Chapter 3: A Meeting In The Woods
~Y/n pov~
It was morning, Gravity falls today.
I ran to the bathroom, took a quick shower and threw on some clothes.
I then tool a curling iron plugged it in and started curling my hair.
Once I was done, I noticed that my mom was starting to wake up.
She opened her eyes and stretched,"morning Mom" I said.
"Morning" she yawned, starting to get up.
"I'm gonna read my book and I'm gonna wait for you in the lobby, I have already packed my things" I said.
"Ok, be safe " She replied.
I walked down to the lobby and found a comfy chair to sit in, right next to the entrance, and I opened my book and started to read y/f/b.
Almost five minutes later I hear "Hiya y/n"
I looked up from my book and greeted "Hi Pacifica."
She sat in the seat next to me "So anyways I was thinking that we should exchange numbers so that we can schedule a time that I can show you around town", she said.
"Sure that sounds great! " I replied, getting my phone out for my pocket.
She told me her number and I put it in my phone under the name 'Pacifica Northwest'
She put my number in her phone 'y/n l/n' but after that she wrote :'bff' under my name.
That's strange.
I only met her yesterday.
I'm sure I didn't see it correctly, so I just shrugged it off.
Then my mom came downstairs with her bags "Hello, you must be Pacifica"
" Yip, that's me, you must be y/n's mom, it's a pleasure to meet you " Pacifica replied.
We then said our goodbyes, headed out to the car and drove away from the hotel.
We should be arriving in a couple of hours at Gravity Falls.
"So Y/n, are you excited to be on your way to Gravity Falls?",my mother asked.
I smiled and replied "Yes, I'm really excited, it's a place I have never been before so I'm really super excited."
My mother smile and said "Oh and you might meet a boy there..."
I frowned, "What do you mean?" I asked.
"Im just saying...Gravity falls is an amazing place..."
"Mom!"I exclaimed, embarrassed.
"Oh, and Dipper Pines is around your age...I wonder if you two will start dating" she said thoughtfully.
"Mom!"I yelled again embarrassed.
She burst out laughing once she saw my face was as red as a tomato.
"Ok, ok I'm just joking " She said,rolling her eyes.
I giggled slightly.
" Mom, can you tell me a bit about the Pines family? "I asked.
"Oh...well from what I heard from Standford Pines, Dipper and Mabel's great uncle, Mabel is a little bit random, colourful, loves sweaters and is almost always happy and energetic while Dipper loves reading books and going exploring and stuff...kind of like you in a way " She said.
We continued talking the whole way to Gravity Falls, I saw a water tower that appeared to have a spray painted image of a muffin on it...
Ok...that's random.
The sites all passed by in a blur and soon we were in front of a...shack? Well it says 'Mystery hack' but the 'S' had fallen out so I guess it was supposed to spell 'Mystery Shack.
I noticed that there was a guy that had grey hair which I'm guessing was Standford...and then I saw two kids next to him...that must be Dipper and Mabel, Mabel had brown hair which was hanging down loosely and she wore a bright orange sweater that said 'Hello'on it in bright,pink, and sparkly letters.
She also wore jeans with white sneakers.
Dipper was wearing a hat with a pine tree on it , a white top and a blue jacket over it with jeans and white sneakers...he isn't that bad looking...
'Stop it y/n' I chided myself.
The car parked beside the Mystery Shack.
"Were here!" my mom proclaimed happily.
"Awesome" I replied.
I opened my car door as my mom got out her side.
And we were instantly greeted by the Pines family.
"Hey l/n, it's been ages since I last saw you"Standford Pines greeted.
"Hello Stan, this is my daughter y/n"
I waved shyly at everyone, Mabel and Dipper both had their jaws dropped and they were staring at me...
Ok...that's not creepy at all... (Note the sarcasm)
~Mabel Pines pov~
I couldn't wait to meet the new family...
Maybe I can make a new friend.
Then a car pulled up next to the Mystery Shack...
Time to meet the new family.
Two people stepped our of the car, I knew it must be the girl and her mother as I had never seen them before in the town.
I was super excited to meet them...when I noticed that Dipper was frozen in place and he was staring at something...I turned to see what he was staring at and. ...when I did...I couldn't look away, my jaw dropped, in front of me there stood a girl about my age, she had h/l h/c hair that made me slightly jealous , I wish I had hair like that...and she had the most stunning e/c eyes...
