Danger…

The air reeked with its foul odor.

Dipper tried his best to keep his heart from hammering in his chest, but he failed miserably. Even still he followed Ford's lead. After the weirdness wave hit Ford had grabbed a large case, and began to lead Dipper to the clock tower where he was hoping that they'd have a perfect shot at Bill.

The two reached the town square and wasted no time finding the tower, they hurried up the stairs and didn't stop until they reached the room on the top floor.

Ford rushes to set up as Dipper goes to the large window to search for the target.

It doesn't take long for the boy to find what he's looking for. "Bill" he whispers.

The demon had doubled in size since the last time Dipper had saw him, and at the moment he was addressing a small group of scary looking monsters. Dipper listened closely trying to pick up on what they were saying.

"Ready to cause some havoc, boys?" Bill asked in excitement.

The monsters laugh in response.

Dipper's eyes narrowed 'That monster!' he growled inwardly.

'And what did you expect!' he asked himself. 'He was always a monster you just couldn't see past his charms!'

'But he...'

'You don't think he really meant a word he said to you, do you?'

Dipper bit his lip at the thought, and tried to chase away the coming memories; but it was no use. For once he thought about it he couldn't stop himself from being reminded about a time when he actually believed that Bill could be something more than a monster...


(Flashback: Takes place after Sock Opera)

He knew this was going to be awkward!

Dipper bit his lip as he tried his best not to cause a scene, it had been weeks since he had told Wendy his true feelings about her; and he was trying his best to put the whole experience behind him.

Of course it was easier said than done, and Mabel wasn't making it any easier! After the near miss with the time travelers, and the life threatening games of Globnar, Mabel had convinced Soos that they should throw a party for his birthday. It wasn't that Dipper didn't want to celebrate with Soos, no that part wasn't the problem. The problem was Mabel decided to break the oath of silence and tell Wendy's friends about their adventure to the Bunker! And now here he was with his sister, Soos, and Wendy in the middle of all their friends as Wendy made them jealous by telling the hair rising story of the events that had taken place in the bunker.

"I wrestled with that monster to save the journal. But the beast just wouldn't let it go, and then it tried to convince Dipper that I wasn't who I said I was!" Wendy went on.

"And then Dipper hit it with an ax!" Mabel declared.

"Sweet doctor fun times" Nate praised.

And suddenly all eyes were on him!

"Yeah it was so...intense I think I'm gonna have nightmares for life" Dipper admitted.

Everyone laughed and soon Wendy was continuing her story like it was nothing...

But it was something to Dipper, and he just couldn't pretend that things were fine.

"You know Mabel", Dipper said and ran his hand through his hair. "I think I need some fresh air, seriously… I feel like I can't breathe in here", he started to move towards the already open door,

when he felt a tug on his hoodie's sleeve.

"Dipper…" Mabel asked looking worried.

"Don't worry", Dipper said and smiled. "I will be right back, have some fun -" he tapped his twin's cheek gently. "- I'll be back right after I have had my air, okay?"

He didn't stay to hear Mabel's answer, but walked across the room to the ladder that led up to the roof. He sighed in relief as he felt the cold night air hit his face. The view from the roof was pretty nice. Even when it was night time. Dipper leaned on his arms, swinging his feet from the edge, looking up to the stars. The music from Shack was surprisingly faint, but still clear enough to make out the words to the song, not that it mattered really. A faint wind made the boy close his eyes and take a deep breath, before completely relaxing, letting his arms giving out under him and collapsed on the roof. Suddenly Dipper really didn't feel like returning inside the Shack. This was way more comfortable. Being alone, no one nearby you. Just you, the stars, the moon and-

"And me of course!"

'Please tell me I didn't fall asleep!' Dipper's eyes opened and met with the one big eye of Bill Cipher himself! 'Someone please kill me!'

"Oh but if I did that then there would be no one around to pester!" Bill cackled at his own joke as he read Dipper's mind with ease.

