"Why fishing Gother Bill?" Mabel asked, tilting her head, taking a bite of pancakes.
Bill tapped a finger an his chin and shrugged, "Is there something else you'd rather do?"
Dipper looked hopeful, "How about that, monster hunting thing?" He asked, smiling
Bill rolled his eyes, "I don't know... only if something comes up alright? Only if danger finds us." He nodded, looking them in the eyes. He handed Dipper a disposable camera.
Dipper nodded, grinning, it was good to know he wasn't crazy, that he wasn't the only one that noticed strange things in the town, "Awesome..." He looked away, and began to wonder who the author of the journals was. He looked to Bill, what if it was him? He was pretty mysterious, lived in the woods, was pretty smart, he seemed to be old enough? Maybe.. but he'd have to test him.
Mabel finished her food, "Alright I'm good to go. We're not gonna kill the fish.. are we?" She frowned
Bill patted the girls head, "You don't have to.." He smiled, still implying he was going to.
She furrowed her eyebrows at the hair touching, reaching her hands up to fix it, "Ready bro bro?" Mabel asked.
Dipper held up a finger, finishing his milk, "I'm ready." He stood up.
Bill grinned, "Alright, go hop into the car, I've got everything ready already." He pushed the twins gently out the door, following behind, "before you get in, put on these blindfolds.." He held them out to the twins
Both of them looked at each other, they took them, "W-why...?" Dipper asked nervously, Bill's grin stabbing him in the chest.
He hummed happily, "It'll make it more fun on the way. Trust me. How can I kidnap you if you already temporarily live with me..." Bill leaned closer to them, his eyes wide before laughing.
Mabel and Dipper looked terrified, both anxiously putting on the blind folds and getting into the car. Dipper held Mabel's hand, "I'm not ready to die Mabel.." He mumbled
Mabel patted his shoulder, "Neither am I.." She held his hand tighter.
Bill laughed lightly at them while he drove, "Relax... jeez louise.." He sighed, they finally arrived at the lake, "you can take them off now, "tadaa, we have the whole lake to ourselves. Everyone was out here yesterday, now we don't have to deal with all that people traffic." He nodded, untying a nearby wooden motor boat. Much more stable than the Stan'owar that was across from it.
Dipper got in the boat with Mabel, great. Alone at lake Gravity Falls. Sure, of course he wasn't going to murder or drown you. Bill put to hats on their heads, they read, 'Dippy' and 'Mabel'. They were written in something red, "What is this.." He asked, biting hard on his lip.
Bill smiled wide, excited he asked, he showed Dipper a cut on his arm, "I wrote it in my blood, aren't they great?"
Mabel grimaced, dropping the hat on the boat floor, "Ugh Gother Bill, that's disgusting!" She whined, burying her head into Dipper's shoulder.
Dipper scowled, just staring at the stain in the hat, "What's... wrong with you?" He asked, looking up at Bill.
The grin on Bill's face turned into a frown, "What so I'm a gore freak, it's fake blood silly, this is from messing up cutting ring bologna." He lied.
The twins sighed in relief, "I hate you Gother Bill! You s-scare me.." Mabel frowned, taking in a deep breath, "why do you insist on scaring us... yet you talk about us having to stay away from stuff that'll hurt us when you're hurting us."
Bill's eyes widened at Mabel's words, silence fell on the boat, nothing to be heard but water, "Oh.. I see..." He looked down, a frown on his face, "I guess now I understand why people don't want to be around me... I thought we were just joking around. But you're genuinely scared of me?" He chuckled in disbelief.
Dipper bit his lip, glancing at Mabel, "Well I don't know.. you do live in the woods, laugh at horror movies, and do a lot of gross things... I think I found a jar of... animal teeth yesterday.." He shuddered, hoping the moment would soon pass.
Mabel had calmed down, "So you were just looking for people to spend time with huh? Well if you lay low on the scaring I'll definitely spend time with you... just don't do the scary stuff around us please."
Bill laughed lightly, ruffling her hair, "Alright Shooting Star I'll try my best. Let's do some fishing."
The three seemed to have a blast beyond then, taking pictures with the camera Bill handed to Dipper. They felt a bump of water underneath them "What was that?" Dipper asked.
Bill shrugged, "No idea.. I'd call that a day." He lied about the water and smiled. The three heading home after the long day. Bill wanted to make sure Dipper and Mabel avoided the paranormal at all costs...
It was for their own good, well that was a lie. It was for Bill's own good. This way... when the portal opened he everything would be set perfectly. There was no way his plan could fail. Bill spent the evening tending to the fish, cooking it up for dinner.
Which Dipper and Mabel thought was delightful, "This was great Gother Bill... I'm sorry I said I hated you earlier. You're the best God Father ever." She gave a toothy smile, fish stuck in her braces.
Bill laughed, "I'm glad you feel that way.. I haven't had that much fun with other human beings in a while... what do you guys say we sit down and watch a movie, you guys get to pick this time. The three person family sat on the couch, Mabel popped in dream boy high. Dipper and Bill looked at each other in horror. They could survive this.
An hour and a half passed, Bill and Dipper clinging to each other for dear life when the credits rolled, sighing in relief, "Thank goodness it's over." Dipper sighed, looking at the nearby window, the sun was down.
Bill stood up and stretched, "Off to bed you two." He shoved them off, they fell asleep easily that night.
