Stanford's POV:

"Let me go, you insane three-sided--! Wha--What is this place?", I rambled but quickly realised I wasn't where I was before.
What happened?... and where was I?

Bill Cipher rose out of the ground, sitting on a piano. He was playing and singing.
"We'll meet again. Don't know where, don't know when. Oh, I know we'll meet again some sunny day."

"Wh-where am I?", I repeated myself.
"You're in the penthouse suite, kid! The tip of the pyramid. Have a drink.", Bill answered me, snapped his fingers and a martini glass appeared in my hand.

"Make yourself comfortable.", he told me while sipping from his glass.
I hesitantly sat down.
"You know that couch is made from living human skin?"
I gave him a confused look but before I could say something, the couch below me began to groan as eyes, a nose and a mouth appeared.

I jumped up. "Aaah! Quit the games, Cipher! If I'm still alive you must want something from me."
"Ah, sharp as ever, Fordsy. As you may have noticed...I've recently had a multi-dimensional makeover.", Bill told me, his voice echoing.

He rearranged the room's furniture.
„I control space, matter, and now that that dumb baby's out of the way, time itself! But I wasn't always this way."
Everything fell on the floor, including me.

„You think those chains are tight?", Cipher asked, his eye showing a planet on a two-dimensional plane, which burned.

„Imagine living in the second dimension, flat minds in a flat world with flat dreams. I liberated my dimension, Stanford, and I'm here to liberate yours. There's just one hitch."
Now his eye projected a hologram of him pushing against the dome around Gravity Falls.
„As it turns out, my weirdness can't escape the magical confines of this town. There's something keeping me in."

„Incredible! Gravity Falls natural law of weirdness magnetism. I studied this years ago!", I thought aloud amazed.
„And did you find a way to undo it?", the dream demon asked me.

„Of course. There's a simple equation that could collapse the barrier. But I'd never tell you!", I snapped.

„Listen, Ford, if you just tell me that equation, finally your dimension will be free.", Bill told me, projecting himself drawing a smiley face in the midwest United States, then taking a bite out of the Earth and flying past his friends, who were destroying other planets, then to me, who was standing in the middle of a galaxy.

I looked at him confused.
„Anything will be possible. I'll remake a fun world- a better world! A party that never ends with a host that never dies! No more restrictions! No more laws! You'd be one of us. All-powerful. Greater than anything you've imagined! And all I need is your help."

„You're insane if you think I'll help you.", I answered, raising one of my eyebrows.
„Ha ha ha! I'm insane either way, brainiac. But have it your way. I'll just fish around and get that equation directly out of your mind!", Bill laughed, entering the mental realm.

I crossed my arms. „Not so fast! You know the rules, Bill. You may be able to haunt my dreams but you can't enter my mind unless I shake your hand and let you in."

Bill sighed and came back to the physical realm.
I was suddenly chained by the neck and legs.
„You're making this so much harder than it needs to be. Everyone has a weakness, tough guy! I'll make you talk! It's only a matter of time."
My eyes widened.



Y/N's POV:

McGucked laid out some blueprints. I curiously looked over Dipper'a shoulder.
„Alright. I've made some thingamadiculous robomajigs in my day, but this is the first one that won't be used for evil.", McGucked told us.
I slightly squeezed my eyes together. „Right.."
