Chapter 7: The Paranormal Club

“FREEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOM!” Mabel was the first out of all the students to run out the door after school have ended for today. She jumped right on the grass and rolled around. “I missed you, outside.”

Dipper came out and just smiled. “We’re not going to survive until summer, are we?”

“Doesn’t look like it.” Dyami laughed. “You must love Gravity Falls with all your soul.”

“You have no idea.” Dipper said. “Besides the paranormal, we had a ton of fun with some new friends and our Grunkles.”

“But the mysteries are always the biggest. Like that Bunker with the Shapeshifter.” Mabel lifted herself up. “Which reminds me. We have got to have our first club meeting before we actually get, ugh, homework.”

“She’s right.” Beethoven came out. “We must hang out with Mabel, I mean join the club for …. Something.”

Dyami folded his arms and tilted his head. “Relax; since I’d moved into the same neighborhood as you, we can all just walk to one of our houses.” Dyami looked at the twins. “You’ve mentioned in lunch that your great uncle was studying the paranormal in Gravity Falls.” He smiled like a fanboy. “Do you think we can get him in an online chat?”

Dipper rubbed the back of his neck. “He’s not really used to the internet just yet. But I can give him a call. He was working on recreating the journals from Stan’s copies.”

“Really?” Mabel asked. “The Journals are being revived after Bill Cipher destroyed them? We’re back in business!”

“I still don’t understand.” Beethoven said. He turned to Dyami who only shrugged.

“We’ll explain later, we should meet up at our house.” Dipper said.

Beethoven froze up a bit. “You-You-You mean yours and Mabel’s house? With-With your parents who can easily judge me?”

“Yep.” Mabel said obliviously. “I hope you like pigs.”

“Uhhh, I don’t eat pigs.” Dyami said. “I’m not a vegetarian, but pigs are just unhealthy in general. Since they’re scavengers like dogs and vultures.”

“What do you mean scavengers?” Beethoven asked, regretting the ham sandwich he had.

Afterwards the kids were picked up by their own parents. Mabel and Dipper told their folks how their first day went and the new student.

“And we met this boy who’s into the paranormal just like Dipper. We’re going to start a club.” Mabel said as their parents sounded happy.

“That’s great to hear.” Mr. Pines said while driving.

Mrs. Pines looked over to Dipper. “Looks like Gravity Falls really paid off for you, Dipper.”

Mabel wrapped her arms around Dipper’s neck. “Who’s friendly now? This guy right here!”

Dipper sheepishly laughed as they pulled into their garage. “And it also turned out that he and his family moved right across the street from us.”

“And there he is!” Mabel squealed when Dyami and his family arrived home.

“Oh, the Grey family.” Mr. Pines waved to their new neighbors. “They moved in last month. Great people, unlike our last neighbor who won the lottery.”

“I can still remember the all-nighter parties.” Mrs. Pines rubbed her temples.

“Mabel, Dipper!” Dyami crossed the street.

“He said my name first.” Mabel pupils grew.

“So are you ready to call your ingenious Great Uncle Ford?” Dyami asked.

“We’ll do that right now.” Dipper said. “But we should probably wait for….” Dipper then noticed Beethoven standing with them, perfectly still.

“Oh, hello Beethoven.” Mrs. Pines said.

Beethoven just stood there, with no response.

“Why does he always do this?” Mr. Pines said. “Well we’ll leave you kids alone. Behave yourself.”

The parents left and Dipper and Mabel brought Dyami inside, that’s when Beethoven released his breath. “Nailed it.”

They all sat in the living room where Mabel served them some of her very own Mabel juice, which made the two new friends feel very uncomfortable.

“Thanks?” Dyami said as he took a cup and examined the plastic toys inside.

“You’re welcome.” Mabel said with a red face.

“I’ll love it!” Beethoven jugged the cup, regretting it instantly.

Dipper was on the phone getting in contact with Ford.

The phone rang in the Mystery Shack and Soos was right there to pick it up. “Mystery Shack. Under new management, Soos speaking.”

