Your POV

I was awoken by Mabel telling Dipper and me to get dressed. Apparently we were going into town for some reason. As I went into Stan's car, I felt as if I was forgetting something, but I couldn't remember no matter how hard I tried so I just shrugged it off. When we reached town...

Stan: *honks the car's horn*

Mabel: *takes two nachos from the snack bag and places them on her ears as earring* Haha, nacho earring! I'm hilarious!!!

You: Teach me your trick...!!!

You and Mabel: *laugh*

Stan: Ah, c'mon, what's with all this traffic?!? And why is it all-?!? Covered wagons?!?

That's when I noticed what I was forgetting.

You: Uh oh.

Stan: Oh no, no, no!!!!! *turns the car and tries to drive away* Not today, not today!!!! *stops the car as some women dressed in strange clothing walked by, then puts the car in reverse and drives back* (y/n) why didn't you tell me?!?

You: I forgot!!!! I knew there was something today!!!

Dipper: Guys, what's going on?!?

Stan: We gotta get out of here before it's too late!!! *stops the car and tries to go forward but stops again* They've circled the wagons, we're trapped!!! NOOOOOO!!!!!

Mabel: *looks out the window and sees a cow* I've got a good feeling about today.

You, Dipper, Mabel, and Stan: *get out of the car*

Dipper: Man, look at the town!

You: I can't believe I forgot it was Pioneer Day.

Mabel: Pio-what Day?

Stan: Pioneer Day! Every year these yahoos dress up like idiots to celebrate the day Gravity Falls was founded.

Toby: Welcome to 1863!

Stan: I will break you little man!!!

Toby: *runs away while crashing into a barrel, then continues to run*

Mabel: Wow, look!!! Candle dipping!!!

Dipper: Gold panning!!!

Man 1: I now pronounce you man and wife.

Woodpecker: *pecks on man 2's hand*

Man 2: I do!

Mabel: What you talking about?!?

Dipper: Oh yeah, I remember this. *takes out his journal and searches for a page* In Gravity Falls it used to be legal to marry woodpeckers.

Man 2: Oh it's still legal. Very legal.

Announcer: Come one and all to the opening ceremony!!!

Mabel: Grunkle Stan, you coming?!?

Stan: No thank you! Just remember: if you come back to the shack talking like these people you're dead to me.

Dipper: There's a carpetbagger in the turnip cellar!

Mabel: Well, hornswoggle my haversack!

Dipper and Mabel: *spit on the floor*

Mabel: *grabs your wrist and pulls you with her followed by Dipper*

Stan: Dead to me!!!

I didn't want to go, not if you knew who was hosting this event. We went into the crowd and stand in the middle.

Blubs: Hearyee, hearyee!!! Yee, your commencement ceremony is about to begin!!!

Durland: *rings a bell like crazy* WOOO!!!! I've got a bell!!!

Thief: *stills a purse*

Old Lady: Help, my purse!!!

Durland: *while ringing the bell* Ring ring!!! Ring ring!!!

Blubs: Heh, he sure loves his bell.

Pacifica: *taps the microphone* Howdy, everyone! You all know me, Pacifica Northwest, great-great granddaughter of town founder Nathaniel Northwest. I'm also very rich.

Audience: *clap*

You: *roll your eyes*

Pacifica: Now if you got the pioneer spirit, we ask you to come on up and introduce yourself!

Mabel: *gasp* Audience participation!!!

Dipper: I don't know Mabel, isn't that girl kind of like your arch enemy?

Mabel: That's water under the bridge! *goes to the stage*

You: ...

Pacifica: Our first newcomer is-! ...Mabel.

Mabel: Yeah!!! Let's get this Pioneer Day started!!! *blows raspberries* Right guys?!? USA!!! USA!!!

Audience: USA!!! USA!!!

Guy: *crying* USA!!! *wipes his tears away* USA!!!

Pacifica: I'm sorry to break it to you, but Pioneer Day is for serious people, and you look and act ridiculous. *looks at Mabel's sweater* I mean, a puppy playing basketball? Are you always this silly?

Mabel: *hides the design of her sweater embarrassedly* Hey, I can be serious! *tries to be serious*

Pacifica: You do have nachos hanging from your ears, hun.

