Hello! It's been a while

But I do have an actual reason this time.

It was a lack of inspiration, and lately I just haven't enjoyed writing as much as I usually do.
But after a month of that, I'm finally feeling inspired again! So that's good, I think

"Yeah... Maybe yelling at him wasn't the best plan.." Mabel looks at Stan.

"I didn't know he would take it so bad.." Stan admits

I  nod in agreement

"We need to do something.." Mabel frowns.

I nod in agreement. "But what do we do?"

"Stan needs to apologize." Mabel looks at Stan

"Fine..." Stan looks at Will

"Good." Mabel nods

Stan walks over to Will calmly

"Maybe if this goes well he'll take us to Amanda.." I look at Mabel

"Let's hope." She nods

-----

He still didn't want to take us there.

"He'll kill us if I just show up uninvited." Will whimpers

"You can just drop us near there!" My sister drags him out of his corner

"It's a giant pyramid floating 60 feet off the ground! I can't exactly drop you off a block away!" Will struggles against her

"I don't care! You can just make a portal and shove us through, right?! You don't even need to come with us!" Mabel yells

"I can't do that!" Will isn't at all physically strong, so his struggles don't do much

"Why not?" Mabel groans in annoyance and releases him

Will quickly retreats to the corner. "He'll know I opened the portal!"

Mabel sits on the floor. "I still don't see why this is such a big deal.." She blows a hair out of her face in frustration

"Bill doesn't particularly like me...." Will states. "And he hates it when people just barge in.."  Will whimpers. "Combine the two hatreds and you get a dead Will.."

"We'll tell him that we forced you." Mabel states

"Well.. You kind of are--"

"Not the time to make that point." Mabel's eyebrow twitches.

Will sighs. "I want no part in this.."

"Then just open the portal and we can walk through without you."

Will frantically shakes his head no.

"Alright..." Mabel pauses. "What if you teleport us? Would he be able to tell?"

Will nods

Mabel groans. "Alright.. We're out of alternate choices, and I'm out of patience.." Mabel stands and walks over to Will

---Amanda's POV---

"Alright.. This is really starting to get boring." I look over to my brother. "When exactly is this meeting thing happening?"

He shrugs in response

"Helpful." I roll my eyes

"The sarcasm is both unwanted and unappreciated.." He looks at me.

"Yeah yeah yeah whatever.."

"-ou lost the right to decide whether or not you were going when you decided to be so unreasonable! You can leave when we find Amanda."

William pauses, and looks at the door

The distant voice grows a bit louder, and I quickly recognize it's owner as Mabel: "Now where do you think she is?"

"I-I'm not sure.." The nervous voice obviously belongs to Will

"Mabel, let's just let him leave." Dipper. "He doesn't know where she is."

"I would let him go, Dipper, but he's our only way back once we find Amanda." Mabel speaks again

"They're getting closer.." I blink in surprise, then quickly look around the room for something to bash the door down. I look over at William's cot, and pause.

"Don't even think about it." He warns. "I am not a stone pillar you can use to ram into the door."

"Okay.. Listen, their voices are getting closer, and I'm out of options.." I groan in frustration. "Can you at least try to be helpful?!"

William raises an eyebrow and stands. "Fine.. I'll help.."

I grin happily and quickly hug my brother. "Thank youuuu!" I release. "But we have to hurry."

"Not a problem.. Their still a good two halls away." He looks a his medical cot. "If we can pile as much weight as we can on this... I'm pretty sure we'll be able to use it to break the door down.. If we get enough speed."

"Sounds like a plan." I happily nod

---Dipper's POV---

"So how are we supposed to find her in this huge place?" I look at Will

"I'm not sure.." Will admits

"Can't you like.. Track her or something? Like with magic?" I ask

"No.. I can't use magic like that.." will states

"You couldn't of said that earlier?" Mabel raises an eyebrow

"I would have mentioned it... But you're terrifying and you're starting to remind me of the Gleeful version of Mabel, back in my home dimension...." he whimpers

"I'm usually nicer than this.. But you're unreasonable and your cowardice got on my nerves really fast.." Mabel states.

"That's fair." He states

Mabel suddenly pauses and I glance over to her. "What is it?" I stop as well

"Do you guys hear that...?" She looks to her right. "It sounded like pounding...."

"Pounding...?" I blinks in confusion

"You know.. Kinda like some kinda ram being mashed into a door a bunch of times..?" She looks at us

"That's oddly specific..." Will comments

"Oh whatever.. Either way- it's coning from over here." She points to the hallway to our right and starts sprinting down it.

"Should we follow..?" Will looks at me

"I mean.... It is the only lead we have so far..." I point out

"Fair point..." Will follows Mabel, and I follow him

As we progress, the noise Mabel is referring to starts to become more audible.

"Here!" Mabel stops in front of two large doors. "It's coming from in here!"

Will pauses, and reaches out, opening both of the doors at once
Mabel and I slowly peer inside.

The next update will be soon, probably in a week. Because my inspiration is back and I really enjoyed writing this chapter!
