//------------------------------// // 01) Tourist Trapped // Story: The Power of the Gravity Falls // by Gfmlp //------------------------------// Dipper and Twilight were happy to find more ponies, but at dawn Twilight remembered that she had another problem. That Stan sometimes showed it as an exhibition, but he didn't always do it to the relief of both of them. Sadly for Twilight, she couldn't spend much time with her friends as they had their respective jobs, but at least she could spend time with Dipper, Wendy, Soos, Apple Bloom, and Sweetie Belle. They then decided to ask Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle a question, as she liked to spend time seeing the attractions and tourists that were at Mystery Shack. “Hey you two, how is it possible that no one realized that you are not normal ponies? Especially you Sweetie Belle since you are a unicorn?" Asked Twilight. "Easy, people think we're normal ponies as long as we don't talk to strangers," Apple Bloom replied. “I just have to hide my horn with a hat and they immediately think I'm just a normal pony and I think because my sister and I are so close to the Northwest family, Stan doesn't even think about putting us like a attractions,” Sweetie Belle said. . Hearing all of that, Twilight made it a priority to get some kind of hat to cover her horn. Stan arrived and told them that they had to work, because a tourists truck arrived. Then he told them that they had to do other things. "Dipper you have to pin these signs to the trees to indicate the Mystery Shack," Stan told Dipper. "No, to something weird in that forest, I feel like they are watching me and the mosquitoes wrote this to me," Dipper said showing Stan that the mosquitoes had bitten him the word BEWARE. "Don't worry kid, paranormal things are invented by people like me for people like him," pointing to a tourist buying a souvenir. "I can accompany him, I think the same as Dipper about this town and I can also protect it with my magic," Twilight said. "Of course not, don't you see that more tourists than children are coming," said Stan. The two looked at each other and sighed, knowing that it was they had work to do. "As soon as I'm done, I'll go to the forest to help you Dipper," Twilight said a little nervous, because she knew that the forest was a dangerous and magical place. Dipper was glad that Twilight would come looking for him as soon as she finished and went to do his work. Stan stared at the two as they each went off to do their job and then sighed ruefully. "The two of them seem to have a very good relationship, almost as if they were brothers," Stan muttered to himself with some pity and then said. "But now that I think about it, their relationship seems to be more like dating." ... Dipper went to nail posters to the trees of Gravity Falls and when he was trying to nail the next poster, he felt that he was hitting the metal, he discovered that it was a fake tree with a secret compartment, which had a device that when used it opened a small hole in the ground that contained a red book, with a six-fingered hand, marked with the number 3. Dipper stared at the contents of the book, which talked about the creatures and abnormal things in Gravity Falls. In the beginning he headed ‘June 18’, then he continued writing ‘It’ s hard to believe it’s been six years since I began reserching the strange and wordrous secret of Gravity Falls, Oregon ’. It was full of creatures he had never imagined, codes and cryptograms. "What the heck is this?" Dipper wondered, until he reached the final pages of the Jounal that the author had written, which after a few nonsensical words appeared written 'TRUST NO ONE', and then said 'Unfortunately, my suspicions have been confirmed. I'm being watched. I must hide the book before HE finds it.’ and ended with the phrase ‘Remember, Gravity Falls, there is no one you can trust’. He was so attentive to what he was saying in Journal 3 that he didn't notice someone was approaching from behind. "What are you doing?" Twilight said that she had just finished helping Stan, glancing at Dipper that she had some kind of book. "It's kind of a diary documenting weird things about Gravity Falls," Dipper said proudly, then decided to show Twilight the diary, but before he did Gompers showed up and stole Journal 3 and ran away. Which left the two stunned for a moment and they suddenly ran off in pursuit of Gompers. ... They arrived where Gompers left the Journal 3 along with several things that Gompers had brought, but what surprised them the most was that they saw a yellow Pegasus with pink hair, when she saw them she tried to hide, but Twilight avoided it. Finally seeing her so scared, Dipper and Twilight decided to introduce themselves, and explain her situation. "Now you have been here for years," she said with absolute fear. "I only arrived in this forest yesterday." Which surprised Twilight and Dipper, they immediately tried to reassure her and then decided to go to Mystery Shack. ... When she arrived at the Mystery Shack, Fluttershy calmed down and began answering questions. Dipper and Twilight were surprised to learn that the first human they had seen was Dipper and that no one remembered someone named Twilight, Applejack, Apple Bloom, Rarity and Sweetie Belle, although he had heard about your families, but never heard that those families were they had lost a relative. Fluttershy was horrified to realize that it was possible that no one remembered her and she began to cry, doing so quickly the two began to comfort her and Dipper asked her a question that Twilight was surprised she had not thought about before. "Fluttershy, how long before the Summer Sun Celebration did you leave Equestria?" Dipper asked. "A little over two months," Fluttershy answered that unusual question with some hesitation. Fluttershy's response surprised both Dipper and Twilight, which left Fluttershy with even more doubt. Dipper and Twilight told and showed her about the series how her life would have been if they had stayed in Equestria. Fluttershy understood why they were worried about Summer Sun Celebration because it was the arrival of Nightmare Moon. And Fluttershy told the two that Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash were in Equestria, but he worried because he realized the dangers that were going to come to Equestria and since they were not there, no one was going to stop them. Fluttershy watched the first and second seasons of the series. Watching the interactions with the characters in the series, a question arose. "I have a question, because I haven't seen the pony named Maple on the show," asked Fluttershy. "Who the heck is Maple?" Twilight asked. "Maple is a Pegasus with a very similar personality to Pinkie Pie and she is also her best friend, she is also friends with Rainbow Dash and me, she likes animals, she likes knitting sweaters, she is an orphan and she is almost always happy, but the only times I can see that she gets sad is when they talk to her about family, especially siblings, ”said Fluttershy giving the two of them a description of her. Twilight was left wondering because she had never heard of Maple. Dipper wondered the same thing too, but that name sounded very familiar and the description reminded her of someone, but for some reason she couldn't remember. Dipper's thoughts were interrupted by screams. "Look there!" Apple Bloom said. "It just can not be! It's Fluttershy! " Sweetie Belle said. And Wendy didn't just talk she went to hug Fluttershy, then the Cutie Mark Crusaders ran to hug Fluttershy, pulling Dipper and Twilight out of their thoughts. ... After they decided to call Applejack and Rarity, they all agreed that she was going to stay at Rarity's store. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle said they had found someone who had information about unicorns, but she wanted to talk to Pacifica, so they went looking for her. Later Twilight and Dipper saw a man outside the Mystery Shack who moved very strangely. "What's your name?" Dipper asked. "Uh ... My name is Norman," said the person and staggered away from there. Dipper and Twilight looked at Norman suspiciously, but knew nothing about who he was. They saw it from the roof with caution, Dipper came up with the idea of ​​looking at Journal 3 and the two saw a page that talked about zombies and were scared to realize that they looked alike, both physically and also in the way he walked. "Zombies!" They both cried out in fear. In another part of the cabin was Stan and I heard the scream. “Did someone say krombies? Krombies what is that? Is it nothing? ”, Immediately removing the words he had just heard. Returning to the rooftop, Dipper looks at Twilight and says. "Hey, do you think that person is a zombie or I'm freaking out?" Dipper asked, somewhat scared. Twilight was also somewhat scared because she realized that Dipper might be right and before she could answer someone she answered Dipper's question, which made both of them freak out. "It's a dilemma for sure," Soos said, surprising both of them that he suddenly appeared there. "I couldn't help listening to both of you, I think there are strange things in town, for example I'm sure the postman is a werewolf, but you must have proof or everyone will think you're crazy." They both sighed and said at the same time, "You're right Soos." ... Dipper and Twilight watched Norman closely for a long time, until they saw that he turned to put the hand that and there they were both sure he was a zombie and went looking for him because thanks to Soos they knew where he was and that he was going to meet someone from the town of Gravity Falls, knowing what the two Wendy were going to do. He lent them the miniature golf cart and on the way they met Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy and decided to take them to stop the zombie. Then on the way she told them about the zombie who called himself Norman. "This can not be! Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom came to the store looking for Pacifica because someone named Norman knew about unicorns, ”Rarity said fearfully. Everyone upon hearing that was afraid that they were in danger. ... Upon arrival they discovered that Norman was a group of gnomes and they wanted to marry Pacifica to make her queen of her, which understandably he refused and by denying her they decided to kidnap her and force her to marry. "You are a group of liars and criminals," said Apple Bloom. Her sister supported what she said and everyone else supported her as well. "Of course we are not liars, there are actually unicorns in Gravity Falls, but they are bigger and arrogant," said a Gnome named Jeff. Everyone was surprised at such a statement but considered that it was more important to escape the Gnomes. And in the middle of trying to rescue Pacifica, Fluttershy was scared by all this, but she was shocked by Jeff's statement and suddenly a Gnome approached her. "Shmebulock," said the Gnome who approached him. "What was so strange about that unicorn?" Fluttershy said curiously. "Schmebulock," the Gnome repeated. "This can't be!" Fluttershy yelled. Everyone around him looked at each other, wondering what they were saying and immediately got back to do what they were doing. "Let's get out of here!" Dipper yelled. They all got in the golf cart and left. The angry Gnomes began to gather. ... "Dipper, you can hurry I want to get as far away from this forest," said Pacifica very angry about what happened, making Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom feel very guilty. "Don't worry Pacifica, she didn't see the size of those legs," Dipper said. "Dipper is right the Gnomes are much more harmless than the Bully that I faced at school," she said confidently Twilight, remembering when she gave a lesson using magic to those who did Bulling at Dipper's school. Then they felt a footstep of something huge, they realized that all the Gnomes had come together to make a giant Gnome, they accelerated and just reached the Mystery Shack, and used a leaf blower to defeat the giant Gnome. ... Upon entering the Mystery Shack, Stan saw Twilight and Dipper and he offered to give him something from the gift shop, Dipper chose a cap with a pine tree and Twilight also chose a cap to hide her horn and be able to go out more calmly to the city. Dipper with the other ponies present remembered a doubt and decided to ask. "Fluttershy, what you talked to that Gnome who only said Schmebulock?", asked Dipper, they all looked at Fluttershy because they were also curious about that question. "That Gnome said that this Jeff was telling the truth and recently he saw a strange unicorn," Fluttershy said. "How strange, maybe he was shorter than a horse," Applejack asked, believing that this Gnome seemed strange to him the size of them compared to the unicorns that he had seen. "No, he said that unicorn had wings," Fluttershy said. That statement surprised everyone. "They are saying that there is Alicorn in Gravity Falls, you have to look in the forest," said Wendy. "I also want to go but those Gnomes may be lying and we can't go to the forest yet because there must still be a lot of Gnomes nearby," said Twilight who also wanted to go. "Do not worry if there is an Alicorn we will find it, but we can not look for it now, also now we have Journal 3 that has a lot of information from Gravity Falls that can help us," said Dipper trying to lift his spirits, then he said. "But I think that now the first thing we have to do is sleep" They all decided to go home to sleep. ... Someone in the forest of Gravity Falls, saw and heard everything that happened secretly. "How pathetic ponies are, they have the ridiculous hope of finding an Alicorn," she said as she reentered the forest.