“Soos, it’s me, Dipper.”

Hearing Dipper’s voice brighten Soos’s already excited day. “Dipper! How’s home? I miss you already.” He whimpered like a sad dog.

“Great, Soos. Made some new friends and we’re starting our own Paranormal Club.”

Soos smiled with joy. “That’s great, dude. Now you can explore all the mysteries in Piedmont.”

“Well Piedmont is not as mysterious as Gravity Falls.” Dipper said, “But right now Mabel is asking our new friend, Dyami, if he’s one of the mystical creatures in her so-called romance novels.” Dipper held up the phone to let Soos listen in.

“Are you a vampire?”

“No.”

“Werewolf?”

“No.”

“Merman?”

“No.”

“Wendigo?”

“Do you have any idea what that is?!”

Soos scratched his head. “This is one strange generation.”

“Tell me about it.” Dipper said. “So is Ford there? I want to talk to him.”

“Sorry, dude. Ford and Stan are in town. They’re still getting ready for their big trip.”

“Right. Wish I could go. But when they come back, can you tell them to send us a copy of his complete volume of the journals when they’re done.”

“Oh he is far ahead of that, dude.” Soos smiled. “He gathered all the copies last night and made a fresh new one. He already mailed it to you kids today.”

“Really?! That’s great!” Dipper smiled. “When will it get here?”

“Hey Dipper, we got a package from Gravity Falls!” Mabel called out to them.

“Tell Grunkle Ford thanks times a million!” Dipper said with an over amount of joy.

“No problem, Dipper. Enjoy your school year.”

“You too. I mean have fun as Mr. Mystery.”

“It’s already a dream come true.” Soos spoke softly before hanging up. Emotions overwhelmed the guy and all the lights turned off except for one spotlight. “When you wish upon a star. Makes no difference who you are. Anything your heart desires. Will come to you ….. actually I had to work here as a handyman to get where I am today.”

Dipper rushed to the package Mabel was holding and opened it instantly. A heavenly light beamed off from the new journal. The design of it resembles the original journals, but with no tears or wears compared to the over thirty-year older ones. The six-finger symbol had also changed, instead there were three smaller symbols labeled 1, 2, and 3. “Wow, a new journal.” Mabel said in aww. “And free lights.” Mabel took out some Christmas lights that were turned on.

Dipper opened the journal and remembered each page. He smiled gratefully as he embraced the book close to his beating heart.

“Dipper, you’re starting to creep me out.” Beethoven said as Dipper hugged the book like a long-lost friend.

“Huh? I mean uh.” Dipper snapped out of it. “This is the completed journal my uncle Ford sent.”

“Really?” Mabel grabbed the book off his hands. “Yeah, here are the unicorns and gnomes. It even has all the stuff you added.”

Mabel handed the book to Dyami. Flipping only a few pages he could see some amazing designs of such creatures and artifacts, and some very stupid looking ones like the Leprecorn. “If it wasn’t for the fact that I met the Lilliputtians and a Gnome who only says ‘Shmebulock’ I would say you’re all crazy. Fun crazy that is.”

“He called me fun.” Mabel sighed to herself.

They spend the hour showing Dyami and Beethoven the content of the journals and the crazy adventures they had. Dyami was very developed into the tales they told like the Shapeshifter, the Dinosaurs, and the Society of the Blind Eye.

Beethoven was still lost.

“This …. This is incredible!” Dyami flipped through the pages. “I just wanted to start a Paranormal Club just to talk about it. But this! I think we have a new purpose!” Dyami stand on the coffee table. “Today marks the beginning of our Paranormal Research Team. Right here in Piedmont!”

“Um, Yaaaaay!” shouted Beethoven.

Dipper laughed at Dyami, he sees him as a direct copy of himself. Only not awkward at all and probably have girls chasing after him without following any Grunkle Stan’s advice.

“But you know; it’s not like Piedmont is a paranormal hotspot like Gravity Falls. Heck, except for a few haunting reports, Piedmont’s dry.”

