So this chapter is finally out, yey! ;-; Sorry it took forever :^...

3rd person P.O.V.: (The Next Day)

Dipper woke up to something wet on his face along with weird noises. Oink, Oink *Lick*.

"Ewwwwww, Waddles! Seriously, I thought I told you not to wake me up anymore!" He wiped his face off with his sleeve and sat up, taking in his surroundings. The pig waddled (heh, get it, WADDLED, WADDLES?! ... I'll go now...) to Mabel's door and nudged it open to reveal it was empty. "Huh, guess she already woke up..."

Dipper got up and put on a dark green t-shirt and some jeans, along with a light green flannel around his waist. After getting dressed and putting on his hat, he walked downstairs. once he got down there, he was greeted by a stranger sitting at the breakfast table. He squeaked.

"W-who the hell are you?!" The male turned around and smiled. He had blonde -almost yellow- hair and a tan complexion. he was wearing a yellow sweater-vest and black jeans, along with bright blue Converse. he looked to be about Dipper's age, maybe a year older.

"Ah yes, that knock to the head probably made you lose your memory a bit. I'm William, William Rephic, the person who saved you last night from the werewolf?" Then it clicked in Dipper's head. "O-oh yeah, sorry I forgot about that..." He scratched the back of his neck in nervous habit. William shook his head.

"Don't be sorry! I should be the one apologizing. I did give you quite a start just now, didn't I?" he chuckled a bit to himself as Dipper smiled.

Mabel came around the corner with a round tray in her hands, three glasses on top. "The drinks are serv- wait, where's Gruncle Ford?" She looked around and caught Dipper's gaze. "Oh, hey Dip 'n Dot! I see you met with William here. Have you seen Ford, he said he wanted to test my Mabel juice for any possible experiments he had in the future." Dipper ignored the last part of his sister's question and shook his head.

"Nope, and could you please stop calling me that? Just Dipper will do fine." Mabel pouted and set the drinks down. "How about Little Dippie?"

"No."

"Sir Dipsalot?"

"Wh- no!"

"Smartie?"

"Well I mean yes, but no."

"Uh, here's an old one, lamby?"

Dipper blushed out of embarrasement. "MABEL, seriously?! that is a definite no!!"

She shrugged. "What about D-"

Hearty laughter was heard coming from the blonde sat at the table. "Do you two bicker about the little things often, because it is quite amusing." William stood up and walked to Dipper. He flicked his hat, almost making it fall off. "How about Pinetree? I like your hat quite a lot."

All the temperature in Dipper's body sank down to -100 in that moment. He hadn't heard that name in almost three years, and had really weird panic attacks and ran high fevers whenever it occured. Dipper stepped back and closed his eyes, shuddering. "M-maybe n-not that e-either..." William stood back as well and had a worried expression on his face.

"Are you alright Dipper? I'm sorry if I said anything wrong." He stepped up and supported his back. "Here, do you need to go to your room or anything?" Dipper nodded. Mabel walked up to help, but William shook his head. "I got him, you go inform your great uncle about Dipper and see if he wants you to do anything in the mean time." Mabel hesitated but nodded before running off. William looked back to the teen he was supporting.

"Now, I'm going to carry you to your room, okay?" Dipper weakly nodded again and he was lifted up by William. William hurriedly brought him up to his room and set him on his bed. "I'm going to grab some water and some Ibeprofin to help with your temp." Dipper turned over in his covers and snuggled into them, sweat dripping off his forehead. Shortly after, Dipper passed out.

Sooooooo I'm just going to stop and see where this story goes, because the previous idea I had really sucked, so back to the drawing board!!! 😬 I hope you enjoy the book so far, and I hope the next chapter comes out before Christmas...
