Since You've Been Gone (dipper x bill)

Chapter 2: An Old Foe

Dipper woke up and yawned. He ruffled his hair and put his hat on. He stretched and hopped out of bed. He was super excited, he wanted to go explore outside, and see if anything had changed.

He raced down stairs and ran towards the door. "Woah! Hold on kid, where are you in a rush to?" Grunkled Stan said. Dipper turned around to face him. "I'm going to walk around outside, see if anything has changed" he told him.

"Well don't you want breakfast first?" Grunkle Ford chimed in, with Mabel holding out a plate to him. Dipper shook his head. "No I'm not hungry right now, save some for me though!" He said shutting the door behind him.

"Okay where should I go first?" He said to himself. He felt something tug at his shoe. "Wha-" he said looking down. Waddles scrunched up his nose and looked up at Dipper. "Oh waddles! Were you outside the whole time?! I'm sorry!" He said leaning down to pet waddles.

"To make it up to you, you can tag along with me, I'm sure Mabel wouldn't mind" he said and Waddles squealed. "Alright! Let's go!" He said marching off.

"Hmm, let's go this way" he said rubbing his chin, then pointing left. "Jeez I used to know every route to this forest... " he sat down on a rock and stared at the ground. Waddles sat next to him.

"It's seems like nothing has changed... Except for me" he sighed. Waddles comforted him squeezing up under his arm. He smiled at Waddles and petted him. Dipper took his map out of his pocket. "Well this map is marked by landmarks.... And I'm not anywhere near a landmark"

"That's great, we're lost!" He said taking off his hat, running his fingers through his hair. Waddles got distracted by a butterfly and began to follow it. Dipper saw Waddles go around a tree and disappear.

"Waddles! Where are you going?!" He said getting up, running after him. He rounded the tree and saw a whole other path. He raised his eyebrow and began to follow it. "Waddles! Where did you go?!" He called out.

He looked around, trees surrounded him. He saw pink out of the corner of his eye. "Waddles!  Wait! Come back!" He shouted running after the pig, but tripped and hit the ground. He sat up and rubbed his head. "Ow, that's gonna leave a mark" he said.

He looked up and saw a huge statue. He stood up and his eyes widened. The statue was a shape of a triangle, and it gave Dipper the chills. "This is a statue of Bill..." He said running his fingers along the side.

He circled the statue, then took out his pocket knife and began engraving his name into the stone. "Dipper is awesome" it read. He stood back and giggled at his stupidity.

"Don't you know it's against the law, to vandalize someone's property?" A voice called out. Dipper jumped and looked around. "W-Who's there?!" He said holding onto his knife. "What you don't recognize my voice?" It said.

Dipper shifted, realizing the voice sounded familiar. "S-show yourself!" Dipper shouted. "As you wish" the voice chimed. A figure appeared on the statue, sitting with it's legs crossed holding a staff.

Dipper titled his head and looked at it. It appeared to be male. The figure had blonde hair that faded into brown at the bottom. It wore and eye patch, and a yellow suit and black pants. There was a black bow tie around his neck, and a top hat floated above his head.

Dipper held his knife tighter. "W-who are you?" The figure frowned. "You still don't remember me? I'm disappointed Pine Tree" he said with a smirk on his face. Dipper's eyes widened at the mention of those words.

"Pine Tree?" He thought. "There's only one person I know who called me that..." He looked at the statue and back at the figure. "N-no way..." He said dropping his pocket knife. The figure smiled and got off the statue and began walking towards him.

"So you remember now?!" He chimed. Dipper backed up. "B-Bill? How are you back? And you body..." Dipper said in shock. Bill smirked. "Let's just say I still have a few tricks up my sleeve" he said looking at Dipper.

"Well don't just stand there, come greet your old friend!" Bill said opening up his arms for a hug. Dipper looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "Friend? Friend?!" He shouted.

Bill looked at him confused and nodded. Dipper's eyebrows furrowed and he started walking towards Bill. "You call yourself my friend, when you tried to kill me, and my family! Not to mention you tried to take over Gravity Falls!" He yelled causing Bill to step back.

Bill sighed. "Oh yes... Those days are far behind me". Dipper titled his head. Bill looked up at him and reached out, offering to shake Dipper's hand. "I would like a do-over" he said smiling at him.

This just made Dipper even more raged. "A do-over?! Nothing can ever re-do the damaged you caused!" Dipper yelled at him. "If anything, you need to apologize!" Dipper said tearing up. Bill raised his eyebrows in shock. He nodded and took a breath.

"Dipper Pines, I am truly sorry, for trying to destroy and take over Gravity Falls, I am sorry I tortured you and your friends, I am truly a monster... Will you forgive me?" Bill said looking Dipper in the eye.

Dipper looked at Bill in surprise. Bill had a reassuring look, and soft smile. Dipper blushed. "I-um, even if I was to forgive you, how do I know you're not lying!" He said his voice increasing in volume.

"How am I supposed to know if you've actually changed!" He shouted, a tear rolling down his cheek. Bill looked at Dipper and began to walk towards him. Dipper titled his head and stared at him. Bill stood in front of him and  cupped Dipper's chin in one hand and pushed his lips against his.

Dipper's eyes widened and he pulled away. "Wha- what was that f-for?!" He stuttered, wiping his mouth. Bill chuckled. "Is that enough proof?" He asked. Dipper looked at him and blushed.

Bill pressed his forehead against Dipper's. "Am I forgiven?" He asked. Dipper blushed harder and adverted his eyes, not saying anything. Bill backed away and straightened his posture. "I'll take that as a yes" he said.

He looked at Dipper. "Come visit me here, tomorrow at night, I get lonely all by myself" he said turning to walk away. "Oh, and don't tell anyone about this... I've been keeping a low profile" he winked and walked off further into the trees.
