So I read "How it All Goes Wrong" by mulzypops. And was like, OMG I MUST WRITE MY OWN VERSION OF THIS. NOW. And to my good buddy Doug, who has been bugging me to update TS, I say with all sincerity: SCREEEEWWWW YOU, DOUG! (It's a thing we do.) Then I messaged mulzy and he said I could do it, so now I am. I also got Mon-Ra, Geo, and Alyssa (The Word Nerd 424) to let me put them in it. (*whispers* heh... suckers.) And, before I get ten bajillion reviews asking "WHAT SHIPPINGS WILL YEW BEE DOING?" I will sai: DipLyssa. That's *probably* it. And for all you WenDip purists, I say: deal with it. I don't like your ship. No offense.
But onto the show! R&R!
(Jax's POV)
I was sitting in the extremely comfy pleather recliner in my living room, surfing the GF archive, when a story popped out at me. It was "How it All Goes Wrong" by mulzypops. After reading the first chapter, my eyes bugged out. Being both a Gravity Falls and a Geography nerd, I freaked out. How had I not made this connection? Normal, Illinois? OREGON, ILLINOIS? It all fell into place. I immediately sent out a PM to my closest friends on the site.
To: geographicallycorrect, Mon-Ra, The Word Nerd 424
Subj: OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
I FOUND EVIDENCE THAT GRAVITY FALLS IS A REAL PLACE. MEET ME AT THE BUS STATION IN NORMAL, ILLINOIS ON MAY 10. PREPARE FOR ACTION. THIS IS POSSIBLY OUR ONLY CHANCE. JOIN ME FOR ADVENTURE.
Roll Out,
Jax
I was going to add Autumn to the list, but read a little further. SHE WAS ALREADY THERE. And she didn't tell me! Well, I would get there myself.
All three messaged me back within the hour. They were in. Mon-Ra wanted adventure; Geo was curious; and Alyssa really, really wanted to meet Dipper. A lot.
(Geo's POV- May 10)
I couldn't believe that I was actually going to Gravity Falls! I was waiting in the Normal bus station (ha), with a sign that read "FALLERS ON A MISSION." There were at least five buses in the terminal, so any of them could walk up at any moment.
Mon-Ra showed up first. He had dark skin, darker hair, and glasses. He was wearing a dark jacket and a t-shirt with a scarab on it, and there was a duffel bag slung over his shoulder, like mine.
"So," he said, "are you Geo or-"
"It's Geo." We shook hands.
"So, is Alyssa here yet?"
"Nah. But... wait, I bet that's her. See the Dipper hat?"
"Oh, yeah."
Alyssa was younger than both of us, and I could tell she was superexcited.
"Hi guys! Wow, this is great. I hope Jax is right about this."
"Me too, kid," I replied. Then my phone buzzed.
Jax had asked each of us for our numbers, so we could stay in touch. The text from him read, "go outsde."
"C'mon, guys, Jax is outside," I told the others.
The outside of the building seemed empty. Then, we heard noise in the distance.
"Tell a doctor, tell a lawyer, tell the mailman, tell your mother..."
"Oh, geez," I said.
(Jax's Pov)
After I texted Geo, I resumed focusing on driving. My go-kart, that is. That one rock song from AcceleRacers came on. It's the one Vert plays in the Water Realm. I started singing along.
"GO! Just GO!"
The bus station came into view. I hit the brakes and stopped the music. I screeched to a halt just in front of the three people who could only be the others.
"Hey, guys, what's up?" I asked, pulling off my helmet. I realized that I would look a *little* strange. My brown hair was wild, and most guys don't drive go-karts with wagons attached to the back down the interstate. The ski goggles (I ALWAYS wear goggles on adventures) and bomber jacket would add to the confusion.
"So," I continued, "I'm Jax. No, wait, I think I've got your names. The filipino dude is Mon-Ra, the girl in the Dipper hat is Alyssa, which makes you Geo."
Geo had They all looked a little shocked that I had guessed their names.
"So, this is how we're getting there. I can't afford a limo, so I brought THIS baby."
My go-kart was more of a mess of iron bars assembled to look like a car. The engine and boom box that I used as a radio were up in front of the wheel. There were two bucket seats in the actual go-kart. Attached to the back was a wagon that had two more seats in it. There were a few tanks here and there.
"Wow," Alyssa said. "Did YOU build this? And... is it safe?"
"As safe as it gets." As I said that, the steering wheel fell off. "Oh, shizzle. Let me get that... there. Climb aboard, Explorers!"
"Shotgun," said Mon-Ra.
"Crud," said Geo.
"Okay, just a warning," I said. "I drive fast."
"Let me restate that: Crap."
I hit the music button, and the Imagine Dragons album Night Visions began playing. We were off!
One, done. DONUT RUN! Fastest chapter ever. I typed this in an hour. Next chapter will be up soon. R&R! And, thank you mulzypops!
