Chapter 1: The Findings
I slid the book farther in my coat as I kept running, breathing hard and trying not to fall. My name is Dipper, son of the Pines family. My sister, Mabel, was supposed to come with me… but she chickened out. But more on my weird life later. "Ack!" I yelled, tripping over a big log. I covered my head with my arms, making me unseeable. The ghost flew over me with debris flying everywhere. A huge crack had sounded as a tree fell next to me, just missing me barely.
I sighed softly as another ghost flew over me. "Ah!" I screamed. I quickly got back up and ran for the Mystery Shack. I looked to the side to see one ghost chasing another. I just covered my head and kept running. I squinted, seeing the Shack far away. I ran swiftly, dodging tree after tree, and dove for the door. "Grunkle Stan! Mabel! Soos! ANYONE?!" I yelled. The Shack was totally empty! Then, I saw a bright light flicker at the window. "Oh no! The ghosts are here to get me!" I said, withering on the floor.
The door suddently opened, and Mabel, Soos, and Grunkle Stan poured in. "What are you doing there, Dipper?" said Stan, confused. "Yea Dipper, what ARE you doing?" said Wendy, laughing in the doorway. I rose to my feet. "Nothing!" I yelled, blushing and running to my room. "What is his deal? Mabel said, carrying in groceries. "Meh…" Stan said. "I guess he's like… scared?" said Soos, carrying in more. "I don't know, but I'm gonna find out! C'mon Waddles!" said Mabel, giggling as Waddles crawled up the stairs by her side. She opened the door to see me pacing. "Darn… I was a fool… grrrr…" I mumbled. "Dude, seriously? We went over this!" Mabel said, pushing me. "It's not that…" I said, pushing me back. "Well then what's wrong?" said Mabel comforting me. "Well," I said, laughing slightly. "Let me tell you the whole story!"
