He has returned (Gravity Falls fanfiction)

chapter thirteen

Bill Cipher had indeed cleaned up the mess he had made with the help of Melody. She had the feeling that the boy at first did not want to clean up, because he actaully had no clue how. The same with his hair. Did his parents not teach him a thing? Was that why Bill was now here, because his parents had just left him? Or were her suspisions right? She wanted to talk to Ford later.

"Good job, Sweetie!", Melody told Bill and as a reward she gave him a chocolate that she always kept in her pocket. The black haired boy examined the sweet and then put it in his mouth. Bill before had never eaten a thing in this body, nor has he ever. Till now he did not need to. He only drank occasionally and that he did through his eyes. As soon as the brown square had hit his tounge a wave of flavour exploded in his mouth. Bill was convinced that it was the best thing ever. Except maybe having his powers back and ruling the wolrd. But definitely the second best thing. He munched down on it and swallowed, nearly chocking on it but playing it over.

"And what do we say?", Melody asked sweetly. Bill looked at her confused. His green eyes reflecting the light. His eyes were majestic, Melody noticed. So vibrant, like nothing she had ever seen before. Nothing a human could ever have. She was sure that her suspicions about the boy were right. He was not human. What that thing really was, she had no clue. The name scared her though.

"The magic word, you know?", Melody continued, "Do you really dont know what I mean?"

Bill shock his head. He was still way to concentrated on the falvour in his mouth. He wanted more immidiately. So he said:"Give me more of that stuff and I might know what youre fussing about." Only at points his real personality came out with Melody. She was too much of a mother figure to him already and he couldnt bare to insult her. All she had done was be kind to him and he would definitely spare her when he ruled the world again. She migth become part of his kingdom, not as his queen or anything, he was the ruler alone, but maybe something close to that. A good servant probably. He was gonna think about that later. Bill liked Melody.

Melody laughed at his reply, ruffled through his hair and said:" No silly, its 'thank you'. And if you want more chocolate you have to ask nicely. Like this: 'May I have more chocolate, please?' It is very important to be polite when you want the people around you to be nice to you."

"Uhh okay. Thank you?", This was a bizarre concept for Bill. All people have always liked him. They had to, or he would have turned them into stone or made them suffer like he had once done it with that boy Gideon. Where was he anyways? Bill wanted to see that Dude again, he had been fun.

"Thats it, great job!", Melody gave him another piece of chocolate. "You know, I will stay here with you while you have to help around so I am always there when you need me.", she continued. That kind of pissed Bill off because he wanted to destroy more stuff around here and maybe trick the fat man (Soos) into making a deal with him but Melody had more chocolate so he tolarated her. And really, he did not want to clean up more mess. Melody told him that he should order the post cards and she would help him so that was going to be his first real task.

The Pines were still amazed by what they had witnessed. Melody deserved the respect Ford had for her.

"Kids, I have no clue what just happened but you can continue to unpack your stuff I guess.", Stan said and the twins were very glad to do so. Dipper still had to get ready for meeting Wendy and his old friends. They left for upstairs.

"Where will he even sleep?", Stan asked.

"I have no idea. We have a spare bed but in which room he will sleep is a hard decision. If I could I would let him sleep in Soos's and Melody's room but that is a burden I do not want them to have. Your room wouldnt be so great and it stinks in there. I would love to have an eye on him the whole night but I have to meditate a lot to get in contact with the oracle. I guess it will be with Mabel and Dipper.", the man answered.

"You think thats a good idea? I am afraid he will murder one of us in our sleep.", he laughed at the idea of a thirteen year old trying to kill him, ignoring Fords remark about his room. Ford was not amused.

"I agree. I think we will tie him to the bed or something. With one hand only. If anyone outside finds out about this they will call the police and we will be arrested in no time but I think we have no choice and it is the safest option for now.", Ford siad.

Stan nodded. They left to get the spare bed up into the twins room. Stan knew that the twins would not like the idea of Bill Cipher sleeping in their room. But it was decided and he was confident that Dipper and Mabel could defend themselves. They were the ones knowing best not to trust the demon.
