Bill and Dipper sat peacefully in the library. Bill had a pile of books right in front of him of course and Dipper had just two books. They were both on "mythical" creatures found around Gravity Falls. Bill was reading all different types of books. Between Fiction and non-fiction, there was a huge pile on the table thanks to him. Every now and then he would run around and bring a book back and more likely than not put it in the wrong place.
"Hey, Dipper? Why do are most of these books look to be in the wrong place?" Dipper looked up and saw the mess Bill was causing.
"Uh, Bill. You do realize that the library is organized to a specific order... Right?" Bill tilted his head and realization hit like a truck.
"Oh. Um..." Bill grabbed books and put them back down on the table. He stacked all the books he had taken from earlier and tried to figure out where they went. Dipper, instead of helping him had decided to watch him struggle for a while. Bill eventually had found where they belong by the stickers on the spine of the books.
"So how long are we going to stay here exactly?" Bill asked Dipper. The brown haired boy looked up. He looked super tired already. "Um, I am uh tired already so I think we should head back to your place." Bill tried to be persistent. Dipper already looked super tired and Bill was going to try to help Mabel.
"I suppose we could go to the Mystery Shack if you need to." Bill sighed. His plan was going for him so far. Bill helped Dipper pick up his papers. "Oh, I have to check out these books before we leave." Bill nodded. Dipper picked up the books and brought them to the front desk. Bill was jumping from toe to toe. He was waiting anxiously to get out of the library. Dipper took notice to this and they got out of the library.
"I don't think you're that tired if you can jump around like that." Bill looked up. He was caught. Bill smiled and kept walking forward. Dipper smiled and shook his head. They walked on as the sun started to set. Dark clouds started forming all around the town.
"Dipper, doesn't it feel like we're being watched?" Dipper looked around as Bill got closer to Dipper. The clouds became darker and darker. Yet, nothing happened. The ominous sky stayed right where it was. It scared the people of Gravity Falls. Well… everyone in the town except Dipper.
Bill and Dipper ended up walking home safely enough. A car almost hit Dipper. Bill held on to Dipper's hand from that point on. Bill had become some-what become a guardian for the young adult. Mabel, of course, had scolded Dipper and helped Melody make dinner. Everyone ate and chatted and Soos' family was introduced to Bill. No last name was mentioned though. Eventually everyone started to go back to their bedrooms and Soos went to reorganize the shop in case of new or old customers the next day. Mabel went to get some rest and Melody went to take care of her kids.
"Hey, Dipper? Do you think you could get to bed early tonight?" Bill asked as they both walked upstairs. Dipper scratched his head thinking. He looked over at Bill. He gave him a look that told him 'he had work to do'.
"Bill, I'm not sure. I have more work to do. I just want to get this journal finished before this summer ends." Bill looked at him sadly. He trudged up the steps slower than before. Dipper took notice to this and sighed. "Okay, I suppose I could but I need to get more done soon." Bill gave a weak but true smile.
They both made it to Dipper's room and unlocked the door and walked in. Dipper grabbed some pj's and told Bill he was going to take a shower.
"Hey, I'm gonna go take a shower. You can just chill here or somewhere around the house." Bill nodded as Dipper left the room. Bill took off his shoes and looked around the room. The usual 'nerd' stuff laid around. Bill let out a huge yawn and thought he should get some sleep soon. He looked around a bit more first before. He found something entertaining.
"Oh my gosh, It's his journal." Bill picked it up and sat on Dipper's bed. He started from the very beginning and started reading through it. He didn't have much light considering the only light was from the lamp on Dipper's desk. Bill eventually fell asleep with the journal on his face.
Dipper walked in and saw the perfect sight. He laughed and took the towel from around his shoulders and rubbed his hair once more. He did have trouble deciding on whether to sleep in his bed next to Bill or pull out the mattress for himself. Let's all just assume he hit the 'fuck it' button and jumped into bed right next to him. Dipper picked up his journal off Bill's face and threw it on the floor. Dipper turned off his lamp since he was closer to the desk.
"Good night Cipher." Dipper said quietly. In response, all he got was soft snores and slow breaths. Dipper smiled happily and went to sleep. The night went on happily. That is until the sky became darker and the stars were hidden from this peaceful town. While the town slept on Someone else had horrid nightmares. Dipper Pines was lying in bed shaking and dripping in sweat. This eventually woke Bill up.
"Dipper, are you okay?" There was no response, only more shaking. Bill had put his arms around Dipper hoping that this would help the poor guy. Eventually Dipper went into a dreamless sleep and Bill was able to fall asleep himself. Before Bill went to sleep, he kept a mental note on what to ask Dipper tomorrow. He thought to himself, 'Boy, this poor kid needs help'.
Okay guys, I'm sorry this took a while. The next chapter should be coming by the end of this week. I think I'm okay with this new keyboard. This is over a thousand words so enjoy! I love you all!
