A: "stanford, can you explain what happened the night you and cipher fought?"
F: "..."
*ford stayed silent, not wanting to answer because all the memories were fuzzy except for one, which he didn't want to remember at all. surprisingly, bill was the first one to actually speak.*
B: "we...he confronted me about...tricking him...we argued for a while and then he left..idk where he went but after he came off he kicked me out and shut off the portal.."
A: "i see, well stanford, instead can you explain what happened while you were gone?"
*ford again, stayed silent until he spoke up*
F: "i...headed to the local bridge, no one else was there and..."
*bill stood there, realizing what fords words meant. his eye immediately widened as he looked at ford, who was looking down struggling to speak*
B: "sixer..why didn't you tell me!? you really would've- you really would- do that just because of me!? why didn't you- why didn't you tell me that happened..!?"
*ford looked away as the axolotl wrote in its notes, bill still staring at him worried*
B: "why..?"
F: "i...i wanted to get you out of my head..."
B: "BUT- YOU KNEW I WOULD JUST MOVE ONTO THE NEXT VESSEL, STANFORD! YOU REALLY WANTED TO KILL YOURSELF TO GET ME OUT OF YOUR HEAD..!?"
B: "I MEAN I KNEW WE DIDN'T GET ALONG BUT I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS THAT SERIOUS!"
F: "this was a mistake."
A: "this is necessary, even if it may seem like im trying to set you up in an argument, this is necessary for your trust and growth."
*bill was utterly shocked. he didn't ever think ford would even THINK about going that far. yet here he was, sitting right next to ford, staring at him as he confirms it. Everyone was silent as ford was sitting there, his leg tapping as he tried to calm himself down. The axolotl looked at them both with a bit of a empathetic look on its face.*
F: "im..im sorry, bill. At that time i thought that it was the only option."
B: "...i..i know.."
B: "it just..shocked me..to know that..."
F: "bill..are you okay..?"
B: "i should be asking you that! Your always worrying about me when you seem like you dont even know if YOU are okay!"
F: "im...im okay..im sure of that.."
B: "good! I dont want you to not be okay and worrying about all my bullcrap!"
B: "im okay too, even if it may look like im not...im just being a stupid wacky triangle." *bill chuckled with slight tears in his eye*
F: "your not stupid...your the one who made me able to build the machine in the first place.."
B: "yeah but its just normal for me to know that..for you, your born without knowing anything and you have to train your own brain before even learning how to exist."
F: "that doesn't mean your stupid.."
B: "i know...i just..idk.."
B: "i dont really wanna be here with mr' frilly pants either."
A: "that was...rude."
B: "yeah, says the one looking at us like lab experiments."
*meanwhile, back at the shack, everyone was getting worried. Ford hadn't come up for over 2 hours. Mable and dipper headed downstairs to see a note burnt into the floor with blue flames: "the axolotl wants to therapy us, be back soon!"*
M: " the axolotl!? O:"
M: "THERE WAS AN AXOLOTL HERE DIPPERRRRR"
D: "the axolotl??? Therapy?????"
*they both went upstairs and told grunkle stan what was happening before carrying on with their day*
