Third persons POV

•Mystery Shack•

The shocked duo stared wide eyed at Mabel. Dipper is currently having internal breakdown once he had a clear once over in their situation.

Mabel's eyes bore suspiciously at Bill. You could practically hear the gears in her mind turning and clicking and for Bill sometimes it was quite literal. After a long suspending silence Mabel spoke.

"Who the pig gods are you?!?!" Mabel exclaimed backing away from the two. She knew what he was after a long , very long explanation on how to identify demons down by Gruncle Ford. Mabel took another once over on the demon. Sure he was devilishly handsome but looks could be deceiving. She then set her sights on the kitten in the demons arms , the poor thing is probably going to be tortured by the demon. Mabel then shifted her thoughts , could this demon be good? She knew not to judge being because of their species, take multi bear for an example. The huge beast was presumed to be wild but then he and Dipper had a bonding moment through 'Disco Girl'. Unfortunately Gruncle Ford and Stan were in the forest gathering ingredients for something Ford was making for experiments , she'd have to call them.

" Are you a good or bad demon?" Mabel questioned quickly shifting her gaze back to the demon trying to buy time.

The demon looked at her with a calculating gaze. Which scared the young lady a bit, his eyes turned into familiar slits. Damn, she knew those eyes well. But could it really be him , lost in her thoughts she stared on the wall ahead subconsciously she rubbed her nose as a nasty habit of being with her brother too long. Dipper....

" Maybe" Was the cryptic answer which jolted the female awake from her jumble thoughts.

" Bill?" Was her reply. Which was answered by a wide smile reaching his eyes. Bill laughed his signature echoey voice, he looked at Mabel before looking at the kitten in his arms.

" Salutations shooting star!" Bill greeted, gripping the feline tighter in his arms. He knew shooting star would immediately yell for sixer if she knew it was really him. But he couldn't do anything now , she already figured his identity out. What probably gave him away were his slit eyes which sometimes come out when he felt threatened , and that thought kind of amused him it was like he was an animal.

Perhaps he was , perhaps he was not. It really depend on others perspective on him.

Meanwhile Dipper could feel a slight tremble on bills arms. He looked up at Bills surprised. Could the all knowing dream demon be scared?

Bill?

Dipper attempted, hoping that he heard him. Fortunately Lady Luck was on his favor.

Yes Pinetree?

Are you ok ?

Yes. Why? Was his reply

Your shaking....Dipper trailed

With that pointed out Bill froze. He was? He dipped his head to look at his companion again. Damn it, he was. Honestly emotions and feelings are complicated and most unpredictable. He knew why he was scared , he could guess why. He was scared of dying permanently.

" How are you back?!"

Bill snapped his gaze back towards shooting star. And only replied with a cryptic answer.

" Regenerated"

The clacking of two pairs of feet snapped pierced the tension like a knife. Eyes strained to the doorway a two figures emerged one male the other female. As the pair neared the demon Mabel as quickly as she could grabbed her parents causing the couple to stumble back to her side. The older female fixated her eyes on her daughter a crease forming on her brows. While Michael Pines let out a soft yell of surprise when e stumbled backwards.

" Mabel..."Sheryl sighs exasperated. "Why did you do that ?" She questioned briefly looking at their guests now noticing the feline in the young mans arms, flashing a warm motherly smile before turning back to look at her daughter questioningly.

While Michael was examining their guests and the stain of Mabel juice on the floor. The young man was probably less than twenty,with bright blond hair swept to the side , lean yet muscular figure , and unusual cat slit eyes which is why his daughter probably pulled them away from the strange man. He was wearing a brick patterned fit sweater with an eye in the center and fitting blue jeans. But what really caught his eye was the kitten in the mans arms with unusual birthmarks on his forehead and paw. On his forehead was the familiar birthmark of the Big Dipper and on the paw was a Pinetree.
Quite the unusual pair indeed.

" Stay away from him mom! He's extremely dangerous!" Mabel warned keeping her eyes on the demon turned human.

At that warning Bill rolled his eyes and spoke.

" Oh , you wound me shooting star" Bill sighed "I've been living here in Gravity Falls for two long years of boredom. Do you think with all that time I could have killed you and your brother in cold blood during that duration? I didn't. " Bill ranted looking at his audience and clutching his kitten tighter." I can't believe you could think so low of me."

With that being said Mabel scoffed."You could be planning some thing big in that time Bill. Something bigger than wierrdmagedon. Something that you think can finally defeat us with a bang!" Mabel argued back.

But Bill will not have any of it an glared at the younger female." In trying to change shooting star. I'm not what I use to be. My powers have been decreased and won't come back for a very long time. Can't you see? I've even adopted a Common meat sack trait. Having a pet." Bill said holding his Pinetree and then pressing the feline back on his chest.

Mabel's eyes softened at the sight of the kitten. He reminded her so much of her late brother. But as her eyes flickered back to Bill they immediately hardened back to a glare." And when they come back ? You'll take over again? Oh no I'm not taking another chance in trusting you. The last time that happened I was trapped in a weirdness bubble. " she paused. Carefully she slid her arm behind her grabbing her phone to emergency call her Gruncle Ford. Hoping to any real god that Ford answered and her prayers were answered when she felt a slight vibration emitted by her phone.

But before Mabel could actually utter a word her phone disappeared from her hand. She then snapped her hard to looked at the demons hands . Noticing that his left arm was the only thing supporting the kittens form on the demons chest. She looks at Bills right hand, her heart thudded in her chest as she saw her sparkly rainbow phone in his hands.

Bill pressed the red button to end the call. He then threw the object behind him landing on the couch." Kid I'm a dream demon I can read minds. Man , you've gotten rusty shooting star." Bill smirked.

Bill stop playing around. Let's go home.

Bill pouted, yes pouted like a five year old not getting his cookie. He then looked at dipper.

" Pinetree your such a kill joy" Bill pouted more as he looked at his kitten.

Mabel looked at the duo confused was Bill talking to a cat? Has he finally gone wacko. Pinetree?

"I am already insane Shooting star and yes I am." was bills reply to Mabel's thoughts.

"Wait wait.... So this guys a demon? " Sheryl questioned Mabel and her answer to that was a nod. " And he has already tried to take over the world?" She questioned once more only earning the same response.

" Anyway it was nice meeting you Pines but we have business to attend to.
Ta!ta!"

And with a audible snap of his finger Bill vanished. Now it was time to tell Gruncle ford he was back.

•Bills Home•

Bill stared at his kitten a smile breaking through his expression.

I can't believe it.

Dipper looked up at Bill confused. He stared at his owner with big familiar warm chocolate brown eyes

Bill what's wrong? He mentally questioned.

Nothing Pinetree just happy, so very happy.

Bill could feel tears threatening to fall so he turned his head away from his beloved. 

He just couldn't believe it. Alive he was alive.
