Okay I'm just gonna say this up here so people don't get confused. Gravity Rises is a role reverse AU, you know that by now I'm sure. So what is the reverse of two cops who don't take their jobs seriously, don't notice whats going on with Gideon and don't respect Dipper or Mabel (in the first season anyway)? Two cops who DO take their jobs seriously, realize something is going on with the Northwest family and do have some respect for the twins. So that's why Bulbs and Durland are acting the way they do. Also I made Durland the sheriff and Blubs the deputy, for the sake of revering.

(It also might be because I didn't really like Bulbs and Durland in the first season, so I changed them. DON'T RAGE ME!)


The twins were walking though the town with Waddles trotting with them. Mabel had gone inside a store to look for something but Dipper insisted he wanted to wait outside. However while he was waiting he decided to test something. He stuck his tong to one of the lampposts, and indeed, it stuck. "WOW Ihh Woks!" Waddles looked up at him and gave a few snorts as Dipper as he tried to pull back. "...Eh Oh." He pulled back a few more times before finally getting lose. "Oww, okay, lets not do that again." He said unaware some one was watching.

"Uhh... still in one piece?" A very confused Gideon asked.

"Oh yeah, I'm fine." Dipper answered.

Gideon looked at him and for a second with a blank expression. 'This is the person he's is so worried about?' As he's thinking this Waddles trotted up to him and sniffed at him a few times. Gideon stared at him then shook his head looking back at Dipper. "Your certainly and interesting person... Uhh Dipper right?" He said before rubbing his head. "I'm sorry but what kind of name is that? I sound stupid every time I say it." He asked.

"It's a nickname." Dipper said before smiling. "Do you wanna know how I got it?" He asked.

Gideon looked down for a second before sighing and looking back at Dipper with a smug grin. "Okay fine, you've peeked my interest. How did you get the nickname?" He asked.

Dipper smiled and moved the tufted of hair away from his forehead showing his birthmark. Gideon was quite for a few seconds, he quickly figured out where the nickname must have come from but after a minute a few chuckles escaped him before turning into a hysterical fit of laughter. "W-Whats so funny?" Dipper asked trying not to show that he was blushing from embarrassment slightly.

Gideon chuckled and tried to control himself. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I- I realize it's a birth mark. And you had no control over having it. But the fact that you were actually proud enough to name yourself after that... Deformity! It just seems ridicules to me!" He said falling back into another fit of laughter.

Mabel had just walked out of the store. She had been confused as to what all the notice outside had been. She of course saw that it was Gideon and groaned. 'I knew I shouldn't of left Dipper out here by himself.' She thought to herself as she walked up to him. Dipper was turned away from her. She grabbed his arm. "Hey Dip, are you-" Before she could finish Dipper pulled his arm away. Waddles looked up at him and nudged his leg, squealing quietly.

"Lets just go." He said as he tried to walk away. He didn't get far though.

Mabel grabbed his arm again, more forcefully this time. "Dipper. Come on what happened?" She asked turning to face him. But Dipper didn't need to answer, his face said it all. He was still blushing and had a look of embarrassment in his face. Mabel hadn't heard the entire conversation but she had heard a few words. Birthmark and Ridicules. She put two and two together and clenched her fist. "You jerk." She said in a hushed voice.

Gideon chuckled and rubbed his head. "Sorry, what was that?" He asked finally getting himself under control.

Dipper looked up. 'Oh no...' He thought to himself. He knew what she was about to do. "Uhh Mabel..." He started trying to say something to stop her. He was too late.

Mabel rushed up and pushed Gideon nearly knocking him over. "You Were Making Fun Of My Brother's Birthmark!" She yelled. Dipper walked up to her and grabbed her arm, trying to keep her from doing any more. The last thing he wants is Mabel getting in trouble because of him.

Gideon stumbled back before standing up straight again. He gave a smirk. "Hey, I did nothing wrong. If he can't handle being made fun of then he shouldn't of shown me. It's not like I forced him or anything." He said dusting himself off.

"Yeah but you didn't have to be such a bully!" Mabel said clenching her fist again.

"WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE!" A deep voice yelled. A two cops stepped out of their car and walked towards them. The twins had seen them in town a few times, but never talked to them.

Gideon smiled and placed his hands behind his back. "Hey Blubs, Durland. How are you doing today?" He asked.

Durland narrowed his eyes and looked at him. "We were doing fine till we noticed what was going on here. Are you causing trouble again?"

"Me?! Cause trouble? Never. Heck, it was her who pushed me." He said gesturing to Mabel. "Maybe you should think about taking Her to the station." He said smirking.

Blubs folded his arms. "I ain't taking a kid down to the station for pushing you Northwest. You might have power, but not That much power. Now I suggest you get out of here." He said sharply.

Gideon just smiled and backed up. "Alright Alright. I get it, I'll leave. Not like you can do anything about it." He said as he walked away chuckling.