Mabel: *holds the nachos as she turns red from embarrassment*

You: *growl and try to go to Pacifica but Dipper stops you*

Pacifica: Wow, I'm embarrassed for you. Give her a hand everybody!!!

Audience: *claps*

Mabel: *sadly goes away*

You and Dipper: *follow Mabel*

Dipper: Hey, you ok?

Mabel: I need some old timey butterscotch...

You: Let's get out if here.

We sit down in front of the Nathaniel Northwest statue and Mabel ate butterscotch.

Mabel: Guys, can I ask you something? Do you think I'm... silly?

Dipper: Uh, no......?

Mabel: *started wide eyed at Dipper, then you* (y/n)?!?

You: I think of you as fun, and adorable.

Mabel: That's another way to say I'm silly! I knew it! The nacho earrings, the sweater, all this time I thought I was being charming, but I guess people see me as a joke. *throws away her nacho earrings, then takes off her sweater and wraps it around her waste*

Dipper: C'mon Mabel, you love that sweater!

Mabel: I did until Pacifica ruined it for me...

You: Mabel, you can't let Pacifica get to you. The more you let it get to you, the more she's gonna bother you.

Mabel: Yeah well, easier said than done... Uhg, she ruins everything!!!

Dipper: Pacifica. Why does she think that being related to the town founder means she can treat people like garbage?!?

You: That's just how some people are Dip.

Dipper: Yeah well, someone needs to take her down a peg. *gasp* Wait a minute. *takes out his book and passes pages* I feel like I read something about Pacifica's great great grandfather before! Of course!!! This is perfect! *with a strange voice* "In my investigations-" should- should I do the voice?

You and Mabel: *shake your heads*

Dipper: Meh, I'll just read it normal. "In my investigations I recently made a discovery. Nathaniel Northwest may not be the founder of Gravity Falls! I believe the proof of this secret is buried somewhere in the enclosed document. *takes out the document and opens it* If only I could crack the code... *looks at the document*

You: Woah... If this coverup is true, it means Pacifica's whole family's a fraud!!!

Dipper: This could be a major conspiracy!!!

Mabel: Really?!?

Dipper: *looks at you and stands up* We gotta investigate this!

You: *nod as you stand up*

Mabel: *stands up* Wait. I'm coming with you. Conspiracies are serious right?

Dipper: Oh, yeah, definitely.

Mabel: Well, if I help you crack this code nobody can ever call me silly again!

Dipper: Yeah!!! Mystery Trio? *offers a first bump*

You: I thought you hated that name.

Dipper: I'm starting to accept it.

You, Dipper, and Mabel: *fist bump*

We went to the town library. McGucket was reading to some kids, and then he started eating the book.

Dipper: All right girls, if we can prove that Nathaniel Northwest wasn't the real founder of Gravity Falls, it'll finally put Pacifica in her place.

Mabel: And solving the mystery will prove that I'm not silly. *looking at the open nook in her hands* I'm serious. *lowers her head to eat the butterscotches on the table* Serious.

Dipper: We just need to crack this code. Let me see... *turns on a projector that shows symbols* It's not Egyptian. *changes* It's not numerology. *changes* It's not- wait, of course!!! The triangle is the alchemist symbol for flame! Lighting the parchment on fire will reveal the secret message!

Mabel: It's so obvious!

Dipper: *takes a candle*

You: Wait, are you sure about this?

Dipper: Not completely, but there's one way to find out! Mabel!

Mabel: *with the map on her head as a hat* Muap! I just made a hat! Uhg, I just did something silly again! *blows raspberries*

You: Wait, Mabel, you folded it into a map!

Dipper: And I was gonna burn it.

Blubs: *from the library door* We're on the lookout for three kids who might be reading.

Durland: *next to Blubs* We're hunting'm down for secret reasons!!! *rings his bell*

You, Dipper, and Mabel: *hide under the table*

Durland: *throws some books down*

Blubs and Durland: *go to another shelf*

You: Maybe we should take this elsewhere.

Mabel: *takes off the map* This map should lead us to...

Outside our destination...

Mabel: The Gravity Falls Museum of History!

Dipper: You realize what this means girls, we're gonna have to break in.

We went to the door to be greeted by a nice woman who gave Dipper a blue balloon, Mabel a pink balloon, and me a white balloon.

