I'm baaaack... This chapter is gonna be really long since I promised that Dipper would meet the trio in this chapter but then I realized I was rushing things a bit too much if I just skip time again right at the beginning.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dipper's POV
Let's see... What other spell do I need for the demon problem...

I think the charm spell is enough, Pine Tree.

"What!? I didn't even say that!?" I replied, surprised.

Ya didn't. I read your mind.

"What!? Wait. If you could read my mind, why didn't you say earlier & we can just speak telepathically!? I wouldn't have to go through all that problem!"

W-Well, for some reason, we couldn't before. Y-You were the first human we couldn't read. Th-That is, until now.

Yep. And now, we can read your mind anytime we want. All of your darkest thoughts shall be revealed! Muahahahaha! 😈😈😈

M-Maybe the bond knew you needed some privacy? Or m-maybe it wanted to be fair? I-I mean... it wasn't really fair if we could read your mind and you couldn't read ours...

"Are you telling me that now I can read your mind!?"

T-Technically, yes. I-It's one of the powers.

Just as Will said that, he was elbowed by his twin.

Damn it, Will! Why did you tell him that!?

"Ohoho! So you have something in your mind you don't want me to know...?" I calmly said with a smirk.

Oh shut it. Anyway, first lesson, how to get in & out of a mindscape. Since you're already in, let's work on getting out since the trick is not different.

Focus your mind... Imagine a door... Not just any door, a door that leads to the normal world...

I closed my eyes and imagined a door, a simple wooden door... One that leads out...

Good... Keep visualizing it... Feel it, smell it, don't just see it...

And focus your power to make it appear...

I did. I visualized the door... I imagined it smell, the smell of new wood, of a forest... I imagined myself touching it, touching its cold and hard surface, touching the doorknob made out of metal... I focus my powers, trying to make it real...

I opened my eyes again and saw that I was standing there, holding the doorknob of the same door I imagined...

Open it.

I nodded. I slowly turned the doorknob and pushed the door. A really bright light came out of the door, making me unable to see what's going on, forcing me to close my eyes...
I opened my eyes again...

I was in the woods, right besides the hole I fell in earlier. I touched my head and realized that the horns are gone and my teeth and ears were back to normal.

Your powers are still weak at this point. It seems like you can only be in demon form in the mindscape, at least for now. We'll teach you to change forms later. For now, let's just focus on entering and escaping the mindscape.

G-Going into the mindscape is the same, except you imagine the door leading to the mindscape.

"OK... Anyway, let's head home, it's getting late."

So, we went back to the Mystery Shack. When we reach the shack, I tripped because of a rock & fell down another hole in the porch. Oh, come on! Another hole!

What's with you & falling into holes today? Are you Jen or something? Oh Lord! You ARE Jen, aren't you? What have you done to my Pine Tree!?

"Oh, shut up!" I told him.

"Dipper? What are you doing here?" I heard someone call me. I turn around to find my grunkle Ford (or Sixer, as Bill calls him, since he has 6 fingers in each of his hands).

"I fell down from there." I said pointing to the hole above. "You should seriously get that fixed."

"Come on, let's get you out of here..." He said as he leaded me through his lab. Oh my god. This lab is complex & modern as hell. No wonder he rarely leaves the lab.

Oh, look! A doomsday device!

I tensed up as I heard what Bill had said cheerfully. A doomsday device? Excuse me!?

Yep. Doomsday device. That thing can rip the fabric of space-time. Man, if I wasn't bounded to you, I would have used it to create a portal to my dimension & I would be taking over the world.

Well, thank god you were bounded to me. I thought as I turned to see the doomsday device Bill was talking about. It looked like an upside down triangle with a circle in the middle. Around the circle were some weird symbols.

"Um... Grunkle Ford... Why do you have a doomsday device in the basement?" I asked.

"Doomsday device?... Oh, you mean The Universe Portal? It's just a portal that allows us to travel to other dimensions. I made it a long time ago, a dream demon tricked me into building that so he can come here & take over the world. Luckily, I realized that soon enough so I blocked the way to his dimension. We should be good by now..." He explained.

"But don't you have to like, I don't know, rip the fabric of space-time in order to do that?" I questioned.

Seeing that he was not gonna answer that question, I stopped. But I saw something else that caught my attention. On his desk were 3 old journals, really really old journals. They seem to be from at least the XVII century. (A/N: Yes, in my fanfic, Ford isn't the author but some person from the XVII century) I went towards the journals to check them out. Since as far back as I can remember, I've always been interested ancient books like these. I check a quick look through the journals. They were full of information about magical & mythical creatures but, unlike mine, these were seen from a really negative point of view. I kept looking through it until I saw the image of a certain Razzle Dazzle Dorito.

"Oh yes... Bill Cipher..." I heard my grunkle speaking to me. "A dangerous being from another dimension..."

