Weirdmageddon happened a couple months ago- you and your siblings convinced your parents to let you stay at the stans house for the school year- mainly because the unresolved trauma would be hard just the three of you because you couldn’t let anyone else know but they hesitantly said yes.

Bill was given another chance by the axolotl about a couple weeks ago- but all his powers were drained and he was small, about the size of your hand- not even (and you were 13 so that says a lot).

Fiddleford- whom came back after the whole situation- had for some reason had dipper and you catch bill while the others were out on a short expedition in the forest. Dipper had a firm grip on the little gremlin which clawed at his hands before dropping him into the bucket reluctantly that fiddleford held out.

Both you and dipper seemed hesitant when fiddleford insisted going down to the basement for a short moment. “Cmon now, it’ll only be just a few of yer minutes.” He persisted.

Eventually the both of you curved, following him into the basement. He placed bill into a small glass like container on the counter, “just how much do either of yer know about bill?”

The two spoke for a few about what bill was. You sorta spaced out but stopped when dipper tried to step forward and fiddleford added, “oh- stay behind the tape, son. For your own safety.”

“Huh- oh.. uhm. Hey. As thrilled I as I am to see this giant death ray you guys have been building…” dipper muttered

“Wha.. oh! Hohoho- this lady here is no death ray, don’t you fret. It’s something less violent.” Fiddleford said, grabbing something on the table.

“Hohoho - awfully relaxed, aren’t you fiddlesticks? When ford-“ bill tried to speak

“Cipher.. you’re not part of this conversation.” Fiddleford said before pressing a button that electrocuted bill. “We have no time for yer manipulation.”

Dipper paused, feeling a pang in his heart. He trembled slightly. This was just cruel. He wanted him gone as much as the next but.. this was too far.
