Endsville Falls

Chapter Two

"Bye Mom! Bye Dad!"

Billy waved to his parents as he boarded the bus. Before he entered it however, he noticed Mandy and Grim at the side of his view. He dropped his luggage and dashed into Grim's arms.

"Yeah, yeah, boy. You're acting like you'll never see us again. Relax." He finally pushed the clingy child off of him. "Now get off of me! You're ruining me new robe!"

Billy gave an awkward smile. "Oopsie." He went to Mandy's direction to give her a farewell cuddle as well.

"So help me Billy, if you dare lay a finger on me, you'll regret it!"

He ignored her threat and gave her a gigantic hug anyway. "I'll miss you most of all Mandy!" His voice almost sounded as if he was about to cry. "I promises to calls you everyday!"

Mandy rolled her eyes. "Whatever. It's not even that long." But she knew that was a lie. To be honest, this was the first that they have ever been separated for this long, even since they were in elementary school. Sure, Billy went to summer camp once, but that was only three months. It felt weird that she was going to have her first year of high school without him.

After a while, Mandy finally came back to her senses and knocked him off of her with a swift punch in the gut. "I warned you not to touch me!"

Billy got up like nothing had happened at all, and brushed off his clothing. "My bad!"

"Billy, I swear, you're way too passive aggressive. You need to learn how to stand up for yourself because I won't be able to." She sighed.

"Okay Mands!" Billy jumped as he heard the bus honk loudly, which startled him. "Well, it looks like I gots ta go! See you..." He paused when he finally took in that he wasn't going to see his best friend for almost a whole year. But for him it seemed to be even longer than that.

Not finishing what he had to say, all he did was wave as he picked up his luggage and dragged it into the bus with tears swelling up in his eyes. He didn't say a single word, not even turning around to see them for the last time.

"Bye..." He muttered as he sat down and the bus engine started. Goodbye Endville, hello Piedmont.

"Goodbye Mabel..." Dipper whispered sadly as she watched Mabel chasing after the moving vehicle and waving, even though she was out of view because of how fast it was traveling compared to her. This was the last time he was going to see his sister for a while.
