"No one can stop me, for I'm in control. I'll shot down the shooting star I'll break the mighty pine,

Those who made me burn are blind to me. No one can stop me, for I'm in control.

Pledge your allegiance to me and the shooting star will be left alive"

~A somewhat high-pinched voice, sang in a slow yet cheery rhythm.

Dipper jolts awake, panting and covered in sweat. Dippers heart is pumping at a speed, that would make a cheetah jealous.
These kinds of dreams were becoming a rare thing. Though the last 6 months, he had had these dreams more frequently, this one definitely seemed different.
Normally these kind of dreams would be longer, vivid and seemingly random, this... this was to structured, too linear, almost staged.
Eyes darting around the place, he realize, that his twin is nowhere in sight.

" I'll shot down the shooting star" Rings like an ice-cold echo in his head.

Dipper jumps out of bed, and throw himself towards the door. He crash through it, causing him to collide with something, sending both tumbling to the ground.

Mabel's P.O.V.

"Ouch!" I gasped for air, as someone came tumbling out the door, knocking us both to the ground.
Blinking a few times, I see my brothers cap, lay on the ground and the messy brown hair, that is blocking my view.

I know, who had crash landed on me, and realize he must have missed me.
Aww how cute, but I thought he would be asleep, for at least a few more hours, when I went to buy some candy, to celebrate the good news.

I throw my arms around Dipper and yell " Awkward sibling hug"

"Whoa, Mabel." Dipper exclaim, but then proceeds by joining our awkward hug and patting me on the back, mumbling "Pat" with me.

Laughingly we both stand up. Seizing the opportunity, I grab his cap and sprint out in the kitchen, as Dipper quickly catch on and run after me, chasing me around the kitchen table.
I can't help but to laugh, evidently loosing speed. Dipper see this as his chance and once again tackles me.

"Okay Dipper, I surrender, I surrender" I giggle. With a triumphal grin he take his cap on, still sitting on me, keeping me from getting up.

"What? get of me, you're heavy Dipstick" I complain laughingly and tries rocking him off.

"Not before you tell me, what this is." Dipper commands happily, as he hold out a letter, marked on its front that it is from Gravity Falls.

"That's the good news I wanted to tell you, I mean, I haven`t opened it yet, but I`m sure it`s good news.
Normally Soos and Stand each sends us a postcard after summer, right? But this one came before summer,
do you know what that might mean?"
I practically yell in delight being so hyped, because I already have thought it through several times,
only coming up with one possible answer.

"No, and how would you know if it is good news, when we haven't even opened it yet?" Dipper tease me with his brows raised,
he hits me with the envelope. I think I see a slight glimmer of hope in those eyes. He is hoping it's good new, just as much as me.

We go to the kitchen table to open the envelope.

We sit down at the table, and just stare at the letter. Obviously, my brother has way too many thoughts, about the possible reasons,
as to why, they would send a letter, so much earlier than usually. So, I do the only logical thing, I snatch the letter, out of his waiting fingers,
bobbing his nose in the progress, then quickly open it. To my amusement, my brother`s eyes widen,
his jawline tightens and his brows frown slightly a bit inwards. He fishes his pen out of his pocket and starts clicking it, he`s just as nervous as me.

Adding a little to the theatrical mood, I clear my throat before reading out-loud, earning myself a light nudge on the shoulder,
urging me to stop and just read, so I start.

^^ Duuuddeee! you guys will never guess what happened! Melody is pregnant. We will be throwing a party in the Mystery Shack.
We would like you guys to come and celebrate with us. Dude we have invited Stan-ley & -ford, they have promised to come tomorrow!.
You can all stay in the Mystery Shack, come on man, it would make us soooooo happy, I need my best buddies around to celebrate.
Come at the start of your summer break, or as soon as possible. We'll have your attic room ready. Seeyah dudes ^^

"Really, that's so great for Soos. Hey Melody, wasn't that the girl we set him up with, when that anime girl,
Soos was virtually dating, attacked us?"
Dipper absentminded asks me, his head already submerged in thoughts,
trying to remember every detail about Melody, continuously clicking his annoying pen.

I playfully kick him, to gain his attention."Hey Sir Dipping-sauce, did you even hear a word, I just said?" I ask,
allowing my disappointment to be clear in my tone

"Oh, Sorry Mabel, I guess I just got a little caught up there" Dipper answered yet his eyes clearly state, that something else was bothering his mind.

"It's okay, I miss them too. All this time and not a single note.
I mean, I understand that they are out on their boat, but seriously, they could at least have sent a message in a bottle.
I'm sure Mermando wouldn't mind bringing it here. Hey cheer up, they will be there and we'll finally be back together, all of us.
Why don't we go and pack our bags? That way we'll be able to leave right after school on the last day"
I ramble on, when I finish, I see Dipper staring at me a huge grin on his face. Then he sees I`m looking and he shakes his head, still grinning.

"Mabel, the last day before summer break is Friday, that's in 3 days, packing won't get us there faster." Dipper replies & teasingly kick my leg,
which results in a full-blown war the rest of the evening. That is, until our parents came back and reminds us of our homework.

I didn't say this to dipper, because he already had quite a lot to think about, but I had the eerily idea that someone was watching us, but no matter where I checked, I couldn't find anything. So we both went to bed, I think Dipper was still awake, as I saw something move around, before I went out like a light.
