This story is NOT Billdip in any way, I just wanted to make a lighthearted oneshot of a silly little idea I got in the late hours of the night-

As the days went by after that fateful summer, Dipper only grew more and more uneasy. He didn't understand why, but he knew it had something to do with Bill Cipher. What else could it have been? His sister didn't feel it, and so he pretended it wasn't there. If it was that important, they both would have known this gut-wrenching, heart-stopping feeling.
The day before they went back to the falls, he didn't know what compelled him to do it. He went to the store as a now 13-year-old and bought a gift for the statue of the dream demon. When he finally noticed the oddity of the action, he tried to hide it, get rid of it, but he couldn't. He went back to the falls with this gift and left it at the base of the statue.
A little stuffed animal, a white rabbit.
This continued on for years, with increasingly odd gifts, up until his 18th birthday where his grunkles suddenly died of a double heart-attack.
They had left everything they owned in Gravity Falls Oregan to them.
The gifts turned from yearly to monthly in a matter of days, soon weekly.
One day, a book he had bought for Bill's statue fluttered open, and instead of clear pages, there were scribbles all over the inside.
Bill Cipher wouldn't write like that.

Entry from a new Sixer Journal.
Dream Demons become increasingly impressionable the longer they're sealed. Words spoken and gifts given can change them in a matter of months if done right. Speak to them like they serve you, they become more loyal. Gift them weapons and armor and they gain more warrior traits. It's fascinating to think of just how different many Dream Demons I've encountered could have been just years before I met them.
