dipper's pov:

When Pacifica and I left mayor Tyler's office I took a deep breath. I didn't want tot say it but, I wasn't sure how we were going to pull this off. I fixed my hat on my head and turned to Pacfica, "now that that's settled we need to move on to the next part of our plan." The blonde nodded "alright whats next?"  I thought for a moment. The next step is to go and check out the bubble, I sighed and spoke "We need to go and study the bubble, there are probably guards around it and who knows what they are capable of." Pacifica took out her pink gemstone covered cellphone and began texting faster than id ever seen anyone text before. I began walking an she followed easily next to me, almost like she'd always been able to text and walk at the same time.

When we got down the block near a gas station she finally looked up from her phone and towards me. "I have someone that can get us the supplies we need and a boat to get us to the island, Gideon also says we need to get back and that he found something he wants to show us" I nodded "then lets go" she put her phone away and for the first time ever, Pacifica and I took off down the street, running as fast as our legs could go. It was strange seeing her run, she was fast, even faster than me.

When we finally got to the mansion we stopped on the porch to catch our breath. running through town and then to the top of a huge hill isn't easy at all. Once we stopped panting I opened the door. Mabel was at the top of the stairs talking to Gideon when she saw us. She smiled widely at us as she always did and ran down the stairs "dipper! guess what we foun-" she was cut off as she tripped halfway down the stairs. I heard Pacifica gasp next to me as I ran forward to catch my sister, but before I could she began to glow neon blue and began floating. my eyes widened as I looked up at the albino boy at the top of the stairs, Gideon's hands were glowing the same color as Mabel. His right hand was down hanging limply at his side , his left hand was raised in the air.

Gideon gently lowered his hand and Mabel was set on her feet behind me at the bottom of the stairs. he then put his other hand up to reveal a small blue stone on a bracelet, much like his old amulet, around his neck and rushed down the stairs towards my sister. His southern voice rang in my ears before i could fully comprehend  what was going on "are you alright Mabel?" my sister nodded and giggled happily "yep! thanks so much Gideon" I looked back and forth between the two of them, Gideon's hands, and Pacifica's shocked face. "what just-?" Gideon turned to me lifting his wrists showing off his new bracelets "I found them in your uncle's lab while you were gone the other day" he turned it in his fingers "I just today got them to work" I stared at them and a grin appeared on my face "now we have a fighting chance against whatever or whoever has our uncles" Gideon nodded happily "I was just thinking the same thing" I smiled "alright lets gather everyone up again, tonight were going to the bubble"

*time skip, 8:00 pm*

I stood at the head of the table, everyone was here now. My sister, Gideon, Pacifica, Wendy, Candy, Grenda, Logan, Willow, Mcgucket, and finally Soos. They all sat around me as I cleared my throat. "Okay everyone, tonight we go in stealth mode, Gideon, Logan and I are going to the island on one of Pacifica's family's boats. The rest of you will stay here working behind the scenes to make sure our trip into the bubble goes smoothly." I paused "lets go you two" They stood up and the others began getting to work, as I was getting my stuff together Willow walked up to me "hey Dipper, can I talk to you for a sec?" I nodded and shouldered my bag, my special flashlight in hand as we walked out into the entrance hall Willow turned to me her blue eyes dark with anger "if my brother gets hurt on this mission, Bill and whoever is working for him will be the least of your worries" I gulped "g..got it"

It wasn't long before the other two and I were boarding the small row boat on the docks. I sat up front, Logan in the middle and Gideon in the back, once we were settled in Gideon used his powers to row the boat towards Scuttlebutt island. The fog was thick around us, once we were in the water I took a deep breath. I feel like I haven't had a proper breath all day, and I think Gideon could tell because as soon as I looked back up he spoke. "we'll get your great uncles back dipper, I promise."  he smiled and Logan nodded in agreement "He's right dude, from the things iv'e heard about those two I can tell their tough, they won't go down that easy." I nodded and took a breath "thanks guys, Mabel and I, we couldn't do this without you" I smiled.

We soon were approaching the shore of Scuttlebutt Island. The whole way there I was worried we'd run into one of those floating heads Mabel and I had once seen while filming my visual guide for the weird things in the town, but thankfully no heads appeared. Gideon guided the boat safely into the sandy beach and the three of us hoped out. It was quiet out, a little TOO quiet out for my liking. i got out my golf club from the floor of the boat, logan got his baseball bat and the three of us began walking to the middle of the island, using Gideon's magic to light the way. It's been a long time since iv'e set foot on this island, things have grown a lot over the last five years. I shook off all thoughts of the forest around us and began leading the way. We walked for awhile before we began to hear voices in the distance along with bright lights. as we approached I heard a very familiar voice "yes, and two more guards off to the south, we don't want anyone using the river to get here, especially those kids"  I peaked my head out from behind a tree, as did Logan and Gideon, and we were met with someone I never expected to see,

Pacifica's father, Preston Northwest.
