Episode Nine 'Do you wanna be a Billionaire?'
Dipper found himself in the strangest dream. Bill Cipher seemed to be directing a musical.
"Bill? Yeah, this is something he'd do."
"Cut! No Dipper you're not supposed to say that line until the third scene!" Bill shouted Dipper noticed that he was on stage with Mabel.
"How can I be on stage? I'm right here." Dipper asked himself, looking down to ensure he was in fact where he thought he was.
"I'm sorry Bill but I forgot my line." Fake Dipper replied to Bill.
Bill face-palmed. "How am I supposed to get this play ready for Rick if you won't even do the simple things I ask of you!"
"Rick? Who the heck is he?" Dipper wondered.
"I-I'm really sorry Mr. Bill. I promise I'll get the line down." Fake Dipper apologized.
"No! You know what I'm sick of you! You're fired!" Then Fake Dipper burst into flames. Bill looked down at his wrist. "Oh darn it I'm late for my big show. Alright everyone go home we're done for today!" Then Bill vanished and Dipper shot awake, only to find himself no longer in the Mystery Shack.

Dipper, Mabel, Soos, Ford, and Stan all stood in some kind of red nightmare world. Before them was a bunch of strange things and a series of squares that led to a platform across the world.
"Where the heck are we?" Stan demanded.
"You're in my board game! Welcome one and all to "Do you want to be a BILLionaire!" Bill shouted, appearing in front of them.
"Bill, last I recall you were trapped inside of a stone," Ford said.
Bill chuckled. "While that may be true I made a deal with the Axolotl. He said I could terrorize you all and do my thing on one condition, I have to give you all a chance to escape. So we'll be playing a board game!"
"So Pines family-"
"And Soos!" Stan interrupted.
"Wait I thought the question mark was with you guys? You mean he's not a cousin or something? He seems to be wherever you guys are."
"Hey, Soos is family!" Mabel protested. "Right Gruncle Stan?"
"No way! Soos is not family! He just keeps tagging along because you kids don't understand boundaries!" Stan snapped, Soos looked down.
"And I thought I was evil," Bill stated. "Well, the rules are simple. Roll the die, land on a space, make it to the finish and you win. I have plenty of surprises, however. And no cheating!" One die for each of them appeared at their feet. Ford picked his up and threw it.
"Well here goes nothing." And with that, the game began.
On Stan's turn, he landed a five and walked onto a space with a fist on it. "What does this me-" Stan got cut off as a boxing glove punched him in the stomach, then he fell to his knees.
"Uh oh! Stan's been hit with a Bill Space! Those are what you want to avoid, they really hurt! That one is very tame for what's to come later on!"
Soos ran over and helped Stan up. "Gah Soos don't touch me!" He shouted and Soos sulked away.
"OK, Mr. Pines..."
"Woohoo! I'm in the lead!" Mabel cheered. "You're all going down!"
"How can she be thinking about winning in a game made by Bill?" Dipper asked himself and Ford shrugged.
"All I know is there's no way I'm letting her win!"Ford tossed his die and landed a six, moving past Mabel.
Mabel's eyes narrowed. "It's on."
Later on, in the game, Ford and Mabel were battling it out for first, even though it wasn't really a competition when Ford and Mabel landed on the same space.
"Oh yeah! How did it take so long to happen? Whatever! When two players are in the same space they have to play a fun friendly game to decide who gets sent back ten spaces and who moves forward ten!"
Suddenly Ford and Mabel were transported to a carnival booth. There were five bowling pins stacked up in a pyramid and they were both given an eyeball.
"Ew! Is this real?" Mabel asked.
"Want to forfeit?" Ford teasingly asked.
"Never!" Mabel shouted and she threw hers, it bounced off the pins.
Ford chuckled and squeezed the eyeball, it fired a laser that obliterated the pins.
"We have a winner!" The two were transported ten spaces in either direction from their origin point.
"Oh, it is so on!" Mabel shouted.
"Good luck catching up!" Ford laughed.
Soos and Stan were behind the rest of the group and in the same general area when Stan landed on another Bill Space.
Stan braced himself. "Oh man, what is it this time?"
"Rain of one thousand ants!" A cloud appeared above Stan and ants began falling from the sky. Once the cloud vanished Soos ran over and brushed some of the ants off of Stan's shoulder.
"Soos just stop it! You're like a bad luck charm!" Stan snarled.
"Mr. Pines... I've tried helping you this whole time and all you're doing is yelling at me. If you don't appreciate me then fine! I quit!" Soos yelled, then he stormed back to his space and rolled his die.

