Dipper ran through the shack, right past Mabel and Stan. He dashed up the stairs to the attic, slamming the bedroom door behind him. Dipper flopped on his bed and buried his face in his pillow.

Mabel jumped up from petting Waddles. Her head turned towards the window and she saw a bewildered Wendy, still staring at the shack, her mouth agape.

"Ooooh no..." Mabel said and ran upstairs.

Mabel opened the door slowly and walked in.

"Dipper?"

He didn't answer. Mabel walked further into the room and sat on her bed and watched her brother. Dipper sighed and rolled on to his back, turning his head to face Mabel. Dipper's cheeks were still red with embarrassment.

"Dipper are you alright?" Mabel asked.

"Something's wrong with me Mabel. I heard thoughts in my head that weren't mine! I said things I wasn't even going to say! I did something I never would've done..." He said.

"Well it couldn't have been that bad! Right?" Mabel said optimistically.

Dipper shot a sad look in his sister's direction.

"Well what happened?" Mabel asked. "If you don't tell me I'll just get it from Wendy tomorrow!" She taunted.

"Mabel it felt like I was almost possessed." Dipper said, changing the subject. "It was like when Bill took over my body, but this time I was still in my body!"

"Well that's weird..." Mabel agreed. "But what HAPPENED?"

Dipper sighed and looked at the ground. His eyes suddenly flickered to his chest where the medallion was still hidden under his shirt. Mabel noticed the movement and for the first time noticed a little bit of the black string.

"What's around your neck?" She asked.

"Nothing."

"It doesn't look like nothing!" Mabel said, jumping up.

She tackled Dipper on his bed and wrestled him. She felt him pushing her away and began to tickle him.

"Hahaha! Mabel stop!" Dipper said through fits of laughter.

Mabel tickled his stomach so Dipper would try to protect himself there. As soon as both of his hands had moved, Mabel pulled the medallion up and over his head in one swift motion.

"NO!" Dipper yelled, sitting up and trying to snatch it back.

Mabel danced out of his way and ran downstairs, holding the medallion high above her head.

"Haha I got it!" She sang, as Dipper chased her through the shack.

"Mabel I'm serious! Give it back!"

Mabel just laughed and ran all around the house, finally ending up on the roof. She slipped the medallion over her head so the cool night air wouldn't blow it out of her hand.

"Mabel." Dipper said seriously.

"Where did you find this? And why does it resemble Bill?" Mabel asked.

Dipper narrowed his eyes at her. Mabel shrugged and pulled the medallion off over her head, though she had only put it on moments before, and held it over the edge of the roof.

"I'll drop it." She said.

"No you won't."

"Yes I will." Mabel said, dropping it and then quickly catching it again.

Dipper sighed.

"I found it in a cave behind the water fall." He said finally.

"What!? And you didn't tell me!"

"I was going to!"

Mabel tilted her head and looked at her brother. Suddenly he lunged at Mabel and tried to grab the medallion. Mabel side stepped Dipper and lost her balance. She started to fall, but Dipper grabbed her hand. The motion jerked Mabel's body and the medallion plummeted towards the ground.

"NO!" The twins chorused.
