Dipper's Pov: Ah, Gravity Falls, Oregon, it's hard to believe that it's been a year since me, and my sister Mabel left this place, and now we're heading back to Gravity Falls for the summer again.

My name is Dipper Pines just in case you don't know me, the girl that you see sleeping on the bus is my twin sister Mabel Pines, and our parents are sending us back to Gravity Falls for the summer again, but they didn't allow Mabel to bring Waddles with her, so yeah she's a little upset about that, but I am excited to head back to Gravity Falls.

I couldn't wait to see how Soos has been doing with running the mystery shack since Grunkle Stan left him in charge of the shack.

I couldn't wait to catch up with Grunkle Stan and great-uncle Ford, but most of all I couldn't wait to see Wendy again, and I was still wearing her furry hat that she gave me right before we left Gravity Falls last summer, and I just couldn't wait to see her again.

After, a long time of riding on the bus, the bus driver told me that we had reached our destination, the Mystery Shack.


I then attempted to wake Mabel up, but she was refusing to wake up, and she was starting to mumble in her sleep.

"Mabel, get up, we're here," I said as I continued to try to wake Mabel up as she continued to sleep.

Mabel chuckles as she says, "Sparkles." as she rolled in her sleep on the bus seat as she said this in her sleep.

I sighed, but then I smiled getting an idea as I said, "Hey, look, Mabel, it's a teenage boy!" I said chuckling a bit, and just like that Mabel immediately wakes up and looks around as she said, "Really where?" Mabel asks looking around.

"I'm just kidding Mabel, I only said that so that you would wake up," I said as I got my backpack from behind the bus seat.


However, Mabel, of course, being Mabel glared at me as she said, "You never kid around about cute boys Dipper!" Mabel said as she also got her backpack from behind the bus seat.

I just rolled my eyes as I said, "Whatever, look, we're here so let's just get off the bus already alright Mabel?" I asked her as I got ready to get off the bus.

Mabel just nods agreeing with me, and then together we get off of the bus, and then the bus pulls away after we get off of it, and then after the bus pulls away we both stood in silence as we both looked at the place where it all started, the Mystery Shack.

The Mystery Shack hasn't changed much since we left Gravity Falls, and to others, it may seem like a boring old shack, but to us, it was special because now we have so many memories at that shack.

"Uh, there it is, hey Dipper, do you remember that time when we accidentally switched bodies?" Mabel asks me chuckling.


I glared at Mabel, but then I chuckled a bit as I said, "Yeah, I remember Mabel, but I thought that we agreed to never speak of that again." I replied chuckling.

"I know that we did, but I told you that one day we would look back at it and laugh, now didn't I?" Mabel asks me chuckling.

I laughed as I said, "I guess you did, anyway, we should go inside the Mystery Shack now, and see if Soos is in there." I replied smiling as I said this to Mabel, and Mabel nods agreeing with me, and then together we started to make our way towards the entrance of the Mystery Shack.

Mabel's Pov: Dipper and I started to make our way towards the entrance of the Mystery Shack.

However, we suddenly get spooked by this random girl who comes out of nowhere, and then she takes our picture with a camera that she has, and the flash from the camera blinds us temporary as we both stood there in shock from the flash that came from the camera as we both stood there silently.


"Oh I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you, I just get so excited when I get a chance to make new friends." the random girl said apologizing to us, and then once we had recovered from our temporary blindness we were able to see what the random girl looked like as both Dipper and I looked at her in silence.

The random girl had a light tanned skin tone, along with short brown hair that went past her shoulders, her eyes were an electric blue, she was wearing a pair of black glasses on her face, along with a small butterfly-shaped hairpin in her hair, and she was wearing a white t-shirt that read peace on earth on it, along with blue jeans, and flip-flops, and finally she was holding a small camera in her hands smiling as she looked at both Dipper and me silently.

"Hello, my name is Cathy Codex, but you can just call me Cathy for short, and I'm fourteen." the random girl said introducing herself to Dipper, and I.

"Um, hello I'm Dipper and this is my sister Mabel, and I don't think that we've seen you in Gravity Falls before," Dipper said trying to be nice to this girl who had appeared out of nowhere startling us.