“How can you be so sure?” Dyami sat next to him. “You’ve only started looking for the paranormal when you arrived at Gravity Falls, correct?”

Dipper nodded.

“But what if there are creatures right here that you didn’t even noticed?”

Dipper felt his chin. “That’s right. Before this summer, I’ve been keeping to myself. And there is a trail in the woods a few miles away.”

“And a park!” Mabel said. “There could be a fairy castle right behind the bathrooms!” She gasped and shook her brother. “Dipper, go to the fairy section.”

Dipper followed her sister’s command and turned to where Ford had recorded his findings of fairies. “Wow, Mabel you were on the right track there.”

Dyami and Beethoven looked surprised.

“It says here that fairies will build their miniature castles near locations with strong odor to keep intruders away. That and also where a lot of spiders are.”

“Clever butterfly people.” Dyami said. “Anything else?”

“Well we can’t check every place that will make us barf, but if there was a fairy castle anywhere here, we would be able to hear them sing.”

“What do they sing? Eighties music?” Mabel asked.

“Actually, yes.” Dipper showed them the drawing of a fairy singing around a Record Player. “They seem to love it here. Also Ford wrote here that this is how he’d discovered Zombies’ weakness.”

“I am on the ball!” Mabel shouted in joy. “Today’s lottery number is infinity!”

Beethoven felt his head. “I still don’t understand …… but.”

“But what?” Mabel jumped in front of him, making the boy turned deep red. “Tell me all.”

“All.” Beethoven yelped before slapping himself. “I mean I actually heard eighties music out of nowhere.”

“You do?” both Dipper and Dyami said.

“Yeah, every time I go jogging.”

(Flashback)

“I … I need ….” Beethoven lost all his energy and collapsed in front of the park’s bathroom.

‘I was totally jogging for at least an hour and not only ten seconds. That’s when I heard it.’

Don’t start, unbelieving. Never don’t not feel your feelings.

‘It didn’t sound like a radio or anyone in the bathrooms. But like a million of girly things singing.’

“Hello? Who’s there? Don’t mess with me!” Beethoven. “My dad works at Mintendo.”

‘Feeling that there was an overpowered threat that sadly no mortal like me can handle, I was force to evacuate.’

“AAAAAAAAHHHHH!” he shouted and ran off.

(End Flashback)

“That happened every time I go there, but I never tried to find out where it was coming from.”

“Until now!” Mabel said. “We are going to go to the park and find those fairies! Also I think I might be psychic!”

“Yes, we shall uncover the truth!” Dyami shouted. “I love your energy, Mabel! You’re so motivating.”

“EEEEEEEE!” Mabel jumped.

“I’m motivated too. I mean I love motivating energy. I mean I’ll help!” Beethoven said with sweat running down his face.

The energy around the room made Dipper feel like he was still in Gravity Falls, eager to learn more of the paranormal and to spent time with people he cares about. “Well what are we waiting for, let’s find those fairies.”

“You mean those magic, tiny, wing girls. Right?”

Dipper and the others turned to see their parents.

“Yes!” Mabel answered. “What else can it be?”

…

After an awkward silent, Mabel and Dipper packed some vital tools and together the Paranormal Team made their way to the park.

“Well, here we are.” Dipper breathed in the fresh air. “Still the same as we left it, huh Mabel?”

“Like the playground. And look, there’s the fox from earlier.” Mabel ran up to the Red Fox who was just lying in the grass. “Go Vegan, you bunny eater!” Mabel ran back to the group, leaving the fox confused.

“Mabel, how did you recognize that fox?” Dipper asked.

“That’s the way of the Mabel.” His energetic sister confirmed.

“I must say, this is an outstanding park.” Dyami said as he observed the tennis court, the pond, a waterpark, and a fire pit some parents were complaining about.

“There are also a romantic nature walk, a romantic tree house that you can see a romantic waterfall from, a romantic museum art tour, a romantic boat ride, and a romantic rock. Did I mention they were all romantic?”