Dipper had kept to himself most of the game and had luckily avoided the Bill Spaces. He was more trying to figure out what the heck had he seen before the game had begun. But for the most part, he couldn't help but wonder why Mabel and Ford were so intent on winning.
Mabel had gotten extremely lucky and almost caught up to Ford, she was only one space behind him. They both rolled their die at the same time. Ford landed a four and Mabel got a five. Both of them walked to their space to find it was a Bill Space.
"Oh yes! This is the moment I've been waiting for! You two have to work together with and fight off ten thousand demonic zombies! If so much as one touches you, you explode! Forever!" Bill shouted joyously. Ford and Mabel were transported onto a Ferris Wheel. The Ferris Wheel began spinning and zombies with glowing red eyes rushed out from nowhere.
Meanwhile, Stan and Soos were actually progressing quite nicely, neither of them had hit a Bill space or had to go up against one another.
"This is just great. Now I gotta find a new employee. But you know what? It's a good thing! I never liked Soos anyways!" Stan lied to himself. He honestly felt really bad about what he'd said to Soos but he was too stubborn to admit it.
Soos was just trying not to cry and get through the game. "Melody might not be thrilled that I'm now unemployed but I'm sure it'll be fine. Besides, who wouldn't want to hire Soos?"
Stan rolled his die and landed on another Bill Space. "Are you kidding me!"
"Good luck!" Bill laughed and a red monster with wings flew out from the sky, it kicked Stan and launched him across the board. "It's time to fight Stan! Or else you're as good as dead!"
Mabel and Ford, refusing to work together. Split up and jumped onto different carts. The zombies began climbing the Ferris Wheel and Ford shot them with some kind of laser gun he had with him.
Mabel shot them in the face with her grappling hook and swiftly dodged any approaching enemies by using the hook to jump to another cart.
Stan was trying his best to fight back against the monster but it was easily winning. the monster pinned Stan down and raised its fist for one final strike.
"Looks like this, is it. Soos! I'm sorry for everything I said! You really are family, I shouldn't have acted like such a jerk. I'm sorry." Stan said, just before the monster could destroy him Soos punched it in the gut.
"Apology accepted! But can I have my job back?" Soos asked.
Stan stood. "Yes!"
"And a raise?"
"Don't push it."
The monster charged at them but Stan and Soos punched at the same time. This time they both hit him in the face. The monster groaned.
"Let's finish this! Hit him with everything you've got Soos!" Stan shouted, he pulled out a bar of gold and handed it to Soos. Soos charged and finished the job with one final strike. The monster vanished in a purple cloud and Bill groaned.
"Ugh, that was my best trick! Fine, you two get to move on! Man, I shouldn't have chosen a stupid board game!" Bill complained.
"Great job guys, but Mabel and Ford haven't come back yet and I'm getting really worried," Dipper said.
Mabel's grappling hook attached to the center of the Ferris Wheel and she was pulled towards it, barely evading a group of zombies, Ford was also in the center of the wheel, he threw a grenade to the ground.
"Eat this!" The Grenade exploded and knocked over the Ferris Wheel. Mabel and Ford were luckily unscathed but there were plenty more Zombies out to get them.
"Looks like this, is it. I'm out of tricks." Ford said, then he looked at Mabel. "I'm sorry I let my petty will to win endanger you, Mabel. You know you remind me a lot of me. You're very determined." Mabel smiled.
Mabel hugged Ford. "Thanks, gruncle Ford. I'm glad I got that trait from you. Dipper isn't the only one like his great uncle Ford!" Ford looked at her grappling hook.
"That's it! Quick let me borrow that. It may not be too late after all!" Mabel handed Ford her grappling hook and he began to furiously work on it. Once Ford was finished he fired it into the sky and it latched onto nothing. It began to attempt to return to the gun when the entire sky began to fall down.
Ford and Mabel hid under the debris of the Ferris Wheel when the sky crashed onto the battlefield. They came out unharmed and found all the zombies had been crushed.
"We won!" Mabel cheered. They were each put ten spaces ahead of the Bill Space, looking back they saw Soos and Stan gaining on them. They nodded and combined their die somehow, they rolled it and quickly moved towards the finish line.
They rolled the die and it put them just one space away from the end of the game. That's when Dipper's die rolled in front of them. Dipper walked past them onto the finish. "Slow and noncompetitive wins the race."
Soon everyone was at the finish line and Bill came down from wherever he had been, furious. "Are you KIDDING me? Somehow you guys survived everything I threw at you! UGH! That's it! None of you are leaving alive!" But before Bill could act the entire world was filled with light.
"Bill, you dare try to disobey me! You have chosen your fate!"
"No! This is my Halloween special! Axolotl you don't get to control me!" Bill screamed.
The voice laughed. "That's what you think." Then Bill exploded. "No more Bill Cipher. Ever."
Then Dipper woke up.
Everyone met downstairs. It was the middle of the night so Stan was still groggy but worried nonetheless.
"So did everyone dream that?" Dipper asked.
"I don't think it was a dream Dipper, that all really happened," Ford replied.
Mabel gasped. "So does that mean Bill is really gone for good?"
"My guess is yes." Everyone cheered.
"This calls for a celebration!" Soos said.
"Tomorrow!" Everyone else replied, with that everyone went up to bed and slept truly sound for the first time in a year.

A device in his pocket beeped, so he answered it. "Ugh really? So much for that then. Well, whatever, not like it really mattered." Then he burped.
"Hey! Let's go on an interdimensional tour! Come on it'll be fun!" A new voice, a younger one, said to the older one.
"No way. I've got much better things to do than take you on a joyride."
"That's it! I'm hijacking this adventure!"
"You can't do that! Your punch card isn't ready yet!"
"Dad adventures count too!"
"God damn it fine since you just have to get what you want! But I chose the dimensions we visit! I've got things I need to get around to."
"Fine, I don't care."
"Good! Morty..."
"Rick, why did you say my name like that?"
"Damn it, Morty!"
