I woke up from a rough nights sleep rubbing my head and cracking my neck, sore from my sleeping position.
The bed I got was hard as hell and seemed to not have been slept in for years but hey it's all I got. I got up to apply my make up. Both my make up and clothing was mainly black. Some people may call me a goth but I just think the colour black looks good on me. I put on a t-shirt with a black leather Jacket and black ripped jeans and headed downstairs to see my family already eating breakfast.

"Morning sleepy head" my mom said chirpilly. I just waved and made myself a coffee. Already bored out of my mind I decided I'd take off early. "Hey I'm gonna head to that what ever shack a little early see you later"
My mom said her goodbyes as I set off. I wasn't exited to go to this place but I knew it would be better than slowly being suffocated by the dust in our new house so I was up for anything.

Finally I reached the place and it was a wreck. It was in worse shape than my house with various areas being poorly boarded up and the S on the sign had fallen so it now spelt "MYSTERY HACK"

"Yeah I bet" I muttered as I walked into a store area looking around. All I could see was many obviously fake tacky gifts and one worker sat behind the counter with her feet up reading a magazine. Immediately underwhelmed I went over to the old looking coffee machine in the corner of the room. I inserted some money and it buzzed and made some worrying noises before a leaky stream of questionable looking coffee leaked out of it.

Warily I took a sip but quickly spat it out and threw the rest in the trash. As a result a warm laugh sounded from across the store. I looked over to see the same employee laughing at me. Now she had moved her magazine I realised how pretty she was. She had long red hair, a great figure and she topped it off with a lumberjack look she pulled of effortlessly. "The only real mystery here is how they get the coffee to taste so bad" she said chuckling.

I wandered over to her "Yeah thanks for the warning" I said rolling my eyes. She shrugged "I like to see people suffer from it" she said smiling

"Jeez sadist much" I said smiling back.

"What no not at all it's just not all that entertaining around here". She looked around the corner before standing up "How about I make it up to you?" she said approaching me "I know a place that serves the best coffee in town"

"Somehow I think that means it's still gonna be trash" I said with an eye roll
"Hey don't knock it till you try it" she said pointing at me before grabbing her coat and leaving. She turned to me "Coming?". I shrugged and followed she was kinda hot so what the hell. I caught up to her and we walked to the diner which too seemed to be falling apart. It seemed I'd have to come to expect that from all buildings in gravity falls.

She hopped inside a booth and I sat across from her. She held her hand out across the table "Names Wendy Corduroy by the way".
"Corduroy?" I snickered shaking her hand. She rolled her eyes and groaned "I'll happily let you suffer on Mystery Shack coffee" she said warningly. "Ok I'm sorry I take it back. I'm Katie Winks".

We conversed for a bit after ordering our coffees and when it arrived I smiled as the smell of actual good coffee hit me. "So what brings you to Gravity falls Katie. Just a tourist" she said stirring her coffee "Yeah I wish. I'm stuck here for the foreseeable future unfortunatley" I said groaning at my new life. "Hey it's not all bad you just gotta know the right people" she said with a warm smile. "Would you be the right people?" I said raising an eye brow. "Maybe" she responded shrugging nonchalantly.

"So what does one do for fun?" I inquired as we left the diner. "Eh me and my friends just kinda loiter and go in abandoned places that kinda stuff"

"Wow sounds riveting" I replied smirking causing her to lightly push my arm. Suddenly she turned to me "If you're really that bored you should get a job at the shack. God, Stan will accept anyone and it would be nice to have someone cool around to talk to".

"I'll consider it I guess" I shrugged and kept walking. "Please do it gets so boring there."

"Well this is my stop" I said as we reached the bottom of my street
"I'll um I'll see you around"

"Yeah see you around hopefully as an employee at the shack" she responded continuing down the street. Maybe I will try to get a job there. I'll be earning and I've got nothing better to do. Plus Wendy seems cool.

There's just something about her.
