A.N: Hey we're back! Wow, our story has gotten a lot of favorites and follows in the past day...Alright then, since these guys want to see more, should we give them more, Andrew?

Andrew: Yes…

Me: Alright then, let's get started :)

Mabel, Dipper, and their friends entered the school to start the last day. The hallways were filled with students jumping around and smashing against the lockers and throwing stuff suddenly felt something hit her face, she picked up the object that hit her and saw that it was a freshly opened roll of toilet paper already unraveling. Dipper grew mad and snatched the roll out of her hand and marched a few steps forward.

"Okay...Who threw this at my sister?!" he yelled angrily, suddenly, a book hit him on the side of his head. "Ow." He said rubbing his head in pain, the entire group looked in the direction in which the book came from.

"Ha! Loser!" a boy with brown hair yelled, Mabel approached her twin brother. "You okay?" she asked, "Yeah, I'm fine. Let's just get to class." Dipper said seriously, the seven of them didn't say another word and just walked straight to their classes. Dipper and Mabel both had English 10 for their homeroom. They had that same class with Janet and Chase. Molly, Claudia, and Ryder however unfortunately had different classes. Molly had AP European History, while Claudia had Physics and Ryder had Geometry. This was going to be a LONG day.

"Good morning, class." said their english professor, Professor Mack. He was a thin, middle aged man with a bald head with grey hair on the back and a grey mustache with glasses. He was a very strict teacher and expected his rules to be taken seriously. But he was still pretty fair and at times was a very cool guy. The only thing he hated was cellphones and other modern technology and social media in his classroom. Mabel and Dipper however always managed to stay on his good side.

"I hope you all have enjoyed this year with me as your teacher because I know I enjoyed having all of you." he said, the entire class remained silent, a few boys were snoring on the tables.

"We will only remain in our homerooms for today and we will be watching the 1968 adaptation of William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet"." The class groaned at the mention of that title.

"Please put your cellphones away. No cellphones, no drawings, no passing notes, NO distractions." He said in a strict and serious manner. He started the movie and walked over to the lightswitch next to the door and turned the lights off. The movie began and the class was silent throughout the entire first half. When the movie got to Act 3 Dipper was about ready to lose it! He didn't feel like watching and listening to Shakespeare for 2 and a half hours. His eyes darted around the room to see what everyone else was doing. All of the guys were out like lights and even some of the girls were starting to get bored. That's when his darting eyes glimpsed at his bag for a brief moment and he turned his attention back to the front. Then something crossed his mind, he looked back down at his bag which was lying at his feet. His eyes focused on one thing inside the bag...his journal…

Dipper had kept that thing for the four years since he and Mabel left Gravity Falls. By now he had already read through it like seven times. He figured it probably wouldn't hurt to read it again. He casually reached down into his bag and took the out journal trying hard not to look too out of the ordinary. It was a little more beat up, but the golden six fingered hand on the cover still shined in the light almost as if it were new. With a smile he opened the journal and began to go through it again. He just smiled as he continued to read page after page. At this point, he wasn't feeling sad anymore. For the past four years this journal has always been there for him. When he was alone, it would keep him company, when he had a bad day at school it would cheer him up to read a few pages, when he was bored, it would entertain him. This book had become a part of him, a need, a calming edge, his security. It was almost as if he couldn't live without it.

The girl next to him A.N: They are paired up at tables looked over at him as he read through it. She was curious as to why a boy like him would be so drawn into a book which was not the comic kind.

"What'cha reading?" the girl asked, "Nothing." Dipper replied not looking up from the journal, "You wouldn't believe me anyway." The girl quickly snatched it out of Dipper's hands and began to read it. She held the journal in her right hand while she was blocking him with her left.

"Hey, give that back!" Dipper yelled in a whisper, as she read through it, the girl began to look at the pages with an odd look.

"What is this?" she asked baffled with the sketches of odd creatures, Dipper snatched the journal back from her and glared at her evilly, "If you must know, this is a journal that has documented paranormal activity in a town called Gravity Falls located in Northern Oregon." Dipper explained, the girl was wide eyed for a second. She blinked twice and shook her head and said, "Whatever weirdo." and went back to watching the movie. Dipper sighed and thought, 'Of course you don't believe me.' and went back to reading the journal.

