A/N
The next chapter of Gravity-Bumps is here. For those wondering on my CFN related stuff, I'm not abandoning them. But I am taking a bit of a break from them for a while; or at least 'till I get inspiration. There are episodes of Gravity Falls from Season 1 I will do, and episodes I won't do; be it because I either didn't like them, or because I can't think of how the episode would be different. Here's a list of what I won't do.
Won't
Little Dipper
Dipper VS Manliness
Time Traveler's Pig
Head Hunters
Fight Fighters
The Deep End
Now that I have THAT out of the way. On to the disclaimer!
I own nothing.
(Dipper POV; 2nd Person)
It's been quite sometime since he and Mabel got to Gravity Falls. Like with anybody, time was lost upon them during the summer, and it would predictably return when the vacation was nearing it's end. Dipper was wearing another pair of his usual attire, the only difference being the white and blue trucker cap that adorned his head. These past few days-or was it weeks, it was hard to tell once you've settled into the vacation groove that was Summer-he and Mabel saw Eye Bats, Fairies-including the Barf variety-, Butternut Squash with human faces and emotions, and gnomes that were outcasted by Jeff's Clan. While Mabel was in awe at the creatures, Dipper was fascinated, but not really surprised.
He had seen and known weirder things.
He was seated at the table in the kitchen, with Mabel across from him, eating some pancakes and reading a magazine. How people saw this as literature was beyond him, it was mainly gossip and pictures. Turning the page, he saw an ad for a photo contest that was giving away a $100,000 cash prize for an authentic photo of the weirdest creature seen by the photographer.
(Dipper POV; 1st Person)
Placing my hand under my chin, I went over the benefits, and consequences of taking part of this contest.
A photo contest, giving away a $100,000 cash prize? Admittedly interesting, after all I wouldn't even need to try, this town is full of the strange and abnormal; though to me it's a regular tuesday and reading session. I could even-. No, no, bad brain, bad; not only would opening one of MY books, or THE book result in catastrophe, but I would get in HUGE trouble with Dad. Closing the magazine, I handed it to Mabel, who had finished eating her pancakes, and was about to finish mine. That's when Stan came in.
Dressed in an undershirt, boxers, his fez and slippers, the old con man entered the kitchen with a rolled up newspaper in hand.
"Hey you knuckle head's," the oddly excited con man greeted us with one of his usual nicknames for us, "you two know what day it is?"
Birthday, holiday I didn't know about, or anniversary? It's probably anniversary.
"Happy anniversary?"
"Mazel Tov!" Mabel pumped her arms into the in an excited fashion. For some reason she seemed to love that holiday. Or maybe she just liked how it sounded.
Stan hit the back of my head lightly with the newspaper, which caused my hat to fall over my eyes. I replaced it back just as Stan responded.
"It's family fun day genius," he said that in a tone that made it seemed like it was the most obvious thing in the world, "we're taking a day off work, so we can have one of those-he stopped to sniff a carton of milk to see if had gone bad-bonding type deals."
In my defense a family bonding day was either when Dad was homeschooling me and Hannah, or when we were moving to another town. The only other type of family bonding I've ever experienced was when Stan had Mabel and I help make counterfeit money. We ended up in the county jail because of it; we were lucky Stan had numerous hiding places to hide evidence. Otherwise we would've been in there for more than two days.
"I know I haven't been the best summer caretaker," he said as he turned to us with the milk carton in hand, "but this time will be different, now who wants to put on some blindfolds and get into my car?"
"Yay!", Mabel and I joyfully responded without thinking.
Wait what?
(Time Skip)
(Dipper POV; 2nd Person)
The young adopted Stine was constantly jolted and lifted off of his seat in the back of Stan's car. Of course, just as Stan had said, he and Mabel were blindfolded. Blindfolds never lead to good things; the Invisible Boy taught him that the hard way. Ever since he and his father were kidnapped by the him and the Mummy, and held hostage in Horror World*; He never wanted to have a piece of cloth over his eyes again. Even if it was for a good surprise.
Mabel had spoken up, saying something about heightened senses and seeing with her fingers, before she rubbed her hands all over his face. She earned an amused chuckle from him, he will admit to that. But there was one thing worrying him.
"Grunkle Stan, are you wearing a blindfold?"
The conman responded with a jovial tone in his voice.
"Nah," oh thank Horrorland, "but with these cataracts I might as well be; what is that a woodpecker?"
He was going to die by reckless driving; he was calling it now. The very next moment, the car jolted, causing him and Mabel to fall onto the floor.
(Time Skip)
When they stopped at their destination, and Stan said to take off their blindfolds. He didn't know what to expect. But it certainly wasn't a lake full of Gravity Falls citizens. Turns out that Stan brought them out here to fish with him; he even went as far as hand stitched fishing hats for them.
Dipper had to admit, he was interested in fishing. He never took part in the sport, due to being homeschooled, and having to protect 123 manuscripts-now just one, and the five he's made-with his life. Not even the "Uncle Approved" joke book, drove him away from the idea of fishing. Before anything could be done, a man with a brown prospector hat, a long white beard-that oddly enough, had a bandage on it-, wearing brown overalls, and no footwear came straight out of nowhere. Knocking a guy's sandwich out of his hands, knocking people over, and went over to to the lifeguard, grabbing him by his own-cleaner by comparison-overalls.
He rambled on how a lake monster called the Gobbelwonker destroyed his boat, and went to an island in the middle of the lake. Of course, no one believed him-and even laughed at him-causing him to sulk away sadly. A lake monster though, was definitely not as out there as people thought though. Horrorland had an entire lake filled with them after all, and Dipper was certain that Captain One-Leg and his crew counted as sea monsters.
Stan lead them to his boat the Stan O'War, and Dipper quickly got in. But not before Soos and Wendy came around on the S. Dude, offering to go on a monster hunt for the Gobbelwonker. They had over 20 disposable camera's, and Mabel instantly agreed, saying something or another about a human sized hamster ball. Stan was saddened by her departure, but Dipper quickly lifted his mood claiming that she'd be back before the day was over. The two spent the day failing to catch fish, learning how to fish in Dipper's case, cracking terrible jokes, and having a few run in's with the lake police.
Dipper was banned from the lake for the rest of the month when the Pines leave. But Stan got a metal anklet that would go off when he comes near the lake, which will activate when they leave. Overall the two had fun, and Mabel was really missing out in Dipper's opinion. Of course-as Dipper had said-Mabel, along with Soos and Wendy, came to them. Their boat was a wreck, and Soos had lost his shirt. After a quick apology, the five had a truly memorable rest of the day at the lake. Harassing others, pulling pranks, and having more run in's with the lake police.
It was all fine and dandy, not even when the boat jumped into the air for less than a second did they think of anything other than how great the day had been. Of course, Dipper wouldn't say he was surprised when he noticed a large shadowy shape moving in the water. To him, it was a regular tuesday-or was it friday, in summer one could practically never tell.
