I wake up, wondering where in the world I am.

I sit up on a dusty old couch. Oh yeah, the deal with Spring- DAMMIT! I HAVE TO GET HOME NOW! I'LL BE LUCKY IF THEY HAVEN'T SENT OUT ANY SEARCH PARTIES!


I run through the front door, looking for anyone to tell i'm okay. The first person I see is Spring.

"Spring!" I say. Her head snaps around and she gasps. "LILY! NEVER DO THAT TO ME AGAIN! YOU HEAR ME?" She scolds, she shakes me by the shoulders. I nod, like a little kid who just broke a vase and doesn't get dessert that night.

"I got a boyfriend." I tell her. She let's go and stares me in the eye. I shift uncomfortably.

"Don't lie." She says. "NO, seriously! We're going to meet him at the Diner. At 7:45, for dinner." I say.

"It's 7:30 now." Spring says, pointing to a clock.

"Let's get Stan, and the twins." She says. "I want to meet this boyfriend of yours."

The entire car ride to the Diner, I was a nervous wreck. Once we got to the Diner, I was skimming the customers face's for Bill.

I finally spotted him, and he waved us over. On our way over to the table, Spring whispered in my ear, "He's cute." and "Let's just see how he acts."

Probably to make me nervous. And if that was what she was going for, it worked.

I sat next to Bill, and everyone else sat across from us.

Dipper was looking at Bill strangely, and giving him dirty looks. Bill doing the same to him. Except Bill was glaring at Spring too.

Bill ordered nachoes for everyone, and then Grunkle Stan and Spring started the interrogation.

Grunkle Stan: Plans for the future?

Groaning, I dropped my head in my hands. This had better not end how I think it's going to end!

Bill: College, law enforcement.

Spring: I like this kid!

Grunkle Stan: Good. That's good. Now finish this sentence for me. When a girl says no, she means...

Bill: No. Don't push for more.

I thought I detected a little smirk on his face.

Spring: Another good answer. But here's a tougher one to answer. Premarital sex is...

Dipper and Mabel plugged their ears at the word 'Premarital sex'.

I should've never come home.

Bill: Up to the couple. What happens between them is no one else's business.

Grunkle Stan blustered over that one, and Spring started mumbling.

Grunkle Stan: That's fair enough. So how do you feel about drinking and driving?

Bill: I think it's stupid. I never drink. And if she does, i'll bring her straight home.

"I won't be drinking either." I say. "Promise."

Spring (acting like my Grandma): Aren't you just a breath of fresh air?

Grunkle Stan: He is, he is indeed.

Our meal came, and Bill paid and we all ate. Afterwards I left with him.

"Well, I guess this is it.." Bill murmers. I frown. "Thanks for helping me with that whole fiasco." I smile softly, the moonlight enhancing my features a little bit. We sit down on a park bench, underneath of a weeping willow.

Since it's daylight savings time, the moon comes out around 7:00.

"It's around 8:30, and Grunkle Stan said be home by then-so I should probably get going..." I mumble to him. He nods sadly.

"I guess it's bye then." We mumble to eachother. We stand up, and stare awkwardly at eachother.

"B-Bye." I stutter, and turn around and leave. I turn my head around and Bill's just standing there looking at me sadly.

There's something so familiar about him, though... I think to myself.

"Because maybe he reminds you of that demon triangle you met when you were 5?!" My concious starts up an argument with me.

It couldn't be him though. He left when I was 7, after I met Spring. We became best friends.

"Why do you think he was glaring at Spring then?" My concious asks, with a sly grin spreading across her face. (Which is totally invisible! Mind you,)

I told you! It's not Bill Cipher! He's long gone!

"Lily, i'm you, so I know when you're lying to yourself." She argues.

Even if it was Bill, he never had romantic feelings for me.

"You just keep telling yourself that." She replies snidely.

Will you shut up, if I go ask him? I'll drink 4-no, 5! Mega shots of MabelJuice if it's him.

"DEAL!" She grins.

What have I done to start talking to myself?

"Hey, just go ask him. I know it's Bill Cipher. Which sorta surprises me since i'm you, and you don't know. Just GO already!"

She mentally pushes me toward him.

No,no! Stop it! I changed my mind!

"Too late!" She hisses.

Indeed, it is too late. I'm already halfway there.

"Hey Bill?" I say. He turns around by the sound of his name. "Yeah? I thought you were going home." He says.

"I was, but someone stopped me. I was just wondering, are you by any chance Bill Cipher?" I mutter the last part. He just stares at me.

"Forget it. I knew it was a stupid question."

Told you!

"Wait..." She instructs.

A small smile spreads across his face. "So, you remember me, eh?"

WHAT?! IT'S HIM?

"HAHA! TOLD YOU! The MabelJuice is at the Shack." She mocks.


Sorry guys, i've been hanging out with Spring Pines lately and we've been going to concerts and other girly things, don't know why i'm telling you this though...
