It took much longer to finish their homework, and do their chores, and Stan made sure it was dark outside before they were done. Ford and Soos began to build a fence around the area. The twins began to realize they were being put on lockdown.
In the morning, the bus would come around the Shack. But the two didn't get on. Instead, they fled into the forest, to find the cavern where Bill was. Mabel brought sleeping bags and other things, books and crafting supplies, so she and Dipper could stay down here during the night, sneak away. They were too afraid to ask again to their Grunkles about Bill or the new rules being put in place.
Dipper asked Bill. "So... You've ever heard of Stanford Pines?"
"Stanford... Pines... Sixer?" he asked, frowning. "I'm not sure why I know that..."
"Hmm... That's kinda weird. But Sixer? Are you talking about his hands?" Mabel asked.
Bill shrugged, having no good answer.
Dipper sighed. "It's okay... We'll figure this out, one way or another."
"Oh, I just remembered - Bill, that way to get you out of here you told me about that only Dipper can do!" Mabel exclaimed.
Bill whimpered a little. "Do I have to...?"
"C'mon, Bill, we won't be able to come here much anymore. The Grunkles are locking us down, not letting us go outside. We had to sneak out to get here..." Dipper said, staring at him.
Bill sighed. "Alright. I need you hold my hand. It's... It's going to be uncomfortable for both of us, but it'll be okay." He smiled with his eye.