Dyami backed away a few inches from Mabel. “O.K. ….. are those the bathrooms you were talking about, Beethoven?”

“T-That’s it alright.”

The four kids slowly approached the bathroom where a green-faced man holding his mouth ran into.

“Alright Team.” Dipper caught their attention and showed them the fairy section of the journal. “From Grunkle Ford’s notes, fairies are peaceful creatures that loves girly things. Just as long as we pose no harm, nothing bad will happen.”

They all nodded and covered their noses to search for the castle. “You know it’s probably not that bad.” Dipper was soon proven wrong when the guy from before ran out coughing. “There is no hope in there. No hope….”

Dipper backed away as he followed the team behind the building. “Since this is a popular path, their castle is probably hidden underground with only a small entrance. I already packed us work gloves to search the ground for the-”

“Found it!” Mabel shouted.

Dipper ran ahead and couldn’t believe his eyes. The princess-y looking, miniature castle was standing right behind the bathrooms. Literally out in the open with no trees, rocks, or anything to hide it. Heck the horseshoe game sets were only a yard away.

“This can’t be real.”

Suddenly from the castle voices starting singing.

“Disco Girl, Coming through, that girl is you.’

Dyami covered his ears. “And their singing the most dreadful song of my life.” Dyami dropped on his knees. “I’ve spend weeks trying to rid my mind from this song. Why must people enjoy it so?!”

Dipper gave no comment. “O.K …. Mabel, you relate with them more, try introducing yourself.”

“On it.” Mabel knocked on the door lightly. “Helllloooooo?”

The small door opened and out came a fairy. “Greetings Humans, you are the first of your kind to approach us in a life time.”

Dyami grinned widely. “I don’t believe it!” He turned to Dipper. “Come on. Ask it something!”

Dipper, with more experience, walked up to the fairy. “Hello girls. I was wondering if you could-”

Before he could say more, Mabel started asking multiple questions. “Do you like nail painting and talking about boys. Oh of course you do. I mean your fairies. Girl Power is the top we have!”

“Mabel…” Dipper groaned.

Dyami slowly moved toward him, looking rather worried. “D-Dipper, are you sure they’re docile by nature?”

“Trust me, my Grunkle’s an expert.” Dipper smiled. “There is no way he’ll miss some vital information and not write it down here …… but he did added more info with invisible ink before ……” Dipper glanced at the journal again. “O.K. He also written down the invisible ink sections in plain sight. …. And we’re good. They’re all just rainbows and bunnies.”

“I don’t know, man. Look.” The frightful Beethoven pointed at the fairy turning to a dark red and showing some rather sharp fangs.

“Oh boy.”

“So what do you think is more fashionable, bows or headbands? I go with headbands because-”

“ENOUGH!” the fairy shouted with a demonic voice. “For centuries humans will uncover our castle and just mock us for the stereotypes that we alone do not hold. We are all tomboys!”

From the other doors and windows came a swarm of fairies filled with bloodthirsty rage.

“You shall suffer a thousand deaths for your false knowledge.”

“Oh no, they have the same evil blood as internet commenters!” Dyami jumped in front of the three and drew out a whip. “You shall lay no finger on my new friends! You do that and you’ll evoke my justice!”

“He’s so dreamy.” Mabel sighed before pinching herself. “Still awake.”

Feeling outdone, Beethoven ran ahead. “And don’t think it’s just the three of us.” He snickered. “Look to your left.”

The fairies turned to the left and saw no one. It took them a few seconds to realize they’ve been tricked. “They’re getting away!”

The kids ran down the path as fast as they could. “Come on, hurry!” Dyami was the fastest out of all of them; leaving behind Mabel and Dipper, who were trying their best to catch up.

“I really need to exercise more.” Dipper said, thanking Gravity Falls for the extra muscle strength.

Mabel turned around and saw Beethoven trying to keep up. “Beethoven, come on! You’re a jogger for Pete’s sake!”

Beethoven had enough and fell down. “You …. I’ll hold them …” He laid on his back as the fairies approached them.

