It's been three years since Dipper and Mabel spent the summer in Gravity Falls, and things haven't been the same. Gideon's out of prison, and he's out to win Mabel's love, and exact his revenge on Dipper. He's teaming up with Pacifica, who wants revenge on Dipper for bringing shame to her family, and Robbie, who wants revenge on Dipper for ruining his relationship with Wendy. Also, Mermando's a human, and Dipper and Wendy's friendship is starting to feel a bit awkward. So...yeah. Things are pretty crazy. (This is the first story in the "Gravity Falls: Three Years Later" series.) (Be sure to check out my Fanfiction Polyvore account, RaechelFanficOutfits, to find outfits for the characters in each chapter.) (And oh yeah, I don't own Gravity Falls. Trust me, if I did, I wouldn't be spending my time writing fan-fiction based off of a children's television show on the internet. I'd probably be grooming my beard and ironing my flannel collection. *Wink wink*)

The day after my brother turned eighteen was the day that my mother packed a bag of clothes, drove off to work in the morning, and never came back. Fletcher and I went to the police, but nothing was ever found. They marked it as abandonment and closed the case which has been collecting dust for five years. In my mother’s desk drawer they found papers that looked like a will. She left us the house and all the money in her bank account. She also made Fletcher my legal guardian. I always thought that there was more to it than that. Today I start highschool without knowing a single soul until I meet Ava Summerfield
