I don't own GF.

Quickly finishing her food Mabel ran off to help Stan, who finished first, open the Shack. Decision was Dipper doesn't have to work since he firstly had long journey behind him and, since he didn't plan a long stay was a guest.

Finding nothing of interest in yesterdays newspaper Dipper went upstairs to get properly dresses and then to look around, and to chat with Wendy and Soos. Just then he wondered how he's supposed to talk with them, after all big part of their memories was gone, strengthening the seal.

Wearing dark brown cargo pants, sneakers and opened blue shirt with red T-shirt underneath Dipper went to gift shop where, as he thought Wendy was sitting behind cash register reading some magazine. "So, you finally visited?" Wendy smiled feigning hurt. "You've gotten taller. Nice glasses." she added as Dipper waved her.

Dipper rolled his eyes. "I have seen taller people with much worse glasses."

"I was just joking." Wendy said and they both laughed. "You look much better than Bill, no matter what Mabels crew may say." Wendy noted. Dipper narrowed his brows. Bastard wasn't exactly trying to hide.

"As in Bill Cipher?" he asked "Mabel said some things but not too much detail." he explained with a shrug as Wendy raised her eyebrow in silent question. "Any advice as to recognising him?"

"He's easy to recognise." Wendy mused "Just look for most 'golden thing' you can, loudest as well, and you'll find him. And he's not all that bad. A little weird, that's a well known fact but he isn't dangerous." she assured.

As Dipper was about to ask another question Stan walked in and started complaining. "I'll look for Soos, see you later Wendy." Dipper waved and left to avoid being signed to to work despite being just a guest.

Finding the handyman wasn't hard, he was just behind the shack fixing the golf cart. Soos instantly stopped his work to pull Dipper into a friendly hug. "It's been so long, dude. Like how many years?"

"Too many."Dipper laughed. "How have you been?"

Soos was doing great. Melody was visiting soon and he blushed at Dippers' 'when is the wedding' joke. And at some point in midst of gossip Dipper already heard earlier topic of Bill came up. And same description, lot's of yellow and black. Crazy personality. Has some kind of obsession over Dipper and pine trees. This little information send shiver down brunettes spine.

Bill obsessing over anything wasn't a good idea. "I guess he just likes my books." Dipper shrugged. "They're pretty popular. Especially ones I publish under a pseudonym." he explained with wide, almost confident smile.

"Are you sure it's fine? You don't look well, dude." Soos noticed.

"I'll be fine. I'm just not used to being known yet." Dipper faked another smile.

Later he talked a little more with Soos and then came back to Wendy and they talked a bit more.

Robbie was slowly taking over family business – Valentino's funeral home. Pacifica was regularly hanging out with Mabel, Candy, Grenda and Bill. Grenda was often visiting some Austrian baron.

Susan's restaurant was still working, Bill even worked there what stopped Ford from ever stepping his foot there. McGucket came to his senses, somehow, and now lives with his son. Gideon still runs his tent and occasionally proposes to Mabel who always refuses.

And Shack worked as always, with Wendy and Soos as only employees, all exhibits being fakes. And Dipper liked this kind of normal. No one other than him, Ford and Bill knowing what really happened during that summer five years ago.

At some point Soos joined them and they talked a bit more. "Any of you seen Mabel?" Dipper finally asked. Lunch time was getting close and he felt like eating out. Taking look at 'the city'.

"She's got to be out, dude. If she wasn't she'd be all over you." Soos noted. Wendy agreed and said that Stan might know more. "One of them has to know." she said.

"And if I were you I's be careful around Bill, dude. Fans can be a little crazy."

Going to Stans office Dipper wondered about Bill. Sure failed seal could bound part of the demon to this dimension. Question was why he choose to interact with people. Was it to lure Dipper out? Or was it part of another plan of world domination? He wasn't sure if he really knew.

"Grunkle Stan have you seen Mabel?" Dipper asked.

"I think shes out looking for birthday present for that Northwest girl with rest of her group. Why ask?" Stan asked not stopping counting his money.

"Nothing. I plan eating out, thought she may want to join in. Oh well, I'll just eat alone." Dipper feigned hurt. They both laughed at it.

"Just watch out for waiters. They might be evil. Or Ford would say so. But I sat enjoy your day." Stan said fishing counting. "But honestly watch out for this Bill fellow. I don't know why but I don't like him.

Assuring him he will Dipper went to his car and to Susan's dinner.
