Before I start this chapter, I want to let you guys know that in the next 12 days, there will be little, if any updates. I am a part of the marching band at my school, which busies up my schedule. But after August 5th, things will hopefully go back to the way they were before. Anyway, I hope that you like this chapter.
Enjoy!:

Dipper handed Itis her phone back, with anger building inside of him. "I can't believe that I thought that this craziness was over!" he said furiously.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" asked Mabel. "We have to get back to the Dreamland."
She, Dipper, and Candy bolted outside and hopped into the golf cart.
Dipper sat in the drivers' seat, Mabel in the passenger's seat, and Candy in the back.
It took ten minutes to get to the Dreamland, since the golf cart's maximum speed was twenty five miles per hour.
When they got there, Dipper saw flames coming out of several windows and plumes of smoke rising from the fire.
After scanning the crowd, it seemed that most, if not all, of the kids were outside, staring at the flames while the fire fighters made a sort of ring around the building, spraying it with water from the hoses on the truck.
Wendy ran over to the golf cart. "I really don't know what happened," she said, obviously out of breath. "I was in the front lobby when I smelled smoke, and then the fire alarm went off."
"Wendy, did you get a head count," Mabel asked.
"It seems that everyone got out safely after the alarm went off," replied Wendy. "But I'll do an actual count."
"I'll help her," said Candy. The two girls ran through the mass of kids and began to count.
"Follow me," Mabel told her brother. She led Dipper through the gathering of people and over to the firefighters. "How bad is the fire?"
A fire woman turned towards the twins. "It's pretty bad," she replied. "There's no official determination yet, but it looks like someone purposely set it."
At that moment, a crumpled piece of paper flew from the building and hit Dipper on the forehead. He caught the paper, unfolded it and saw there was writing.
It said: Oh, Dipper. Clearly, you have much to learn. This fire is a gift from me that I had one of my infiltrators set. And according to her, it was almost too easy for her to get in. Ha ha. By the way, expect something similar in the Chicago area.

P.S. It took a long year.
"The fire was set!" exclaimed Dipper. "Look at the note!"
The fire fighter glanced at the paper. "Hand me that!" she ordered. "That needs to go into evidence."
Dipper handed her the note and she pushed her way through the gathering of people.
Suddenly, a soft noise came from the building.
Mabel cupped her hands over her ear. "Wait, do you hear that?" she asked.
"Yeah, but I couldn't tell what it was," answered Dipper.
This time, it was louder and clearer.
"It was a cry for help!" Dipper said. "And it sounded like a girl. We need to go in and rescue her."
"Uh, you need to do that," said Mabel. "I just realized that the last time I saw Waddles, he was in the Dreamland's kitchen. I need to make sure he's okay." She ran off.
"Well, it looks like it's hero time," Dipper muttered to himself. "Again."
He pushed through the firefighters (much to their dismay) and ran into the burning Dreamland.
Well, what are your thoughts? Feel free to let me know by leaving a review. Thanks.
