Grunkle Ford and Dipper ran up to Mabel.
"Who's back?" Grunkle Ford asked her.
"Bill," Mabel breathed out. Everyone stopped, their eyes widening. Then Grunkle Ford turned to Grunkle Stan, and they both nodded, like they had shared some sort of silent message between them.
"Follow me," Grunkle Ford called, gesturing with his hand for everyone to follow him. They all followed him down into the basement, where he led them to a computer.
"This computer shows all the places of weirdness in the world. Gravity Falls stills shows as number one most weird readings, as per usual," he explained. "Stan and I both figured that if Bill were somehow able to come back, it'd be in Gravity Falls," he continued. "His statue was here in the forest. Either something or someone accidentally made a deal with him by shaking his stone hand, or someone had strong enough jumbled emotions to bring him back," he finished. Everyone stared at him, except for Grunkle Stan and Dipper, who were nodding like they understood this, which they did. Then Mabel spoke up.
"Couldn't we just do the same thing we did last time to stop him?" She asked. Grunkle Ford shook his head.
"I'm afraid not, Mabel. Who wouldn't fall for the same tricks twice," he said. Mabel lowered her head. With a sigh, she lowered her head, turned around, and started heading back up the stars.

Pacifica watched Mabel until she was out of sight. She was silently panicking. She had brought back Bill with her emotions she was sure of it. Then, it made her wonder... What exactly had Bill done to scare Mabel so badly. She shook her head, completely zoned out from what everyone else was saying. She figured she could just ask Bill, but she wasn't sure if he would answer or not. Meaning, she immediately dismissed the thought. Taking a deep breath, she spoke up.
"I'm gonna head upstairs and check on Mabel," she announced. Everyone nodded, but before she turned around to leave, Stanford gave her a look saying, we need to talk, without having to say a word. She blinked, then turned and hurried up the stairs and out of the basement.
Once she was in the attic, she found Mabel on her bed, crying and holding what looked like a photo to her chest. Pacifica took a step forward with her mouth about, about to say something, then stopped herself. She didn't know what to say, so she just took a chance.
"I'm sorry, Mabel," she murmured, loud enough for the poor brunette to hear. Mabel stopped, then looked up at Pacifica. She sniffed, but didn't say anything, so Pacifica continued on.
"You don't deserve this. How did an amazing girl like you end up like this?" She asked, mostly to herself.
"You... Think I'm amazing?" She asked. Pacifica nodded, then continued on.
"I know you don't feel the same way, so I'm honestly sorry for saying this but... I love you Mabel, and I have for awhile now," she said, her face bright red. Mabel stopped for a second, then spoke up.
"You're- are you bisexual?" Mabel asked.
"Lesbian," Pacifica murmured, looking down at the floor. But when she looked up, she was surprised by what she saw. Mabel was smiling, a real wide smile.
"I'm bisexual," Mabel said. "And I've also like you as well, but I was afraid to say anything, so I pretended I wasn't bisexual and tried to find a boy to date," she explained, giggling. Pacifica smiled, then started to giggle herself. Mabel ran over and gave her a big hug, to which Pacifica hugged back.
"I love you," they murmured, in sync.
