August 10

It has been three days since Mother Abigail has left for the wilderness and the worry for her has grown greatly. So the committee has made a team that will try to find her, and while that team went out, another team is assigned to help clean up the dead bodies that could be found in areas of town. The kids meanwhile; despite the sudden turn of events on Mother Abigail's walking off into who knows where, went on with their lives as they hoped that the team will find her.

Today Norman is in the kitchen eating some toast, his mind is still filled with questions from not only on the whereabouts of Mother Abigail, but also on how Tom could see Aggie? Norman wanted to ask him about some time soon, but speaking of Aggie he was worried for her as she seemed the most worried for Mother Abigail, which is completely understandable.


Outside his house; Dipper with his journal underneath his right arm, approached slowly. Dipper decided that today may be a good time to ask Norman about his knowledge of his ghosts and show him a new page of his journal.

Walking down the pathway, Dipper looked to his journal, before looking up to the right window and stopped for he spotted a girl with what looked to be wearing a pilgrim outfit, standing at the window watching him. Dipper blinked and she was gone, it freaked him out as he didn't inspect to see a girl to be looking right at him and certainly not to have her disappear on him like that. He guessed that Norman's house had a ghost in it, probably was good timing that he came to talk with Norman about ghosts, he could perhaps get rid of her for Norman as he might not want a ghost in his house.

Going up to the door, Dipper paused a bit over the zombie figure on Norman's door. "He really likes zombies doesn't he." He knocks on the door, after waiting for a few minutes the door opened and Norman stood there with a small smile. "Oh hi Dipper, what brings you here?"

"Oh, I just came here to show you a new page in the journal and ask you a few questions." Dipper explained, Norman knew that this was coming ever since he spoke up back at the rock throwing contest, he would prefer to avoid it as much as possible, but Dipper looked to be a kid who presses for answers. "I suppose I should answer those questions." He said

Letting him in, Norman and Dipper went on over to the kitchen table where they situated themselves, Aggie came into the kitchen shortly after, getting curious on what was going on? She floats just above Dipper who just placed his journal on the table. "Alright before I ask you my questions, I'll show you my new entry."

Norman nods. "Alright that sounds fair." Dipper opened the journal, flipping through the other entries Aggie studies through each of them with each flip, she saw hairy ape-men and that horrible Scarface. At last Dipper flipped to his new entry which was another spell. "What's this?" Norman asked.

"It's something that Ford had told me once. I don't remember the details as he never thought that it was that important, just a nice one to say." Dipper replied with a shrug.

Norman picked up the journal to get a better look of the word. "See-among-now" He read out loud, he looked around the kitchen for anything different as who knows if that spell worked? Nothing has changed and it is quiet. "Looks like it doesn't do anything." He said.

"Must be a useless one that probably only works in other dimen-" Dipper stopped talking at once when he looked up and saw the girl from the window just floating above him. The girl is looking at the journal that Norman had just placed back down, then cast her gaze down to him.

The two looked at each other silently, to Dipper she looked to be surprised that he could see her, while he is just speechless to have this ghost very close to him, at last words began to form in his brain. "Um Norman?" He spoke up while still keeping eye contact on the ghost.

"Yes Dipper?" Norman replied while still looking at the journal.

"There's a ghost in your kitchen."

Norman perked up at that, he looked on over and to his surprise he witnesses Aggie and Dipper are looking at each other with Aggie having her hand in front of her mouth in shock, while Dipper stared at her with puzzlement.

"You can see me?" Aggie spoke up.

"Y-yes." Dipper stuttered in reply.

"But how? You didn't see me through much of the trip." She pointed out, this made Dipper raise some questions. "Wait, you don't haunt this house?"

Aggie shook her head. "No, I'm not even from her."

"And you've been with us during the journey here?"

"Well technically after we met up with you at Mother Abigail's house in Nebraska. I was with Norman ever since we left Massachusetts." Aggie explained.

This surprised Dipper even more. "You know Norman?"

"Uh, yeah." Norman now spoke up, earning the two to turn their attention on Norman. "We've spent time together since last year."

"Your friends with a ghost?" Dipper question. He has never heard of someone being friends with a ghost before, but he supposed it wasn't as strange as being on good terms with some of the creatures in Gravity Falls or his own clones for that matter.

Norman scratched his head for it looks like there's no beating around the bush now, since he can somehow see Aggie now. "It's a long story, but here's the thing." Norman breathed a bit as this is it. "I can see and talk to the dead."

