Mysteries of love (Dipper Pines x oc) rewrite

Chapter 1

Dipper's pov

Stepping off the bus to be faced with the summer heat that shone down on me. I lift one hand up to shade my eyes from the sun. Mabel happily bounced off the bus, holding Waddles in her arms and squeezing him with excitement.

"Oh I'm so excited to see Grunkle Stan and Grunkle Ford again" she cheers. Since both of us were 16 now, we were able to walk to the shack ourselves. I was thankful for the nice weather today.

We walked along the usual path to Gravity falls. No one knew we'd arrived yet so it would be a surprise. When we reached the door, Soos was talking with someone outside.

"Soos!" Mabel yelled happily, running up to him. Soos turned to us. "Dudes. Welcome back" he laughed, quickly hugging Mabel. I laughed as the two happily embraced each other. "What's going on out here? Why is there so much yelling?" Stan demanded, opening the door to the shack and looking out.

"Oh. Its you kids" he states. Mabel lets go of Soos and quickly tackles Stan. "Oh Grunkle Stan. I missed you" She laughs, hugging him tight. He awkwardly pats her head. He then looks to me. "You got taller" he states. "Yeah well I am older now" I laugh nervously.

"Still awkward though" he adds. "What's going on?" someone else asks. "Dipper. Nice to see you again dude" Wendy laughs, walking up and slinging an arm over my shoulders. "Oh. Hey there Wendy" I laugh.

I look over to see Grunkle Ford greeting Mabel. Standing away from everyone was a girl with short ginger hair that covered half her face. "Who's that?" I ask. "That's Miranda. Ford's new apprentice. Go talk to her. I think the two of you will get along" she encourages, pushing me towards her. "Alright. I'll talk to her" I tell her before walking over.

She notices me approaching and turns to look. "Hi there. I was told your name's Miranda" I point out. "Yeah. That's my name" she agrees. "I'm Dipper" I introduce, outstretching my hand. She takes my hand and shakes it, a pair of black gloves covering her hands.

"So, what exactly drew you to be Ford's apprentice?" I ask, being curious. "I'm really into mysteries and the unnatural. Kinda runs in the family" she laughs, looking down at her boots with a slight nervous laugh.

"Oh really?" I ask. She nods before her eyes trail to my arm. "I like your tattoo" she states. I look down at my arm. "T-thanks" I laugh nervously. She laughs alongside me, eyes closing as she laughed.

When she finished laughing, she fiddled with some strands of hair. "What about you? What do you like?" she asks. "Pretty much the same. I love solving mysteries and uncovering supernatural things. Its always fun coming here since there's so much" I laugh.

"Yeah" she replies, looking at Mabel happily chatting with our grunkles with a distant look in her eyes. "You alright?" I ask. She shakes her head before rubbing the back of her neck. "Everything's fine. I just got a little distracted" she sighs, smiling slightly.

"Anyway. I hope we can be good friends Dipper" she adds, smiling slightly and showing sharp fangs. My cheeks heat up slightly but I ignore it. "Yeah. Sounds great" I agree, stuffing my hands into the pockets of my jacket.
