Flashback…

"Pacifica!" Queen Priscilla called from down stairs.

"Yes Mother." The 13-year-old Pacifica answered from the second-floor balcony.

"Today will be Ms. Amanda's last day to teach your lessons. We must use the money we normally pay her to hire a new tutor for you. In other words, we are cutting waste." Priscilla announced which left Pacifica in a mild shock.

"PACIFICA! Do you understand!?" Priscilla shouted which broke Pacifica's silence.

"Y-Yes Mother!" Pacifica finally answered.

"Good. Now wrap up any last teachings you have for my daughter." Priscilla said after she turned around and took her leave and Pacifica saw Amanda came into view with sadden eyes.

"I can't believe this is it…" Pacifica said with tears in her eyes while the both were in her room.

"Not really. Just because I can't teach you anymore doesn't mean I can't stop by free of charge." Amanda said with a smile.

"B-But why?" Pacifica asked.

"Isn't obvious Pacifica? We're friends." Amanda said wiping away Pacifica's tears.

"N-No I meant…Why are you still allowed by my parents to come back? Even if you say it's free of charge, they believe there is nothing else you can teach me. So how will they let you see me?" Pacifica asked and then Amanda pointed to Pacifica's balcony that led outside.

"Who said I needed you parents' permission to see you? It might not be very often and we will have to be very careful but I will check up on you from time to time…If you want me to-" Amanda said until she was caught off guard by Pacifica quickly hugging her which she gave back.

"Of course I want that! Living in this castle, obeying my controlling parents, and dealing with my suffocating life is too much to bear…But you…you are a breath of fresh air. Even after my alchemy teacher died, as long as I had you, I felt sane." Pacifica said after she broke the hug.

"Very well. It's settled. At least once a week, I will bribe a guard I've known for years to let me see you during the night. We will talk for an hour or as much as time will let us before we are discovered. I will tell you about my adventuring life and what's going on outside. Doesn't that sound like fun?" Amanda said with a smile.

End of flashback…

"Princess! Over here! Is this it?" Grenda called and Pacifica came over to see what she found.

"Not quiet but we are getting close." Pacifica said.

"This kinda feels like an adventuring quest, huh?" Grenda said.

"Yes…" Pacifica said as she let a small smile slip on her face.

"Lady Pacifica. I've been reading through your plants and herb book and I discovered that the root we are looking for might be more upstream of this river." Bovard said as he approached.

"Yes. You're right. Let's get moving." Pacifica said as the three left the area to continue their search for the marshmallow root upstream…

Meanwhile, Dipper and Candy were continuing their trek towards the mountain. However, after an hour and half of nonstop traveling, they both decided to take a break at a nearby boulder…

"Thirsty?" Candy asked as she shared her water pouch.

"Thanks." Dipper said as he took a quick swig.

"We have to ration what we can. Otherwise, we will run out before we get back." Candy said.

"Don't worry. Sir Bovard gave us this teleportation scroll that he made last night but only for emergencies. If need be, we can use it to teleport us back to him but it only has one use. So, we have to be close together when we use it." Dipper said then saw Candy blush a little.

"C-Close…Like touching?…" Candy asked while turning away.

"Well…I assume so…but nothing too inappropriate obviously." Dipper said as he too blushed a little.

"R-Right. A-Anyways… We should continue." Candy said as she straightened herself out of being flustered.

Suddenly, Dipper and Candy heard horses galloping in the distance…

"Do you hear that?" Candy asked but Dipper hushed her to listen even closer…

Besides the horses, he heard men yelling which widen his eyes. He knew what was coming and didn't hesitate to grab Candy's arm and began running.

"Bandits! We need to run!" Dipper said with Candy in tow as they both ran as fast as they could…

At the Magic Academy…

Mabel was surprised how quick it took her to get to the Magic Academy. Her father told her it would take all day to reach but with her it only took a few hours and she didn't know why. Regardless, once they finally stopped at the large entrance of the estate, Mabel could see how amazing it was…

"This…is…" Mabel said in awe on how breathtaking the sight was.

From the entrance, Mabel saw buildings that weren't normally what she would see even in the royal capital. One building was changing shape over and over again, while another changed colors. However, what really caught Mabel's eye was the students walking around the academy grounds. Some were using magic to carry their books and bags in the air, some were goofing off with spells that made their arms grown and shrink into different sizes. While others had their nails grow and curl into weird directions. Then there were the interesting students that displayed their magic ability in advanced ways. One was flying using wind magic, while another was juggling flame balls with one hand while reading with the other. Some came out of a large fountain in the middle of the courtyard in forms of water before becoming normal again.

