There were 3 things that Kim learned in the span of 48 hours she was in Gravity Falls. 1) Her great-uncle or "Grunkle" was a con-artist, 2) There were more to her cousin than they let on, 3) Gravity Falls is the strangest place she has ever gone to by far, even stranger than Toronto, 4) Tourist in America are waaaay to easy to fool. Okay, make that 4 things. Let's recapped what happened

"KIM! WAKE UP!"

Kim's eyes flung opened to the disturbance outside her door. That disturbance happens to be her great uncle Stanford Pines, who was easily better to be called as Grunkle Stan. The sound of his fist banging on her door did not bode the young Canadian well. After a while, Kim finally gave up ignoring the disturbance and got up. She headed straight for the door and flung it open. As she had figured, she was greeted by the wrinkly face of Stan Pines, which was not exactly something one would like to see first thing in the morning.

"Good, you're awake!" The old-timer said, "Freshen up, I have to show you where you'll be spending most of your free time. Meet me in front of the shop." Stan left Kim alone.

Kim slammed the door. She leaned against the door, regretting her decision on traveling to America.

"Should have gone to New York or something." she sighed. Kim got up and gathered her toiletries. She got out of her room and headed towards the bathroom, unfortunately it was currently occupied. Kim could tell as loud singing could be heard coming from the bathroom. She saw Dipper standing outside the bathroom, holding to his set of toiletries. Dipper noticed his cousin.

"Oh, Morning." the male twin said.

"Morning," Kim replied. She walked passed Dipper and reached for the doorknob

"Umm," Dipper started, "Wait, Mabel is inside."

"I know," Kim replied. She turned the doorknob. Locked. Kim took a pin from her hair and pick-locked the door open. She swiftly crept inside the bathroom and locked the door behind her, leaving an astonished Dipper outside.

"HEY COUZZ..wait, what are you doing here? No, how did you get in here?" Dipper heard his twin's query from outside.

"I'm here to take a bath. Now, scoot" Kim ordered her cousin.

Dipper could hear the sound clothes removing and girlish squeals.

"I'll..just use Stan's bathroom." Dipper slowly walked away from the door and headed towards Stan's "hidden" bathroom, located just across Stan's room behind a fake wall, similar to Kim's current room.

After everyone freshen up, the Pine(s) cousins met up in front of Stan's shop. There, Stan walked up to Kim followed by his two employees.

"Alright, starting from today, you'll be working here," Stan pointed to the dingy shack with his 8-ball cane. "These two are your co-workers. Blubber over here is Soos-"

"Sup, dude,"

"- You've met him yesterday. He does maintenance on the shop and helps up with the stocks." Stan then points to the lanky teenager, "The red-headed lazy one over here is Wendy -"

"Hey,"

"She's in-charge of the register for most of times when she's not slacking off." Stan could feel the glare from Wendy, but ignored it. "You'll be helping Wendy out with the shop, either keep the shop clean, handling the customers or be there to manipulate the customers into buying our junk." With the last remark, Kim let out a annoyed grunt.

"With that said," Stan looked at the twins, "Kids, show Kim around the shop, I gotta go greet some suck- er, I mean customers." He left the group behind.

Wendy approached Kim, "So, you're another Pines from the great white north. eh?"

"Pine," Kim corrected, "Don't do that 'eh' thing."

"What?...Oh, sorry," Wendy awkwardly responded. Kim felt slightly bad for the cold response.

"Sorry. I've met lots of tourist back at my old work place and it annoys the crap out of me when they stereotype." Kim clarified, "I'm sure you know the type." The Canadian Pine gave Wendy a half-smile of comfort, the rarest facial expression she would ever give. Wendy smiled back, knowing full well about those "types" of tourists.

"Well, we'll be meeting a lot more of those types soon enough."

"Can't wait." Kim sarcastically replied. The whole group went back to the shop to start working.

Throughout the day, Kim was taught how the tourist trap functioned. She was surprisingly good at it. Years of working at the video store paid off with handling the gullible tourists. So far, she had a pretty decent time, but she still didn't like handling with people.

It was her break time and she was resting outside the shack, a cold Pitt soda in hand and just staring at the woods where the backdrop of evening orange painted the sky. Her thoughts drifted to back to Toronto, on how the whole group was doing. She pulled out her phone to check on the guys, but was soon interrupted by a oh so familiar shouting.

"Over here, Mabel." She heard Dipper called out his twin.

"I'm coming," his sister responded, "Just hold your horses! The last time you were in a rush, you knocked our cousin down!" Mabel was closely behind her twin, with her pet pig, Waddles, just beside her.

"I can't help it, I saw where that thing is and this is probably the only chance we get to see it." the younger twin replied back, "Besides, I thought you would be the one excited about this?"

"Until I found out what that was!" Mabel shouted back.

Kim surveyed the twins as they headed towards the woods.

Is that really safe? Leaving these kids alone like that? She looked around to see if anyone noticed. Clearly, two 12 year-olds were allowed to do anything around here. Feeling a curious, Kim decided to follow the twins into the woods. She informed Wendy that she'll be back and headed towards the woods.

The woods was dense and the air was thick. One could feel the strange change of environment in comparison to the air from the town. Kim stuck closely to see any signs of disturbance of the path which could lead to the twin preteens. After a while, she heard the voices of her cousins.

"Here it is, Mabel. Look at the beast." Dipper exclaimed.

"Can I not, Dipper. That thing gives me the hibby-jibbees." the sister replied back, holding Waddles tightly.

Kim thread carefully towards the sounds of their voices until she was able to see the twins. But what she saw afterwards widened her eyes. She knew then and there that Gravity Falls was truly a strange town.
