Story Summary: What would happen if the Crystal Gems had settled down in a place other than Beach City, a little backwoods town just west of weird…? What if, upon coming to Gravity Falls for the summer, Dipper and Mabel were to befriend Steven and Connie? What kind of magical, mysterious adventures would they have? And, how would they fare against the combined threats of merciless Homeworld Gems and a certain triangular demon?
Chapter Summary: After uncovering a conspiracy about the alleged founder of Gravity Falls, the kids set out to unravel a historical mystery... and to prove the snobbish Pacifica Northwest wrong.
For as small of a town as Gravity Falls was, it usually didn’t take very long for Stan to head in, finish any errands he needed to get done, and head out. For today’s quick trip to the grocery store, he decided to bring Dipper and Mabel along with him. A decision he soon came to regret upon getting caught up in traffic for what seemed like the tenth time in a row.
Even so, the twins hardly minded the delay as they shared some nachos in the back seat. Mabel helped herself to two chips, fixing them to the studs on her ears to invent an entirely new type of jewelry altogether.
“Nacho earrings!” she proudly proclaimed, laughing. “I’m hilarious!”
“That’s debatable,” Stan sneered. His aggravation only spiked as he found himself forced to slam on his car’s breaks yet again. “Come on, what’s with all this traffic?! And why is it all… covered wagons?” He paled in sudden horror as he watched a horse-drawn wagon slowly pass by. “Oh no,” he panicked, throwing the car into reverse. “No! No! Not today!”
