Mabel's P.O.V.

Almost every picture, in the scrapbook, I'm with my brother, except for a couple of selfies and pictures of just me and my pet pig, but the majority are pictures of Dipper and I. I try remember when these pictures must have been taken. Some of them are from a fishing trip Dipper, Great-uncle Stan, Soos and I went on. I remember very little of that trip, except from a memory which is coming clearer to me now, a day or so ago I tried to remember it and it was fuzzy; It seems a lot clearer now; Dipper, Soos and I were running and trees were falling, we were running from some kind of monster, we were trying to escape to our boat. It was terrifying. A tree fell and would have killed me, but Dipper pushed me out-of-the-way. He saved me, but I can't understand why. I know this was true and he really did save me, but doubt occurs on other memories coming to place. Such as when Dipper supposedly tried to kill me, I can't say I know he really did. If I try to remember it I can remember the actions and Dipper but nothing more of the day or such as how our room looked or what time it was and the type of weather. It's like trying to remember a dream. Or a nightmare.

My mind is overcome with thoughts of hate for Dipper and plots to kill him, but why? Although I think he tried to kill me I can not be sure. How can I trust my memories when I can barely remember how I look. In fact, if it wasn't for these scrap books and vague memories I'd be clueless.

I walk to the door to see if it's open. Nope, locked.

"Please! Let me out!" I yell, pounding on the door.

"No!" Stanford replies.

"Why not?" I ask, not dropping my yelling tone.

"Because you're gonna try kill your brother!" Stanford yells in an angry tone.

That hurt. I can tell he's only trying to protect his nephew, but... If Dipper tried to kill me, how could the old man be so cruel. No wonder my Gideon despises him so.

"Stanford! Let me out!" I order.

He doesn't reply.

"Please." I cry.

I hear a muffled female voice. "Listen to how upset she sounds. I thinks she's calmed down now. Maybe now we could let her see Dipper now, Stan?"

I recognise that girl's voice. What's her name? Mandy? Winnie? Oh, I don't know! I can remember how she looks, she's tall, ginger and quite pretty. She wears a checked jade shirt, grey jeans, muddy boots and a brown trapper hat. I remember she worked part-time at the Mystery shack and...Dipper had a massive crush on her! How is it I can remember all that and not her freaking name! Some things I can clearly remember, but other details and memories i have either completely forgotten or as I've said "seem fuzzy".

I begin pacing. Just walking back and forth across the room and inspecting each object which comes to my attention. One particular object I am drawn to. A book. It's a pink notebook with the words "Mabel's diary!" written on in blue glitter glue and multiple sequins and other coloured glitter embroidering the edges. I flick to a page at random as I don't want to waste time reading the whole diary. The page is written in a bright orange pen which I have to squint to read.

" Dear Diary,

So, today was pioneer day, a day in Gravity Falls to celebrate the day Gravity Falls was founded. Dipper and I were both REALLY excited (especially me!) but Grunkle Stan told us that it was 'bad'. He can be so grumpy and negative at times. Dipper and I gathered around a stage to watch an opening ceremony, and standing center stage was the same girl from the party last week. My competition, Pacifica Northwest. She said that her Great-Great-Grandfather founded Gravity Falls and she asked anyone wo had "Pioneer day spirit" to come on up and introduce themselves. So, despite Dippers warnings I did. Big mistake. I thought Pacifica and I could just put the party behind us, but I was wrong. Pacifica called me silly and made fun of my outfit, humiliating me in front the whole town. I ran off the stage crying, luckily Dipper was supportive and comforted me, but I still felt like a sad, silly little girl.

I sulked up against a statue of Nathaniel Northwest eating butterscotch. Dipper comforted me and began cursing Pacifica. He then took his weird journal out and read an article which suggested that Pacifica's relative didn't found Gravity Falls and was a fraud. An enclosed document sent us on a trip to the library, the Gravity Falls museum of history, the cemetery, an underground cavern full of historic-y conspiracy things and eventually a train to Washington! We even allianced with the 8th and a-half president who preserved himself inside a solid block of peanut-brittle! And guess what? My silliness saved the day! And even though I didn't feel the need to expose Pacifica's family as a shame, Dipper still did! It was so funny!

Grunkle Stan was wrong, pioneer day is the best!

After reading this I don't know what to think anymore. Everything is different now.


Cashmere's P.O.V.

I slowly walk into the main room where Gideon is already typing on the laptop.

"Cashmere! I think I've got this!" Gideon greets me.

"What? Do you think you know what type of symbols they are?" I eagerly ask.

"I do!" Gideon smiles. "I was looking up ancient symbols and these came up." Gideon shows me and pictures of some symbols titled runes.

"Well, they look sort of similar to the symbols in the circles." I point out. "Anything else?"

"No." Gideon quickly and aggressively replies.

"So what do they translate to?" I ask.

"I don't know." Gideon admits, getting angrier. "I don't see you doing anything to help!"

"Don't shout at me." I scowl.

"What?!" Gideon purposely shouts.

"I said "Don't shout at me"!" I shout back.

"I'll do what I want!" Gideon yells.

"Yeah, well-"

The sound of a door opening alerts us. Gideon and I both stop arguing and carefully listen. Small footstep come toward us as an intruder invites himself in. Gideon and I both back toward the wall of weapons, ready for a fight. As the intruder steps into the light, I take an arrow and shoot directly at his heart, ending his life.

"Nice on, Cash'!" Gideon chuckles.


Hmmm, who do you think the intruder was that Cashmere killed? Lol, I know none of you will ever guess it :D

Please leave a review and let me know what you thought of this chapter :)
