~Bill's POV~
As we were walking towards the large square castle, I couldn't help but look over at everyone. To think that these people, minus Will, Jill, Blair and the kids, were filled with the exact same determination and hope whenever my Weirdmageddon happened. It made me very happy to know that it wasn't me that they were trying to kill.
"Everyone nervous?" Mabel asked, gripping the grappling hook tightly.
"Well, duh! We're going up against a purple cracker demon, Mabel." Jill stated.
"Jill, there's no need to be rude." Ford said to my sister.
She sighed, "Sorry, I'm just nervous."
"Jilly-bean, we've faced up against other demons and the townsfolk of Gravity Falls! We've got this!" I cheered, giving her a smile.
Jill smiled back, pushing back her golden hair. "Yeah, I know. But this is Tad Strange we're talking about! You and him used to bring chaos everywhere."
"I know, but I've changed. I just wish he could've too...." I replied.
"But he did, didn't he? When he married Toby's mom?" Winter asked, holding a shield as Will stated close to her.
"Death can make you go back to your old ways." Will replied to his daughter.
We all stayed in silence as we continued to walk, as if we were in some zombie video game. Until Diana Belle broke the silence.
"You know, Toby used to tell me all these stories about his mom and Tad." She brought up.
"DB, no offense, but is this the best time to bring this up?" Preston asked rudely, which resulted in him getting slapped in the arm by Pacifica.
Our daughter stopped us but standing in front of all of us. "No, think about. Mom and dad fell in love which cause dad to change to a good man. Maybe if we can let him see that-"
"Forget it, golden girl! If his own son can't figure out how to get him back to normal, than nothing can!" Robbie yelled. God, he still made me wanna punch him in the face.
"But what if we can see that what he's doing is wrong?" Dipper asked, turning around to everyone.
"Maybe. If what you both are saying is true, it could work. But didn't you say he really loved Poppy?" Ford asked, thinking.
"Love? Love...." Blair whispered as she looked like she was about to explode.
"What is it, Aunt Blair?" Diana Belle asked curiously.
"I have an idea!!!" Blair squealed before running back to the shack.
"Now, but we're off to go fight!" Stan groaned, obviously wanting to kick Tad's square butt.
Soon enough, Blair returned with some roses in glass cases in her hands. Each box contained two roses, which different colors; One case contained a dark blue and gold rose, another with a purple and a gold rose, another with a pink and light yellow rose, another with a light blue and purple rose, another with a light blue and one with a black rose, and a purple and a red rose.
"What's this? Is this from our garden?" Jill asked, staring at them.
Blair sat the six cases out on the ground. "Yes. But they're not like the other roses. They each contain each of our families relationships."
I looked at the dark blue rose and the golden rose. "I'm guessing that this is mine and Dipper's?"
"Exactly! And notice how all of them look. If the love is powerful, then it continues to bloom and it never dies." Blair explained.
I gasped, remembering roses like these. "Oh, I get it! They keep track of how the person feels about the other one. That's kind of what I used to do with my victims!"
"That's totally not creepy at all." Dipper joked softly.
"Bill and your's are very strong ever since they were put into the ground. The only time they've ever stopped is when you two began to worry about Diana Belle." The white haired woman explained.
I couldn't help but smile at that, feeling how powerful they were just from looking at them. I looked at Dipper, seeing the exact same look. We both looked at each other and blushed; We were still in love after all these years.
"The light blue and purple one are mine and Will's. It also hasn't stopped blooming." She went on explaining.
Will blushes hard. "H-hehe, yeah~"
"The purple and pink is Mabel and Pacifica, the light blue and the red one is Winter and Rex, and the gold and purple one is Diana Belle and Toby." Blair finished explaining.
Diana looked at the two roses that represented her and Toby. "Why do they look like they're wilting?"
"Because of Tad's plan. Once Tad revealed himself and the plan, it has began to wilt. This means that you two have hit a bump in the relationship." Blair replied to her.
I couldn't help but feel bad for my daughter; Because she felt so hurt by Toby lying to her, she had began to lose confidence in their relationship. I looked at Diana and was about to speak, but Dipper was already ready.
"Belle, I know what Toby did wasn't right and it was wrong from him to lie to you about what Tad was planning. But I'm sure that he had nothing to do with the plan. I can tell from the energy of his rose that he truly loved and still does love you." He said, holding out daughter's hand.
I nodded and held her shoulder. "We're not saying you should forgive him or go back to him, we just want you to understand why he did it."
Diana Belle nodded her head. "Okay, I'll think about it."
"But what about the red and purple roses? Are those Tad's and Poppy's?" Preston asked, pointing to the last case.
"Yes, exactly. I don't know Tad very well as Bill does, but I do know from the rose that he truly loved her even if she died. It's wilted a bit, but that's only because he's becoming more and more evil." Blair replied.
"That makes sense!" Soos exclaimed, clearly not understanding.
I couldn't help but stare at Poppy's rose; If she was "dead", then why was it still fully in bloom? "Then why is Poppy's still alive?" I asked curiously.
"That's what I'm trying to figure out. The rose would already be dead as can be if she was dead." Will's wife replied.
"Maybe she's not dead..." Diana whispered, her eyes widening.
"What do you mean?" Wendy asked, leaning down.
"I mean, what if she's not dead but put under a curse? Like Sleeping Beauty!" Diana exclaimed, standing up.
"Of course, that would make sense! In Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent put a curse on her to make to seem like she was dead but was actually in a sleep like death." Dipper finished, smiling widely at our little girl.
"But who do we know that would do that to her?" Ford asked, pushing his up his glasses.
We all thought for a second before Will was the first to speak, "The Reverse Twins!"
"Of course! They're the only ones that would want revenge on us for what you and Blair did to them." I exclaimed.
"But why would they take revenge on all of us? Why not just take revenge on Will and Blair?" Stan asked, pointing to my brother and my sister-in-law.
"Because if they could break Tad, he would get his revenge on Bill first to break all of us. Only then would he take out the rest of us until they could take Will back." Dipper answered, strangely sounding as if this was a quiz show.
"That's it then! We just get her back so all this can stop!" Soos exclaimed.
"It's not gonna be easy. But I think I have a plan." I grinned, a plan growing inside of my devious brain.
"Oh great, another plan." Robbie groaned.
I then crowded everyone around before we all went off. Get ready, Tad. Your spell is about to broken.