All this and more was intriguing Mabel beyond words. The excitement in her eyes, as well as her heart, was growing with each passing second. However, when she got out of the carriage, she was greeted by a pig that Mabel assumed was someone's pet…

"OH! HOW CUTE!" Mabel said as she was about to pet the random pig that appeared before her but suddenly the pig spoke…

"Please don't pet me my dear. I am not one that enjoys head pats." The pig said which startled Mabel and she backed away.

Suddenly, the pig transformed into a man with a pink suit and monocle on his right eye. His mustache was curly and his beard looked like a pig's tail. Mabel was holding back her laughter as best as she could. Especially since this man looked so ridiculous.

"I am Headmaster Waddles Julious Swineburg the third. I've received your missive from your father, the regional lord of Piedmont, Sir David Pines. I'm pleased that tuition has been paid for in full for a change instead of using installments like most of the academy students here. I'm also pleased that another member of the Pines family has enrolled into our school. However, don't expect any special treatment just because your great uncles were alumni here in our academy." Waddles said.

"O-Of course. Sorry for the late introduction. I'm Mabel Pines." Mabel said as she bowed to the headmaster.

"Indeed. Now, here are two things I've took the liberty of delivering you personally. You will need them both. First, your academic schedule for your studies. Pay good attention in classes and expand your curriculum. Lastly, your key to your dorm room. Keep in mind, that the dorms have their own rules that you must follow without question nor complaint. Do I make myself clear?" Waddles asked while looking intently at the slightly nervous Mabel.

"Y-Yes sir." Mabel replied.

"Good. Last thing, is your tour. One of our second-year students will show you where everything is. Also, you should know that your schedule has a magical map on the back of the paper. Should you need a reminder where any building is within the academy, this should guide you on your way. Now, for your tour guide. Mermondo!" Waddles yelled and out of nowhere, someone jumped out of the fountain in the courtyard.

The dark complexion young man was high in the air from his leap from the fountain. What caught Mabel's eye were two things about him. One, he was a half man from the waist up but his legs were a giant fish tail. The second thing was how dreamy he was to Mabel. Fish parts aside, she was completely attracted to his good looks as he descended to the ground. When he finally landed, his fish tail disappeared and he when back to human legs…

"More theatrics, Mr. Mermondo?" Waddles asked in a disapproval tone.

"My apologies, Headmaster." Mermondo said as he took a bow but quickly winked at Mabel which made her blush uncontrollably.

"As I was saying… This is Sir Fin Mermondo. Son of Aqauata and Triton of the Mermondo family. He hails from Aqautas, the city beneath the sea." Waddles explained.

"N-Nice to meet you. I'm Mabel. Mabel Pines. Hehe." Mabel said as she nervously shook his hand.

"Nice to meet you as well Lady Mabel. I hope we can be great friends here." Mermando said with a smile which just melted Mabel's heart.

"Anyways. I shall take my leave. Mabel, your classes will start in the morning. Be sure to learn the layout of the campus here at the Magic Academy and follow all the rules." Waddles said as he took his leave but transformed back into his pig body before waddling away…

"Hehe. That headmaster. Now, shall we get going?" Mermando asked.

"A-Absoulutly!" Mabel nearly shouted with enthusiasm because she knew from her heart, she was going to love every moment here…

Back with Dipper and Candy…

"I SEE THEM! OVER HERE!" One bandit shouted to the group that rode on horseback.

Dipper and Candy ran as best as they could but were no match for the horses as they easily caught up with them…

"Surround them!" Another bandit shouted and the group did just that.

Dipper and Candy knew they couldn't run any longer so both drew their swords in an attempt to resist if need be. However, one bandit in particular stood out from the group as he moved his steed to face Dipper and Candy…

"Well well well… Looks like I found me an unexpected catch!" The mysterious man wearing a hood said.

"Who are you! What do you want!?" Dipper shouted while Candy was trembling at the sight of the grown men eyeing her like a prize to have their way with.

