Stanford's pov:

This can't be happening. After all we've done!? We've erased him from my brother's mind, he was trapped in there! Is this just a coincidence? No Stanford! There are no such things as coincidences, you know this more than anyone! But then why her? Why someone who has never met him and didn't even set foot into this place when he was out?! I mean, our families have been friends for centuries, did I mention them to him back when we were friends? But even so, he wouldn't have been able to go out and contact them! Unless-

"Will you stop pacing and mumbling?! You're making the kids nervous and I'll have to act like a responsible adult!" 

"Ah- sorry about that. It's just it doesn't make any sense." Dipper too seems deep in thought. "Have you ever been to Gravity Falls before?" That's not a bad question my young protégé. She softly shakes her head no as she takes a sip from her tea, Mabel softly braiding her hair trying to keep her calm. So hasn't been here before, maybe her parents? What am I saying, of course her parents have been here before, just not after I've met that demon. My eyes fall on her as she softly speaks up, her voice barely over a whisper. "I've been having these nightmares-" "Nightmares?" She nods. "They start with screams and the sky turning red. I try to look around but everywhere I look people are petrified, just turning into statues right in front of me. I try to close my eyes again and block out the screams and when I try to look around again for a safe spot all I can see is a pine tree forest and the night sky turning all black with only the shooting stars and a blood moon to light my path. There's a hole in the ground- some kind of bunker with stashes of canned food. Then when I turn around I'm standing in front of me- but-" The girl starts to stutter, choking up on her words. Panicking not knowing what's appropriate for children I quickly give her a stun gun. "Don't worry! You can hold this on you at all times! It's- appropriate to give children these in this dimension right?" The girl softly chuckles as she puts it in her lap and dries her eyes. She looks up at me and I feel my bones chill. "I see me and someone who's not me says; I can see you Twinkle-toes." 

Twinkle- toes? That's one- the entire room goes quiet looking up at me. "Stan- isn't that?" I nod terrified. "It means he's not dead. And somehow he's got a connection with the kid. But this time, we'll be prepared. Send everyone that was involved in the circle a message.  We might be able to draw the circle this time when he comes back."

"You mean if he comes back, right grunkle ford?" I sigh and slightly kneel down, putting my hand on Mabel's head. "I'm sorry kid. But I'm afraid he's got tricks up his sleeve and will find a way to come back. We must warn everyone out there not to make any deals with him. We can only hope to stall him while we start gathering materials and preparations to fortify all houses. We'll try to make sure everyone is as safe as they can be when the inevitable happens." 

"Ah shit. Well, who wants pizza tonight? I sure as hell ain't cooking." My brother wasn't met with a very cheerful response though he did get some I's in there. I softly pat the kid's back as she looks out the window worriedly. "Don't worry kid, we've beaten the shit out of him before, and we'll do it again. This time we'll be prepared." She softly nods as we look off into the sunset as Mabel is chasing her pig and making Dipper help her get Waddles.
