Yes I've resorted to chapter numbers

Yes this is a late chapter

And sadly, no the next chapter won't be soon, cause finals week is quickly approaching

So just to let you know in advanced:

There will be this chapter, then for 2 week there will be zero updates from me on anything (because I'll be studying for finals), then it will be summer and there will be a lot more chapters

So let's just say after this update there won't be any updates or activity at all from me until May 27th

Okay now onto the chapter cause seriously I've kept you waiting for waaaaayy too long

Recap:

"Judging by who just showed up, I think something very very bad is about to happen in your dimension..." Will looks a little scared. "I should get going now.." His head quickly vanishes back inside the mirror

"Will wait!" I panic

"What bad thing could he possibly be talking about...?" Mabel whimpers a bit.

"I'm not waiting to find out!" I grab my journal and sprint toward the mirror, jumping through it

"Dipper!" Mabel yells from behind me, her voice is distorted and muffled since she's still on the other side of the mirror

There is still a large window that displays the inside of the mystery shack only five feet away, but now there is a light blue portal to my right side, which I'm assuming is something Will opened so he could get back to his dimension

I look at the other side of the gate and quickly sprint towards it, jumping through it and face planting straight into a wall. It takes me a second before I realize that I'm in a bathroom, the same one where my "Disco girl" incident occurred

I quietly stand up, careful not to make any loud noises that might wake someone up

Only a few seconds pass before Mabel comes bounding through the mirror, and she too, faceplants against a wall, a very sleepy and confused Waddles is in her arms

She slowly looks around and grins, slowly looking at me. "Disco giiiiirl." She whispers

"Shut it!" I point an accusing finger at her as I whisper-yell

She quietly laughs and we both stand up

"So now what...?" She looks at me

"Well, we need to find Amanda first of all..."

"And Bill." She adds

"Right yeah him to.." He reaches a hand to the door and cautiously opens it. It was early in the morning

"What are we gonna tell Stan if he catches us? What are mom and dad gonna do when they wake up and realize we're missing!" Mabel starts to panic

"Will said something horrible was going to happen here! The way he was talking, it might be the apocalypse or some kind of beast!!" I whisper-yell

"I guess that's true.. But what could it possibly be that scared Will back to his dimension..."  Mabel pauses as she looks around

"I have no idea.."

Mabel sighs

"Well no point in staying here... We might as well go outside and try to see what Will was talking about..." I pause, then start walking down the stairs

"But what if you're right and it is like a monster or something!" Mabel sounds slightly panicked as she follows me, Waddles following behind her

"Then we'll improvise." Dipper shrugs

"Improvise?!"

"Yeah I know it's a bad plan... But we need to find out what this threat is and if its anything horrifying or dangerous then we can just grab Amanda and Stan and run."

"And Bill." Mabel adds again

"I really wish you wouldn't mention him.."

We entered the gift shop, but something was definitely off.

"The vending machine is open...?" Mabel blinks in confusion

We both slowly walk over to the vending machine, which is open just a crack, blue light seeping through it
I slowly move to open the door fully, expecting to see the area behind vending machines where snacks are accessible and you can restock everything inside
But before I can even attempt to open the door, a gun is pointed at the side of my head

"Oh geez..." I panic

"Put your hands in the air and step away from the vending machine." The man with the gun looked like he was some sort of secret agent from a movie, dressed in a black suit with sunglasses on

"Okay okay calm down..." I slowly raise my arms and back up

A second agent was with him
The second agent pointed his gun at my sister, and I became very nervous

"Alright.. We're gonna need you both to come with us." The first agent speaks

"What why?" I panic. "What did we do?"

"You're trespassing on government property." The second agent states

"This is my great uncles house!" Mabel protests.

"Not anymore." The first agent glares at her. "We have this place surrounded and no one gets in and out until we have what we came here for."

"So how exactly did you get through a hundred man blockade?" The second agent asks my sister

"Umm.. well..." she laughs nervously

"Explain! Now!" The first agent yells

I look at Mabel, and she also looks completely unsure on what to tell them

"Well.. We.." My nervousness is obvious

The door to the vending machine suddenly slams open, flinging the first agent face-first into a wall, where he slides against it and lays on the floor, unconscious
Stan was the one who had slammed the door on the man, and he looked worried for me and Mabel

The second agent falls over aswell. I blink in confusion and look over at Mabel and the second agent

Someone had knocked the agent unconscious... But the person.. No that's impossible..
The man was holding a rather strange black and blue gun that looked strangely futuristic
He had struck the agent over the back of the head with the strangely large gun, knocking him unconscious

But the man, looked oddly familiar
The man was wearing a dark red sweater and a beige-ish trench coat which seemed to be dirty, mostly around the bottom edges, black pants, brown boots with dried mud and other strange liquids on them, and what looked like a belt strapped over his chest.

But the most important detail about him is his face
He looked exactly like..

"Stan?! Where did you get that gun! Why is your hair slightly browner? Didn't you have different glasses before? And whats with your strange getup? You look terrible!" Mabel looks worried and intrigued at the same time

Obviously she hadn't realized that the confused stranger was not our great uncle Stan, but an entirely different person
Is this what Will was so scared of?
