A/N I would like to thank all of you who helped me come up with names for my Characters. I am so glad that you all are supporting my story, but enough of that. let's get on with the story.

Episode One:Tourist Trapped.

Ah, summer break. A time of leisure, recreation, and taking it easy.

Unless you're me.

Two children, a boy wearing a hoodie with a star on it, and brown cargo shorts, and a girl wearing a green hat, orange ¾ Sleeved shirt with a blue vest and a gray capris, are on a golf cart break through the "Welcome to Gravity Falls." sign, screaming. An unknown creature in pursuit of them, knocking over trees.

My name is Dipper. The boy about to pee himself is my brother, Matthew, or Matt for short. You may be wondering what we're doing running from a creature of unimaginable horror.

"Look out!" Matt yells.

(A tree grows right in front of them. Dipper swerves to avoid it.)

Rest assured, there's a perfectly logical explanation for this.

Let's rewind. It all began when our parents decided we could use some fresh. They shipped us up north to a sleepy town called Gravity Falls, Oregon, to stay at our great-aunt's place in the woods.

Matt is in the attic hanging up posters.

"This attic is amazing. Check out all my splinters!" He holds up hands, which have gigantic splinters sticking out of them

(Dipper looks at her side of the room) "And there's a goat on my bed."

"Hey buddy." Matt says. he holds out his arm, and Gompers chews his sleeve "Oh! Yes, you can keep chewing on my hoodie."

My brother tended to look on the bright side of things.

Matt is in a mud hole. "Yay! Mud"

But I was having a hard time getting used to our new surroundings.

A woman sneaks up behind Dipper in a mask. "BOO!"

"Ahh!" Dipper screams while the woman is laughing

And then there was my Great Aunt Sera, (The woman is rolling on the ground) That woman.

Our Aunt had transformed his house into a tourist trap she called "The Mystery Shack". The real mystery was why anyone came.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, behold! The Sascrotch!" She exclaims, She wears her trademark fez along with a black dress suit, with the jacket buttoned closed, a bow tie similar in color to her fez, and a white dress shirt. She also wears big, light brown shoes and glasses.

cut to a Sasquatch wearing underwear. Tourists start speaking excitedly, and snap pictures.

And guess who has to work there?

Dipper is sweeping the wooden floor with a broom. Matt is looking at a jar of eyeballs.

"This looks so cool!" Matt says reaching for the jar.

"No touching the merchandise!" Graunt Sera says, Slapping his wrist with her 8 ball cane.

It looked like it was gonna be the same, boring routine all summer. Until one fateful day…

Matt is looking through a rack of T-shirts. "She's looking at it! She's looking at it" he says gleefully.

the girl is reading Matt's note aloud "Hey cutie, want to go on a date with me? Yes? Maybe? Absolutely?"

"I rigged it!" he says

"Matt," Dipper says " I know you're going through your whole "Girl Crazy" phase, but I think you're kind of overdoing it with the "crazy" part."

"Come on, Dipper!" Matt says "This is our first summer away from home! It's my big chance to have an epic summer romance!"

"Yeah, but do you need to flirt with every girl you meet?"

(Flashback to Matt is seen with a girl at the register)

"My name is Matthew, but you can call me 'The boy of your dreams.'" (Girl rolls eyes and walks off.) "Call me!"

(Flashback to a girl walking a dog in the park. Matt jumps up behind her) "Oh my gosh, you like dogs? I like dogs too! What is happening here?" (Girl screams and runs away) "Call me!"

(End Flashback.)

"Mock all you want, sister, but I got a good feeling about this summer. I wouldn't be surprised if the girl of my dreams walked through that door right now."

Graunt Sera walks through doorway wearing a facial mask, Matt sees her and screams."What are you wearing?" he asked her

"A facial mask it keeps the wrinkles away, and I might bring a man here who might be your grunkle someday." she tells him and winks. Dipper and Matt shudder in horror while Graunt Sera Laugh until she clears her throat "All right, all right, look alive people. I need someone to go hammer up these signs in the spooky part of the Forest."

