Why are you taking strange?" The author asked
Dipper sighed. He was foolish to think no one was gonna get suspicious of his accent. Sure, Stan was stupid and Mabel was a little more then naive in this world, but this was the author. He was clearly clever and would notice if his speech patterns suddenly changed. Dipper could not let anything give himself away, even if he had to give up his glorious accent.
"I have been practicing," Dipper lied in his best attempt to speak without his accent "I thought it would help me get girls. Now that I think about it, it was not the best plan"
The author looked at him suspiciously for a few a seconds before laughing. "I don't think so, but it's quite impressive. How long have you been working on it?"
"All summer." He looked at the amount of papers spread across the table. His eyes instantly went to the journal with a huge four across the golden hand. He licked his lips, the knowledge, the power.
With enough power both his sister and himself to finny take over their world, perhaps even both universes. He would be able to protect both his sisters. Sure, eventfully he would have to kill off the author and Stan, but that should not be a problem once he was strong enough. Plus, he would have to deal with that pesky demon, Bill.
"Look Dipper, I have been thinking." He said, interrupting his thoughts
It took every once of will power Dipper had to tear his eyes away from the journal. "Yes?"
Ford took a deep breath. "You are a very intelligent young man and I would be honored if you would help me write this next journal."
"Really?" Dipper asked excitedly.
"Of course." He replied
He was going to be working on the next journal with the author. He was literally accomplishing his dream. To be able to work next to the greatest mind in this world. Sure, taking over the world could wait awhile. Oh, that twerp Gideon was going to be so jealous.
….
"Are you sure you have to go." Dipper whined.
He really liked spending time with his older sister. She had spent the morning showing him magic tricks from her show. It was way more impressive then Gideon's lame tricks. After a few minutes of begging she eventfully let him try a few tricks with the amulet. He was not very good, he could hardly lift a can off the table. Yet, it was still very fun to play with magic. Yet, after a few hours Mabel said she had to go to some autograph session in town.
Mabel ruffled his hair. "You are so cute when you whine like that."
He blushed in response "I am not cute!"
She crossed her arms. "What are you then?"
"…. Manly."
To his embarrassment, Mabel burst out laughing. Dipper blushed even harder. It was so unfair. He hated life as she ruffled his hair.
"Not quite yet," she chuckled, "but give it a few years and I bet you will get all the ladies will be after you."
"Wait really?" he asked hopefully. He had always hoped that Puberty would do good things to his looks. Maybe in a few years Wendy might even like him!
"Yes, but I really need to go. The town people will get suspicious if I don't show. I am a star after all." She said "You can stay here with Will. I already told you town was too dangerous for you to walk around in."
Dipper frowned. He really did love and trust his sister, but he was unsure how he felt about spending the afternoon with a demon. Even if Mabel did say Will was harmless. Still, his sister knew best and if she thought it was a good idea for him to stay at the mansion, then so be it. Perhaps it would not be too mad.
"Do you think Will would answer some of my questions about demons?" Dipper asked hopefully.
Mabel smiled, "I don't think he would have a problem with that. Do you Will?"
Will who was standing in the background jumped. "Yes, Mistress. I-I mean no Mistress."
