As Dipper and Mabel boarded the bus, bidding farewell to their parents, a sense of unease settled over Dipper. The nearly vacant bus added to his growing discomfort. The atmosphere was filled with an eerie stillness, leaving him on edge.

But he shrugged it off, ignoring his gut instincts.

It took 'em a couple of hours, and while Mabel caught some Z's, Dipper was peepin' out the window. Out of nowhere, he spots this dude in a fancy suit. He blinks twice, and just like that, the guy vanishes. Dipper couldn't shake the feeling that somethin' was off.

Dipper and Mabel stepped off the bus, but it didn't take long for them to realize that Soos was nowhere in sight. They couldn't even catch a glimpse of the Mystery Shack!

Mabel: "Dipper, this place doesn't feel like good ol' Oregon. The vibes are giving me major creeps."

Dipper tried to reassure her, saying, "Don't sweat it, Mabel. I'm pretty sure we're still in Oregon. It's just that things might have changed a bit since the last summer."

Dipper and Mabel searched high and low, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Mystery Shack. But all Dipper could come across were flyers about missing folks.

Dipper's eyes widened as he finally spotted a sign that read "Welcome to Rosswood." His hands started trembling, and he muttered, "No, it can't be." Mabel, seeing his reaction, grew confused and asked, "What's wrong, Dip?"

Dipper: "Mabel, we messed up and got off at the wrong stop!" Dipper exclaimed, his voice filled with panic.

Mabel yelled out "what!.... Then where are we?" Dipper, still trembling with panic, replied, "Mabel, I think we're in a place called Rosswood. I can't believe this!"

Mabel: "Why are you scared is this a bad place? Are we going to get hurt?" Dipper, trying to calm Mabel's worries, responded, "Not gonna lie, Mabel, this place has a dark history. Disappearances, murders, and other intense stuff. We need to be careful and stay on guard."

Mabel was speechless, Dipper, gripping his flashlight tightly, replied, "Yeah, Mabel, I've heard some seriously scary stories about Rosswood. Some of them even involve arson. We need to stay cautious and stick together."

They find a piece of paper saying "welcome to my game" Dipper and Mabel, their hearts pounding, turned around to find that the abandoned houses, the messed up playground, and the scratch boards had vanished. Confused, Dipper exclaimed, "Whoa, Mabel! Everything just disappeared! This is getting creepier by the minute."

Mabel said "Dipper if this is our last time together I just want to say... I love you and I hope we will not get turned into human bologna"

Dipper, touched by Mabel's words, replied with a mix of seriousness and a hint of humor, "Mabel, you know I love you too, and don't worry, we'll make it out of here in one piece. No human bologna for us, I promise!"

As Dipper and Mabel venture deeper into the woods, the atmosphere becomes incredibly eerie. The silence is broken only by the sound of crickets chirping and the occasional caw of crows. The running water adds a haunting touch to the scene. It's as if nature itself is whispering secrets to them.

It's getting late, and with only a few snacks in their bags, they'll need to conserve their energy for the challenges ahead. The darkness of the woods and the dwindling supplies add to the sense of urgency and vulnerability.

Dipper hears a crack behind him and turns around, only to realize it was just a branch he stepped on. At that moment, he feels a sense of relief and silently thanks the heavens that they'll survive this eerie nightmare.

As Dipper and Mabel discover another page, they open it to find the cryptic message, "he could see, but he has no eyes." Dipper can't help but wonder who this mysterious "he" could be.

Dipper's mind starts racing, questioning if this "he" could possibly be referring to Bill Cipher. He can't believe they actually defeated him last summer. The mystery of who this "he" is becomes even more intriguing. But before he can delve deeper into his thoughts, Mabel interrupts him, tugging at his shirt.

"Dipper: Mabel, I don't really have time for your non..." They both notice a tall man in a suit, the same kind they saw on the bus, staring them down. Mabel points at him, indicating that she sees him too.

"Mabel: At the count of three, we're running! One... two..." Both Dipper and Mabel spring into action, swiftly escaping from the clutches of that hideous guy.

Dipper, startled by the encounter, can't help but exclaim, "What in the universe was that?!" Meanwhile, Mabel, feeling overwhelmed, starts to tear up and responds, "I don't... know."

Dipper quickly hushes Mabel as they both start hearing radio or TV static. The eerie sound fills the air, adding another layer of mystery to their already intense situation.

Dipper looks up and sees this strange, faceless man in a suit, desperately searching for them. His hands start trembling, and he can feel his whole body shaking. The only sounds they hear are the eerie static, the chirping of crickets, and the running water.

Dipper rummages through his bag, desperately searching for any clues or information about the faceless man. However, all he finds are snacks, water, and flyers of missing people they've collected. He tries to match the man's appearance with the pictures on the flyers, but unfortunately, there's no connection.

So, Mabel and Dipper come out of their hiding spot, and as they venture deeper into the woods, they stumble upon a guy. They try to approach him, but he completely ignores them, as if they're some kind of ghosts.

