The Promise We Made After Midnight (A reverse dipcifica story)

There is only one way

                   ~Dippers Perspective~

I awoke the next morning and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and slowly stepped out of my bed, being blinded by the sun from my window. I started to walk over to the window to shut my curtains but I felt that someone else was in my room. I turn around and cross my arms and lean against my desk.

"Good morning Great-Uncle Ford." I say plainly with no emotion. I guess some Mason Gleeful was still in me. Not that it was a bad thing.

"Why, good morning Mas-"

"It's Dipper. I swear if you say that name one more time I'll knock you out clean. (Reference?)"

"Uh huh. Dipper, don't forget I'm giving you until-"

"I already made my decision. Actually only took me five minutes but I wouldn't want to have to spill the beans and trick you out of it. Whoops! I said my "Master plan". I'd hate to ruin you're ego." I say rolling my eyes, picking invisible dirt from my nails.

"You always take advantage of you're situations don't you?" Ford says glaring at me. I don't respond instead I just glare at him. The tension in the room was so thick you could cut it with a knife.

"Anyways come with me. You'd made you're decision already." Ford says turning on his heal walking out my room.

I follow him confused. We went downstairs into our master library and shelves half the size of the mansion were cluttered with books. Was he giving me a homework lesson or something?

"What are we doing here?" I ask confused.

He doesn't respond. Instead, when we reach the end of the library he pulled a shiny red book from a shelf halfway and suddenly, two shelves that were behind me slid and opened a dark hallway and a flight of stairs.

"See for yourself." Ford says with a chuckle as I slowly walk inside with Ford behind me. I jumped a bit when the two shelves that opened the secret place slammed shut.

I look behind me and Ford lights up a nearby torch and walks in front of me and I follow him like a lost puppy. We walk down the stairs and when we reach the end we go inside a elevator and he presses the number "3" button and we make our way down. It felt like we were going deeper. Down, down, down, into the abyss. (If you got this reference you are my new best friend!)

Once the elevator stops, I was met with darkness with only the torch and computer lights being the only guide. I look around mesmerized at all the gadgets around me. Mabel would have loved to see this. But I stops dead in my tracks when I see a golden tube that had my name on it. "Dipper memories."

I start to reach for the tube but Fords voice stops me. "Don't get too curious Dipper. Don't forget curiosity killed the cat. No one can hear you're screams from down here." Ford says taking off his glove and pressing his thumb on a blue scanner and another door opens.

"Come along." He says walking inside. I take one last glance at the tube and run inside the door with Ford. What I come across is hard to believe I thought it was another dream.

It was some sort of portal. It was an upside down triangle with a big circle in the middle. "What the hell is this? why are you showing me this?"

"Because you want answers don't you?" Ford says not looking at me and keeping his eyes on the portal.

"Of course I want damn answers! there is some sort of portal thing under the mansion! who wouldn't want answers!" I say yelling at Ford. He looks at me and devilishly smiles.

"I knew you still had some Mason in you" He says with a chuckle. I just snarl and wait for him to speak and cross my arms.

"Basically, this portal is my master plan. And since you have this new word called "love" in you're vocabulary, you care about you're friends and will do anything to stop you're dreams from coming true. Am I right or am I right?" He says stepping in front of me.

"What are you saying?"

"What I'm saying is, is what I said before. I won't hurt a single hair on anyone you loves head. As long as you help me with this. In return, I'll give you answers...well...he'll give you answers." Ford says rolling his eyes while saying 'well'.

"Who's 'he?'" I ask.

"You want to tell him now?...Will?" Ford says and I see a familiar blue demon step inside the room looking down, fiddling with his fingers and a look of regret and sorrow on his face.

"Will...you knew this all along...but why...how...when...you-"

"Of course he knew. Don't forget who his master is. You're Dipper Gleeful not Mason Gleeful. But don't worry Dipper you'll get all the answers you desire. So...is it a deal?" Ford say smirking at Will and he steps over slowly having his hand be engulfed in yellow flames desperately calling me to shake it.

I look at Wills hand for a couple seconds and very slowly raise my hand. Once I'm near, I look at him in a look of betrayal. He doesn't look at me, instead he looks at the ground. I sigh and I finally...shake his hand. Having my hand be engulfed in yellow flames for a quick three seconds and we let go.

"Now...are you ready for answers?"
