Dipper's POV

   What did the author mean by 'Trust no one'? What is going on in this town? So I took it upon myself to discover the secrets of Gravity Falls. Mabel offered to help and hey, why not? This is where my story starts.

   "Hey Dippin' sauce! Any luck with that journal today?" Mabel bounded into our room.

   "Uh no. Although there are some interesting things in here. I mean look at this! A squash with a human face and emotions!" I said excitedly showing Mabel the drawing.

   "I want that squash." Mabel said smiling. "I'm telling you, there is alot of creepy things in here." I responded flipping the page.

   The next page was a cipher wheel thing. Next. "Cool, how too raise the dead!" Mabel peered over my shoulder. "They should have a sweater creature or something. It gets tiring making my own sometimes." Mabel flipped a page.

   "I'm just curious about who wrote this. I mean we need some answers on this stuff." I said.

   "Oh! Look at me and you solving mysteries together in a creepy old guy's shack! Mystery twins!!!" Mabel shouted jumping off her bed.

   "Don't use that." I face palmed.

   "Suit yourself! Mabel out." Mabel went out of the room. I closed the journal.

   "Don't stress so much Dipper. This is a mystery that will unravel with time. The universe can handle it." I said to myself.

   I laid on my bed. "The universe is taking too long. I can do this." I sit up and head down stairs to the shack. Mabel was spinning around on a globe and Grunkle Stan was taking a tour group around. I saw Wendy working the cashier stand looking bored. That's my cue. I puffed up my chest and walked over. "Hey Wendy! Boring day am I right?" I asked casually.

  "Hey Dipper. Yeah, it's a slow day." She replied. This is it! Go for it Dipper! Man, I need to stop talking to myself.

  "So I was wondering if maybe after your shift, we could go for a walk or something?" I asked shifting around a bit.

  "Sounds cool dude, see you after shift okay?" Wendy asked smiling.

  "Sounds good!" I replied almost squeaking. This was amazing. I contained my excitement until Mabel popped up beside me.

   "Look at you! You got a date!" She squealed.

   "I know! I just went for it and I kept cool." I said.

   "Except for that kitten squeak at the end." Mabel smiled poking my cheek. "Boop." She said. I headed out the back of the Mystery Shack to wait for Wendy. I was kicking a stone around when I heard a noise in the woods. Then Soos came out. He saw me.

   "Oh hey dude, if your wondering why I'm coming out of the forest it's because this creepy little thing stole my bag of Burrito Bites." He said.

   I looked up. "A weird thing huh? What did it look like?" I asked.

   "It was yey high, and looked like a squirrel except it wasn't a squirrel." Soos explained.

   "Can you take me too it? Maybe I can document it!" I said pulling the journal out of my coat. But my date! I couldn't bail. Wendy came out the back door.

   "Are you ready Dipper?" She asked.

   "Yeah! uh, you wouldn't mind if on our walk we look for this squirrel thing that Soos saw would you?" I asked.

   "Supernatural stuff? Cool!" Wendy replied. Phew.

   "Awesome! Who's going to go after a creepy Burrito Bite thieving creature? This guy!" I exclaimed pointing at myself. Wendy and Soos just looked at me. "Never mind let's go." I said blushing a bit.