Suddenly the leader bandit took off his hood and revealed his face which shocked Dipper with disbelief…

"Mark Douglas!? Why are you here? I thought you were supposed to be defending Piedmont!?" Dipper shouted.

"That's right. You don't know what happened, do you? Hahahaha!" Mark laughed.

"Know what?! Tell me!" Dipper demanded as he fear the worse.

"Like I tell Pines' brat anything. Just know you are the perfect bargaining chip I need to get my money…and your family's heads!" Mark sneered which pushed Dipper over the edge as he lunged for an attack.

However, before he could land a blow on Mark, Dipper's head was bashed from behind by another bandit. He fell the ground and the last thing he saw before going into unconsciousness was Candy too was on the ground unconscious and was being tied up…

"Good job boys. Now we take them to our camp at the base of the mountain." Mark ordered.

"I can't wait to have some of this." One bandit said as he started to grope Candy's rear but then his face was kicked by Mark.

"No touching the merchandise! The boy I have plans for but the girl would make some nice coin at the slave market. Her value will drop vastly if she was sullied so no damn funny business!" Mark shouted and the bandit group gathered the two and rode off towards the mountain…

Back at the royal capital…

"Did you see the posters?" A fruit vender asked a customer.

"Yeah! I can hardly believe it! Do you think she's ok?" The customer said.

"I hope so but her parents must be furious." The fruit vender said.

"SH! Don't be too loud. Otherwise, the guards might hear. We'll talk later." The customers said as she took her fruit she bought and left before the royal guards nearby overheard their conversation.

One of the royal guards put up another poster on a nearby post. The poster read:

"To all citizens of the royal capital. The first princess, Pacifica Elise Northwest, has deserted the kingdom of Gravity Falls. A reward is offered to all those who can provide creditable information to her whereabouts. Harboring the first princess will be severely punishable. All persons involved in her absence will be arrested for questioning and punishment. Glory to the kingdom of Gravity Falls."

Later that night…

Dipper finally awoke from being unconscious only to find it was night now but also his feet and hands were bound to a wagon wheel. His mouth was gagged and he saw Candy was in the same situation but she was still knocked out.

Also, Dipper noticed that their weapons and armor was stripped from both of them. He figured that the bandits planned on using or selling their gear. Regardless, Dipper wanted to know what led Mark to betray his family and why he's leading a band of bandits. He always knew there was bad blood between his father and Mark but as long as his father paid him, Mark and his men would defend the village without question. Then, it finally dawned on Dipper…

"What if Dad wasn't able to pay him before because of the tribute that had been reduced? Dad said money was tight after Mom died and had to make cuts in our budget. But even still, why is Mark kidnapping me? He said something about a bargaining chip to my father. Does that mean he thinks Dad is hiding some money or something? Regardless, I need to get out of this mess and get Candy to safety." Dipper thought as he looked around again.

Suddenly his hands found a nail on the wagon wheel that was sticking out a little. Obviously, the bandits didn't know about it. Otherwise, they would have taken care of it. Dipper saw this as an opportunity to escape. However, he knew to not do anything rash yet. He had to wait until at least most of the bandits were asleep. Once he got freed, he will untie Candy, find the teleporting scroll that Bovard gave them, and use it to escape the bandits. It would be a shame to leave without the Wolfsbane since they were at the mountain now, but Candy's safety took priority.

A few hours passed. Members of the bandit group kept checking on Dipper and Candy to make sure they were asleep. However, only Dipper was the one who was faking it. One by one the bandits went to sleep. Dipper was ready to start cutting his rope binds with the nail on the wagon wheel but then he heard a low voice…

"Hear me." The voice said.

Dipper looked around to where the voice was coming from but didn't know where it was. He then saw something glowing green from within one of bandits' bag. Dipper was curious but right now had to focus on escaping. He used the nail to cut away at the rope bind until it finally snapped and he was free. Undoing the rest of the binds, Dipper went over to Candy. He woke her up but told her she had to be quiet while he helped her out of her restraints as well.

Dipper then instructed Candy to help carefully search the bandits' belongings to find their gear and the magic teleporting scroll while they slept. She agreed and each split up to search.

Most of their gear was found but the scroll was still nowhere to be found except from the one bag Dipper was hesitant to go through because of the weird glowing and voice only he could hear…

"I'm going to check this last bag. Go towards the west of the mountain, I will find you once I have the scroll." Dipper whispered and Candy nodded in agreement.

