Alone A Gravity Falls Fanfic Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Dipper sat silently inside the waiting room of the doctor's office.

He tried everything he could to avoid coming back here; but it was only inevitable that he would be back here. His parents couldn't and didn't want to understand him; so the only way to fix that supposed problem was to send to doctor to try to come up with an idea that could be wrong with him.

The boy firmly believed that he was fine, but he needed to convince the doctor that his parents were forcing him to talk otherwise.

The lady at the front desk called his name.

"Dipper Pines! Dr. Harkin is ready for you!"

Dipper breathed deeply as he followed the woman behind to one of the many different offices in the back. She stopped at the corner office near the back of the one hallway. Opening the door, the boy could see the large office that contained a large oak desk in the back by the large windows. A couple of comfy chairs and a lounge couch in the one corner, and a large bookcase in the other corner.

"Have a seat wherever you like. The doctor will be with you shortly." The lady closed the door.

Dipper had a seat in one of the chairs in one of the chairs by the large desk. His body was trembling at the thought of relaying all of his thoughts to a complete stranger that was being pain a large amount to listen to things that he could barely relate to. To then give some explanation as to what his problem was before pumping his system full of medication that he may or may not have needed.

The boy sighed as he watched a small little bird flying outside the window.

"I wish I could just fly away like you." He smiled sadly.

There was a knock on the door before Dr. Harkin came into the office.

There wasn't anything special about the doctor. He was just a man in his late forties or early fifties with thick curly grey hair and beard to match; and he was simply dressed in a wool grey sweater and some grey suit pants.

"Hello Dipper, nice to meet you again." The man said, extending his hand out for the boy to take.

Dipper only nodded as he shook the man's hand.

Dr. Harking sat down at his desk.

"Your mother tells me that you've been having some issues for quite awhile. She claims that it may have had something to do with your summer vacation at great uncle's house up in Oregon. Is this true?"

Dipper only sat there as he watched the grey clouds dancing outside the window.

"Dipper did you spend the summer up in Oregon?" Dr. Harkin asked, raising his voice slightly.

"Yeah..." He said, quietly.

"Did you have fun?"

"It was the best summer I ever had. I made some great friends."

"Like who?"

"There was Soos. He worked at my great uncle's tourist destination called the Mystery Shack. He was like an older brother to me and my sister. Then there was Wendy..." Dipper seemed to turn a deep shade of red.

"Was this Wendy a girl you may of had a crush on?"

Dipper blush a wild shade of red.

"Umm... I guess, but nothing could ever come of it. She's fifteen and I'm only thirteen, but even now, it's hard not to think about her; and thanks to her I became friends with her group, and for the first time, I felt like I actually belonged. I felt like Gravity Falls is where I'm supposed be, not here."

Dr. Harkin tapped his pencil lightly before speaking.

"I understand that you had an incident at school involving you going on about some events that may have taken place this summer?"

Dipper wanted to scream at the doctor about everything that had happened this summer; but if the kids didn't believe him, what made him think that the doctor would, either?

"I-I-I..." He couldn't say anything.

"Young man, I'm afraid that I have to side with your parents. You're getting to be much to old about going on about the supernatural and these fantasies that you had. You know very well that none of that is true; and that you pulled your little charade to get yourself attention. Attention that wasn't very good, right?"

Dipper nodded.

"You claim that people made fun of you when you are the primary reason for that problem. It's all right to enjoy those type of things when you know that it's just for fun, but it's not okay when you're trying to pass it off as real when you know very well that it's not." Dr. Harkin said, firmly looking into the boy's eyes.

"B-b-but..." Dipper protested.

"You need to start growing up Dipper. Otherwise you will never be happy."

Bill was listening to conversation outside the door.

He grinned as he saw isolated Dipper was at that very moment. Soon the boy wouldn't be able to escape from him; even if he tried.

"Now Dipper I want to try something with you. Have you ever been hypnotized?" The doctor asked.

Dipper paled as he shook his head.

Dr. Harkin smiled.

"Oh there's nothing to worry to about; all I'm going to do is put you into a deep sleep. From there I can communicate to you through yourself self conscious to see why you are having all these issues and how we can help you fix them.

Bill grinned in delight.

It was finally show time.

Dr. Harkin brought out an old watch that was attached to a dangling chain before he began to slowly sway it back and forth in front of Dipper's eyes.

"Look closely at the watch Dipper, your body should start to relax as you deepen your gaze. Are you relaxing?"

Dipper could his whole body relaxing for the first in God knew how long.

"You'll slowly feel your eyelids become very heavy. You're becoming very sleepy."

Dipper tried very hard to keep his eyes open, the relaxing movement of staring at the watch was causing the boy to slowly start to drift off. Then after a short amount of time, the boy was in a deep sleep.

"Now Dipper I'm going to ask you some questions and you'll just have to answer them."

