"WHAT DO YOU MEAN "HOME?"" Bipper asked while struggling to take his bags downstairs.
"IT'S BAD ENOUGH HAVING THESE NOODLE LEGS NOW I HAVE TO HAVE THESE NOODLE ARMS?" He panted going down the last step.
"Yeah home we have to go to Piedmont that's where me and Dipper live and that's where we go to school" Mabel said cheerfully following Bipper down the stairs.
"WAIT SCHOOL? WITH HUMAN CHILDREN?" Bipper said his eyes wide with fear he had never had an experience with children in a schooling environment and he didn't want to find out what you do in 'schools.'
"Yeah school you're in Dippers body and Dipper needs to go to school" Mabel said as she was waiting for Bipper to move out of the way.
"Yeah Bill I need you to go to school for me I want to watch over Mabel and make sure she's okay without me" Dipper said to Bipper.
"You do know what school is right Bipper?" Mabel asked. Bipper turned to where Dipper was completely ignoring Mabel and her question and a bigger smile spread across his face to where Dipper would be.
"YOU DON'T NEED ME THERE FOR THAT PINE TREE YOU CAN WATCH OVER HER YOURSELF" Bipper said as he finally made it outside.
"Well it would be very odd if I didn't turn up for class and i don't think my parents will allow you to do that" Dipper added still following Bill.
"IF IT WILL SHUT YOU UP I'LL DO IT" Bipper said still trying to get the concept of mumbling.
"Okay you dudes all ready to leave the town and get on a bus out of town?" Soos asked while getting into his truck.
"Yeah I guess I am, I'll miss you mystery shack and all the splinters I got!" Mabel yelled while getting into Soos's truck.
"YEAH YEAH I'LL BE GLAD WHEN ITS OVER" Bipper said while also getting into the truck. The ride to the bus stop was very awkward and it took forever (or what felt like forever) when they finally arrived at the Gravity falls bus stop it was about ten minutes before the bus would actually arrive plenty of time for Mabel to say goodbye to everyone and just enough time for Bipper to ignore everyone around him.
Mabel was saying good bye to her two new best friends she had made over the summer Candy and Grenda, Dipper thought this would be the perfect time to ask Bill if he could say goodbye to everyone for him.
"Bill please I need you to say goodbye to everyone for me. This could be the last time I see them until next summer heck i might not be able to see them again for years or this might be the last i see them altogether so please there's not much time left the bus could be here any second please Bill" Dipper pleaded with Bill but instead of agreeing with him he just gave that creepy smile and said.
"PINE TREE YOU REALLY THINK I WOULD HELP YOU? YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING." Suddenly Ford came up to Bipper and said this.
"Bill I know you may not care at all but I want you to just act like a normal kid when you get to Piedmont, can you do that? please for my family" Bipper then looked at Ford and smiled.
"AHHHHAHAHAHAHA, SIXER YOU'VE GOTTEN FUNNIER SINCE I LAST SAW YOU" after that Bipper simply looked away. Ford then approached Mabel and told her.
"Mabel, Bill won't listen to me but i want you to. All I want you to do is to take care of Bill and make sure he doesn't cause to much trouble."
"I don't know if i can Bipper loves to cause trouble and i don't think i can handle all the chaos i know he'll cause" Mabel said nervously before going back to spend some time with everyone before she left town.
As soon as Mabel finished saying her goodbyes the bus came into view, "so I guess this is goodbye everyone, I'm going to miss you all so much" Mabel said as she was starting to tear up everybody then gave Mabel a huge hug.
"YEAH WHATEVER IF I EVER SEE YOU SKIN PUPPETS AGAIN IT'LL BE WAY TOO SOON" Bipper said while getting on the bus and taking a seat.
"see you guys again real soon" Mabel said as the bus door closed, Mabel was going to miss all the friends she made this summer however there was a bigger problem she had on her hands. She had to know how to deal with Bipper and his craziness and she was not prepared at all.
