Gold Dust Woman (Stanford Pines x OC)

25.) Day After Tomorrow

who turns the wheel? who throws the dice? on the day after tomorrow

"I'll 'grammar Stanley' you!" Stan lets go of Celia's hand and hits Ford which makes the circuit break. "You stuck up son of a gun! I mean come on!"

"Stan, seriously?" Celia grabs his arm and begins to pull him, trying to force his hand in hers but he throws himself at Ford.

"Don't jeopardize this, you idiot! Everything's on the line!" Ford lets go of Robbie's hand to hit Stan.

"Guys, stop it!" Mabel tries.

Dipper and Mabel pull at Stan and Ford, who are fighting and yelling at each other. And just their luck, Bill comes up and they finally stop fighting.

"Oh no, it's Bill! Right? Isn't that what you're all thinking? Hey, Gideon, why aren't you dancing? Chop chop, huh?" Bill starts. "This is just too perfect! Didn't you brainiacs know the zodiac doesn't work if you don't all hold hands? And what's better, you've brought every threat to my power together in one easy-to-destroy circle!"

He burns the circle and catches some hair on fire. Thankfully, Celia's didn't catch on fire or she would've lost her shit.

"You guys wanna see what happens to your friends when you can't get along?" Bill asks, restraining Stan and Ford. "And you too, Mrs. Pines, you can finally pick a husband!"

He pulls her by her sash and everyone else begins to get upset.

"Did I just get slut-shamed by a triangle?" Celia whispers.

"I'll be damned if you get slut-shamed for something we never got t-"

"Will you shut up?" Ford groans.

"Yeah! We're not scared of you!" Wendy grabs her axe.

"Oh, but you should be," Bill snaps his fingers, and everyone except Dipper, Mabel, Ford, Celia, and Stan stiffen in unison and make brief choking noises. Their eyes glow yellow and roll into the back of their heads and their mouths hang open as they are lifted up into the air. "You know, this castle could really use some decorations."

The people who he was holding up are replaced by tapestries with pictures of them screaming in front of their symbols. The twins yell and look so horrified.

"Looks like it's too late for your friends, Stanford." Bill taunts before the kids are encased in a cage.

"Ah, kids!" Stan calls.

"But you can still save your family. Last chance – tell me how to take Weirdmageddon global and I'll spare the kids!"

"No! Don't do it!"

"Yeah! Bill makes bad deals."

"Don't you toy with me, Shooting Star. I... SEE... EVERYTHI-" His eye shows a picture of a galaxy as Mabel sprays paint in his eye. "Ow! Not again! Why?! Every time!"

"Nice shot, pumpkin," Stan calls before Bill drops the three to the ground.

"I just regenerated that eye!"

"I know that hurts because I've accidentally done it to myself! Multiple times!" She says as if it's a brag.

Dipper pulls out the height-altering crystal flashlight and enlarges their cage. Dipper and Mabel jump out as Bill continues to scream in pain.

"Save yourselves. Run! We'll take care of Bill!" Dipper says and Stan and Celia can't even bring themselves to speak.

"What? That's a suicide mission!" Ford tries.
