The ringing of an alarm clock woke Dipper from his sleep: he was especially tired since he stayed up most of last night reading over Journal 1. Papers and books were strung across the bed and floor from his late night reading. Carefully maneuvering around the room, Dipper gathered some clothes from his dresser and went to take a shower.

A meowing was what woke up Mabel and Pacifica that morning. Pacifica hit Mabel's Rainbow Kitty alarm clock and the two slowly roused from their comfortable and warm beds and into the cold air. The two changed into non-sleep clothes, Mabel in her shooting star sweater with purple leggings and Pacifica wore a dark purple dress with a lighter purple jacket over it and a slim black belt.

Everyone gathered in the kitchen for breakfast that morning. When everyone ate together now it was less awkward then it was when Pacifica first moved in. Everyone was talking, mostly about the first day of school, and first day of middle school. Mabel was rather happy, there would be so many more people there then in the small elementary the twins used to go to. Pacifica was ready to see what middle school was like, of course she wouldn't have most of her friends but that was alright, she still had the twins. Dipper couldn't be less excited, Ford had taught him a fair chunk of stuff back in Gravity Falls and school was going to be a repeat of what he learned, minus the small amount of friends and the large chunk of adventure.

"Look at the time, I have to go honey, love you." Chad said leaning down to kiss his wife, Mabel giggled and blushed because she was Mabel, Pacifica slightly giggled but otherwise didn't do anything, she had been around Mabel way too much and was developing her habits, and Dipper had his nose stuck in a book and didn't notice the exchange.

"You kids should be going now as well." Kathy said, ushering the now 7th graders out of the kitchen and through the back door. Leaving through the gate, the Pine Twins and Pacifica walked down to the bus stop where the bus would pick them up. A casual conversation was struck up between Mabel and Dipper; Pacifica would occasionally make a comment but didn't join in too much otherwise. She and Dipper still had a strained relationship, it wasn't as awkward as before, they could talk to each other, but it still wasn't the greatest.

The yellow bus rounded the corner and stopped, the Pines and Pacifica walked up the stairs and into the semi-crowded bus. Finding a seat near the back, they sat down and waited for the journey to begin.

The school wasn't all too spectacular, simple red brick with two levels and a large field behind it. There were windows dotted across the front and from that angle, the side. There were a large chunk of students milling around the front, which Mabel and Pacifica quickly disappeared into, leaving Dipper by himself. Walking around to the side door which would be closest to his locker, Dipper thought he saw a flash of bright blond hair.

First period flew by in a flash. The math teacher, Mrs. Berry was a nice woman that made a fair chunk of jokes but could be serious, and she also liked to insult some of the students in a nice way, it was probably retribution for all the name she was called. There was also this one girl, Dipper couldn't remember her name, who would not stop asking questions, to the point that the teacher was ready to throw a white board marker at her. Other than that nothing too special happened in math, it was just a review of everything he had already learned.

Next was band, his parents forced him into it because they had paid $3,450 for a sousaphone and they didn't want it wasted. There were two teachers that taught the first one was Mr. Wippet, he make many jokes throughout class, which had just about everyone there laughing except the second teacher, Mrs. Hatich. Mrs. Hatich was an older woman, she made her own occasional jokes, but they didn't compare to Mr. Wippet's, she also preferred to pass out music with the notes in letter form rather than in note symbols. It was much harder to play the letter pieces than the songs with normal sheet music. The cellist however seemed to play everything with expertise, he also had the same bright blond hair that Dipper saw earlier.

After band/orchestra was English which he had with Mabel. It was interesting. The teacher, Mrs. Hood, looked fairly young, and acted like it, so it was a surprise that she was 40 years old. She was a happy woman with a positive outlook on life, and could pass out really good burns. There was one girl, she had red and white hair that could also give out really good burns as well, she said them regularly throughout class. And there was that bright blond again.

The bell ringer was to write a paper on something, it could be a story or whatever, what the class got was a bunch of random papers and stories. It amazed Dipper on how much you could tell of your classmates just by listening to something they wrote. The bright blonde's story was actually well written and had Dipper sucked in listening to it.

Finally it was lunch, Dipper had to stop by his locker to grab the journal and put away his stuff, Mabel and Pacifica went on a head. As it turned out, Dipper got lost in the enormous school and ended up running into a certain blonde. Dipper analyzed his features, sharp features with pale skin, grey eye, thin lips, a single small hoop earring in his left ear and a line of black eyeliner that made his eye stand out even more. What was the most peculiar was that he wore a black eye patch over one eye. "Hey are you okay?" The blonde asked with a smooth voice, it was slightly high pitched but not enough to be annoying.

"Yeah, I'm fine; I think the better question is are you okay?" Dipper asked the blonde who was currently rubbing the spot where his eye patch was.

"Perfect, this thing just dug into the skin." The blonde said, gesturing to his eye patch, "You look lost kid."

"I kind of am, I can't find the cafeteria, I haven't explored this school yet so." Dipper said, anyone could hear the lack of pride in his voice, and also the lack confidence as well.

"Here, I'll show you the way; I was just going there right now."

"Thanks. Anyways, what's your name?"

"Why don't you tell me yours first?"

"If you tell me yours right after."

"Alright, deal, now what's your name."

"My name is Dipper, and no it isn't my real name."

"Hey that's breaking our deal."

"I am not going to tell you my real name, besides this is the only name I go by so."

"Fine then, my name is Will, Will Crypto."

Mabel's day was a bit different form Dipper's, she started out with Choir; the teacher was nice enough. Nothing was too special about that class, the other people were okay, but not to Mabel's standards, they weren't happy enough, and they were nowhere near Pacifica's standards for various reasons.

Next was theater and it was rather fun, the teacher was definitely not normal, he was out going and fun, Mabel could already tell that she liked the teacher.

Then was English class, when Mrs. Hood told everyone to write a paper on some topic or a story, Mabel instantly started to write about what happened that summer. As she wrote it more, it got better and better until it ended with Weirdmageddon. An epic conclusion to and awesome story, it was perfect.

Once she was finished she leaned back and relaxed taking another look at what she considered was a master piece. Once everyone was finished they started to share them, one kid wrote about death and that stuff, another kid wrote random nonsense, and one wrote about something that Mabel couldn't follow. Dipper of course wrote about the UFO he and Ford explored, and the mysteries inside of it. No one in that room knew how true it was except for herself.

Hey! Sorry I didn't post yesterday! I had a dance concert then my sister was using the computer :P. Anyways, I told you he would arrive in time! Wait, I did say that to someone right...? Sorry, I don't have the best memory!

Hope you enjoy!
