Twilight looked out at her city being destroyed and sighed deeply. 

“Don’t worry, guys.” Rainbow Dash said, trying to be hopeful. 

“How can we not worry?” Pinkamena asked through her tears. “The world is over, Dashie. Just admit it.”

“Twilight will think of something. Right, Twi?” Applejack asked. 

Twilight didn’t move. “Not this time.” she said. “Nothing-not even the Elements if we had them-could save us now. Pinkamena is right: it is the end of reality.”

Back in Gravity Falls


Dipper watched as Mabel glued more pictures into her scrapbook. He would have been looking through the third journal, but after Giffany had come to life and tried to destroy Melody and Soos, he was kind of finished with mysteries for the next few days. 
Mabel giggled and glued in a picture of Dipper running in fear of the living animal robots.

Dipper sighed out of boredom and flopped onto his bed. “I probably shouldn’t do this.” he said, and reached for the journal. 
He read into his coat to grab it, but it wasn’t there. “Mabel.” he said, starting to panic. “Have you seen-” He looked over at his sister, who was lying on her stomach on the ground, looking through the journal. 

“Dipper, come check this out!” she said. He walked over to her. She was looking at a page he didn’t know even existed. 
On the page there was a picture of a mirror. On one side of the mirror there was a city with people walking through the streets. One the other side there were animals that looked like ponies. They each had on cloaks and looked like they hadn’t had sleep in a long time. 

Dipper grabbed the book from her and read the writing out loud. 
“During my investigations of gravity Falls, I have seen many different dimensions, but none like this. There are horses there, but not like the kinds we see. These ponies have tattoos on their flanks that indicate their personality. The world is filled with mythical beats and is always in danger.”

Dipper smiled. “Mythical beasts?” 

Mabel grinned. “Ponies? Dipper, does it say how to activate that portal?” 

Dipper sighed. “Mabel, I don’t know if we should. It says here that it’s always in danger. And even if those mythical beats sound cool, I don’t want to be eaten alive.”

“Please, Dipper?” she begged. “Can we at least activate it and then look at the ponies? Not even go in? Please, please, please, 
please, please?” 

Dipper groaned. “Fine, but just a peek.” 

“Yes! It’ll be just like Pony Heist! Remember that, Dipper?” 

Dipper smiled, remembering how the two of them, along with Stan and Soos, had broken into the movie theater after being banned.
