--Dipper's P.O.V.--

Hi! My name's Mason Pines, I'm currently 17 years old and I'm from Piedmont in California. Five years ago, me and my twin sister Mabel went to stay our summer in this small town in Oregon called Gravity Falls, we stayed there with our great uncle -or "Grunkle" as we both call him- Stanford, even though we found out that the guy we were living with was actually called Stanley and not Stanford, and the REAL Stanford was trapped in another dimension until Stanley brought him back. We also found out that Grunkle Ford was the author of these journals that me and Mabel found in that same summer.  A lot of other weird(but fascinating) things happened  that summer as well. And in the end there was this floating triangle demon  named Bill Cipher who tried to dominate the world. But we stopped him! But back to reality, me and Mabel haven't been in Gravity Falls for some years, since we were busy with school, so this year we decided to go pay a visit to that old and weird small town that we all know and love...at least most of us know it exists.  "DIPPER LOOK!! WE ARRIVED!" Mabel shouted as she saw the water tower with a muffin drawn on it, even tho it's supposed to be an explosion?? Anyway, Mabel grabbed her bags and I picked up mine, Waddles  -Who our parents "LOVED " to keep as a pet-  jumped off  the seat he was sleeping in and ran towards the door, Mabel ran following the pink pig and so did I. 

"HEY DUDES! Whoa, look at you dudes! You are all grown up!" Soos said while taking me and Mabel in a bear hug. "It's nice seeing you, Soos! How have you been? OH! and is Melody around-" and while Mabel was asking questions, I looked at the renovated Mystery Shack. Renovated as in bigger. Since Soos became the manager 5 years ago, some things changed, there are new rooms and a bigger museum area for the tourists. And when it comes to the regular part of the shack, there are more bedrooms and more living space, which is pretty neat considering that me and Mabel don't share rooms anymore. I ended up staying in the attic while Mabel decided to stay with the old spare room that used to be Soos'.   As I was unpacking my things, I heard some shouting from downstairs. And some familiar voices.  

"Hey Kiddos!" Grunkle Stanley arrived at the Shack along with Grunkle Stanford. Both looked exhausted. Mabel being Mabel, couldn't just say hi like a normal person. Instead, she decided to jump towards both grunkles, who once again, looked exhausted. "DIPPER COME SAY HI!!" I sighed and walked forward towards Stanford. "Greetings kids. Wow Dipper, look how much you've grown." Stanford said. "How old are you two again?" He asked. I looked at Mabel , who was talking to Stanley, and then looked back at my grunkle. "We're both 17 years  old, we're turning 18 in August." I chuckled, damn time goes by so fast...   I stood there awkwardly waiting for him to say something, which he didn't so I tried to start a conversation. "So, how was the uh... mission?" Ford looked at me and gestured for me to follow him. We went to his laboratory under the shack. It was still the same. He placed his bag on top of a chair, and took everything that he had inside of it and showed it to me, Everything that was INTERESTING obviously. He showed me his new journal that he's been writing, since we lost the original three during Weirdmaggedon 5 years ago. I looked into the journal and it had amazing things. Some were stuff that he had on the other journals but with more information. I looked at every page looking for something new, until a few certain pages caught my attention. "Uhm, Grunkle Ford, can I ask you something?" I raised my head up to look at him, he nodded. "I noticed that you added some old information from your old journals into this one, which is nice don't get me wrong! It's just that... How about...him" He looked at me confused "Him? Who's him Dipper?" I looked at the journal, I opened in the page of the familiar triangle with a bow tie and a tiny hat and showed him. "Him, how were you able to get this information? I mean, yes some of it was from your old studies and the memory eraser gun was a nice touch but, I noticed that there are new things here, new information, how is it possible-" I was interrupted by my grunkle. He shushed me and brought me closer and started to speak in a low tone. "Dipper, I have to tell you something, but you have to promise me to keep it secret" He said, and I got excited, are we going on a mission?? Oh boy, this is gonna be amazing!! I nodded and waited for him to continue, only to see his serious face becoming a smile-y one. He started to laugh. "It's nothing Dipper. The information that is written in those pages is still the same. I just wrote it in a different way. I mean the memory eraser gun is the only thing new in there, the rest is things that we are aware of" All the enthusiasm I had was gone, the flame I had was pulled out. I mean, Stanford, THE STANFORD PINES just told a "joke". Since when he does that? I always thought he was a very serious person. I guess things have changed a lot. To not sound or look disappointed I gave a fake laugh. "Haha, that was a good one Grunkle Ford." He gave my arm a slight punch. "I was kidding with you kid, but I promise if I ever find anything new about him, I will tell you, and we will both study it, together." He gave me a small smile, which made me smile as well. Can you imagine?! Me and Grunkle Ford studying Bill Cipher together. I have so many theories about that yellow triangle. 

Overall the rest of the day was great. We ended up sitting in the living area, catching up, telling jokes, and just spent the evening together, eating pizza and watching the Ducktective show. Obviously, the episodes were the same ones from 5 years ago, they probably ran out of things to air on TV. Then, it was 11PM. Mabel was in her room already sleeping with Waddles, both  grunkles were also sleeping, including Soos. I was the only one awake at that hour. I walked towards these drawers and took a small journal out of the last drawer. It was this royal blue color, it had a golden Pinetree drawn, with the number "1" on it. I know what you're thinking. Are YoU WRiTIng a JoURNaL?? I hear you ask, and the answer is yes. During this last school year, I decided to make some searches on parallel universes, or alternative universes. And I decided to follow Ford's steps and write my own journals. Nobody knows that I have them, not even Mabel, since I don't want her to show everything to everyone or to possibly rip a page off or something. It's probably for the best to keep it a secret. Besides, I don't have anything written yet. I'm planning on asking Ford about it since he was stuck in another dimension, he could probably give me some answers. By now it was almost midnight, I yawned and hid the journal under my pillow, I laid down and got comfortable on my bed. It didn't take long for me to fall asleep.

---???'s POV---

"So they're back uhn?" A techno voice whispered. I looked down and nodded. "And so are the old Pines. And this time I think they're gonna stay the whole summer in that stupid shack." I said. He hummed. I sat down, leaning my back against the statue behind me, crossing my ams and legs. "So do you have a plan?" I asked. The voice chuckled. "Oh if I have a plan my dear!" The voice started to whisper louder. "You keep on following protocoll, and when the time comes" it started to laugh.

 "I WILL GET  MY REVENGE!!
