Chapter Notes

Disclaimers: I do not own Gravity Falls

Author's Note's:

Me: Yes the final chapter!

Random Fan: What about chapter 15?

Bill: that's just a summary of what's coming up next in the series

Me: but you still need to read it for the challenge!

Bill: ooo a challenge? I love challenges!

Random Fan: me too!

Me: Can we just read already I'm sure everyone is sitting on the edge of their seats here.

Bill: Okay fine. (Starts to read) Later that evening with Mabel...

(Later that evening with Mabel...)

She could feel it all around her…

The darkness of the dreaded impending doom was closing in!

"This is bad!" Ivan whispered as the group exited his van in front of their motel in Portland, Oregon.

Mabel nodded. "Bill must be close to getting what he wants."

"You don't know the half of it." Steve the gnome said as he appeared behind them. Everyone jumped.

"Steve how many times have I told you no popping up like that!" Mabel exclaimed.

"Sorry I forget most beings; human, or otherwise can't keep up with my fast pace." Steve apologized. "But this is important!" he said holding up a folded piece of paper.

"Steve what's going on?" Candy asked as she and the rest of the gang from inside the hotel came out to surround the van.

"I went to Gravity Falls to gather Intel just as you asked." Steve said to Candy.

"Wait you sent him out alone!" Mabel exclaimed.

"He's the fastest of my men." Jeff explained. "We wanted to gather information so we could go straight to planning when you got back."

"And it's a good thing we did." Steve explained. "Cause Dipper gave me this!"

"Dipper?" Mabel whispered taking the paper from him.

"Dude you saw him?" Wendy asked.

Steve nodded. "He's a full blown demon now! Demon form, and everything, but he's still the same Dipper." He explained. "He says he'll be our inside man and feed us information."

"Oh Dipper!" Mabel unfolded the paper hopefully, and began to read it out loud.

Mabel,

Okay where do I start? Well uh I kind of gave into my demon side, and now I'm a floating pine tree demon with a tie and hat. Yeah that's a thing now! Anyway Bill has freed me from my prison, and seems to trust me. But there's a lot of tension in town, because Bill basically grounded the demons for defying him. And he won't take the barrier down until after our wedding in two weeks.

Oh yeah by the way Bill asked me to marry him, and I said yes. Please don't kill me!

-Dipper

"They're getting married!" Wendy exclaimed!

Mabel crumbled the piece of paper with a look of pure determination on her face. "Not if we can help it!" she looked to Steve. "When can Dipper see you again?"

"Tonight." Steve answered.

"Then take me with you, we need more information to plan our assault on Bill." Mabel declared.

"If you hop on my shoulders we can make it in record time!" Steve assured her.

"But you're so small…" Mabel said looking unsure.

"Trust me I'm stronger than I look." Steve assured her.

Mabel nodded and hopped onto Steve's shoulders, and to her surprise he didn't fall over.

"Be careful Mabel." Wendy ordered.

Mabel nodded. "We'll be back as soon as possible." She said with a forced smile and then to Steve she said. "Let's go Steve!"

Steve nodded and took off running into the already setting sun.

Their friends watched them go, each one of them hoping that the two would make it to Dipper in time.

(Back with Dipper...)

'This is humiliating!' Dipper screamed inwardly as Pyronica helped his pine tree form slip into a white flowing wedding gown.

'Just deal with it King!' Light advised. 'It's not like we have any say in this!'

Dipper knew he was probably right, but then again he couldn't help; but roll his eye and groan slightly.

"Is there something wrong?" Pyronica asked.

"No it's just…" Dipper paused, then with a sigh he asked; "Do I really have to wear a dress?"

"Bill wants the wedding to be perfect." Pyronica explained. "He also wants to honor you by following human wedding traditions. And the bride in human weddings wear white dresses."

"Yeah but…" Dipper began.

"If you don't like this one we can try a few others." Pyronica assured him.

"I really don't want to try on dresses!" Dipper snapped.

Pyronica seemed to nod as if she understood. "This is all moving too fast for you isn't it?"

Dipper nodded. "How'd you know?"

"It's written all over your face." Pyronica admitted.

"Don't get me wrong." Dipper assured her. "I love Bill, but we humans like these things to go at a much slower pace."

"We'll I'm sure if he didn't have so much to prove then it would." Pyronica assured him as she made a few adjustments to the dress.

"What do you mean so much to prove?" Dipper asked looking as clueless as he sounded.

"You really have no idea what's going to happen at this wedding do you?"

