Monster Falls

Prologue

A/N: I'm in the Gravity Falls fandom now, and this story was on my mind forever. I just had to write it. I already got a sequel in mind and everything. I really hope you enjoy this story.
...

It was an ordinary day in Gravity Falls.

Well, as ordinary as it could be in a town fully inhabited by monsters.

But that is beside the point. Today, we focus on the Pines family, which consists of a cervitaur, a mermaid, and a gargoyle who live near the forest in a house called the Mystery Shack.

Dipper, the cervitaur, trotted into the kitchen, having overslept since he was analyzing his journal all night. Mabel Pines, the mermaid, was already at the table, drinking a glass of her infamous Mabel Juice. Stan Pines, the gargoyle, was also already at the table, reading the newspaper.

"Hey look, Sleeping Beauty finally woke up," Mabel said, putting the cup down. Dipper ignored her, instead turning to his great uncle. "Grunkle Stan, can I go into the woods to look for a magical creature?" he asked.

"No," Stan answered, not looking up from the paper. Dipper frowned. "Why not?" he inquired angrily. "Because it's still hunting season, kid," Stan replied, this time looking at the young cervitaur.

Dipper sighed. Hunting season had started about a week ago, and Grunkle Stan hadn't allowed him to go into forest for that whole week. The young boy's deer side was getting restless.

"I know, I know," he said, "but I'll be careful, I promise." Stan shook his head. "I said no, kid. Not until hunting season is over," he told the young cervitaur as he got up and began to walk away.

"But Grunkle Stan-"

"I SAID NO, DIPPER!" the gargoyle roared, making the whole Mystery Shack shake. Dipper's ears flicked back and Mabel grabbed the cup and pitcher so they wouldn't fall off the table.

Grunkle Stan bent down to Dipper's eye level. "Just promise me you won't go into the forest, okay?" he asked. "Okay, fine," Dipper said softly, "I promise." He put one hand by his head. Stan put a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, you can go into the forest once hunting season is over," he told the young boy, more gentle this time. Then he walked away.

As soon as Grunkle Stan left, Dipper turned around and walked toward the door. "Wow Dipper, I can't believe you're going behind Grunkle Stan's back like this," Mabel said. The cervitaur stopped, then looked over his shoulder at his mermaid twin. "Mabel, I have no idea what you're talking about," he replied in a secretive tone. "Wha... oh!" At first, the mermaid was confused, but then she caught on quickly. Dipper nodded, then left without a word.

...

Wow, that was short. But it's the first chapter, so yeah. Comments are welcome. I hope you liked this.

Remember, reality is an illusion, the universe is a hologram, buy gold, BYE!!!!!!!
