Outside of the Mystery Shack, a group of teens were playing a game of some kind. Two teens were holding the other as he stood on his hands, while another threw candy at him. "In the belly!" The two teens chanted, "In the belly!"
"Come on, hurry up!" The teen doing the handstand said.
"In the belly! In the belly!" The two teens continued to chant.
The other teen, wearing a black hoodie with a bleeding heart, and a stitch in the middle, with black slanted hair, had a piece of candy in the palm of his hand, which was covered with fingerless gloves. He was about to throw the candy when another candy had beat him to it; It landed in the other teens belly button. It had turned out Wendy was the one that had gotten a perfect shot. She stood alongside, Andrew, and the triplets.
"Wendy! Drew!" The group of teens had said. The two teens that were holding the third teen in a handstand had chanted Wendy's name and Andrews nickname.
"Hey guys." Wendy greeted.
"What up peeps?" Andrew said, before introducing the triplets, "I like you guys to meet my cousins from California."
Mira was hiding behind Mabel's back; She peeked and waved to them shyly, before hiding behind Mabel again. Mabel on the other hand was excited to meet them, "I chewed my gum so it looks like a brain!" She said before showing them the chewed up gum.
"They're not one for first impressions." Dipper said to the group of teens before pointing to himself, "Unlike this guy!" All the teens did was just stare at him in silence, making Dipper sweat out of nervousness. "This guy…" He said awkwardly.
One of the teens gotten out his guitar and started to mess around with the strings. "So what, you two like babysitting or something?" He asked.
"Come on Robbie." Wendy said to the teen named Robbie.
"Don't mind him he's always like that." Andrew said to the triplets before he introduced the first two teens, "So these guys are our friends from school. The two bros here are Lee and Nate."
The two teens named Lee and Nate laughed and punched playfully at one another. Andrew pointed to a girl with magenta hair one part dyed pink, having a cellphone in her hand, "The anti-social one is Tambry."
"Hey…" She said while texting.
Wendy then introduced the one that was doing the handstand before, "This here is Thompson who once at a run over waffle for 50 cents."
"Don't tell them that." Thompson said feeling a bit embarrassed.
"And this here is Robbie." She said introducing Robbie to them, "You can probably figure him out."
Robbie flipped his hair and said, "Yeah, I'm the guy who spray painted the water tower."
"Do you mean the giant muffin?" Mira asked.
"Oh yeah, the big muffin." Dipper said.
"Um, it's a giant explosion." Robbie said. They all looked to the water tower of Gravity Falls. They saw drawn on it was what looked like a muffin. "Ha! Kind of does look like a muffin!" Lee said before laughing. Robbie glared at Dipper and Mira, and Mira couldn't help but shrink while Dipper smiled nervously.
"Let's hurry it up guys!" Wendy said, "I got big plans for tonight." Everyone had gotten into the van. Dipper was about to get into the front seat where Andrew sat there, but was stopped when he saw Robbie sitting in the front of the passengers seat.
"Sorry kid, I ride shotgun." Robbie said closing the door.
With no other options left, Dipper went to the back where his sisters sat as well.
When everyone was in the van, Thompson had started the car. He turned to the other passengers in the van, "Okay guys before we go, my mom says you're not allowed to punch the roof anymore, so…"
Despite this everyone started to hit the roof of the van, "THOMPSON! THOMPSON!" They all chanted.
Thus they started to drive off into their destination. The teens were chatting up with one another, though the triplets were silent. Mira was playing with the hair on her braid, while Dipper was biting down on a pen. Mabel took the pen from Dipper and crossed out the writing on the car door that had said "You Stink" Instead it she had wrote, "You look nice today!"
Mabel chuckled and turned to her siblings, "This is gonna blow someone's mind!"
"Mabel, please!" Dipper said.
"What?" She said with an innocent look, "Am I embarrassing you in front of your… GIRLFRIE-Mmph!?"
Before Mabel could shout the word girlfriend, Dipper immediately put his hand over her mouth, causing her to muffle her words. It wasn't long until Dipper pulled his hand away from her mouth when he felt a wet sensation. "Eww, did you just lick my hand?" Dipper said wiping his hand dry.
"You guys…?" Mira said to Dipper and Mabel, "... I'm starting to have second thoughts about this…"
Dipper looked at Mira with concern, "Hey look… I know this isn't the kind of thing your used to, but you're here with us. Everything will be fine as long as you stick with us okay?"
Mira looked at Dipper, "Even so… I still can't help but feel nervous about this. What if something happens?"
Mabel said to Mira putting her hand over hers, "Hey, we're with Andrew and Wendy. So what could wrong?"
-Later-
The teens and the triplets had arrived at their destination. It was a small convenience store, with the lights of the sign barely flickering. The convenience store was surrounded by a fence and there were several signs that had read no trespassing. The whole group stood there just on the other side of the fence, staring upon the small store.
"There it is fellas." Andrew said, "The condemned Dusk 2 Dawn."
