Don't Leave Me Alone... (Billdip)

The Mystery Gang is back together

I wake up hours later. The sky has darkened now, and outside the bus looks... calm. Like everything's alright in the world. I look over to my left. Mabel's asleep, with Waddles on her lap. I pull out my phone and check the time. 10:06. We're almost there. Ahead, I can barely make out the sign. Welcome to Gravity Falls. I take a deep breath. After what feels like an eternity, we're back. The second the bus crosses into Gravity Falls, I hear laughing in the back of my head.

'Oh, Gravity Falls, it is good to be back!'

Shut up. I'm trying to enjoy my life without you butting in every 5 minutes. I was shocked by my reply. But it worked, and he was quiet the rest of the way.

"Kids!" Stan yells as we get off the bus.

"Grunkle Stan!" Me and Mabel yell simultaneously. We jump off the bus and run to give him a hug.

"Where's my hug?" Ford asks, standing next to Stan. Both me and Mabel look at each other then tackle him in a hug.

"Alright, alright. It's pretty late. Let's get going." Stan says. We grab our stuff, get in the car, and head off to the Mystery Shack. The whole car ride I'm thinking about what I said earlier. I don't know why I snapped at him. I mean, he did try to kill us, so I guess it's fair. But still, it was kinda uncalled for. Especially since he let me sleep for once.

Hey, Bill? Um, I'm sorry for snapping at you earlier. Dammit, why am I apologizing?

'I don't know Pinetree, why are you apologizing?' I internally sigh. I don't know. Maybe I want to have a conversation without one of us ridiculing the other.

'That could be cool. Since we're going to spend the rest of eternity together, I guess we should try to get along. At least a bit.' There was a second of silence, followed by 'Or you could let me out.' I almost actually rolled my eyes.

How many times do I have to tell you? I will never let you take control of my body, and I will never make a deal with you.

'Have it your way.' Then silence. I sigh and join the conversation happening in the car. When we finally got to the shack we were shown our rooms, unpacked just enough, and went to bed.

I couldn't sleep though. No matter what I tried, I just couldn't get comfortable. I tossed and turned for a while. After an hour, I groaned and sat up. I get out of bed and walk out of my room. I don't know where I'm going until I get to the roof ladder. I climb up onto the roof and sit down. I look up at the stars. I sat there for a while, just stargazing.

I ended up falling asleep and waking up a couple hours later. I went back inside and to bed. I was cold from sleeping outside, so my bed felt more warm than it was. I fell asleep much quicker this time.

Ford tells us we're meeting up with Wendy, Soos, Melody, and whoever Wendy's bringing at Lazy Susan's diner.

"I think it's gonna be Wendy's boyfriend!" Mabel guesses on the way.

"How do you know she likes boys?" I reply, raising my eyebrows playfully. It was mostly a joke, but Mabel takes it seriously.

"What if she likes girls!?" Mabel asks dramatically. I grin, and take the chance to mess with her.

"Mabel, you can't just assume she's a lesbian."

"I- but- you just said- "

"Look, we're here!" I say as the car pulls into the parking lot. Perfect timing. We hop out and go inside. We're spotted by Wendy, Soos, and Melody and waved over.

"Hey dudes!" Soos says enthusiastically, waving.

"Hey! You kept the hat!" Wendy points out. I nod.

"I wanted to give it back to you." I say, embarrassed. The four of us sit down across from them. On our side it's Stan on the far left (my left), Ford middle left, me middle right, and Mabel far right, next to the window. On their side it's Wendy left (still my left), Soos middle, and Melody right.

"Man, I should've brought your hat! We could've traded." Wendy says, exasperated.

"You can give it to me later." I say, taking off the hat and holding out to her. She takes it and puts it on her head.

"Hey, sorry I'm late!" a feminine voice shouts out. I turn to see a tall girl with long dirty blonde hair in a ponytail running over. She has a dark  complexion and hazel eyes.

"Hey!" Wendy shouts as she walks up. "Olive, meet Dipper and Mabel. Guys, meet Olive, my girlfriend." Mabel gasps as Olive sits down.

"I told you, Dipper!" Mabel yells, pointing at me.

"You two are twins, right?" Olive asks. I nod. "I'm a twin too! Crazy how over half of us are twins."

"What kind of twin do you have?" Melody asks, leaning over.

"I've got an identical twin brother." She says casually. Almost everyone at the table looked confused.

"I've got one of those too!" Mabel shouts out, elbowing me.

"But you two aren't identical." Ford points out. I go silent.

"Yeah we are!" Mabel says, making the hole deeper. I sink into my seat. Everyone at the table looks from me to Mabel in confusion.

"That's not possible. Identical twins can't be different genders." He looks at Olive. "How do you have an identical twin brother?" It's official. I'm dead.

"They could if they wanted to be." She said, then added "Tell 'em, bro-bro!" I was about ready to slap Mabel. My face felt really hot. I felt everyone staring at me.

"U-um..." I stutter. I didn't want them to know. It could've been fine. They could've not known, and everything would've been great. I feel tears prick in my eyes. I glance over to Olive. She's looking at me with a certain look in her eyes. Like there's a question she wants to ask, but won't. I know the question, and I give a slight unnoticeable nod. She smiles.

"Hey, did I tell you about that one time-" Olive mentions, changing the subject. I sigh a breath of relief. The conversation shifts, and I look back at Olive. She gives me a wink. I smile.

'Pinetree! Listen, something bad is about to happen-' I roll my eyes. If this is another one of your lame excuses to try and let me give you control it won't work. I'm not as stupid as you think.

'You're right, you're even worse. Pinetree I'm being dead serious. You need to give me control!' No, what you need to do is fuck off.

'Normally I would comment on such language, but I don't have the time. Something is going to happen, but I can stop it.' Yeah, you can stop it by shutting the fuck up.

'Pinetree, if you don't give me control, someone is going to get hurt.' No Bill, that's what's going to happen if I do give you control.

'I know I've tricked you before, but this isn't a trick-' And how am I supposed to trust that? Did you really think I would just immediately trust you? After everything you've done to us, did you think I would just casually hand over my body? Fuck you.

'Stop being so-' he sighed 'Fine. Have it your way. Don't come crying to me when Gideon appears and kills you all.' And on cue, there was a loud rumbling sound. Everyone looked around trying to figure out where it was coming from. I looked out the window to see the sky turn bright red. Then me, Mabel, Stan, Ford, Wendy, and Soos levitated out of our chairs.

"This isn't normal, is it?!" Olive yelled. A glowing portal looking thing opened and we floated towards it.

"What's going on?!" "Why are we flying?!" "What the hell is this?!" Everyone started yelling as we got closer to the portal, and then pulled inside.
