I didn't even go inside after the incident. I just climbed up to a low branch of a pine tree and sat on it gloomily. I gazed at the ground, my eyes glazed with sadness. I hated Bill for ruining my friendship with them...for ruining what I had with Dipper for only at least a day. I really liked dipper, I did, when we kissed I was so happy he felt the same way. Now I felt the feelings were only one sided.

"What's the point," I began. ", Dipper will never mend our bond ever, because of Bill." I cringed. I just saying his name made me so angry and sad.

The branch I was sitting on suddenly shook and dipped down.

I gasped as I slid a little bit, only to realize Bill had sat down next to me.

Bill looked at me slowly and cautiously.

I leaned away. "Why don't you just get away from me! What do you want with me?!" I hated him! Hated him!

Bill sighed. "Arrow, I'm sorry." He apologized. "You said you didn't like secrets and that was the only way to stop them. I helped you complete the task you would have never completed on your own." Bill said.

"Oh, you helped me all right. Dipper hates me! He thinks I'm 'siding' with you but-but I'm not really!" I shouted.

"Look, Arrow, I want to be friends with you. A dream demon is what I am, demons don't find a way to the heart easily." Bill said remorsefully.

I blinked, surprised as I felt that word that he hated come off him. Care. The feeling of care. He did care. "Bill...I-I'm sorry. It's just, you ruined everything for me and...I feel empty." A tear ran down my cheek. Everything...

Bill looked a me, with actual, heartfelt, sadness. "I-I'm, or I was, I don't know..." He paused and met my eyes before looking down. "Jealous..."

Part of me smiled. I did smile on the outside too. When Bill didn't have that attitude and wasn't 'all powerful' he was actually likeable.

Wait...what am I doing...he's a dream demon!

Bill continued. "You and Pine Tree were getting along so fine and were such good friends and I tried to be humorous, but..." He trailed off. "This human life would be harder than I thought."

I laughed. A real laugh. It felt good to laugh, because I hadn't laughed in such a long time. "Bill, your form of humor isn't, well, as humorous to us as you thought." I said carefully.

Bill looked at me slightly confused. "Well, can we be friends?"

I sighed and looked away. "I don't know Bill...you did some horrible stuff and-"

Bill interrupted with a deep breath. "I only wanted you and Dipper to split so we could be friends." He said. "So, please, I'll help get you guys 'back together', just please. Don't leave me..."

I was taken back by his strange human emotions that he had almost never exploited to me before. I gave him a tiny smile. "Ok...I guess."

Bill smiled and hugged me.

I jumped, shocked. Bill was hugging me.

Bill pulled away smiling. "I'll make it up to you Arrow." He said. "But don't expect me to be totally 'reformed'; I am a dream demon. Don't forget that."

I chuckled a little. "Ok."

"So...are we, uh, good?" Bill asked.

I looked up at my house then at Bill, the demon I despised only a few seconds ago, and smiled. "We're good."
