"It's amazing! Grunkle Stan said I was being paranoid, but according to this book, Gravity Falls has this secret dark side!" Dipper is telling Mabel all about journal 3 in our bedroom, flipping through pages, excitedly telling her our adventure in the forest.

"Woah! Shut. Up!" Mabel says 'though in the show it doesn't really look authentic, I still don't know if it's authentic in person! Dipper must not have paid attention' pushing me to show her authentic(?) excitement.

"Ow..." I whine, rubbing my arm where she pushed me.

"And get this Mabel!" I butt in taking the other lines meant for Dipper. "After a certain point, the pages just.. stop, like the guy who was writing it.. mysteriously disappeared!"

'Ding dong

'Oh great...it's Jeff and his gnome squad'

Sighing, I make my way downstairs, ignoring Dippers "who's that?" question towards Mabel.

Sitting in Grunkle Stans favorite yellow chair, I hear frantic footsteps coming down the stairs followed by soft ones.

Mabel comes barreling in the living room just as Dipper scoots me over and sits down, reading the journal.

"Mabel who is it?" I ask pulling my elbow out of Dippers spleen, trying to get comfortable.

"This girls got a date!" She exclaims excitedly, jabbing her thumbs towards her for effect.

Besides me, Dipper, ignoring my pleas for a better position, looks up with shocked features on his face. I snigger looking at it.

Glaring at me for a second, he turns back to Mabel, "let me get this straight: in the half hour me and Macie were gone, you already found a boyfriend??"

"I guess I'm just IRRESISTIBLLLE!"
Flapping her sweater sleeves wildly she giggles at herself, that is until the doorbell rang again.

"Oops! Coming!!" Mabel says while running, her voice becoming distant. Looking over at what page Dippers at, I see he's at the gnome page. Snickering to myself at the irony, but quiet enough to not raise suspicion.

"Ohhhh family! Check out my new boyfriend!" Mabel squeals out to me and Dipper.

"'Sup?" He ask slyly. Except I ain't falling for his game. And by the look of Dippers face, neither is he.

Stan walks into the room to see what all the commotions about. "And what's your name?" Dipper asks, voice cracking at the seams.

"Normal...MAN!" The gnomes in a trench coat explains.

"He means Norman...oh you got a little muscle there.." Mabel says amazed while squeezing his arm.

'Ew'

"That's that's nice." Mabel finishes drooling over his arm. "Uh you wanna go hold hands or something?" Norman asks. "Gasp* yes I do! Don't wait up!" She tell us, running off, not seeing Norman give us finger guns and runs into the wall trying to move.

Looking over to the others, Dipper is completely suspicious, it's actually quite hilarious. Grunkle Stan just shrugs and rudely pushes us out of the chair.

Heading upstairs, I can tell Dipper wants to talk. "Macie, did he seem off to you?" He asks, taking a seat onto his bed, opening the journal. "Yes. Definitely. Absolutely." A second after I say that I burst out laughing, unable to hold it any longer.

"Macie!! I'm serious! He seems really off..." Dipper shouts, then goes deep into thought, not enjoying my sense of humor, apparently.

"Sorry Dip, but you're always way too dramatic! Lighten up dude."

"I know, I know, I'm just worried about Mabel..."

Seeing how Dipper is really upset, I sigh and sit next to him. Putting my hand on his shoulder to comfort him, "Hey it's okay Dippin' sauce! Mabel has good judgement...she'll be okay......probably."

Dipper chuckles then sighs, getting up and thanking me for the reassurance, he heads out the bedroom door.

Right before he exits however he turns back around to face me. "Thank you Macie, like for everything." Smiling he leaves without waiting for a reply.

Now smiling even brighter than Dipper himself, I pat myself on the back. 'Good for you Macie! You went and made Dipper feel good! Hats off to you!' Sitting on Dipper's bed made me drowsy so I lied down to take a quick nap.

1 and a half hour nap later

'Ahhh so refreshed. After that, at least ten minute nap, I should be able to accompany Dipper to save Mabel!'
Looking over to the digital clock on the shared nightstand, it reads 7:45. 'Seven forty five?!? What!? I'm late! Where are they right now then?'

Running downstairs, past a bunch of tourists I stop. Right in front of the window is Grunkle Stan showing some mindless, money spenders a hypnotize thingy.

"I-I don't even remember what we were talking about" Stan says gruffly, completely out of it. I ignore them and run past. 'Given that  Stan is at the window right there, the twins must be outside currently fighting the gnome monster. Rushing outside to help them, Mabel gets up to do her 'sacrifice'. Dipper yells at her to stop, and she says something inaudible. 'Though, I know she says "just trust me on this Dipper."' Standing down, Dipper sees me in the corner of his eye. His eyes widen seeing me and he starts panicking, trying to shoo me away with his arm hand motions. Deciding to let this one play out, I walk backwards slowly.

Seeing Mabel shoot all those gnomes all over the place in person, is pretty freaking cool! After they all scatter about, 'except for the one carried off by Gompers haha' Dipper and Mabel walk over, leaves in their hair, hat missing. They are actually pretty cute like this. Turning to walk back into the shack silently Mabel speaks up, "Thanks Dipper, for saving me from the gnomes, I know you were just looking out for me.." she rubs her heel into the ground looking down sheepishly.

"Aw, it's okay Mabel, you didn't know Norman would be a bunch of gnomes in a trench coat."

We all laugh at that, 'oh here comes the 'awkward sibling hug'!!' "Awkward sibling hug?" Asks Mabel.

"Awkward sibling hug." Dipper replies, coming in for her hug.

I smile at their bond when they start to hug, only for Mabel to look at me. "Come on sis! You coming in for the hug or what?" Mabel laughs, Dipper turns around to look at me too, "yeah get in here Macie!" Smiling way too high that it hurts, I run in and join the hug.

"Pat pat pat." Laughing, we finally head inside.

"Yeesh, did you two get hit by a bus or somethin'? HAH, haha!" Seeing Dipper and Mabel's tired and worn down faces, Stan gets serious.

"Uh..hows about you three pick something out of the gift shop, on me." Grunkle Stan offers.

"What's the catch?" Dipper eyes Stan suspiciously. "The catch is, hurry up before I change my mind!"

Seeing the authentic look in Stan's eyes, Dipper hurried off to find something. Looking around for what I want, I find a silver ring, smiling, I pick it up and put it on my left middle finger. Wiggling my fingers to test it out, I notice it has some Japanese characters on it.'I'll have to ask Grunkle Stan about it later' Nodding my head when it fits perfect, I start to head back upstairs, already knowing what the other two got. Getting in bed, after brushing my teeth, the twins finally come in getting ready themselves. Yawning, I fall asleep before Mabel can 'get the lights'.

A/n so the item I picked out in the gift shop is something I wear on my left middle finger constantly.