Dipper looked around at the different shades of gray and sighed, he knew that he should be scared of the situation he had just found himself in. But somehow, the boy didn't feel the need to panic at the sight of the certain dream demon, floating in front of him. Dipper just decided to close his eyes again and crossed his arms behind his head.

'Maybe if I ignore him he'll go away.' he thought.

"Did you miss me?" Bill asked almost hopefully.

'So much for that!'

"What do you want, Bill?" the boy mumbled. There was a silence, before he heard a small disappointed sigh.

"Do I look like I always want something, kid?" Bill asked, with disapprove tone in his voice. That made the male twin open his left eye and looked at the dream demon, now sitting right beside him.

"Well", Dipper started. "Usually that is the reason why you appear. You know all the handshakes and deals with blue flames and stuff", the boy continued, eyeing the triangle who huffed, making a risen eyebrow expression to him.

"I just want to have a small chat with you, Pine Tree", the demon said and rolled his eye. He floated again above the boy, poking Dipper's cheek with his cane. "I have been-"

"-Watching me? Keeping your eye on me?" Dipper finished and couldn't help but grin as the demon's eye turned a little red with anger, but it soon vanished as quickly as it had appeared.

"As I was saying", Bill said with warning tone and Dipper closed his eye again, still slightly smiling and relaxed. "I have been keeping eye on you, and my single eye saw that my favorite meat sack is being miserable", the triangle said, poking Dipper's cheek again, making the boy drop his smile. "So why don't you tell good old Bill, what is bugging you?"

Dipper slowly took a deep breath in and looked at the demon. He narrowed his eyes. "What's the catch?"

"Geez, kid", Bill exclaimed happily and snapped his fingers, making Dipper sit up instead of laying. "There isn't any catch just-"

"There is always a catch when I talk with you, Bill", the male twin sighed, rubbing back of his neck. He really didn't want to deal with Bill's shit right now. And after he took his body the last thing he wanted was to be near the demon.

"Yes, but even I can be surprising, Pine Tree", the demon said, and Dipper knew that if the demon had two eyes, he would wink right now. Bill moved himself behind Dipper, patting the boy's shoulder.

"So tell me, kid. What is going on in that great head of yours?" the demon asked.

"Why should I? All you've done is terrorize me and my sister. You tried to destroy Stan's mind-"

"Look Kid I know we've had our issues but I told you, trying to erase your uncle's mind was all Gideon's idea. It was just a job kid, I can't survive without making deals every now and then." the demon reasoned.

"You stole my body!" Dipper screamed.

"And I soon came to regret it, now didn't I" Bill snapped.

"Yeah well What about your plans?" Dipper snapped right back

"What plans?"

"You know; I've got big plans coming and I can't have you getting in my way" Dipper said, practically quoting what Bill had said when he stole his body.

"Look kid what do you want me to say? Yes I have plans alright, but that isn't important." the demon said obviously trying to sweep the whole subject under the rug.

"And there not important because?" Dipper asked.

"Because this isn't about me it's about you." Bill reasoned.

"Me?" Dipper was really confused now.

"Yes you're troubled and I'm all ears" Bill said and laughed as ears began to pop up all over his body. "See all ears; get it!"

Dipper rolled his eyes and turned away.

"Oh come on kid" Bill floated back in front of him. "Holding things in like this isn't healthy."

The boy hummed and stuck his bottom lip out. "So what do you care", he started. "Besides I don't think I shouldn't tell my problems to anyone who is shaped like a Dorito", Dipper said and got up to leave, missing Bill's murderous look, and was answered with silence.

For a moment Dipper wondered if the demon had gone away. Well, not like it mattered, maybe now he would get some peace and-

Suddenly two black arms wrapped around him.

Dipper blinked in obvious confusion, looking down seeing indeed arms around his waist and someone pulling him against a brick like chest. The boy's eyes widened as he turned to look at over his shoulder, coming face to face with the demon his eye curved as if he was sporting an invisible mischievous grin.

"You know kid weather you leave the roof are not you're still asleep in reality." The demon said pointing out the obvious.

Dipper just stared at him, making very good impression of fish, which just make Bill laugh. "So are you going to tell me?"

