#Original character junior perspective

Mason didn't like the name.

He thought the name was a bit silly, it sounded like a pig breeder—the one with the same name in Hannibal.

It was named after his grandmother, who, by the way, had a stretch of farm in Tennessee that didn't end.I heard that my grandmother lived in California before she married my grandfather.

His sweet, kind grandmother squinted at the complaint, slowly rocking her chair in the afternoon sun.The wind blows across the vast fields, rustling the corn leaves.

She rubbed Mason's soft and curly brown hair, and the elderly man asked slowly:

"Then what do you want to be called?"

Mason patted his stomach.

"I think Tyrone is handsome."

Grandma was taken aback when she heard the words, and laughed out loud.

Mason's grandmother is a very pleasant old lady, and people in the town like her very much. So is Mason.Although she gave Mason a name he didn't like, he still loved her.

Grandma knits a good sweater, which is her hobby.And the most valuable thing is that she keeps up with the trend, and she will never weave a pair of earthy yellow and brick red now.She often distributes the knitted sweaters to the neighbors. These sweaters are soft and warm, and basically everyone in the town has one.Some girls (or men) who like manual work often come to ask for advice. She has always taught her everything, and never hides anything.

She likes star chasing and gossip, and uses social software more slippery than Mason.Listening to the song keeps an eye on the ITunes charts and bulletin boards, who knows who has released a new album better than the girls at Mason School.

"Lady Mabel", that's what people in the town call Grandma Mason.They all adored her, and so did Mason.He liked her even if she gave him a name he didn't like, cakes that tasted like crazy Amway pizza, and coffee with six sugar cubes.

But it's been a long time since she made him a pizza-flavored cake.

Grandma's body collapsed this spring.

According to the repairman, no matter how much he knocked on the door that day, Mabel wouldn't open it. Looking through the crack of the door, she was found lying on the ground.His mother held his hand tightly in the hospital, and she and the doctor said medical vocabulary that Mason could not understand; in the end, her mother carried him home, and she bit her lip and wept silently along the way.

Since then, Grandma has never been swinging her rocking chair at the door, talking to Mason about salamanders, journals, and her non-existent brother in the babbling voice and the Tennessee wind.

He was brought to the country by his mother today, and she told Mason not to disturb Mabel, "Your grandmother has a very important guest." She said so.

"But I haven't seen my grandma for half a year," he wrinkled his nose, "the story of grandma hasn't been finished yet, I still want to know how she and Dipper won the time ball—"

"Mason," interrupted his mother, "it's all fake, your grandma never had a brother, and there's no time ball in this world. She's just telling stories to cheer you up. That's what she did when I was little mine."

"Can--"

"Be good," she rubbed Mason's head, "you go to the nearby park to play for a while, mom and dad are busy."

Mason rocked the swing sullenly.His friends weren't there, he was alone. Although Mason is Mabel's grandson, he is not good at socializing, and his social circle is pitifully small.

Mason who only knows how to read!Some kids laughed at him like that.But he is clumsy and frail, so he can only pick up the crumpled textbooks and endure these ridicules silently.

Mason shook his head, trying to push the negativity away.He crouched on the ground, ready to do something to divert his attention.

He thought for a while, and decided to review the legendary story Mabel's grandmother told him. Mason wrote several people's names on the ground with branches: the red-haired girl Wendy, the big Soos, the bad-mouthed but kind-hearted Uncle Stan—no, it should be his great-great-uncle; and... Dipper.

He draws two lines under the name "Dipper".

Grandma Mabel's adventures are always accompanied by a boy named Dipper - smart, brave, and a little inventor.Always have all kinds of tools in the backpack and take good care of Mabel.

"Is he your boyfriend? I mean, ex?" he asked once.

"No... honey, why are you asking that?"

"Well... because grandma was very happy when she mentioned him, and you seem to love him very much."

Mabel frowned.

"I love him very much, but he's not my boyfriend. He's a terrible guy emotionally. To be honest, I've never seen a girl with a crush who doesn't talk about it for a holiday—I'm so anxious about you."

"Then who is he to you?"

