Sigh. I'm still bored, it's been three days since I've met Dipper and Mabel, gotta say they've been fun to hang around with. Mostly everyone is hanging right here in the gift shop.

I'm just restocking some stuff. Wendy is reading another magazine at the cashier. Soos is also here, the employee that actually does a lot of work. Right now he is fixing a shelf into a wall.

"He's looking at it, he's looking at it..!" I hear Mabel whispering while hiding behind a table full of bobbleheads. Which of course is bobbleheads of Stan... I look at the person she's looking at, I think Mabel gave him a card or something. "'Do you like me?' Yes. Definitely. Absolutely..?" the kid reads off. Yeah... That's definitely rigged.

I reach out to my pocket to try and grab my phone.

Few moments of trying to find it, I remembered that I left it at the living room, because I sometimes hang out with the twins there.

I quickly went to the living room and found it on the couch.

"Yes! Phew, good thing I didn't lose it, or else my mom would kill me.." I shudder at that thought.

After grabbing my phone I went back into the room. While entering the room, I noticed Mabel pointing in my direction with her thumb.

"I stand corrected Mabel, he really did walk out of that door huh?" Dipper smirks at his sister, while his sister blushes.

"Shut up, ya dork!" Mabel says shoving her brother in the shoulder, Dipper just chuckles.

"What?" I questioned confused.

"Nothing!" Mabel quickly replies without missing a beat. Before I could say anything I hear Stan behind me, I move out of the door frame as Stan walks in.

"Alright! Look alive people, I need someone to hammer these signs at the spooky side of the forest" Stan declares as he holds up a bunch of signs, nails, and a hammer.

"Not it!" Both the twins say while holding a finger up.

"Not me also!" I say before I get picked. I tried playing it off making myself look busy. Grabbing the broom in the process.

"Uh.. also not it!" Soos interjects while screw driving a shelf into a wall.

"Nobody asked you, Soos," Stan replies.

"I'm pretty sure you did.." I mumble.

"I'm okay with that," Soos says proudly as he takes out a bar of chocolate and eats it.

"Wendy I need you to put up these signs" Stan looks over to Wendy.

Wendy remains seated and reaches through the counter in a lackluster manner, "I would... But ugh.. I can't..." She says without even looking at Stan. I chuckled at her actions.

"I'd fire all of you if I could," He sighs and looks at Dipper, "got no choice, you do it kid."

Dipper turns to Stan with wide eyes, "What?! Why me?"

"Because I said so."

He sighs, "Aww... Grunkle Stan whenever I'm in those woods I feel like I'm being watched.." he argued.

Stan facepalms, "There are no such things as a monster or anything there, kid," Stan explains to Dipper, "it's just a way to sell merch to tourists."

"I'll help you Dipper if it makes it better" I propose, "if you want anyways."

He looks at me with a grin, "Sure Will." He agreed with a thumbs up before looking back at an expressionless Stan, "is that fine Grunkle Stan?"

"Yeah yeah sure kid," he says giving Dipper all of the signs before leaving the room.

"Why did Stan need signs here again?" Dipper asks me confused.

I looked at him for a moment trying to remember why. "Well, he said that if there are any lost hikers they would know where the shack is... ya know to scam them probably," I said shrugging. "I doubt there would be anyone brave enough to hike in this creepy forest."

Dipper laughs at my joke which honestly isn't even a joke at this point. "I guess that sounds like Stan.."

Right now we're at the forest, Dipper and I.

I look over at the sight of the forest. The sunlight was still shining through the forest leaves, leaving some dark unlit areas. It was a beautiful sight here in Gravity Falls, minus the creepy stuff happening every day. I mean nothing happened yet, but somehow I still get goosebumps every time I went out there.

"Kinda creepy here huh?" I shivered.

"Yep, I don't know why Stan doesn't believe me.." He sighs as he hammers some nails into the tree putting signs up. Stan was a bit mysterious, he should have seen some weird stuff out there. Definitely hiding something.

I'll leave that thought for another time, right now I gotta do this first. "I'll hammer some signs over there so the signs aren't close together," I point to some random direction.

"Sure dude," he nods as he hammers more nails into another tree.

I walk into the direction I pointed to. After a few moments of strolling deeper through the eerie forest, I walked up to a tree and started hammering a nail into it. For the second time I shivered, I looked over behind me, nothing was there.

I heard some rustling to my right.

