Hi there and this time I bring you a collection of tiny stories. Fairy tale stories with the cast of Gravity Falls!

Original quote in summary, "The way to read a fairy tale is to throw yourself in.", by W.H. Auden. (Found on goodreads)

Disclaimer: I don't own any story, quote, or Gravity Falls!

Enjoy!

"Mabel! Stop dragging me there. It's not going to move anywhere!"

"Sorry bro. I saw this old book and I have to say, it seems pretty weird."

"Sure it's not another book of the secrets of Gravity Falls?"

Twins, Dipper and Mabel Pines, were having another normal summer day in the quiet small town. They would often go out into the woods to solve unsolved mysteries or to see what the day brought them. They would run into gnomes, manotaurs, demons, and many more supernatural beings. They also ran into an forgotten president on one adventure. However, the adventures have been very slow recently. Their great uncle runs a tourist trap and during the summer lots of tourists came in. Of course, this required lots of work to attend them and the twins had to help around which affected their mystery solving.

Mabel, the oldest twin, was dragging her brother by his wrist through an unfamiliar part in the dark Oregon woods. Dipper dragged his feet and struggled to keep up with his energetic sister. He tried to pull his wrists out of her hand so he could catch his breath but failed. That is until he bumped into Mabel's back once she stopped.

"Well, here it is. It's hard to get it out though." said the brunette when she pointed to a blue encrusted book trapped between a metal door which was located inside a pine tree.

Dipper looked around his surroundings, hoping to find a thick sharp bark. His eyes caught hold of an old rusted shovel which was hidden between a pile of rocks. The younger twin ran toward the shovel and grabbed the handle then ran toward the tree which held the blue book. He stabbed the opening of the metal door and pushed the opposite way in which the door would open.

"Mabel, don't just stand there. Help me!"

Mabel nodded and grabbed the handle of the shovel then pushed with all her might. After a moment of struggling to open the door, the handle broke and the door fell off. Dipper walked up toward the book to observe how it looked. He was disappointed when it wasn't one of the books for mysteries and creatures.

"Gr... It's not one of those books I was hoping for!" exclaimed Dipper and turned toward his sister.

"What is it anyway?"

The young girl walked up toward the book and grabbed it. She brought the book to her eye level to read its label. After reading it, a smile formed on her face and turned to Dipper.

"Dipper, this is not a bad book. It reads Fantasy Tales for a Century."

"Great, a book about fairy tales and whatnot."

Mabel rolled her eyes at his remark. She secured the book under her arms and made her way out of her brother's sight.

"Mabel! Wait up! I'm coming!"

...

It was nighttime and the kids were settling in for the night. Their great uncle Stan tucked them in their bed and said his good nights to him.

"Good night kids. If you need anything just come to my room. My door is always open." said their uncle as he began to close the door until Mabel ran up to him and grabbed him by his arms.

"Wait Grunkle Stan. I almost forgot to tell you that me and Dipper found a book full of fairy tales. I was hoping you can read them for us. Please."

Mabel gave her uncle the puppy eyes look and whimpered like an innocent puppy. She knew she would win her uncle's decision. Stan huffed and walked back inside the room. Mabel got back into her bed then held the torn blue book toward her uncle's sight.

"Aren't you too old for this Mabel? I mean fairy tales... really?

"Nope!"

Stan rolled his eyes and opened the book. His eyes scanned the book, word by word until deep in his mind; something told him this book isn't right. It felt like it held a magical power to it.

"Dipper, are you going to listen to this?"

Dipper turned around at the sound of his name. He was reading a science fiction book about space adventure. To him a book about sci-fi was a hundred times more interesting than a children's tale.

"No! Mabel, this is ridiculous. This book seems extremely boring."

"Oh come on! We're twelve and we're still considered as children. So stop acting like a boring grown up." Mabel said while sticking her tongue out toward her twin.

Dipper mumbled under his breath and ignored anything that came out of Mabel's mouth. He turned his back on Mabel and Stan then continued to read his novel.

"Just ignore him Grunkle Stan. Dipper is just a grump."

Stan cleared his throat and sat on the corner of Mabel's bed. He flipped the cover of the book then turned toward the table of contents. In front of him, lots of tales of which he heard when he was little were there which felt weird to him. Memories flashed in his mind toward the time when his parents would read these types of tales to his brothers and sisters. So to Stan, this book already had a special meaning to him.

"What story would you like me to start, Mabel?"

Ever since I was little I loved to read about fairy tales to the point where I was obsessed with and believed in them! I even had a huge set of books which contained almost all the classic tales you heard of. So I know almost all the stories by heart.

This story will retell the fairy tales you know and love. The difference is it will have your favorite Gravity Falls characters and have twists so it can suit their characters. This story will contain ALL the characters! Also, each tale is a chapter long! (One story per chapter!)

Drop a review of the fairy tale you want to see your characters in!

The next chapter will contain my most favorite, "The Prince and the Pauper." by Mark Twain.

Thanks!