Dipper sighed "You're not going to leave until I tell you, are you?"

"Wow kid nothing gets passed you!" Bill laughed his triangle form shook with obvious glee. "But seriously Kid I promise that if you tell me I will leave."

"Well", Dipper started and looked away from the demon. "I just… Well I feel totally embarrassed cause I told Wendy how I feel about her", he told truthfully, surprising himself that he actually told the truth to the demon. He would have lied easily, but…

When he didn't hear Bill say anything, Dipper decided to continue.

"Wendy says she's too old for me, and we promised to still be friends and I've even stopped obsessing about her. But now things keep dragging us back into the awkward zone-" Dipper fell silent as the demon rested his chin on Dipper's head, much to the male twin's protest, and sighed.

"So Red knows how you feel, it's no big deal kid." the demon said as if it was nothing.

But it was something to Dipper. "I knew you wouldn't be any help." he said with a slightly hurt tone.

Bill softens "Red is simply moving on with her life kid, and she's choosing to keep you in it instead of being totally weird out by your confession. Which means awkward moments are gonna happen, you should learn to roll with it; relax a little, kid", the demon advised. "You know, actually have fun… dance and just, you know, be a normal teenager."

The boy frowned and opened his mouth, but stopped as he realized that Bill had actually gave him some useful advice. "What game are you playing Cipher!" he asked, his eyes narrow with suspicion.

"Game? Kid I already told you I wasn't up to anything." Bill snapped.

"Then why are you being so nice to me?" Dipper dared to ask.

"I don't know I guess I'm bored or something like that." Bill shrugged. "Besides I told you kid I like you, you're a lot more likeable then most meat sacks and well between you and me I'm kind of lonely."

Dipper bit his lip, feeling slightly guilty. Here he was treating the demon harshly, and all he was trying to do was help him feel better. 'Great job, Dipper.' he scowled himself. "Well maybe you could stick around and we could-"

"What dance to this cheesy music?" Bill mocked.

"Actually I can't dance." Dipper turned red the moment the words came out. 'What the hell was that! Why did I just say that to Bill? It's not like I want to dance with him!"

Dipper could actually hear the grin in Bill's voice when the demon started to speak again.

"You are lucky that I can", he said.

Dipper just blinked in confusion, still looking at Bill over his shoulder.

"Come on, let's see just how bad you are!"

"Hey, what are you-" Dipper was suddenly facing the demon, looking up to Bill's face as the demon pulled him closer from his waist and took his hand in his. Bill then tapped his own shoulder (did he really have a shoulder or was it just his arm? Dipper wasn't sure.) "You put your right arm here", he told him, and rose Dipper's right hand onto his shoulder.

The boy just blinked, since everything had happened so fast. When it finally hit him, his face went cherry red, making Bill laugh out loud. "Relax, kid. It's just dancing", the demon chuckled and started the slow pace. The music from the Shack was luckily loud enough to be heard in here so this didn't look extremely stupid.

The first steps were clumsy and Dipper mumbled his sorry's when he stepped on the demon's feet. Since the demon had increased his size thus making his triangular self a bit taller than Dipper. Dipper was sure Bill did this so he could look down on him with a mocking smile as Dipper struggled not to blush. But Dipper could careless because all he could think about at that moment was how embarrassing this was, and how he had agreed to do this. Well technically he didn't, since Bill made him dance with himself, but he could just push him away and demand him to leave so he could wake up! So why he didn't? Why was he still here, with an actual demon and-

Then it hit him.

Dipper groaned and looked up at Bill, who was staring at him, with a blissful glint in his eye...

'Wait did I just thing that Bill's eye looks blissful!'

"You did something to me didn't you!" Dipper shouted.

"What?" Bill asked almost dazed.

"You cast a spell on me or something so I would dance with you and tell my problems to you?" the boy snapped, frowning at him.

Bill blinked and hummed. Then he just shook his head. "No this is all your doing, Pine Tree."

