"I'm sure he means well Dipper," I say as Dipper paces in front of me with a broom.

He throws his hands in the air- letting go of the broom he was holding, "You don't understand! He makes me do all of those stuff! I swear he's picking on me!"

Here I was.. passing my time in the gift shop with Dipper in front of me ranting about how Stan makes him do all the chores, "Maybe he's trying to make you understand about responsibilities?" I shrug. Even I didn't know what goes in that head of Stan.

"Then why doesn't he make Mabel do some of those then?" He grabs the broom off the floor again and started cleaning the floor.

"Hmm.. Look I know as much as you do about Stan. Which isn't really much." I grab a broom from the room, "I say- just trust your Grunkle Stan for now. I'll give you hand to get some off your back."

He takes a deep breath, "Thanks Will." there were some bruises on his hands and head from fighting a bat earlier. Mabel and Soos patched him up, so.. he should be fine.

"How 'bout we go on a Monster hunt with Mabel later?" I offer to him. "I was trying to find.. something in the forest. Like some kind of ruins." It seems like a good opportunity to have help in the forest. "Kinda feels lonely sometimes I go out there ya know?"

He smiles finally cheering up. "Ugh.. Yeah... I can't take more of this. I need a break away from Stan."

"He do be like that sometimes. I'm sure he has his reasons-" Before I could finish my sentence, Mabel and Soos came into the room panicking.

"Dipper! Will! We gotta help Stan!"

"What?" Both of us asked at the same time.

"This evil triangle guy said he's gonna break into Stan's mind and steal the combination to his safe!" Soos takes out a snack from his pockets, "Also we stopped for snacks on the way here."

"Can I have some?" I asked. He nods and gives me one.

"This is not the time for snacks!" I turn to Mabel while opening the food and munching on the snack Soos gave me...  "We have to save Stan!"

"Sorry.. I was just hungry," I shrug. "Pretty sure I saw Stan at the living room." They ran out and went towards the living room. I followed after them still eating. We enter the room to see Stan still sleeping. "See! He's fine." 

"There was that triangle guy though! He really did seem like magic!" Mabel explains.

Dipper takes out his Journal, "Wait.. Triangle guy? I feel like I've seen something like this before in the journal..." He stops to a page and reads it out loud, "'Beware Bill, the most powerful and dangerous creature I've ever encountered. Whatever you do, never let him enter your mind'."

"Ack! Ugh..!" We look over to Stan. Some shadowy figure entered his head and his eyes started glowing blue. He starts screaming.

Mabel takes the Journal from Dipper and reads out, "It is possible to follow the demon into a person's mind and prevent his chaos. One must simply recite this incantation."

I took the Journal after Mabel finished reading it. The page contained a drawing of a black triangle with an eye in the middle. It also had a top hat. It had thin legs and arms.

 "Ugh, this is just great. I spend all day cleaning sinks and fighting bats for Stan and now I have to save him from some crazy brain demon?"

I nudge him lightly on the shoulder, "C'mon Dipper. He's still your Grunkle Stan."

"If we don't do anything Gideon might steal the shack! Or worse!" Mabel adds on.

He sighs, "Ugh... Fine... Get ready, guys. We're about to journey into the most horrifying, disturbing place any of us have ever been: our uncle's mind."
