It was an average day at the Mystery shack, well as average as it could get since the twins had snapped. You must be thinking, 'How the hell did that happen?' Well let me explain. It was a few weeks ago, about 2 I'd say. The twins were both 15 and had decided, with permission from their parents, to attend school in Gravity Falls, a town they hadn't stepped foot in for 2 years.
Our tale begins one weekend two weeks ago, when the twins had decided to go and explore the forest and had stumbled upon the frozen statue of Bill's remains. It was covered in graffiti and trash. "Looks like they finally found you, huh, Bill?" Dipper sighed. Mabel frowned, "I know we was a insane killer demon, but no one deserves their remains desecrated." Dipper nodded his agreement. So, between the two of them, they cleaned up the graffiti and debris, before sitting down. Dipper sat down on the statue, while Mabel took to leaning against it. "I know it's probably a bad thing, but I kinda miss him running a muck and causing mayhem." Dipper commented. Mabel frowned, "Actually, Dipping dots, I feel the same way" A chuckle came from behind them, "Aw~ I didn't know you two felt that way about me!" A voice exclaimed cheerfully. Dipper fell off the statue in shock, only to be caught in a golden hue mere inches from the ground and sat down gently, "Careful Pine tree, you'll end up giving yourself a nose bleed." the voice said. The twins both looked to where the voice had come from, fully expecting a golden triangular demon, but, instead, seeing a male no older they were in a black tux and a golden dress shirt, holding a black cane. He looked to be of Egyptian descent, with blonde hair on top and dark brown hair at the back,and glowing golden eyes, a smirk decorating his features.
"Bill!" Dipper exclaimed, immediately feeling on edge, "How? I thought..." Dipper trailed off, trying to understand the conundrum that was the dream demon before them. Bill chuckled, "Simple really. I didn't die. I was merely returned back to the spirit world to get my shit together. Ya see, little pine tree, Im yours and your sister's guardian, which means my personality reflects your true selves." Bill said with a purr. Mabel snorted, "So, we're supposed to be insane psycho killers?" She asked sarcastically. "Well, your fathers are two of the darkest wizards, so some mental instability is to be expected, yes, especially considering who your godmother is." Bill replied rather dryly. Dipper tilted his head in confusion, "Wait, wizards? Fathers as in plural? Godmother? What are you talking about?" Dipper asked, seriously confused. Bill was shocked, "Wait, do you two not know? How? What the fuck? Did you two not get your letters?" Bill wondered aloud. Mabel frowned, "What letters?" Bill growled, "You two were supposed to get your letters to Hogwarts! Ya know, the school of witchcraft and wizardry?" Another blank look.
Bill was barely able to keep his fury down. "The only person I think of who could have caused any of this is that bastard Dumbledore!" He exclaimed in expertly hidden anger, before turning to Dipper, "Well, Pine tree, it looks like you and I are going to make a trip into your mind." Bill said, "We need to find out what the hell went wrong." Dipper hesitated for a second, thinking about it for a second, before nodding. Bill strode over to the shorter male and placed his hands on Dippers temples and closed his eyes, entering Dipper's mind. He opened his eyes and he and Dipper were standing, or rather floating, in what looked like a starry space. "Alright, kid, I'm going to need you to focus on creating a door that leads to the rest of your mind, this is just the entrance hall." He asked Dipper, who nodded, and not long after, a large blue pine tree shaped door appeared. "Good job, kid!" Bill exclaimed, before pulling Dipper through the door. They were face with 4 doors, each having a label, memories, abilities, personality, and core.
