Years passed since the last time i visited my childhood memories. I didn't forget them, just left them behind for a bit. I never thought of visiting them again with someone else. But then, i was gonna be back home soon, couldn't wait to see my dad and oh uncle Ford! Maybe the twins will be there again, they will be sure seventeen now. I have my best memories with them, i may am ten years older than them but they were my best friends-cousins! Moving in LA was a tough decision but everyone accepted it. I miss them all but i feel my heart bumping like crazy and my back bleeding. Cipher wasn't a saint and i can still hear his voice in my sleep sometimes. Weirdmageddon left marks on me, both emotional and physical. That summer was supposed to be fun, Dipper having his little crushes on Wendy and Mabel making juice and playing with Waddles. I wasn't supposed to be a slave, nearly losing the people i love. Uncle Ford nearly was killed, my dad lost his memories and i was left speechless with bloody marks and pain. But i somehow burned those memories and hid the dust in the back of my brain.

"And how your small town is named?"

"Gravity Falls, Alex."

"And where is it exactly?"

"In Oregon, you dumbass!"

Ariel added from the backseat, Alex pouted as i giggled driving between pinetrees and grass. New friends and new life. Let me represent Alex and Ariel Hirsch, dah dah! They are siblings, twins! Dipper and Mabel gonna love them, i know it for sure. I told them i was gonna visit my hometown and they wanted to come. Ariel wanted, we had to pursuade Alex.

"Is it true that your cousin has a pig?"

"Oh you talk about Mabel, yes it is true!"

"I always wanted a pig!"

Ariel's face between the seats as Alex chuckled rolling his eyes. Ariel punched his shoulder with force, he let a painful sound glaring at her as she smiled.

"You're gonna love Mabel and Dipper, i hoped you could meet Wendy and Robbie, too but they left the town some years ago."

"Oooooh... You said something for an uncle and a father..."

"Right Ariel, Uncle Ford and my dad, Stanley.. They are a bit protective over me because-"

I froze, flashbacks and rewind. Fire and monsters, sinnister laughter through a mansion's walls. Burning pain around my wrists, blue glowing chains. My brain is a chest filled with thoughts and things that nobody else knows. Uncle Ford used to say that i am an intelligent girl, he told his secrets to me and Cipher tried stealing them. I may seem weak but i am not.

"Because you know i am daddy's little girl, moreover i don't have siblings and my Uncle doesn't have any kids so.. you understand me."

I faked another smile looking at the road, the mystery shack ahead of me. I stopped, Ariel running out exploring around. I looked at Alex before opening my door, he grabbed my wrist making me turn my attention back to him.

"I love you, okay?"

"I know and i love you, too Alex."

"I was gonna come anyways, just had to play a bit with Ariel."

"I know, i know.. Just, no one needs to know about you know our thing."

"Yeah, i understand."

"Are you lovebirds done?"

I rolled my eyes crossing my arms, of course Ariel would have to get in the discussion.

"I just said that, i don't want anyone from my family learn my relationship, got it?"

"Absolutely, ma'am."

"I'll try my best."

Alex and i both turned around heads towards Ariel as she shrugged smiling. I facepalmed, Alex sighed and Ariel gave us another goofy smile, this girl will never grow up.

"Y/n?"

"OH MY GOSH, DAD!!"

I ran in happiness hugging my father it's been a year, i missed him so much.

"I missed you so much!"

"Me too pumpkin! Soos left for Honeymoon with Melody."

"Wow.. The got married..? I lost too much.."

"Oh don't get worried, he left a letter for you in your old bedroom!"

"Stanley, where are t-"

I turned my head, uncle Ford! I ran happier hugging him, he was confused before realizing who i was. He laughed spinning me around before letting me down panting my head.

"You have grown so much!"

"If i tell the same to you, am i bad person?"

We laughed together, i missed times like those. My childhood wasn't bad at all, i loved it. Maybe i am a bit traumatized with all the supernatural going on but i love it anyways.

"Dad, uncle. These are Ariel and Alex. They are siblings, twins just like you!"

"Wow, i didn't know you'd bring friends this year honey."

"Yeah, that's something unexpected."

I smiled winking at Alex as his whole face turned red. Ariel chuckled looking at my dad.

