Dipper's POV

(y/n), Mabel, and I were completely bored out of our minds, so we started searching around for something to entertain ourselves.

Dipper: *opens a closet door* Alright, Grunkle Stan's gotta have some decent boardgames.

You: I doubt it. Last board game we opened had flies and cockroaches living inside.

Mabel: *shudders* I remember. That was strange family...

Dipper: Let us see: Battle Chutes and Ladder Ships, Necronomiconopoly, Don't wake Stalin,

You: What about that one?

Dipper: *picks up a board game* What Could Go Wrong: The Board Game. The last players who opened this box never made it out alive.

You: ... fun.

Mabel: Should we play it?

You: Uh-

Ford: *from another room* Family meeting!!! Family meeting!!!

You, Dipper, and Mabel: *look at each other confused before going the living room*

Ford: Ah, children. Come in, come in. *sits by the table*

Mabel: *as she sits by the table* Ooh, mysterious scrolls and potions!!! Are you going to tell us we're finally of age to go to wizard school?!? Is there an owl in this bag?!? *opens a black bag that's on the table and starts searching through it*

Ford: *snatches the bag away* No! I can assure you if there's an owl in this bag he's long dead.

You: *as you sit next to Mabel* Poor owl.

Ford: *looks at you* ... (y/n)...?

You: Hm?

Ford: Is it ok for me to tell them about your... uh... family...?

You: Fami-... Oh. Oh... Uh, I guess...?

Ford: *nods with a sincere smile before looking at the twins with a serious expression taking out a scroll* Now tell me, children, do any of you recognize this symbol?

Dipper and Mabel: *gasp*

Dipper: Bill!

Ford: You- you two know him?!?

Dipper: Know him?!? He's been terrorizing us all summer!!! I have so many questions and theories!!!

Mabel: Dipper's been pretty paranoid since Bill turned him into a living sock puppet. Plus (y/n) absolutely hates talking about him.

You: Gee, I wonder why.

Dipper; The important thing is we defeated him twice.

Mabel: Once with kittens and once with tickles!!!

Dipper: It was a lot more heroic than it sounds.

Ford: The fact that you've dealt with Bill is gravely serious.

Dipper: So, how do you know Bill?

Ford: I've encountered many dark beings in my time, Dipper. What matters is his powers are growing stronger and if he pulls off his plans no one in this family will be safe.

Dipper, and Mabel: *gasp*

You: ...

Ford: Fortunately there should be a way to shield us from his mental tricks! A way to "Bill Proof" the shack. *pulls out a map of the Mystery Shack* All I have to do is place moonstones here, here, and here. *circles certain areas with a marker* Sprinkle some mercury. Let's see, I always forget the last ingredient. *takes out journal #1, searches a few pages, then groans* Unicorn hair.

Dipper: That isn't rare or anything, is it?

You: It's hopeless.

Dipper: What?

You: It's completely hopeless! I've dealt with unicorns before, they're not the easiest beings to talk to.

Ford: Unicorns reside deep within the Enchanted Glade. Their hairs can only be obtained by a pure good hearted person who goes on a magical quest to find them.

Mabel: *yells in excitement* Grunkle Ford, can I please go on this quest?!? I am literally obsessed with unicorns!!! My first word was unicorn, I once made my own unicorn by taping a traffic cone to a horse's head, are you even looking at the sweater I'm wearing right now?!?!?!? Not to mention that I'm probably the most pure hearted person in this room.

Ford: That's true.

You: She's got a point.

Dipper: Right, can't argue with that.

Mabel: So can I go on a mission to get that hair?!? Please please please?!? I'll give you my blood!!!

Ford: Very well. But it won't be easy. Take this. *gives Mabel his journal* And this. *gives Mabel a crossbow*

Mabel: Ooooh!!!

Ford: I haven't been in this dimension for a while. It's ok to give children weapons, right?

Mabel: Psh, c'mon, dawg. *accidentally shoots an arrow out the window*

Stan: *outside* AH, IT'S THE COPS, GUN IT!!!

