My lungs burn. I can't breath and when I try to move it hurts my muscles. What happened? Am I really a cluts? Crazy and unaware Avery?

I flutter my eyes open but groan in pain when my sight meets the sun. It's all like: Hello brown eyes now meet your death from the sun.

I cough and flutter my eyes again. My lung burn and my throat feels numb and my mouth tastes like saltwater. "She's waking up." A voice says calmly. I sit up but moan from the pain in my back.

"Hi." A voice exclaims. "Are. You. Alright?" The voice says slowly. "Huh?" I ask looking up at the face that's doubled in my vision. "What where am I?" I looking around. "Whyyou'reinGravityFalls. Enjoythesceneryandyourstay." The female voice says fast. "Um." I say getting more balance and sitting up. "Are you alright?" A voice asks me. It's male but it cracks when it talks. "Um yeah I guess so." I groan. "Good. Now who are you?" The boy asks. "I'm Avery. Avery Richer." I say. The boy looks at the female. "Where are you from?" The female voice asks me. "Pasadena, California." The two look at each other like I'm crazy.

The boy rubs the bridge of his nose. "May I ask where I am right now?" I speak. "Your in Gravity Falls, Oregon." The female says happily. "Oh no. No, no, no, no." I say craddling my head with my hands. Gravity Falls? Gravity Falls Oregon? I can't possibly be here. Nope it's just a dream. "Can one of you people pinch me?" The boy looks at the female and shrugs.

"Um I guess." He says. "Ow!" I scream a the boy pinches me. I open my eyes. I'm not in my room nor a hospital. Nothing changed. What? "Okay what's seriously going on here?" I ask confused. "I don't know what your talking about." The female says. I stand up and dust my skirt off.

The two look at me with worried looks. And it's then, and only then I realize who they are. The pine tree hat and the crazy sweaters. Of course Mabel and Dipper. Wait what? Mabel and Dipper. "Who are you?" I ask squinting. "I'm Dipper. Dipper Pines." The boy says pointing at his chest with a finger. "And I'm Mabel, Mabel Pines. He's my weak twin while I'm the alpha!" The girl shouts the last part.

"Mabel and Dipper?" Oh dear god. I must have really hit my head hard and this medication is kicking in like crazy. "Um can we get you anything like a glass of water?" Dipper asks. "Sure." I say following them. What is going on? Is this all because of Bill? Why am I in Gravity Falls? Why did they help me? What? Just what is going in here? I'm confused and I need my answers.

I sip from my glass of water. Dipper looks through his journal while Mabel draws pictures on the window with her finger. Did I mention it is freezing here? "Okay so are you visiting here or what are you doing? Because I have never seen you here." Dipper says pointing his finger at me. "Um visiting I guess." I shrug my shoulders. I honestly don't remember how i got to Gravity Falls and why I'm in Gravity Falls. I think all I remember is hitting my head hard and then seeing Bill Cipher.

"It's here! He's here! They're here!" An elderly lady runs into the diner screaming non-sense about some yellow flying Dorito thing. I look over at Dipper with a raised eyebrow. "Dont worry things like this always happen. Its probably just Old Man Mc. G being weird again." He says smiling. I smile back and sip from my glass. But something catches my eye. A yellow triangle hovers above the bushes by the golf cart and winks at me.

I smile and wave. The triangle disappears and leaves behind a cloud if blue smoke. Poison probably. I sink down into the booth and heave a sigh. "Hey are you a alright?" Dipper asks me. I look up at his face and look back out the window. The cloud of blue smoke/poison is no-longer there. "Yeah. I'm fine." I say sitting back up. "Just checking." He goes back to looking through his book. Mabel is distracted by a teen boy that came into the diner and is sitting at the booth behind her. I look around. The lady who caused a commotion earlier is no-longer in the diner but the door is wide open and a wood pecker just flew through.

I lean back into the booth and the my hair back into a high pony and sigh. A waitress comes back with another glass of water and our bill I'm guessing. "I can help pay if it's to expensive." I suggest. I dig through my wallet from money but come up empty handed. What? Where's my money? "Never mind I can't." I say putting my purse away. "Sorry Dip." He shrugs his shoulders like it's nothing and smiles. "No it's cool." I smile and finish my last glass of water.

