Chapter 1

Mabel-Dipper, we're almost there

Dipper- I can't wait to see everyone again

M-What do you think they've been doing without us

D-I guess we'll find out. Look, there's the sign! Welcome to Gravity Falls!

M-We're back Dipper! Waddles look! You get to see Grunckle Stan again!

Bus Driver-We're almost there kids... and pig. (I really hope those uncles of theirs don't threaten me again.)

M-Hurry, hurry! This bus ride is taking forever.

D-Ow! Mabel calm down. How much sugar did you eat?

M-A million dipfulls!

D-Oh boy.

Bus Driver-Alright kids this is your stop. Have a great summer.

M-Thanks Mr Bus Man!

Bus Driver-Steve, you can call me Steve.

D-See you later Steve. Thanks for the ride.

Bus Driver-No problem kid.

They get off and the bus leaves with everyone running to hug each other.

Grunkle Stan and Grunkle Ford- Kids!

D and M-Grunkle Stan!, Grunkle Ford!

GS-Do you know how much trouble you two cause me? I missed you guys.

GF-Dipper, Mabel, it's great to have you back.

D-Not that I'm not thrilled to see you and Stan but, where's everyone else?

GF-They're back at the Shack waiting for you two

GS-and they've been trying to not lose their minds with excitement all day.

M-Well let's go!

GS-Alright, alright.

The four walk back holding hands with Grunkle Stan having tears in his eyes and Grunkle Ford not being able to atop smiling.

Dipper and Mabel were missed.

As they look out the window, they see not much has changed.

The water tower was still standing, the town was quiet but not too quiet, and the town itself was just as they left it. One thing was off though, no one was walking around.

D-That's weird.

M-What's wrong bro bro?

D-no one is walking around.

GS-When I said everyone was at the shack, I wasn't joking. I really meant everyone.

Dipper and Mabel smiled and Dipper took out the note Wendy gave him at the end of the summer before.

GF-You still have that Dipper?

D-Yeah, I'm never getting rid of it.

M-It's true! Dipper takes it everywhere!

GS-Ha! Kids. We're almost there! Get ready to have your spines shattered.

D-There's no where I'd rather be.

M-I can't wait to see them.

Mabel grabs Dipper and shakes him.

M-Dipper! I'm going crazy! I'm so excited!

D-Chill out Mabel, we're almost there.

They turn the last corner and see the shack.

D and M-Wow!

D-The shack's had an upgrade.

M-that spot on the roof is still there too!

GF- Stan and I spruced the shack up a bit after our trip. We'll tell you all about it later on. Promise.

M-Let's go see. Come on Waddles!

Mabel puts her hand on the door and looks at Dipper.

He nods at her and she nods back.

They both grab the knob and turn it together.

The door opens and it's completely emerged in darkness.

M-Turn the light on Dipper.

Dipper turns the light on and the whole town is there.

Everyone-Surprise!

M-Candy! Grenda!

D-Wendy! Soos!

Soos-Dipper, dude! We missed you guys so much.

Wendy-Hey Dip! Hat trade!

D- Thanks Wendy.

Grenda-Mabel I missed you.

Candy-The trio is back again.

M-Hugs! I missed you guys too.

Pacifica-Dipper, you're back!

Pacifica runs and hugs Dipper.

D-Pacifica!?

M-You're happy to see us?

Pacifica hugs Mabel.

P-Well yeah. You saved the town. You saved me, twice. Then your Uncles and Wendy helped my family get a new house. We finally live like normal people now!

D-You're happy about that?

P-Well, it took some getting used to but I guess I was always meant to live this way. My parents were horrified, but they've accepted it, even if they only accepted it two months ago.

D-This will take some getting used to.

M-Yeah. You were always mean to us. Well, almost always.

P-I know and that's why I'll spend as long as it takes to make it up to you.

D-You know, I don't know why, but I believe you.

P-Thanks Dipper.

McGucket -Howdy finger lickin' Bangos. Dipper and Mabel.

M-Hey Mcgucket. How's the mansion life treating you.

D-Mabel?

M-Oh. Oops, sorry Pacifica. I didn't mean it like that.

P-It's ok. I know.

Mc-I have tons of room to conduct experiments and research and I even whipped up something that could give me my mind back.

M-Mcgucket, that's amazing!

D-I'd like to help you with that.

Mc-Thank you Dipper.

M-I made you a macaroni necklace. Here.

Mc-That's mighty kind of you Mabel.

M-Yay! You're welcome.

S-Hey dudes! I made enough victory nachos for eveyone!

Lady Susan -and I made pies!

GS-Did you make blueberry ones?

LS-I sure did. I made a lot of flavors.

W-Let's eat!

Melody -Hey guys! Sorry I'm late. I brought cake!

S-Hey babe! Let me help you with that.

Mel-Oh Soos. Thanks sugar bear, you're so sweet.

D and M-Hi Melody!

Mel-Hey you two! I missed you both. Let's go eat.

Everyone gets there food and sits down together.

D-Hey Tad Strange!

Tad Strange - Hello Dipper. It's been a while. Tell Mabel I said hello ok?

D- Sure.

Dipper walks over to Mabel.

D-Mabel, Tad Strange said to tell you hello.

M- Cool. He's still here.

D- Haha yeah. Everyone just can't get enough of Gravity Falls and neither can I.

M- Count me in two. I don't know what I would do without this place of ultimate weirdness.

D- Home away from home.

Grunkle Ford taps his glass.

*tap, tap, tap*

GF-Hey everyone listen up.

Gid-Hey ya'll be quiet.

D-Giddeon? GIDDEON! Hey!

Gid-Oh, Dipper and Mabel. There ya'll are.

M-Hi Giddeon.

Gid-Hey Mabel. You still have Waddles I see. Here pig, have some corn.

GF-Em heh.

Gid-Oh, Ford. My apologies. Go on.

GF - Thank you. This is something I've been waiting a year to do. Everyone raise your glasses in a toast to Dipper and Mabel. A year ago today is when these two started there journey to save all of Gravity Falls. Dipper and Mabel, you are heroes right along my brother, your uncle, Grunkle Stan. We love you all. To the Mystery Twins.

All - To the Mystery Twins.

GS -Oh, and one more thing. Dipper and Mabel Ford and I have gifts for you.

D-You didn't have to do that.

GF-We know

GS-but we did this anyways.

The uncles hand each one a gift.

Grunkle Stan gave one to Mabel.

Grunkle Ford gave one to Dipper.

W-Open it man.

D-Ok, ok.

Dipper and Mabel open their gifts.

M-Grunkle Stan, you made this sweater for me?

GS-Yeah. It took a few tries though. Making those is harder than it looks.

M-Oh thank you, thank you, thank you, Grunkle Stan!

GS-You're welcome Mabel.

The two hugged laughing together.

D-It's... It's a journal!

GF-Your very own journal. There is still Gravity Falls weirdness to be explored. Between you and me, we've memorized all three of my journals. I think it's about time you had the chance to record in your own journal.

D-I don't know what to say except

Dipper runs and hugs Ford.

D-Thank you. I'll make you proud.

GF-You already have, but I get it.

W-Dipper that's so cool! You'll need a bigger team to take on the weirdness. A little help goes a long way.

D-Haha yeah. I will, and I think I know just who to talk to.
