Something weird was going on.
It was hardly uncommon to brand anything in Gravity Falls as weird, teeming with oddities galore. But this couldn’t have been the result of just an everyday, paranormal misadventure. Walking to work, the day had started just like any other-- up until she caught sight of the shack, swarming under investigative surveillance. She turned around without a second thought. If that wasn’t enough, it wasn’t very long after that practically everything in town was tossed from the face of the earth. Sailing up like a batch of released balloons-- and thrown back down with far more force. From afar she could hear car alarms blaring, panicked screams, the thundering rumble of buildings caving in on themselves. It was straight madness. The town was silhouetted in black against an uncannily vibrant red sky; a place she’d known as home for so long had somehow transformed into something out of a jacked up horror movie.
Fortunately, all she’d gotten from falling were a few scrapes and bruises. Perching herself down on an overturned tree trunk, she bandaged a cut on her knee-- taking a moment to catch her breath and rub the back of her head. She sat there debating with herself on what she should do. Maybe look for her dad and brothers? Make sure they were okay? Or even stop by the shack to try and get some answers... Her internal debate came to a hasty conclusion when she noticed Dipper ambling off down the path by himself... looking more conflicted and nervous than usual. He seemed to be in such deep thought that she wasn’t sure if he even noticed her sitting there yet. Clearing her throat, she waved an arm to try and get his attention.
“ Hey, Dipper? ” Part of her wanted to bombard him with questions about what happened-- but, in courtesy of his distraught state, she found herself feeling more concerned for his well-being. There was something heavy on his mind... she could see it crystal clear from where she was sitting a few feet away. “You all right?”
