During our short trek through the windy dirt road, Mabel talked about all the adventures they have had so far. Like, how she has a pig, waddles, and lil' Gideon, and the Zombie apocalypse thing, and, the most recent, when they went into the bunker in the woods and how they got the laptop. I was truly fascinated by the end of her stories. Finally, our walk came to an end and we made it to the Mystery Shack. "Welcome to the Mystery Shack, (y/n)",Dipper gestured to a rather old looking building with a pointed top and a large sign saying Mystery (S)hack. The "S" had apparently fallen off. "Ah, so, y'all work here?",I asked. "Yup",Dipper answered. "But please the inside is just as fascinating",Dipper informed sarcastically. I laughed at his lack of enthusiasm. When I opened my eyes again, I noticed Dippers gaze focused on me. He held a sort of curious yet happy side smile, one eyebrow raised, that made my heart go a little faster. I sucked in a small breath and held it when I returned his gaze. He then noticed my acknowledgement of him, and turned his head away looking downwards, cheeks ablaze. I felt the same heat rises to my own and looked away as well. A moment or two of pure awkwardness, then Mabel interjected. "You know, it's cute... what you two have here",she stated putting one arm around Dipper and the other around me, pulling us closer to her. We then ended up walking under her arms to the mystery shack where I was introduced to the whole place and we began our work on the puppets.

So, as the week went on we worked on the sock puppets and when there was extra time, Dipper and I worked worked on the passcode. But, we also had our awkward moments. Like, when I ended up staying over later then I should have, and accidentally fell asleep on Dippers shoulder. When I woke up, I found myself, sitting up, back to back with Dipper, who was also asleep. I looked at my watch, 1:56. Wow, I was exhausted. I thought to myself. I looked out the window. It was still dark out. Though I was still tired, I thought it time to at least move or even just get up. Cautiously, I got up, letting Dipper fall flat on his bed with a soft thump. He only stirred a little bit but otherwise, he was out like a light. I looked at him sympathetically. Poor Dipper, He's exhausted. I thought to myself. I then, quietly grabbed a blanket and laid it over him. Grabbing my black jacket, I picked up the Journal and silently slipped onto the roof. I sat down on the edge, with legs dangling, and I opened the Journal and began to flip through the pages. As I went through, one particular page caught my attention. I opened the page up all the way and read it by the light of the moon. The reason I stopped at this page was because of the creature on it. it looked like the shadow I saw twice the other day at the library. I began to read it out loud. "Beware Bill Cipher",read the title. "He is the most dangerous creature I have ever faced.",I stopped. That doesn't sound very promising. I thought, then continued. "Whatever you do, do not summon him", I finished. But as soon as I did. My world went black and white. "Well that doesn't seem very nice",a voice said. I then spun around to find myself looking into the face of Bill Cipher. "Uh, oh."
