A Change Of "Heart"

Chapter Twenty Four: An End Of An Era

Third Person's P.O.V. :

Bill took Dipper's hand, pulling himself onto his feet. He gently guided Dipper's hands to the small of his back and pressed their foreheads together. Closing his eyes, he teleported themselves back to the main part of the pyramid, just as his friends had began to return. They all smirked - Well, some of them tried, but couldn't because of their appearances - at seeing Bill with Dipper, thinking there was some sort of torturous plot ahead.

"My friends!" Bill announced, gaining the attention of anyone who had not already been staring at him. They gathered around him, giving him a few yards of space. "How about another game?"

Everyone hollered in agreement. Bill raised Dipper's hand, showing him off like a trophy.

"Let's play a round of... Tag, shall we?" Dipper attempted to swallow the lump in his throat, but to no avail... What? .. Tag? "Now... Hmmm.. How should we set this up? Oh, I know!"

Bill let go of his hand and rubbed his chin, thoughtfully.

"Everyone here is 'It' and you have to catch Dipper!" Dipper's knees gave out on him and he fell to the ground with a 'Thud'.

"Woah, woah, woah!! What?!" Dipper screamed, terrified. Had Bill betrayed him yet again?! With a snap of Bill's fingers, all of the monsters were on the walls and Dipper was in the middle of the room. Bill, however, sat comfortably on his throne, clearly amused. A prominent white circle surrounded Dipper with a 20 foot radius. A smaller version of it circled Dipper, giving him only a three foot radius.

Dipper attempted to run out of said circle but found he was unable to due to some sort of invisible barrier keeping him locked in. Dipper, scared, looked up at Bill with hurt eyes, begging him to stop.

"On the count of three, friends!" Bill began, ignoring Dipper's silent pleas. "One... "

All of the monsters leaned off the wall, getting ready to run.

"Two... "

Some monsters had already taken a step from the wall, clearly cheating, but nobody seemed to care enough to call them out.

"Three!"

And with that last count, all of the monsters ran st Dipper with psychotic looks plastering each and every single one of their faces. Dipper covered his head with his arms and crouched down into a small ball, bracing himself for impact. This is the end.....

I'm sorry everyone...

I failed.

Ayeeeee, gotcha. ;)

After 15 seconds, or so, he looked up, confused. The area outside of his circle, but remaining inside the large circle, was completely gone and instead replaced with the same colors and pattern as the tear in the sky.

As it would seem, the monsters had been sent back into their original dimension. Looking back to Bill, his hands were raised in the air and the circle that had the opening was slowly closing. From what Dipper could see outside of the pyramid, the gash in the sky was also diminishing in size.

Once all traces of the portal had been completely erased, Dipper was able to leave his circle. He ran over to Bill and hugged him.

"You did it!" Dipper yelled, his eyes prickling with tears. He tore away from the hug and immediately smashed his lips onto Bill's, who responded instantly. Dipper threw his eyes open and pulled away, coughing awkwardly. "*Cough* *Cough* Erm.. Yeah... Thanks for... The whole.... Not enslaving the universe thing..."