“Beethoven!” Dipper and Mabel ran back and Mabel took out her Grappling Hook.

“Let’s see, weaknesses, weaknesses.” Dipper checked the journal to check for any weaknesses. “In case fairies are provoked, use fire to ward them off.”

Dipper checked his pockets and regretted not taking any matches. “Mabel, have anything to start a fire?”

“Who needs fire when you have a grappling hook!” Mabel shot her grappling hook, only for the rope to be grabbed by the fairies. “Heh, I guess we need fire.”

Dyami jumped ahead and swatted at the fairies with his whip, only for the same thing to happen to him. “Give that back, it belonged to my deceased grandfather …. No wait, he’s still alive.”

Beethoven crawled away from the fang-bearing fairies. “Any other ideas?”

Dipper flipped through the pages and found nothing. “Can we just apologize?”

The fairies looked at each other in discussion. “No.”

“What did I say, blood of internet commenters.”

All hope seemed lost, but then out of anything else that could happened, a stream of fire appeared. Blocking the kids from the fairies.

“Great thinking, Dipper!” Dyami complimented his friend.

“I didn’t do this.” Dipper said as the fairies backed away. “Mabel?”

“Nuh-uh.” Mabel shook her head. “That only leaves ….. you!”

“Me?” Beethoven asked, and received a big hug from his crush.

“You didn’t tell me you had fire powers.”

Beethoven shook off the shyness and acted tough. “Yeah, it’s my secret weapon. I don’t always use it. But when I do, it’s-”

“Please stop.” Dipper said as he looked around. He noticed to the left something short running into the shrubs. He also took note that the fairies were also looking in the same direction.

“Urgh, her again.” One fairy said.

Another fairy called out to the kids. “We’ll let you off with a warning this time. But don’t ever go by stereotypes ever again!”

The fairies retreated as the flames died down.

“We won!” Mabel shouted. “Score one for Team Paranormal! We really need to work on the name.”

“I agree.” Dyami said as he put his whip away. “We must celebrate.”

Dipper checked where the flames were and found a surprised. “Wow.”

“What is it?” Beethoven asked.

“Do you see this?”

Beethoven looked and was not amused. “Uh, nothing.”

“Exactly!”

Beethoven glanced at Dipper and where the flames were. “O.K. you’re being dumb.”

Dipper shook his head. “You don’t get it. What’s usually happen to things that catches on fire?”

“They burn to a crisp.” Beethoven said. His words circled around his head for a moment before suddenly realizing it. “Hey, there’s no burnt marks.”

Mabel and Dyami also noticed no trace of flames anywhere. “Wow, that’s awesome.” Mabel grinned. “I just got hundreds of ideas.”

Dyami inspected the concrete walkway and the soil. “Amazing. What source of nature was that?”

“Whatever it is, it’s gone now.” Dipper glanced back to the shrubs. “But do you know what this means?”

“We’re going home, away from man-eating fairies and random Houdini fire?” Beethoven asked.

Dipper turned to them with the biggest and brightest grin. “There are more paranormal activities happening here other than Gravity Falls!”

“Huzzah!” Mabel shouted. “I can’t believe we’re actually doing mysteries right here at home! Oooooo. I can’t wait to tell Candy and Grenda online. I really need a cellphone!”

Dipper hugged his journal. “I can’t wait to tell Uncle Ford all about this. But he’ll be busy before leaving. I need to write this all down.” Dipper gasped at a suddenly realization. “I should write my own journal!”

Beethoven stood up, just …. Just wished he could speak his mind. “I want to quit right now. But I know I won’t.” Beethoven looked over at Mabel cheering. Just the way she leaped into danger like that made him admire her more. “Hey, if I help them catch some monster, I’ll be popular for once.”

Dyami looked towards the setting sun. “We should get back home. Dinner time will be ready soon.”

“And you get extra points for not calling it supper.” Mabel said.

Dipper also looked toward the sun. “Well whatever is out there, we’ll find it. No matter what ….. but don’t forget we have school.”

