Chapter Text
Regular pov
It was a "normal" day in Gravity Falls. You and Dipper were running away from another monster while Mabel was knitting another sweater safely in the Mystery (s)hack. This time some angry chimera was chasing after you two since you were poking around a cave it resided in. "We need to split up," Dipper said, "maybe it will only follow one of us!" You went left while Dipper went right. You couldn't hear the angry roars the chimera made while following you so it must've followed Dipper or gave up chase. Tired and out of breath, you stopped and sat on a rock. "He'll be okay," you thought to yourself, "he has the journal." You've lived in Gravity falls all 20 years of your life. Even though Dipper and Mabel were 15, they were your best friends. You couldn't bear the thought of the brunette nerdy(ish) boy being taken out of your life. And what would Mabel do without her twin brother? You decided to stop thinking negative thoughts but suddenly out of nowhere the chimera came crashing through the foliage and seemed ready to pounce! You stood there frozen in shock. Before you could comprehend what was happening the chimera pounced, claws outstretched ready to rip you into pieces but everything went greyscale.
Time seemed to have frozen, the chimera was frozen mid-leap. Out of nowhere a bluish portal appeared and what seemed to be a floating yellow Dorito with one eye, a black bow tie, and a black top hat floated out. "You seem to be in quite a bit of a pickle," the brick-patterned illuminati triangle said. "How.." Was all you could manage to say. You've seen plenty of abnormal things in Gravity Falls but nothing as weird as a floating illuminati Dorito popping out of a portal. "AHAHAHAHA," the triangular thing laughed in a male voice. "Well ya see kid, I'm a dream demon, A BEING WITH PURE ENERGY WITH NO WEAKNESSES." As the floating Dorito said the last part he grew in size and he went from yellow to red, with a white iris instead of a black one. Giving you no time to respond, the floating Dorito changed back to his original colors and cut to the chase. "Kid, I see that you need some help here," he began, "I can get rid of this chimera that's about to kill you if you agree to help me aquire something. If you don't agree to my deal, I'll unfreeze time and you'll die. So, do we have a deal kid?" He said. His eye turned into a clock and he extended a black, blue fire engulfed hand. "Y-yes," you stuttered, slightly annoyed that he was calling you 'kid'. You could've SWORN you didn't say anything out loud but you hesitantly shook his hand anyway. The blue fire engulfed yours and the demons hand."Well (y/n) you DIDNT say anything out loud," in fact I read your mind! And I'll call you whatever I want, KID." he said. "You know my name but I don't know yours," you said to the floating dorito. "Oh I know LOTS of things, and I am NOT a DORITO," he replied forcefully. "And the name's Bill. Bill Cipher. Well kid I'll see ya in your nightmares! I'll come talk to ya later about our little deal!" And within the blink of an eye, he was gone. The forest regained its color and the chimera was nowhere in sight.
