Never bothered to put in a preface up here so here ya go!
Gravity Falls believe it or not, is partially owned by me as I have some stock in Disney Corporation. SO SUCK IT ALEX THAT TOTALLY MAKES THIS CANNON!
You get the idea. I don't own the show. I am just writing a Fanfiction to escape the reality that Gravity Falls has ended. It seems to be working.
As the bus hit a bump in the road, Dipper awoke to a red sky shining across the trees. A sight he had not seen in a whole year. As he glanced down at his watch, he read the time; '5:30 PM.' They were suppose to arrive back at the town very soon. The estimated time of arrival was six, but by the looks of where they were, they should arrive in about twenty minutes.
Sitting next to him was his sister Mabel. As usual, she was laying on him hogging all of the space on the seat. He honestly didn't mind. When she was asleep she wasn't poking him in the face, slapping stickers on anyone who walked by, or quoting old 80's movies at the drop of a hat. If anything it was the only time she wasn't moving in a day. She needed her sleep if she was to keep up her hijinks. Something that Dipper did not want to admit he found amusing.
He recalled back to his former summer in Gravity Falls. How they had defeated Bill and had erased him from existence. Along with his Grunkles memories which had caused Mabel to have a slight fit, but thankfully ended up with him regaining them and sailing across the world with his brother. They wrote every day to them back in Piedmont.
Some letters were very short and some were just pictures, but every time they arrived Dipper and Mabel stopped whatever they were doing and raced to read them. The Original Mystery Twins had already solved the "Strange Anomaly" that Ford had spotted. Apparently the ship in gravity falls was not the only one that had crash landed. In fact there were hundreds all over the earth and people were stepping on them every day! The only reason you could find the one in Gravity Falls easily was because the natural terrain had ensured that water had not washed over the land and had preserved the valley to the point in which all that covered it was a bit of dirt and a lot of grass.
The one Ford and Stan had found was supposedly just another scout, however they learned that there was some sort of head ship somewhere on the planet and they were determined to find it. Whenever they stopped beating up massive sea monsters that seemed to like to call the areas where the ships were home. At least they had a massive supply of food. Albeit a bit slimy.
Their other friends in Gravity Falls had tried to keep in touch and inform them what they were doing from time to time. They didn't write but Mabel would talk to Candy and Grenda every night. It sometimes drove Dipper to insanity. As he tried to sleep the girls would stay up late at night discussing boys and magical fairies or whatever girls do in their spare time. He had no clue. From time to time Pacifica would appear at the girls daily talk. She explained once to Dipper that her parents were not to keep on letting her "hang with the common folk" as she put it, but she was able to sneak away every once in awhile to talk to the two twins who had changed her life. As for Dipper and Wendy, the two made sure to talk at least once a week. Each would tell stories of the crazy things that had happened to them since the last time they talked. Wendy's were usually a lot more interesting, since she lived in a town that was known as the hotbed for the weird and wacky, but that didn't matter to them. They just enjoyed learning what happened in their two separate worlds.
As Dipper glanced out the window one more time, he noticed the Gravity Falls billboard go past. Well… The new one. The old one they had used in the robot as a part of the leg. They believed they needed the town to stand on. He immediately shook Mabel as gently as he could to try to tell her they were almost here.
She awoke with a start and spouted something about her new favorite boy band before reality set in.
"DIPPER ARE WE THERE YET?" She nearly yelled causing the bus driver to take his eyes off the road and nearly hit a squirrel… looking creature.
"Not yet Mabel. Although we just past the sign. I'm sure we will be there soon." Dipper informed her. Mabel appeared to be bouncing up and down in her seat. She was very excited to say the least. They were going to be staying with the newly engaged Soos and Melody Ramirez! After a lot of internet dating she had moved back to Gravity Falls and moved into the shack. Becoming another one of the Mystery Shacks many employees. For there was a saying in the mystery shack. "Once an Employee, forever an employee… Even though you're not there you are there in some sort of spirit dude" -Soos
It was written in every room. To remind the occupants of who their heritage was. Wendy of course still worked there, however they lost many good employees in their time. Including their founder. And they could not be happier for all of them.
