The Ruins

Part 3, Chapter 1: Mystery.

Dipper's POV

As Mabel went out the door to Candy's house, I turned off my life and blasted my music as loud as I could, "All I could remember baby, was that you were hurting. Baby, you loved too much to kill, to kill." I turned it off and went to the closet. I hid in the closet and put my headphones on. "Candy! C'mon. Dipper won't mind your little crush on him." my eyes opened wider than ever before. I had a crush on Mabel. Candy wasn't anything special to me. She was just my sister's bestfriend. She admitted she had a crush on me when we were 14, but I forgot about it. I had now thought about it because I had fallen for Mabel.

"And now I'm fallin' for ya, fallin' for ya. I know I shouldn't but I, I just can't stop myself from fallin' for ya, fallin' for ya. Can't hold on any longer, and now I'm fallin for you."

Candy was singing. I looked at the hole in the wall and dug into it. It led me to a deep, quiet, and dark place. I used my iPod for light, and there was a door, light shining through it. I opened the door, finding a square shaped like Bill. The lights were blue, and in a note said, "I AM BILL, YOU MUST FEAR ME." I walked around and found another note, "STAN, BELIEVE MY STORY." I was confused. I tripped over a wire and landed on yet another note:

"Dear Stan,

you must believe my story. I know I have done worse things in the past, but I forgive you. I really do. Stan, please. You must give me what you said you were going to give me. We could be best friends like we used to. Please Stanford Pines....

Love, BILL CIPHER"

I dropped the note. My iPod dropped, too. I couldn't believe it. Stan and Bill had been bestfriends then turned into rivals. I heard Stan walking through, "Is the deed done, father?" "Yes..." I hid behind a closet and saw Karlie step up. Her eyes turned completely blue and glowed as she rose up. She was above ground (about 2 inches off the floor) and she made her body look like Jesus on the cross. She turned into Bill, "Heyo Stanford Pines! Ah. It's nice to be back in Gravity Falls!"

I looked for a minute and Bill possessed Stan. They went back upstairs. I crawled out the door and through the hole. I opened the closet door and turned to see Mabel. Candy was dead on the floor and Mabel snook into the closet with me. She closed the door and locked it. She grabbed the pillow and the wrapped up blanket and fell asleep right next to me.

I held her in my arms. She moved and squirmed. It was about midnight when I fell asleep. I had her safely wrapped in my arms. It was 9:30 and the Shack was dead. Mabel was still asleep in the closet and I was wandering. I had gone down to the diner and Wendy was there with Tamry. They were eating pancakes and drinking coffee. I passed by, my pants sagging and my light beard showing. "Hey Dipper!" Wendy called. I turned around and sat next to them, "Hi Wen." "Where's Mabel?" "Sleeping." Tamry wouldn't look away from her phone. I are some sugar packs and a creamer thing. I walked out of the diner into the rain. I went to the shack to find Mabel in her skinny jeans and sweater. Her hair was in a messy bun and she had slippers on. She was making some cereal, "Hey Dipping Sauce." I waved at her and hugged her from behind. She turned around and gave me a slight kiss, "I don't feel good, Dip." I carried her to the living room and she lied in the recliner. It was raining hard, and I had to fix the leaks.

What was up with Bill and Stan?