Dipper is dumbstruck by that news, Aggie eyes him as she waited for what he would do or say, she will defend her friend if he shows any negative emotions. Dipper finally spoke and what he said surprised the both of them. "Your a necromancer?"

Norman blinked a couple of times. "A what?"

"You know." Dipper waved his hand. "A person who can talk to dead people."

"I guess, but wait. Aren't you freaked out or think that I'm strange for what I can do?"

"Norman" Dipper started. "I've seen a lot of strange stuff, this is hardly going to freak me out. Plus it's actually pretty cool that you can see and communicate with ghosts without any digital recorders or spirit boxes for EVPS."

"What are EVPS?" Aggie asked.

"EVPS or Electric Voice Phenomenon are ghost voices that can be picked up by digital recorders." Dipper explained, "Never thought that I would explained this to a ghost." He internally thought.

"So you really don't mind about my ability?" Norman cut in. "No, not really." Dipper replied.

Relief washed over Norman, for at least he doesn't have to hide it from Dipper anymore, now all he had to worry about is the others. "So how long have you had this ability?" Dipper now asked.

"Ever since I was born."

"And when did you meet your, uh, friend?" Aggie uncomfortably looks down from that question along with Norman. "Let's just say it's a story that I don't feel like sharing, for it makes my friend very uncomfortable."

"Ok, that's something that I won't push on." Dipper now thought of something else. "Are their ghosts in this town?"

Norman nodded at that question. "Oh yeah, this place has a good amount of ghosts."

"Are they hostile?"

"No, their peaceful." Norman reassured.

"Alright that's good." Dipper now looked back up to Aggie. "So what's your name?" Aggie shyly twiddle her fingers while not keeping direct eye contact. "Agatha, Agatha Prenderghast. It's nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you to." Dipper chuckled a bit. "You know it's a relief that I'm meeting with a friendly ghost for once." Aggie smiled a little. "Thank you." In the back of her mind she thought about her other half, if he had been in Blithe Hallow at the time of her storm, he wouldn't have said that she was friendly.

Dipper however decided that this'll be a perfect opportunity to learn more about ghosts. "So Agatha, you mind if I ask you a few more questions?"

Aggie thinks a bit, for she wasn't sure on what he wanted to ask her. "Sure"

"How does it feel to be a ghost?"

Aggie shrugged. "Feels the same, except for not having the weight of a living body." Dipper nodded from that information. "Interesting, does it feel off when you go through walls."

"Not really, it honestly feels like going through water."

"That's fascinating." Dipper proceeds to ask Aggie more questions that she happily answered, though by question 55, she was beginning to feel tired and Norman meanwhile had fallen asleep as he rested his chin on his arms.


By night fall; the others had been called to come on over to Norman's house to be shown something. They are all wondering on just what does Norman and Dipper wanted to exactly show them as they sat around in Norman's living room?

"So do you know what this is all about?" Coraline asked Mabel from the couch, Mabel shook her head. "Who knows, my brother likes to be mysterious when he wants to show something."

"Maybe he and Norman made some cookies for us." Neil happily suggested.

"I don't think it's that Neil." Wybie said, although that wouldn't be too bad.

"Perhaps the two got an update on Mother Abigail's whereabouts." Lili spoke up, earning nods from the others as that's probably it. Dipper finally comes into the room getting everyone's immediate attention. "Hey guys. Your probably wondering on why we called you here?"

"You got that right Dip, what's going on?" Coraline questioned.

"Well guys, earlier today I made a great discovery that we had a secret member in our group the whole time." This obviously confused the others for what did Dipper mean that there was another member in their group? Was there some guy or girl who had been fallowing them since Nebraska.

Neil had a sneaking suspicion, but it was impossible as there's no way Dipper saw her, the only way he could've saw her is if she had developed into a full body apparition. He knew this as he had a few glimpses of her after the incident in Blithe Hallow.

"Yes it's surprising, but without further ado meet Agatha Prenderghast." Dipper stepped aside and through the wall popped out Aggie.

Aggie had been nervous about doing this, what if they didn't accept her and just ran away. Neil would be the exception as he already knew about her existence, but the others is an entirely different question. Norman is just as nervous about this, but did his best to reassure her, she lets out a deep breath of confidence and went through the wall.

