Hope for the Future (Dipper x Reader x Bill)

2 truths and a lie... more like 3 lies.

The group slowly made their way back to the Mystery shack, and Dipper began to pick your brain, asking questions about Bill.

"Alright (Y/n), so what deal did you make with Bill?" He asked you, arching a brow.

You opened your mouth again to speak, but found no words exiting your mouth.  At least, no words that you wanted.  "I didn't make a deal with Bill, in fact it's rude if you to assume things like that."

Dipper sighed in exasperation and turned to his sister, rubbing his temples. "Mabel, you try."

The perky girl clapped her hands together and nodded. "Alright! There's no way that she'll be able to lie to me. It's just girl code, ya know?" Dipper simply rolled his eyes in response. "In any case, do you have a crush on Bill, (Y/N)?"

You froze in your step, looking to Dipper pleadingly for help. "Mabel," he hissed in annoyance, elbowing her. She shouted in protest, but was once again cut off by her brother. "Oh look, there's the Mystery Shack!" He so kindly said, helping you to avoid the question.

"Great, let's hurry." Grabbing Dipper's hand you took off in a run, wanting to remove this damned curse as fast as possible.

The three of you entered the shack rather loudly. "Ford!!" Dipper shouted. He walked towards a vending machine and punched in a few numbers before the door swung wide open. You just stood there dumbstruck, they had a secret basement in their home? Huh, these people were weirder than you had originally thought. "We have a bit of a problem!" The tone of your friend's voice was more urgent than usual. Was this Bill guy really that bad?

A floof of grey hair emerged from the basement, followed by the rest of Ford. "A problem?" He asked, stepping into the Shack, "What type of problem."

At this time, Mabel decided to at her input. "A three sided one," she answered, holding a triangle to her eye.

A hearty laugh escaped Ford and he placed a firm hand on Dipper's shoulder, "you kids and your pranks." He spoke, a bright smile on his face. Eyes scanning the room, the smile fell. "Oh... you guys are being serious. But that's impossible, we erased Cipher with the memory gun."

Bill had forced you to say only nice things about him, but surely the story of how you released him didn't count. "We were exploring the woods," you began. "And we came across a statue of the triangle guy. I tripped or something, and my hand landed in his outstretched one. I didn't mean to though, I swear."

"And now (Y/N) can only lie about what her and Bill talked about." Dipper explained.

Ford's mouth opened as if he was going to say something, but then he quickly closed it. He scratched his head and straightened his glasses, "If Bill is loose that can't mean anything good for us. We'll need to protext the shack again, since the protection on it was destroyed in weidmageddon. As for you Miss (Y/N), I'm afraid you'll need to stay will us for a bit."

Dipper nodded in agreement, "Mabel and I will go find the unicorns again. There's space in our room for an air matress if that's ok with you (Y/N)"

Your eyes widened in confusion and you looked between the group. "Can someone please explain what's going on and who this Bill guy is!" You exclaimed. Everything had been happening so quickly and nobody was giving you time to process it. You had literally just arrived in this town and now were a victim in some random guy's plan. At the least, you deserved an explanation.

So the Pines sat you down and explained everything. Starting from when Bill invaded Stan's mind, and ending when they erased him from existence, or at least, when they thought they had.

"I think I kind of understand now," you muttered softly. "But I just need a bit more time to process."

Mabel nodded and gently grabbed your hand, giving you a reassuring smile. "Don't worry (N/n)! Everything will be sorted out soon enough!"

"And we won't let Bill do anything to hurt you," Dipper chimed in. "Now, we've got work to do. You can go make yourself comfortable in our room (Y/n), Mabel and I aregoing to find a unicorn."

Nodding, you stood up from where you had been sitting. "Alright," you breathed, allowing everything to sink in. "I'll text Wendy and tell her what's happening."

"No!!!" Came the shout from Ford, Dipper, and Mabel.

Dipper gently grasped your shoulder and looked you in the eye. "Telling anyone about Bill will begin a widespread terror throughout Gravity Falls. No one can know, ok?"

"I-, yeah, alright. I'll just tell her I'm having a sleepover with Mabel then." You muttered, mostly to yourself.

"Sounds good, we'll see you in a bit! Our room is in the attic!" Mabel called, dragging her brother out the door. Dipper gave you an awkward wave and he was gone.

You turned, exlecting to see Ford somewhere, but it looked like he had already left. Taking a deep breath you pull out your phone, walking up the stairs and towards where you assumed the Pines twin's room was.

(Y/n): Hey red, Mabel and I are going to have a sleepover tonight, so I won't be home.

Wendy: What?! :((( but it's your first night here!

(Y/n): Yeah, I know. But I thought it'd be good to get to know the twins a bit better since I'll be at the Mystery Shack a lot.

Wendy: fiiiiiine, I'll see you tomorrow looser.

(Y/n): Ok, bye red!

Wendy: bye!!

Shoving the phone back into your pocket you looked around, grabbing a door handle. You slowly pushed it open and looked inside. One wall was covered in boy band posters, and the other with photos of different things connected by red string. You chuckled softly, this must be their room. Though, as you looked around, a splash of yellow caught your attention on one of the beds.

Quietly you moved over to what you assumed was Mabel's bed, and looked down, finding a sleeping human Bill. Or at least, you thought he was sleeping. You were proven wrong when his non-eyepatched eye opened, then quickly closed once it saw you.

"You!!!" You shouted angrily and grabbed his shirt, lifting him to a sitting position.

"I believe you're supposed to kiss me to wake me up. Not manhandle me. At least, that's how that one fairytale goes." He responded, a smirk on his face. "Anywho, how are you liking the deal we made toots?"
