It's been a year so far since i've seen Bill. MC keeps telling me he'll come back, but I don't think so.

The whole 'me being in love with a demon' has blown over. At least I can venture into public without being publicly humiliated. I consider that a win.

Honestly, i've been tempted. To date other guys and all. I mean, I don't have trouble with attracting guys, they follow me around everywhere I go.

But, my heart belongs to Bill Cipher, dream demon, and I won't give it to anyone else.

If that doesn't make my life crappy, everyone has forgotten my birthday.

"Happy 16th birthday, Lily." I mutter sarcasticly to myself, while looking in the mirror.

"Don't be that way. Bill will come back, remember? You promised him that you'd see eachother again. And who are we to break a promise?" MC says, walking up behind me.

She's basicly me, but with her hair all black, and a blonde streak where I have my blonde streak. And her outfit is the same as mine (blue hoodie with a black skirt, and black high tops.) except her outfit coordination color is usually red and black.

Oh yeah, I forget to tell you. I was messing with Dipper's Journal one day, when I read this spell, and MC became a real person. So everyone thinks she's my sister, when she's actually my concious. She lives here at the Shack with everyone else.

"I didn't forget your-our-birthday. Happy birthday, Lily." I give her a weak smile. "Happy Birthday, MC." That's the official name we came up with. But no one knows she's actually, well-me!

"It was exactly 3 years ago since i've seen Bill. He hasn't even appeared in my dreams once! I mean, I dream about him, but you know what I me-" "I know what you mean." She chuckles.

"Wait, it was exactly 1 year ago?" She asks. I nod. Her mouth drops. "He left on your birthday!" She announces.

This is the first time I put that in account. "We-well," I feel tears welling up in my eyes. The pain is getting unbearable. "I-I'm going to the Diner, you know, me time." I say, turning around, and walking towards the door.

"I'm going with you." MC says. "No, I want to be alone..." I say, pushing past Dipper and Mabel.

"What's up with her?" Dipper asks MC, as i'm rushing across the front lawn. MC shrugs and tells him "She want's to be alone." No one other than MC still notices that my birthday is today...

About halfway through town, people start getting out of their house to do errands. I just sigh.

Before I go to the Diner, I stop at the book store and buy the book, 'Romeo and Juliet'. Memories...

Now my next stop is... The Diner. On the way there, I read my book and walk. (Like those nerds you see at school.)

I get to the outside of Greasy's Diner, and I get a big whiff of apple pie. I might just get a slice of pie. I'm not that hungry anyways...

I slip a bookmark in my book, and close it. Then I take the table booth in the far left corner. Lazy Susan comes over and asks what I want. "A slice of apple pie please." I say. She writes it down in her notes and walks off.

I pick up my book and continue reading. "Romeo, oh Romeo-" Lazy Susan brings my pie over. "Thanks." I smile. She lays down the bill, and walks off.

$1.99

I can pay that. I lay down a 5 dollar bill.

I put the bookmark in my book once again and lay it down. I take my fork and stuff a big bite of pie onto it.

I continue eating the savory delicacy. It's been forever since i've had pie.

Once I finish my treat, I pick up my book, and leave. "Thanks, Susan." I smile at her.

I go to circle park, and I climb the ladder on the, now repaired, water tower. I lean back against it and read. About 3 chapters later, I decide to put my book down, and basicly watch.

I see Robbie beating up this little kid off in the distance. Not Dipper for once.

I expect MC's voice to start talking with me. But since she's out of my head... It's kinda weird not having an actual concious that is in your head. Since I don't have one, I can make all the decisions I want, without thinking twice about them.

And I see... Who is that? A dark figure slips into an alley way.

My snoopy side takes control. I grab my book, and climb down the ladder. I run over to the alley way, careful that I don't alert the figure.

They cautiously look around, and I duck behind

a-conviently placed-dumpster. When the person is sure no one is around, they walk through a door.

I gulp, and follow them in.

I trip on a shoe lace, and fall on my face.

"OOF!" I grumble.

The person snaps around, and I look at their face. It's covered by the cloak they are wearing.

Who is it anyway?

"Lily?!" They pull the cloak off. I gasp.

"BILL?!"

Dun dun dun! PM me or not if I should do a sequel. Oh, just in case you are one of Spring Pine's readers, she's busy with "performing arts" as she puts it. Whatever.

REMEMBER! REALITY IS AN ILLUSION, THE UNIVERSE IS A HOLOGRAM, BUY GOLD, BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! (I just had too.) :)