★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆

I rest my tired self, on the yellow chair that stands in front of the TV leaving only an inch of space behind it. Dipper paces around the room while Mabel and I play with Waddles. "How can she possibly be here? There's no rip in the time space is there? No absolutely not! If there was there would be some warning with like Zombi's or something." Dipper mumbles. I look up at Mabel. "He mumbles about random things all the time. Nothing ti worry about." She smiles and scratches Waddles behind his ear. Waddles collapses on the floor. "Huh, I never knew pigs liked being scratch behind their ears. It bought that was only for dogs and cats." I say. Mabel shrugs. "I guess it's for every animal too." I laugh softly. "I guess so."

"Any of you kids seen my- whose this?" Grunkle Stan asks as he walks into the room and stops talking when he sees apparently an unexpected visitor. Me. "Oh, Grunkle Stan meet Avery. Avery meet-" I put my hand up to Dipper. "Yes I know who he is, I've watched the show millions of times." I response. Grunkle Stan raises an eyebrow. "Anyways, you kids have to work a late shift tonight." He says sipping from a pitt cola. I've always wondered how those taste. Like peaches? Oranges? Cherries? Blueberries? See I would know these things if they existed.

"What? Why?" Mabel whines. "Because Wendy went home sick." Stan responds. Dipper stops pacing around and basically runs over to Stan almost tripping over Mabel and I. "What? Is she okay? The hospital isn't involved right?!" Dipper frantically asks. "Whoa, whoa, kid calm down." Stan waves his hand up and down to get Dipper to stop jumping like a seven year-old on a sugar rush. "Sorry Grunkle Stan, but seriously what's wrong with Wendy?"

Grunkle Stan rubs the back of his neck and looks at Dipper in the eye, very furius too. "Oh you know, some stomach flu." Dipper starts jumping up again and speaking loudly. "What?What? GrunkleStan! Wendyisnot,okay. Shemayhavesomeseriousflippingvirous, WHICHISNOTHINGTOJOKEABOUT!" Stan gives Mabel and I a look. "Even I didn't understand that." I say laughing along with Mabel. "Guys, my future Girlfriend could be dying and your laughing about it? What's wrong with you?" Dipper asks us folding his arms across his chest.

Mabel keeps laughing but then stops from shortness of breath. "Look, brosphe, it was probably Wendy just saying she was tired or had plans and didn't want to work. Shes probably not sick so stop freaking out." Dipper looks at Mabel and then stops acting all...weird. "Sorry, I let my crush get to the best of me."

Grunkle Stan taps the back of Dipper's shoulder while still holding his Pitt Cola in the other hand. Dipper turns around alarmed and looks at Stan. By the look on Stan's face, it can't mean anything good. "Um Dipper, were going to have a talk in my office later about this Wendy thing. Okay?" Dipper's eyes go large. "Um yes, okay Grunkle Stan."

Mabel starts laughing at Dipper again but I stay out of it. "Good. And get Avery here to do something to help you guys out in the gift shop." Grunkle Stan walks off. "Got it." Mabel stands up and dusts off her skirt. Dipper bends down and reaches for my hand. He pull me off the floor and back to my feet. "Let's get started in the gift shop. You can work beside me at the register while Mabel dusts the place." I smile. "I have always wanted to work at the Mystery Shack." I respond.

[girl with wifi]

"I can't believe Grunkle Stan is making us work a late shift. He never does this." Mabel complains while she sprays a window with Windex. Dipper sighs as he opens the register again and stares at the money.

"I know, I mean we have a quest why would he make us work?" Dipper asks counting the days change. "Yeah, I mean it doesn't make any sense. I'm sure Avery here doesn't even want to work with us." Dipper responds. "No it's cool, I've always wanted to have a job at the Mystery Shack or work beside one of the Pines twins." I respond handing Dipper a stack of counted five dollar bills. "How many?" He asks looking at the stack in my hand. "Forty-five." I respond. Dipper smiles and places them in the register.

"Really? I mean the shack is lame. Why would you want to work here with us?" Mabel asks me. I look around, nervous. I can feel my heart beat speed up, and my palms get sweaty. What would they do if I told them they were from a cartoon show?

I sigh. "Well I've just always wanted to see what the MysteryShack would be like, and how awesome it would be to work at the shack beside you two. Too me it's like a dream come true." I respond. Mabel wipes the sweat from her forehead and sets her broom down. "I'm gonna go get me a Pitt, you guys want some?" Dipper and I both shout yes. Wow I can't believe I'll finally get to try a Pitt Cola!