Dipper: We're in.

Mabel: *looking around* What are we gonna do next? Steal Thomas Jefferson's rib cage?

You: Ew...!!!

Dipper: No, according to the map the next clue about the real town founder should be right... *looks at a weird triangle on the wall* Here.

You: That's it?

Dipper: I think so. We have to figure this one out quick, I have a feeling those cops weren't at the library to check out books.

Mabel: I don't think the one with the bell can read.

You: So what is it anyways?

You, Dipper, and Mabel: *stare at the piece of art*

Mabel: *sits on the bench and tilts herself to the side* Hey painting, be less stupid! *turns upside down and gasps* It worked!

Dipper: Huh?

You and Dipper: *sit in the bench and tilt upside down and see a painting of an angel pointing to somewhere*

Dipper: Wait! It's not abstract, it's upside down!

You: I've seen that statue at the cemetery!

Dipper: Let's go, quick!

You, Dipper, and Mabel: *stand up, then hold your heads in pain*

We run past the policemen and go to the cemetery. I lead the twins to the statue.

Dipper: Hm... The statue must be pointing at the next clue.

You: Mabel, what are you-?!?

Mabel: *with the statue's finger inside Mabel's nose* Ah gross, she's picking my nose!!! *laughs before pulling up the tip of the statue's finger* Ah!

A door opens on the floor.

Dipper: Girls, look!

Mabel: Who's silly now Pacifica? *tries to jump down but stops when her nose gets stuck in the statue's finger, she then takes it out and jumps off*

You, Dipper, and Mabel: *go down the stairs of the opened vault*

Mabel: Now we're getting into real conspiracy mode! *eats another butterscotch*

Dipper: Ok, watch out for booby traps.

Mabel: Hehe, booby traps. *steps on a platform*

A dart lands beside Mabel. Many darts started to fly towards us. We ran past all of them (somehow) and ended up falling down a hole and into a strange room.

You: Woah...!!! What is this place...?!?

Mabel: *picks up some papers* It's a treasure trove of historic-y secret-y things! *switches papers* Oh man, Ben Franklin secretly was a woman! 

Dipper: Hey, jackpot! *points at a file holder with the words "Top Secret" in red*

You: Now we'll find out who the real town founder was!

Dipper: "Let it be here recorded Nathaniel Northwest, fable founder of Gravity Falls, was in fact a fraud!!! As well as a... waste shoveling village idiot?" *laughs* Oh, bad news for Pacifica.

You: Wait 'till the papers hear about this!

Mabel: Once people see that I uncovered a historical conspiracy they could never call me silly!!!

Dipper: "The true founder of Gravity Falls was Sir Lord. Quentin Trembley III, ESQ"

Mabel: Who's Quentin Trembley?

Blubs: That's not of your business!!!

You, Dipper, and Mabel: *gasp*

Durland: *rings his bell* WOOO!!! We caught ya!!!! WOOO!!! Heh, woohoo...!!! *faints*

Blubs: He got hit with quite a few of those darts.

After Deputy Durland woke up...

Blubs: *holding the file* I hate to do this but Quentin Trembley's a matter of national security.

Durland: Yeah!!! Yeah- woo- I think I might be colorblind now...!

You: What do you mean national security?!?

Mabel: And who is Quentin Trembley anyways?!?

Blubs: See for yourself. *takes out an old video tape and places it on an old projector*

Mabel: Aww, black and white?

Dipper: Shh, Mabel!

Man: *from the video* If you're watching this, you're one of the few people in these United States with clearance to view this information. In fact, I myself will be shot as soon as the filming is complete. Wha- Huh?!? Well, that's a relief. Of all of America's secrets, the most embarrassing was that of Quentin Trembley, the eighth and a half president of the United States.

You, Dipper, and Mabel: President?!?

Mabel: Eight and a half?!?

Man: After winning the 1847 election in a landslide, Quentin Trembley quickly gained a reputation as America's silliest president. He waged war on pancakes, appointed six babies to the supreme court, and issued the De-Pants-cipation Proclamation. His State of the Union speech was even worse.

Trembley: *from the video* The only thing we have to fear is gigantic man eating spiders!!!

You: *tense up and whisper to yourself* ...I agree.

