Gravity Falls: Missing...

Unlikely Friendship

I wake up and it's around 8 o'clock. I head downstairs and into the kitchen to see Wendy grabbing a bowl from the cabinet. "Good Morning!" She smiles as she takes a look in the fridge. "Good morning..? You seem to be in a good mood..." She's still looking though all our cabinets for something to eat most likely. "Yeah. Waking up to not having 3 brothers wrestling outside your door,for once, is nice." I shrug and sit at the table. "I wouldn't know. Dipper doesn't have very many friends that he hangs out with." She stops looking and sits. "I never understood why he's so obsessed over that book. It's all old and stuff." Man, she seemed in a good mood but I guess not."Yeah I guess. I'm going to go get ready for today... Not sure what I'm gonna do today though." I go upstairs and put on my shooting star sweater, it's probably my favorite. I brush my hair and put my headband in. I head downstairs and Wendy had grabbed herself some Ice cream for breakfast. " ice cream for breakfast? Not a very healthy... Just kidding can I have some?" She laughs and grabs the container from last night out... "Wendy... Put your spoon down." She puts down in her bowl and it clinks. "What's wrong?" She looks at the container and sees the note. "Nothing seems wrong." She suddenly grabs her throat and starts gagging. I run to her side. "Hahahaha just kidding." She pats me on the back and leans back on her chair. She grabs her bowl and keeps eating. "This flavor is great! Can you see what it is?" I stand and go into the fridge. I grab it. "It says Wild Berries". She shrugs and keeps eating. i decide to try a little and put some on a spoon and eat it. It's that kind of ice cream you taste the bits in it. She finishes and we go outside. The day is just as pretty as the day... The day Dipper had his nightmare... He did say he was in the woods and saw a blue light in his dream. The flash was blue I think. Maybe In his dream he was looking for the stone and when he found it. He made his wish and then... He had to kill me... "Hey... Uh Wendy. I'm not feeling too good. I think I'll just go back in and lay down for awhile." She says alright and walks home, while I walk the other way to the shack. I get inside and head straight for the attic. I love Dipper and I's room, for an attic it's pretty cozy. I lay down and just stare towards the ceiling. So far I think Dipper's dream has come true. What happens if he does have to hurt me? I don't want my brother to have to hurt me. Maybe that's why the doesn't come back, he's afraid he will hurt me. At least Bill decided to leave us alone. I can't believe he convinced Gabe to give him his body. He probably wanted to be a puppet or something stupid like that. He would probably be the easiest person in the world to trick, other than babies. I tricked him into thinking I liked puppets. There is a knock at the door and I head downstairs to answer it. I open the door and it's Bill again! "Bill!?" He pushes past me and I now see he has scratches everywhere and is covered in dirt. "What are you doing here?" He doesn't answer. He seems very scared and panicked. He looks at me and I see the fear in the mind demon's eyes. He grabs the door and slams it shut. He leans against it and slides down until he is sitting on the ground. "What do you want?!" I yell at him, he shushes me. "I'm not going to be quite till you tell me why your here!" He shushes me and quietly begins. "Is your brother here?" I can hear his voice shaking, he's actually scared. "No, why?" He looks around and sighs. "Okay, good. I can't take these human emotions. They are all over the place in this guy! I feel threatened and scared! Pain was entertaining now it just... hurts?" He is still panicking but he seems to be calming down. "Why does it matter if Dipper is here or not, last time you were here you stole his body and tried to destroy the journal!" "I care because he's the one who attacked me. I wasn't sure if he would expect me to hide here." I'm in shock. Dipper attacked the super evil mind demon who possessed him just the other week, and won?! "Hold on. Explain to me how you let Dipper beat you up." He seems kinda embarrassed now, I think. "Well. I was sitting in the cave you and your "Grunkle" as you call him, found me in. He came up and it just was so quick! I barely got out of there before your little brother KILLED ME." He begins to panics little again. "How in the world did... Wait. Explain to me exactly, in all detail, what happened." "Well. As I said I was sitting in my cave and he came in. I could just feel him, his eyes could see right through me. I knew he knew it was me. I have no idea how but I knew he did. He walks up and I'm just in shock he seems to be challenging me? Bill Cipher, being challenged by a pathetic child. I knew all his weaknesses and how he worked, I was in his body. I clearly had an advantage. He just seemed to just keep walking towards me. He came up and just hit me! He hit me straight in the chest, then pulled me out of my, clearly fabulous, meat puppet! I have no idea where he learned how but he did it just like that! I knew I had to do something or I knew he could hurt me for once! He was like a monster who knew every move and trick I have, he didn't seem to care or feel much either, I tried your "tickle" technique and he didn't, as you call it, "giggle". I jumped back in the man I'm in