Dipper kicks my foot and looks away from my face. "What?" I ask him. He turns his head around at me. "There's something I want to show you. I have kept it a secret for a long time but I fee like you're the only person I can share it with." I smile at him. "Okay, when?" I ask. "Tonight at midnight. Meet me on the roof." "Okay." He continues to smile at me and at one point his cheeks turned tomato red. I smile back at him and I can feel my cheeks getting hot as well.

The door busts open interrupting the awkward silence that grew between us. "Here you go!" Mabel exclaims. "Dipper takes our drinks and hands me mine. I raise an eyebrow at him. "Um Mabel why are you all hyper?" I ask. "Oh no she's gotten into the smile dip again!" He shouts. "Relax you two, I just got off the phone with Candy and Grenda and apparently they are sleeping over." she throws her hands up in the air.

Dipper and I share a look. "It's fine I know a secret room in the shack we can share." I smile and then look back at Mabel. "When Mabes?" Dipper asks. "Tonight!" She basically shouts. "Okay, I'll make sure to warn Grunkle Stan." Dipper walks out of the gift shop and into the "Staff" only room.

★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆

I look at my watch as I walk into the gift shop. I don't know what Dipper wants to show me, but by the way his voice sounded it must be important.

I bend down to tie the laces of my purple converse that go up to my ankles. I climb up the ladder that leads to the roof. I push open the door and pull myself up on the roof. A wind breezes past me. I hug my jacket close to my chest and continue to walk on the roof.

I hear a voice come from the other side of the roof an follow it. The wind keeps blowing in my face I have to use my free arm to see my sight. "Oh there you are." A voice says to me when I reach my destination. "Yep." I respond. I see Dipper standing in front of me. He's holding a metal briefcase and the third journal is hidden inside his navy blue jacket that matches his vest her normally wears.

"Okay so follow me." "Oka-" My words are cut off by him grabbing my hand and leading us to a spot on the roof that is flat and gives you a perfect view if the moon and waterfall. The water glistens as the moonlight shines on it. He let's go of my hand and pull out the journal. "Dipper why am I-" My words are cut off again by a bright shinning light. It forms the shape of a triangle and forms an eye and top hat. Bill! "Dipper what are you doing!" I shout. He doesn't answer.

★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆

"Ooh, Ooh Dipper I knew you would come. And Avery who knew I would find you here!" Bill exclaims as he hovers in front of Dipper and I. The heck is he up too? "Yeah, yeah. I brought the case now the deal." He sets the metal brief case down. Bill looks at it and shudders. "That's not the case! I must have the one hidden in the bunker to do what I must!" Bill's blind eye catches on fire as he screams and curses like non-sense. "Look, thats the only brief case I could find. I'm sorry but your going to have to make do with this one." Dippe shouts over Bill's yelling.

Bill stops. "No, find me the other case and then we'll see more into the deal." Dipper crosses his arms over his chest. "Fine. Where is the other one then?" he asks. "Under the Mystery Shack in you uncle's lab." Bill responds. "Fine. I'll have it by thursday." Bill groans. "Fine." he disappears.

The light that once blinded my sight is gone and taken by the moonlight. The moon casts a shadow on Dipper's face. "What the heck are you up to?" I ask him. What if the rumors are true? That Dipper really is working for Bill. No those people would never be right, but it's a possibility.

"Look Avery, I-" He says but I cut him off. "What ever your doing you need to stop! Your going to cause destruction all over the world! It will be no more Mabel Pines, Wendy Corduroy, Dipper Pines or anyone. No one will be alive because your helping that demon!" I shout.

"Avery I'm sorry." That's all he says. "Okay, but please when we get the time, tell me what this is about. Please." I say pointing at the case that lies at my feet. "Okay." He nods. "Let's go. I think I hear Stan." He picks up the case and slides it into his jacket. He picks me up bride style and climbs down the ladder and back into the gift shop. "You know, you're hard to stay mad at." I say playfully.

By the way, I got the idea for this scene by watching the season 2 trailer. Lot's of theories have been realeased. I think we are totally screwed if Dipper is working for Bill. >.<

I sit in the waiting room if the sherif's office while I wait with Avery's parents fir news on their daughter. So here's what happened: Avery and I were just talking and hanging out when "he" showed up and ruined everything.