Dipper shook his head.

Pyronica rolled her eye, "Leave it to Bill to leave out the important stuff." She sat down on a stool beside him. "Well it's like this you see, marriage is supposed to make two people one in a metaphorical sense." She explained. "And demon marriage is pretty similar except it's not metaphorical, it's literal."

"Wait what?" Dipper was confused.

Pyronica groaned in annoyance, "Seriously? The two of you are going to become bonded, that means you, and Bill are going to fuse together!"

"We're going to be one person!" Dipper screamed like his worst nightmare just came to life.

"Calm down!" Pyronica hissed. "You will fuse for a brief moment, then you'll separate." She explained. "The brief fusion allows the two demons to literally become one, in body, mind, and spirit. You know what each other's feeling without the need for words, not to mention you'll actually be able to produce young-"

Wait what!" Dipper screamed.

"Only bonded demons can have children with other demons silly," Pyronica shook her head. "Other demons without a bonded mate can only have half breaded young with other creatures. And no Kingdom is going to want their future ruler to be a half breed!"

"No one said anything about kids!" Dipper screamed, more loudly this time.

"Calm down" Pyronica advised as she noticed Dipper was starting to turn dangerously red. "Trust me, you too are meant for each other I can feel it."

"Everyone else sure doesn't seem to think so!" Dipper said with a roll of his eye.

"Well once you two fuse no one will have the guts to disobey either of you." Pyronica whispered.

"Wait why not?" Dipper asked.

"Once you fuse together both your energy levels will sky rocket!" Pyronica explained. "You will become the most powerful beings in the multiverse; you'll be God's! Well Bill will be the God and you'll be his Goddess."

"God's?" Dipper squeaked.

"Yep that's why that silly little Zodiac won't work anymore." Pyronica continued to ramble on.

"Wait back up." Dipper demanded. "What do you mean that's why? What does being a God have to do with the Zodiac not working?"

"Well you see Time Baby put the curse of the Zodiac on Bill when he was a low class demon. You see there are five classes of demons; Newborns, Underlings, Aristocrats, Alpha's and Gods/Goddess. Newborns being the weakest and the Gods/Goddess being the strongest. Anyways since Time Baby was a God the only way for the Zodiac curse to be lifted is for Bill to become a God and lift it himself. The thing is Demons can't become God's in less they fuse with another demon."

"So that's what Bill meant…" Dipper whispered. "When he said that after the wedding the Zodiac would be useless."

Pyronica nodded. "Yep; but who cares about that dumb old circle, you're going to be a Goddess! No other queen in any other detention of the multiverse will have your power!"

'She's right King if Mabel can't stop Bill before the wedding, then saying I do is the only way we'll become strong enough to defeat him ourselves.' Light warned him of the obvious.

'So either way I have to pick a dress?' Dipper asked with a tone of utter defeat.

'Yep!' Light said with a slight chuckle.

"So any more questions?" Pyronica asked.

"Uh does this dress make me look fat?" Dipper asked dumbly.

Pyronica smiled. "You look lovely, Bill's a lucky guy."

"You really think so?" Dipper asked.

"It's not often we demons end up with a mate we actually can stand. Most of us just pick a strong enough mortal to bare our children and deal with them long enough until we can delete them out of the picture. But to actually find someone we can stand to be around for the rest of eternity; that's something special."

Dipper couldn't help it as his eye curved into an easy smile. He'd be lying if he said there wasn't some kind of chemistry between them. "Yeah it is special isn't it?" He said with a sigh.

'Why King I'm impressed.' Light mused. 'I thought you'd be panicking by now.'

'I'm not panicking, because Bill isn't going to get that far.' Dipper reminded him. 'Mabel is going to stop him before the wedding. She has too.'

'And if she doesn't?' Light asked.

'Then we're stuck with Bill forever!' Dipper shivered at the thought.

'True, but that would be a small price to pay' Light reasoned, 'I mean it's the only way we're going to gain enough energy in record timing. After all you heard Ford if we go about this the long way it could take centuries for us to get as powerful as Bill, and then even longer to finally get more powerful then him. At least this way we'll start off on even ground.'

'It won't come to that!' Dipper snapped back.

But Light knew he was only trying to convince himself of the matter.

'For their sakes,' Light whispered. 'I hope not…'

(Meanwhile back with Bill in the Penthouse Suite…)

"So Teeth how do I look?" Bill asked as he finished bottoming up the shirt of his suit.

"Great Boss, but why the suit?" Teeth asked nervously.

