The four of you quickly went up and head to Ford's room, not knowing what to expect. As you enter the room, you see Wendy sitting next to Stan, rubbing his back, he's massaging his own temple from the headache he's currently having

Dipper looks at his great-uncle with worriness in his eyes, he ran up to him then he kneels down to get to look at him better "Grunkle Stan! are you okay?"

Stan looks at Dipper, Stan's eyes immediately went wide as he sees the teen infront of him "Dipper?"

He furrows his eyebrows, confused at his tone of voice and expression, he felt that Stan didn't knew who he was "Is everything okay Grunkle Stan?"

He perks up from his sit and he quickly wraps his arms around him "Kid! Thank heavens you're okay!" he gives him a bone-crushing hug "Why.. you're so big!" He reach out to him and he held both of Dipper's shoulders with a big grin plastered on his face "I'm just glad that you kids are okay" Then he looks over to you and Ford who's standing by the doorway with you, he walks over to the both of you and he gives the both of you a crushing hug as well "Ford? (Y/N)? Thank goodness you two are okay as well!"

Ford's eyebrows are scrunched together from his twin brother's behavior, he slowly pats his back, you hug the man back as well

Stan pulls away from the hug and he looks at Ford "So did we defeated the demon, is he gone?"

Ford still looks at him in confusion "What do you mean? Of course we did.."

Stan exhales in relief "Phew.. thank god! You should've seen how I've punch that demon on the face- well not exactly his face, his eye to be exact" He laughs, then he examines Ford's features "What the hell happened to you? You look older that usual" He snorts

Ford set aside his teasing, he knew something is wrong "Stan, what is the last thing you remembered?" He asks him

Stan raises his eyebrow, confused on her twin brother's question, he scratches his head as he thinks "Let's see.. uhh.. Well, we switched clothes to trick Bill, he enters my mind and this blue fire starts to surround us and.. that's about it. Did I hit my head or something? Did I passed out?"

Ford sighs "Stanley.. we've defeated Bill six years ago" and he takes a deep breath

"Six years ago what do you mean?"

"Didn't you remember when I asked you to come with me to sail to Arctic Ocean? When we celebrated Mabel and Dipper's thirteenth birthday and said our goodbyes to them? Or Soos takes over the shack? When we boarded the Stan O' War II? Or we battled that massive squid? When we almost crash into that massive rock because I let you drive? or when you flirted with that sea siren-"

He shakes his head, massaging his temple "I'm sorry Ford, I don't remember anything at all.." then he looks at him directly "Wait what sea siren? Is she hot?"

Ford groans, shaking his head on his behavior "For heaven's sake Stanley! this is serious! you just lost six years of your memories!" Ford said in frustration "I knew it.. I knew it.." Ford mumbles

Stan furrows his eyebrows "Lost my what? What are you talking about?"

You took out your phone and you reach it out to him, showing the current date to Stan "It's true.."

Stan stares down at the date that's showing on the screen of your phone "You're joking right?"

You silently shook your head in response

"Did I really forgot my memories? That's.." He stares blankly at the floor, absorbing the words that you all have told him "Ford, if what you're saying is true, I'm sorry I've forgotten everything.." He wants to apologize more to his twin brother, he was still overwhelmed to what he just found out. He just lost six years of amazing memories with his twin brother, he'd forgotten everything that they've done in the Artic Ocean, his childhood dream has been fulfilled and he doesn't even remember any single of it "Damn it!" He stomps one his feet on the ground, he exhales and he shakes his head "I'm sorry.. this all just alot to take in.. that explains you kids are all grown up"

Mabel grabs Ford's arm, tugging it "Grunkle Ford! You have a journal that contains all of the stuff that you and Grunkle Stan did on the Arctic Ocean right? Why don't you show it to him?"

"Yes, yes! I have it here!" He grabs his journal inside of his coat and he proceeds to sit beside Stan and he shows all of the entries, pictures and drawings to him

Stan flips through the pages of his book "This is some sick drawings you got here Ford" 

The older twins sat on the sofabed, Ford starts to recall every page and drawings that he'd wrote/draw in his journal, he watches Stan's expression every second, hoping to find any signs of him remembering anything from their adventure

Stan shakes his head "I'm sorry Ford, I-I don't remember any of these.."

Mabel shakes his head "It's gotta work! I showed you my scrapbook before and you remembered everything!" Mabel walks over to Stan and she holds his hand "Don't you remember it? Waddles even licked your face, we're all laughing together from the memories.. don't you remember?"

Stan looks sadly at his niece "I'm sorry pumpkin.."

"I knew it.. I knew something is off in the past 6 years that I'm with you, you're not being yourself" Ford spoke, bringing his hand up to to his clefted chin

Stan furrows his eyebrows "What— Is this some sort of your science stuff again? I don't know what you're talking about"

"Look, ever since we boarded the boat, something is off within you, you're not well.. you. Sometimes ou blurt out some stuff that are just outrageous, There's this one time I saw you spilling soda on to your eyes" shrugs "Well I mean I don't know if that's normal or you just being an idiot"

"Hey! I don't recall doing that!" Stan shakes his head and he exhales"Did I really forgot all of the stuff that we did the past six years? That's.. Why would I forgot all about it?"

"I think I know why" Ford spoke

"What's the reason Great-Uncle Ford?" Dipper asks

"It's because of him" Ford points to Bill, who is still laying on the sofa unconscious

"Him? Why him? Who's he?" Stan asks as he stares the unconscious Bill on the other side of the sofabed

Ford sighs "Stan, remember that we've— you've defeated Bill right?" His breath shudders as he remembers how he almost lost his twin brother

Stan nods "Yeah? He's gone right? We've defeated him"

"Well.. not exactly"

"What do you mean not exactly? If he's still alive then why don't we go and go after him again and punch that son of a—"

Ford interrupted his sentence "Stanley, trust me we know. But I believe that the memory gun didn't do the job—"

"What are you talking about! I risked my mind to that demon! If you're telling me that he's alive then let's defeat him again"

"Listen to me, your headache is carrying you away, I want you to calm down." He gestures at Bill "This person here has.. some sort of connection to him"

"I knew it! (Y/N) I told you we should've told them that he almost—" Wendy stops herself, realizing what she has said "Shoot.." she mumbles

"He almost what?" Ford looks over to Wendy, raising an eyebrow

You stood infront of Wendy "Great-Uncle Ford it's nothing" You spoke

Ford looks at you "Clearly it's not nothing (Y/N), what happened?"

"I can assure you nothing bad happened-"

"(Y/N), tell me what happened" Ford said sternly

You gulp on Ford's intense gaze at you, hoping to get answers from you "I-I.."

Ford sighs "(Y/N), I know you're trying to protect him, but we need to be careful as well, all the stuff that we've discussed today isn't just a mere coincidence, we need to gather all of the information that we can get so please, tell us what happened"

You exhale and you start explaining on what happened back at Bill's home, after you explained everything, you exhale, taking out the heavy feeling from your chest "That's about it.."

"I'm glad that he didn't do anything to hurt you" He looks at the floor, thinking "So we know that the demon Bill Cipher is alive.. and he's only existing on Bill's mind, unless someone had any occuring dream about him" He asks, looking at everyone

Everyone shakes their head, including you

"What should we do now Great-Uncle Ford?" Dipper spoke

"Let's just wait for him to wake up and let's see what happens"