Man: He was kicked out of office and escaped to an uncharted valley he named Gravity Falls after plummeting into it at high speed. Trembey's shameful term was erased from history, and officially replaced by William Henry Harrison as president and local nobody Nathaniel Northwest as founder of Gravity Falls. The whereabouts of president Trembley's body are unknown.

Blubs: *turns off the video* Until now. *points behind you*

We turn around to see a human figure frozen inside a golden, sappy looking block.

Dipper: Woah...!!! Is that like amber or something?

Blubs: Fool thought he could live forever by encasing himself in a block of solid peanut brittle! Smooth move Mr. President. Finding Trembley's body was our special mission and now thanks to you it's complete.

Durland: Who knew all we had to do was follow a little girl's trail of candy wrappers.

Mabel: *sigh* Silly...

Blubs: Now that you know the truth, well, we can't let you go around talking about it.

Dipper: *pulls you and Mabel behind him* Does that mean-?!?

Mabel: Are you gonna kill us?!?

Durland: Oh no!!!!

Blubs: Now now, calm d- calm down now buddy, calm down! We're just gonna escort you and all this stuff back to Washington. You ain't coming back.

We tried to struggle, but they were too strong. They dragged us into a train and locked us up in a crate. Anxiety got the best of me, Gravity Falls was the only place I had a home and they were taking me away?!? I started pacing around the room, panicking.

You, Dipper, and Mabel: *punch the crate and call for help*

Mabel: *sits down* I can't believe I left a trail of candy wrappers. This is all my fault. Pacifica had me pegged all along.

You: Mabel, Pacifica doesn't know what she's talking about!

Mabel: Yes, she does! I'm just a silly failure like that embarrassing president what's-his-name... *rips out a piece of the peanut brittle, breaking the whole block*

You, Dipper, and Mabel: *back away* AHHH!!!

Trembley: It is I, Quentin Trembley!!! *rips off his pants*

Dipper: You're alive!!!

You: But how?!?

Mabel: Peanut brittle really does have life sustaining properties!!! You're not silly, you're brilliant!!!

Trembley: And so are you, dear girl, for following my clues and freeing me from my delicious tomb!

Dipper: He's right! Making maps into hats, hanging upside down, your silliness solved the code that serious cops couldn't cracked in an hundred years!

You: Yeah!

Mabel: Oh stop it.

Trembley: By Jefferson!!! We seem to be trapped in some sort of crate-shaped box!

You: It's a crate.

Trembley: Good thing I have the President's Key, which can open any lock in America! *goes in front of the wall and starts to poke it with the key*

Dipper: I... don't think that's gonna work.

Trembley: Wood!!! My age old enemy. In order to get out of here this is going to take the silliest plan ever conceived!

Dipper: I think I know who can help!

Mabel: Hm, how about... *looks around* that hole!!!

Trembley: We will leap through it!!!

Mabel and Trembley: *try to go through the tiny hole*

Trembley: Almost, almost...!!!

You: You know, there's a fine line between silliness and stupidity. This is just plain stupid.

Dipper: I sadly agree.

Mabel: Trust the silliness!!!

You, Dipper, Mabel, and Trembley: *hear a pecking sound*

Trembley: Is that my third wife, Sandy?

The box breaks as a woodpecker flies off. We try to go out the door but the policemen see us and start to follow, so we go through the roof door. We ran across the roof as they followed behind until we had nowhere else to run.

Blubs: There is *pants* no *pants* escape! *falls to his knee still panting* I gotta take a knee...

Durland: Are you ok? Can I get you anything?

Blubs: Edwin Durland, you are a diamond in the rough.

Dipper: Sheriff Blubs, do you really want to lock us up in a government facility somewhere?!?

Blubs: I've got no choice! All orders come from the very top!!!

Dipper: Wait!!! Quentin, did you ever sign an official resignation?!?

Trembley: No sir, I ate a salamander and jumped out the window!!!

Dipper: Then technically, you're still legally the president of the United States, right?!? You gotta answer to this guy now!!!

Blubs and Durland: Huh?!?

Trembley: As president of these several United States, I hereby order you to pretend none of this ever happened and go on a delightful vacation! *gets hit by a sign* Ow!!! Yes!!!

Blubs: Vacation? What place have you always wanted to visit? One, two-

Blubs and Durland: City Water Fun Slide in Great Lakes, Michigan!

