Chapter 1: Tourist Trapped
The summer, the sun, my birthday. I love the summer! Such a nice time!
A golf cart sped away from a giant monster. It was beaning driven by a preteen boy that had born hair.
That boy is my younger brother Dipper.
A preteen girl wearing a sweater was about to vomit. She also had brown hair.
The girl trying not to vomit is my younger sister Mabel.
A teenaged boy with black hair held Mabel as she vomited off the ide of the gold cart.
The cute guy making sure my sister doesn't fall out is named Darien Cutebiker.
A teenaged girl stood on the roof, she had long blond hair out in a strange hairstyle with buns and pigtails coming out of them. She also wore a strange outfit that made of a sailor suit.
The girl on top of the roof of the golf is me, Serena Pines. Why am I dressed in a weird sailor suit on top of a golf cart trying to get away from a giant thing.
It's a really long story!
It all started when our parents sent off to our great uncle Stan's for the summer.
He lives up in Oregon and for some reason he turned his house into a cheesy tourist trap.
Which all three of us had to work at.
But it hadn't been all that bad.
Serena was looking through out town when she bumped into a boy who was a couple years older.
"Oh sorry about that." Said the boy.
"I wasn't looking." Said Serena.
I'm also a bit clumsy… so this happen all the time.
"I've never seen you around." Said the boy.
"I'm here for the summer." Said Serena, "I'm staying at my Uncle's house."
"You uncle?" asked the boy.
Serena sighed knowing it would quickly come out.
"Stan Pines…"
"You mean the old crook who scams people at his tourist trap?" asked the boy.
"Yeah." Sighed Serena.
"Hey I know what it's like having an embarrassing uncle." Said the boy.
That was when a fighter form the nearby bar erupted into the streets. A small man came out of the bar and started cheering "Git 'im! Git 'im!"
"That's my uncle Tyler." Said the boy.
"Which one?" asked Serena.
"The one cheering." Said the boy.
The two looked at each other and laughed.
"Serena Pines." Said Serena.
"Daren Cutebiker." Said the boy.
The two looked at each other.
"I guess I'll see you around town." Said Serena.
"Yeah." Said Darien.
But really the store started one day…
Mabel was in the Mystery Shack's gift shop looked at a boy.
"Do you like me?" read the boy reading a note, "Yes, definitely, absolutely?"
"I rigged it." Said Mabel.
"Dipper I know you're in your boy crazy faze, but you do have to be that crazy." Said Dipper.
"Come on this is our first summer away from home." Said Mabel, "I want to follow my big sister's example and have an epic summer romance."
"I'm not having an epic summer romance." Said Serena.
"Hey Serena." Said a young Japanese woman she had shoulder length hair and seemed to be a purple-ish tint, "There's a call for you."
Oh that's Hotaru Tomoe, my uncle's personal assistant, apparently she showed up one day wanting a job. He just hired for the heck of it as he always wanted a personal assistant.
"Really from who?" asked Serena.
"From named Darien." Said Hotaru.
"See!" said Mabel as Serena blushed.
Serena blushed and went to get the phone. The call was short with Darien just wanting to know her cell phone number and the two exchanged numbers.
Mostly because Hotaru told Serena that her uncle wanted to talk to her about something.
"All right!" said Stan, "One of you three needs to go out in the poky forest and hang up some signs."
"This is why I had to end my call?" asked Serena.
"Lucky." Muttered Mabel.
"Look I don't care." Said Stan, "Wendy refuses to do it."
Wendy is the cashier of the Mystery Shack, she a bit older than me and she a lumberjack's daughter with three brothers and one sister.
Stan started doing Eeny, Meeny Minie Moe with the three of them and ended up choosing Dipper.
"Grunkle Stan. I don't want to go in that forest, I get a bad feeling whenever I go in three and this morning my mosquito bites spell out beware." Said Dipper.
"It says Bewarb." Said Stan.
Indeed the mosquito cites read "BEWARB".
Dipper looked embarrassed.
"Look life isn't fair." Said Stan.
He made Dipper go out of in the forest.
Serena sighed and looked at her phone.
"Maybe I'll call Darien later." Said Serena.
Wendy looked up from her magazine.
