A/N: Hi! Yes I'm back! Sorry I had a short break to deal with some personal family issues but I am back. Hope you all had a wonderful winter break or if you're still on break hope you're still having a nice time off. I will try and get back into the routine of updating more often. 

I sat in the library drawing on a sheet of paper while Dipper and Mabel spoke to one another. "Alright, Mabel, today is the big day." He said looking at her. "Big day!" She yelled back. "Soos finally fixed up the laptop. If this thing works, we could learn the identity of The Author and unravel the greatest mysteries of Gravity Falls. You ready?" I looked at them both. "Oh, I'm ready, baby." She flipped through pages of a pop up book. "Ma-ma." I laughed softly and walked over to Dippers side. "This is it. This is it." He turned it on and Welcome appeared on the screen. "Aha! It worked!" I smiled and high fived him. "Blip, blap, bloobity bloop, twins!" The twins high fived until the laaptop started making a loud noise. "Unauthorised access forbidden." I read out to them. Dipper groaned. "Ugh! Of course, a password." Mabel looked at us. "Don't you worry, bro bro. With your brains, my laser focus and Y/N's excellent skills there is literally nothing that can distract us from...Did you hear that?" I looked at her and then heard singing. "All my life I've been dreamin' of a love that's right for me. And now I finally know her name and it's.." I looked over to a boy with blonde hair singing to a bunch of kids. "Oh boy." I said watching Mabel look at him. "Oh boy is right." Dipper said joining me. 

"Haha. Thank you, thank you." Mabel was still staring at the boy. "Just when I was getting over Mermando, of course, you show up at my doorstep." I walked over to the bookshelf with Dipper. "Oh yeah, I forgot about Mermando. Did not care for mermando." He grabbed a book and flipped through it. "Okay, this cryptology book says that there is 7.2 million 8  letter word. I'll type you read. Okay, Mabel? Mabel?" I tapped his shoulder and pointed to her looking at the boy. "She's flirting." I whispered as we watched her with the boy. 

I read possible passwords as Dipper typed them into the laptop. "Huh?" I asked noticing Mabel sat next to me. "How'd it go?" I asked looking from the book to her. "How hard do you think it'd be to write and compose a sock puppet rock opera with lights, original music and live pyrotechnics by Friday?" I looked at Dipper for an answer. "Mabel, are you serious?" He asked grabbing her. "I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED! I got lost in his eyes and his ponytails and I'm gonna be so embarrassed on Friday if I don't have ANYTHING." I looked at her. "What about cracking this password? You know, mystery twins?" He asked her. "If you help me with this for JUST  a couple of days I promise I'll help with the password! Please, pretty please!" She whispered to him. "It's for love Dipper." I giggled and looked at the pair. "All right, okay-" "YES! THANK YOU!! THIS GUY! HE'S NUMBER ONE!!" Mabel yelled to everyone. "Okay, okay, okay, shhh." We all left the library. "I can't wait to get to the bottom of this laptop. We're close to something big here; I can feel it." I nodded in agreement. "Same, it's like something is right there." I said to him while stopping feeling someone watching us. "Y/N? You coming?" I nodded and slowly walked up to them. "What's up?"I shook my head. "I felt like something was watching us." I said rubbing my arms. "It's nothing firestone." I frowned. "What?" I asked looking at Dipper. "What?" He asked me looking just as confused as me. 

