"Testing, testing, one, two, three. Hello? Is this thing on? Hey Wybes, you sure you turned it on? It doesn't look- okay, okay, I believe you and your gadgetry know-how, just- no, I didn't say that sarcastically! Fine, whatever, can I just get started with this already? Okay, thank you."

"Alright, so this is the Mystery Kids journal log, uh, entry number one, I guess? I dunno, this is all Dipper's dumb idea. He said that if the Mystery Kids is gonna be a 'serious thing' then we're gonna need to keep record of everything that happened, and as the leader, apparently I get the 'honor' to do the first one. I don't even know what I'm supposed to say in these, I agreed just to get that little twerp to stop bugging me to do this. Yeah, you heard me, Dipper. You are a little twerp. Twenty years from now, we're going to show this to your kids and they're going to know what a little twerp you are, and it's all your fault because you made me do this stupid thing."

"Pfft, yeah, like this weirdo club's gonna last that long."

"Okay, uh, at least he did give me some guidelines on what I need to say on these. Let me see here… things I need to say… first is entry number. Already did that, so next is… name of the speaker. Well, this is Coraline, if it's not obvious already. Third is… date of the recording. Man, I don't even remember what day it is. Uh, I think it's… the 18th of June? And the fourth is… location of the recording? Uh, the Mystery Shack, duh. Lastly… oh man, that's wordy. Um… a brief summary of important events that has happened, is currently happening, or will happen in the near future."

"Oh, you want to know things that will happen in the near future? How about my fist colliding with your face? I can guarantee you that that will happen very soon."

"Okay, okay, serious… uh, well, there's that portal fiasco yesterday. That one was pretty big, what's with the government showing up and the twins' smelly old troll having a secret brother and all. Also, psycho couple got officially stationed here last week. I guess that's important too. Besides those, I can't think of anything else. I guess that's it?"

"So, that has been entry number one of Dip's dumb idea. Probably the last one, too. We'd most likely forget all about this by tomorrow and never make another one again. Well, okay, that's not really fair. They're all dorks… but they're not your everyday dorks. On the slim chance that this might continue… I think this would be interesting. And no, Dipper, I still think this is dumb."

"So, uh… bye? How do you even end these? I need to figure that out."

It's been a while since I posted anything MK-related on this site. I figured it's about time I change that. This one is a lot more relaxed than most of my other stories since I intended this as a way for me to have a breather while still doing something somewhat productive. As such, there won't be any big story arcs, no big secrets, just a way for me to relax in a productive way.

That being said, it doesn't mean I don't have some plans for this series. And since the lengths of the chapters are shorter in this one, new chapters would be coming out quicker! At least, that's what I hope.

Enjoy and please review!
