Part One

Dipper was up in the attic, catching up on reading in journal 3. It had been a long time since any anything really supernatural had happened in Gravity Falls. Ever since Weirdmaggedon, everything seemed much more mundane than he would've liked. Dipper wondered if anything supernatural was left in Gravity Falls.

Dipper sighed, resting his head on his hand as Mabel came cartwheeling into the room.

Dipper glanced up.

"You're awfully cheerful." Dipper muttered.

Mabel stopped what she had been doing to glance at her brother.

"And you look like Wendy punched you in the stomach when you told her your feelings.." Mabel countered back.

Dipper scowled at her comment.

"Uh.. Sorry.." Mabel mumbled. "So, What's the matter?"

"It's just.. There's nothing going on anymore.." Dipper sighed. "Ever since the incident with Bill, nothing's really been going on.. I mean.. What's the point to.."

He trailed off as he lost his train of thought.

"Dipper, are you saying you don't know what the point of being here is?"

Dipper went silent.

"Dipper.. I thought you wanted to come back because you missed Grunkle Stan and everyone else.."

"I DID! I mean.. I did miss them but.."

"It's not enough, is it?" Mabel inquired.

"I.."

Dipper stopped speaking before turning his attention to nearby window.

His mind began to go back to the day when he, Soos, Mabel, and Wendy had found the old bunker in the forest. Dipper closed his eyes, getting a heavy feeling in his heart. He could remember telling Wendy his feelings and how she had told him she did care about him but wasn't sure about returning his feelings.

Mabel looked at him with deep concern.

"Dipper?"

Dipper continued to silently stare off into the forest, remaining completely silent. He soon stood from the bed and soon began to wordlessly head out of the attic.

"Dipper..?"

Dipper continued to head out of the shack and walked into the forest. He didn't know where he was going or why he was going there, but he was walking there nonetheless. His feet crunched lightly in the grass and dead leaves as he walked. After walking for what had to have been hours. Dipper stopped and glanced over his shoulder as he thought he heard voices around him on the wind. Dipper started running, heading deeper into the forest. In the distance, he thought he could see a faint glint. He continued running toward the glint up until he found himself in an unfamiliar section of the forest. Dipper frantically glanced around as he tried to figure out where he was.

"H-hello?"

There was no response.

He felt a sudden chill run down his back as an all too familiar statue met his gaze.

"Bill..."

Dipper glanced up to the shimmer of moonlight that had seemed to been contracted into a single beam of light to shine down upon the statue. He could see a faint mist arising from around the statue. He continued gazing at the statue, unable to move.

Dipper was suddenly snapped from his trance as he felt a hand on his shoulder.

He spun with a yelp and was met with Wendy and Mabel's gaze.

"Dipper! What were you THINKING!?" Wendy nearly shouted. "Running our in the middle of the night like that!?"

Dipper swallowed, his mouth having gone dry. He soon shook himself as he pulled back from Wendy's hand on his shoulder.

"I'm fine.." he muttered, a heated flush forming on his face.

It wasn't that he didn't see he as a friend anymore, but he didn't want to show his still broken heart to show on his face. Dipper didn't hold a grudge, he just didn't want her to know he still had feelings for her like he had three to four years ago. Wendy picked this up immediately.

"Dipper.. I.."

Dipper cut Wendy off by turning away from her. Wendy didn't know how to continue.

"Dipper.." Mabel started. "Please don't be like that.."

Dipper spun to look at his sister.

"How do you THINK I should've reacted!?" Dipper snapped. "I didn't forget what happened!"

Wendy and Mabel were caught off guard by his sudden outburst. They looked at him with deep concern. As Wendy looked at him, she could see Dipper's eyes had begun to shimmer slightly.

"I've TRIED to forget so I wouldn't have to DEAL with it like I did before!"

Wendy opened her mouth before closing it again.

Dipper suddenly felt a dizziness wash over him as the mist began to disperse.

"Ugh.."

He blinked in confusion.

"Wendy? Mabel? What..?"

Wendy looked at him in confusion.

"You.. You just said you tried to forget.."

Dipper stared at her. Wendy suddenly stopped as her gaze landed on the statue of Bill as the mist began to rise again. As the mist surrounded them, Wendy then gritted her teeth.

"What is your DEAL!?" she suddenly shouted.

"W-wha?"

"You think it's easy for me to think about what I had DONE!? I'm SORRY if my rejection made you UPSET! I was stupid to react like that!"

Dipper and Mabel were in shock as Wendy's angry stare suddenly went blank and she felt a wave of nausea as she then clutched at her head.

"Guys..?" Dipper whispered. "I.. I think I figured this out.."

Wendy and Mabel looked at him. He removed the journal from his vest.

"This mist isn't natural.."

"Oh NOW you find something supernatural after you kept COMPLAINING about it!?" Mabel glared.

"Mabel! Stop! This is what is making it happen!" Dipper exclaimed. "It feeds off our negative feelings and somehow projects it out around us!"

Mabel was breathing heavy but soon started to clear her mind and she began to calm down.

"We also have no idea if this mist has any side effects!"

"We should probably get out of here.." Mabel muttered.

Wendy and Dipper nodded. As they began to leave, Dipper started to feel an unusual sensation along his right arm and winced. The feeling was almost as if his clothing was made of sandpaper as it rubbed against his skin.
