~Dipper and Mabel Pines have just arrived at their Great Uncle Stan's, where he owns a mini gift shop named the Mystery Shack in Gravity Falls, Oregon.~

(Dipper's P.O.V.)

Ah, the summertime. Where people relax, get to relax there minds. Relaxation Everything.

And yeah, as you can see, the golf cart that has crashed through the sign, the little people in there? Yeah, that my sister and I. The one who looks like is about to puke, is my sister, Mabel. She can get sick easily. Like seriously. So don't mind if she starts liking everywhere. And then there's me, Dipper Pines. The usual 12 year old nerd. Mabel and I have our ups and downs, but as different as we were, I can say we make the perfect team.

"GAH! Mabel! Why did you have to get chased by a bunch of gnomes? Could have been better?!" I said driving the golf cart in different directions. Mabel sat there still looking like she was going to puke. "Mabel!"

"I'm sorry Dipper! It's not my fault I just thought it was some other guy-"

Ah ah, no give aways yet. It won't make sense and you'll already know what happens...

Anyway, back to my story.

It all started with a journal.

I walked through the woods thinking, we had to stay here all summer. With Grunkle Stan? It would be a complete nightmare, and the fact that he did nothing but give tours for people until 5, was probably the worst.

Mabel, on the other hand, took everything on the bright side. Literally and she was always flirting with boys.

One time, I nice kid about our age came to buy a snack in the vending machine, then Mabel comes over, "Hey, my name's Mabel, but your can call me the girl of your dreams..." You probably thought it stopped there. "I'm joking!" And that guy took a big shove to the shoulder into a shelf of books. That guy never came again.

I didn't mind Mabel with her craziness though. Then there was Grunkle Stan, the old man who made me do a chore, that's not even considered one.

"Dipper! The toilets clogged!"

"Dipper! Come catch this poisonous spider for me!"

Dipper, Dipper, Dipper. My name was called at least 5 times every second with this guy.

Until one day ~

"Dipper! Why don't you do the old man a favor and hang these signs up for me?" Stan threw the pile of signs that had all sorts of shapes, arrows, lines, anything pointing to the shack. Before leaving I sighed and walked out the door slowly.

It took me at least an hour to get the first few done. But as I got to the last sign, something strange happened. I hammered the nail into the tree and a metal echo came from it. "What the-?"

I felt the tree, and it felt nothing like bark. It felt like some kind of door. I moved my hand in different directions until I found- a handle. I open the secret door, and approached all these buttons and gadgets. "Whoa-" as I clicked a button, a noise came from behind me. Another door from the ground slid open, revealing a book. It was red, all ripped up and dusty. It had a golden hand with the number 3 written in the center. "What the heck is this?" I looked through the pages and inside it had mysterious anomalies creatures on every page. The last few were blank.

I hid the journal inside my vest, and then out of nowhere, Mabel pops out from behind a bush.

"Dipper! There you are! Whatcha doing?" She said climbing over the bush and then falling.

"Oh uh, nothing, just walking around I guess?" I pulled her up from the ground.

"Well come on, Grunkle Stan is looking for us, dinners done!" Mabel ran threw the woods quicker then you could say anything.

When I got back to the shack, dinner was set at the table, mine still not touched. "Well come on Dipper! That food isn't going to eat itself!" Grunkle Stan gestured me to sit down. From the corner of my eye, I could see Mabel forcefully shoving every bit of food in her mouth.

"Mabel your worst than dad!" I slammed my hand onto the table.

"Oh well!" She said getting off the chair with her plate. "Guess I'll be the one with the big stomach!" Then she raced out the door.

"Not even gonna ask." Grunkle Stan said as he read the newspaper and took a sip of his coffee. I finished my food and placed my dish in the sink.

~20 Minutes Later~

"So Grunkle Stan, I've been meaning to tell you, uh, i found this-"

I was interrupted by the sound of door opening and closing, as Mabel walks in with some odd zombish looking guy.

