It's hard to believe that it's been five years since Mabel and I left Gravity Falls. Seemed like yesterday we were both kids exploring all of town's mysteries with my Great Uncle Ford's journal. Now we were 17 going on 18 and getting ready for when we go to college, and the place I hoped to work at was the Institute of Oddiology: the place my Great Uncle had founded.
For the summer break, we decided we'd head back to Gravity Falls for old time sake and check out the institute. When we arrived, I was amazed at everything I saw. Everyone in their lab coats gathering information and computers and other technology decking the entire building. I felt like a kid in a candy store. Sadly, this candy store had its stale chocolate bar with white powder.
Old Man McGucket was there giving the tour; still wearing his hat and overalls, but this time with a lab coat.
"Oh, and Dipper, Mabel, I'm sure y'all would recognize one of our new interns."
My jaw dropped when I saw Robbie, THE Robbie, in a lab coat inside the institute.
"Whats up?"
I saw he hadn't grown out of his emo/goth phase (You'd think he'd move on and become a Yuppie like his parents). His black dyed hair had gotten longer, his skin paler, and was wearing a spiked collar that would look better on a bulldog than on his skinny neck, all clashing with his white lab coat.
"Robert here has been helping with cipher codebreaking and paranormal negotiations."
"Wait, so how did he land a job here? Is he some sort of idiot savant or something."
"Clinically, yes. Also, I've known this place longer than any of you here."
"Turns out being a pathological liar helped him from getting brainwashed by the Society of the Blind eye." said McGucket, "Now he's our top expert of Gravity falls, right next to your great uncle of course."
I found that hard to believe that Robbie was so high up when it came to his contributions.
"Okay. If you know so much about Gravity Falls, what do unicorns use their horns for?"
"To glow, point at the nearest rainbow, and play rave music. Also, they're real jerks."
"Hey, he got it right!" exclaimed Mabel.
"Well then who is the cosmic being that created this world?"
"A giant axolotl."
"He got it right again!"
"Okay, no. I refuse to accept you're that knowledgable about the mysteries of Gravity Falls. You didn't even know what the Cold War was."
"Hey, just because I have a learning disability, it doesn't mean I don't know nothing."
"You mean to say 'don't know ANYTHING'." I smirked. "Grammar, Robbie."
"I'LL GRAMMAR YOU!"
Robbie was about to attack when McGucket stepped in and stopped him.
"Save the ho-down for when it's needed, Robbie."
Robbie grunted and left.
"Well, I hope y'all enjoyed the tour."
I would've enjoyed it more if Robbie weren't working here.
