The Phoenix (Gravity Falls Dipper x Reader)

Ep.18: Weirdmageddon Pt.1

Your POV

The sky was all sorts of colors, and there was a massive X in the sky. I felt fear all over my body as I stared up at the sky wide eyed, Dipper and Ford standing beside me.

Ford: So this is how the world ends. Not with a bang but with a *spins his finger around his head* cuckoo.

Dipper: Weirdmageddon...

You, Dipper, and Ford: *cover yourselves as many animals run your way*

Gnome: *runs under Dipper's leg causing him to trip*

You: *help Dipper stand up*

Ford: The rift is shattered, Bill's world is spilling into ours, and every minute his powers grow stronger.

Dipper: Mabel!!! The rift must've cracked inside her backpack!!! She must be in danger!!! We have to go find her!!! *starts running into the woods holding the walkie talkie still in your hands* Mabel, come in Mabel!!! Mabel!!!

Ford: *stops Dipper* We can find Mabel soon but first we have to stop Bill. If we can blast him back through the rift he came out of we just might be able to stop him before his weirdness spreads across the entire globe!!!

Dipper: Are you sure defeating Bill is even possible?!?

Ford: *looks at you* ...

You: *give him a defeated look* ...

Ford: *looks back at Dipper* No, I'm not sure. But being a hero means fighting back even when it seems impossible. Will you follow me?

Dipper: *determinedly nods* To the end of the Earth.

Ford: Good, because that's where we're heading.

You: I'm going too.

Ford: No, it's too dangerous for you.

You: What?!? What's that suppose to mean?!?

Ford: (y/n), listen to me. Bill now has physical form. He's way more powerful than he was before. And since you're his creation, he has easier accent of getting to you. You're the most vulnerable character here.

You: If he has easy access to me, there's nowhere for me to be "safe"!!!

Ford: The shack, we managed to protect it. It's the only way to keep you safe.

You: I DON'T WANT TO BE "SAFE"!!! THIS PROBLEM WAS PARTLY MY FAULT!!! AND I WANT TO HELP FIX IT, EVEN IF IT MEANS ME LOOSING MY LIFE!!!

I could feel tears starting to form, but I quickly blinked them away, keeping my angry glare. He knelt down and cupped my face. He looked at me with a look that I hadn't seen before, but felt all to familiar.

The look of a caring father trying to protect his child...

Even if I didn't remember anything of my time with Ford decades ago, the time I had spent with him now made me realize what a father-like figure he had become for me.

One better than Bill ever was...

He gave me one last kind smile before I looked over at Dipper, who had a look of worry on his face.

They both just wanted the best for me...

And I knew deep down they were right...

You: ... *look down* Alright... I'll stay...

Ford: *stands up* Thank you, (y/n)... We'll be back shortly...

You: *nod slowly, your eyes still looking at the ground* ...
