Chapter 3
Pain is gain, loss is a must…
Bill hovered over the shocked Dipper Pines while Dipper was still trying to figure out how Bill returned…
"Bill!? How did you get back!?" Dipper panicked.
"Oh I gave my father the old slip and got away. However, I don't have my body anymore so… I'll just have to find a new one." Bill said.
"Like hell you are! I'm going to stop you Bill and send you back to your damn dimension!" Dipper said.
"Oh Pine tree…So predictable. Don't you think I already knew that you and your wrenched family would try to stop my plans? I won't let you banish me again, I will find a new body and reek hell on earth! Hahahahahaha." Bill laughed.
"I will find out who you are targeting Bill and I will make sure you won't possess him!" Dipper said.
"Oh don't worry Pine tree, he isn't even born yet." Bill said with a sly face as he looked over to Mabel.
"DON'T YOU DARE! Leave Mabel's child out of this!" Dipper yelled.
"Well I don't know quite yet if it would be a boy. However, if he is a boy I will possess him and use my magic to make him older. Once I do that I will find what I've been looking for…" Bill said.
"What are you looking for you damn dream demon!?" Dipper demanded.
"Like I tell you. Anyways time for me to scoot. See you in 8 to 9 months Pine tree." Bill said as he vanished.
Dipper was freaking out as he woke up from the dreamscape. He hoped what he saw was just a nightmare…However, he looked at his arm and it had bloody cuts that spelled out: "I'll be watching you".
Dipper knew right there and then that Bill did in fact returned and was freaking out. He then looked around for his cell phone and after searching for a few minutes he found it in the couch next to an unconscious Thomson.
Dipper was calling Stan to get help but no one answered. Suddenly he realized that it was 10 o clock and forgot he had to work today and rushed to his car to go to work at the Mystery shack. He texted Pacifica who was still at Wendy's sleeping, that he had to get to work before he was late. He hoped she wouldn't get mad at him as he drove away…
Later on, everyone else was waking up now and were having major hangover headaches except Mabel and Michael since they didn't drink last night.
"Ahhh… My head. I think we've partied too hard last night." Wendy said as she got up from the kitchen table and looked around while holding her head in pain.
"Yeah… My head really hurts." Pacifica said.
"Pacifica…what time is it?" Sarah asked.
Pacifica looked at her phone and was shocked… She was shocked by the time but also because of the text she had on her phone. It reads: "Pacifica, I'm sorry that I didn't wake you up before I left but I had to get to work before Stan chews my ass. I love you and hope you have a great day. –Dipper."
Pacifica read the text and was getting mad as she gripped the phone hard…
"Are you okay cuz?" Michael asked.
"The nerve of that little… He should have woke me up before he left!" Pacifica said as she chucked the cell phone in the couch and Mabel picked it up and read the text herself.
"Well he did apologize Paz. I'm sure he thought of your rest that you needed when he saw you sleeping and didn't want to wake you from it." Mabel said.
"No! It's because now I'm late for work now and he left me here without a ride!" Pacifica said as her face was getting madder by the second.
"Oh shit! What time were we supposed to be at work Pacifica?!" Sarah panicked.
"AN HOUR AGO!" Pacifica shouted.
"SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! Aunt Sasha is going to kill us!" Sarah shouted.
"Will you two quiet down! Damn, it's bad enough I got this damn hangover but you two shouting is really putting gasoline on that fire." Kayla said as she held her head in pain.
"Sorry Kayla. We have to hurry to the restaurant. Michael, could you give us a ride?" Pacifica asked.
"Sure. Let's go." Michael said as he, Mabel, Pacifica, and Sarah left.
15 minutes later at Greasy's Diner…
Greasy's was a mad house as costumers were coming in like crazy. Sarah and Pacifica got dropped off but had to make through the swarm of people to get to the front counter where Sasha was taking orders…
"I need 4 plates of bacon, 6 cups of coffee, and a stack of waffles that is taller than my partner here." Sheriff Bulbs said.
"Coming right up!" Sasha said as she placed another order on the counter in front of the cook Thomas.
"H-Hey Mom." Pacifica sheepishly said.
"Girls! Where have you two been!?" Sasha demanded.
"Sorry Aunt Sasha we got caught up wit-" Sarah said until she was cut off mid-sentence.
"Never mind that. Go to the back and get your uniforms on and start serving tables. We will discuss this later." Sasha said and both girls nodded as they headed to the back room to change into their waitress uniforms…
Meanwhile at the Mystery Shack…
Dipper was grilled by Stan for being late but was given a warning to never be late again or he would get fired. Dipper understood and started working…
Dipper had to take on tour a bunch of old people from the retirement home in town that was chaperoned by the employees. Dipper really didn't like old people on tour because they'd ask him constant questions and it annoyed Dipper to no end. However, since he was still feeling the effects of the hangover, it really bothered Dipper even more…
"And here we have the rock face. The rock that looks like a face." Dipper said.
