Days Later

Bill leaned his body against the wood pillars, broom close tightly against his arms. Will and Tad were probably having fun without me. How unfair and cruel. I can see why there's two types of demons in this world-

"Did I say you can stop? C'mon! Mush great stallion!" Pi-Mo exclaimed.

Bill groaned, sweeping the dust around. He checked under the rug to dreadfully find more lint and dirt underneath.

"This is so boring! Why can't I just take a break?!" Bill complained.

"Finish sweeping then you could do whatever you want mister." Pi-Mo states.

"This is useless. When am I ever going to do this?!" Bill snapped, crossing his arms.

Pi-Mo grinned, using his magic to make the broom sweep itself. "When you rule your own dimension."

Bill raised an eyebrow. "How many dimensions have you conquered?"

"666 I believe. I wanted to conquer a dimension every eon, but I stopped so I can take care of you both." Pi-Mo says, smiling.

He must be enjoying my misery.

Such a saint he is.

Bill huffed and crossed his arms, his eyes trailing across the window. Will and Tad were playing catch outside, perfect weather to play and explore. Will and him would be adventuring if it wasn't for Will's tattle.

"Ready William?" Tad called, using his finger to levitate the ball high in the air.

Will took a few steps back and squinted, using his hand to block the sun. "Ready as I'll ever be, Uncle Tad.."

Tad tossed the ball, standing back with a proud smile on his face. Tad knows deep down that Will can do something as simple as this.

And Tad was right.

The ball rushed toward Will, and he fight or flight instinct kicked in.

"Ah!" Will shielded his face, bracing for impact but none came. The ball floated near Will's face, a blue aura surrounding it.

"T-Tad?-"

"You did it! I'm so proud of you!"

Tad embraced Will, laughing in joy and happiness. Will smiled nervously, patting Tad's back.

Bill just narrowed his eyes, disgusted at the sight.

What kind of schemes did Will make while he was gone?

Tad seemed to talk to Will with a face of pure excitement. Will looked up at the floating ball before smiling brightly at his Uncle.

Has Will been lying to him this whole time? All to his face?

Wills been talking with Tad hasn't he?!

He shouldn't known something was wrong-

Why is Bill even listening to Will at all?!

To believe a lying SNAKE-

"BILL!" Pi-Mo yelled.

Bill flinched, turning to Pi-Mo's attention.

"What? Have I done enough to please you?" Bill says sarcastically, rolling his eyes.

Pi-Mo merely scoffed. "Not enough, child. I just wanted to give you something."

Pi-Mo knelt beside Bill, motioning him to take a seat. Bill carefully took a seat, eyes laced in anger. He should be making deals by now.

"Here," Pi-Mo extended his hand, dropping a small pill into Bill's hands. "This is to help you sleep. I've noticed how tired you've been. Wills mentioned that you slept for what? One day since the incident?"

"I don't need anything!" Bill hissed, slapping the pill away. "Why must you fix all your problems like the press of a button?! I'll get sleep! Just give me time!"

"You have NO right to tell me what to do. You're still in trouble and if you want to think straight, just get some rest and have this! What else can you lose?" Pi-Mo says coldly, snapping another in the palm of his hands.

Bill looked down at it, hands clinging onto the chair for dear life. Does it really have to come to this?

"Come on Bill." Pi-Mo soothed, smiling warmly.

Bill took a deep breath, rolling the pill into his mouth. Bill gagged at the taste, but nodded his head, seemingly complying to Pi-Mo's order.

Pi-Mo was quite skeptical of Bill's obedience. He was upset all this time yet this one time he did what he was told without a word of protest.

Pi-Mo reached under Bill's chin, tilting it up. "Open."

Bill did as told, and as empty as it was, maybe Bill did calm down after all. Pi-Mo was almost proud. He swallowed as promised.

"Good. Now go rest. I don't want you to tire yourself out. Afterwards, I want you to apologize to Will for hitting him."

Bill nods slowly, jumping down from his seat before dashing upstairs.

~(°•°)~

"Oh Satan!" Bill gagged, spitting the pill out of his mouth into the sink. He somehow managed to hide it in plain sight.

Bill clung his hands to the edges of the sink, checking the door once in a while in case Pi-Mo came in. He felt a little woozy, and tired, the effects giving him a weird tingling feeling.

"You have no right telling me what to do-" Bill mimicked, flashing from red to yellow.

Pi-Mo is known to cover his tracks, and this was one of many ways to do that. Putting him asleep for eons wasn't the way Bill was going to live.

Bill flashed back to yellow, letting the sink flush the sickening pill away.

Bill grinned in victory but a small frown covered his face after.

Maybe Will was right, maybe he has been a little off lately. But the deal was so fun! And the gang probably misses him!

If only he could have a chance at both worlds..

Bill's eyes widened in excitement. He could bring Will to see the gang! He could show Will how safe they were! Once he understood and got to know how he felt, Will could surely let him continue!

But how to get them back over there..

"Bill!" Will called, knocking on the door. "You okay?"

"Yes! Yes! I'm fine I've!-" Bill began, shutting off the lights and climbing into bed. "You just woke me up! I'm very tired!" Bill called before attempting a fake yawn.

"Bill, I know somethings up." Will says before going inside.

Bill stuffed his face in his pillow. "It's nothing really I've just got a lot on my plate and I'd be happy if you left me alone."

Will looked down, sitting beside the small body underneath Bill's covers.

"I'm sorry for ratting us out. I really..am. But, please don't act like everything's okay. I don't want to see that right now.."

Bill peeked over, tears collecting in Will's eyes. He was always such a crybaby, but seeing him like this made Bill's heart ache. All he wanted was to fix all of Will's problems. Soon enough though, Bill was going to make the pain go away.

"Look, I want you to do something for me." Bill states, eyes drawn to the ground.

"Like?" Will asked.

"I..forgot to cancel those deals. You know? And the gang should know I won't be coming back." Bill explained.

Although it wasn't a lie, it wasn't really the truth either. Bill knew that Will had a gullible side to him, and now Bill can use that to his advantage.

"Really? I don't know.." Will began, hands put together. Bill grabbed them in his own, eyes sparkling like stars in the dark night. "Once I cancel them, we could play together!"

Will's eyes sparkled back, smiling brighter and brighter. Was this a dream come true?! Did Bill finally understand?!

"Really?!"

"Yes! Just tell Tad to give us 30 minutes at most! Just imagine the games we'll play!"

"And-And the adventures?!"

"Of course, Bluenete!" Bill exclaimed.

"I'll tell him right away!" Will exclaimed back, jumping on the bed and dashing out the door.

Bill shut the door, before stuffing his bag with food. He added in much more supplies before making his way down.

Bill's smile turned to a grin.

Perfect.
