--Mabel's POV--

We followed Maxwell into a little cave. It got dark really fast and we slowed down a bit to keep from running into anything.

"Dipper, turn on a flashlight." I said, swerving away from a stalagmite. I heard Dipper fumbling with his pockets, and a flicker of light appeared and disappeared with a gunshot.

"NO LIGHT!" Maxwell bellowed, blowing smoke from his gun. "Or I'll shoot at something other than a flashlight. Like whoever's holding it. That sounds good." I took a little step back and heard Dipper shuffle his feet as well.

"How'll we see?" Dipper said, "if you want us to follow you, don't you want us to see?"

"... Fine." He began to glow again, "There. Follow." He began to float away again. The light made it so I saw less then I could before, not including Maxwell's silhouette, but I ran after him anyways. I could heard Dipper running next to me. I made the mistake of looking next to me to try to see him, and I ran right into the cavern wall. I collapsed and it took me a bit to stand back up.

"Ouch..." I said, standing back up and seeing that Maxwell was actually waiting for me.

"You coming?"

"Yeah... Thanks for waiting..."

"Pfft! Don't thank me kid. When Weirdmaggetion rolls around, I have dibs on killing you." He said, messing with his gun.

"Oh..." I mumbled, "that puts a damper on things..."

"Just follow me." He said, floating away again. I began running after him again, this time the tunnels felt quieter. We went on a bit, through several different caverns, each one more narrow than the last. Soon I pretty much had to crawl through one.

"Where are we going?!" I asked as the room opened up so I could run again.

"To your Grunkle- things." He replied, looking ahead.

 "No way they could fit through that tunnel... I could barely fit." I said, looking back.

"Alright', you got me. I jus' want some fun with the ghost guys. They feel responsible about you two right now... I mean, at least Toast does. But it's not his fault your stuck here now." The tunnel behind me closed. "It's yours." 

"Where's Dipper?!"

"Eh... Somewhere. He didn't see you run into the wall, so he kept going. Down a different tunnel."

"How did I not notice sooner?!" I began freaking out, looking for a way out, "I'm a horrible sister!"

"You could be worse. You could be my cousin, Papa. I mean, it's his fault I'm dead..."

"What do you mean?" I said, searching the nearby walls.

He thought about it, "well, because he left me for dead while we were robbing a bank. I... I asked for all th' money, thinking it would work... An'... Papa waited for me... Th' bank teller led me to the back and..." He paused, "it... It was bad... But... Papa, he knew the entire time what was going on. HE LEFT ME TO DIE. And he didn't CARE whether or not I was dead or if th' bank teller killed me, he just grabbed a person off the streets and replaced me like that!" He punched a nearby cavern wall. "He didn't care. We were KIN nd he didn't care. So why should I care about him or HIS kin?!"

"I never said you had to." I sat down. "Is it just me or is it getting stuffy in here?"

"Oh... Right... Uh, Mabel, I like you a lot compared to most people,"

"Thank you." I smiled.

"But your trapped down here with no oxygen source... So..."

"WHAT?!" I cried out, "But I thought we were friends?"

"I guess we more or less are, considering I just told you my death story... I don' really know how friendship works though so..." He shrugged, "Imma keep following my original plan, mmkay?" I began to hyperventilate, "Whoa, partner, this may be a win/win for me, but I don't think YOU'D like it if you died or oxygen loss." When I continued to hyperventilate, he waved his arm and I suddenly got really drowsy.

"See you when you wake up. Or when you die..." He shrugged again, "I don' really know which'll come first."

"Are you still going to kill me?" I said, drowsily.

"During Weirdmageddion? Shoot... From all the talking we just had I might' as well jus' possess you during then... I think Bill will allow that." He nodded. "Jus' sleep now, okay? You'll use less oxygen and I don't want to inhabit a corpse." I fell over and closed my eyes, the last thing I heard was Maxwell's small chuckling and my blood rushing to my head.

--Maddie's POV--

I tackled Billy as he re spawned on the front porch, smiling. "Sue said you were coming!! SIGN MY SHIRT BILLY!"

"NOOO, MADDIE I NEED TO TELL MAMA SOMETHING! MABEL AND DIPPER ARE ENDANGERED!" He yelled, kicking his legs and waving his arms. He's so cute when he squirms!

"What? What's wrong?" Ms. Gertrude asked, stepping outside of the house. "Billy is something wrong."

"YES MADDIE'S ON ME GET HER OFFFFF!" He moaned.

"I'll get off if you sign my shirt, Billy!" I said, leaning in closer to his face. "Or marry me!"

"NO GET OFF!" He said, standing up. I rolled off him, moaning the whole way, "but Mama! Maxwell's here an' Dipper and Mabel are following him to somewhere I don't really know, Maddie get off," he pushed me off, "But I was with Sue for most of the time! Maybe he remembers what part of the woods we were in!" I jumped on him again. "MADDIE, STOP!"

"But I love youuu!" I moaned as he shrugged me off again.

"Mabel and Dipper could be endangered!"

"You mean in danger? Ms. Gertrude asked by the door, looking antsy.

"TOMATO, SPAGHETTI!" He shouted, waving his arms, "Mama! We need save them! Maxwell might think their Acachallas and be killing them!

She nodded, "ACACHALLA! GET SUE! WE'RE ON A RESCUE MISSION!"

"IT'S SUMMER. I DON' DO RESCUE MISSIONS IN THE SUMMER!" He shouted from his room.

"Maxwell's our target to kill!" She yelled up. "If you come with us you can attack him!"

"I'LL BE DOWN IN A MINUTE!" He shouted, with a bunch of loud, thumping noises from his room.