I walked into the living room a couple hours later with drinks when I saw everyone singing. Stan was now stood behind me. "Not even gonna ask." He said walking in and sitting in his usual spot on the chair. I laughed and helped Mabel carry her puppets upstairs to her room. "Goodnight, my babies." She took out a Gabe puppet and made it kiss the Mabel puppet. "Mwop mwop mwop mwop. Mwah! Soon, Gabe Benson-" I frowned and looked over at Dipper. "Ugh, wrong person. WRONG, WRONG! UGH!" He collapsed onto the floor. "Don't stay up all night, Dipper. Last time you got this sleep-deprived you tried to eat your own shirt." I laughed and got into the sleeping bag on the floor. Dipper sucked on his shirt. "Pleh. Just a few more tries. UGH! I can't take that sound anymore." He hit the computer. "I. hate. you. sound." He yawned and walked out of the room. "Dip." I said following him out and watching him walk outside. "Y/N, There has to be some shortcut or clue. Who would know about secret codes?" I sat down next to him on the floor when the wind started blowing and an eye crept onto the moon and bricks form around to reveal Bill. Suddenly all the colour was gone. "I THINK I KNOW A GUY!" I looked at Dipper then to Bill. "Well, well, well. You're awfully persistent, Pine Tree. Hats off to you!" He took off his hat tilting the world sideways. "Ahhhh!" I yelled falling over before he put his hat back on. "Oh firestone, there's no need for you to be here just yet." He snapped his fingers and I was back in the attic. I tried to get out the door but it was locked. "Sleep!" Everything suddenly went black. 

 I woke up to Grenda and Candy yelling at something outside the Mystery Shack and they were covered in socks. I walked downstairs and looked at Stan and a tired Dipper. "How was last night?" I asked watching Stan leave the room. "He said he'd give me the code to the laptop if I gave him something. Like I'd actually trust Bill, right?" I laughed nodding. "Don't worry about it me and Mabel will help you out." He nodded and began eating. "Mabel's with her production crew." I looked at him. "Production crew?"  We walked outside to see Soos, Candy and Grenda together. "AAA! Okay! I'm back on fabrication! Get me my lint roller." Mabel said yelling about some puppet sock, Soos was on the floor and Grenda was holding a ripped sock. "Whoa whoa, you said you were going to help me and Y/N remember." Mabel looked at him. "DIPPER! This sock crisis just bumped up the code argyle! The laptop can wait!" I looked at Dipper this time. "Mabel, do you seriously think that your random crush of the week is more important than uncovering the mysteries of this town? You're obsessed!" I bit my lip as they yelled back and forth. "I'm obsessed? Look at you! You look like a vampire! And not the hot kind!" I helped back a giggle, he was kind of hot. Dipper rubbed his eyes. "But you said you were going to help us today!" She held a sock in her hand and tickled him with it. "I can help you. With tickles." She said making him laugh before punching her and grabbing my hand. "Okay, fine! You know what? We'll do it on our own!" He yelled pulling me up to the attic, hands still linked. "Passwords. Passwords. Mabel. Is. Useless." He yawned again. "Oh, man..." I looked at him. "Too many failed entries. initiate data erase in five minutes." I read to him ."You sort that I'll go get you a drink. I said running off not wanting to see him blow up once everything was gone.  

I walked up the stairs to see Dipper standing on the laptop and laughing. "Dipper?" I asked looking at him when he looked at me. "Firestone." I glared and threw the drink at him. "Bill! What have you done with Dipper?!" I looked around and saw Dipper floating in the air. "Dip?" I asked looking from the floating Dipper to Bill. "You can see me?!" I nodded and Bill looked at us. "I thought we had a deal!" Dipper yelled to Bill who was stood in front of the mirror. "Look kid, you've been getting way too close to figuring out some major answers. I've got big plans comin' and I don't need you and firestone here getting in my way. Destroying that laptop was a cinch/ Now I just need to destroy the journal. Race ya to the bottom of the stairs!" He tipped backwards making 'Dipper's' body fall down the stairs. "Dipper come on." I said following Bill. "Human soda! I'm gonna drink it like a person!" He poured it into his mouth and all over his face while laughing. "Where do you keep that journal anyway?" He opened up drawers reaching in and slammed it on himself repeatedly. "Stop!" I yelled grabbing the drawer. "Ohh thats right little firestone likes pinetree." I clapped my hand over his mouth. "It's gotta be around here somewhere." He said moving away from me. "I've hidden it!" Dipper yelled floating into the room. "Somewhere you'll never find it in a million years!" The door opened and Mabel walked in looking over at Bill in Dipper's body. "Hey Dipper! I've borrowed your journal to use as a prop in the show I hope you don't mind I'm gonna go before you process this sentence okay BYEEE!" She ran off and I looked at floating Dipper. "Sure, sounds great sister! I'll see you at the show!" Floating Dipper was yelling. "Wait! No, Mabel don't listen to him! That's not me!" He flew outside and I looked at Bill. "Heh! Welcome to the mindscape kid! Without a vessel to possess, you're basically a ghost!" He shoved me into a cupboard and locked it.  "Zip it firestone!" He yelled as I banged on the door suddenly I couldn't speak. 