"Wait you got Darien Cutebiker's number?" asked Wendy, "He's the most popular guy in school."
"Really?" asked Serena.
"You might want to hide out for a bit, considering all the fan girls he has." Said Wendy, "You should be really happy school's out."
Serena stared at Wendy.
After a while, Serena began to get a bit worried.
"Hey, should I go check on Dipper?" asked Serena.
"Oh yeah… you don't know what could be in the forest." Said Soos.
Soos was the Handy man at the mystery shack, he's been working there since he was 12. I've heard a few stories from Stan before this trip.
"Wait I'm coming with you!" said Mabel, "I want to make sure Dipper's okay."
"Okay." Said Serena.
The two of them went into the forest and found Dipper was fine but seemed to be holding something.
"Oh good you're okay." Said Serena.
Dipper hid whatever he was holding behind his back.
"Mabel, Serena." Said Dipper.
"What you hiding? Some kind of nerd thing?" asked Mabel.
"No… no…" said Dipper.
Turns out a goat started chewing what he was hiding.
"Okay I'll show you." Said Dipper.
They got back to the shack and Dipper showed the Journal he found.
"Grunkle Stan thought I was just being paranoid. But it turns out that Gravity Falls has a secret Dark side." Said Dipper.
"Oh no way." Said Mabel.
"And not only that but the journal stops after a certain point." Said Dipper, "Like the author just disappeared."
"Weird." Said Serena.
That was when there was a knock on the door.
"Who is that?" asked Dipper.
"Time to spill the beans." Said Mable tipping over a can of beans, "This girl's got a date."
"What? But I was only gone a half hour!" said Dipper.
"What can I say this girl is irresistible." Said Mabel, "See Serena, you're not the only one to get a date."
"But this is wasn't a competition. "said Serena.
Mabel went to get a the door.
"So what you're reading?" asked Stan.
Dipper grabbed a nearby magazine and pretended to read it.
"Oh just…" said Dipper, "Gold chains for old man magazine?"
"That's a good issue." Said Stan.
That was when Mabel came into the room with a strange looking teen in a hoody.
"Family this is my new boyfriend!" said Mabel.
"Sup?" asked the teen.
"How's it hanging." Said Stan.
"Hey." Said Dipper.
"Hi." Said Serena.
"We met at the cemetery, he's so deep." Said Mabel.
"Are you bleeding?" asked Dipper.
There was a trail of something read on his cheek.
"It's jam…" said the teen.
"I love Jam!" said Mabel.
"So what your name?" asked Dipper.
"Uh… Normal… MAN!" said the teen.
"He means Norman." Said Mabel.
"Do you want to go hold hands or something." Said Norman.
"Do I!" said Mabel, "Don't' wait up!"
Dipper narrowed his eyes at where Norman was while Serena just shrugged.
Dipper was suspicious of him… but I didn't care…
But in hindsight, I should have been worried.
One day,. Serena was helping Wendy. When her cellphone started ringing.
"Hello?" asked Serena.
"Oh hey Serena I was wondering if you wanted to do something." Said Darien on the other end, "I don't know if you know enoguh about the town yet."
"Really?" asked Serena, "I'd love to."
"I'll pickle you up tomorrow." Said Darien on the other end.
"Okay." Said Serena, "What time."
They scheduled the times and Serena hung u; with a squee.
"Date with Darien?" asked Wendy with a sly smirk.
"It's not a date, he just wants to show me around town." Said Serena.
"Still! There are so many girls who want to date him." Said Wendy.
"Even you?" asked Serena.
"Not my type." Said Wendy with a shrug.
The next day both Serena and Mabel were getting ready for their dates.
"See I told you…" said Mabel.
"H's just showing me around town." Said Serena with a blush.
"That's a lie and you know it." Said Mabel.
"Mabel! I have to talk to you about something involving Norman!" said Dipper running in.
"Isn't he the best." Said Mabel, "Look at the hickey he gave me!"
She pointed opt the cheek causing Dipper to scream.
"Oh it was just a leaf blower accident." Said Mabel.
(Flashback)
Mabel put a picture of Normal on the leaf blow and hit it to suck. It of course got stuck on her face and she started to scream.
Both Serena and Hotaru heard this and went to help her.
