The two boys sat across from each other at a booth. Around them people were eating and laughing. Dinner was in full swing and Lazy Susan was rushing around from table to table filling orders. Dipper stared at this new form of Bill Cypher in fear and distrust.
"I haven't eaten food in almost two centuries." Bill said softly. Dipper was shocked that he picked up a hint of fear in the tone. But it made sense. Bill went from an all-powerful being to a human child in seconds. This world was nothing like the one he'd known in his first life and watching from a distance isn't the same as living it. Bill must be scared and confused.
"It's not bad" Dipper said. "At least not unless you get the chilly fries." Bill laughed at the disgusted face Dipper made. Dipper smiled when some of the tension in the other human went away.
"What can I get for you boys?" Susan asked standing over their table. Bill looked down at his menu, eyebrows screwed up in confusion.
"There was nothing like this in my day" Bill said absently, fingers fidgeting against the sheet of paper.
"We'll have two deluxe burgers, a large fry, chicken tenders, mashed potatoes and gravy and two large sprites" Dipper said quickly, putting down his own menu.
"Just the two of you?" She asked, staring at them.
"Yes" Dipper said. She nodded, writing the last thing on her small pad of paper and walking back toward the kitchen.
"That's a lot of food right?" Bill asked, genuinely curious.
"I have no idea what you'll like and I don't think Lazy Susan will be happy with you vaporizing her customers out of anger.
"Fair point" Bill said, shrugging his shoulders. "Don't you need money for this kind of thing Pine Tree?" Bill asked.
"Yea" Dipper said, running a hand through the back of his hair. "Gruncle Stan gave me some extra cash."
"That cheapskate?" Bill asked, raising the visible eyebrow. "Why would he give YOU money?" Dipper's cheeks turned pink. Bill tilted his head to the side. He wasn't very good at reading facial cues but a red face normally meant anger or embarrassment. Dipper didn't appear angry so he must be embarrassed. "You're embarrassed" He said, voicing his thought.
"Stan thought I should go out on a date" He said. "I think he wants me away from all of Gravity Falls's weirdness, especially now that his brother is back."
"Is that what this is?" Bill asked.
"No! No, No, NO" Dipper said quickly, waving his hands to prove his point. Bill smiled.
"Good. I don't date humans, not even you Pine Tree." Bill chuckled.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Dipper asked suspiciously. They were interrupted by their food being brought to the table. Bill's stomach made a sound surprising him.
"My innards are making noises" He said in a hurry. "Is this body already broken?"
"You're just hungry" Dipper laughed. "Eat something." Bill stared at the spread before him, biting his lip.
"What is good?" He asked.
"I like burgers" Dipper said, taking a bite out of his own order. Bill copied the motion. Dipper jumped in shock when Bill started to choke.
"You have to chew!" Dipper nearly shouted. Bill began to chew and stopped choking.
"These human bodies are so sensitive." He sighed. Dipper rolled his eyes.
"SO what do you think?" Dipper asked.
"Think of what?" Bill asked.
"The taste" Dipper replied patiently. "How does it taste?"
"Good I think" Bill told him, holding the stack of food up to his eye.
"Maybe try something else" Dipper said slowly. Bill carelessly dropped the burger to the table. Dipper frowned at the mess of meat, cheese, and condiments now in a pile instead of in their bun. Bill grabbed a handful of mashed potatoes and shoved it in his mouth.
"You have to use a fork" Dipper sighed.
"What?" Bill asked, letting uneaten food slide out of his mouth.
"That's disgusting" Dipper stated. "Here, this is a fork" He said handing the other boy the silverware. Bill stared at it before shoving it into his mouth with the rest of his food.
"No!" Dipper hissed. "You don't eat it!" Bill took it out of his mouth. Dipper grabbed a new fork. "You use it like this." Dipper scooped up some mashed potatoes with his fork and brought it to his lips, making sure to show Bill that he pulled the fork back out after putting the food in.
"You sure?" bill asked. "I thought you used forks like this" He responded before thrusting it into his arm.
"That's NOT how you use a fork!" Dipper said, plucking the fork out of Bill's arm. "You're eating everything wrong. Try drinking the soda." Dipper pushed the Sprite over to Bill.
Bill took the Sprite and held it to his eye for examination. With a look of skepticism in his eye, he placed the cup on the table and picked up the fork. He dipped the fork into the soda and tried to drink off of it. "No, Bill" Dipper said with a sigh. "You're supposed to use a straw for liquids." He handed Bill a straw.
"Eating is too complicated." Bill mumbled taking the straw. He dipped the straw into the Sprite and took it back out. "This straw is broken!" Bill said angrily. He glared at the straw and hurled it at the nearest patron.
"NO!" Dipper shouted. "Just eat like I told you. Finish your food so we can leave. People are starting to stare." Dipper glanced around at the other patrons all staring. Dipper pulled his hat down to cover his face. Bill was able to eat the rest without too much of a problem. Dipper was more than happy to drag the new human back out into the street, at least after he showed Bill how to put on a bandage.
"Now that you ate we have to decide what we're going to do" Dipper said. Bill was spinning in circles, following Dipper.
"Can't we just kill him?" Bill asked, sticking out his tongue.
"Don't lick that!" Dipper shouted realizing Bill was about to lick the sidewalk. It was like taking care of a toddler. "You can't come back to the Mystery Shack with me so where are you supposed to stay?" Dipper mused, holding Bill by the collar. "I have to make sure Ford doesn't find you either." He added, stroking his chin.
"Why?" Bill asked, growing serious.
"Because he wants to kill you" Dipper replied.
"I know" Bill said calmly. "Why are you helping me?" Dipper paused. They stood there as Dipper tried to figure out why in the world he was helping someone evil like Bill.
"I don't know" Dipper said. "But don't question it or I might change my mind."
"You won't" bill said, smiling a normal human smile, not that crazed grin. "You're too nice." Dipper frowned.
"Let's just think of a place" Dipper sighed. They continued to walk in the direction of the Shack.
"Wait!" Dipper shouted. Bill tilted his head and looked over at the human. "The bunker" he said. "As long as you don't unfreeze the shape-shifter you'll be able to stay safe and hidden. There are tunnels there and you could hide for weeks.
"I know where it is" Bill responded.
"You do?" Dipper asked.
"I know more about Stanford Pines than you think" he said. "I wonder…." Before Dipper could say anything more Bill vanished in a bright golden light. Dipper sighed and shook his head. He was going to have to face Ford. Dipper put his hands in his pockets and continued his walk. But his fingers skimmed against something that hadn't been there before.
Dipper wrapped his fingers around the small piece of metal and pulled it out. Dipper looked at a small golden wring fixed with a black crystal. Something told Dipper that this was going to protect him both mentally and physically from his new gruncle.
So what do you think?
