Stanford clapped a smile on his face as he walked up the stairs. Stanley on the other hand was confused, and frowned. "Why the hell did he throw it out the window?" he asked unaware of Dipper's problem he walked upstairs seeing Dippers arms. "y-you? Of all people on this planet you?" Stanley started crying right then, and there he ran away. Stanley ran downstairs, and into the lavatory to hide his tears. Alexis was working down there when Stanley walked down. "What the hell is with you old men, and walking in while I'm busy?" She rolled her eyes trying to carefully mix two blue chemicals together. "What do you want nerd?" she didn't even look at Stanley as she spoke. She was to busy to look away from her work. After a while Stanley still hadn't of answered. "Tell me what you want, or get out. Stanford said you can't be nearby when I'm working with stuff that you can rob a bank with." Alexis poured the last drop into the other beaker.
She looked to see Stanley was crying, and rolled her eye. "Again? Who is the one you're scared for this time?" she groaned slightly. "D-dipper…." Stanley choked on his words. "ugh. You mean the one who fell in love with Bill right?" she set down at Stanford's desk. "ye-yeah." Stanley stuttered tears in his eyes. Alexis took a deep breath, and sat Stanley down at the other desk. "what makes you so scared for him?" Alexis allowed herself to be companionate for the old man when she spoke. "he has these cuts on his a-arms, and he did them on pur-purpose….." Stanley whimpered as his brother's lab assistant groaned. "He has no reason to do that. After everything that happened he is overreacting." Alexis got up from her chair "he lo-loved him. Isn't this a normal reaction?" Stanley looked at Alexis with a small amount of anger in his brown eyes. "There is no way for him to have loved such a monster, and to add on Bill never could feel anything back for him. Bill is a demon, and we all should know demons feel nothing of that sort." Alexis stared at the ceiling for a moment then her gaze back to her hands. "What about you then? Don't you just LOVE living here?" Stanley joked as he whipped his tears. "No! You know you old men need to start cleaning up after yourselves!" Alexis rolled her eye, and giggled a bit. "Besides I wasn't always like this. I get a pass because I was human. Now go upstairs, and talk to Dipper. I'm sure he would rather hear about how great life is rather than the scolding I bet the others are giving him." Alexis smiled hoping Stanley was better, and she had helped as the old man left her alone in the lab. She rolled up her sleeve looking at her freshly cut arm. "You fear for the fool, but not the one beyond help. Okay. I get it mackerel. Take care of your nephew, but when he brings back the dead you better be on my side." Alexis whipped a small tear from her eye "don't cry. You are stronger than them all." She growled at herself. "Stronger than every being in the universe, stronger than your petty tears." Alexis rubbed her nose, and got back to work pulling her lab coat sleeve back down.
