?─────??Hit With A Rock??─────?

I wondered how big the splash would be if I threw it. I looked out into the lake again. No boats, no birds, no swimming kids. Perfect. I raise the rock and throw it as hard as I can, hoping it gets far into the lake and splashes loudly. Instead when my ears are met with something else. Someone else.

"Ow!" I hear an unfamiliar voice cry out, followed by a sharp wince. I feel my blood run cold. I hit someone with a rock! And it was a pretty big rock!

"I-I'm sorry! I didn't see you, are you okay??" I stand up on the edge of the pier, looking for the person I accidentally hit. I see their head peek out of the water. When I do, I come to a small realization. The person I hit wasn't human!

I first took note of the dorsal fin, then my eyes met those of pure pupils. No iris, no white, just pupils. They did have a shine to them, but I couldn't read their expression from a distance. It was probably pain, that was a rock they got hit with.

I watch as the head dips under the water again, and a shadow moves closer to me through the water. I carefully sit back down as the creature swims up to me. I catch a glimpse of them under the water when they get close enough. Fins along their arms, webbed hands, legs as well as a large tail. Being an adventurer, you learn to take in details quickly. I think to myself out loud. "What kind of creature has legs and a fish tail?"

"One that is very upset right now." I hear that unfamiliar voice say pointedly. I look over to see them at the pierside, clinging to the post slightly. When my eyes connect to their pure, solidly black ones, their eyes widen slightly, and they look away. I couldn't get the time to properly read their expressions. I do catch as they clench their jaws, like to keep it from dropping. I had to do that a lot last year when around a certain redhead. I'm pulled from my observations, when I notice them rub the side of their head a bit.

I clear my throat a bit, not wanting my voice to crack at this crucial moment. I try not to seem intimidating, so I don't scare them off. 'Not like I can look intimidating anyways', I belittle myself while straightening out my sweater. "I'm sorry about that. I-I didn't see you out there... When I, you know," I carefully let out. I weakly smile at the creature as they nod slowly. I have too many pressing questions, but I wait for a moment. I can tell the creature is going to do something. Another skill you gain from being an adventurer.

"It's fine, I guess. I'll heal." The creature clears their throat lightly. "So... What are you doing at Lake Gravity Falls, Mystery Twin?" They say softly, still not looking up at me yet. I noticed them move their dorsal fin out of their face, it looked like hair almost. Like a side part.

"H-How do you know who I am?" I shrink back slightly. I didn't mean to, but it didn't end well the last time someone knew who I was without me telling them. I watch as the creature flinches slightly at me fleeing even the slightest bit. Almost like she was scared of me being scared.

"A-After the sky turned red and the Eye came, he called your name relentlessly, as well as calling for the other twin. You... You are Pine Tree. You and Shooting Star saved this place, and from what I can gather from listening to the fishermen, you saved the whole world with your sister." The creature finally looks up at me again, and I am lost in the pure darkness while I ponder what they said.

'The Eye? Red sky?' I thought to myself, holding my chin. This creature is talking about Bill! And Weirdmageddon! They're calling me by my symbol name though... I guess Bill never said our real names. My heart races as I anxiously answer. "My real name isn't Pine Tree, that's just what he called me. My nAme is Dipper PInes." I blush at the voice crack, turning away for a moment and clearing my throat. "M-My name is Dipper Pines." I say to them, half hoping the creature replies.
