Welcome to ... Gravity Falls? Part 1

Dipper is in the room he shared with his twin, Mabel was peacefully asleep in his bed, but Dipper was a story, he was on his own, he was lying on his back, but he was far from sleeping, his eyes were fine open, staring at the ceiling, as if his mind was convinced that the ceiling had the answers for today's events.

He continued to stare at the ceiling while he closed his eyes, but the place of falling into the arms of Morpheus, and beginning to see what dreams brought him today, his mind reproduced the memories of his first day at Gravity Falls flooded his mind from the beginning to the end.

And being honest, I still couldn't believe anything.

(Gravity Falls / early summer / first day of the twins / 8.30 am)

Dipper and Mabel finally reached their destination, and got off the bus once they reached the passenger terminal.

The plan was simple, to get there, wait for his great-uncle Stan to come and pick them up and then go wherever his new home is serious for the rest of the summer. And the truth was that way.

Except for a tiny detail.

"Mabel ... are you seeing the same as me, right?" Dipper asked with his gaze full of amazement.

"Yes, I see it too and I don't think so ..." he said just as stunned "a human-sized hamster ball with customizable neon lights! It's amazing!"

That confused Dipper in the extreme, he looked at his sister who was distracted watching a magazine, he violently snatches it, she is going to claim him for that when he sees him pointing forward, he sees what he is pointing and runs out of words .

The whole place seemed to have been directly taken from some science fiction movie or videogames, the whole place, from its complex, enough and beautiful architecture, which covered the whole place, to the slightest screw, seemed to be made by both humans and Los Precursors of some ancient civilization, all united in a structure which was as advanced, as complex, as fictitious as it was beautiful.

People inside the place wore thin and very expensive clothes, as well as futuristic in appearance, as well as devices that generated holograms, or surrounded by different holographic screens, moving from one place to another, much more.

An employee approached them and guided them out of the bus platform to a waiting room, which helped not only to appreciate more of the terminal, but they realized a lot of wonders in the stores of the end, and In Dipper's case, he realized that the terminal was not just bus.

He could see in the distance how aircrafts arrived or departed from different points of the terminal, planes and ships in general more advanced

They had to stay asleep on the bus and they were dreaming, yes, surely that was it, or they had eaten something in disrepair, or surely it was those "aspirins" that Mabel gave him for his pains, which he would not have taken if he had known that she found in the bathroom of the bus.

"Whoa," said Mabel, Dipper couldn't agree more with his opinion.

"Hey, hey! Kids! Dipper, Mable, here I am!" a thick, scratchy and masculine voice caught their attention, as did the person who came to be in front of them.

He was an older man, about 60 years old, with a red coat, glasses, light brown raincoat, black pants and brown boots, with short hair, well combed and cared for, with gray hair in the area of his legs. , and glasses.

"Are you Stand?" Dipper asked, getting out of his stupor with difficulty, Mabel was still a prisoner of surprise, so he grabbed her hand as she headed for her Uncle Grandfather, who received him with a warm welcome.

"Nice to meet you, Stanford Pine, but you can call me only Ford, you're Dipper, or am I wrong?" Ford asked shaking his nephew's hand to greet him.

"Actually my name is ..." Dipper started, but stopped when he saw that Ford had six fingers on his hand, when he saw the extra phalanges, something very deep in Dipper, he felt an intense repelus, so he I look at Ford, or rather: his hand, in a slightly discreet way, he noticed how he was practically hypnotized by his peculiarity and told him.

"It's not contagious, you know," I jokingly say, Dipper was frightened and blushed with shame and responded to the greeting.

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to." Dipper started with an attempt to apologize, but his uncle interrupted him with a laugh.

"Ha ha ha, you should see your face, and neglect, it always happens at the beginning, at least you did not try to stab me are a fork, or incinerate me" I say with a smile on his face, and with a very intense good humor, Dipper did not know how answer that.

"By the way you were going to tell me your real name, what is it?" asked Ford curious.

"Well my name really is-" Dipper was going to answer but ...

"SEE ALL THAT ?!"

"GAH!"

"AHH!"

Mabel interrupted him extremely abruptly, as if it were a train crash in a boat, almost giving Ford a heart attack of fright, and Dipper as well.

