Back to Gravity Falls
Chapter 1
Dippers POV
The scenery flew by in a green blur, showing how close we were to the end of our journey. I turned away from the forestry landscape to look at Mabel, it didn't take long for her attention to shift from Wattles to me.
"What's up dipin' dot?" she questions with a tilt of the head.
"Why do you still call me that, we're 18 now don't you think we're a little old for that?" I whined despite bring up our supposed mature age.
"come on Dipper, we're heading back to the mystery shack can't I get a bit sentimental?" was her response to my complaint, mirroring my hidden excitement to be returning to the place of our amazing summer when we were 13.
It has been five years since our first summer away from home, that amazingly crazy time with adventures discovering the abnormal at Gravity Falls, Oregon. Now, we are finally returning to the place of our greatest summer, I can't wait to see Grunkle Stan and Grunkle Ford and Soos and Wendy and everyone. There was one thing I worried about though, Bill Cipher, but we erased him in Grunkle Stan's mind so he should never be a problem again, but there is always a little niggle in the back of my mind that says he will return.
I stare out the window apprehensively, that was the reason it took us so long to return to Gravity Falls, well one of the reasons. The main one was that Grunkle Stan and Grunkle Ford were off sailing the seas, but my concern over Bill returning did play a part in the decision to return.
"Dipper" a voice suddenly called to my right causing me to jolt in my seat and turn to face the excited face of my sister "we're here" she cried with glee, then rushed off the bus dragging her bag and wattles with her, barley giving the driver time to open the door before she rushed out and into the arms of Grunkle Stan. "hey kids, wow, what do they feed you back home your like giants now" he exclaims wrapping his arms around Mabel as I step off the bus to receive a firm handshake hug from Grunkle Ford. Once Mabel and I are released by the Grunkles we are swept up into a bear hug by a blubbering Soos, "I missed you dudes, it's good to have you back" he cries into our shoulders as he slowly releases us.
"It's good to see you too Soos" Mabel and I wheeze out trying to pull air back into our lungs. While Mabel catches up with her friends Candy and Grenda I turn to face Wendy, "hey man, here's you hat, figured you should have it back now" she says as we pass our hats back to each other, having kept them as a sign of our friendship for five years. "aww man, there is so much we need to catch up on, like five years of stuff" Soos mentions as we all come together as a group, "yeah, we should probably head to the Mystery shack, to catch up in a comfortable setting rather than just standing by a bus stop" Grunkle Stan mentions and as he suggests we turn to head towards the path that will lead us to the Mystery shack that holds so many memories both good and bad.
As we walk down the path I can't help but think about when and how I should tell them my news, if I even should, as I consider the pros and cons of this big decision my sister comes up and nudges my shoulder. "Hey Dipper, you shouldn't stress they are our family they will love you no matter what and you know you have to tell them even if you are scared" she whispers to me, somehow being the voice of reason out of the two of us. "I know that but it is a big thing so I am trying to figure out the best way to tell them" I whisper back, but her words do make me realise that I do have to tell them.
So as we are about to reach the front porch of the Mystery shack I take a deep breath and open my mouth to speak when…
"Hey Pines family, man it is good to be back" a familiar voice calls chilling me to the bone as we slowly turn around to face someone I never wanted to see again.
Dun Dun Dun….
Can you guess who it is?
