It's a story of girl saves boy. Boy is nerd. Girl is flattered by his awkwardness. They go on date. Fall in love. Get married. Sounds like a classic right? No? Good. I didn't think so. Because nothing is ever that simple. Not in Gravity Falls and mo...
Sorry Peoples but not a lot of case files will be made from here out. They are hard to make SINCE I HAVE TO RESEARCH EVERYTHING and I'm running out of characters i can do. I'm really getting into this story now. I'm going to use both [possibly] connected and non-connected universes so please don't get mad at me when you end up with a dimension that isn't Disney. Thanks.
E/A/N
I picked myself up off the ground with a small groan. I had hit hard. I looked around. I was in a space that definitely wasn't the Mystery Shack.
"Welcome back to the mindscape, doll." I looked up to see the stupid glowing gold suit of Bill Cipher. "It's been a while since I actually talked to you."

"Cipher. Dammit it!" I hit the ground with my fist. "She got to me!"
"Actually the names Bill." He got really close to me with a bright, glowing, golden grin. He put out his hand for me to shake.
"You are dumber than I thought. Why would I shake your hand? I know how demon deals work." I looked at my hand. "It's not like I haven't made one before."
"You are smart." He crossed his arms over his chest as he floated above me. "I'm glad Lucy chose you."
"Yeah well I'm not." I crossed my own arms and legs and allowed myself to float up above the ground beside Bill. "I'm not glad she chose you either."
"Oh? And why is that?" he smiled widely.
"Oh, I don't know... maybe it's because you're an evil dream demon who is trying to control the world... again!" I turned away from him. I wasn't happy to be here because it meant I wasn't there... and if I wasn't there, Lucy was... and that was bad. The problem was I couldn't do anything yet because Lucy hadn't tried anything. She hadn't even thought about anything bad yet. It made me wonder where she was and who she was with. If she was still knocked out then I would be too. Maybe Ford actually managed to get my body tied up.
"Ooh. Would you look at that?" Bill's voice was grating, almost fake-ly electronic sounding, and super annoying. "I guess she wants us to see this..."
"What in the nightmare realm are you going on about?" I turned around. Floating in front of us was a large flat screen type TV screen. On it was the view from the eyes on my body, but everything had a slight gold hue to it. The view shifted as Lucy looked around. It fell on the faces of Mason, Mable, and Ford. Then it shifted to the ropes that bound my body tightly to a chair. "Good. They did get that done then..."
Bill looked at me. "How did you know she w-?"
"That she was going to take me over? You haven't been in the same body as her half your life. I can tell when she's going to take over but I can't prevent it." I stared at the screen and began to feel the hostile intent towards the entire group coming from Lucy. It sent shivers up my spine. "I can warn others because she's still new, unlike you. She causes me to black out too so it's simple to tell. It's not a seamless operation for her like it is for you."
Yeah I can't believe I was doing that either. In the mindscape Bill is pretty low powered and can't cause much more than psychiatric damage so he becomes easy to handle. So easy he's almost a friend. I don't like it but when you get trapped in the mindscape so often you learn to get along with whatever is there... and in this case that is Bill Cipher. He really was interesting. He was an 'all knowing being' according to him, but this wasn't apparent. He either didn't know some things or he ignored what he didn't like. This was my life. Bill and I weren't enemies or allies. More just like 'Oh hi. You exist. Wait I don't care and neither do you' and a lot of small talk. He never tried to stop me when I tried to overpower Lucy so I don't think he really ever cared about her either.
I was pulled away from my thought when a shock went through my system. My body telling me something wasn't right. I looked back at the screen.
Lucy had managed to get my hands free and was untying my feet. "Come on, Big Dipper... Sweater I thought we were friends..." her voice was cool and calculating. This was a threat but I couldn't go until she actually got distracted form holding me and focused on causing harm. Then we would be stuck in another short fist fight for control of my body which I would eventually win when my body rejected Lucy as the master of my flesh. Lucy got untied and grabbed a letter opener off the coffee table. "I'm coming for you Big Dipper!" the view shook as she ran about the Shack in a blind attempt to find Mason. I hoped he was well hidden until the screen showed he was hiding under a bed. "Hiya, Big Dipper!" she pulled him out from under the bed with one arm and sat on his chest. She held the sharp end of the letter opener to his throat. Lucy began to laugh. "You see this, Lily! You're boyfriend is about to die all because you can't talk about your feelings!"
I jumped up. Time. I ran for where the image was wavering in another area of the mindscape. I only had one chance to take her by surprise. I jumped through the air and knocked the holographic looking Lucy off of Dipper. This pulled her entire being into the mindscape. "You're not hurting him!" I pulled her hair and scratched and stuff. Ya know, typical cat fight stuffs. Eventually we were a tumbling knot. I could feel my body trying to decide who to obey... it' birth master or its current master. I don't know what went on with my actual body as we yelled and tumbled together. Eventually my body figured out which of us to obey. Me. Always, me. I was the stronger one and I had to stay that way. The moment I woke again I decided that I would start working with more brain teasers. The stronger my mind the better. Slowly everything grew dark, and light again almost instantly.
I threw the letter opener across the room at the wall where it clattered to the floor. I scrambled to get off of Mason. "Are you alright, Mason?" I sat on the bed he had hid under and rubbed my arms. I closed my eyes to calm myself.
"I'm fine, Lillyin." He sat beside me and wrapped his arms around my shoulders. I gasped slightly in surprise and opened my eyes. He held me tight to his chest. He started rocking me back and forth slowly and rubbing my back. He laid his head on top of mine as he continued to rock me. "You're alright too."
I set my hands against his chest and we both laid back until we were laying across the bed together with my head on his chest and his arms around me. I felt secure this way. Like I could never be in any trouble or harm so long as Mason was there with me. I knew it wasn't true but I so desperately wanted it to be. I buried my head in his chest. He smelled good, not like a normal teenage boy. Instead of B.O. and Axe body spay he smelled sweet. Like cherry blossoms and strawberries. I smiled into his chest as we laid there doing nothing.

Of course we were in a house full of people so what do you expect, someone eventually came to check on us. That someone was Mr. Pines. Just another person who didn't know what was going on with me. He simply opened the door and looked at us. He gave Mason a wink and a thumbs up and our faces flushed white. He then walked out the door and made sure it clicked on his way out.
We stood up together, still white faced, and walked quickly from the room and went back to Gift Shop to work.