Ford was surprised by his reaction, and I noticed that he had a great and surprising scare, but quickly resumed his good mood and laughed at his reaction.

"You must be Mabel," said Ford.

After Mabel was surprised by Ford's extra fingers, much more positively than Dipper, they left the huge terminal, which seriously was a massive place.

His were in his car, which by the way, was very strange, an old model perished but that numerous hidden improvements inside for every occasion, how do you know? Ford told them, he gave them a little tutorial, of which buttons and levers to pull, all in case of a specific emergency, interestingly, even when he made use of an extremely rich lexicon in its quick and a bit complex explanation, he did not know the meaning of the word tutorial until your nephew said so.

Dipper was able to capture everything quickly, but Mabel took him about three times to explain it to him ... but still he still didn't understand.

As they moved away from the terminal the twins could appreciate, not only the advanced and modern of the planes, both when arriving and when taking off, taking off in it, but they also noticed that, although it had a very advanced and beautiful appearance both Outside as inside, it had a size that differed with its massive interior, at least for Dipper, whose brain did the math and did not add up to his calculations.

In addition to that, they also noticed that, although the passenger terminal was a place of distinctive architectural design, the rest of the town was a little different, not only because while some buildings had an advanced design, others seemed frozen in time, in different decades, and one or another in ruins.

but what surprised them the most was not the buildings themselves, but the people who inhabited the town. The reason? Many of them were creatures, creatures of various mythologies and fantasy. there were a lot of different creatures in sight, harpies, lamia, dragons (of huamana size), minotaurs among many others, both known and unknown

If before Dipper thought he was hallucinating, he was now convinced ... or well, he would be if his twin was not seeing the same thing, and doubted that no matter how close they were, they could hallucinate the same thing at the same time.

"Uncle Ford" began, "what are those?" Mabel asked, disbelief flooded her voice.

"Them Mabel, Them," corrected Ford, who didn't seem surprised, obviously.

"And answering your question: it's the locals, some of them, I think it would be better to talk while we eat something"

They stopped at a cafeteria, which seemed to Dipper to be built in the 50s, since by its appearance, it was abandoned at that time and just reopened, something that contrasted with even that the appearance of the cafeteria was far from A five star restaurant, the food was excellent.

They were attended by a waitress, who turned out to be an anthropomorphic Wolf, Mabel ordered a pancake tower with chocolate syrup, popcorn, and custard, Dipper some eggs with bacon, with a couple of toasts, and Ford just a coffee.

While they were eating, Ford asked him.

"And tell me what you plan to do here."

"cffugir ung nogfio pfrrto fof eshte vesharis" said Mabel who tried to speak with her mouth full, which earned her a look of strangeness from her uncle Ford.

"She wants to get a boyfriend, as part of her summer love plan," Dipper explained to his uncle, who had a face of massive bewilderment.

"Oh! I see, For a second I thought he said something about chewing glass." Ford said clearer now. "And your Dipper?"

"Well, it would be nice to know what is happening here, and how the monsters of different bestiaries became real ... just to start" Dipper REALLY wanting an answer to everyone. and in part he wondered if his sister completely forgot about this situation.

"Even though on the other hand, she is Mabel, surely her dream of a vampire boyfriend is now a more realistic goal, so she must think that she is out there waiting for her" Dipper thought to himself, at the bottom of his being, a Part of him felt a lot of pity when he thought about that, even though he wasn't sure if he was hurt by his twin or the vampire.

He mentally slapped when he saw that his mind was out of the main subject, so he quickly redirected all his attention to his uncle Ford, and the much needed answers.

"Ok, but the first thing you should know is how not to call them, and they don't take well being called beasts or monsters," Ford said, giving a discreet look to the left, one that Dipper caught, so he looked in the direction that the , and he saw that on a table, a harpy, an anthropomorphic Rat and a pair of huge women with red and blue skin, with a horn on their forehead each, a pair of Oni`s if Dipper was not mistaken, sat which by his look you could tell he was offended by the comment.

"And the second thing you should know is ..." Ford took a sip of his coffee and asked both "have you heard of the SCP or MIB Foundation?"

The look of confusion of Dipper and Mabel answered the question, Ford prepared, had many things to explain.

To be continue.