By the time the movie ended, the teacher turned the lights on and some of the students cringed adjusting to the bright light.

"Okay, that was Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet…"." Professor Mack said in a deadpan tired tone now as well, he walked over to the T.V and hit the eject button on the VCR and the video tape popped out. He then placed another tape in it's place and the screen flashed meaning that another movie was starting.

"Now we will be watching the 1996 adaptation of Shakespeare's "Hamlet"." The class groaned again and Mabel groaned with the class and smacked her head down on the table. Dipper looked up from his book again with a blank look and then shrugged and smiled and went back to his journal. When the movie came to the point where Hamlet saw the ghost of his father. Dipper was already 75% done with the journal. He turned a page and noticed there was a loose page at the back of the journal. He flipped to the back of the journal and saw something he wouldn't believe. It was a drawing of Bill Cypher in the middle of a huge wheel. The wheel was filled with numerous symbols. One was a Star with an eye, one was a pair of glasses, one was a stitched up heart, there was also, a pine tree, shooting star, bag of ice, the six fingered hand, and a few other symbols. This was so strange, he's never seen this page in the journal before. As he stared hard at the page, he heard a voice call out his name.

"Dipper...Dipper..." the familiar voice said, Dipper shuddered at the thought that it could've been Bill speaking to him through the page. But he was immediately snapped back into reality for he recognized the voice not belonging to Bill. "Dipper...Dipper!" The voice said suddenly angry, Dipper snapped out of his focus with the page and looked up to see the movie was paused and Professor Mack was standing at the front of the room wearing an angry expression on his face with his hands on his hips.

"Yes sir?" Dipper asked immediately petrified with his teacher, "I thought I said, "No Distractions"...Did I not make myself clear?"

"Oh! um, forgive me sir, sorry sir." Dipper said scrambling to close the journal, "Just don't let me catch you doing it again." Professor Mack said pointing his finger at him in a threatening tone, he unpaused the movie and it continued to play. Dipper sighed and bent down to put his journal away. He folded up the page nice and neat and stuck it back at the back of the journal and stuffed it back into his bag. For the next four hours he watched the movie along with the remainder of the class that was still awake. But the only thing on his mind was that journal page. Where did it come from? How long has it been in there? If it wasn't in there before why and how did it appear now? So many questions, with so many unknown answers.

After "Hamlet" ended, the bell rang which meant one thing: School was officially out! The class scrambled out of the room and Dipper and Mabel walked out of the room with Chase and Janet. The four walked down the hall in a chill manner when Molly and Claudia exited their classrooms and joined the four friends in the exit of school for the summer.

"Hey guys, how were your classes?" Molly asked, "Boring." Mabel said bored and tired from the two movies they watched, "Yeah, we had to watch "Hamlet" and "Romeo and Juliet"." Chase said slouching, "Wow, some people have all the luck." Claudia said, "We had to watch the movie "Contact". you know? The one about the girl who wants to fly a spacecraft to Vega?"

"Oh yeah, that was pretty good." Dipper said bored as well, "It was fun and emotional but then we had to watch a four hour documentary on the creation of Physics and how it progressed through time. I know I like that kind of stuff but come on! four hours?!"

"I had to watch a movie about European History starting with the Dark Ages and the Franks." Molly complained, "We already learned about that stuff!" Ryder suddenly exited his classroom and joined the group and was now walking with them as well.

"What'd you do Ryder?" Molly asked, "We had free period the whole time." Ryder answered, he continued to walk while everyone else stopped abruptly. "Wait, you had free period for six hours?!" Molly said surprised, "Yeah, pretty much." Ryder replied nodding, "Lucky!" Janet yelled, "No, it was boring!" Ryder complained, "I had nothing to do!" "We had to watch Shakespeare adaptations for six hours, without cellphones!" Janet retaliated, "Eesh, that must've sucked for you." Ryder said, "It did!" Janet said fake crying, "Alright guys let's just calm down." Dipper said, "I think I speak for everyone here when I say that all of our classes sucked." "Yeah." they all replied back nodding, "But all that matters now is that it's summer...it's all good...right?" he asked, "Yeah." everyone said still agreeing, "Okay then…" Dipper said, "Come on, we gotta go get our driver's licenses."

