Dipper woke up in the morning and tried on his new clothes, he risk the fact that they haven't been washed yet. He does he normal routine and with his sister, they went to school.

"Look at you bro bro, you look like a hot nerd now" Mabel whistled.

"I do?" Dipper asked, he is currently wearing black long pants with a white button up shirt, his now favourite jacket with sleeves rolled up to his elbow, and his famous pine tree hat.

"Well, duh, you're not the buff type, no offence" Mabel said.

"Then what type am I?" Dipper asked.

"The cute on!" Mabel said "You're those cute nerd who is like a cinnamon roll, if you're in a relationship, you're definitely the bottom."

"M-Mabel!" Dipper squeaked, embarrassed with the topic.

"What? It's true" Mabel said. "Don't be offended or anything, but you have a very feminine figure"

"I do not" Dipper huffed with embarrassment.

"You can wear female clothes! my clothes!" Then Mabel gasped loudly. "You could be my twin sister! we can wear the same clothes and be twinsies!"

"shut up!" Dipper said face red, he is not cute, he does not have a feminine figure, he's manly!

At least that's what he said to himself, is he manly? He done a lot manly things since he was twelve, like he help chop woods, he fights bats, he fix things, but he also lost that manly machine, but he was twelve at that time! He is manly now right? Does he really have a feminine body? Mabel made him wear her clothes once, it fits well, but, THAT NOT IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW! But if he was in a relationship, is he the bottom? He pretty sure he might? He can never really see himself being the ones who flirts and start all those couple things. But he is overthinking things right? right. probably. But then-

"Psst! Dipper!" Mabel whispered.

"Yeah?" Dipper asked snapped out of his zoning out.

"People are totally checking you out!" Mabel whispered shouted.

"Really?" Dipper asked then look around, he saw some people look at him and some girls giggling, if it wasn't for Mabel's warning, he would just think they're weird.

"Um yeah, they are" Dipper said rubbing his neck awkwardly.

"See! a better choice of clothes makes you looks better" Mabel said happily.

"Dipper! Mabel!" Someone shouted ending their conversation.

"Hey!" Dipper greeted.

"Candy!" Mabel exclaimed. "What's up?"

"As a member of the school events, there will be a play happening, and I wanted to ask if you guy wanted to join" Candy explained.

Mabel gasped loudly. "We totally should!"

"Mabel! you know I'm not the sociable type" Dipper said.

"Mhmm! Mhmm! and done!" Mabel said finishing signing her's and her brother's name.

"Thank you so much! I'll email you guys once we got everyone! now I'll see if anyone else going to join!" Candy said running off.

"Mabel! you gotta tell her to erase my name!" Dipper exclaimed.

"No can do bro bro, it's Mabel's special permanent marker." Mabel said waving it around, and Dipper groaned in annoyance, he can remember the time she write on wood with that pen and it's impossible to get the ink out.

"But then it's like a social club and you know me" Dipper said trailing off.

"It's a chance for you to make new friends bro bro, like seriously, have you ever make a friend on your own account before?" Mabel asked.

"Yes?..." 

"Name one"

"I-uh..."

"Exactly." Mabel stated.

"It's time for class!" Dipper said, ending the conversation and went to his class quickly.

________________________________________

A few days had past, Dipper was grimly ready his text message from Candy about the play at lunch, he was waiting for Mabel and her friends, which was weirdly late for today.

Dipper! Thanks for signing up with your sister

Our play  is an original written play by the Drama Club.

Great... Dipper thought as he rolled his eyes, the members of the Drama club are very... dramatic. Based on his detective skills, it'll probably a romance play.

The play shall be present at the end of the school year,

since it's already halfway through the school year, you will stay after school everyday

if we need anymore work done, then we'll meet in the weekends for practices. 

Practices are at our school theatre, got there immediately when you're out of class.

See you at practice today.

The School Play Council.

Wait, there is practice today? He have to text Stan, Dipper quickly text Stan about the play and Stan respond with an okay.

"Bro Bro!" Dipper heard, he look up to see Mabel running to him with a magazine his her hand, which was all over the place, to make things worst, Grenda and Candy was behind her squealing crazily, while Pacifica follow them with a grin on her face.

"What is it?" Dipper asked warily, he does not like where this is going.

