A/N: Wow, here we are at Chapter 24, finally you get to go on a date with the Bill Cipher. Sorry I took so long for this moment to happen, I just didn't want to rush the whole process. So, I hope you enjoy your date with Bill and hope it makes up for me putting it off for so long! Enjoy!

Y/N's POV

Mabel and I spent all of Thursday at the mall to get me a new dress, a pair of shoes, and a whole ton of make-up. She made me try on a lot of dresses and other outfits; I never want to see another mall for at least a month or more. We spent so long at the mall that we accidentally got locked up inside and had spent the whole night there. At least she was there to keep me company.

Once we finally got back to the shack, she got right to work on fixing my hair and putting make-up on my face. I don't know why she wanted to start so early, I had till 7:00 p.m. before my date. I'm still uncertain why Bill asked me out on a date; did he actually care about me in that way? Why would he anyways? It makes literally no sense to me at all; the all powerful dream demon actually has feelings for a mortal girl who he claims is his 'toy'? Maybe it's one of his tricks...maybe he doesn't care about me at all and wanted to pull a trick on me to think he did. It's not like it would mean anything to me...

I probably shouldn't be lying to myself..I've spent a lot of time with Bill lately and he actually isn't that bad once you get to know him. He's playful, funny, kind, caring, sweet, handsome...

I think I'm drooling now, whoops. Don't want to ruin my make-up. It is now 6:50 p.m. so I decided to get my dress on and put the heels that I bought on my feet. My poor feet, they are going to be tortured.

Ford's POV

Y/n was going to go on a date in less then ten minutes. From what I've heard, this was going to be her first ever date. At least it was going to be with Simon, he seems like a good kid and I don't think he would try to hurt her or even lay a finger on her. If it was with any boy, I think I'm glad it would be him.

Right now, I was in the gift shop with Wendy, Dipper, Mabel, and Markus as we all wait to see Y/n reveal her new dress. "So, if you don't mind me asking, is that the only outfit you own?" Mabel asks Markus.

"Just about but I like it."

"Mhm, well I think I'm going to have to schedule a mall day with you next. How does Sunday sound? Tomorrow I'm a bit busy with Candy and Grenda coming over."

"Woah, hold on there, darling. I don't know how I feel about going shopping with a 10 year old."

"I'm 13."

"Still! I think I'm good with what I have and that's final."

I roll my eyes and continue reading my notes until I start to hear someone coming down the stairs. Everyone grows silent once Y/n walks in; her hair was up in a high ponytail that Mabel had curled and rested against her back while a few strands of hair hung on either side of her face. I'm not exactly sure what makeup Mabel had put on her but her lips were light pink with her cheeks a little lighter shade of pink and she had something on her eyelids and eyelashes that stood out. Her dress was royal blue and sleeveless with small flowers printed from the waist down right below her kneecaps. She wore what looked to be 4 inch heels and she looked very uncomfortable walking. Overall, she looked outstanding.

"Well?" Y/n asks while twirling around sounding unsure.

"You look-" I begin but am cutoff by a new but familiar voice that just entered the room, "Gorgeous."

We all turn around to see Simon in the doorway wearing a yellow tailcoat with a black bow tie, white dress shirt, black pants and shoes. His hair was very neat, better than whatever his hair usually is; I doubt he even brushes it and I bet he even likes the messy hair look! That's my one pet peeve about him...also when he corrects me sometimes. He walks over to Y/n and reaches his hand out towards her, "You ready, beautiful?"

Was it just me or did her cheeks become red? She gives a small nod and takes his hand. I walk up to the both of them and say, "Bring her back by 11:00. Other than that, have fun and keep her safe."

"Will do, Fordsy."

He walks out of the shack taking Y/n with him. I noticed that Mabel had been taking pictures and squealing in Dipper's ear. Something about his outfit reminded me of someone..but I can't figure out who. I feel a hand on my shoulder as I turn to see Wendy, "Don't worry, Mr. Pines, she's gonna be just fine." I nod and enter the living room leaving the four kids in the gift shop.

Y/N's POV

"So I was thinking we started this date off at Greasy's Diner since I know how much you love that place. How does that sound?"

"Sounds okay..." I answer him but trail off. I can't shake off the fact that this "date" is probably one of his tricks and he can't wait to laugh in my face at the end that I bought it.

"Hey, you alright?" Bill asks me while nudging my arm playfully. I nod my head a little while crossing my arms. "That's not what your mind says."

"I hate it when you read my mind. Could you seriously knock it off?" I almost scream at him. He seems to tense up with wide eyes. "I-I'm sorry, I'll stop if you want me too-"

"Just," I take a deep breathe to calm myself before continuing, "this whole date thing, are you serious about it? Did you really want to ask me out, take me to dinner, maybe hold hands and whatnot or is this some type of sick joke that you wanted to prank me with?"

"Honestly, I've been trying to figure that out myself."

"What is that suppose to mean?!"

"Well, I never planned to ever do one of these things you humans do with a human for that matter. Shooting Star was the one who brought it up to me; she thinks that I may have some...feelings for you."

