About twelve miles away, in the back seat of a broken-down yellow car Norman Babcock sat bored and tired, he had been on the road with his family for hours and now he was stuck alone; waiting for his mother and sister to come back from the bathroom and for his father to fix the car. He pulled out a zombie action figure and began to play with it making it move and act as if it were and actual zombie, he had only brought the one so it was quite boring.
A small spark from the car's hood made Norman look up, he not only saw his dad with two jumper cables, but the glowing spirit of Agatha Prenderghast. She drifted through the windshield and smiled, "Hello, Norman."
"A-aggie!" he stuttered, suprised, "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be asleep back in Blithe Hollow?"
"Supposed to? I only had to sleep because whenever I woke up the undead came and attacked,"
"W-what about your mom?" Norman asked, Aggie had supposedly went wherever ghosts go when they move on to be with her mother;
"Oh, yeah" Agatha looked down at her glowing see-through feet, "She went somewhere else, and I can't seem to go there, I cant seem to move on."
Her form slowly drifted down, like a leaf, onto the seat next to him, 'I'm so sorry Aggie." Norman said placing his hand on top of hers...or rather through hers and onto the seat. She looked down and her face suddenly brightened, "OH! there's something i need to show you!"
Agatha squeezed her eyes shut and green-yellow electricity flashed around her; she became less and less transparent until she appeared to be entirely solid.
"Whoa!" Norman gasped, "Can all ghosts do that?"
"No...actually I'm not sure, I might be the first to ever try it...but,now i can actually touch things!" she lifted the zombie action figure, "See?"
"How long do you stay like that?" Norman said still awestruck,
"Not very long usually, It hurts if I do for more than about an hour" Agatha set down the action figure, and her body started to become transparent again.
"When you're, um, solid, can normal people see you?"
"I think so-" Aggie said. Norman contemplated whether or not to tell his family of Agatha's existence. Finally he made up his mind, "Stay like that, okay?...Invisible I mean,"
Aggie shrugged, "Okay,"
A few minutes later Perry opened the driver's seat door, "The carburetor is all messed up," he said as Norman's sister and mother entered the car, "But I think it can last until we get to the town, and then I can find a mechanic."
"What town?" Norman asked searching the trees for signs of civilization. Finally he saw a large sign depicting a sun and some mountains, the words on it read: Welcome to Gravity Falls, "Oh,"
The car drove past the trees and for those few minutes that they did it seemed that the sign had been lying and that there was no town only forest...finally a rundown shack appeared and Perry turned the car, "We wont be going very far, Let's ask how far to town." The family got out...well everyone but Courtney who refused to enter the store saying it could be infested with cockroaches. Inside the gift shop of the 'Mystery Shack', Perry approached the girl at the counter. She had red hair and earbuds in, her feet were propped on the counter. "Ahem." Perry cleared his throat, "Do you happen to know if there's a mechanic of some-sort around here?"
The red-head nodded, "In town." her head bobbed with the music.
"Uh, where in town?"
"By the diner." her feet were back on the counter.
"Yeah...one last thing? How far to get to the town?"
"A few miles? Maybe? You can take the bus, it comes in a few minutes" the large clock on the wall rang out 8 AM, "And that's my break..." The girl hopped away from the counter and exited through the back door.
Perry sighed as he walked over to Norman, "A bus is coming in a few minutes," He nodded to the door, "You can either stay at this place, stay in the car with your sister," Perry tilted his head towards the parking lot, "Or come to town with me and your mother."
The choice was obvious to Norman.

Agatha had followed Norman into the building and once Perry left she began to talk to him, "So, you're staying here?"
"Yes...well I...I guess." Norman mumbled as not to draw attention to him 'talking to himself'
Aggie drifted to the further end of the store, her ghostly hands flowing through tee-shirts on the rack. She silently flew back to Norman, "I'm going to..." Norman nodded understanding. Aggie went through the front door, and around back of the building. She squeezed her eyes shut and glowing yellow light sparked off of her skin, taking away the ghostly glow and replacing it with pale skin. Her eyes opened to be an emerald green, her hair was long and black, and she wore an old fashioned black dress with a white collar. She quickly looked around, making sure she hadn't been seen; glancing up she saw a girl in the window above her, she was looking away at the moment but Agatha wasn't sure that she hadn't seen her transformation.
