Dipper's POV:

We teleported right in the living room. But I felt like I forgot something. What is it?

"My hat! I forgot my hat! How can I be so dumb to forget my hat?" and I facepalmed.

"Don't worry Pinetree!" I looked at Bill and my eyes widened as I saw that he was holding my hat. "What would be my Pinetree without his symbol cap?" I smiled at that and waited for him to give it to me with my hand outstretched. He motioned to give it to me but at the last moment, he took it away.

"What are you doing?" I asked him.

"Before I give it to you, I need to know something." He said, his face serious.

"What is it?" I asked confused.

"I... want to know if you forgive me for everything I have done. I know that you understand that I wasn't myself, but that doesn't assure me that you forgive me, so I..."

"You want to be sure? Naturally, I forgive you. Like you said it wasn't really you and what friend would I be if I couldn't forgive you? You are a really special friend to me and I know we can trust each other." I said smiling at him. And maybe these strange feelings towards you are pushing me to you.

Bill's POV:

Why me, an ancient all-powerful demon, seek the approbation of this meat sack? I know I have strange feelings towards him, but this is kinda humiliating for me. Maybe he changes me.

"Thanks Pinetree" I said smiling after this awkward silence while I was thinking. "There you can have your hat" and I came close to him to put it on his head. He's almost as tall as me and from here I can see his perfect brown eyes and his face is so close...

And then he surprised me the former all-knowing demon, now almost all-knowing weaker demon. He closed the gap between our lips, giving me a passionate kiss. First I was too surprised to do anything other than close my eyes to enjoy the sensation of his soft lips and then I kissed him back, deepening the kiss and wrapping my arms around him, before we finally pushed away to gasp some air and I released him.

"What was that?" I asked blushing red.

"I... I don't really know. You were so close and I saw your lips and, and..."

"You kissed me" I said.

"And you kissed me back" he said smiling at me.

What is happening right now? Why am so disappointed that we moved away from each other? Why can't I stop staring at him and his lips? Argh...

"Bill, I... think I love you" he said turning completely red at the realization of what he just said.

"Pinetree... I have these strange feelings towards you and it felt so right to kiss you just now" I came closer to him, this time I kissed him and he kissed back. And as we pulled back I said something that I didn't completely understand myself too "I love you too Pinetree" and we both smiled at each other.

~~~~~~Meantime at the Shack~~~~~~

Mabel's POV:

I still looked to the spot where Dipper was a few time ago. He went with this demon?! Away from me?! That can't be true. He must be under some spell or whatever; he can't leave my side. I'm his twin sister and I need him more than some Dorito. With that thought I rushed downstairs yelling to Stan:

"GRUNKLE STAN! Dipper came back!" I went to the kitchen seeing him reading the journal. He looked up at me and spoke:

"What? When?"

"Just some time ago. But then he went away again with this demon."

"That can't be true. I thought he was kidnaped by Bill first but if he came back and then went again with him, maybe..." I didn't let him finish.

"He is under a spell! I'm sure that is the reason why he went with Bill!" and not because of me. "We must help him! We need to save him!" so he can be again with me.

"You're right Mabel, but I don't know what to do. If only Ford were here, he could help us to find Dipper and save him from this wicked Dorito."

"Can't you call him and ask him to come here to help us?" With that, he stood up and called Grunkle Ford. He explained that Dipper was abducted by Bill and that we need his help to go save him. He agreed instantly and said he would be here tomorrow morning. In the meantime, we should go to his lab and prepare us to fight the Dorito. That's what we did. Ah, you will see you Dorito! We will come for Dipper and save him from you ith my special weapon that can kill everything even you!

~~~~~~At Dipper's and Bill's house~~~~~~

Dipper's POV:

We sat together on the couch, cuddled together and smiling. I can't believe that he feels the same way than me. Now I'm dating an old dorito demon. I thought chuckling.

"Hey! That's not very nice! I'm not so old. As a demon I'm still young, I'm maybe about your age, maybe a little bit older. And what matters isn't the age but the feelings." He said pouting.

"Oh come I didn't mean it that way" and I chuckled. He rolled his eyes, or maybe only the eye that I see.

"You know I feel like I'm with a kid." I looked at him offended and buried my head in his chest. "But this kid is very important to me. You know these stupid humans" which I am "don't interrupt me with your thoughts." This time I was the one who rolled my eyes even if he couldn't see it. " As I said, stupid humans said that a soul can find her twin sister, her perfect mate and I think you are the one for me." I blushed harder and kept my head against his chest. I desperately tried to found another subject to discuss.

"Bill, why didn't you heal yourself with your magic?"

"Pinetree I know you want to change the subject" he said chuckling. "But fine, I will explain it to you. First, a dream demon can't heal himself, only another demon can help him and secondly the energy of the Nightmare Realm is different. It's like what you humans call a drug. Only the gem could help me."

With that, I stood up and searched my journal. I wanted to write all of this down, which I did with Bill's help. Outside of the house, it was becoming dark, but I wanted to write all I could. Then a question came to my mind:

"Bill, how are demons created?"

"Oh that's not an easy question Pinetree. First demons are born like everything else in the universe, thanks to magic. Secondly, any human can become a demon, even you."

"But how does that work?"

"Do you want to become a demon Dipper?" He said suddenly serious.

"No, I was just curious that's all". He sighed.

"To become a demon like me, you need to drink a bit of my blood and say: dercaS doolb fo eht maerd nomed snrut em otni eno fo sih dnik! You would become a demon like me and that wouldn't be so bad I think."

"But I would lose my human form." I said.

"No no, you would keep it, just with a few changes, like a different eye color, maybe your hair would change and you would have sharper teeth." And he showed me his sharp fang teeth. "And we could be together forever and no one could separate us or be against us"

"That would be great, but I kinda like to be human" and I looked at him seeing his sad eyes. "And it's not because I don't want to be with you forever, it's the fact of being a demon..."

"You know there aren't only evil demons, look at me now, I'm a good demon" he said with puppy eyes that made me laugh.

"It's not because of that Bill. But what would my family think of me if I am a demon?"

"You mean your sister? I thought that now you didn't want to see her again."

"I didn't mean her. I thought of Stan, Ford and my parents. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't enjoy seeing me as a demon."

"Yeah you're probably right."

"Thanks Bill" and we went together to his bedroom to sleep, cuddled in each other arms not knowing what would happen the next morning.