"He's my brother."

What no one knows is that Mason is looking forward to "Dipper".He is so cool.What boy didn't dream of a little scientist when he was young?Carrying a schoolbag on your back and holding a flashlight to adventure in the forest, hooking up with the tauren warriors, chatting and laughing with the dwarves (there is an exaggeration of Mason's brain).He is still a technology emperor, and he can even repair high-tech such as a time tape measure, but he only needs a screwdriver.

Mason bit his nails.

so cool.

He stared at the name "Dipper" and sighed.

"Why do I have to be called Mason, isn't it nice to be called Dipper?"

"I think Mason is a good name."

Mason was taken aback.

A man does not know when to appear next to him.He was wearing a tuxedo that didn't fit in with the surroundings, a top hat and leather shoes, and he was holding a cane in his hand.His blond hair was tied back in a bun, and one eye was patched.

This man is as gentle as an English gentleman, but he also has the arrogance of a pirate, dangerous and charming.

Mason swallowed.

"Ah, did I scare you? I'm sorry." He waved his cane and stopped three steps away from Mason. "Please forgive me for speaking without permission. I'm just interested in what you wrote down."

He took off his hat and bowed to Mason.

"You can call me Bill."

Although being told by his parents not to talk to strangers casually, driven by curiosity, Mason still dared to speak:

"You, you like what I wrote?"

"Of course," Bill raised one eyebrow, and he suddenly spoke in the tone of an old movie from the last century, "Boys and girls, towns and forests. Supernatural powers, adventures to save the world, and enemies lurking in the shadows What a corny but romantic story."

Mason: "..." For a moment, he couldn't even tell whether this person was praising or belittling.

"……who are you?"

"An old friend of your grandmother's."

Mentioning that grandma Mason was a little relieved.

"But you look very young."

The man who called himself Bill laughed.

"People who live in stories are young."

Mason blinked.

"I don't quite understand."

"It's okay," Bill knelt down in front of him, "would you mind telling me what you know about this story? I'm bored after all."

Mason sat down next to Bill.

"Of course. But are you bored?"

"Yes, my companion went to see a man. That man would not welcome me, so I had to wait for him outside."

This is the first time anyone is willing to listen to his grandmother's story. Mason was really happy, and he couldn't wait to share his favorite story with his "new friend" - the Northwest manor ghost case.

Originally, Bill listened carefully, nodding his head in agreement from time to time, but Mason said that Bill's face became weirder as he talked about it later, and he had to interrupt the boy.

"Wait Mason, tell me again who defeated the demon and saved Pacifica?"

"Mabel. Slightly forward, Mabel suddenly rushed out of the corridor, followed by Dipper. Seeing that the ghost was about to hurt the girl lying on the ground, weak like a baby bird, Mabel burst out with great potential. She shouted: "You Don't hurt my friend!" Pacifica was stunned, and so was the ghost. Tears welled up in Pacifica's blue eyes. "Oh, Mabel, my Mabel," the girl cried softly, "My angel, my friend, you Leave me alone. You go away!" "No! Pacifica," Mabel clenched his fists, "You are my friend! I will never leave you! Now, Dipper!" Dipper heard Mabel's words from the bag I took out the ancient silver mirror, and the whole room was filled with light in an instant, and the ghost screamed and was sealed by the silver mirror... Bill? What's wrong with you?"

Bill: "..."

Bill said with difficulty, "I think it's OOC."

Mason: "?"

Bill remembers that PineTree was solo in the first game of the manor dungeon; in the second week, they formed a team internally. ShootingStar is the one who paddles no matter how many weeks.And what happened to that crying little girl, what happened to that Shooting Star that A came out of the Milky Way?

He pressed the center of his eyebrows, his face was full of vicissitudes that Mason couldn't understand.

"LittleTree, Sh...has Mabel mentioned demons? It's one of those monsters that are handsome or geometric, have great clothes, and can use blue flames. Did she mention them?"

Mason thought to himself what the hell is LittleTree called.He thought for a while, and slapped his thigh as if suddenly enlightened.