The boy remained still.

"Now what possessed you to believe that everything you happened to see this summer was real?"

No response.

"Dipper I need you to give me an answer!"

Dipper remained completely still, almost as if he were dead.

"DIPPER?!" The doctor cried, angrily.

Within that moment however, Dipper's eyes shot open. Only now they were an ominous looking yellow.

The doctor was rather surprised by this.

"Dipper?" He asked, confused.

The boy laughed in a voice that was not his own.

"Dipper isn't here right now, but you can talk to me all you want!" The being said.

"Then if you're not Dipper, then who are you?" The doctor asked with interest.

The boy or whatever was speaking through him bowed.

"The name's Bill Cipher." He said.

"Well then, Bill... How did you come into contact with him?"

"Oh that's simple, I simply followed Pine Tree, back home. Poor kid was so sad and lonely; so I offered him some fatherly affection. You know since his own parents seem to think he's a failure and all."

"That's not true in the slightest. Parents can be tough on their children sometimes, but that's because they want there child to be the best they can be."

Bill... or Bipper only grinned in his psychotic manner.

"Oh believe me, beardy, I was there. I heard the exact words come out of there mouth. There is no way Pine Tree could twist those words even if he tried."

Dr. Harkin continued to stare.

"So how exactly did you come into existence? Are you a personality that he created?"

Bipper laughed manically.

"Yeah! Pine Tree could come up with someone as dazzling as me! I'm not a personality at all. I'm a dream demon."

"A dream demon?"

"Yeah! I can get inside your mind when you dream and learn all about you. In the mindscape, there isn't anything I can't see."

"Why did you decide to latch on to Dipper?"

"Like I said, I followed him from Gravity Falls, I offered to give him parental affection that he feels that Charlie and Mary aren't giving him; and I've been doing a great job at it. Which is why everything is going as I see fit." Bipper grinned, smugly.

"What do you mean?" Dr. Harkin asked.

"I have plans for my Little Pine Tree!"

"What kind of plans?"

"Well, since he had to get in my way and ruin everything I believe retribution is in order."

"I don't understand." Dr. Harkin said looking in deep into Bipper's ominous orbs.

"My proper choice of punishment is to completely isolate Pine Tree from everybody that he knows; and once that is complete, I will then have my own little toy to cause mischief with. But since I'm talking to you now, it's already started to begin." The dream demon laughed, insanely.

Dr. Harkin frowned before he began writing on his notepad.

"I think I know now what the problem is with Dipper."

"Well I guess we all figured out something new today, didn't we?!" The demon grinned.

"I'm going to wake up Dipper now. Thank you for giving me the proper information I needed."

"No Problem! Oh and remember... REALITY IS AN ILLUSION THE UNIVERSE IS A HOLOGRAM BUY GOLD BYE!" (I had to add that some where in the fic )

Dr. Harkin quickly snapped his fingers to cause Dipper to wake up screaming. His chest was pounding a mile a minute.

"What happened?!" He demanded, not having any knowledge of what had taken place.

"It's over Dipper... I think I know what the problem is."

"What is it?" The boy asked.

"I think that a very worried about disappointing your parents; and sometimes you may even go so far as to think you actually hear your parents say that they are ashamed of you. So you try to hide away alone so no one can hurt you."

Dipper wanted to protest as he had heard his parents exact words. He couldn't twist them around.

But he decided to keep his mouth shut so he could leave soon.

"The problem is your filled with lots of anxiety and maybe your fantasies about the supernatural and wanting to express it are ways you think will help you cope; but when you were ridiculed for your childish claims. Your anxiety was pushed higher and higher."

Dipper only sat there as he tried to calm his pounding chest. What was going on?

The doctor began writing something on a small piece of paper.

"I'm going to put you on something that should help with your anxiety." He handed it to him. "Once you start taking it, I'm pretty sure you'll be more at ease and you may even start sleeping better again." He smiled, handing the boy the paper

"Thanks..." Dipper said, drily.

"I believe our time is up for today, but I would like to meet again two weeks from today to see how you are adjusting."

The boy nodded as stood up to leave.

"Goodbye Dipper. See you again soon."

He only grunted before he ran out of the room.

What had happened when he had gone into that trance? Was it something he said or did he do something weird? Did Bill appear before the doctor and put his two cents in?

He shook his head roughly before he walked back into the waiting room to see his mother waiting for him.

"So what happened?" She asked.

"He gave me prescription for some medicine that is supposed to help with anxiety and he wants me to come to in two weeks to see who I am doing." He answered.

His mother hugged him.

"See don't you feel so much better?" She asked.

"I guess." Was all he said.

"Come on, honey. We're going to go do some shopping at the mall. Maybe some new clothes will help as well."

Dipper sighed as he walked out of the doctor's office to join his sister in the car.
