A few weeks later, Billy appeared to be getting somewhat along with Fidds. At dinner one evening the demon had asked him a question "Fidds?" Billy asked from his little chair, Fidds sighed "What?" he grumbled, putting down his knife and fork "What did you do with Father at the studio?" Billy asked, Fidds looked confused "What do you mean?" the grumpy man asked, Dipper smiled "I think he's asking what your job was at the studio and where you worked with Grunkle Ford" the young adult said, Fidds picked at his dinner "I managed all the finances, money and stuff" Fidds said, Billy nodded "Sounds lame" the demon said, picking up his ink and sipping it. Fidds shook his head "It was fine, Stanford is my friend, we've been friends since college" Billy put his cup down "What's that?" he asked, Fidds grumbled again "It's a school, where you learn stuff" Billy nodded and reached up his arms to his Father "Down please" Billy asked, Stanford wiped his tiny fingers of all the grease and grime they had accumulated at dinner, before scooping him up and depositing him on the floor.
After dinner Stanford wandered down to the basement, sitting down at his desk, his book was almost completed, he'd be able to post it in the morning if he wasn't interrupted. He smiled as he pulled out an old drawing of Thaddeus, he was Billy best-friend in the cartoon, he had a puppy like personality and loved helping Billy on his adventures, alongside these two was Veronica, a sister and kind, she was always making sure the boys didn't get in to too much trouble but always ended up getting into trouble alongside the boys "Hmmm, I wonder?" he looked at the old tattered spell book, propped up on the bookshelf "Just one more"

Billy kicked his feet as he watched TV, using his soft toy like a seat. Dipper and Mabel were watching another weird game show and Billy liked them, even though he barely understood them "Are they winning?" Billy asked, Dipper shook his head "Nope!" Dipper answered, Billy giggled "They must not be very good then" Billy said, Mabel gave him some candy from her stash on the table.
The demon fell asleep later that evening, falling over onto his back as he fell off his soft toy, Dipper chuckled and picked him up, putting him to bed, making sure his stuffie was tucked in with him. Stanford was asleep at his desk when he reached the basement, hunched over a few pieces of paper and drooling onto the wooden surface. Dipper grabbed the blanket off the sofa and threw it over him, making sure he wouldn't freeze over night "Night Grunkle Ford, night Billy" Dipper said, closing the door softly behind him.

At breakfast the next morning Stanford had a grin on his face as he entered the kitchen, his hands in a ball, obviously holding something "I have a surprise for you Billy" Stanford said, Billy looked up at Stanford, ink around his mouth "What is it?" Mabel asked.
Stanford removed his hands to reveal a square, white except for his arms, legs, bowler hat and bow tie, he had one eye just like Billy and was looking rather shocked at the change of scenery "This, is Thaddeus, he's your new brother, be careful with him, he's still new" Stanford said, placing him beside Billy. Billy let out a few comforting squeaks as Thaddeus whimpered, the square squeaking right back. Eventually Thaddeus did an eye grin and hugged him "Its nice to meet you too brother" Billy said, Stan and Fiddleford gaped.
