Wendy walked beside me, waiting for an answer, "Are you gonna tell me now?"

She was bugging me about yesterday.. Since she saw Me and Mabel on the floor cuddling since we watched all day before that. Yeah, I let my guard down.

"Well, I wasn't gonna tell anyone yet.. but yeah, we are dating now," I explained, which somehow brought a small smile to my face.

"Nice one, dude." She playfully punch my shoulder, "I knew it was gonna work out."

I tilt my head, curious as to what she meant. "You expected it?"

"Yeah, man.. She was looking at you all dreamy like the past few weeks!" She chuckles which just made me more embarrassed, "I mean she's like that to a lot of guys, but yeah she acts differently around you sometimes."

"O-Oh..." I replied, speechless. "Am I that dense?" I said with realization.

"What are you kids talking about?" Stan said from behind us as he approaches.

"N-Nothing.." I said dismissively, "Why are you out here Stan? I thought you were touring the.. tourists?"

"I can do what I want. Besides after I drained their pockets and they already left." I don't even understand how he can say that with a straight face...

"Right.." Before I could continue my sentence, Soos comes out of a corner with his head down and a pained looked on his face. "Soos?" I tried getting his attention.

"I'll talk to you dudes later.. I gotta fix some pipe or something.." He simply walks past us. We round the corner to where he came from.

"Oh no. Oh no, no." Wendy says in a panicked voice.

In front of us were Dipper, Mabel, and her friends Grenda and Candy behind the Mystery Shack. There were party streamers and balloons everywhere.

"Okay, you guys didn't know so it's not your fault, but Soos hates his birthday."

"What?" The twins say with a sad expression.

I look back to Soos, he was sitting on the porch, "Even I haven't seen him that upset.."

...

William

We looked over to the small TV in front, "Welcome to the year 8000. Society: collapsed. Fog machines: everywhere," it announces. Amazing story...

I turn to the others, they wanted to treat Soos today without reminding him of his birthday so they decided why not laser tag? Honestly, I was excited, I haven't played laser tag before and from their expression, it seems that it was going to be fun. So I had high hopes.

Soos looks over to the twins, "I-I don't know, guys. I'm not sure I'm up to this today." He says, uncertain with himself.

Dipper holds his laser gun up, "Don't worry, Soos. As soon as you start playing with us, you're gonna have a great time."

"Yeah, Soos you just have to relax and have fun!" I said trying to encourage him.

"We promise, no matter what happens, we won't leave your side," Mabel promised.

His uncertain frown turned into a more reassured smile, "Well, I guess I could give it a shot.."

We look over to the door, "Prepare for laser battle! In three, two," it announces before giving out a blaring loud alarm.

The door opened, it lets out the smoke that was inside the room. Everything was flashy inside, Grenda and Candy were the first to run inside as Wendy and even Grunkle Stan ran inside. Didn't know someone as old as him, was allowed inside..

Soos was tying his shoe, while the twins runs towards the room, but before they could go in, the room changes appearance from neon with crazy lighting- to a plain white room.

"Wait- Guys?" I didn't have the time to stop them, they went in while I ran after them. It closes behind me with lasers, it was solid and it didn't hurt when I touched it. Inside the room was two men wearing suits, the same person from the fair. So they were time travelers...

Mabel approaches the two guys in front, "Whoa, this is even cooler than I imagined! Look how real these laser guys are!"

I looked closely at them, luckily they had nametags on their armor. One read 'LOLPH' and the other, 'DUNDGREN'.

"Wait, Soos!" I look over behind us- Soos was still tying his shoe, I tried to run to it but it closes before I could approach it.

The twins ran to me and Mabel tried kicking the supposed 'door'. It gives off a metallic sound.

"Nice try. But that's solid time-tanium, kid! There's only one way out of here!" Lolph said. Was that a pun or is that the literal term?

"Through me!" We look over to the right and there WAS someone there. It was a floating head and hands. "Oh, uh," He says noticing that he was only a floating head. "Sorry... C-come on..." We stare at him awkwardly as he fiddles around with his watch for a bit before it reveals his white suit. "Through me! And that's, what it would be like if I'd just...gotten it right the very first chance, but it's still as effective." He says, this time without any confidence.

"Do you know this guy?" I whisper to the twins.

"We may have accidentally got him in trouble last time..." Mabel whispers back. She turns to him again, "What did you say your name was again? Blendo... Blondin..." she says trying to remember his name.

Dipper snaps his fingers, "Blar-blar!"

"There it is!"

"It's Blendin! Blendin Blenjamin Blandin! How could you not know my name after you ruined my life?" He screams while Mabel and Dipper looked at each other confused. "Initiate flashback!"

Before I could get the full story, I got distracted by something else. I look somewhere in the corner, there was a paper on the ground, I somehow felt a familiar presence. I sneaked around- which was somehow easy as they weren't paying attention to me. I glance at them for a moment, good they aren't looking. The moment I approached the corner, a guy pops out of nowhere.

"Hello..!" He whispers with a smirk, he placed his hand on my shoulder. In the blink of an eye, we were somewhere else.

"W-What?" I said confused. "Where am I?"

I was outside, but I didn't know where. Another thing is.. I was high up. I looked below me, people were fighting. I was in some kind of stadium.

I stood up and looked in front of me. There were two people standing in front of me just staring at me with a small smile, one was a boy and one was a girl. Now that I was standing in front of them, I noticed how young they were. I was probably a foot taller than them.

One thing highly noticeable was how they look so identical to each other.

"Hey Will!" The boy said, greeting me with a cheerful smile. Kinda reminds me of Mabel..

"Uh.. Hey?" I look at them confused, "Do I know you both?"

The girl approaches the boy, "I don't think he knows who we are yet..." She whispers to him trying to be discrete as possible.