Dipper and Matt quickly quip "Not it!"

A heavy set woman on the ladder says "Uh, also not it."

"Nobody asked you, Soos."

"I know, and I'm comfortable with that." Soos says. She is wearing her brown hat, a pair of dark brown shoes, beige shorts and a jade green shirt with a big dark green question mark on the front and the word "Staff" on the back.

The conwoman turns to the boy at the register "Wendall, I need you to put up these signs!"

The boy doesn't even look up. He is buff for his age and is a wearing a jade plaid shirt with a white tank top underneath, blue jeans and muddy rain boots. Wendall pretends to reach for the sign "I would, but I, ugh, can't, ugh, reach it, ugh... "

"Ok, Fine. If no one wants to go in you're going to be volunteered. I guess we'll do this the old fashioned way. eenie, meenie, mieney…" She points to Dipper "you."

"What? Graunt Sera, you know I don't like being in the woods." The girl insisted. "I feel like I'm being watched."

"That's just your imagination, sweetie."

" No it's not, I'm telling you this town has some weird things in it!" Dipper rolls up her sleeve

"Just look at my arm! My mosquito bites spelled 'BEWARE' this morning!"

"Honey, that says 'BEWARB'," Dipper looks at her arm and rolls down her sleeve.

"Look Dipper." Her great aunt explains " The whole 'monsters in the forest' thing is just local legend, drummed up by guys like me to sell merch to guys like that."

She points to a fat, sweaty tourist laughing while he looks at a Sera-bobblehead's head bobble

"So please stop being so paranoid." She gives Dipper the signs.

"But.." her aunt gives her a stern look, she sighs and begins her trek into the forest.

"Ugh, Graunt Sera. Nobody ever believes anything I say." Dipper says under her breath, approaching another tree. She grabs a hammer and nail and begins to hammer, but it makes a metallic sound.

"Huh?" she wonders, she hits it again, the metallic sound is heard again.

"That's weird" she says, and upon further examining, discovers a door with two switches, she flicks the first one, and nothing happens. She flicks the second switch, and a hole opens in the ground.

"Woah" she exclaims looking down in the hole. She finds a old book with a six fingered hand and a 3 written in the palm of the book. She opens the book and reads.

"It's hard to believe it's been six years since I began studying the strange and wondrous secrets of Gravity Falls, Oregon." Dipper flips through pages "What is all this?" she wonders. she stops at a page that says "TRUST NO ONE". "Unfortunately, my suspicions have been confirmed. I'm being watched. I must hide this book before he finds it. Remember: in Gravity Falls there is no one you can trust". She closes the journal. "No one you can trust…"

"HELLO!"

Dipper screams and looks up to her brother "What'cha readin', some love story?" he asks

Dipper hides the Journal behind her back "Uh, uh, it's nothing!"

"'Uh, uh, it's nothing!'" Her brother mocks. "What? Are you actually not gonna show me?"

"Um, Let's go someplace more private" Dipper says

"Wow, this book is incredible!" Dipper said. showing it to her brother." Granut Sera said I was being paranoid, but according to this book, Gravity Falls is full of dark secrets and mystical creatures."

"Dude, this book rocks!" Matt says.

"And get this! After a certain point, the pages just stop, like the guy who was writing it just vanished into thin air." Dipper explained, when there was a knock at the door. She asks her brother "Who could that be?"

"Well, guess it's time I squealed" Matt said, before he actually squealed "This dude got a date tonight with one lucky girl."

"Wait, I was only gone about fifteen minutes, How did you get a date that fast?"

"I dunno, guess these chicks can't keep their arms off of me." he replies with a grin, Then the bell rings again. "Coming!" he yells before he runs off. Graunt Sera walks in.

"Hey sweetie, what'cha reading?" she asked her niece.