“Oh, booo!” shouted Mabel as the others complained.

“I hate homework.” Beethoven sighed. “Just for that, I’m gonna pound you.”

“Hey.” Mabel protested, which calmed Beethoven.

As they walked through the park, Dipper gave one more glance back at the shrubs. “What was that?” Dipper laid his question to rest as he left to enjoy a fine dinner at home.

Within the bushes stood a creature with gentle emerald eyes watching the kids head home to where they belong, with their families.

Dyami folded his arms and tilted his head. “Relax; since I’d moved into the same neighborhood as you, we can all just walk to one of our houses.” Dyami looked at the twins. “You’ve mentioned in lunch that your great uncle was studying the paranormal in Gravity Falls.” He smiled like a fanboy. “Do you think we can get him in an online chat?”

Beethoven felt his head. “I still don’t understand …… but.”

“But what?” Mabel jumped in front of him, making the boy turned deep red. “Tell me all.”

“All.” Beethoven yelped before slapping himself. “I mean I actually heard eighties music out of nowhere.”

“You do?” both Dipper and Dyami said.

“Yeah, every time I go jogging.”

(Flashback)

“I … I need ….” Beethoven lost all his energy and collapsed in front of the park’s bathroom.

‘I was totally jogging for at least an hour and not only ten seconds. That’s when I heard it.’

Don’t start, unbelieving. Never don’t not feel your feelings.

‘It didn’t sound like a radio or anyone in the bathrooms. But like a million of girly things singing.’

“Hello? Who’s there? Don’t mess with me!” Beethoven. “My dad works at Mintendo.”

‘Feeling that there was an overpowered threat that sadly no mortal like me can handle, I was force to evacuate.’

“AAAAAAAAHHHHH!” he shouted and ran off.

(End Flashback)

“That happened every time I go there, but I never tried to find out where it was coming from.”

“Until now!” Mabel said. “We are going to go to the park and find those fairies! Also I think I might be psychic!”

“Yes, we shall uncover the truth!” Dyami shouted. “I love your energy, Mabel! You’re so motivating.”

“EEEEEEEE!” Mabel jumped.

“I’m motivated too. I mean I love motivating energy. I mean I’ll help!” Beethoven said with sweat running down his face.

The energy around the room made Dipper feel like he was still in Gravity Falls, eager to learn more of the paranormal and to spent time with people he cares about. “Well what are we waiting for, let’s find those fairies.”

“You mean those magic, tiny, wing girls. Right?”

Dipper and the others turned to see their parents.

“Yes!” Mabel answered. “What else can it be?”

…

After an awkward silent, Mabel and Dipper packed some vital tools and together the Paranormal Team made their way to the park.

“Well, here we are.” Dipper breathed in the fresh air. “Still the same as we left it, huh Mabel?”

“Like the playground. And look, there’s the fox from earlier.” Mabel ran up to the Red Fox who was just lying in the grass. “Go Vegan, you bunny eater!” Mabel ran back to the group, leaving the fox confused.

“Mabel, how did you recognize that fox?” Dipper asked.

“That’s the way of the Mabel.” His energetic sister confirmed.

“I must say, this is an outstanding park.” Dyami said as he observed the tennis court, the pond, a waterpark, and a fire pit some parents were complaining about.

“There are also a romantic nature walk, a romantic tree house that you can see a romantic waterfall from, a romantic museum art tour, a romantic boat ride, and a romantic rock. Did I mention they were all romantic?”

Dyami backed away a few inches from Mabel. “O.K. ….. are those the bathrooms you were talking about, Beethoven?”

“T-That’s it alright.”

The four kids slowly approached the bathroom where a green-faced man holding his mouth ran into.

“Alright Team.” Dipper caught their attention and showed them the fairy section of the journal. “From Grunkle Ford’s notes, fairies are peaceful creatures that loves girly things. Just as long as we pose no harm, nothing bad will happen.”