Once Candy was out of sight, Dipper carefully walked towards the bag that was glowing green. The reason why he was extra careful was because the bag was also near Mark Douglas. If Dipper was too loud, he might wake Mark and it will be all over for him.

Dipper slowly reached down, then grabbed the bag and backed away from Mark. He then went behind the wagon and opened up the bag. Sure enough, the scroll was in there. However, it was next to a giant green plate which was the source of the glowing. Once Dipper touched it, he heard the voice from earlier but more clearly…

"Thank you." The voice said within Dipper's head.

"What's going on?!" Dipper nearly shouted as he panicked.

"Calm yourself. Use only your thoughts to commune with me." The mysterious voice instructed.

"Who are you?" Dipper asked in his head.

"I'm the last remnant of the great green dragon of the north. My soul resides in my last scale which you have touched." The voice said.

"D-Dragon?! How is this possible?" Dipper thought.

"Nearly a hundred years ago I was slayed. All my parts were used over the years and the energy from my body was all but spent. My last scale which held the last of my power was discovered by these men during their travels. However, none knew how to access my power from the scale because none of them had magic within their blood." The dragon explained.

"…So, what does this mean for me?" Dipper asked.

"I used the magic from the scroll within the bag to converse with you. But if I don't find another source of magic to use, my soul will fade in time. I ask of you to live within your body. The last of my power will be yours to use as long as you are alive." The dragon proposed.

Dipper waited a moment to decide. Something as powerful as a dragon was willing to give Dipper the last of his power in order to survive within Dipper's body. On one hand he would be rewarded with power that he never had before…but the downside is he wouldn't know what this power would turn him into…

"…Very well. I accept." Dipper finally said.

"Thank you young man. Now, place my scale on your heart…and say my name." The dragon said.

"What's your name?" Dipper asked and the dragon told him…

Suddenly, Mark woke up and saw Dipper by the bag on the other side of the wagon. Enraged, he yelled for the other bandits to wake up.

"Wake up damn it! They've escaped!" Mark shouted as he went for his sword and the other bandits did the same with their weapons.

However, right before they all reached Dipper in their charge…

"Fulwin." Dipper said calmly and rush of energy surged around Dipper, pushing all the bandits with great force.

"What the hell!" One bandit shouted.

"Damn brat! He got ahold of the dragon scale we found! I should have known he had magic in his blood like his sister. Now the dragon's power is his! Kill him now before he uses it!" Mark shouted and the bandits charged once again.

Dipper then turned and faced the bandits running towards him. With one wave of his sword, Dipper sent a powerful blade of wind which cut down all the bandits except Mark. He was too afraid now to even run but Dipper walked towards him with the intent to kill...

"P-Please! Spare me! I beg for your forgiveness!" Mark begged as he fell to his knees after dropping his sword.

"You threaten my family, tried to kidnap and sell my friend, and now you want me to forgive you?!" Dipper shouted.

"I-I know, I had ill intent. And I know after I attacked your village, your family sees me as a threat. But please don't do this! I will leave the Pines family alone from this day forth!" Mark begged but accidently revealed something he shouldn't…

"You attacked my village!" Dipper shouted in rage as new powerful wind blew Mark into the air.

"NO!" Mark screamed as was high in the air.

"Dipper!" Candy shouted which snapped him out of his anger.

Dipper's anger about finding out Mark not only left on bad terms with his father but also attacked his village in retaliation was overwhelming to say the least. However, Candy seeing the monster he was starting to become, just because he had power now, was sickening Dipper to his stomach. So, Dipper decided to calm down as he lowered the wind and made Mark land without any injuries…

"Listen Mark…Don't ever come after me, my village, or my family ever again! Understand?!" Dipper shouted.

"Y-YES! I promise!" Mark yelled in fear knowing he was out matched yet again.

"Good. Now go." Dipper simply said and Mark ran to one of the horses and rode off.

Dipper just stood in place with his head hung low knowing not only that he gained a powerful ability from the dragon scale but also that it was highly dangerous. Especially after he witnessed what he had done to the rest of the bandits. He knew that this was something he would need to control in the future so that he wouldn't be so destructive again. Because next time, if he wasn't careful, he could hurt someone he cared for…

"Dipper…What happened?" Candy inquired.

