From here on out it was just going to be me and Mabel, the two best friends, the Mystery Twins, Partners in crime. But wait- I have to make it up to her, after what just happened a few days ago, she cried, she didn't know who to trust. Me or my Gruncle. It was all down to her, the pressure must have been unbearable. But now, I had to focus on what Great Uncle Ford just showed me. Our birthday is coming in a few weeks and summer is about to end, which means I am a few steps closer and farther from finding the big pin point mystery of Gravity Falls.

Mabel, knitting her sweater, was feeling lonely that night as her brother was downstairs, talking to the other twin in the house. It's already been a week and her brother had been spending more time with Ford than the person who has been with him from the start. She is his older sister. "By five minutes…" Mabel froze and twitched her eye. She did NOT just say that. All her life she had been proud for being the older twin but now it felt like it was just another way on saying 'Hey, I'm the older twin and I will always be. Your just another…' Maybe she didn't want to finish that thought… "What is taking him so long? He said he was gonna be here in time for"- Dipper suddenly enters, looking as tiered as ever. "Woah! Baggy eyes 101 for Dipper Pines- HEYO!" No response. Dipper just took off his vest and sneakers and hoped into bed, bundling himself up in his warm bed sheets. "Good night, Mabel" He said as he turned to his side. Mabel looked at him. No side conversation, No giggle, not even a glance. It was so silent that Mabel could hear Dipper's soft breathing. "Yeah… Good night, Dipper"

Morning came. Mabel opened her eyes. "Good morning Dipper! Wake u"- Dipper was already gone. Shoes probably untied, Journal in hand. "I guess he beat me to it" Mabel decided that she needed time away from the shack. Maybe some time away from people. "On a walking trip I go, On a walking trip I go. Hi Ho the marry-o! On a walking trip I go" She started. "All alone is where I stand, All alone is where I stand. While my brother is adventuring with the other… Maybe this song wasn't the best song to sing" What could she do now? She was already doing the only thing that she could think of. Walking away from the tension between her Great Uncle's. Sometimes, She could even feel them glaring at each other while her and her brother eat breakfast… Not a pleasant feeling on a beautiful day that had to be ruined.

"Alright now, Dipper. You have to keep that page to yourself. Keep the Journal to yourself. You can't take any risks" Ford grabbed Dipper's journal and closed it, Giving it back to Dipper and looking him straight in the eyes. "I can't show it to no one?" Dipper asked, putting the journal inside his vest. "You can't take any risks" He answered. "…Not even Mabel?" Ford looked at Dipper. "You can't take any risks" Dipper put on his 'serious' face and nodded. "Move along now Dipper. I have to get back to Studying" Dipper looked at his vest. "Hey, Gruncle Ford?"

"Yes Dipper?"

"Do you think….."

"Yes?" Dipper thought back at what he was going to say. "Never mind" Dipper fixed his cap and ran back upstairs. He looked to his side, and from the corner of his eye, he could see his gender bent walk into the room.

Round 1:

Mature one: Hey Mabel!

Child: Hey Dipper! I didn't see you this morning?

Mature one: Yeah, last night, Great Uncle Ford asked me to wake up early so we could…. Talk.

Child: OH! Um… You're spending a lot of time with ol' Ford-sy there, aren't ya?

Mature one: Yup!

Child: …. Hey! You want to play a board game or something?

Mature one: Oh… Um… sorry Mabel I can't. I have to go looking for something in the woods. Hey, can you put my journal on the night stand?

Child: Oh!... Okay…

To Be Continued.

"Thanks Mabel" Dipper Said as he left the shack and ran off into the woods… without his sister. "Yeah! Any time Dip-Stick! Any… time…" She left upstairs into their attic room. She set Dipper's journal on the night stand but when her hand left the hard cover of the journal, her body tingled. She looked back at the night stand. Everything around her suddenly faded into back until it was only the journal and her. She couldn't dare to touch the book. It was her brothers. With a bit of hesitation…. She grabbed it. Feeling the old journal against her chest, she walked over to her bed and sat down. "Just a little peek"

She swore that she had never seen this page before….
