Coraline P.O.V

I've bin sitting on this bus for nearly three hours and I still have two to go grate just grate. I looked around other then me their were only an old women and a middle aged man on the bus. I'm so bored and Looking out the window didn't exactly help much, all i could see was a bunch of trees and occasional car pass by. This trip feels like it has lasted way more then three hours. My phone suddenly vibrated, it was a text from Wybie.

-hey hows the trip going judging by the time i assume you still aren't their yet

-its sooooo boring can't wait to get off this bus :(

-well thats what you get for choosing such a far away town why did you want to go their anyway

-common why born you know i needed a summer job plus i just wanted to get away from the Pink Palace for awile

-okay but why gravity falls of all places its bin said to be nothing but a tourist trap

- they probably just put up that act to hide their real secrets

-whatever helps you sleep at night caroline :P

Whatever Wybie can say whatever he want but I just have feeling about this town their something about their myths and mysteries siting their to many to just be coincidence. You'd think Ever since the incident with the other mom any sane person would want nothing more then a normal life with no more surprises. Yet all I wanted was to find more adventure to feel the adrenalin pumping thru my veins, to see something I've never seen before, and to discover anything was agonizing two hours but i finally arrived at gravity falls. I grabbed my bags and got off the bus. I looked around at all the small buildings, the whole town was rather small, and forest seems sorrowed most of I heard this raspy yell i turned to the direction of the noise. "Haha old man Mcgucket spiting in a bucket" an old man with a bandaged arm and leg and beard so long it touched the side walk yelled at the top of his lungs. Okay well that was random but I looked around and people around din't seem to be phased guess this is normal occurrence. Oh right I almost forgot I better go find a hotel or something to stay while I'm here. "Excuse me?" I said tapped a woman on the shoulder "yes" she turned around "hello just wanted to know if theres a place close by were I can stay? like a hotel, because I'm going to be staying here a while" I asked. "Oh ofcourse their one just tree blocks from here just take a left and keep going strait and its the biggest building" she said "grate thank you" and with that i was off. Following the women's directions I found a brown building that tree stories high guess this was it. opening the door and stepping inside I notice it was rather nice the filled with plants and a nice furniture even brick fireplace. After checking in and getting my room key I heeded up to the third floor. "301..302..303 ah here we go 304" unlocking the door i went in and threw all my bags on the floor. the room was pretty cool a bed, a desk in the corner, mini fridge and a plopped down on the bed then my stomach started growling oh grate now I'm hungry well I did pas a dinner on my way here grabbing my wallet and the seeing stone Miss Spink and Miss Forcible gave me (I had a habit of taking it with me were ever I go). I headed down stairs. Thankfully I didn't have to walk to far until I got to a log shaped building with a signs that read "greasy diner". Going in it also looked like the inside of a log except with tables and windows I took a seat in one of the stools and grabbed a menu. A woman with gray hair and one eye closed came and asked " Hi hon what can i get yha?" "slice of pie and some water" I said she wrote it down. "Alright anything else?"she asked "umm actually I'm looking for a job are you guys hiring anyone?" I asked her i figured this place is close it would be a good job wonder how much they pay. "Ohhh sorry hon were not hiring at the moment" she said "oh ok" I sighed. "HEY! I just remember that Stan is actually looking for some new employes" she cut me off "stan?" who's that. " Yes he owns the mystery shack down town" she said and left. she then came back with a slice a pie and water "alright here you go and heres the directions to the mystery shack" she said putting down the plate and handing me a napkin with something written on it. Looking closer I notice it was a map to what i guess was the mystery shack it wasn't to far from here. I took a bite out of the piece of pie and god it was so good man I almost forgot the beast part about coming here, I didn't have to hold down my dads cooking. Following the map the women gave me I ended up in front of an old wooden house or shack surrounded by forest and a sign with the word mystery shack (witch also had the s fallen off). I guess this was it, I wonder what is this place is anyway. Walking to the door witch had the sign enter on it i opened it. Walking inside I looked around I couldn't believe everything looked either fake or tacky. their was a jar of eyeballs in the counter and on the wall a stuffed bare that had a horn glued to it. the rest of the room looked like a gift shop with hats, cards, shirt, bunch of other items. What was this some kind of store? Then an old man with gray hair wearing a suit glasses and fez came in "hey kid scram were closed" he said. "Um actually I'm looking for a job" I told him. "well since my last employe left all I'm left with is soos so all right you get the job" he answered. "Cool so what exactly this place anyway?" I asked "This place is beast known as the mystery shack where we show a the grates mysteries of this world to suckers… i mean people and sell as meny as these items, remember the store motto we put the fun in no refunds" he said. "Oh ok" ok well something tells me that the adventure I'm looking for isn't going to be here, oh well at least I got a job. Suddenly a man with buck teeth waring a shirt with a question mark on it came running in"Hey Stan guess what i found this peanut that looks like that one president dude" then he held up a peanut who bared a slight resemblance to Jimmy Carter but only slightly. "Soos, i'd fire you… if you were so brilliant" Stan said. Then he turned back to me "well Soos this is …"he said "Coraline" i answered "caroline she will be working here from now on" he told Soos. "Cora..oh forget it so when do I start?" I gave up on correcting people they never get my name right anyway. "Tomorrow and don't be late" Stan said then he left the room. "Alright dude welcome to the mystery squad you'r going to love it here" soos told me. Well this place doesn't seem to be that bad Soos seems pretty cool and i get paid to sell thing to gullible tourist who knows maybe this summer wont be that bad.
