"Whoa what's that?" Dipper whispered to himself, zooming in with him video camera. "It looks like a..." he trailed zooming in further. When the picture cleared he sighed closing the screen in. "...squirrel."
Dipper kicked the rocks in his pathway as he walked through the wood. "This place is crawling with the super natural..." he sighed. He plopped down next to a tree and pulled a book out of his vest. It was made of scratchy pages bound in a torn red cover. The front was blank, as was the back. On the first page was written the title "Mysteries of the six fingered hand," in pencil. "...I just have to find it."
He flipped through the pages of drawings and notes till he found a blank page. He placed a pencil that had sat on his ear, to the page. He wrote:
"We've been back in Gravity Falls, Oregon for 3 Days and I have yet to see a single thing out of the ordinary. I think if I..." he tapped the pencil on the page. "I think if I..." He closed the book slowly, returning it to his vest pocket and placing the pencil behind his ear. "Good to be back." he mumbled standing up. He knocked on the tree he had been leaning on. It didn't feel or sound different than any other tree. "Just checking."
Mabel sat on her bed flipping through a biology book. "cycled cell?" She said to herself in condition. She closed the book with a thud deciding to wait till Dipper could help her. Mabel was starting to regret the deal she had made with her teachers the week before.
She rolled on her back looking up at the ceiling. She saw her old posters of rainbows and sparkles. "I wonder why Stan never took those down..." She said to her self tired. She heard steps outside the attic room. The door creaked open and Dipper walked in disappointed. "What's eatin you?" Mabel asked sitting upright on her bed.
"Still nothing..." he sighed. "Maybe you want to go with me to-"
"Nope... Hey what's cycled cell?"
Dipper sighed laying back on his bed. "Its weird right?"
"What? Cycled cell?"
"No I mean how much this town hasn't changed. I mean even Soos and Grunkel Stan look the same.
"I guess...are you bummed?" Mabel asked pulling down the old posters, glitter flying as she did so. Dipper sat up. "That the town hasn't changed?"
"No," Mabel corrected, "I ment about Wendy being away at collage."
"Nah I never had a chance with her..." Mabel gave Dipper a look that said 'but?'
"Okay I'm a little bummed. I'm 17 I could totally have a chance now!" He said disappointed. "What about you? Going to try your 'epic summer romance'?"
Mabel climed off her bed, brushed off her jeans and blue tank-top of any stray glitter and headed toward the door. "Uh I don't think so...just gunna keep my head in the books." She laughed and opened the door. "I'm gunna see if I can barrow the car, I wanna go into town for a little. Want to come?"
"Sure why not?" He replied. He grabbed his video camera, checking the battery, and headed down stairs with his sister. "By the way its sickled cell not cycled cell."
"See this is why I need u around when I'm studying."
Bleep Bleep "Hello? ...yea...Uhg I'm going to the square today...whatever." The phone flipped shut with a click. A girl about the age of 17 sat in the mirror fixing her mascara. Her blonde hair cascaded over her purple dress. "Finally its getting warm outside!" She said excited pulling a thin coat off that she had tried on. She admired herself in the mirror a minute longer before slipping sandals on her winter tanned feet.
Bleep Bleep, 'They're back -G' said a text. With a sigh she typed back 'whatever'
as a simple reply. She giggled to herself a little, still admiring herself. She wore a purple sleeveless dress that reached a little above her knees. A black belt fasend around her upper stomach and black sandels. He blonde hair falling a few inches short of the hem of her dress.
She hopped into a shiny black car with a lisence that said "CUTIE" and drove off toward the town square. Pacifica Northwest was still rich and still popular and definatly still in love with herself. But after Dipper told her that her great grandfather, Nathanial Northwest, wasn't the town founder, she wasn't the same. At first she would act out, shut out her friends, and at one point, refuse to eat. On her 14 birthday she had a fight with her parents and ran out into the woods in the dark. Terrified she ended up curling up in the leafs waiting for daylight when she heard someone coming.
"Hello Pacifica..." said a voice from far off. "Who are you? What do you want?"
"I just want to make you happy, make everything better."
"How?"
"What about revenge?"
Pacifica was confused. She wanted revenge for sure, on Dipper and Mabel for ruining her life. Though she didn't lose much, she lost pride and she lost sight of who she was. Dipper had to pay for taking that away from her.
"I want to help you get revenge on the pines family."
"Who are you?" A large shadow cast over Pacifica, she cringed. And a little man with tall white hair stepped out of the shadows. "Gideon? I thought you were in jail?"
Little old him wore an orange jump suit and an evil grin. "I was..."
