What? A Gravity Falls Story

Alone and Stones

Inside of the Mystery Shack. Dipper and Waddles are sitting on the couch watching television and eating cereal. Ricky sits on the ground while eating some bacon.

Their Grunkle enters with a pan with a pancake.

Stan:"Who wants Stan-cakes? They're like pancakes, but they probably have some of my hair in 'em."

Dipper:"Pass."

Ricky:"Already eating."

Mabel bursts through the door giddily with a newspaper in hand.

Mabel:"It's here! Aaah! Oh, it's here! It's here, it's here, it's here! I've been waiting all morning and it's finally here!"

Ricky:"What's here?"

Mabel:"The Gravity Falls Gossiper accepted my article about summer fashion tips for squirrels. My picture is gonna be in the newspaper! Check it!"

She shows everyone a view of the newspaper.

Ricky:"Pacifica Northwest declares v-necks the look of the season!" What am I looking at here?"

Mabel:"Woah, woah, WHAT?!"

They all look at the newspaper and see that the newspaper reads "GREATEST THING OF THE SUMMER!", and shows a portrait of Pacifica Northwest, with the caption "PACIFICA NORTHWEST."

Dipper:"Looks like someone bought their way to the front page."

Stan:"Is it legal for a child to wear that much make-up?"

Ricky:"Northwests..."

Mabel:"Ugh, Pacifica! She always ruins everything!"

Dipper:Aw, cheer up Mabel! I mean, no one even reads newspapers anymore."

Suddenly, Soos enters the room.

Soos:"Dudes! V-neck season is upon us! Who wants to help me get ahead of the fashion curve? I'm taking it one step further. With a w-neck."

He draws a construction line for a "w" and cuts along the lines.

Soos:"Must... follow... newspaper..."

Ricky:"Not helping Soos!"

Mabel glumly runs over to the nearby table and furiously pours herself a glass of orange juice, which she gulps down.

Mabel:"Aack! I need something to get my mind off this."

The television comes on.

Commercial Announcer:"Looking for a distraction from your horrible life?"

Mabel:"Why yes!"

Commercial Announcer:"Victory, honor, destiny, mutton! These old-timey sounding words are alive and well at the Gravity Falls Royal Discount Putt Hutt! *No mutton available at the snack shop* "

Dipper:"Hey, Mabel! You love mini-golf!"

He pulls out a scrapbook with a picture of Mabel winning a trophy at a minor league gold competition with the caption "AGE 9" with Ricky holding her on his shoulder.

Dipper:"She's been amazing at it since we were kids! What do you say, Mabel? We've had a stressful couple of days. How 'bout we take a break, huh?"

Stan:"Would kicking all our butts at mini-golf cheer you up?"

Mabel:"Maybe a little."

Dipper:"Come on, Mabel! Victory!"

He looks at his older brother, who is, now sitting on the chair leg.
