CHAPTER FIVE: Monochrome.

~Recap~

Dipper walks into Fords lab and sees the old man looking at a screen with a troubled expression. "Grunkle Ford?" Dipper says as he aproches the older male. Ford turns around swiftly. "Oh, Dipper! Yes, yes, I need to tell you something very important! You can't tell anyone this! Got it?!" Ford demands holding Dipper's shoulders and the younger male starts to shake. "What is it?" He asks his uncle. "Dipper, according to my machine B-"

~Recap Over~

"Dipper, according to my machine Bill Cipher might be back!" Ford says and Dipper gasps. Ford is left thinking it's in fear of the demon... But I it is actually fear for the demon. "A-are you sure Grunkle Ford?" Dipper asks, trying not to let Ford know he knows something.

"I am Dipper." He says then starts to pace. "But how? This doesn't make since! We destroyed him in Stan's mindscape! Didn't we?" The older male thinks aloud. Dipper simply watches his great uncle and silently thinks about how he's going to protect Bill from Ford, and of course! Bill needs a place to stay now that he has a somewhat human body!

After a few more seconds of Fords Pacing Stan calls down. "You two nerds get up here for supper! Now!" Dipper chuckles and Ford rolls his eyes at his twin.

"Come on Grunkle Ford. Time to eat." Dipper says then goes up the stairs. "Coming." Ford says.

~The next morning at the Library with Dipper, Bill, Pacifica, and Gideon ~

Dipper looks to his friends and Bill. They're all trying to figure out where Bill will stay. "Well can't stay at my place... All know what my parents would say." Pacifica says. "I'd let him stay with me, but I don't know where he'd sleep. My house is smaller than it looks." Says Gideon. "I'm only here for the Summer. Bill can't leave Gravity Falls, and I wouldn't want to impose on Soos. Besides... Let's not forget my Grunkle Ford..." Dipper states and the three think again.

"Well, show me how to work, and I can make my own money to buy an apartment or something." Bill says and they look to him. "Bill, you do know how long it would take to save up that much money... Right?" Dipper says and Bill rolls his eyes. "I don't care! I will just sleep in the woods until then!" The blond demon says and Dipper looks to his friends.

"No, no, Bill, you will just switch between spending the night with me and Dipper until you have the money." Gideon says and Bill nods. "But! Ford!" Dipper says in worry. "It's OK Dipper. As long as they think Bill is human, and he doesn't use his powers, Bill should be just fine with Ford around." Pacifica tells the already hyperventilating boy. "Y-you think?" Dipper asks her. "I know." She says and the boy calms down, but not by far.

Bill comes over and pulls the boy into his lab then begins to rub Dipper's back soothingly. Dipper instantly calms at the demons touch. Gideon and Pacifica just stand there watching Bill do what only Mabel has been able to do until now, calm Dipper down from a panic attack.

After the Library they go their separate ways. Gideon to do a magic show at his tent, Pacifica to meet up with her school 'friends', Dipper to the Shack, and Bill following Dipper.

At the Shack Dipper takes Bill to his room and they just sit up there. Bill leans against the wall behind Dipper's pillows, and Dipper leans against the side of his bed on the floor.

After a bit Bill grabs Dipper and lifts the boy into his lap. Dipper instantly protest. "Bill! What are you doing?!" He shouts and Bill chuckles. "Awe... I can't have my Pine Tree in my lap? Why?" Bill muses and Dipper huffs. "Let me go." He says and Bill shakes his head, chuckling.

Bill then proceeds to burry his head in the now blushing boys neck. "Biiilll!" Dipper whines. Bill kisses his neck right before Mabel comes in. She takes one look at the two with Bill's lips still on the younger's neck and Dipper blushing. She blushes herself then proceeds to her bed. She gets down besides it and pulls a box out from under. She takes the sticker covered box to the door and before leaving says this: "DON'T FORGET TO WEAR CONDOMS!" And rushes out, locking the door behind herself.

Dipper's eyes go wide and his face turns red. Bill pulls his head up and looks to the boy. "What's a condom?"

OK!

What do y'all think?

Why is Mabel sneaking around with Mr. Northwest?

Will Ford find out about Bill?

Why is Bill so sweet to Dipper?

Why does Dipper want to keep Bill safe?

All these will be answered in due time. But I want to hear what you think the answers are!
