Dipper was, after a very long time, finally able to have some hours of sleep. He probably had to thank the neighbor who kept him awake until he couldn't keep his eyes opened anymore, that was the only reason of why he had fell asleep, and if that hadn't happen, he would most likely end up watching some weird documentary about ETs in History Channel.

He woke up the next morning, hoping it wasn't eleven already, and getting a little disapointed when discovered that he, again, had ignored the alarm, set to ring at ten thirty. Dipper slowly knocked on the wall, wanting whoever lived in the other apartment to answer. He didn't want to talk again, he just wanted to thank for calming him down.

The boy hesitantly looked down to his nails, scared of what he could find. It happens that, Mabel have been to his flat in the past night, and that meant he ended up doing quite "Mabel-things", stuff normal Dipper would never do, such as being convinced to paint his nails in black, "It's aesthetic and pretty, come on, let me do it for you," she said.

"How do I even get it out?" He mumbled annoyed, making his way to the small kitchen to get some coffee, "I can't go out with these... Alright, if I'm luck enough, it will be so cold that I will have to wear gloves, then no one will see it," Dipper looked outside, while turning the coffee machine on, and realizing that it was probably the hottest day in the year. "Of course not, right? It wouldn't be me after all."

He was back to glancing at his nails, and sighing with the realization that he would have to ask someone, or just google, how he would take that thing off his nail, "Guess I'm not leaving the apartment so soon"

After being privated from social life for an entire day, because, apparently, he had to go out and buy the thing needed to take that thing out of his nail, and he couldn't live the house with black nails, Dipper decided to do something he had never done. Actually organize his apartment.  

Now, it's not as if the flat was a complete mess, or as if it had tiny rats running around, it was, standardly looking, quite clean, except for the free room, that was full of boxes the boy had never opened. He wasn't much curious to learn what was inside those unopen things, or why he had chose to leave them that way, but he didn't have a lot of options. Of course, he could simply sit in his couch and watch him slowly turn into a couch potato, and although watching some crazy TV show was tempting, it wasn't exactly his life dream. 

If you are curious enough to know what was inside those boxes, well, pretty humiliating teenagehood things. Pictures, notebooks, CDs,  even a band poster, which he couldn't tell if it was his or Mabel's,  basically every type of thing you would love to burn, and keep as a secret.

When Wirt finally arrived home, all he wanted was to sit on the couch, turn the TV and chill. But his neighbor seemed to disagree with his idea, and whatever thing they were doing, was causing loud and annoying noises. "Uh, hey?" Wirt asked, knocking on the wall, "Hey, what are you up to?"

"Oh, sorry. I'm cleaning the apartment," the voice answered. 

"It sounds like you're fighting a war," Wirt sighed, not sure if he should turn the TV on or not. 

"Not very far from it though. I had a lot of unopened boxes, you know"

"Did you really have to do it today?"

"I had nothing better to do," the boy on the other side made a pause, "You know, maybe I find something that will help me with the nightmares" 

"Yeah, I think you have a point... Well, since it's for the greater good"

"Don't worry, I'll stop for today. I get you, it's super annoying when people keep on making annoying sounds and expect you to just accept them"

"Oh, thanks"

"No problem. Plus, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't even have slept at night, so I think I owe you one"