"I'm wearing it for Pine Tree, it'll make him happy that I'm taking this seriously." Bill explained.

"And we want him happy because…?" Teeth asked.

"I don't know." Bill said sarcastically. "It's not like the kid transformed into a demon of vengeance that's going to be hell-bent on giving us all our just deserts!"

"So why marry him?" Teeth asked.

"I can give you three good reasons." Bill said as he admired himself in a large mirror. "For starters we, wed and then the zodiac is no more, which means our hold over this realm and the entire multiverse will be absolute! Reason number 2: If I have to fuse with someone in order to reach my ultimate goal, then I'd rather it be someone I can stand. You know since I'm going to be stuck with them for all eternity. And finally I deserve some kind of reward for all my hard work."

"Reward?" Teeth asked. "I thought winning over this dimension was your reward."

"No you idiot!" Bill snapped. "Winning over this dimension was the goal not the reward. There's ten thousand more just like it to conquer! Not to mention I have to share this dimension with all of you. That's no prize! Pine Tree is my future Queen, my mate, the child barer of your future King. Someone who is just mine; forever and ever!" Bill exclaimed as he finished perfecting his bow tie.

"So he's just an object?" Teeth dared to ask.

Bill turned dangerously red. "THAT IS YOUR FUTURE QUEEN THAT YOU JUST DARED TO DISRESPECT!" he screamed as he grew in size.

"I'm sorry boss I-" Teeth stuttered.

Bill grabbed Teeth in a viper's grip. "If any of you turn him against me with your judgmental disrespect I will not hesitate to tear you limb from limb. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?" Bill released him then and turned back to his reflection.

"Yes master, crystal clear!" Teeth said through coughs as he gasped for air.

"Good now take this suit for a cleaning." Bill ordered taking the suit off and throwing it in his face. "Everything must be perfect for our special day."

"Right away boss." Teeth obeyed, rushing the suit off to the nymphs. The nymphs were small fairies that were serving as slaves in the castle.

Bill sighed, all this wedding planning was giving him a headache. 'Maybe I should have Pine Tree join me for dinner?' he thought. 'We could discuss the humans and what their new role will be once we expand the Kingdom.' Bill nodded to himself and decided to go and find his beloved sapling.

(Back with Dipper…)

'Thank goodness, I'd thought she'd never leave!' Light hissed as Pyronica finally left the room; leaving them alone.

Dipper sighed as he looked into his bedroom mirror to see Light standing before him where his own reflection should be.

"We should slip away!" Light whispered. "Before King Dorito shows up!"

Dipper looked out the window and noticed that the sun was nearly set. "Steve I almost forgot! We have to warn them!"

"Then let's get going!" Light hissed.

Dipper floated towards his window and raced out into the night.

"Pine Tree, Darling?" Bill said sweetly as he stepped into the now empty room moments later.

'Darling?' Wrath asked. 'Since when do we call him darling?'

'We're getting married.' Bill reasoned. 'All couples address each other with darling and honey, and whatever. You know lovey dovey stuff.'

'He has a point.' Lust reasoned. 'Dipper is a helpless romantic and being all love dovey and romantic just might help lessen the strain in the relationship.'

'What strain?' Pride asked.

'Hello we destroyed his world and his family!' Envy yelled.

'Give him a century or two and he'll be over it.' Wrath assured him.

"Hey where is Pine Tree?" Bill asked suddenly realizing that his beloved sapling wasn't present.

'He's gone!' Sloth screamed.

'Well we did say he could leave whenever he wanted.' Gluttony pointed out.

Bill rolled his eye and fought the urge to follow.

'What are you doing?' Wrath hissed. 'Go find him and drag him back here!'

"No we're partners now." Bill reasoned. "How can I expect him to trust me if I can't even trust him?!"

Wrath rolled his eye. 'Well for all our sakes I hope this blind trust does come back to bite us in the butt!'

"Trust me once we wed, nothing will be able to stand in our way!" Bill assured him.

Wrath looked doubtful, but spoke not a word; after all now that the barrier affected him too it wasn't like the boy could get very far!

(Back with Mabel…)

She didn't know what she expected to see when her brother showed up.

She couldn't even tell you how long they had been apart! Sure deep down she knew it had only been a few days, but in reality it felt like eons!

"There! I see him!" Steve exclaimed.

Mabel jumped to her feet as a pine tree like figure floated towards her. "Dipper?" She asked.

"Mabel!" Dipper exclaimed and rushed towards her. Unfortunately he forgot all about the barrier and ended up smacking right into it.