As they pulled into the bus stop, they noticed a crowd had gathered near the small sign in the middle of the road. Mabel counted one, two, three, four, five, six heads! It appeared as if there were quite a few people ready to meet them as they arrived back! She was so excited she nearly didn't realize she was crushing Dipper under her as she tried to look out the window.
Dipper shoved her off of him and they both laughed at their antics. It was as if nothing had changed.
When the bus came to a full stop they saw who was waiting for them. To the very left sat Candy and Grenda. Both wearing Mabels latest sweaters she had sent them in the mail. Next to them sat Soos and Melody. Who were both still dressed in their Mystery Shack attire. Then to the right was Wendy, still wearing the same old green Flannel shirt and jeans she always wore. However she did have her axe next to her and on her head sat Dippers hat. Something he very much wanted back. Finally, at the very end was Pacifica. Who also wore a sweater. Despite the 80 something degree weather.
As soon as those bus doors opened, Mabel sprinted into the arms of her two best friends. All of them laughing and greeting one another as if they had never left each other. Which by the way they had been talking all the time, they really hadn't. As Dipper walked out much slower, he felt someone plant something on his head. He looked up to notice his face was now being protected from the now setting sun and realized what it was.
"Where did ya put my hat dork?" Wendy said as she grabbed him in a hug. "It's so good to see you. Place has been really boring without you guys." She said as they both let go. It seemed as if Mabel was done tackling her friends and had now migrated to Wendy as she slowing gripped her into the greatest bear hug imaginable. They seemed to be catching up rather well.
Dipper had already migrated to Soos and Melody who both seemed to have the biggest grins on their faces. Soos wore a eye patch. Just like stan. If it were not for their different body builds you could easily say they were one in the same.
"Woh dude. You grew a lot." Soos said to him as he greeted him with a warm hug.
Soos was not lying. It seemed as if the "Alpha Twin" Mabel was having a hard time growing nowadays, Meanwhile Dipper had already grown 3 more inches taller. A fact that he would never stop teasing his sister about.
"Well it comes with Puberty I guess." He said back before letting go of Soos. He also hugged Melody and said hello before feeling a slight punch to the arm.
"You weren't going to forget about he were you?" a voice called from his side. Turning he saw pacifica wearing the same Llama sweater mabel had made for her the day they took back Gravity Falls.
"What? No how could I forge- Ooof!" he said before being embraced in a big hug. "It's good to see you nerd. You two should have stayed in touch more often."
He felt a bit bad for Pacifica. Ever since their family had to sell their mansion and Pacifica was forced to only have one pony, her family had been in a state of financial trouble. They were all currently living in a rather large Apartment and their parents were barely making ends meet. Their mudflap factory was not doing very well as it appeared.
"Sorry about that Pacifica. Well look on the bright side. I'm here for a whole summer." He said back to her before the hug bomb that is Mabel came crashing down on them.
"OH MY GOD PACIFICA IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU ARE YOU WEARING MY LLAMA SWEATER THAT IS SO ADORABLE HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?" Mabel spurted out of her mouth not pausing to punctuate. They all sat there for a while discussing and catching up. The bus ride was a long one and all of them wanted to get back to the shack to enjoy some food and relaxation.
What fools they had been to let him out of his mind. Just so they could save their precious uncle's memories. Because of him regaining his memories, Bill had been able to escape. Why wouldn't he? After all the whole reason they had erased his memories was to get rid of him. To lock him away in Stans subconscious. Since they had unlocked that subconscious, they had also unlocked bill.
Bill floated in the air watching them. Stalking them from the Dreamscape. There was nothing he could do to them now, since he had lost his body many moons ago and he could not recover it, but he was planning. Scheming. He would get his revenge on the Pines family. And this was the perfect summer to do it.
Thank you all for reading this first chapter. Had a blast writing it. I hope I have peaked your interest. Ah who am I kidding? You all are as desperate for more Gravity Falls as I am. Don't worry folks we can both use this to cope with the Infinite Hiatus. Thank you all for reading! Suggestions and reviews are very much appreciated.
