The empty house

The Villain, revealed!

    "Maybe I should go see if Diana knows what that potion thingy is." Tom said as he started walking at Diana's direction.

   Tobias frowned,

"You might as well keep it, I have no use for it." Meow groaned, slowly waking up.

  "Thanks!" He tucked the book away, and noticed Meow. "Hey, what's up with her?" 

 "Um, she... fell asleep."

  "No, sleep looks way more natural than that." Dipper said. "Hmm.....sleeping powder?" 

 "How'd you know?"

  "There's purple dust on her face. Nearly invisible, but there." Dipper told him. "Don't forget, I'm a college graduate who studied the paranormal." 

  "Look, it's to keep her safe. She'll wake up soon so it's fine." Meow groaned again, this time almost rolling out of Tobias' arms. "You ever run into a cat demon before?"

"Not until me and Mabes met her." Dipper replied.

"Cats are awesome and cute and fluffy and adorable and fluffy and pretty and amazing and fluffy and I'm running out of words and fluffy!" Mabel yelled from a bed of flowers.

Tobias looked down at Mabel,

"Do you want to take care of her until she wakes up?" He said implying Meow.

"Mabel's not responsible." Dipper said hurriedly.

"Hey!"

  "Well someone just watch her, I'm going back in," Tobias placed her down and jumped back through the portal, which closed behind him.  

"Okay, then." Dipper said in an almost-sarcastic-but-not-quite tone. "Mabel, be careful."

"Kitty!"

  Meow's ears twitched, hearing Bill's nickname for her but was unable to react. Tobias wandered through the house, checking everything.

  "Aha!" Diana cried, triumphant. "Found one!" She was kneeling in front of an open chest-like box, carefully holding up a greenish crystal. She smiled, and magnified her voice so it carried through the entire house. "Guys, I have found a focus." A portal opened in front of everyone in the house. Diana stepped through hers.  

  Tobias only poked his head through his. "Let me know when we can leave," he said going back through and continuing to search the house.  

  "Okay, then." Lavendyr said, still uncertain about the soup. "Screw it! Diana, bowl please." A bowl appeared in her hand. Lav scooped in through the soup, and began spooning it up. "Oh my god, this is heaven. Rob, you are amazing."  

  "Portal? Don't mind if I do." Tom said as he stepped through the portal. "Yo." He said to he group. 

 Owl-x walked out of the house. He had found a purple crystal.

"Okay, so what did everyone get?" Diana asked. "I found a greenish crystal."

"Tobias found this book on alchemy." Dipper said.

  "I found a blue glowing potion of... probably something magical." Tom showed the potion.  

  "That's a magic enhancing potion." Dipper said immediately.
