My Star (Billdip)

Chapter 4

Dipper Pov

I awoke the next day to find everyone already downstairs.

"H-How are you all awake?!?!" I asked, confused. I heard Mabel laugh. "It's 10:30 silly!" My mind went from confused to panicked. "Why did no one wake me up?!?!" "Well... I felt bad for waking you up yesterday so I decided to let you sleep." I sighed. Oh well, at least I got sleep last night.

We ate cereal, then going upstairs to go get dressed.

I put on my red short sleeve shirt, my blue jacket, my grey shorts, and my usual blue shoes. I put on the hat just for the heck of it, grabbing my leather bag and the journal I had. I saw Mabel had but on a purple sweater and blue shorts, and a purple headband.

We walked downstairs to see Grunkle Ford and Grunkle Stan, waiting on us.

"Come on kids, we're going somewhere fun today!" Grunkle Ford said enthusiastically.

We left the house, walking towards someplace that was supposed to be a surprise.

Soon we ended up in town, walking towards a building we hadn't seen before.

"Grunkle Ford, what's this place?" I asked, confused. He didn't answer, he only showed a smile and opened the door.

We walked inside, immediately awestruck. It was a concert, some of me and Mabel's favorite bands were there playing.

"THANK YOU!!" We both yelled, hugging our Grunkles. They both laughed and patted our backs. "No problem kids!" They responded.

We ran up as close to the stage as possible, smiling brightly. We listened as they played some of our favorite songs, but soon someone tapped my shoulder and tried talking to me. It wasn't Grunkle Stan or Grunkle Ford so I ignored them. Until Mabel got my attention that is.

"Dipper, some hot boy is trying to get your attention." I was confused since she had called them hot, but turned to look at the person nonetheless. 

The boy had brown roots, fading to golden yellow. He wore a triangle eye patch, had a yellow brick sweater and black jeans. His eyes were golden, and his skin was slightly pale. He looked to be around my age, and was quite tall.

"Hey, could I talk to you privately?" The boy asked. I hesitated for a moment before nodding and following the person to a corner of the room, away from everyone else. 

I stood in front of him, waiting for him to speak. I soon realized he was waiting on me, so I spoke up and asked, "Who are you?" I heard a laugh, a very familiar laugh. "What, don't recognize me Pine Tree?" I felt my face go pale. "B-Bill....?" I mentally slapped myself for stuttering. 

"Ding ding ding, we have a winner, but no prize!" He smirked at me, me standing and staying silent out of confusion and shock. "Aw, come on Pine Tree. You can't find your words?" I shook my head lightly. I soon found my voice, and began speaking. "H-How are you here...? I-I thought you were g-g-gone....." Bill looked at me with his strange smile. 

"Well Pine Tree," he began, "After I was erased in Stan's mind, I thought I would never come back. The statue of me stayed in the woods, but when he began regaining his memory, I felt myself begin to come back. However, I couldn't be back without someone making a deal. Eventually some idiot made a deal and shook my hand, me coming back which caused the statue to disappear. But, I didn't come back in my usual form. I was put back into my human form, the one I had before gaining the new one. My human body is only seventeen years old, since I was in my other form for all those years. That's why you couldn't find the statue. But, I still have all my powers, and I'm still a demon. Just now, I look human."

I stood silent, taking in the sudden information. Soon I felt my mouth begin to move, me not even meaning to speak. "Well, what was the deal?" I saw another small smile spread across his face. "They said they'd allow me back into the world as long as I was in human form." I nodded in understanding, now not as confused. "But.....Why'd you come find me...?" 

I was shocked to hear his words. "I missed you Pine Tree." 

I wouldn't have been so shocked if it hadn't been for the fact of my sudden realization. 

Those four years he had been on my mind, it was partially because I missed him too. 

"I-I-" I was cut off when Mabel walked behind me. "Hey bro-bro! You were gone for a bit so I decided to come check on you, make sure you weren't making out with some guy." I felt my face turn red, "Ma-Mabel!!!" I watched as Bill suppressed a laugh. 

"Anyway, why'd you want to talk to my brother?" Mabel asked, turning to Bill. "Oh, I'm just a friend of his. Nice to meet you, Mabel I'm guessing?" Bill held out a hand, going to shake Mabel's. "It is. And you are?" "Will. Will Rephic." They shook hands, and for some reason a felt a pang of jealousy go through my heart at the sight of Bill holding Mabel's hand. 

'I don't have feelings for Bill.... Do I?'

Mabel soon left, and I waited for her to be out of earshot before asking, "Why'd you say that as your name?" He replied quickly, "Will is my twin brother's name, basically the opposite of me. And if your sister grew a brain and thought about it, just swap around the letters in Rephic and it says Cipher." I hummed in response, realizing how that was both smart and stupid at the same time. 

"Say Pine Tree, could I maybe come over and see you later?" I began stuttering in response. "I- Wha- Why- Uh-" I watched as he laughed at my dilemma. "Wh-Why would you w-want to come see m-me!?!?" I managed to get out, with much difficulty I may add. Bill soon calmed down, and answered, "I want to see you." 

I began blushing hard, my face becoming a bright red color. 

'Why am I blushing!?!??!?!?'  I mentally screamed at myself. 

It took me a bit, but I soon reduced the amount of redness in my face. "O-Okay...." I said, unsure of myself. I hope allowing him to come over isn't a mistake.

Later it was time to go, so I grabbed Bill's hand and pulled him with me towards Grunkle Ford and Grunkle Stan. I wouldn't ever admit it, but I actually liked holding his hand. 

"Dipper, who's this?" I heard Grunkle Stan ask. "Oh this is my friend Will. I was wondering if he could come over today." I silently prayed that Grunkle Ford wouldn't question the name Will. "Yeah, I always have my friends over, can Dipper have his?" Mabel added. I was very relieved when my Grunkles both said yes to Bill coming over without questioning him. 

We all began leaving the building, soon halfway back through the woods towards the shack. By the time we got back to the shack, we were about to enter the door when Bill pulled me to the side behind a tree. I felt as he leaned closer toward me, his mouth right beside my ear. I felt his hot breath hit the inside of my ear, him beginning to whisper, "Guess I get to have you with me all day now Pine Tree."

I shivered at his words, a little scared that he was here. However, I felt a strange sense of security the closer he was to me. I decided to put my trust in him, trusting he wouldn't do anything bad or harmful while he was here. 

I stood for a moment before grabbing his hand yet again and pulling him into the shack. 

'I'm going to trust you Bill, don't make me regret it.'