and tried to run but I didn't have any idea where I was going because as I passed him to get out he punched me right in the face. Everything was blurry and stuff. To imagine your infinite life threatened is a big deal. I'm not invincible in this, I'm just as human as you with a few extra stuff I'm not going to tell you about." He just has finally seemed to have calmed down when there is loud banging at the door. He jumps up and hides behind the couch. I open it and it's Wendy. "Hey, Wendy! What's... Wendy...?" She's not well. Something's wrong. Bill peeks up from the side and sees her. "Hey look it's Red!" He stands up and walks over. "How's it hanging toots?" She's confused but seems to ignore him. She lays down on the couch and curls up. "Whats wrong?!" I place my hand on her head it's burning up. Bill looks at her and inspects her. He sighs. "Where would she get Solanum dulcamara?" "Can you speak English now?" He sighs. "It's also known as Bittersweet Nightshade? You know the super lethal plant? Your friend ate about maybe 6 or 7. When did she eat them?" I think... Wild berry. I run the fridge and grab the ice cream and run back. I read the contents. "Here it is, Solanum dulcamara is one. It sounds like a type of artificial flavor. Sooo... She ate it about... 8:30 this morning. He feels her forehead. "Let's say she has about an hour then." "AN HOUR?" I grab the phone and hand it to Bill. He calls and an ambulance is here within a couple of minutes. They take her and it becomes a waiting game. It's just me and the mind demon who stole my brothers body then went and someone else's body. It's kinda awkward to see someone who is probably thousands of years old look my age. It's strange to see someone I once knew had long blonde hair in a ponytail and two puppets on his hands to a demon with short, blonde, messy hair and a eyepatch and a black suit with a yellow undershirt. To be honest I half expected it from him by now. I'm never gonna get over how funny it is to see him react to things though, he's so excited over the stupidest things like pain or being scared. I never though about this before... How old is Gabe... or at least how old was he? "Hey Bill. How old do you think the guy's body you took was?" He sits thinking and playing with his eyepatch. "He's about your age,I think." I laugh and he just stares at me. "Oh, how did you get Gabe to trade with you?" "Well. He wished to be puppet and I made him a puppet and took his body." He looks at his suit and straightens his bow tie. "I'll say it was a good deal." We laugh and the phone rings. "I got it!" He teleports over and answers. "Hello, Stanford!" He talks while I turn the tv on and watch a rerun of "Nearly Almost Dead, but Not Quiet." He comes back and floats just above the ground. "So what did Stan want? Why did he call?" He wanted to know what your were up to, I said hi and he kind of immediately knew it was me and is coming to help you..." "I knew you shouldn't of answered the phone!" " it's alright! I have it handled just go with it. Okay?" I sigh and agree. "Why?" He laughs. "I never liked him. Why does everyone always ask? Can I just have some fun for once?" "No, I was trying to ask you why I should just "go with it" you tried to hurt me and Dipper. I don't even understand why your still in our house." He frowns. "You know shooting star. I take of fence to that. I came here to tell you what happened because you were poking around then you go and insult my presence, I'll just leave." He drops to the ground, stands up, and begins to walk towards the door when Stan bursts in. "Stanford! Welcome! I just happen to be leaving!" He try's to sneak by but Stan pushes him back into the house. "Is that a way to treat a guest?!" He laughs and snaps his fingers and a blue flame erupts from his hand. "Okay, Stanford we can do this the nice and easy way or the difficult way, either way I'll be borrowing Mabel for a bit." He picks me up and teleports behind Stan. Shocked Stan panics and looks around and sees him behind him. Bill notices and gently sits me down. With one hand he holds me in the air while fighting Stan with the other. Stan throws punches after punches and Bill just keeps dodging. "Stanford, you old man. You couldn't hit me if you tired... Oh wait you are trying." He laughs and continues to dodge all his hits. "I'm getting tired of this." He takes two finger and shocks Stan. Stan falls over twitching. "Bill! What did you do?" He laughs and he begins walking away while he still holds me floating in the air. "Now, shooting star, let's go get something to eat. I haven't eating in thousands of years. Hey, do you mind I call you Mabel? Formalities aren't normal for friends, you don't walk up to Candy and call her Ms." "Yeah, sure you can call me Mabel." He laughs and carefully places me on the ground. It's not too long before we're at the Diner. We walk in and sit in a booth. Lazy Susan comes over to take our order but Bill kind of hides down in his seat. "What's wrong?" He looks over at Susan then back at me. "Uh. Susan can you come back? We're not ready to order," she nods and walks off. "Let's eat somewhere else." He's scared again, it's so easy to tell. "Sure..." I sigh and we stand up and walk out. "Actually can we just go back to the shack? I can handle Stan." He laughs and we walk back. We get there and Stan isn't here. So we sit down at the table and I make us sandwiches.
