Chapter Five

Artist unknown ('△｀)

Author's Note: Apologizes for how short this chapter is. Chapter Four was longer than I expected it to be and I have stupid artist/writer's block. Plus I have so much going on with family and (useless) school. But I promise to do my best to publish a chapter every week. Hope you enjoy this chapter, Love - Charm

Bill was walking towards his room after leaving Dipper with Mabel. He was planning out the steps of mission: Keep Pinetree Happy and UNmarried. He was finally in his room on the second floor of the castle.

It was a shared bedroom with his brother Will, on one side it was a baby blue while on the other was a soft yellow. Will's side was neater and posters about baking contest (and those he won) were posted on the wall. As for Bill, his side had weapons and armor lying around along with a photo of him and Pinetree.

Bill was rummaging around his room looking for supplies when he heard a knock on the door.

"Hey, Bill." At the doorway stood Will, wearing similar clothing as Bill except baby blue. He had a smirk on his lips, which honestly suprised Bill.

"What do you need? Why aren't you with the Pines? Do you need help sneaking into a baking contest, again?"

"I don't- I don't need anything, just wondering about y-you." Bill gave a questioning glance towards Will and urged him to continue. "So, what do you think about Dipper- about Dipper getting married?"

Will gave an innocent smile while Bill glared at him. "You know how I feel about him."

"Hmm... I- I don't know. I mean, I saw- I saw you glancing be-between Dipper and Pacifica." Will giggled as Bill started angrily muttering to himself, "You're- You're jealous. Well its- its your fault, should've a-asked for his- his hand."

Bill flopped onto his bed and groaned. He started muffling something but Will didn't catch anything he said.

"What?"

Bill laid on his back and pulled at his hair. "I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF HE'S GAY!" Will started shushing him but Bill rolled his eyes, knowing everyone was outside by now. "Plus Stanford would get in the way. He always does."

"I- I don't know. I mean- I mean he doesn't want to get- to get married. Maybe he's gay."

"Or he doesn't want to marry someone he just met. Plus he could be ace like you. Doesn't want to reproduce."

"Well he can- he can still fall in love."

"Either way, if he doesn't want to get married, I should respect his choice. I shouldn't take advantage of this moment just to ask for his hand. Plus what if- what if he says no." Bill's voice cracked and choked on his words.

Will walked over to Bill reassuring him by hugging and drawing circles on his back. Once Bill calmed down he asked what Bill was doing.

"Ahem. I had Pinetree ask Mabel to choose archery so Pinetree can compete in the games."

Will stared confused at the cloak, kingdom symbol (Cipher Wheel), and bow and arrows Bill had collected. Bill noticed his confusion and laughed.

"You see according to Stanford, the first born is allowed to participate in the games. Pinetree is the oldest male of the Pines family so he can play to choose who marries. Plus those prince looked like douchebags, so if Mabel wants to, she can have Pinetree stop the marriage plans or whatever."

"Oh! I see!"

"Yeah, see great plan!"

"But how- but how are you going to sneak- to sneak Dipper out there." Will looked up from the supplies to see Bill smirking at him. Will's eyes widened.

"Oh no. I- I am not getting in tr-trouble with Stanford."

"Oh come on Will! You owe me and Pinetree for sneaking you out to the baking competitions every year. Plus all you gotta do is distract Stanford, you can do that right?"

Will whined, "But- but I can't even- can't even start a conversation with anyone without- without crumbling!"

"Please Will. For me and Pinetree." Bill looked up at WIll with puppy dog eyes until Will huffed out an okay. "YES! Don't worry lil bro! Nothing can go wrong!"

Will managed a weak chuckle, trying to plan out a conversation, which he knows will fail. Bill got up and collected his supplies from the ground, "ONWARD! To mission: Keep Pinetree Happy and UNmarried."

The twins laughed with each other as they marched out to the field to carry out mission: Keep Pinetree Happy and UNmarried. Or in Will's case, mission: Remove Obstacles from splitting Billdip.
