   Dipper's POV

   "Hey Grunkle Stan, Great Uncle Ford, I'm going out to get some groceries okay?!" Dipper shouted into the shack. "Okay kid, be safe!" Stanley replied. "Bill, do you wanna come with me?.." I asked him. He sat in an old chair at the kitchen table, with his feet propped up onto the back of another chair. For once he seemed very intrigued by a book. "I would Pine Tree, but I'd like to finish this in the next few hours. Bill had only just started reading the book a few minutes prior, but whatever book it was it must've really been his taste. "Can't you like, read it on the way, or just put a piece of paper in it to hold your place?" I complained. "No can do, kiddo. This book allows no breaks!" Bill insisted. "Ugh fine I'll go alone. I'll- miss you... I guess..." I leaned over and kisses his cheeks, then proceeded to walk out the door.

   Dipper sighed deeply as he walked out of the shack. He began to kick pebbles and stones along the gravel path, and down the street to cure his boredom. Dipper had his eyes focused on the ground straight below him, unaware of his surroundings. "Agh!" Dipper fell onto the hard concrete with a shriek. He then looked up to find a tall muscular man with many tattoos. "Ey kid. Watch where you're going!" The man leaned down and grabbed Dipper, pulling him up by the collar of his shirt. "I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! Please forgive me!" Dipper apologized repeatedly but the man didn't seem to care. "Yeah... You will be sorry." The man threw the adolescent onto the ground. Two other men appeared from behind the first man that assaulted the boy. They then began to kick at Dipper and punch him repeatedly, causing him to bleed. Dipper cried, however no one seemed to notice the conflict occurring in the streets of the strange town. The men dragged Dipper into a dark alley way and left him there.

   TIME SKIP - Bill's POV
  
    I finally finished that dumb book Pine Tree wanted me to read. Honestly, who cares about a princess with a magic wand and her Spanish side kick anyways? At least I was doing something to make him happy. "Ey 6 fingers, can you come up here for a minute?!" I shouted into the basement. "Not right now Cipher, I'm working on something." He yelled back up at me. I scoffed. "Well maybe Dipper's thinking about me because he cares about me more." I murmured. I then entered the boys mindscape. "Woah Piney what happened in here, it's a lot less... Decorated?" I yelled out. He didn't respond. "Pine Tree don't ignore me, love." I said. "Dipper." He still didn't seem to respond. "Dipper... Dipper?" I repeatedly called out his name but his mindscape was empty. "Fuck. What's wrong???" I yelled. I then left his mindscape, adjusted my bow tie, and teleported to his location. "Woah what's up with the creepy alleyway Pine Tre-" I froze. There he was. His crippled gory body lying next to a dumpster. He occasionally coughed, but other than that he was practically motionless. "Dipper!" I shouted. I repeatedly shook him back and forth, but it only seemed to make the situation worse. "Um um um... FORD!" I picked him up bridal style and teleported him back to the shack. "FORD! FORD!!" I cried. I placed Dipper on the floor and wiped my eyes. I began to kiss him repeatedly in hopes he'd wake up. Ford came running up the stairs. He stood there in awe. His eyes began to water as he knelt down onto the wooden floor and began giving the boy CPR. "Bill call the ambulance!" He shouted at me aggressively. "HOW?" I screamed. "GRR! Let me do it! You just keep an eye on him and make sure he's still breathing!" He growled. He then picked up a strange device and started pressing buttons. "Hello, my name is Ford and I have an emergency. Just now my... Friend came into my house with my great nephew. He's all bruised and bloody, and my friend doesn't know what happened. We are located at the Mystery Shack in Gravity Falls." He yelled at the phone. A strange voice came out of the box. He set it down and began giving Dipper CPR again. "Dipper. If you die, I just want you to know I love you." I moved Ford's hands and laid my head on his chest. His heart beat was slow and steady, and relaxing. "Hang on Piney... Please..."
