It was your average day at Gravity Falls, Oregon. The sun was sorta shinning, the birds that didn't want to kill you were chirping, and Dipper and Mabel Pines were taking a break from monster hunting. The twins were in fact in their Grunkle Stan's kitchen, if you could call it that.
"Score! Corn chips!" Dipper yelled, from the inside of a cabinet, "Ha!" He then held the bag of chips in Mabel's face. "Got real food!"
As he sat down he heard Mabel say, "Gimme a chip."
He turned back, and simply said, "No."
"Corn chip, Dipper," Mabel persisted.
"No."
"Corn chip!"
"No."
"Corn chip!" Mabel yelled.
"Fine!" Dipper said, as he threw her a chip.
"Yum! These corn chips are as irresistible as me!" Mabel said, as she jumped through the open window.
"That was weird," Dipper said to himself. Walking into the gift shop, he saw Wendy, and skipped over to her. Wendy was texting, and ignoring Stan telling her to take the new shipment of Stan bobble heads to the back.
"Fine I guess I'll make Soos do it!" Stan yelled at her.
"Hey, Wendy!" Dipper said.
"Hey, dork," she replied, still texting.
"Watcha doin?" Dipper said, in a sing song voice.
"Texting. What does it look like dweeb?" she said.
"I don't know?" Dipper said, then he giggled. Wait, giggled? Maybe Mabel was rubbing off on him.
Wendy rolled her eyes, and texted faster than before.
Dipper sighed, and took the keys to the Mystery Shack's golf cart. he felt the need to do some exploring. As he was walking out the door he took out his book from the woods. He flipped through the pages, and found nothing that he felt like finding. He jumped in the cart, that Grunkle Stan had no doubt stolen, and rode into the forest. He thought he saw the face of Shumbulock, the gnome, and stepped on the gas. Then, he saw a pond that he had never seen before.
"There is something strange about this pond. I don't know whether to stay or go," Dipper thought in his weird narrating way.
The thing that happened next would haunt Dipper until a more disturbing thing happened. And it would probably involve Mabel.
It was silent as Dipper was making a list of pros and cons. Of course that was before he heard something, possibly a person, scream, "Corn chips!"
Dipper freaked out so much that he fell into the pond, head first. He swallowed a gulp of pond water before swimming to the surface. He was pretty sure he swallowed a fish. He was ready to get out of there, but when he tried to get the keys, he couldn't find them. He turned just in time to see the keys sink in the pond. He smacked his forehead, and tried to think how he could use a squirrel to get the keys back.
"Hey, Dipper!" Mabel suddenly yelled behind him.
"Ahhh!" Dipper yelled, and almost fell back in the pond. Again.
"Ohhh! A mysterious and murky pond!" The sweater wearing twelve year-old said.
"You really shouldn't yell food items in these woods, Mabel," Dipper said.
"What could it hurt?" she asked, while picking up a random beetle.
"A lot of things," he said, swatting the beetle out of her hand.
"Did you mention corn chips?" a voice said, out of no where.
Simultaneously Dipper screamed, and Mabel said, "Why yes, we did, well mainly me."
The twins turned to the source of the voice. Dipper gasped, and Mabel thought, "Please know a vampire. Please know a vampire." The voice came from a girl that was Wendy's age. She had long blonde hair, and clear, blue eyes. They seemed to sparkle with excitement. A blue t-shirt and jeans, complimented by black sunglasses on her head.
Dipper forgot all about Wendy when he saw this girl. "Aba, caba, nawww," was all he could say.
"So you like corn chips?" Mabel asked, while pulling out a bedazzler, and bedazzling her skirt.
"Oh, yes!" the girl said, "I like all food besides fish." She made a face at the last sentence.
"How come?" Mabel said, as she twirled around the girl.
"It was all I ate before I came here," she replied, "It was pretty much fish for breakfast, lunch, and dinner."
"That must be horrible," Mabel said, now looking at the girl's clothes, "I hate fish."
"Me too!" Dipper said while wondering, "Aren't we learning a lot about this girl, without learning her name?"
"I'm Mabel," Mabel said, almost reading Dipper's thoughts, "And this is Dipper." Then she whispered to the girl, "He's a little out of it."
"Well, I'm Marissa," the blonde said, as she winked at Dipper.
"Ahh...ahhh..." Dipper managed to say, or sorta say.
Mabel grabbed Marissa by the hand, and pulled her toward the golf cart. "You can come to the Mystery Shack! We'll give you corn chips, and you can meet Soos! He was trying to put a hamster up his nose!"
"Sorry to break your heart, but I dropped the keys in that pond," Dipper said, pointing to the weird pond.
Mabel went up to Dipper, and slapped him on the cheek, "You nutcorn! Why would you do that?"
"Cause you screamed things about food items!" Dipper screamed back.
"Oh, man up!"
"Says the one wearing a sweater with a rainbow and unicorn on it"
Then the twins heard a splash, and saw Marissa come up from the water with the keys.
"What?" Dipper said.
"Whohoo!" Mabel screamed, while fist-pumping the air.
"Do you not know how to swim? Cause I could teach you. You start by..." Marissa said.
"We know how to swim!" Dipper yelled.
As Mabel called shotgun, and Marissa climbed in the back, Dipper thought, "There was something off about Marissa. She didn't seem very wet after diving into the pond, and we didn't even hear her go in. I'll have to investigate again."
Once they had gotten back to the Mystery Shack, Marissa ate the whole bag of corn chips. Plus a two liter of Pitt Cola. And a five foot sub. It was a club. The twins, and the still hungry blonde then laughed as Soos ran around screaming, "There's a hamster in my nose! There's a hamster in my nose! Get it out! Get it out!" Then Mabel and Dipper went to introduce Marissa to Stan.
