Dipper wondered all day about what bill had said. "ugh, I'm going crazy..." Dipper sighed. Mabel walked up and sat down next to him in his room. "Whats up Mabel?" he faked a smile. Mabel knitted her brows together looking concerned. "Dipper you've been acting funny all day..." she trailed off looking at her brother with pity in her eyes.
"I'm fine Mabel. It's nothing."
"Dipper..."
"..."
Dipper sighed and turned to his sister. "Mabel, things are complicated right now, okay? I have some stuff going on... please, leave me alone for a little while. I have to think about something important." He felt guilty at alienating her, but there was nothing she could do. What was he going to do anyways? tell her about bill? Nah. Mabel sat up and walked out of his room, stopping at the end near his door. "You know you shouldn't push people away like that, I was only trying to help you Dipper." she walked out of the room and downstairs. Dipper winced at the words, staring at the open door for a few seconds.
He plopped himself on his bed. "What am I doing?" he talked to the ceiling fan as it rotated slowly. "I'm in way to deep, this is crazy." He looked to the clock next to him. 9:59pm the clock read. Dipper closed his eyes. "Fine bill, whatever it is you want from me, I'm ready for it." He drifted off into sleep once more. Again the strange area from before with the foggy woods and moonlight. Dipper stood in the middle of the woods. He felt anger began to take him, no not anger, frustration, depression, anxiety.
"Fine Bill! Come on! What do you want! I'm right here!" He shouted at the sky. He waited. Nothing. He felt tears drip down his face. "What do you want from me...?" he sat with his head buried in his knees.
Bill grimaced at the sight of his beloved Dipper. "Pine tree?" he called out lightly. He walked out into the clearing. "Dipper?" he called again walking up behind him. Dipper glanced back at bill with rage in his eyes. Bill flinched. "Dipper I-" Dipper cut him off and jumped up to face him. "You what? What is it? Huh? You try to kill me and my family! Ruin this town! Destroy the fucking world! and now you want my help?!" Dipper yelled at Bill who stood shocked by his actions. Dipper stood silent. "That's what I thought." He turned and walked off into the woods. "Dipper! wait!" Bill chased after him.
Bill appeared in front of Dipper moments later. "Dipper stop." Bill gave him a half sad half serious look. Dipper glared at him. "What deal did you want anyways, Cipher?" he spat out. "I just wanted to talk to you about something..." Dipper relaxed a little. "What was it?" Dipper looked annoyed. "Well first you can calm the fuck down." he said, floating mid air. Dipper huffed. Bill sighed.
Bill conjured two chairs for them to sit in. "Have a seat." Dipper looked puzzled and sat down in the chair hesitantly.
"Tell me Dipper, what has been bothering you lately?" Bill asked.
"Well, fights at school, people hate me, I hate myself, ect..." he answered. "Why do you want to know anyways Bill?"
Bill sighed. "I'm worried about you Dipper."
Dipper scoffed. "You're a demon, you don't care jack shit about me."
"That's where you are wrong, Pine tree."
"..." Dipper looked puzzled.
"I care a lot about you and wanted to know if you wanted these people gone?"
"Gone?" Dipper looked shocked.
"Gone." Bill restated.
"and what to I have to do in return?" Dipper hesitatingly asked.
"I gain some of you're life force to be able to walk around in a human body, much like my own now, but I wouldn't have powers so don't fret about that."
"Why would you do that? No powers?" Dipper questioned.
"Well I could still switch in and out of demon form but in human no powers heheh." He held out a blue flamed hand to Dipper. "What do you say Pine tree? No more problems with those people in exchange for about 1 year off you're life?"
Dipper looked at his hand then at Bill. He hesitated. "Okay Bill." He shook the mans hand.
"Deal."