"Oh! I mentioned it! Is it the triangle that once possessed Dipper, was driven out of Dipper's body by love, and was wiped out by the cross and holy water?"

Bill: "..." What are crosses and holy water. Can ShootingStar tell a good story and don't stuff so many private goods.

He has mixed feelings.

"Yeah, does he have a name?" Bill asked.

"Yes," just when Bill thought ShootingStar still had a conscience, Mason said, "It's called nachos."

Bill: “……………………”

How disgusting a person must be to reduce a certain person's role in history to zero, and smear a few layers of black mud on it.

Bill thought he really hated the universe.

Mason stood up, and he talked for a long time, his mouth was a little dry. Mason fumbled in his pocket, there was enough money for a glass of lemonade.

He ran to the lemonade stand and took a dollar out of his pocket.

"A cup..."

"Two glasses." Bill handed the bill to the boss, "I treat you as a reward for your hard work in telling me a story." Although this story is full of MabelPines private goods.

Mason was a little surprised when he took the lemonade, but also a little happy.He licks his lips.

"Uh, thanks?"

"You're welcome." Bill picked out the lemon with his pointed nails and threw it directly into his mouth, watching Mason's teeth sore.The blond man rubbed his nails.

"By the way, why don't you like the name Mason?"

The boy took a long gulp of lemonade.They are walking to the park.

"Because of the soil."

"what?"

"Because of the dirt." Mason frowned. "Mason, Mason, sounds like a farmer. This name is so banal and rustic that it is no different from Tom or Bill."

Bill who was shot innocently: "..."

"Michael got the name because his mom was a Christian, and Samantha got the name because of her deceased grandma. Me? It feels like a random thing."

He kicked away the soda cans on the side of the road.

"My mom has a new job in Los Angeles, and my dad is busy on business trips. Grandma has been sick for a long time. No one in the class calls me Mason, and no one calls me wrong."

"I don't like the name Mason, it sounds cold."

It sounded so cold that it wouldn't even give him the illusion.

Mason didn't know why he said this to Bill, they were just meeting for the first time.

Maybe it was because he was willing to listen to his own stories.

He didn't think Bill was here to lie to him or do anything illegal to him.He had nothing to plot against, and Mason was sullen.Poor in sports, partial to science, stupid in mouth, bad in music and art, average in appearance, with a fat face.

Some classmates laughed at him and said, are you really the grandson of Lady Mabel?

Mason looked down.

In fact, sometimes, he hated grandma a little bit.

"I'm very envious of 'Dipper' in the grandma's story," Mason said, sitting down on the swing. "He has many friends. He likes the red-haired Wendy, and he can tinker with weird inventions at will."

Mason sniffled.

"When will I be as good as him?"

Bill sat down next to Mason.

"He's not good at all, LittleTree. Maybe he envies you more."

Mason was very dissatisfied when he heard this sentence, as if his idol was pointed at by passers-by.

"You are my grandmother's friend, what do you know about my male god?"

Bill: "..."

I don't know why, after hearing this sentence, his face was distorted like a rune.

Bill seemed particularly repressed to do it himself. Mason moved aside.

"I know the follow-up of your male god," he looked at Mason with malicious intent written all over his face, "do you want to hear it?"

Mason thought about it seriously and shook his head decisively.

"No, I don't want to be spoiled."

Bill smiled maliciously, showing a row of fangs.

"I'm going to say it."

Mason: "..."

Mason: "Are you a devil!"

Bill doesn't take kids' protests seriously, he's never been a thing.He told aloud the stories he knew.

In this story, Gravity Falls is not saved by Mabel and Dipper as Mason expected.The whole town was engulfed in flames. They thought they had successfully sealed the demon, but all of this was a shady conspiracy.

They failed.

Mason nearly jumped off the swing.

"Impossible! How could they lose!"

Bill raised an eyebrow.

"Aren't you not listening?"

Mason: "..."

Aggrieved, the boy once again blocked his ears with his hands.

