Chapter 12

Tyrone and Matt were out for lunch at a local café in town. They were both eating and enjoying each other's company. All this talk of the North Wind and the missing children was all very stressful. Dipper was hard at work looking for more info on the North Wind and the legendary Mothman, while Mabel had her friends search the area for anything suspicious.

During all this, Tyrone thought it was best to take Matt our for a stroll and bond with him. He figured that all this was scaring him a little bit.

"Are you sure it was alright for the both of us to leave home like that?" asked Matt.

"I'm sure. Besides, it's Dipper and Mabel we are talking about." Said Tyrone.

"If you say so." Replied Matt. He tried to process what he learned at Fiddleford's place. He still couldn't believe the crazy old coot was once a bright scientist.

"So let me get this straight; Fiddleford turned into Old Man McGucket, then he became Fiddleford again for a little bit, now he's back to old man." Said Matt.

"Close enough. I'm still processing all this myself." Said Tyrone.

As the hour passed, they both heard their names out loud and they turned their heads to see Destiny and Huck running towards them.

"Tyrone! Matt! Thank goodness your both here!" cried Destiny.

"Hey! What's up?" asked Tyrone nervously. He noticed how hard Destiny was breathing to catch her breath.

"She saw her!" cried Huck.

"Her? Her who?" asked Matt. "The North Wind fool!" cried Huck.

"What?! Is this true!?" cried Tyrone.

"I saw her clear as day guys! And there's more. I need to talk to Dipper and Mabel." Said Destiny.

Back in the shack, Dipper was scratching his head really hard and he was about ready to rip his hair off. Mabel came into the living room with snacks and noticed all the paperwork on the floor.

"You really need a break Dipping Sauce." Said Mabel.

"A break?! Tyrone and Matt ditched us, you are doing God knows what, and there's a crazy woman out there kidnapping kids! How can I take a break!?" screamed Dipper.

"Okay for starters, don't lose your cool. And second, I told Tyrone and Matt to get a breather. Your being obsessed! Remember what happened to Ford. He lost years of his life in that other dimension while Grunkle Stan had to work hard to get him back." Said Mabel.

Dipper breathed in and out deeply. "Your right. I don't want to do the same mistake. Sorry Mabel. It's just that…. …. I can't help but think about the families that lost someone right now." Said Dipper.

"Don't worry about it. There is always a sign." Said Mabel as she placed her hands on Dipper's shoulders.

"Everything will be alright little brother." Said Mabel.

Dipper hugged Mabel tightly. "I'm sorry. It's just so hard." Said Dipper.

"There there. Don't you worry. I know we can save the children. We beat Bill didn't we? And we beat the Bogey Man too. Not even in his dragon form could he beat us." Said Mabel.

Dipper nodded and then he stood there frozen in place.

"What's wrong?" asked Mabel. She turned around and almost wanted to scream. But she kept quiet. Right in front of them, standing in the living room, was a giant black creature with piercing red eyes.

"The Pines. At long last we meet." Said the creature.

"You! You're the Mothman!" cried Dipper.

"Your very cute and fuzzy." Said Mabel. Dipper shot her a look.

"You are right my dear. I am what you say, cute and fuzzy. Now on to business. Children of the Earth are being kidnapped by the North Wind! And not only did she capture children. She too captured one of our own, Linda the Bright Star." Said the giant Moth.

"Linda is captured!?" cried Mabel.

"How?" asked Dipper cautiously.

"The North Wind took her and locked her away in a prison. A different dimension in the outer reaches of our world. To save her, you all must find ancient glowing stones to open the door to Treasures of Oregon." Said the Mothman.

"Again with the Treasures of Oregon crap?!" cried Dipper.

"Yes, I'm afraid so. I know all about your affairs there in the door. The door opened because Bill Cipher opened it with his power. Now, he is there, powerless and defeated. However, you must open the door and you will find an ancient weapon capable of destroying the North Wind." Said the Mothman.

