Your POV

Ever since we got the shack back from Gideon, I've been exploding with happiness. The shack has always been my home. If I could, I would even live here instead. We were at the gift shop, many people had come for the grand reopening of the Mystery Shack.

Stan: Welcome to the grand reopening of the Mystery Shack!!!

Audience: *cheer*

Stan: We're here to celebrate the defeat of that skunk, Little Gideon!

Audience: *boo the Gideon doll Stan had just taken out*

Stan: Please, please. Boo harder!!!!!

Audience: *boo louder*

Stan: But I didn't catch that porkchop all alone, these three scamps deserve some of the glory.

Mabel: *punches Stan*

Stan: Ok ok, most of the glory.

Toby: *with a cinderblock in hand* Smile for the camera!

Stan: Your camera's a cinderblock, Toby.

Toby: I just want to be a part of things...

Shandra: Smile for a real camera.

Stan: *puts his arms around you, Dipper, and Mabel*

Mabel: Everyone say something stupid!

You, Dipper, Mabel, and Stan: *while doing silly poses* Something stupid!!!

Camera Man: *takes a picture*

Stan: And don't forget to come to the after party tonight at eight!

Mabel: We're doing a karaoke bonanza, people!!! Lights, music, enchantment!!! *blows confetti* And an amazing karaoke performance by our family band: Love Patrol Alpha!!! *shows a drawing of the four of you singing*

Dipper: Uh, I dunno...

You: Um...

Stan: I never agreed to that, ever.

Mabel: Too late!!! I wrote your names on the list, it's happening!!!

Wendy: *kicks open the door and blows the airhorn* Buy a ticket, people!!! You know you don't have anything else going on in your lives!!!

Audience: *follows Wendy out*

Stan: *sigh* The town loves us, we finally got that Gideon smell out of the carpet, everything is finally going my way!

Dipper: Hey, Grunkle Stan, now that we have a moment, I've been meaning to ask you for my journal back.

Stan: Wha? Journal? *pats his pockets* Oh, haha! *takes out the journal from under the counter* You mean this old thing! It was so boring I couldn't even finish it! *gives it to Dipper*

Dipper: Wait, you're just gonna give it to me? Just like that?

Stan: What else do you want, a kiss on the cheek?

Dipper: I... I gotta go! *takes both yours and Mabel's wrist and leads both of you to your bedroom, he then locks the door, turns around Mabel's plush toys, covers the window, and turns on the lantern* Girls, we've gotta talk. Almost loosing my journal made me realize that I'm halfway through the summer and still no closer to figuring out the big mysteries of Gravity Falls. Gideon almost destroyed the town to get his hands on this journal, but why? *starts to pace around* Who wrote it? Where are all the other journals? What was Bill talking about when he said "everything was going to change"? There's something huge going on right under our noses, and it's time we stop goofing around and get to the bottom of it. 

Mabel: Bro, you've looked at that things like a bazillion times, there's nothing left to discover! Half the pages are blank, remember?

Dipper: *sigh* I just feel like I'm one puzzle piece away from discovering everything.

You: *place a hand on his shoulder for comfort* Calm down, Pine Hat. Don't break your head over this. You still got time.

Mabel: Yeah, don't worry, Dipper! Lord Mystery Ham is on the case! *picks up Waddles who has a detective hat* I play by me own rules, what what!

Dipper: *looks at Mabel* I don't know why I tell you things.

You: *snicker*

You, Dipper, and Mabel: *hear strange sounds coming from downstairs*

Dipper: Do you guys here that?

You, Dipper, and Mabel: *go to the gift shop*

Soos: Hey, Mr. Pines, what's the code word I'm suppose to yell when I see a government vehicle?

Stan: Wait, what? Government vehicle? *looks at the car Soos's was talking about, then closes the window and goes to the speaker* The Mystery Shack is now closed!!! Everybody out!!! I will not hesitate to use the hose on the elderly!!!

You: Stan, what happened?!?