The bus ride home was a long and awkward one. All Mabel could think about was what would it be like if Dipper was on the bus instead of Bipper, she tried to make conversation with him but it was really hard to when all he would do is make that creepy smile that would haunt her dreams. She started to wonder what all her friends were going to do without her, so for the rest of the bus ride home she decided to look at her scrapbook and think of all the fun times she had in that wacky little town up until that little incident she did that for a while until she fell asleep. Dipper thought this would be the perfect time to tell Bill how to act like him to throw off his parents and everyone else's backs so once again Dipper tried to be reasonable with Bill which he knew that this attempt would go in vain but he had to try so Dipper said with a calm tone "Bill I need you to listen to me" Bipper then turned to Dipper.
"WHATEVER YOU WANT PINE TREE I AIN'T INTERESTED."
" But this is serious Bill if you don't listen to me something bad might happen" Dipper explained trying to be calm.
"LIKE I CARE IF SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN I LIVE FOR THIS CHAOS REMEMBER? AND AT LONG LAST I HAD MY CHANCE OF WORLD DOMINATION AND YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED PINE TREE DON'T YOU? I CAN'T ESCAPE FROM YOUR AWKWARD TEEN BODY AND NO ONE HAS THE ANSWERS NOT EVEN THAT DORK OF A GREAT UNCLE. SO IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME I NEED TO CONTINUE TO IGNORE YOU NOW."
"But I thought you had all the answers you know all knowing and that? isn't that what you tell people?" Dipper asked still trying to be calm for whatever reason.
"WELL KID I GUESS I DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING" Bipper said staring out the bus window.
"Bipper! So I just woke up from my nap and looked in my bag and guess what I found?" Said Mabel who was looking fairly awake for someone who had been asleep for a couple of hours.
"LET ME GUESS YOU FOUND SOME SMILE DIP IN YOUR BAG? NO WAIT! YOU FINALLY FOUND YOUR REAL BROTHER" Bipper said looking into Mabels bag staring at a dirty sock and not caring about what she had to say.
"No way! I burned all of that a long time ago, I found this!" giving him her amazingly awesome jazz hands as she presented it to Bipper.
It was a clip on bow tie! Not of good quality in any way but it still looked good enough to wear "I thought if you were going to be in Dippers body for a while I might as well give you something nice to wear it's not like Dipper has anything nice to wear and i just found it in my bag what random luck" Mabel said as she gave an awkward smile.
"OKAY THAT'S NICE AN ALL BUT IF YOU HAVE A HIDDEN PLAN BEHIND THIS SHOOTING STAR, WHEN I GET MY BODY BACK I WILL HAUNT YOUR DREAMS DOUBLE THE TIMES I WAS GOING TO ALREADY" Bipper said as he adjusted the bow tie to make it look just right in this body at least he had something to remind him he was an all powerful demon.
"No hidden meaning just thought it would be nice" Mabel said still holding her awkward smile.
"STOP SMILING LIKE THAT YOU LOOK LIKE YOUR ABOUT TO BURST INTO TEARS" Bipper screamed in her face way to closely and loudly, Mabel couldn't think of anything to say and so it was back to the awkward silence that they had become accustomed to this whole bus ride.
When the bus finally stopped in Piedmont. Mabel and Dippers parents were there at the bus stop with big smiles and big hugs for the twins Mabel embraced the hugs whereas Bipper avoided the hugs, "Mabel sweetie did you enjoy your summer?" Her mom asked while giving her a big hug.
"Yeah it was amazing I got so many splinters and i played in the grass!" she answered back with a big smile.
"And what about you Dipper?" Their dad asked.
"Dad! Dippers got a cold and with that cold he's also lost his voice" Mabel quickly said trying everything to keep Bipper from talking.
"Cough" Dipper added to make it sound like a more convincing lie.
"I WILL NOT COUGH FOR YOU OR ANYONE PINE TREE, INSTEAD THESE ADULTS OF QUESTIONABLE INTELLIGENCE SHOULD BOW DOWN TO ME AND BEG FOR THEIR PUNY HUMAN LIVES!" Bipper answered with, leaving Mabel and her parents speechless and there mouths hanging wide open.
"Uh… um Dippers super tired from the trip back and he didn't get the best sleep last night so why don't we go back home and unpack?" Mabel said quickly hoping that her lie worked.
