Bud Gleeful chats with you, leading you inside, past his wife- who looks so incredibly miserable, so much so you genuinely feel bad for her (uncommon), and- wait. You don't know her name... HAS ANYONE EVER MENTIONED HER NAME- DOES ANYONE KNOW HER NAME??

You're too distracted by this realization to listen to whatever Bud is saying, something about a maple tree, a clown painting, and a conman... or something.

As he leads you to where you'll be staying he- CRASH! "o- oh excuse me one second, won't you dear?"
"don't call me that-" and before you could finish your correction, Bud swung a door in the hallway open.

"Gideon Charles Gleeful," he scolded "Clean up your room this instant! Greyson is staying for the summer and you will not--"
"I CAN BUY AND SELL YOU OLD MAN!!!" Gideon screamed- to his own father no less. You brace for whatever discipline or punishment you'd expect from your father.

"fair 'nuff" Bud shrugs calmy, closes the door, and turns back to you, "sorry 'bout him. he's having one of his lil' tantrums."

You stare back in disbelief. Gideon didn't just talk back to his father, he shouted back with little more than a 'touché' in response.

As you turn, you see a pale aqua-coloured glow from under the door out of the corner of your eye, but then again, your parents insisted they drive you all the way here from the east coast, so it could just have easily been hallucinations.

As you begin to unpack, a scurry of Gideon-sounding footsteps echo from the hallway. 'unpacking can wait' you think as you watch widdle ol' him walk with blazing determination out the door. You follow distantly, hands in your pockets, looking down inconspicuously, so if Gideon catches you, 'exploring the town' would be a believable excuse.

Gideon makes his way through the town and goes into a building, the expression on his face making it clear this was no friendly chit-chat. You cross the street, entering the store across from the one Gideon entered, putting on a random pair of sunglasses.

As Gideon exits and walks passionetly to his next destination, you put the sunglasses back and hurry out of the store, following Gideon all the way to Gopher Road. It's a dirt road that only goes to one place- a disheveled looking warehouse dangerously close to the edge of a huge cliff. You slow down, you know where he's going.

You wander along trails through the woods, until suddenly, a girl in a blue sweater dashes past. She almost bumps into you, ringing the bell on her bicycle and saying, "SORRY CAN'T TALK NOW GOTTA BREAK UP WITH A CHILD PSYCHIC"
'This town...' you think
...
...
...
'WAIT CHILD PSYCHIC THAT'S GIDEON, HOL' UP'

You start running after the kid, easily catching up because of

HORMONES

"Child psychic? You mean Gideon, right?" you shout/ask, starting to breathe heavier.
"Yeah," she replies/shouts, "we were friends and then we were dating and I didn't wanna be dating with him, so I asked my brother to break up with him for me, but I need to do it myself!"
"ok, first, you're awesome and a whole lot braver than me last year, so good on ya, second, I have a feeling you're gonna need backup." You explain as you near the warehouse.

As she takes off her helmet and puts down her bike she says, "backup? Why would I need-" stopping as the two peer inside, only to find Lil' Gideon, holding his necklace thingy, and another boy being LEVITATED IN THE AIR, SURROUNDED BY THE SAME GLOW FROM UNDER GIDEONS DOOR, ALONG WITH A PAIR OF GIANT ASS SCISSORS.
"that's why..." You say.

With you standing behind her for moral support, the girl pushes the doors open and shouts "Gideon! We need to talk!"

Gideon turns and looks at you, a surprised but not-necessairaly-in-a-good-way expression forming, "Greyson?!" then, his expression softening when he sees the girl, "M- Mabel, my marshmallow," the pair of scissors clatter to the ground, "wh- what are you doing here?"
