Science Fair

[POV Dippers Room]

A Week Later...

A young brown haired boy worked tirelessly assembling various mechanisms and attaching them all to a rectangular robot with treads. On the table completely spread out was a blown up diagram and in the top right corner of the diagram was a small notebook showing a miniature version of the robot.

The name above read Butter Bot, and then there was a signature in the top left corner that read Mason Pines.

The diagram showed a rectangular robot with one ocular lense to see where eit is going and two limbs meant solely for picking up butter. But there seemed to be various unnecessary contraptions added, such as wires leading from the solar panels and auxiliary batteries leading up to something labeled as electrical discharge, showing various lighting bolts surrounding some small metal construct hidden within the robot that used multiple gear box motors to slowly raise a hidden access port.

"Honey Dipper's starting to really worry me." A woman spoke out with worry.

"I know sweetie,Mable said she didn't notice anything different though. And every time we try to ask Dipper what's wrong he just doesn't answer, so all we can do is give him his space he knows he can come to us and he will when hes ready." The man reasoned.

"I hope your right." The woman responded dejectively still filled with evident worry.

One Month Later....

Various students walked around looking at the various exhibits yet no one paid a brown haired boys exhibit any mind, it was as if he didn't exist. Yet his exhibit was the most impressive it had a fully functioning robot that spoke aswell as offered butter for a brown haired boys toast that he gladly took while the boy seemed to sigh beginning to look depressed.

"Thanks Butter bot."

"Your very welcome Dipper."

The boy slowly munched on his toast in silence slowly but sure enjoying the very well buttered toast, for the next few minutes.

"You know Butter Bot, I'm not surprised at this point that everyone's ignoring me. I really did hope people would finally notice me again but in the end it really was pointless."

"I really don't have anyone but my family left?" The boy spoke out with sadness being apparent in his tone, tears began to well up in his eyes as it finally became undeniably true that things weren't going to go back to how they once were.

"It seems so, I am sorry Master Dipper but it seems it's out of my capabilities. But I'll do my very best to butter your toast and protect you while you sleep just like you made me for."

The boy smiled slightly even though tears were begging to run down his face. his eyes slowly turning back to being completely light brown from partly red.

"Thank you Butter Bot I'd really like that."

All the while everyone around the human robot pair, laughed, and enjoyed themselves looking at the various projects such as paper mache Volcanoes, bottle tornadoes, pednulmns, and other common projects that take little to no effort to make. The bot with brown hair picked up his mechanical companion and began to walk towards one of the gymnasium exits, the robot and human pair jovially conversed with each other making the boys mood better by the second.

One Year Later....

A boy with extraordinarily pale skin paler than snow it was almost as if the boy had no blood in his body, under his eyes were dark patches of skin that made it seem as if he hadn't been sleeping as he had several opened books around him various ritual supplies, such as chalk some red substance was contained in various viles. There was chalk, and several unlit candles. All thr while the boy searched through various sources on rituals, aswell as creatures of the mind, another tab read missing children. Another read police protocols.

On the boys desk was a mug with a design of a pig dressed up in a spider themed costume hanging from the rim of the mug. The mug was filled with a light brown liquid that the boy occasionally took sips from.

A rectangular robot help pick up and throw things in a bin with a mechanical marionette doll that seemed to reflect the candle light off its outer shell.

One Year Later....

Various dolls made of straw that had clothing on with multiple slash Mark's on them were in a black plastic garbage bag that was left opened. One of the dolls wore a baggy sweatshirt and long brown hair. Various books on different occult topics, such as different kinds of magic, rituals, even a book in demons.

Three Marionettes worked on picking up various pieces of trash meanwhile a rectangular robot trained its ocular lense in the Marionettes overseeing them as they stacked up in each others shoulders to turn the door knob as one of them rushed out of the room.

The boy scribbled down the words useless on the book he was reading and tossed it aside.

"He hasn't gotten better in two years, if anything hes gotten worse ever since the science fair."

*Sigh*

"I know, even though we complimented and tried to motivate him after seeing he didn't come home without a ribbon. Which is honestly odd since first place was a paper mache Volcano, instead of a functioning robot that you can have a conversation with."

The woman seemed annoyed with how he got side tracked from the main topic.

"Honestly hunnie there is nothing we really can do to help him out if he doesn't approach us. If he doesn't want help everything we do will just make things worse, all we need to do is give him time to heal."

"And if he doesn't heal?" The woman asked frustratedly.

"Well we could see if he's depressed and from there get him some anti-depressants."

*Sigh*

"Fine but if this doesn't work so help me Harold Pines, you will be sleeping on the floor for a whole month!"

[POV Nightmare Realm]

A Triangular being was sipping on a tequila as he laid on his throne.

"It's going even better than I could have ever expected Frank, Dipper blames his sister completely for everything that's happening. Though it had proven difficult to manipulate his thoughts due to his ancestory. That stupid bat made things hard after tricking him into a deal or two, but it was worth it for a stronger pawn."

The Red imp didn't dare to interrupt the triangular beings musings.

"In a few years your going to manipulate Pinetree give or take a few months after he enters Gravity Falls, and if you fail well I think you'll make a fine addition to my throne."

The Triangular being casually said causing the imp to tremble in fear.

"I understand my lord." The demon responded fearfully and resolutely.
