"Let go of my foot you stupid plant!" The boy with the goggles yelled.

With one last tug, the boy yanked his foot free, falling through a bush and into a clearing.

"Okay note to self: picking a random direction when lost in the middle of the woods is the worst idea ever!" The boy said, still talking to himself.

'Who just wanders alone in the middle of the forest like that' a voice said.

Startled, the boy with goggles turned around to see a boy wearing a white and blue hat with a pine tree printed on it. The hatted boy was sitting on top of a large bolder reading a red book.

The two boys stared at each other, each taking in the other appearance before one of them decided to speak up.

"So, umm, do you know the way out of these woods?" the boy with goggles asked.

The boy with the hat blinked. "Ah, no. not really. I think I hit my head or something, because the last thing I remember is going to sleep in my bed."

"Wait, so you don't remember anything either? Huh, I thought it was just me." The boy with goggles thought aloud. "So what are you going to do?"

"I'm sorry?"

"We both have no memories and are in the middle of nowhere. Surely you must be planning to do something."

The boy with the hat sighed. He just wanted to get back to the weird red book he found when he had woken up.

"My plan is to read and wait for an adult." the boy with the hat replied.

"Uh huh, and how is that book going to help us get out of these woods?"

"Who says I'm trying to get out of these woods? After all the smartest thing to do when you're lost is to stay where you are so an adult can come and find you!"

Both boys glared at each other. Seeing that neither was going to back down, the boy with the hat looked down at the book. The boy with goggles looked around the clearing, trying to come up with a better plan than wandering in a random direction.

It wasn't long before the goggled boy spoke up again. "So how do you know if an adult is looking for you?"

The other boy sighed but did not answer.

"I mean I typically leave my uh... house for a few days and after that my Dad will try to find me."

The boy with the hat stopped his reading. While it was true that his family would be looking for him, everything about the situation seemed wrong in his mind. For one, his family lived nowhere near a forest. Two, if he was lost, his sister would be nearby regardless of what trouble he had gone looking for. Finally, he knew that he had spent last night outside, thus making it at least five hours since he had gone missing. Even five hours was enough to find someone in the woods or at least start a search party, right?

Deciding that maybe the other kid had the right idea about looking for civilization, the boy with the hat slide down of the rock.

"Well then we should get going." The boy with the hat said.

"Huh?"

"Look although we should stay where we are normally, both of us have admitted to not knowing anything about the current situation. I think now it might be better to try to find a town or something where we might be able to find someone who can give us some answer. Are you with me?"

The goggled boy smiled "Yeah I'm with you. I'm Razputin, but you can call me Raz."

"Dipper." The other boy said smiling.


Ugh what hit me, the young girl thought. And why are the lights on?

Nearby the girl could hear someone else muttering. Looking in the direction of the noise, the girl saw a paled skinned girl with a yellow rain jacket on. The said girl was pacing back and forth, talking about how she would murder that boy next time she saw him.

Upon seeing that the girl was finally awake, the older girl knelt down.

"Hey are you okay?" The older girl asked. "I know you must be scared but everything will be okay. I'll get us out of here."

The younger of the two scoffed. What does she think I am, a toddler? I could set her on fire if I wanted to.

The older girl, who had no idea what the younger was thinking, proceeded to inspect the girl for injuries.

Ok, she looks like she is not too young. Though those pig tails say otherwise. I'll have to get her out of here before that masked freak comes back.

"I'm Coraline Jones." the older girl said.

The younger girl proceeded to glare. Her fingerless gloves clenched in rage.

"Look, I promise I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to help you get back to your parents."

"Hurt me? As if a little girl like you could even touch me." The younger girl yelled and finally getting off the ground. "In fact, with a light-weight like you I could throw you around the room with my eyes shut."

"Well excuse me for trying to help you. I guess I didn't realize that a little baby like you needed her bottle when she got up for her nap." Coraline said, retaliating.

"Baby! Listen here you little blue-haired princess, you have two seconds to take that back before I take everything in this room, set it on fire and shove it up your-"

A cough stopped the younger girl before she could finish her sentence. In the doorway the boy with the spiky hair stood looking at the two girls.

"Um… I'm happy the two of you are up. I made some breakfast, if you want it." The boy said.

"Uh, thanks." Coraline said, happy to not be dealing with the other girl.

"Yeah thanks." The younger girl said while rolling her eyes at the boy.

The boy smiled. "I'm Norman, Norman Babcock. Do any of you know what went on in here?"

For the first time the two girls looked around the gift shop. Various pamphlets about local attractions were scattered around the room. The pig tailed girl even thought she saw a few faking looking snake scales scattered around the floor.

"No, sorry." Coraline answered.

"Oh, do you know where we are then?" Norman said, nervously scratching the back of his head.

The pigtailed girl picked up one of the pamphlet off the floor. "Gravity Falls," she read, looking at a pamphlet.

"Gravity Falls. I've heard of that place. It's supposed to be the most mysterious place in the world." Coraline said dramatically.

Norman shrugged. There went his idea about his parents taking him camping. Even with them recently accepting his power to talk to the dead they still never would take him to a place like Gravity Falls. Especially since it was across the country.

Norman turned his attention back to the youngest of the three . "So, what's your name?" He asked.

"Huh? Oh, it's Lili Zanotto."

At that moment the two girl's stomachs rumbled rather loudly.

"So, ah, about that breakfast?" Coraline asked, blushing.

Norman smiled and led them to where he had found the kitchen.


Yeah, new chapter. Hope you enjoy it.