Quickly re-entering the shack Agatha jogged the short distance from the door to Norman, who was in line for tickets to take the 'Mystery Tour'.
"O-oh...hey," He said lifting up the velvet rope for her to get in line with him, once she was closer to him he whispered, "Now's the t-time to see if normal people can s-see you." Agatha nodded, she was going to have to wait until they were alone to tell him of the possible danger.
The bell above the front door rang and Norman looked over to see two kids, a boy and a girl, enter. The kids looked at Norman for a second too long, then the girl's gaze shifted to Aggie, who was tense next to Norman, she whispered something to the boy and they got in line next to Agatha and Norman. Norman stood stiffly, not wanting to attract anymore attention, he didn't whisper anything to Aggie even though he was pretty sure normal people could see her. Something about those kids was freaking him out...
The tour started a few minutes later and Agatha and Norman were in it, along with the two kids from the line. Their tour guide began showing them lots of (obviously) fake attractions and the other tourists got completely sucked in, it was the perfect time to dash off. Aggie pulled Norman into a hallway, apart from the group, "Those kids freak me out," Norman said first as Aggie looked around making sure they were alone, "They looked right at us like they knew everything about us!"
"Norman..." Aggie started, "I think someone saw me transform!"
Norman flinched when she said that, then he grabbed her arm, "W-wait c'mon." he pulled her farther down the hall and into a room, Aggie's last look down the hall showed her the two kids from the tour just a few feet from where they had been standing. She had a moment to hope they hadn't heard much before she was in the room...which just happened to end up being the kitchen...where Dipper Pines was wrestling Coraline Jones for a book that was currently in the hands of Mabel Pines, and the naturally peaceful Wybie Lovat was trying to break up the brawl by saying something like, "Can't we jus' let him have his book, Jonsey?", Stanford Pines had made an orderly exit once the fight had began, not wanting to 'get 'n the way'.
Agatha froze recognizing the girl from the window, holding a journal in the corner (Kicking at both Coraline and Dipper if they came close to it)
Norman on the other hand saw what the rest couldn't; at least eight ghosts (not counting Aggie) hung in the air around the room...Two hung a few feet above the girl who was wrestling's head another above the boy who was trying to stop the fight. There was a man standing behind the girl with the book, his invisible hand on her shoulder. A little girl sat on top of the refrigerator laughing at the scene and a teenage boy floated around the room. Two girls about Norman's age were staring at Aggie and a boy who was just younger than them walked around her, the last three seemed to know that Agatha was a ghost but solid and they were confused by this.

Mabel was the first to notice Norman and Aggie's presence, well, Aggie's first.
"Hi!" she said bouncing over to them, past Coraline and Dipper, "My name's Mabel! Who're you? Why is your hair all sticky-up-ey? Why are you wearing a dress, why is it so old looking? WHat's your name? Do you live in gravity falls?" By the time Mabel's million questions were over Coraline had the journal, Mabel had set it on the kitchen table when she had started talking to Aggie and Norman. The rest of the kids had finally noticed the new-comers also.
Aggie had decided that Mabel knew nothing of the transformation and relaxed, "Hi...I'm Agatha" she stuck out her hand for them to shake. No-one did. Aggie's hand dropped.
Norman, instead of introducing himself, leaned toward Aggie, "A-are you seeing this?" he whispered shakily. Agatha nodded discretely, then said, "And this is my friend..." she glanced at Norman...she wasn't actually sure if they were friends, "My friend Norman."
Coraline smiled, "Hi, I'm Coraline Jones and this is Wybie." she jabbed her thumb at the dark-skinned boy who was glancing nervously at her, "Actually" Coraline said, turning to Dipper and Mabel, "I don't really know who you are..." She stuck out her hand with journal number 3 towards Dipper, "Here...I guess...sorry for, um, attacking you for it"
Dipper took the journal from her, "Yeah, Sorry for the..." he gestured to a bruise around Coraline's eye, "I'm Dipper, Dipper Pines."
"You must be related to Sta-" Wybie started before Mabel cut in.
"I'm Mabel!" she hopped over to Wybie with a big grin on her face, she got way up into his personal space, their noses almost touching, "Yeah Stan's our Grunkle! That means Great-Uncle..."
Dipper pulled mabel away, "So..." He said, "We've got all the food from break fast...since we didn't exactly..." he trailed off but they got the idea.