"Oh," She hid the Journal and grabbed the closest magazine, "I was just reading the latest issue of 'Bling Bling for Granny Magazine'."

"Oh, I love this issue. have you seen…" Thankfully Matt interrupted her.

"Hey, family! Say hello to my new boyfriend!" He shouts before a girl walks in

"Wassup?" she says. She Looks at least sixteen and she is wearing a Black jacket with the hood up, torn jeans, and muddy boots. You couldn't tell what gender she was until she actually spoke.

"Hello." Dipper says hesitantly

"How are you doing?" Graunt Sera asks

"Matt how did you meet this girl?" His sister asks

"We met outside the cemetery, the near the creepy forest, Isn't she a catch?" Matt asks his family.

"Yeah, what was your name again? My brother never told us."

"Uh. Normal... GIRL!"

"She Means Nora" Matt says

"Are you bleeding, Nora?"

"No, its, uh, ketchup." she turns to Matt. "Hey do you wanna, I dunno, go grab some dinner?"

"Sure, I'd love too, see you girls later" and they left, but not before Nora ran into the wall a few times.

There was something about Nora that wasn't right. I decided to consult the journal.

Dipper is seen reading aloud the Journal upstairs in the attic.

Known for their pale skin and bad attitudes these creatures are often mistaken for... teenagers?! Beware Gravity Falls's nefarious…

UNDEAD!?

Dipper let out a small yelp when she compared pictures of the zombies in the book when compared to Nora, the resemblance is uncanny.

"Just relax, Dipper, you're overreacting." She reassured herself, ooking out her bedroom window. "There is no way Nora is a… " That's when she seen Nora limp over to Matt. "Oh No, MATT RUN!" she screamed, but her brother didn't hear her pleas.

"You rule, Nora." he says, before she engulfs him in her arms.

"Matthew no!" his sister cried until she seen Nora release him, it was just a hug.

"Ok. Maybe I'm going crazy, but I'm sure my brother is dating a zombie."

"It's a dilemma, to be sure" Dipper turns to find a handywoman behind her.

"Soos, you've seen Matt's girlfriend. She's gotta be a zombie, right?"

"Have you seen her eat any brains?"

"No" she says looking down at her feet

"Look, dude, I believe you. I'm always noticing weird stuff in this town. Like the mailman? Pretty sure that dude's a werewolf, but you need to have evidence. Otherwise, people are gonna think you're nuttier than squirrel poop."

"As always, Soos, you're right." Dipper admits.

"This wisdom is both a blessing and a curse"

"Soos, a kid just threw up in the giftshop, I need you to clean up!" Graunt Sera calls out

"I am needed elsewhere." she says before running off.

I knew that Matt could be in trouble. It was time to get some evidence. I decided to follow them around with a camera, so I could show it to Matt when I tell him. After a few hours I went back to the Shack and waited for him in our room. I waited about an hour before he came back.

"Hey, Matt, we need to talk about Nora. I think..." That's when Dipper noticed the red mark on her brother's face."Matt, what is that?" she said, demanding an answer.

"Relax, it's just a smooch mark Nora gave me." Dipper covered her mouth in shock. "Ha, ha! Gullible. It was just an accident with the leaf blower!"

Flashback

Matt is seen putting picture of Nora on leaf blower's tube."Kissing practice!" He leans into leaf blower, but then it sucks in the picture and sticks to his face as well. He runs around screaming "AHHH! Turn it off! Turn it off!"

End Flashback

"That was fun." Matt exclaims. His sister looks at him and yells

"Matt, listen! I'm trying to tell you that Nora is not what she seems!" she grabs the Journal and begins flipping through the pages.

"What? Do you think she is some kind of witch or sorceress? That would be so cool!" but his sister shakes her head

"Nope, take a look for yourself" She hands him the Journal

"you think she's a Forest Nymph?" he asks, His sister grabs the journal

"Sorry, wrong page." She shows him the zombie page.

"A zombie? That is not funny, Dipper."

