The Amazing World of Dipper Pines

Chapter One: A Journey of a Thousand Miles, Begins with One Step

It was an average day in Gravity Falls. Dipper woke up to the average birds, singing their average songs, with their average tone, of averageness.

Mabel woke up, happy as ever, because of her new boyfriend Mark.

“Good morning world!” said Mabel, as she cheerfully pulled the covers off of her, and hopped out of bed.

<span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Good morning Dipper!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Morning Mabel”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“You seem depressed”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“I am, everything is so…average” huffed Dipper

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Well, why don’t you go on an adventure?” asked Mabel

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Because, there’s no adventure for me to go on, there’s nothing for me to investigate” replied Dipper

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Why don’t you get a girlfriend or something?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“I’m not looking for a girlfriend right now”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Because you like Wendy and you’re afraid she doesn’t like you back!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Well, yeah I like Wendy, but I don’t like Wendy”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“You do!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“I don’t!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Boop!” said Mabel, poking Dipper in the nose.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Stop it!” said Dipper, swatting his arms around.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">Dipper went down stairs, then out the front door, to go see if there was anything he could do.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">Then, he bumped into a girl.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Hey! Watch where you’re going!” said the girl

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Sorry. Hi, I’m Dipper”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“I’m Cryss”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Nice to meet you Cryss. Are you from around here?” asked Dipper

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“No, I’m from Ohio” replied Cryss

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">Dipper sneezed, and Cryss just blinked.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“What? No ‘Aww, you sneeze like a kitten’?” asked Dipper

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">"No.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">Dipper grinned a little, knowing that he’s gonna like Cryss.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">~Gravity Falls~

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">Dipper was hoping to see Cryss again, so he waited outside The Mystery Shack. He waited for about three hours, and Cryss never came around. When he was about to go inside, Cryss showed up.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“I had a feeling I’d see you again” said Cryss

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Me too” replied Dipper

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">Then Mabel came in and saw the two.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Ooh! Dipper’s got a girlfriend!” teased Mabel

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“What?! She’s not my girlfriend!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“I barely even know him!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Well, you two would be so cute together, but you’re not a couple, but you two should be!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“But, I don’t even like her!” said Dipper, lying through his teeth.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Dipper, you like her, and you know it” said Mabel

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">Then a tall teenage girl walked over, she had short black hair with purple streaks, wearing a yellow hoodie, grey jeans, and green sneakers.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Who’s your boyfriend Cryss?” asked Tara

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“He’s not my boyfriend!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Okay, who is this guy who isn’t your boyfriend?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“That’s Dipper”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Oh, and you’re sure nothing going on between you two lovebirds?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“We’re not lovebirds!” Dipper and Cryss said at the same time.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Whatever, I’m gonna go kick a gopher” said Tara, as she walked off.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Sorry about my older sister, she can be very annoying.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“It’s okay.” replied Dipper

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“My sister likes embarrassing me”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“My sister embarrasses me sometimes too…”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">Just when it seemed like they were going to kiss…

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">…Mabel came running over.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Dipper! Wendy’s missing!” exclaimed Mabel

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“What?!” asked Dipper

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Who’s Wendy?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Wendy is the cashier the Dipper is in love with” said Mabel, matter of factly.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“I don’t love her! Anyways, what are we going to do?” asked Dipper

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Well are there any clues as to where she could be?” asked Cryss

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“All I found is this” said Mabel holding up a note, which read:

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">You stole my sweetie, so I’m stealing yours -G 

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Oh my god…Gideon kidnapped Wendy!” exclaimed Dipper

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“We should save her!” said Mabel

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“But what does he mean by me stealing Mabel? She’s my sister….How could I steal my sister? Does he not know we’re related?” asked Dipper

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Yeah…” said Mabel

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“But where would Gideon have taken her to?” asked Dipper

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“I think I know” said Cryss

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“You do?” asked Mabel

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Gideon is my cousin” said Cryss

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“What? But you’re so…And he’s so…” said Dipper

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“I know I don’t look anything like him, I’m his cousin on his mom’s side.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Well, do you know where they are?” asked Dipper

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Yes, I know exactly where they are” said Cryss

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Well come on! Let’s go!” said Dipper, pulling Cryss by the arm.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">Dipper kicked the door open, then yelled:

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Gideon! I know you have Wendy!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Oh, hello friend! Wendy? Oh you mean her?” said Gideon, pointing to Wendy, who was tied up.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Would someone please help me?” asked Wendy

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“SILENCE!” yelled Gideon, as he silenced Wendy with his amulet.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“How did you do that? I destroyed that thing!” asked Mabel

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Oh, it’s none of your business, my marshmallow” said Gideon

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Gideon! Why are you hurting my friends?” asked Cryss

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Cryss, what are you doing here from Columbus so early?” asked Gideon, nervously

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“I thought you said you were from Ohio?” asked Mabel

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Oh…hi-oh…Ha!” giggled Mabel

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Does she always act like this?” asked Cryss

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Yep, pretty much” said Dipper

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“No! Not the thing!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“I’ll tell if you don’t let her go!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“What thing?” asked Dipper

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Oh he just--”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">The group left with Wendy, and went back to the Mystery Shack.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Oh, that is embarrassing” said Dipper

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Hey Dipper...”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“N-never mind”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Yeah, see you around” replied Cryss

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Should I tell him? No, it could risk our friendship, we just met after all. But he’s just so dreamy, those blue eyes make me melt, and his hair is so fluffy, and he sneezes like a kitten…But you just met him! What if he doesn’t feel the same way? C’mon Cryss, make a decision! Tell him how you feel or stay in the friend zone, maybe forever!” said Cryss

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">~Gravity Falls~

She probably thinks I’m annoying an weird, like everyone else does…But maybe she doesn’t…She could hate me, after all, she is related to Gideon, but maybe she isn’t anything like him!” said Dipper

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(23, 187, 253); font-size: 11pt; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96); font-size: 11pt;">“Do you mind? I’m trying to sleep!” said Mabel