The brave and beautiful Mabel (the man paused for a second when he spoke here) was also unable to withstand the magic attack of the black screen, and she fell down.And Dipper encountered the demon that he thought was eliminated. The other side of this demon was the golden triangle that once attached to him (Mason corrected: "It's Mexican chips." Bill: "Shut up.").

The devil offers a way to save everyone, but there are never perfect deals in this world.If the deal is reached, the price is his own life.

Dipper agreed.

The deal is done and the clock is turned back.

Mason bit down on the straw until it deformed.

"What's next?"

"Aren't you not listening?"

Mason looked at him with disgust in his eyes.

"My lord, don't be fussy about this kind of thing, it's easy to be hated by others."

Bill: "..."

The demon originally wanted to use Dipper, because his golden triangle (Bill: "If you emphasize the cornflakes again, I will beat you.") The shape has a great relationship with the shady scene.Shady is their common enemy.

They didn't get along well at first, and the demon lived in Dipper's body to prevent being discovered by the shady who observed the world.The devil doesn't like the timid Dipper, he thinks Dipper is hopelessly stupid.The demon huddled inside the young man's body, watching the world through Dipper's eyes.Occasional vitriolic comments.

Dipper doesn't like demons either, but he has no right to refuse.All he can do is to fight back when the demon speaks badly, and then the two of them will quarrel in their hearts.

It started really badly.

The devil looks mean and unapproachable, but he is actually very lonely in his heart.He's been wandering the world for a long time for some reason, and Dipper is the only guy who can talk to him without scruples.At first, this made the demon go into a rage, but after getting used to it, he found this kind of peer relationship very comfortable.He gradually got used to looking at the world through Dipper's eyes, used to deliberately mocking and waiting to bicker with Dipper, used to slumping on the sofa together and complaining about TV shows.

Habits make people dull.

Although the devil's mouth was still so mean, he was actually used to Dipper's existence.He just never said it.

They worked together to solve one supernatural event after another that had caused the Pines siblings to suffer, and the tacit understanding was beyond everyone's expectations. Dipper's astonishing intellect, he came up with a risky but better way to deal with the shady.

However, the demon fought Dipper because of this.

Because in order to carry out this plan, Dipper lied to him about something.

The demon hadn't been this angry in a long, long time.

He wasn't angry that the stakes were greater, but that Dipper was out of his control.

How dare he lie to him?How dare he think of this method behind his back?

This brat...why is he so scary.

The devil even felt discouraged for a moment. He wondered if Dipper was sincere when he got along with him.

But in an instant, the devil laughed at himself, how sincere was he?Didn't I join forces with him just to use him?

And Dipper also saw his thoughts.The young man lay on the ground and said sarcastically, do you think I don't know that you have lied to me too?

The heartless demon was stabbed hard at that point.

"But the devil was not very kind at first. Although it was a deal, didn't the devil still want Dipper's life?" Mason asked while holding a lemonade.

"Yes," Bill nodded, "Devils are not clean, otherwise they wouldn't be called demons. This is the most ironic point, lying to others while hoping that others will be true to themselves."

"He's really sick," Masen wrinkled his nose, "but his mental activities make him feel a little pathetic. But he's still sick, and I don't like him."

Bill smiled.

"I don't like him either."

Later, the demon accepted Dipper's proposal. He was a little unhappy, but Dipper's proposal was obviously more efficient.

Since then, the story has taken a huge shift.Because Dipper became more and more taciturn, coupled with the gradually worsening situation, he was misunderstood by everyone.The red-haired girl, the big repairman, the townspeople, and your grandma Mabel.

But he didn't explain.

Explanation needs to be heard, but no one wants to listen.

He was pointed at a weapon by everyone he tried to save, and everyone said he was a demon.

But the real devil stood aside, ignored by everyone intentionally or unintentionally.

The demon felt angry for a long time.

He advised him, seduced him, made him give up the idea of ​​saving everyone.The demon wouldn't mind switching wishes, but Dipper didn't.

Saving the world, saving everyone, this is the obsession of that young man.

But among all the people who were saved, there was no one but himself.

The demon even resented Dipper for his stubbornness.

But he doesn't want Dipper's life anymore, he even wants to save Dipper.