'Wait ago genius.' Light teased.

"Dipper are you okay?" Mabel asked as she raced into the barrier and embraced his pine tree form.

"I am now." He admitted.

"Wow you're so…" Mabel didn't know how to put it.

"I know I'm different now, but it's still me." He assured her.

Mabel smiled. "I know it is."

"Listen we don't have much time!" Dipper said jumping right to the point. "Please tell me you found the other symbols."

"We did." Mabel assured him.

"Good then you have to attack Bill before the wedding!" Dipper urged.

"Dipper its okay if we fail we can try again-" Mabel began.

"No! You don't understand once Bill and I are wed we'll fuse and we'll become God's like Time Baby." Dipper explained.

"And that's bad because?" Mabel asked.

"Because the Zodiac is a curse!" Light snapped as he appeared as Dipper's reflection, reflecting off the barrier.

"Dipper who's the green one!" Mabel screeched hiding behind her brother.

"Oh that's Light, he's like my inner demon." Dipper explained.

"Inner what?" Mabel asked confused.

"Inner demon." Steve repeated. "Most demon's like Bill are annoyed by seven versions of themselves who represent the seven sins. There like the little voices in their heads." The Gnome explained. "But demons of vengeance are different. Instead of having the seven sins they develop a split personality. Unlike other demons their human personality remains and co-exists with the inner demon. The human half supplies the moral compass needed to decipher the difference between justice and injustice, while the inner demon supplies the unbiased and merciless judgment needed to punish those responsible."

Mabel, Light, and Dipper just stare at Steve in disbelief.

"What?" Steve said. "Your uncle isn't the only one who knows things okay!"

"So your two totally different people living in the same mind." Mabel asked. "

Yep!" Dipper and Light answer in unison.

"It's strange though." Steve said. "Usually the inner demon takes over as the more dominate roll. It's unheard of for the two sides to be on equal ground."

"Yeah well we're different." Dipper assured them.

"Yep we have a common goal!" Light said with a growl. "Anyways as I was saying. Once your brother King here and Bill get married they'll bond and fuse as one."

"Fusing life forces among demons is forbidden!" Steve gasped.

"Hello Time Baby is gone!" Light snapped. "Which means so are his rules!"

"Oh man this is bad!" Steve cried "this is so bad!"

"Why?" Mabel asked. "So what Dipper and Bill get married it doesn't mean anything-"

"Yes it does!" Steve yelled. "They'll become one, body, one mind, one soul! Together forever! Not to mention their power will multiply to that of Time Baby's!"

"He's right Mabel," Dipper said gravely. "Bill and I will become God's just like Time Baby, and only God's can lift curses made by other God's."

Mabel's eyes widen as a light bulb went off in her head. "But that means that Bill can… can-" she couldn't even finish the sentence.

"Destroy the Zodiac curse?" Light asked. "Yep and that's exactly why he wants to marry King! Well that and so we'll be able to produce young but we're getting ahead of ourselves here."

"What if we fail?" Mabel asked. "If he wins and you both become gods who will stop him?"

"Only a God or Goddess could stop him then, and Time Baby was the only one." Steve answered.

"So it will be over?" Mabel said fighting tears.

"No you're forgetting, Bill and I will be one! He maybe come a God, but I'll be a just as powerful Goddess." Dipper assured her.

"So if it comes to that?" Mabel asked.

"I'll have to catch him off guard, it won't happen overnight." Dipper told her. "Even when we get on even ground, he still has experience on his side. We'll have to outsmart him at his own game."

"And what will happen to the humans?" Mabel dared to ask.

"I've manage to get Bill to agree to no more since less killing." Light answered. "But Bill says you humans will have to work to earn better lives for yourself."

"Well I guess if it does come to that at least a life of slavery is better than death." Mabel said. "I mean at least we'll be alive."

"See your sister gets it." Light teased.

Dipper gave him a warning look.

Light simply chuckled.

"We need to move on and soon." Steve piped in.

"He's right Bill might be showing me some trust but the other demons aren't. They're just waiting for me to mess up so Bill will have no choice but to toss me aside." Dipper said looking around for any signs of the enemy.

"Then we'll head back." Mabel said,

"Okay and Mabel?" Dipper said.

"Yeah?" she asked.

"Don't come back with Steve again?" Dipper ordered. "If you get caught here Bill will lose trust in me, and if you get captured or worse we don't have enough time to…"

"Recue me or find the next shooting star in line?" Mabel finished for him.

