Monster Hunts and Dates (Dipper Pines X Reader)

9- Misunderstandings

      Y/n's POV
I backed up a step as Dipper continued approaching. "Y/n, what's wrong?" Dipper cooed, stepping cautiously. "We need to shut it down," I whispered, too low for Dipper to hear. I myself had barely heard my voice. "What?" Dipper asked, stopping. "We need to shut this portal down!" I said, a little louder. Dipper stepped back, surprised. "Why?" he asked, regaining himself. "Why? WHY?! BECAUSE WE COULD KILL EVERYONE ON THIS PLANET! WE'RE BEING TRICKED!" I screamed. "I thought you wanted to save Mabel though," he frowned. I sighed. "I do, but your Great Uncle Ford's note on the pages of the blueprints-" I said, but Dipper cut me off. "Okay, that makes sense now. Ford was tricked by Bill and that hidden note was how he was almost going to be stranded in that portal longer," he answered. "Why didn't you tell me that?" I asked. "Because it wasn't too big of a deal. When I found that, I was ready to shut it down. Would you have helped me if I included that part in my explanation?" he asked.

I stood there in silence for a few minutes. "See? I need to help my sister out of whatever she's going through!" Dipper exclaimed. I sighed. He always has me there. "How can we prevent a rift?" I asked. "I don't know. Maybe we can keep it a secret. He can't get in with the unicorn hair up," Dipper shrugged. "Now, where does the toxic waste go?" he asked, getting the barrel. "In that hatch," I replied, nodding towards the hatch at the control panel.

"Could you go get the next barrel?" Dipper asked, pouring in the toxic waste. I nodded and headed to the elevator, grabbing a pair of gloves. When I opened the vending machine, the old gift shop floor couldn't even be seen with all the barrels. I sighed and slipped on the gloves, grabbing a barrel. I lifted it up just enough to take it to the machine and placed it in the elevator, sending it down. I went back up and grabbed the next barrel, repeating the process until all were down in the basement. I went down with the final barrel and the elevator opened to reveal the floor littered with empty barrels and the occasional toxic waste puddles, growing larger by each dripping barrel.

"Hey Dipper," I waved, setting down the last barrel. "Hey y/n," he replied, still focused on the barrel. "This everything we need?" I asked, walking up behind him. "Pretty much. The portal should be active by tomorrow night, but the town's having a huge party tomorrow," he said. "What's that have to do with anything?" I ask. "Everything. We don't wanna attract attention on why we're the only ones not there, so we gotta attend," he explained. "What time is it over?" I ask. "Around the same time the portal finishes charging. Oh, and there are gonna be some gravity anomalies, so I need you to play it cool to keep the townsfolk from catching on," he added.

"Well, we may wanna hit the hay! Portal's all ready for tomorrow and we gotta get into town at noon," Dipper said after about five minutes of silence. "Okay," I responded, heading towards the elevator. Once I turned to face the room, Dipper was looking at the portal. "You coming?" I asked, leaning my head out of the elevator. "In a little. Get some sleep," he said, waving me off. I shrugged it off and hit the button, heading back to the gift shop and into my room. I slipped off my dirty and torn clothes, pulling on a big tee shirt and fuzzy f/c pajama pants, slipping under the covers. I closed my eyes an drifted off to my Mindscape.

Dipper's POV
Once I heard the elevator leave, I stepped inside the portal room. I was greeted with the familiar hum of the portal. I smiled to myself. "Hang in there Mabel." I watched the portal, imagining the day the author came out of the portal. After a while, I finally left the portal room and entered the elevator, stepping back into the gift shop. I headed down the secret hallway and made it to Ford's old bedroom. I opened the door slightly, finding y/n sleeping under her blanket. I smiled to myself and watched the rising and falling of her chest for a little bit. We can get through this I thought to myself. I closed the door as quietly as I could and headed to my room. Slipping off my shoes, I climbed into bed and drifted to my Mindscape.

Bill's POV
I tried to get through the protection again, but it wasn't going to work this time. Instead, I floated to a nearby tree and leaned back, changing into my human form. The transformation on y/n would be finished soon enough. It took a few days for it to happen to Pine Tree after his tattoo. I grinned to myself. "Soon enough," I muttered happily. "Sweet dreams..."
