There's the song if you want to listen! 🔝
Change the shirt on the photo and that's the outfit.

Luckily, Mabel wasn't sceptical about my whereabouts this time, and Bill did poof me in some nail polish, but said I wasn't aloud to paint my nails without him. I sit on my bed now, just thinking it all over.

I guess I finally have something I wanted, Bill. But I don't know if I can keep this happiness, or I'll have to give everything else up for it. It's not like I have much going for me here, with all the shit going on with Mabel and the others, but I still love them and I don't want to lose them all. I don't want to lose Bill either. What do I want more, what do I need more?

My thoughts are interrupted by Mabel barging into my room. Without saying anything she started to look through my closet, the one she refilled with girls' clothes, and pulled out a short, ruffled, black skirt and red, long sleeve shirt (thank god) with a V neck laced together (you get it right?).

"What are you doing?" I ask dumbly.

"We're going dancing tonight." She answers bleakly without even looking at me.

"Really, why?" I know why, but I'll play dumb.

"Just a night out with everyone, the tent of telepathy is hosting a party." She pulls out my high heeled leather boots along with a leather jacket. Without warning she shoves me in the bathroom with the clothes and waits for me to change. When I come out she is looking through my box of jewelry. I cough for her attention.
"Twirl." She says strictly, I obey and she nods. "That will be good." I sit down on my bed and while she walks over with a necklace. "What's this?" She notices the charm Bill gave me, finally.

"Oh it's just a little trinket from the fairies." I say nonchalantly. It's not that hard to lie to her anymore, not since we were younger.

"When did they give you this?" She continues to interrogate me.

"A little while ago, but I forgot I had it until I found it in my pocket, so I put it on."  Surprisingly, that's a good lie. Although I had been planing it for a few days.

"Do you need to wear it now?" She seems a little unamused, annoyed at my "defiance".

"I would like to. I know it doesn't go with this outfit like the one you chose for me, but I like this one." I put on some puppy eyes, holding off the anime girl act for now.

"No, I want you to wear this one." She says bitterly. I frown, thinking it through.

"Okay." I give in. I can keep my charm with me and switch them out when she's not looking.
And that's what I did, on our way to the tent of telepathy in one of Pacifica's limousines.

When we get there I know I'm in for a difficult night. The three boys left in the game, Gideon, Butch and Kyle, are standing at the entrance in their nice clothes and a smile on their faces as they see me. Butch is wearing an expensive looking suit, of course. Kyle is wearing jeans and a plaid shirt, I like it. Gideon, with no surprise, is wearing what looks like a hell's Angels member Halloween costume. Consisting of a lot of leather, which just so happens to match mine... I wonder why, Mabel! I give a little wave as we walk up. They oh and ah at my outfit and compliment me on what ever they can think of. Like usual.
When we walk into the party it looks really fun, with lights, a good sound system, and a bar... Hm. I go to a stool and sit at the counter of the bar, Soos is the bar tender for some reason and it looks like they actually have alcohol! Maybe one cocktail would be okay, it takes a lot for me to get drunk and I'll tell Mabel it's a virgin.

After a while of sitting at the bar, drinking a surprisingly delicious cocktail that I thanked Soos for not telling anyone, the boys start to start making their moves.

"Why, hello there Dipper. Can I buy you a drink?" Butch says, marching up to me and sitting in the stool to my left.

"Hi. No I'm fine thank you." I mumble unenthusiastically.  

"You sparkle in the lights yet you sit at the bar?" He sounds like a cheesy romantic tragedy, can we skip to the scene where I die?

"I'll wait for the right song." I still don't look at him.

"Or the right person?" He moves closer, I can smell his disgusting breath. I think he's gonna do something until Kyle interrupts.

"What are you two up to?" Kyle wiggles his eyebrows sceptically.

"Nothing what so ever." I say quickly. "What about you?"

He smiles as the tension goes down a little, only a little.
"Just checkin' the place out." He shrugs. I nod, Bitch shifts uncomfortably in his seat.

"Please." I say patting the seat to my right. He obliges and smiles evilly, all part of the plan. He puts his arm around me and I lean into him, making Butch almost turn red.
It's all going well, until Gideon comes over. What a surprise!

"My beauty!" He says, grabbing my hand and spinning me off my seat into his arms. Oh he's good, the asshole.

"If that's true, you must be the beast." I sass, rolling my eyes.

"Then you admit we are in love, yes?" He smirks. I wiggle out of his arms and back into Kyle's.

