Third persons POV

•Dippers Room•

Dipper twitched.

He knew he had slept through the night in his seat. He knew that his was slouched on his desk with his neck stiff but he disregarded this. His mind even in his sleep like haze went back to his speculations, just a few hours ago. Finally he decided that it was time to wake up.

He sat up in his seat , with his stiff back cracking in this motion. He stretched his arms above his head attempting rid of the other stiffness in his joints. As he heard the satisfying cracks he breathed out a sigh of relief. He stood up then staggering slightly to his bed , he sat down and reached out for his phone on the nightstand.He pressed the power bitten then checked the time.

8:30 am

Dipper froze. He blinked once, twice, he then abruptly stood up, the bus to Piedmont will be here at 9 and he hasn't even packed. Dipper scrambled to get his backpack. When he found it leaning on his door he quickly snatched it. Dipper then picked up most of his clothes, he was planning on leaving the others for next summer.

He then went to his messy desk and dumped the notebook, where his notes were including a few pens. Dipper froze for a second noticing the mysterious book from yesterday, he contemplated to bring it or not. It could be a part of this mystery so he also dumped it into his bag.

He supple checked everything , when he confirmed that he did not forget anything he slung his back on his back then looked at his phone again , which he somehow unconsciously put in his pocket.

8:50 am

He still got 10 minuets to get to the bus stop. He then ran to the door, when he was just above the stairs he heard a familiar yell.

"Bro-bro hurry up or we'll miss the bus back!!!" Mabel yelled from outside judging from the slight muffle in her voice. I'm which dipper answered with a ' WAIT UP MABEL! Im coming' He grumbled the last part.

When he reached outside after shutting the door he was greeted by the annoyed faces of his Grunkle and the happy faces of his friends. He slightly smiled at his friends but that smile immediately turned to a frown when he looked at his blood related family.

" Come now dipper" Ford said power walking to the bus stop with him an the other following behind him.

When they arrived at the stop , they were just in time to see the bus temporarily park. After happy goodbyes and promises to return the young Twins they boarded the old bus.

•In the bus•

Dipper sat by leaning on the  window while his sister was listening to music with her earphones.

Dipper drifted to the solitude of his mind , going back to his earlier thoughts, that is until he fell asleep.

=Time skip=

Dipper woke as the bus jolted with a halt. He then sleepily rubbed his eyes. He looks out of the window now noticing the sign he was accustomed to for years. He was finally back to Piedmont.

Sighing Dipper looked at his half asleep sister and touched her shoulder to shake her awake. But that thought went down the drain as his sister suddenly slapped him. Hard. The *clack* of the motion resounding throughout the now empty bus.  Dippers head went to the side at the sudden force on his cheek.

The male reached out to his bruising cheek but immediately retracted with a grimace as he felt the painful sting. Small tears gathered up in his eyes as he looked at his sister. She had a angry look on her face as she stared at him, that didn't change for a few seconds as she looked at him. Finally she spoke.

" Don't startle me like that. Ok Bro-bro?"  She looked at her brother with a cheerful face.

Dipper could only nod as he heard his sister sickeningly sweet voice cheerfully saying that with an underlying threat. He didn't know when she started to be like this and he didn't like it .

Mabel nodded in return an silently beckons her shaking brother to stand and follow her. Dipper complied to the command and followed his sister out of the bus. When Mabel started to try and hail a cab Dipper stared at his sister thoughts swirling and turning like clockwork.

With a heavy heart he knew that he had to log this event for this mystery, even though it stung his heart to be reminded of this event. Dipper was thrown out of his reverie when Mabel starts to drag him roughly inside the cab.

When they were inside Mabel said their address and the driver nodded in return. And only one thought was swirling in dippers jumbled mind.

This is going to be an eventful                year
