Dipper's POV:
I woke up like I do everyday. Man, my life is repetitive. I do my usual schedule and go downstairs to make omelets today. (I don't even like eggs so..? Don't judge, I see you judging over there!) It was the same old stuff until Ford came upstairs so I made another omelet for him. He thanked me in sign language, which he already knew before my condition. I smiled at him and signed your welcome. He knew it made me happy when he spoke to me in sign language. We all ate for the first time in awhile. I guess a lot of things are changing now. Ford looks at me when I finish eating and signed to me, "I need to talk to you in the lab." I see the seriousness in his eyes and nod at him. He walks to the vending machine and punches in the code and waits for it to open.
When we arrive he gestures for me to to have a seat and he sits in one opposite to me. He looks at me and starts talking "I would sign right now but that would take a while." I nod for him to continue. " I've been looking at the weirdness scale carefully two years after Bill left. It's been mostly the same except for a few spikes that I checked up on. Just yesterday there was a humongous spike a little over half of the weirdness that happened during Weirdmageddon." I knew what happened, I think, but feigned surprise. He nodded and said, "I was extremely shocked as well about a spike of that magnitude. I want to go check it out, but I want you to come with me. I only need one thing of you." I stiffened because I knew what he needed but let him continue in hopes I was wrong. I wasn't, "I need you to call out to me if you find something. I need you to be willing to talk." I debated it for a few minutes while Ford waited patiently, he knew what he was asking of me. I slowly nodded and signed, "I will, but before we do that I need to practice for a little. I'm a little rusty and my voice would be scratchy." Ford nodded and said "That's fine, do what you need." I nodded and cleared my throat before saying "T-T-Thanksss F-F-Fooord," He smiled at me encouragingly so I continued, "w-w-wooow! I-It's beeeen s-s-so looong." I coughed again, "I-I'm reeaaly e-excited for thiis." He simply says, "good job getting over your fears. Let's get you some water and leave." I say "o-ok."
We go back upstairs and Ford hands me a glass of water to help my throat adjust to it's sudden use. I accept it graciously and down it in one go and say, "T-thanks Ford. That really heelped." "your welcome Dipper. Now lets go investigate." I nod and we start out trek into the forest. Ford takes out his portable Weirdness scale and turns it on. It has a compass to let us know where it starts to get weirder. We travel for around twenty minutes when the thing stops moving and point straight into a clearing. I turn to Ford and say "I'll see if there's something off in there." Ford nods and looks back to me, "Be careful." I nod and take a breath in and out before entering the clearing. As soon as I pass an invisible border I see a cabin. That's weird. I guess that's why it brought us here anyways. I thought. I walk closer to the house and knock on the door. Ford asks what I'm doing and I just wave him off and gesture to give me a minute.
The door opens and I'm shocked to see Bill there. Well, not that shocked. He says, "Wow, I didn't know you were so desperate to see me that you would go looking for me Pinetree~" I roll my eyes and think "Can me and him come in or what?" He seems confused on who I meant by him but looks behind me and scowls. He says "You can come in but he can't" He says with venom laced in his song like voice. snap out of it! I say to myself but he heard it anyways. "Aww~ Thanks Pinetree! That means so much coming from you~" He said it with a flirty tone, which I was not amused by. "Well, Ford will probably freak when I suddenly disappear with the vision barrier you put on the house. He probably is freaking out now, because I'm not moving or talking." I think to him. As if on cue Ford shouts, "Dipper, I'm coming in now!" I look at Bill mischievously, "Better think of something fast." He is surprised and reacts too late. Ford has passed the invisible barrier and looks at Bill and the cabin in shock."
