+Bill's Castle+

After so much work of putting off the humans who tried to take away his PineTree again. Bill was exhausted for the first time in his lifetime. 'Stupid meatsacks. A deal is a deal and PineTree will stay with me.' He thought to himself selfishly.

The other demons were given orders to not mess with the humans too much and make sure they weren't hurt.

Bill looked down at his PineTree curled up in his lap, head snuggled against his chest sleeping away. He brought his gloved hand down and started stroking the boy's head gently not to wake him up.

"Oh PineTree it's so great to have you back." Bill cooed into the brunet's ear.

Dipper's eyes opened again to see Bill grinning at him. "Bill?" The brunet slowly said.

"Glad you awake now PineTree~" Bill said to Dipper.

"I'm back in your castle aren't I?" Dipper asked in a straight tone.

Bill nodded and teleported the both of them into his room.

Dipper sat on the bed, back against the head rest, with Bill's head in his lap. The brunet did the most common thing he usually did when ever Bill laid his head on his lap. Dipper ran his his fingers through Bill's hair gently, while often caressing the demon's face.

Bill practically purred in delight leaning into the hand caressing his cheek. "PineTree~"

Dipper chuckled at the demon's expression, but continued to comfort the blond. "Bill you know what you told me about Time Baby's warning a few weeks ago?"

Bill hummed eye closed. "Yeah. What about it?"

"Please listen to him and close the rift... If you don't, we'll all disappear accept for you and your friends."

Danger, Danger- Can't lose You
Priority One!
Level danger High!

Bill opened his eye to stare at Dipper. "PineTree everything will be alright. No one will disappear, especially you." He says to him in a serious tone mixed with comfort.

Dipper shook his head not believing in Bill's words. "Bill, Time Baby could be right. I have a feeling he's right. Please, if you won't listen to him, at least listen to me." He told the demon and stopped comforting the demon. Tears welling up in his eyes.

Choose?
It's hard, between what I want and what's best
Can I really decide?

The yellow demon sat up and looked at Dipper. He scooted over next to Dipper and embraced him into a hug.

Dipper hugged him back tightly letting his tears fall into the blond's yellow jacket.

Hurry and and choose!
Time has stopped, but decisions are excused
What is your decision?!

"PineTree... I can't. I can't stop my rule. Everything is mine to control. I don't believe Time Baby's words." Bill said to Dipper in a monotone voice. He could feel the brunet clutching tightly to his jacket.

"So your choice... Is to keep going huh?" Dipper asked shakily.

Bill didn't answer him.

Your breaking him!

Dipper let go of Bill and got off the bed walking to the corner of the room. He sat on the floor hugging his legs against his chest.

"Pine-"

"Just go on with your ruling Bill..." Dipper says to him.

You don't deserve him!

Bill stared at the brunet's back hoping he would turn back to look at him, but he didn't. He teleported out of the room.

Silence consumed the room.

Your ruining him!

"I thought you would have chosen me instead of your rule... But your greed had taken you away from me." Dipper quietly said to himself.

Ah, Ah... Reconnecting is hard you know~
That's unless the other recognizes his mistake
Connection is important.

+Bill's Castle: Throne Room+

Bill was on his throne again blankly staring across the room at nothing in particular. No one in the room because they were all out showing the world an awesome party. In the back of his mind he could feel something bugging him and it wouldn't stop.

'PineTree is sad... I wanna go back to him...' Bill thought, he could sense Dipper's state of feeling. 'I need PineTree.'

Bill held his head pondering on what he should do. Either listen to his PineTree or his wants.

"But I don't want to lose my ruling..."

But you don't want to lose PineTree right? Bill's subconscious was starting to act up now. Just like it did ages ago, when he had sung that song.

"Yeah, but I worked so hard for this."

Do really want to repeat history and suffer again? Think about it, back then after he died because of your dumb decision you became depressed and lost. His subconscious fought back.

Bill froze at the mention of what happen way back when, his eyes now staring at the ground below him. " I... I... Don't want that... I can't lose him again, not after I just found him again." The demon says in a shaken up tone, his breathing becoming ragged. The blond's hands came up to his face and covered it. "I don't want it to happen to him."

Listen to PineTree. Stop you rule. His subconscious continued.

Recognize your mistake.

Bill arms fell limp to his sides, he stood up from his thrown. 'I'm sorry PineTree.'

He teleported himself out of the castle.

Mission: Reconnection<Start>_

+Sap Cave+

Mabel cried on Pacifica's shoulder while Gideon patted her on the back.

