A/N: This is a continuation of Gravity Falls Rule 63: Season 1. If you haven't read that yet, please go read it before you read this story. Otherwise a lot of things won't make much sense.

Things weren't the same since Bonnie Gleeful was arrested, especially since Jennifer was now staying with the Pines. Dana and Marcus did their own mini videos (Dana did a Guide to Mystery while Marcus did a Guide to Life), and Salls had a brief stunt as a TV fix-it person. On one evening, the Pines, Jennifer, and Salls snuck into a movie theater. There was also that time Dana and Marcus won a dog sled race against a space lizard. And who could forget the day the Pines family, William, Salls, and Jennifer freed a mutated cow from captivity?

But after many long weeks, the Surprise Hut was finally back in business.

"Welcome everyone, to the grand re-opening of the Surprise Hut!" Silvia announced. Tourists cheered for her.

"We're here to celebrate we defeated that psychopath Bonnie Gleeful!" Silvia continued. The tourists started booing. "Please, please... Boo harder!" The tourists booed again.

"But I didn't catch that murderer all alone," Silvia said. She gestured to Dana, Marcus, and Jennifer. "These three scamps deserve most of the glory." She playfully rubbed Dana's hat.

Toby Determined held up cinder block that was painted to look like a camera. "Smile for the camera!" she said.

"Your camera's a cinder block, Toby," Silvia pointed out.

"I just wanna to be a part of things..." Toby complained.

"Smile for a REAL camera," Shandra Jimenez said.

"Everybody do something silly!" Marcus said.

The four posed for the camera. Marcus poked his fingers in his cheeks, Jennifer smiled sweetly, Silvia puts on some jazz hands, and Dana pretended to choke herself. They relaxed after the photo was taken.

"And don't forget to go to the after-party tonight at eight," Silvia said, showing an After-Party poster.

"We're doing a karaoke bonanza, people!" Marcus announced. "Light! Music! Enchantment!" He blew confetti out of his hand. "And an amazing karaoke-performance by our band, Love Patrol Alpha!" He held up a picture of himself, Dana, and Jennifer wearing sparkling jumpsuits.

"I don't know about that..." Dana said shyly.

"Too late!" Marcus said. "I wrote your names on the list! It's happening!"

William blew an air horn. "Buy your tickets, people!" he said. "You know you don't have anything going on in your lives! I'm talking to you, Pizza Guy! Don't lame out on me!" The tourists followed him outside.

Silvia sighed. "The town loves us and we finally got that weird smell out of the carpet," she said. "Everything is finally going our way."

"Hey, Graunt Silvia," Dana said. "Now that we have a moment, I've been meaning to ask you for my journal back."

Silvia pulled out the journal. "You mean this old thing?" she asked, giving the book back to Dana. "It was so boring, I couldn't even finish it."

"Wait, you're just gonna give it to me?" Dana asked. "Just like that?"

"Of course, sweetie," Silvia answered, smiling wide.

"I... I gotta go!" Dana said. She took Marcus with her to her room.

Once Dana and Marcus were in her room, she turned on her electric lamp and locked the door. "Marcus, we've got to talk," Dana said. "Almost losing my journal made me realize that I'm halfway trough the summer, and still no closer to figuring out the big mysteries of Gravity Falls. Bonnie almost destroyed the town to get her hands on this Journal. But why? Who wrote it? Where are all the other journals?There's something HUGE going on right under our noses. And it's time we stop goofing around and get to the bottom of it."

"Stargirl, you looked at that thing for like a bazillion times," Marcus said. "There's nothing left to discover! Half the pages are blank, remember?"

Dana flipped through pages of Journal 3. "I just feel like I'm one puzzle piece away from figuring out everything," she said.

"Don't worry Dana!" Marcus said. He lifted up Oinkers. "Lady Mystery Ham is on the case!"

Dana blinked. "I don't know why I tell you things..."

Back at the gift shop, Salls saw a car outside. "Hey, Ms. Pines, what's that code word I'm supposed to yell when I see a government vehicle?" she asked.

"Wait, what?" Silvia asked. She went over to Salls and looked outside the window. "Government vehicle?"

A U.S. Government vehicle arrived near the Surprise Hut. Silvia, with a scared look on her face, quickly closed the window, went to the Surprise Hut intercom, and screamed into it. "The Surprise Hut is now closed, everybody out!"