"Alright, the core first, thats were a majority of the seals will be." Bill informed Dipper, dragging him over to the door. He paused just outside the door, "Uh, you'll have to open it, I can't enter any of the rooms here until you open the door first." Bill said with an embarrassed blush. Dipper nodded and stepped forward and opened the door. Inside was a brilliant blue core of magic, bound tightly in several chains. "Holy shit, you weren't kidding, were you Bill?" Dipper asked in a whisper. "Nope!" Bill replied, popping the 'p'. Bill brushed by Dipper and entered the room and walked right up to the tightly bound core. He popped his fingers before grabbing a hold of a chain and pulling as hard as he could. Dipper felt pain rush through him and he fell to his knees, in pain, "Whatever your gonna do, Bill, do it fast!" He hissed through the pain. Bill looked back at him and let out a string of curses, "I'll try, Pine tree." He answered, before pulling even harder. The chain came free with a loud clang, the rest soon following. Bill quickly grabbed Dipper and stepped out of the room for a moment, as the core rapidly grew and filled Dipper's physical body up with brand new energy. Dipper gasped at the feeling. Bill set Dipper down on his feet, "Alright, which one next, memories, personality, or abilities?" Bill asked him. Dipper glanced at the remaining doors, before pointing at personality. "Let's do that one next." Dipper said, walking over to the door and opening it, letting Bill inside of it. They walked in to see 4 dipper look-a-likes laying asleep and bound. Bill chuckled, "Who would have thought that the different aspects of your personality would look like the alternate versions of you." Bill walked over to the first one. He was taller then the other three in a blue general's suit with a sword in a hilt attached to his hip. Bill grabbed the bind around him and snapped it, effectively waking him. He shot up like a bolt into the air. "W-what happened!" He exclaimed, before seeing Bill and Dipper, then he calmed down marginally. He glanced at the other 3 in the room and growled, "That bastard Dumbledore! The last thing I remember is trying to fend off his mind magic with the others and then it became too much and then nothing. You, dream demon, how long has it been?" He demanded. Bill chuckled, "Well, first, Im the kids guardian, not just any regular demon. Second, Dippers 15 now." Bill answered. Dipper was still staring at the man in awe. Bill approached the next sleeping dipper look-a-like. He was about Dipper's height, a band-aid on his cheek, wearing a red letter-man jacket, a black undershirt, brown shorts and a pair of green sneakers. Bill snapped his binds, and gained a similar reaction as the first one. Bill paid it no mind and approached the third one. He wore a dark blue dress shirt with a vest that matched the color of Dipper's magic, and a pair of tight black jeans and a pair of black riding boots, a black cape over it all. Bill made quick work of his binds as well and approached the last one. His appearance made Bill pause for a moment. He was shorter then the first one, but taller then the last two. He wore a black suit with the jacket opened to show his black vest and white dress shirt, he had a top hat and cane laying beside him, and his jacket coat tails closely resembled bat wings. Bill shrugged in an 'oh well' motion and snapped his binds too and took a step back as he quickly sat up in a panic with a shout of "No!" The other four quickly came over upon hearing this. "Bill, what did you do?" Dipper asked him. Bill held his hands up in surrender, "Peace, Pine tree, I did nothing. Why don't you ask him why he's shouting." Bill suggested. Dipper took another glance at Bill, before turning back to the other four.
"So, um, are you okay?" Dipper asked awkwardly. The dipper in black nodded, "It's just, I was the last to be bound by Dumbledore." he explained. Dipper nodded, "So, who are all of you?" This got all four standing. "The tallest is Guardian, he's your curiosity and logic. He's the one thats impacted your personality the most, seeing as his binds were the weakest. The one in the letter-man is Tyrone, he's your love of fighting, and just violence in general. The one in the blue vest is Mason, he's your pride and confidence." The one in the black suit introduced, pointing at each one in turn, each nodding or bowing at their introduction. Dipper nodded, "And what about you?" he asked. The unnamed one gave a dark smirk, "I am Alcor, your lack of sanity and your strong sense of common sense." Dipper frowned, "Wait how can you be insane and yet, have common sense?" Alcor shrugged, "Don't ask me, Im apart of you after all." Dipper frowned, "Fair point"
After that delightful introduction, Bill and Dipper went back out into the main hall, followed by the others. "So, kid, which one's next?" Bill asked him. Dipper silently dragged the demon over to the door marked abilities. They got inside and many of the pedestals were chained up. Quick thinking was the only one not under chains. There were 4 others that were chained, but thankfully, the chains were connected, so removing one would remove the other 3. Bill grabbed a hold of the chain and pulled as hard as he could, chain finally coming off with a loud clang, revealing the other 4 to be wandless magic, snake animagus, natural legilimens, and stone cold killer. Dipper felt his stomach drop at the sight, but he was also strangely OK with it. They left the room and approached the last one, the one that Dipper had been dreading, Memories. He opened the door and it revealed to be library like. Dipper assumed that the books were his memories and knowledge. Bill and Dipper walked over to the only bookcase with chains on it. Bill looked at Dipper, and Dipper took a deep breath, before nodding the go ahead. Bill grabbed the chains and pulled, and they came off with a clang, before disappearing like the others all did. All of a sudden, Dipper had a rush of memories appear before, of him and Mabel with two men, 'Dad and Father' his mind supplied, spending time with them and just being taken care of, then it was just Dipper and Mabel and Dad with a red headed firecracker with a pale skinned son who leaked black stuff from his eyes. He remembers getting along with the boy, 'Harry', he remembers the woman coming with Father and binding the twins lives with Harry's and binding Harry's life with Father's, then her putting spells and charms on Harry, making him look like a normal baby. Then the attack happened. Dumbledore came up after killing Dad, and killed the red headed woman. Father tried to fight back, but was forced from his physical form. Dumbledore had then turned to them and bound the twins before apparating away. He re-appeared in the town where Dipper and Mabel grew up in, and gave the twins over to Stanford and Stanley, who obviously knew what was going on. Then as fast as it happened, Dipper was back in the library. Dipper felt fury fill him. "When I get my hands on Ford and Stan, they will severely regret what they did!" He growled. Bill raised an eyebrow in questioning and Dipper gave him a brief run down of what he had seen. Bill nodded, "Wait till I deal with Shooting Star, then the two of you can go crazy." and with that, the two of them were back in the real world.
