Chapter 8
As everyone was ready Billy, Mabel and Dipper headed to the car. "I'm sitting in the front!" Mabel exclaimed running towards the car.
Billy got in the back of the car, it wasn't a long ride to the mall0. As they arrived Candy and Grenda were already waiting for them at the entrance of the mall winking at them.
"Guys! Let me introduce you to Billy" Mabel said as he presented him.
"Pleasure to meet you ladies" He said as he lowered his head.
"OMG, a gentleman" Grenda said in her deep voice as she grabbed him by the arm.
"Jal saeng-gin nam-ja, what a handsome man" Candy said as she grabbed his other arm.
"Then let's go!" Mabel yelled as she pointed towards the mall.
Billy just looked with a sorrowed 'help me' face at Dipper that just laughed walking behind them.
"Oh right, Billy what are we even looking for?" Mabel asked.
"Casual clothes mostly… and maybe an inflatable mattress, I'm tired of the sleeping bag." He answered.
"Hmm… the let's go over there!" Mabel pointed at a Forever store" The girls dragged the poor guy into the shop, Dipper sat down in a bench in front of the store, there was no way he was going into that girly hell.
As the three girls dragged Billy into the shop they let go of him.
"Ladies do you work!" Mabel said as the three of them dispersed and searched for clothes that might be fitting for Billy. They all came back with mountains of clothes for him, they headed to the fitting room and made him try everything on that they chose. It took them over an hour until they were done. As they left the shop the girls we carrying a bunch of bags with them. Dipper stood up as soon as he saw them. "What in nirvana did you buy?!" He asked.
"Billy let us choose something for ourselves as well! You know since we helped him" Mabel smiled.
"Yes, I bought a nice summer dress for the party" Candy said.
"Me too! We are gonna rock!" Grenda said as she high fived Candy.
"We will get this into the car, can I have the keys?" Mabel asked.
"Sure…" Dipper threw the car keys at Mabel, the girls headed to the parking lot. Billy and Dipper were left alone.
"Let's hide from them please…" Billy exclaimed in a tired voice.
"That bad huh?" Dipper laughed.
"They made me try pink stuff…"Billy sighed as he passed the hand through his own hair. "Or at least don't tell them where I am…"
"No don't worry, I'm coming with you" Dipper said.
They started running through the Mall to get rid of the girls, as they were far enough from where they came from, they slowed their pace down. As they were passing through a ball suit shop Billy stopped walking to look at the display.
"Do you want to enter?" Dipper asked.
"If you have time… you can just wait outside" Billy answered.
"No way, I would really like to see what you want to do in there" Dipper laughed.
"Huh?" Billy raised his eyebrow.
"Sorry…" Dipper kept laughing. "It's just hard to imagine you in a suit".
"Hmm…" Billy turned his face away from Dipper and entered the store, Dipper went in after him.
Billy was already talking with an assistant about what he wanted as Dipper entered, the assistant showed him the fitting rooms which were small rooms and not only a cabin. He headed into one as a clerk brought him everything he asked for.
Billy went behind the curtain in the room as Dipper waited in front of it, the clerk kept bringing clothes, Dipper couldn't exactly identify what they were.
"Sir would you like some champagne?" The clerk asked Dipper. "Champ... what?"
"He isn't 21, but leave some for me on the table!" Billy yelled from behind the curtain.
"Oh then pardon me sir, maybe something else?" the clerk asked.
"No thanks" Dipper answered.
The clerk left the changing room, Billy and Dipper were alone.
"Champagne? What in hell are you buying that they offered us champagne?" Dipper asked.
"It's a suit shop, what do you think I'm buying?" Billy replied ironically.
"Whatever just get ready" Dipper sat down on the chair that was placed in the room.
After a few minutes passed…
"I'm ready~" Billy said.
"Then come out, Mabel already called me 10 times…they will find us eventually" Dipper answered.
Billy stepped out from the curtain, he was wearing black polished oxford shoes, black suit pants, a white shirt with a yellow/golden vest on top of it, a black bow tie, a golden silk scarf and of top of everything a long black tailcoat, which was embroidered in gold on the inside it was so long almost reached the floor.
"So are you going to laugh now?" Billy grinned.
Dipper couldn't even answer.
"Hmm? Taking it back now are we?" Billy said as he approached Dipper closer.
"No… Well… Yes, No! Ugh… "Dipper scratched his hair. "You look like straight out of a book!"
"How am I supposed to understand that?" Billy said as he picked up his champagne and drank it.
"You look… great, happy?" Dipper blushed.
"Thank you" Billy smiled. "I'll change back, don't worry I won't take long. "By the way is there anything you want?" Billy asked.
"Not really…" Dipper replied.
