Summary:

Bill meets himself. As you do, from time to time.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

"I'm on top of the world!" the boy who wasn't Dipper exclaimed, standing atop a very precarious pile of stock boxes.

"Kid, I'm gonna have to ask you to get down," Bill sighed. "Who even are you, huh?"

The boy cackled, then. "Hey, you should recognise yourself when you see you!"

"So that's how it is..." Bill sighed, "Birch Tree."

"Oh, come on!" Bipper complained, "You won't even call you by your own name?!"

"Yeah, well," Bill scoffed, "I'm me. What you are is Pine Tree's memories of me. I don't have to call you anything."

Bipper rolled his eyes and breezed past all that, boasting, "Think about it! Think about it! We, together, could fuck so much shit up, make the world ours! Come on, me! Whaddaya say? Join me up here!" He knelt down and reached out a hand, as if he even had the capacity to make real deals.

"...I'm getting the spray bottle."

Notes:

We have IDEAS. But we need to get through Circuitry of Fright first, and honestly, Dipper's plurality could (should!) get a whole arc of its own. So you get this, just a quick plopping of silliness.

Because we'd like to touch on some of the non-spoilery aspects:
* Bipper's core personality does come from Dipper's memories of pre-Theraprism Bill.
* In the Mindscape, his form is that of Dipper being possessed by Bill, rather than the triangle.
* No, this is not a literal piece of Bill that was "left behind" - and even if it was, Bill doesn't have the power to utilise such connection. Rather Bipper is an introject, in the sense of being a "recreation" of a familiar person.
