Gravity Falls Reimagined:

Whoever thought shipping two teenaged twins off to a sleep town called Gravity Falls to spend time with their Great Aunt who just happened to be a convicted con artist was a good idea was an idiot.

Hunter Pines decided that whoever wrote the journal he held in his hands was even more of an idiot.

What kind of sane person willfully fucks around with zombies, gnomes, and dream demons?

Oh, that's right.

Hunter did.

"This was a stupid idea,"

Hunter had been silent all throughout the bus ride to Gravity Falls and when he spoke his voice had the kind of crispiness that can only be achieved by a pubescent male who has refused to say a word for an entire 27 hours. Lainey was startled to hear him speak but she couldn't help but laugh when he did. Of course Hunter was complaining. He was such a pessimistic guy. His trench coat with torn off sleeves and Captain America baseball cap somehow made him seem so much more unhappy. If the messy hair and bad teeth didn't make Hunter seem like a weirdo than Lainey had no idea what would make someone weird.

Then again, Lainey was no normal civilian either. Her hair had been bleached and dyed bubblegum pink when she was six and a half and to her mothers horror, somehow the dye made its way down to her still young roots and irreversibly altered the colouring of her curly locks. The doctors said that the dye had safely made its way into her roots and she would never have to worry about re-dying it and Lainey had no health side affects save for the hair colour, but Mrs. Pines was having none of that. She threw a fit; she called the hair products home company and sued them for over three hundred thousand dollars…

How she won that case was beyond Lainey.

Hunter explained that it was because "the box had no warnings about side affects" and "the product had left permanent damage on her head," but she translated that to "LOL. I am Hunter and I'm stooopid, I know law things and wanna be a famous lawyer. Lalalal!"

How were they related again?

The twins great aunt Nykita was preoccupied with a very important nap when they opened the door to the 'Mystery Shack,' and when Hunter whipped his hat at her she sat bolt upright grumbling about how children were horrible and she wished that their mother had never called about it.

Nykita's assistant on the other hand was thrilled.

He was a big guy with glasses and dirty blonde hair and the second he saw the twins in the living area of the shack he threw down his work and grabbed the two of them up into a big bone crushing hug. Lainey had laughed happily and kissed his cheek, she had been dying to meet her pen pal face to face for months now and now she could finally see him in person instead of in photos.

Hunter on the other hand was not happy to see Spencer. Spencer's big arms were smashing his favourite book in the entire world The Sibling Brothers In The Case Of The Caper-Case Caper. In the case of Hunter; you mess with the book, you get the horns. He tried to pull away from Spencer but the man adamantly refused and continuing squeezing.

Finally after struggling for what felt like years Hunter gave up and took a good long look at Nykita. She was fit for her age, but she also had a bit of a beer belly and clearly had long since lost interest in her physical appearance. Her long grey hair was tucked into a green fez with a pink tassel hanging off the side of it and what little bits of hair did escape from the fez cascaded over her shoulders and onto her chest.

Hunter growled. He was already bored.

What was the ONE thing Lainey had told Hunter not to do? Go into the woods. What was the ONE thing Hunter did? HE WENT INTO THE GODAMN WOODS. Because of course he did. He was his mothers' son after all.

She ran through the woods calling his name for hours before she saw the thing in the clearing. Was that a fucking triangle?

Lainey stopped in her tracks and walked towards the shape, she wanted to say something for some reason but she did not, it was just a triangle. Probably part of some old building. She could have ignored it and moved on until it moved.

Lainey screamed.

Hunter dropped the book in his hand when he heard Lainey scream. The book was nothing but a mystery but he knew one thing for sure. His sister was in danger. Hunter should have left the book behind but he didn't. He paused after running a few paces and shoved the book into his jacket.

Something told him he would need it someday soon.

"LAINEY!"

He cried out as he ran, his black jean shorts were perfect for running in and he got the feeling he would be thankful for that in coming weeks.

"LAIN-"

He rounded the corner to come face to eye with what appeared to be a floating triangle. What the triangle?

The triangle lit up and before Hunter could process what was happening, a black tentacle like arm shot out and ripped the hat off of his head.

Hunter watched in awestruck horror as the triangle like creature adjusted its bow that floated calmly above its tip with one hand and ripped the sewn in nametag on the inside of his favourite hat. The second the triangle's eye came to rest on the last name the bow lit ablaze and the shape made an odd purring noise.

"PINES? Oh you Pine's breed like RABBITS! So many twins!"

Hunter stepped away from the triangular monster cautiously.

"Oh no pine tree, can I call you pine tree?"

The triangle pointed one of its many fingers at the pine tree design on his shirt.

"Whatever! I am going to call you Pine Tree… I am not gonna hurt you Pine Tree."

The triangle floated really close to Hunters face.

"YET."

There was a blinding flash of light and when Hunter opened his eyes, his pink haired sister was laying on the ground in front of him. She had a design with a triangle in the center craved into her forearm.

Hunter bent down to check her vitals but was surprised to see the book he found in the forest fall out of his jacket and onto the ground in front of her.

The very same symbol that was carved into Laineys' arm was drawn onto the center of the page. A simple sentence written in what appeared to be blood was written underneath it "DO NOT SUMMON AT ALL COSTS."

Hunter looked at the title of the entry of what he now realized was a journal.

"Chloe Cipher; The Last Of The Dream Demons."
