And Then Gravity Fell.

In the Woods

Dipper sat alone in the woods with his eyes staring wistfully at the sky above him and his hands slightly clutched. He had been sitting on the edge of a an old log. his hands were gripping onto the small patches of moss, struggling with his thoughts. Why'd you do it Mabel? You know how much I hate it when you bring that up!

Back at his home town, he wasn't exactly the most popular person there. Probably even less than in Gravity Falls. The other children had always found either is introverted personality annoying, his intelligence overwhelming, or his obsession with the supernatural odd. Plus, he couldn't even count how many times he had been teased for his strange birthmark or how slightly wimpy he was.

"Ugh..." Dipper muttered as he began to bury his face into his arms. Whenever it was brought up, he always felt like just tearing himself open. Not only that, but he always felt like it was his own fault for all of this. Sometimes he actually wished he wasn't so smart or interested in the paranormal. Sometimes he even wanted to be like his sister. How she could simply go out there and do all that kind of stuff everyday escaped him. He couldn't even talk to at least one person without the strong need to go have some time to himself. Sometimes i just want to...to...

Something rustled in the bushes. Very loudly too. Dipper immediately sprung to his feet and darted his eyes back and forth. He cringed in anticipation and held his breath. It only took a few seconds for him to ease up and straighten himself. "Come on, Mabel. I know you're there!"

Nobody answered. Dipper walked forward a few feat and raised his eyebrows.

"Mabel! I know you. You're gonna pounce on me and send me flying and tickle me any minute now."

There was still no response. A couple of footsteps were heard. Except they sounded off. They made clop sounds, as if a hooved creature had been there. And then it hit him. He was being watched by a monster.

It could just be a deer. It's probably a deer. He thought. But mere curiosity had bewitched him yet again. He braced himself and walked carefully forward as the feeling of intensity overflowing.

More hoofsteps were heard. It's getting closer. The boy began to tremble slightly and he gulped. His hands reached for the lush green bushes that sat in front of him.

WHAM! Dipper was struck by an unknown force and was slammed down on the ground. Something had pinned him down. His back and chest ached terribly as he was pushed down under the weight of an unknown creature. It took him a loud yelp out of both shock and pain to get him to look upwards at the very thing that had knocked into him. Above him, he saw the legs and the body of the animal and it had appeared to be completely coated in bright purple. Surprisingly, it began to slowly back off of him.

He slowly got up too and began to dust himself off. Parts of his body still hurt badly. He raised his head to get a good look at the mass of purple.

It was something very horse-like, except for a lot of things. The multicolored skin obviously, but it also had a great big face full of expression, which at the moment was filled with fear and confusion. It's teeth were gritted and it's eyes were extremely widened. Speaking of the eyes, they were huge! They were mostly black, but they had a beautiful ray of lilac circled around them. It was almost as if the gorgeous time in between sunset and noon when the sky would be slightly violet colored had been sucked into it's pupils.

"Oooh my gosh.." Dipper whispered. It was all so sudden and surprising. He just didn't know how to react. It didn't take him long to notice the billions of twigs and leaves sticking out and tangled within its mane and tail. There were a few bruises on its legs and the bottoms of its hooves were covered in dirt. What happened to you? Dipper wondered. He began to approach the equine, but out of complete fear, it jumped backwards and out sprang a gigantic pair of wings from it's back.

Dipper stumbled backwards again, but he didn't get up as he was in awe of the feathery wings that were displayed in front of him. He shook his head to snap out of it and stood up. Before he attempted to touch it again, he whispered "Shh, it's okay. Not gonna hurt you. Gonna fix you up."

The creature flinched as he pulled out all of the plants and sticks nestled into it's hair, but in the end it was worth it. One by one, he cleaned it all out. Suddenly, something had caught Dipper's eye. On top of it's head was a horn that stuck out. It's like a unicorn...but it also has wings for some reason. But then, all of that was interrupted when the head it belonged to lowered itself to free it.

"Hm..." Dipper said. Out from his vest, he pulled out that red old journal he constantly used and sat back down on the log. He turned through the pages, searching endlessly. Unfortunately, the book had said nothing about creatures like that. New addition, I guess.

Before he could get up to leave, he couldn't help but stare at the poor thing. He'd seen how helpless it looked and he felt incredibly bad for having to leave it there. "So...i guess this is goodbye?"

He turned away and faced right, thinking of all the things he'd right about. Violet fur, expressionful face, sparkly eyes, wings, nubby horn...

More trotting noises were heard behind him. Quickly, he faced back and saw the defenceless equine had wanted to follow him. "Ah, jeez." Dipper sighed, but he couldn't help but smile warmly.

6066369 I highly recommend GF. It's even my favourite show of all time. It's interesting, dark, and the writing and characters are amazing. Dipper is actually my fav fictional character (Tied with Wirt from OTGW).
