"I'm your Gruncle Stan."

"Gruncle?" Abby asks. As my parent said, I could take one other person. I chose my best friend Abby.

"Great uncle." Says the smelly man in front of us.

"Great, now we're locked in this sorry excuse for a tourist trap." I snap as a strong red-haired man gives me a 200.00 and takes a horned bunny. I place the money in a cash register.

"Oh relax Cameron." says Abby. Cameron. that's my name. You don't know what my gender is, my age. I think you can guess my gender by now. If you guessed a boy, you are wrong. I'm a girl. Even though my name is spelled the boy way, I'm not a boy. But not a girly girl. When I was three I stared into the eyes of a full-grown pine snake and I was laughing.(A full grown pine snake is about eight feet long.) I've choked on a paintbrush, got green cough, at least I think that's what it's called.(Upper respiratory infection gone deadly bad) …long story short I've looked death in the eye and been to the hospital at least once every year of my life.(Exactly thirteen times.) I am an eleven year old girl with quite a few scars.

"Soos, Wendy, Cameron, and Abby." calls "Gruncle" Stan.

"Meet our newest employees." In front of me are two kids, a boy and a girl. The boy is frowning and is pretty serious looking. He's wearing grey pants, an orange t-shirt and a dark blue vest.

The girl seems the total opposite of the boy. She's smiling at us and has a sweater with a star and rainbow on it.

"Meet Dipper and Mabel. Uh, this is Abby, Soos, Wendy, and Cameron." Says Gruncle Stan pointing at us one by one. "Now get back to work!" He yells at the four of us. I turn away un-amused before saying "Welcome to child labor." I'm being a bit serious but whatever.

The day continues dully but then Gruncle Stan tells Dipper to go put some signs at the scary dark part of the woods. Dipper tries to argue but Gruncle Stan makes him go any way. Dipper leaves and Gruncle Stan decides someone else might as well go.

"Ok, Soos, go help Dipper." Soos seems pretty nervous looking so I volunteer. "after all," I say. "I did always explore the woods in Manahawkin."

I eventually find him nailing signs in some trees mumbling something about Gruncle Stan. He glances at me with surprise.

"What are you doing here?" He asks.

"Well Stan told me to come down here cause you looked pretty nervous to be going all alone so yea. I went."

Dipper puts a sign near a tree and bangs down the hammer. The tree makes a loud clang. Dipper and I gasp. He hits it again. The tree has to be made of metal. He finds a latch and opens the tiny door. Inside the tree is a little ancient machine thing with two tiny levers. He moves them and suddenly a trap door thing opens. A goat runs off, spooked.

"What the…?" Dipper mumbles. We look into the ditch to find a dusty old book covered in cobwebs. Dipper grabs the book and brushes away some dust.

"Number three…?" I gasp.

Dipper looks around and puts it on the ground. He opens it up and looks inside.

"It's had to believe it's been six years since I began researching the strange and wondrous secrets of gravity falls, Oregon." he reads

"Secrets?" I ask.

He begins flipping through the pages. "What is all this?" he asks.

"Weird." I respond.

"Unfortunately my suspicions have been confirmed. I'm being watched! I must hide this book before he finds it. Remember- in Gravity Falls there is no one you can trust! No one you can trust?" He asks.

"Does that mean I can't trust Abby?" I say.

"Well she's not from around here so-"

"Hello!" Yells Mabel.

"Oh my gosh!" I yell in surprise.

Abby and Mabel are sitting behind us. Dipper is having a panic attack by the looks of it.

"I hate you Abby." I gare.

"I know." she laughs.

"What ya reading, some nerd thing?" asks Mabel. I glare.

"Uh, uh, it's nothing!" says Dipper.

" 'Uh, uh, it's nothing!' " Mabel repeats laughing. "Are you actually not gonna show me?"

"Uh, let's going somewhere private." says Dipper looking down at the goat who is now trying to eat the book.
