Just as your hand was going pull on the door handle, someone had already swung it open.

How does this kid always seem to appear at the door when I'm here?

He jumped, startled before his scared expression dropped and he said, "Oh hey Y/N." He didn't seem to notice Bill yet, which was odd. You turned around to see Bill hiding behind you, making him pop out to the side. "Oh, who's your friend?"

You glanced at Bill, seeing his face beginning to shake in some sort of uncontrollable anger. His blind eye began to twitch heavily, and his breathing began to speed up. He looked like he was about to choke him. He clearly didn't think this meeting through.

Your eyes widening, you grabbed his hand and held it up, using your other to rub his own. "He's- ah, he's my b-boyfriend...?" you said unsure, astonished to see that you rubbing your thumb in circles on the back of his hand was actually making him calm down. "Uh, sweetheart, introduce yourself."

(Put your ship name here lmao)

Finally, Bill managed to compose himself, so he straightened up his back confidently, stuck out his free hand, and gave Dipper a weak smile. "Name's Brendan. Brendan Summers!" he exclaimed, before you gave him a small jab to his side to remind him not to act like his usual self.

Dipper stared at his hand and blinked, almost as if he were in a daze. "Sorry... I just... I just had a weird sense of déjà vu. I'm Dipper." He shook Bill's hand, before inviting the both of you in.

Bill glowered and stared holes into the back of Dipper's head, which he probably would have done for real, had he had his powers.

"So what brings you guys here?"

"Dunno, just wanted to visit. How's Mabel?"

"Y/N!!" A loud voice suddenly screeched and bounced off of the walls, making you clasp your hands over your ears. "You're back!"

Mabel jumped at you and wrapped her arms around your torso making you let go of Bill's hand. (You didn't even realise that you were still holding it until that point.) Now that you looked at her closer, she was probably 17 rather than 15/16. "Oooh! Show me more of your magic!" She waved her fingers at you spookily.

"Uh, I'm sure one wouldn't hurt." You walked over to a nearby wall and put your arm through it almost like a ghost, making Mabel gasp dramatically and Dipper run over to you. "Woah."

Just as you were going to pull your arm back out, it turned opaque and wouldn't remove itself from the wall. "Oh my god- I think I'm stuck!" A red liquid began to seep from from where your arm was in, and you screamed.

This caused Dipper and Mabel to begin to freak out and shriek, and Bill to laugh loudly.

Your scared look changed into a devilish smirk, making your arm go clear to pull it out again. "Ha, gotcha."

Dipper put a hand over his heart, and heaved up and down dramatically, "Y-you shouldn't do that!"

Mabel's response was completely different since she was jumping up and down excitedly. "Again, again!" She clapped her hands together enthusiastically. Bill looked at her and grinned, making you frown faintly.
