(Dipper's POV)

I stepped on the squeaky wooden steps that bent under me slightly. I could hear Mable talking inside. She was definitely a loud human. I tried to let all the thoughts of Bill slip my mind as I put a smile on. I pushed the door open.

Everything seem to be in the right place. All Gruncle Stan's weird nicnaks and things to show off to the public greeted me. Since the whole Bill apocalypse thing happened to the town, everyone believe anything now.

I shut the door and stretched my arms over my head. Sitting on the bus for over six hours does break your back a little bit. I looked around and didn't see anybody. I cocked an eyebrow and walked in to where the Tv was. There sat Woddles. The only thing that changed with him was that he got a tad big bigger.

Mabel was suffocating that pig with a huge hug. "I see you missed him." I chuckled.

"Of course I did. He is my buddy." She said as Woddles licked her.

I am pretty sure Woddles thinks he a dog sometimes. As I watched Mabel hug Woddles. A pair of arms wrapped around my waist and picked me off the ground. I let out a yelp and looked to see Gruncle Stan.

"How's my favorite kid doin?" He asked swinging me some.

I laughed and hugged him back the best I could. "Hey Gruncle Stan, did you go back in time or something because you don't look different at all." I asked.

He set me down and brushed off his suit proudly. "Now this is why you are my favorite." He laughed.

I playfully shoved him and then in return, he punched me. "Ow." I mumbled holding my arm but was still laughing.

"So how long are you kids plan on staying this time?" He asked walking to the chair and plopping down.

"Obviously all summer!" Mabel said putting her hands on her hips.

"Okay cool, you guys can work for me again." He said flipping through the channels of the Tv.

We both groaned and he laughed. Oh come one, you guys can go pick out something from the gift shop, but only one thing cause I said so. You all don't have to start until tomorrow anyways."

I sighed and grabbed my suitcase. "Alright, I'm going to put my stuff upstairs." I said pointing up the stairs.

Mabel already had her stuff up there I'm pretty sure since I didn't see it anywhere down stairs. I walked up the stairs and walked to our old room. Before I could open the door, Mabel stopped me.

"Dipper, wait!" She yelled running up the stairs.

I looked at her with a cocked head. "What?"

She stood in front of the door and put a stern face on. "This is my room. We aren't 12 anymore, go to your own room." She said pointing to a door on the opposite end of the floor.

"Uhhh okay." I said walking across the floor hesitantly and opening the door to the spare room. I looked exactly like Mabel's room except the window was big and was a stained glass of warm colors. The sun shined through, lighting up the room with a warm orange color. I had to admit it was pretty neat.

I turned on the light and started to unpack my clothes. A small dresser was provided, so that was good. It had dust all over it though. Gruncle Stan must have been using this room for storage since there was a lot of junk shoved to the opposite side of the room. I wasn't going to complain though.

I grabbed a stack of shirts and opened the first drawer. I put the rest of my clothes away and put my suitcase in the closet. The closet was also filled with stuff as I struggled to fit my suitcase in there. I finally got it in there and shut shut the door quickly before everything fell out. I leaned against it with a sigh as my thoughts started to go haywire.

My nerves were all messed up since the tree became dust. I wouldn't stop worrying. It was so stupid, but I couldn't. I rubbed my temple and fell back on the bed. It didn't make a sound. At least I didn't have the squeaking bed that was in the room Mabel was staying in. That was annoying.

"Stop worrying about it." I mumbled to myself.

It was hard not to over think, especially if it's about the thing that almost killed your family including myself. It was so easy to end up in that situation again.

Though, I could fight back a little easier. I wasn't that short anymore. I was taller then Mabel and I even gained a little bit of muscle. That and I made my mind stronger.

I rolled to my side and stared at the wall. What would happen If I did see him again? What would I do? I let those thoughts set in. Thinking of every possibly out there. Every way he could get to me, anything he could say, and anything he could use against me. It was easy for him to mess with me.

He was stone, but that doesn't mean he hasn't been thinking about a way to get back at us. I let out a growl and grabbed my journal.

I sat up and started flip through the pages until I got to the certain page. The letters wrote in a big fat black marker, BILL CIPHER.

I just wanted to make myself feel better somehow. This wasn't the best idea and it wasn't going to do diddly shit, but I wanted to reread all my notes and anything I could. Just so I had the comfort. The page was covered in red ink and a little blood. It never bothered me though. I was so used to it at this point.

No one other than familt has had this journal. Except for the little thief Gideon. He was the one who summoned the demon in the first place. If I can keep this book away from everyone but Uncle Ford and myself, I could possible keep Bill away. Just maybe.

He is a dream demon. He uses your own mind to mess with you and trick you. No one can believe that he is real. I know he is real. I saw him with my own eyes as did everyone else.

I have added notes like how we defeated him in the first place. How Gruncle Stan tricked him into make the deal. I am pretty sure that I could at least keep him under control if he ever comes back.

I sighed and shut the book. I could keep him under control. If he does come back, no one will know. I will make sure no one knoww that he came back. Ever. That eye haunts me everyday. It stares at me like it is trying to take control of me. That eye will forever be apart of me.

I could never forget it. I groaned and looked at the time on my phone. It was only 5:00 pm. I feel tired all of a sudden. My eyes were getting heavy. A little nap wouldn't hurt. I took the journal and shoved it into the drawer of my nightstand.

