(A/N: Hey! Sorry! Quick Author's note, this is my first work and I'm trying to get used to the format of this app. Bear with me.. Also, I'll just apologize now for any grammar mistakes along the way. Okay! Byeee)

Dipper's P.O.V. :

I was surrounded by cake. All kinds of flavors! There was chocolate, and vanilla, and -

".. Dipper. " Whispered the cakes. What? They can talk! This is amazing!

"Why! Hello, my icing covered bake goods! How may I assist you on this exquisite day?" I say in the most pristine and proper voice I could muster. I could practically see the look of confusion on their non-existent faces.

"Dipper! Dipper!" The bake goods were chanting my name! They seem to be worshiping me, and how could I deny my biggest fans?! Especially with faces as sweet as theirs! (A/N: Yes, the pun was intentional.) I started bowing and blowing kisses out to them, they got louder! It was obvious they loved it, they were just eating it up. (A/N: ;D )

"DIPPER! FOR THE LOVE OF GLITTER AND STICKERS WAKE THE HECKING HECK UP! " My cakes sounded an awful lot like Mabel... Strange. Suddenly, an earthquake hit the ground and everything was shaking! This is the end for me! Goodbye my loving cakes! I'll miss you.

My eyes bolted open as I saw Mabel shaking me awake.. Oh, it was all a dream, there were no cakes worshiping me.. Maybe one day though. A boy can dream, can't he?

I was still a little hazed from the wake up, so I took the chance to take in my surroundings. I was in the back of what appeared to be a bus. The colors were all bleak and monotone. An assortment of grays and blue-grays.

The seats were made of some cheap leather, broken at the corners. Graffiti littered the back sides of the seats, they read; "speed Is KEYYYYYY", "Do you know da wae?", "Never Gonna Give You Up", and "4151318".There was one more, and it caught my attention. It was a scribble of a triangle with a singular eye in the middle. The letters "B.C." we're inscribed next to it. It sent a chill down my spine. I'm not sure why though...

Anyways, I glance back up at my sister, Mabel. She was wearing one of her many signature sweaters, this one was pink and had a multicolored shooting star across the center. She had a wide grin on her face and was practically dragging me off the seat.

"H-huh? What are we...... What's going on?" I yawned, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. She glanced back at me with a look of confusion, it was soon replaced with literal stars in her eyes. I'm not sure how or why she does the things she does, but.. cool. Not even going to ask.

"Come on, Silly! We're finally at Gravity Falls!" Mabel screamed, bouncing up and down. This girl... I swear she will be the death of me. Wait.. Gravity Falls? Oh, yeah! Our parents made us go on this long trip to stay with our Great Uncle Stan (Or was we call him, Grunkle Stan). Now, answer this: What kind of parents send their 12-year-old kids out into the world ALONE to live with a relative they have never met? I am shook-eth.

I lazily dragged myself and my luggage out of the bus and onto the grass, this wasn't the best wake up call I could have asked for, as you might have guessed. I felt like I could pass out any second from exhaustion. I glanced up through half-closed eyelids and saw a group of people smiling at me. One was an old guy with a weird hat, suit, and cane.

He was standing in a dramatic pose, like one you would see at the end of a dancing performance. He was even shaking and panting, like he had been in that position for over an hour. Another person was this big, dopey looking guy. Wearing a gray-ish shirt with a giant question mark across the front, and a brown hat.

Though he looked dumb, his smile was inviting. There was an extremely lovely girl off to the side, her arms were crossed yet she wore a warm smile. She had a green, plaid button-up on. Her hair was a distinct red and she had a fur hat on her head.

"WELCOME TO THE MYSTERY SHACK!!" The old guy belted out. I think he might be clinically insane, I might have to send him to Dr. - whoa! He suddenly fell to the floor, clearly even more tired than even I am. "Don't mind me kids! I'll just..... lay here.. for a minute.... or ten" He murmured, becoming quieter with each pause. Mabel and I just awkwardly stepped over him and walked to the rest of the people. Mabel went up to the guy, while I went up to the girl. I held out my hand and she grasped it in hers, shaking slightly.

"Hey, Lil' Bud! You must be... Dipper, right?" She smiled sweetly. I smiled back and answered:

"Yeah! That's me, what's your name?"

"Wendy. Wendy Corduroy."

"Nice to meet you, Wendy! Do you know where my Grunkle Stan is?" She looked confused at the name, but then realized what I meant. She slowly pointed at the old man on the ground, clearly embarrassed at his... "performance".

"Um.. He..... I'm related to this guy?" I timidly asked. She nodded, feeling sympathy for me. I felt a playful shove to my shoulder, I turned to look, and it was Mabel.

"Dipper! Come on! It's my turn to talk to the pretty lady! You can talk to my new friend Soos over there!" Mabel shouted. I swear... She's a great sister, but she is LOUD! I walk over to the boy, he towered over me. I mean, so did Wendy, but he wins by a long shot.

"Hello, you're Soos, right?" I ask. He smiles even wider and holds out his hand, offering a high-five, to which I shyly accepted.

"Yeah, Dude! It's cool to meet you, Dude!" He picked me up and almost crushed my spine. That was the biggest bear hug I have ever been given.. I made a mental note to cover my shirts in cacti and went to the sad blob on the ground (Also known as my Grunkle Stan).

"Hello? Are you alive?" I poked his limp body, he rolled over onto his side to look at me. He managed to force out a smile.

"Yeah, Kid. Now give your Great Uncle a hug!" He slightly lifted his arms off the ground, but gave up and flopped back onto the ground. By this point, Mabel had finished speaking to Wendy, so she went up to Grunkle Stan and BELLY FLOPPED ONTO HIM!! It was more extreme and painful looking than any wrestling out there. I physically winced as I saw him lose all of the air in his lungs. I reluctantly joined Mabel (Not belly flopping on him) and hugged him. Even though it looked painful, I was still giggling at Mabel's silliness.

I think I'm going to like it here.

(A/N: Yeah! First part done! Sorry if that sucked. :)

Also, I'm rewriting most of the story line, so I won't be following the episodes timeline.

Well, I'll just... see you later, BYEEE)
