Afraid of the Forest

1

   Dipper was definitely not looking forward to being back at Gravity Falls. His parents still wanted Mabel and himself to go because they feared that Grunkle Stan was about to see the last of his days. Clearly, the man was still able to cheat his way into everyone's wallet, but still aged. Mabel had gone down the four summers after the first. Dipper was overwhelmed and never wanted to see that place. The last four summers were spent at a writing camp for kids who actually know how to write. Dipper had a lot of fun, but there was an age limit. Only kids under the age of 16.

"Everyone is going to be so excited to see you again!" Mabel squealed at Dipper as they were waving goodbye to their parents from the back of the bus window.

"What do you mean everyone?" Dipper chuckled. "You said that Wendy moved up to Georgia with Robbie."

"I mean like Grunkle Stan, Waddles, need I go on?" Mabel states obviously.

"How's it been down there since last time?"

"It was a lot more peaceful and the supernatural stuff has started to slow down, but since you're coming with me this time and not that lame camp, I'm sure we'll at least see and double headed deer or something like that." She laughed heartily. Dipper chuckled and conversed until they had to board the last bus to Gravity Falls.

"Gravity Falls, please." Dipper tried to hand the bus driver the money while he stared at his own hand waiting for the man.

"Dudes!" Soos chimed before Dipper looked up to see the man. "How you guys been? I haven't seen you in forever!"

"We're fantastic! But maybe we can catch up later?"

"Sure, dudes! Don't worry about paying for this, though. This one's on me!" Soos smiled. Mabel and Dipper both thanked him and sat in the very front seat so that they could talk to him.