Mabel: ... *takes her phone and calls people* Candy, Grenda, Wendy!!! Clear the afternoon!!! *runs off*

Dipper: So what are the odds she gets that hair?

You: I'd give her a 0.01. I'm trying to be positive.

Ford: If I had to describe unicorns in one word it would be: frustrating...

You: Very very frustrating...

Dipper: So what are we gonna do about Bill?!?

Ford: You two, follow me.

Ford takes me and (y/n) down to a secret room bellow the shack, but above the portal bunker.

Ford: Welcome to my private study, a place where I keep my most ancient and secret knowledge. Even your uncle Stan doesn't know about this place.

You: Eesh, this place needs some serious redecorating.

Dipper: *elbows you with a glare*

You and Dipper: *follow Ford near some monitors*

Ford: If we can't "Bill Proof" the shack, we'll have to do the next best thing: *takes out a strange devise* we're gonna have to "Bill Proof" our minds.

You: So why am I here? If you know both me and Bill you should know he can't enter my mind.

Ford: Yes I know, but I do need your fire energy to get this to work.

You: *sarcastic* Oh great.

So if (y/n) didn't need it, it meant it had to be me... yay... So Ford put the strange device on my head which was now tightly secured, and beeps began coming from the computer.

Dipper: So what is Bill exactly?

You: Demon? Dream demon? Triangle diabolic creature that knows all? Dare I go on and on?

Dipper: I know but like: where does he come from? What was he made of?

You: That I don't know.

Ford: Nobody does. Accounts differ of his true origins.

Dipper: *takes a file and starts looking through it*

Ford: I know he's older than our galaxy and far more twisted. And that he's able to creat life considering he created (y/n).

You: *with no emotion* Woo. Basically he'a incredibly powerful, but only in the mindscape.

Dipper: What does that mean?

You: He doesn't have physical form, he can only project himself into the thoughts of mortals through the mindscape.

Ford: And that is why he wants this. *shows you and Dipper a weird galaxy looking snow globe*

You: !!!

Dipper: What is that...?!?

You: A tear in our dimension...!!!

Ford: *nods* I dismantled the portal, but with this tear Bill still has a way into our reality. To get his hands on this rift, Bill would trick or posses anyone.

Dipper: So how do we keep Bill out of our minds?

Ford: Well there's a number of ways. I personally had a metal plate installed in my head.

You: ... what?

Dipper: *laughs awkwardly* Good one.

Ford: *bangs his head making metallic sound*

You and Dipper: ... *share a glance*

Ford: But this machine is safer. It will scan your mind, bio-electrically encrypting your thoughts so Bill can't read them. Now, say hello to your thoughts.

You: *snicker* This'll be good.

"Oh man, I can't believe I'm with the author!!!"

"Is my fly down?"

"DISCO GIRL!!!"

You: *fall off your share laughing uncontrollably*

Dipper: *blushes deeply in embarrassment* IT'S A GOOD SONG!!!

You: OH MY- I CAN'T- *laugh more*

Dipper: ...

You: *take a deep breath and sit back down* I'm ok.

Dipper: Hmph...

"COMING THROUGH!!!"

"(y/n) (y/n) (y/n) (y/n)"

You: *blush* ... uh...

Dipper: !!! *turns crimson red* FORD, TURN IT OFF!!!

You: NO NO NO NO, DON'T TURN IT OFF, I WANNA SEE THIS!!!

Dipper: FORD, PLEASE!!!

You: FORD, DON'T YOU DARE!!!

Ford: Sorry, Dipper, but this is for your own safety!

"Is it just me or does (y/n) look more beautiful each day?"

You: *blush even deeper* Uh-

Dipper: *even darker* HEY, FORD, YOU NEVER TOLD US WHAT YOUR DEAL WITH BILL WAS!!! HOW ABOUT YOU TELL US?!? HOW YOU KNOW BILL?!? WHICH IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SUBJECT FROM THIS?!?

Ford: Dipper, do you trust me?

Dipper: *his blush fades away* Well yeah, but-

Ford: Then you'll trust that that's not important. Now focus, it's time to strengthen your mind.