"I'm not kidding, Matt! It all adds up: The bleeding, the limp. She never blinks! Have you noticed that?"

"Ever think that she is blinking whenever you do?" he asks.

"Remember what this book said about Gravity Falls? Trust no one!"

"Dipper, I'm not from Gravity Falls. You can trust me, right?"

"SHE'S GOING TO EAT YOUR BRAINS, MATT!" She exclaims shaking her brother. He finally snaps and pushes her away.

"ENOUGH! Dipper, listen to me. Nora and I are going on a date at five thirty, and I'm gonna be A TOTAL HUNK, and she's gonna be GORGEOUS," he screams pushing his sister out the door.

"But Matt," Dipper whimpers, but Matt is not listening.

"And I am not gonna let you ruin it with one of your crazy CONSPIRACIES!" and he slams the door in her face.

"Now what?" she sighs, slumping on the couch

Dipper is looking at her camera over videos of Matt and Nora. The doorbell rings and Matt runs downstairs putting his hoodie on.

"Coming!" he shouts and answers the door. "Hey, Nora, How do I look?"

"Sparkling"

"You always know what to say!" he says before walking off with her.

Dipper sighs a sigh of defeat "Soos was right. I don't have any real evidence." She is looking at a video that shows Matt trying to teach Nora how to skate, but she only falls over. She fast forwards to a scene where Matt and Nora are staring at mountains. "I guess I can be kind of paranoid sometimes and—" On the video, Nora's hand falls off. She glances around, then reattaches it. "Wait, WHAT?!" She is shocked and rewinds the tape and watches it again. She screams and tips the chair backwards. "I was right! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!" She races outside, yelling "Graunt Sera! Graunt Sera! Graunt Sera!" She sees her giving a tour.

"And here we have Rock That Looks Like A Face rock: the rock that looks like a face."

"Does it look like a rock?"

"No, it looks like a Face." Sera Explains.

Meanwhile, in the forest Matt and Nora are talking.

"It's great to finally be alone, isn't it?" the boy asks his date

"Yeah...alone"

Back at the Shack

"Is it a face?"

"No it is a rock that looks like a face." Dipper could tell this could take a while, Fortunately, Wendall drove up in the Mystery Cart.

" Wendall! I need to borrow the golf cart so I can save my brother from a zombie!" Wendall hands her the keys.

"Just fill her up before you bring her back." She begins to drive off, only to be stopped by Soos."

"Dude, it's me: Soos. This is for the zombies," she gives Dipper a Shovel. "and this is in case you see a piñata." and gives her a baseball bat.

"Thanks, Soos!" she shouts before driving off to save her brother. Back in the forest, Nora is about to tell Matt something Important

"Uh, Matt," The teen sighs "Now that we've gotten to know each other, there's something I should tell you."

"Oh, Nora, you can tell me anything!" is what he said, while he was thinking, Please be a sorceress. Please be a sorceress!

"Ok, but don't freak out, Try to keep an open mind" She says before unzipping her jacket, she takes it off and reveals five little women, standing on top of eachother. All of them wearing green leaf dresses, except for the one on top, the one who posed as Nora's head. She was wearing a red dress. Matt looked at them with a shock. The one in the red dress is the first to speak.

"So, is this weird? Is this too weird? Do you need to sit down?" she asks Matt, who was still in utter shock. "Ok, let me explain this, we're Nymphs, well that's a start."

"Wait, I thought Nymphs were taller that me."

"You think you're the first person we pulled this stunt on?"

"Good point." Matt said, he was still in shock, though.

"Ok, so now that we got that covered let's introduce ourselves. My name is Janet, and here we have Carla, Stephanie, Jamie, and…" She looks down at the last nymph, " I'm sorry, I always forget your name."

"Whagintuffle." The wild eyed nymph said.

"That's right, Whagintuffle. Anyway, long story short, us nymphs have been looking for a boy like you to be our new king, Matt. Right girls?"