Upon her appearance it was suffice to say that they were completely cut off guard: Raz and Lili sat themselves up, Coraline leaned forward, Mabel's eyes are as wide as dinner plates, Neil is godsmack that he was seeing her more than just a few seconds or not as an angry cloud face, and Wybie practically had his mouth to the floor. "Holy moly!" He shouted.

Coraline raised her finger to point at the ghost girl. "A ghost has been with us the whole time?"

"Yes, it's a pleasure to finally be talking with you all." Aggie spoke up.

"But how come we can see you now?" Mabel question.

"I think it has something to do with a spell that I showed to Norman earlier, he said it out loud and now we can see her." Dipper explained.

"Ain't that convenient." Mabel exclaimed. Wybie meanwhile just thought of something. "So you were with us the whole time?"

"Yes"

"Then that means you were the one who blew up the tanker."

"The what?"

"You know the thing we used to defeat Scarface with."

Now understanding on what he's talking about, Aggie nodded in confirmation. "Oh yes, that was indeed me."

"You definitely saved our hides." Raz spoke up feeling rather impressed. This made Aggie blush as she cast her gaze away from him. "It was nothing really, it was Norman's idea after all."

"You know Norman?" Mabel asked.

"Oh yeah" Neil began. "Norman can see and talk to ghosts." Neil instantly covered his mouth for he has accidentally spilled his best friend's secret, but it was too late as everyone, (besides Dipper) looked at him completely silent, while Aggie facepalm for Neil spilling the beans.

"He can do what now?" Lili spoke up.

Norman now comes into the room. "What's going on guys?" Everyone's attention is now turned to him, he stopped in surprise from all eyes looking at him. "What?"

"You can see and talk to ghosts?" Raz said with a raised eyebrow.

A record player seems to have stopped in Norman's mind, looking to Neil he saw him wave at him with a nervous smile, mouthing sorry to him. "Yes, I can see and talk to ghosts." He answered reluctantly.

"That's cool!" Mabel announced.

"I guess it is. Are you guys not bothered by it?" That was the thing Norman really wanted to know. Much to his relief the others all said no, while shaking their heads.

"It's no big deal, I saw three ghosts myself once." Coraline said in order to make him feel better, now everyone's attention is on her. "You saw ghosts?" Norman asked in a little excitement, for it was always nice to hear others ghost encounters.

Wybie however already knew what Coraline is going to say, since she already told him about everything she had experience with the Other Mother, he still remembers the boot she threw at him. "I encountered three ghost children; two girls and one boy. They were in trouble and I helped free them."

"That's really kind of you to do that." Aggie said with a smile, she liked her even more, for helping ghosts move on, especially ones that are children like her. For someone to do that, they must have a good, brave heart. She knew this as most people were too scared by the sight of a ghost to even listen, though some times ghosts don't exactly make it easy when they're hostile, just like how she once was.

"What trouble were they in exactly?" Raz asked as he tilted his head.

Coraline didn't exactly want to reveal the details of the trouble she faced. "Let's just say that it was big trouble." That was all that Coraline could give, she goes silent while ignoring the questioning looks of the others, leaving them puzzled for what Coraline had possibly experienced, but it's very clear that they weren't going to get any answers from her. Instead they returned their attention to Aggie and asked her questions that she would happily answer, thus this was how Aggie officially met the other members of the group.


August 15

Several days have passed since the kids met Aggie, and she has become a welcome friend to the group. While she usually still hangs around with Norman, she does find herself spending time with the others who get surprised by her, since she tends to appear from behind them. As for the other people in the Boulder Free Zone; they still couldn't see or hear her, which is really confusing for the young ghost, Aggie guessed that the spell only works with certain people, or something that she couldn't explain.

There is still no word on the whereabouts of Mother Abigail, but no one is giving up on the hope on finding her, they also kept up hope that she is alright wherever she is.

On this day; Raz had gone to the wilderness to do some training. Although he swore to Lili he wouldn't tell anybody on what he or she can do, Raz felt that it wasn't an excuse to laze away from his psychic powers, so in order not to have anyone see him, Raz went deep into the wilderness to do some training.

Standing in the middle of a circle of trees, Raz had his eyes shut as he concentrated hard on his telekinesis. Small and medium rocks shook, then slowly floated up off the ground along with a squirrel that got caught in the telekinesis field. Concentrating harder, Raz made the rocks and squirrel go up over his head, breathing out slowly the rocks and squirrel are soon gently brought back down where upon release the terrified squirrel ran off to the nearest tree.

