【Billdip】Restart

Mabel lay anxiously in front of the vending machine.

This broken machine has been in disrepair for a long time. Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that Uncle Stan deliberately did not repair it in order to earn more coins; the current situation can be described in one sentence:

It swallowed coins.

The snack she wanted was stuck in the spring, and Mabel banged on the vending machine casing violently to no avail.

She looked at the snacks, then at her brother.

"Dipper..."

Dipper was slumped in the chair, looking half dead.His face was frighteningly pale.He opened his eyes sickly:

"……What's up?"

"My snacks got stuck in the vending machine, you can...forget it." She really couldn't bear to let Dipper work. "Are you still sick with your cold?"

Dipper put a wet washcloth on his head.

"yes."

It's been almost a week since they helped McGucket get his memory back.They were all fine when they went out - unexpectedly Dipper came back with a high fever.

Uncle Stan was terrified and took Dipper to the doctor overnight.The doctor checked for a long time, and finally could only guess from Dipper's description that he caught a cold accidentally.The boy spent three full days in the hospital on water.

When he returned, Dipper was still pale, with intermittent high fever and headaches.But it was better than the previous few days. Uncle Stan said that Dipper felt hotter than the stove the night he went to the hospital.

The boy smiled, "I'm sorry, Uncle Stan."

While Mabel wasn't paying attention, Dipper cast a cooling spell on the wet towel, and the towel that was about to warm up turned cold again.He exhaled comfortably.

It's not a cold at all.

That goddamn Bill Cipher forced a replacement, and it did a lot of damage to the soul--both his and Bill's souls. Bill is fine, this guy has lived for a thousand years, or even longer, and his soul is much richer than Dipper's; Dipper's soul passed out directly under the impact.

After waking up, he resisted the pain in his soul and questioned Bill immediately. The bastard's reaction was:

"You said, one priority right to use the body."

One Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven in Dipper's spirit.

But the days that followed were difficult for both of them. Dipper needs a shot, although the boy is tempted to yell that I don't have a cold you quack.But a little intolerance would lead to a big conspiracy, so he could only roll up his sleeves obediently.The doctor prescribed a bunch of antibiotics. Although Dipper is now a demon, part of his body still belongs to humans—specifically, he needs to eat, sleep, and go to the bathroom.I can't take so many antibiotics at all.

Dipper tried a compromise, replacing his daily pills with dextrose and saline.

So he took glucose and normal saline for three days, and every burp smelled like salt.

Bill wasn't far behind as a body sharer either.For three days he and Dipper sat at opposite ends of the consciousness space, and the glucose solution flowed into the cabin from all directions.The devil couldn't take it anymore, he pointed to the wall and said, can you control yourself so that the consciousness space does not leak? The 22-year-old adult didn't even look up, saying there was something I could do, the glucose was rushing through my veins.Every cell of mine is extremely delicious, and it can be eaten after drying.

The demon was speechless for the first time.

Until now, his body is still not very good, the soul is slowly repairing itself, and the side reaction is reflected in the body.It made Dipper miserable.

He looked up and saw that Soos wasn't busy.So he called him over to help Mabel.

Soos really has a way.He delivered a series of beatings to the vending machine, successfully forcing it to spit out far more than a coin could buy.

"A genius taught me," *Soos said.

ProfessorPines, who witnessed all this, said:

[This is not in line with physical engineering at all. 】

Dipper took the candy from Mabel, and he moved inside for his sister. Mabel sat next to him, showing Dipper the wallet in his hand.

"...Isn't this Soos's?"

"He just dropped it," Mabel said, "and I picked it up."

Ah, yes. Soos was called by Stan to help tickle it.His big friend just gave a heartfelt speech centered around the idea that "I'd do anything for your Pines family" -- including scratching an itch.

This spirit is commendable.

Seeing that Mabel was about to open the wallet, Dipper tried to remind his sister to pay attention to other people's privacy: "Mabel, Soos may not like others stealing his money... wait what is this?"

Mabel saw her brother who just stopped her from pulling a certain card from the wallet - at least twice as fast as her.Just take it out and read it, and he read it out:

"Large laser tag battle*? Member Soos? Suitable for children under 12 years old? Can adults also play?"

