Sorry for not updating! Writers block. Sadly, My main fandom is not Gravity Falls anymore, but hopefully i'll find it in my time too update! Also, sorry for Bill not talking much in any of the other chapters x3 He may or may not talk in this one, dunno, it all depends really. Anyway, Let's being! Sorry if it's not good, Writers block is sinful.

Bill's eye slowly opened to reveal the small attic room, sunlight bathing his surroundings. Judging by the color of the light the sun was just rising over the horizon. Bill blinked some of the sleepiness out of his eyes, a little bit surprised at himself. He had actually slept..? He didn't even remember falling asleep. Guess that was just another reminder that he wasn't a dream demon anymore. Axolotl, he used to know everything down to the smallest detail in the whole multiverse and now he couldn't even remember something as simple as falling asleep! He glanced over at Pine Tree, checking if he was awake yet. Apparently not, considering the fact that his eyes were still closed and he still had the cover Mabel gave him draped over himself. Bill perked up a little, seeing an opportunity to try and escape. But Bill highly doubted that Pine Tree would've opened the window he had been trying to escape from, considering the cold and the fact that Pine Tree was probably smart enough to know that if he did leave it open, Bill would have a free chance at escape. He could try the front door, but that was probably locked and that it was too risky. Ford or Stan could walk into the room at any given time and then where would he be? Down in Ford's lab dead or worse.

Bill spent almost all of the morning wondering how he could escape without being suspected. He had come up with a pretty decent plan once Dipper's alarm clock went off, successfully startling Bill. A few seconds afterwards, Pine Tree slowly rose up from the light blue blanket and turned the alarm off. He stretched a few times and then stood up. He looked over at the alarm clock and, as if remembering something important, started darting around the room and grabbing various items and stuffing them into a bag. He heard Dipper mutter something with the words "Ford" and "Monster Hunt". Before Bill could analyze the sentence any further, Dipper unwrapped him from the blanket he was wrapped in and basically shoved him into the bag along with all the others things he had grabbed. Bill had half a mind to shout at Dipper, but he decided against it, considering Ford would likely recognize his voice and come charging up the stairs.

"Sorry about that Bill, but i'm in a rush right now, and I couldn't exactly have Mabel watching you. God knows what she would do." Dipper apologized, hurrying across the room to grab his signature blue hat and placing it atop his head in a attempt to cover his untidy hair. A few minutes later Dipper quickly zipped up the bag, a small part of it unzipped, and swung it onto his back.

"So, As I was saying, My radar's been detecting unusually high weirdness levels, and we're going to try and trap a few of the new anomalies so we can research them. Got that Dipper?" Ford asked, him and Dipper walking deeper into the woods surrounding the Mystery Shack and the town of Gravity Falls.

"Yea, Considering we do this almost everyday, this should be pretty easy." Dipper responded. Ford chuckled a small bit and then dropped his bag and started looking through it. "What're you looking for?" Dipper questioned.

"My paranormal activity radar." Ford plainly stated. Dipper nearly panicked, knowing that the radar would probably go insane since Bill was so close. This was confirmed once he felt said triangle stiffen and stop fidgeting around in his bag upon hearing Ford's words.

"A-Are you sure we really need it? I mean, we should be able to find any anomalies on our own, right?" Dipper questioned, not wanting Bill to be found this early on. He definitely didn't want or need Ford freaking out on him and taking away his apprenticeship.

"Well of course we need it! If we didn't need it why would I have brought it?" Ford replied, rummaging through the bag a bit more before finding what he was looking for. Moments after he pulled the radar out of the bag, all the lights on it started blinking rapidly. It seemed as if the whole device was going haywire, the little needle point pointing towards Dipper.

"Dipper, is there anything unusual in your bag?" Ford questioned, raising his eyebrow ever so slightly.

"Of course not! Why would I have something unusual in my bag!?" Dipper responded, nervously clinging his bag a bit tighter. Ford's suspicions grew and he eyed the bag curiously.

"Dipper, hand me the bag. I'm sure it can't be that bad!" Ford said, stretching his hand out expectantly.

"No." Dipper refused, taking a step backwards.

"Dipper. Hand it over." Ford stated sternly, deciding that he wasn't getting anywhere with the nice guy approach. Dipper hesitated for a few minutes longer, and then sighed after thinking it over.

"Just... Just promise not to hurt him, ok? No matter what." Dipper said, looking at Ford, a pleading look in his eyes. Ford simply nodded. Dipper reluctantly gave Ford the medium sized bag, praying that he might have the small chance of keeping his apprenticeship and keeping Bill safe at the same time. The sound of a zipper being un-zipped jolted him away from his hopes, and he sharply inhaled. He heard Ford give a sharp, short scream of surprise, and he saw his bag thrown across the harsh ground in haste. Bill tumbled out due to the throw and banged against a nearby tree. Ford quickly drew one of his many advanced weapons from the inside of his tan trench coat and shakily aimed at Bill.

Sorry about it not being my normal quality. As I said, WRITERS BLOCK! I'm currently listening to songs and making Gravity Falls versions of them, don't mind me... Anyway, kinda cliffhanger? I'm so sorry for not updating at all, I'm sinful, I know. Anyway, REMEMBER, REALITY IS A ILLUSION, THE UNIVERSE IS A HOLOGRAM, BUY GOLD BYEEEEE!
