Alcor's Tale

Lying isn't always bad

Dipper's POV

I lock eyes with Mabel. She seemed like she was about to cry and then I hear her quiet voice call out. "Bro?"

She seemed to not be able to tell if it was actually me or all a dream. It must have a hard time. We have always done things together even when we feud. This time we had been apart for the longest we had ever been. I had felt as if it was a thousand years in the blank space I trained in and it had been at least a month for her.

I smile happy to see her again and respond simply saying "Yes Mabel it's me." After the words had left my mouth I was tackled by Mabel practically jumping into me for a hug. Tears were flowing from her eyes as she cried tears of joy. Her hug was so strong it would probably crush a normal person but it just further enhanced the feeling of being back home. I wrapped my arm around her and just stood there in a hug for a solid 30 minutes of just hugging and Mabel crying. Eventually, we let go and started to talk with everyone. There were a lot of questions from everyone. Most of them being similar to if I was safe and one more being where I had been for the past month-ish.

It took quite a bit of convincing but I had told them that once the pyramid collapsed I was lost in the Oregon woods living off the land and trying to find my way back home. I had first thought of telling the truth but there were a few kinks in that plan. First is the fact that I was now considered Bill's successor and Bill was the cause of Weirdmageddon. Not to mention he had manipulated Ford so I had a good feeling if he found out Ford would not be pleased. There was also the fact that even if I told the truth the fact that they would believe me without me transforming back. Even I think it would sound strange if your great-nephew just came back and say "LOOK EVERYONE I'M A SUPER POWERFUL DEMON NOW!!!". Finally, even if they did believe me they could easily say I'm just a demon pretending to be a dipper.

With all this in mind, I decided to stick with the getting lost story. I felt bad about lying but they had already been through so much already I wasn't about to throw a wrench of being a magical immortal creature now into that. All I had to do is find the right time to explain it and work it out. Not long after the questions I and Mabel were told to get some rest. As I entered my old room it felt reassuring that everything was still in its place.

It was a little dusty. I made a mental note to clean it with magic later. Then stopping myself mid-thought realizing I shouldn't use magic if I was caught in the act or traces of it were left I would be found out immediately. I scratched the idea and wiped the dust off my bed deciding to thoroughly clean the old-fashioned way in the morning.

As Mabel turns the lights off and we both tell each other good night. I relax in the feeling of knowing I was back with my family once again.

Yeah but I thought it would be a nice treat for the readers since its been so long

You sure this is a good idea they might start expecting faster updates?

UMMMMMMMMMM.............no but I do have more time now so I can try and keep updating it might not be everyday but at least every two weeks should be fine.

Keep telling yourself that remember I'm gone the moment I see pitchfork/fire wielding readers at your door demanding more chapters.

Arn't you suppose to be strong?

Yeah but readers should not be trifled with

Makes sense okay and now onto the fun facts. All the codes at the end of every episode were written by the creator of the show Alex Hirsch himself.