He was doing a tour, and was at the end of it, "And this is a mermaid skeleton." Marissa gasped, and backed up. Into Wendy.
"Ahh! I hate my job!" Wendy screamed as papers, she once held, fluttered around her.
"Oops! I'm sorry!" Marissa said, turning around.
"You better be!" Wendy screamed, pulling out her phone.
Soos suddenly appeared, and whispered to Mabel, "Twenty bucks on Wendy."
Mabel replied back, "You're on!" While smacking down a twenty.
"Hey, I said I was sorry!" Marissa said.
"Well you should watch where you're going!" Wendy screamed back.
As the two teenagers bickered, a young adventurer was thinking about what he read earlier, "Pickle juice helps with hair loss." Then, he thought about what he read in the book he found in the woods, "All fights never end." He figured that the writer had a long standing feud, not just something small like Wendy and Marissa's fight. Yet, this would probably still last awhile, so he sat down.
Then, Marissa saw Wendy's phone and gasped. She gasps a lot.
"What? Don't know what a phone is?" Wendy said, holding the phone in Marissa's face.
Marissa cowered away, and said, "I know what a phone is! Come on Mabel!"
Mabel said, "We'll settle this later," to Soos. Then, Marissa grabbed Mabel by the arm, and pulled her out the door.
"I thought something fishy was going on. Marissa seemed to hate the phone's reflective surface. She also just left, in the middle of an argument with Wendy. Thirdly, How did Soos get that hamster out of his nose? And last, but very worrying, where is she taking my sister?" Dipper thought.
The answer was... the parking lot!
Marissa was pacing, and mumbling, "Ughh... I hate that girl."
"Do you like Dipper?" Mabel asked, out of the blue.
"What? No, I've known him for about an hour," Marissa replied, still pacing.
Mabel was silent. She was remembering the gnome incident.
So naturally, Marissa began mumbling again, "Hate...reflective...phone...Wendy!"
Meanwhile Dipper went to talk to Soos.
"Hey, do you know where I can find some mirrors?" Dipper asked.
"Sure," Soos said, while unplugging a toilet, "Stan has my mirror suit."
"Um... thanks?" Dipper replied, walking backwards.
After exploring the house, Dipper finally found Grunkle Stan in the gift shop. He was, of course, counting money. He was pretty focused on the money. By focused I meant really focused.
"Grunkle Stan? Grunkle Stan? Grunkle Stan!" Dipper yelled. Before Stan actually looked at him.
"What?" Stan yelled back.
"Where is your suit of mirrors?" Dipper questioned.
"It's in the kitchen."
"Thanks."
"Humph."
As Dipper walked to the kitchen he still was wondering where Marissa and Mabel were.
In the kitchen Dipper saw the suit, and put it on. Of course it was to big, so he tripped quite a bit. He even had to lean on the fridge. He accidentally pulled on the handle, and opened the fridge.
What he saw, or actually didn't see, startled him. The fridge was empty. He gasped, and almost passed out.
He went outside, now on a serious mission, but tripped a lot. It wasn't that graceful, especially when Soos's hamster went in his pants. Somehow he got to the parking lot, and saw Mabel and Marissa.
Marissa screamed, and hid behind a log. Mabel said, "What is that! Can I have it?"
"Marissa is an eat-a-holic, and has some sort of problem!" Dipper yelled.
"What? I don't have a problem!" Marissa said, suddenly jumping up.
"Oh? Yeah! Well..." Dipper started, before he fell, on top of Marissa. He pulled on her feet. And they came off.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" Mabel yelled, running in circles. Like that will get her any where.
"Why do you have a tail?" Dipper asked and screamed, looking at her tail.
"I might be a mermaid," Marissa said.
"You're a mermaid?" Dipper and Mabel said at the same time.
"Cool!" Mabel said.
"Why me?" Dipper asked. Then he paused to think, "I can't have this girl or mermaid eating all my food! That's for me! I'm growing!" So he said, "Well you can't have my food!"
"Nooooo!" she yelled. Hit a nerve, Dipper, hit a nerve.
"Well feel my reflective surfaces!" Dipper yelled!
"You know I can look away, right?" Marissa said, looking away.
"I, uh, didn't think of that," Dipper said, rubbing the back of his neck.
"I can make her look this way!" Mabel said, pulling out a wedding cake.
"Why do you have a wedding cake?" Dipper asked, suddenly off the idea of defeating Marissa.
"It's a secret," Mabel said, while laughing like a maniac.
"Cake!" Marissa screamed, turning toward the cake.
"Now, feel my reflective surfaces!"
"Ahhhh!" Marissa yelled, as she ran away.
"Well that was fast," Dipper said.
"Unicorns!" Mabel said.
After the incident with Marissa, Dipper was ready for bed. He went upstairs and pulled out his book from the woods. He wrote in it, "This book told me that all fights never end, but my sister taught me that stupid feuds over corn chips can end." He looked over to the optimistic girl, who was knitting another sweater, and smiled.
The door opened a crack, and Grunkle Stan's head came into view. He walked in, and rubbing the back of his neck said, "I deceided to say goodnight tonight. So, goodnight. But don't expect it again."
"Ummm... goodnight?" Dipper offered.
Mabel went up and hugged him before saying, "May the night be good."
Stan was still freaked out by this little girl, so he ducked out of the room.
Dipper returned to his book, while writing down his own notes by the old ones. Mabel found a disturbing looking doll by her bed, and was trying to fix it's hair.
Then he heard a creak from downstairs.
"What was that Mabel?" Dipper asked his twin.
"I don't know, maybe Grunkle Stan is emptying the vending machine? Or buying me thread!"
Oh, Mabel, you were close enough. Stan was entering his secret cave behind the vending machine. The only thing he didn't know was that Wendy saw the whole thing.