I laid there, letting my body shut down. I was so tired...

"Pine tree..."

I couldn't see. It was pitch black.

"Pine tree~" a voice cooed.

I couldn't move.

"Why are you so down in the dumps kid?" The voice laughed.

The voice was definitely Bill's. This had to be another nightmare. How though!?! I just fell asleep.

"Did you miss me Pine Tree?" A glowing triangle popped into my face.

My eyes widen, but not for long as I was trying to wake myself up. I was asleep for what, 5 minutes! I could hear myself pant. Not because I was scared, but because I was confused.

"Man kid, your not so much of a kid anymore are you?" He laughed his eye glaring up and down my body.

I opened my mouth but then stopped. This is just a dream. I put on a stern face and glared back at the hellish demon. I did not say one word. Even if he were real and in my dream, he can't make me do anything until I make a deal with him. Those are the rules.

I did let something slip my mouth though.... "Fuck off."

Bill looked at me with some shock. I wanted to laugh in his face because I know how to win. Even If I don't look like I do. I have changed and he has no clue.

"So kid Pine Tree is gone? Huh?" He said crossing his arms.

I didn't respond. I tried moving, but I was still stuck in place.

"Well don't be so hasty, let's just sit down and have a cup of tea."

The setting changed to were it looked like I was in space. There was a white floor and a table with two glass teacup. I was pushed to the table. Tea filled the cups. It was hot and smelled like peppermint.

I just glared at the cup, the peppermint invading my nose. I didn't trust it. Bill sat in a chair and leaned back, sipping on his tea.

"Okay Pine Tree, let's talk business."

"Dipper." I growled.

Bill looked at me. What did he expect me to say? Yes sir?!

He set down his tea and put his hands together. "Okay, I invite you to my home, the least you could do is be respectful." He said shrugging, sounding like mother. At growled at his childishness.

"I didn't want to come here! I didn't even want to see you!" I snarled.

"So you are not the old Pine Tree. Did I go to the wrong person? Hold on." He said and snapped his fingers.

My hat lifted off my head and my hair moved off my forehead. There my birthmark stood out to the world. I snatch my hat back and put it back on, my arms finally being able to move for a split second.

"Yup, I got the right kid...or whatever you are."

I starting to think, this wasn't just a dream. He was planning something. I was getting a little irritated. "Look, why are you in my head?" I snapped.

"Just trying to set some things straight with ya kid. You only have two month before your not a kid anymore. You also know very well that I am going to come back Pine Tree. I always come back. The tree that turned into dust in your hands was just a warning. You can't ever stop me. You may be older, but you are still as dumb as you were when you turned 13." He was started to turn red.

Like the time he did when he chased Mabel and I. That was one thing that scares me, but I didn't let it show.

"Your Uncles may have tricked me, but since you and Shooting Star left town, I had lots of time to think. Being stuck in stone does get boring. Your Uncles are worthless and aren't worth my time getting revenge on. They will die soon because they are getting old, but you. You interest me, ever since I met you."

I stepped back, feeling that I can finally move. "What do you want from me?" I asked suspiciously.

"Well, you aren't old. I could hang on to you for a very long time. I could also use that big brain of yours. I felt how strong your knowledge was when I possessed your body. Now that felt good. To be in a fleshy body." he chuckled.

I felt so disgusted and disturbed. "I am not doing anything that includes you. You are not in charge of me. If anything you should be scared of me." I said coldly.

"And why is that? Because you have the journal? I don't need that book. They only thing I would need it for is to be summoned, but you already know the chant." He chuckled.

Anger was building up inside of me. I just wanted him to leave me alone. I didn't want anything to do with him. I was so done with him.

"I know very well that you don't want anything to do with me, but you are the one who came back to this shitty town. You knew what was going to happen right when you set your foot off that bus. Now you have to deal with me and guess what Pine Tree?" He asked his form changing in to the beast I know very well.

He walked towards me knocking over the table and breaking the cups. I tried to back away, but I couldn't move. Why can't I fucking move!?

He wrapped his claws around me and lifted me up. I let out a yelp as I struggled and squirmed. He brought me to his face that burned like fire.

"I am coming back. Very soon. He he. I will be back and I will make sure that this town and every other place around the world is mine! You can't stop me Dipper! Not this time!" He yelled with his demonic voice.

Why was I so scared? I have seen this too many times to be scared. Not only that, but he was going to be back very soon. I had to wake up.

"Let me wake up Bill!!" I screamed.

It was like I had said the magic words cause he was fading out. "You had better hurry. So you can watch me come back to life!"

Everything was fading to black and before I knew it, I jerked up out of bed, drenched with sweat. I was panting as I looked around. I needed to get to Bill's statue right now.

I grabbed my phone. It was 11:00 pm. I didn't care though. When I went to go take a nap, I didn't bother taking off anything. That made it easier to just run out. I ran out of my room and quietly ran down the stairs.

I went through the shop and quickly looked around to see what I could use. All I found was a light blue jacket. I stood there and stared at it. I wasn't the 13 year old Dipper that Bill knew.

I am Dipper who is going to beat his ass again. I slipped off my vest and threw it the side and grabbed the jacket.

It was time to show him who's boss around here.
