A/N
The next chapter of Gravity-Bumps, it takes place during Tourist Trapped.
I own nothing. Gravity Falls belongs to Alex Hirsch, and Goosebumps belongs to R.L. Stine.

It's been three days since Dipper and Mabel entered the sleepy town of Gravity Falls. Three days since they met their Grunkle Stan, and two days since he had put them to work in his tourist trap the Mystery Shack. Forbidden to touch the merchandise, and designated sweepers and co-workers to the handy man Soos-a large man child who looked up to Mr. Pines-and the cashier Wendy Corduroy-an admittedly cool teen in Dipper's opinion, but not as cool as his big sister Hannah, or her boyfriend Zach.

Mabel was wearing the same outfit as the one three days ago-except it was a different shade of red and purple.

Dipper was wearing another pair of the same clothes he wore from three days ago; he packed an entire month's worth of the same outfit, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Mabel had put a note on a boy's back and was peeking from behind a small table full of snow globes.

"Do you like me?", the boy said in a bewildered tone of voice, "Yes, definitely, absolutely?" The boy looked around in confusion, trying to find the one who left the note on his back.

Mable was giggling from behind the table. Ecstatic that her ploy worked.

"I rigged it!" She stated in a quiet yet smug tone.

Dipper, who had been sweeping behind her, rolled his eyes at his sister's antics.

"Mabel, I know that you're going through the whole "Boy Crazy" phase," the young writer began in an authoritative tone, "but don't you think you're overdoing it on the crazy part? These past three days alone, you've flirted with and scared off three boys."

"Aw what," Mabel said in a disbelieving tone, "come on bro-bro this is my chance to have an epic summer romance; heck maybe you'll find a special someone while we're here. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink."

"My only love is writing and reading."

Before the conversation could continue, their caretaker came through the "Employees Only" door, dressed in the same outfit he wore the day they came here.

"Look alive people," the con man began in a gruff tone that meant business, "we have some things to do before the afternoon suckers get here." Soos immediately stopped what he was doing-hanging up some shirts-and ran to Stan, standing at attention. Everyone else just looked at him, waiting for him to get on with it.

"Soos, you're in charge of restocking the snow globes," Stan stated in a tone that said "I don't really care what you do, just do it", "Wendy, I need you to put these signs up in the spooky part of the forest." Stan held up some signs that he grabbed practically out of nowhere.

The redhead however was to lazy to grab the signs, and just lazily made an excuse about not being able to reach them from the counter.

Stan quickly chose Dipper through a two second game of "eenie menie minie moe", to which he asked why Mabel couldn't do it. Stan simply said it was because life wasn't fair, and sent him on his way. It wasn't that Dipper didn't want to go into the forest, it was more on the lines that he had been put into doing harsh chores by Stan since day two; and that he at least wanted some fairness by having Mabel either help him, or do it herself.

But hey, can't have everything.

(Time Skip)

As Dipper put up signs on the forest he couldn't help but feel as though he was being watched; and it wasn't the usual feeling he got almost constantly. He felt like he was being watched by something as old as time itself; and with what he knew, and encountered in his life, it wasn't that far fetched. As he was about to put up the last sign, the tree he was about to hammer a nail into made a banging sound once it connected with the nail and hammer.

Setting the nail and sign down on the floor, he softly hammered the tree, getting a quieter result this time. But still confirming his thoughts. The tree was fake, and more than likely hiding something. Feeling around the edge of the tree, he found a gap hidden behind some moss. Using the gap he managed to open the tree's trunk to see an old switch like device. The device had clearly seen better days. Against his better judgement, he began fiddling with the switches, only to hear the sound of a metallic door opening behind him.

Turning around, he was surprised to see a hatch in the ground had opened up, and based on the scampering goat that had been on his bed back during day two*, it had surprised some of the local fauna as well. His curiosity peaked, the young writer began looking into it. Inside he saw a dusty rectangular object that was about the size of one of his father's Fear Street books-thank lord those weren't written on the typewriter. Reaching down into the hatch, he picked up the book, kept it horizontally below his face, and blew the dust off. He didn't know what he was expecting, but it certainly wasn't this.

The book was a maroon red, with a gold six fingered hand on the cover. Said cover had some tears and rips in it, but nothing too bad. Opening it, he flipped through the contents of the mysterious novella. The page that stated the author's identity was ripped, how that had happened he would never know. But to say the contents were underwhelming would be a bit of an overstatement.

He already knew of the existence of the supernatural, and while some of the things were new to him, almost all of it was old news, However there was an exception: the last page; which stated that the author was being watched, and had warned to not trust anyone in Gravity Falls. Granted he had already lived by a similar mantra for the past twelve years-at least until two years ago when Zach moved to his family's home in Madison; surprisingly both Zach and his mom were moving to California at the exact same time as he and his family, what a shocker that was when they met up again.*

Closing the book, and placing it in his coat, he turned around, ready to go back to the shack. Until Mabel popped out of the fallen tree behind him and actually scared him.

Better her than that dummy, the Invisible Boy or Horror World.**

A/N

*-The goat first appeared on their second day in Gravity Falls, still on Dipper's bed though.

The rest of the episode plays out the same, with the exception that Dipper follows Mabel on her date with Norman, prepared with a smoke bomb-that typewriter really comes in handy sometimes. There will be certain episodes that I won't do, and completely original chapters with their own stories.

*/**-The Goosebumps Movie, and it's sequel Goosebumps: Horror World have already happened, it's just that R. ,L. Stine, Hannah, Zach, and Zach's Aunt conveniently moved to the same place. R. writes on a computer now, and gave the typewriter to Dipper, as well as the book making material for manuscripts.
