+Mystery Shack: Early Morning+

Dipper had woken up a bit earlier than usual today. It was probably because of that book that kept him curious. He sat up on his bed and glanced at the book on the nightstand. Hesitantly he picked up the book and decided to look through it again. Every word he read had certain feelings that made him angry, sad, happy...

"Dominic Oak huh?" He says to himself, slowly dragging his finger across his past self's name. The teen flipped through the pages of the book to the back cover. Cursive writing stating the property of the book: William Rehpic. He placed the book on the bed and got up to get ready for today. When he finished, he grabbed the book again, headed down stairs and out the back door to go into the forest.

The brunet followed the memorized path to Bill's statue. He did it earlier this summer like he always did, but now that he had this book in his hands, Dipper just had to go back to Bill to find more answers. "Come on its gotta be around here." He past some bushes to come into a dimly lit clearing. Dipper saw the outline of Bill's half exposed stone physical form still waiting for his hand to be shaken. He walked up to the statue casual and sat down in front of it like he always did. "Hey Bill, or should I call you William?" He asked as he chuckled a bit.

The statue remained unmoved and coved in moss with flowers here and there ever since they defeated Bill. Nothing has really changed since then.

The leather bound book was placed in front of the statue. "I found this book in the library the other day and I was hoping you could give me some answers. I know we defeated you, but I'm not sure if your really dead like how I always keep telling you every time I visit." He stuck his hand to Bill's out stretched hand, "I'm willing to give you a second chance to come back if you do not to hurt anyone or kill them for that matter. You also have to protect us and the town if any danger come our way and answer my questions. In return, you get to keep all your powers and come back to the physical realm." Dipper nodded after think everything through and smiled.

The dimly lit area of Bill's statue was lit up by the sun as it came out.

We'll meet again~

Don't know where. Don't know when~

But I know we'll meet again, some sunny day~

Dipper gripped Bill's out stretched hand and surprisingly the hands were covered in blue flames. He hear the familiar laughter of the demon as he came out of his stone prison and the crumble of the statue.

"Oh, Oh, Gravity Falls! It is good to be back!" Bill exclaimed cheerfully floating around.

At first Dipper mentally debated with himself if this was a good idea, but pushed it to the side. He did this already, not last second thoughts. "Bill."

"Hey PineTree! Didn't think you would ever want me back. Did ya miss me? Admit it you missed me?!" Bill asked gleefully not really mad for that fact that Dipper was one of the reasons he got locked away.

Dipper laughed a bit giving the demon a small nod that Bill didn't notice. "Anyways Bill, I think this belongs to you." He picked up the book again and gave it to Bill.

The dream demon took the book and looked it over. Even opening it up and skimming over the words. "Kid to be honest with you, I have never seen this book in my life time."

"Does Blair Lux ring a bell to you? She was the one who wrote the book and gave it to William Rehpic." Dipper tried to get the demon to remember. 'Why doesn't Bill remember?' He thought.

Bill hummed in thought eyeing the book in his hands. "It kinda rings a bell a bit, especially the name William Rehpic. Sorry kid, but I'm lost."

Dipper groaned and got the book back from Bill. "Anyways, you have to come back to the Mystery Shack with me. I don't really want you roaming the area without supervision. I'm gonna probably get lectured from my family about bring you back to life." He told the demon. He watched Bill float down to his shoulder to perch himself upon.

"Onwards PineTree! I need to greet old Sixer and Fez! Not to mention Shooting Star!" Bill exclaims pointing forward.

Dipper laughed again forgetting about the unsatisfied results. The brunet made his way, with Bill on his shoulder, back to the Mystery Shack. Hopeful that Mabel might have saved some breakfast for him to eat.

+Mystery Shack: Kitchen+

"Grunkle Stan, that's Dipper's share." Mabel told the old man who was about to eat her brother's share.

Stan shrugged his shoulders, "He won't know if I eat some of his share or not. I might as well take one!" He says with a grin and digs his fork into the sausage. Before he could even eat it, the sausage was suddenly covered in blue flames. "Woah!" He dropped the fork on his plate. Mabel and Ford standing up at the sight of the familiar blue flame.

"Don't eat that Fez. It's PineTree's food after all."

"You make it sound like its gonna kill someone."

There standing at the door was Dipper and Bill Cipher. Mabel immediately covered her mouth while Ford quickly pulled out one of his guns, aiming it at Bill.

"Such a nice greeting Sixer really. So nice to see you three again too!" Bill says full of sarcasm.

"Whoa! Great Uncle Ford, don't shoot! Bill isn't gonna hurt us!" Dipper quickly says waving his hands in front of him to get his great uncle to stop. When he saw the man put the gun down he let out a relieved sigh. "I was the one who brought Bill back okay. I made sure that he would not hurt or kill us. If anything he's just gonna protect everyone here in Gravity Falls."

"Dipper! This is Bill were talking about. Sure I feel sorry for him because of his past, but is really safe to bring him back?" Mabel asked her brother concerned as she crossed her arms.

Dipper confidently nodded his head. "I'll take responsibility for Bill's actions, don't worry Mabel. We can even ask questions from him and he'll answer them." He smiled.

Ford got interest after hearing that. "So Cipher, are gonna plan for a come back Weirdmageddon version 2?"

"Not gonna answer that Sixer." Bill told Ford with glee in his tone.

"Just answer the question Bill, please." Dipper said to the dream demon with a slight tone of plea.

