"NO, NO NO NO NONONONO!" Bill, or what had once been Bill, shouted. "How can I have been so stupid?!" He slapped his newly-turned-human hand to his face. A moment ago, he had been a one-eyed, four limbed floating yellow pyramid with a top hat and a bowtie. Now, he was a pale, blond haired man seemingly in his mid-twenties, with a yellow suit-and a top hat and a bowtie.

All because he flew into a damned tree branch and fell into that stupid stream.

He gulped. He was vulnerable, and he knew it. A human in the middle of a town of vicious monsters. Not only did this mistake cost him his whole plan, it could also cost him his now mortal life.

It didn't take him long to formulate a plan, however. Step one, befriend the Pines so they don't bite or kick him into submission, or worse. He wasn't quite sure yet what step two would be, but he would figure something out. He started walking his way out of the woods to the Mystery Shack.

If this didn't work, he was screwed.