Dipper: Yeah, you never shut down the gift shop!

Stan: *paces around nervously, then hears a knock on the door and opens it* Welcome to the Mystery Shack, gentleman!!! What can I get you?!? Keychains? Snow globes? *shows a dollar* These rare photos of American presidents?

Man: My name is agent Power, this is agent Trigger. We're here to investigate reports of mysterious activity in this town.

Trigger: Activity.

Stan: Mysterious activity?!? In the Mystery Shack?!? You gotta be joking!!!

Power: I assure you, I am not. I was born with a rare disorder that makes me physically incapable of experiencing humor.

Stan: *laughs awkwardly*

Power: I don't understand that sound you're making with your mouth, now if you'll excuse us we're conducting an investigation. *enters the shack*

Trigger: Investigation. *follows Power*

Dipper: Wait wait, did you guys say you're investigating the mysteries of this town?!?

Power: That information is classified. *kneels down to be face to face with Dipper* But yes. Look, between you and me, I believe there's a conspiracy of paranormal origin all connected to this town. We're just one small lead away from blowing the lid off this entire mystery.

Dipper: Are you kidding me?!? I'm investigating the exact same thing!!! I found this journal in the woods which has almost all the answers!!! If we work together, we could crack the case!!!

Power: *looks at Trigger, then back at Dipper as he takes out a business card* If you have evidence of these claims, we should talk.

Dipper: *takes the card* We can talk right now!!! Please please, come in!!! I have so much to show you!!!

Stan: Haha, I'm sorry, agents, kid has an overactive imagination, and like sweating problems.

Mabel: Haha, zing!!!

Stan: Paranormal town stuff is just part of gift shop lore! Sells more tickets, you know?

Soos: *puts stickers and a pair of headbands on the men's heads* Boop boo- doop boop boop! Swag!

Power: We have other spots to investigate, we'll be on our way.

Trigger: *takes a lot of Stan bobble heads* I'm confiscating this for evidence.

Power: Smart move.

Power and Trigger: *leave*

Dipper: Wait!!! No, wait, we have so much to talk about!!! *tries to run to reach the two men, but is stopped by Stan*

Stan: Hold it, kiddo. Trust me, the last thing you want around during a party is the cops. *takes the card from Dipper* I'm confiscating that card. Now how's about you go be a normal kid, flirt with a girl or steal a pie of a windowsill. *takes the box with the card in it and goes into the living room*

Dipper: But Grunkle Stan, you don't understand!!!

Stan: And don't go talking to those agents!

Dipper: Dipper: Ugh, that could've been my big break...

Mabel: Bro, maybe Grunkle Stan is right! We're throwing a party tonight!!! Can't you go one night without searching for aliens or raising the dead or whatever?

Dipper: I'm not gonna raise the dead, I just need a chance to show those agents my book.

You: I don't know, Pine Hat. Who knows what they'll do if they find out the truth?

Mabel: Trust me, Dipper, the only book you'll need is tonight is right here! *takes out a book titled Karaoke Songs*

You and Dipper: *look at Mabel emotionless* ...

Mabel: Ah, c'mon! I say kara-, you say -oke!!! Kara-!!! Kara-!!! Kara-!!! ...I could do this all day.

I understood Pine's intentions, but if those government guys found out about about the supernatural things here, they would take them all away for experiments, and make us all leave our homes.

As we set up the last decorations for the party, I began hearing voices from nearby.

Wendy: *laughs* Check it out, these black lights make my teeth look scary. *smiles as she turns on the black light, making it seem like her teeth are glowing* It's like a crime scene in my mouth! C'mon, you love it.

Dipper: It's not fair... Finally I meet someone who can help me solve the mysteries of this town, and Stan confiscates their card!

Wendy: Dude, I probably shouldn't be telling you this, but I'm pretty sure Stan hides everything in his room.

Dipper: *sigh* If I get into Stan's room I could get in so much trouble...