Dipper starts to wonder if they might have died during the encounter. But wait, if they were dead, how could Dipper fully rummage through his bag and find the page? It doesn't quite add up. As they continue through the woods, they stumble upon another page, this time covered in multiple repetitions of the word "no" on both sides.

Dipper and Mabel hear the eerie sound of radio or TV static again. They quickly climb up a tree to get a better vantage point. From up there, they notice that the guy is still relentlessly searching for them, not giving up. It's like he's determined to find them no matter what.

Mabel accidentally drops one of her favorite bows on the ground, and that's when they finally hear the man speak for the first time. But wait, his voice sounds like TV or radio static again?

After a while, the man disappears again. They climb down from the tree, and Mabel, feeling frustrated, says, "Is this some kind of twisted joke you're playing on me?" Dipper, a bit taken aback, responds, "Mabel, you know I wouldn't play a prank like this on you. I'm not good at pranks anyway." Mabel, feeling weary of the situation, suggests, "Let's just find a way to get out of here. I'm getting tired of all this."

After what feels like a whole 5 hours, they find another page! Dipper turns to Mabel with a smile, but as they turn back, they spot a cabin. The eerie sound of static fills the air once again. They quickly rush into the cabin, seeking safety. Inside, they see a guy with a beige hoodie sitting on the couch. He greets them with a simple "Hello?"

The Twins were captivated by the spaciousness of the cabin's interior. It seemed much larger on the inside than it appeared from the outside. As they took in their surroundings, the enigmatic figure in the beige hoodie approached them once more, politely asking, "Can I be of any assistance to you?" The twins exchanged curious glances, intrigued by the stranger's offer.

Dipper: Well, we could really use some assistance. My sister Mabel and I find ourselves trapped in these woods after narrowly escaping a paranormal creature. Do you happen to know when we might have a chance to find our way out of here? It's been quite an ordeal, and we're eager to find some answers and make our way back home.

The man took a few moments before responding, his voice filled with a hint of foreboding. 'Until the end of Summer, you won't be able to escape Rosswood Park,' he said. Mabel and Dipper's eyes widened in shock and apprehension. The realization that their journey might be longer than anticipated sent a shiver down their spines. The stakes were raised, and they knew they had to uncover the secrets of Rosswood Park before it was too late.

Mabel's tears of fear began to flow as she realized that they wouldn't be able to see their family for the entire rest of the summer. The man, sensing her distress, reassured them, saying, "But don't worry, you have my protection under this roof." His kind words brought some comfort, but Mabel couldn't shake off her worries completely. The uncertainty of their situation still weighed heavily on her mind.

Another guy from the dining room chimed in, asking, "Hey, Mr. Thomas, what's going on?" This new arrival had a striking appearance, with his black luscious fluffy hair and captivating blue eyes. Mabel couldn't help but feel a bit drawn to him. The presence of this intriguing stranger added another layer of mystery to their already perplexing situation.

Dipper looked at the guy and asked, "Your name is Mr. Thomas?" The guy chuckled and replied, "Oh, no. That's just how Helen refers to me. The full name is Brian Thomas, but most people around here call me Hoodie." Dipper nodded, taking in the new information. It seemed like everyone in this mysterious place had their own unique names and identities.

Another guy emerged from a nearby room and greeted the group, saying, "Hey babe, how are things?" This new arrival had dark brown hair with impressive sideburns and captivating brown eyes. Dipper couldn't help but be drawn to him. Thomas, also known as Brian, responded to the guy, saying, "From what I know, the girl's name is Mabel and..." Before Thomas could finish his sentence, Dipper interjected, asserting, "The name is Dipper." The atmosphere in the room was becoming more intriguing by the minute, as new characters with their own unique personalities and appearances continued to emerge.

The man smiled at everyone before Thomas, also known as Brian, chimed in, saying, "Oh, crap! I should probably show you around and help you settle into your new rooms from now on." The offer was met with a sense of relief, as the group realized they would have someone to guide them through this unfamiliar place. Excitement filled the air as they eagerly awaited their tour and the chance to explore their new surroundings.

Brian, also known as Thomas, led the group upstairs to a door labeled "Ben." As they approached, a boy around Dipper and Mabel's age exclaimed, "Oh, son of a... uhmm!" The frustration in his voice was evident, and it seemed like something unexpected had happened. The group exchanged curious glances, wondering what could have caused such a reaction.

The group entered the room and noticed that the boy, Ben, had a controller in his hands. Thomas, with an offended tone, exclaimed, "Benjamin Michael Lawman, how dared you to almost curse in my household!" The boy rolled his eyes and replied, "You're not my dad, Hoodie." His face displayed annoyance, indicating that there might be some tension between them. The situation was becoming more intriguing as the dynamics among the group members unfolded.

Brian, understanding Ben's need for personal space, respected his request and left the room. The group moved on to the next room, allowing Ben to have some time alone.
