Soos took the kids to a room filled with knick-knacks and other memorabilia. It wasn't anything out of the norm for the Mystery Shack, but there was much more junk in the room than downstairs.

"So, what exactly are we suppose to move?" Dipper was rummaging through the box. He pulled out a green painted wooden mustache and tried to balance it on his lips. Soos was going through some boxes behind him.

"I dunno dood. Stan said anything that was sellable. Not sure what that applies too in this room." He was rummaging in a different box and pulled out a red square that had four yellow handles randomly attached to it. Casey was on a couple of boxes, rummaging through a box on those. Mabel pulled out a long pink and teal swirled kaleidoscope. She looked in it and began to "oooooh" and "aaaaah" as she turned the handle and the end. The twin began to back up as Dipper looked over his shoulder to see what she found.

"Hey Mabel, be careful!"

"Do you think Grunkle Stan would let me keep this?" Mabel backed up and bumped into the box Casey was standing on, which caused Casey to fall into the box she was rummaging in and caused the top box to fall into the bottom box.

"Oof, sorry Casey!" Dipper ran over to them, frowning. "See I told you! Are you okay?" He was about to pull her out, when she popped up smiling and holding three iron objects. The twins immediately smiled back and Soos "oooooh"-ed from afar. Casey looked over at Mr. Fix It, "Can we take a break?"

Grunkle Stan sat down on his chair and was about to pick up the remote.

"Aaah, another day of sile-."

BANG BANG BANG

"What the?" He flinched, dropping the remote and he looked out the window.

"Is it ready yet? Now? How bout now?" Mabel was dancing from side to side, Dipper had some objects in his hands and the new kid was just as eager as Mabel.

"Aaaalmooooost…" Soos hit something with another BANG then he stood up and wiped his forehead.

"Alright doods, it's up!" The kids cheered a bit too much for Grunkle Stans liking, especially when most of those cheers came from Mabel. He sighed and decided to step outside.

"Hey, hey, what's all of this?" The kids and Soos stopped.

"Um…horseshoes?" Dipper held up a horseshoe, making the old man raise his eyebrow.

"Horseshoes? I had them stored in that room?" The four nodded.

"We could sell games to anyone who wants to play for five bucks?" Mable chimed in and the cash signs rolled into Grunkle Stan's eyes.

"Good thinking kid! Heck, I might be able to get more outta them!" He closed the door and went off to do calculations causing the group to stand still for a few minutes.

"So are we off the hook?" Casey asked Soos.

"We are off the hook dood! The group started cheering again and started to play. There were six horseshoes in all, just enough for the group. One of Mabel's horseshoes was inches away from the pole, while Dipper's barely made past a foot from where he threw it. His sister giggled, "Dipper, you throw like a girl!" He turned around and glared at her, "No I do not." Mabel leaned over and loudly whispered to Casey, "He also sneezes like a kitten, it's so adorable!" Dipper frowned and picked up his second horseshoe. He felt a tug on his sleeve as he was about to throw it.

"Hey, my turn first…kitty!" Dipper looked over his shoulder, frowning at Casey. He mumbled as she went up to throw her horseshoe but stopped as he saw her form. Casey brought the metal object up to her shoulder and began spinning around. After the fourth spin, she flung her arm out, causing the horseshoe to fall way out left of the iron stick. Dipper snorted.

"What kind of technique is that? You threw that thing way off base!" It was Casey's turn to glare at the boy.

"At least I threw the dang-"

"WHO THREW THIS?" The two stopped arguing as an unfamiliar girl rode toward them. She had light brown skin and curly black hair and her face was furious. She was on a black bike wearing a black shirt, dark green pants and red sneakers. Dipper pointed at Casey, "She did."

"Hey!" Casey gave Dipper a little shove and Mabel stepped in between them, about to speak but was interrupted by the new girl.

"Well watch it! You almost hit my bike!" She aimed the horseshoe and threw it at the stick. It hit the pole with a ring. Everyone stared in amazement.

"Whoa dood, nice!" The girl rolled her eyes at Soos and got back on her bike. Mabel ran over to her excitedly.

"So, what's your name? My name's Mabel, the dork," she pointed over at Dipper who's frown returned, "is Dipper my brother, the blonde one is Casey and the guy who gave you the compliment is Mr. Cool Fix It Guy Soos!" The girl looked at Mabel.

"You said you're name was Mabel?" She shook her head up and down furiously.

"My name's Jessica. Stay out of the forest at night." Dipper looked confused and was about to comment when Jessica took off. Mabel turned back at the group and shrugged.

"Soos, have you ever seen her around before?" Dipper asked the older man. Soos also gave a shrug as he picked up his horseshoe.

"Nope, she must be new." He took aim and missed over to the right of the stick. Casey looked back at the Mystery Shack.

"I'm gonna have another look in the room! I'll be back down in a bit!"

"Okaaaayyyyy but you better hurry!" Mabel waved as Casey ran into the Mystery Shack. Dipper was just plain confused. Why did a girl, who not even Soos has seen tell Mabel to stay out of the forest at night and why would anyone want to go back and look through boxes in that room?

"Hey Dippingsauce, five bucks says I hit the stick next!" Mabel's voice bought Dipper back to earth. He turned around at his sister, smiling.

You're on!"

Dipper headed to the room filled with boxes. Casey hadn't come back down in five minutes and until she threw her second horseshoe, Soos and Mabel continued to goof around. He stopped short as he heard a voice from the room.