The telekinesis is good, so it's time for Raz to train on something else. He jumps up into the air and lands on a psychic ball, he goes back and forth for a bit, then went speeding forward. Raz went through the woods, going up and down hills, until getting up to a large pine tree. His psychic ball simply goes up the trunk, Raz jumps off the ball when he got up to the top, he does some flips before landing on a branch where he surveys the land; he saw trees, the mountains and the Boulder Free Zone below.

"What a nice view." The training is goingoing very well, it's very clear that he wasn't getting rusty with his abilities, but it wouldn't hurt to do some more training. Behind Raz a black crow had landed on the same branch, letting out a loud squawk makes Raz turn around to see the face of a man directly in his face.

"Boo!"

Raz jumped back and looses his balance, he felt the wind rush pass him as he fell backwards. Concentrating quickly, a hand emerges from his head and grabbed hold of a passing branch, he swings left, goes over the branch where he lands perfectly on it. Raz had felt his life drain as he had been falling, but now that he was safe Raz calms himself down and then looked back up to the top of the tree where that man had completely disappeared into thin air.

Just who exactly was that? And where did he exactly go? Whoever he was, Raz was just glad that he was safe for if he wasn't quick enough he would've either been killed or broke both of his legs and with him being so far from the Free Zone, he could've been out here with his broken legs for a long time.

Raz now looks over in front of him and jumped again as a message in blood is engraved on the bark of the tree. "Don't get comfy, things are going to blow."


"After that, I climbed down the tree and ran all the way here." Raz explained to Lili as they stood by her garden that has several flowers growing in it.

Lili thought hard about what her boyfriend had just told her, it was really concerning from not only that alarming message, but also because Raz nearly got seriously hurt or worse, if he hadn't remembered his training. "So who was this jerk?" She asked as she wouldn't mind giving him a piece of her mind.

"I don't know, he just appeared from nowhere. All I really saw is his face and that hair of his." Raz shook his head as he remembered him and his near death experience. "What was stranger is that before I turned around, I heard a crow call. It probably isn't connected to anything, but it's still interesting to note."

Lili thinks about this some more very carefully. "Alright whoever this guy is, we do know one thing. He wants to blow something up and we can't let that happen."

"You got that right Lili." Raz agreed. "Now what does he want to blow up?"

"Who knows, but we must find out." Lili said in determination.

"Do we tell the others?"

Lili thought about this, but ultimately decided against it. "I don't want to worry them. They already suffered enough with the events of Project Blue, let's just make this a secret psychonaut business."

Hearing that made Raz excited, having official psychonaut business? That sounded great! He was a little unsure on not telling the others about this troubling News, but he came to realize that Lili is right on not wanting to make them worry some more, after everything they had already been through.

With agreement on that, Raz and Lili planned to keep an eye on things, if they see something suspicious they'll stop that man from blowing anything up. It's a psychonaut promise.


August 20

Several events have happened in the Boulder Free Zone: one; there was another meeting addressing on the team doing a good job on cleaning up the corpses around town and the update on the search for Mother Abigail which was still nothing so far. Two; three Boulder Free Zone members have left for unknown reasons; the three who left are Dayna, the judge, and Tom Cullen which really bumped Norman as he never had chance to ask him about his ability to see Aggie. The third thing that happened is Nadine, (a girl who's been with Larry) has moved in with Harold which surprised the kids as it seemed so sudden.

There's also the news that Franny Goldsmith is pregnant. It's exciting news as a pregnancy is already a great thing to get excited about, but a pregnancy after such a disaster is a even more greater reason to get excited as it's a one way step for recovery.

Also during this time, Raz and Lili kept an eye out for anything suspicious, they haven't seen anything yet, but they weren't going to call it a day until they stopped whatever the man is planning to blow up. When they were with the others they remain silent on what they were doing just like they agreed on.


Today; Coraline had coxed Wybie, Neil, and Norman to come with her to a old house, that looked to be the typical haunted house you see in a Scooby Doo cartoon. The reason Coraline came here is because she wanted to explore the place and she brought Norman along in case there were ghosts in there. Neil came along as he thought it would be cool to explore the place, while Wybie just came to make sure they don't cause any trouble.

They held themselves on top of a wooden fence, looking up at the right side of the house. "So is this the place?" Norman asked.

Coraline nodded intently and with excitement. "Oh yeah! I came across the place last Friday and I wanted to do a ghost investigation ever since."

