Stuck in time {gravity falls au}

{7}

Before the chapter I have to say that I decided to write the next chapter from the view of author, I hope you'll like it. So here's the chapter...

The stranger slowly got up and looked at his surroundings, he was at a carnival, with lots of people. There was no doubt that he achieved...

"Gravity Falls..." he said slowly.
"At last, I'm back."

He checked the things on his belt, there was a- A BABY TOWEL!?
'What kind of idiot is that?' He thought to himself. As expected, the time tape was nowhere to be seen. 'Now, all I have to do is wait for those idiotic time police to come and try to catch me'

And then he laughed like a sadistic maniac, his laugh was not something that belonged to this universe...

•••

Dipper, Mabel and their uncles-in-future were heading back to the town. This time they were using Stanley's car, as he said 'STANLEYMOBILE'. Dipper and Mabel were at the back seat, and both brothers were at the front seat.

Stanley, the one who is using the car, was trying to cheer them up, which Mabel was responding willingly. It was understandable for him to do that; he was homeless and abandoned for the last six years of his life, and he was beyond happy to see his nephew and niece-in-future. But the relationship between him and his brother was far more deep and complicated.

He was willing to forgive him but whenever he attempted to start a conversation, his memories were coming back to his mind as flashbacks: Stanley who was abandoned and silently crying at the back seat of the car, Stanley who was escaping from cops countless times, Stanley who was fighting with the men three sizes of him to survive... and it was all because of the man who was sitting next to him and him not saying even a word to their father about kicking him out of his home.

On the other hand, Ford wasn't any better. He didn't manage to go his dream school because his brother had ruined his project, with or without intending it. Because of that, his dreams of being famous and proving himself about he is not a freak and useless like everyone said, was ruined.

While his sister was having a good time there, with her new-found uncles, Dipper was slightly more concerned about the situation. Whatever had happened, caused the future they were living, but it was pretty obvious what they did was something that would change huge things at the future, and he couldn't help but think maybe they shouldn't have done that. Yes, it seemed the right thing to do, saving his uncle from a nightmare-ish present, but there must have been some consequences. Because as much as they heard from that traveler, this paradox thing was something that shouldn't be underestimated. 'At the worst scenario', he thought, 'We can always come back and stop our current selves if something serious happens once our Uncle Ford fixes the machine.'

They had passed the 'Welcome to Gravity Falls' sign with a note below that said 'nothing to see here' when they heard a loud bang right before the car stopped, which was about to choke them all to smoke.

"Oh no, not again..."

"Why? What happened?" Mabel asked, concerned.

"This ol' car crashed again." Stanley said in a tired voice. He'd seen this car did it before, but he'd never seen such smoke.

"Get out of the car, kids. I don't want you to die in a time when you aren't even born, because of this stupid car."

Fortunate to them, there was someone in the car who was great at machinery. Stanford immediately opened the front side of the car and started investigating.

"Hmm... looks like this part is pretty old, it's a miracle we even managed to ride this far... Do you have any supplies?" He asked to his brother.

"What? Ugh... I don't think so..."

"Great! Now what are we gonna do? Why these kind of things always happen when everything is perfect? One second we learn our uncle has a secret twin and we saved him, in a way" Mabel added after she took a glare from Stan. "And now we're stuck here in the middle of the snow!"

"I don't think we have much way to go, so... maybe, we can walk?" Dipper suggested.

"This is probably the best option."

It was a good thing they didn't have much thing with them in the car, and Stanley was less willing to leave some stuff there. "This Stan vac. sucks better than anything!" was what he said. They got everything that could possibly keep them warm and began passing through the forest to reach Ford's 'home/lab'. It surprised none of them to find a 'frozen gnome' on the way.

Meanwhile, the vessel known as Blendin was planning his moves too. He felt that the future was starting to change slowly, so he needed to act fast yet wisely.

The first thing he had to do was to find his most valuable 'friend'. Even though this is what he says, it wasn't anything other than a good 'pawn' to him. He had had helped him a little in the past. Now it was the time for a little favor.

***

And there he was; the bunker that the sixer 'will have be built'.

Such a time waste you did by using that invisible ink, he thought to himself. Obviously, he had more powers than humans could ever imagine, it was stupid to assume he couldn't see some invisible ink.

He immediately pressed the right buttons in order to open the gate way.

When he reached the lab, a huge smile spread on his face, a smile which wasn't warm, more like a smirk. Then, he felt something weird that made him smile even more. Something he is used to do to others but never felt himself. First of his life, which was pretty long, Bill Cipher felt that he was being watched.

He turned to his back, only to see the perfect copy of the vessel he possessed.

"Who are you?"

"Ow, it is rude to not remember people, y'know. Especially when those people helped you with something important in the past. Something like saving you from those aliens."

"Cipher?"

"BINGO! I always knew you were smart. Now, let's get back to business, if you remember who I am, then you must also remember our deal."

"Yeah... I, remember."

"Perfect, now what I need you to do is shift into the form of this man."

He showed it a picture of a man. The picture made his eyes open wide.

"Fine, but will they fool for that?"

"Oh, don't worry about that, all you have to do is trust me..."