"Yeah that's a great idea, I'm STARVING!" Coraline said, grabbing a plate and pilling some pancakes on it.
Norman shrugged and grabbed a plate as well. Aggie picked up a plate gingerly and set one pancake on it, then a few sausages and a fried egg. She wasn't exactly sure if she could eat, she was hungry though, her stomach growled, and she took a bit more food.
Everyone sat around the table, Coraline and Dipper talked about anomalies and monsters, Wybie was silent watching them and eating a few bites of food here and there.
"Do you believe in the Loch Ness Monster?" Dipper asked, taking off and putting back on his hat.
"I'm not sure. It's actually very plausible that it exists though..." Coraline replied
Aggie ate ravenously leaving no room for conversation, it donned on her that she hadn't eaten in three hundred years, she chuckled at that, stuffing another sausage into her mouth. She kept having to go back for more, and she wondered if she would be able to eat much more, she certainly didn't feel full.
Mabel asked Norman all sorts of questions, she seamed fascinated at the fact that his hair spiked up by itself.
"Does it just WHOOSH! in the morning by itself?" she said patting it a few times
"Um, y-yes?" Norman replied, his face had become very red as he was talking to this girl, she sort of made him uncomfortable.
Breakfast finished up, leaving Aggie still hungry but full enough. "So, you live in Gravity Falls?" Norman asked Dipper as Mabel lead them up a flight of stairs, insisting that they should all hang out in their room. "Why not our's" Coraline had complained about the stairs up to the attic.
"No, we live here during the summer, our Great-uncle lives here. He owns the shack, actually." Dipper replied to Norman.
Mabel opened the door up into their attic room, "TaDa, Casadia la Mabel and Dipper."
"Actually I think you mean Casa de Dipper and Mabel,"Coraline corrected as she stepped through the doorway. Inside there were two beds and a lot of random junk. It was easy to tell which bed was Mabel's and which was Dipper's, Coraline transferred her attention to a bookshelf, on it was a flashlight with a crystal in front of it, two scrapbooks obviously made by Mabel, a bottle with a letter int it, a stack of blank postcards, a few books, a teen-boyZ magazine featuring sev'ral Timez 'big comeback', and a Gravity Falls Gossiper magazine with mabel and a short-little chubby boy with biig white hair. Coraline pulled it down, "Hey, who's this?" She asked Mabel, who was, at the moment, interrogating Wybie to see if he was dating Coraline; "I know you ar- Oh?" She made a face, "Ugh, I thought I threw that out," she reached for it but Coraline held it further from her reach.
"Who. IS. It?" she asked again.
"Lil' Gideon. Gideon Gleeful." Dipper answered, "Mabel's ex-boyfriend, he tried to kill me."
Norman's face had gone very red at the 'ex-boyfriend' part, Agatha noticed as Coraline taunted Mabel and Dipper sat down. Aggie's head had started to throb back in the kitchen but it was starting to hurt more, she turned her head to look at the electrical clock on Mabel's night stand, 8:48. She had a little more than ten minutes before serious pain kicked in, and she couldn't transform back here...not with everyone watching. She wouldn't be able to after the one hour mark either...changing took way to much effort than she would be able to handle with all that pain, she would likely pass out. A small jingle emitted from Wybie's pocket and he took out his phone, Agatha wouldn't have noticed except both he and Coraline flinched when it happened. "They can track phones can't they?" Coraline asked, as Wybie read the text, "False alarm! It's just gran. She wants to know how the trip's going."

Coraline sighed. Agatha checked the clock...8:52, she had to tell Norman! The throbbing in her head had gotten worse and her vision was fuzzy, sort of clouded. She focused on her breathing and tried to stand up, her legs wouldn't move. 8:55. Five minutes, her breath was coming out in short bursts and barely coming back into her lungs. Her head pounded, all other noise was blocked out. 8:57. Black spots entered the sides of her vision...8:58
SCREW NOT EXPOSING THEM SHE WOULD DIE (AGAIN!) IF SHE DIDNT TRANSFORM BACK. A small spark of lightning, came out of the ends of her hair. Her eyes began to glow faintly. 8:59. More black spots. Her hands shook. She was faintly aware of Norman next to her. Aggie could hear Mabel's voice. The world tipped. She felt a burst of pain in the side of her head as she hit the floor. Then everything became nothing.