(End of Flashback)
"No I mean he might be something." Said Dipper.
"You think a vampire?" asked Mabel.
"No…"said Dipper.
He opened the Journal, "Shabam!"
It opened to Gnomes.
Serena began to laugh.
"Oh man! He's a bunch of gnomes in a man suit? That's so funny!" laughed Serena.
"What? No…" said Dipper.
He switched pages to zombies, "Shabam!"
"A zombie?" asked Mabel.
"Dipper that's not funny." Said Serena.
"What I'm serous! How do you explain the blood, the fact he can't walk properly! And the fact he never blinks, did you noticed that?" asked Dipper.
"Maybe blinks when you do." Said Mabel.
"Mabel! Remember what the book said! Trust no one" yelled Dipper.
"The book said that." Said Serena.
"Well yes…" said Dipper.
"And you can't trust us?" asked Serena, "really."
"Well… uh…" said Dipper.
"Leave the room! Us girls are getting ready." Said Mabel glaring at him.
"You're just being paranoid." Said Serena.
Dipper sighed and left the room.
Soon there was a knock on the door and the two girls ran down, it was Norman.
"So how do I look?" asked Mabel.
"Sparkly." Said Norman.
"You always know what to say." Said Mabel.
The two of them walked past Darien who arrived.
"Who is that?" asked Darien.
"Norman, my sister's boyfriend." Said Serena, "You don't know him?"
"No… it's a small town, practically everyone knows each others." Said Darien, "And I know almost everyone in school."
"My brother thinks he's a zombie." Said Serena.
"Really?" asked Darien.
"Serena!" yelled Dipper, "I have proof that Norman's a zombie!"
"What?" asked Serena.
Dipper took out his camera and showed Serena. IT shook footage of Norman's hand falling off and him putting it back on.
"This is bad." sad Serena.
"We have to find them!" said Dipper.
Serena looked at Darien.
"Don't worry, I'll help." Said Darien.
Serena was surprised that wasn't what she was going to say, not by a long shot.
"That's so sweet." Said Serena blushing.
"ZOMBIE!" yelled Dipper.
"Oh right…" said Serena.
"Should we go get Grunkle Stan?" asked Dipper.
"He won't believe us." Said Serena.
That was when Wendy drove by with the Mystery Cart.
"Wendy, I need to barrow the cart!" said Dipper, "We need to save Mabel from a zombie!"
Wendy gave him the keys.
"Try not to hit any pedestrians." Said Wendy.
They all went in the cart.
They were about to drive away but Soos showed up.
"Hey you're going to go fight the zombies." Said Soos.
"Yeah…" said Dipper.
Soos gave him a shovel, "In case you see the Zombie." Said Soos handing it to Dipper.
"Thanks." Said Dipper.
Then he handed Serena a bat, "And this is in case you see a Piñata." Said Soos.
"Uh… Thanks." Said Serena.
And so Dipper drove off.
"Should I be driving?" asked Darien.
Neither one answered.
They began to search for Mabel, that was when they heard her cries for help in the forest.
They drove where was she was crying and saw a site that they didn't expect.
She was getting swarmed by gnomes.
"Norman turned out to be a bunch of gnomes! And their all butt faces!" yelled Mabel.
"Calm down Mabel." Said a gnome, "She's just going opt get married to all of us and become our gnome queen."
"What…" said Darien.
"I was way off." Said Dipper.
He looked at the page about Gnomes.
"Little men of the forest, weakness unknown." Read Dipper.
"Dipper I'll handle them!" said Serena.
She ran over, then tripped on a root.
"Get her! Maybe we can use her to convince Mabel to marry us." Said the apparent leader.
"Butt faces! YOU'RE BUTT FACES!" yelled Mabel.
As Serena being tied up by the gnomes.
"I have to protect my family." Though Serena, "I have to protect Mabel."
Dipper and Darien both got out of the carts. Just as a glowing yellow moon appeared on her forehead.
Thee a golden light as golden brooch appeared in front of her.
As if she was in a trance she grabbed and called out "Moon Prism Power! Make-up!"
The brooch glowed and forced the gnomes away from Serena. Pink ribbons came from the brooch and turned her clothes into something else.
