It's been 3 days and we've finally reached land. "Oh my sweet lord, look Dipper, land!" I shrieked. I knew at that moment if I saw anything this blue again it would've been too soon. My brother and I swiftly grabbed the ores as we paddle to land. "Hopefully from here, we'll find a town." My brother sighed.  As we got to the shallower part of the vast sandy beach I couldn't seem to restrain myself from jumping out and kissing the dirt beneath my feet. "Land, sweet wholesome land! Hey Waddles aren't you glad we're going to see Grunckle Stan and Ford again!" I say in my excitement. Only to not get any adorable oink in response I open my eyes and remember what happened that night. I begin to cry again my heart hurts and there's nothing I can do about it. My brother looks so guilty and it makes me hurt more. After a moment of silence, we solemnly make our way forward. We ironically are surrounded by pines. My brother turns around quickly running back for the boat. I gaze at him questioningly. " Almost forgot the box." He said as he also grabbed the bags that we left in the secret house. I gently touch the key hanging from my neck. "Should we open the box?" I ask a worried look forming on my face. "We should find a place to settle first and get rid of the boat so no one tracks us." I nod. After pushing the boat back out to sea we made our way forward for the journey ahead of us. Thank God, my brother went on all those trips to the woods and studied those plant books or I'd have been dead a hundred times over. We passed through trees, hills, streams, and rivers and went a few weeks just looking at the stars. We were never hungry though, Dipper had gotten us food and water, I found us comfortable places to sleep with a nice view. One day though as we traveled on random dirt path my brother and I  came across a sign I never thought we'd read again. "WELCOME TO GRAVITY FALLS, OREGON!"
