*Lembella is on break somewhere in Gravity Falls alone. Bill appears behind her.*

Bill: HOW ARE YOU TODAY MY FAVORITE CHAOS PARTNER?

Lembella: I'm fine, just thinking about stuff . . .

Bill: LIKE WORLD DOMINATION?

Lembella: . . . kind of . . .

Bill: YOU LOOK UGLY WHEN YOU'RE SAD.

Lembella: I'm not sad though.

Bill: THEN WHY ARE YOU UGLY?

*She blasts him away with the little powers she has left.*

Bill: OKAY OKAY, NOT IN THE MOOD FOR JOKES, ARE WE?

Lembella: In your jokes, you transform squirrels into people and watch them cry.

Bill: HEHE YEAH..... SO WHY ARE YOU UGLY AGAIN?

Lembella: Excuse me?

Bill: WHY ARE YOU SAD AGAIN?

Lembella (Sighing): I've been thinking about my kingdom....

Bill: HA! WEAK!

Lembella: Shut up!

Bill: HOLD ON I'M BEING SUMMONED! I'LL TALK TO YOU LATER BELL-BELL!

*Bill disappears.*

Lembella: . . . Tch. He thinks I'm weak. *She clutches her fist.* He thinks I'm PATHETIC. *She raises her hand which is no longer a fist. A orb of energy starts forming.* But I'm. *The orb gets bigger.* Not. *She slams her hand onto the ground.* WEAK!

*Everything turns to black and white for a small bit of time.*

Noelle: -which is why the pig would go for the apple and not the carrots.

Ford: But it would go for either . . ?

*For a second they feel nothing, and everything is black and white.*

Noelle: . . . What was that?

Ford: No clue.

***

Evie: -then I said to her "What are you doing? The cantaloupe is down that aisle!"

*Evie starts laughing, Ivy and Gwen seem unamused.*

Ivy: Evie, where was that even going?

*They turn black and white for a moment.*

Evie: I don't know. I could care less.

*They go back to normal.*

Gwen: What the heck was that?!

Ivy: No idea.

***

*Liam is talking to Jasmine when they also turn black and white.*

Jasmine: Ugh, can you just shut up?! *She smacks him with a pillow.*

Liam: OW! HEY!

*They go back to normal.*

Liam: What was that for?

Jasmine: I . . . dunno.

*It cuts back to Emmabelle.*

***

Emmabelle: . . . crap.

*Bill returns.*

Bill: Whoopsy, haha! Better make sure no one finds out that was you!

*Emmabelle punches Bill in the eye.*

Emmabelle: SHUT UP!

Bill: OW MY EYE! WHY DID YOU HIT ME IN THE EYE?!

Emmabelle: To get you to SHUT UP! You don't have anything that means the world to you, you don't have anything you care about! I lost my kingdom, I lost everything, I LOST MY PARENTS! And you can't understand what the word love means! Why don't you try being in my shoes for once?!

Bill: Hmm, good idea! *He snaps his fingers and he takes over her body.* Now that I'm in your body, I can see what life . . . looks . . . like . . .

*Through Emmabelle's eyes, Bill notices everything is very slightly dull, and some dark colors are darker than usual. Some colors are darker or lighter than usual.*

Bill: How do you live like this?

Emmabelle: I was born kinda colorblind.

Bill: Interesting . . . Well! Time to go live your life!