"Ha! Cool!" Nate and Lee said at the same time.
"Umm… Why did they shut it down?" Mira asked nervously.
Dipper was nervous as well, "Was there a health code violation or was there-?"
"Try murder!" Nate said to Dipper and Mira.
Lee had added, "Some folks died in there, the place has been haunted ever since!"
Mira couldn't help but let out a fearful squeak at that. However Mabel said with a smile, "This town has such a colorful history!"
"Wha… Are you guys serious?" Dipper asked them still nervous about this.
"Yeah! We're all gonna die!" Wendy said, before punching Dipper's arm in a friendly manner, "It's not as bad as it looks."
"Just let loose and have fun, alright?" Andrew said Dipper with a wink of an eye. The teens had climbed over the fence, along with Mabel and Mira (With a little help from Andrew). They were just waiting on Dipper who was just hanging out at the top of the fence.
"Come on Dipper!" Wendy called out to him.
Dipper laughed nervously, "Okay, okay, just gotta get a foothold and than I-"
"Seriously dude? Your sister did it!" Robbie said, gesturing over to Mabel who was currently spinning on the floor. Lee had climbed up on the fence, "Okay, you know what?" He said. He picked up Dipper and practically threw him off of the fence; Dipper landed on the floor face first.
"Ha!" Lee laughed before saying, "Sorry dude."
He jumped from the fence and went to join up with Nate. "Good idea tossing the kid off of the fence, genius!" Nate said.
"You're mom is a genius." Lee had retorted.
Mira went over to her brother and helped him up off the floor. .
"Are you okay Dipper?" Mira asked with concern.
"Yeah, I'll be fine, let's just go." Dipper said to her sister; They went to join up with a group. They had approached the small store, and Robbie went to try and open the door. Wendy looked through the window and couldn't help but be in awe by it. "Wow, this place is amazing." She said to the group.
"How's that door coming along?" Andrew asked.
"I think it's stuck." Robbie said, struggling to get the door open.
Dipper stepped forward, "Let me take a crack at it."
Robbie just scoffed at this, "Yeah, right. I can't get in but I'm sure Junior here is gonna break it down like Hercules."
"Hey, lay off him Robbie." Andrew said.
"Leave him alone Rob, he's just a kid." Wendy said to Robbie.
Flinched at the fact Wendy just called him kid, it had only seemed to want to prove himself even more. Fixing his hat he walked around the store and jumped on top of a dumpster. "Dipper, hey, what are you doing?" Mira called out. Though he didn't seemed to have heard her. He just climbed up the side of the building using what was provided and had gotten to the roof. He went over to the vent and started to try to force it open.
"GO DIPPER!" Mabel had egged on, "PUNCH THAT METAL THING!"
He had managed to get the vent open and he crawled inside. The whole group was chatting with one another.
"Who wants to bet he doesn't make it?" Robbie said to the group. To his surprise Dipper had just casually walked out of the store like nothing had happened. This left the teens excluding Robbie impressed by what Dipper had just did. He gestured everyone to go inside, and so they did.
"Good call inviting this little maniac!" Lee said.
"Your new name is doctor Funtimes." Nate said. Mabel went in and high fived her brother; Andrew walked in and patted him on the head, "Nice thinking there Dipper." He said as he headed in.
"Nice work there slick." Wendy said, giving Dipper another friendly punch.
Dipper smiled at this and couldn't help but squeal internally. Mira seeing as how she was the last one to enter, decided to join the others. Just when she was about to enter, she felt the presence of someone behind her when she felt a sudden shiver go up her spine. She quickly turned around and caught only but a glimpse of a little girl no more than 8. Though she couldn't tell of her appearance when the little one had suddenly vanished. This of course struck her as odd; she did not have time to think about this however when she heard Dipper call out to her.
"Hey Mira?" He said, "Aren't you coming?"
Mira stammered as she replied, "Ye-yeah, I'm coming."
Looking back to where she saw the little girl, Mira had entered the store and Dipper followed, closing the door behind him. The teens were looking around the store with the lights off, only the street lights providing their only way of seeing what was inside.
"Man… Look at this place." Andrew said, "It's like something out of a horror film…"
"It's a whole lot creepier than I imagined." Wendy said looking around eventually going to the back of the store. Dipper and Mira looked through some old newspapers, while Mabel took some dust off of the counter and licked it. "Yup, it's dust." She confirmed.
"So where do you think they keep the dead bodies?" Nate asked his buddy Lee.
"Dude, shut up!" He said shoving his arm.
In the back Wendy had found a couple of light switches. "Hey guys check it out!" She said, "Do you think these still work?"
She flipped the switch and everything within the store came alive. "Jackpot!" Mabel said with a smile.
"So… What do we do now?" Mira asked as she played with her braid.
"Pretty much whatever we want." Andrew replied.
The triplets looked to one another with a bit of excitement knowing exactly what that meant.