She now wore a white leotard, there was a blue sailor collar, on her chest was a red ribbon where the brooch was now pinned. There was a blue skirt, and a red ribbon on her lower back. She had elbow length gloves with red piping, knee high red boot, a red choker with yellow moon on it. Moon shaped dinging earrings. On her forehead was a tiara with a red gem on it and on her buns were red jewels.
Serena stood up and everyone gaped.
"What ma I wearing!" cried Serena.
She began to blush bright red, "What's going on?"
She noticed Darien blushing a little.
She began to blush even redder.
"Oh man! I'm so embarrassed!" she cried.
That was when the gems on her buns began to glow her cries were amplified.
Everyone covered their ears.
I do cry sometimes…
Darin motioned Dipper to Mabel. Dipper grabbed the shovel and used it to cut the ropes that tied down Mabel.
Darien put his hand on Serena's shoulder. She stopped crying because of it.
"We'll figure it out later!" said Darien, "You have to calm down so can go!"
The four of them got into the gold cart and it sped off.
"So should we be worried?" asked Mabel.
"No… did you see their little legs? What are they going to do to us?" asked Dipper.
"WE need answers about what happened to me." Said Serena.
"She's right… and it's clear she has super powers." Said Darien.
Darien didn't know but stopping Serena crying in that outfit… just felt like something he did before.
"I'll look it up when we get back." Said Dipper.
That was when there was a rumbling sound, they turned around and saw a giant made up of gnomes.
"On second thought." Said Dipper.
"Floor it!" yelled Mabel.
Dipper did and they practically flew away from the gnome giant. Who sent gnomes at them to attack them.
One of them attack Dipper.
"Someone take the wheel!" yelled Dipper.]
Darien did so at Mabel began to pound the Gnome off his face who flew off with his hat.
That was when something came to Serena mind.
"I have an idea!" said Serena.
She climbed up to the roof of the cart.
"Nothing good can come up with that plan." Said Dipper.
Mabel nodded.
Serena stood on top of the roof. She grabbed her tiara.
"Moon Tiara Action!" she called out.
The tiara turned into a glow discus. It was aimed for the giant.
"Oh wow!" said Mabel as she and Darien watched.
Dipper was more concerned with driving.
The discus hit the gnome giant cutting off one of his arms. However it stopped and the arm reformed.
Serena caught her tiara and stared at the gnome giant.
"That didn't do anything!" yelled Serena.
"What did she do?" asked Dipper.
Turned her tiara into a glowing Frisbee… it didn't do anything." Said Mabel.
"Keep going faster!" yelled Serena.
Dipper did so they neared the mystery shack, however they need up crashing.
"Mabel! Serena! Are you all right?" asked Dipper.
"I'm fine!" said Serena.
"Me too." Said Mabel.
"I'm okay… if anyone cares." Said Darien.
Serena glared at her brother.
"Sorry…" he said.
The gnome giant approached them.
Dipper pricked up a shovel.
"That's not going to work…" said Serena.
"What would you know." Said Dipper.
"Because if my new magical glowing Frisbee what makes you think a shovel will work." Said Serena.
"Good point." Sighed Dipper.
Little did they know was that someone was watching from the Shadows.
"Marry is Mabel! OR we'll do something crazy." Said Mabel.
Mabel looked at the leaf blower and got an idea.
"All right, I will." Said Mabel.
"Mabel!" said Dipper.
"Don't!" said Serena.
"Trust me on this!" said Mabel.
She walked up to the giant.
"All right Jeff! I'll marry you!" said Mabel.
"Oh hot dog!" said the one named Jeff.
He climbed down and gave her a ring.
"All right come on Honey, let's go live in the forest." Said Jeff.
"You may now kiss the bride!" said Mabel.
"All right if you insist." Said Jeff.
Jeff closed his eyes and Mabel grabbed the leaf blower sucking him in.
The person watching laughed at the use of the leaf blower.
"What are you doing!" yelled Jeff.
"That's for messing with my feelings!" yelled Mabel she increased the suction, "That's for breaking my heart!"
"And this is for messing with my brother and trying to take my sister hostage!" yelled Mabel.
She aimed him at the giant, motioned over to her brother and sister to help her.
"Want to do the honors?" asked Mabel.
"You bet." Said Dipper.
