Hey, guys, I'm back!

Elia's P.O.V.

It was simple, really.

I actually did die, don't get me wrong. Of course, my spirit didn't depart so quickly. Oddly enough, it found its way to McGucket's lab, and he found a way to return my spirit to my vessel. As he said it though, "This might hurt a little."

It did. More than a little. Fortunately, I survived. Ish.

McGucket found a way to get into the morgue and give me clothes. After that, I got up. Of course, I was in exceeding pain the whole way until I found a cane to lean on, but…

Anyway, I was sorting through the graveyard, looking for a good 'name' for myself, when I saw a group of black-clad people enter the graveyard and do a funeral. As the last people left, I hurried to the grave. I shuddered as I saw that it was mine.

My heart was in my throat as I saw what people had put onto my grave; a bouquet of lilies, a llama doll, and a copy of a wand from Harry Potter were on top. I knew who had put at least one of these things onto my grave; thus, I called him. I shuddered inwardly at the sound of my voice; harsh, scratchy, unused in days. Still, I called Dipper, guessing what he was thinking.

A week or so later, I was poking around my old hideout when I saw who else but Pacifica Northwest walk into my old hideout. I'd all but forgotten about it in my post-death haze, so I crept after her. I sat for half an hour without Pacifica knowing of my presence, and then I decided to intrude.

Did you know that it's actually a little frightening to have the person who's probably the only person in the entire multiverse that understands you suddenly turn an axe on you? Well, it is. And I barely managed to cover that up fast enough. Scheiẞe, what was the world coming too? Something where I had to play a different role, that's for sure.

Anyway, I managed to actually sneak into the Mystery Shack - which is a feat in and of itself, let me tell you - and brace myself in the ceiling beams. I watched as a meeting of the Mystery Gang (Dipper, Mabel, Pacifica, Soos and Wendy, as well as Senior Stan) took place below me. Then I decided to take a little risk.

They looked happy to see me.

Another chapter gone! Don't worry, McGucket's going to be here soon enough.

Sorry this was a bit of a short chapter, the next one's going to be longer, I swear.