"I don't know if that is worse", the boy mumbled and was sure the demon caught it, since the grip on his waist tightened making him flinch slightly. There was a hand on his chin as Bill lifted his chin up, looking deeply in his eyes.

"You know", the dream demon started. "You could just push me away."

Dipper swallowed hard, making a weak attempt to look away. He failed miserably! "I could." he admitted.

'Damn it,' his voice came out way more faintly than it was intended to.

"And demand me to wake you up so you can walk back downstairs… To your family and friends", Bill continued, his eye looking a little unfocused, Dipper noted. The demon moved his hand away from the boy's chin to his cheek and rubbed his thumb across Dipper's cheekbone.

"Th-which I would… do", Dipper mumbled, unconsciously leaning on the demon's hand. It felt nice and comfortable, and then again Dipper felt like hitting himself. He was letting Bill do this to him and he wasn't running away. It was like he didn't care.

And maybe he didn't.

"But still here you are-", Bill lowered his voice, "-just you and me-", he leaned a little closer, "- alone on the roof-In your mind-" Bill's hand from Dipper's face moved upwards, "-and you aren't running away."

When Bill's breath hit Dipper's face, the boy's breath hitched and he swallowed hard. His thoughts were so mussy and he couldn't think straight.

'Oh God, what is Bill doing to me!'

"I am not doing anything, Pine Tree. It's just you", Bill said, running his hand across the boy's brown locks. "All you." Bill brushed Dipper's hair away from his forehead, fingers running across the boy's birthmark.

As much as he hated when someone looked at the mark, Dipper shuddered and closed his eyes. Their bodies were still swaying with the music, but with much slower pace now. It was almost unnoticeable.

"Mason?"

The boy opened his eyes again, surprised that his name was being called. It felt foreign coming from the demon's mouth. He looked at Bill, who seemed to be much closer now and felt himself being pulled a little bit more against the demon's body. Dipper noted that it was very warm body indeed.

"Are you scared?" Bill asked with a whisper and Dipper blinked lazily, once again pulled away from his own thoughts. It felt weird, because he wasn't scared. He wasn't scared at all, no he was...happy and... Relaxed. So he shook his head, "no" He whispered.

Bill chuckled lowly and leaned in." You should be."

"I know." Dipper whispered again and leaned in as well.

Their lips got closer and closer and...

~Flash Back Ends!~


(Present Time)

Ford grunts, snapping Dipper out of his daydream, He turns to see that the old man was preparing a rifle of some kind.

"Ah, my quantum destabilizer. I've been waiting a long time to use this." Ford admitted.

Dipper turned back to give Bill one last glance, he couldn't help the guilt that struck him deep in his gut.

'It's not like it meant anything to me' he thought, but he knew it was a lie.

'Stop it man! Can't you see he used you?!' Dipper forced himself to look away.

"Now we're only gonna have one chance to take this shot." Ford said as he takes aims at Bill out the window. "Steady... steady... and..."

Another weirdness wave passes over them causing the bell of the clock tower to come alive. "Woohoohoohoohoohoohoohoohoo I'm alive now!" the bell yelled.

Ford jumps and accidentally fires and watches hopelessly as a hole appears in Bill's hat. "Oh no!"

Dipper watches as Bill's hat heals as if it were an appendage instead of an accessory.

"Well, well, well," Bill smiles. "And here I thought today couldn't get any BETTER!" He fires a beam at the tower, destroying it in one blast.


Author's Notes: Okay guys before you go pointing figures I know that the Flash back sounds a lot like chapter 1 of "Are You with Me?" by Kicchi from AO3. That's because this is where the idea generated from. And while it sounds like it it's not exact! So it is not copy write. But I'm still giving credit to Kicchi 'cause I'm honest.

So now that that's out of the way let's review the changes so far.

1. Bill brings a whole army of demons with him and not just his friends.

2. He tells them to capture all the humans and turn them to stone, but their allowed to do what they like to any that catch their eye.

3. Dipper's flash Back hints that there might be something more going on between him and Bill.

Thanks for reading as always I ask you to leave a comment. The next chapter will be up soon.

Until then this is...