Marcus and Dana ran over to Silvia while all the customers were leaving the gift shop. "Graunt Silvia, what's happening?" Marcus asked.

"Yeah, you never shut down the gift shop," Dana said.

Someone knocked on the door, prompting Silvia to answer it. "Welcome to the Surprise Hut, gentlemen!" she said, proudly holding her cane (which now had a silver orb where the 8 ball was). "What can I get you? Key chains? Snow globes? These rare gemstones?"

Two men appeared in front of Silvia, showing their government I.D. cards. "My name is Agent Powers and this is Agent Trigger," the first man said. "We come from the organization known as UNIT, and we're here to investigate reports of mysterious activity in this town."

"Activity!" Trigger emphasized, pointing at Silvia.

"Mysterious activity?" Silvia asked. "In the Surprise Hut?" She forced a laugh. "You have to be joking!"

"I assure you I'm not," Powers said. "I was born with a rare disorder that made me physically incapable of experiencing humor. Now if you'll excuse us, we are conducting an investigation."

Both men entered the Surprise Hut. "Investigation!" Trigger said, poking Silvia menacingly.

"Wait!" Dana said. "Wait, did you guys say you're investigating the mysteries of this town?"

"That information is classified," Powers said. He knelt down. "But yes. Between you and me, I believe there is an conspiracy of paranormal origin all connected to this town. We're just one lead away from blowing the lid of this entire mystery."

"Are you kidding me?" Dana asked, getting excited. "I'm investigating the exact same thing! I found this Journal in the woods which has almost all the answers. If we work together, we could crack the case!"

"If you have evidence of these claim, we should talk," Powers said, giving Dana his card.

"We could talk right now!" Dana squealed. "Please please. C-Come in! I have so much to show you!"

But then Silvia interfered. "I'm sorry agents," she said. "The kid has an overactive imagination. As well as a sleeping problem. There's absolutely nothing dangerous going on with this place. Now carry on with whatever you UNIT guys do."

"Very well," Powers said. "We'll be on our way."

Triggger took ten rings. "I'm confiscating this for evidence."

"Smart move," Powers said.

"Wait!" Dana exclaimed as the two men left. "We've got so much to talk about!"

"Oh no," Silvia said, stopping Dana. "The last thing you want at a party is cops." She took the card from Dana. "And for once, please act like a normal kid." Silvia put the card in a box and walked into the living room.

"But Graunt Silvia!" Dana said. "You don't understand!"

"And don't go talking to those UNIT guys," Silvia added.

Dana groaned. "That could've been my big break!"

Marcus took the journal from Dana. "Stargirl, maybe Graunt Silvia is right," he said. "We're throwing a party tonight! Can't you go one night without searching for aliens or raising the dead or whatever?"

"I'm not gonna raise the dead," Dana said. "I just need a chance to show those agents my book!"

"Trust me, Dana," Marcus said. "The only book you'll need tonight is right here." He gave Dana a book of karaoke songs.

That evening, the party was being set up. Salls placed a nacho bowl on a table, Marcus and Jennifer stood on the podium, while Silvia walked to the hut.

Jennifer activated a confetti cannon. "Well, the confetti cannon works," she said.

Marcus looked at the karaoke machine. "Holy smokes!" he said. "This karaoke machine has all the best songs! We Built This Township on Rock and Roll, Danger Lane to Highway Town, Taking Over Midnight by &ndra!"

"Was it really a good idea to get Dana involved?" Jennifer asked. "She seems a bit shy about singing. What if she's a bad singer?"

"Jennifer, karaoke is not about sounding good," Marcus said. "It's about sounding terrible, TOGETHER."

Meanwhile, William and Dana were hanging up posters. William laughed. "Check it out!" he said. "These black lights make my teeth look scary." He turned on a black light. "It's like a crime scene, in my mouth!" But Dana didn't respond. "C'mon, you love it."

Dana sighed. "It's not fair," she said. "I finally meet someone who can help me solve the mysteries of this town, and Graunt Silvia confiscates their card."

"Dude, I probably shouldn't be telling you this," William said. "But I'm pretty sure Silvia hides everything in her room."

"But if I go into Graunt Silvia's room, I could get in so much trouble," Dana said.