They all nodded and covered their noses to search for the castle. “You know it’s probably not that bad.” Dipper was soon proven wrong when the guy from before ran out coughing. “There is no hope in there. No hope….”

Dipper backed away as he followed the team behind the building. “Since this is a popular path, their castle is probably hidden underground with only a small entrance. I already packed us work gloves to search the ground for the-”

“Found it!” Mabel shouted.

Dipper ran ahead and couldn’t believe his eyes. The princess-y looking, miniature castle was standing right behind the bathrooms. Literally out in the open with no trees, rocks, or anything to hide it. Heck the horseshoe game sets were only a yard away.

“This can’t be real.”

Suddenly from the castle voices starting singing.

“Disco Girl, Coming through, that girl is you.’

Dyami covered his ears. “And their singing the most dreadful song of my life.” Dyami dropped on his knees. “I’ve spend weeks trying to rid my mind from this song. Why must people enjoy it so?!”

Dipper gave no comment. “O.K …. Mabel, you relate with them more, try introducing yourself.”

“On it.” Mabel knocked on the door lightly. “Helllloooooo?”

The small door opened and out came a fairy. “Greetings Humans, you are the first of your kind to approach us in a life time.”

Dyami grinned widely. “I don’t believe it!” He turned to Dipper. “Come on. Ask it something!”

Dipper, with more experience, walked up to the fairy. “Hello girls. I was wondering if you could-”

Before he could say more, Mabel started asking multiple questions. “Do you like nail painting and talking about boys. Oh of course you do. I mean your fairies. Girl Power is the top we have!”

“Mabel…” Dipper groaned.

Dyami slowly moved toward him, looking rather worried. “D-Dipper, are you sure they’re docile by nature?”

“Trust me, my Grunkle’s an expert.” Dipper smiled. “There is no way he’ll miss some vital information and not write it down here …… but he did added more info with invisible ink before ……” Dipper glanced at the journal again. “O.K. He also written down the invisible ink sections in plain sight. …. And we’re good. They’re all just rainbows and bunnies.”

“I don’t know, man. Look.” The frightful Beethoven pointed at the fairy turning to a dark red and showing some rather sharp fangs.

“Oh boy.”

“So what do you think is more fashionable, bows or headbands? I go with headbands because-”

“ENOUGH!” the fairy shouted with a demonic voice. “For centuries humans will uncover our castle and just mock us for the stereotypes that we alone do not hold. We are all tomboys!”

From the other doors and windows came a swarm of fairies filled with bloodthirsty rage.

“You shall suffer a thousand deaths for your false knowledge.”

“Oh no, they have the same evil blood as internet commenters!” Dyami jumped in front of the three and drew out a whip. “You shall lay no finger on my new friends! You do that and you’ll evoke my justice!”

“He’s so dreamy.” Mabel sighed before pinching herself. “Still awake.”

Feeling outdone, Beethoven ran ahead. “And don’t think it’s just the three of us.” He snickered. “Look to your left.”

The fairies turned to the left and saw no one. It took them a few seconds to realize they’ve been tricked. “They’re getting away!”

The kids ran down the path as fast as they could. “Come on, hurry!” Dyami was the fastest out of all of them; leaving behind Mabel and Dipper, who were trying their best to catch up.

“I really need to exercise more.” Dipper said, thanking Gravity Falls for the extra muscle strength.

Mabel turned around and saw Beethoven trying to keep up. “Beethoven, come on! You’re a jogger for Pete’s sake!”

Beethoven had enough and fell down. “You …. I’ll hold them …” He laid on his back as the fairies approached them.

“Beethoven!” Dipper and Mabel ran back and Mabel took out her Grappling Hook.

“Let’s see, weaknesses, weaknesses.” Dipper checked the journal to check for any weaknesses. “In case fairies are provoked, use fire to ward them off.”

Dipper checked his pockets and regretted not taking any matches. “Mabel, have anything to start a fire?”

“Who needs fire when you have a grappling hook!” Mabel shot her grappling hook, only for the rope to be grabbed by the fairies. “Heh, I guess we need fire.”