"So why didn't you Jonesy?" Wybie question, he honestly felt a bit nervous being around the house, it just had a creepy atmosphere. "Duh, I didn't know if there were any ghosts in here, but now I got a person who can tell me that there are."

Norman turned to her with regard. "I had a feeling that's the reason you brought me here." Coraline snapped her fingers and winked at him with a smirk. "You got that right Normy. So do you see any?"

Norman takes a good look around the outside of the house, along with the windows. He eventually shook his head. "Sorry, I don't see anyone."

"So there's no ghosts here?" Neil asked.

"There's possibly some or one inside Neil." Norman corrected.

"Well!" Coraline happily announced. "Looks like we're going in then." Without waiting for any of them to respond, Coraline climbed over the fence and landed perfectly on the other side. The others watched her, with Wybie looking unsure. "Are you sure that's a good idea? We could get in trouble."

"Come on, it's not like anyone is living here, plus no one cares about trespassing anymore." Coraline remarked, she then went off towards the front door. From the fence, Norman and Neil looked at each other briefly before shrugging together and hop over the fence to catch up with Coraline, leaving Wybie to stay there alone as he shook his head, "Just why does she have to be so adventurous?"

He reluctantly climbs over the fence and ran over to the others who stood at the front steps, looking at the front door. Wybie climbs up the steps and tries the door which doesn't budge, this makes him smile as he shrugged nonchalantly. "Oh well it's locked, looks like we have to go do something else." Going down the stairs, Wybie walks passed them a few feet before being stopped by Coraline gripping his shoulder. "Not so fast, there are other ways to get in."

Neil waves his hand around, getting all of their attention. "I got an idea." Turning to the door, Neil smiled brightly as he cracked his fingers for he always wanted to do this. Charging forward, Neil shoulder bumps the door, breaking it open which made the door swing and bang against the inside wall. Standing in the doorway, Neil proudly turned around to his stunned friends who stood on the lawn, looking at him.

"Well that's one way of getting in." Coraline remarked as she and Norman went up the porch steps, Wybie nervously looked around, hoping that they weren't going to get in trouble, he soon slowly goes into the house.


The inside is just as creepy as the outside of the house; it had cobwebs hanging, dusty furniture, and a old green couch. Coraline with hands on her hips looked around, while behind her Neil awed at the place, Norman nodded at the house with a blank stare, and Wybie is fearfully rubbing his hands together.

"See anything?" Coraline addressed to Norman in which he shook his head. This didn't deter her however as there has to be one or more ghosts in here, looking towards the second floor in interest, perhaps there's some upstairs. "Come on."

The kids go up the stairs and as they did, Wybie who's in the back of the group began to speak. "I still can't believe that Tom, the judge, and Dayna have left Boulder."

"I know it's shocking. I wonder why they left such a nice community?" Neil exclaimed as for him there was no need to leave, he's sure there's other nice communities out there, but Boulder in his opinion is the best one.

"Maybe they got sick of the scenery or something." Norman suggested.

"Well I heard some rumors that they left for Las Vegas." Wybie informed.

"Why Las Vegas?"

"I don't know Norman, but I doubt it's to test their luck." Wybie remarked as they all got to the top step.

"Well you guys stop all that chattering." Coraline called out to them. "We're ghost investigating here."

"Coraline I don't think there's any-"

"GET OUT!" A loud voice called out, the voice made Wybie go silent and freeze in his tracks, along with the others who looked around in fright as it sounded like the voice came from everywhere.

"You were saying Wybie." Coraline whispered.

Neil looked nervously around as he rubbed his hands together, that voice sounded angry. "Norman?" Neil called out in a fearful whisper. "Do you see anything?"

Norman looked around, trying to pinpoint the spirit. The voice made him nervous as well, for it sounded like this was a ghost that didn't like visitors, this has suddenly become a dangerous situation and for their safety they needed to leave right now. Coraline had other ideas however, this investigation had become very exciting. She turned around and gestures for the others to continue on. "Come on guys."

The three looked at her godsmack, she really wanted to continue on? Even when that voice told them to get out. "You sure that's wise Jonesy?" Wybie spoke up.

"Yeah, we should do what the spirit as told us or else things may get bad." Norman warned.

"Oh don't be chickens guys. I want to see this ghost first, then we can leave." Coraline remarked.

"That's not really wise." Norman told her in hopes of changing her mind.