"Yeah, you're probably right," William said. Then he chuckled. "That's what makes it fun, dummy!"

Salls was stacking piñatas shaped like Silvia's head. "Man, I can't wait to smash these 'fuñatas'!"

"Smash!" Gary called out. He dove into the fuñatas, breaking them and the table they were on. "The Bronies have entered the party!"

Cameron picked up candy from the destroyed fuñatas. "This candy looks delicious," he commented.

"Guys!" Marcus happily exclaimed. He and Jennifer Brohoof'd with Cameron and Gary.

"Is that a limited edition glittery Pinkie Pie figure on that chain you're wearing?" Gary asked.

"Yep!" Marcus replied, holding up the Pony medallion. "I figured today was a good time to wear it."

While that was going on, some vehicles pull into the Surprise Hut parking lot. Silvia was at a table with 'FREE ADMISSION' written on the front.

"Who's got one good eye and one good pie?" Samuel asked as he carried a pie.

"These kegs are full of MEAT!" Manly Dan said, carrying two kegs.

"The whole town is showing up!" Silvia happily said. "And no sign of those UNIT guys. William, Dana, how are those posters coming along?"

Inside the hut, Dana and William were outside Silvia's room. "I'll keep an eye out for Silvia," William said. "You go rustle through her stuff."

Dana opened the door and walked into Silvia's room. "Alright, Graunt Silvia," she thought. "Where did you hide that card?"

But after a few seconds of searching, Dana couldn't find the card. But then she had an idea. She moved a portrait of Silvia to reveal a secret compartment with a box in it. Dana took out the box and pulled out Agent Powers' card. With the card in hand, she picked up the phone and dialed the number on the card.

"Agent Powers."

"Hi, this is Dana," Dana said. "The kid from the Surprise Hut. I have that journal I wanted to show you!"

"And you're certain this 'journal' will help our case?" Powers asked.

"I'm a hundred percent positive," Dana answered.

"Very well," Powers said. "We're on our way."

While the party was going on, the government vehicle from earlier drove into the parking lot. Agent Trigger and Agent Powers got out of it and were greeted by Dana. "Guys, I'm so glad to see you," she said. "Working together we can crack the all of the big questions of Gravity Falls! Trust me, this book is the lead you've been looking for." She gave the book to the agents and they started reading it. "I'm thinking about a full-scale investigation. Forensics, researchers. Do you guys have a helicopter?" She giggled. "I'm sorry, 'helicopTERS'."

"Kid, I'd love to believe you, but this just looks like junk from some cheap gift shop," Powers said. "I mean, Leprecorn? I can't be the only one who thinks that's not funny."

"I can confirm," Trigger said. "Not funny."

"No, no, no! It's real, I swear!" Dana insisted. "You should 'send it to the lab'. Am I saying that right?"

Powers gave Dana back the journal. "Your great-aunt was right about that overactive imagination of yours," he said. "We've got paperwork to do, kid."

"Boring. Paperwork," Trigger emphasized.

"WAIT!" Dana exclaimed. "This book is real!" She flipped through the pages. "Gnomes, Cursed Objects, Spells! LISTEN! Uh, uh, Corpus Levitus! Diablo Dominus! MONDO VICIUM!"

Suddenly, the ground started shaking. A huge crack formed between Dana's feet and she jumped away and landed near the agents. Green smoke came out of the crack. A zombie slowly climbed out and roared.

"A zombie!" Dana said. "A real, actual, zombie. Spooky journal, 100% real. Now can we work together?"

"Mother of all that is holy!" Powers exclaimed.

"What do we do?" Trigger asked.

"It's just one zombie," Dana said. "Trust me. I see things like this all the time."

Dana scanned trough her journal, looking for a solution. Then after a few seconds, the zombie roared in her face about to eat her brains. Dana screamed. Powers quickly hit the zombie with a rock, knocking it out.

"Whew," Dana said. "Good thing it was just that one."

As if on cue, the ground started shaking again more cracks formed, more green smoke appeared, and suddenly hundreds of zombies emerged and started going after Dana, Trigger, and Powers.

"Oh my gosh!" Dana exclaimed. "You guys can help, right?!"

"Kid, we've been chasing the paranormal for years now, but we have never seen anything like this before!" Powers informed.

Suddenly, zombies pulled the agents into the darkness of the forest, leaving Dana by herself.