Mabel still prefers the emergency salami.

Dipper pulled out another card—an organ donation card.He is familiar with this thing, and he also has one in the future.

future.

Dipper lowered his eyelids, shutting his emotions inside.He licked his fangs, the tip of his tongue was cut, and it healed in an instant.The old blood spread in the mouth, salty, fishy and astringent.

He remained calm and continued to read in the same tone as before:

"Jesus Alzamirano Ramirez, Soos' real name? It's so long. Organ donor, birthday, July NO.13...etc," the twins looked at each other, "Isn't this today?"

“I think we can throw a surprise party for Soos.*” Mabel said.

"More exclamation points! I mean, more!"*

Mabel said this to Grenda, Dipper behind her yawned, the boy hooked his fingers, and the cake flew onto the table with a "swoosh". Dipper inserted the candle into the cake, and he glanced at Mabel, who was concentrating on directing Grenda; Dipper touched the candle with his hand, and the flame burned automatically.

The boy looked down to see Wadless looking at him with a biscuit in his mouth.

He smiled and made a silent gesture.

Candy pulled Soos, who was blindfolded, to this side. She gestured to her friends to indicate that the target had been brought and allies were ready. Mabel pulls Dipper and Grenda to hide behind the table.

Soos was muttering something, probably some Soos jokes that others couldn't understand.He was very relaxed, letting himself be led by Candy.

When they arrived at the destination, Candy took off the blindfold, and the children jumped out from behind the table and threw a lot of flowers into the air.

"Surprise! Happy Birthday Soos!"

Mabel bounced and gave Soos a big hug.

"We've got all your favourites—cake flavored pizza, pizza flavored cake; and more fun stuff!"*

Dipper pulls back the curtain.

Toby, the reporter in their town, is doing a funny dance - Dipper heard that he had a dream to perform on Broadway, but he doesn't know if Toby can enter Broadway, Dipper thinks that Toby is quite qualified as a comedian.

At least he and Bill both laughed.

and Bill.

……Hold.

Excitedly, Mabel took out a Polaroid camera out of nowhere and called on everyone to take a birthday photo together.Girls act in a hurry, and basically press the shutter as soon as they get together. Dipper leaned over, she flicked the photos, and a group of people excitedly waited to see.

Everyone in the photo is smiling happily.Except Soos.

Except for birthday stars.

The scene was extremely embarrassing.

Dipper looked at the photo.

"What's wrong Soos? You look...unhappy."

His friend dodged his eyes and spoke vaguely. Soos said nothing, he lowered his hat and quickly left the party venue. Wendy almost bumped into him. The girl asked him what was going on as she walked, and when she turned her head, she saw a birthday banner full of exclamation points.

Wendy raised her forehead.

"Oh no."

She received questioning glances from Dipper and others, and explained: "Well, you don't know about this, so it's not your fault. Soos doesn't like his birthday... It's not an exaggeration to say that he hates it. *You ask me why? Sorry I really don’t know about that. I guess I’ve had it since I was a kid.”

Stan went on, "We've tried everything, boys. I even asked the government to remove it from the weekday, and now I can't even get on a plane.*" he said from his pocket He took out a ban from the inside.

Dipper complained in his heart, why are you still on a plane at such an old age.

Mabel poked her head half way from the back of the house. Soos sat on the doorstep, looking at an old postcard.His brows were furrowed, sullen.

"I think we have to give Soos a happy birthday party that will replace the unhappy memories of the past," the girl said.

"Uh..." Wendy looked a bit embarrassed, "Honey, I think he should be left alone at a time like this."

Mabel looked at her brother.

Dipper rubbed his nose.

"Mabel... I agree with Wendy, although your intentions are good. But it's better to leave him alone at a time like this."

Mabel couldn't believe it was her brother's words.

"Wait...how can you say that? Don't you care about Soos?!"

"We're doing this because we care about Soos, Mabel, I think Soos needs some privacy..."

"But he's sad right now! Guys!" Mabel looked at Dipper, then at Wendy and Stan, and saw that neither of them agreed with her.The girl had her hands on her hips, her cheeks puffed up, and she was pissed off.

"Very good, very good. If you don't help me, I will do it myself."

In the end, a group of people acted together.