They went on their vacation, relief filled my shoulders.

Trembley: *kneels to be eye level with Mabel* You've done a great service to your country Mabel. As thanks, I'd like to make you an official US congressman! *places a top hat on Mabel*

Mabel: I'm legalizing everything!!!

Dipper: ...

You: Oh dear...

Trembley: And (y/n), Roderick,-

Dipper: Uh actually-

Trembley: You, dear children, are on your ways to unlocking the mysteries of this great land, so I'd like you to have *pulls out a key and gives it to Dipper*  my President's Key.

Dipper's POV

And so we go back to town. On the way...

Trembley: -and then he chased me around and spanked me with a paddle for like three hours. Bottom line: George Washington was a jerk.

Mabel: Agreed!

You, Dipper, and Mabel: *walk over to Pacifica*

Mabel: Hey Pacifica, I discovered a government conspiracy about the eighth and a half present of the United States!!! Who's silly now?

Pacifica: What? Who is that idiot?

Trembley: *running after birds* Put up your dews, you bald fees!!!

Mabel: The eighth and a half president of America! I know what you're thinking: how is he still alive? Well, turns out you can hibernate in peanut brittle-

Pacifica: *laughs* Wow, you really are a sad, dumb little girl! Nice top hat, by the way! I see why you decided to hang out with people like (y/n).

You: !!!!

Pacifica: Oh, I see your car's stuck in the mud! Enjoy walking home! *gets in her car with her parents, then they drive off*

Dipper: Aren't you gonna tell her about her eat-gray ampa-gray?

Mabel: You know what Dipper? I've got nothing to prove. *puts on her sweater* I've learned that being silly is awesome.

I see (y/n) starring off at Pacifica's car. She had a mix of anger and sadness, I could tell she wanted revenge on Pacifica more than anyone in this world.

Dipper: Well I haven't learned anything!!! *whistles* Hey Pacifica!!! *runs after the car as it stops, then he shows her the file* Nathaniel Northwest didn't found Gravity Falls and your whole family's a sham, deal with it. *gives Pacifica the file as the car leaves*

Pacifica: WHAT?!? MOM!!!

Dipper: Man, revenge is underrated, that felt good!

You: *laugh* I'm sure it did!!! *smile at Dipper*

Dipper: *smiles at you*

Trembley: Children, I am needed elsewhere. Just know that I'll always be right here! *points at Dipper before giving him a dollar* On the negative twelve dollar bill!!!

Dipper: Woah...!!! This is worthless!!!

Trembley: It's less than worthless, my boy! Trembley away!!!! *jumps back unto a horse, then leaves*

Mabel: Where do you think he's going?

You: I'm gonna say off a cliff.

Your POV

Once we got Stan who apparently had a terrible day, we go home. It was dark and we were about to go to sleep when...

Mabel: Hey (y/n)?

You: Hm?

Mabel: Dipper and I have been wondering what's your backstory with Pacifica?

Dipper: Mabel!!!

You: What do you mean?

Dipper: Well, it's obvious that this isn't the first time you and Pacifica have talked.

Mabel: You seem to hate her more than anyone can hate a Northwest!!!

You: ...

Dipper: If you don't want to talk about it, then-

You: *stand up and get your journal, then go to the last pages, showing a picture of young you and Pacifica smiling, then you give it to the twins to see* Well, just a year ago, Pacifica and I were the best of friends. Always together, barely seen apart.

Mabel: What?!?

You: Believe or not, she was nice. Or at least I thought to. *sit on your bed*

Dipper: What happened?

You: There was a talent show at school. A lot of people wanted me to participate for my singing-

Mabel: You can sing-?!?

You: Not the point! Anyways, I was wearing a white dress, and when I stepped on the stage Pacifica and her new besties had soaked me in punch. Before I knew it I was called Bloody Mary.

Mabel: Oh, (y/n). *sits next to you*

You: It's fine, I've learned to ignore her, but then when she started teasing you- I just didn't want you to be the next victim.

Dipper: *sits next to you* We're really sorry.

You: Well, I have two awesome new friends. She lost her chance.

Dipper and Mabel: *hug you*

You: *hug them back*

Thanks for reading!!! 'Till next time!!!
