AHHH THE COMMENTS OMG they make me so happy!! And I apologize if this story is going really slowly like with the plot I've been trying to figure out a good way to kind of fit all the citrine stone stuff in with the romantic stuff so ARGH I'm such a bad writer! Sorry :(
But I'm so glad you're enjoying the book and here is another kind-of long chapter? Okay enjoy!
-----------------------------------

You were sitting at the small dining table in the Mystery Shack with Mabel, drinking some "Mabel Juice". Which was basically fruit punch in a blender with glitter and plastic rainbow dinosaurs. Somehow it tasted okay. Right now the two of you were ruling out possible suspects. "I'm totally on your side that Bill isn't behind this, y/n," Mabel declared, taking a sip of juice, "Dipper's just being a dork."

You laughed and rested your head on your hands. "But I don't know who else could want it. I'm thinking someone who lives here and has been around magical, supernatural-like things before."

"Yeah," Mabel said, rubbing her chin, "the only people who have maybe done that are Wendy and her friends. And Wendy definitely is not after the stone."

"Yes!" You gasped, suddenly really excited. "We should go interrogate all of her friends!" Mabel laughed and pumped her fist in the air, "oh yea! Interrogation!"

"I can go along with you guys if you want," Dipper said, coming into the kitchen. He had been doing a few chores for Stan and had been listening to their conversation. You smiled a little and nodded. You were still upset about Dipper accusing Bill over and over again, but you were still willing to give him another chance. "Great," he smiled, "we can go this afternoon!"

In a flash of white light a familiar yellow suit-clad man appeared beside you. You jumped a little, startled, but immediately relaxed once you realized who it was. "Sorry Pine Tree," Bill said, tipping his top hat, "I'm stealing y/n for a minute." Then everything slowed into dreamscape and Bill turned to you. "So y/n!" He said, rubbing the back of his head nervously, "do you want to go on that thing humans go on when they like eachother with me this afternoon? I meant to ask you this morning but you went to work before I could."

Your heart skipped a beat. A date? With Bill Cipher? Hang on a second, had he just admitted his feelings? He just straight up told you he liked you. "Oh! Um," you stumbled over your words, heart beating super fast, "sure! I mean, yeah, okay. Of course! Wait, do you like me? Um, because, well uh..."

"Yeah, I like you," Bill smirked. He floated over to you and took your hand. You were flipping out inside but tried to stay cool. First a kiss and now a proper date! "I really need to look for 'suspects' today," you pointed out but Bill just flapped a hand in the air. "You can go on your little investiagation with Shooting Star and Pine Tree after our date!" Then the grey of the dreamscape disappeared and you slowly opened your eyes to see Mabel and Dipper staring at you. Not your face, your hand. You glanced down at your right hand and remembered with a start you and Bill were holding hands. You pulled away, embarrassed. "I have something to do this afternoon guys," you said quickly, hoping they would buy your lame excuse, "so how about tomorrow evening?" You swallowed as you saw Dipper squint his eyes, suspicious, but nodded and let you go. As soon as you and Bill were outside he snapped and transported the two of you to the forest. You and Bill talked while you strolled down the dirt path that cut its way and curved through the Gravity Falls pine forest. It was really peaceful and you were in such a good mood. You really like Bill, he was such a gentleman...at times...and had an amazing sense of humour. You honestly couldn't remember the last time you had laughed this much. At one point as you were walking you and Bill passed a deer standing next to a tree. "Ooo, look!" You smiled and pointed to it. It was so cute, with it's short tail and big ears. Deer had to be one of your favourite animals. "You like deer teeth?" Bill asked. You were kind of confused. "Um, not the teeth specifiacally..."

The next thing you knew the deer's mouth opened and all of its teeth were pulled out of its gums, sailing through the air and into Bill's black-gloved hand. "Here you go, kid," Bill smiled and extended his teeth-filled hand towards you. You cringed and quickly told him to put them back. You watched in disgust as Bill, using his powes, made each tooth smash through the deer's gums again. As soon as the process was over the deer ran away as fast as possible.

"Youre sick, Bill," you said softly and he laughed. You didn't really find it funny. "That's exactly what Pine Tree said when I showed him my powers for the first time," Bill smiled. The two of you continued walking. Maybe Dipper knew what he was talking about when he said not to trust Bill. Perhaps he had seen some things worse than deer teeth being extracted. You were about to question Bill about it when you reached a clearing with a picnic blanket spread out on bright green grass. There was all your favourite foods laid out. "Bill!" You exclaimed, smiling widely, "how did you know what my favourite foods are?!"