"It's nice finally meeting you Mr. Pines! Your daughter is a true diamond and a really good friend!"

Ariel smiled as dad raised his eyebrow satisfied.

"It's nice meeting you too Ariel."

"Yeah, me too."

"I really couldn't wait meeting you, too Mr. Pines."

Alex added gulping, both uncle's and dad's attention in him.

"Y/n is a real smart and so charming person. I feel lucky meeting her."

He gave us a wide smile as i blushed mad trying to hide my face. Uncle Ford rolled his eyes smirking as dad gave a threatening glare to Alex. Alex gulped as Ariel laughed.

"Come in, the twins arrived before you, they are upstairs!"

"TWINS!"

I ran upstairs dragging Alex and Ariel with me in happiness opening weird their bedroom's door. They were there again unpacking, how much they have grown up.

"OH MY GOD, GUYS!"

"Y/n!"

I hugged them as Alex was starring at us uncomfortably while Ariel was  letting an "aaaaw".

"You have grown so much! Oh oh wait guys these are Ariel and Alex, they are my friends."

A pig interrupted us as it ran into the room. "Waddles!" Mabel laughed hugging it as Ariel eyes's widened like those in the animes.

"Is this your pig?"

"Yeah!"

"Can i hug it, i love pigs!"

"Sure!"

And as Mabel and Ariel were playing with the pig, Dipper turned his attention on me.

"Oh lord, you become more beautiful every year~"

"S-Shut up Pinetree!!"

He lifted my chin with his fingers as i blushed dark red. Alex clenched his fists growling as i rolled my eyes grabbing his hand.

"I do not support incest you dumbass!"

I whispered to Alex giggling dragging him to meet Dipper. I walked downstairs leaving them alone. Ariel was with Mabel playing with Waddles and singing. Alex and Dipper had covered the room with papers playing a board game, grinning to each other whispering things and probably cursing.

I walked into the kitchen facing Uncle Ford drinking coffee going through a well-known book as i sat opposite him.

"Journal three, hu? I thought you left those books behind."

"I would never do such thing, first of all they can destroy the whole world if they fall on the wrong hands. Moreover, mysteries and curiosity runs in Pines."

"Not in my blood, Uncle."

He left the journal down sighing deeply sipping from his coffee. I don't like when people look at me with that glare, feeling sad for me.

"I know that Weirdmageddon left marks on you y/n but it's been five years. Does your back still hurt?"

"Sometimes, it reminds me that i must be less curious and maybe a bit dumb."

"C'mon don't be that dramatic. Now tell me what's going on between you and that Alex guy."

"W-What so you m-mean..?"

I hate myself when i shutter, people can understand i lie.

"Stanley can be an idiot but i am not young miss!

"Okay, okay i got it.. He is.. uh my boyfriend."

"I understood it. The way he talks and looks at you. He reminds me of Giffany but less yandere."

I giggled standing up to leave. My head spinned around, i was dizzy as fuck as i placed my one hand on the table and the other on my head. Uncle Ford starred at me worriedly trying to help me.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah just a bit dizzy.. You know from the trip.. I'll go lay down a bit.."

"Let me help you.."

No one needed to know, even Ford. He helped me as i laid down on my bed, the covers over my body. He kissed my forehead leaving me, i begged to him to not tell dad anything. He smiled kindly and nodded before leaving and closing the door behind him. My back aching, i had a bad feeling as i closed my eyes. Soon or later i fell asleep, my dreams complicated.

Alex's P.O.V

"Wow Gravity Falls has some nice forests!"

I was left with the mouth hang open as Ariel chuckled walking by my side.

"Wow.. What's this?"

She ran as i followed her facing a strange statue. It was like an Illuminati. I tried touching it, she grabbed my wrist scaried.

"Maybe we should not touch this.. I have a very bad feeling, Alex."

"Aw c'mon. Look at me, i am a demoooon rawr!"

I spoke with a high-pitched voice scaring her more. I laughed grabbing the statue's hand.

The skies opened, colourful clouds and the statue turning to static. My eyes widened as Ariel grabbed my hand. She ran dragging me panting, me following her.

"I told you to not touch it!"

"I-I, what's happening!"

We were near that so called Mystery Shack as a voice took over the space.

"DADDY'S HOME, GRAVITY FALLS!"