"Look at this! LOOK AT IT!" Mabel shouted showing the magazine to his face.

"Mabel calm down!" Dipper gasped begging for air.

"Sorry bro bro, but look" Mabel said giving him the magazine, which was open to a page called cute cam.

Cute Cam! cute boys picture that was captured secretly in Gravity Falls.

 On the page, there are some pictures of cute boy, Dipper had to admit, but what shocked him is there is a picture of him at the Mall with Mabel and Pacifica on the second page.

"Wha-What is this" Dipper sneaked, clearly flustered.

"Don't you see, you're cute! That's what according to Gravity Falls Girl's Magazine." Mabel exclaimed.

"See, theres the hot cam" Mabel said flipping to a page which Dipper can see pictures of boys who looks cool, and he was not surprised to see a picture of Bill Cipher in there.

"the cute cam" She said flipping back to the page before.

"and the bad boy cam" Mabel said flipping to the last one.

"Okay, this is getting awkward" Dipper gulped.

"This means the public thinks your cute!" Mabel exclaimed.

"I-i just don't know wether to be happy or not" Dipper said.

"People think I'm attractive, yeah sure, that's great-"

"It's great!"

"But you know I don't like a lot of attention..." Dipper trailed off.

"Why wouldn't you want attention? It's so fun! You're always shy and doing nerd stuff" Mabel complained.

"Mabel... Dipper is not like you, he likes things his own way, don't force him" Pacifica cut her off, she smiled at Dipper, and Dipper smiled back in return.

"I guess I must've been pushy, sorry bro bro" Mabel sighed.

"It's okay" Dipper smiled.

"Anyways, it's almost class time, and I want to remind you guys the practice is today" Candy said.

"I'll be there" Dipper said.

"Me too!" Pacifica said.

"Wouldn't miss it" Mabel added.

"I CAN"T WAIT!" Grenda shouted.

"Wait, wait, you signed up too?" Dipper pointed at Pacifica and Grenda.

"Of course, I also ask them, Grenda helps with the props and set ups" Candy answered.

"Why does she get to do props and set ups?" Dipper asked.

"Because she signed up for it, Mabel and you signed up for actors" Candy explained.

"Mabel! you didn't tell me we have multiple choices!" Dipper complained.

"Sorry bro bro, I just think you might want to act out as a character" Mabel said.

"Why would I want to act as a character?!" Dipper grumbled.

Mabel simply shrugged making an "mhm" sound and Dipper sighed.

"See you guys at practice, I want to be early for my class"Dipper said standing up.

He walk out of the cafeteria and went to his latin class, there were two choices, latin and french, you could tell Dipper chose latin and Mabel went with the other,  he wanted to learn latin because it's always have been an interesting language to him.

One of the ancient language, some believes it to be the language of magic, and Dipper loves to ready old books for research, wether is it about the culture at that time, or the myths and legends the people believes in.

He went in Mr. Andrias class and saw some students getting into their seats already, this was his favourite class, he was seated next to the window in the back, Dipper favourite spot, but fat plays a cruel fate on him and have Bill Cipher in that class with him.

He is shy and overthink sometimes, but he finds Cipher somewhat annoying and feel quite irritated and something off around Cipher.

Still having some times left, Dipper pulled out his laptop and type down his ideas and continue his writing, he has this big idea for his big story, his story is about a brother and a sister, maybe they can be twins? Dipper had made they're personality like he himself and his sister, the younger brother being shy but attracted to the supernatural, while the older sister is social and very optimist.

So the big idea is they went to an unknown town surrounded by the woods, they're staying with a relative that they had never met, a great uncle, the younger brother found a journal filled with informations of Dipper's made up creatures, like gnomes, leprecorn, gremloblins. The siblings would go on adventures and discover mysteries, the younger brother would mostly be the wise kind and do the work, while the sister would be the person who keeps everyone spirits up and bond everyone together.

Dipper had made some adventures about the siblings finding a lake monster, fighting living wax figures, meeting ghost. He could make a cartoon of these in the future! But Dipper wants all the adventure to be connected, have a continuity after each adventures. Dipper had written about a creep villain based on a real person named Gideon and make him super crazy mad, but he sees that it's still not enough.