Almost everyone in the group didn't have their driver's licenses yet. The only two that did were Claudia and Ryder. But they preferred to take the bus to school instead of driving. The rest of them were going to take the test today together like friends do. Dipper had been studying for this test for months while Mabel...was...well, let's just say...she was enthusiastic to learn...But they were both sure that they would pass.

The seven of them exited the school building and walked down the large cement steps. Students were walking up the stairs on the left side while they and the other students were walking down on the right side. Other students were sitting together reading under trees or just trying to board the bus as fast as they could.

"Wait, if none of us brought a car...How are we going to get to the driving school?" Chase asked, "Easy." Molly replied, suddenly the gang heard a car horn beep and they looked in the direction in which it came from. There was a wine colored van parked at the curb not so far away from them. An older girl who looked like Molly only with longer hair in a different style and large pink hoop earrings was in the driver's seat and looked at them through the car window next to the shotgun seat. The girl honked the horn again, "What are you doing squirt?! Hop in!" she yelled angrily, "My sister is driving us." Molly replied to Chase's question with a smile.

"Hurry up Molly!" her sister yelled through the window still honking the horn, "I've got places to be!"

"Okay, okay! Keep your clothes on Martha!" Molly yelled back, "Let's go, guys." she said, Martha was Molly's 20-year-old sister. She held up a job at the mall in the food court and was still living with Molly and their parents. The seven of them walked to the wine colored van and climbed in. Mabel, Dipper, and Janet sat in the middle seats of the van in that order while Chase, Ryder, and Claudia sat in the back. Molly took the shotgun seat.

"What took you guys so long to come out?" Martha asked eyeing Molly angrily, "Just drive." Molly sassed her, Martha gave her a death glare and then turned the key in the ignition and switched the gear and stepped on the pedal and they took off.

They arrived at the driving school and all seven of them exited the van.

Martha looked at her sister through the shotgun seat window from her driver's seat again.

"You guys are going to have to hurry it up with the tests because I'm your ride home and I have to be at work in a few hours." Martha explained,

"Okay Martha." Molly smiled, "Thanks!" the seven of them turned and entered the school and the van drove away.

Three hours later:

"Hey guys, how was the test?" Molly asked with a smile, "I passed!" Chase said happily, "Me too!" Molly cheered, "Me too!" Janet followed, "Me three!" Dipper said happily, "Me four! Just barely…" Mabel said with her smile slumping into a frown, "What happened?" Molly asked,

Flashback:

"Mabel! Mabel! Look out for that stop sign!" The driving teacher yelled, Mabel had so far done good on the test. She was so confident of herself that she didn't know she was about to run into a stop sign. She quickly jerked the steering wheel to her left and the car avoided crashing just in time. The rest of the test went on smoothly for Mabel but she was afraid that one mistake would cost her her license.

"So, how did I do?" Mabel asked, "Hmm, other than that stop sign incident you did everything almost perfect." The professor said looking the results over, "So I guess it is clear that you…"

"Please please please please please please please please." Mabel whispered with both of her fingers crossed, "You pass." The teacher said tearing off her test and giving it to her, Mabel gasped, "Whoo hoo!" she cheered jumping up and down, "Oh thank you thank you thank you!" She said hugging the teacher, "Let me go before I fail you!" The teacher threatened, Mabel immediately let go. "Sorry." she said,

"Well congratulations you guys." Martha said with a smile, "I'm sure your parents will be proud...come on, I'll take you to the DMV."

The seven then went to the DMV and got their pictures taken for their licenses. The DMV told them they should get them in 2 weeks. They didn't want to wait that long but they were willing to do so anyway.

