As Dipper, Norman and Mabel made their way to the door of their bedroom, the door immediately swung open. It was Soos on the other side.
"Woah, Soos, you surprised us," said Dipper as he wiped his brow.
"Actually, you only surprised Dipper, me and Norman were fine," said Mabel.
"No problem dudes! I'm just looking for the extra air mattresses. Mr. Pines says we have some guests. Funny, I didn't know this place was a hotel," said Soos.
"It's not! Or at least, its not supposed to be," said Dipper.
"It'll be fun," said Mabel with excitement.
"Hey, Soos, we gotta kinda sneak off to the old abandoned middle school! Can you cover for us!? Don't tell Grunkle Stan or Norman's parents or anyone, alright!?" asked Dipper.
"Got it, dudes! But, uh, whose the tall hair kid!?" asked Soos.
"Oh, that's Norman, Norman, this is our friend Soos," said Dipper.
Norman stayed quiet and waved, leaving on his face a small grin.
"He's on vacation with his parents and is staying here for a few days," said Dipper. "You see, he…" Dipper was interrupted by Soos.
Soos walked up to Norman and started looking closer at him.
"Wait a sec, you're Norman Babcock are you!?" asked Soos.
"Yeah," said Norman as he nodded his head.
"Oh DUDE, you are SO popular on the internet! There's a site about you along with other kids who can see ghosts! There's even a middle schooler who went to the abandoned school and transferred a few months back, they said he was like Norman," said Soos.
"Wha..Really!?" asked Dipper and Norman at the same time.
"Yep, but hey, that's all I know. It might be an urban legend though, either way, good to have a celebrity here," said Soos as he left.
"Okay guys, just follow my lead," said Dipper.
Once Dipper, Norman and Mabel made it downstairs they made their way to the back door of the Mystery Shack, just near the adults who were still sitting around drinking coffee.
"Where are you goofballs headed," said Grunkle Stan.
"Of course we're not going to an old abandoned building somewhere," said Mabel.
"Wait, say what," asked Norman's mom.
Dipper covered Mabel's mouth and started pushing her out of the back door.
"Were headed over to…well…just get some air somewhere," said Dipper as Norman followed behind.
"Yeah, sure kid," said Grunkle Stan. As the door closed behind Norman who was last to walk out, Stan turns to Mr. and Mrs. Babcock and reacts, "pfft, kids today with their fresh air and loud music," as he sips his coffee.
"I know, right! That's what me and my husband were JUST talking about," said Mrs. Babcock.
Norman walked a little faster just to catch to Mabel and Dipper. He was taller, but he normally would tread slower than most.
"You guys have more ghosts then my hometown," said Norman.
"Really, you actually see them!?" asked Mabel.
"I think we actually covered this," said Dipper.
"Hello….Hi…excuse us…sorry," said Norman.
"Uh, who are you talking too…" said Dipper.
"The ghosts, silly," said Mabel. "Remember, he sees them, but we can't."
They walked a few more minutes longer and soon they finally made their way to the middle school.
"OK, there it is, according to this book, there's actually supposed to be some kind of map or something that leads to something big and important inside the school," said Dipper.
"Well, let's split up gang!" said Mabel as she put on an ascot and pointed towards the door. Waddles walked up from behind dressed up as Scooby Doo.
"Is your sister always like that?" asked Norman.
"You have to ask!?" said Dipper as he grinned. "Come on, let's go in, the sooner we get in the quicker we can solve this mystery."
As Norman walked ahead of Dipper towards the front door, he noticed the glass door was broken apart with glass shards left on the ground both inside and outside of the entrance.
"Wow, what a mess," said Norman as he touched a part of the door that had no glass, slowly opening it. As Norman opened the door, the door fell to the floor, breaking the glass. Everyone jumped.
"Woah, that was loud," said Mabel.
"Come on, let's go," said Dipper.
As they walked into the school they stopped in the lobby. They noticed three hallways; one ahead of them, and one to the left and the other to the right.
"Well, there doesn't seem to be any activity at all in the school," said Dipper.
"Yeah, I guess you're…" said Norman as he suddenly stopped mid-sentence. He noticed a ghost that appeared at the corner of his eye just down the hall.
"Wait…something was down there," said Norman.
"You sure," said Dipper.
"I'm positive, something flashed over there," said Norman.
"TO VICTORY!" said Mabel. "Let's go get that ghost!"
"Actually Mabel, we're really looking for some clues to this Myst…" said Dipper as Mabel grabbed Dipper and started running behind Norman towards the end of the hallway.
"Let's go!" said Norman. "I'm sure its this way!"
As they made their way down the middle of the hallway, the floor began to crack and lower. The ground crumbled below Dipper, Mabel and Norman and they start falling down a hole.
They all screamed as they fell down the dark hole.
"I guess I took too big of a risk this time," Dipper thought to himself as he fell.
Everything went completely black. All he could hear was Mabel's and Norman's screams.