"Leave him alone Gideon." Kyle growls, trying to protect me, but his words go ignored.

"Why do you run from me?" Gideon pouts.

"Because you're disgusting!" I snap.

"Oh, I'm sure Mabel wouldn't like that..." He grabs my hips this time and forces me against him. "And I know full well that drink isn't virgin." He whispers in my ear. I give up my struggle, what can I do? He finally got me into a corner I can't escape. That's when he catches my eye, in the shadows.

"Ask me to dance." I think, holding onto the charm I snuck on.

"Really! Are you sure?" It responds in my head.

"Just follow my lead." With that he starts to walk over. "Okay Gideon, what do you want?" I know the answer to that and... Ugh I don't even wanna think about it.

"You." He laughs evilly. I roll my eyes again.

"May you please let me go?" I'm really losing patience.

"Well, if you promise to dance with me tonight, give me your phone number... And go into the back room with me later." He whispers the last part in my ear, causing a shiver to roll down my spine.

"Okay." I sigh "I'll do that." He laughs and finally lets me go. Just at that time, my knight in shining armour prances in.

"Excuse me sir, but could I have this dance?" He says politely.

"Sure." I smile at him.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Gideon and Butch protest.

"One dance couldn't hurt." I giggle innocently and walk off with the man in the yellow suit.

The next song starts and we start to dance, it's a tango and for some odd reason we both know what to do. Love is definitively in the air, my skin even started to glow again and he had to warn me to focus on stopping it. It worked of course and we continued dancing.
We ended up in the middle of the dance floor as the song progressed, everyone was standing around cheering us on while we move together.

Bill POV
PineTree and I are doing a beautiful tango in the middle of the room, attention is on us but we don't care.

Suddenly I'm pushed to the ground by two guys, Butch and Gideon, as I recognize them. The music stops abruptly. They try to hit me, but I'm successfully dodging each swing.

"B-" PineTree starts to scream as we squirm around on the floor.

"Dipper!" Mabel interrupts, running into the scene. "You know you aren't supposed to be with any other guys but these ones!" The other guy, Kyle, runs in and helps me get them off. Soon we're all off the ground and have stopped fighting, though they continue to give me dirty looks.

"It's one dance Mabel, it doesn't mean anything! I just wanted to have a nice time." PineTree says angrily.

"We'll talk about this later." Mabel scoffs through her teeth. Gideon and Butch go on aether side of PineTree, holding to his arms.

"Come my darling." Butch laughs evilly.

"You have a promise to redeem Dipper..." Gideon says in a sing-song voice. But PineTree doesn't move, just stands there with his head down. I think he might be crying or something, but then he starts to glow. I know what's going to happen, and it's not good.

"Dipper," I call soothingly "it's fine. Now is the time, but you have to let it out gently. You have to sing!" With that music starts to play and Mabel turns back. The glow gets bigger and Butch and Gideon look scared. Suddenly the glow brightens for a minute, causing everyone to look away. When we can see him again, Pinetree is in his magical dress I had seen before, but shortened to a cocktail dress length and silk flowing from the back like a cape.

Why am I always hit on by the boys I never like,

PineTree starts to sing abruptly, nocking the boys beside him to the ground with a beam of light.

I can always see them coming,
From the left and from the right.

He gestures to the sides and whisks of flames come with it.

I don't wanna be a priss,
I'm just try'na be polite.
But it always seems to bite me in the,

"Whoa!" I say quickly, backing him up.

Asked me for my number,
Yeah you put me on the spot.

He sings to Gideon as the flames start to come out and swirl.

You think that we should hook up,
But I think that we should not.

Gideon's eyes are wide with fear.

You had me at hello,
Then you opened up your mouth.

He turns and sings to Butch, who smiles at the innocent voice PineTree is singing in.

And that is when it started going south!

He turns sinister again.

"Oh!" I sing for support, he needs to know I'm here and I can help him.

Get your hands off my hips,
before I punch you in the lips.
Stop your staring at my,

"Hey!"

Take a hint,
Take a hint!
No you can't buy me a drink,
Let me tell you what I think,
I think you could use a mint.
Take a hint,
take a hint!

The flames are growing out of control and PineTree falls to the floor. I know it's time to get him out of here, I don't know what will happen to his body and it could be dangerous. With a swoop of magic I teleport us out and leave a note in Mabel's hand with where she can find us. We need to talk this out and see where our next step is, I have a feeling it won't be what PineTree was hoping for.

Sorry for the cliffhanger! Any guesses on what will happen next?
