Last Chapter-
A giant garage-looking door started lifting. Ford looked up at you, you couldn't see him clearly because he was so far down, but you could imagine his expression. Shock. You jumped down, in absolute fear, you feared what could happen to you. But you fell into a giant crater... This shouldn't kill you if you survived that...

You landed safely on the concrete floor. Mabel sighed a sigh of relief when she saw you. But of course, right now, there are bigger problems. Just in the nick of time, you jump out the door.
You landed on some stiff dry grass. Covered in tiny bits of sugar and dried-out taffy crumbles. You look to your side to see Ford, Dipper, and Mabel lying beside you. You jump up from fear, was all that real? You look up to see the giant factory. You walk over to it in suspense... You slowly put your hand forward to touch the walls, they still felt like something was wrong with the bricks. Wait... What if it's not bricks at all!? What if it's... Skin?..
You hear a shuffle of the grass behind you, you look back in a flinch only to see Ford questionably looking at you, "Y/N... D-did you... Did you save us from it?" You looked down, still touching the wall, and backed away slowly. You looked back at Ford, "I-I guess I did." Ford sighed and smiled in relief. You look behind Ford to see Dipper holding the journals tightly in his arms. And Mabel was trying to pick out the tiny little shards of hard candy intertwined in her sweater. "Is everyone feeling okay here!?" You question everyone. Ford stretched, "Well, my back didn't have a good impact from that fall..." You and the adventure group laughed together at Ford's comment.
"Well, I'm glad this is all over," You sighed happily. "Me too. Honestly, that was horrifying," Dipper brushed off some of the grass himself. Mabel muttered, irritated, "I can't believe I survived that. I mean- a CANDY TONGUE? But I might need a dentist appointment for my braces after this," Mabel sighed. I lightly laughed, you don't know where my mind was wandering, but it was nice to rest after a long weird adventure.
After all of that happens, you and the adventure group decide to go to Greasy's Diner. You see Pacifica, "Hi, welcome to Greasy's Diner... What do you want?" Pacifica sighed, she sounded annoyed and bored. She then looked at the table, "Oh, hello." You smile, "Hello Pacifica!" You were happy to see her, even if you didn't know her that well. Dipper spits out the water he was drinking, "Y/N!? You know Pacifica!?" Pacifica rolled her eyes at Dipper, "Yeah, I met her whilst shopping at the Mystery Shack." You nod and remember something, "Oh, I forgot to tell you! You're invited to Pacifica's beach party." Dipper's eyes widen, "Really?" Pacifica sighs and clicks her pen a couple of times, "Yeah, Dipper, Mabel, and Y/N... That's your name, right?.. Anyway, you're invited to the beach party I have planned for Saturday." She paused and clicked her pen a couple of times again, "So, what do you want?" "PANCAKES!" Mabel shouted in excitement.
"Saturday?" You nod to Dipper. "So, today is Tuesday? I believe?.. That's like four days away from now. We need to prepare for it, sunscreen- hold on- I forgot that you're new to Gravity Falls, we would need to get a bathing suit for you," Dipper thought out loud. You nod your head, "Yeah, I didn't pack one in my backpack since I was expecting to just rot away over time in this town." Ford stared at you, "That's a strange way to say it..." You sighed, "Not really, I was expecting to just survive on lawn mowing or something... Not getting friends, hanging out, and having fun," You jokingly chuckled. But, you did actually kind of mean it. Pacifica finally came by and served a couple of plates of pancakes, but then she also sat beside Mabel with her plate of pancakes. "Since the diner is not that crowdy today. I get to have my break early," Pacifica explained as she took a lazy bite of one of the pancakes.
Pacifica glanced at Grunkle Ford, who was sitting next to Mabel, and sighed, "I still can't believe that Stan has a brother." Dipper disappointedly stared at Pacifica, "Yeah, and you called him hot." Pacifica looked up at Dipper, insulted, "Excuse me? How dare you!? How was I supposed to know that Stanf- I mean Stanley- had a brother named Stanford?" Dipper rolled his eyes and looked down at his pancakes. Pacifica sighed and looked away from the adventure group with her arms crossed. Mabel shouts, "You still owe me a hundred gumdrops for having my face stolen!" Mabel sat back down and continued eating her pancakes as if nothing happened. "I have no idea what you guys are talking about," You inform blankly.
Mabel explains the situation with Mr. What's His Face to you. "Pacifica, how dare you steal one of the journals!? Just because of a wrinkle?" You sigh in disappointment and disbelief. And you keep on shoving pancakes into your mouth.
As the day went on, you grew tired and it became nighttime once again. You drag yourself to the Mystery Shack, I guess it's my new home now.
P.S. If you haven't seen Gravity Falls: Lost Legends (the comic made by Disney Press) (it's Gravity Falls canon), I recommend reading it because otherwise, you might not get some of these references and events (a comic dub is linked at the top) (and, it's also pretty fun, so you should check it out). I use Gravity Falls, Journal 3, Lost Legends, and the Gravity Falls WikiFandom for information. And that's how I try to stay canon-bound. I try to make this pretty much as it could happen in the show. Just imagine these events in the actual show, that's how I picture them. Okay, enough of my rambling. Have fun reading my creation. <3 (No, 3 isn't greater than my rambling. It is, in fact, a heart. Thank you for supporting my work.)
And sorry that this chapter is shorter than usual.
