*Hey guys!

This is my first ever fanfiction, and my first ever story written without original character. This is a BillDip fanfiction, so if you don't ship demons with 12 year olds, you should just scurry on out of her (I'm joking, Bill is humanized, and Dipper is aged up to 16). If you don't like this ship, please don't waste your time telling me how much you hate it. It won't change my opinion, you'll just look like a dick.

I also just want to say that my heart goes out to everybody in Paris at the moment. I know saying that won't help, but just know America stands with you. Vive la France!

Alright so, with that being said, please enjoy my first ever fanfiction!*

WARNING: Dipper has anxiety, so if you are triggered by mentions of panic attacks, this is your warning. There is foul language, and there may be slight sexual themes in later chapter. I'm not going to say you have to be 18 or older to read this, but if you're too immature to handle that on a mental level, you shouldn't be reading this. There is slight spoilers for Gravity Falls episodes "Dipper and Mabel vs. the Future" and "Weirdmaggedon: Part 1" if you haven't seen those two episodes, spoilers ahead. One last thing, "Weirdmaggedon: part 2" is not out yet, so I have no idea what will actually happen. Everything in this fanfiction is merely my take on everything, and should NOT be taken as cannon. :WARNING

Chapter 1

It's been four long years since Dipper last visited Gravity Falls. After he decided to leave with his sister Mabel, rather than staying with his Great Uncle Ford, he told himself that he would go back to Gravity Falls. He did not care if it was only for a Summer, or how long it took to convince his parents to send him back, he just knew he was going. There were still so many question he had that were left unanswered. And not only that, he didn't even get to finish the 3rd book.

Needless to say, Dipper is excited to spend another Summer in quirky little Gravity Falls with his twin sister. The two had grown since then, physically and mentally, now that they're 16. The only one downfall Dipper can see from this is his anxiety and paranoia rising. He hasn't had a panic attack in two years and he hopes to keep it that way. He doesn't know what he would have to worry about though, they had defeated the legendary demon, Bill Cipher, and brought peace back to Gravity Falls. He was sure everything would be fine.

As their parents parked the car in front of the Mystery Shack, which is still as broken down as always, Dipper couldn't help but know there was something wrong. He didn't know why he was feeling that way,
though. Mabel had visited Grunkle Stan not too long ago after he had his little accident, so if there was anything going on here, she would have told him.

The twins got out of the car after saying their last goodbyes, and thank you's, to their parents for taking the long trip from California to Oregon. It was like the Oregon trail all over again. Except no one got dysentery and died. And the Oregon trail started in Missouri. So come to think of it that was a stupid analogy.

Mabel had already ran into the shack while Dipper lagged behind, taking in his familiar surroundings. He really had missed this place. He walks up to the front door and pushes it open, ringing a small bell. He is suddenly greeted by his Grunkle Stan, who looks delighted to see him. He looks exactly the same as he did four years ago, but the same couldn't be said about Dipper. He really had grown. He is much taller than he was before, and his face has slimmed down, making him more handsome than the cute Little Dipper Gravity Falls had once known.

Stan suddenly pulls the brunette into a tight hug, causing Dipper to almost not be able to breath.
"G-Grunkle Stan! Please let go I-I can't breath!"
"Ah! Sorry kid," Stan says in his same raspy voice, letting go of the 16 year old, "just hadn't seen you in a while is all."

Dipper smiled at his uncle. The man certainly does care for his niece and nephew.

Stan looks over the teen before shaking his head, "you and your sister both have grown up on me. What happened to that short kid who used to run around shouting out big words that made me feel like a dumbass?"

Dipper let out a soft chuckle, "he grew up."

Stan smiled at the boy, then spoke, "oh Dipper. I forgot there is one thing you should know,"

Before Dipper could respond to his uncle, a young man, maybe about 20, called from behind the con artist, "Stan I understand this is your house, but could you please clean up after yourself? You are a grown man."

Dipper looks at the man from behind Stan, and his smile slightly fades. The man is tall, but shorter than Dipper, with yellow and black hair. He's wearing black dress pants and a yellow long sleeved sweater, that looks much too big for his thin body. His skin is a sun kissed tan color, almost like gold. But the one thing that stood out to Dipper the most, was his eye. Yes eye. As in singular, for the other was covered by the mans hair. The bright, yellow eye looked all too familiar, and sent a chill down Dippers spine.

The teen looks back at Stan and asks simply, "who is that?"

The elder man sighs quietly, "well Dipper, that's Bill."

Dipper suddenly widens his eyes and looks back at the young man, who is now grinning, "Ah! Pine tree!~ Good to see you after all these years."

But Dipper was not smiling. Not even a little. He looks back at his uncle, and whispers harshly, "What is it doing here? And why does it look like a human?"

Stan looks back at Bill slightly, then at the boy, "well he lives here now. He has since you left."

This caused a stiffen from Dipper.
"What? Why? Why would you let that... That THING stay here?"
"Because he had nowhere else to go Dipper. He was banished from the Dreamscape and given back his human mortal form. He's completely harmless now, all his powers got taken away from him," Stan replies back to the doe eyed boy.

Bill walks towards them, intruding on the conversation, "well actually I still have a little magic, it's just very limited."

Dipper shoots daggers at the demon Dorito before looking back at Grunkle Stan, "and do you know how much pain that monster had caused me? Do you know that when I got home I had to take therapy? Do you know that I have anxiety now because of the trauma he caused me when I was only 12? 12!"

Stan sighs again, "I know, but he really has change Dipper. Yes he is still snarky, and sadistic, and strange, but he is a human who made a few bad mistakes."

"A few? A few! Grunkle Stan he ripped my soul out of my body! He almost caused the end of the world! And you say he only made a few mistakes?" Dipper is fuming. He hasn't remembered being this mad since Mabel's last boyfriend dumped her.

The con artist looks at his nephew for a while before speaking, "I know Dipper. But this is Bill's home now too. I'm not going to force you to be around him kid, but at least try to give him a chance."

Dipper rolls his eyes, "I can't believe Great Uncle Ford even agreed to this."

Stan smiled, "Great Uncle Ford was the first one to accept him in," Stan gives Dipper a pat on the shoulder before walking further into the Mystery Shack.

Bill grinned, staring at the teen standing before him. Kid sure has grown up since the last time he saw him, "You know Pine Tree, Shooting Star was much more nicer to me when she first saw me haha."

The teen shoots another dagger at the darker skinned man.

"Don't talk to me. You and I, we'll never be friends, ok? It won't happen. I don't care if you have changed, what you did to me can never be repaid. So do me a favor and leave me alone. Don't come near me, don't say 'hi' to me, don't even talk about me to somebody else. Because no matter what you say or do, I will always hate you."

Dipper walks away after that, leaving the demon to watch him, almost smiling as he does.

"Well. It seems as though the Little Dipper, isn't so little anymore."
