Dipper shook awake, the bus had come to a stop, his sister's exited screaming gave away where they where...They where home, after a long summer full of mystery and excitement, they where back where they started... He already missed the woods he spent days and nights hiking through, finding monsters in, which he usually ended up helping them. Only running on certain occasions.

" Hey Bro-bro! Come say hi!" His sister yelled, her voice jerking him out of his thoughts.

"The bus is gonna leave soon, and i don't think you would enjoy jumping out the window!" Dipper stood up, grabbing his heavy bag and heaving it onto his back with a grunt. He stepped off the bus and forced a smile to greet his mother. His dad had left when he was 3, it was just them now. Instead of a normal welcome, his mom, Allesia (or Al in some cases) hugged him tightly.

"I heard about what happened..." She said, her voice filled with grief."But I wasn't sure what to believe..."

Dipper frowned, "Yea...We've had...What you would call a strange summer..." He forced out the words, remembering the one eyed triangle that had possessed, and almost killed him on multiple occasions.'He's gone now...' He reminded himself.'He's NEVER coming back..'

Mable quickly added, "Mom, he's been through a lot... I think he needs some time to rethink this summer..." She said shakily. Then she smiled.

"And a nap, he's barely got any sleep all summer!" His mother held him for a few more seconds, then stood up.

"A-Alright then ,come on kids..Lets go home..." Her hands were shaking,' She's probably trying to brush off the fact that we almost DIED this summer...' he thought feeling guilty. She smiled pushing everything away, "Don't think your gonna get off that easy." She looked at them. "You've got a lot of explaining to do."

"Mom, we're here now that's all that matters-" He stopped looking at a small centaur who was strolling around like it was no big deal...Actually, now everything seemed different from when he left...He looked to the sky, and saw a small girl on a broomstick. Accompanying her was a cat with yellow eyes, glaring at him.

He turned around, confused and frightened. "Mom! Wh-What happened while we were gone?" She looked back at him, "Oh-I thought you knew!" She ran her fingers through her copper hair. Dipper faintly recalled some grown-ups at the air port talking about wizards wands, or something like that.." For afew days monsters just started, well...Showing up..." "We were scared and confused at first.." She quickly added. "But... I think life's defiantly got more interesting since then..."Mable sprang up "What kind of things changed?" She asked eyes glowing."Well, lets just say you'll be taking some...New...Classes this year, not all monsters are friendly you know.." She grabbed their hands, "Come'on you two! We're wasting time, we gotta get home, It's not summer anymore.." 'Like that would make a difference ,it's been about 4 days...' He thought, embarrassed that they were holding hands. But he was happy to be home with her, she had been alone all summer.

"Your right, as always." He smiled.
