Previously...

"... You three, no more going into the forest without either, or both, of us present. Understand?" He looked at the triplets, walking off.

The triplets nodded quickly, "Yes, we understand."

"Good. Let's go. This has been enough chaos for today." He sighed, before stopping, "That reminds me... You four can go ahead, I'll find my way home on my own. I need to tell Jeff something."

Will smiled, "Alright. Come on, you three, let's go home."


The triplets nodded, following him to the house and then inside. Wendy stared at them in surprise, "Wow, okay, I'm... not sure how to process this."

"I thought you were Ice," Will snickered.

Wendy smiled, "You have a point. It's cool."

"Yeah, well... it's even more cool. Hey, Wendy, tell me something the triplets probably wouldn't know about you." Will smiled, "Don't worry, they won't be able to hear. Cosmo is blind, Luna is partly blind, and River is partly deaf, so... it won't exactly matter."

Wendy sighed, getting closer to him, before whispering, "Alright. Dipper used to have a crush on me."

"Wow. Okay... one moment," Will grinned, before disappearing.

Wendy looked over at the triplets, and they all looked surprised.

River gasped, "Dad had a crush on you?! How?!"

"Okay, that's cool." Wendy admitted, once Will showed up again, "How'd you do that? Oh, and... to answer your question, sweetheart, it's because we were younger then, and... I don't really know."

Will grinned, "I just went into... a different place. I said it aloud there, and River could hear me. She can hear from that place, which is interesting. Luna can see from both, and Cosmo can only see from it. So... technically, Cosmo's blind, Luna's partly blind, and River's partly deaf."

"So... wait... what can Cosmo see then?" Wendy asked.

Will frowned, "Me, Bill, and... a bunch of other creatures. Luckily, he's not scared of them, and neither is Luna."

"Oh. Could he know what I look like, though?" Wendy asked.

Will nodded, "Yes. Cosmo, Luna, River, this is Wendy Corduroy."

"Hi, Wendy!" Luna smiled, running up to hug her.

Wendy laughed, "Okay, you're like Mabel."


"Hey Jeff, I need to tell you something. It's important." He sighed, walking towards the gnome, who backed away.

Jeff frowned, "Why should I trust you?"

"Because It has to do with The Axolotl. They told me something important, that I should pass on to you, so you can tell the rest of the forest," He admitted.

Jeff sighed, walking closer to him, "Okay, what did The Great One tell you?"

"First of all, I'm telling you that, I won't hurt any of you, unless you hurt anyone in my family. Okay, so... they've told me that they were giving someone else my role as the opposite of them... and... they're giving it to Will. So... can you just tell everyone that?" He asked.

Jeff nodded, "Of course, it won't be that hard to tell everyone."

"I hope not. Anyhow, bye Jeff... and stop trying to torment my family," He mumbled, walking away.

Jeff gulped, before nodding, "Of course! I'll stop... or, at least, I'll try..."


He eventually reached the house, Wendy looked up at him, "So... are going to stay here, or what?"

"Bye, man. I should go back home," Wendy shrugged, walking out of the door.

Will was confused, "What was that about?"

"Uh... a lot of things, probably..." He admitted, looking down, "Do you all want to continue playing Truth or Dare? I can go get Ford, and then we can all play."

The six looked at each other, before Mabel smiled, nodding, "Sure. It'll probably pass the time before dinner."

"Alright, I'll go get Ford," He announced, walking towards where Ford was, dragging him to the table, where everyone else sat down.

"So... I can go first." Aurora smiled, "So... Ford, truth or dare?"

"Truth. I'm not trusting you enough that I will chose dare," Ford smiled, glaring at him.

Aurora giggled, "Well, I won't disagree. Anyway... do you have any safeguards against him?"

"Let's see... I have a metal plate in my head, a mind reading machine in the lab, and... spare unicorn hair, Mercury, and moonstone from nine years ago, so... I think I'm good." Ford grinned, "Bill, truth or dare?"

"Dare," He smirked.

Ford smirked, "I dare you... to tell me why you didn't tell me about Aurora."

"That's not fair!" He shouted, "I can't say dare, and you just ask me a question!"

Mabel shrugged, "It's not against the rules."

"What rules? Truth or dare doesn't have rules!" He pouted.

Dipper snickered, "No, it doesn't. So... answer the question. You're avoiding it."

"Fine. I kept her away from you... because, partly because you were in the portal for most of her... childhood... and... I had forgotten to tell you after that... plus, nine years ago, I doubt you'd believe me," He shrugged.

Ford sighed, "Okay, you have a point. I probably wouldn't have."

"Exactly. Anyway... Mabel, truth or dare?" He asked.

Mabel smiled, "Truth!"

"... how far have you gone with Will?" He asked, grinning.

Will put his face against the table, "I hate you."

"Uh... just kissing..." Mabel grinned, "Anyway... Ford, truth or dare?"

"Truth," Ford sighed.

Mabel giggled, "Were you ever intimate with Bill, when he was a triangle?"

"... I don't want to answer that," Ford's face grew red.

He grinned, "The answer is yes. Even though, he's really embarrassed about it, if you can't tell."

"Alright! Ford, you're turn!" Mabel grinned, giggling st the answer given by Bill.

Ford sighed, "Can I just ask Aurora a few questions?"

"I'm fine with it:" Aurora smiled.

Ford nodded, "Alright... so, what are hunters exactly?"

"They're people who hunt us for a living, and get money for it in return. They're mostly paid money from people we've wronged, or something like that." Aurora shrugged, "I don't completely know, I've never been targeted by them. Well, that, and... they took one of my friends away from me. I haven't seen her since..."
