--Dipper's POV--

"So, Toast is growing an extra arm..." I shuddered, "I hope he patched up enough of that radiation. This is nothing like how Gravity Falls was last year..." 

"Don't say that Dipper! We haven't been to town yet! Grunkle Stan and Grunkle Ford is coming in any moment now, so we just have to wait a bit, and the Johnnys'll leave us alone and we can have an awesome summer with our grunkles." Mabel patted my back.

"Yeah, I guess your right... But what about the threat letter?" I dropped my voice to a whisper. If anyone overheard, we could be dead. "It sounded serious. Do you think Ghost wrote it?"

Mabel shook her head, "he can't read."

"But that doesn't mean he can't write. He could just have a hard time seeing words and still know how to write."

"Well it didn't look like Toast's handwriting..."

"Hey, watcha dudes talking about?" Suess' head poked up and Mabel threw out an excuse.

"When we think our Grunkles will come! I think within the hour."

"And I think by tomorrow."

"I think maybe somewhere in the middle." Suess suggested.

The Johnnys looked interested, though they really shouldn't have been, "Well, unless their traveling with the Acachallas, they should be here according to Suess." Toast said.

"BUT knowing the Acachalla's they'll be here in a few minutes." He got a strange look, "they can break logic to do their will. It's horrifying."

Mabel and I nodded, Suess looked a little excited, "So where are they coming in from?"

"Most likely this entrance. And they'll be coming in with a bang, so we need to get the car working. Mister Suess, are you almost done?" Toast asked. Ghost was watching the road.

"Yup! Just about." Toast nodded and picked up a garbage bag that was glowing purple.

"Know any safe place to dispose of this?" Ghost asked, gesturing to the bag.

"The bottomless pit," Mabel and I said without much hesitation, and we received some weird looks from the PIE team.

"People can go down without much problem, 'cause they come right back up, but objects just kinda fall forever." I said, "unless it has organic matter in it, it should be gone forever."

"Yeah, let's go use that." Ghost said, snatching the bag from Toast. "Lets go!"

(Le Time skip, after dumping the radioactive bag)

Whelp. That's gone forever. Ghost was finishing the removal of Toast's extra arm, and Toast was calmly reading a book like this had happened before. Mabel was just watching them so I went over and sat next to her on the porch couch.

"Still have a crush on him?"

"He's so calm and polite! You really think I wouldn't?"

"He used to be a werewolf, you know."

"I can live with that! Being a vampire would be better though. Their so romantic." She smiled a bit. I really hope that this phase blows over soon. It was nice to meet some real life Ghost Hunters, but Ghost was weird and kind of a jerk sometimes and Toast... It's hard to like a guy once you've seen their corpse. I can't wait for Grunkle Ford to let them leave, it shouldn't take long. Ghost had just finished patching up Toast when a bunch of yelling came from where Suess was. They jumped up and began to run there while Mabel and I followed, the entire times they were shouting to each other.

"What do you think it is, sir?!"

"Suess probably got in that stash of macaroni you hid in the glove box!"

"I moved it to our campsite, sir! It was the fuel for the fire!"

"WHY WOULD YOU BURN THAT STUFF?! YOU KNOW IT'S PRETTY MUCH TOXIC!"

They kept bickering about it until we burst in the clearing and saw a flipped minivan with a swarm of people around it, two giant velociraptors and a motorcycle. There was a fat bald man in a navy blue jacket and bright red sneakers. He held a shotgun in his hands and was yelling at a black haired guy with a medic uniform on. He was trying to remove a girl with almond brown hair from his back. She was wearing a light green shirt with the words "I love Billy" on it. To their right were a couple of people with ginger hair. One of them looked thirteen-fourteen and had a blue baseball cap, glasses and a sweater vest on. He was yelling at the older person who held her hair in a loose bun and wore a green sweater wth sleeves that went down to her elbows. She had a crowbar in her hand and the kid had what looked like a plasma blaster or something. Another guy with a ski mask over his face was watching nearby. He had a bright purple shirt and ribbons littering both on his ams. He held a gun in his hands and was casually talking to a girl with chocolate brown hair an a light brown skin. Her hair was held in a ponytail and she was wearing a purple jacket with a white shirt under it. Maybe they were dating? I was so confused by the situation that I failed it notice Grunkle Stan and Grunkle Ford standing by the PIE van talking to Suess, who kept looking back to the wreck. Ghost groaned and Toast just cringed at the situation.

"What the heck?" Mabel asked, looking at the chaos. No one had noticed us yet, fortunately. "What is this?"

"The Acachallas..." Toast sighed angrily, "Looks like they brought Spencer and Sue. It's a wonder they didn't bring that alien from their garage."

"THESE are the Acachallas? I was expecting birdmen with a craving for human flesh." I said, looking at them curiously.

"Those would be better." Toast mumbled. Ghost instantly disagreed with Toast.

"Who are those guys?" Ghost asked, pointing to Stan and Ford.

Mabel and I looked to where he was pointing and Mabel took a running start to Grunckle Stan and tackled him in a hug, then she instantly moved to Grunkle Ford. "Oh my gosh. It's our Grunckles!" I said, smiling widely and joining Mabel in the hugs. Toast was smiling and Ghost looked uncomfortable but I didn't care. "Ford's going to send them home and everything will be 'normal' again!" I thought

I was wrong.