"I…" Dipper began.

Mabel found a smile slipping on her face. "When you first became a demon I was so afraid that you'd become this monster that I couldn't bear to admit was my brother. But you're just the same old Dipper." Tears spilled down her face. "That makes me so happy!"

The two embraced.

"I've missed you too." Dipper whispered in her ear.

"King we got to go!" Light whispered.

The twins forced themselves to pull away. "I'll see you soon" Mabel promised

Dipper nodded. "Mabel I know two weeks isn't a long time to get ready, but I need you to know that you can't count on my help." He warned.

"But Dipper-" Mabel began.

"Even if I did help I'm not part of the circle anymore, I'll get in the way, and if we fail I lose the element of surprise. He'll know he can't trust me, at least right now he thinks I'm still desperately in love with him."

"Yeah I guess you have a point." Mabel agreed. "By the way you could have told me about you and Bill I mean how many break up have I spent crying on your shoulder about?"

Dipper blushed. "Every single one."

"Exactly." Mabel smiled. "I'll be sure to warn the others that we'll be receiving no help from you."

"It's the only way to ensure that plan B will actually have a chance at working." Dipper told her.

"I Know." Mabel assured him. "Well see you soon." She said as she hopped on Steve's shoulders.

"Be safe." Dipper said.

"You too!" Mabel told him and then she said. "I love you."

"I love you too." Dipper whispered and allowed the tears to fall down his face as he watched her disappear into the darkness.

'This maybe one of the last times I ever see her.' He realized.

"I know its rough King, but we have to suck it up and return to the Fearamid like nothing's happened." Light whispered.

"I know." Dipper sniffled. "Let's go." He said as they began to float towards the Fearamid.

Of course it didn't take them long to get back, and Dipper had been hoping to slip in unnoticed, but unfortunately he got no such luck.

"Where have you been?" Bill exclaimed as he snuck in through his window. "Do you know t's almost midnight outside the barrier!"

Dipper was taken aback, Bill looked genuinely worried about him.

"I thought one of my soldiers had taken you out!" Bill exclaimed. "Do you know how many of the female demons swear up and down that their more deserving to be my queen then you are?!"

"I'm sorry I needed some space from all this wedding hassle and I lost track of time." Dipper said using the first excuse that came to mind.

"Well tell me next time." Bill was pleading with his eye now. "I almost started tearing the soldiers limb by limb thinking they had done the worse thing imaginable to you."

Dipper leaned in and kissed him deeply, and Bill returned the romantic gesture. "I'm sorry for now on I'll tell you I promise."

"I don't feel safe with you being alone." Bill argued.

"You get alone time!" Dipper argued. "I need my space too!"

Bill sighed. "It's only temporary." He promised. "When you become a Goddess you'll be able to create your own underlings, ones you know you can trust."

"I'll be able to make my own demon servants?" Light exclaimed from the mirror. "Wicked cool!"

Bill smiled. "I was wondering where he had gone."

Dipper laughed nervously, "Oh he's been around, you know-"

"Plotting, scheming, and planning his vengeance?" Bill asked almost knowingly.

Dipper went pale "What-"

Bill suddenly burst out laughing. "Oh you should see the look on your face!"

Dipper forced a laugh. "Yeah you sure had me going-"

Light cleared his throat. "Of course we're scheming I mean after all we still have enemies out there."

"They've been quiet lately." Bill admitted. "And I can't see anything outside the barrier."

"Don't worry we have the advantage." Dipper assured him. "After all they would never expect me to be on your side."

Bill smiled "True."

"So you've been waiting for me?" Dipper asked.

"Well I was hoping to have some dinner with my future bride, but he ran off again." Bill said with a roll of his eye.

"What a jerk!" Light teased. "If I were him I'd never leave your side!"

Dipper rolled his eye as well. "Yeah well it's his loss."

"So are you saying you'd love to dine with me in his place?" Bill asked offering his hand.

Dipper took it happily. "I would be delighted too."

Light chuckled slightly. 'You know for a minute there I thought he had us.'

Dipper couldn't agree more. 'Everything is going to be fine.' he assured Light as they allowed Bill to lead them out of the room. 'All we have to do is survive 2 weeks and this will all be over.'

'Two weeks?' Light hissed. 'That's like a million years in Weirdmageddon sense.'

Dipper knew he had a good point. 'We'll just have to endure.' he told him.

Unfortunately what they didn't realize was that they were about to endure a lot more than they ever thought possible...
