It was the next morning. Dipper had not slept well since he made a deal to save Lynn. Lincoln had tried using his walkie-talkie to contact Dipper.

"Dipper!" He yelled, regardless who was listening, "The hospital just called. Lynn made a full recovery!"

"She did?"

"Yeah! We're going over to see her. If you hurry, you can come with us."

"Okay!" Dipper said as he put the device in his pocket. He rushed out the door, fully dressed. After sprinting for two consecutive minutes, he found himself at the Loud house. "I'm here!" yelled Dipper.

"Hey Dipper!" yelled Lincoln, "Hop on in!" Dipper did as instructed and hopped into their family van.

"Hey Lincoln," said Dipper, "Did they how she made a recovery?"

"Not really," replied the white haired child, "They just said that she can leave the hospital." Dipper started breathing heavily. "Are you okay?"

"It's just..." Dipper's voice trailed off.

"It's okay dude, you can tell me."

"I think Bill had something to do with this."

"Like Bill Cipher?" Dipper nodded in conformation, "He saved my sister?"

"I think so. Yesterday at the hospital he kept going on about her life being in his hands." That was only partially true. Bill never said anything at the hospital. He mentioned it when making the deal with Dipper.

"Should we tell anyone?"

"I think it's okay. She survived and can't be possessed." That was true. However he wasn't certain of anyone else being possessed. In moments, they arrived at the hospital. Their mother signed in and Lynn could be released. She busted out of the doors, happy to see her family. When she saw Dipper, she stopped. She walked up to him, and gave him a hug. She didn't care who saw. She only cared that she got to see him again.

"Um guys," said Leni, "I'm happy that Lynn is safe and all, but I haven't seen William all day."

"That is weird," Lori noticed, "Did you call him?"

"Yeah," said Leni, "But I didn't hear anything back."

"Where would he be?" thought Dipper. He had to be somewhere.

"MAYBE HE MOVED," someone said. The Loud family turned around. "I'M DOCTOR WILL DECRYPTION. I WAS THE ONE TO SAVE THIS GIRL'S LIFE."

"Well thank you Dr. Decryption," said their mom before taking her kids and leaving, "Sorry Dipper, there's no room for you in our van."

"It's okay Mrs. Loud," said Dipper, "I know how to get home from here."

"Well okay. Come on kids," all of the kids but Lynn went with their mother. "Lynn, come on."

"Do you think I could walk home with Dipper?" asked Lynn.

"I guess," her mom said, "Just be back by three, okay?"

"Got it mom," she said. Her family left her with Dipper at the hospital. She turned and looked at Dr. Decryption. "You look familiar."

"JUST BE LUCKY I SAVED YOUR LIFE KID. I COULD EASILY HAVE LET YOU DIE." He said.

"What are you talking about?" Lynn said. "Isn't your job saving people?"

"KID, YOU OBVIOUSLY AREN'T AS SMART AS YOUR BOYFRIEND OVER THERE SO I'M GONNA SPELL IT OUT. I'M BILL CIPHER. I'M ALSO WILLIAM DECODE. NOW I'M DR. WILL DECRYPTION."

"Bill!?" Lynn yelled.

"I ONLY SAVED YOUR LIFE BECAUSE PINE TREE MADE A DEAL. IF I SAVED YOUR LIFE, THEN HE WOULD BE POWERLESS TO STOP ME." Dr. Decryption vanished.

"Dipper!" Lynn sounded angry. They left the hospital. "Why would you make a deal with Bill? Is that a bad thing?"

"I did it to save your life Lynn."

"To heck with my life! That isn't gonna change the fact that you can't do anything to beat this guy now."

"That's true," Dipper said, "But what's stopping me from stopping him?"

"You made that deal, remember?"

"I didn't mean me directly. I just have to find a way to beat him without me actually doing anything." They walked down the streets. Lynn wasn't feeling really competitive or athletic today, so she had no problem taking it slow and just talking to Dipper without coming off as a hyper-competitive sporty super-nut.

"Dipper, have you ever had a crush on someone?"

"Only one person. It didn't work out. She was too old for me."

"Oh."

"Lynn," Dipper said, "I've never felt this way before. I think I'm in love."

"What are you saying?" Lynn squinted and looked away.

"I'm saying that I love you Lynn Loud." They both blushed. "And," he continued, "I would be the happiest person in either dimension to be your boyfriend."

"Dipper," Lynn couldn't formulate words. She couldn't think of a sports analogy. She had to use raw human emotion. "I accept. You can be my boyfriend." They hugged each other. At that moment, everything had stopped. They were the only things on this planet. "I promise, we will find a way to beat Bill."

"Thanks Lynn."
