Chapter 5

What changes never makes things easier…

"What's going on Stan!?" Dipper shouted as he was being thrown about in the back seat with his sister.

"Never mind that. You kids are going back to your mothers!" Stan said as he increased his car's speed.

Suddenly a FBI car rammed into Stan's car and it sped out of control and into a tree…

1 hour earlier…

Dipper just got off the phone with Stan and looked at Mabel, Pacifica, and Candy…

"What did Gruncle Stan say Dipper?" Mabel asked.

"He said he was coming to get us…Sounded like it was an emergency or something." Dipper said.

"Let's walk Candy home first and then Pacifica. Since Candy's house is just right up the street, we can drop her off and then Pacifica afterwards." Mabel suggested.

"That sounds good. Let's go." Pacifica said as she started walking and the others followed.

Once the four got to Candy's house and dropped her off. Everyone else heard a car screeching down the road. They saw the car and immediately knew that it was Stan as the car stopped in front of them and Stan got out.

"You two, in the car. Now!" Stan demanded.

"Gruncle Stan, what's going on?" Mabel asked.

"No time to explain." Stan said as he opened the back seat doors of his car.

"We have to get Pacifica home though." Dipper said.

"Ugh. Alright, get in kid and I'll drop you off at your house." Stan said to Pacifica.

"I'm not getting in that death trap of a ca- HEY WAIT!" Pacifica said as Stan grabbed her arm and threw her in as Dipper and Mabel followed.

All three of them buckled up and Stan sped away.

"Stan! What's the rush!?" Dipper demanded.

"Kid I know you have questions but you gotta trust me." Stan said as he floored it.

Later on. Stan dropped Pacifica off and she was in complete shock after witnessing Stan's driving.

"Get inside and stay in. It's not safe out here anymore." Stan said then rolled up his window and drove away…

Stan took sharp turns around streets as he was rushing the car to its limit…

"What's going on Stan!?" Dipper shouted as he was being thrown about in the back seat with his sister.

"Never mind that. You kids are going back to your mothers!" Stan said as he increased his car's speed.

Suddenly a FBI car rammed into Stan's car and it sped out of control and into a tree…

Dipper was the first to wake up from the crash but his vision was blurry and his head hurt. Mabel and Stan were still unconscious but still alive thankfully. He then saw his sister taken away by FBI agents along with his great uncle.

"Wh-What's going on?" Dipper struggled to say.

"We're here to take you in…all of you." The FBI agent said as he pulled Dipper out of the car and into the back of the FBI van along with his sister and great uncle.

The van drove off and Dipper knew this wasn't good…

2 hours later…

"STANLEY PINES!" The agent said as he slammed his hand on the table and woke up Stan from sleep.

"Wh-What's going on! Where the hell am I?!" Stan demanded.

"We saw you on our cameras taking the children at high speed. We tried to stop you but you ignored the police cars. Why were you going at high speeds with the children in the back!?" The agent demanded.

"L-look. I overheard on the radio that two more kids went missing and I feared for my great niece and nephew's safety." Stan defended.

"Still though! You ignored local law enforcement and we couldn't keep watch knowing that you might be a possible suspect with your actions! You could have harmed those kids!" The agent said.

"It wasn't going to harm them! I was trying to get them the hell out of this town before they were the next ones! Didn't you know what happened with the last two missing kids!?..." Stan said.

Meanwhile with Dipper and Mabel…

"Where is our Gruncle Stan!?" Mabel shouted as she pounded on the two-way mirror in the interrogation room and Dipper sat at the table.

"Mabel, they aren't going to tell us anything until they come in here so pounding on the glass isn't going to help anything." Dipper said.

"But Dipper the FBI could be doing horrible things to him as we speak! They could be experimenting, or probing him, or dissecting him on a lab table or something!" Mabel shouted as she shook her brother and Dipper stopped her.

"Mabel that's Area 51 not the FBI." Dipper said.

"Same difference!" Mabel shouted and Dipper rolled his eyes at his sister's weirdness.

Suddenly the door opened and a female FBI agent named Carol came in…

"Please sit down you two." Carol calmly said and the twins obeyed.

"What's going on?" Dipper asked.

"Your great uncle, Stanley Pines, is in questioning right now because of his actions with his driving. We have slight reason to believe he is a potential suspect in the missing children case." Carol said.