Looking at the bush, I ready myself for anything that might come out... I mean I had nothing, except for the hammer.. Which I doubt will protect me from anything, but it's better than nothing.

I bring the hammer up towards the sky holding my breath, ready to strike down whatever was there.

The bush keeps rustling, it stopped, after that something came out... It.. was a rabbit.

I took a deep sigh, "Phew, I thought it was something scarier," I did not want to encounter a bear or something here.

I hammered another nail to another tree to put up a sign. After a few more signs, I was finished, I went back towards the direction to Dipper. Few moments later I found Dipper and there is also a Mabel here...

"Hey guys," Dipper jumps at my voice, making a rather girly sound, I let out a small laugh.

"Hey Will," Mabel smiles while waving at me, "Are you done?"

"Yep, just finished" I give a thumbs up, "anyway.. what are you doing here?"

"Awww am I not allowed to help you guys?" She says pouting. Adorable.

"Well... I guess it's fine, we're done anyway," I shrug, "What were you guys doing."

"N-Nothing much!" Dipper quickly answers, suspicious okay...

"Uh-huh... sure you weren't..." I say being quite skeptical, "Well that's fine I guess.. let's go back then." I said dropping the subject.

After we went back to the shack. Dipper and Mabel immediately went up to their room in the attic. "Where-.. and they're gone." That was weird but okay...

I went to hang out with Soos, watched some TV. It was pretty fun hanging around with Soos, the only thing is every show in Gravity Falls seemed to be horrible. After some time the twins went down and watched some show with us. Sadly Soos had to start working again.

"Well, it's time for me to go to work," I stood up as the twins gave me sad looks. Before they could comment the doorbell rang.

"Who's that?" Dipper asks while we look at the door.

"Well, time to spill the beans, boop beans" Mabel replied as she knocks a can of beans, even though there's no bean inside it, "This girl's got a date! Woot woot!" She giggles.

Dipper and I looked at her strangely, "So in the half an hour we were gone, you already found a boyfriend?" Dipper replies.

"What can I say? I guess I'm irresistiblleee!" The doorbell rings again, "Oh. Wait!" She runs towards the door.

"That was fast.. wish it was that easy for me," I sit down on the armchair.

"Hey, at least you got a better chance than me!" Dipper argues while sitting down and taking a magazine in the table.

"I wouldn't say that.." I reply not really sure myself. "Is your twin always like this?" I chuckled.

Dipper shrugs at my question, "Not really. She isn't usually like this back home. I'm sure it will pass."

"Whatcha reading there kid?" Stan walks into the living room.

"Huh? Oh.. gold chains for old men magazine...?" Dipper reads of the title, pretty sure he wasn't even reading it.

"That's a good issue," Stan comments, while Dipper opens the magazine.

"Hey, family! Say hello to my new boyfriend" Mabel introduces us to a weird-looking guy. I'm usually not a judgeful guy but.. He looks really weird and suspicious.

He was wearing a hoodie with the hood on his head. He looks beat up, there's a hole in the right shoulder of the hoodie. There's some grass on the top of his head and a stick like he'd been running around the forest without caring for his clothes.

"'Sup?" He looks at us with his dead-looking eyes.

"So.. what's your name?" Dipper questions while the guy nervously glances at his sides.

"Uh... Normal... Man..!" I'm pretty sure there are no such names like that...

"He means Norman," Mabel corrects.

"What's that on your face Norman?" I questioned it was red.. maybe blood? Is he a zombie or something?

"It's jam," He says with wide eyes. I don't think I believe that...

Mabel gasps, "I love jam! Look at this!" She points to him and herself with a huge smile, trying to relate with Norman.

"So should we go now?" Norman asks looking at Mabel.

"Yes! Let's go!" Mabel runs off. Norman however bumps into everything trying to get out.

"Okay, that was weird.." I break the silence in the room. I turned to Dipper as he looks at me with a smirk.

"What you jelly, Will?" Dipper says in a curious tone.

I look at him in a deadpan manner, "Shut up Dipper.. You know what I mean," I said crossing my arm.

He laughs at my expression in response, "Yeah yeah... That was definitely weird.." Dipper says trying to, "I'll be right back!"

He runs of heading towards the attic, "Wait what? Where you going?-.. aaand he's gone.." I sigh. I look at Stan who took whatever Dipper was reading and was dissolved in reading the magazine.
