I couldnt sleep. I wanted to solve the mysteries about those fancy lights. But i just couldnt figure it out. It wasnt fair. My brain just shut off.

"Mabel.." I said.
"What up, Dipping Sauce?"
"Uh.. Well since we started coming here, ive been seeing yellow flashes in the clouds. Have you seen those?"
"I have never in my entire life, seen anything like that."
"Can i just tell you that i was sitting by the river yesterday and i met a man wearing a yellow suit. We talked, then when he left, i saw those lights again. They formed some shapes, then the shape of a triangle and then an... Eye. Look what happened in the journal!" I showed her the journal page with the triangle and eye and she looked shocked.
"Hey... That wasnt there before!" She said.
"Yeah. I was confused too. But i did write some notes, and you could look at them if you want."
I handed her my notes. She looked distinctly at my note about that man.
Well, if he has a yellow tailcoat then he has to be from some kind of expensive unicorn land."
"Mabel, he also called me.. Cute? What IS cute exactly?"
"Well dipper there are different types of cute. You are cute. Not like get all the ladies cute, not that you dont nowadays but like.. Youre peanut cute. Cute like all the old people want to put you in their pocket. A pocket dipper. "
"That seems like good information. Thanks mabel. And im manly. Not cute."
"Yeah yeah go do something else, cutie pie"
I laughed at the cutie pie comment.

After dinner i headed out early. I looked up into the clouds and the lights. There were blue and yellow lights this time. They bumped into each other making... Red? Last time i checked yellow and blue made green. Oh well. I walked to the river and saw the same man as i did yesterday, only this time he had blood stains all along the arms and back of his suit. A black eye, a scar across his nose, and he was crying.
He looked up at me.
"Yeah hey kid. Told ya id be here." He wasnt enthusiastic like the day before.
"What happened? Why are you all hurt?" I said with a worried tone in my voice. I was concerned.
"Ok Pine Tree, i know this sounds crazy and you wont believe me but, i can read your mind. I can see what you are thinking. I appreciate your concern. I also know that you have been thinking alot about those cloud lights. Watch this."
He shot up into the air shaking the ground and tipping me over. Then i saw them. The cloud lights. THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE!! Then they wrote a note in the sky.

Hey, Pine Tree. You will believe me, wont you?

I nodded my head. The note continued.

Dont worry, im not hurt as bad as you think, just a few war scratches from a battle i just had. But i have been watching you your entire life. You see, i am a dream demon. I am those lights. I am the triangle.

The triangle came up in the lights only this time, it had arms and legs. I looked at the journal and the full picture was there with bills name at the top. I was speechless. I could see a connection between bill and the lights. I tried to run away but then Bill came down and grabbed my shoulder.
"Dont go, dipper. I would love to talk to you. Ill tell you everything now. Watch." He said and he stood up, spun around once and he was a cute little triangle character. But he spun around again and he was back to normal.
"......wow, this answers everything. Ive wondered what those lights were for 5 years now. Why did you wait until now to introduce yourself?"
"You were too young then. You are practically an adult now. You can handle big events like this. Believe me, this is not easy for me. ...... Ok the real reason was that i was scared of what you would think. I mean," he looked me up and down. "You got that... Thing." He was definitely nervous. He sat back down, took off his hat, and he rested his head on my shoulder, then he started crying.
"Thanks for listening to me Dipper." The thought of him saying my real name was something i wasnt used to. Im still shocked about what hes wearing. Friends with a demon.. That took a long time to get used to.
"No.. Problem."
"We can be friends, right?"
"Well of course we can.. bu--"
I was cut off by him hugging me and saying thank you over and over. He must not have very many friends.
' I could get used to this' i thought. I blushed a little at how long he was grabbing me.
He did the same thing as yesterday by saying
"Youre cute. See ya tomorrow Pine Tree."
I felt satisfied yet kind of afraid that all of my questions were answered in one sitting. Well at least they were answered. Some i wish i didnt know the answer to but its ok. I think ill survive
