He hadn't meant to, but he did; Dipper angered Hecate. Who would have guessed she was a fan of the Gravity Falls local Amazon group, whom Dipper may have accidentally destroyed the sacred treasure of, and is now currently running for his life from. No biggie, just an average Thursday.

Dipper was confident he had lost them, only to feel a shot of energy hit him. Blue energy engulfed his body, it was icy cold, Dipper felt his skin prickling like the cold was entering his body. It was violating. Dipper fell to his knees with the discomfort. His limbs felt like they were sapped.

Hecate stood over him, a devious smirk on her face.

"You've disgraced these females, now you shall face the consequences."

Dipper looked panicked, "wait, I can explain!"

"No excuses..." she pointed a finger at him, "you shall not be able to inform anyone of your situation, your curse will be slow and gradual."

"But it wasn't on-"

Hecate continued, "a heroic deed or great sacrifice, a great humiliation, and a kiss from your soulmate will break your curse. This is the cost of your actions."

"I didn't mean to... it's not fair!"

"Life isn't fair, get up child. Leave."

Dipper found that the light was dissipating, and his strength returning. He got up slowly, he blinked and Hecate was gone.

The Grunckles were sitting in the living room with Mable, watching kung Foo Polar Bear. Mable was first to notice him, "Dipper!"

Dipper froze, "Hey..." he said, trying to hide his discomfort.

Mable tilted her head, "is something wrong?"

Stan cut in, "hey, take it in the next room, I'm watching a movie here!"

Mable smiled awkwardly and turned back to the movie,
"we'll talk later." Dipper said and went back upstairs, hoping to find something in the Journal that Stan made photocopies of.

After hours of looking there was nothing, Dipper cursed.

"I can't just ask Ford... let's look at our options."

Dipper wrote out a list of the options available to him and grew ever more frustrated.

-find a way to communicate.
-find something through personal research
-outside force

Dipper sighed, Bill would know... Dipper shook his head.

Bil would know alright, like he would tell me anything after that incident. I'm just glad he's gone.

Dipper pondered, "a heroic deed or great sacrifice, a great humiliation, and a kiss from my soulmate will break the curse. wait..." Dipper fell back onto his bed, "I don't know what the curse is..."
