesn't hurt to try! I found her drinking a Pit Cola as she walked out of the kitchen. Expecting she wouldn't hear me, I began to yell.

Dipper: (y/n)!!! (y/n), it's me!!!

You: *eyes widen as you spit your Pit Cola and cough harshly* P-Pine?!? What the heck happened to you?!?

Dipper: Wait, you can see me?!?

You: Of course I can see you! I'm not a complete mortal! *eyes widen in realization before glaring at Dipper* You made a deal with Bill, didn't you?

Dipper: I uh... *laughs awkwardly* maybe...?

You: Dipper, that's the OPPOSITE of what I told you to do!!!

Dipper: It seemed like a good deal!!! Until he tricked me...

You: Bill ALWAYS tricks people!!! It's his way of getting what he wants!!! You NEVER trust him!!!

Dipper: How come you have so much knowledge of Bill anyways?!?

You: !!!! I-... N-never mind that, we need to get your body back!!!

Dipper: And my journal, he's after it!!!

You: *turn phoenix* Then we have no time to waste!!!

As (y/n) and I flew to the theater, a sentence kept ringing in my mind:

"Take care of my daughter while I'm away~"

I looked at (y/n). Did he mean her...?!? He was right, I didn't know much about her... and she does know a lot about Gravity Falls, its weirdness, and even Bill... could she really be his daughter...?!?

I shook it off as we arrived. Hiding behind the line of chairs, we overheard Bill talking.

Mabel: *comes running to them* Hey, guys, you all made it!!!

Stan: Are you kidding me? I would never miss... whatever this is!

Bipper: By the by, Mabel, were'd you out my journal again?

Mabel: I used it as a prop for the big wedding scene!!! I still need a reverend thought...!!!

Bipper: Hey, what if I play the reverend?!? I mean, someone's gotta hold that journal, right?!?

Mabel: Great!!! Let's go!!! *runs off*

After a ling while, we finally managed to find Mabel in her dressing room. (y/n) told me to use a puppet as a body, and it surprisingly worked?

You and Dipper: *enter the room*

You: Mabel!!! There you are!!!

Mabel: Oh hey (y/n) and floating puppet Dipper!!! ... AHHHHHHH!!!! IT'S COME TO LIFE!!!!! THE PUPPET BOOK DIDNT WARN ME ABOUT THIS!!! *throws a fork which lands on puppet Dipper's eye*

Dipper: Mabel, it's me, Dipper! You need to help me!

Mabel: Wait- what- Dipper?!? But you're... so much more of a sock than usual...!!! *looks at you confused*

You: *glare at Dipper* Pine here had the brilliant idea of making a deal with Bill and now he lost his physical body with Bill after the journal.

Dipper: It's the only hope to get me back in my body!!!

Mabel: But my cue's coming up any minute!!!

???: *knocks on the door before entering* Hey Mabel, do you have a moment?

Mabel: GABE!!!

You: !!! *quickly grab puppet Dipper (Dipper's arm) and hide him behind your back*

Dipper: O-ow-!!! (y/n)-!!!

Gabe: *looks at you emotionless* Oh, hey (y/n).

You: *emotionless* Gabe, been a while.

Gabe: *smiles at Mabel* Mabel, it's clear to me now that you really love puppets. I mean you went whole hog! And if you stick the ending, well, maybe later you could join me for a biscotti?

Mabel: *gasp* You drive a biscotti?!?

Gave: *hears the wedding music* I'll be waiting. *leaves*

You: *roll your eyes letting go of Dipper*

Mabel: Did you hear that?!? He loves it!!! This play has to be flawless!!! Can't we wait until after the show?!?

You: Oh sure, if you want the end of the world to come.

Dipper: MABEL, YOU WANT ME TO BE A SOCK PUPPET FOREVER?!?

Mabel: *laughs* I'm sorry, it looks funny when you're mad.

Dipper: *growls in anger*

You: Not the time!!! This is serious!!!

Mabel: Ok ok ok! Just take over for me until I get back with the book!

You and Dipper: *look at each other emotionless* ...

Mabel's POV

I climbed the ladder and made it to the cake as Dipper and (y/n) took over the play. I went across the rail and tried reaching for it, but I slipped and fell in. The cake started to fall, but something grabbed the rope. As the cake was pulled up, I started looking through the journal for a way to help Dipper.

Mabel: C'mon, c'mon, there must be a way to get Dipper's body back!!!

Bipper: *holding the rope* Hoho, but why would you wanna do that?!?

Mabel: *gasp* Bill Dipper!!! Bipper!!!

Bipper: Shh, you wouldn't want to ruin the show~ *points at Gabe who's among the audience*

Mabel: ...

Bipper: *lets the rope fall a bit* Whoops!!!

Mabel: AH!!!

Bipper: It's slipping~ How's about you hand that book over?!?

Mabel: No way, this is Dipper's, I've never give it away!!!

Bipper: Hmm, you didn't seem to have a problem taking it for your own play, or ditching him when he needed you. So come to your senses!!! Give me the book or your play is ruined!!!

Mabel: *sighs as she starts offer the journal*

Bipper: There it is!!! I mean, who would sacrifice everything they've worked for just for their dumb sibling?!? *reaches for the book*

Mabel: Dipper would.

Bipper: Huh?

I pulled him inside the cake not letting go of the journal. We started fighting for the journal when I see (y/n) raises her arm at me. I snatched back the journal and threw at her who caught it with ease with her talons.

Bipper immediately went after her and tried to reach for the book. I went from behind started tickling him. We don't know what Bill's weaknesses are, or if he has any, but right now he was Dipper and I know all of him weaknesses.

