Tale of The Cipher Twins

Charper 2

Bill's POV

I found myself watching over the small town of Gravity Falls once more, honestly ever since I had tried to open the rift years ago and was banished to the MindScape once again. I may have made everyone into statuses but I never really hurt anyone. True they were awake but more like in a coma like state.

No one knew the true porous for that incident, if I could rip threw far enough, I could find my brother. I didn't care if I was a triangle! I had started to creat a body for myself out of the images that people see in their sleep, I only recently found this power.

I watched the family I was ordered to watch and had grown fond over the past 7 years. The Pines. Sure they screwed me over in finding Will but a minor set back is all it is. The portal could still work. If I could somehow get Stanford, Stan, PineTree or hell Shooting Star, to open it for me I could go threw to find my brother. I'm stuck in just this dimension between two.

I watched them. I watched in envy. I wanted my life back. I took a human for but they could not see me, after all, it was only dream matter. I walked around the home, well floated. I looked around, things flashed threw my memory, things I wanted to forget. My brothers...

Tad was still around, trapped in a human body, not knowing what he is. Ignorance is bliss they say, for the ignorant yes, but the people around you can suffer. I had forgotten those feelings long ago. I still barely understood it.

Pinetree looked in my direction, he grew confused and walked over to where I was and starred at me. "Um..." He said. "Grunkle Ford! Someone's in the house!"

I shook my head, "Shit PineTree!" I screamed holding my head, thinking he didn't hear me, I was very VERY wrong. His head snapped my way.

"What did you call me?" He stepped back slightly. Ford came running into the room. "Dipper. What is it? Who's here?"

I looked his way. Putting my hands together to beg him not to tell. His gaze grew angrier and angrier.

"I think Bill, but he looks-"

"Dipper." Ford stopped him. "If he was here the world would be gray would it not?"

"Grunkle Ford, I swear! He called me PineTree and he's standing right next to you!"

I looked down at him, time had done its work on Sixer. He was definitely older more wrinkles and silver fox. Same sweater and coat though.

I looked at PineTree. His hair was longer, same hat, longer shirt that came to his elbows, bigger vest to fit him, he was wearing jeans now and had a satchel for his things.

Ford gave out a sigh. "Bill, I can't see you, so if you're here, make it known."

"You're got gonna shoot me are you old man? If you are, I'm not coming out." No response. "Hey PineTree, mind telling Sixer what I said?"

"He said he'll come out if you don't shoot him." Dipper repeated. Eyes locked on me.

"Fine. You do the same."

The world went gray, nothing had color and time stopped. Ford stepped back to see me appearing human as he was. "Bill Cipher. What do you want?" He demanded.

I was taken back, I swallowed. "Honestly. I don't want anything. Well except one thi-"

"Why you damn triangle! You really think we'd help you!?" Dipper screamed. His reaction shocked me and he must have see in it my face. "Are you kidding me!? You REALLY thought we'd-"

"I had no intention to ask you!" I screamed. "If I did, I would have asked a while ago!" They stepped back and I put a hand over my coves eye, it was warm. "Screw this, I'm just one big idiot. Ok! Happy!? I'VE ADMITTED IT! I'M AND IDIOT!" I didn't know why but this was all coming out, like I was some PitCola and someone shook me and open me up. I was shaking.

"You can leave now Cipher. You're not wanted, nor welcome here." Ford said.

I returned them to the physical plain. I sat in a ball in the air and held myself. Stuck in the colorless prison. I removed a necklace from my white colored shirt and looked at it, I did something I had not done for many years, I cried. The small blue triangle wasn't much to any other person, but it meant everything to me. It was my only link to HIM.

I cried for Tad.

I cried for Will.

I cried for someone who I used to know and love. Much like that night...

Dipper's POV

I watched this demon for a moment after he returned us to our world. I saw him take out a necklace from his shirt. I saw him start to do something I'd never seen BILL of all people do, cry. He cried out a name, Tad, a man in town was named Tad but he was just a man who loved his bread.

Then he cried for someone else. He called for a 'Will' he just called and called. He repeatedly said he was sorry, that it was his fault he was gone. I just nutted up and looked at him. "Cipher. Why am I still here?"

He looked up and was taken back. "You're still able to see and hear me?" He said puzzled and wiped his eyes of tears. "How should I know? I'm just trapped between worlds. I don't make rules."

"This isn't funny!" I yelled.

"Dip? Who are you talking to?" Mable? I looked around and there was color. I looked at Bill. "Myself. Mable, don't worry." She left with a shrug and when I turned back to Bill he was just looking at me.

"Hey a PineTree. Promise me something."

"Why would I-"

"Never let her go." I stepped back a bit. "No matter what happens. No matter what you come up against, never, let go of Shooting Star. Just hold on, keep running, and don't stop to split up, you could regret it, until you die..."

"What are you talking about?" I exclaimed.

"Just trust me, never let her go, even if you think it's the best option, it never is." His voice was shaking, so I nodded and said I wouldn't. He smiled and I walked away.

What did he mean?
