Crazier things have happened - Stanford X reader

Chapter 38

„He has what?!", Dipper gasped.

There was a long lasting silence where no one said anything. We were all way too shocked to form a normal sentence.

„So this is how the world ends. Not with a bang but with a... boop-boop.", Ford then spoke up.
„Weirdmageddon.", I whispered still facing the mess in the sky.

Birds then suddenly flew over us.Various animals followed them.
Dipper got knocked over by a deer. „Agh!"

„Move it, stretch.", A gnome yelled.
„Hey, we're scampering here!", another one said.

Ford lifted Dipper back up. „The rift is shattered. Bill's world is spilling into ours and every minute his powers grow stronger."

Dipper's mind must have just clicked and began to work again.
„Mabel! The rift must have cracked inside her backpack. Mabel! Come in, Mabel! Mabel!", he called in his Walkie-Talkie.
Ford stopped him before I could tell them what really happened.
„Dipper. Listen to me. We can find your sister soon, but first we have to stop Bill. If we can blast him back through the rift he came out of, we just might be able to stop him before his weirdness spreads across the entire globe."

I stood there awkwardly, tears about to build up again from all the stress and emotions.
„Are you sure defeating Bill is even possible?", Dipper asked.

„No. I'm not sure. But being a hero means fighting back even when it seems impossible. Will you follow me?", Ford replied.
„To the ends of the Earth."
„Good. Because that's where we're heading. You also might want to step inside."
They talked without even noticing my presence. At least that's what it felt like.

Ford then grabbed my arm and pulled me inside the shack. I was dumbfounded and looked up at him, accidentally sharing a look with him.
„Weirdness wave!", a gnome yelled.

The wave washed over the shack, leaving it completely unharmed.

We stood inside, looking out the window and seeing all the new weird stuff that was created or brought to life by the wave. Ford was still holding onto my shoulders, stunned by the madness outside. We both stopped looking outside and shared another, yet awkward look.

He let go off me, while Dipper ran off in the shack to find what he called „fighting equipment" leaving me and Ford alone.

...

„So... that's how it ends, huh.", I mumbled looking out of the window again.
„No. We're going to stop Bill.", Ford said a bit louder than me, but still in a quiet voice.

I looked at him from the side, having watery eyes again. „How are you so sure about that? Fuck, he has Mabel, Ford! Who knows how many of his demons there are. We don't stand a chance against him."

„Hey.", he started, turning my face around to him. „You're hurt. In a lot of ways as well. We lost Mabel for now. That doesn't mean we're not able to get her back. The twins already defeated Bill like, twice I think. So we're able to do that too this time."

„This time is different, Stanford.", I said and walked away from him.

There was a short silence, before Stanford walked up to me again. „What happened?"

I slightly tensed up.
„Y/N?", He asked again, as he clearly saw my posture change.

I shakily sighed. „Bill... Bill talked to me. Earlier, at the droid crash. He somehow managed to get into my mind."
I stopped talking for a second to read Ford's expression. He had slightly furrowed eyebrows and a concerned look on his face. Yet he still didn't say anything and let me finish.