"Is it a rock?" One of the old ladies asked.
"No, it's a rock that looks like a face." Dipper said.
"Is it a face?" An old man asked.
"Again, it's a rock that looks like face. Not an actual face." Dipper said now feeling his head throbbing with annoyance.
"But is it a face or a rock? I'm confused sonny." Another old man said.
"Okay, moving on." Dipper said trying to move the tour along so he can get through 11 more tours after this one.
Dipper had to deal with all kinds of people from elderly people asking infinite questions to children wanting to touch and play with the mystery exhibits. Dipper was so frustrated and just wanted the day to end…
7 hours later…
"And for our final exhibit, the most mysterious mystery of them all!" Dipper said as he pulled the sheet and revealed a mirror reflecting the costumers which made them laugh.
"That's right folks, we at the mystery shack have fun too. Thus ending our tour, please make your way towards the gift shop and look around for any souvenirs you would like to purchase before you leave. Please note we do not give refunds. Thank you for choosing the Mystery Shack for your tourist travels." Dipper said as the last of the costumers made their way towards the gift shop, where Stan was cashing out all purchases.
Dipper sighed with relief that the day was finally over as he hung up his mystery hat and took off his eye patch. Once the costumers left, Stan closed the door and locked it as he turned the "Open" sign to "Get lost, we're closed" side of the sign.
"Dipper we have to have another talk." Stan said.
Dipper sighed. He assumed that Stan was going to dock his pay because he was late for work. However, a completely different subject was discussed…
"I know Bill is back Dipper." Stan said.
"Wait. You know?!" Dipper asked completely shocked.
"Yes. He came to me this morning, saying that he's back and he's got another plan in motion…" Stan said.
"I know. He came me too and I tried calling you to tell you but no one answered. I figured you were busy but after I came to work, I completely forgot to tell you." Dipper said.
"Listen Dipper… Bill's return is not good. He's escaped his dimension and I don't know what he's going to do. We both got to be sharp and ready for anything that psycho throws at us." Stan said.
"…He told me he was going to possess someone but…" Dipper said until he realized that Stan doesn't know about Mabel's pregnancy.
"But what Dipper?" Stan demanded.
"Promise you won't freak out?" Dipper asked.
"Depends on what you tell me. Now spill kid." Stan said as he crossed his arms.
"Bill is going to possess Mabel's…child." Dipper said now fearing the worse from Stan… However, his fear was unnecessary…
"Well at least we have some time." Stan said.
"Wait. What?! You're not mad or upset that Mabel is pregnant?" Dipper questioned.
"Kid Mabel being pregnant isn't on top of my shocked list. Bill is out there and we have no clue what his plan is. Since Mabel is pregnant, we have 9 months max to figure out his whole plan before she gives birth. Once we figure out his plan, we will put a stop to it and rid ourselves of Bill once and for all." Stan said.
Dipper nodded in agreement…
"By the way, your pay is docked for today." Stan said.
"Aw man!" Dipper whinned.
Back at Greasy's Diner…
The last costumer was finally gone and everyone was able to relax after a long and hard day of work…
"We're finally done!.." Sarah said as she collapsed into one of the booths and laid on the seat.
Pacifica was cleaning up the last of the tables and sat down once she got done…
"I'm glad today is over with too." Pacifica said.
"Not so fast girls. I think now is the time for our talk about being late for work." Sasha said as she walked up to her daughter and niece.
"We're sorry Mom. We didn't plan on being late. We kinda…over slept." Pacifica said.
"Well as punishment, you two have to find me two new employees to clean after costumers and be maintenance clerks for the restaurant." Sasha said and both girls groaned.
"Alright Mom… We'll find two bus boys for you." Pacifica said as she got up and walked into the back room to change back into her old clothes along with Sarah…
"Did you get a lot today?" Sarah asked.
"I got around 86 dollars and change." Pacifica said as she pulled out all her tip money.
"I only got 53 this time." Sarah whined.
"Well we all have our good days and our bad… So, any ideas on who we might ask to see if they want to work here with us?" Pacifica asked.
"Well if we could we would ask our boyfriends but since they have their own jobs I'd think it would be out of the question." Sarah said.
"Not to mention my mom would never allow it." Pacifica said.
"True… So who else?" Sarah asked.
"Hmmm… I think I might know one guy that is willing to work." Pacifica said.
"Who?" Sarah asked.
"You'll see once we meet him at school Monday." Pacifica said with a smile.
TO BE CONTINUED…
AN: A little short but what can you do when school work eats up your time. What do you think might happen? Who is this guy Pacifica has chosen and will he be able to agree to work at the diner? Also, will Bill's plan will be discovered by Dipper and Stan? Will Mabel break the news to her parents about her pregnancy? Find out next time (Whenever that might be) on Returned Feelings. BYE.