--??? POV--

I jus' wanted to haunt the Acachallas. Getting stuck in this two-bit town wasn't worth it. I was banging on the field keeping me in. None o' this was worth it I hate being trapped. I tried my flintlock. Still didn't work. Nothing was working, not even teleportation! I groaned and made my gun disappear. The screaming at stopped and was replaced by the Acachallas' stupid voices. Ugh. I prefer the screaming. I was about four hundred feet up and invisible, so they couldn't see me, but I was tempted to go down there and shoot every single one of those Acachallas in the face.

"I swear, this is the worst thing that has ever happened to me." I thought about it a bit, "second worst." I sighed to myself, "I gotta find a place t' reside if I'm gonna be stuck here." Maybe one of the bigger houses? I could steal some stuff and sell it at a pawn shop before anyone would notice what I was doing... That'd be fun. "Yeah, might as well." I stretched a bit, "That one looks pretty big, Imma live there. Oh, I hope the poor fool notices me!"

I looked back to the invisible force field, "I'll deal with you later." I said before I teleported to the Northwest Manor (now McGucket Manor I guess?) to prepare my plotting. If I was gonna be stuck here, I might as well have fun.

-- Gertrude's POV--

Spencer and I were yelling at each other. After the crash my crowbar went missing and I found it in his hand! I don't know why he would take it, but he kept saying her respwaned with it. Likely story.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and I spun around quickly. In front of me was Johnny Ghost, he looked annoyed at something... I wonder what? Toast was busy talking to Sally and Sue, so I figure this was Ghost's attempt at small talk. "Oh! Hi, hon, how ya doin'?" I asked, smiling to him, ignoring Spencer's mumbles.

"Pretty good, Gertrude, it's just what are you doing?!"

"Oh, Acachalla flipped the minivan that we stole. Almost all of us died. Those guys we picked up were lucky they kept riding Freddie and Freddio, I don't think they can respawn, Mr. Ghost."

He waved his hand, "Yeah, we know some people like that as well. Try not to nuke the place, please."

"Alright!" I looked over to Stanley and Stanford, and saw they were hugging some kids! "Aw, do they have kids?"

"No, their the kids 'Gr-en-klys I think... Gre-ukle? I don't know I wasn't listening. I just know they know each other and might be related."

"Do you think we can adopt them?"

"The old guys?" Ghost looked confused.

"The KIDS. We got enough old guys in the house."

"If they want to be adopted, yeah I guess." Ghost shrugged, "I don't know how adoption works. I can't read the paper."

"Perfect! Acachalla, how do you feel about having more kids?"

"NO," he replied, glaring at me.

"Okay then, I'll do it!" I marched over to them, smiling. I tapped the one with longer hair on the shoulder. She was smiling so much, I loved it. She'd get along great with Sally! "Hello! I'm Mama Gertrude!"

"Nice to meet you Gertrude!" she replied, shaking my hand. The boy was watching me with much concern, "I'm Mabel, and that's my overlycautious twin brother, Dipper!" I smiled to Dipper and stuck my hand out for a handshake and he slowly shook my hand as well. Great. We got a logical one.

I kept the smile on my face, "so do you guys have parents?"

"Yeah, we do. Why are you asking?" Dipper looked a little aggressive. Darn their parents, they'd make great Acachallas.

"No reason, sorry." They looked confused, "actually, do you want to be adopted?"

"No! We like our parents!" Mabel's smile faltered. Oh no, did I upset them? They usually say yes! Sue did at least...

"Sorry! I didn't mean to upset you, hon!" I began fiddling with my crowbar. What do I do?! I like these kids, their sweet, and I can imagine them killing people with us during family night out... We lost a good chance for a couple more Acachallas... I guess it happens though... "It's just a question." I gestured to the kids behind me, "only a couple of them weren't actually adopted, and all of them together's not even a fourth of the people I've adopted. It's just the kids Acachalla likes most."

"Yay! Papa likes me most!" Billy shouted, smiling. Papa growled to himself about it.

"Okay?" Dipper had a salty expression on his face. Man we really did lose a good chance for an Acachalla... "Nice meeting you Gertrude."

I nodded and walked back to Sally, "Mama Gertrude! Am I gonna get a new sister!?"

"No... They have parents..."

"Doesn't Sue have a Papa that isn't Papa?"

"Yes, but they LIKE their parents." I sighed, "Shame, I think we lost a good chance for additions to the Acachalla family."

"Oh well, it happens, Mama." She patted my back, "It doesn't mean we can't see them often though!" 

"Your right!" I smiled to Sally, "I'll try to set up a playdate! You and Sue with the girl, Spencer and Billy with the boy. It'll be great!"

"YAY! Will we get wafflez?"

"Of course, sweetie."

"YAY! I CAN'T WAIT!" She spun around in circles with joy and went to sing about it to Freddio. I looked back to Mabel and Dipper. They may not be Acachallas, but we will treat them like family.  (Though honestly, who don't we?) And we'll have to fix that issue of not coming back from the dead... That'll take some work and a lotta time around Billy. This summer was going to be perfect. I went to tell the others my plan, glancing back to see Dipper looking at me with a weird look on my face.

What was his problem?

We're not that weird.
