The Missing PineTree [BilDip]

The Photos

I'm happy. I can finally be happy again now that I'm back. Gravity Falls hasn't changed one bit and I love it.

I didn't go straight to the shack knowing someone, most likely Soos, will be there.

I headed towards Bill. Not knowing exactly where I was going but knew exactly where. Weird right? I just had this feeling he was off in one direction and started head in that way.

The feeling I had only got stronger as I approached a light yellow house. It wasn't to big but certainly wasn't small. The outside walls were a light yellow color with silver doors and window outlining. And was surrounded by trees and grass but oddly looked in place, like that house was supposed to be there.

I knocked on the door and Bill soon answered it. We both hugged for a long period of time, happy to see each other. He kissed me on the cheek and traded hats with me again.

"Gift from me to you." Was the first thing he said to me. A tear of happiness rolled down my cheek as he invited me inside. The house seemed so familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it.

"This used to be your house, well our house." Bill said as I continued to look around.

"It's all coming back to me. So we were here before Gravity Falls? How? How did all the life's we gave together fit in only a 200 year mark?"

"You don't remember the full past. Many times you didn't live to your destined death. You died a lot sooner and I brought you back every time." Bill said walking up behind me.

"Thank you, I have a request though." I paused and he nodded. "I want to become immortal but, I want to officially become immortal when I turn 24. Just so I won't be a kid forever and that's when I want it to happen." I explained.

"You got yourself a deal." Bill smiled and held out his hand. I gladly excepted it and we shook, making the deal official when our hands both engulfed in flames.

------------------------------------------------------

We both sat on the couch cuddling for what felt like ever but I didn't mind. I was glad to be in his arms again, no matter how old he is he's still the same person I met all those years ago.

As we sat there I started to look around at all the old photos. The first one I saw was in a faded black and white in a wooden frame. The second was not as faded but still black and white in another, but slightly darker, wooden frame. Next one had faded color in a white painted wooden frame. The one next to it was even more colorful but still a little faded in a black painted frame. Then one that was color and not faded in a white smooth frame. The last one was fully color and looked like it was only taken 10 or so years ago, it had a grey smooth, more modern, frame.

After looking at all the pictures I realized they had Bill and I in all of them. Some of them had other people but in every single one we were both smiling happily and always next to each other.

Bill noticed me looking at the pictures hanging on the walls and smiled.

"I remember every single picture we took together, we used to have some that were drawn for us since cameras weren't invented yet."

"What happened to those ones?" I asked looking up at him.

"Buried them with you, well when you.. you know.. died." He answered.

"Oh.. well I'm here and I'm glad we still have these."

"Every life we'd always end up coming back here, like we are now, and take a new photo. It is tradition now." He closed his eyes as if remembering when we took the pictures.

"Then we have to take another! It is tradition after all!" I stood up and dug through one of my backpacks and pulled out my camera.

"Here." I handed the camera to Bill and showed him how to use it, I gave it to him because he has longer arms.

We stood in front of the walls with the pictures and we both smiled brightly. After we heard the click we looked at the photo.

"Perfect, I'll go get this printed soon." I looked over at Bill and he hugged me.

"I'm so glad I had another chance with you." He whispered into my ear.

I hugged him back and we both sat back down on the couch and turned on the TV. We settled on some show I've never seen before but I didn't mind.

I soon started to drift off to sleep. When I heard Bill talk.

"To you miss them?" He asked.

"Yes.. but I'm glad I'm here with you.. finally."

Finally I'm here with you..

------------------------------------------------------

The next morning I woke up in a bed with Bill next to me. I looked at my wrist for some odd reason and remembered the mark Bill made last summer. Everyday at school I'd look at it and my parents even though I got a tatoo but I just said I drew in myself, again and again.

I looked over at Bill and heard soft snores come from him.

So cute.

I ran my fingers through his hair out of instinct and kissed his forehead before I got up.

I walk to the door and slowly opened it careful not to wake the other male. I walked down the all to familiar hallway and into the kitchen. I stopped walking as I realized something.

We can finally be together, forever nothing will get on our way.

I felt a grin grow on my face as I started to make breakfast.

--- Time Skip ---

Finishing up the food I heard Bill tumbling into the dining room then sat down.

"Morning." I said placing a plate of eggs and other breakfast things in front of him.

"Morning PineTree." He said then happily took a bite of the food.
"Now I know I don't have to eat but this is great! Your cooking skills have once again increased." He complimented.

"Thank you Bill." I took a bite of my food and realized what he had been talking about. I didn't know my food was this good, even though it was just eggs, bacon, toast and hash brown's.

We finished eating and got ready for the day. I headed out to go get that photo printed out and buy a new frame. Now I know Bill could have done this easily with a snap of his fingers but I liked doing things manually.

I couldn't decide what frame looked best with the picture so I asked many people but got different answers every time. So I decided to go with a glass frame with a silver outline.

Looks good enough.

I bought the frame with some money Bill gave me and headed back home quickly just to make sure no one I know notices me.

I opened the front door of the yellow house and set the picture and frame and the dining room table. I started cleaning whatever I could around the house only to notice Bill wasn't home. I shrugged it off and sat on the couch them stated to watch TV.
