Through The Triplet's Eye: A Gravity Falls Fanfiction

Bottomless Pit

It was now roughly nine in the morning, the gentle rays of sunlight breaking through the clouds overhead and bathing us thoroughly. For some reason, Stan decided that this would be an ideal time to introduce us to the infamous tourist attraction I had come to know well. Using our trusty golf cart, he drives us to a shady area, waiting patiently for all of us to alight before he leads us to the dark, gaping cavity that looked like a rather nasty scar, afflicted onto this land by someone or something in the past. "In this land of ours, there are many great pits. But none more bottomless than the bottomless pit. Which as you can see here is bottomless." 

"Question, is it bottomless?" Soos asked cluelessly.

"Kids, can one of you try explaining this to Soos?" Stan sighed.

I try my best to answer Soos' question, trying not to give too much away. "Well, scientifically speaking, nothing can be bottomless." 'Even though the pit is bottomless, what is my life right now.'

"Grunkle Stan, why are we here again?" Dipper questioned, already looking bored out of his mind.

"To dispose of things that we don't want. So long, suggestion cards!" Stan throws said cards down the pit without even a scintilla of regret.

"Goodbye, creepy love letters from Lil Gideon!" Mabel exclaimed, launching a couple of sealed envelopes and a portrait of Gideon into the hole. "Die! Die!" 

Soos catches on to the fad, taking off his shoes and tossing them into the pit.

"What are you doing?" Dipper asked in utter confusion, shooting him a weird glance.

"Throwing stuff, dude. Everyone's doin' it." Soos picks up a barbecue grill, chucking it into the hole casually. 

I then spot Mabel pushing a large chained box towards the pit. 'Must be her box of personal secrets.'

"What you got there, Mabel?" Stan asked, continuing to hurl a multitude of Mystery Shack suggestion cards down the Bottomless Pit.

Mabel waves away his question, evidently trying to evade his question. "Oh, it's just my personal box of mysterious secrets. Nothing worth wondering about." 'I've always wondered what was in that box.'

She giggles and pushes it down the dark and barren void. "Goodbye forever!" 

"Grunkle Stan, do I really have to be the one to point out that a bottomless pit is, by definition, impossible?" Dipper pointed out, putting his hands on his hips.

"That's what I told Soos," I added, earning a nod from Soos as well.

Stan continues emptying his Fez hat of suggestion cards, his eyes reflecting his concentration. "Says both of you."

"I guess we'll never know," Mabel shrugged.

'And here comes the storm',  I thought to myself.

And sure enough, grey clouds began to materialise out of nowhere, circling around us ominously and painting the sky a dark grey colour. The wind also began howling, as if threatening us to go back inside the Shack. 

"Aah! It's some sort of invisible pushing force!" Soos yelled.

"Quick! Everyone back to the shack!" Dipper shouted, the wind only growing stronger and stronger with every second that trickled by, the intensity of the wind not abating in any form or way.

All of us except Stan heed his advice and streak down the lane to safety, wanting to seek refuge in our humble abode and stronghold, the Mystery Shack.

"I'm not done getting rid of these yet!" Stan cried, attempting to throw more of his suggestion cards into the pit. The wind inevitably blew the cards back onto his face, causing him to lose his balance and stumble.
