Dipper

Dipper had been chilling with Wendy when his phone started to ring.

"Hold on, I've got to take this." Dipper said to Wendy who nodded and left his room to find Mabel.

Dipper answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Dipper!" said a panicked Bill.

"Bill, what's wrong?"

"Has Ford called you?" Bill said, his breathing heavy.

"No...why, what's going on, are you ok?" Dipper asked.

"No, listen. Do not answer your phone for anyone else. Just trust me. Meet me in the woods, you'll know where to go, I just need you to trust me!" Bill said quickly.

"Bill, I'm worried, what's going on?" Dipper asked again.

"Please, just trust me. Don't tell anyone where you're going, I know that sounds strange but I promise, it will all make sense." Bill said panicked.

"Bill, slow down. You know I can't go out in the woods." Dipper said.

"You'll find the way, I promise. Just please. Trust me." Bill pleaded.

"Ok. I trust you. I'll meet you in the woods." Dipper said slowly.

"Thank you Dipper. I promise, everything will make sense soon. I'm going to fix things." Bill said before hanging up.

Dipper got up, grabbing a hoodie, as it was likely cold out, and walked out his room, downstairs, and out of the house. As soon as he stepped off the porch, he felt strange. He knew he couldn't see, but he felt a strange tugging sensation, pulling him towards where he knew the woods was.

Bill told me to trust him. He wouldn't hurt me. Dipper thought, before taking a deep breath and followed the strange sensation.

Dipper knew walked slowly and cautiously at first, but found the strange sensation seemed to be keeping from running into trees or tripping over rocks, so he picked up the pace.

He found it strange that in an unfamiliar place he was able to walk so confidently.

How did Bill know would find the place?

He wasn't sure the answer, but he did trust Bill.

After about ten minutes of walking Dipper wasn't sure if he should keep walking. Surely he'd never find his way out. But Bill was counting on him. And from what it sounded like, Bill was in trouble.

Dipper kept walking.

Then, he felt the sensation release.

"Bill?" Dipper called out.

He heard nothing but silence.