Wendy: Yeah, you're probably right. *kneels down to be face to face with Dipper and places a party hat on his hat* That's what makes it fun, dummy!

Dipper: *smiles*

DAMMIT, WENDY!

I was about to follow, but was pulled away by Mabel who needed help with something.

Dipper's POV

As I looked around (and found some disturbing stuff I wish I could erase), I found a little stash of cards, with them the card I searched for. I then dialed the number. Yes, this is it!!!

Dipper: Hi, this is Dipper, th-the kid from the Mystery Shack? The one with the um... sweating problems? I have that journal I wanted to show you!

...

Dipper: I'm a hundred percent positive!!!

Stan: *ends the call*

Dipper: *gasp startled*

Wendy: Sorry, Dipper, I got distracted.

Stan: Kid, why did you call those agents? *snatches the phone* Told you one time I've told you a hundred times, there's nothing "supernatural" going on in Gravity Falls!!! *puts the phone back in place*

Dipper: Yes, there is!!! After everything that's happened you have to know that by now!!!

Stan: All I know is that you're dumb obsession is gonna get us all in trouble one of these days!!! Now go enjoy the rest of the party, cuz when it's over, you're grounded. *slightly pushes Dipper closer to the door*

Dipper and Wendy: *leave the room*

Stan: *sighs*

I wasn't gonna let Stan stop me, not when I was this close! I sneaked out of the shack and ran into the woods, searching for the agents. Eventually, I found them. This was it!!!

Dipper: Guys, I'm so glad to see you!!! Working together we can crack all the big questions of Gravity Falls!!! Trust me, this book is the lead you've been looking for!!! *gives them the book* I'm thinking full scale investigation!!! Forensics, researchers, do you guys have a helicopter?!? *laughs* I'm sorry, helicopters!!!

Power: Kid, I'd love to believe you, but this just looks like more junk from your uncle's gift shop. I mean, lepre-corn? *shows him the page of a lepre-corn* I can't be the only one that thinks that's not funny.

Trigger: I can confirm, not funny.

Dipper: No no, it's real, I swear!!! You should "send it to the lab"!!! Am I saying that right?

Power: Your uncle was right about that overactive imagination. *gives Dipper the journal back* We've got paperwork to do, kid.

Trigger: Boring paperwork.

Power and Trigger: *start to leave*

Dipper: Wait!!!!!! This book is real!!!Gnomes, cursed objects, spells, listen!!! Corpus Levitus, Diablo Dominus, um, Mondo Vicium!!!!!

A long crack with green smoke appeared on the ground. From appeared a sight I never really thought I'd ever see.

Dipper: Ha, a zombie!!!! I real actual zombie!!! See?!? Spooky journal, 100% real!!! Now can we work together?!?

Power: Mother of all that is holy, what do we do?!?

Dipper: It's just one zombie. Trust me, I see stuff like this all the time. *gets startled by the zombie now in front of him* AHH!!!

???: *pulls him back and walk the zombie with a bat*

Dipper: (y/n)?!? What are you doing here?!?

You: I seem to be saving your sorry butt is what I'm doing!!!!! WHAT THE HECK WERE YOU THINKING?!?!?!?

Dipper: Just relax, it was only one zombie!

From behind appeared more cracks, thousands of zombies crawling out.

You: Just one, huh?!?

Dipper: U-uh...

You: We'll discuss this later!!!

Mabel's POV

The party was turning out to be a total success!!! Although I had been wondering where Dipper and (y/n) were. Oh well.

Mabel: What do you say, guys?!? When I say Mabel, you say fun!!!

Everyone: *feels the ground shaking*

Mabel: Mabel!!!!

Woman: *screams*

Mabel: Mabel!!!!

Man: We're all gonna die!!!

Mabel: Why does that never work?

Wendy: Woah, I think it's an earthquake!!!! *blows the airhorn* Hey everyone, we gotta get out of here!!!

Everyone: *starts to run away*

Candy: We are all doomed!!!!