Everyone wants Dipper's life, but the devil doesn't.

And these changes, Dipper does not know.

The final ending is very simple, the shady man was brought down, the world was saved, the past tragedies did not happen, and Dipper and his family settled down.

What a wonderful Happy Ending.

Did you think this was over?

not at all.

Dipper raised his gun at the demon.

Mason gasped.

"The demon is dead?"

Bill sold off.

"you guess?"

Mason's last estrangement towards Bill also disappeared, he even dared to tug on Bill's arm.

"I can't guess! Tell me, tell me."

"Then you yell three times to the sky: the devil is not cornflakes, Mason is cornflakes."

Mason: "........."

"Should I call, don't tell me to go. Oh, my companion may be coming out..."

Mason was aggrieved and ran to the front, he took five or six deep breaths.

"The devil is not cornflakes, Mason is cornflakes! The devil is not cornflakes, Mason is cornflakes.! The devil is not cornflakes, Mason is cornflakes!"

The boy blushed and thumped back to the swing, burying his face in his knees.

Bill reached out and pushed Mason.

"No, you're not thick-skinned enough, kid."

Mason's voice was muffled.

"Shut up, tell me about you devil!"

That's when the demon turned his back on Dipper.

Does he know?Of course he does.

He has a special kind of telepathy with Dipper that sometimes doesn't work well.But as long as one side's emotions are too intense, it's impossible for the other side not to feel it.

At that time Dipper was actually very emotional.

The demon didn't know exactly what Dipper was going to do, but he could sense that Dipper wanted to kill him.He should have turned around right then.But he wanted to wait, he wanted to wait for Dipper to let go of his killing intent and lay down his weapon, so he could act like nothing had happened.

But the devil was disappointed.

He waited for a long time, but he didn't feel Dipper's killing intent dissipate.

So the disappointed demon turned around.

He saw the black muzzle of the gun.

The next thing is very bloody, the demon who thought he was betrayed and Dipper, who actually didn't give up his heart in the end, beat each other.Like two scarred beasts, trying to inflict damage on each other, but none of them can kill.

In the beatings they spoke words they intended to take to the grave.

Dipper said, I can't do it.

Dipper said, I thought I could make up my mind, but I couldn't.

But can the devil do it?

What the devil didn't say from the beginning to the end was that he couldn't do it a long time ago.

He gave up earlier than anyone.

"At the end of the story, Dipper and the devil shook hands and made peace. They didn't want to kill each other, they just vented their anger." Bill threw the empty lemonade glass into the trash can, "The devil didn't kill him in the end, but the contract can't be canceled , so Dipper finally became a monster. The world can't accommodate his power, so Dipper, who is no longer human, and the last demon in the world embark on a new journey, and their journey is the sea of ​​stars."

Mason was fascinated.

"ended?"

"it's over."

"What is the relationship between the devil and Dipper?" Mason hugged his knees. "I don't think the devil is a good thing, but he seems to really like Dipper."

Bill smiled, and he looked towards the sunset.It is gradually falling, half swallowed by the distant mountains,

"It's like, it's love, it's dependence. They did everything that friends should do, enemies should do, and lovers should do."

"Then my mother doesn't know Dipper either, is it because he traveled with the devil?"

"yes."

"What about grandma? Why didn't you mention Grandma Mabel later? Isn't she sad that her brother left her?"

"I think she's sad. Your grandma was always an emotional person. I actually liked her quite a bit, to be honest. Your grandma lived a normal life after Dipper left. She went to middle school, high school, college, and finally Met your grandfather. Married and had children, came to Tennessee, and bought a large piece of farmland. Those thrilling adventures were buried deep in her memory until she told you about them.”

Mason was silent for a moment.

"Is everything you said true?"

"Who knows? It's interesting if the story is true or false, isn't it?" He held out his hand to Mason, "I'll send you home, my companion should be out soon. This time it's true, after all, we can only It's twelve hours."

Mason took Bill's hand.

