Static. Opens to Dipper writing on sign.

Mabel: (Whispering from behind camera) We're on!

You: pelp.

Dipper:Oh. (Clears throat) Hello. And welcome back to Dipper's Guide to the Unexplained.

Mabel: (Holds up UFO keychain and buzzes it)

You: (makes alien sounds)

Dipper: Thank you. Today we investigate Gravity Falls anomaly #132: The Hide Behind. (Holds up sign)

Static.

Dipper: (Reading from Journal 3) Local lumberjacks tell of a mysterious creature, always just out of sight. But these photos suggest it might actually be real! Either way, I intend to find out!

Mabel: (Jumps out at Dipper) Aah! I'm the Hide-Behind!

Dipper: (Drops camera) Aah! Mabel!
Mabel: Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

You picked up the camera with a derpy face.

Static, cut to Manly Dan.

Dan: Hide-Behind? Oh, he's real alright. REAL AS MY BEARD! Was behind me once; made this sound: "tch-tch-tch-tch". Mighty spooky.

The tree that Dan's sons are cutting down starts to fall. They run away.

Dan's Oldest Son: Daaad!

Dan's Middle Son: It's comin' down!

Dan: DADDY'S DOIN' A MOVIE! He's doin' a movie now.

The tree falls on a shack. Static, cut to Lazy Susan pouring and overflowing a cup of coffee.

Gray mustache man: Could I get a refill, ma'am? Refill?

Susan: Oh, the Hide-Behind is definitely real. Might even be behind me right now! Let me see... (turns around and around) Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa—! (Man is utterly confused)

Static, cut to Stan.

Stan: Don't believe every legend you hear, kid. The people in this town are literally the dumbest people in the world. Literally.

Static, cut to Lazy Susan still spinning around. Cut back to Stan.

Stan: The Hide- Behind's just a rumor. You want a mystery? How about the mystery of why—

Something runs behind Stan.

Stan: What the... AH!

Dipper: That's it! (Runs after it)
You: Hey! (Runs after him)

Stan: Hey, we're doin' an interview here!
Mabel: Y/N! Dipper!

Stan: Kids!

Dipper: I'm coming for ya. Where is he? Where is he?

Static, cut to a tiny tree.

Dipper: Alright. After hours of searching, I've narrowed it down to this tree. Y/N lost me for a second tho.. (the camera faces Dipper and you) I know what you're wondering. How do you catch a creature who's always right behind you? How about...

He steps away from the camera

Dipper: A mirror suit! Nothing's going to sneak up on old Dipper— (Suddenly gets poked in the head with a stick) AAH!

Mabel: (Hangs down from a tree) Blind spot!
Dipper: AAH! (Falls over) Oof! I'm down! Dipper down!

You laughed falling to the ground and hitting it.

Static.

Dipper: This is it. Get ready to finally be seen, Hide-Behind! In 3... 2... 1...

Jumps behind the tree to find an owl with a maraca in its mouth.

Dipper: A-ha! What?

Mabel: Wow! Cool! Maraca owl!

You: what even is tha-

Static.

Dipper: (Takes off mirror suit and dumps it on the ground, groans) Well, based on the lack of evidence, I have to conclude, anomaly #132, the Hide-Behind, just a legend. (Sighs and starts to walk away)

Hide Behind: (Follows him, then hides behind a tree when Dipper turns around)

Dipper: What was that? Eh, nothing. (Keeps walking)

The Hide Behind continues to follow Dipper, then hides when he turns
