DIPPER'S JOURNAL

THE WORST HAS HAPPENED! BILL HAS BEEN LET LOOSE IN OUR WORLD!

I don't know who got hold of the rift or who Bill deceived, but right now it does not matter. There is very little time to write, but I feel it necessary to quickly summarize our plan in case we fail and it falls to others to fight this beast.

I only have one charge left on my Quantum Destabilizer, the weapon that required Parallel Candy's brilliance to complete. If all goes according to plan, we will use it to destroy Bill. It should transform him into a weirdness black hole, and suck all the strangeness from the Nightmare Realm out of our world.

-----

But only a direct hit to the center of his body will work!!

I pray that if we fail, others will take up this fight. The fate of the world, the fate of the entire universe, depends on it!!! This may be the last time that I write in this journal, or any journal, ever again. I know I have made many mistakes in my life, but I pray that I can finally make things right.

FORD'S JOURNAL

I know this is the only time I've ever written in this journal, and I don't even know if I'm allowed, but I feel like I have to. Ford, if you see this, I'm sorry.

Bill has somehow found his way into our world. Stanford said that the rift (whatever that is) must have broke inside Bella's backpack when she ran off. I'm really scared for her. I don't want her to get hurt. W̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶i̶f̶ ̶I̶ ̶n̶e̶v̶e̶r̶ ̶s̶e̶e̶ ̶h̶e̶r̶ ̶a̶g̶a̶i̶n̶?̶ 

Don't think that way, Fiddleford.

Mr. Pines is going over the plan with Stan and Ford and writing it down in his journal. I don't have much time to write. We have to go soon.

I couldn't leave and go fight Bill with the possibility of not coming back before writing down a few things. Even if the people this is meant for never read this, I have to say it somehow.

Stanley, if you read this, know that you are a great friend. Thank you for making Bella so happy.

Ms. Pines, if you read this, thank you for letting me work at the Mystery Shack and giving me a chance to meet Stan and Ford.

Stanford, if you read this, I love you so much. Please don't forget that.

Bella, if you read this...

I'M SORRY.
