A lost legend (Gravity Falls x reader)

Chapter 10

Dipper's pov:

Here I thought I'd continue to discover the wonders of Gravity Falls with a bit less chaos and war than last time we came. I wasn't wrong. But I wasn't right either. 

Though Bill might've perished, chaos is still brewing in Gravity Falls. Luckily for us, it's not all that damaging. Well- it is. It's just not Bill so we can deal with it. It's very strange to come back here after a year. It's like so much has changed. But has it really? I think what changed the most of all is us. I grew so much as a person since I came here for the first time. The outside world suddenly became less of a challenge because of it. So after a lot of begging from both Mabel and my side. We finally got what we wanted. Another summer at Gravity Falls.

Mom says sometimes... things are disappointing to go back to. Just like a vacation. You go somewhere and it's magical. And the next time you go, it's less magical. Less special. Because the fun of the first time, doesn't come back the way you wanted it to. So if after these two months of vacation we still want to stay just as badly. We get to stay here and go to our parents during the vacations instead.

I wanted to come back because... I feel at home here. My smart self gets appreciated here, and there are so many things to discover and do research on. My potential isn't limited here to the problems humanity knows it has. My potential exceeds all known boundaries here. I feel accepted, my family is here, I build a life here in those two months that I can't ever look away from. I think that's Mabel's reason as well. Back in the city she realized no one ever understood her extreme and outgoing personality. Out here she can have a social life and it be normal for Mabel to... well- be Mabel.

But aside from everything I just mentioned. Something had changed. Some girl had come to our Mystery town. Y/N L/N that's her name. A family friend for generations. Not that she's that old. Just her family line is. Just as our family line is old hers is too. And what's even more unique is that apparently there was a prophecy one day our family's will marry together and grow a beautiful line from them.

That's made up. My mother saw us playing as toddlers and young me had a crush on her. So she told Mabel and I stories about how one day we'd end up together. In the end I learned Mabel had a crush on her as well. But now? All those feelings seemed to bubble up again. I noticed my sister heat up just like I did when we welcomed Y/N among us once again. Memories coming back. Nice play, not so nice play, mischief, pranks that probably weren't that funny and possibly could've hurt someone if we weren't so bad at them-. Everything came back to me.

Y/N didn't seem to remember as she's kind of stiff and awkward. Just the same way she would when she was around strangers. She can play it off really easy and look cool and all. But if you spend your child days staring at her during playtime, you notice the expressions of faking, and meaning it. She did mean the smile. It was cute- but she wasn't fully comfortable yet. I feel Mabel stiffen up for a split second alerting me what she's going to do. 

Slumber party.... the one thing I hate most. 

But I guess it works right now. It'll get us to learn more about each other and push away the tension. 

But then... tragedy happened during our hide-and-seek game. I don't think we'll be having a slumber party tonight-
