Dipper yawned and sat up from bed, stretching out his arms. Across the room, he saw Mabel, her body slumped on her bed, the blanket slowly rising after every breath. The sun was shining brightly through the window as Dipper slipped out of bed. He got dressed before gently prodding Mabel.

"Wake up. Mabel. Mabel. C'mon. Wake up.", he grumbled dully until her eyes burst open and she jumped up.

"What? Who's- Oh hey, Dipper!", she chirped before lying back down. "I'm not ready to get up. Don't bother me anymore!"

Dipper blinked at her in confusion. SHe sure was grumpy today. Shrugging it off, he started downstairs. Gruncle Stan had not yet woken up so he went into the living room, found the remote hidden in the cushions that made up his great uncle's arm chair, and flicked on the TV before sitting down to watch it.

"This time on... DUCTECTIVE, Ducktective, or, "Duck", as he now prefers to be called, goes after Steve, his penguin colleague."

Dipper blinked, "I don't understand why I'm addicted to this show."

For a while, he continued watching the drama filled saga until boredom took over. This was, after all, a rerun. He changed to the Oregon News, since Gravity Falls didn't have their own news channel.

"Morning Samantha!", a tall man dressed in a black suit happily said. He was seated on a bright red couch that wrapped around a table with two laptops.

"Good Morning, Dustin!", the gorgeous women with long brown hair replied and she sat besides him.

"So today on the news, we'll be talking about a car chase that took place near Curiosity Hill, an adorable baby, and much, much more!"

Dipper sighed, nothing more but the usual. He was about to change the channel when the man spoke.

"But first, we'll discuss the weird sightings witnessed in Gravity Falls!"

Dipper dropped the remote and stumbled to the floor. His eyes widened.

"That's right! They saw the weirdest monster running around out there!", the women almost seemed to be speaking to him.

"Many are saying it looked like a huge, albino mountain lion but there's more to this creepy case. The creature was seen running through the outskirts of Gravity Falls. It had long white fur and often traveled similarly to a large cat but was also seen one it's back legs! What is this monster? Maybe the world will never know but we did get some footage and footprints!"

A video flashed on. In the background, the man and woman continued to talk but Dipper ignored them. It appeared to be from inside a house, looking out the backdoor where an odd cat like thing was clawing about, sniffing underneath grass and leaves. It had a human like body but it's strong back legs were debatable of what they looked like they belonged from. It had long fingers with claws at the tip. After a few moments, it disappeared into the forest.

"Wow, now did you see the way those legs were shaped?", the women asked.

"Certainly, Sam! They were like springs!"

"That's exactly what I was thinking!"

"Now here's the footprints!"

A picture appeared on the screen. The foot prints were human looking at first before Dipper realized he could see where fur had been molded into it, as well as pads and claws.

"Whoa...", Dipper muttered.

"Well, those certainly are scary. Now, let's get to that car chase!"

Dipper sighed and rolled his eyes before turning off the TV. He started towards the kitchen where he fetched a bowl from one of the cupboards and managed to jump barely high enough to snag a cereal box. It tumbled to the ground and he picked it up and placed it on the table along with the bowl. Then he poured the cereal into the bowl and opened the fridge, taking out the milk which he poured in next. He put it back and finally got a spoon and began to eat.

After about five minutes, Mabel pushed through the door. Dipper wordlessly pushed the box towards the next seat over where she usually sat.

"What, no bowl?", Mabel asked.

Dipper rolled his eyes and got up, getting her a bowl. "Happy?", he asked with a smirked.

"I require a spoon and the milk. And then you have to prepare it too.", she replied, giggling.

"Nope.", he responded, sitting back down and continuing to eat.

"The service here is terrible.", Mabel remarked, getting herself a spoon and the milk.

"I only work for tips."

"I'm broke."

"I assumed that much."

Mabel sat down besides him, pouring the cereal, and then the milk. By the time she had began to eat, Dipper was finished with his fill and he went towards the bathroom. He poured the contents of the bowl into the toilet, flushed it, then came back in where he put the bowl and spoon in the sink. He took the milk that was on the table and put it back in the fridge.

"Guess what.", he finally said.

Mabel mumbled something intelligible through her crunching.

"I'll take that was a 'what'.", he continued, "There's some weird monster running around town."

Mabel shrugged, "Ro?"

"The news got footage of it!"

Mabel's eyes widened and she took a spit-take, covering Dipper with milk and chunks of cereal. He blinked, brushing his arm roughly against his face in an attempt to wash some off.

"I'm gonna go get a towel.", Dipper grumbled. He went back to the bathroom, this time coming back with a worn cloth. Dipper washed the majority of the milk and cereal off before going back upstairs.

"This isn't gonna work.", he called down to Mabel. "I'm taking a shower."
