Ah yes, the sleepy town of Gravity Falls...Is what I would say if Mabel and I weren't being chased by a possessed sheet of paper right now. How did we get here? Let me start from the beginning...

Two years ago, our parents sent us away to a small corner of Organ to live with our Great Uncle Stanford. But as we found out, Gravity Falls is a place of weirdness and mystery. Grunkle Stan and Great Uncle Ford were actually long lost twins; and Ford was the author of the very same three journals that led Mabel and I to discover the secrets of Gravity Falls!

Great Uncle Ford had made a deal with a demon long before Mabel and I were born. That demon's name was Bill Cipher. Bill was tricky, cunning, and kind of a child...But he tortured our family for years. We finally put an end to Bill once and for all and thought that was the end.

But turns out, we were wrong.

Bill was still out there.

Waiting to strike.

"Are you sure this is the right direction?"

"Relax! Taking the scenic route is much better than driving here!"

"Are you sure we should do this? I'm getting a weird feeling from this place..."

"Olly, you need to stop overthinking things! The brochure said this place and was quiet and relaxing. You need the break, and I just want to get away from the hustle and bustle of your busy kingdom."

Olly rubbed his neck. "But Dimentio...I don't like the feeling of these woods. I feel like I'm being watched."

Dimentio looked into the leaves. "I feel it too. How about this, I go on ahead and see if there's a shack nearby. You can stay put for me, right?"

"U-uh...yeah. I'll stay here. Just don't wander off too far! A-and if you're gone for too long then I'm going to look for you!"

"Just stay put! I'll be back shortly!" Dimentio walked into the bushes. "He worries too much."

Branches cracked and trees groaned softly. The sunlight glimmered through the pine, slowly becoming orange as the sun began to set. Dimentio kicked a rock and went to turn back.

Clink.

Dimentio looked back over his shoulder. The rock had hit something in the woods. It sounded as if it didn't belong. He went back, and slid between two trees.

A heavy feeling came over him. The rock had hit a statue, which sat with a reaching arm under the shade of a large pine tree.

"Why do I feel like I've seen this statue before?"

He slowly walked to it. Moss grew up the side of the triangular statue, small cracks forming in its aged surface. Dimentio smiled.

"I can scare Olly with this. A little tease might help him realize that these woods are harmless." He pulled out his phone. "No signal, but that's alright. I can still use my camera."

He picked up a long stick and cut a section out of the top, thick enough to hold his phone, with a quick snap and jabbed it into the floor. He propped up his phone, started the photo countdown, and walked over to the statue.

"Oh no, Olly! I'm shaking hands with a weird statue in the forest! I sure hope it isn't cursed!" He laughed. "Alright, time to be serious, Dimentio."

He grabbed the statue's hand and pointed at it with his other hand. His smile faded.

"What am I doing, fooling around in the woods? Olly's probably worried sick. I do have to say, the hand is so perfectly built that it fit perfectly around my ha-" He felt faint. "Oh...no..."

The woods fell into darkness.

Author Note: My GF interest started coming back after reading BoB (which wasn't that great btw. I only really read it for the lore anyway, not Bill) and I thought about this earlier today, so we'll see how this goes!

Kind of a "future AU" thing, but only two years (as to what Dipper said). The chapters will be named like episodes, and I'm hoping to get two "seasons" from this. If this was animated, it'll just be a series of shorts rather than full 25 minute episodes.

Stay Fresh!