Bill rolled his eye. "I have no such plan Sixer. I cross my demonic heart- if I had one- either way it's the truth." He floated over to Dipper and sat on the op of his head. "Besides, I'm not really gonna answer any of your questions unless it's coming from PineTree here."

"Uh why me? I though you would be answering all our questions?" Dipper asked confused, he shrugged to his confused family members.

"Kid you said and I quote 'and answer my questions' so technically I will answer you, but not their questions. Protecting all of you is just a walk in the park since I see everything." Bill explained to his charge. The dream demon got off the teen's head and floated in front of Dipper's face. "So I'll being by your side the most, which I don't mind, the others just give me weird moods."

'It might be because of his past.' Most of the Pines family thought.

"Anyways, Bill, since Dipper's taking responsibility of you from now on. You'll be staying in his room or following him around unless he has to do something and can't bring you along." Ford said to Bill who didn't bat an eye his way.

Bill waved his hand and sat on Dipper's should. "Yeah yeah, I got it Sixer."

Dipper sighed and sat down at the table. "Well I'm gonna eat my late breakfast now."

Mabel grinned and grabbed Bill of her brother's shoulder. "Bro bro! I'm gonna borrow Bill while your eating breakfast! We'll be up in my room if you need us!" She says quickly.

"Wait- wait! PineTree-"

"Okay Mabel, just try not to break him." The teen replied tiredly as he chomped down his food.

"PineTree!" Bill shouted before the door to Mabel's room slammed shut.

Stan looked at his great nephew with a deadpan look. "You know you just gave a demon away to something worst than himself, right?" Ford nodded in agreement.

Dipper nodded as he swallowed a piece of his pancake. "Yeah I know. This is just a warning to Bill that he'll be punished by Mabel's hands in the future if he does something out of line." He pulled out the book with his free hand and put it on the table. "You can examine this now Great Uncle Ford. I found that Bill doesn't remember the book, but his past name rings a bell a little bit."

"Then I'll get started looking through it. I might even uncover some secret messages like my journals with invisible ink." Ford smiled and took the book in his hands.

"Shooting Star! I am a pure being with no weakness- Ahhhh! Stop!" They heard Bill shout from upstairs.

Dipper laughed in his seat while the two older twins chuckled a bit and wipe a small tear from the corner of their eye.

"Well I'm gonna go get the Mystery Shack ready for opening." Stan says happily and leaves the kitchen.

Ford smiled and left Dipper to his breakfast to go uncover more of the book.

Dipper smiled too and quickly finished his breakfast. He put his dirty dishes away and went to go check up on the two.

+Mabel's Room+

"Shooting Star, please- no more..." Bill says weakly.

Mabel rolled her eyes and moved her had to Bill. "Oh don't be a baby Bill. Now stay still so I can do this perfectly."

That's when Dipper made his entrance into the room and laughed a bit at the dream demon. "Wow Bill- haha- that looks well on you." Dipper couldn't hold back anymore and laughed full on.

"Laugh all you want PineTree, but when I get out of this, you're gonna wish you never laughed at me." Bill remarked to the brunet. The dream demon was in a mini dress outfit that Mabel made and she was applying make-up to the triangle.

"Sorry Bill, can't help it when you look like that." Dipper took out his phone and snapped a quick picture of the triangle. Blackmail purposes of course.

Bill sent him a small glare before trying to get out of Mabel's hold again. "Shooting Star!" He whined.

Mabel giggled and with her fast hands applied the make-up. "The faster you cooperate it'll be over before you know it." She says taking her own phone out and snapping a few pictures of the dream demon. "Okay and done."

"Finally!" Bill took all the stuff of his being and snapped his fingered to get the make-up off. He flew over the Dipper quickly and sat down on his shoulder again. "I never want to be a dress up doll again."

The teens chuckled and Dipper left Mabel's room with Bill. Dipper walked to his room and opened the door. He dream demon examined the room as Dipper walked in and closed the door behind him. The walls were covered in papers, photos, pins, and string. The desk was well kept neat with some books lying here and there.

"Well you sure haven't changed a bit." Bill says with an amused tone in his voice. He even found himself a little section of himself with a few drawings with a little note book next to them.

"Yeah, well my love for mystery and adventure haven't died yet." Dipper said as he sat on his bed.

Bill rolled his eye and flinched when he was taken of the human's shoulder. He was placed on the bed and watched the Dipper start busying himself with writing in a notebook he pulled for under his pillow. The dream demon got bored as a couple of hours passed which got him to start annoying Dipper. "Piiiiiiinnnnneeeee Trrreeeeeeeeee! I'm bored!"

Dipper didn't say anything because he was too focused on his notebook.

"PineTree!" Bill tried again to get Dipper's attention. He fumed red and started planning on how to get his attention. 'Maybe...' He thought and floated himself off the bed and onto the floor in front of the teen.

Just then bright light coved his triangular form which got Dipper to stop writing and cover his eyes. He uncover then to find a blond male in front of him with two different eye colors. "What the?" He looked to his side to not find Bill and looked back at the stranger. "Bill?"

"The one and only PineTree! I was trying to get you attention for the past hour already!" Bill exclaimed with a slight pout. "Now entertain me because I'm bored!"

"Bill, I'm busy."

"PineTree!" Bill whined.

"No Bill." Dipper responded firmly.

Bill quickly came up with another idea and smirked. He got closer to Dipper and jumped onto his lap, he pen and notebook falling out of his grasp.

"Play with me!"

"Bill!"
