Summary: A group of aliens invade earth in order to hide from their pursuers. One particular alien gets the hots for Dipper. Bill and Gideon are not pleased.

Pairing: Billdip and Dipeon

October 10 prompt: Alien

Predator and Prey

Dipper's eyes shot wide as the massive UFO descended in front of the Mystery Shack. The ground rumbled as the disk-shaped vehicle landed. Heart hammering, Dipper fumbled to take out his journal from inside his jacket. Were the aliens friendly? And if they weren't, how would he fight them off?

Warmth slipped onto both his shoulders and he eased into the familiar touches as the separate hands massaged his tense muscles.

'Thanks, guys." He murmured to his blond boyfriends.

Bill hummed in response and sidled closer to his side, dropping his hand, while Gideon removed his hand to press his shoulder against Dipper's own. Comforted by their presence, Dipper straightened and tried to relax his stance in hopes he'd appear friendly for the strangers.

A whoosh resounded and part of the UFO slid open to allow a ramp to glide to the grass. Shortly afterwards, what appeared to be humans descended down the ramp. Dipper's eyes widened. Wow. Why did they look like humans? Were the aliens actually long, lost humans that were stranded on another planet? Or could the strangers change their forms like shape-shifters to look like humans in order to blend in? He bounced on his heels slightly, curiosity peaking his excitement.

"Excuse me!" He called and waved with a grin. "Hello! I'm Dipper Pines!"

The first alien that strode down the ramp stared at Dipper for a moment and the brunet stiffened. Had he done something wrong? The alien's ears twitched until the young man-esque stranger cleared his throat.

"Hell-o." The alien greeted and examined Dipper's delighted expression. "Yes, hello, I am using the correct language, correct?"

Dipper nodded, oblivious to the glint in the stranger's eyes as the alien studied him. Bill and Gideon noticed, though, and both blonds grasped Dipper's shoulder once more to stop him from running to the surprisingly attractive alien. Dipper cast them a startled glance but didn't comment.

The stranger sauntered forwards, cocking his head with a coy smile. "You're pretty cute for a human."

Dipper's eyes widened as he blushed. "Th–thank you?"

Remembering his initial task, Dipper wriggled free of the hands on his shoulders and presented his journal. The handsome stranger lifted a brow as Dipper chattered.

"I've never met an alien before and I want to know all I can!" He chirped. "So could you tell me how you travel? Or what's in your space ship? Or how do you live and–"

The stranger looped an arm around Dipper's shoulder, herding him to the UFO. "Why don't I show you?"

"Ohh, no." Bill snarled, a gloved hand snatching Dipper's wrist. "You're not taking my boyfriend anywhere."

"Dipper!" Gideon reprimanded. "He might be trying to kidnap you!"

Dipper brushed the thought away with a laugh. "No one would kidnap–"

Gideon shut him up with a pointed glare.

"Okay, so maybe I've been grabbed by strangers a lot but c'mon! This guy seems nice."

Bill ripped Dipper free from the smug alien's hold and cocooned the brunet with his arms. "That attitude is what gets you kidnapped in the first place. You don't even know this guy's name."

"Ah, you caught me." The alien curled his lips. "But now that I've found such a prize, I'm not going to let it go." He twisted to call to the UFO. "Come on down, friends!"

Dipper paled as realization slapped him upside the head. "Oh, shi–"

More attractive strangers flooded out of the UFO and down the ramp. Bill slung Dipper over his shoulder and sprinted for the Mystery Shack, Gideon hot on his heels. If they could just cross the chalked line surrounding the shack, then they should be safe. But would the protective barrier even be effective against aliens? Then again, the barrier only protected humans and aliens weren't humans, so…

Hoping for the best, Bill just about crossed the line when lightening blasted against his spine and he toppled to the grass, spasming and screaming from the residue electricity. What the hell had the aliens shot him with?

The lead alien shouted. "Do what you want with the yellow-haired humans, but the brown-haired human is mine."

Dipper scrambled to his knees and crawled to Bill's side, panicking. Glancing at the approaching aliens with their weapons drawn, he grasped Bill's twitching arm and tugged the young man closer to the line.

"Gideon!" He yelped. "Gideon, help me! Bill's too heavy!"

The alien's steadily neared when another scream rose and Dipper twisted to see Gideon drop to the ground in a bundle of twitching nerves. His heart hammered and he tugged harder on Bill's bicep but the groaning young man remained impossible to move. Dipper's heart thundered in his ears and tears leaked from the corners of his eyes.

A cold hand grasped his chin and yanked his face upwards. Brown eyes widened as they met the cold gaze of the lead alien's.

"Such a cute little human." The alien purred. "You're the perfect souvenir from earth."

Dipper curled his fists and narrowed his eyes and just as he launched a fist, a whoosh reverberated. Incoherent screams resounded and the alien released him with a swear.

"Damn cops." The alien muttered before switching languages as he shouted at his crew.

The group of aliens rushed into their UFO as a different UFO arrived. The lead alien cast one last glance at Dipper, as if internally debating, before he crouched beside the teen and muttered.

"I'll come back for you, pretty thing. And I will catch you."

And the invading aliens boarded their ship in record time and soon sped off, the second arriving UFO in pursuit. Dipper swallowed and sagged to the ground.

Damn. That was close.
