Writer's Note: This was actually a role play I've been doing with a close friend.. I know this might seem a bit different from my other stories, but I felt that by doing this, it would add more to the story.. This story might also get a bit dark, so to those who are easily disturbed, don't say I didn't warn you.. (Rated for violence)

Prologue

The sun was shining brightly down above as Dipper got off the bus, his backpack and suitcase by his side as he looked around, eager to see...Wendy. Where oh where could she be?

There was a creaking noise from above in a nearby tree as Wendy swung down, hanging upside-down as she held herself up by her legs.
"Hey, man!" she smiled warmly.

Dipper grinned in delight, racing over to her, hugging her as Mabel also got off the bus behind him. "Wendy! I'm so glad to see you!"

"I'm glad to see ya too." Wendy chuckled, returning the hug from upside down.

"Wendy!" Mabel cheered, joining the hug. "It's been FOREVER since we've seen you!"

She soon smiled knowingly at Dipper.

"You know Dipper was the most excited? He would go on and on about seeing you again."

Dipper blushed deeply at this, rubbing the back of his neck. "Well, uh, y'know, just...got so much to tell you!" he said. It was HALF true...

Wendy chuckled a little.

"Cool.. Hey, how good are you guys at climbing? I gotta show you something."

Wendy soon let go and using her leg muscles, flipped herself right side up and began to climb up the tree.

"C'MON, Dipper!" Mabel smiled excitedly.

Mabel then jumped onto the large truck of the tree and started climbing up behind Wendy.

Dipper grinned, racing after her, trying to climb up. He cringed a bit, trying to lift himself up via one tree limb after the other.

"OOOF! OOOOOF!"

Noticing Dipper's struggle, Wendy turned, made her way back down, and grabbed his arm, using her other hand to hang onto the branch above her. She then swung him up onto the same branch she was hanging onto and began her ascent back up the tree.

Dipper blushed a bit. Feeling Wendy touch him made his cheeks flush. "Uh, th-thanks!" He stammered out, following after her, now doing much better at climbing than before.

Soon, Wendy stopped climbing and looked over at Dipper and Mabel as she sat in the large crook of the branches. From their vantage-point, it was easy to see the entire town of Gravity Falls. The midmorning sun seemed to cast the perfect amount of light onto the town, giving it an almost angelic glow.

At last, Dipper reached the spot where she was, seeing her caught by the light, his eyes wide, his mouth agape before he looked out over the expanse.

"...have you ever seen anything so beautiful?" he asked quietly.

Wendy smiled, thinking Dipper was talking about the view.

"Heh, yeah.. I like to come up here to think.. I mean, the roof of the shack is fun and all, but you can actually see EVERYTHING from up here..

Mabel smiled knowingly at Dipper.

"Oh, I think he's seeing more than just the sun-rise.."

Dipper blushed a bit then tried to regroup.

"Oh, yes, like...the view of the town! And...the mountains! And the forests, it's all REALLY beautiful from up here! Just...everything's so beautiful!" he insisted quickly.

Mabel giggled as she saw her brother blushing, covering her mouth with her hands.

"I know right? That's why I'm usually up here in the morning.. You know.. When I'm not having to be working in the shack." Wendy smiled

As she turned to look at Dipper, the sun's light caught on her face and in her hair.

Dipper was deeply blushing as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"So, uh...anything happen while me and Mabel were out?" he wanted to know. "Anything really weird?"

"Well, actually.. Not really that much.." Wendy shrugged. "I mean, aside from an occasional sighting of weird gnomes.. I hadn't really seen anything.."

"UGH! I thought we were DONE with those little creeps.." Mabel groaned in disgust.

" ACTUALLY.. I just remembered something!" Wendy stated suddenly "Remember Robbie? He's been acting a bit weirder than usual.."

Dipper looked a bit surprised, tilting his head slightly. "Really? How so?" He wanted to know.

" I've notice him sneaking around town lately.." Wendy replied, turning back toward the sunrise. "I'd see him talking in some weird language to somebody just out of sight..

"That IS weird!" Dipper realized aloud. "We should go investigate that!" he insisted, slamming his fist into his palm.

Wendy nodded with a determined look on her face.

"Let's do this!"

As quick as Wendy could, she began swinging herself down toward the ground, using the branches like a gymnast would with horizontal bars until she made it to the ground.

Dipper, in turn, began to slide down the tree. Hitting, of course, several tree branches as he did so.

"OWOWOWOW! OWIE! Darn it. Wait up, I'm coming, I'm coming!"

Mabel followed behind them, using her grappling hook to get down. On the ground, Wendy turned and saw Dipper struggling down the tree.
"Dude! Are you okay?"she asked, becoming concerned

Dipper finally landed on the grass, cringing as he picked out some splinters from his frame.

"Y-Yeah, I'm okay!" He insisted with a nervous chuckle. "Just, uh...not used to tree climbing." he confessed. "Lead the way!" he told Wendy as Mabel chuckled a bit.

Wendy soon moved over to him.

"Here.."

Wendy then started helping Dipper pull out some of the splinters. After she finished her chuckling, Mabel started to help as well. Soon most of the large splinters were out. Soon, they headed into town.

After a while of walking, Wendy stopped. She ducked behind one of the buildings as she spotted Robbie close to an alley. She saw that Tambry was leaving and noticed Robbie standing alone.

Robbie glanced around and soon began to speak to someone hidden in the dark alley. He was saying something in some unusual language.

Wendy's eyes went wide as she saw him nod before turning to a wall and spray painting something on the brick. The image looked to be that of a single eye crossed off with a large red X.

Dipper and Mabel hid behind Wendy as Dipper's eyes slowly went wide. That big, singular eye. It...it couldn't be...

...could it?

BILL CIPHER?!

Wendy ducked behind the building with Dipper and Mabel as Robbie glanced around to see if he was being followed.

"Guys.. I.. I think I know.." Wendy stated after a moment. "Remember when we were looking for that McGucket guy? The big 'X' over that eye is just like the one that journal mentioned.."

"It DOES, doesn't it?" Dipper murmured. "Alright. Let's just keep REAL QUIET...and follow him. As long as we're careful, he won't see us!"

Wendy nodded and while keeping to the shadows, began her way after Robbie as he walked down the street. Mabel followed close behind her. They soon stopped and ducked behind a wall as Robbie turned to look for anyone who could be watching him. After seeing no one there, Robbie made his way into the museum of history.

Dipper nodded as all of them inched closer and closer, following after Robbie, going into the museum, all of the lights seemingly off as Dipper held a finger up to his mouth.

"SHHHH. Keep quiet!"

As they made their way through the old museum, Wendy could see the mining displays had been tampered with, indicating the museum hadn't bothered to fix them since the last time they had been there.

"Man, I'm surprised they haven't fixed this stuff yet..." Dipper thought to himself as they kept slinking quietly through the museum. The air was oddly stale and still, and a cold, unnatural breeze seemed to be blowing through the museum...

Mabel shuddered as she followed behind them. Wendy glanced around the room. As they made their way through the museum, they did not notice a figure following behind them. Wendy let out a pained grunt as something blunt hit the back of her head and she fell to the floor with a loud thump.

"Ah! Wendy!?" Dipper cried out, he and Mabel twisting around to see what had happened.

Wendy was knocked unconscious. Before Mabel could scream, something hit her in the head from behind and she felt to the floor before Dipper was also struck in the head.

"No..." Dipper moaned, flopping backwards, falling into unconsciousness...
