(Autumn's P.O.V.)
The plane landed safely on to the ground, as
I looked out the window. "Look at this place! I can't believe mom let me head out on my own!"
Once everyone got out of the plane, I searched everywhere to find my destination. I walked up to a nice lady who worked there.
"Excuse me? Do you know where Gravity Falls Oregon is?" The lady stared at me with a blank face.
"Why do you need to know that?"
"Well ma'am I'm here on Vacation! Also I want to visit the Mystery Shack! It seems like a nice place-"
The lady gave me this evil look. "Do not, and I repeat not go in that shack. It's dangerous in there, full of mysterious creatures!"
"Um... Okay?" Of course I didn't believe her. When I made it to the woods, I made my way through trying to find my cabin. Where was this place?
I searched for almost a half hour, and then, I reached a shack like house with arrows pointing to it. Literally, there were arrows surrounding the place.
"Hm..." I walked up to the door and took a deep breath. Don't worry. That lady can't be right, I could probably find some friends in here. That's when I knocked, loud enough for me to hear.
After a moment, I could hear some high pitched voice from inside saying "I'll get it!" The voice swung open with a girl, about my age, stood there. She had a purple sweater on with a heart on it.
"Well hello stranger! My names Mabel! What's yours?!" I stared at her.
"M..my names Autumn..." She pulled me into the shack, where all different products were being sold to different people.
"You alright there Autumn? Come on! You have to meet my bro!" I followed her up the stairs, saying absolutely nothing. "Dipper! I found a new friend that was outside, alone."
"Mabel, I swear if it is another homeless person-" but he stopped as we entered the room. The kid looked exactly like Mabel.
"Autumn, meet my brother, Dipper!" She came close to my ear and whispered, "careful, he can be a big nerd sometimes" Then she tackled him.
"Mabel come on!" He said laughing. "You know I'm studying!" I stared at the two and they looked so much alike.
"Yeah! Studying a book you found in the woods! Come on bro! Meet the new girl! She could probably stay in that extra room..." Mabel tried her best to convince her brother.
"Mabel, please." Dipper seemed like a nice kid. He wore a hat that I saw downstairs on the shelf of the shack. It had a light blue color with a pine tree at the top. He wore a red shirt with a dark blue vest.
"H..Hi Dipper.." I tried to start a conversation. He looked up from his book.
"Hello there," he added.
"Whatcha reading?" I said bending down next to him. He looked at me saying nothing, and flipped the pages.
"It's a journal I found." He said turning to the very front. "I found it yesterday but the author's name was ripped off"
A tag was shown that said "Property Of-" and then stopped there. The rest of the paper was split in half. "I just want to find out who the author is. He's got all these creatures written down. Thing is, this could be real! Gnomes from the journal were chasing us!"
"Wow, I'm..." I couldn't finish the sentence. Dipper had confused me at the time and then Mabel came in.
"Dipper, stop confusing the new girl with your nerdy facts! Sure the same gnomes chased us but that doesn't mean anything else is real!"
"Where's your proof?" He questioned Mabel. She didn't answer and walked downstairs.
"Dipper? What was that for?" I asked standing up walking towards the stairs.
"Well she can get annoying sometimes-"
"Well, maybe you can get annoying to her, but you don't see her complaining!" I walked down the stairs with my bag and tried to find Mabel. I thought that he had been nice, but I guess not.
I found her sitting by a vending machine hiding in her sweater.
"You alright there?" I asked trying not to feel awkward. She looked up at me with a blank expression.
"Yeah.. I'm fine..." She replied.
"Obviously not if you're down here sulking." I knelt down next to her and sat against the wall. "Listen, I'm sorry, that you know that your brother is literally sitting up there, being a nerd."
She whipped a tear from her cheek. "I just wished he wasn't so attached to that journal. Although it's been a day, I still feel, weird."
"Hey it'll be alright. I mean at least you guys don't have to search for a hotel in this woods for hours on end-"
"Hold that thought!" She stood and ran over to Grunkle Stan. He seemed like a nice guy. Although he was cheap, I didn't care. Before I walke inside the shack, he was giving a tour on a rock that looked just like a face. People raised their hands to question, and as Stan called on one, they said, "Is it a face?"
"No, it's a rock that looks like a face."
"So it's a rock face?" Another questioned.
He just wanted to stay in business. Mabel came back a few minutes later dancing around in circles, looking happier than usual.
"Okay, so Grunkle Stan said that it was okay to stay in the extra room upstairs until you find the place you need" she smiled and grabbed my arm. "Come on! I'll show you the room."
"Are you sure about this Mabel?" I asked. She didn't answer, but as she walked through the hall, I looked into Dipper and Mabel's room to see Dipper sitting there. He held the book in his arms, but it was closed. He looked pretty upset.
Mabel showed me around the weird room. It had all these pictures hung on the wall, and a huge bed, about queen size. I placed my bag down on the couch, and laid back on it.
"Hey Mabel?" I asked. She stared at me from the doorway. "How come this lady said not to come here? Is it dangerous?"
"How would I know?" She said walking out of the room. "I mean, we just got here yesterday." I sat down on the floor, looking at a carpet with a triangle with an eye on the center. I didn't want to say anything about it. I set my bags down and laid back on the bed, and when I looked up, Mabel was gone. I decided to go and talk to Dipper.
I slowly walked into his room and watched as Dipper slouched on the floor.
"You alright?" I guess I scared him, because he jumped up, hitting his head on the nightstand. "ow…"
"Whoa whoa, um, you okay?" I ran over to him pulling him up to his bed. I sat there watching him rub where he got hit.
"I'm fine." Thankfully.
"Dipper, can we um.. Talk?" He followed me into my room, as I sat on the bed. "Okay, so if this is gonna work-"
He stood there. His eyes staring into my eyes. It felt- I didn't have the word. It felt, peaceful. "Yeah?" He asked me. I had the feeling I was dozing off.
"I just want to make it clear, I hate it when people fight. It's gets me really emotional..."
"Oh okay.." He sat down on the couch. "Now that you know some things about me, I have to ask you. How come you've come to Gravity Falls?"
"Well I'm only here for the summer. I needed a vacation." I said
"Lucky you. Mabel and I weren't really into it. Actually, that's lie" He stood. "I didn't really want to. But now, it's not so bad." Then Dipper walked out.
Wow. What a guy.
I walked out a few minutes later from thinking, and went downstairs. "Dipper?" I asked looking around. Mabel didn't necessarily give me a tour of the shack, so I figured it out on my own. I found Dipper in the living room, slouched on the couch watching TV.
"Hey Dipstick. That's your new name!"
He turned towards me and laughed, not minding the name calling.
I could tell this was going to be a great summer…