After I told Avery to run, I didn't see her come back. Her friends told me she knocked them down and then she apologized and continued running fast. After Bill left, I went with her friends to find her. We couldn't find her anywhere. In the end we ended up giving up hope. While my mom pulled into the mall parking lot, I spotted blood on the concrete.

My body shook, and I think all the color left my face. This can't be her's, it can't be. I kept telling myself. I explained to my mother what happened and about the blood. She made me call Avery's parents and tell them everything so I did, and thats why I'm sitting in this waiting room, roasting, and my throat killing me something awful.

"We want you to understand we are doing everything we can Mrs. Richer. We will call you when we get more news on Avery." I hear the sherif tell Avery's parents behind the closed door. "Thank you for your time." Her father says.

The door opens with a crying Mrs. Richer and Mr. Richer holding his wife's hand while tears are forming in his eyes. "Well?" I ask standing up to meet them. "They are doing everything they can." Her father tells me. "Not that. About the blood. What did they notice?" I ask. "It's Avery's." Her mother chokes out. Oh. My. God. It's everything I feared. I thought it wasn't her's I didn't want it to be her's. What will I do if she's gone forever? I dont want her to leave me.

[girl with wifi]

I hear Avery mumble something under her breath as she rolls over in her side. I look at her. She must be freezing on the floor with only one blanket. The carpet must be itchy and irritating to her. I wish we had another bed.

I look up at the ceiling unable to sleep again. What if Avery does figure out my secret? What will she think of me? And most importantly what will the others think about me? I'm starting to rethink this whole deal. I dont want to do this fir Bill anymore. I made a deal with the devil and it was stupid and now it's going to kill me.

I can already picture the tears on Mabel's and Wendy's faces as I start to tell them what I'm up too. They'll hate me for sure!

Why did you pick me Bill? Am I the strongest there is? What's all this for? Please answer me.

[girl with wifi]

Only one thought is going through my head as I lay on this scratachy floor while Dipper gets the couch. What if Dipper really is up to something with Bill. Is it bad or good? Is there a way to stop him? I mean if he is working for Bill and its something evil, then we are all screwed. I can only think of one thing: I need to get that brief case. Whatever is in it will help prove my theory or questions wrong or right.

"Dipper." I whisper. No response. "Dipper." I whisper a little bit louder. He still doesn't respond. I poke him in the side. He doesn't moan or say anything, not even a flinch. I guess I'll have to figure this out myself and shut down Bill's buffet of evil. I roll out of the wool blanket and crawl across the wood floor over to the door.

When I'm sure I'm through I stand up and tip toe down the hall, careful not to wake Mabel, Grenda, Candy, Stan, or Dipper. I keep walking until I make it to the gift shop, surprisingly the door is left unlocked and untouched. I carefully open the door and walk inside. Alright there is only one way for me to solve this mystery. I need to get into the lab under ground the Mystery Shack.

★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆

I wrap my jacket around me as I climb up the ladder that leads to the roof. I didn't see Dipper bring the suitcase back down with him.

A gust of wind blows in my face as I open the door leading to the roof. Why is it so windy? I put my arm up to my forehead and squint so I can see through the wind. With all the strength I have, I try my best to stand up on the roof using only one hand [trust me. It's not easy].

Using the moonlight I guide myself over to where Bill hovered before Dipper and I. The only evidence of us ever being here, are a bunch of empty Pitt Cola soda cans [which taste like peaches to let you know]. I run over to edge and look below. I see nothing that looks like the case Dipper had before. Maybe he slipped it under his jacket before he picked me up bride style and is still in the shack hidden somewhere.

I sigh and stand back up. Knowing I'm going to need a better plan on getting that case I walk over to the ladder and climb down. How am I going to get that darn case? It's pretty obvious Dipper has it tucked somewhere that only he knows about, or he could have the darn thing on him at all times. But if that was the case, then he would always be wearing that jacket he wore tonight.

I set my got on the last step and hop down. I turn my head to only be facing... Dipper. I swallow hard. Crap I never thought this through about if I got caught. God why didn't I ever do the PROS and CONS?

I turn my body all the way around and swallow again. I stare at him. His eyes give me the idea that he's been up all night. His hair is stuck to one side of his face. What do I do? What do I say that won't make it too obvisous that I'm trying to hide something? Come on brain help me out!