"Stan wouldn't do that though!" Dipper shouted in disbelief.

"For the most part we agree with you. However, his driving well over the speed limit proves suspicion. We are just getting all the facts right now." Carol said.

"Do you think there might be another motive than him being a suspect?" Mabel asked.

"…It's possible that Mr. Pines was acting to the news bulletin on the radio earlier today. That's probably why he was acting that way with his driving." Carol said.

"What news bulletin?" Dipper asked.

"Two more kids went missing earlier today right after you all got out of school." Carol said.

"What!?" Dipper and Mabel said in disbelief and in shock.

"That's not the only problem… A boy was one of the kids that went missing. So that made us to suspect that the kidnapper isn't just going after girls now and we have to profile this perpetrator differently." Carol said.

"Why are you telling us all of this?" Dipper asked.

"Well for starters. The FBI did have you on our suspect list but now you are cleared after looking at your property and movements in and outside of school." Carol said.

"Wait. WHAT?! I was a suspect!?" Dipper shouted.

"That was correct. However, like I said, we've cleared you so now we are treating you as a potential target for this kidnapper and we are giving you and your sister all the information we can so we can protect you two." Carol said.

"So…What's going to happen now?" Mabel asked.

"An FBI agent is going to accompany you two along with the rest of your class to make sure no more possible kidnappings will occur. Also the buddy system is being shut down and all students need to take transportation home from now on." Carol said which made Dipper's heart sink a little because he can't walk with Pacifica anymore.

"Are we going to go home here soon?" Mabel asked.

"Just hang in there a little longer until we get done questioning your great uncle." Carol said as she got up and walked out of the interrogation room.

Carol then walked behind the two-way glass with another FBI agent…

"We got done questioning Mr. Pines. He's telling the truth, he's just rattled up about the announcement of Thomas Turnbuckle and Susy Rachel being the latest missing kids." The male FBI agent said.

"Still though we can't let these kids know about what happened 5 years ago. If we do, then the nightmare will start all over again…" Carol said as she and the male FBI agent watched Dipper and Mabel through the two-way mirror…

1 hour and a half later…

Stan, Dipper, and Mabel were cleared to go home. Stan's car was repaired and returned in exchange that he doesn't talk about what happened…

"Gruncle Stan, I'm tired…" Mabel whined.

"It's alright Mabel, we're going home now." Stan said.

"Are we still going back to our mother's?" Dipper asked.

"No… I'm sorry that I said that kid. I was just scared and I didn't know what to do. The FBI told me that I have to pick you guys up from now on and I agreed…However, I want you two to promise me something." Stan said as he turned and faced Dipper and Mabel.

"What is it Gruncle Stan?" Dipper asked.

"Don't ever. And I mean EVER try solving this yourselves. Let the FBI handle it." Stan said in a serious tone.

"S-Sure." Dipper nervously said.

"Will do." Mabel said.

"Good. Now, let's get home." Stan said and the three got into the car and headed home for the evening…

The next morning…

Gossip and rumors about Mrs. Crow's class was all the school was talking about. Everyone feared the remaining students and kept their distance from them. Even the teachers and school staff began to believe in the rumor that Mrs. Crow's class was cursed, some even quit because of it…

Dipper, Mabel, Pacifica, Candy, Tiffany, Amanda, and Gideon were all that was left. However, things weren't as usual anymore in the classroom. The FBI sent 3 of its agents to the class room and watch for any and all suspicious activities but all the agents were doing was just standing in different parts of the classroom and making the last seven students nervous and uneasy.

After class, it was lunch time and all seven students walked together. Since they were all marked as cursed by the school populace, everyone stayed away but that didn't stop the gossip and rumors. Candy and Mabel were scared, Dipper was lost in thought, Tiffany and Amanda were texting, Gideon was looking at Mabel from behind, and Pacifica was getting really annoyed from all the uneasy looks she was getting from other students outside her class…

As Mrs. Crow's class sat together at their own table, all of them felt like outcasts from the rest of the school. Everyone was watching them in a near silent cafeteria. Only a few students were talking but the rest of the lunch room was very quiet as kids, teachers, and staff were watching Mrs. Crow's students.

"Alright…ENOUGH!" Pacifica shouted as she got up.

