Mable was shocked when she saw Dippers bandaged eye. But he refused to let her see it and played it off as a freak accident.

Bill and Dipper knew she did not buy it but she quickly stopped questing it.

Dipper has not been more than 20 feet away from bill for the past four days. Right now, they were on their way to Gravity Falls and Bill has been disguising himself expertly so Mable would not know anything.

Right now he was playing bus driver.

Dipper was regaining his eyesight slowly and could now see blurry objects. He was happy with this.

Bill, has changed his looks. He still wore the same color theme, but his blond hair was cut short and styled to hide his other eye. He also wore a eye patch.

His teeth were pointed so he tried not to smile, but he smile so much around Dipper.

Dipper knew Bill was a scheming demon, but Bill only wants company. He would talk to Dipper in his dreams, tell him about other words, and promises one day they can go together.

Dipper enjoyed having Bill around, despite the 'tricks' he plays on other humans for fun. Schools been out for a week, and as it turns out, before they left three boys turned up missing.

Dipper had a feeling he knew what happened, but said nothing. He pulled out one of the journals, disguised as a book called Myths of life.

He knew Bill was smiling.

"Hey bro bro! This is not the time to read! We need to plan!" Mable exclaims yanking the book from dipper.

"Hey!" He says as he shoved it into his bag. "Come on Dipper! What should we do this summer?"

Dipper smiled at his sister. "What about unpacking our stuff be the first thing we 'plan' to do."

Mable sighed. "Alright, but then what?"

"You can go visit your old friends."

"What will you do?"

"I will Finnish my book."

Mable sighed loudly. "You need a life! Fine, Finnish your book. But tomorrow you're going to go with me for a walk around town!"

Dipper chuckled and smiled. "Whatever you say sis."

Mable seemed satisfied with the answer and went back to jumping around. She walked up to the bus driver, Bill.

Dippers heart almost stopped when she leaned over to look at him. "How much longer until we reach gravity falls?"

Bill laughs loudly, however his laugh had that natural dark ring to it. Mable did not seem to notice but Dipper knew that laugh by heart now.

"We only have 16 minutes and 27 seconds left to go."

Mable looked Bill. "Wow. Your good with time."

Bill smiled. "Time is something that is used to help humans understand things better. It's easier to learn it then confuse others with the true ways."

Mable looked at him oddly.

"Are you from gravity falls?"

Bill chuckled. "I would not say I'm from their. But I do spend a nice chunk of my life hanging around."

He laughed at his joke and Dipper smiled. He was referring to the fact that he floated everywhere as a triangle. Hanging around indeed.

Mable did not understand what was funny so just smiled then walked over to Dipper and sat down, noticing his smile.

"What's so funny?"

Dipper looked at his sister with laughter in his eyes. "Nothing you would understand." He quickly dismissed.

Mable felt a little strange. Her brother has been acting strange for a few months. They always told each other everything. But Dipper seems to be braking off.

Dippers eye for one. Be keeps telling everyone that he hit it by accident. He even wears a eye patch. That he never takes off.

He won't say anything more.

Dipper looked out the window and smiled widely. "Hey Mable. Look out the window."

Mable jumped and squealed hurting Dippers ears when she saw the sign 'welcome to Gravity Falls.'

Dipper was happy as well, untill he saw both of their grunkles. Stan was fine. He would not notice anything.

Ford would. Fear griped him. Bill! Would Ford recognize him?

Bill could since Dippers fear but he knew just what to do.

Dipper plastered a fake smile as they pulled into the bus stop. Both grunkles were waiting for them waving.

"Look waddles were home!" Mable exclaimed grabbing her pet pig.

Mable jumped out of the bus running into the grunkles embrace. They hugged her tightly and laughed as she fawned them with her joy.

Dipper took a little longer to get off. As he closed his book and put his bag on he hesitantly glanced at the uncles thew the window before heading out. He flinched when a unexpected hand slipped into his pocket placing something inside. He glances as Bill before getting off.

"Dipper! It's good to see you again!" Ford says taking a small glance at Bill. Dipper forced a smile as Bill began to drive away. "Uncle Ford! It's great to see you!"

Ford smiles back. Trying to not stare at his eye. He knew of Dippers story. Not the truth.

Ford as been helping Dipper out quite a bit. Sending him notes of his work. Dipper has plans to one day stay here. And Ford was his mentor, so Dipper would successfully take after him when the time comes.

Mable also plans to live her one day. And only when Mable is ready, will Dipper take over the Fords work, and Mable will one day own the Mystery Shack.

"It's great to see you both!" Stan says smiling. He lost a lot of his... Hump... He stood taller now.

Mable was jumping around when her eyes landed on her friends. She ran over to then screaming "girls!"

Dipper however was created by Wendy. "Hey Dip!" She says wearing his hat. They traded hats each time he leaves. It's become their thing. Dipper also lost interest in her a while back after coming to terms with the age difference.

"Wendy!" He grabs her hat out of his bag and they traded laughing.

"Alright, alright. You can hang out with friends later. Let's get you kids home." Stan says hearing how loud Mable and her friends were.

Dipper could hardly wait to get home.
