Ding dong!

"Coming!" Wally yelled, running down the stairs, opening the wooden door revealing Norma behind it. "Hey, Norma. How do I look?" He asked, stretching out the bottom of his shirt which had a fierce bulldog emblem on it.

"Cool..." Norma responded, as Wally linked arms with her and began to giggle.

"You always know what to say!" He added, as the two walked away from the shack.

As their brother left, Mabel and Dipper laid on the chair in the living room, replaying the tape of "evidence" they recorded over and over again.

"Soos was right. We don't have any real evidence." Mabel continued, speeding up the film, reaching one where Norma and Wally were sitting beside each other on a mountain, as hand suddenly falls off and she cautiously picks it up.

"I guess I can be kind of paranoid sometimes and- wait, WHAT?!"

"Did you see that!!?" Dipper asked

To be sure, Mabel replayed the tape, screaming as she tipped over the side of the chair. They were right. Norma wasn't a normal teenager after all.

"I was right! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!" Dipper screamed, pushing the shack's door open and as he and Mabel ran outside, "Great Uncle Ford! Great Uncle Ford!"

As Mabel and Dipper attempted to get his attention, jumping hopelessly and flailing their arms above the large crowd, Ford was in the middle of one of his tours, currently explaining an attraction to the dazed crowd.

"And here we have a goblin that looks like a man," Ford explained, pointing to a a strange looking dwarf creature.

"Does it look like a goblin?" A local hillbilly in the crowd asked, Ford giving him a strange look in response.

"No, it looks like a man."

"Is it a man?"

"It's a goblin that looks like a man!"

Mabel eventually got tired of jumping and flailing to get her Grunkle's attention, so she resorted to screaming his name instead.

"Over here! Great Uncle Ford!" She yelled, as loud as she could. Despite her efforts, Ford appeared far too busy with his conversation with the crowd to pay attention to her.

"For the fifth time! It's-it's not an actual man!" He explained to the crowd, a tone of anger in his voice. Mabel growled slightly, calling for her Grunkle once again.

"Ford! Ford!"

Mabel instantly stopped, noticing Robbie drive into the Museum's parking lot with the snow cart.

"Robbie!" Mabel yelled, running over to the teenager, Dipper joining a few seconds later, "Robbie! Robbie! We need to borrow the snow cart so we can save our brother from a siren!"

Robbie stared at them for a few seconds as they froze in place, before given them a small smile and handing Dipper the keys. "Try not to hit any pedestrians!" he yelled, walking away.

The two instantly hopped into the cart and turned it on, backing up as Dipper stopped in front of Soos, who was knelt over slightly to talk to them.

"Dude, it's me: Soos. This is for the siren." Soos said, handing Mabel a shovel.

"Thanks!" Mabel replied, taking the shovel as she continued driving.

"Better safe then sorry!" Soos called out, as Dipper drove out of view.

"Finally, we're alone." Wally exclaimed, as Norma turned her back to him as she fidgeted with the zipper on her dress.

"Yes. Alone..." She responded, followed by an exhale. "Uh, Wally, now that we've gotten to know each other, there's...there's something I should tell you."