"Avery?" He asks me. "Um yeahhh?" I say slowly. "What are you doing?" I can feel my palms get sweaty and my throat clench up. I can already imagine my lungs saying, "come on throat open up again. We die without air." God stupid lungs, they're going to make me do something I don't want to do.

"Wellll?" Dipper asks. Clearly he wants to keep the conversation rolling. "Um..." I hold my wrists as I try to search through my mind for words to reply with. "What were you doing on the roof? Let me ask that if it's a little more easier to answer." I swallow and take a deep breath.

"I was on the roof because, Stan wanted me to check and see if there was anyone up there." Dipper squints his eyes and gives me a face saying 'come on Avery tell me the truth.' Dang that lie was a really bad one. "Because Stan wanted me to make sure the roof was clean because he wants Soos to put some playground thingy on the roof for kids." Dipper looks at me and then nods. So I have convinced him.

Give me an 'A'
Give me a 'V'
Give me an E
Give me an 'R, Y'
Gooooo Avery!!!

"A playground on the roof for kids?" Dipper rubs his chin and looks at me. I try my best to look away. Those brown eyes of his are going to lure me in his trap. "Doesn't really sound like a safe idea." I laugh. "Oh you know Stan. He doesn't care, as long as it gives him cash." I respond. "Right." He laughs along with me. "Rightt." I say slowly, the two T's hanging. "I was just going to get a glass of water. Want me to get you one?" I rub my throat. "Water actually does sound like a good idea. Yes please." I respond.

★ ☆★ ☆★ ☆

"If you were getting a glass of water, why were you in the gift shop?" I ask Dipper as we sit knee-knee, almost elbow-elbow on the couch in the secret room. "I heard a noise as I was on my way to the kitchen. I saw the gift shop door was standing wide open so I walked in to see what was going on." I face palm myself. Stupid door. I could have closed it after I was through.

I sip from my glass. Oh cold water feels good on my throat right now. "Hmm." I reply. "It's getting late, we should probably try to go back to sleep." He says setting my empty glass down on the window seal. "What about the case?" I blurt out. I place my hand over my mouth. Stupid, stupid, brain.

Dipper laughs and dunks his hand [like he's dunking a basketball] and acts like it's a joke. "That thing?" He asks. "I'll tell you about it tomorrow during break." He responds. No not tomorrow, I need to know now! I want to blurt out but I don't because then he would be on my tail and never leave me alone. "Okay." I say and settle back down into my spot on the floor.

My feet hang out over the edge of the blanket. I'm not done yet. My body may be tired, but my mind is fully awake and ready for action to take place.

[girl with wifi]

My thoughts are interrupted from the loud yelling coming from the gift shop. What? "Psst, Dipper." I whisper. "Dipper." I say a little louder. "What?" He moans. "Did you hear that?" I ask him. "Hear what?" He asks. "Someone. Screaming. In the gift shop." I reply. "No! Noooooo!" As if on cue the thing that screamed before screams again. "That." I tell Dipper. He sits up and rubs his eyes. He looks out the window.

We both look out the window and see the sun rising. "Come on." Dipper yawns and swings his feet over the side of the bed. I stand up and stretch my arms above my head.

We walk through the hallway using Dipper's flashlight to guide our way. We crouched low and quietly opened the door leading to Dipper's and Mabel's bedroom [more like the attic spare room if you ask me]. "Mabel." Dipper whispers. All we get as a response is a groan and Mabel rolling over on her side. "There's only way to wake her up when she's sleeping like this." Dipper whispers to me. "How?" I ask in a low whisper. "Stay here." His warm breath that lingers from his voice makes it's way into my skin making me shiver.

I make an okay sign with my hand, he gives me a thumbs up and walks over to Mabel's bed. "Good morning Mabel. Whose my favorite Mabel?" Dipper says in a very fake manly voice. Mabel awakes with a start and aims her grappling hook at Dipper. I flip the light switch on so Mabel won't actually kill her brother.

"Ahhh who are you? Dipper I'll save you from this body switching ware lock!" She shouts and hits Dipper on the head with. Golf club. "Ahh, ow." Dipper says stumbling backward. "What the heck is going on here?" Grenda asks. "God Dipper and Avery, pranking me like that so not cool." Mabel says as she notices me laughing. I clear my throat. "Sorry." "Mabel we aren't pranking you. Someone is in the gift shop and they screamed. So we came to get you." Dipper responds still rubbing the spot on his head where Mabel whacked him with the golf club. That had to hurt.