The Deputy groaned and rubbed his head before looking back at the twins. "Sorry about him. Dipper and Mabel right? Ford's neighs and nephew." He asked giving smile.

"Uhh yeah." Mabel said.

"You know us?" Dipper said confused.

Durland just smiled and nodded. "Word spreads fast in a small town." He said. "I'm Sheriff Durland and this is Deputy Blubs."

Dipper smiled and rubbed his arm. "Nice to finally meet you Officers." He said.

"Yeah..." Mabel started glancing at where Gideon had gone off to. "Hey umm, do you guys know why the Northwests have to much power here? It can't just be because they're rich." She said.

"You don't you know? The Northwests where the ones who founded this town years ago." Blubs said.

"Yeah, they own almost everything in Gravity Falls." Durland said.

Dipper rubbed his arm. "Gee, no wonder everyone tries to keep them happy." He said. "So they just bought the land a long time ago?" He asked.

"Yeah, they bought it. Question is from who?" Blubs said looking down.

"Still on that aye Blubs?" Durland said smirking slightly.

"I'm telling you the files don't lie! Someone owned this land years before them. But I can't find out who, it's weird."

Durland rolled his eyes then looked back at the twins who were listing intently. He quickly jabbed Blubs in the arm. "Uhh hey bud..." He started.

"Oh right, uhh we should go." He said walking back to the car before looking back at the twins. "You didn't hear that from me." he said.

"Right." The two said understating the situation.

Blubs laughed and nodded. "Good, see you around kids." He said as Durland got in the car and drove off.

The twins watched them leave before looking back at each other. "Detective time?" He asked smiling.

"Definitely." Mabel said laughing as they walked along the side walk.

"But where do we start? We literally don't have a single clue." Dipper asked looking back at her.

"Where any good detective starts young Dipper. At The Library!" She said loudly pointing at the old brick building.

Dipper just laughed and followed her inside with Waddles. "Your such a dork Mabel."


The twins were inside the library trying to find out what ever they could about the Northwests. "Man, the Northwests even have an entire section in the library." Dipper said. Waddles had a book in his mouth and walked up to Dipper with it. Dipper smiled and took it from him. "Thanks buddy."

"Lets look around for a bit at least. Try to see if you can find who first bought the town in their family." Mabel said.

After a short time of looking Dipper was able to find the name in the book Waddles gave him. " Oh, here we go. Andrew Northwest, he bought the land in 1842. ...Uhh but I can't find anything here about Who he bought it from."

Mabel walked over to him and looked at the book. "Andrew Northwest... I've defiantly heard that name before. Oh Yeah! The grave yard, he's got the biggest grave stone in the hole place." She said.

"Well that's great but now where do we go from here?" Dipper asked looking back at Mabel.

"I found something we might be able to use here." She said pulling up an old printed out news paper. "It says here that the Northwests buried a time capsule somewhere in the town. But they wouldn't tell anyone where is was put."

"So you think they put the information about who they bought it from in that time capsule then?" Dipper asked.

Mabel nodded and put the newspaper back. "They defiantly didn't want anyone to know. But NOW the question is where did they bury it?"

Dipper smiled and jumped down from his chair. "I have an idea!" He said grinning. "Come On Lets Go!" He said pulling at her arm.

"Alright alright I'm coming." She said following him out the door as Waddles ran along side them.


Dipper lead them back to the graveyard to the area where all the Northwests are buried. Waddles walked around and sniffed at the air as he walked around the graveyard. Mabel looked around and saw Andrew's grave. "Alright Dip, what are we doing here."

Dipper turned to her and smiled. "Well, I figured maybe they buried the capsule with themselves in the graveyard."

Mabel rubbed her head and walked around the tomb stone. "Uhh Dipper I hate to break it to you but if the capsule is in there we can't get it."

"Sure we can, all we have to do is dig it up." He said smiling.

"Grave robbing is illegal Dip. We could be arrested." She said walking around to the back of the tomb. "Whoa! Hey Dip check this out." she said looking a the back of the tomb.

Dipper walked over to where she was. "What it is- Whoa!" On the back of the tomb was a very large and very detailed map off Gravity Falls. "Wow... this has everything in the town up to date. There's the town square, and the pound, and the Museum."

"Yeah but this tomb is like, a hundred years old. So they seriously have been keeping this map up to date for years even though there is another map in the middle of the town?" Mabel said looking over the map.

"Yeah but whats this?" Dipper asked pointing to a spot near the bottom of the map where the forest is.

Mable looked at where he was pointing and saw a symbol carved into the rock. "I don't remember that on the other map." She said looking at it closer. Unlike everything else on the map that was well carved out and and new looking, this symbol was faded and old. It was hard to make out but it looked to be a crescent shape with something in the middle, and to the side of it was what they could only assume was a tree. "What is that?" Mabel asked. "I don't think there's anything out there where that symbol is. It's almost like it's..."

