Tad was very worried for Starclops. She had been gone for a while. He had been yelling her name for a good amount of time as well. Unbeknownst to Tad she had returned just a few minutes ago and everytime he moved to a different position. She positioned herself behind him. She had to take this opportunity to scare the Bezelebub out of him.
So after about 10 minutes she jumped out from behind a log and yelled "Hello!" Startling Tad and making him scream for a brief moment. Which made Starclops crack up. "I swear you do this way too much." Tad said still somewhat startled from Starclops.
"If I do it so much then why do you keep falling for it?" Starclops said jokingly. Tad sighed. "Are you ready to head back to Nadia and Violet now?" Tad asked. "Yep. Let's go!" She responded floating upside down. The two teleported themselves back to their group.
Nadia was doing the same thing she always did now that she was old enough and very much in control of her powers. Fighting weird monsters that were always trying to kill her and the entire group. Partly because non-mutants hated the fact that Nadia and Ford created another mutant together(Even if she was technically only half-mutant). While Violet was using her fireball powers set them on fire. While Nadia was using her freezing powers to keep Violet as much out of the battle as she could.
Nadia was very protective. She kept Violet away from as much danger as she could until 1 year after Violet had full control over her powers and even then she was still very protective. But Nadia came late to this fight. Regrettably, She didn't know the cause or what started the fight. But it didn't matter. It was usually the same thing anyway. A typical Mutant problem most likely. Which was normal.
Violet loved fighting however. She barely got to fight when her mother got involved though. So if she was alone, Unbeknownst to Nadia, she usually started the fight. Especially if Tad and Starclops were involved. They knew of Violet's love for fighting and promised not to tell Nadia anything about it. Starclops and sometimes even Tad "accidentally" summoned weapons for Violet to use. Saying it was a glitch in their powers so that Violet could do something fun. Which wasn't easy as a mutant.
"I wish Tad and Star were here." And at that exact moment Starclops and Tad teleported themselves to Violet and Nadia. Starclops immediately gave Violet a comically sized bat and with one swing she took the monsters out. "Well that couldn't have gone any more better." Violet said with a smile. Nadia turned away from the fallen monsters to look at Violet, Tad, and Starclops. "Ok guys. I think it's time we have a group meeting." Nadia said with a blank look.
Back in Dimension 46'\, 3 days before Dipper and Mabel arrive back to Gravity Falls.
"Stanley. I...I have something to tell you. A few things actually. I think I'm going to confess to Dipper and Mabel as well. But while I was gone I...I uhh..." Ford struggled to tell Stan what happened after he got sucked into the portal. "It's okay. Whatever it is I'll understand." Stan said. Ford took a deep breath. "While I was travelling through dimensions. I wasn't alone. I was with a group and I was...married. My group consisted of two dream demons. Tad and Starclops. My wife Nadia. And my only daughter Violet." Stan nearly ran off the road.
Sorry had to tell Stan and the kids. But Bill isn't gonna show back up for a while. He's...busy.
