It's the end of the day, and the party was finished. Pacifica and Gideon had to go early, Pacifica needs to return to the Greasy's Diner for her night shift, while Gideon is preparing for a summer camp that he's having this summer break

Currently, you and Mabel are lying on the floor, all worned out, eyes were closed. Wendy, Bill and Dipper are cleaning up the floor room

After Bill set the box of decorations at the corner, he walks up to you and he looks down, he chuckles "You alright (Y/N)?"

"Let me sleep here.." You said softly, closing your eyes

"No you're not sleeping there, up you go" He grabs both of your arms and he pulls you up

"Hey Bill! Pull me up too!" Mabel reach out both of her arms towards him

Bill walks up to her, grabbing both of her arms and he pulls her up as well "Thanks!" Mabel thanks him, patting his shoulder

Bill nods at her "You're welcome"

"How's the party kids?" Stan barge inside the room, scratching the top part of his belly

"Hey Grunkle Stan! You missed all of the fun!" Mabel walks up to his Grunkle "Where did you go?"

"Well I helped Soos and Melody for their trip to Portland" Then Stan looks around the room and he sees an unfamiliar face "Who's the kid?" He gestures at Bill

"Oh Grunkle Stan! He's Bill!" Mabel introduces him

"Bill? Well nice to meet you kid"
he hold out his hand for a handshake

"Nice to meet you too-"

As his hand touches Stan's hands, a bright light burst out of their collided hands, covering the whole room, everyone either covered their eyes or squints from the bright light. A loud thump on the floor can be heard inside the room, as the bright light dissolves, everyone adjust their eyes, they gasps as they saw Bill and Stan laying on the ground unconscious

"Grunkle Stan!"

"Bill!"

They all hurriedly went to them and they kneel down to inspect them "What in the world happened! Did a bright light just came out of their hands?" Mabel asks

Ford barges inside the room, he ran towards the two unconscious man on the floor "I saw the bright light" then he checks both of their pulses on their neck "They're okay, they just passed out from whatever that light was. Now hurry, let's carry them to my room"

Wendy, Mabel and Ford carry Stan while you and Dipper carry Bill, Wendy grunts in the process "Jeez! I didn't know Stan is this heavy!"

You and the others carry to Ford's room, they lay the both of them on Ford's sofabed

"We'll let them rest and wait for them to wake up" Ford said, placing both of his hands on his hips, he land his gaze at you "(Y/N) can you come with me? Dipper, you'll come as well" Ford points at Dipper and both of you nod in response

"I'll keep an eye on them Grunkle Ford" Mabel spoke up as she sat bear Stan's unconscious figure

"And I'll stay here, just in case something happens Mr. Pines" said Wendy, sitting next to Mabel

"Thank you both of you" He thanks Wendy and Mabel, then he gestures at you and Dipper "Alright then follow me kids" Ford exits his room and he made his way to his private study, two of you tailing behind him

Ford pull out a three chair for each of you to sat on, all of you sits down, Ford exhales, leaning back on his table "First before I went to details, I have to tell you something.."

"What is it Great-Uncle Ford?" Dipper asks, noticing tension on his Great-Uncle

Ford looks down for a moment, then he looks directly at Dipper "Remember the time that you told me about this demon research that you saw on the library?"

Dipper nods "Yes Great-Uncle Ford, what about it?" He asks, getting intrigued

He exhales "Well.. I wrote it"

His eyes went wide "Wait really? How come you never told me about this?"

"How come it's not finished?" You asks curiously

"I didn't let you know since I wasn't certain from the outset about that research, that's why it's unfinished, I don't even know why my book ended up at the Gravity Falls Library. I did it in the first place because back then I was fascinated with Bill's existence, so I did my research there as well"

"Then why didn't you just ask him before? He's a powerful being right?" You asks curiously

"Trust me kid I did, he continue disclosing to me that our deal is just that, I'll build him a portal then he return the favor by giving me answers. And you know how that turns out" Then he leans on his knees "Six years ago, something happened. When Stanley and I just boarded our boat, he collapsed.."

"He what? Is he okay?" Dipper asks worriedly

"Indeed, however.. when I came over to him to offer help, his eyes starts to glow and he said some jibberish words" He reach out to his drawers and he grabs a journal, he flip to a one page and he shows it to the both of you

"I don't understand.." You mumble, trying to look at every angle to find words

Dipper looks up to Ford "Great-Uncle Ford, what's the meaning of this"

Ford nods "That's what I thought as well, it doesn't make sense. But, one night when Stan is asleep, I heard him mumble a word that he keeps repeating, Resurrect. There's a cipher that you can use a word to decode a code, I used the Vigenere Cipher, and this what it says" He pulls out a paper that's resting at the back part of the book and he unfolds it, showing it to the both of you

I was once a powerful being
that the universe has ever seen
yet i got defeated
and the whole of me faded

I've invoked his name
I've payed for my crime
now that I'm back in the game
and I won't flounder this time

I'm still broken into pieces
my own power had decreases
I'll soon take my revenge
and everything will change

Every word you've read from the poem, you felt your heart pumping out of your chest

"I wasn't certain from the start about this, at that point Fiddleford called for me and he say something regarding what he saw back then, he track a type of hints of Bill from a youngster that he met a couple of years back.."

"Bill.." You thought, you're as yet confused from the data that Ford is stating

Ford sighs "This the reason why I've return here in Gravity Falls, I afraid that he's still alive.."

Dipper crossed his arms and he shake his head "I'm not surprised, I've known it all along" Then he looks at you "See? You should've trust my gut (Y/N)!"

You look down on the ground "That's impossible.." You mumble

"I'm afraid it's possible kid, yes we erased him using that memory gun on Stan's mind, but he got back his memories, what if Bill came back with it as well?" Then he folded his arms "That's why Stanley keeps having this headache when we were aboard on the boat, I thought it just sea sickness, yet it's conceivable that Bill is living inside his brain without him knowing.. I'll have to scan his mind when he wakes up.."

"Oh man.." Dipper leans on his knees, lost on his thoughts

"Grunkle Ford! Grunkle Ford!" Mabel burst inside Ford's study, she pants as she holds againts the door of the elevator "Grunkle Stan is awake! But there's something wrong!"