"Oh, that's because I'm new here, you see, I moved here a few weeks ago with my mom, and she owns the Gravity Falls newspaper building now, anyway she writes the articles in the newspapers, and I take the pictures for the articles, you see I took a photography class in school, and I'm very smart, anyway it was nice, meeting you two bye!" Cathy said explaining this to us, and with that, she leaves running off with a smile on her face.


I looked at Dipper as I said, "Well, that was random," I said chuckling.

"Yeah, let's just hope that we don't run into her again any-time soon, now come on let's head inside the shack," Dipper said to me, and I nod agreeing with him and together we head inside the mystery shack.

Once inside the shack, we saw that Soos was in the middle of giving a tour of the mystery shack to some tourists, and then we called out to him, and he immediately runs over to us obviously very happy to see us after all of this time of course.

"Dipper, Mabel!" Soos shouts cheerfully as he hugs both of us.

"It's good to see you too, you Paladin Radmaster," I said chuckling at Soos.


"It's good to see you again Soos, how has running, the Mystery Shack, been like for you, have you been doing alright with it?" Dipper asks Soos curious has to how he has been doing with running the mystery shack ever since Grunkle Stan left him in charge of the shack.

"Well, it has been challenging to be honest, but Melody helps me out with everything," Soos began explaining this to us.

"However, Wendy still pretty much does, her own thing, but she still helps me out a bit by giving me a few pointers and all," Soos continued.

"Plus, I recently let the Northwest family move into the shack, and my mom lives here too," Soos continued.

"Anyway, I'm just letting the Northwest family move in until they get back on their feet that, is, so I have to share my own room with them since there are not enough bedrooms in the shack, so you can only imagine how that is, but it's the least I could do since Pacifica kind of helped us out and all, plus I'm a very nice person, but other than that things have been fine I guess." Soos replied as he explained all of this to us.


"Oh, sounds like you have been busy then, but I'm glad to hear that you have been doing alright buddy, anyway where's Wendy?" Dipper asks Soos very hesitant to know where Wendy is.

"Wait do you just say that Pacifica and her family moved into the shack?" I asked Soos surprised to hear this from him.

No One's Pov: "Yeah, it's like I told you, it's only until they get back on their feet, and I really don't mind, and I think that Old Man McGucket or Fiddleford as he likes to be called now owns the Northwest Manor now, and as for Wendy she just went on another break from work again, and you will probably find her in the forest." Soos replied as he explains this to Dipper and Mabel.

"Alright, thanks, Soos, I'll see you later," Dipper said as he started to take off when he ran into Pacifica, who was wearing an employee outfit from the mystery shack, and Dipper just stood there looking at her for a moment.

"Oh, hey Pacifica," Dipper said nervously as he looks at Pacifica.


"Hey Dipper, how are you?" Pacifica also said nervously as she looks at him.

"Um, I'm going to go look for Wendy now, but I'll see you later, alright?" Dipper asks Pacifica, and Pacifica nods agreeing with him, and with that Dipper runs off into the forest to look for Wendy.

Meanwhile, Mabel walks over to Pacifica to talk with her a bit.

Wow, I never thought that my greatest rival would become my best friend Mabel thought.

After, talking with Pacifica a bit, Mabel is surprised when, her two best friends named Candy and Grenda tackled her into a dog pile, and they all laugh chuckling.


Mabel walked off to catch up with her two best friends.

Meanwhile, Pacifica sat down all alone at a window to think about what she has done wrong with her life.

Meanwhile, Dipper was in the forest looking for Wendy.

"Wendy, where are you?" Dipper asks looking around for Wendy.

Suddenly, Wendy appears behind him scaring him, and then after some laughing, they both hug each other, and then Wendy says that she has something to show him, and then she started to lead Dipper somewhere.


"Wendy, slow down!" Dipper called after her as he followed her deep into the forest.

Wendy chuckled as she leads him to what appeared to be a statue of Bill Cipher, the evil being that Dipper and Mabel had to defeat last summer, and he was their greatest enemy, so why was there a statue of him out in the middle of the forest.

This fanfic is taking place after the events of gravity falls by the way, so there might be a few callbacks to some episodes in it, anyway let me know what you think so far, please!