I stare at them blankly, "I can hear you... I'm not deaf..."

"Eek!" Her body straightens up in fear, "I'm sorry!" She hides behind the boy, she looks at me with a hint of fear.

"Sorry, didn't mean to be rude. Who exactly are you both?" Somehow I was very calm about the situation.. I get taken somewhere then I don't even freak out.

The boy approached me with the girl behind him, still hiding. "Name's Samuel, but you can call me Sam," he says as he pushes the girl in front, "And.. this is my twin sister."

She stares at me with her innocent eyes, "M-My name's Lily..." She timidly replies.

I stared at them both, so that's why they look so identical...

The boy- which I now knew as Samuel, had short brown hair which seemed to be messy all around. His skin was as pale in comparison to his sister. He was wearing a blue sweater, which didn't have any design. As well as black shorts.

His sister.. Lily, had long brown hair which reached up to her waist. Her outfit was just like her brother she was wearing a matching blue sweater and a skirt which was a few inches above her knees.

What stood out the most was their incredibly dazing light blue eyes.

I nod in response, "Wait- How did you know my name?" I back up a bit being cautious.

"We're time travelers!" He says proudly.

"So.. You met me in another time?"

"Yep, probably the future you."

"Uh-huh.. Why did you take me out of there?"

Lily speaks up, "W-We wanted to hang out with you..." I turn to her, she was looking at me with those innocent eyes. My heart skipped a beat.. she was so adorable.

"Well I'd like to but.. I have to go back to Mabel and Dipper and it's my friend's birthday."

"Oh yeah! Is it Soos' birthday?"

"Wait- what? How do you know that?" I.. I didn't even say anything about that. Can he read minds or something?

"My mom told me!"

That doesn't make anything clearer... "Who's your mom exactly?"

Before he could speak up, Lily says something else, "Sam! We already told him that in a different time.."

He looks at her confused for a second before laughing nervously, "Oh right..." He turns to me with an uncertain smile, "We'll tell you next time!"

I groan a bit.. all this time talk is getting in my nerve... "Hmm.. Where are we anyway?" I gaze back to the show below us, itreally seems like a gladiator from the old times... but more futuristic. This was a nice view, but we can't really hear anyone from up here.

The surrounding area of the stadium.. there were huge buildings miles apart that seems to go on to distances. I couldn't even see the ground, because everything was covered in thick fog.

"We're somewhere in the future, in the globnar. It's where you fight others and beat a bunch of trials to obtain a time wish." I look at him confused, "It basically breaks time and space and you can wish for anything!" He said excitedly.

"Did you guys come here to get one?" They both nod excitedly. I'm guessing this 'time wish' is pretty overpowered or something?

My train of thoughts stopped when they started floating. "Come on let's hang out!" He says trying to drag me.

"Wait- Wait.. How are you- Does everyone have powers in the future or something?" I asked, that would be crazy if it's true...

Lily then floats and comes up behind me as she puts her hands around my neck innocently like a child. "N-No.. Sam just forgot to mention one part.. about us..."

"About what?"

He smirks, "Our full names are Sam and Lily Cipher."

I stared at them with wide eyes, "Wait you guys are dream demons?" They nod, answering my question.

Before I could say anything else, he continues, "And no we can't answer your question yet! You'll find out in the future!" He chuckles, mischievously.

"Ugh... Fine..." I groan. I guess there are more dream demons in the future... Looks like I'm not the only one..? "And... W-What are you doing in my back..?"I tilt my head towards Lily- who was still now on my back.

"It's a piggyback ride..! I'm tired..." She says in the most childish tone.

She looks adorable and comfortable there.. I guess I'll let it slide for now. "Alright..." I start floating. I guess I'll just go back to them later.. I mean- I can just go back in time to where it feels like I didn't leave.. "What did you exactly want from me?" I repeat my question.

"We wanted to hang out with you! Before we go to the match!" He says with a hopeful smile. "Come on, let's go!" He starts pulling my hand.

"Where are we going?" I said as I start following him in the air.

He stops mid-air as he looks at both of us, "Oh right... Lily?"

I slightly turn my head to look at her. She holds her hand out in front of me, with her still on my back. Her hair was blowing through the breeze, it starts to glow- slowly turning into light blue. It was mesmerizing from under the moonlight which glowed the same shade.

The air in front of us starts to distort, a second later a blue portal opens up. Across it revealed the Mystery Shack. Before I could ask them anything, he enters the portal and stands on the ground in front of the portal.

"Let's go..!"Lily says as he pumps her fists up.

"Going with strangers who I don't know much..? I'm in!" I said to myself as I approached the portal.

I cautiously entered and looked around us, everything was exactly the same. "Are we back at the right time?" I asked looking back at them.

He shrugs at me, "I.. Don't know?" He laughs as I stare at him dead in the eyes. "There is only one way to find out!" He starts walking to the door.

I look behind me, Lily removed her hands from my shoulder and got off. I honestly even forget and I didn't feel her weight on my back. Probably because she was flying... She grabs my sleeve and starts walking off to the door as well.

With a sigh, I start walking to the gift shop. We were just checking to see if we were on the right time anyways.. I opened the door and the bell rang. There stood a guy staring at us with a kind smile while holding a bunch of boxes.

He had short black hair and pale skin. We were about the same height, but he was slightly taller. He wore a green flannel with a white vest, blue jeans, and boots that were stained with mud. He was also wearing small reading glasses. He looks rather familiar...

"Oh! Customers, hello!" The guy placed down the boxes as we entered the shop, with the door closing behind us. Wait.. when did Stan hire this guy? Are we really at the wrong time?

Sam was the first to approach the person, "Hello kind sir! What's your name?" he says with the same energy.

"Oh, well my name is Robbie Valentino..." He shyly introduces himself.
