Dipper had been limping around the S'hack for around an hour, still reeling from his encounter at the diner. At around Two o'clock, there was a knock at the door. He pushed his seat away from the table and started to get up.

"Sit down Dipper, I got this." Wendy said. She opened the door, to see Pacifica standing there. Pacifica glared at Wendy. "Is Dipper there?" Wendy nodded. Pacifica tried to push past her but Wendy blocked her way.

"Woah woah, hold on bigshot. What do you want?" She asked, her eyebrows forming a slight frown. "Dipper's kinda out of service right now. He was kinda beaten up yesterday." Pacifica simply shrugged this off and started talking.

"I need his help. And I wanted to greet him formally." She said. "Not as friends or anything bu-" Wendy smirked and cut her off.

"What sort of help?" She said, a grin plastered across her face.

"Just assistance." She replied and barged past Wendy. Dipper looked up from the journal curiously and glanced over to see Pacifica Northwest approaching him. Shocked, he pulled out a chair for her to sit on but she simply grabbed his arm and pulled him up.

"I need your help." She said, looking shameful.

"Hi to you too I guess." He said, trying to fake a smile, but also wincing in pain as she was gripping one of his arm bandages tightly.

"With all the hunter diner stuff on the news, I thought you might be an expert on the subject"

"Well, maybe but I wil-" He tried to speak.

"Good. It came into my room through the window last night and told me to bring you there at Three o'clock."

"NO! It wants you to take me there so it can kill me." He yelled.

"I thought you could help me trick it."

"I could but-" Again he was cut off.

"Look guys, I can come too for some extra protection." Wendy butt in.

"Wendy, don't you have to work?" Pacifica asked.

"Pffft, please. Since when have I ever followed Stan's orders?" She asked, smiling and rolling her eyes.

"Good… point. Fine, you can come and help." Pacifica sighed.

Wendy looked at Dipper. "You think you're up for this dude?"

He was busy thinking about the monster. Its eyes. Those eyes. He snapped out of his confusion and said, "Yea, sure, I'm fine."

Wendy smiled and said, "To the golf cart!"

TIME SKIP

Dipper kept looking at Pacifica's clock. His sweat started racking up, and his heart rate increased. 2:57. 2:58. 2:59. Wendy waved her hand in front of his face. " Dude, you there?" He shook his head and said, "Yep I'm here and fine." She could tell he wasn't and looked over at Pacifica who raised an eyebrow and sighed.

"Look man, it'll be fine." She smiled to reassure him but he looked back at the clock and gasped. 3:00. It rung in his head. 3:00, 3:00, 3:00. Almost as soon as the clock changed, every light in the house went door swung off the hinges, crashing to the floor.

"HEY! That door was a perfect shade of purple!" Pacifica shouted. Then, there were the eyes. Its eyes. Those eyes. The red. The piercing nature. The terror-inducing stare. "WEll DOnE, NoRthwESt. YoU broUGHT mE tHE boY." It glared at him and he started hypersweatilating once again.

"Yeah, but you forgot something." Pacifica said. The thing looked at her and grunted.

"He's my friend." She flicked on a torch that was in her hand. Dipper smiled warmly.

"RAAAARGH! YoU SaiD yOU hATeD HiM!" The Hunter said, crashing to the floor.

"The Northwests are natural-born liars." She smiled.

Wendy slammed an axe into its neck.

"Where did you get that?" Pacifica exclaimed.

"I always have one on me. Come on!" They sprinted out of the room before the thing could get up.

They sat under the kitchen counter. They heard it prowling down the stairs. "I'LL FIND YOU CHILDREN!" It shouted. Wendy looked over the counter to see an axe lodged in the side of a huge monster. It stalked into the kitchen. "I CaN sMEll yoU." It scowled.

"I aLwAYs CAn." Wendy gestured down the corridor and they all scrambled up and sprinted away.

It jumped around the island in the middle of the kitchen, to see nothing. It looked up and saw them running away and growled, loudly.

They got to the end of the corridor and saw it split into three directions. The creature slammed the floor and some rafters fell, splitting them all up. Dipper on the left, Wendy on the right and Pacifica in the centre. Wendy yelled, "Just split up!" They all ran in their respective directions, fast.

The Hunter sniffed the air before shouting, "FoLLow tHE pINeS!" and sprinted through the corridor after him.