Oh my gosh, I cannot believe she saw that!!! What would she think of me now?!? Does she know I like her?!? What if she doesn't want to be my friend anymore?!?

Fortunately, the process took a long long while, that by the time it had reached 15%, (y/n) and Ford had fallen asleep. I was starting to get irritated, how long had I been doing this for?!?

I looked over at my sleeping uncle. Why did he have to be so mysterious about Bill? I could handle the truth.

"I wonder what great uncle Ford is thinking?"

"Use the machine!"

"It'll show you his thoughts!"

Dipper: I-I shouldn't...

"He won't know."

"He's going to tell you eventually."

Dipper: I mean, I can just ask (y/n).

"You know that she hates talking about her father."

"Speaking of (y/n), she looks so adorable when she's sleeping...!"

"STOP IT, DIPPER!!!"

Dipper: *looks over at you, smiling and blushing, then chuckles* She does look pretty cute.

"Anyways, as I was saying, you should see what's in his head."

"The more you know about Bill, the more you can help!"

Dipper: Man, I am really good at rationalizing!

"Yes you are!"

"Yes you are!"

"Yes you are!"

"Yes you are!"

With that, I took the strange metal devise off my head and placed it on Ford's. It was just on little peek, what was he hiding about Bill...?

First was Bill cackling.

"Where are these ideas coming from?!? Who are you working with?!?"- Fiddleford.

"My brother is a dangerous know-it-all."- Stan.

"He would trick or posses anyone!" -Ford

"Then it's a deal. From now until the end of time." -Younger Ford.

"Just let me into your mind, Stanford!" -Bill.

"Please, call me a friend." -Younger Ford.

The last thing was Bill possessing Ford as he cackled evilly.

Now way...

Ford and Bill?!?

Ford: *stands up, his glasses blurry, not able to see his eyes* You shouldn't have done that. *takes off the strange devise and throws it, revealing many things with Bill*

Dipper: *gasp*

...

Dipper: Why- why were you shaking hands with Bill?!? *takes the rift* You said Bill could possess anyone to get this!!! AH-! *almost drops the orb*

Ford: Careful!!!

Dipper: !!!

Ford: Hand me the rift. Now, boy!!!

???: *now in front of Dipper* Don't you even DARE touch him!!!

Dipper: !!! ((y/n)?!?)

Ford: Move out of the way, girl.

You: Make me!!!

Ford: *growls quietly*

Dipper: Why were you really scanning my thoughts?!? *takes a nearby memory gun* Are you Bill right now?!?

Ford: *starts walking forward making you and Dipper walk back in fear* Now just-!!! Just calm down, p-...

Dipper: PINETREE?!? Is that what you were going it call me?!?

Ford: I was gonna say please, kid!!!

Dipper: Great uncle Ford told us to protect the rift!!! Get one step closer and I'll shoot!!! I'll erase you right out of Ford's head!!!

Ford: It's me, Dipper, it's your uncle!!!

Dipper: Trust no one.., Trust no one...! Trust now one...!!!

Ford: JUST HAND IT TO ME!!! *reaches for them*

You: DIPPER, DO IT NOW!!!

Dipper: *shuts his eyes close, his hands shaking, but shoots the ray at Ford, which bounces against him and around the room, disappearing when hitting a monitor*

You and Dipper: ...

Ford: *picks up Dipper by his vest*

Dipper: HEY!!! LET GO OF ME!!!

You: *punching and kicking Ford's leg* PUT HIM DOWN!!!

I would like to mention she's not using her powers because if she does she might seriously injure the real Ford. Ok bye.

Ford: Now now, just calm down, calm down! *fixes his glasses, revealing his eyes* Look into my eyes! Look at my pupils! It's me, children! It's me...! *smiles warmly*

You: *let out a sigh of relief while sitting down* Well that's one way to wake up.

Dipper: *sigh* ...

Ford: *places him down*

Dipper: I tried to erase your mind... I'm so sorry...

Ford: It's ok, Dipper. Besides, my mind can't be erased anyway, remember? *hits his head making a metallic sound* If that really was Bill though, you would've done great!

You: *playfully punch his arm* Heck yeah you would!!!

