The portal opened up in the Mystery Shack basement spitting out everyone. Dipper felt himself. "We lived!" He said. "Yay! And we're home!" Mabel smiled. "I'm a teenager again!" Wendy smiled. "I'm still a handyman!" Soos added. "I'm me again!" Bill said. He was back in his triangle form. "Bet you're happy." Stan said. "Am I ever! Humans are just, weird." Bill replied. "Now back to business." Bill raised his hands at the portal and it practically folded in on itself and dissapeared in a flash of light. "Taken care of." Bill said.

Dipper looked at Bill. "Hey um, maybe we can be friends here. You can like stop the whole planning thing you have for this town, and help us with the journal. It gets tiresome fighting with you. We really became closer in the portal." He said. Bill seemed to think about this. "Are you kidding? I wouldn't do that. I still hate you all with a passion. That was the past. Now I have my own things to tend to. Including stopping you guys from learning to much." He replied.

Dipper couldn't believe it. After all that they had went through, their shared feelings, the closeness the family had, the kiss... had it been lies all along? But then Dipper noticed a quick glimpse in Bill's eye. It was only a moment, but it had been there. It was the same look they had shared when they had kissed. That was how he knew, it had been real. Things were just different now. They would have to stay like that. After that glance Bill warped away.

Dipper couldn't help but smile. Then realizing his family might be looking, he raised a fist and said "Uh darn you evil triangle! You think you've won, but we will stop you!" That was better.

After the crew had regained themselves, Mabel took them to town to make sure it was home. Candy and Grenda were girls, Lazy Susan was 'lazy', Robbie was back to being a jerk, and Toby was.... well, Toby. Everything was finally looking up.

=============================================

'And so the portal was never seen again. Bill wasn't either. For the mean time anyway.' Dipper wrote their adventure down in the blank journal #3 pages. 'Now with the craziness under control, I can resume my search for the author. Who knows what lies ahead?' He wrote.

"Are you ready Dipper?" Mabel called. Dipper closed the journal. "Yeah! I'll be right out!" He called. He then grabbed his backpack and smiled. Time to solve a mystery.

The End