Grenda: Quick, into my getaway pouch!!!

Candy: *jumps into Grenda's book bag*

Grenda: Mabel, escape while you still can!!! *runs off*

Mabel: Wait, no, don't leave!!! You haven't even done our family karaoke song yet!!! *watches the rest of the people leave* ...

You and Dipper: *come running*

Mabel: Dipper, what's the one thing I asked you not to do tonight?!?

Dipper: Raise the dead...

Mabel: And what did you do?!?

Dipper: Raise the dead...

You, Dipper, and Mabel: *gasp at the sight of all the zombies*

Your POV

Soos: *runs over to you and the twins* Get back, dudes, this is about to get intense!

Zombies: *crawling their way to you all*

You, Dipper, Mabel, and Soos: AHHHHH!!!!!

Soos: Sorry, one second. *takes out his phone and takes a picture* You got to admit this is pretty cool!

You: *glare at Soos* Soos!!!

Dipper: They're zombies!!!

Mabel: Don't panic!!! Maybe they're just a really ugly flash mob!!!

Zombie: *lashes at them*

You: *trying to hit as many zombies as you can, but jump back as they try to bite you making you back away with the twins*

Soos: Dudes, stay calm, I've been training for this moment my whole life. With all the horror movies I've seen, I know literally everything there id to know about how to avoid zombies.

Zombie: *bites Soos's shoulder making Soos turn into a zombie*

Zombie Soos: *turns around to face you and the twins* On second thought, I'm gonna flip the script. Can I eat your brains? Yay or nay? Seeing some yay faces over here. *walks closer to you and the twins*

You, Dipper, and Mabel: AHHH!!! *run to the side, only to be stopped by more zombies*

You: *hit some zombies*

Mabel: *hits others with the karaoke machine*

Dipper: *hits others with his shovel* Quick, the golf cart!!!

Zombies: *start eating the golf cart*

You: Ah, c'mon!!!

Zombie Soos: Oohoo, that's a bummer, good news for me though. *chuckles*

You and Dipper: SOOS!!!

Soos: Sorry, dudes, I just really want those brains. *walks to you and the twins*

Dipper: *takes a glowing light party ball decoration* Stay back!!! *hits it with the shovel making it land inside a zombie*

Zombie: *starts to glow*

You, Dipper, and Mabel: *back away completely scared*

Zombie Soos: Give it up, dudes, fighting only makes us look more rad~!

Mabel: What do we do?!? Where's Grunkle Stan?!?

Dipper: How's he suppose to help?!? He doesn't even believe in the supernatural!!!

You: Quick, inside!!!

You, Dipper, and Mabel: *run inside the shack, Dipper closing the door shut*

Dipper: We need to board up all the windows!!!

You, Dipper, and Mabel: *start barricading the door and windows, then walk to the other side of the room*

Dipper: Ok, maybe that'll hold them...

Zombie Soos: *breaks the window* Hey dudes! By the way, I taught the zombies how to get into the fuse box! Among these dudes, I'm like a genius!

~lights turn off~

Zombie Soos: Get those brains, dawg!!!

Zombies: *enter the shack*

Mabel: Dipper, isn't there something in the journal about defeating zombies?!?

Dipper: No, there's nothing in here about weaknesses!!!

Mabel: (y/n)?!?!?

You: Sorry, I've never brought the undead, I don't know what to do!!!

Dipper: This can't be happening, I wanted answers so bad I put everyone in danger!!! Now we're toast, it's all my fault, and no one can save us!!! *gets grabbed by a zombie and lifted off his feet* No, no ah!!!!

You and Mabel: *gasp*

Dipper: Girls, I'm sorry!!!!

You and Mabel: DIPPER!!!!!

Dipper: AHHH!!!!

???: *hits the zombie with a bat making it loosen his grip on Dipper who falls down, then he steps on the zombie's head* You three, attic, now!!!!!

Dipper: Grunkle Stan?!?

Stan: I said NOW!!!!