Dyami jumped ahead and swatted at the fairies with his whip, only for the same thing to happen to him. “Give that back, it belonged to my deceased grandfather …. No wait, he’s still alive.”

Beethoven crawled away from the fang-bearing fairies. “Any other ideas?”

Dipper flipped through the pages and found nothing. “Can we just apologize?”

The fairies looked at each other in discussion. “No.”

“What did I say, blood of internet commenters.”

All hope seemed lost, but then out of anything else that could happened, a stream of fire appeared. Blocking the kids from the fairies.

“Great thinking, Dipper!” Dyami complimented his friend.

“I didn’t do this.” Dipper said as the fairies backed away. “Mabel?”

“Nuh-uh.” Mabel shook her head. “That only leaves ….. you!”

“Me?” Beethoven asked, and received a big hug from his crush.

“You didn’t tell me you had fire powers.”

Beethoven shook off the shyness and acted tough. “Yeah, it’s my secret weapon. I don’t always use it. But when I do, it’s-”

“Please stop.” Dipper said as he looked around. He noticed to the left something short running into the shrubs. He also took note that the fairies were also looking in the same direction.

“Urgh, her again.” One fairy said.

Another fairy called out to the kids. “We’ll let you off with a warning this time. But don’t ever go by stereotypes ever again!”

The fairies retreated as the flames died down.

“We won!” Mabel shouted. “Score one for Team Paranormal! We really need to work on the name.”

“I agree.” Dyami said as he put his whip away. “We must celebrate.”

Dipper checked where the flames were and found a surprised. “Wow.”

“What is it?” Beethoven asked.

“Do you see this?”

Beethoven looked and was not amused. “Uh, nothing.”

“Exactly!”

Beethoven glanced at Dipper and where the flames were. “O.K. you’re being dumb.”

Dipper shook his head. “You don’t get it. What’s usually happen to things that catches on fire?”

“They burn to a crisp.” Beethoven said. His words circled around his head for a moment before suddenly realizing it. “Hey, there’s no burnt marks.”

Mabel and Dyami also noticed no trace of flames anywhere. “Wow, that’s awesome.” Mabel grinned. “I just got hundreds of ideas.”

Dyami inspected the concrete walkway and the soil. “Amazing. What source of nature was that?”

“Whatever it is, it’s gone now.” Dipper glanced back to the shrubs. “But do you know what this means?”

“We’re going home, away from man-eating fairies and random Houdini fire?” Beethoven asked.

Dipper turned to them with the biggest and brightest grin. “There are more paranormal activities happening here other than Gravity Falls!”

“Huzzah!” Mabel shouted. “I can’t believe we’re actually doing mysteries right here at home! Oooooo. I can’t wait to tell Candy and Grenda online. I really need a cellphone!”

Dipper hugged his journal. “I can’t wait to tell Uncle Ford all about this. But he’ll be busy before leaving. I need to write this all down.” Dipper gasped at a suddenly realization. “I should write my own journal!”

Beethoven stood up, just …. Just wished he could speak his mind. “I want to quit right now. But I know I won’t.” Beethoven looked over at Mabel cheering. Just the way she leaped into danger like that made him admire her more. “Hey, if I help them catch some monster, I’ll be popular for once.”

Dyami looked towards the setting sun. “We should get back home. Dinner time will be ready soon.”

“And you get extra points for not calling it supper.” Mabel said.

Dipper also looked toward the sun. “Well whatever is out there, we’ll find it. No matter what ….. but don’t forget we have school.”

“Oh, booo!” shouted Mabel as the others complained.

“I hate homework.” Beethoven sighed. “Just for that, I’m gonna pound you.”

“Hey.” Mabel protested, which calmed Beethoven.

As they walked through the park, Dipper gave one more glance back at the shrubs. “What was that?” Dipper laid his question to rest as he left to enjoy a fine dinner at home.

Within the bushes stood a creature with gentle emerald eyes watching the kids head home to where they belong, with their families.
