(Yes, you should be concerned.)

Song: Who Are You, Really?

You hate me so much for the last chapter, don't you? Don't fret, my puppets, for Bill Cipher will explain all.

Heheh.

Also, time to meet Nice!Bill and understand how off character he is sometimes.

Go ahead and read, then:

Mabel could have sworn that nothing made sense anymore. That was probably because nothing made sense anymore. It wasn't her fault she was confused. Bill Cipher, who had been stuck in her brother's head, was suddenly in front of them, talking.

"Bill?" Ford asked. "How are you...?"

"And that's where the issue is." The demon said. "You really shouldn't have let Pine Tree get that journal."

"I didn't mean too!" Mabel protested.

"Wait, hold up." Stan said. "One, how are you here. Two, what is the kid going to do?"

"Well, Fez, I can't exactly explain how I'm here yet. And two, nothing good, trust me, or I wouldn't be helping you."

"Who said you were helping us?" Ford said as he pulled Mabel and Stan into the Gift Shop.

"Oh, sorry," Bill said, "I'm here to help you. So get over it."

"But what do we need help with?" Mabel said.

"In case you didn't notice, Shooting Star, your demon brother just got some information on how to rebuild the portal." Bill said. "And trust me, with his new powers, it wouldn't be long before it's finished."

"Why are you helping us?" Ford asked. "Why not help Dipper and take over Gravity Falls like you wanted?"

"Oh, funny. You think I wanted to take over Gravity Falls." Bill laughed. "No, I wanted to take over the universe."

At Ford's small smile of victory, the demon scoffed. "That barrier around the town wouldn't have lasted long."

"What?" Ford said, eyes wide. "How did you know about that?"

"Doesn't matter, Sixer." Bill waved a hand. "And if that's ever going to happen, I'm not going to share the universe with a demon who stole my powers!"

"Wait a minute." Stan interjected. "He took your powers? Then how are you going to help us if you don't have any power?"

"If Pine Tree opens the portal, I can gain a physical form, which would give me some power back." Bill said.

"Does that mean that Dipper would also...?" Mabel trailed off.

"Unfortunately, yes." Bill said. "Your brother would be much more powerful. But you don't stand a chance against him anyways, so it's the only way."