Back at the party, Marcus was talking to the crowd of the party. "Is this party legendary or what?!" he happily asked.

But then the ground started shaking. A woman screamed. "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" a man exclaimed.

"Whoa, WHOA! I think it's an earthquake!" William said. He blew an airhorn. "Hey, everybody, we got to get out of here!"

"We're all doomed!" Cameron panicked.

"Quick, get into my backpack!" Gary said, prompting Cameron jumps into his backpack. "Marcus, escape while you still can!"

"Wait, no! Don't leave!" Marcus exclaimed as everyone ran off. "We haven't even done our karaoke song yet!"

"Marcus, you're my Pony pal, but sometimes you have to know when to quit!" Jennifer said before she ran into the hut.

Dana ran into the party. Marcus noticed the zombies following her. "Dana, what's the one thing I asked you not to do tonight?" he asked.

"Raise the dead," Dana answered.

"And what did you do?" Marcus asked.

"Raise the dead," Dana repeated.

As the zombies got closer, Marcus and Dana backed up as Salls heroically steped in front to protect them. "Stay calm," Salls instructed. "I have been training for this moment my whole life. With all the horror movies I see, I literally know all there is to know about to avoid zombies."

But then zombie bit Salls, turning her into a zombie. "Second thought, gonna flip the script," she said. "Can I eat your brains? Yea or nay? Seeing some yea faces over here.

Dana and Marcus screamed and ran around the side of the house, with Salls and the other zombies in slow pursuit. Dana slices through a zombie with her shovel. "Quick! The golf cart!" she exclaimed.

But the zombies attacked the golf cart, tipping it over and biting at it. "Oh, come on!" Dana complained.

"That's a bummer," Salls said. "Good news for me, though."

"Salls!" Dana exclaimed.

"Sorry, I just really want those brains!" Salls said.

Without any good options, Dana used the shovel to hit a colorful disco ball at the zombies. One of the zombies caught it in its mouth and swallowed it, sending rays of colorful light shining out between its ribs. They continued advancing toward the twins, who stood in fear.

"Give it up!" Salls said. "Your fighting only makes us look more rad!"

"What do we do?" Marcus asked. "Where's Graunt Silvia?"

"How's she supposed to help?" Dana asked. "She doesn't even believe in the supernatural!"

A zombie popped up in front of the twins. "Take that, sucka!" Marcus exclaimed, hitting the zombie with the karaoke machine. Its head flew off.

More zombies approached behind the twins. They screamed and ran into the hut.

"Quick! We need to board up all the windows!" Dana said.

Dana and Marcus piled things in front of the door, blocking it. The zombies pressed against the door and began to break it.

"Okay, maybe that'll hold 'em," Dana said, backing up.

The window crashed open. Salls leaned in. "I taught the zombies how to get into the fuse box," she said. "I'm like a genius to them!"

The hut's lights went out, with red light pouring in from outside. Zombies started climbing in through the window.

"Dana, isn't there something in the journal about defeating zombies?!" Marcus asked.

Dana frantically looked through the journal. "NO! THERE'S NOTHING IN HERE ABOUT WEAKNESSES!" She sighed. "This can't be happening. I wanted answers so bad that I put everyone in danger. Now we're toast, it's all my fault, and no one can save us!" A zombie grabbed her arm and lifted her up. "MARCUS, I'M SORRY!"

Dana screamed. The zombie opened its mouth, when suddenly...

SMASH!

The zombie was hit with a cane and dropped Dana, its head crushed by Silvia, who was standing in a heroic stance with her cane in her hand.

"Quickly!" Silvia said. "Get to the attic!"

"Graunt... Graunt Silvia?" Dana asked.

"Just go!" Silvia said.

As Dana and Marcus fled, the zombies approached. "All right, you meddlesome pests, are you ready to die twice?" Silvia asked, twirling her cane around.

The twins ran through the living room with Silvia following, fighting off zombies. "You creatures are no match for a woman such as myself!" Silvia said, using her cane to whack the zombies. She backed up the stairs as more zombies entered from the front door. At the top of the stairs, she pushes over a grandfather clock, sending it tumbling into the horde of zombies.

The twins ran into Marcus' room and slammed the door. Thankfully Jennifer was already there, perfectly alright. They backed away as something started breaking in. The door opened to reveal Silvia, who closed the door and barricaded it with a chair.