She was wearing jeans and a f/c top and she somehow looked glamorous in it.
Ok...She is so going to be my best friend.
I mentally gasped...I wander what she would look like in a dress and makeup, we can have a makeover...not that she needs it as she's so totally beautiful.
She is so going to become my best friend!
I mean sure Candy and Grenda are good friends...but I need a best friend and it looks like I found my new bff.
~Dipper Pines pov~
Gruncle Stan and Mabel and I ran up to meet the family.
Two people stepped out the car, I first saw a women that looked a little younger then Gruncle Stan and then...I saw the most beautiful thing ever to have been seen.
Her h/l h/c hair that looked very silky and her eyes...her eyes were like a bunch of twinkling stars, her eyes were magnificent...they were the most wonderful shade of e/c.
I know how everyone says that 'nobody's perfect' …I believed that too...then I met y/n...she was the definition of perfection...I bet that when she walks through a door somewhere...all eyes are on her, and it's nearly impossible to look away...
~Y/N pov~
My mom and Stan were talking and...In front of me where the two twins who were staring at me...
two minutes passed...three...four.
Ok this is awkward...
"Hey y'all " I replied smiling, hoping to break the ice.
They were still staring at me...
"Dipper and Mabel, stop your staring and help the girl with her bags, she will be staying in the attic, with you guys " He replied.
"Y-yeah, sure" Dipper replied, I noticed that his cheeks were a little pink.
"Of course, I can't wait to give you a grand tour around the Mystery Shack"Mabel said, snapping back to reality,instead of staring at me.
Well...this is going to be an interesting summer. ..
We walked up to the attic, an eerie silence settling in.
"So...are you guys always this quiet? "I asked looking at them.
"Haha no, not really , we just need to get to know you more, I suppose " Dipper said nervously...
"Oh, I know, we can play twenty one questions! "Mabel said excitedly as we arrived at the door of the attic..Dipper being in front, opened the door for us, and let us both walk in in front of him...Mabel put a hand on her heart and said " Such a gentlemen" in a stereotypical posh British accent, then she burst out laughing as she walked through the door,as Dipper just rolled his eyes at his sister. I then went in after Mabel, Dipper was still holding the door open, I just muttered a quick "Thanks" as I passed him.
"Pleasure " He whispered, but I don't think he intended for anyone to hear it.
Then I noticed that there were three beds in the attic (in this story, the extra bed, they moved from the spare room to the attic.)
On one side was a bed facing towards the door and on the other side, facing towards the door too was another bed and then there was a bed that was facing the right wall and behind it was a window.
"Ok, this is the attic, that's your bed, over there " Mabel said, pointing towards the bed by the window.
"cool" I said, awesome now I can look out the window as I fall asleep, Dipper and Mabel and I all put my bags down and I sat on my bed as Mabel yelled "twenty one questions, let's all play… INTEROGATION TIME!"She yelled loudly.
Dipper chuckled nervous, is he always this nervous.
"What's your favourite flower?"Mabel asked.
I answered all of their questions and at the end of the last question my phone I had a message.
I'll check it out later.
"So...what do you guys do for fun around here?"I asked.
Dippers eyes lit up and he said "My sister and I have been going on adventures and exploring and solving the mysteries of Gravity Falls" and he launched into a full explanation of all the creatures they saw and mysterious they had solved,then his face turned very serious "But there is this dream demon...his name is Bill...he-"
"Turned my brother into a puppet "Mabel finished off.
I looked at them like they were insane, there are no things such as monsters or unicorns or gnomes or goblins and other mythological creatures.
Ok...so I could look at it two ways, They could be joking or...They could actually believe that these creatures exist and they are insane...I'm really hoping it's the first option.
Dipper continued "Don't make a deal, any deal with Bill Cipher, he will trick you-"
I nodded my head slowly...
ok...These people are insane...
"-But don't worry, he can't come into the shack because we have a protective barrier around the mystery Shack " Dipper said.
" Ok..."I said carefully, these people are insane.
"You do believe us, don't you?"Mabel said.
I put on a smile and said " of course I do" keeping my voice calm because I was talking to a bunch of crazy people.
Dipper looked at me skeptically "No, she doesn't, she probably just thinks that we are insane"
'Geez...good guess dude' I thought sarcastically.
"We'll take her out on an adventure" Mabel announced excitedly.