"Yeah we better do that so everyone into the car it's time to go home" the twins dad said as the family hopped into the car and drove away from the bus stop.
They arrived home just a short while later, as Mabel grabbed her things she quickly pulled Bipper indoors to make sure he didn't say anything too weird she dragged him upstairs and into the twins room.
"Welcome home Bipper! this is Piedmont I hope this place is super awesome for you" she said as she began to unpack.
"HAHAHA! I KNEW THE PINE TREE WAS NERDY BUT THIS SIDE OF THE ROOM IS HILARIOUS IN HOW MUCH NERD STUFF THERE IS" Bipper said setting his bag down. Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Mabel your mother is making dinner and I thought it would be nice if you helped her" the twins father said to her.
"Yes! I've always wanted to cook!" She said running excitedly down the stairs.
"Now that's she's gone we can have a little father-son bonding time" he said while putting an arm around Bipper.
"I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE NOTICED THIS BUT I CAN'T DO ANY SPORTS, THIS BODY IS SO WEAK JUST LOOK AT THESE LEGS" Bipper said while trying to pull the arm away from him.
"No of course not sports! I know you have no interest in them I just meant we just sit and talk about how your summer was now follow me downstairs" he said leading Bipper to the living room they both sat on different couches and silence fell between them.
"So how was your summer Dipper?" The twins dad asked.
"OH FATHER SUMMER WAS GREAT, FIRST I TRIED TO HELP THIS VENTRILOQUIST DUMMY TO GO INTO STANS MIND AND STEAL A CODE TO A SAFE AND I ALMOST DID IT UNTIL YOUR STUPID KIDS CAME IN AND WREAKED EVERYTHING, AND THEN LATER ON DURING THIS SUMMER I DECIDED TO USE YOUR SONS BODY AS A PUPPET HE PLAYED HIS PART VERY WELL EXPECT HE OVERSTAYED HIS WELCOME AND I HAD THE CHANCE TO PUT MY MILLIONS OF YEAR OLD PLANS INTO ACTION BUT THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON I'M STUCK IN THIS USELESS SKIN! INSTEAD OF TAKING OVER THE WORLD AND GETTING RID OF YOU WITH IT" Bipper stated back his smile grew wider with each passing second of silence.
"AND I PULLED TEETH OUT OF A DEER MOUTH" Bipper added trying to make the father skin puppet more uncomfortable.
"Right… okay then I can see why Mabel said you were tired so how bout you go into your room and rest up a bit and I'll call you when dinners ready" Mabel's father said leading Bipper back upstairs making sure he made his way into his bedroom.
Mabel was in the kitchen helping her mom peel some vegetables when her dad walked in with a pale and somewhat scared face, "oh my gosh! What happened to you" her mom said while looking at his face.
"It's Dipper" Mabel's gut instantly knotted up.
"I just asked him how summer was and he got this crazed look and started talking nonsense. I don't know if he's just tired or if something happened to him in Gravity falls for him to start acting this way" her father explained while getting a glass of water. Mabel knew what she had to do she quickly jumped into the conversation.
"What!? Dad you know that if something happened we would have come home sooner he's just tired from the ride home and anyway he's been a lot like that during the summer" she quickly explained hoping her father didn't catch on to her lie.
"Are you lying too me Mabel? you know i can tell when you're lying" He asked his face getting closer "he knows" Mabel thought "no way! I would never do that now if you'll excuse me I need to go check on Dipper" Mabel said as she walked out of the kitchen.
"Bipper what did you do?" Mabel asked as she slammed the door behind her.
"I GAVE AN HONEST ANSWER I THOUGHT YOUR PARENTS WOULD LIKE THAT YOU KNOW MAKING THEM REALIZE THAT THIS DIMENSION ISN'T THE ONLY ONE" Bipper answered his face getting red and his smile was slowly turning into a pout.
"Yeah, but you can't do that you have to act like Dipper! we need to make them believe you're Dipper" Mabel huffed back.
"WELL SHOOTING STAR SOMEONE'S MAKING SOME IMPOSSIBLE DEMANDS, AND THIS TIME IT'S NOT ME" and just like that more silence fell between the two.
