Dipper glanced up at the clock on the wall, begging for class to be over. He had almost ditched his class so he could continue working on the translating of the tablet. But unfortunately he had to go to his classes. Whatever the stone tablet said it could wait, no matter how impatient he was. He drummed his fingers on his lap and then his teacher, a woman known as Miss Alberts, talked. She was one of the most boring teachers he had, and right now he really couldn't focus.
V"Alright that's it for today." Miss Alberts said.
IDipper grabbed his bag and hurried out. He hurried down the hallway and gasped as he slammed into someone and fell back on his butt. "Ow." He groaned.
G"What's the rush?" A hand reached out and Dipper looked up. He was surprised to see a familiar hoodie jacket.
E"Robbie?" Dipper asked. It was only then that he noticed the two year old in Robbie's other arm. "What are you doing here?"
N"I'm visiting my family." He helped pull Dipper up. "Are you really old enough to be here now?" Robbie smiled. "I thought you had another year left of high school."
EDipper smiled. "And I thought you moved away from Gravity Falls with Tambry."
R"We did." Robbie said as he rocked the little girl, who looked a lot like Robbie. "We had enough of all the crazy stuff that happens here, but it's my mom's birthday this weekend." He sighed. "So of course we had to come. Tambry and I came to say hi to Wendy, Nate and Thompson. We're all heading out actually to hang out tonight and mess with Thompson on old times." He laughed. "You should come."
E"Thanks for the invite, but I actually have a lot to do." Dipper thought of the tablet.
ROh come on." Robbie smirked. "You can take a break from studying. Take it from your elder."
E"Well… I guess…." Dipper glanced at his backpack. "I can come for a little."
"Sweet." Robbie grinned. "See you later kid." He slapped Dipper on the back with one hand before heading off.
Dipper glanced after Robbie and then sighed. There went his plans to decipher the code. He shook his head, he had too much homework to take care of. He started walking back towards his apartment. He had so much homework to work on before he even thought about trying to decipher more.
RealA few hours later Dipper was arriving at the graveyard, where apparently Robbie had decided would be the best place to meet up.
vampires"Hey Dipper!" Wendy waved her hand. "Mabel!"
dont"Hey!" Mabel had decided to tag along as well, after Dipper had told her what was going on. "How's that baby girl of yours?"
sparkle"She's good. Tambry answered. "Robbie's parents are looking after her while we are out." She looked over her shoulder. "Hey Thompson you done yet?"
It was only then that Dipper noticed that Thompson was digging a hole. "What's he doing over there?"
"I heard this legend of an underground secret base." Wendy said. "Apparently there is some buried treasure of something down there so we're planning on checking it out." She smirked. "Thompson is digging up where we think the base is at."
"Sounds fun!" Mabel said. "I'll help!" She jumped down and picked up another shovel.
"Really you aren't gonna let Thompson dig on his own?" Lee laughed from where he was leaning against a gravestone. "You're too nice sometimes Mabel."
"Come on guys we're not teenagers anymore." Mabel said as she dug. "We should be nicer to Thompson."
"It's fine Mabel." Thompson said. "Everything they did has made me stronger in the long run."
"You're really a great guy Thompson." Dipper laughed. "I'll help too." Dipper jumped down and helped dig as well. It didn't take long with the three of them digging to find a door deep underground.
"Who would bury a secret treasure in a graveyard?" Dipper asked as he rubbed his forehead, he was sweating so much. He kind of wanted to laugh, his younger self would have loved trying to impress Wendy with his strength and skills. But now he didn't care about that. Now he wanted to finish up quickly and then head back home to go back to translating.
"Well let's go!" Robbie said, his arms wrapped around his wife's shoulders. "If we can find this treasure then we won't have to worry about student loans anymore."
"Right!" Dipper looked at the door. "Let's see what we can find." He pushed on the door and a loud crack sounded as it swung inward. Dipper went stumbling into a dark dusty spider web filled hallway.
"Wow, look at this place." Robbie said as he walked in. "Anyone bring flashlights."
"I got us!" Wendy waved a couple flashlights around and passed them around. "Let's go find that treasure!"
"Yeah!" Lee and Thompson said at the same time. And the group headed down the pathway. Dipper and Mabel walked in the middle of the group. Dipper found himself looking around. He stopped though as he noticed something on a wall.