So it was Mabel's plan to do this, this wasn't Bills idea at all. He was probably forced into doing this, knowing Mabel and all, and he probably still sees me as just his toy. To think, when I thought I couldn't get tricked by that demon anymore I still get tricked and hurt more.

"No! You don't understand; I'm sorry that I read your mind again but I had no choice. You think Mabel made me do this? She gave the option, I decided to put it into action. You were the one who accepted it, which I still find strange that you actually accepted it."

"That's none of your concern..." I mumble as my cheeks turn more red then they already were with the blush Mabel put on me. He uncross my arms and pulls me into a hug with his head resting on top of mine. He releases me and looks at my feet, "I've noticed you've grown some since the last time I saw you."

"That's all thanks to the dumb 4-inch heels." I complain.

He laughs but snaps his fingers which makes me shorter than what I was. I look down at my feet and see that he changed my royal blue 4-inch heels to royal blue flats. I look back up at him to see him smirking while I had the widest grin placed on my face, "Dude, you are seriously my hero."

"Of course, anything for my little Star." Bill pulls me into another quick hug before saying, "I'm hungry, let's get going." I laugh while he grabs my hand and pulls me to the diner.

*Time Skip*

"So what will it be you two?" Lazy Susan asks the both of us.

"I'll have a Pitt Cola with a (f/f)."

"I'll have a Pitt Cola as well with a BLT."

She leaves once she takes our order; Bill looks at me and asks, "What's a BLT?" I'm confused why he would order it if he had no idea what it was but that's probably just Bill being Bill. "A BLT is a sandwich with bacon, lettuce, and tomato and sometimes mayonnaise."

He nods as I look back down at my hands; why do they feel so sweaty? Am I sweating? That's just great, I'm nervous and now my palms are sweaty and sticky. Time to hide them under the table, just got to casually bring them down to my lap. I hear Bill laugh a bit...did he seriously just read my mind again? This is horrible, no, this is embarrassing.. He stops laughing but just stares at me in some type of daze with a small smile across his lips.

"Brx uhdoob duh ehdxwlixo wklv hyhqlqj, Vwdu."

I cock my eyebrow as I am confused about what he just said, it all just sounds gibberish to me. He quickly clears his throat and laughs a bit, "I did not mean for it to come out like that."

"What was that?"

"In the Nightmare Realm, we have two main ways of communication: English like what most of you flesh bags use on this planet and as you guys call it, Caesar Cipher. It's where the entire alphabet is three letters back, basically talking in code. So my name, for example, would be Eloo Flskhu."

"Oh...that makes more sense. So what were you trying to say just now?" He smirks at me, "Guess you'll have to decipher it and find out." I sigh and give my best pouting face but it doesn't change his mind. He repeats the message to me and hands me a pen that has literally appeared out of nowhere. I grab a napkin and start to decode it; once I finally finish, the message reads 'You really are beautiful this evening, Star.' I start to blush a bit at his comment which gives Bill the signal that I was able to decipher his message.

"Well, I wasn't lying." he says which just makes me blush even harder. He grabs my hand and rubs it with his thumb in a soothing motion; I close my eyes and prop my head up with my other hand. "You really are adorable." he mumbles under his breathe winning a smile from me.

"You're not so bad yourself when you aren't all mad and turn devil-like."

He just continues to smile at me, am I really falling for him? We have come a long way to ending up here; from the first time we met when I considered him a stalker and mind reader because he knew I wanted to have waffles for lunch then figuring out he was a mind reader and the cause of me having dreams about his wheel. To now where we are sitting at the exact same booth (he had a 'talk' with the couple who were sitting here before us which ended up with them screaming and running out the diner and Bill smiling) having my first ever date with a guy who apparently is a demon. If someone had told me this years ago that this was going to happen to me, I would have laughed right in their face. Nah, maybe more like scream, punch them in the gut, and call the police; either way I would have not believed them. It's hard for me to even think this is even real right now; I feel like that eventually I'm going to wake up realizing that it was all just a dream and I'm still with my parents back in my hometown.

Lazy Susan comes back with our food saying, "Aren't you two cute."

I laugh as Bill thanks her for the food. The rest of dinner has been going pretty good; we just continue to talk and exchange stories. I noticed that every time a boy looks at me Bill decides to send them some message or vision through the mind because they immediately become horrified or they run out of the diner. I've never seen Bill so protective over something or in this case someone. I catch him doing it to some biker brunette who immediately started to choke on his food. His friend had helped him out while Bill starts to laugh. "Really?" I ask him.

He looks at me and starts to scratch the back of his neck, "Well, they need to understand that you are mine and no one else can have my Star."

I shrug and continue to eat; I think it's no use to argue with him because it's not like he would listen. Bill just does his own thing. "Oh, also, I have a surprise for you after this~" he says which grabs my attention out of my thoughts, "What kind of surprise?"

"Do you know anything about a surprise? It's just something nice I want to do for you and you can't know anything about it or you'll ruin it. Now hurry up and finish."

I laugh but I also listen to him since I'm a bit excited about what this surprise could be.

Cliffhanger! Sorry, I'm soo evil!