All the nymphs chant "King! King! King!"

"So what do you say?" she hands Matt a box with a ring on it. "Will you make us your signymphacant other? Sig...sig-nifi-cant! Blah! Can't talk today!"

Matt looks at her and sadly says "Look... I'm sorry, guys. You're really sweet, but, I'm a boy, and you're nymphs, and it's like, 'what'? Yikes…"

All the Nymphs look sadly at him, "We understand. We'll never forget you, Matthew." Janet says. Matt smiles when hears this "Because we're gonna kidnap you."

"Wait, What?" was the last thing Matt said before he was tackled to the ground by the nymphs.

"Don't worry, Matt!" Dipper says driving through the forest "I'll save you from that zombie!"

That's when the girl heard a familiar voice

"Dipper, I'm over here!" The voice cried

"Hold on!" She drove the Mystery cart over to where she heard the voice and was surprised at what she seen.

"What on earth is going on?" she asks. She sees her brother tied to the ground by what looks like little women. one of them hisses at her. Matt struggles to get out.

"Dipper, Nora turned out to be a bunch of nymphs! And they're total jerks!" He tells his sister. One of the nymphs grabs his ear."Ow! Ear! Ear! Ear!"

"Nymphs? Huh, I was way off. " She takes the journal out of her vest and reads the relevant page aloud. "Nymphs: Magical guardians of the Gravity Falls forest. Weaknesses: unknown." When she lowers the book, she sees that the nymphs have managed to tie Mattl to the ground.

"Aw, Seriously?" That's when Dipper sees the Leader and confronts her.

"Hey, Hey! Let my brother go!" she demands. Janet turns around and sees the girl.

"Oh! Ha ha, hey, there!" the little nymph confesses. "Um, you know, this is all really just a big misunderstanding. You see, your brother's not in danger. He's just marrying all one thousand of us and becoming our nymph king for all eternity! Isn't that right, darling?"

"You guys are butt-faces!" a nymph covers his mouth and he mutters something.

"Let him go or else!" Dipper demands, pointing the shovel at Janet.

"You think you can stop us, little girl?" Janet says with a smirk "You have no idea what we're capable of. The nymphs are a powerful race! Do not trifle with the-" She is cut off by Dipper tossing her aside with the shovel. She then cuts Matt free with the shovel.

"Thanks, sis." and they run to the cart, Janet gets up and sees them on the cart.

"She's getting away with our king! No, no, no!" she hollers, she tries to run after them.

"Buckle up!" Dipper tells her brother. She floors it, leaving the nymphs in the dust.

"You've messed with the wrong creatures, little girl." Janet says before shouting "NYMPHS OF THE WILD, UNITE!"

"Hurry, Dipper, I don't want to get married yet!" Matt says

"Relax, Bro-Bro." Dipper reassures him" Did you see how tiny their legs were? I'd love to see them try and catch up with us."

They felt the ground shake and turned around, they see a giant stacked nymph. "Ok, ladies, like we practiced." Janet says from the top of the head, controlling it. "Now, let's get ourselves a man!"

"Drive! Drive! Drive! Drive! Drive!" Matt tells his sister.

"Give us back our king" Janet demands before launching some nymphs at the kids.

"She's Getting closer!" The nymphs begin causing mayhem on Dipper, She grabs one and beats it over the wheel.

"Whagintuffle" Dipper throws her off, another nymph latches on to her face.

"I'll save you Dipper" and Matt beats the nymph off of her, along with her hat.

"Thanks, Bro-Bro." she says weakly.

"No problem." he says "Watch out!" and he points to a tree growing.

Dipper manages to swerve and avoid it, but the cart flips over and her and Matt fall out, Fortunately right in front of the Mystery Shack. "Stand back!" She throws the shovel at the giant,

but she just knocks it out of the air.

"Hey, Dipper I got a question."

"What is it, Matt?

"Where's Graunt Sera?" He asks.

