Bill almost got Dipper to release him but at that moment he woke up to see Mabel and Ford. Both sleeping Ford at his desk, and Mabel, right next to Dipper, he had no recollection of the dream he had just endured. The computer was finished collecting the data from his head. But he still felt uneasy. He knew something bad was about to happen. He just couldn't figure out what it was. He slowly removed Mabel's arms from his lap and began to stand up. As he started to walk over to fords desk he felt weak. He could barely stand. Then all of a sudden he felt like he was perfectly fine. "maybe just jelly legs from the nap." he whispered to himself in reassurance. He made his way to Ford on his desk and shook him awake. "huh, what?" Ford bursted. "Dipper? What time is it?" he asked annoyed. "no idea, but I wanted to let you know the computer is done." he told him. "oh, okay then..." he said. ' well it should take some time to get the results, why don't you go and do something else in the meantime." he said. "like what?" Dipper asked. "oh I don't care kid, just go and have some time to yourself." he said while walking to the small case behind the mind reading device. Dipper decided to first pick up Mabel and bring her to bed. "poor thing, she must be exhausted." he said to himself. He grabbed her by the waist and threw her into his arms. Now holding her kike a baby he made his way to the elevator and pressed the button to go upstairs. As he walked to the end of the gift shop he looked up the narrow stair, he tried to devise a plan that could get him, and her up the stairs without her waking up… "but how?" he asked himself, he just decided to walk up the stairs as slow as possible, he made his way slowly up the stairs avoiding all of the bumps and nooks, he had finally made his way to the bedroom door. Here poses another dilemma, how was he suppose to open the door while both of his hand were making sure that Mabel stayed in place. He used the bottom portion of his foot to open the door. He had finally put Mabel down on her bed and made his way out the front door. It was early morning, maybe about 5:30-6:00, but it was a beautiful day. And he had it to himself. Not many people were awake yet, only people getting ready to open up shops and stuff like that. He was headed in a random direction, the first notable thing he sees is a tall red haired girl with a tattered flannel shirt on. "Wendy." he said almost directly behind her. She turned around and almost immediately hugged him. " oh my god Dipper, I thought you erased your memories." she said "me to." he said under his breath. "oh my god dude we need to spend some time together." she said in a very excited tone. The started walking up to the edge of the cliff, the cliff where you can view the crater where the alien ship crashed. When they made it they sat down in the grass with a can of pit cola. "so Dipper, what's the word. What's been going on I haven't seen you in a few days." she said a little worried. "well, I woke up in the bed in out secret room and was very confused. The last thing I remember was me pulling the trigger on the memory gun. I should have been erased. Along with all my memories and Bill." he said truthfully, not trying to hide anything from her, "well, what about you?" he asked. "well, not much honestly. When Bill was erased the whole town went back to normal. I got the past few days of work off because of school and rehabilitation. But besides that not much." she had told him as truthful as possible. "Is it weird to go back to normal like this, and just pretend nothing happened?" he asked confused. "well I think normal went out the door when a demon from outer space came and started shifting the world, but we agreed to not talk about it and move on." she explained to him. "anyway, when are you heading back home?" she asked trying to change the subject. "what do you mean 'head back home'?" he asked confused. "well summer ended a few days ago and school started, aren't you going home soon?" she asked also confused now. Dipper let out a sarcastic laugh. "I can't go home like this." he explained "I'm going to stay here and train with ford." he said. "well what about Mabel?" she asked concerning. "she'll understand, she is a big girl." he said in a snarky tone. "wasn't this whole war over you wanting to stay?" she asked. "well yeah, but now things are different, I can't go home like this." he said vaguely avoiding the question. "well I think

you should return home with Mabel and have a nice calm life, after what you've been through you deserve it." she said trying to convince him. "well that can't happen now." he accidentally blurted out. "why not?" she asked suspiciously. Dipper tried to avoid the question. "look at the lake, doesn't it just glow?" he said trying to evade the question. "Dipper?" she said trying to keep him on track. "it's just beautiful." He said once again trying to avoid the question. "tell me what wrong Dipper!" she said in an angered tone. He sat up and started rambling on about the lakes natural hot springs. "Dipper Pines I swear to god tell me what's going on or I'll punch you back into a comma." He felt as if she would never give up. He was not going to drag her into this by getting her involved with Bill. "Wendy, can you trust that if I could tell you I would, you are my friend. I would let you know anything that wouldn't put you in harms way." he said very seriously. "okay Dipper, I trust you." Wendy said. 'but if it turns out you just don't want to tell me you are gonna get it." they both shared a laugh and then decided to head out. "well Wendy." he said. "see ya around." he waved her goodbye. "don't be a stranger Pines" she also waved him goodbye and they went their separate ways. He started heading back to the shack, it was around early evening. Still early but he had stuff to do. As he was walking he noticed the minimal damage done to the town from the weirdmageddon. It was strange that after all that everything was just… OK.
