Ah, Valentine's Day, the day to celebrate the feeling of love. The small, mysterious town of Gravity Falls were extremely busy during this time of year, just like any other holiday. The whole town was covered in red. Handmade paper heart decorations, of all shapes and sizes, covered the buildings of shops and houses to make the town more "attractive" for this particular holiday. People were buzzing around town to find a gift at the last minute, with the shop owners are working endlessly.
The Mystery Shack was no different. Even the sign was repainted light pink, with dark hearts for an extra "Lovey Dovey" touch.
Gruncle Stan let co-workers, Wendy and Soos to take the day off to spend time with their loved ones. For Wendy, she's spending time with her best friend/boyfriend Robbie, while Soos was at his little apartment, stuffing his face with the chocolate that he bought last week, watching TV.
Unfortunately, Dipper and Mabel were stuck in the Mystery Shack. Both of them were around the armchair in the Shack's living room. Dipper was reading Book 3 sitting on the armchair, while Mabel was dangling two toasted brown waffles that were leftover from the twins' breakfast, while hanging upside down on the edge of it. Waddles and Sprinkles mouths were drooling with anticipation, watching those steaming hot waffles go from left to right.
"Since you guys are so hungry, there you go" Mabel said. She then dropped the Waffles onto the floor; both pets immediately started eating them.
"Glad you like them" she said, smiling widely.
Just then, Gruncle Stan came in the room, dressed up in a black tuxedo with matching trousers and shoes.
"What's gotten you dressed up Gruncle Stan? Mabel asked.
"Yeah, what's with the getup?" Dipper commented.
"Well if you must know, I'm going on a date with Susan today" Stan said, straightening up his tie in front of a small sized mirror on the wall.
Without looking up from reading about Pegasus and Unicorns in his book, Dipper says "That waitress, from the diner?"
"Yep, that's the chick"
"No way" Mabel chimed in, happily. "I knew my tips helped you out"
"Gruncle Stan, didn't you say you wanted nothing to do with her?" Dipper butted in.
"What… when did I say that?"
"When you have just gotten her phone number and finding out she was crazy for cats" Dipper remarked.
"Oh yeah that…I overlooked that issue and decided to restart our relationship"
"Well, good luck with that" Dipper said, his eyes still focusing on his book. Stan just ignored his comment and decided to walk straight out the door.
"Good luck Gruncle!" Mabel shouted, as the door closed. She then sat up on the edge of the armchair. "I hope Gruncle Stan's date goes well."
"Knowing him, it probably will end well" Dipper sarcastically said while turning the next page. He then noticed the huge tear where the next page was supposed to be.
"That's strange... there's a missing page torn out" Dipper said.
"Let me see, bro bro?" Mabel said. Dipper gave the book to her. "Hmm, yep…definitely a tear"
'Thank you Captain Obvious' Dipper thought, rolling his eyes at her. Suddenly, an idea was planted in Mabel's head.
"Let's go investigate!" Mabel said, her eyes sparkling at the thought of it. "We can try and find the page in the woods, someone might have stolen it!"
"Mabel, how can someone possibly stolen one single page out of my book, when I had it the whole time?"
"Good point…but it's still worth trying to find it."
"Eeh… I don't feel up to it today." Dipper said, slouching in the armchair.
Mabel couldn't believe what she just heard.
"WHAT, come on Dipper, where's your sense of adventure gone?" Mabel said. "Were the mystery twins Dipper, we are meant to solve mysteries like this, especially if it's from the book full of wired conspiracies. It's not like were doing anything today."
It was true, its not like they were going to do anything, stuck in the Shack and all.
Dipper sighed. Ok then, let's go mystery solving!" Dipper said.
"YAY" Mabel cheered, throwing her arms in the air.
"Hold on, let me get a few things first, I'll be back in a minute"
"Ok bro bro" Mabel said to her brother, as he ran up the stairs. Mabel turned to her two pets, who were staring back at her, smiling.
"Guys, me and Dipper will be gone for a few hours, will you guys be OK on your own?" Mabel said to them. Sprinkles answered with a soft meow while Waddles oinked.
Dipper came back down the stairs with a backpack. "Are you ready Mabel?"
"Yep, I'll race you, first one to the woods is the alpha twin!"
"YOUR ON!"
The Mystery twins ran out the door, heading for the woods.
Now it was just the pig and the kitten, all alone in the Mystery Shack.