"A marker for something that they want to find. Like maybe a time capsule." Dipper said smiling at his sister. "Should we go looking there?"

Mabel smiled and shrugged. "Why not? It can't hurt right?" She said starting to walk out of the graveyard. "And hey, if we do happen to maybe dig something up by chance, it's out in the middle of no where. And there is nothing illegal about about that." She said smiling.

"Which means we can't be arrested!" Dipper laughed.


The twins made there way out to the forest where the symbol was was carved in and began looking around. "So it is probably by a tree or something. I assume that's what the tree carving was for." Mabel said,

Dipper nodded and looked back at her. "Yeah, probably but there are trees everywhere." He said gesturing around them.

"Yeeaah..." Mabel said looking around.

"HUMAN!" A familiar voice yelled. "It's Good To See You Again." Both the twins recognized it and smiled.

"Gravul!" Dipper yelled excitedly.

With that there was several loud foot steps before Stab and Gravul where reviled. "HI!" Slab yelled.

Gravul grinned and jumped down from Slabs shoulder. "Hello friends." Waddles walked up to him and sniffed at him and gave an oink of approval. "...Hello pig." He said looking down at him before looking back at the twins. "So what are you doing here?" He asked.

Mabel looked down at him and smiled. "Hey Gravul. We're actually looking for something in the forest that may or may not actually be there."

"Oh really? What are you looking for? Me and Slab know this forest like the back of our rock hands." Gravul said looking up at Slab.

"Yeah actually, is there some kind tree that's extra special that you can think of?" Dipper asked.

Gravul and Slab looked at each other. "I can think of a place." Gravul said looking back at them.

"Old Meeting Tree..." Slab said.

Gravul nodded. "Yeah, there's an old tree in the forest where people would gather to do... stuff. Come on we know where it is." He said starting to walk with Slab.

The twins looked at each other and followed them. "So a meeting tree? Did the towns people meet there or something?" Mabel asked.

"No, this was before the town was built. After the town was opened they showed up there less and less. Now it's too the point where we haven't seen them in years." He said looking down.

"Hiding..." Slab said.

Gravul nodded and kept walking. "I think so too brother."

The twins looked at each other before Dipper spoke up. "Do you know who 'They' are?" He asked.

Gravul just shrugged. "Robed people, we tried to stay away from them. We never saw their faces and even if we did it was years ago." Just as he said this he came to a stop. "Here we are, The Old Tree!" In front of them was a redwood tree that seemed to stretch to the sky and as wide as a house.

Dipper smiled and walked up to it with Waddles along side him. "Wow! This is like, the biggest tree I've ever seen ever!" He said looking up at it.

"Yeah..." Mabel started as she walked up to him. "I wonder how old it is."

"Older than us that's for sure." Gravul said. "So what do you guys think may or may not be here anyway?" He asked

"We think something might be buried around here." Mabel answered looking up at the tree.

But not long after that the twins heard some squealing from Waddles as he dug at a spot by the tree. Dipper walked up to him then noticed something carved into the bark of the tree. "Hey! Mabel look at this, I think it's the same symbol again."

"Really?" Mabel asked walking up to him.

Gravul followed him and also looked at the symbol. "Oh yeah, that was their symbol, I think anyway... It was all over their robes and on their banners and stuff."

"Crescent Eye..." Slab said.

Gravul nodded. "Yup, crescent moon with an eye in it. Weird."

Mabel smiled and looked around. "So if the the time capsule is actually buried in this forest then it has to be here. So I guess we should start digging." She said.

"Buy we didn't bring any shoves. Waddles can only dig so much." Dipper said as Waddles looked up at them.

"No Worries! Me and Slab are practically digging machine, despite the fact that we are rocks and not machines. SLAB, Lets Get Started!"

"DIIIGG!" He yelled plunging his hand into the dirt and digging a large hole a few feet deep.

"Way To Go Slab!" Dipper yelled watching him.

Slab dug a few more times before Mabel noticed something. "Hey wait stop. Whats that?" She said pointing at something shinny in the dirt.

"I'll get it." Gravul said jumping down the hole. He dusted off some of the dirt and looked at it. "Hmm, it's definitely not a rock." He said picking it up. It was a shinny metal container painted gold. He climbed back up and handed it to Mabel. "Here you go."

Mabel looked at it and dusted it off alittle, and in doing so revealed a name on the front. 'Northwest'. "...Dipper, I- I think we fond it."

Dipper smiled and walk over to look at it. "Well Come On! Open It Up!"

"Alright alright." She said opening it up. Inside were several pictures of the old Northwest family a few document and a hand written note. "It IS a time capsule... We- We Were Right!" She said turning to Dipper smiling.