"Don't worry we'll be fine." A old pot is suddenly thrown from a table down the hallway, Coraline just saw it and jumped out of the way just as the pot slammed onto the floor and shattered everywhere. With this Norman decided to take charge, "Right, we're leaving now."

But Coraline wasn't ready to leave just yet, the sense of adventure is too strong, she took a couple of steps forward. "Come on just four more minutes." At the end of that sentence Coraline gave out some puppy eyes, which reluctantly got the guys to fallow her.

The four reached a door at the end of the hallway, Coraline opens it to reveal a bedroom with a dusty, king size bed, a bookshelf that's next to a fireplace, there's also some pictures on the wall, and red curtains blowing from the wind that came through cracks in a window.

Stepping into the room, the kids took a good look around, Neil stopped in front of the bed and placed his hand on the mattress where he pushes down on it. "Whoever slept on this, sure had a good night's sleep." Taking his hand off the mattress, the dust flew up into his face making him sneeze.

Norman meanwhile felt very nervous, they are really pushing their luck by ignoring the ghost's commands, he knew that one of them were going to get hurt or they were all going to get a scare. He kept his eyes peeled for anything supernatural, he could at least warn his friends before something bad happens.

Coraline stood in front of the fireplace, trying to find out on how to contact this spirit. She didn't have a tape recorder to get EVPS or an Ouija board, just how is she supposed to contact the spirit? Looking up at the bricks of the fireplace, maybe some knocking can get her some contact. Coraline went up to the fireplace and does two knocks, waiting a bit it seemed to Coraline that it didn't work, but then a knock responds to her.

This startled, but overall excited her as she actually got a response. Coraline knocks again and waited a bit before another knock responds to her. Norman looked over as he heard the knocks, through his now widen eyes Norman saw an elderly man next to the fireplace with an angry look.

After Coraline knocked again, the elderly man raised up a fist. Norman is about to warn her, but he was too late. The elderly man punched her in the stomach, Coraline hunched forward while letting out a puff of air as she winched in pain. "That hurt." She said under her breath, Wybie and Neil quickly go up to her side in worry. "Are you alright Coraline?" Neil asked.

"No, I just got socked in the stomach." Coraline replied in a snark.

"Who did that?" Wybie question.

Norman now speaks up. "He did." Norman points over to the empty space at the fireplace. The kids feel the temperature grow cold, cold enough to see their breaths.

Norman continued to look at empty space as if listening to someone, finally Norman speaks up with a ease of nervousness. "He wants us to leave right now."

"Why did he punch me?" Coraline asked a bit mad over the uncalled for assault. Norman turned and listened to the ghost who gave out not so kind words about the kids trespassing in his home, turning back to his friends, Norman decided to give them the brief rundown, without the rude words this man has said. "He really hates kids and he wants us out or else."

"Or else what?" Neil naively asked.

"Why would you ask that Neil?" Wybie asked with his hand held on his forehead. The fireplace suddenly lit up and a large amount of flames erupted out where it almost touched the ceiling, within the flames a scary face formed. The face open its mouth and screamed loudly, this made the kids run out of the bedroom, they raced like the wind down the hallway, down the stairs, and out the front door.

The kids ran all the way to the park, they finally stopped running when they got to a large tree. After feeling like that they were far enough away from the house, the four kids huffed and puffed to catch their breaths after all that running they just endured, after catching his breath Wybie finally spoke up. "I think we now know that the house is 100% haunted."

"Yeah, I think that's enough investigating for one day." Coraline exclaimed in agreement.

"I'm sorry guys, if I would've been more firmed we could've put the spirit at ease." Norman said, he suddenly felt a hand get placed on his shoulder, looking up he saw that it was Wybie. "Hey don't beat yourself up. It wasn't your fault."

"Yeah buddy, it's technically Coraline's fault." Neil added.

"Alright let's not point fingers here." Coraline said in defense of herself.

Neil meekly smiled. "Sorry"

"So" Wybie began. "What should we do now? We still got a lot of daylight left?" Neil raises his hand eagerly. "I got an idea!"

"This should be interesting." Coraline said.

Neil's idea turned out to be bike riding down a hill. Okay, Coraline did have to admit that it was fun, they have gotten the bikes at a store, then after finding a hill with no one around, they all go down a tall hill they have came across.


It truly was a good way to end the day, after experiencing something very scary. And through his vision, Norman saw several ghosts watching them go down the hill repeatedly. After today, it sure is good to see some passive ghosts.