Martha's wine colored van parked in front of Dipper and Mabel's house. The doors on the side of the van slid open and Dipper and Mabel hopped out each from one side. "Thanks for the ride." Dipper said thanking Martha, "No problem, dudes." Martha smiled, "You guys are still coming to the party tonight right?" Mabel asked their friends, "Yeah." Claudia said, "You bet." Janet smiled, "I'll be there." Molly winked, "You can count on it." Chase winked as well, Mabel giggled.

"I will try to make it as early as I can." Martha said, "Work's been a pain in my butt lately so I'm sorry if I won't be able to make it." She said suddenly frowning, "That's okay." Mabel smiled with a wave of her hand reassuring her that it was okay, "We'll still have fun."

"Okay then." Martha chuckled, "Catch you dudes on the flip-side." She shifted the car's gear forward and took off. Dipper and Mabel entered the house and set their backpacks down by the door. Then they noticed that there were pink and blue streamers everywhere. They walked into the kitchen and there were pink and blue streamers there too and pink and blue balloons tied together to furniture. That's when the kitchen door to the back patio opened and in came their parents both holding an end of a large brown box with a clear top.

"Oh! hey kids." their mother said struggling with her end of the box, "Hey mom, hey dad, what's in the box?" Dipper asked pointing at the box, "Oh this?" their mother asked, "Oh it's just you birthday cake but as you can see we're having a little bit of trouble carrying it." she explained, the two twins ran over to their parents and helped them bring the cake in and slammed it down on the kitchen table.

"It's ice cream cake, your favorite." the mother said, the cake had two sides to it. The right side of the cake had blue icing while the left side had pink icing. "It has two different flavors of ice cream! One on each side." the mother gushed, "Dipper, your side is chocolate, Mabel, your side is strawberry."

"Yay!" Mabel cheered, "Awesome." Dipper said impressed, their dad then went into the living room to catch the Los Angeles Dodgers game. "So kids how was your day?" their mother asked,

"Boring." they both said together, "Really? What'd you two do?" their mother asked who was now at the sink scrubbing the dishes from breakfast earlier, "We watched six full hours of Shakespeare." Dipper said bored just thinking about the movies they watched, "Really? That sounds like fun." their mother said, "It wasn't." Mabel said boredly now as well, "But hey, on the bright side. Look!" She pulled out her test results. "Me and Dipper passed our driving tests!" "Oh that's great kids!" their mother smiled, she walked over to the table and scooped both of her kids up in a hug.

"I'm so proud of both of you." she said with tears filling up her eyes, suddenly the three of them heard an oink. They looked down to see Waddles at their feet with Dipper's pine tree hat in his mouth.

"Hey! My hat!" Dipper yelled, he grabbed the hat and struggled to make Waddles release it but Waddles refused to let go. He snatched it from the pig and put it on his head. He couldn't take it to school with him because the dress code forbade baseball caps. Their mother picked up the pig and Waddles began to squirm and let out an ear piercing squeal which made the three of them cringe.

"Mabel, during the party Waddles will have to stay in your room." their mother said sadly, "But mom! he won't act like this, he'll behave!" Mabel begged, "I'm sorry honey, but remember what happened last year?"

Flashback:

"Waddles! Waddles stop eating that sub!" Mabel yelled, she grabbed the pig by his behind and struggled to pull him away from the large sub sandwich. Finally with one fierce tug Mabel managed to rip Waddles away from the sandwich but Waddles squealed loudly and freaked out and jumped onto another snack table and ran through the tiered cake holder that held cupcakes, the platter with the finger sandwiches, and finally the punchbowl. He jumped off of the table and their uncle stood in position to block the pig but it resulted in Waddles knocking them both into the pool.

"He said he was sorry mom." Mabel said who was now holding Waddles, she squeezed him and he snorted. "See? he's sorry."

"Mabel, I think it was reasonable enough of me and your father to let you keep that pig. The least you can do is keep him up in your room where he won't cause trouble." their mother said sternly, "Okay." Mabel moped, she sulked up to room still holding Waddles and they heard her bedroom door slam shut.

Aww poor Mabel. Okay, so I may have gotten the whole driving test thing wrong but hey cut me some slack :) So yeah this chapter wasn't all that Gravity Falls-ish, but in the next chapter things will pick up, I swear.
