So after their adventure finally coming to a close the group brought me back home to my Dad
"WENDY!" He screamed coming out to hug me
"ACK! DAD CAN'T BREATH" I respond
He then let's go
"OH SORRY ABOUT THAT GIRL DIDN'T MEAN TO GIVE YOU THE OL CHOKE HOLD THERE HAHA"
He replies laughing "It's good to have you home Sweetheart now would you like some Breakfast?"
"Sure Dad i'll just have some Cereal thanks" I tell him Sitting down in a chair
The guys start to leave
"HEY WHERE ARE YOU GUYS GOING?" Dad replies running over to them
"YOU GUYS SAVED MY DAUGHTER FROM... WHATEVER HAPPENED TO HER THE LEAST I CAN DO IS SERVE YOU BREAKFAST"
He says pulling out a chair "THE KIDS ARE SPENDING THE REST OF THE SUMMER AT CAMP SO I'VE GOT PLENTY SEATS"
Dipper Mabel and Mermando each take a seat
"Oh uh... I'll just stand up" Soos replies leaning against the wall
"SO WHAT DO YOU GUYS WANT CEREAL? CAUSE IT'S EITHER THAT OR LEFT OVER CHILI HAH!" He asks them
"Uh yeah that's fine" Dipper and Mabel reply
Mermando jumps out of his seat "OH OH! I'll take the Chili!"
Dad simply looks at him repeatedly blinking "Oook?" He then hands him the Cold Chili as he begins scarfing it down
He hands out Bowls filling them each with Raisin Brand But when he tries to pour the milk
It's frozen
"UGH DANG IT FROZE THE MILK AGAIN! OK WHO CHANGED THE TEMPATURE IN THE FRIDGE?...OH RIGHT THAT WAS ME I WAS THE ONLY ONE HERE HAH!"
He replies "DON'T WORRY I'LL HEAT IT UP"
He puts the milk in the stove
Dipper Mabel and Mermando simply glare at him
"WHAT?" He replies confused as to why they were glaring
I simply stare into blank space
The Milk is frozen
The Milk has ICE
I look down at my shirt in confusion
Bill was right I am always around Ice
The Mystery Shack Rooftop The Ice Storage in that Convenience Store
The Ice Dipper was trying to bring me that time he hit my eye with that baseball
Even at that party at the shack I kept an ice cold drink the whole time and then in the Bunker they froze the Monster
And then when I took that Stupid Bucket challenge... But why? Why is ice always always around me?
I had to think about this alone
"Uhh excuse me I gotta go to the bathroom" I said getting out of my seat
I ran to the bathroom upstairs shutting and locking the door behind me
Breathing hard I walked up to the mirror
I screamed loudly "BILL!"
he then appeared directly behind me
"You rang?" He says twirling a cane
"...Are you always watching me?" I ask turning around
"Maybe maybe not..." He says floating closer toward me
"I could have been actually using the bathroom y'know" I said glaring
"And if so I would've closed my eye now what do you want Ice Pack? more Knowledgable advice?"
He says rolling his one eye
I reply with anger "NO I WANNA KNOW WHAT THIS WHOLE ICE PACK THING IS ABOUT
WHY AM I ASSOCIATED WITH ICE HUH? IS IT BECAUSE YOU THINK I'M COLD HEARTED?"
He looks at me laughing "Ice Pack listen to me it's not because you're cold hearted
It's because you're chill relaxed cool you could say y'know until someone messes with your hat sometimes things just work out that way
The universe kinda sends symbolic little messages you know? And then sometimes it's me But this isn't me
The shirt is though"
I scratch the back of my head "Oh well... that makes more sense I guess I sorta jumped to conclusions there didn't I?"
He replies "Yes you did and I can only guess why you'd think you're cold hearted but that's just not true a cold hearted person doesn't hold on to a gift for 4 years because they need to hold on to a memory"
I start to cry a little "Yeah... I guess not"
"Look as much as I enjoy talking to someone who doesn't scream everytime I appear I'm guessing this isn't about the ice is it"
He says throwing the cane on the ground
I breath heavily before replying "No it's not Bill
You're the only person who knows my secret and I can't bring myself to tell anyone else
I have to know what I should do But i'm too scared because I know that this choice will affect my future forever
But you can show me my future so I don't have to worry about making the wrong choice!"
Bill laughs "Ice Pack... it doesn't work like that
If I show you one of your futures That will create another 3rd or even 4th future Because knowing what it occurs in your own personal future
Could persuade you to make different choices understand?"
I simply blink a few times and reply "Not at all"
"Look knowing your future can change it ok?" He replies again
"OOOHH Why didn't you just say so?" I ask him
"I thought I did Anyway I can't help you ok? You're gonna have to figure this out yourself"
Just then there's a knock at the door
"Gotta go bye!" he says before disappearing in a flash of light
"WENDY? WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THERE?" My Dad asks
I come out of the room "I'm done" I reply
He looks at me weirdly "I will never understand why women take so long in the bathroom"
I laugh "HAHAHA!"
He replies "Now get down there the milk is done heating"