As they were done the clerk picked up the clothes, and brought them all packed up to the cash register. Billy was waiting there, "So sir that will be 2.1…" Billy interrupted her. "Just pass the card" He said as he gave her a black card. She gladly obliged.
"Why did you buy that again?" Dipper asked as they left the store.
"You will see someday" Billy answered.
"Would you please answer my questions?!" Dipper asked furiously.
"Didn't we say one per day? Do you really want to waste it now?" Billy smirked.
"Gosh, you piss me off… the girls are at the food court let's go" Dipper demanded.
They met with the girls, which were furious of course, but after offering them lunch they calmed down. The girls went to get some coffee after lunch, Dipper and Bill were left alone once again.
"Come on…" Billy said.
"Where are you going?" Dipper asked.
"I said come on, it's not a request" Billy answered.
Dipper sighed as he stood up, he followed Billy until he stopped in front of a GamesStop.
"What do you need from here?" Dipper asked.
"I don't, but you might, go and look for something you want" Billy replied.
"For real?" Dipper asked surprised.
"The girls got something and since I've no idea what you would like… Whatever just choose something" Billy said.
Dipper went happily into the store, he spend quite a while until he found a real treasure in the used games. "Omg…" Dipper gasped "It's Street Fighter III! The Third Strike Limited Edition!" Dipper ran so the store clerk, "How much is that one?"
"That's a collector's edition" The clerk answered.
"I know what it is! Just tell me the price" Dipper demanded.
"Then you know what it's worth, 274 $" The clerk replied.
"274?! Are you serious?" Dipper asked in denial.
"274 $ no more no less". The clerk confirmed once again.
Dipper sighed and went to Billy, he sank his head on Billy chest.
"Hmm? Didn't find anything?" Billy asked.
"No let's go home" Dipper said as he exited the store.
Both guys went out of the store and headed to the car, the girls were already waiting there.
"I will just go to the bathroom… be right back" Billy said.
"Now?... We will wait" Dipper replied.
Everyone was in the car already as Billy came back, he got to sit in the front this time. They dropped Candy and Grenda at their houses and headed to the shack, still with a bunch of bags.
"What in hell were you doing?" Stan asked as he saw Mabel carrying way too many bags.
"Shopping!" She replied and smiled "What else does it seem like?"
"Why did I even ask"… Stan said as he scratched his back.
"Thank you for helping Mabel, I will carry them upstairs, I will put yours on your bed" Billy said.
"Great! Thanks" She said as she handed him the rest of the bags.
Dipper helped Billy carry the bags to the attic, they placed what belonged to Mabel on her bed and Billy's on the floor, they still had to figure out where to put them. Billy put a small bag on Dipper's bed.
"What's in there?" Dipper asked.
"Just a knickknack" Billy replied.
Dipper sat on his bed, the item was wrapped as a gift, without giving it much thought Dipper ripped the paper off the item, as he noticed what it was his eyes widened and he looked at Billy.
"I hope that was the game you were looking at" Billy said as he scratched the back of his head.
"B… But, when did you get this?" Dipper asked surprised.
"I went to the 'toilet' remember?" Billy yawned.
"Did you pay the full price?!" Dipper asked astonished.
"Why? Does it matter?" Billy asked confused.
"It was over 200 $!" Dipper yelled.
"So?" Billy raised his eyebrow.
"Why would you buy me something this expensive? Dipper asked ashamed, it's not because you feel bad for… you know yesterday, do you?"
"No, as I said I just wanted to make your day, I noticed that it didn't please you to tag along.
"You know…just…" Dipper blushed. "Thanks…"
"Don't mention it" Billy said as he sat on his sleeping bag… "I forgot to buy the mattress..." Billy sighed and sank his head in his knees.
"We can still go buy one" Dipper said.
"Don't bother they close in an hour, no need to rush for my mistakes" Billy answered.
"Mistakes?" Dipper laughed. "We will think about something, I'll ask Mabel she always has great ideas". Dipper said as he stood up. "I'll just go get her, wait a sec." He exited the room.
Only a few minutes passed and Mabel came rushing into the room, "We will build a blanket fort!" She exclaimed.
"There is no need for that Mabel" Billy replied.
"I don't care if there is a need or not! We are building a fort! Now get out of the room, I've work to do!" Mabel said as she kicked both boys out of the room. "And don't enter until I tell you to!" she yelled from the room.
… "So what now?" Dipper asked.
"I will go to the town, I'm pretty sure I saw a cigarette machine at when you enter the town" Billy said.
"I don't think I've to tell you but you shouldn't smoke" Dipper said.
"I also shouldn't be doing a lot of other things, one more sin won't kill me" Billy replied as he headed downstairs.