"There was a dragon scale in the bag where the teleporting scroll was. The scale talked with me and instructed me to take its power within me… Now, I have a wind dragon's soul fused with mine." Dipper explained.

"…I see. So…this is the power of a…wind dragon." Candy said as she paused at the sight of the mangled bodies Dipper's new power caused.

"Yes. But I discovered that the scroll doesn't have any more magic to use. I think the scale, that rested next to the scroll in the bag, took the magic within the scroll to communicate with me." Dipper said.

"So, what should we do?" Candy asked.

"We have no choice but to travel back instead of using the scroll. Luckily, there are a few horses left we can use. Being taken here almost saved us a day's worth of walking. Now, we have all day tomorrow to find the Wolfsbane." Dipper said.

"So…we should camp for tonight then…" Candy said as she started getting thoughts while blushing but quickly disregard them knowing that wouldn't be appropriate.

"Yeah, but we should take care of the mess beforehand…" Dipper suggested as he returned his sights to the dead bodies of the bandits.

Dipper then used his new ability to control the wind once more. He then lifted all the dead bodies and piled them up far from the camp. Candy followed with a torch she made from the bandit's campfire. Dipper grabbed the torch then used his wind to strengthen the flame to quickly consume the dead bandits. Candy and Dipper then made their trek back to the camp they took from the bandits for the night…

The next morning…

Mabel couldn't sleep last night because her excitement was hard to contain. She couldn't believe that this place existed. Before, she was anxious about being a knight's squire like Dipper but now she's completely in love with the idea about being a mage…

"Morning Call!" Mabel heard from outside her dorm room.

She was told by both Headmaster Waddles and Mermando that the dorm housing had their own rules. She was instructed by her dorm's head mother, that there were three rules to obey by…

One: No boys allowed in the female dorm building. For obvious reasons, they weren't allowed at the boys' dorms neither.

Two: Obey the dorm schedule. Which mainly contained when to wake up, when to leave for classes, and when to return for curfew. If a student has not returned for curfew, they would have to seek other lodging until tomorrow. Not returning isn't punishable but having a dorm to sleep in is convenient so Mabel thought it would be wise to obey the curfew for now.

Lastly Three: Be respectful to your fellow dormmates and to your living quarters. If the hint of bullying or laziness to maintain clean rooms wasn't met, they would receive a demerit. After three demerits, the student is expelled from the Magic Academy…along with their memory wiped…

"I have to make a good impression today." Mabel said to herself as she quickly got changed into her new academy uniform.

Mabel was also given a magical bag no bigger than coin purse. This bag would hold items up to twice her body weight. However, it's not meant to hold a person or any living creature. Doing so, might kill them because of the magic stored inside. Mabel then grabbed her spell book, school schedule, and money pouch which had a little money for meals. However, she was told that in order obtain more money, Mabel would have to work for it.

Thankfully, after the approval of at least one professor, she can easily obtain an adventurer's card. Taking adventuring quests is subjective when it comes to pay. However, depending on your rank at the adventurer's guild, you can live off the rewards that come with curtain quests. But for now, Mabel needs to focus on her studies. She isn't broke yet, so her money she brought with her from Piedmont should keep her fed for at least a week…

Mabel then left the dorm room and started walking towards the building used for a dining hall or, what the magic academy calls, a cafeteria…

"This place is so strange…But intriguing. It's weird how time flows differently here. But according to the dorm mother, people approaching or being near others with high mana flow makes time go a little faster. That might explain why it didn't take me so long to reach this place when it took Dad almost a whole day to get here. It's all confusing though…but I guess I won't worry about it." Mabel thought.

When Mabel walked into the cafeteria, she heard squealing and cheering from the end of the cafeteria. A large group of girls were surrounding a group of guys that seemed to be popular. All five of them had the same hair and eye color. Suddenly, a couple more girls pushed passed Mabel to get to them.

"Look! It's the bard band Sev'ral Timez!" One girl shouted in glee.

"Creggy G. is SO hot!" The other girl said.

Mabel couldn't care less as she made her way to the food counter of the cafeteria and got her food for breakfast. Once she got done eating at her table, she was about to get up and start heading to her first class. However, she overheard the crowd of obnoxious girl cheering once again from the other side of the cafeteria…

"See you girls later!" One band member, named Chubby Z said.

"If you're lucky, we might see you in class." Another member, named Greggy C said.