Dipper looked around, and he pulled the collar down.This vest is a little small.

【Aha!Not bad, PineTree, it's for you. 】

"……Shut up."

Dipper gritted his teeth.

Bill wasn't afraid of him, just a little bit.The noisy Dipper wanted to call Newt's name and get that guy out of the way.

[I will remember this scene - a 22-year-old university professor went to the children's laser tag club to play.Your vest is so pretty hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha 】

Dipper: "..."

Mabel called him over there, and told him to hurry up and help the blindfolded Soos across the threshold.

Although neither of them agree to disturb Soos at this time, but this is Mabel's proposal, Mabel's. Dipper sighed, he knew none of them could refuse Mabel.

Soos walked and muttered something like "blindfold me for the second time, this time I won't be fooled again". Dipper wanted to say that you refused so much and why did you obediently be blindfolded by Mabel? What is this called, the last stubbornness?

ProfessorPines said that I am very tired and don't want to understand you teenagers.

Soos stopped halfway, sniffing.

“Hmmm… the smell of hot dogs? And viscose floors and futuristic sound effects?”*

He pulled off the blindfold. "This is... a laser tag?"*

Their big friend finally had a little joy.

"Omg...I love this, how do you guys know I love laser tag? Guys, I love you guys!"

For digging through your wallet. Dipper said in his heart that he really doesn't have much interest in laser gun battles, and he still likes doing mental work rather than doing this kind of physical work.For example, sitting in the consciousness space and playing chess with Bill or something.

...God, why did he think of that cornflakes again.

But I have to admit that Bill is really good at chess, not only chess, but also Go and checkers.The two of them can play three different chess games at the same time.Very cool.

Bill was in Dipper's conscious space, so of course he knew what the young man was thinking.As a demon, embarrassing others can bring him great joy.

Bill played a game of chess.

[Would you like a plate, PineTree? 】

【…】

He refuses to talk to Bill.

Dipper tried to turn his attention to other things.For example, Wendy touched the obstacle with a look of disgust, and said to Stan: "Are these walls sprayed with purple paint for mattresses?"*

“This place used to be a big mattress store.”*

What a nice use of waste.he thinks.

The Soos and Mabel were in full swing, and one big and one small were holding laser guns and beckoned them to join the melee.

Dipper sighed deeply, deeply.

He took a lasgun off the rack and flexed his shoulders.

"...I'm not sure if I'm really fit to play this."

Mabel smiled brightly, and she patted her brother.

"Relax bro! There are us too! If you are afraid of losing, just follow me," the girl rubbed her nose with her thumb, "I will cover you!"

I am not afraid of losing. Dipper thought blankly.I'm afraid I can't control myself and beat you kids until you cry.

They lined up to enter the playroom, the twins standing at the back, Soos still looking a little nervous, Mabel bit his belly, trying to put Soos at ease.

Dipper yawned lazily.

[Bill. 】

【what? 】

[How likely is it that I break this place? 】

The demon gestured a ∝.

[... This answer is really no surprise. 】

[Control yourself, man,] Bill looks bored, too, [it's not time for a big fight yet. 】

The gate countdown begins. Dipper counts with the numbers - five, four, three, two...

A sense of crisis suddenly crept up his spine. Dipper yanked at Mabel's clothes, and Mabel was staggered.She could only watch Soos and the others run into the game lobby.

"This... what are you doing, Dipper?!"

"Calm down," Dipper looked behind Mabel, "don't you think there is something wrong with the previous scene?"

Mabel froze, she turned back.

When Dipper said this, she also discovered that the game hall should be the kind covered with purple mattresses and gorgeous lights.But I don't know why the hall in front of them is blank now, and the cold incandescent lights of the machinery shine on the ground.

Although Mabel thought it was incandescent light, she didn't see any lights on the wall.

"Hmm... what's going on here?"

I also want to ask, what's going on here. The gold in Dipper's eyes flickered.

"Follow me, Mabel."

Dipper didn't want Mabel to follow him into this weird room if he could, he didn't want his sister to get hurt a little bit-but now it's clear that Mabel is safest to follow him in this situation.The ghost knows who the other party is targeting among them.

