2 And off we go

It's been 5 years since becoming dipper and me and Mabel started middle school last year, It was a lot more interesting but they still taught me basically nothing since I pretty much knew it all.

Today is the last day of school and Summer break starts is tomorrow, our parents told us last week we will be going to Gravity Falls and Mabel has been way to excited for this while I have been in my room thinking of plans.

"Dipper!" I hear a shout and turn around just in time for Mabel to slam the door of our room open

"You excited for our trip?" she asks me, "Yeah I guess" I reply and push my journal back under my bed when I see Mabel distracted by squirrel on the tree right outside our bedroom window.

"You've been inside more often now after mom said we're going to Gravity Falls" she says while still looking out the window.

"Nah I'm actually really excited I've just been trying to learn more things to help there" I say and Mabel turns back around and responds, "Help against what? Aren't we staying with our Grunkle there".

"Hey you never know we might get lost in the forest" I shrug, "But what would we even do there, I could probably exercise but you?".

"I'm going to have the ultimate Summer romance!" she says at the top of her lungs right when our mother was walking past, "Excuse me missy?" Mom says.

I laugh and Mabel turns around and responds "Nothing mom" with a smile, mom looks at her for a solid 10 seconds and turns around and leaves,

"Anyway you coming downstairs? it's time for breakfast" she says after mom leaves,

"Yeah I'll be down in a minute" I respond, Mabel nods and leaves.

'This Summer is going to be the best Summer in my life' I think to myself with a toothy grin on my face.

"Welp time for school" I say while standing up to go eat.

I open my eyes and instantly got out of bed and shouted for Mabel to wake up, I ran out the room to the bathroom in the hallway.

I hear a thud behind me and see Mabel face first on the floor, I consider going to help her but she gets up and sprints past me getting to the bathroom first, "Oh c'mon!" I shout from outside the bathroom.

"Too bad Dipper" I hear Mabel shout from inside the bathroom, I sigh and head back to our room to pack my bags, I decided to pay some homage to the original Dipper by wearing similar clothes but just switched out the sleeveless jacket with a hoodie of the same color and decided to slightly longer cargo pants.

I pack a bunch of the same outfit since its normal here, like no one cares that they wore the same outfit as the previous day, I fish out my journal from under the floorboards.

'I should make a design to put on this just like Ford' I think to myself before quickly putting it into a secret compartment I made in my bag before Mabel comes back I pack other things like a toothbrush and such.

"Dipper I'm done!" I hear Mabel shout, I stand up and make my way towards the bathroom

"Dipper take care of Mabel and make sure she doesn't run off" my mother tells me while me and Mabel are about to enter the bus, I turn around and responds "Yes I'll take good care of her" I reply with a smile.

"Be good to your Great uncle ok kiddo" My father says after, ""Will do"" Mabel and I respond.

After some hugs we enter the bus and find a seat in the back, 'I've always wondered why they let 2 12 year old's take a 11 hour bus ride across the country' I shrug 'Maybe they just trusted us or this version of America isn't that dangerous.

"I can take care of myself" I hear Mabel mutter under her breath and I just chuckle, I look out from the back window and see our parents waving to us and I wave back. 'I'll miss you'.

____________________________________________

We've been on this bus for 7 hours and Mabel has already dozed off while I keep watch incase anyone tries anything and I must say our parents could of left us with something to do like a handheld console of something.

I open my backpack and pull out my journal, I turn to around the middle of it since the first half is the entire story line of Gravity Falls including the comics and anything else I could remember even if it might of not been considered canon.

The second half of the book is where I make blueprints for all the things I plan to make with the strange things that exist in Gravity Falls like the Mystic Amulet.

I plan to turn it into either a bracelet I can wear around which is the safer option or I could attempt to break the stone inside the amulet into smaller pieces and spread them around a glove, there are 2 ways that could go,

1. The pieces wont function when separated and I lose one of the only artifacts that I know I could use to defend myself or

2. They do work when separated and I can exercise more control using individual fingers. Well I might get more precise control I really don't know.

I sigh and put my pencil and journal back into my bag and stare out the window, waiting for the danger I'm about to get involved with, 'Time for some fun' I think while grinning.

I look up and see the iconic Lumberjack statue in the distance and know I'm near, I turn around and shake Mabel and say, "C'mon Mabel we're here".

She opens her eyes instantly and straightens her back, "We're here?" she asks and I just nod. She smiles and sighs "Finally that took forever".

I deadpan and respond "Really now? You slept the whole way I was the one that stayed awake"

She responds with a sheepish grin "It wasn't that long right?". I look at her like she's crazy

"It was 11 hours" I respond as I look out the window, The bus stops and I pick up my bag and Mabel follows behind shortly after.

"Really 11? Did you even sleep?" she asks and I respond, "Nope that's why when we arrive at our Great uncles place I'm going to take a nice long nap" The bus door open and me and Mabel walk out.

I breath in that Gravity Falls air that strangely feels different to breath in, "So where is the house" Mabel asks.

"Its in the woods apparently, North of where we get of the bus so we head that way" I say while pointing to my left, "Well what are we waiting for lets go!" shouts Mabel with shining eyes