"Hang on!" He said.
"What?" Robbie stopped and looked over his shoulders.
"I want to check something out."
"Okay." Robbie tossed Dipper a flashlight. "Catch up as soon as you can."
"Dipper?" Mabel asked as she followed him towards the wall. He looked up at the wall. There were words carved on the wall. "Beware, do not enter." Dipper whispered. Under the faded words was an even more faded set of symbols. "Hang on!" Dipper said as he recognized the symbols. "These are on the stone tablet! B!" He pointed to one of the least faded symbol. "And W."
"The rest are too faded." Mabel whispered as she looked up at the symbols. "Maybe we should-."
"Hang on." Dipper froze. He quickly took a picture of the wall. "Why would it say Beware?" He frowned. "We might want to go-." DIpper was interrupted by a scream.
"That was Thompson!" Mabel said and started running towards the scream. Dipper followed as well. About halfway towards the TELL they ran into Lee and Tamary, who were running towards them.
"What happened?" Dipper asked.
"V-vampires!" Lee yelled as he kept running.
Dipper and Mabel looked at each other and then ran towards where the supposed Vampires were. They arrived at the room and froze. Thompson was curled up in a ball behind Robbie who was swinging a large stick of wood at two figures. They wore dark robes with the hoods pulled up but Dipper could see pale wrinkly hands poking out of the sleeves towards Robbie.
"Those are vampires?" Mabel gasped. Her voice made one of the vampires turn and look towards her, with cold red eyes.
"Those are vampires!" Dipper started to fumble around in his bag as the vampire advanced towards them. I need a weapon! Something to fight these creatures! Dipper dug around franticly. He had only brought his notebooks and, wait Mabel's old grappling hook? He looked at her as he pulled it out slowly. Before he could ask any questions Mabel grabbed it from him and shot it up, grabbing Dipper and pulling him up with her. The vampire lunged towards the twins but wasn't able to reach it as they were pulled up.
"I knew it was a good idea to bring along the grappling hook!" Mabel grinned at him. "But now what?"
"I didn't bring anything to use against them." Dipper looked down at the vampire as it jumped up and down swinging it's claws at them.
"Has Grunkle Ford said anything about vampires?"
"I don't think so." Dipper pulled his legs up a little. He could see Robbie was still fending off his own vampires. "But we've got to do something…" He thought for a minute. "I've got an idea!"
"What?" Mabel asked.
"Swing me." Dipper started to swing slightly. "Get ready!" He waited a moment and then let got of Mabel and went swinging right into the vampires attacking Robbie. "RUN!"
"Right!" Robbie pulled Thompson up and started to run. Dipper watched as Mabel dropped to the ground while the vampire turned to face Dipper.
"DIPPER!" Mabel slammed into the vampire, knocking it off it's feet. "RUN!"
Dipper took off, jumping over the vampire Mabel had knocked down. He started running. "What is going on? These vampires are really slow? I wonder if all of them are this slow?" A hand snatched out and wrapped around Dipper's ankle, pulling him down.
"DIPPER!" Mabel yelled out.
Dipper felt a chill as the vampire rose over him. It's fangs seemed to spark in the light. Light?
"DIPPER!" A stick of wood hit the vampire and Dipper went running with Robbie leading the way. The two burst out of the entrance and the girls slammed the door behind them. They all leaned up against the doorway.
"What do we do?" Wendy was breathing heavily.
"Robbie?" Tambry moved towards her husband. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." He was breathing heavily. "Dipper?"
Dipper thought for a moment. "Lock it up! We need something heavy to block the door."
"Got it!" Mabel said. After a few moments they had stuff blocking the door and they all moved away.
"I think we should rebury it." Dipper frowned.
"But what about the rest of it?" Robbie asked. "What if they get out? What if there are more?"
"And the treasure?" Tambry asked.
"We'll have to give up on it." Dipper grabbed a shovel. "Come on, let's rebury it and we can figure it all out later."
A few hours later Dipper was returning home. He sighed. He was both physically exhausted as well as mentally exhausted. He collapsed onto his bed, with Mabel coming in right behind him.
"That was one crazy day." Mabel sighed from her bed. "Vampires… I always thought they would be different."
"I don't want to talk about it…. At least right now." Dipper sighed. He closed his eyes. "I'm just going to sleep."