They were silent all the way.While on the road, most of the setting sun has been swallowed up by the distant mountains. Mason looked into the distance, and he wondered if Dipper and Mabel had ever walked hand in hand on a country road like this. They were covered with sunset glow, holding lemonade that can be seen everywhere in their hands, and the mysterious house was at the end of the road.

Bill let go in front of Mabel's door.

"It's home, you go in. The guest your mother mentioned should be coming out."

Mason asked, "Won't you come in and sit down?"

Bill seemed to have heard some funny joke,

"Your grandma won't like me."

Mason didn't enter the room right away, he looked up.

"You're not my grandmother's friend, are you?"

Bill smiled, but he didn't answer.

Sometimes silence itself is an answer.

Mason nodded, and he waved to Bill, opening the door.

The lights on the first floor were not turned on, and Mason frowned in disgust. He didn't like the smell of medicine in the air.

He heard someone coming downstairs, and Mason ran to turn on the light to prevent the man from falling.

"Ah, thank you."

He looked up at the person who came, but was stunned at the same time as the person.

The man was wearing a blue suit with his coat draped over his arms.He has short brown curly hair, and his eyes are the same brown as Mason's, but there seems to be a flash of gold at the bottom.His bangs were parted obliquely, exposing his forehead with seven star moles.

The man laughed first.

He walked down the stairs, knelt down in front of Mason, and asked softly.

"What's your name?"

"Mason," somehow, Mason suddenly answered a new self-introduction, "Mabel's grandson."

The man froze for a while. Mason saw a complex emotion on his face after hearing his name, which flashed quickly, and the man's smile became more gentle.

"yes?"

He rubbed Mason's head.

If a stranger touched his head, he would have opened his hand angrily, but Mason did not reject this person's behavior at all, and even hoped that he would touch it for a longer time.

Strangely, he saw the shadow of Mabel's grandmother in this man.Even the strength of stroking the hair is very similar.

"Go up and see Mabel, she... no, it's nothing, she should have no regrets seeing you... she should be very happy."

He saw the man straighten up.

"Are you leaving?"

The man smiled.

"Um."

"Won't you stay any longer?"

"No." The man looked down at his watch, and Mason noticed that he was running a countdown, "Time does not allow."

Mason swallowed nervously, suddenly realizing who he was in front of.

He tentatively asked, "What is your relationship with grandma?"

The man never expressed impatience or irritation with his questions.He thought for a while and replied:

"I have to say... I am Mabel's relative."

"But I haven't seen you before," Mason said boldly, tiptoeing, "If I want to see you in the future, how will I use it?"

The man froze for a moment, and suddenly he smiled very happily.

He bent down again.

"If one day, you can develop a device that can freely travel through the world, or a spaceship that can travel through wormholes, then we can meet."

He held out his little finger to Mason.

"I'm waiting for you in another universe."

They all realized something, but no one said anything.

Mason hooks him up.

"We have a date."

"Well, we have an appointment."

The man stroked his head one last time. He put on his coat and opened the door. Before going out, he said to Mason:

"Mason is a good name, Mabel must like you very much."

Mason suddenly asked:

"And do you like the name, Dipper?"

Dipper smiled.

"Mason Pines thinks he likes Tyrone better."

Mason laughed along.

He ran out and saw Dipper walking towards Bill.The blond man tore a crack in the air, and in the crack were the stars of the universe.They looked back at him.

They smiled and waved at him, stepping into the crack together.The moment he stepped into the crack, Mason saw bat wings spread behind his back.

He said the word devil several times in his heart, turned around and went upstairs.

"I know the continuation of the Gravity Springs adventure, and it doesn't end well, does it, Granny?"

"The real name of Nachos is Bill, and he's actually quite handsome. Although his name is uglier than mine."

"I like my name very much now," Mason pressed his forehead to Mabel's wrinkled face, the old man smiled, and their tears melted together, "because I know, grandma gave me the most precious name. Mason, Mabel , it’s awesome to put together.”

"GrunleDipper said that if I develop a machine that can travel through the world in the future, I will be able to meet him. I will work hard, grandma."

The boy laughed and shed tears in the sound of his heart rate falling to zero:

"I love you, Grandma Mabel."

FIN.
