Much work has been put into Bill's book, but after countless sleepless nights, a thousand breakdowns, a myriad of crises, this triangular shape had finally done it...he had made his own book.Similar to Ford's  journals, Bill poured his own sinister, hidden, machiavellic thoughts onto a conglomeration of pages and a cover the average person would call a book.
Thats was his work.
His pride.
His escape.
His everything.
However, it was not that easy.For him to be released someone had to find it and willingly make a deal with him, something thats was close to impossible, given the event of weirdmaggedon.No sane person would free him, not a single being willl agree with such thing, no individual would want to experience that nightmare again.Afterall, why would they?
So no, it was not that simple.He had to get someone from outside, someone who does not hold any idea of what happened there, someone clueless and easy to manipulate.He xould easily mend the mind of a human through his book.He did all the petty things humans do in order to get an emotional reaction out of someone.He shared his life.
Personal life.
Backstory.
Background.
Origin story?
Whatever you wish to call it, he did it.
Although the chances were low, the probability of one coming to this forgotten city in the middle of nowhere and finding his book was close to zero, Bill was determined to send it to his beloved 3rd dimension, but he also had to be very carefull when and where.
What id Ford finds it?What if that annoying kid pinetree does?That could ruin the already low chances even more, but there was not much eh could do.The book would be his one and only interaction outside this prison who had become his home, he has no way of knowing what the people in the 3rd dimension are doing before sending it, so he took a deep breath, let out a sigh and hoped for the best.

"Come on!There is not much left to the next gas station, just go on for a little bit!"You exclaimed at your car, like it could hear you and care anyway.It was night, you were driving and had just entered a forest when you noticed the gas was running low.The GPS showed there was a gas station not so fat away, but your car had to exit the neverending forest first in order to find it.That seemed to be a problem, as it was starting to move slower and slower by the minute until it finally stopped.As if it wasn't bad enough, soon after the rain started.You groaned and placed your hands on your head, sighing snd crying out of frustration.You got out, you had no other choice anyway, and tried to push you car forward.That didn't really work, because it was so full with your stuff it gained another 100kg.You struggled for a full hour, your clothes were soaking wet and you also began feeling hungry.
What an unfortunate series of events.
You got into the car again and tried to call for help.
No signal.
Of course there was no signal, you were in the middle of nowhere.Frustrated, you took your backpack and started walking on your own to the neareste gas station.After 15 minutes of walking, you saw a sign.
"This might be the gas station!"you thought.After flashing the light over it, you read "Welcome to Gravity Falls!".
"What-"What even was this place?It wasn't even on the map, the GPS never mentioned it, and you looked for the nearest civilisation after seeing your car stopped, but the only thng that appeared on the map was that gas station
"Weird"You said to yourself."Maybe I missed it when it looked on the map"
Whatever was the case, you were happy.There seemed to be a town nearby, which was a good thing!You started walkikg into the woods, a little bit scared, until you saw something that seemed to be emmiting light.It was, a house?You approached it, timidly, unsure of what kind of people lived there, the town was not on the map, maybe it's a place people should't stop by, maybe it was dangerous or something.You had no other option, though, so you walked to the door and knocked on it, a bit embarrassed, afterall, your clothes were wet and full of dirt, you didn't look presentable and were unsure if these people will let you in, if they were to answer.
A sound was hear behind the door.A tall, chubby guy opened the door for you, he smiled before saying
"Oh hello there, stranger!I'm Mr.Mystery, but everybody calls me Soos!"
The guy seemed friendly, you smiled back to him snd responded
"Hi Soos!I'm y/n, nice to meet you!I was wondering if you could help me with something.You see, my car stopped in the forest and I need to be in California in 2 days to claim my spot for university, could you help me get my car to the nearest gas station?"
"Oh sorry dude, the rain's to heavy to go into the forest right now, and it's also very dark, you don't want a gnome to bite on your ankle without any warning!They may be small, but those dudes terrify me.And the other problem is that, if there is any pinata in the darkness, we would miss it!I do not like to waste opportunities yk?"
You stared snd blinked at him, what was this guy on?Gnomes?Pinatas?He for sure was crazy, or maybe he was on some shit, you didn't know, you didn't care, all you wanted to do was get your car out of the forest.
"Um..That's t-totally understandable...?"You stuttered, not knowing how you should respond to this.You blinked again trying to form a coherent sentence.
"So, Soos...is there any hotel nearby, or anything?I need a place to stay for the nught and clean up, and I'm unsure if I can finf the way to my car through the darkness"
Soos smiled again and hugged you, despite you being wet and having mud on your clothes here and there.
"Why didn't you say so, dude?You can stay for the night at the Mistery Shack!Not only do we offer perfectly clean rooms, but also a lot of unique souvenirs you sure won't find in any place!"
You looked at Soos, perplexed.Is this guy really friendly or just a weirdo?You began to question your decisions but going back to the car was not a wise decision, so you decided to stay for the  night.When you walked in, you were greeted by a red haired girl that seemed close to your age.
"Wendy, where are the kids?"Soos asked.
"Idk man, Dipper is in the garage investigating that computer or something, and Mabel said she went to look for some games, as the electricity is not working due to the storm"The girl replied.
"Also, who's the newcomer?"
Soos looked and you and back at Wendy, before smiling "I just find this girl at the door, she may be just a regular costumer or may work for the CIA, that computer is emmiting some weird energy yk?Those guy came here once fot Stanley, might come again...and when they do, I'll be ready!"Soos put on a serious face and clenched his fist.The red haired girl rolled her eyes and smiled "Don't worry, he is not serious"
"Oh but I'm serious!"Soos interrupted.
"Yeah anyway"The girl spoke"I'm Wendy btw!Nice to meet you!
"I'm y/n!"You smiled at her before shaking her hand.
"Follow me, I'll show you where the bathroom is, I guess you may want to clean up a bit"Wendy made a hand gesture to you.You smiled akwardky and followed her.Before entering she gave you some clothes and said "These are Mabel's, dw she won't be mad for borrowing she will for sure understand, I will explain the situation to her for you"You thanked her, not knowing who Mabel even was.
When you finished showering and put on the clothes, you started in the mirror for some good 5 minutes.The outfit was actually nice, a light brownish sweater and a brown  skirt, this Mabel must have good taste.When you got out of the barhroom, you saw Wendy, Soos ,a long brown haired girl playing some games on the floor.
"Wanna join us?"The brown haired girl said.You politely declined and she reponded"Ok then!"She looked and Soos and Wendy before saying!"I'll be back, I'm going to show her the room where she will be staying for the night"she took yout hand and dragged you upstairs, she opened a door to a small room with a one sized bed in it."These used to be me and my brother's room, but we no longer sleep here because this room is making us feel...uneasy"You wondered what part of this room made them uneasy, it looked like a regular room, fear starting to takeover you, however.
"And why is that?"You asked her, just to make sure.She looked at you, then she looked away timidly, then she smiled weakly and shrugged"Idk".You frowned, these people were kinda weird.Snapping you out of thought, the girl said"Anyway, I'll return to the living room now, call us if there is any problem, Mabel's the name btw!"She shook hands with you and then walked away happily.You entered the so called scary room and layed on the bed, looking around.Nothing in particular was creepy, the only out of place thing was that glass with a triangle in it but you shook it of saying it's for aesthetic purposes and driftrd asleep anyway.