"Pacifica!" Mabel whispered.

"Everyone just eat your damn lunches and quit gawking at us like we are a disease! We are just students for God sakes!" Pacifica shouted to the whole cafeteria and then she sat down in irritation.

"…This has to stop." Dipper said.

"I'm not going to stop until everyone leaves us alone!" Pacifica said.

"Not that. I'm talking about our class going missing." Dipper said.

"I heard Susy and Thomas were the latest victims. Does that mean the kidnapper is going after guys too instead of girls?" Candy asked.

"Yes it seems that way." Mabel said.

"Don't worry my darlin, I'll protect ya." Gideon said with a creepy smile as he tried getting close.

"Hey! Stay away from her!" Dipper said as he got in between Mabel and Gideon.

"What's yer problem boy!?" Gideon demanded.

"I could ask you the same thing! Ever since my sister and I started going to this school, you've been looking at her and kept on trying to get with her! She doesn't like you so back off!" Dipper shouted.

"Gideon is the kidnapper!" Tiffany shrieked.

"Get the police!" Amanda said.

"Enough! All of you, just calm down!" Pacifica shouted and every quieted down.

"What are we going to do?" Amanda asked.

"I don't know…but I do know that Gideon isn't the kidnapper." Pacifica said.

"How do you know that?" Candy asked.

"He couldn't kidnap anyone if he wanted to. Seriously, if he was the kidnapper, Grenda would have torn him apart." Pacifica explained.

"Hey! I'm not that weak! I can hold my own!" Gideon shouted.

"Gideon. Just shut up. We all know about what happened the week before Dipper and Mabel came to our class. How you cried your eyes out when Susy rejected you. You tried to slap her but she kicked your ass and you ran home like a little bitch." Amanda said.

"I-I don't have to take that crap! I'm…" Gideon stuttered as he blushed with angered embarrassment. Gideon then walked out of the cafeteria in anger.

"Glad that's over with. Gideon has more drama than a prom night girl that broke a nail, lost her prom date, and was going through a period." Pacifica said.

"Still though… I think its creepy how he looks at me." Mabel said with a shudder.

"Well we'll make sure he won't do anything. He may be a creep but he's a total pussy." Pacifica said.

"Well we still have this problem none the less. We have to find out who amongst us is the kidnapper." Dipper said.

"Hmm… Mabel." Pacifica said.

"Yes?" Mabel asked.

"Does your great uncle allow sleep overs?" Pacifica asked.

"Oh no. no No NO!" Dipper said as he panicked.

"What's wrong Dipper?" Mabel asked.

"I'm not sleeping in the same room with a bunch of girls!" Dipper said.

"Just help Soos with clearing out the spare room Dipping sauce and we'll sleep in there." Mabel said.

"But why do we have to have a sleep over?" Dipper asked.

"Because we need to talk about this away from other students. For all we know, one of them is the kidnapper." Pacifica said.

"But won't your parents forbid you for going to a commoner's house…N-no offence." Tiffany said.

"That's why I'm taking you two with me." Pacifica said with a smile.

"WHAT!?" Tiffany and Amanda shouted in unison.

"Don't act surprised. You both knew what you were getting yourselves into." Pacifica said.

"But our parents…" Tiffany said.

"Will be compensated for you two accompanying me for one night." Pacifica said with another smile.

"You sure your parents will be okay with this?..." Amanda asked.

"They aren't going to care…" Pacifica said as her mood changed and looked away a little.

"Can Candy come too?" Mabel asked.

"It's your house silly. You don't have to ask me." Pacifica said.

Candy and Mabel cheered with joy.

"I can't believe I'm having a sleep over!" Mabel shouted with happiness.

Pacifica wanted this sleepover because of three important things… She wanted everyone to get their minds off this problem a little and enjoy themselves. However, they still will have to talk about it eventually. But the third thing she wanted was to get closer to the boy she's been thinking about all this time, as a smile crept up on her face when she thought of that reason alone…

TO BE CONTINUED…

AN: So Pacifica planned a slumber party at Mabel and Dipper's place. What do you think might happen? Will Pacifica and Dipper get closer to one another? Will the group find out who the real kidnapper might be after talking about? Or will they find out more than what they bargained for? Find out next time…BYE!