Dipper was thinking about how he would knock Mabel unconscious if he had to fight - and he had to do it quickly.Can't give Mabel buffer time.But he was reluctant to attack Mabel...

Then he saw clearly the man standing in the middle of the room.

Dipper: "..."

Bill: […]

Mabel: "Hey! You're not... that what... Blendo? Blonding? Dipper help me think."

"Uh... Blarblar? Yes, Blarblar."

The time traveler lost his temper.

"It's Blendin! How can you forget my name after ruining my life!"

[Wow, isn't this the man of time who was tricked by me? 】

【…】Dipper couldn't take it anymore, the chair under Bill's ass suddenly went crazy, as if he had been filled with five tons of fake alcohol, and started to make circular motions.The demon was thrown out directly, covering the wall like mashed potatoes.

Seeing that the twins were still in a daze, Blendin exploded.He pressed his watch to start time playback.

"After you stole my time device and messed everything up, I was kicked out by the Time Correction Team! That was my goal in life! And then? Then I was sentenced to prison! I lost my job, and In prison, all because of you!"*

Dipper: "..."

Bill's mouth is cheap, he said with interest as he got down from the wall: 【You and ShootingStar have done this kind of thing?Can't see it. 】

Dipper thought to himself, how could I remember all the unscientific incidents I encountered in Gravity Spring.

"Okay ok, I'm sorry about this," Dipper rubbed his temples, "but we have something else very important to do right now, can you please wait a minute while we get this matter out of the way Finished."

"Today is our friend's birthday!" Mabel added, clasping her hands together and begging, "Please be accommodating, I'm really sorry but we need our friends."

Blendin scoffed.

"Birthday? You think a stupid birthday is more important than my reinstatement?! Don't think about you two kids! Do you know where you are now?"

Blendin sneered, holding his hands up.

"Welcome to Crystal Ball Wars!"

Following Blendin's voice, the wall suddenly collapsed.The battle of time lay naked before the twins.

As an academic, Professor Pines is not exempt.Like every one of his colleagues, he has a big dream of breaking the space barrier.Unlike others, they broke the barrier by imagination, Dipper relied on experience-after all, he has seen salamanders and demons.

He wasn't very surprised by the scene in front of him - he had read some of Bill's memories, and he was well used to this scene of dancing demons.And after all, he is a person who comes again. Although many memories of the past are blurred (probably due to the sequelae of time travel), there are still scattered impressions.

Dipper remembers this game called Crystal Ball... It seems like he and Mabel won in the end, right?

Ms. Mabel Pines, a real first-time experiencer, has no fear of coming to a strange environment at all.To put it bluntly, it’s good adaptability, but to put it bluntly, it’s nerve-wracking. She looks extremely excited:

"What's this? A reality show? Are these weird guys from Japan! Wow, this looks more interesting than laser tag!"

Dipper's head hurt even more, he just wanted to make a quick fix and then go back to the mysterious hut to make salted fish.

"...So what are you going to do?"

Blendin was furious at their reaction.

"How can you not have the slightest awe of the great "Parcel Wars"! This is "Parcel Wars"! Fighting time gladiators!" *

The mental worker said he had no interest, and he wanted to touch fish more than wrestling.

Yellow nachos are the exact opposite.

[Wow, I never thought I would have the chance to see this. 】

[Haven't you seen it? 】

[No,] Bill explained, [I'm on the Time Giants blacklist, they won't let me in on this. 】

The Blendin on the other end was still explaining dutifully, and Dipper felt that it was a waste for him not to be a tour guide.

"...the winner will get a precious time to make a wish, and the fate of the loser will also be handed over to the winner!" *

Just like a demonstration, a participant in the middle of the field was defeated. The winner sneered, with his thumbs down, and the loser turned into dust amidst screams.

"...savage," Mabel said softly.

Dipper nodded in agreement.But he cared more about Blendin making the wish than that.

"Blendin, what is Time Wish?"

It was a black time guard who answered for Blendin.

"Time Baby will grant any wish you make. This is a reward for the winner of the "Crystal Ball War", and the winner deserves our respect." *

If Dipper still had ulterior fantasies about this "time wish" at the beginning - such as wishing to kill the salamander or something - then now he has no interest at all.

