A/N: All right, This chapter is the first that gives Dipper a love interest... he's getting five planned of both genders (well the guys will both be delusional about Dipper's situation)... also Wendy is not one... for now at least... I might change my mind later... enjoy!
Chapter 4: The Kitsune
The twins were getting packed up for the day. They packed up thermoses, lunch, other supplies and seeds.
"Wait… seeds?" asked Dipper.
"Yeah, just in case you run out of plants for some reason. "said Mabel.
"We're going to be search in the forest." Said Dipper.
"Who knows if the we're be in area with no plants." Said Mabel.
Dipper sighed at that logic.
And so they went down stairs to leave.
"Where are you two going?" asked Stan.
"Just a nature walk." Said Mabel.
"just be careful, if something else happens to you I don't know how your will parents will react." Said Stan.
"Have you told them yet?" asked Dipper.
"Not yet." Said Stan.
"You're going to have to tell them eventually." Said Dipper .
"Yeah, yeah." Said Stan.
And so the two left to search the area of the forest where the Dipper found Journal 3.
Dipper was lost thought as he thought about this.
As he did he didn't notice a small red fox looking at them.
"Hey what's wrong Bro-bro." said Mabel.
"Just trying to think if the journal is here after all." Said Dipper.
"Why wouldn't it be." Said Mabel.
"Well for all we knew he might have hid it far away form here." Said Dipper, "After all if it has all important information then it's probably better to hide far away."
"Maybe…" said Mabel blinking.
"But then again hiding them close together would also be a good idea, after all. No one would go looking for both of them in the same area." Said Dipper.
Mabel looked at her twin brother.
"Hey look a fox!" she yelled out.
She pointed to the fox that seemed to watching them.
The fox approached them.
"Oh it seems to like people." Said Mabel.
"Be careful Mabel." Said Dipper, "It might be dangerous."
"If it's dangerous why is it riding my shoulder?" asked Mabel.
Indeed the fox had climbed onto Mabel's shoulder when Dipper wasn't looking.
Dipper looked at the fox on Mabel's shoulder.
"Seriously?" asked Dipper.
The fox looked at him, Dipper wasn't sure but it looked like the fox was smirking.
"Come on! It's nice!" said Mabel petting the fox on the head.
"I don't trust it." Said Dipper.
After checking the area of the fake tree where Dipper found Mabel got an idea.
"Maybe you can check if there's another fake tree nearby." Said Mabel.
"Fine." Sighed Dipper knowing what she meant.
He took out a water bottle and poured it on himself, turning him into Ursa.
The fox was surprised at this and stared at Ursa.
"Wow a Jusenkyo Curse, didn't expect you two to have one." Said the fox.
"You just talked!" yelled Ursa.
The fox jumped off Mabel, figuring that Ursa would try to attack her.
"Relax I'm not evil." Said the fox.
That was when the fox transformed into a girl around their age, with orange hair. IT was very long and there a small part in her bangs, she also wore some very fashionable clothes, however her foxtail remained.
"What are you?" asked Ursa.
"I'm a Kitsune, I just like hang out in the forest sometimes." Said the girl, "I've never seen you two around so I decided to hang around see what you two are like. Never expected you to have a Jusenkyo Curse though."
"What's a Kitsune?" asked Mabel.
"It's a type of fox with special powers, we originated from Japan." Said the girl.
"Wait Japan?" asked Ursa, "Then what are Kitusnes doing here?"
"What do you turn into?" asked the girl.
"A dryad." Sighed Ursa.
"Their freedom Greece but some came over seeking a better life in America." Said the girl, "Same with Kitsunes and a lot of the other creatures here… or were brought here by people for reasons."
"She has a point." Said Mabel with a shrug.
"Fine." Muttered Ursa," Anyways there's only one fake tree and it's the one I already found."
"So what are you looking for?" asked the girl.
"Just a book that's hidden somewhere." Said Mabel.
"Don't tell her that!" said Ursa.
"But what if she knows something!" said Mabel.
"Haven't seen anything like that." Said the girl.
"I'm Mabel by the way!" said Mabel.
The girl looked like she was thinking about something.
"How about you can call me Kitsu." Said the girl.
Ursa looked at her.
"Did you just come up with that right now." Said Ursa.
"I never had to use an alias." Said Kitsu.
"Really?" asked Ursa, "Who are you really?"
"None of your business, as long you keep your mouth shut about seeing me." Said Kitsu.
"Calm down! Calm down!" said Mabel getting in between the two, "Let's just have lunch now!"
Thankfully they had a little extra food so they were able to share some with Kitsu.
"So you're new in town." Said Kitsu.
"We're visiting for the summer, but we might end up staying longer." Said Mabel.
"Why?" asked Kitsu.
"I turn into a Dryad." Pointed out Ursa who had yet to change back.
"I also turn into a unicorn!" said Mabel so that the two would argue again.
"You got a unicorn curse, that's not too bad… I think…" said Kitsu, "Can you talk."
"With my mind! But it's annoying I don't' have hands any more." Said Mabel.
"It's good that you like the curse considering you're stuck with it for the rest of you life." Said Kitsu, "Though I guess it's more embarrassing for your new sister."
