"I know you are, but what am I?" The blue creature asked.

"A manopus!" His German leprauchan friend responded. "Half man, half platopus."

"MAN-HO!" The manopus yelled. The two went to go grab their ball from the lava.

Dipper sat on the sweaty old couch, his eyes glued to the screen. "Manny and Khan is awesome," he whispered.

Out of nowwhere, a white pillow flew across the air. It connected with Dipper's head, causing him to crash to the ground. Mabel roared with laughter from the other side of the room. "Nice catch, Dipper!"

"Nice throw." Dipper grabbed his cap and placed it on his head. Mabel grabbed the remote and changed the channel. "Hey, I was watching that!"

"Too bad. I'm watching the Dizzknee Channel. I think Pressure Heights airs tonight, and I want to watch Abel-" Mabel watch off and Dipper snatched the remote from her. He tried to change it back, but Mabel tackled him. He ended up pressing a random series of numbers, and the TV changed to Gurl, Why You Acking' So Cray-Cray?.

During the struggle, Dipper noticed Mabel had a teal sweater with a snowman on it. He rolled away and sat back on the chair. "What's with the snowman?"

"Oh, this?" Mabel dusted her sweater off. "It's Christmas in July!"

Dipper raised an eyebrow. "Christmas in July?"

"Yeah! It's my favorite Gravity Falls holiday!" Mabel said with a cheer.

Grunkle Stan walked into the room. "Mine too." He handed the twins two bottles. "Smash these and collect the glass pieces. We'll sell the pieces as chrystals!" He pumped his fist and went to grab some bobble heads.

Dipper turned the bottle over. "I didn't Stan was a drinker. I thought he ate ice cream and watched The Duchess Approves all night."

"Starring Grampton St. Rumpterfrabble as the irascible coxswain Saunterblugget Hampterfuppinshire," Mabel said with a breath. "Hey, my bottle has a map!"

"What?!" Dipper ran over. Mabel peeled off the red label and handed it to Dipper. Sure enough, there was faint writing on the back. "It's a code!"

"Well duh, goofus!" She gave Dipper and playful punch on the arm.

"Haha, ow." He studied the code carefully. "Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A."

Mabel rubbed her chin in thought. "Isn't that the video game codey thing?"

"The Konami Code! C'mon, Mabel, we're going to the arcade!" The twins ran out of the room.


Yuri stood outside of the Mystery Shack, studying the twins through the window. He jostled down a few notes, then clicked a button on a recorder.

"Yuri's Log, Day 2506. Yuri has found the owners of Book number 3. They appear to be involved in several of the summer's crazy events, such as the Waxman Uprising, Conspiracy Keanu, and Yuri's favorite, High on Smile Dip. They have found a code which might affect Yuri's plan. Going to stop them now." He hit the button again.

The Russian pulled out a red book with a golden hand on the cover, and flipped open to the page titled "Teleportation". He tapped the red star on his hat.

"Arcade." With that, he vanished.


Alright guys, new story. Should be fun. The upcoming chapters will be longer and more mysterious and action packed, I can guarentee that.