Dipper turned to Mabel, "How long was I in there?" Mabel looked at her watch, "About 15 minutes." Dipper nodded. "Alright Shooting Star, your turn." Bill said, before entering her mind. While he was doing that, Dipper sat down on the ground in the warm sunlight and close his eyes, looking for that energy, his magic, and tried to bring it to the surface. When Bill was done with Mabel, who was fuming mind you, he turned to see Dipper meditating and floating a good couple of inches of the ground. He chuckled and snapped his fingers in front of Dipper's face, snapping him out of it and he fell to the ground with a yelp. Dipper stood up with a frown. "Must you do that?" He asked him, while Bill simply smirked. Dipper rolled his eyes and turned to Mabel, "Hey, Mabel! Are we?" He began to ask, but stopped at the look Mabel was giving him. "Oh definitely." She growled out, "Hey Bill, can you summon us some knives?" Mabel asked him, insane fury audible in her voice. Bill grinned darkly and handed the twins a knife each. "It will always return to you, all you have to do is focus." He explained. They nodded before taking off towards the mystery shack.
Once they got there, they walked right in. Wendy had stopped working at the shack last summer, and Soos had already gone home to his abuelita at that point, so they marched right into the house. They exchanged looks before having a mutual agreement to split up. If one were to have passed by the shack at the time, they would have been worried at the blood curdling screams that resonated from within, and the strong smell of iron that wafted from inside. Once the screams stopped, Mabel and Dipper both walked back into the living room, exchanging dark smirks. "Their both taken care of now, so time for clean up and a plausible excuse for them being missing. We don't want the police after us just yet." Dipper said. Mabel nodded, "Yes, that would cause us more trouble than it's worth. So, how about they went on another sailing trip and they'll be gone for a few weeks and they wanted the shop closed while they were gone?" Dipper thought about it for a moment, before nodding, "That sounds good." He replied.
Which brings us back to our current time, as Harry, EJ, Jeff, and Tom appeared, just outside the shack. Harry walked up, and was about to knock, when a teenager dressed in a suit with a golden undershirt opened up the door. "Hello, Im Bill, the twins' guardian dream demon. You must be little Harry. Come in, the twins have been expecting you since they felt your scrying." Bill said in a rather loud and announcing tone of voice. Harry entered, followed by the others into the rather small living room. The twins came down the stairs, looking much different then what they did 2 weeks ago. Dipper wore a brilliant blue t-shirt, and black skinny jeans and a pair of black riding boots, and a black leather jacket. Mabel had decided to leave her sweaters to occasions when she knew she wouldn't be getting them covered in blood, so now, she wore a pink muscle shirt, a red an white zipper hoodie that stopped at the bottom of her ribs, black jean shorts and a pair of black converse, her hair pulled up into a ponytail. They both had their knives hidden away on their persons. Harry gave them a soft smile, "Its good to see you two again." Dipper nodded, "Like wise." The twins glanced around him to the nervous Tom Riddle, before both gave a shout of joy, "Father!" They exclaimed, before glomping the man. Bill laughed at the sight. Harry smiled softly at the sight. "Well, how about we brake this barrier and head home?" He suggested with a dark smirk.
