Chapter 1: Long Time No See

Third Person's P.O.V.

It was a hot and sunny summer day. The sunlight was gleaming, ice cream shops were everywhere. A bus held a pair of twins, named Dipper and Mabel Pines, who were just returning to the small town of Gravity Falls to spend a summer at the Mystery Shack after four and a half years. Some of the townspeople were gone. Wendy and her friends were at college, Soos moved to Idaho with his new wife, Martha, the cops had sadly passed away, but there were still some residents, such as Candy and Grenda, the Northwests, and the Gleefuls who remained in Gravity Falls.

Dipper's P.O.V.

While Mabel was working her shift, I was sitting down on the couch watching TV. It's kinda boring here, I thought to myself.

''Mabel, Grunkle Stan, I'm going out to explore the town!''

''Okay, I really don't care'' Grunkle Stan said while Mabel called out, ''Bring me back some food!''

I went out, just looking around. Wow, Gravity Falls sure has stayed the same, I thought. I was just spacing out until I bumped into someone. I looked up and saw a girlish figure hovering over me.

''Hey, do you need help getting up?'' The figure asked.

''No, I'm fine; thanks for asking.'' I replied.

''Wow I should really look where I'm going." the figure added.

''Its okay. I should watch where I'm going too.'' I told her.

Whoa, she looks really familiar, I thought, as her long, blond, wavy hair blew over her face.

''Hi I'm Dipper Pines what's your name,'' I asked. ''Oh, my name is Pacifica Northwest.'' she replied. ''PACIFICA!?'' I exclaimed.

Pacifica's P.O.V.

''Um, hey was there something I said?'' I stuttered. Man, this guy is extremely hot!

''Don't you remember? It's me, Dipper? Or maybe you'll remember my twin sister Mabel, the one you used to pick on all the time?'' Dipper exclaimed.

Huh, maybe I do remember. A girl named Mabel and a boy named Dipper... oh my god it's all coming back to me now!

Then I said, ''I used to not like you just because you were related to that weirdo of a sister, probably still is one, that little menace...so anyway you me and a candlelight dinner tonight at eight?'' I flirtatiously said.

''What of course not I would never go out on a date with a girl who tormented and is still rude to my sister for absolutely no reason at all!'' Dipper sputtered.

''Well just because I was KINDA mean...'' ''extremely rude for no apparent reason,'' Dipper interrupted. ''Yes I was going to get to that eventually. Anyways since that all happened in the past let's just forget about it. I don't even hate Mabel anymore.'' I lied through my teeth. ''Well oh yeah, Pacifica, you can just prove it to me by following me back to the shack and apologizing to her face.'' he said.

It took me a while but I slowly agreed and let him lead me to the mystery shack. This is way too much work for a guy, I thought to myself.
