Dipper's POV:

It had been a relaxing week, besides work, and everyone was in a better relationship with Bill. Ford had sucked up his pride and asked Bill some questions about how he made Earth, religious questions, or help with his studies. Stan and Bill had become closer because of their humor and Stan liked to challenge Bill to games like checkers (he ever let him win some games). Mabel and Bill worked on arts and crafts together, that and Bill could get Mabel literally any materials she needed. Me and Bill have spent more time together than with anyone else for obvious reasons, we are dating and I'm in what Bill calls 'Little Land'. I love it, it's such a cute name! .... Now I see it. He had been dressing me in pastels and more feminine clothes, and I really like them.

I woke up today feeling like I came out of a stupor. I was thinking about what today would be like, I had more energy today than usual. Maybe we could practice some magic and Mabel and I could spar! Wait a minute..... Sparing, that's something I haven't thought about all week. Oh, did I....? Yes! I think I did! I'm out of Little Land, I'm free! I can go back to normal now! Ah, mysteries, it's good to be back! I get up excitedly and start to get ready for today.

I look through the closet where Bill had been putting my feminine clothes after he magically washed them. I chose a thin sweater with a color close to my aura, just without the sparkles, and some black leggings. I also put on some comfy black flats and my never-dying flower crown. I went to the bathroom where I tried to tame my wild hair, and failed, and brushed my teeth. I looked in the mirror and nodded in approval. I stopped at my collar bone, which sported a pine tree necklace in the color of my aura (from the Christmas Special Part 2), and smiled fondly at the gift from Bill. I walked back out of the bathroom in time to see Bill just waking up from his slumber. "Pinetree? Why are you up so early, you don't usual wake up before me." he asked in confusion. "Let's just say I took the train from Little Land to Teenage Town last night." I replied smiling. He looked shocked but came up to me smiling and said "Welcome back." before hugging me. He gave me a kiss on the forehead and went to get ready himself. He started to get used to doing mundane things, also a reason Ford warmed up to him, he didn't overly use his magic.

I sat on the bed and thought of the last week over again. It was a little fuzzy from being in a Little state, but I nothing was missing. I used to not be able to remember when I went into Little Land, so I just assumed I had some memory loss problems until I grew older and remembered more from then, just really fuzzy. Now I remember everything with only a little fuzz, and I took full advantage of this to study myself. To put it in a few, simple words, I was a lazy ass who looked like a childish flower child. Nothing to be ashamed of, I liked the flower child part, I just wish I could have improved on my magic. I have never been more into anything than I am with magic, not even mysteries could compare to learning magic and spells. While I spaced out practicing spells and incantations in my head, Bill finished getting ready and had to shake me out of it. "Ready to go downstairs Pinetree?" he asked me. I nodded and placed my feet a few inches above the ground and started to walk down the stairs with Bill at my side.

We came down stairs where Bill and I started to make Biscuits and Gravy. Soon everyone filed in, in their usual order and had questioning looks at us. When we finished I had two plates and Bill had two plate as well with another floating next to him. We set them down in front of everyone, Bill grabbing his plate out of the air, and started to eat. It was silent for awhile, only slightly awkward, before Mabel asked "So why were you making breakfast? Bill usually does it." She wasn't being mean about my cooking, I was one of the best cookers in the family, she just means that I usually sat at the table making light conversation because I was still a little tired in the mornings. "Oh, I'm back." I simply stated. "When did you leave?" she asked curiously. "I mean I'm back Mabel. You know magical, mystery loving, spar partner Dipper." I said to her. Her eyebrows rose for a second and then lowered, her lips shifting into a smile, "Well then, welcome back." I looked at my Gruncles to see them slightly smiling in relief as well, I guess they didn't like Little Land that much. Especially Gruncle Stan, I had to take over sweeping and Bill worked the register. Glad that happened though, Bill scammed people into buying more and that strengthened his relationship with Stan.
