Gravity Falls, Oregon. 19th July 2012.
The morning sun lightened the Mystery Shack attic. The wooden boards of the walls and the floor had a warm golden brightness, reflected by the sunlight.
"Oh man... this day's being boring as hell..." Dipper moaned, covering his face with his hands, lying on his bed.
"Well, Waddles is having fun with the grappling hook. Ain't that right?" Mabel answered with a smile, petting her little pig.
Waddles was chewing Mabel's grappling hook. Suddenly, his teeth pressed the trigger and the claws flied in Dipper's direction.
"Whoa!" He gasped, before dodging in the last second.
Mabel almost died from laughter, kicking her legs on her bed.
"Your darn pig almost killed me!" Dipper exclaimed, his heart beating fast with the shock.
Waddles oinked, as if it was an answer to Dipper. "Oink oink."
"Yeesh, bore makes you grumpy." Mabel said.
She sat on her bed's messy blankets and continued enjoying the music from her MP3. Her headphones were hidden by her smooth, wavy brown hair, the sunlight giving them a golden brightness.
Dipper stared at her, suddenly curious.
"What are you listening to?" He asked.
"Hmm, what a coincidence! "Disco Girl" from BABBA!" Mabel exclaimed with a sly smile on her face.
"Really?!" Dipper jumped off his bed and rushed to the MP3.
"I was just joking, you bonehead! It's playing "Something I Need" from OneRepublic." Mabel laughed.
Dipper grunted. "That wasn't amusing at all." He said.
"Well, for me it was, you weirdo." Mabel smiled to her brother. "This music is amazing!" She added.
Dipper returned to his bed and stared at the ceiling.
"Oh... I already read the entire Journal, half the pages are blank!" Dipper sighed and covered his face with his hands again. "It just doesn't make any sense..."
"Oh, Dipper. Stop thinking about that creepy jornal for just one second! It's gonna drive you insane!" Mabel answered, while playing with Waddles, lifting and lowering his tiny hoofs as if he was a puppet.
A long silence succeeded, as Dipper was lying on his bed, lost in his thoughts and Mabel was listening to music while playing with Waddles on her bed.
"Hey, Dipper!" An idea came up to Mabel's mind.
Dipper took his hands off his face and looked at his sister.
"Wanna take a look at our summer photos?"
Dipper's eyes lightened as he filled with cheer. "Say no more, sis'! Go get your scrapbook!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In no time, Mabel put her scrapbook on Dipper's bed and sat next to him.
"Hey, I love this music! All About That Bass! You should listen with me!" Mabel exclaimed as the music began playing.
"Please, Mabel. Not All About That Bass. That music is so crappy and annoying, please..." Dipper protested.
"Fine! I'll hear it on my own. Boys..." Mabel answered, a little vexed.
They opened the book.
"Look! It's our first family photo! Remember when we were at our uncle's house at Christmas time?" Mabel pointed at the photo of their parents holding the Twins in their arms.