So more ideas seem to come over time like what if there are other journals? What if Gideon have one? What if the great uncle have a secret uncle? But Dipper needs a main villain, a big bad villain who could be all powerful and wants to take over the world, but with a valid reason, right? Or he can make that main villain to take over the world for fun? But that'll be weird.

Dipper was having a writer's block, he needs something, the design of the character, he already drawn out some and it surprisingly similar to his normal life, but he didn't care. Dipper groaned silently, fingers rubbing his eyes in slight irritation.

He sighed, he will work on the big ideas over time, now he could write about mini adventures that can just improve the characters' bond. Dipper look up to see class about to start, feeling someone staring at him on the side of his head, glancing nervously to see Cipher there looking bored.

Cipher looked bored, Dipper would've mind about how he didn't take classes seriously, but when there are test and questions, Cipher always knows the answer and surprisingly good, he is like all knowing or something, Dipper envy Cipher about that sometimes, Dipper loves latin, he even took extra study online and is great at the language, but he wants to know latin like his first language also.

Cipher look at him, Dipper now realising he was staring jumped from slight surprised, he looks away quickly, blushing in embarrassment as Cipher grinned. Class went by fast and Dipper could feel the staring intensified. 

Luckily the bell rang, and so Dipper went to his next class, the Gym, Dipper groaned internally, he hates the exercising, it makes him extra sweating and exhausted.

He went to the changer room and changed into his school gym clothes, then went out to se some students talking to Mr. Burners, he didn't hate the teacher, Mr. Burners was not his type of guy, somehow Dipper feels like Mr. Burners picks on him sometimes by giving him extra laps and exercise, and Mr Burners seem to don't have an inside voice, so Dipper can say, he is somewhat scared of the teacher.

"Good afternoon everyone! Today we will be working on Volleyball passes! But first! 5 warm up laps!" Mr. Burners shouted and people groaned.

"Quit your groaning and RUN!" He shouted and everyone did what they was asked to do.

That class was hell to Dipper, he felt himself sweating non stop and constantly drinking a lot of water, at the end of the class he was covered in sweat and full of water, so he went to the bathroom, too lazy to change and not wanting to get his new clothes covered in sweat, Dipper shrugged and went to the school's theatre anyways.

Dipper arrived, spotting his sister and her friends, with some students he saw in class, he walk and sat next to Mabel.

"Ew! Don't touch me bro bro, you're full of sweat" Mabel complained.

"Oh yeah? How about I do this?" Dipper asked he quickly touch her and Mabel back away sawing 'Ew' over and over again.

Both Dipper and Mabel giggled childishly.

"Afternoon everyone! I'm Ms. Melody, your teacher advisor, this is Emma and Emily, your play director." Ms. Melody said, she was tall, long blonde and skinny, she looks like she's in her 30s with wrinkles but calm and happy.

"Hello everyone! We're the leaders of the school play council" Emma said, she was a platinum blonde and seems cheerful.

"Thanks for signing up for helping our play" Emily said, she had dark brown hair, and she seems confident. "We and the drama club" She points her hand to the group of drama kids "had written a play, and before we started, I want those he sign up to act and those who signs up to help with the set ups to separate. Actors on the right and Set ups on the left"

People stood up and walk over to their sides, sitting in the red comfortable chairs of the theatre.

"I, Emma, will help those who act, we will have you each to act some lines and everyone will vote for the spot they think you'll fit in" Emma said. "No matter what, you have to get that spot, even if it's a role that is opposite to your gender."

"And I, Emily, will teach those who needs to know about the set ups and I will signal you at times you need to change the setting, I will have groups working with lighting, sound check, and stage set ups"

People murmurs at each other, some deciding what group to choose, and some worries getting the role they didn't want.

"We would like you to know, the theatre is like a family, so we want you all to have fun and bond together" Emma said.

"So let's start, chop chop!" Emily shouted.

Emma went to Dipper's group handing a piece of paper for each person.

"Sorry I'm late!" A door slamming with a voice follows interrupts what they're doing, people look up, even Dipper, to see Bill Cipher.

"Ah... Bill! you better not be late next time! Now going the group" Emma said arms crossed.

Oh no, Cipher joined for the play?!

"Sorry, sorry" Cipher said getting a piece of paper and flop down next to Dipper.