I ran to the tree house Sally was building with Billy, "Sally! We need Freddie! Our waffle partner and her brother depend on it!" She practically flew down at the word waffle.

"Yayyyy!!! WAFFLEZ!" She shouted, running to Freddie's cage.

Soon, the Acachalla's (and me) were charging through the woods, screaming at the top of their lungs (Apart from Spencer, who just followed because Ms. Gertrude threatened to break the wifi tower) We're coming Mabel and Dipper!!!! (After I tackle Billy.)

--Dipper's POV-- 

The compass wasn't helping much, but the tunnel only went one way. Maxwell continued to glow and lead me down deeper. I could still hear Mabel's footsteps... I think, but she hasn't said a word this whole time. Granted, neither have I, but this is unlike her. "Maybe she's just anxious," I figured in my head, "or maybe she thinks that the quieter she is, the faster Maxwell will lead us."

"Yeah...  That must be it."

--Ghost's POV (A little before the Pines twins were separated--

Johnny and I followed the dot, despite it's showing of being underground. We(he) had to use a map to find where the cave's mouth was, and now we were on our way! 

"Johnny, are we there yet?" I said, looking to the sky a bit, smiling, "Because I want to know how much longer we'll have without a couple kids yapping at our heels."

"You sound like Papa." He chuckled, looking back at the device, "the mouth is on top of this hill."

"Great." I mumbled, "well, we're alone right now, so... What do you think Maxwell's up to?" I asked, poking his forehead.

"Me? I just think he's bored, sir. He does have some... Interesting hobbies."

"Yeah, like shooting us." I said. "Do you think it's a trap?"

"Maybe, sir... I don't really know..." Why is he asking so weirdly? He's been like this since this morning. Saying a bit to me, then pausing for a long while, as if talking to someone in his mind.

"Toast, your beginning to scare me. How about you actually try to talk to me, or I'll smother you in whipped cream while you sleep." I said, "I bought a few containers for that very purpose."

"... Sorry sir." He smiled, "I've just... Got a lot on my mind. You know, from this Bill thing."

"Eh, we haven't seen him since the 'accident'," I told him, "Maybe he's leaving us alone." He mumbled something that sounded like 'if only'. "What was that?" 

"Nothing, sir!" He almost yelped, "I'm sorry... Again. It's just been awhile since we've had a demon after us. Spooker's cat doesn't count, it lives in the Toasted Ghost's kitchen, it'd be weird to count it in..."

"Plus it doesn't want to kill us... Otherwise our food would be poisoned 24/7." I said, poking around a weird looking tree.

"In my opinion, it is when you cook."

"... When we get back, your getting the spatula." I said, chuckling. "I'm not that bad of a cook."

Toast smiled a bit, "right. It's not like the last thing you made grew legs and walked away... Oh, wait!"

"IT WAS POSSESSED!" I promised him, loudly, "There is NO WAY that came from MY baking skills."

"No, sir, I was saying wait, the mouth of the cave is right here!" He pointed to a hole in the hill slope. I blushed a bit and followed him in.

"WOW this place is dark." I said, letting my flashlight flicker on, "are you sure they came in here?"

"Positive, sir. Listen." I fell silent and I could here two sets of feet. One sounded farther away than the other. We followed the sound, but it wasn't hard since the tunnel was one-way. We went along for awhile before reaching a fork in the road. the tunnel narrowed around the the spot where we were facing, and to the far left, almost behind us, was a wide- mouthed gap to lead into another tunnel.

Both holes had footprints leading into them from all the soft dirt.

"What happened here?" I said, looking at the ground. One set of feet went into the narrow hole, while the other ran into a wall, and by it was a butt print, then the foot prints went to the wider tunnel. "It... Looks like..."

"They were separated." Toast finished, wide eyed, "Maxwell must've done something to make it so that he could lead both of them at once without them knowing."

I threw Toast my flashlight and fished out another from my back, "looks like we'll have to do the same." I let that one flash on and began going to the wider hole. 

"Are you sure about that sir?" Toast asked, looking into the narrower hole.

"I know how antsy you are about splitting up, but if you want to save these kids, as in both these kids, we'll have to split up." He looked back to the small hole.

"Sir, you know I have claustriphoppptttt..."

"Just do it." I said, my voice echoing as I went down into the bigger hole.

"Alright, sir..." He replied, and I heard him slip into the smaller hole.

This was going to be easy.

--Casket POV--

"I THOUGHT YOU SAID A BIT LONGER, BILLY BILL!" I shrieked into the vast weirdness of his 'place', I had colored some of the deer teeth to look like me, Toast, Bill and my enemies. I even used knifey to make Bill's tooth triangular.

"BILL!" I shouted again. "Well crap. BILLLLL! WHAT ARE YOU UP TO?!"

He appeared in a flash of light, "What do you WANT?!"

"My body back." He waited for a second.

"Nah. A bit longer."

"HOW MUCH LONGER?!" I asked, running up to the bars, "I'm bored bored BOOOORREED!!"

"SO AM I! TOAST IS SO BORING!"

There was a pause.

"What're you doing in Toaster's head?" I snickered, "I thought you were hanging in Ghost-man? I thought that was the reason I wasn't allowed to stab... STabby STAB STAB!" I cackled harder, "I swear I'm going crazier than usual! KINFEY SAYS HI HI!" I chucked Knifey at him, blade first. He teleported away from it.

"Just a bit longer, okay?"

I pouted a bit, "FIIIIINE." I waited for him to leave, "but as soon as I'm out, I'm going to kill you, and ANYTHING that gets in my way." Knifey appeared back in my pocket. "Stab stab stab!" I said, beginning to stab all the teeth, even the one representing me.

Man, it was good to be me.

NOW WHO WNATS TO KNOW A SECRET?!
