Chapter 2
Wendy came inside the shack ready for her shift and greeted Mabel behind the counter. "Hey Mabes! What up girl?" she said with a high five.
"I'm doing good. And desperate for this day to be over!" said Mabel.
Candy and Grenda came in wearing a black dress similar to Mr. Mystery's clothes. Soos, the new Mr. Mystery gave them that job for the summer, but they stayed ever since.
"You two ready to scare off customers?" asked Mabel.
"You know it." Said Candy.
Grenda flexed her muscle. "I'm so ready to smash." She said excitedly.
Matt came into the shop from the back door and smiled mischievously. He walked by the ladies hoping to get some attention from them with his cologne.
It didn't take long for Candy and Grenda to notice Matt walking by them with a smile. Mabel began to chuckle.
"Mateo Pines Garcia. What are you up to?" said Mabel, playing along with Matt's game.
"You look like your going someplace fun. Got a date?" said Wendy winking at Matt.
"Me? Maybe." Said Matt posing like a model.
Candy and Grenda both cackled with delight. "Is she cute as you Matty boy?" asked Grenda.
"It can't be that cute little girl with the red hair? She lives down the street where I Live. Maybe I can introduce you to her." Said Candy patting Matt's head.
Matt was delighted with the attention he was receiving until he slipped on the wet floor and fell on his bottom.
"Sorry! I forgot to mention I mopped the floor." Said Mabel.
"There goes my big moment." Said Matt as he laughed at himself. Candy and Grenda helped him up.
"To impress the girls Matt, try to put on a more weaker cologne. The one you have on is a little too strong." Said Wendy.
"Too strong?! I thought that thing worked." Said Matt.
"Well here is a piece of advice from us; be cute and adorable." Said Candy.
"Like that's help." Said Mabel.
Tyrone came inside the shop and smiled at everyone. "You guys are having a party and you didn't invite me?" said Tyrone.
"Keep your voice down. Mr. Pines doesn't like the P word." Said Wendy with a sly smile.
"What P word guys?" said Dipper who came in after Tyrone did. He was wearing the same black Mr. Mystery suit and he was wearing an eye patch similar to what his Uncle used to wear.
"Pacifica Northwest!" said Grenda. Dipper jumped to his feet.
"What?! Where!? Pacifica Poo!?" he said aloud. Everyone in the room began to laugh.
"She's not here yet." Said Wendy with a chuckle.
"Pacifica Poo? What the heck is that?!" cried Mabel with a laugh.
"Man guys. I thought she was really here." Said Dipper.
"I heard she was coming this afternoon to see you. You should be ready." Said Candy as she and Grenda walked towards the door for work.
"Today!? Why didn't anyone tell me!?" cried Dipper in a panic.
"Take it easy dude." Said Tyrone.
Wendy walked up to Dipper and she placed her hands on his shoulders. Wendy was surprisingly taller than Dipper by a few inches. She was the oldest in the group and mature, but she was also a good person and friend to everyone.
"If Pacifica were to come here, you be yourself and mess up. She likes that about you." Said Wendy.
"Okay, I'll try to be myself." Said Dipper.
"You are not trying. You WILL be you." Said Wendy.
"Okay." Replied Dipper softly.
"You can't be uptight bro bro." said Mabel.
Tyrone walked up to Matt and patted his shoulder. "Let's go." He whispered. Matt nodded and walked out the door with him.
"So let me get this straight….. you never came to this place ever?" asked Matt as he walked with Tyrone in the forest.
"Nope. Mom and Dad didn't allow me to go because of my condition. I'm in the same boat as you in this place. We are both new." Said Tyrone.
Matt walked up ahead and turned around. "You were right about the cologne I put on. It was spicy for the ladies." Said Matt.
"I told you that was going to tickle someone's nose." Said Tyrone.
Matt looked at the sky with a funny fake scowl. "Thanks a lot Marcos!" he said aloud.
Tyrone tried not to laugh, but he chuckled a little. This was the first time Matt made a joke about Marcos, his brother who passed away earlier this year. Although a little too soon for the joke though, but Tyrone didn't say anything.
Earlier this year, Tyrone and his brother and sister faced off against a sinister Bogey Man and Bill Cipher, the Ex ruler of Gravity Falls. During the whole struggle with the two villains, Mabel was taken to a Dream World in her sleep and found Matt there. After she woke up, she and her family went to OHSU Hospital to rescue Matt and they took him home. In time, Matt became a new family member to the Pines, and their parents had everything legalized.
After reminiscing a little, Tyrone stopped in his tracks and looked at his phone. "According to the map, this hiking trail would take us into a park. We could go there. Or we could take the risk." Said Tyrone.
"What do you mean?" asked Matt.
Tyrone smiled and patted Matt's head. "We can go to where Dipper warned us not to go." He replied.
"Your thinking what I'm thinking?" said Matt.
"Yeah. Let's break a few rules." Said Tyrone.
The two brothers walked ahead and went to a the hiking trail, hoping to get out of the path that was marked. When they reached the fork on the path, they took the left side, despite that there were Keep Out signs.
"Looks dangerous. I wonder what's there." Said Tyrone.
"Area 51. I know it's area 51!" said Matt.
"Let's check this out." Said Tyrone with glee. They two of them went deeper into the forest and it got darker and darker as they went forward. Tyrone and Matt were both looking in anticipation as they spotted light at the end of the dark hiking trail.
"Please let there be an abandoned theme park." Said Matt.
The boys finally got out of the forest and there was a marvelous field in the open. Far in the horizon were large Elephants with pink polka dots and Mammoths. Giant Manitours were also there roasting pigs on a fire, and unicorns running in the open field.
"Wow! This place… it's so beautiful." Said Matt.
"Just like how Dipper and Mabel described this place." Said Tyrone.
"But I wonder why Dipper didn't want us to come here." Said Matt.
"Maybe because he thought we wouldn't handle it." Said Tyrone.
The boys walked forward and they both heard a loud noise. A bird like noise. They turned and saw a giant black bird flying in the sky. And right in front of the boys, a young man around Tyrone's age was running towards them.
"Run! Run Away fools!" he cried. The bird swooped towards the ground trying to take the boy, but it missed and fly back into the sky.
Matt and Tyrone were both on the ground and they got up as the bird flew away. The boy also stood up and wiped the dirt off his weird clothes. He was wearing a black tank top, had brown shaggy hair, had green shorts and had belts as wristbands on both his arms. He was even armed with a large sword on his back. He looked as if he came from an anime convention.
"You two guys are lucky the bird missed you. I was going to be Lightning Bird chow." Said the boy.
"At least your in one piece. Are you lost?" asked Tyrone.
"Lost? Me? No man, I'm good." Said the boy.