"Everyone! I'd like you to meet my new boyfriend!" Mabel put her shoulder around the guys neck.

"Hello, uh, what's your name?" I asked staring into his eyes.

"N..normal.. Man!" He choked out.

"He means Norman..." Mabel started drifting off.

"Well uh have fun I guess?" I ran up into our bedroom pulling out the journal. Inside I could have sworn I saw something like that guy. I flipped through the pages, then heard the sound of moaning outside. I looked out the window to see Norman slowly walking over to Mabel, with his arms out.

"I like you.." Mabel stayed there drifting off and staring at Normans face.

"Oh no! Mabel!" Look out!" I could catch my breathe. I could feel my stomach forming knots inside. I immediately flipped one page to find a zombie page.

When I got outside, I pushed Norman out of the way. "Back off man!" And I started showing Mabel the page.

"Dipper! What is wrong with you!?" She picked up Norman from the ground and started walking away.

She gave me an evil look and I knew what it meant. It was the look of "Don't mess this up for me."

I decided to follow Norman and Mabel for the next few hours. I recorded them, and I jot things down that were related to facts in the journal. After many hours of researching, there was absolutely nothing. I gave up and thought I was going crazy. I went through the tapes again to find nothing.

"Oh look at that. Mabel is having so much fun with Norman than with me." I skipped to the next video. In this one, Mabel had her arm warped around Norman, but just as he did the same, his hand fell off and then he placed it back on.

"Oh look, Norman's hand just fell off and then put it back- WAIT WHAT?!"

I replayed the video that had proof that Norman was in fact a zombie. I tried to tell Mabel before she left to go out with Norman again, but she denied it.

"Don't mess this up for me Dipper! Your little facts about Norman are not going to convince me okay?!" She slammed the door after leaving. I looked down at my journal, realizing it

must be fake. I threw it across the room, not wanting to look at it ever again.

Then it came to me. It didn't make sense. Someone cannot have there hand just fall off, and then place it back on. What if? What if?

I scooped up the journal and ran out of the mystery shack. "Grunkle Stan! I need to use the golf cart to save my sister from a zombie!"

Grunkle Stan stared at me. "Uh, go ahead?" I jumped into the cart and found the keys. I turned on the engine and then off I went, and since I didn't even have a license for driving I didn't know how to work anything. I drove around in different places, almost hitting people around me. "Sorry!"

~About 10 Minutes later~

I drove into a cave to find Mabel and -gnomes?- but, I thought she was with Norman. I hit a gnome on accident and then hopped out.

"Let go of my sister you evil, gnome thing? What happen to Norman Mabel?"

She stared at me with a blank expression. "You see Dipper, these gnomes dressed up as Norman... And now they want to marry me-"

I grabbed her arm before she could say anything else.

"Nope!" I pushed her into the golf cart and sped away. "Look back for me! Are they there?"

Mabel looked in the back and checked for gnomes. "No- yes! I suggest you drive faster!" But it was too late. Gnomes were chewing off the top of the golf cart and trying to take Mabel.

Mabel stared at me and then punched one. "Bro you never listen do you?"

I took one by the head and threw it out the side.

"It's hard to drive and fight at the same time you know?!" Eventually, we crashed right outside the mystery shack, where a huge statue of gnomes stood over top of us.

"Hey! Gnome! Fine okay! I'll marry you! Okay?!"

Jeff the Gnome just stared at Mabel. "Wait really?"

"You may kiss the bride!" She said as Jeff started walking away.

"Oh, well... Don't mind if I do!" He was about to kiss her, until she pulled out the leaf blower.

She turned it on high power and handed half of it to me. "Ready? 3..2..1.." And then all of gnomes were sent flying back into the forest.

I looked at Mabel, "Mabel I'm really sorry-"

"Dipper, im sorry. I'm sorry I didn't believe you in the first place.."

"Awkward sibling hug?" I asked putting my arms out.

"Awkward sibling hug." Mabel wrapped her arms around me, and a moment later, we awkwardly said "pat. pat."
