Dipper sat in the far corner of the metal cage, his body turned away from the cages locked door that continuously hummed with blue electricity. He kept his head down, repeatedly counting the small, cracks that ran through the concrete floor. He kept his hands wrapped tightly around his knees, trying his best to remain still. His body shook and seemed paralyzed in a mixture of emotions- fear, rage and disappointment. He reached for his head once or twice, but his blue and white baseball cap remained nowhere to be found.

His mind raced and went blank repeatedly, not slowing down, forming a pounding head ache. His body was sore from helplessly trying to break free from the cage. Slowly, Dipper had began to give up. He had tried everything that was possible and still nothing. His mind couldn't get over the fact that he had lost. It felt as if the cage was under water, and slowly Dipper was beginning to drown.

How long had he been locked away for? An hour? A day? Dippers mind filled with questions. Was Bill still waiting there silently behind him, waiting to watch and see his caged animal fight for freedom once again? Or had Bill vanished somewhere into the darkness of the mindscape again?

His mind couldn't quit thinking of all the possibilities now. What if Dipper was never set free? What if Mabel never found him? Would he live the rest of his short life here, stuck in a cage in the dimension that was home to Bill Cipher himself? Why couldn't have Dipper found away to defeat him yet? Why couldn't have Dipper fought back harder? What if not seeing Mabel ever again became his reality...?

"Just one chance... That's all I need." Dipper whispered under his hot breath, trying to hold back the burning sensation of sadness that formed in his throat.

All of a sudden the hair on the back of his neck rose. Wind began to blow wickedly, blowing the morphed black and white leaves in all directions. Dipper felt his presence return.

"One chance you say! One chance! Ha'! You would need like a million chances and to your luck you would still fail!" Bill mocked, his voice coming from behind. Dipper lifted his head slightly, feeling his anger return. He watched ahead of him as human like Bill appeared in his sight, circling around the cages perimeter. His yellow drench coat blew in the wind behind him, almost sweeping the ground.

"Trust me Pinetree when I say that its hopeless for you out there. You wouldn't make it ten minutes." Bill hissed, coming to a stop directly in front of Dippers view.

But Dipper wouldn't budge. He wouldn't let Ciphers taunting get to him again, it had already done all damage possible. 'Try me!' Dipper would have wanted to growl. But his mouth was dry and his heart pounded so loudly he was sure Bill could sense it.

Bill stood there for a moment longer, becoming angry at Dippers lack of pleading. Bill walked around to the front of the cage, no longer in Dippers view.

Then, when Dip had began to think Bill had left, he heard the sound of a metal clasp becoming unclasped. The electrical hum that he had began to grow used to had disappeared. He could hear the metal door slowly squeak his way open.

Dippers head snapped around, not believing what he had heard. He rose up, legs wobbly. He grabbed hold to one of the bars, steadying himself.

He looked ahead at the cage door that Bill held open. Dipper couldn't believe his eyes. He stared at his possible exit.

"You really think you are so clever? You think that you could find your way out? Well lets see, good luck Pinetree..." Bill said, cocking his head to the side.

"Y-you're letting me OUT?" Dipper exclaimed, voice cracking. He looked beyond the cage at the twisted black and white landscape.

"As if you really could escape this place. This is the mindscape kid. Nothing gets out unless I let it. Go ahead and try to. I dare you!"

"Wait but-" Dipper began to yell.

Bill hissed, "Go."