We run upstairs and close the door only for someone to try and open it from the outside. Lucky for us, it was Stan.

Stan: *coughs* Oh, wow, everything hurts. *closes the door*

Dipper: Grunkle Stan, that was amazing!!! Are you alright?!? Hehe, well at least you can't deny magic exists anymore, right...?

Stan: ...kid, I've always known.

Dipper: Wait, what are you talking about...?!?

Stan: I'm not an idiot, Dipper, of course this town is weird!!! And the one thing I know about that weirdness is that it's dangerous!!!

You, Dipper, Mabel, and Stan: *back away at the sight of the zombies breaking down the door*

Stan: I've been lying about it to try and keep you away from it!!! To try to protect you from it!!! *punches the zombie that popped its head through the window* Looks like I didn't lie well enough.

Mabel: What do we do, what do we do?!?

Dipper: Normally the journal would help us but there's nothing in there about defeating zombies!!! It's hopeless!!!

You: *gasp at the sight of some extra ink written on the page* Pine Hat, look!!!! The text!!!! It's glowing in the black light!!!

Dipper: *turns the journal around to see* What?!? *places it on the floor so you could all see as he flips the pages* All this time I thought I knew all the journal's secrets, but they're written in some sort of invisible ink!!!

Stan: *whispers to himself* Invisible ink...!!!

Dipper: This is it!!! "Zombies have a weakness! Previously thought to be invincible, their skulls can be shattered by a perfect four-part harmony!" Four-part harmony? How can we create that? I have a naturally high-pitched scream.

Stan: I can make noises with my body, sometimes intentionally.

Mabel: Guys, guys, I think you're all missing the obvious solution.

She leads us to the roof with the karaoke machine, oh no..........

Mabel: *with the mic* Hello, hello, is this thing on? Zombies and gentlemen, I am Mabel, they're Dipper, (y/n), and Stan and together we're Love Patrol Alpha!!!!

Dipper: I never agreed to that name!!!

Mabel: Hit it!!!

... yeah I'm not writing the whole song

~skip brought to you by coffeeeeeeeeee!!!!!☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️

I love coffee :3☕️❤️~

Mabel: Thank you, we'll be here all night!!!

Stan: Deal with it, zombie idiots!!! *laughs*

We go downstairs, the whole place was a massive mess which of course we had to clean, yay.

Dipper: I'm sorry about this, guys, I totally ruined everything...

Mabel: Dipper, are you kidding me?!? I got to sing karaoke with my three favorite people in the world!!! No party could ever top that!!!

Dipper: *smiles softly*

Stan: Kids, listen, this town is crazy, so you need to be careful. I don't know what I'd do with myself if you got hurt on my watch. I'll let you hold on to that spooky journal as long as you promise me you'll only use it for self-defense and not go looking for trouble.

Dipper: Ok, as long as you promise me that you don't have any other bombshell secrets about this town.

Stan: Promise.

Dipper: Promise.

You: *notice Dipper crossing his fingers making you let out a sigh*

Stan: Man, we have done a lot of zombie damage to clean up. Where's my handy man anyways?

Zombie Soos: *enters* Brains... Brains...

Stan: Holy Moses!!! *grabs a chair and is about to hit the zombie*

Dipper: Wait!!!!! There's a page in here about curing zombification! It's gonna take a lot of formaldehyde.

Mabel: Ooh, and cinnamon!

You: C'mon, Soos, let's fix you up.

Mabel: *as she pushes Soos back with a chair*

Zombie Soos: Brains..... brains.....!

Mabel: Soos, cut it out!

You: Yeah, it's annoying.

Zombie Soos: *chuckles* Sorry, dude.

Dipper: I can't believe it...!!! All this time the author's secrets were hiding in plain sight...!!! A whole new chapter of mysteries to explore...!!!

A part of me was excited, the other part was worried, but I already promised myself that I'd go to the end of the Earth for this family.

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

❤️❤️❤️
