The wind rustled through the trees as Dipper and Mabel hugged Grunkle Stan. Bill watched on, glad the two of them had enjoyed their time in Gravity Falls.

Stan and Bill had had a long talk following their adventure in stopping Gideon, and Stan was finally able to understand why Bill had turned the portal off.

Stan even offered Bill a room to stay in as long as he earned his keep working for the Mystery Shack.

Wendy have Dipper one more hug before he climbed onto the bus, and Mabel pranced over to Bill.

"Do you like the sweater?" She inquired.

Bill was sporting a bright yellow sweater which she had knitted for him which had an image of his old form stitched into the front of it.

"Like it?" He said. "I love it!"

She grinned, hugged him one more time before scurrying onto the bus.

Bill, Stan, Wendy, and Soos waved goodbye as the bus disappeared. The September sun was setting in the distance.

After Dipper and Mabel had left, Soos and Wendy went home. Bill and Stan sat on the porch of the Mystery Shack.

"So my brother basically turned into an owl?" Stan inquired.

Bill shrugged.

"A being of pure energy actually, but yes. He took the form of an owl." Bill replied.

"Do you think we can find him?" Stan asked.

Bill smiled, gazing off into the distance.

"Oh yes. I think it'll be easier than you think." said Bill, as a hooting came from deep in the forest...

The two sat talking until Stan got tired and went to bed. Bill remained out, gazing at the moon.

He was eager to start his new life as a human. He smiled to himself. And even more eager for the next summer when Pinetree and Shooting Star would come again.
