Corrisma- Thank you for the review. Dipper's not going to turn into a dream demon like Bill, oh no. I already got some things planned out to happen to the poor child in this story. And it's not that, I'm sorry to say. Maybe I'll do a one-shot of something like that.. I dunno. XD. Anyway, thanks once again for reviewing, and i hope you continue to enjoy the story!

Pine Tree- Aw, thank you! I'm glad to be a member of the Gravity Falls club! Everyone in it seems to be really nice, and that's awesome! Phew.. I was worried I was going to mess up pretty badly with just starting out in Gravity Falls and making a story for it. I'm glad to know that I got my facts right at least! You know I'm going to love it? Oh God, are you secretly Bill? 'Cause I already do love it! It's really interesting and awesome to watching on TV and online! Aside from that though, thanks so much for the review, and I hope you continue to read and enjoy the story!

Snowflake- I have a Gatomon OC with that name.. XD. Anyway, thank you very much for the review! It means so much! Well to answer your questions.. Bill's rude because he wants to be I suppose? I don't really know.. XD. Dipper really should tell Stan, but maybe he's scared to, of what his uncle might do or something.. Who knows, eh? Anyway, thanks for the review!

Chapter 2

"Dipper! Dipper, wake up!" a voice called.

His eyes snapped open after a few calls from the voice, and he quickly set up. He was panting heavily, and his heart was being so fast and loud in his chest, that he was sure it was going to burst at any moment. He glanced around with wide, fearful eyes to see that he was back in his shared room with his sister.

"I-It was just a dream..?" he spoke quietly.

"More like a nightmare!" Mabel corrected him. She had been beside her brother's bed, shaking him, yelling his name, trying to wake him up for what felt like forever. "You were screaming in your sleep like you were being murdered!"

Dipper blinked a few times at this. He had been screaming in his sleep? He gulped, feeling guilty that he had woken up his older sister due to that. But why had he screamed again? He remembered seeing Bill in his dream.. Or was it in real life? He wasn't too sure.. It seemed so real, yet.. It was just a dream.. Right? It wasn't real.. None of what had happened was. It was just a bad dream. A nightmare. Nothing more.

Then why was it bugging him so much? And why did his arm and for head hurt so badly, like they had been burnt by something really hot? He glanced over at his arm, and put his hand on it, rolling up his shirt sleeve, only to find nothing there. Then why did it hurt so bad? Why did it sting if nothing was there?

Your mind's playing tricks on you Dipper. Get a hold of yourself.. he thought.

"Dipper? Hello? Hey, Dipper!" Mabel waved her hand in front of his face, snapping him out of his thoughts. "Answer me, bro!"

He shook his head slightly before looking up at the older twin. "What?"

"I asked you if were you okay," she replied, worry in her voice as clear as day. "And you like spaced out on me! Are you feeling alright?"

The younger twin was quiet for a moment, wondering if he should tell her or not. He didn't want to worry her than she already was, but he didn't want to lie to her either. The two of them were close, as close as twins could be, and he would feel terrible if he lied to her about something that might not even be real.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you, Pine Tree," a voice spoke from within Dipper's mind.

The boy jumped slightly, letting out a small gasp of both surprise and fear. Bill was here?!

"Of course I'm here. I'm always here. Always watching, just like I said I'd be! Anyway, back to the matter at hand.. I wouldn't tell her if I were you. Don't want to get her mixed up in all this now do we? After all, this is just between the two of us. No need for Shooting Star to get herself tangled in it."

You want me to lie to her?

"Not exactly lie, kid. A little fib maybe. That doesn't count as a lie does it?"

Dipper frowned slightly at this. The dream-demon had a point. It wasn't really lying.. He quickly shook his head at this. Why was he listening to what Bill said anyway? He was the reason he was in this mess to begin with! His enemy! Why was he even thinking about listening to that floating dorito?

"Because this 'floating dorito' told you to."

I don't have to listen to you! the 12-year-old pointed out.

A dark chuckle echoed from within his mind at this, and he cringed slightly.

"You really think so, Pine Tree? Well, we'll just see about that, now won't we?"

Dipper was about to reply back to him asking what he meant by that, when he felt the most unbearable pain that he ever felt before shoot through his body. He screamed in pain as the marks that Bill had given him in the dream, began to glow a bright blue, and the more that they did, the more pain the child was in. The marks were well hidden from Mabel, as the demon didn't want her to know of the little secret as of yet.

"Dipper! What's going on?! What's wrong?!" she cried out.

"I-I don't know!" he managed to get out. "Mabel.. Get help.. Please."

The older twin nodded, tears in her eyes, as she quickly turned and ran down stairs, yelling for Grunkle Stan. The glowing marks soon faded away, as did the pain, and the boy fell back onto his bed, gasping and wheezing. His whole body hurt so much, like he was on fire, being cooked alive by some unknown force. He closed his eyes to try and block out the pain as best he could, but he only ended up passing out from it.

Me: And that's chapter two everyone!

Thunder: Dear Mew.. You're so mean to Dipper!

Me: I'm not mean to him! Blame Bill!

Shade: You're the one writing the story.

Me: Silence, mah little Raichu! That has nothing to do with this!

Shade: I think it does actually.

Me: ..Whatever. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. Thunder, if you please.

Thunder: Sure! Don't forget to read and review everyone! Until next time, bye!

Shade: Bye I guess.

Me: Bye everyone!
