3rd Person POV

A week passed by and Bill hadn't visited Dipper. He is probably just busy. Dipper thought but couldn't help but worry.

Tonight, was no difference, Dipper had woken up because he had a nightmare. He hadn't had any of those since the time he met Bill.

Rubbing his eyes, Dipper stood up from bed. After that nightmare he needed to take a small walk to shake his fear off.

In Dipper's nightmare he had returned to the Fearamid only to realize Bill was dead. Without Bill by his side, he needed to rule over the world all alone.

He had felt so lonely and ended up freezing to death in the snow (even though it was summer now, the dream took place in the winter).

Dipper walked up the stairs only to see that the lights in the lab were on.

"Ford?" Dipper walked inside the lab. Realizing that Ford was nowhere to be seen, he decided to see who was in the lab in this late hour.

Dipper walked further inside the lab to see someone working on the big portal Ford didn't want to talk about.

As Dipper was getting closer to see who it was he tripped on some of the tools laying on the ground and cursed under his breath as his knee had started bleeding.

"Who's there?" To Dipper's relieve it really was just Ford.

"M-Me uncle Ford um... sorry for disturbing you I just had a nightmare and-" Dipper stood up from the ground and Ford noticed his bruised knees.

"It's alright Dipper don't worry about it. Actually... why don't you come here and help me with this?" Ford gestured for Dipper to come.

"Didn't you say the portal was a mistake? Why are you..."Dipper sheepishly walked over to Ford and looked over his shoulder. "fixing it?"

"Well... It was a mistake because Bill made me build it. This thing leads to the Nightmare Realm." Ford explained. Bill had of course told Dipper all about his and Ford's past, but Dipper never got Ford's side of the story.

"Oh, I see... why?" Dipper asked.

"Because this is... our only chance. If I fix the portal, and I fix it right, we might be able to get Bill back to his dimension." Ford explained.

"Wait really? How?" Dipper asked another question and Ford chuckled.

"You ask a lot of questions, huh?"

"Oh s-sorry I didn't mean to be annoying." Dipper apologized.

"I meant it as a good thing." Ford gave Dipper's shoulder a pat. "The Nightmare Realm is where Bill and his monsters came from. Bill and his demons and the Nightmare Realm are like two magnets. Bill and all his weirdness will be sucked back in there if we open the portal."

"So why didn't you just do that in the first place?"

"Because it's easier said than done. I will need some equipment that I think Bill owns and I will also need the journals." Ford sighed. "But don't worry, we will get the journals soon enough"

After that Dipper helped Ford for a bit before going back to bed and falling asleep.

Dipper POV
A week later

I woke up as usual and went to the living room where everyone was gathered with Ford standing in the middle.

Today is the day we need to go to the Fearamid. I won't be going but I have heard Wendy, Mabel, and Stan were going.

I couldn't help but wonder how it would go. Like I said, I probably won't be going on this mission since the only thing I have done in this one week I was here is being in the lab with Ford, so I don't have much experience.