Ursa blushed when she said that.
"You seem to know a lot about these curses." Said Ursa.
"I lived in this town my whole life." Said Kitsu, "OF course I do who doesn't in this town?"
"I mean from experience." Said Ursa.
Before Kitsu could respond they heard some growling. They looked around and saw some strange wolf like creatures.
"What are these?" asked Mabel.
Ursa decided to check the journal.
She couldn't find anything about these wolf like creatures.
"Put the dumb book down and fight them!" yelled Kitsu.
"It's not dumb!" yelled Ursa.
Mabel grabbed some water and splashed her self and kicked away some of the strange wolves.
"All right!" cheered May Belle.
That was when Kitsu created some blue fire and send it at the wolves.
It did scare off the wolves a little.
Ursa used some tree roots to entangle some of them.
That was when Kitsu picked up some rocks and threw them at the wolves, as when did they turned boulder sized.
"All right!" cheered May Belle.
However the wolves quickly recovered.
"Nice try little Kitsune! But we know all your illusionary tricks." Said one of the wolves.
"You can talk?" asked Ursa.
"OF course we can…" said the wolves, "Just because we're not werewolves doesn't mean we can talk."
The wolves noticed one of the unopened thermoses and they all smirked evilly.
One of them grabbed one and began to pry it open.
"Really?" asked May Belle.
She preceded to kick that wolf, however thanks to the kick the Thermos opened up, spelling its contents on Kitsu.
They watched as they changed from a red hair girl to a blonde girl and it was clear she was human.
And she was naked.
She screamed but she was suddenly covered by a bush.
"Thank you." Said the girl, "You didn't see anything… did you!"
"Of course not." Said Ursa blushing.
"And don't you dare say what I think you're going opt say!" yelled the girl.
"You mean I knew it!" said Ursa.
"Can you two stop fighting and help me"! called out May Belle.
"I'd like to help but I'm stuck as a human right now!" said the girl.
"Which is perfect…" said one of the wolves.
IT was about to pounce her but it was engaged in roots.
"We know you're a human with a Jusenkyo curse." Said one of the wolves.
"So tell us fake thing… what are you?" asked the wolves.
"I'm a dryad." Sighed Ursa.
The wolves began to get a little scared.
"Doing the thermos thing won't work." Said one of the wolves.
"You know… I think it's better if we just leave…" said one of the other wolves.
The wolves all fled, expect for the ones entangled.
The girls blinked.
"Hey you okay?" asked Ursa.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Said the girl looking at Ursa blushing a little.
"Hey why are you blushing?" asked May Belle in a sly voice.
"BECAUSE I'M NAKED WITH ONLY A BUSH COVERING ME!" yelled the girl.
Ursa splashed her with a bottle of water, shrinking her into her fox form.
"Thank you." Replied Kitsu, then turned to her Kitsune/human form.
Ursa grabbed a thermos and poured on himself.
"Wait if you have clothes now, why were you naked?" asked May belle.
"These clothes are an illusion." Explained the girl.
"Oh…" said May Belle.
"SO what were you doing here in the woods?" asked Dipper.
"I like to go into the woods sometimes and explore in my fox form." Said Kitsu, "By the way the two of you better not blab when you find out who I am… no ones supposed opt know I have a Jusenkyo Curse!"
"What? Why?" asked May Belle.
"You'll understand soon." Said Kitsu, "That's all I'm going to tell you."
"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Dipper.
"I just said you'll understand soon…" said Kitsu.
She looked at Dipper and began to blush again.
"Look I should go, my parents might notice I'm missing soon. They hate it whenever I do it." Said Kitsu.
Kitsu turned back tot her fox form and scampered away.
"Um… Dipper." Said May Belle, "No hands."
"Oh right." Said Dipper.
He turned her back to normal.
"You think we're going opt see her again soon?" asked Mabel.
"I hope not." Muttered Dipper, "I think we should head back."
"Yeah, that was a rough day." Sighed Mabel.
They headed back to the mystery shack.
Meanwhile Kitsu made it to a mansion on the top of the hill, she climbed up a tree to an open window and jumped through it. It was a bedroom, on a table was an electric kettle, she turned into her Kitsune Human and poured the contests on herself turning her back human.
She put on her clothes and there was a knock on the door.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's unlocked." Said the girl.
The door opened and a man who looked like a stereotypical butler entered the room.
"Pacifica." Said a ma..
"Yes?" asked the girl who's real name was Pacifica.
"Just here to check up on you since you decided to stay home today." Said the man.
"I see." Said Pacifica.
"Good, after all the staff did see a fox outside today." Said the man.
Pacifica froze.
"Don't' worry, your parents are unaware." Said the man.
"Thank you." Sighed Pacifica, "You may leave now."
The man left the room and shut the door. Pacifica decided to go on her computer.
She was about look up Dipper… but realized she didn't have his last name. She began to blush.
"Why am I thinking about him." Said Pacifica, "He's nothing but some dork who turns into a dryad!"
She sighed.
Pacifica was the richest girl in town, not only that but her many times great grandfather founded the town (or at least that's what was said).
And she had just devolved a crush on Dipper.
But the Pines Twins wouldn't know who she really was for a while…
