I wake up by being shook by my shoulders. "What?! I was having a dream where we were getting marrie-" my ears start turning red.
"They're coming! Come on!" Bill takes my hand and tries pulling me, like a little kid wanting his mom to look at a certain toy.
"What?! Dammit!" I curse. I scramble up and run off. Making sure Bill is following me. "Duck!" I whisper-shout. We duck behind a big rock that's covered in moss.
"I just heard them!" Mabel's voice says.
"They probably heard us too, let's go." Dipper says, just loud enough for me to hear him.
"This is a very un-Lily like thing for her to do."
"I told you, Bill probably brainwashed her! I can't believe I didn't realize it was Bill Cipher. I totally wouldn't of let her date him. if I knew." Spring mumbles sadly.
(A/N To add effect, listen to Total Eclipse of The Heart. It's the perfect song for this next part.)
Love of my life, or my family?
"It's your decision..." MC says quietly.
I bite my lip.
I look longingly at Bill. He turns his head and catches me glimpsing at him.
When he realizes the look in my eyes, his expression turns to pleading.
"Please don't." He quietly pleads. He hugs me, and cries silently.
"Hey, it's alright. We'll see each other again." I squeak.
"It'll be the 9 years all over again! And there is no way your family would let you even go outside." He sobs, with silent tears.
"You're a dream demon, can't you visit me in my mind?" I ask.
"It's not the same." He sniffles. "At all."
Meaning that he hates being a dream demon.
"Hey. Hey, Bill. We'll see each other again soon." I plant a kiss on his lips and hug him. "I love you." I whisper. "I love you, too." He whispers.
I wipe the tears off his face. "Shh. Shh. It'll be alright. I might just sneak out at night to see you." I blink away tears.
Then I get an idea. I wink at him.
"Why would you say that?!" I yell at him, while standing up, totally giving away our position. A look of confusion spreads across the demon's face. I raise my eyebrows and he nods, signaling that he understand's what we're doing
"Lily, look! It's either me, or your family! Who's it going to be?" Bill says, crossing his arms.
I pretend to gasp. "My family! How could you be so selfish?! It's not my fault you don't have a family, and your a cold heartless jerk!" His faces flashes hurt. And for a second, I think I might've actually hurt his feelings.
We've definately caught everyone else's attention.
"I-I don't think this will work out. I poured my heart out to you, and you smashed it. Goodbye." He says quickly, and turns his back and walks away. Very fast.
I drop to the ground, and let everyone come flood me with questions. I start picking at one of the red ruffles on my dress, while looking at the ground.
"What was that?"
"Are you two seriously over?"
"Did he brainwash you, and you somehow snapped out of it?"
I'm not really paying attention to what anyone is saying. I'm thinking about Operation Romeo and Juliet. or ORJ for short.
"That was kinda cheesy." MC says.
Yeah, I just can't believe they bought it.
"Don't forget, you have to pretend to hate that 'heartless jerk' if you don't they'll know something's up." MC warns.
Don't remind me. I'm just debating whether I should sneak out or not.
"This love affair is getting really interesting! Just don't keel over before you get caught a second time. I wanna see how this ends."
