Author's Note- Yes, they are getting a little bit hormonal, they're teenagers. Wow, I never thought so many people would like this! Thank you thank you thank you!

Mabel's POV

I am holding the hand of a demon, whispering to him as he attacks me.

"William, stop this! I'm right here! It's me! We can get through this if we work together! I love you!"

His head twists around and his eye turns from yellow to green. "Ma…bel… I'm… trying…" And I take the chance and kiss him. He stops writhing and kisses me back. He's back… but they are coming… they are coming to take him away.

I groan. Really? After what may have been the single greatest date of all time, I dream about demons and kidnappers? Really?

At least it's morning. I see something taped to the outside of my window. A letter? I go over and open the window, taking the letter.

Maybelline,

I had a lovely time yesterday. The movie was magnificent, but dull in comparison to the company I had. I would love to see you again, soon. Will you meet me in the woods, by the clearing? You know the one. I'll be waiting.

Ever yours,

William

P.S. I like your hair better down.

I beam at the letter! He is such a gentleman. I quickly brush my tenth and comb my hair as best as I can, before tugging on a striped skirt and a sweater that says, "Can't Touch," as well as a necklace with a shooting star pendant.

"I'm off to meet William!" I tell Dipper cheerfully. "He taped a note to my window, isn't that romantic?"

"Sounds creepy to me," Dipper said. "Why not just call?"

"He doesn't have a phone," I explain.

"Who on the planet doesn't have a phone?"

"William," I say with a smile. "Did I tell you that he picked me up in a limo?"

"Seventeen times," Dipper tells me shortly. "You know, the more you talk about him, the more he sounds like a paranormal."

"Maybe an angel," I laugh.

Bill's POV

She comes racing up to me. I lift her up, and twirl her around. When I put her down, I kiss her.

"I missed you," I murmur.

"I missed you more," she whispers.

"Impossible," I tell her. She giggles and runs her fingers through my hair. Well, this is happening. I'm definitely sidetracked from my original mission. This would never happen if I was in demon form… but I like this. A lot.

"Possible," she says, breaking the kiss. I smile, and pull out a bracelet, gold with a diamond star charm.

"So, will you be my girlfriend?" I ask her, holding out the bracelet. She beams.

"The jewelry wasn't really necessary," she tells me, sliding it on her wrist. "I still would have said yes. However, it is much appreciated."

"I'm glad you like it," I tell her. "I saw it and knew you had to have it." Actually, that isn't a lie. It was sitting in the window of a pawnshop, and I thought it would be perfect for Mabel.

"Well, thanks," she says. "I love it."

"That was the plan."

Mabel's POV

I finger the new bracelet as I walk home. Wendy notices.

"Hey, what have you got?" she asks, curiously.

"My new boyfriend got me this bracelet. His name is William Sloan, and I am totally in love with him!"

Wendy raises an eyebrow. "William Sloan, huh? Sorry, Mabel, but I think he gave you a fake name."

"What? No. Why would you think that?" I ask, confused.

"William Sloan is one of this town's greatest legends. He's said to have been tortured by everyone in this town until one day, he snapped, turned into a demon, and filled the woods with all the creatures that populate it today," Wendy explains. "He also changed his name. Um, Bill Cipher, I think? I haven't thought about the legend since I was about twelve."

I laugh and shake my head. "You must have your facts mixed up," I say. "William would never lie to me."

"I thought Robbie would never lie to me, and look how that turned out," she says. "Don't put too much trust in guys."

"I trust Dipper," I pointed out. "And so do you."

"Dipper's one of the good ones," Wendy says. "I've never met William."

Bill's POV

I'm contemplating my plans (finally) when I see Mabel marching up to me. Oh great. What did I do now?

"Is you're name really William Sloan?" she asks. "Or was that a lie?"

"It's really William Sloan," I tell her. What is going on?

"I have a friend, who told me that William Sloan was the name of a boy who turned into a dream demon years ago and filled the woods with monsters." Oh. So that's what happened. Are they still telling that story?

"Well, your friend isn't lying, there is an old story about that. The thing is, that is actually my name, too," I say carefully. "Strange, isn't it?"

"So, it's just a coincidence?" she asks.

"I never said that," I tell her. "Let's just say that everyone has secrets, and leave it at that."

"Alright, I won't pry," she said. "You'll tell me when you're ready." I nod, and then get an idea.

"Let me walk you home," I say. "I can meet your brother, and uncle."

She smiles. "I would like that."

Mabel's POV

So he has secrets. Big deal. So do I. Everyone in this town has enough secrets to… do whatever a lot of secrets can do. Oh, you get the point.

"Grunkle Stan, Dipper, this is William," I say. William holds out his hand to shake, but neither Grunkle Stan nor Dipper complies.

"So you're the guy who's been going out with my sister," Dipper says, cracking his knuckles. He has William outsized, but William doesn't appear intimidated.

"Yes, I am," he says.

"If you hurt her…"

"I won't," William reassures Dipper.

"You better not," Grunkle Stan threatens. "Or you'll have both of us to deal with."

"I won't," William repeats. And I'm sure he won't.

I trust him.