Once I got out I ran out of the shack and jumped onto my bike riding to the theatre. This is bad. So bad. 

I looked around seeing Mabel climbing up the cat walk. I ran over and climbed up to her and held my throat. "Y/N? What's wrong?" I shook my head pointing at my throat trying to speak but nothing would come out. "Y/N Stop messing around we have to get Dipper's body back. Long story." I shook my head frantically and looked around. "Oho, but why would you do that?" I looked around to see Bull pulling the cake up with lights shinning behind him. "Bill! Dipper! Bipper!" She yelled. "Shh! You wouldn't want to ruin the show...Whoops." He said briefly releasing the cake sending Mabel plummeting. "It's slipper! How's about you hand that book over?" I looked around, we were really high above the stage if Mabel were to fall she could die. I looked at her. "No way! This is Dipper's! I'd never give it away!" I smiled at her. "Hmm, you didn't seem to have a problem taking it for your own play, ditching him when he needed you. So come to your senses. Give me the book or your play is ruined." Mabel sighed and went to hand it over. I went to scream but I was thrown into the cake by Bipper. "There it is. I mean, who would sacrifice everything they've worked for just for their dumb sibling?" I looked over at Mabel. "Dipper would." She whispered and I smiled. "Huh?" He asked as Mabel pushed him into the cake with me,she followed and it fell to the stag. "Oh no." I said as the cake crashed onto the floor. Bill and Mabel tumbled out grabbing the journal, lasers and fog started going off. "Get out of my brother's body, you evil triangle!" I looked at the people in the audience. "Whoa! Children fighting! I can sell this!" Stan said grabbing a camera. Mabel punched bill in the face with the journal.  "You can't stop me! I'm a being of pure energy with no weaknesses!" He lunged at Mabel and I pushed him away. "True but, you're in Dipper's body. And I know all his weaknesses!" Mabel said looking at me and I nodded. "Whaddya mean his-" We started tickling him and he fell to the floor. "Aah! Body spasms! What are these?" I silently giggled and continued to tickle him. "A little note about the human body- you haven't slept for 24 hours" I stopped and she ran off around the stage with Bill chasing her. "Also, I got a full night's sleep and I'm on four mega shots of Mabel juice!" Bills face dropped and he started wheezing. "Ah! What is this feeling? My body is burning! I can't move these stupid noodle legs! Curse you, useless flesh sticks! Body..shutting down...must..scratch...mosquito bites..." I watched as he fell over on the floor. The world went black and white. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...hey!" Dipper flew back into his body and opened his eyes. "Hey! Yes! I'm back in my own body! And it's...just as underwhelming as I remember." I hugged him tightly. "Ooh, everything hurts." Bill started laughing. "This isn't the last you'll hear of me! Big things are coming! You can't stop me! Firestone big things are coming out about you too!" He said laughing again.  Mabel walked over to Gabe and I helped Dipper stand up. Everything was back to normal colour again. "Don't speak to me, Mabel. You've made a mockery of my art form. Let's go, my loves." He said making his puppets kiss. "Did he just make out with his puppets?" Dipper asked leaning on my shoulder. "I might've dodged a bullet there." Mabel said looking at us. "oof. Mabel, I'm sorry about all this. It's my fault your puppets got ruined." I held him up. "Well, one of them survived." She said pulling out the Mabel puppet. "And she has something to say to you." She put the sock puppet on. "I'm sorry, Dipper. I spent all week obsessing over a dumb guy. But the dumb guy I should have cared about was you! Bap!" She nudged his face. "Mystery twins?" She asked. "Mystery twins." The fist bumped and Dipper gasped in pain. "Ow! what'd Bill do to my hand? Ahh!" I laughed and Mabel helped him on the other side. "Nothing a little sleep can't fix. Come on, bro bro, lets go home." I looked at him ."I think he needs to go to the hospital."