"Ok...but if we see Bill..we have to run inside the shack...he's too dangerous"
"You see, there's a magical protective barrier around the shack...so as long as we're inside were safe " Mabel said.
"Ok..."I said still questioning their sanity.
Mabel grabbed my arm and hoisted me up and exclaimed "Dipper get out the journal, it's time we took my new friend to an adventure!"
Dipper looked at me and said "Well you obviously don't believe us...so we will show you that these creatures exist"
Before I could even respond Mabel grabbed my arm and pulled me out the door and yelled at the top of her voice "into the woods!" ,Dipper trailing closely behind.
We reached the front door and Mabel and Dipper yelled "Gruncle Stan, we're going into the woods to look for a mysterious creature with y/n!"
Then I heard "Be safe" which I knew was my mom's voice.
Then I heard "Be back before midnight " ,which I presumed was Stan's voice.
We walked out the shack into the woods, it was only two pm.
I have now established that I am staying with a bunch of crazy people...and now we're in the woods...
Looking for a creature that doesn't exist...wait what exactly are we looking for?
"Hey Dipper...um...what exactly are we looking for?"I asked, voicing my thoughts.
"Oh...right." he chuckled nervously getting out book that had a picture of a hand with six fingers and the number three the middle.
"We're looking for..."he said as he paged through the pages quickly.
"Gnomes?" Dipper said.
"Ugh I hate those guys"Mabel muttered.
-And thus the great gnome hunt began...
After about five minutes Dipper pointed at something and told us to be quiet as we crouched behind a huge rock and he whispered "see...I told you we weren't crazy."
I looked out from behind the tree and my jaw dropped...gnomes...actual REAL gnomes stood in front of me.
They were tiny with a blue outfit and a red little hat on top of their heads...They were so short...they could fit in the palm of my hand.
Real...their real...
~Dipper pov~
Y/n looked extremely cute when she was surprised.
her jaw was dropped and her eyes were wide..
A gust of wind blowing her gorgeous h/l h/c hair around her beautiful face.
Perfection.
~Y/N pov~
Their real...OMC their real.
OMC! (btw, OMC stands for 'oh my cat' it's an expression)
Then I felt as though someone was watching me.
I turned my head ever so slightly caught a glimpse of Dipper staring at me although I didn't think much if it at the time.
"Sh-shouldn't we head back?" I stuttered
"Yeah...let's head back " Dipper agreed getting up and offering me a hand.
I gladly accepted it and he pulled me up but he didn't let go of my hand.
I blushed a little and so did he.
And then I heard a flash and "SCRAPBOOKORTUNITY" and turned to see Mabel holding a camera and going "aw"
Then I heard a voice say " What was that?" I turned around and noticed it was a gnome who spoke, they hadn't noticed us yet.
"I don't know Jeff...I think it came from over there " he said pointing over towards the tree where Mabel and Dipper and I were standing.
Shoot. They saw us.
"Gnomes assemble!" Jeff announced and next thing you know we're surrounded by gnomes.
"Oh no..."Mabel said.
" Well...well I knew you would come back to us my queen"
"Never"Mabel growled.
" Let us go Jeff " Dipper growled.
Jeff just laughed then his eyes focused on me and they widened "Well hello beautiful...the names Jeff..."
Dipper let go of my hand and stood in front of me protectively "She's not interested Jeff" he replied in a slow calm deep threatening voice.
Wow...This is side of Dipper that I haven't seen before.
I don't understand why their so afraid of these little gnomes.
"She doesn't have a choice, she will be our queen" Jeff said winking at me.
Dipper then growled and said "not in this lifetime" he then punched the gnome in front of him in the face, which then resulted in that gnome accidentally bumping into another gnome which the fell over another gnome.
All in all, it was kinda like Domino's...
My eyes widened...I didn't expect him to hit the gnome.
Dipper grabbed my hand and Mabel ' s too and we ran into the woods away from the gnomes, then I heard a huge roar and I turned around and found that there was a huge gnome made up of thousands of other normal sized gnomes chasing us...
"Isn't this exactly what happened last time " Mabel said while all 3 of us were still running.
"Yeah, serious deja vu moment " Dipper replied.
We came to a small clearing in the woods.
Dipper than spotted a tree with a hole in the middle and he pulled us inside it.
It was a very small space.
The giant gnome ran straight past the tree and off into the woods.
