Shot of a dark room. Soon things come into focus showing three people, two kids, a boy and a girl, and a teenager, in a cramped closet full of sweaters and vests. They look panicked and the teenager peeks out of a crack between the doors every so often. The boy speaks:

"Welcome back to Dipper's Guide to the Unexplained. Currently, we are running from a creature that surpasses all scare levels in the book. Its name, Mystery 618, is Bear-o. It is Mabel's," Dipper gestures towards Mabel, who waves at the camera, "teddy-bear-puppet-demon-monster-thing. Midnight, take the camera and show them the horror."

The teen takes the camera and points it out the crack and shows a teddy bear that wears a hat and has stuffing leaking out. It is floating and seems to be looking around a bedroom that has two beds in it. One side is sparkly and exciting while the other side is ordinary and bland. Suddenly, the torn bear-puppet looks directly at the camera.

"Oh no! It sees us! Run! RUN! RUUUUUUUUUUUN!" On the last "run" by Dipper, the trio run out of the closet and go rushing through the front door. The camera takes the back of Dipper and Mabel on tape as Midnight is right behind the Mystery Twins. As they reach the door, the camera goes into

The three are in the forest. They are next to a wiry black tree. This can be recognized as the tree the Hide-Behind is behind. They thought this place was safe because of the lack of scientific evidence.

"Oh my gosh! We're all gonna die! I thought that Bear-o was a sweetheart! How could he lie to me?! The person who cared for him!" Mabel was ranting about how Bear-o was a backstabber while Dipper was pacing and holding his chin. Midnight was leaning against a tree on watch duty. The three were clearly on the edge of a metaphorical cliff, just about to jump into a metaphorical abyss largely labeled as "insanity". Dipper speaks:

I think I read something about this in the book." He pulls a red leather bound book with a golden 6 fingered hand with "3" written on it. "Yeah, here it is. 'Demented Dolls: According to my research, some dolls that have a scarring history will come to life and try to find people that will understand and destroy their curse. To free a doll from this state, the current owner must confront it and deal with its pain.' Mabel, did you here that? You have to go back and find Bear-o."

Mabel's stops ranting and faces Dipper. "'You?' Are you saying that I'm going alone? What kind of brother are you?!"

Now it's Midnight's turn to speak. "Hey, maybe he's just too scared. Besides, I'll go with you. Now let's get Bear-o back, k'?"

"What!? I'm not-"

"Thanks , Midnight. Dipper, you stay here until this is over."

"But I'm not sc-"

"Yeah, Mabel's right. We don't want to have you pee your pants while on dut-"

"I SAID I'M NOT SCARED!"

` "Does that mean you're coming?"

"Yes, Midnight, yes it does. Now let's go." Dipper shoulder-shoves Midnight, who stands firm, which causes Dipper to fall.

"Sorry, dude. I was trying to get you come. I guessed saying you were a wimp would make you come. Plus, it was Mabel's idea." Midnight points a thumb to Mabel, who is behind him.

"Wait, was not!"

"Was to."

"Was not!"

"Was to."

"Was not!"

"Was to."

"Was not!"

"Was to."

"Was not!"

"Was not."

"Was to! Wait, ugh, you just-"

"Yep."

"And I just-"

"Uh-huh."

"Oh. Darn it."

Dipper interferes: "Soooooo, can we go now?"

""Sure,"" Mabel and Midnight answer together.

The trio start walking to the edge of the forest. They sit at the edge between forest and civilization. They look at the Mystery Shack, roughly 10 yards away, and they see a floating Bear-o, yet again looking for something. They sat for what seemed like maybe half an hour, watching the demented bear do its little search. Midnight breaks the silence.

"So you have to fight that, Mabel?"

"I guess so, that's what the book says, doesn't it."

Not waiting for an answer, the preteen girl starts her way across the worn dirt path to the haunted doll. Midnight gets to his feet and reaches an open hand toward Dipper.

"Hey, Dipper, hand me the camera, and stay where you are."

"But-"

"No buts except yours staying on the ground. Now hand me that camera."

"Then why did you let Mabel go?"

"Because she has to go, and if anything happened, we need someone on the outside to report everything if something went wrong. I know you're her twin, but for this once, just trust in her ability to do this."

Dipper glares at Midnight, thinking of the consequences of each scenario. Finally, he reaches a consensus.

"Nope." Dipper runs from his hiding to Mabel, who is nearly to Bear-o.

"Ugh, was I like this when I was twelve?" Midnight asked to himself. "Here goes nothing." The teen now dashes to them in hot pursuit of the Mystery Twins.

As soon as he makes it, Mabel points up to the doll and screams,

"Hey! Bear-o, look down here!" The bear, now aware of the three that are behind him, looks down upon them. His eyes weren't crossed, and they were looking straight at Mabel. The eyes, surprisingly, weren't scary, just glow-y. Instead, they were filled with hurt and sadness.

A voice spoke out. It seemed to be garbled and distant, but it was clearly audible to all three.

"Are you, Mabel, sure you want to dwell in my past. It will be sad, and I know you don't like that."

"Sad, shmad, who cares Bear-o, I just want you back the way you were. I don't care what it takes. You were my favorite doll since I was born. I love how I can never fix you fast enough. I love how your stuffing tickles my nose when I cuddle with you on stormy nights. I'll do anything, wait, take that back, almost anything. If it's something completely evil, like total world domination, or building a deathray, or kissing Gideon, I won't do it."

The bear chuckles through an unmoving mouth. "Don't fret. Those aren't what I want you to do. I just want to talk, and show you my history."

A swirling orb appeared in front of Bear-o. It was rainbow colored, much to Mabel's happiness, and was slowly getting bigger. Eventually, it swallowed Bear-o, and then it got closer to the three. Mabel got in front and jumped through. Midnight and Dipper were having a silent argument (staring at each other with squinty eyes) and Midnight, being older and more mature (it's not like he lost to a 12 year old) jumped through next. Finally, Dipper, with the camera, walked, not jumped, walked through the portal.
