The three spent an hour or two on fighting techniques before getting to work in the Shack. To make up for money lost, Bill decided to throw a party at the Enigma Shanty. Which excited Dipper, as he had to work the ticket stand with Wendy, "You're gonna have to print out some fliers..."

Soos gasped, "Calendars, mugs, t-shirts, and more they go ti t all at the copier store.. that's not their slogan i just really feel that way about the copier store."

Mabel and Dipper chuckled, Bill rolled his eyes, "Actually there's an old printer in my office... why don't you try and fix it up." He shrugged.

The twins smiled, "Yeah Soos, we'll help." They followed him. Dipper and Mabel looked curiously in Bill's office. They knew this room wasn't exactly off limits. But they never had the courage to go inside.

A few deer heads were plastered on the wall, like some of the rest in the Shanty. Dipper wasn't sure why Bill had such an obsession with deer, he found it strange.

They fixed up the copier machine with some duct tape, horrifyingly finding out it copies human beings. The next thing Dipper knew, he was getting ready for the dance. Butterflies in his stomach as he thought of Wendy. He had devised a plan, which went awry. But Dipper solved that by making clones. He was just going to ask her to dance, when Bill entered. Beating his clones that were going to confront him to it, "Hey Pine Tree, I need you to come with me."

Dipper blinked, "N-no way.. I almost have this.." But it was too late, Bill took his arm, "w-where are we g-going?" He bit his lip hard. Dipper didn't even get to say goodbye to Mabel. Dipper was in panic as Bill was pulling him to his room. The forbidden room that he had never seen the inside of. He yelped as he was pushed inside, locked in, "h-hey... l-let me out.."

"Not until I get rid of those pesky clones you decided to make." Bill hissed.

Dipper whimpered and slid to the ground, this was for his protection.. right? He slowly, looked behind him. The boy let out a loud sigh of relief, it was just a room. There weren't any bodies at least... candles around the room, the triangular symbol from the journal. He stood up, the only thing that scared him was a triangle drawn in blood on his comforter, and what from it looked like, several torture devices. Not for us.. not for us.. he repeated in his head.

Dipper laid on the floor, staring at the ceiling. For after what it seemed like eternity, Bill unlocked the door, "Doing good Pine Tree? You can come out now, splashed them suckers with water."

The boy sighed and frowned, getting up and leaving the room. The party was basically over, Wendy was with Robbie, but hey at least Mabel made some friends. Dipper accomplished nothing but being locked in a room.

The next day came, all eating breakfast, but Bill being more happy than usual, "It's Pioneer day today, so we're dressing up and going in town."

Mabel tilted her head, "Pioneer day?"

"Mmhmm, it's to celebrate the day Gravity Falls was founded... I remember like it was yesterday." Bill smiled, looking away as if reminiscing.

That made Dipper wonder how old he really was, "Oh... well it sounds fun." He smiled

The three got ready, Bill for some reason already having prepared appropriate outfits for the occasion. Accurate ones, taking it was from someone who was there at the time.

Once they got into town, Dipper and Mabel decided to do their own thing. Bill walked around town.. soaking in the olden times. When he came across the stocks, where Gideon was. He laughed... and laughed... and laughed, "How'd you end up in those Star?"

Gideon growled, "I tried throwin' a tomato at ya earlier but some dirty glass got in the way and broke." He huffed

Bill laughed some more, wiping a tear from his eye, "That's great... well see you around then..." He happily went about the day, eating some old timey butterscotch, as he saw Mabel was eating some earlier.

The day went on, and went into the end of the day. Dipper and Mabel sleeping in the back of the car from a long day. Bill smiled at that, carrying Mabel up to the room, then Dipper, "Sweet dreams.." He whispered to them, before turning off the light and closing the door ever so carefully.

The next day was the start of building the Enigma Shanty fair, which would open at the end of the week. Dipper and Mabel were excited, especially since Wendy said she'd go with Dipper. Now was a perfect chance to spend time with her, maybe even tell her how he feels.

After a long day of work, Wendy, and Soos, joined to watch some TV. Then once night began to fall, it was down to the three, "So... who wants to watch a scary movie?" Bill asked with a wide grin.

Mabel shrugged and smiled, "Sure!" She had gotten used to basic gore, it made her squeamish still, but she was getting there.

Dipper shrugged, "I-i don't mind." Dipper didn't really like spending time with Bill anymore. He had a burning feeling of hate and fear in his gut whenever he was around. Bill put on The Awakening. Which wasn't too bad to Dipper and Mabel's surprise. Both enjoyed the movie unlike they usually do, it had scares, but a good plot. Both found themselves smiling at the screen at some points.

"Alright, off to bed you two." Bill chuckled and smiled, kissing the top of their heads, "we've got a busy day tomorrow." Bill stood up, entering his room. Dipper furrowed his eyebrows when Bill kissed his head. He took it as him trying to act more human, but it was still strange.

Mabel rubbed the top of her head after Bill's gesture, both going upstairs as they were told, "Night bro bro..."

Dipper smiled and sighed, "Night Mabes.."
