**Disclaimer: I do not own Gravity Falls, as much as I would love to. Since the beginning of this story, my adopted brother Dominick, who Dom is based off of, has been moved from brotherzone to acceptable dating zone, and my friend who Tony is based off of is no longer in my life, but this will not alter the story in any way. Thank you for your patience, my friends. Also, it appears as though I too have a Grunkle, my Grunkle Pepper (I had always just called him "Uncle" but as he was my grandmothers brother, he is my Great Uncle.) Cool, huh? **
Chapter Two: The Summerwing Clan
-Mariah POV-
As I woke up, I looked around and noticed that my entire group was outside, stretching. Yawning, I glanced out the window, and saw Dom, Matthew, Tony, and Jules sitting around a campfire pit, and laughing. I turned around, closing the blinds, and stripped out of my pajamas, putting on my normal clothes, 7 long Arizona jeans, and my favourite nerd shirt reading, "Keep calm and BAZINGA!". Quickly running a comb through my hair while brushing my teeth, and stepped outside into the thick Oregon air.
"Hey guys, what's up?" I asked the small posse.
"Guess who's still alive?" Dom managed to ask me while laughing.
"Who? Stan Pines? That small, weak nerd from school when we were still able to age like humans?" I asked sarcastically. I hated being left in the dark.
"Exactly!" Tony was still snorting as the laughter slowly subsided.
"Has he toughened up since then?" I asked, curious. Stan Pines had been the source of trouble with my family when he had seen what my family was truly. My parents, along with most of the others in the Summerwing clan were currently living in Iceland, while my siblings and friends from other tribes of our kind went around as a travelling band in the United States.
"Well, kind of. From what I've gathered from citizens in Gravity Falls, he's a big sham. What with the Mystery Shack and stuff." Jules responded quietly.
"What's a 'Mystery Shack'?"
"Some sort of tourist trap with all these fake attractions and over priced souvenirs." Jules replied to my question as she calmly lit the fire. I looked at the sky and realized that I had slept most of the day.
"Tonight's a pretty clear night. Maybe we should just go out for a bit." I murmur to Matthew and the others.
"I agree. It could be fun to see how this town has changed, if at all." Matthew responded. While we waited, we roasted some marshmallows and some hot dogs, eating them like our very lives depended on it. I chewed on my fifth s'more thoughtfully as I watched the stars twinkle , and the waxing crescent moon rise.
"Well, we'd better get going. Most people will be asleep right about now." Tony said, standing up, and brushing the dirt off of his khaki pants. Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes, and opened my hands, spreading the fingers. Then, I placed my right hand directly over my left hand, whispering Remissionis dedracone, and relaxing as my body transformed and the others followed suit, each following their own transformation sequences.
When I opened my eyes, I could see the middle of the 200 ft pine trees that just a few moments earlier were about 45 times my size. I stretched my wings, and took off. My sparkling green-blue scales reflected the star as my friends and I flew over the town, and over the Mystery Shack.
-3rd Person POV-
Dipper Pines couldn't sleep. He looked over at Mabel, who was sleeping peacefully, holding Waddles close to her. Sighing, he stood up, and looked out the strange triangular window in their attic, and into the night sky. What he saw made him do a double take, what looked like five strange brontosaurus-like winged creatures were crossing the sky. What the- he thought as he watched them circle around the shack, fly back over the town and land just beyond the other side of Gravity Falls. It have got to be dreaming, or I just really saw five dragons… Dipper continued to stare out the window long after the strange creatures had vanished from sight. I'll have to remember to look up dragons in the journal was his last thought as he finally drifted off to sleep late in the night.