"Cool! We get to use a sword." Said Mabel.

"Not just any sword dear girl. This is an enchanted sword and only one with a heart that survived sadness can wield it." Said the Mothman.

"It's either Dipper, Tyrone, Matt or me. Huh? I'm the cheerful one, so I don't count." Said Mabel.

"Which leaves me, Tyrone and Matt?" asked Dipper out loud. Something about this troubled him. He couldn't figure out why exactly. The Mothman on the other hand knew what was troubling Dipper. He whispered in his thoughts.

"I have a task for you especially dear boy."

Dipper looked at the Mothman and nodded. "It's me then." Thought Dipper.

The Mothman quickly vanished as soon as they heard the doorbell. Mabel went to answer it and Tyrone, Matt, Destiny and Huck came in. They quickly told Dipper and Mabel about what Destiny knew about the North Wind and they in return told them about the Mothman's strange visit.

"So now we all know what happened. What's next Dipper?" asked Mabel.

"I say we find the North Wind lady and vanquish her!" said Huck.

"Not so fast Huck. You didn't see her like I did. That chick is scary." Said Destiny as she looked at everyone in the room.

"For starters, let's all take a breather and relax. We need time to process what we just learned." Said Dipper.

In a moment, Mabel and Tyrone brought out snacks and drinks for everyone in the living room. Tyrone sat beside Matt and Destiny was observing them. She liked to see the brothers get close. She noticed how warm and tranquil Tyrone was as he gently rubbed Matt's head.

"I'm good. Thanks." Said Matt. Tyrone smiled and tickled his neck.

"Extra Thick and Juicy!" he cried.

"NO! Stop man!" laughed Matt as he defended himself from Tyrone's tickles. Destiny chuckled and Huck began to laugh.

"Focus you two. We got a huge matter on our hands." Said Dipper.

Mabel spoke up quickly. "So now that we know that the Mothman is on our side, and you have a connection to the big fuzzy thing, what now?" asked Mabel.

"I could talk with him, but it won't be easy. He doesn't like to show his face around too much." Said Huck.

"Then what can we do?" asked Destiny.

"I bet the old Northwest crone knows something." Said Matt.

"Viscount Northwest? Maybe, but I doubt he'll talk with us since we are not on his level." Said Huck.

Dipper cleared his throat loudly for all to hear. "Then looks like I have no choice. We must get the sword the Mothman mentioned. It's the only way. But in order to do that, that means I'll have to go get it." Said Dipper.

"Where exactly?" asked Mabel standing up. Dipper stood up too and spoke firmly.

"I'm going back to the door."

"No way! Your not going back there! That's where Bill Cipher is!" cried Mabel.

"Bill Cipher?" cried Huck.

"Who?" asked Destiny.

"Long story." Replied Matt.

"You can't go alone Dipper! Bill is locked up on the other side. Besides, you alone can't make it." Said Tyrone.

"I have to try." Said Dipper.

"If your going, I'm going too." Said Mabel.

"No! You can't! You'll get hurt!" cried Dipper.

"You and I have faced Bill a whole lot of times. What makes this occasion any different?" said Mabel.

Dipper let out a sigh. "You win. Alright. We'll both get the sword. Tyrone, Matt, watch over the shop." Said Dipper.

"Your going back! You can't do that! He'll hurt you both!" cried Tyrone.

"Who's going to hurt them?" asked Destiny.

"Bill Cipher! The evil one eye'd triangle and ruler of Gravity Falls!" cried Huck.

"The illuminati?" asked Destiny with one eye brow raised.

"Close enough." Said Tyrone.

"You guys can't go! We don't want to lose you!" cried Matt as he stood up and fell on his knees begging to his brother and sister.

"We'll be fine Matt. We know how to handle one eyed triangles." Said Mabel as she took a knee and hugged her little brother.

"I love you guys. I can't lose you both like I did Marcos." Said Matt.

"We won't die. We'll return home. I promise." Said Dipper.
