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 sign is shown saying "Temporarily CLOSED For Repairs."
The front door of the Shack is opened by Ricky. He gets inside and sighs as he sees his sister is lying on the floor with an empty cheese boodles bag. Stan is sitting on a chair nearby.
She blows a bag of Cheese Boodles into the air as the bag slowly drifts down.
Mabel:"I just ate a bag of Cheese Boodles without using my hands. Lazy Tuesday, you are delivering in a big way!"
Stan:"Heh. Yeah. It's nice to finally have a day where nothing interesting happens whatsoever."
Ford suddenly comes out of the vending machine door with a Cycloptopus on his wrist.

Mabel and Dipper scream.
Ford:"Everyone, get down! Don't let it taste human flesh!"
He quickly punches it and it drops off his hand crawls around the room before it's suddenly stopped by Ricky's telekinetic powers. Ford looks stunned at him.
Dipper:"What is it?!"
Mabel:"Can we keep it?"
Stan rolls up his newspaper as Ford looks at Ricky.
Stan:"Kill it! Kill it!"
Ford:"Fascinating..."
The cycloptopus' eye turns into a screaming mouth and he quickly shocks it with his gloves and Ricky throws down its burnt body.
Stan:"Great. Now get it outta here. It smells like if death could barf."
Dipper runs over to Ford with Journal 2.
Dipper:"Great-uncle Ford! You need any help with that? I've read all about these creatures in your journal, and I think I know how to--
Ford:"No! I'm sorry, Dipper. On the dark, weird road I travel, I'm afraid you cannot follow. Well, call me for dinner!"
He closes the vending machine door behind him.
Dipper:"Maybe next time then? Or not? Or never."
Mabel:"Aww, Dipper, don't take it so hard."
Dipper is hit with the newspaper.
Stan:"No, do take it hard. Take it hard and serious. My brother is a dangerous know-it-all, and the stuff he's messing with is even worse. Do yourself a favor and stay away from him, you hear me?"
Dipper:"But, Grunkle Stan, all summer long I've wanted to know who the author of the journal was. Now the guy lives in our basement and I can't even talk to him."
Stan:"Don't worry about what's in the basement. You belong up here with me and Mabel."
Mabel:"Yeah! Besides, the season finale of Duck-tective is airing this Friday! That's all the mystery you need this week. Come on, quack with us, Dipper! Quack, quack quack quack..."
