Gravity Falls REBORN

Advice-berg Dead Ahead!

Since Dipper and Grunkle Stan never had that talk behind the RV, I decided to let my bro take up residence in the passenger seat, so maybe they'll actually get somewhere in this episode. Speak of the devil, said boy walks up to me as I unbuckle my belt. "What?" I ask since he just stands there awkwardly, staring at me.

"Uh, can I maybe sit there now?" I raise an eyebrow at the nervousness in his voice. 'What's his deal?'

"I was just gonna get up and offer it to you..." I half cup my mouth to block out my voice reaching Stan, "Plus, you and Stan missed a talk because of earlier, so I'm hoping this'll trigger it." I smirk, wink and sit up, clapping him on the back then leaving to join the girls.

I sit closer to listen in to their conversation, just to be sure they say the right things.

Our great uncle starts up the correct dialogue, "Something on your mind, kiddo? You're thinking about Miss Cold Shoulder back there, huh?"

Dipper draws out a whine. "Ahh, I'm so embarrassed. Look, earlier this summer I ruined my chances with Wendy."

Grunkle Stan snickers, "Heh, yeah. Chances."

I snort, but quickly look away when Dipper shoots back a killing glare. Continuing, Dipper speaks, "And I wanna move on, but I'm terrible at talking to girls. The moment I open my mouth around them I unravel like...like...well, I can't think of a perfect metaphor, but you get the gist. At this rate, I'm going to grow up to be a sad loner like Toby Determined." I bob my head up, down, left, and right in mutual agreement.

'Well, looks like they're good in the transcript department...I'mma see what the girls are up to.'  I stand up, pop my knee with a satisfying *crack* and move over, albeit wobbly, and plop next to the girls.

"Hey, girls, how's it hangin'?" I use Stan's catchphrase. 'Is it even a catchphrase? He says it, like, once...twice?' Mabel's leg swaying gets faster as she excitedly talks about boys and yarn.

"Hey there, Macie! Not much except talking about our next stop." Candy opens a pamphlet, and, since I'm sitting next to her, leans over and shares it with me, pointing to some things. 

"Oh, cool. So what is the next stop?" I ask to keep Candy occupied, since I already know what it is.

"It is called Upside-Down Town. You put on these Velcro shoes and walk on the 'floor' of the house." She giggles, "But really, the house is upside-down."

"Sounds nauseating," I say honestly, holding my already upset stomach. 'I took a motion sickness pill...what gives?!' I glare at my belly.

"WE'RE HERE!" Grenda suddenly shouts as we come to an abrupt stop. I jerk forward, as does Candy, and then back into the back of our seat. I groan and rub my head. After my vision clears up, because banging your head into a table face first is not healthy, I notice Mabel and Grenda are gone, as well Stan, Dipper, and Soos.

"C'mon, Candy, the group already went ahead." I grab her hand and lead her along.

We catch up to the hyper-active girls at the entrance where you put the shoes on. "Road dogs! Woof! Woof! Woof!" the three yell, after Candy joins them, slapping on their shoes and marching in the attraction.

Stan and Dipper walk up behind me, somehow, since they exited the RV first. "Alright kid, this is it, be confident," Grunkle Stan pep talks my brother.

"Right!" I see Dipper close both of his fists in determination.

"Wait," I stop his confident step, "what're you doing and why?"

"Oh come on..." Dipper whispers, "you know!" 

"Alright, fine." I roll my eyes and leave him be. 'He can get one or two girls, but I should stop him before he gets tons of girl's attention and make a fool of himself...'
