After Mabel's disastrous puppet show, she headed to Stan's car with Dipper slumping behind. He was exhausted, bruised and sore from getting possessed.
"Yeesh kid. Your sister really did a number on you. So I assume that fight wasn't fake?"
"No."
Dipper was already passed out in the back. His head was slumped on Mabel's shoulder, and she didn't bother to move him. Stan assumed whatever problem happened between them got resolved already.
Mabel figured she shouldn't tell Stan what happened. Both her uncle and brother went back on their promises to each other. She saw their fingers crossed behind their backs.
Well, if he's still keeping secrets I guess we don't have to say anything then.
That was what Dipper told his sister. Mabel didn't like being dishonest however. But looking at her great uncles face she could tell he was done asking questions. Oh well then.
((()))
Dipper was tired that night, but it wasn't easy to sleep.
His body was exhausted, but his brain couldn't shut up. Dippers mind was like a chatty friend who just doesn't know when to zip it.
He almost always felt this way, but without Bill's loud voice echoing in his skull.
Eventually though Dipper fell asleep. And dreamed.
It was a very strange dream.
The Dorito demon was performing surgery on a deer that the preteen stood next to.
A song played in the background.
Anything you say can and will be held against you
So only say my name
It will be held against you
"I don't think you're supposed to be picking the patients nose..."
"Oh shut up Pine Tree and hand me the scalpel."
Dipper stared at the tray in front of him, with unwashed tools covered in black fluid which reminded him of a cows eye dissection at school that ended horribly.
"I'm waiting. Promise I won't stab you again."
"Fine."
Dipper did what he was told and watched in horror as Bill jammed the tool in the deers eye.
"Dude." The deer sat up. "You forgot to put me to sleep. What kind of surgeon doesn't do that?"
The demon laughed. "Dude I ain't no surgeon! I don't even know what I'm doing!"
"Aw bro that's not cool."
Bill shoved the deer off the hospital bed and grabbed Dipper by the collar.
"Pine Trees turn!"
"Woah what? NO!HELP!"
Cipher slammed Dipper on the bed which was suddenly a metal table in a dark room. The only light came from an old TV playing a toddler show about eating healthy. It ended with a duck being eaten alive from the inside out by a creepy puppet. Yeah that's normal.
Bill pulled out a chainsaw that was somehow making no noise and...
Eventually everyone runs out of time
He set to work.
Dipper...
"Any last words? Enjoying the show?"
Come on bro...
Dipper screamed and shot up in bed clutching his stomach.
"Sheesh bro. Stop watching so many creepy things on the Internet."
"It's not that."
"Come on, I heard you sleep talking." She chuckled. "What's your favorite idea? Mine is thinking creatively!"
Dipper cut Mabel off.
"Bill was in my dream."
"Ohhhh..."
"He was performing surgery...except not really. It was gross. And horrifying. Well, goodnight."
Mabel suddenly squeezed him in a hug. "I'm sorry Dipper. I should've helped you. Bill would've left us alone."
"This isn't your fault. Go to sleep."
Mabel made herself comfortable.
"I mean in your own bed. With its two pillows."
"Sounds like someone's jelly!" Mabel teased.
"I'm not jelly. I just want my bed to myself."
"This is what we did when we were little kids and had nightmares, bro."
Dipper knew Mabel could get overprotective when he was troubled with something. Although he found this annoying, he had no more problems with sleeping that the Pines twins had each other's backs whenever possible.

The first song referenced is Just One Yesterday by Fall Out Boy. It really fits with this show. The second song referenced is from Don't Hug Me I'm Scared, a creepy webseries.
I dont think song lyrics are allowed in fanfiction, but I don't hold any copyright claims over them.