"Easy, I go into your mind," Bill shrugged. You stepped back. "Whoa! What? You go into my mind?" He smiled, shrugging again, "all the time. Mostly your dreams. I usually watch your dreams or create your dreams."

"Bill!" You yelled, then took a deep breath and started walking towards the picnic. "Don't do that, okay?" You ordered and he laughed but agreed. If there was an embarrassing dream or anything, you definetely did not want Bill seeing that. It kind of made you uncomfortable that Bill could pretty much read your mind, he knew the future, your future. He knew who you married, what happens to you, when you die. You got a kind of chill down your spine, not sure if from the thought of Bill knowing your death or the fact that Bill knew who you got married to, if you ever did get married. You were just a bit self-concious around Bill and always felt like he knew more about you than you knew about yourself, which was kind of troubling.

Nonetheless you enjoyed your lunch, talking and laughing with Bill. He really was handsome as a human. You almost couldn't keep your eyes off of him, admiring his smile and his laugh and the way he constantly winked at you.

Halfway through eating you heard the rustle of leaves behind you. It was probably a bird, but you noticed Bill staring at something over your shoulder. You turned around too and spotted a black figure sitting in a tree branch behind you. "That's him! That's who's after the stone," you exclaimed. The black hooded figure fell from the branch, waving his arms clumsily around and hit the ground with a soft "ow." Yeah, definetely one of Wendy's friends. But which one?! It looked most like Robbie, but then again he wasn't really Wendy's friend anymore and you hadn't heard from him in an extremely long time. You got up and started racing towards him. "Hey! Who are you?!" You yelled, chasing the guy through the thick brush of the woods. "Why are you after our citrine stone?!" You were finally in range and reached out for his hood to pull it off of his face when you saw a hand from the corner of your eye and then a burning sensation in your cheek. You fell on to your butt and your hand flew to your cheek, rubbing it. That really hurt. You were so shocked and the guy was just standing there. He looked like he was fighting between apologizing and helping you up or just run away. This couldn't be one of Wendy's friends, they were all your friends too! You knew for a fact none of your homies would slap you like this. You were about to open your mouth to demand that they reveal their identity when you felt a hand on your shoulder. Bill.

He helped you stand up and he glared at the guy who hit you, eyes blazing. His hands lit up in that blue fire, but instead of blue it was bright red, just like the glow of his face and the shadows of his, all omitting this dark red colour. His eyes were black and red, and his hair looked like fire. "Do you have any idea what I'm like when I'm mad?" He growled and the guy began bolting away. Bill disappeared and you watched the hooded dude run away, out of your range of view.

Okay, so you were in pain in a dark forest all alone. You had no idea where Bill went to, and now there was a strange man after your necklace. You felt your collarbone area and felt the bump of the stone underneath your shirt. It pressed up against your skin, making that spot cold. You breathed a sigh of relief and attempted to stand up. You had a cell phone, you could probably call Dipper and ask for him to come get you. But then you'd have to tell him Bill ditched you and Dipper would never let you hear the end of it, constantly bragging to you about how he "was right." You groaned and stood, still holding your hand to your cheek. Was Bill even coming back? Had he really left you? It was really scary here at night, there was a ton of supernatural beings and you had no idea how to get home.

"I'm back," his voice said loudly and you half-screamed, whirling around but calming down as soon as you saw his face. You couldn't help it. You charged towards him and tackled him in a hug. You buried your face into his chest and let silent tears roll down your face. You didn't know exactly why you were crying, probably out of the fear of being left out in the forest in the dark.

"Whoa, whoa," Bill chuckled, arms out in front of him. He clearly wasn't used to getting hugs. Slowly he wrapped his arms around you and hugged back, smoothing your hair with his hand. He was back to his normal cheery self, not in weird angry red mode anymore. "He-hey kid, are you okay?"

You didn't reply, just kept hugging him, not even loosening your grip a little or letting go. You felt safe around Bill, not scared of anything. He gave you your courage, you realized that now. "Sorry," you finally said after about ten minutes of just standing there in his warm hug. You took a step back and tried to looked your best and attempt to not look like you just bawled your eyes out. Bill stared at you, searching your face for something, you didn't know what. "Y/n," he said quietly, "don't ever do that again."

"Do what?" You asked, furrowing your eyebrows in confusion. He sighed, looking at you with his one non-eyepatch covered eye. "Don't ever cry again, okay? It makes me wanna cry, something I've never done before. It makes me want to do it, and I don't, so stop crying."

You rubbed your eyes and giggled, finally cracking a small smile. He grinned and took your hand and you walked back to your apartment together.