He didn't think the time baby who was killed by Bill with a snap of his fingers could fulfill his wish.The upper limit of this wish is set by the time baby's ability, and the time baby is helpless if it exceeds the limit.

Sure enough, relying on others is worse than relying on yourself.

【...If you can't kill the salamander, how about wishing that the space-time barrier will never be broken? ] Just spending time with the salamander, he died of his heart devouring the dimension.

【You think too much.The time baby belongs to the family of time giants, and has no other advantages except being stupid and big. 】

【…】

【Ah, plus the fact that you can travel through time.The time giants are probably the only ones in all universes that can freely travel on the vertical time axis.They are born with this ability, and it is not impossible for outsiders to take it away, but the amount that can be taken away is pitiful - for example, when we travel back to the present from "Apocalypse", the energy is only enough for one person to transmit.So don't think about strengthening the dimensional wall, that's not the job of the time giant. 】

Dipper was communicating with Bill consciously when Mabel's name suddenly caught his ear.The boy froze for a moment before returning his attention to Blendin.

Mabel was obviously confused by what Blendin said, and the girl picked out her ears.

"Excuse me, can you say that again?"

Blendin snorted.

"You, MabelPines, are ready to accept my Blendin challenge."

Bill thought it was over.But the devil had no intention of stopping it at all. He took out a handful of hot popcorn from the air, and his proficiency in eating melons was amazing, and he was well-deserved as an old melon farmer.

Dipper's face darkened.

Although he is only 12 now, teenagers are not.But after all, I have been a teacher for many years, and the majesty in my bones is still there. When I turn my face, I have an aura of "why don't you do your homework".

The two time guards were too scared to move.

Although Professor Pines was asking a question, his tone was no different from a lecture.

"Mabel is competing? What about me?"

The guard answered his question reflexively:

"Not your name."

"……what?"

Guard Lolph explained: "Blendin did say he wanted the 21st century 'MabelPines' and 'DipperPines' as rivals, but we only found MabelPines."

Another guard, Dundgren, continued on behalf of his colleagues: "We have reason to suspect that Blendin misremembered the name, but because Blendin identified MabelPines, the crystal ball war continued as usual. MabelPines was the only contestant."

... No, it shouldn't be like this.

Dipper knew that it wasn't Blendin who mispronounced the name, Dipper was his nickname, the name he signed the contract with Bill and had always acknowledged.The reason why this person can't be found is because damn his current real name is Alcor, he is a demon, and of course he can't find it by checking the human name!

Mabel obviously doesn't want to fight Blendin either.She misses Soos, and doesn't want to communicate with these dangerous people anymore.

The girl whispered, "Dipper, we have to escape."

Dipper was speechless, he felt quite aggrieved.Obviously he could overturn the cage directly, but he didn't want to expose himself like this.

"...Dipper?"

Dipper put his hands behind his back, the black nails slowly fading away.

"You're right, Mabel," he said, looking at the time tape on Lolph's waist, "I think we need that."

Earlier, Dipper said that he couldn't remember how he stole the time tape when he was 12 years old.But it should be a more troublesome method than it is now.

Dipper asked Mabel to keep an eye on Blendin—thankfully the time man was arguing with the time guard Dundgren about what color to paint with battle paint, judging from the veins on Dundgren's forehead, Mabel might be able to keep an eye on him for a long time—he put his fingers together and raised his hand slightly , made a "recruit" action.

Lolph seemed to be concentrating on guarding the goal, but he was actually in a daze.He didn't restart until the time tape was in Dipper's hands.

Lolph froze for three seconds before realizing it was his time tape.

"Hey!"

Dipper yanked the hook of the measuring tape almost as soon as he got it, and grabbed Mabel who was still out of the situation with his other hand, and the two disappeared in the blink of an eye.

DipperPines believes that those time people should take a serious look at the issue of travel comfort.At least the few times he traveled through time and space, he didn't feel comfortable.

His soul wounds haven't healed yet, and he vomited in the dark as soon as he landed.

Mabel: "..."

Mabel: "You really don't need to go to the doctor?"

Dipper casually wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

"No. Compared to this... where are we now?"

At that time, the situation was urgent, and he took Mabel to run away in a short time, so he didn't care about the landing point.