"Graunt Silvia, that was amazing!" Dana said. "At least you can't deny magic exists anymore, right?"

"But Dana," Silvia said. "I've always known."

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Dana asked.

"I'm fully aware of the supernatural elements of this strange town," Silvia explained. "If one is not careful, they could get seriously hurt. I haven't exactly been myself lately, but I have been trying keep you away from it. I had to protect you from danger."

"But what do we do about the zombies?" Jennifer asked.

Dana paced across the room. "Well, normally the journal would help us, but there's nothing in there about defeating zombies!" She paused by a black light and it glowed on the journal, revealing glowing text. "It's hopeless!"

"Holy smokes!" Marcus exclaimed. "The text! It's glowing in the black light!"

"What?" Dana asked. She fliped through the journal with Marcus, Jennifer, and Silvia watching. The pages were covered with previously hidden notes.

"All this time I thought I knew all the journal's secrets, but they're written in some kind of invisible ink!" Dana said. She found the section on zombies. 'Zombies have a weakness! Previously thought to be invincible, their skulls can be shattered by a perfect three-part harmony.'. How can we create that?"

Marcus and Jennifer grinned at each other.

The zombies outside crowded the Surprise Hut. They wandered through the gift shop when a noise came from a microphone. The zombies started walking outside. Salls walked through the living room, but then she noticed the TV. "Ooh, Queer Eye is on!" She sat on the sofa to watch. A zombie called from outside. "Eh, I already sat down."

The zombies gathered outside. Dana, Jennifer, and Marcus were on the roof awning, each holding a microphone. "Zombies and gentlemen!" Marcus announced. "I'm Marcus, they're Dana and Jennifer, and together we're Love Patrol Alpha!"

"I never agreed to this," Dana said.

"Hit it!" Marcus said.

The song Taking Over Midnight started playing. With careful timing, the three began to sing together.

Dana: Friday night
We're gonna party
'Til dawn
Don't worry, daddy
I've got my favorite dress on?!

"Marcus, this is stupid!" Dana whispered.

Marcus: We're rollin' to the party
The boys are lookin' our way
We just keep dancin'
We don't care what they say

And all the boys are
Gettin' up in my face

But it wasn't working. "Guys, we have to sing together or it won't work!" Marcus said.

Jennifer: Boys are a bore
Let's show 'em the door

All: We're taking over the dance floor!

As the three kids sang together, the zombies' heads exploded.

All: Oooh Ooh
Girls do what we like
Oooh Ooh
We're taking over tonight
Oooh Ooh
Girls do what we like
Oooh Ooh
We're taking over tonight

We're queens of the disco!

Oooh Ooh
Girls do what we like
Oooh Ooh
We're taking over tonight

Dana: Taking over tooniiiiight!

As the guitar riff played, a zombie popped up and Dana screamed. Marcus shot it with confetti cannon. Its head landed in the punch bowl as the rising sun illuminated the corpses of all the zombies.

"Thank you!" Marcus said. "We'll be here all night!"

In the living room, Dana, Marcus, Jennifer, and Silvia were cleaning up. "I'm sorry about this," Dana said. "I totally ruined everything."

"Dana, are you kidding me?" Marcus asked. "I got to sing karaoke with two of my favorite people in the world! No party could ever top that."

"Kids, I want to let you know that town is crazy," Silvia said. "So you need to be careful. I don't know what I would do if either of you got hurt. I'll let you hold on to that journal, but as long as you promise me you'll only use it for self-defense."

"Okay," Dana said.

"Now then, where is Salls anyway?" Silvia asked.

"Brains! Braaains!" Salls chanted. Silvia panicked and aimed her cane at the still zombified Salls.

"Wait!" Dana said. "There's a page in here about curing zombification. It's gonna take a lot of formaldehyde."

"And cinnamon!" Marcus said.

"Come on Salls, let's fix you up," Dana said.

"Brains! Braaains!" Salls continued to chant.

Marcus prodded Salls out of the room. "Salls, cut it out!" he said.

"Sorry," Salls said.

"I can't believe it!" Dana thought, looking through the journal. "All this time the author's secrets were hiding in plain sight!" She pulled out a portable black light and shined it on the journal. "A whole new chapter of mysteries to explore..."