Mabel slips out from under the covers and grabs her fallen grappling hook. "In that case, let's go." Mabel grabs her friends and the grappling hook while Dipper and I lead the way with the light of the flashlight.

"Dipper are you sure you heard screaming and it wasn't just your imagination. I mean because you have a crazy wild imagination." Dipper frowns. "Yes he is sure. I heard it too." I respond.

★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆

"Bye Candy, bye Grenda." Mabel says as we stand on the porch sipping from a can of cool Pitt. "Remember mini golfing next week!" Candy shouts as she rolls down the window of her moms car. "I'll remember don't worry." She laughs and then waves bye as both if their cars pull out of the distance.

"That was fun." She says as she turns around. Dipper nods and finishes his Pitt. "Yeah." I respond. "Exspecially that part where Dipper got hit with a golf club." I laugh and Mabel joins in. I look over at Dipper as he frowns as he stares at his shoes. "Sorry Dipper. Admit it, you thought it was funny last night." Mabel says. "Yeah i guess." Dipper replies flatly.

Mabel and I continue to laugh and play out the where about of last night. It turns out last when we heard that scream, that it was only Soos sneaking into the gift shop to get something to eat from the snack machine. We ended up going back to bed, but Dipper and I stayed with Mabel, Candy, and Grenda.

Dipper sighs and looks at me through the corner if his eye [it's looks kind of creepy if you ask me] and motions me to come over. "Yeah?" I ask. "Come here." I follow him behind the shack. He sits down on the wooden porch and pats the empty spot next to him. This is it! This is the moment he tells me about the case. The secrets he's been hiding. Oh crap, I left my notepad inside the shack.

"Look, we need to talk." Dipper says. I nod. Here it comes! "About something..." He finishes. "Okay..." I say slowly to keep the conversation rolling. "Meet me on the roof tonight after everyone's asleep." I sigh. "Again?" I ask raising an eyebrow. What if he got to that case before me? He nods. "Please. I really need someone up there with me." His brown eyes look into mine. He's not lying. "Okay." I say softly.

He stops looking at me and looks over at the sun which is starting to set. "Come on. Let's go up on the roof. We can get a better view there." He stands up and reaches for my hand. Instead of pulling it away, I let him have it. Just like I let Bailey have mine that day in the mall. Bailey! Oh my gosh. Bailey! Where is he? What's going on in Pasedena while I'm gone?

I sigh and stand up as Dipper pulls me up. I look at him. I don't like him as much as I like Bailey, but I need to remember no matter what happens Bailey is my boyfriend and Dipper is just....well, a friend. Dipper is a friend of mine.

I throw my empty can of Pitt into the trash as we head inside and climb up the ladder that leads to the roof. Here we go again. I'm going to end up falling for Dipper and then he's going to screw the world because he's helping Bill when he doesn't even know what Bill's plans are when I do.

★ ☆★ ☆★ ☆

I swing my legs back and forth as I sit on my jacket and look up at the bright oranges and pinks and whites and yellows in the sky. Dipper hums some tune and taps his hands on his thigh. Below us, Mabel plays "Spin the Pig" with Wendy and Soos using Waddles as the bottle. I guess it's like "Spin the Bottle" except your using a pig and then you have to kiss the pig instead.

I laughed the pig lands on Stan. Mabel gasps and holds Waddles's front hooves. "Grunkle Stan, ever kissed a pig before?" She asks. All the attention and eyes are turned to Grunkle Stan. He drops his newspaper. "I refuse to answer that." He responds. Mabel looks away. "Soos?" She asks. Soos looks confused as she calls his name. "Sup hambone?" He asks her. She points Waddles in his direction. "Ever kissed a pig before?" She asks again. "Nope." He says shoving his hand in a bag of burrito bites.

"Well I guess today is your lucky day then." She hands him Waddles and that's when I look away. "That's just disgusting." I say aloud. "Yeah, she does play this game often." Dipper responds to my comment. "Do you play it with her?" I ask. "Me?" He laughs. "No. I don't want to kiss that pig. I'd rather kiss you." He laughs again. What? I turn my attention to him and star at him with my eyes wide, and my mouth opened wide enough to let flies fly through. "You'd what?" I ask him.

