He ran, and ran. He didn't know why, but every instinct in him told him to run. He came to a stop at a river. A large roar was heard, and a shadow appeared behind a tree and began to come closer to him. So he jumped. The river current pulled him away from the shadow, but closer to a waterfall. He tried to swim away, but the current was too strong. He stopped and accepted his fate. Just as he was about to fall, he let out a large scream.

"AAHHHH!" Dipper screamed as he jumped off his bed. "Just another dream." He sighed as he looked at his journal. "I think it's time I tell Mabel about this."

Dipper emerged from the bathroom squeaky clean. He walked into his room, put on his hat, grabbed his journal and put it in his vest pocket.

"Hey kid, how ya doing?" Grunkle Stan asked turning away from the TV for just a second. "Fine." "Are you sure? Mabel said you were having a fuss." "I'm fine Grunkle Stan, really." "Is it puberty?" "What?!" "Dipper I know it's hard, but soon you going to be going through a lot of changes." "AHHH! Stop!" "Dipper, it's Ok. You see there comes a time in every boy's life when... hey where ya going!" "I'm going to eat breakfast, before I lose my appetite." He gagged a little thinking of what he just avoided.

He entered the kitchen to find no other than Mabel, waving a hand fan over a smoking frying pan. "Dipper. Sit down; I'll have a new batch out in a sec." "You burnt another batch of pancakes?" "It's not my fault! It's that stupid squirrel." Mabel shouted mixing the ingredients into a bowl. "What squirrel." "Every time I start cooking something, a squirrel jumps onto the window. I try to resist, I really do, but it's so cute. I run to get my camera, but when I come back, the squirrel is gone, and the food is burnt." "Why don't you just bring the camera into the kitchen with you?" "I try, but every time I do the squirrel jumps in and snatches it. I'm sure it's an animal sent from hell." Dipper chuckled and shook his head.

"Dipper, something's on your mind. What is it?" "How'd you know?" "Dipper, I'm your twin, I know a lot you don't. So tell me what's wrong." "Well he brought out his journal and placed it on the table. For the past five days in a row, I've been having nightmares of a creature chasing me in the forest. I looked through the journals and found a page about a monster called 'The Stalker' who feeds on people's life force and brainwaves and in turn gives them spooky dreams and visions." Mabel sat there comfortably listening to every word. "What?" She asked noticing that Dipper had stopped talking. "You're taking this too well. I thought you would be like 'Oh my gosh', that is horrible.'" "Dipper, this is Gravity Falls. The only place that has monsters, mayhem, a crazy old man, a tribe of gnomes, and a police station with only two cops... dear I go on?" Dipper just stared at her "Good point. Anyway, on the next page, there's a map leading to the place where The Stalker is said to inhabit." "Then what are we waiting for. Let's go find it!" "What." "No monster bothers my brother. Besides, we're the mystery twins, nothing can stop us." Mabel shouted as she ran out the shack. "In 3...2...1..." Dipper counted down. Mabel ran back in and went straight to the oven. "Right, after I finish these pancakes."

Author's Note: Here it is, chapter 2. I know it came out fast, but since it's almost Christmas, and I'm on holiday, I have a lot of free time on my hands, so until school starts, I can post a new chapter of any story in between 2 to 3 days. So tell me how you liked this and Review. Merry Almost Christmas.
