What time is it? ADVEEENNNTURE TIMMMEEEEE! Actually, I know nothing about Adventure Time. :-) Anyway, back to Pacifica's POV.

Humming as I carefully make a couple of stiches, I grin. Mabel's teaching me how to knit, and I'm actually picking it up pretty easily. Dipper's reading that book of his, and Mabel's also knitting. It's been three days since I arrived at the Shack that morning, with just a backpack, blonde hair, and a llama neckalce.

My brown hair falls in my eyes and I brush it away, but it falls again. I'm in the attic room right now, so I have no need to braid my hair like I usually do otherwise.

Dipper then yells

"MABEL, CHECK THIS OUT!"

I drop my knitting needles and the ball of yarn positioned next to me starts rolling. I catch it, then turn to look at Dipper.

"Dipper, what is it?" I inquire.

Dipper blanches, then says, "NOTHING!"

Mabel rolls her eyes.

"Look Dippin' Sauce, this is our "cousin" (She made air quotes at this), just tell her about the journal already!"

Dipper sighs, then looks at me. I shrug and walk up to him, then plop myself on the bed on the other side of Dipper.

"This is a journal I found in the woods. It talks about all the crazy stuff that goes on in Gravity Falls. I don't know what it means, or who wrote it. But, after all, you're our sorta cousin, so maybe you should know about it."

He hands me the book, and I thumb through the old pages. I see the whole ghost category thing he was talking about at the party, and I see a whole buncha other stuff too. Gnomes, some weird weapon plan or whatever, a squash with a face?

"This is... weird."

"Oh, thanks." Dipper says with a hint of sarcasm.

I grin at him. "What were you going to show Mabel?"

He shows me a page with a picture of a crystal. It's labled as the Ice Crystal, and it can only be picked up with a magical golden scepter. Apparently, it can freeze anything it touches except for it's perch and the scepter. I have to admit, the author must have been a good artist, because the crystal looks beautiful.

"Are we gonna find it?" says Mabel.

Dipper nods.

Mabel smiles at me.

"Well 'Cifica, want to go on your first adventure with the Mystery Twins?"

"Is that what you guys are calling yourselves?" I ask, a smile slowly growing on my face.

"Yep!" exclaims Mabel.

"Well," I say, starting to braid my hair, "let's go then. But this can't take too long, I need to be back in like 3 hours to make dinner."

I know, it's short. But with testing and all that junk, I've been busy. Next part will come out next Friday probably. Sorry! -Skye
