"Daddy?" A little boy asked walking around in his house. "Yes dear?" The father asked his boy as he sat reading a novel on the recliner in the living room.

"I saw something." The little boy said carrying his stuffed animal dear his older sister had given him before she left. "What'd you see?" His father asked as his son sat on the couch next to the recliner. "I saw a ghost!" The boy said. "Ghost aren't real honey." His father said. "But demons and vampires are!" The boy said. "Yes but all ghost are stuck in the dreamscape." His father clarified.

"Well can't they escape like demons can?" The little boy asked. "Listen. Just cause demons can be summoned and can escape the mindscape doesn't mean ghost are powerful enough. Besides most souls are collected by demons as energy." His father said.

"But-" "No dear. I'm positive no ghost in their right mind would enter a ciphers household." The father said. "Kk daddy! Good night!" The boy said skipping off, very happy with his father's answer. "Good night my dearest. Sweet dreams bill." The father whispered as his son skipped off.

"Dipper!" Mabel screamed across the room. "What!" He yelled back. "There's another ghost in the closet!" She yelled. "I'll get the mirror, you get the water and tape!" He said standing up and running to the bathroom. He pulled open mabel's drawer and found a small makeup mirror. He went to the closet which he assumed mabel ment because that's the way she came from and waited for her.

About 10 minutes later mabel had grey duct tape and a glass of water. "Here bro-bro." She said handing him the things and backed up a bit. Dipper opened the door and a small girl wearing a flower dress was crying in the closet. She said something along the lines of her mother and father fighting and a gun being fired. Dipper kneeled down next to the child and put on a small smile.

"Are you okay?" Dipper asked quietly. She looked up with white threatening eyes. "I won't harm you. I promise. I just want to talk okay?" Dipper said placing the things behind him and sitting cris-cross-applesauce. "O-Okay." She said with her eyes turning into a watery blue. "What's wrong?" He said placing a hand on the girls knee. "M-My dad shot my m-mom and then killed m-me." She said tearing up. "It'll be okay. Me and my sister mabel can bring you to your mom." I said patting her.

"You know Pine tree you'd make a great mom. Just saying." A familiar annoying voice said from behind me. The little girl shook and hide behind me. "Bill!" Mabel said harshly. "What?" He asked innocently. "We're trying to send this little girl back to her mother!" Mabel hissed. "P-Pine tree?" The girl asked. "Oh! No my name is dipper." Dipper said lifting his arm to peek at the girl.

"Who is that? He is scary." The girl said. "Good! You should fear me you low-" "Bill!" Dipper said interrupting bill. "Pine tree! Don't side with that thing over me!" Bill said. "Ugh! Just leave." Mabel hissed at bill.

"I can't! Now I have somethings to retrieve for my plan! Everything is falling into place. I just came to drop in and see how my favorit meatbag!" Bill said. "Flattering." Dipper said rolling his eyes. "Aww. Your welcome Pine tree. Welp! Must be going! Gotta world to ruin!" Bill said before...winking? Maybe blinking? I don't know. He left is the point.

"I'm glad he's gone. He was a jerk." The little girl hissed. "What's your name honey?" Mabel asked politely. "Linsey." She said. "Well linsey, me and dipper are gonna send you home." Mabel said and gave a reassuring smile. "Okay." Lindsey said as she looked at the things. "You have to go into the mirror." Dipper said. "O-okay." She said climbing over and entering the mirror.

Mabel grabbed the mirror lightly so she didn't scare linsey and put it in the water. Dipper slowly grabbed the tape and wrapped it around the handle and base of the mirror and recited the incantation for letting a ghost go.
