A black limousine passes the city line. Inside are the two Gleeful twins, famous for their magic show tours around the world. Mabel, the shortest of the two, was puffing the smoke of her cigar out of the window. At 15, she was very mature, as was her brother.
"Gravity Falls." Mabel reads the sign beside the road. "Figures Stan would end up in a run-down town like this, right Dipper?"
"Right. You think he lives in one of those things?" Dipper was pointing to the small trailers nestled in the trees. The gleeful twins lived a life of luxury, and were never close to rural areas, it is was very likely that they have never seen trailers, or any kind of small house.
The limousine turns into a long driveway, after passing through an iron gate. At the end of the driveway stood a huge mansion. The mansion was on top of a hill overlooking the town, and it was exceptionally beautiful. A small col-de-sac in front of the car was made up of white brick, and several expensive cars were parked in front. Truly adequate for a member of the Gleeful family.
"Maybe Stan isn't living in poverty like we thought." Dipper steps out of the car, and looks at the house.
"What a shame. I wanted to tease him about being a failure, just like his brother." Mabel giggles.
"Careful, Stan would have a meltdown if you said that if front of him."
The twins walk to the front door, and Dipper knocks. After a few seconds, it opens, and the twins' uncle is standing in front of them. He was a tall, broad man, and he held the stature of an important person. He did own more than half of the companies and houses in town. Stan acknowledges them swiftly, and they have their bags taken to their rooms.
"Dipper~" Mabel sings as she knocks on his door.
"What."
"You got a lighter?" She sways a cigar in front of his face, distracting him from folding clothes and putting them in drawers. Dipper sighs, and slips a lighter out of his back pocket.
"Those things kill you, you know." He holds it out for her to ignite her cigar, then slips it back into his pocket.
"Whatever. I think it's a myth." She puffs smoke in his direction, and moves to sit on his bed. "It's boring here. Stan doesn't even have a pool. We're gonna need to find something to do."
"Do you have to wear your nicest clothes? We're just going to town." Dipper raises an eyebrow as she walks towards the door.
"I want to stand out, we've never been here before, and I want to make a good first impression." She snaps back at him.
"Fine, but don't come crying to me when you get mud on your dress."
The twins walk through the streets of Gravity Falls, looking for something to do. They see an odd pair of friends, a small white-haired boy, hunched over a book, and a blonde girl, with a daisy in her mouth.
"What kind of creep chews on a flower all day?" Mabel murmurs in her brother's ear. She lets a friendly smile creep onto her face as she walks towards the two. The short white-haired boy was scribbling something in a journal, while the blonde girl was leaning down, reading it.
"Hi you two, I'm Mabel." She introduces herself. "And this is my brother, Dipper. Who are you?" The two share a glance, and look back at Mabel, dumbfounded. No doubt it was about her choice of clothing. It didn't last for long though, the blonde girl took the flower out of her mouth and stood up straight.
"Nice to meet you," she stuck her hand out, Mabel doesn't shake it though, "I'm Pacifica. Pacifica Southeast. I live down by the trailer park.
Dipper could almost hear his sister laughing, saying, of course you do.
"And you?" Mabel steps in front of the boy with white hair, and he quickly closes his journal.
"Gideon Pines." He squeaks out as he cranes his neck to look up at Mabel who was almost standing directly over him.
"That's a cool book," she hums. "Mind if I take a look?" She reaches for it, and he tries to pull it out of her reach, but she grabs it before he can. She throws it to her twin, and he immediately starts flipping through the pages.
"What is this?" Dipper looks back at Gideon. "Hm?"
"Please, leave me alone. It's my journal." Gideon runs to Dipper, and grabs a hold of the journal. Dipper tightens his grip, and pulls back, making Gideon loose balance and fall onto the pavement.
"Hey!" Pacifica yells, the flower was back in her mouth now, and she runs to Dipper, yanking the book out of his hands. She goes to Gideon who was still laying on the ground, and comforts him. "What's wrong with you?" She looks between the twins, outraged. She helps Gideon up, and they start walking away.
"What did we do?" Mabel chuckles, and puts a hand on her brother's shoulder. "What was in the book?"
"Pictures, writing. It was really interesting, actually. I think the brat might know some things about this town. I want that journal, Mabel." Dipper glares in the direction of the white haired boy and the blonde. He and his sister turn away, and walk back to the house.
