Gravity Falls OC - A Weird Town

Chapter 29 - Cat's out of the bag

"What? You went on and caught a vampire bat?" I asked Dipper. I was looking over at the newspaper in my hand. "How'd you manage that?"

Dipper looked up from his book, "Well technically I didn't catch it. I just spooked it away," he explained, "That felt heroic and traumatizing at the same time."

"Well, you're known as 'Mystery Solver' in Gravity Falls Gossiper, by-.. What? Toby? I actually thought he wasn't a real journalist..." I commented still reading the newspaper.

"What? Why don't you think he's a real journalist?" Dipper asks.

"I did remember him trying to interview Stan with a turkey baster- which honestly almost fooled me," I laughed, remembering the memory. "I think it was that time when Mabel made the statues."

"Oh, how can you even remember that?" Dipper questioned while I shrugged, "But I think I did remember him doing that at some point."

"Also, he did sell you out to Gideon a few weeks ago," I added.

"Right that's true," he chuckles. "Fun times. Fun times..."

"That was fun for you?" I smirked, "Don't worry we'll have more dangerous things to do here in Gravity Falls." I honestly felt more excited by that thought.

"Eh, I'm sure we can handle it, I mean we got this far, right?"

"Yep totally."

Dipper and I were just chatting in the living room, well we were also watching until I saw the newspaper about Dipper.

Soos was somewhere upstairs in the shack helping Stan on some random stuff, probably on some not-so-legal reasons. Wendy was as always in the cashier trying to pass time. The other twin... I had no clue.

My thoughts were broken when someone came from the hall, "Will!"

I looked over to see my favorite person, "Oh hey Mabes!" I let out a smile, her personality is really starting to grow on me.

Before I could process what happened next, Mabel starts to drag me to the hallway with one of my hands, "Come on Will, I wanna show you something!"

"Woah," I said startled, "Slow down." We stopped abruptly at the hall, which made me bump into her, almost falling down in the process.

She giggled, "Oops sorry."

I stared at her for a moment before giving a small laugh, "It's fine, honestly." I backed up to give her space.

"Here! I made this for you." She hands me a dark blue sweater with a moon in the middle, which rather matched her dark blue sweater with stars in the middle.

"Ooh! This looks so cool!" I placed the sweater on. It was very comfortable and it fits my size exactly, "Y-You really made this for me?" I blushed.

"Yeah! So we can be matching!" She replied with an outstretched arm, displaying her own sweater, which looked rather cute.

I hugged her which she returned warmly. I surprisingly kissed her on the cheek which made her blush in return, "Thanks."

"Y-Yeah..."

"Oh my g-" A voice said, followed by a series of thuds.

We both looked at the source and found Grenda and Candy on top of Dipper who was painfully laying on the floor. I looked up from them to also see Wendy who was laughing at them.

I separated from Mabel's hug and approached them, "What are you guys doing..."

"Get off me please.." Dipper said from the floor.
