Meet Ricky, Mabel, and Dipper Pines! Three siblings looking to just hang out during the summer with their great uncle Stan in a little town called Gravity Falls! Let's hope that nothing too crazy happens!
A blue pulsing light glows from the beneath the Mystey Shack. Inside of the gift shop, the vending machine inside the Shack, it is also back-lit by the pulsing blue light.
In the underground laboratory beneath the Shack, Stan and Ricky are working on the universe portal. Ricky pulls a lever, and green fluid pumps into large, glass tanks.
Stan:"Come on, come on. Should be just enough to finish the job."
He removes his fez and glove, and without knowing, wipes toxic waste on his forehead, which sizzles and briefly glows green.
Stan:"Whew. Can't be too careful with this stuff."
Red lights flash and a buzzer goes off. Stan smiles and turns to look at screen.
The screens above them read "EVENT INITIALIZED" and an eighteen hour countdown begins. Ricky sees Stan reading Journal 1.

Stan "Warning," blah blah blah, "Extreme usage could result in minor gravity anomalies." Can it, Poindexter!"
He slams the journal shut.
Stan:"I've come this far. I'm not givin' up now!"
Ricky pushes a button, and the portal begins to spin.
Stan:"Yes, this is it."
Stan's fez floats off of his head. Outside of the Shack, rocks float off the ground, along with Gompers the goat. A boat lifts out of the lake.
In the scrapyard, broken-down cars and junk lift off the ground, and inside McGucket's makeshift shack, a blue light blinks, illuminating the sleeping and floating McGucket and the functioning laptop which now reads "ACTIVE" under an image of the portal.
Back in the Shack, Dipper and Mabel, as well as Waddles, float off their beds, but sleep undisturbed. There is a resounding "thunk" as everything in town touches back down to the ground.
Stan:"It's gonna be a bumpy ride, but it'll all be worth it."
Both synchronize what looks like large wristwatches with the steadily ticking countdown, still displayed on the monitor.
Stan:"Just eighteen more hours. Finally, everything changes. Today."
Ricky looks at the journal as Stan looks at him. He notices a bruised mark on his neck.
Stan:"Was she the reason, you were late?"
He looked at him with a confused face before Stan gestured to his neck. Ricky rubbed his neck as he felt a tiny pinch of pain and he blushed as he looked at the console.
Mabel runs down the halls, followed by a heavily tired Dipper.
Mabel:"Ahh! It's here it's here it's here! Okay, so I was just opening random doors - because I'm a creep - when I found something amazing!"
