Dipper ran down the path feeling pain in his arm. He tripped slightly over his untied shoelaces. He promised he would listen to Mabel from then n about his shoes. He faceplanted it in the dirt and looked up to see the forks still coming after him. Dipper quickly scrambled to his feet and ran down the path. He clutched the journal close to him. “Mabel!” He tried calling out again. He then heard laughter fill the forest.

A giant yellow triangle floated down from the sky. Bill opened his eye and his arms and legs popped out. He gave a menacing look with his eye.

Dipper stepped back but bumped into the forks. He quickly ran forward but Bill stopped him.

“Face it kid, you can't stop me in my domain. I'm the king of the forest...” he said.

Dipper's eyes widened. “You're domain! I'm in the Dreamscape, there is no Mystery Shack here unless you want one. Why didn't I think of that,” Dipper muttered.

Bill laughed. “Maybe you aren't as dumb as I thought you first were,” he said.

A faint voice broke through. “Dipper? Dipper wake up! Dipper are you alright! Dude what kind of crazy dream are you having!” Mabel called out.

Dipper smirked slyly and pinched himself.

Dipper woke with a start and bonked Mabel's head. “Oh hey Mabel,” he muttered.

Mabel looked at him terrified. “Okay, Bro-Bro, what kind of mixed up dream were you having? You kept thrashing and yelling and making the bed hit the wall. Stan called to figure out what was going on and I had to tell him we were wrestling because I didn't want him to know you were having weird dreams that would make him worried!”

Dipper blushed faintly. “It was a dream about Bill...” he said.

Mabel smiled small. “Hey, that weirdo is just trying to mess with ya, don't let him get to your head...wait...” she paused to think that last part through.

Dipper smiled and flipped her hair over her head. “Don't stress to hard with that sentence, I know where you were trying to head. It's fine,” he said.

Mabel laughed and tackled him to the floor. “Wrestle!”

Dipper let out a yelp but then wrestled Mabel back.
