*Ding*

We walk into the 'Diner' I think Tad called it. He led me to a booth in the far corner next to a window, he seated himself across from me.

I choose to look out the window and there sat on the windowsill, a lonely, white dove. As it sat there I began to ponder on our conversation from earlier.

🌙

"Hey......Tad?" I asked

"Yes" he stopped walking

"H-How long have I been...asleep" I whispered so quietly I barely heard myself .

He turned to face me, all traces of a smile gone "7 years"

I stood there stunned. It hadn't seemed that long, granted there was nothing to determine the passage of time, but I definitely wasn't expecting this.

".......I-I u-um...." I nervously laughed. How could I be gone for so long?

I could feel my body begin to shake. Panicked thoughts entered my mind.
How could I have left Tad ALONE. I'm a HORRIBLE Brother.
My breathing quickened. A strange and dare I say scary feeling began to grow in the pit of my stomach, was this new feeling guilt?

Guilt for being so foolish?Guilt for leaving my only BROTHER alone. To Force him to face his own troubling sanity ALONE.

Tad calmly walked over. "Shh, shh" he whispered softly as he wrapped his left arm around me. "I have forgiven you, but know that if you do something like that again. I will find you and kill you." his voice grew a 'dark' tone.

"heh. I forgot how scary you can be sometimes" I chuckled

🌙

Movement caught my attention and snapped me out of my thoughts. It was another dove, which had flown over to perch with the first dove. They sat close together and seemed happy with each others company.

*DING*

I heard the bell above the door go off, a few familiar voices arguing

"Come on Grunkle Stan, you can spare a bit of money for lunch today" an energetic female voice pleaded

"Yeah, we could always pay you back later" a dorky male voice backed her up

I turned around to see the Pines family at the entrance of the diner, the younger twin's backs facing me as they talked to the older set.

Shooting Star quickly turned around and said something to Lazy Susan, whom was bringing a tray of food out of the kitchen "I'll be right with ya'll in a moment got to bring some fellas there food"

Lazy Susan brought the tray over to our table and placed the items from the tray onto the table. I could only assume Tad had ordered for me while I was lost in thought.

This drew the attention of Shooting Star to our table. Who happily walked over. "Hi Tad! It's been awhile! Is this a friend of yours?" she greeted smiling

"It sure has. And this is my brother, he just moved here"Tad replied using his weird 'normal' voice

"I didn't know you had a brother!" She holds a hand out for me to shake "Welcome to Gravity Falls, I'm Mabel, and I really hope you enjoy it here" she stated cheerfully

I shook her hand "Thank you, my name is Bilal, but you can just call me Bill" I replied

Tad sent me a glare, I sent a teasing smile back.

"Mabel it's time to come sit down, the food has arrived" a voice cut in

The voice belonged to......wow, the young man that had spoken walks over gracefully

His eyes are an oak brown that were swimming with curiosity.
He had a small button nose, and a roundish face. Suspiciously Identical to shooting star's.

I could feel my heartbeat quickening, and my cheeks were warming up. I felt almost jittery, kind of like I was nervous

He had a head full of soft, brown hair with a blue and white hat sitting on top of his hea-....wait.

I know that hat from somewhere. blue with the front half white and a blue symbol that looked like a pinetr-

"Sorry,Dipdot. I was talking with Tad's Brother. Bilal"

"I Didn't know he had a brother" He responded turning towards me.

Pinetree. Dipper freakin' Pines was Drop Dead Gorgeous.

After looking at me, he seemed to freeze. I could feel my cheeks heat up more and quickly looked away.....WHAT THE HELL?!?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!?!

"Ahem.Well it sure is swell to see you again Dipper" Tad said tearing me from my thoughts again

"Oh, uh yeah, i-it is nice seeing you agai-in Tad" Pinetree stuttered.

I couldn't stop my thoughts from thinking that was adorable! I bite my lip and tried to focus on something else, floating baby heads, making bets, his lovely figure. How his clothes showed his curves and- Wait. NoNoNonoNoNo! Bad! Bad thoughts!

"Dipper I'd like you to meet my younger brother, Bilal. Bilal meet Dipper Pines" Tad stated. For a second I caught a glimpse of him smiling smugly out of the corner of my eye

I hesitated while taking a deep breath, before facing back towards Pinetree. I slowly raise my hand and wave at him. Trying to avoid getting lost in his eyes.

"Um..H-Hi" my mouth didn't seem to be working right

Pinetree awkwardly waves back.

"Kids your food is getting cold" Sixer yells from another booth "It's fine Stanford I'll eat it." Fez offered

"NOOOOO, NOT MY WAFFLES!" Shooting star cried as she ran towards their booth, dragging Pine tree with her. "Nice seeing you two again." Tad said as they left

Once out of earshot I turned to Tad, gripping both his arms tightly and started shaking him. "WHAT IS GOING ON WITH ME TAD!? I'M FEELING THINGS, MAKE IT STOP!?" I practically screamed at him.

He started giving me a Cheshire smile. "It can't be stopped, all you can do is allow it to grow" he replied cryptically

"That's not helpful. Will you at least give me some kind of advice?"

"...What I have read from human novels is that the best thing to do is follow your heart"Tad said thoughtfully

"That doesn't help either" I grumble
As I grab my shake Tad had ordered for me and angrily sipped from it