In the shack, Graunt Sera is giving another tour. "Behold! The world's most distracting object." she holds up a spinning spiral, "Just try to look away, you can't! I can't even remember what I was talking about."

Back outside, Janet has cornered the kids. "it's the end of the line, kids! Matthew, marry us before we do something crazy!"

"There has got to be a way out of this!" Dipper tells her twin.

"I gotta do it." Matt says with a straight face.

"What?! Matt, don't do this! Are you crazy?"

"Trust me."

"What?"

"Dipper, just this once. Trust me!" Dipper looks at her brother and nods in approval. He then looks at the giant. "Ok, Janet I'll marry you, but I think I need to give you this first." he reaches in his pocket, grabs the box with the ring, and gets on a knee.

"Oh Boy!" Janet squeals. she begins to climb down "Help me down there, Jamie, Thanks, Andrea! All right, left foot, there we go, watch the hair, Michele." she reaches the bottom of the giant and runs over to Matt.

"Janet, will you make me the happiest boy in the world?" He asks the nymph

"Of course!" and Matt put the ring on her finger, He leans in for a kiss, she follows suit, but she doesn't see what's in his hands.

"Good!" and he turns on the leaf blower.

"Huh, wha-" and she gets sucked in the blower.

"That's for lying to me!" he turns up the sucking power "That's for breaking my heart!"

"Oh no, My hair!" The nymph cries out,

"And this is for hurting my sister!" He aims the leaf blower at the giant and turns to his sister.

"Care to do the honors?" he asks her.

"Gladly." She says with a sly grin, She turns the leaf blowers power to full blowing power, launching Janet at the giant.

"AHH" Janet screams and destroys the giant, with nobody to give orders, the nymphs run into the forest, "I'll get you back for this!..." Janet calls out.

"We did it!" Dipper says merrily.

"Yeah we did!" Matt says, "Hey, Dipper? I, um...I'm sorry for ignoring your advice. You really were just looking out for me."

"Oh, don't be like that." She confronted her brother "You saved our butts back there!"

"I guess I'm just sad that my first real girlfriend turned out to be a bunch of nymphs."

"Look on the bright side. Maybe the next one will be a sorceress!"

"You're just saying that!" he said punching her shoulder.

"Awkward sibling hug?" Dipper holds out her arms.

"Awkward sibling hug." and they hug and patting each other on the back saying "Pat. Pat" they enter the Shack and see Sera at the counter.

"What happened to you guys?" she asked them, but they keep walking. "Wait, I accidentally overstocked some inventory, so, uh... how's about each of you take one item from the gift shop? On the house, no strings attached."

Dipper looks at a hat with a pine tree on it and tries it on. "Perfect, what are you getting Matt?"

Matt is digging in a box "I think I'll take.." he jumps up and spins holding something in his hand "A GRAPPLING HOOK!" he shouts

"Huh, I thought we got rid of those after that kid shot his eye out." Graunt Sera explains" Just don't shoot anything or anyone that can sue us!

Later that night Dipper is in her orange nightgown, and Matt is in his blue shirt and gray sleep shorts. Matt is jumping on his bed while Dipper is Writing in the Journal.

This journal told me there was no one in Gravity Falls I could trust. But when you battle a hundred gnomes side-by-side with someone, you realize that they've probably always got your back.

After writing this, Dipper closes the Journal and turns to her brother.

"Hey, Matt, could you get that light?"

"I'm on it" he exclaims, and grabs the grappling hook and shoots the light and window. "It works!" Both siblings laugh before going to sleep.

Our aunt told us there was nothing strange about this town. But who knows what other secrets are waiting to be unlocked.

after the twins have gone to sleep, Sera is seen walking and holding a lantern. She goes into the gift shop and puts a code into the vending machine. The machine opens, and Sera walks inside, looking side-to-side for people before closing it behind her.

A/n: It took me a few days, but here is Episode 1! Woot Woot! and just in time to, The hiatus ends tomorrow! Please review!