Dipper sent Jeff flying at the giant which scattered the gnomes all through out the forest.
"Well that's over." Said Dipper, "I'm sorry…"
"It's all right… you were only looking our for me." Said Mabel.
"Maybe next your boyfriend will be a vampire." Said Dipper.
"Maybe you're right." sad Mabel.
"Award sibling hug?" asked Dipper.
"Awkward sibling hug." Said Mabel.
The two hug each other and said "Pat! Pat!"
"You know it's not over yet..." Said Darien.
"I still don't know what's going on!" cried Serena.
"Don't cry again!" said Mabel.
"Maybe there's something in my journal about this." Said Dipper.
"You have to focus on turning back." Said a voice.
They turned to see a woman coming out of the shadows who was dressed exactly like Serena, but with difference, her main color was a shade of purple and her ribbons were a shade of maroon. The stone on her tiara was a light purple, there was an eight-pointed star on her choker, and her brooch was a similar shape. Her boots when up her nee but were laces and her earing were in the shape of Saturn.
"Whop are you?" asked Serena as she, Dipper, Mabel and Darien all looked at her.
"In this form I got by Sailor Saturn. And I the Sailor Senshi of Saturn…" said the woman, "Oh wait… in English the term is Sailor Guardian. Sorry I'm still getting used to it."
"Sailor Guardian?" asked Dipper.
"Long ago there was a kingdom on the moon. On the kingdom lived in peace until one day an evil being destroyed the kingdom. The Queen used the legendry power of the Silver Crystal to send her daughter, Princess Serenity along with Princess Serenity protectors the Sailor Guardians and the Princesses beloved to the future to be reborn on earth. However the Princess wanted to protect her friends no matter what made herself gain the Powers of the Sailor Guardians as well before she was reborn. Because of this she was to turn into Sailor Guardian as well." Explained Sailor Saturn, "Serena, you are not only Sailor Moon but also the reincarnation of that the Princess."
"What?" asked Serena… well Sailor Moon.
Everyone else was confused.
"Wait! I have a question! Why didn't you help us?" asked Mabel.
"Well I can't… my abilities are only meant to be a last resort." Said Sailor Saturn.
"really and what would that entail?" asked Dipper specially.
"It is my job to end the world if need be, which means I can't fight along side Sailor Moon unless I absolutely have to." Said Sailor Saturn, "I was sent here to metro and train you."
They all stared at her in shock.
"You can see I'm choosing to remain a mentor right now." Said Sailor Saturn.
They all nodded.
"SO how do I turn back again?" asked Sailor Moon.
"Focus like this." Said Sailor Saturn.
Sailor Saturn was bathed in purple light and she return to her civilian identity.
One that shocked the Pines.
"Hotaru?" asked Sailor Moon.
"Yeah, I didn't know you Sailor Moon." Said Hotaru.
Sailor Moon closed her eyes and she was bathed in gold light returning her normal clothes.
"So wait… you were sent to train Serena." Said Dipper.
"Then that means… you knew the whole time…" said Serena.
"I didn't it. It was big coincidence." said Hotaru, "When we found Gravity Falls was where the enemy was going to attack and it was decided I go move there I knew I had to get a job to blend in. I chose the Mystery Shack because it looked fun."
All of them stared at Hotaru unsure how to respond to that.
"Originally I was planning for you and the other Sailor Guardians to completely hide your identities, but I can see that you found the perfect people to keep your secret." Said Hotaru.
Serena looked at Dipper and Mabel. Then at Darien.
"Just please keep between the five of us until we find the other Sailor Guardians." Said Hotaru.
"Will do!" said Dipper.
"All right!" said Mabel.
"I will don't worry." Said Darien.
"By the way. Darien, thank you for helping me rescue Mabel." Said Serena.
She went over and kissed him on the cheek. Hotaru watched this, her eyes widened. Then realized something and she smiled.
"What are you smiling about?" asked Mabel.
Then Mabel realized something.
"Wait you don't think…" said Mabel.
Hotaru shushed her.
"If he is, then they need to realize it on their own." Said Hotaru.
"We'll talk about this more tomorrow or maybe another day you're available." Said Hotaru.
Serena nodded in thanks with Hotaru relating that the next day might be a bad day.