[girl with wifi]

Dipper looks down at the ground and swings his kegs back and forth. I stare at him with my mouth wide and eyes bulging out of their sockets. "You'd what?" I ask him again, waiting for an answer. "You heard me. I'd rather kiss you instead of that pig." He doesn't look up at he when he replies. But why would he want to kiss me? "Dipper, your not in love with me are you?" I ask him, if. He answers yes, I am in deep trouble. I can't be in love with him, he's a cartoon character not a real person like Bailey. "Yes, Avery I am in love with you." I stare into his brown eyes, his brown eyes that are pushing me into a trap. "No." I respond. "No?" He asks looking confused. "Dipper you can't." I say. "I can't what?" Well here it goes. "You can't love me because I'm real I'm not a cartoon character and you are. When I go back home to California I leave this cartoon world. But you? You have to stay here." I respond. Dipper looks at me, at my eyes. They look confused, worried, hurt. "I...I don't understand." He finally manages to say. "I'm sorry." I get up from the roof and c,imb the ladder down. Was that really worth it? Can I really get back to Bailey without his help?

I think back to the way he looked when I admitted he wasn't real, a drawing brought to life on a TV screen. Feeling tears start to come, I dash through the front door and off to the only place I can think of, the woods. I unzip my jacket and throw it on the ground as I continue to run, my golden hair following behind me. I need to get out of here before anything else happens that I'm unprepared for.

I wipe my face and sit down on a log. I miss Bailey, I miss Pasadena, I miss everything that used to be mine. This isn't my life, Gravity Falls isn't my life. "Avery! Avery!" I hear my name being called and look up. I see a flashlight in the distance. Why would they possibly come looking for me? I stood him up and just ran off. I probably hurt him more than anything.

"Mabel I think she's over here!" A voice shouts. It's different sounding and sounds almost like Bailey's. What? Since when did Dipper's voice change? "Regan over here! I think we found her!" Regan? Where do I know that- oh my god what is going on? First I'm in Gravity Falls and now every else is too? "Hello?" I call out. "Bailey over here!"

I wipe my face when I see a flashlight in front of me and that gorgeous smile and blue eyes. Bailey. "Um hi?" I say slowly. I'm as confused as he is. "All I can say is just, Wow. Wow Avery." He reaches for my hand. "Let's get you back to the shack." He responds as he sees my purple and blue ankle. I probably broke it. "Okay." I say softly and let him hold my hand the rest of the walk back to the shack.

"So how did you get here?" I ask Bailey as he wraps gauze around my arm. "Some weird creature named Bill." I frown at the name Bill. "Bill." I say with a frown and anger in my face. "Do you know him." Reagan asks as she braids Mabel's hair. "Yeah we know him." Dipper says flatly. He must be mad at me about earlier. "Well go on. Who is he?" Bailey asks. "Oh, Bill the dreamscapers demon. He's so dangerous in just a second of him being in your mind, he can change you like that." Dipper snaps. "We've met him before, haven't we bro bro?" Mabel asks. "Yes we have." He responds. "How?" Kelsey says. "We had to follow him into our uncle's mind. To retrieve something." He snaps. Yep I defiantly made him mad. Great job Avery. You pissed a cartoon character off.

Regan nods and ties the end of Mabel's braid with a hot pink ribbon. "So question is, how do we get back?" Bailey asks as he holds ice on my ankle. Dipper scoffs. "Were not telling you how. So I hope you like living in Gravity Falls forever." Mabel frowns at her brother. Mabel walks over to Dipper and drags him out of the room. Probably for a little one on one sibling shut up talk. I've had plenty of those before.

Bailey let's go of my leg and sips from his Pitt cola. "So Avs how did you get here?" Is sigh. "Let's just say a little triangle named Bill had plans for me." I respond trying to keep it simple. "Okay then." Mabel walks back out of the computer room/office, and walked back into the room we are located in. "Dipper needs you." She responds. "I point a finger in face as I hop off the counter. "Don't do anything stupid." I say as she hops up next to Bailey. I most certainly dont need her hitting on my man.

"What?" I ask as I enter the office. "We need to talk." Dipper sighs deeply. "About what?" He frowns. "About earlier.
