The following day brings a heatwave, and Dipper and Mabel decide to play with squirt guns to try to cool off. Mabel squirts her gun at Dipper, hitting him right in the stomach. "Gotchya!"
Dipper returns with a shot to her back as she turns to refill. "Ha!" He yells, ducking behind a tree so she can't get him back.
"No fair!" Laughs Mabel, looking around for her brother.
Dipper doesn't respond, as his attention is on something else. A teen, seemingly around the same age as Dipper, is walking around in the woods. Isn't the Shack closed today? Thinks Dipper, stepping into the forest to get a closer look at him.
The teen is wearing a yellow button-up and a black sweater-vest, with a black bow-tie around his neck. His shaggy blonde hair flows over his right eye, which is covered by an eye patch. He has black jeans and black boots on, and a small clip-on top hat. Who is that? Dipper wonders.
Suddenly, Mabel jumps from around the tree. "There you are!" She exclaims, emptying her squirter onto Dipper and running away.
"Hey!" Laughs Dipper, chasing after her, forgetting about the teen for the moment.

Later that day, after the water fight had gotten boring, Dipper was walking through the forest again, the shade not doing quite enough to cool him off. But the heat didn't matter to him right now, he wanted to see if the stranger was still out here.
Indeed he was, for not 5 minutes later, Dipper saw him just 30 feet away. "Hello?" He called, but the teen didn't seem to notice, "Hello?" He repeated, a bit louder.
"Yes?" Replied the teen, catching eye contact with Dipper. A soft smile fades onto his face as he steps closer.
Dipper freezes for half a second, then awkwardly returns a smile. "Are you new in Gravity Falls? I haven't seen you before," He says, "My name is Dipper."
The stranger shrugs. "Not quite. It's just been a few years since I've been here," He pauses. "My name is William C."
"Well then it's nice to meet you, William," Dipper responds, as he thinks, I'm sure I've never seen him, but he does look sort of familiar... He waves the thought away from his mind, adding, "Would you like something to drink? I could get you a Pit Cola from the Shack it's right ov-"
William raises a hand, cutting him off, "Thank you for the offer, but I should head home. My brother is waiting for me so I can make dinner. I'll be back in the forest another day, though."
"Oh, alright. I guess I'll see you later." Dipper says, waving to him as they both part ways.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later that night, Dipper is in his bed, writing in his journal. His hair was so cute! Dipper thinks, then catches himself. What the hell did I just think?
Dipper returns to the journal, but a little while later he catches himself thinking of William again. What is up with me? Oh... Dipper comes to a sudden realization that these thoughts are all the same things he used to think about Wendy. I am not gay though... He thinks to himself
At almost midnight, he closes the journal, knowing that he's thinking too much of William to get any work done. Could... could I be bi? He wonders, laying there for a while.