"Now, each two sentences is from each main characters, if you don't make the role, then you'll be the secondary character, no volunteers" Emma said. "So you each will takes turns to go up and pour out your emotion on acting, I would be the judge and so will be the group so pay attention."

So the person who at the first in the row went up, who was Mabel, and Dipper sat at the end.

"Psst! Pines, never thought you were the type to participate" Cipher.

"N-no, m-my sister just sign me up" Dipper grumbled still facing Mabel, who seemed too cheerful for saying a sad line.

"That's her right?" Cipher asked.

"Yeah." Dipper answered.

"She's so cheerful, like a, Star, a Shooting Star!" Cipher exclaimed.

"yeah she is" Dipper sighed smiling.

"And you're Pine Tree" Cipher said.

"P-Pine Tree?" Dipper questioned.

"Yeah, cause your hat, also your last name is Pines" Cipher pointed out.

"That's the weirdest nickname I've ever got" Dipper giggled.

"Shh!" Emma shushed loudly, but her focus was on the next person and her board right now, while Mabel skips back to her seat happily.

Several people went up, Dipper noted how each time some line could be improve if they have more sadness or sincereness in it, he decided to study what to say and improvise it in his imagination.

It was some time until it was Dipper's turn, he went up and look at the lines.

"Williams" Emma said.

"Oh, love,  my dear sweet angel" Dipper said trying to be flirty. "I know we're different but I can't stop loving you."

"Elise"

"I don't like this, I don't want to live like this" Dipper said in a rebellious voice. "I want to be free" He imagined himself wandering the woods.

"Eliza"

"Oh I found love, I love her" Dipper said, honestly don't know what to do "I hopes she loves me."

"Maria"

"work, work, work" Dipper said tiredly, "that's what I do all day, until I see her"

Now Dipper was done, Cipher went up next, Dipper watches and he had to admit, Cipher fits with the William role very much, it's funny since Bill or Will is short for William.

"Okay, we're done for the day" Emma said to the ten people group. "On you papers, I want you to write a name of a person you think is qualified for the role, remember gender doesn't matter."

People start getting out their pens

"I think I know who to choose, but I want second opinions, hopefully, we will know the roles tomorrow." Emma continued. "This is Mabel, Pacifica, Ava, Madison, George, Ethan, Benjamin, Daniel, Bill, and Dipper" she introduced everyone.

"Huh, Dipper, what's an unusual name" Cipher told Dipper.

"It's just my nickname I got since I was 6" Dipper said.

"And why's that Pine Tree~?" Cipher asked.

"It's none of your business. Cipher" Dipper blushed when he thinks about his birthmark.

"Cipher? Just call me Bill" Bill exclaimed.

"Okay..." Dipper said, he wrote Bill's name next to william, Ava next to Elise, Mabel next to Eliza,and Pacifica next to Aria.

"Here ya go Emma" Dipper said handing her the piece of paper, she looks at him from the top to bottom and nodded.

"Thanks Dipper" Emma said.

Dipper got his bag and went over to Mabel.

"I wonder what's the story about" Dipper wondered.

"Me too" Mabel added. "I bet it's about love"

"Well, it's quite obvious because there is always love in plays, and the lines we read is about love, I think there's also about free-"

"Pfft! You're turning drama into boring nerd analysing!" Mabel complained. "Oh wait for me! I'm going to talk to Emma!"

Mabel perked up as if she remembered something, she skips over to Emma, Dipper watches as the girls exchange about something, Mabel seems excited and Emma seems approved.

"So how's you're play thing kiddos?" Stan asked eating his dinner.

"It's a lot of fun, we auditioned today! We don't know what the plays about yet, but I convinced the leader of the ply council to let me help with the costume!" Mabel exclaimed.

"So that's what you're talking about to Emma" Dipper said.

"Duh! Now I have a whole play as my canvas for my sewing skills, Emma even gives me the designs for the main characters, she'll come over some times so we can discussed about it!" Mabel exclaimed happily.

"So... Dipper, how was it?" Stan asked.

"Oh, it's was good, I-i guess? Mabel's lucky that the play gives me service hours for my college application" Dipper said.

"But I saw you talking to Cipher when I auditioned!" Mabel said nudging her brother slightly.

"Bill just says he never thought I would be the theatre type, and gave
