The next day Dipper woke up more bright eyed and bushy-tailed than ever. He jumped on Mabel to wake her up.
"Don't forget to greet everyday with a smile!" he said with a very creepy grin.

"Huh?" Mabel said sleepily as Dipper left the room, already dressed.

By the time Stan got up to cook breakfast, he seen it had already been made!
"Don't forget your proteins!" Dipper said as he rolled some sausages onto Stan's pancake.

Mabel walked into the kitchen.
"What's going on here?" She asked.

"Care for a pai- pancake?" Dipper asked.

"Woah, these look amazing, don't mind if I do." Mabel replied. Even though they enjoyed this both Mabel and Stan found this behavior rather suspicious. But that didn't stop them from eating the pancakes and sausages!

Dipper had been like this the whole day. Helping people. Being over friendly and being overall happy. Mabel knew because she was spying on him.

"I just don't get it." Mabel said.

"Maybe he was thinking when he was looking at the ceiling." Stan said.

"No, not that.... how his mood completely changed from yesterday."

"I know right?" Wendy joined."Before I thought it was weird... but now it's just, creepy."

"Yeah Doods, Dipper's been acting real weird lately. Today, I seen him helping a completely random customer. He's like, never done that before!" Soos added.

This great niece to great uncle chat had just become a giant conversation. About how Dipper's good behavior was creepy, weird and seemed unnatural.

After a few more minutes of talking, Dipper was about to come in. Until he overheard what they were talking about. Dipper was furious.They were talking about him! He had bottled up his emotions to have one nice day, and this is how they repay him?!?

"This is what you do?!?" Dipper yelled as he bursted through the entrance.
"I try to be the best I can for one day and you go and talk behind my back?!?" The other's could almost see the fire in his eyes, he was so angry.

He grabbed Stan by the tie. Stan's eyes widened. "I don't want you EVER talking about me behind my back AGAIN!" he said sternly. "or else." he muttered as he left to go upstairs.

The others, in their state of shock could hear Dipper slam the door to his and Mabel's room.

Dipper looked in his mirror, to see some crazy angry kid looking back at him. He was confused when he seen the eyes of this kid. He shook his head and the yellow eyes were normal. His look softened, he fixed his hair, put his hat, which he hadn't worn in days back on and calmed himself. That's the me I know. So who was that other guy? He thought to himself.

Why had he been so happy? Not because he 'Bottled up his emotions'. It was because of his dream. Dipper could only remember it had a happy ending... It was the first one in a long time.

It was also the fist time he felt like himself again....