Dipper smiled and hugged Mabel. "Yes! Ducktective's Got Nothing On Us!" He said smiling widely.

Mabel laughed and pushed back at him alittle. She looked back at the note and started to read it. "Hey Dip, listen to this." She said starting to read it.

"I have finally bought the land.The people who live on the property here referee to themselves as the Society of the Crescent Eye. I of course didn't expect them to give me the land for free, but to my surprised when I approached them with my request for the land they did not demand money, labor, or food. What they asked for, was loyalty. Not just from me but from my entire family for generations to come. I do not know what they worship or what this crazy cult follows but it will be worth it. I will build my empire on this land."

-Andrew Northwest

"...Uhh wow." Dipper said rubbing his head.

"So it looks like who ever the people you use to see out here are the people the Northwests bought the land from." Mabel said.

"It indeed seems that way." Gravul said looking at them.

"So, we fond it... now what do we do?" Dipper asked.

"I think we should give it to Deputy Blubs. He wanted to know about this right?" She asked looking back at Dipper.

"Alright, let go then." He started. "Bye Gravul, Bye Slab!" He said walking back with Mabel with Waddles right in toe.

"See you guys latter." Gravul said as they left.

"BYE!" Slab yelled waving.


Back in town the twins made there to the station. Mabel looked around and scratched her head. "It seems kinda quiet here."

There was a voice behind them. "That's cause there isn't exactly much crime in this town." Said Durland chuckling. "So what are you two doing here?" He asked looking down at them.

"Hi Sheriff." Dipper said smiling.

"We're looking for the Deputy. We think we fond something he might be interested in." She said hold the time capsule.

Durland quirked an eyebrow and picked it up, looking through it slightly. "And where did you find this?" He asked.

"We dug it up by and old tree." Dipper answered.

Durland read alittle and rubbed his head, looking alittle worried. "Interesting..." He said smiling again at them. "Well hey..." He started as he handed the capsule back to Mabel. "I'm sure Blubs will be happy to see you. He's in the office just down the hall."

"Thanks Sheriff." Mabel said has her and Dipper headed down the hall. They found Blubs siting at the computer at a desk. "Hey officer Blubs, can we talk with you?" Mabel asked.

Blubs looked over and smiled. "Oh hey kids. What is it?"

Dipper smiled and walked in sitting down on a chair. "We might of fond something about who owned the land before."

Blubs looked at them for a second then spoke up. "...Really? What did you find?" He asked.

Mabel walked up to him and handed him the capsule. "We fond this capsule buried out in the forest."

Blubs took it from her and looked at it. "Huh, this... this is something else."

"There's a bunch of documents about the family and the town." Mabel said sitting down.

"And a bunch of pictures and a weird note too." Dipper added.

Blubs looked through the papers more. "Huh, I heard they buried a capsule somewhere, but I never knew where they might of put this." He put the papers down and smiled at the kids. "You kids are something else. I really appreciate you trying to help me. But don't you think you should be heading home? It's getting late." He said.

Dipper smiled and got up. "Yeah, Grunkle Ford will have a fit if we aren't back soon."

Mabel nodded and got up too. "Alright, let go." She said following Dipper out.

"Have a good day kids." Blubs said as the twins walked out.

The Sheriff walked in just as the twins left. "See ya around." He said before looking back Blubs.

Blubs turned to him and waited for the twins to leave before saying anything. "Well..." He started putting the papers on the desk. "Do you still think I'm crazy?" He asked turning back around.

Durland sighed and rubbed his head. "It's not that I thought you were crazy Blubs. It's that I didn't Want you to be right."

Blubs sighed and turned back around. "Neither did I Sheriff."

Dipper and Mabel started back to the museum as Waddles waked beside them. "So I wonder what's going on with that group that we keep hearing a bought." Mabel said looking up at the rising moon.

"You mean the Crescent Eye?" Dipper asked looking back at her.

"Yeah." Mabel started. "I feel like I've seen that symbol a few times since we got here. Remember when we first found the journal. It was there. And then on the map and the tree..."

"And wasn't the same symbol on Pacifica's dress?" Dipper asked. This caused both of them to stop in there tracks.

The two looked at each other before Mabel spoke up. "Something weird is going on in this town. And it's not just the all monster wondering around." She said as they continued to walk.


So there you have it, not too much monster stuff in this one unless you count Gravul and Slab. The twins are finally starting to realize something is going on in this sleepy little town. And I'll be honest with you, I'm figuring it out right along with them. I'm basically laying down the tracks as the train is going forward. Either everything will come to a nice smooth end or the train will crash and everyone will die. Wow that analogue went dark REAL fast.

Oh, and I finally added ciphers, I added one all the chapters too. Go check them out, or at least go check chapter one cause that's where I give you the hint to how to solve the code. Cause I'll tell you right now, It's Not Three Letters Back! ;D