Dipper: *blushes while rubbing his arm and laughing awkwardly* Th-thanks...

Ford: I should've been more like you when I was young... Kids, I was a fool to try to hide all this... The reason I've been trying to prepare you for Bill's tricks is because Bill tricked me... It's the biggest regret of my life... Bill wasn't always my enemy, kids... I use to think he was my friends... One of the reasons was to bring (y/n) back, and that's one of the reasons I had to make you forget about me...

You: ...

I'm not writing all the explanation
~skip brought to you by my new dog Cookie!!!~

Ford: To Bill, it's just a game, but to us...

You: It would mean the end of our world...

Dipper: Oh man...

Ford: 'Oh man' indeed...

After that, we went upstairs and got some Pit Cola. (y/n) was getting one for herself, so at the moment it was just me and Ford.

Dipper: *sigh* I'm so embarrassed about earlier... I'm such an idiot...!

Ford: From now on, no more secrets between us. We're not the first two idiots to be tricked by Bill, boy, but if we work together, it could be the last.

Dipper: *smiles, then frowns* It's not just that...

Ford: Then what is it?

Dipper: *looks at the door to the kitchen* ...

Ford: Ohhhh... It's about (y/n), isn't it?

Dipper: She probably knows how I feel now, and probably hates me...

Ford: Dipper, I may not be an expert when it comes to love, but I do know that you need to talk to her sooner or later about it. Keeping it silent will only make things worst.

You: *enter* Keep what silent?

Dipper: Uh- uh- uh- n-nothing!!! We-we we're just talking about Bill and stuff...

You: Oh. Ok?

Mabel: *now in the room with her friends, places unicorn hair on the table* DID SOMEONE SAY UNICORN HAIR?!?

You, Dipper, and Ford: ...

Dipper: Uh, no actually...?

Mabel: Oh. That would've been perfect! Either way we got some unicorn hair!!!

Candy: Also some unicorn tears, unicorn eyelashes,

Grenda: They finally gave us this treasure just to get rid of us!!! *opens the treasure chest making gold and jewels fall on the table*

You: What the- HOW?!?

Ford: *stares at the gold in awe* It- It can't be! This is a great day, girls!!! With this unicorn hair we'll be able to completely shield the shack from Bill's mind reading tricks!!!

Mabel: Is it ok?

Ford: Better than ok, it's perfect!!! You've protected your family, you're a good person, Mabel!

Mabel: Thanks, Grunkle Ford, but today I learned that morality is relative.

Stan: *runs in and grabs all the gold and jewels* MONEY!!! *runs away*

Everyone: ...

You: Hey, uh, Dipper...?

Dipper: !!! ... Uh, yeah...?

You: Can I talk to you for a sec...?

Dipper: ... s-sure...

We go to the hallway, and I could feel myself getting nervous.

You: Look, um, about what your "thoughts" were saying, what exactly did they mean by that...?

Dipper: !!! U-uh... th-that was... I-...

You: ...?

Dipper: I gotta go... *turn to leave*

You: !!! W-wait, Dipper,-! *grab his hand turn him around, accidentally pulling him really close* !!!

Dipper: !!!

We were now incredibly close, our faces only an inch apart as they turned redder and redder by the second. I wanted to tell her, I really did, but I just couldn't find the right words.

Maybe...

Maybe words weren't what I needed to use...

I felt myself slowly moving closer, and I saw her closing her eyes, making me close mine.

It wasn't long before I felt her soft lips presses against mine. It might've not been our first kiss, but it felt a lot more special than the one at the party months ago. Was it because I was now sure about my feelings? I didn't know. All I knew was that I wanted this moment to last forever.

We both pulled away at the same time, slightly opening our eyes. We only stared in silence at each other, not knowing what to do.

You: ...

Dipper: ...

You: P... Pine...?

Dipper: Y-yeah...?

You: W-wha... why did... you...

Ford: *from another room* Dipper, I need your help with something!!!

You and Dipper: ...

You: Y-you should... go...

Dipper: Uh... yeah... um... see ya...

You: See ya...

Thanks for reading!!! 'Till next time!!!

❤️❤️❤️