The siblings looked around.It turned out that luckily, the landing site was on a mattress—of course Dipper also vomited on someone else's mattress.As soon as the two looked up, they saw the cashier rushing towards them angrily.

Dipper: "..."

Mabel: "..."

The two ran out without saying a word.

During the run, Dipper took out the time tape and planned to travel through it again.As a result, he was so angry that he almost complained—the thing disintegrated directly.Fortunately, no parts were lost, but if you want to use it again, you have to use some tools to reassemble it.

"Can you fix this?" Mabel asked after making sure to throw off the cashier.The two siblings walked and talked, they were quite leisurely, and they looked no different from their usual shopping.

"Yes, yes, but I need tools... Hey!"

Dipper sidled away from the kiddie bike.There seems to be something wrong with the other party's car. There is a red light ahead but there is no intention of stopping. The child in the car is screaming.

At the critical moment, Dipper yanked the seat back, avoiding the tragedy.

Mabel stepped forward, and the little girl looked terrified, shaking as Mabel held her down.She took out a piece of fruit candy from her pocket and put it into the little girl's mouth.

"It's okay, it's okay, you're safe now. Don't be afraid."

On the other side, Dipper looked down at his hand.If it is an ordinary road bicycle, the speed will not be very fast, but this road has some slopes and the acceleration of gravity.What's more, he is only a "12-year-old" "teenager" now, and the weight of a children's bicycle is still too much for him.

A few nails were broken in the action just now, and the limp flesh was exposed, mixed with blood, and it hurt a little when the wind blew cold.

Bill took a sip of his coffee.

[How does it feel to be injured for the first time? 】

He looked at the nails that were slowly growing back.

【...I don’t feel much, anyway, it will heal soon. 】

Dipper tried to adjust the bike while waiting for the wound to heal.

"The brakes failed."

He put his injured hand behind his back before speaking to Mabel. Mabel held the little girl and didn't notice his small movements.

"Well...it seems that we need to accompany the little girl to wait for her family." Mabel bent down and looked into the girl's eyes, "Don't be afraid of the little girl, we are not bad people. Let us wait for your friends with you, okay?" ?”

The girl looked terrified, but she was strong and tried not to be so scared.She nodded.

Dipper stepped forward.

"Although it is inappropriate to ask questions at this time... But these questions are very important, can you please answer me?"

Dipper pretended not to see Mabel's disapproving eyes.

"Do you know what year it is?"

"2...2002."

So they came ten years ago.

Ten years ago... 2002 Mystery Shack was open and he could go to Uncle Stan and steal tools.

"Do you know where to go if you want to go to the mysterious hut?"

The girl blinks.

"I'm not sure...but I can think about it."

"Then please."

Mabel suddenly grabbed Dipper's hand and pulled him aside under the latter's blank stare.

"Dipper, you..." She paused, "Could you cut it short? I mean, the little girl was in a terrible shock. Could you please stop asking, she needs reassurance."

Dipper rubbed his nose.

Well, well, Mabel was right, he was really impatient.

"You're right... But we're also short on time, Mabel, the Time Guards are probably on their way, we can't wait here for too long."

Mabel was so surprised that he stuttered.

"You...do you want us to leave her behind?"

Dipper really wants to say that I have done my best to save her, and it is not Alcor's style to wait for her family to pick her up.But Dipper dared to think about it, and Mabel would probably blame him if he said it.He tried to save the country with curves.

"Well... think of Soos, Mabel. We can afford to wait, Soos can't afford to wait. We must fix the time tape and get out of here as soon as possible."

Mabel looked steadily at her brother.

"You go to the mysterious cabin to find tools to repair the tape measure, and I'll wait here with her."

Dipper: "..."

【Are you angry? 】

"Shut up."

Without Mabel by his side, Dipper no longer suppressed himself, he walked with the wind, and he managed to walk the one mile from the town to the cabin in 3 minutes - if it wasn't for the fact that it was daytime, he would have been ready to fly straight away.

But he doesn't look much better now.

Pointed ears, pointed teeth, black nails and whites of the eyes.No matter how you look at it, you don't look like a normal person. Dipper can think about it, since few people know him now, he needs to relax.

He's a demon now, and it's tiring to pretend to be a human.

according to
