Third POV
Dipper adjusts the hat on his head as he walks through some thick shrubbery, searching for a specific tree deep in the forest of Gravity falls. The hat was almost a gift of sorts from great uncle Stanford who, after the Gnome incident allowed him and Mabel to choose something from the mystery shack. Mabel had chosen a grappling hook, and he had chosen a white hat with a blue pinetree on it, quite similar to his journals really, but back to the tree.
The tree carried a very special and rare demonic fruit that gave the person who ate it a completely random ability, the ability could be a skill, or a magical power. The reason it was so special was because no matter how many of the fruits you ate, there was always a new ability to be had, the reason it was so rare was because it only grew in Gravity falls, and also only produced fruit once every fifteen years, on the night of the new moon in complete darkness. The fruit would die once the first rays of sunlight touched the tree, the reason he was searching for this tree was because Bill wanted him to have a few extra abilities to protect himself if something happened in the future.
"So, what kind of abilities will I get from these fruits anyway?" "All kinds of stuff! From things like cooking and musical talent, to things like laser vision and flying! It's great isn't it!?" "I suppose so... It does sound interesting." "Yup! Real interesting!"
They continue walking for a few more minutes, before Dipper hears Mabel from somewhere far away, "Dipper! Where are you!? It's time to eat dinner!" "I will be there soon!" "Okay, but hurry up or we'll eat without you!"
"I guess we'll continue looking another time, we still have three weeks until the new moon anyway." Dipper says nothing and pushes his glasses back up the bridge of his nose as he turns to walk back to the mystery shack, with Bill floating by his side unseen by others. 'Like always.' As Dipper thinks back on it, he realizes something 'He has not left my side even once since we arrived in Gravity falls... Well I feel warm and fuzzy now.'
'I wonder what he's thinking? I mean, I could just read his mind, but I don't really want to do that right now, he looks like he just needs to think privately for now...'
They continue walking back in a comfortable silence, not really wanting to break it, They soon arrive at the mystery shack, Bill goes up to the attic while Dipper heads to the kitchen to eat dinner, seeing that they had in fact started to eat without him. He goes upstairs to talk to Bill after eating, as great uncle Stanford was taking a nap, and Mabel had gone to do whatever it was that she did with Candy and Grenda.
As Dipper enters the attic, he is greeted by the sight of a human Bill reading Dippers very first journal, although he wasn't sure why, as the dream demon had already read it once before.
"Hey Pinetree! Just in time, I wanted to tell you how Stanford isn't Stanford! "What?" He asks, a bit confused "Yeah! He's really your great uncle Stanley, not Stanford." "I am sure you will understand if I say that I am still confused." He says blankly, wondering where Bill was going with this. "Right, let me explain it in excruciating detail!
A few minutes later, after Bill explains his history with Stanford Pines
"And you did not tell me this before, why?" "I kinda forgot that you didn't know..." "I see..." "Yup! Just remembered today! So I decided to tell you!" "Oh, alright then." "you're not shocked or anything?" "Not really." "Oh, well that's great then!" "I suppose it is..."
Dipper walks over to the bookshelf next to his desk and chooses a book he hasn't read yet, and lays down on his bed to read it, Bill lays down on his stomach next to him and asks "What are you reading Pinetree?" "A book about vampires I think." "Is it good?" "probably not." "Ah okay..."
They spend the next few hours doing talking and reading, and Bill decides as he watches Dippers sleeping face, it was a good day, despite nothing really interesting happening.
Authors note
Hey guys, another short chapter, I tried to make it longer but I could not think of much. Any ideas on what to name the tree? Because I have no idea at all.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, if not... I am sorry for terrible writing.
Please tell me if you see any mistakes, so that I may fix them, thanks!
