Gravity Falls One-Shots

Scientific

Dipper Pines had a decision to make. Everything had happened so fast. It was just a few months ago that he was blissfully ignorant. Now, the fate of the world was in his hands. Literally. He looked down at the snow-globe-like container cradled in his arm. Inside it was an inter-dimensional rift. If the container broke, the world would literally come to an end. And Dipper was in a situation. He had somehow managed to end up on a branch just over a long drop. (It was a long story.) Dipper could easily swing himself to safety, but that was too risky. The rift could break. On the other hand, Dipper could continue to hold on to the snow-globe. He would probably loose his grip and fall to his death. On the bright side, if he held onto the rift and twisted the right way, his body could break it's fall. Either way, he seemed to be screwed.

Come on, man! Think! He scolded himself. "You're supposed to be the smart one!" He didn't realize he had yelled aloud until he heard his frustration echo back to him. This was getting him nowhere. He wished he could get his phone out of his pocket and call for help, but he needed both his hands right now. Maybe he should start yelling. His noodle arms wouldn't hold on forever. No, that would never work.

Suddenly, Stanford Pines ran to the rescue. "Great Uncle Ford! How did you know I was here?"

Ford looked seriously panicked. "I was told."

"Told? Told by who?" Before Ford could answer, someone else did.

"I did." It was Bill Cipher. The triangle floated near the preteen. "Well you sure seemed to get yourself into quite the situation, didn't you?"

"What do you want from me, man?" Dipper asked defensively.

"The rift." answered the demon.

Ford stretched out his arms to catch the snow-globe. "Dipper! Give the rift to me!"

Dipper had to make this throw. If he failed, it was the end.

"No! Give it to ME, Pinus Ponderosa! "

".......wtf, no." Both Dipper and his great uncle gave the triangle strange looks.

"it...its the scientific name for Pine Tree.." explained the demon quietly.

Dipper gave the demon another weird look at gently tossed the rift to Ford. Thankfully, he caught it easily. Thank Goodness! thought the boy as he leaped to safety. The two then walked away from the ridiculous demon.

"Stupid Pinus Ponderosa...." muttered Bill.

AN: This is basically just an AU where Bill calls Dip by the scientific name for Pine Tree. Hope you like it! Don't forget to request stuff!