"You believe in these? They are clearly really old, when people are kinda stupid & delusional. I mean, do you know about the witch hunts?"

"Yes... But the portal blueprints are from these journals & remember that one-eyed octopus thing from when we first met? It was in the journals as well..."

"Oh." That was all I manage to say. But then I noticed that Bill had a whole chapter dedicated to him, unlike the other creatures which only had 2-3 pages talking about them.

Bill... I mentally asked. What the damn hell did you do to have a whole chapter just about you?

Noooooothing...

E-Everything.

Figures.

"He's also the one who tricked me into building the Portal." Grunkle Ford continues.

Ooooh... No wonder Sixer looked so familiar. Wow, you've gotten old, Sixer. I mean, look at this.

And Bill started poking grunkle Ford's cheeks while I mentally facepalmed. Luckily, my grunkle doesn't seem to notice.

"Come on, let's get you out of here." He said while leading me to the stairs back to the house. When we got out, I grab a pack of 'YandereChips' from the vending machine & went to watch TV (A/N: #productplacement ). There was an anime about a bloodlust yangire Nazi witch loli being shown. She uses a gun, just like in that book about witches said. Apparently witches used what is known as a witch gun, which shoots spiritual bullets instead of normal ones, at least, according to that book. The gun gave me a lot of ideas...

(Le time skip, brought to you by a bunch of people who has some to all brain function damaged due to excessive exposure to Hallucina-Puff Memory Gas)

Mabel and I were in grunkle Stan's car, on our way to the airport. We were going back home. I had managed to catch up with school and to learn the basic demon powers and still have time to do some extra reading. Apparently, years ago, there was a powerful Dark Wizard who terrorized the world... buuut he was defeated by a freaking baby. Talk about lame. 😒

Anyway, I kept quiet about Bill and tried not talking to him when Ford was present. I also managed to create my personal demon weapon. Bill created his to look like forks, Will's look like throwing knives we see at the circus and mine looks like the witch gun from the anime. While the Ciphers has to create multiple forks and knives each time they use the demon powers, I only have to create one gun which was way less exhausting. Apart from that, I also think I found a problem with Hogwarts education system. It seems like the school only teaches magic. If it were in a book, it would have been a huge plot hole. (A/N: That's right, I'm looking at you, JK Rowling. Only because I like HP doesn't mean I won't point out the plot holes) Like seriously, what about biology, math, IT and any other subject we need to learn in order to survive in the modern world. It's like the technology is stuck in the XVII century or something.

I looked out the window of the car... I wonder how things will go once I got back to England & the school year starts...

(Le time skip to the day Dipper was supposed to get on the Hogwarts Express, brought to you by a BEN Drowned high on happy grass)

Mom & dad dropped me at the King Cross station. Now all I have to do is find my platform. I took out the ticket & check the platform... Let's see... So it's platform 9 3/4... Wait, what!?

Nine & three quarter? How do you get there?

I don't know! I mentally replied. Are we suppose to run into the wall between platform 9 & platform 10 or something?

Just as I thought that, I saw a family(?) walking with a bunch of weird luggage. They must be going to Hogwarts as well.

"Excuse me." I said while running after them. A red-haired woman in the group turned around so I asked her. "Do you know how to get to platform 9 3/4?"

"Oh. First year at Hogwarts, aren't you?" She asked.

"No, I'm a third year. I'm an exchange student." I replied. I could be considered as an exchange student from my muggle school so I wasn't lying.

"Well, you just have to run into the wall between platform 9 & 10. There's a barrier there that prevents muggles but you should be able to pass."

Wait, so I was right!? I thought. Dayum! I'm so proud of myself.

"I hope you have a good time there. Ron, Harry & Hermione are third-years as well" She continued, pointing to a red-head boy who may be her son, a boy with black hair & glasses & a girl with curly brown hair.

I said hi to them & they saluted back. They said I should go in first since I was new so I ran into the wall & past the barrier. I didn't even flinch or expect an impact either. I've seen way crazier stuff with Bill and Will than this. As I went through the barrier, I saw a beautiful scarlet steam engine, puffing smoke over a platform packed with witches and wizards seeing their children onto the train. There it is... The Hogwarts Express...

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

I never promised they would introduced themselves properly. That's for the next chapter.

Also, @regal_princess , @Sisi_Dawnmoon , you will be making an appearance in the next chapter or the one after. I would probably throw @YadaGasai & @ImAnOumaFangirl in too, even though they haven't reply about this yet, cuz why not & cuz the ship. ImAnOumaFangirl & Sisi_Dawnmoon would most likely hate me because of this. Ahihi

Also, the song is JINGO JUNGLE, the opening for the anime Youjo Senki. The English cover is by LeeandLie.

That's it for today!

Chess_Cat & Seedy away! *jumps my pet Seedeater & rides him into the sunset*
