For Dipper, ever since coming to Gravity Falls, life had been the entire opposite of normal, from gnomes trying to abduct his sister, to a pterodactyl stealing her pet pig. From a group of animatronics controlled by a rather over obsessive computer AI almost killing him and his family and friends, to almost having his brains being eaten by zombies! Now to dipper, the supernatural seemed rather normal. For the past few weeks though, things had seemed to settle down, no weird sightings of any weird creatures in town. Whenever Dipper went into the forest, it seemed like any other forest he had gone into. No manotaurs were seen in the caves, No gnomes in the tall grass, and no floating eyeballs seemed to follow him. For Dipper though, all that was about to change . For Dipper, his life was about to come to screeching halt and go down an entirely different path, one he could never have foreseen. One he would curse for years to come.