"I can catch it if you want!" Who was she talking to? Dipper concentrated and he could hear what sounded like squeeks in response.

"Where do you want me, over here?" Dipper slowly opened the door and he saw Casey holding her arms up. He then opened the door all the way.

"Casey, who are you talking to?" She gasped and turned around to face the boy, looking nervous.

"Oh…uh…no one in particular!" An object fell behind her, causing the girl to flinch. Dipper stepped towards her and was amazed. There were tons of objects lying around on the ground. He saw a telescope, a dozen or so soft balls, a few wooden swords with red question marks on them, basically the cool knick-knacks that could be found without being distracted. Dipper walked over and picked up one of the wooden swords.

"Casey…where'd you find all of this stuff?" Casey picked up another sword.

"Oh, you know…in boxes…en guard Sir Dippingsauce!" She turned around, pointing the sword at Dipper. He was surprised for a few seconds then he fixed his hat and smirked.

"En guard yourself…um…Lady Caserella?" Casey lowered her sword.

"Caserella?"

"Yeah, like…uh…Cinderella?" She rolled her eyes, raising her sword back up.

"Let's leave Mabel to the nicknames. For now, we fight!" The two began to jab at each other back and forth and going around boxes. Dipper managed to get away by running into a box near the corner and gave him a chance to catch his breath.

Stupid human boy… He heard a high-pitched voice and heard little footsteps like a mouse was scattering or something. He quickly stood up as something red flashed out of the corner of his eyes.

"Aha! You can run Sir Dippingsauce, but you cannot hide!" There was no time for him to think about what he saw as Casey jumped right behind him. Dipper turned around, trying to raise his sword, but Casey lunged forward.

"Take that!" She flicked his hat off, catching the boy off guard as he raised his left arm to feel the top of his head and stopped in realization of what he was doing, "And that!" It was too late. Casey lunged again, swinging her sword over to the unprotected area for the final blow. Dipper tensed up, causing him to drop his sword. He clutched his side and fell to his knees.

"I have been slain! Fare well cruel world!" He fell on the ground while Casey raised her arms up with a victorious shout. The two kids paused, and then began to laugh.

"No but seriously, we should get back." Casey nodded and dropped her sword. She went over to him and held out her hand, "Need help?" For some reason, Dipper felt fuzzy inside. He felt is smile turn into a lop-sided grin as he took the girls hand and stood up. Dipper quickly let go and dusted himself off. Casey was only here for the weekend. There was no way anything could happen in such a short amount of time...unless he was Mabel, which thankfully he wasn't.

"So, are you coming?" The boy looked up and saw her already standing at the door.

"What do you wanna do about the stuff?" She smiled.

"Keep it quiet from Grunkle Stan until we have a chance to play with it all?" Dipper smiled back.

"Sounds good to me!" He headed out the door, yet heard more scattering noises as he was closing it. There was something weird going on in that room…but for now he'll wait on that mystery.

"Grrrr…" Dipper's eyes flew wide open at the sound of growling. Night had fallen upon Gravity Falls, and hearing growling noises usually never helped adding to the mysteries of the town. He sat up in bed, rubbing his eyes.

"Where…ugh, why can't I find it…stupid thing." He looked over at Mabel's side. His sister was sleeping like an alpaca. Casey on the other hand, was digging through her duffel bag. Dipper's eyes were still getting adjusted, but he saw something long

being pulled out of her bag. "There you are!" She got up and headed to the door.

"Hey!" Casey paused at the sound of Dipper's voice. He scrambled out of bed, trying to put his shoes on. The girl gave no response. In stead, she opened the door and ran out as fast as she could while being as quite as she could. Dipper quietly closed the attic door and went after her. He saw her on the porch of the Mystery Shack. The flashlight in her hands was on.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?" Casey turned around, smiling.

"What does it look like? I'm going to explore!" Dipper face palmed.

"Did you not here what that Jessica girl told us earlier? She said not to explore the woods at night!" He saw the girl sigh.

"That was directed at Mabel."

"I'm pretty sure it was in relevance to all of us!"

"What's wrong little kitty? Are you scared?" That was it. Dipper walked up to Casey and grabbed the flashlight.

"No I'm not and I'm not a kitten!" He began to walk towards the woods. Casey smiled wider and followed after him.

It was a good fifteen minutes before Dipper realized what had happened. He suddenly stopped, causing Casey to bump into him.

"Uuum...you okay there Dipper?" She put a hand on his shoulder, but he brushed it off. Dipper didn't want a girl, particularly one who was younger than him, feel him shivering.

"I-I'm fine. Perfectly fine." He's seen so many strange things in this town. What could possibly happen in the woods?

AWOOOOOOO

Their heads snapped to attention. Dipper was moving the flashlight back and forth.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

"Casey, cut it out."

"That wasn't me, I swear!"

AWOOOOOO AWOOOOOOOO

He felt Casey's hand on his arm and could feel it shaking. "Wolves? W-w-why are there wolves? That's not n-n-normal is it?" A deep snarl could be heard.

The flashlight began to flicker out. Dipper started to bang on it.

"Nonononono, why does stuff like this always happen?"

"D-D-D-D-D-D-Dip-p-..." Casey was now clinging onto his arm and pointed straight ahead. He saw glowing golden eyes. The flashlight sparked back on for a few seconds, and as he quickly scanned that area he saw brown fur, huge claws and long fangs. When the light went out, he didn't even bother shaking the flashlight.

"Okay...run."
