Hello my faithful readers! So I decided, with some help from dear friend on here, that I would transfer all of my old fanfics from Wattpad over to here to see how they would. A little warning, I wrote this messy thing when I was a freshman in high school, so it's probably not as good as my other stories will be. But just try to enjoy as best as you can, please? Enjoy!

Chapter One: Dipper's Provincial Life
~Dipper's POV~
It has been five years since Weirdmageddon and since Bill Cipher was defeated by the town of Gravity Falls. Five years since my sister and I decided to stay in Gravity Falls with our Grunkles Stan and Ford.
Everything's changed since Bill was defeated. The town of Gravity Falls was rebuilt and everyone was loving their peaceful everyday lives once again. Some have moved out of the town, however. Things had changed, for better and for worse. For example: Robbie and Wendy had gotten married.
However, Soos, Ford, and Stan hadn't changed at all. Soos was still crazy and childlike, but he was now married to Melody. Ford and Stan were still different and acted like twins, but their relationship was the same.
Mabel hadn't changed either. Mabel was still crazy and silly, but she was now in love with Pacifica. However, she still hadn't told her yet.
As for me, Mason "Dipper" Pines, I was still the same boy when I was twelve: A bookworm, a nerd, a geek, and an awkward teenager. But I was the only one who wasn't in a relationship or living my normal life.
Anyway, today was now Monday and Mabel and I were busy working at the Mystery Shack. But it was now owned by Stan and Ford together. We were helping out by cleaning and rearranging all the materials. However, I was still reading my book, 'Beauty and the Beast.'
"Wow... Amazing... Oh, I didn't know that!" I mumbled to myself, turning the page of the book.
Mabel soon saw me and grinned, running over towards me and screaming, "BEAUTY AND THE BEAST!"
I jumped and dropped my book, groaning. "Mabel! I'm trying to read!"
She only giggled. "But bro! I'm bored and plus, I'm all finished."
I nodded and sat down on the counter. "Good. More time to read!"
She soon looked at my book. "Bro-bro, why are you reading Beauty and the Beast when we can watch it?"
I chuckled and sat my book down, knowing it'll take a long time to explain it to her. "Because this is the original version. Where it didn't have singing and dancing."
Mabel only pouted. "That doesn't sound like fun!"
I only rolled my eyes. "Mabel, reading is exactly fun. Hey, Grunkle Stan!" I called, spotting Stan walking into the room wearing his black suit, "Isn't reading fun?"
He blinked and rubbed his chin. "Hmmmm... It all depends, Dipper. If you're reading magazines with hot chicks, then it's fun!"
I sighed and soon felt a hand on my shoulder. It was Ford, wearing his famous trench coat and glasses. "Don't listen to them, Dipper. Reading can be fun. It allows the mind to scatter and wonder into worlds far beyond our own."
I smiled softly. "Thanks, Grunkle Ford." I could always get good advice from Ford when no one else could understand.
"Oh! Grunkle Ford! How's my science project coming along?" Mabel asked, coming over to our second great uncle.
"It's going perfectly well, Mabel! You're going to win the Science Fair indeed!" Ford cheered.
"What did you make, little dudette?" Soos asked, coming out of the vending machine.
"I made a machine that makes any writing into pink glitter!" She cheered.
I chuckled and patted her back. "Mabel, you will definitely win. I'm sure of it." I actually meant it. If she put a lot of effort into it, that's all that mattered.
"Thanks, bro! I wanna see it!" She cheered, running towards to Ford's lab.
"Mabel, wait! It's dangerous down there!" He called, running after my twin sister.
I chuckled and got back to reading. As I read, I started to think of myself as Beauty. We're both hard working and we both read so much. But she has a Beast, and I have books and my family.
"Hey Dipper! Your "boyfriend" is here." Stan warned me, looking over at the man that entered the Shack. I groaned and rolled my eyes. It was Gideon Gleeful.
He certainly changed: He was more arrogant, self centered, and powerful than ever. Ever since Bud Gleeful became mayor after Tyler did, Gideon has acted like he's the top dog of the town. Plus, he also came out as gay and believes that him and I belong together.
"Well, well, well. If it ain't my lovely Little Dipper." Gideon said, walking towards me as he adjusted his baby blue jacket. He wore a white shirt, a baby blue jacket, baby blue jeans, and white sneakers. He also got a new amulet, but it was just for show.
I rolled my eyes and continued to read. "Hello Gideon. Your hair is bigger today."
"Thank you, my dear Dippy." He said, obviously ignoring my attitude. He soon took my book out of my hands.
"Gideon, give me my book!" I tried to take it back, but he put his hands above his head.
"How can your read this, sugar? There's no pictures!" He complained, scrolling through the pages.
"Well, some people like to use their imaginations." I barked, soon taking it out of his hands roughly.
"Dipper, hon, it's about time you got your head out of those books and paid attention to more important things." He grinned, showing off his pearly white teeth.
I only rolled my eyes, putting my nose back in my book. I wasn't going to be fooled by his charm because Mabel and I knew better. He was still the same when we were children, only having a crush on me. "No thanks, Gideon."
I heard him sigh. "Dipper, everyone's talking about you being gay now."
I shrugged, not caring if everyone knew. Yes, I did come out as gay and at first, I was scared. But when Mabel, Stan, Ford, Soos, and Wendy were alright with it, I soon didn't care about what other people thought. "So? I don't care."
"It's just not right for a man not to have another man by his side." He continued.
"Gideon, I'm fine with being single for now. I'll find a man when I'm ready." I replied and tried to ignore him again.
Gideon grinned. "And I'll be waiting when you do. So, what do you say we go to my house and look at my trophies?"
Stan soon got annoyed and went between the both of us. "Look, you little runt, the boy said no and he means no! So either buy something or scram!"
Gideon only chuckled. "Alrighty, Stanley. Goodbye, my Dipper." He bowed, blew me a kiss once he stood up, and left the Shack.
I sighed and looked up at Stan. "Thanks for that, Stan. I'm sorry he always does that to me."
He shrugged. "It's okay. No one messes with my great nephew. And don't worry about finding a man, he'll come to you in time."
I smiled and gave him a hug. Stan may have been stubborn and an exact copy of Mr. Krabs from Spongebob, but I knew that he cared for Mabel and I.
He hugged back for a second but then quickly got out of the hug. "Okay, okay. Don't do anything you might regret, kid."
Soon, Mabel and Ford came back upstairs with Mabel's invention. It was small with a sprinkle pen. "Are you sure you won't need any help getting to the fair?" Ford asked her.
She chuckled. "Don't worry, Uncle Ford! I'll be fine." She soon went outside in the cold September air.
I followed behind her, zipping up my blue jacket and putting up my hood on my head as I saw her putting her invention in the wagon. "You okay, Mabel?"
She nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just really nervous. What if it doesn't work, Dipper?"
I only chuckled. "Mabel, you'll do awesome! You'll even win first prize!" I cheered her on.
She soon smiled widely and gave me a tight hug. "Thanks, bro bro! Promise to take care of Waddles, okay?" She said as we gave an Awkward Sibling Hug.
I waved to her and smiled. "Bye Mabel! Good luck!" I called to her as she ran off with her wagon behind her. I went back inside as I watched her run off.
So what did you all think? I know it's kind of a short beginning, but it's just a small set up of what's gonna come next in the next chapter. I promise that the next chapter it will get crazy. So make sure that you all fav, follow, and even comment. I'll see you guys soon. Bye bye! For now!
