Documenting the Falls

Chapter 3

Hey guys! I just wanted to say thank you for reviewing! No really thank you. You guys are awesome. Seriously, OaG and I had a virtual party. We broke out the virtual cookies!

OaG: Yeah! *still eating virtual cookie*

(She's still going insane without wifi) but anyways, I don't own Gravity Falls. And thank you, guys for reviewing, following, favoriting, etc. now on with the story!

"Gah!" I cowered underneath the girl that had tackled me, squirming like a bug as she held a stuffed toy over my head as a weapon.

"Who are you, mysterious girl?!" She beat me over the head with the plush toy. "And what are you doing in my room?!"

"I was sent here because my bus crashed and I don't have a cellphone to have anyone to come get me!" I cried out in one breath. "Gah! Why are you beating me over the head with a stuffed toy?!"

She lowered her stuffed toy and got off me."Sorry, sorry!" She immediately apologized. "I thought you were a intruder, who talks into a camera."

She grinned cheekily, her braces shining bright from daily maintenance.

"Um, okay." I mumbled, this girl was definitely a bit odd. She climbed into the pink bed and hung upside down in front of my face.

"I'm Mabel!" She flashed me that cheeky grin, which she seemed to wear like a t-shirt. "So what's your name?"

"Clara." I replied. "Nice to meet, Mabel."

"So Clara, what were you doing on a bus in the first place?" She asked, chuckling as she began swinging back and forth in front of my face.

"It's a long story." I stated.

"Don't worry," She smiled. "We have plenty of time!"

"Okay, well, I guess it started with my sister,"

I started to tell Mabel about how my parents had, had Thalia when they were sixteen. My dad had refused to leave my mother, thus they had a new life goal.

Making their mistake worthwhile. After six years of loving Thalia, they had me, but even though they had me.

Nothing changed, making me neglected. So I always fought to get their respect, I've gotten all A's for my whole life, I've tried developing talents I do NOT have.

Singing, I'm completely tone deaf, I'm pretty sure I killed a house plant.

Dancing, I look like a dying octopus, seriously, my best dance move is flailing my arms over my head wildly.

In the end, all my efforts failed. Now, that Thalia's 18, she's going to Harvard on a scholarship.

So my parents went with her, to help her get settled in, and also have the vacation they always dreamed of.

So I was told, I was going to my Aunt Georgia who lived in Seattle for the summer. She's also a hair dresser, so that meant three months of experiments on my hair.

On her last experiment with my hair, I ended up with boyishly short hair. Which I still had.

It wasn't terrible, in fact, it eventually grew on me. So I kept it.

Then there was that time she dyed my hair hot pink. Yeah, wasn't pretty. Let's just say I looked like an anime character for months.

So as you can probably tell, I wasn't all to excited to go there for the summer.

So after setting off on my own on the bus, I spent a good 4 hours reading my Sherlock Holmes book.

"Oh, is that the book about the cute vampires?" She asked.

"Um, no?" I replied.

"Oh, okay!" She grinned. "Continue!"

After the brief interruption, I continued on with the story. The bus driver had warned me that the roads hadn't been paved in years, so I had to stay in my seat.

Then only mere moments later, we crashed into the trees. I was soon recovered by the police and taken to the police station.

Where I had more than enough problems, when I the consequences of not owning a cellphone came into play.

So, the police took me here, and I'm and now I'm living here for the summer.

Also, I'm now an unpaid employee in a tourist trap.

Mabel squealed, "You know what this means?!" I stared blankly at her. "It means we get to hang out all summer!" She let a another girly squeal giveaway.

She hopped up onto to her bed and jumped up and down for a minute. Then stood boldly. "I'm going to make this your best summer ever with the power of,"

"Adventure?" I guessed.

She grabbed the side of my face and pulled us together cheek to cheek.

"Mabel."

She let go of my face, slid down off the bed and sat in front of me.

"But first you have to meet our roommate. Also known as my twin brother, Dipper."

"Brother?" I choked.

"Kids! Come on, we don't have all day!" Mr. Pines yelled.

"Okay, Grunkle Stan!" Mabel shouted down the stairs. "Come on, Clara! Let's go back to the shop!"

She grabbed my hand and dragged me down the stairs. Well, this is a interesting first day here.