"Or maybe we can grab a drink some time." Another member, named Leggy P said.

"But be sure not to fight over us now." Another member, named Deep Chris said.

"Until next time and-" The last member, Creggy G began to say until he saw Mabel.

Before she knew it, all five members rushed up to Mabel with flirty and dreamy eyes…

"You're new here. How's it going cute stuff?" Creggy G asked.

"You sure you are real? Because you came out of my dreams baby." Deep Chris flirted.

"What's your name? I'm sure it's Angel, huh?" Chubby Z asked while blowing a kiss.

"Don't be shy. Talk with us." Leggy P said with a wink.

"Why don't we skip class today and hang out. Just the two of us." Greggy C offered while trying to touch Mabel's hand but she quickly retracted.

"Ugh! Guys! Look, I appreciate how…nice you all are. But I'm not interested." Mabel said as she got up from her table and left the cafeteria.

"GASP!" The Sev'ral Timez boys said in unison while girls behind them began to whisper gossip.

Mabel had no interest in a group of pushy guys that were smothering her like that. Yeah, she liked Mermando but he wasn't making advances like that. So, Mabel thought to cut it off with these five before they got the wrong idea. She really didn't come here to the Magic Academy for dating anyways. She had more important things to focus on as she opened up the door that led to her first class and her first step in becoming a mage…

Meanwhile, with Pacifica…

Pacifica woke up but she was in her chair next to Amanda's bedside. She stayed up as long as she could to be by Amanda's side to aid her as best as she could. From cleaning the wounds, to feeding Amanda, and taking care of her other needs. However, Pacifica was exhausted. This was her first time taking care of someone other than herself. It wasn't easy to say the least but now she knows how her maids felt back in the capital. Pacifica then got up and headed over to the window to let some fresh morning air in…

"I hope Dipper and Candy come back soon…" Pacifica said to herself as Dipper's smile flashed in her mind and she began to blush.

"No no no. Stop. I have no time to be thinking about him." Pacifica said as she shook her head in irritation.

"Sounds like someone is in love." Amanda weakly said behind her and Pacifica turned around in shock.

"Amanda! How are you feeling?!" Pacifica said with worry in her voice.

"I'm alright. Don't worry about me." Amanda said with a forced smile.

"Liar. Don't worry. Once Dipper and Candy come back with the wolfsbane, I will cure your werewolf wounds." Pacifica said as she began to tear up a little.

"Listen…" Amanda began to say as she placed her hand on Pacifica's hand.

"If they aren't back by the time I begin turning…I want you all to kill me." Amanda said with a little sterner voice.

"N-NO! I won't do that!" Pacifica shouted now fully crying.

"You have to Pacifica…I would never forgive myself if I hurt you or worse. I rather die than attack my friend." Amanda said as she placed her hand to Pacifica's face to wipe away a few tears.

"Don't you dare give up! We all will save you! Dipper will be back soon!" Pacifica said with confidence in her voice.

"Yup. I was right. You are in love with him." Amanda teased.

"Shut up!" Pacifica said with a mad blush but then both girls started laughing…

Meanwhile with Dipper and Candy…

Dipper and Candy decided to make good use of the bandit's wagon and stored the rest of the weapons, gear, and items within the wagon. They only took two of the horses to pull the wagon but sent the other horses free. Even with the horses, it would take them a better part of a day to reach the others back at the abandoned town. So just for today, they were going to search for the Wolfsbane…

"Dipper, we've been traveling around the mountain for an hour with no plant that looks like the wolfsbane in sight. You sure Princess Pacifica was correct in its description?" Candy asked.

"I believe so. She's been hard at work learning everything she could about potions and cures for years. Whoever taught her must have known what they were doing because she's been very helpful with her knowledge on plants and herbs. We wouldn't even have known what to do if she wasn't around to help." Dipper said with a smile which hurt Candy's feelings a little knowing how much Dipper admired her.

Suddenly, the two saw a large cave in the mountainside and decided to stop the wagon…

"Do you think the Wolfsbane could be in there?" Candy asked nervously.

"…I'm not sure but I think we should check it out." Dipper said as he got out of the wagon and Candy followed.

"We don't know what's in there." Candy said.

"Yeah…but we still have to go in." Dipper said as he began his advance into the cave with Candy in tow.

However, little the two would know, what dangers lay within the cave…

TO BE CONTINUED….