(y/n) continued to hover just above Bipper as he tried to jump and catch her. Eventually, Bipper was super tired and fell forward, getting out of Dipper's body. Soon after, he stood up, the real Dipper inside.

Dipper: Wha- Haha, yes!!! *stands up* I'm in my own body!!! And it's... just as underwhelming as I remembered... *groans in pain* Everything hurts...

Bill: *cackles evilly*

You, Dipper, and Mabel: *turn your heads to see a crawling Dipper puppet which Bill possessed*

Bill: This isn't the last you'll hear from me!!! Big things are coming!!! You can't stop me!!!

Mabel: *notices the puppet is on top of many fireworks* I'm sorry, Gabe... (y/n)...? If you would...?

You: *throw a tiny fireball at the fireworks making them explode and the puppets fly everywhere*

You, Dipper, and Mabel: *look at the shocked audience*

You: Sorry about your play, M...

Mabel: Don't worry, I've seen enough movies to know this is the part where the audience thinks it was all part of the show and loves it!!! Cue applause!!!

Audience: *starts to boo and leave*

Gabe: *stands up, his face filled with angered*

Mabel: Gabe!!! Stick around for the wrap party?!? We got mini quiches~!!!

Gabe: Don't speak to me, Mabel, you've made a mockery of my art form! Let's go, my loves. *leaves kissing his puppets*

Dipper: Did he just make out with his puppets?

Mabel: I might've dodged a bullet there.

You: Definitely.

Candy: *runs after Gabe*

Dipper: Mabel, I'm sorry about out this. It's my fault your puppets got ruined...

Mabel: Well, one of them survived, and she has something to say to you. *takes out a Mabel puppet* I'm sorry, Dipper, I spent all week obsessing over some dumb guy, but the dumb guy I should have cared about was you! *gently punches Dipper's cheek* Bap!

You: Glad you all worked things out. Mystery Trio? *offer a fist bump*

Mabel: *smiles and fist bumps you*

You and Mabel: *look at Dipper expectingly*

Dipper: *smiles* Mystery Trio. *fist bumps both of you, only to pull away as a sharp pain emanates from his fist* Ah, ow!!! What did Bill do to my hand?!? Ahh...!!!

Mabel: Nothing a little sleep won't fix!

You: And a visit to the doctor maybe?

Dipper: Agreed...

Dipper's POV

We ended up going back to the shack. Although, throughout the whole evening, Bill's statement just wouldn't leave my mind.

I woke up in the middle of the night at the sound of movement. I noticed (y/n)'s bed/mattress empty, and (y/n) was nowhere in sight. I got up, which took some effort, and after a few minutes of searching, I found her up in the roof looking up at the sky, a worried expression on her face.

Dipper: Hey.

You: *jump a little at the sudden voice, but relax when you see who it is* Hey Pine, shouldn't you be sleeping?

Dipper: I could ask you the same thing.

You: You're the one with bruises all over.

Dipper: That's fair.

...

Dipper: Mind if I sit?

You: Go ahead.

Dipper: *sits next to you*

You: Heh, found you.

Dipper: *looks up to see the Big Dipper constellation making him chuckle* Wanna know why people call me that?

You: *look at Dipper, now curious*

Dipper: *lifts up his bangs revealing a Big Dipper birthmark*

You: *eyes widen* Whoa...!!! That's so wicked cool...!!!

Dipper: *blushes* you... you really think so...?

You: Yeah, that's amazing!!! I wish I had something cool like that!!!

Dipper: *letting his bangs fall back in place* You have your powers, those are amazing!

You: They're more of a burden than a blessing... One time, I almost burned down the entire forest because of one measly branch. *sarcastic* Yeah, that was fun.

Dipper: Sounds like it.

...

...

...

Dipper: ... hey (y-y/n)...?

You: Yeah?

Dipper: ..... there's something that's been kinda bothering me for a while, and I wanted to talk to you about it...

You: Ok...?

Dipper: ... earlier today, when Bill had just possessed my body, he said something about me protecting his daughter while he was gone...

You: *eyes widen* !!!!!!!

Dipper: ... do you know anything about that...?

You: I-... Well-...

Dipper: *eyes widen* You're his daughter, aren't you...?!?!?

You: ....... yeah...

Dipper: Wh-... why didn't you tell me...?!?

You: *tears forming in your eyes as you turn to look at him* Because I knew that once you found out you would hate me and kick me out!!! It's happened before!!! *close your eyes shut* So go ahead!!! Yell at me!!! Be mad!!! Kick me out!!!

Dipper: (y/n), I'm not mad...

You: *eyes widen* W... what...?

Dipper: I'm not mad at you... I'm not kicking you out...

You: But... b-but I'm the creation of the enemy!!! I was literally created to help Bill take over this dimension!!!

Dipper: And yet you're not with him.

You: ... *look down* ... no, I managed to escape from him...

Dipper: *cups your cheek and gently lifts up your head to face him with a small genuine smile* (y/n), you might be Bill's creation, but you're a part of our family now. And you always will be.

You: *tears falling down your face* I-... I-I-..... *hug him tightly*

Dipper: !!!!!! *blushes, but hugs you back*

You: ... thank you....

Dipper: For what?

You: For everything.... Giving me a home, a family, *hug him tighter* ... and showing me what happiness was after a long time....

Dipper: ... *tightens his grip around you* Don't mention it.... (I'd do anything for you...)

We stayed like this for what felt like forever, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. I didn't care if (y/n) was a Cipher, I loved her, and I never wanted to let her go...

I'm sorry for the late update!!! 'Till next time!!!

❤️❤️❤️
