Dipper Finally made his way back to the mystery shack, still in disbelief of what happened that afternoon. When Dipper walked into the room, he saw Mable sitting on the floor with waddles, playing some sort of pig patty cake. When Mable looked up, she saw Dipper and her smile started to fade.
"Hey Mable, what's wrong?" Dipper asked, getting concerned.
"Nothing, just, thinking about what happened earlier, but everything is fine now." Mable said, looking back at Waddles.
"If you say so." Dipper said, sitting down on the arm chair.
Dipper pulled out journal 3 and started to look through it, clearing his mind of the horrors he saw from Bill. It wasn't that bad, but he had a feeling it would turn out worse than from what he saw. He started to get completely engrossed in his book, that his mind was almost clear of the outside world. Almost. He looked over his shoulder to see her sister giggling and laughing non-stop.
"What up with you?" Dipper said, an edge to his voice.
"It's this episode of Ducktective I am watching. Hilarious." Mable said.
"Could you turn it off please, I am trying to read." Dipper said, looking back at his book.
"But it is a new episode, and you can just go upstairs and read." Mable said, turning back towards the TV.
By now, Dipper was clenching the book in frustration, almost ripping some of the pages.
"Seriously Mable. I have had a long day I would love to read in peace." Dipper said, raising his voice.
"Come on Dipper. I think you can handle going up a few steps to read a book." Mable said, turning the up the volume of the TV.
"Mable, I swear." Dipper said, raising his book to the air "I, I don't know what to do with you." Dipper felt this tingle in his stomach, this horrible yet amazing feeling.
Dipper looked down, and realized his sister was stricken with fear. Realization hit him, and he ran to their room, without another word.
"She, she was a-afraid, o-of m-me." Dipper stuttered.
'The second phase.' Dipper thought.
"Well, looks like Pine tree is ready for a deal." Dipper heard.
"Bill, just go away." Dipper said.
"Oh come on Pine tree, you're ready to make that deal, I know it." Bill said, appearing next to Dipper, taking his chin in his hand.
"I-I…" Dipper stuttered.
"Come on, just take my hand and make a deal." Bill said, extending his hand to Dipper.
"No!" Dipper yelled, slamming his hand down onto the table.
"This is what I mean pine tree. You are so aggressive. Even towards a dream demon like myself" Bill stated.
Dipper looked up at Bill, who was holding his hand out. Dipper, yet again was hesitant, but he knew, knew that this was best, best for Mable, Stan, everyone. Dipper placed his hand in Bills, excepting the offer.
"Deal."
"Deal." Bill said, an evil look in his eye.