Stan was gripping his hands tightly on the railing after telling everyone the news about Dipper. His twin brother stayed silent as he worked behind Stan to finish the invention that would close the rift.

Everyone stayed quite for the time being. No one really could make a sound to fix a broken family.

"Hey meatsacks." A familiar voice greeted, the voice carrying through the cave.

The familiar voice got the people to freeze and slowly turn to see the intruder.

Bill Cipher stood by the entrance of the cave in all his glory. Look at them smiling.

But it wasn't his usual smiles, not maniacal, insane, or terrible. Just a casual one graced his face.

The older twins glared at him.

"How did you find us Bill!?" Ford yelled over to the blond demon.

Bill chuckled holding his hands together. "I could smell sap on PineTree's body. Sweet really, smells good on him, but I prefer his usual scent like a pinetree."

"What do you even want from us ya dumb triangle? You have my brother already, what more do you want from us?!" Mabel cried out to him.

Bill dropped his smile and snapped his fingers together.

+Bill's Castle: Throne Room+

Bill had called all the demons to the throne room for a meeting.

Of courses every single one were present.

The yellow demon stood straight staring at all of them. "Nightmares." He said to them all.

The demons looked at him and listened.

"This is an order and I expect you to follow it. If you defy me I will use force." Bill told them in a serious tone. Finally he told them his order.

This is his full choice,
He will go through it

The demons started shouting at him and throwing their powers at him. Bill dodged and ignored them easily. His form going all red.

"Those who defy my commands, come here and face my wrath. You have written and entered your own death wish." Bill says to them loudly.

One demon pushed his luck and tried to kill Bill, but instantly turned into ashes.

"Whose next?"

+Bill's Castle: Just Outside Bill's Room+

Bill took a deep breath and let it out. 'Fix it Cipher. You can do this.' He thought. The yellow demon pushed the door open a crack and hear Dipper's melodious voice.

Oh~ Why did you choose the other?
Am I really not that important?
You preferred that woman who wears a mask,
Rather than the real person.

Ah~ I guess I mean nothing to you~
I get it, I understand, your wants are more addicting
Reality to you is an illusion
But sometimes it's actually real~

Dipper sang still sitting in that same spot in the corner. Tracing patterns on the floor with his finger.

A nightmare, I think is upon me,
I don't want to believe your choice~
You chose a woman who wears a mask,
Rather than the real person

Bill pushed open the door fully with out making a sound. Quietly listening to Dipper's song.

I was stupid to think you'd pick me~
Oh why?~
Can't you see my pure intentions?
Trying to lead you the right way~

Am I not that important to you?~
If I'm not at least let me...
Let me be someone to you~

The yellow demon now stood behind Dipper.

Can you tell me who I am to you?~
Why you chose that woman who wears a mask?~

Oh~ Darling, I'm so sorry~

Dipper turned around and looked up at Bill in surprise. Bill continued to sing.

Can you forgive me for my stupid mistake?~
I was blinded by my greed,
I wasn't thinking right about my decision~

That mask woman tricked me,
I'd choose you in a heart beat if it I wasn't blinded by my wants~
Your much more important to me if anything~

Dipper stood up hesitantly and continued to let Bill sing. The blond demon sang while holding his hand out to Dipper.

Won't you forgive me?~
I was never truly choosing carefully until you woke me up~
That mask woman casted her spell on me to blind me.
But you broke it~

Your the most important person in my life,
That is my answer~
Your irreplaceable~
You lead me the right way, never astray~

Dipper slowly placed his hand in Bill's, who smiled at him when he did so.

Listen~ My Darling~
I compensate for my action,
I know it's unusual of me, but I did it for you~
All for you~
I'll do anything~

Bill went on his knees to get on the same level with the thirteen year old boy. Looking at him in the eyes. "I'm sorry my PineTree. You were only trying to lead me the right way." He placed his forehead against Dipper's. "You'll forgive me right?"

Dipper was quite before answering him. "I guess, just listen more okay."

Bill smiled lovingly at him. "Sure PineTree."

The demon brought his hands to Dipper's face to tilt his head. He close the space between them and kissed him.

Dipper blush and didn't know how to respond to the sudden action, but he complied by kissing Bill back.

Bill pulled back from the gentle kiss. "I love you so much PineTree."

Dipper blushed hard. "I-I love y-you too Bill." The brunet admitted.

"Hey PineTree... I got you a present."

"What is it?"

Bill pulled Dipper towards the door. "We have to go outside to see it."