"So tomorrow?" asked Darien.
"Yes." Said Serena.
Darien sighed to leave and Serena stood just long enoguh to collapse once he was gone from eye site.
That was a physically and emotionally exhausting day.
"Can one of you drag me into the Shack?" asked Serena.
"Not going to do that." Said Dipper.
"No way…" said Mabel.
"I hurt myself doing it for your uncle." Said Hotaru.
"Fine…" sighed Serena.
She managed to get up and the three of them entered in the gift shop.
"Whoa! What happened to you three? Got hit by a bus?" asked Stan.
The three glared at him.
"You know what? I just found out I over stocked some items. So how about you three get something on the house." Said Stan.
"Really what's the catch?" asked Dipper.
"Take something before I change my mind." Said Stan.
Dipper sat some blue and white basecamps with a pine tree on them. Serena noticed some jewelry. And found a necklace that was crescent moon and she put it on.
"How does it look?" asked Dipper.
"It looks nice." Said Serena, "How does it look?"
Good." Said Dipper .
"So what about you Mabel?" asked Stan.
"I choose grappling hook!" said Mabel.
"You sure you don't want a doll?" asked Stan.
Mable used the grappling hook.
"All right then." Said Stan.
That night the three of them got to the bed in the room they shared ant Serena sighed and looked at the brooch she got earlier.
"You okay?" asked Mabel.
"I'm fine… just everything is a lot to take in in… you know." Said Serena.
"But you're a princess! How awesome is that!" said Mabel.
"I guess…" said Serena.
She looked at Dipper adding something the Journal.
"It will be fine. You have us by your side." Said Dipper.
"Yeah, I do. I know I can trust you two." said Serena.
"Hey! Mabel, can you get the light?" asked Dipper.
"Of course!" said Mabel who use the grappling hook to do it.
Dipper's book said don't trust anyone, and with a secret like mine it's good to trust them. After all what sort of secrets does this town have?
Down stairs they didn't know that Stan was going into a secret room behind the gift shop's vending machine.
Meanwhile else where in town Hotaru was on the phone with her family back in Japan and just finished a conversation with her father.
"(Bye daddy.)" said Hotaru.
She waited for the phone to be switched to one of her aunts. They were her aunts by blood but they did help raise her.
"(So you found one of the Sailor Guardians?)" asked her Aunt.
"(I found Sailor Moon first.)" said Hotaru.
"(hat's good.)" said her aunt.
"But she's only visiting for the summer.)" said Hotaru, "(And she's my boss' niece.)"
"(You didn't tell her the whole trust did you?)" asked her aunt.
"(No, I didn't tell her that she isn't the first reincarnation of the Princess Serenity.)" said Hotaru, "(Also her siblings found as well as a boy I suspect is Endymion.")
"(Let them figure it out on their own if he is Endymion.)" responded her aunt, "(And perhaps it's best if they know her identity… After what I've seen involving the Tsukino family…)"
"(Thank you for understanding." Said Hotaru, "(I'll give you more information when it comes.)"
"Bye Hotaru") said her Aunt,
She heard arguing over of the phone meaning her other aunts wanted to talk.
She giggled and looked at a photograph of her as a young girl. It her and her strange make-shift family. Her father, her aunts (a woman with dark skin and her that seemed to greenish, a woman with wavy hair, and a woman that look like a man) she in the picture held two cats. One black and one white.
She sighed then started a conversation with one of her other aunts.
Indeed the destiny of Serena and her family was just beginning.
Next Time: Serena, Dipper and Mabel go fishing with Stan. But when an old cook warns of a monster in the lake, they must team up with Soos and the cook's granddaughter to find the monster. What will happen? And is there something about the granddaughter? Find out next time!
A/N: Yes, all of the Senshi/Guardians were reincarnated as relative of characters, with Serena/Usagi being a Pines, Darien/Mamoru as Tyler's nephew. Also Wendy's sister mentioned in the chapter and McGucket's Granddaughter (mentioned in the preview) are two of the others. But I won't say who (but Wendy's might be the most obvious). Who are the other two... I won't say for now... but they will interesting.
Also besides Serena and Darien the rest will have ordinal names that will be somewhat close to their dub names but not quite.
