McGucket wakes up and looks at his surroundings, seeing nothing but darkness.

" What happened?" McGucket stands and frowns when he doesn't see anything.

" Ricky?" McGucket called out, but there was no response.

" If you do as I say, I will tell you where your beloved Fairy is at," A masculine malicious voice spoke, causing McGucket to shiver.

" Who's there?!" McGucket shouts while looking at his surroundings.

A static-like sound grabs McGucket's attention. McGucket turns around and sees a TV in the distance.

McGucket warily stared at the TV, but something in him felt compelled to walk towards it.

McGucket approached and stood before the TV, staring at it with mixed emotions.

" Let me have your body, and you will have your Fairy back," The masculine malicious voice whispered, causing McGucket to shiver.

McGucket opened his mouth to say something but stopped when he saw an image playing on the screen. His dark eyes widened when he saw a familiar figure in black and white at a cemetery with their hands on a gravestone.

" Faye," McGucket mouths out, getting emotional.

" Faye!" McGucket shouts, but the feminine figure on the TV screen can't hear him.

" Faye! It's me, your Papa!" McGucket shouts with his hands on the TV.

Footsteps approached McGucket, causing the older male to turn around, and he froze when he saw ruby demon-like eyes stare at him.

" She cannot hear you," The masculine malicious voice spoke, causing McGucket to look at the darkness warily.

" Who-What are you?" McGucket asked while stepping back, but he bumped against the TV, causing him to look at his daughter, Faye Pines, with mixed emotions.

" I am a Lost Soul," The masculine malicious voice cackled, making McGucket pale.

" As I said before, do as I say, and you will have your Fairy back," A glove-like hand appeared before McGucket.

McGucket looked at the glove-like hand with mixed emotions. He looked back at the TV and saw Faye with tears falling from her eyes.

" My daughter needs me," McGucket whispered. He turns his gaze and stares at the red demonic-like eyes intently. He grabs the glove-like hand and shakes it, not thinking straight.

" Excellent!" The masculine malicious voice laughed. The mysterious figure stepped out of the darkness, letting McGucket see him for the first time.

McGucket held his breath, and his dark eyes widened when he saw the mysterious figure smiling, revealing demonic-like teeth.

McGucket opened his mouth to scream, but nothing came out as darkness consumed him.

" Ugh! My head," McGucket groans, grabbing Rick's attention.

" Good. You are awake," Rick was sitting on a couch in the basement, watching McGucket wake up.

McGucket lay on the second couch, and his eyes revealed red demonic-like eyes, but they quickly changed to his original dark color. His eyes blinked, seeing clearly, and he sat up.

" What happened?" McGucket asked while turning his gaze to Rick.

" You fainted after I told you that Faye disappeared," Rick responded, and he stood up. " Can I borrow your DNA kit and sequencing machine?" He asked, looking at McGucket.

" Yeah. Why?" McGucket looked at Rick with a confused expression.

" I have a hypothesis about something, and I want to see if what I believe is correct," Rick explained.

McGucket stands up and walks towards the left side of the basement. He opens a cabinet and pulls out a DNA kit. He turns and hands it to Rick.

Rick grabs the DNA kit and walks toward the right side of the basement to the sequencing machine. He pulls a pair of gloves from his left lab coat pocket and puts them on. He then takes out a sandwich bag from his right lab coat pocket.

McGucket stood behind Rick, looking at him curiously.

Rick sets things up and begins to type something on the sequencing machine's keyboard. He pressed a green button and stepped back, waiting for the DNA to be processed.

" Who's DNA are you using?" McGucket asked, looking at the sequencing machine.

Rick glanced at McGucket.

Rick was curious if he should tell McGucket that he was using his daughter Faye Pine's DNA to compare with a DNA of a young teen that he had recently met that reminded him of Faye.

" I'm using Faye's DNA as the main source to compare it to a DNA of a young teen I had recently met," Rick responded.

McGucket stared at the sequencing machine with mixed emotions when he heard Rick say Faye's name.

" What's your hypothesis?" McGucket asked while looking at Rick warily.

" That they are mother and daughter," Rick responded.

McGucket looked at Rick with a conflicting gaze.

" And you said you recently met this teen?" McGucket asked.

Rick nodded.

" She looked so much like Faye at that age," Rick commented.

Tears welled up in McGucket's dark eyes.

" It's only a hypothesis, McGucket. I don't even know if they are mother and daughter. Who knows, it may be a coincidence that the two looked alike," Rick brushed his hair back with his right hand.

" Do you know this teen's name?" McGucket asked.

Rick hummed, looking at McGucket and the sequencing machine with a thoughtful expression.

" Her name is Talulla Pines," Rick responded.

McGucket opened his mouth to say something, but he stopped when he heard a ringing sound from the sequencing machine. He and Rick turned to see that the DNA results were complete.

Rick grabs the DNA results, and his black eyes dim when he reads the results.

" I cannot believe it," Rick murmured.

" What is it?" McGucket asked, looking at Rick nervously.

Rick lifts his head and looks at McGucket.

" What's Faye's daughter doing with Franklin's kids at Gravity Falls?" Rick asked.

McGucket's hands tighten into fists when he hears that Rick's hypothesis is correct and that Talulla Pines is Faye's daughter, which lets him know that Talulla is his Granddaughter.

" And why did he introduce Talulla to me as Shermie's Granddaughter?" Rick murmured.

" It's evident that Talulla is Faye's. The girl even has Ford's medical condition. They both have an extra finger on their hands," Rick glares at the DNA results.

" And why would Faye give her child away to Franklin? Something doesn't add up," Rick shakes his head.

" The only person who can help me with this is Beth," Rick murmured. " I know she can get to the bottom of this. She and Faye were best friends, almost sisters," He sighed.

McGucket grabs the DNA results from Rick's grasp and looks at it.

" DNA Test Report:

Child - Talulla Pines.

Alleged Mother - Faye Pines.

Probability of Maternity - 99.99999%"

" I cannot believe it," McGucket whispered when he saw how similar Talulla and Faye's DNA are.

Tears welled up in McGucket's dark eyes. Images of an adult Faye Pines looking sad with a hand on a tombstone scorched his brain. His whole body twitches, feeling angry, sad, and confused.

" Ricky," McGucket firmly speaks, grabbing Rick's attention. " Take me to her," He lifts his head and looks at him angrily, tears falling from his dark eyes.

Unbeknownst to McGucket and Rick, a demonic cackling sound is heard in the basement.

" You will soon be mine, Talulla Pines."
