Three days had past, and now I'm leaving Boston. I had to say I enjoyed my time with Wendy, and her cousin. I was now standing in front of Wendy saying my good byes.

"Be safe, and don't forget to say *hi* to my bros."

"I won't."

We both hugged, and I went into my Rv and drove off. Gravity falls, home of any magical creature, beside Greece. I continued to drive, until I passed a sign saying. Thanks for visiting!

----3 hour drive later

I found a sign written Welcome to Gravity falls! I drove into a small town, pretty old school looking. I went to and empty lot, and stepped out. It was 11 in the morning, and my stomach was growling. I remembered passing through a diner while back, I took my wallet and set off.

After 15 minutes of searching, I finally found the odd, log designed diner. I went in, and I immediately smelled the aroma of food. I went to sit on the counter, there weren't much people here, just some weird hobo dude, and two cops sipping coffee.

"Hey there!" greeted a fat woman, who for some reason has her left eye closed. "Welcome to greasers diner, what can I get ya?"

"Well, I don't really know the menu." I said sheepishly.

She then hands me the menu, and I browse the list.

"I'll take your special egg pie." I said. "Sure thing." she said writing it down.

I gave the menu back and waited. Then I hear the diner bell ding, and someone sat next to me.

"Hey there Pacifica! Gonna have the usual?" the woman asked, "Yes, thank you lazy Susan."

I glanced and saw a teen about my age, long blonde hair, peach skin, wearing a pink shirt, a skirt and jeans.

She glances at me, and I looked away.

"Hey..." she called out.

I looked back at her.

"Hello I'm Pacifica, I'm guessing your new here?" she asked extending her arm. "Yeah." I shook it.

"Well here's your egg pie sir..."

"Roderick." I said. "Roderick! And your blueberry pie for you miss Northwest." she said placing our orders down. "Lazy Susan, there's no need to be formal." they both giggled.

I just laughed at them silently, and took a piece of my pie. I was just eating silently, when the Pacifica girl spoke.

"So, Roderick where you from?" she asked chewing from her pie. "Um, Portland." I answered.

"Okay, what brings you to our little town?"

"Um, wandering around. Sight seeing and stuff." I said taking another bite. "On a school year?" she asked.

"I skipped a few grades." I said. "Really? So what career are you in?"

"Computer programming." I said finishing my pie. "You?"

"I live here, and my parents are the founders of the town so..."

"Really? So your rich and stuff."

"Yup." she looks down.

"Say, is there any chances  you know Wendy Corduroy?" I asked. She looks at me, "Yeah, you met her?"

"Yeah, she's really great." and she giggled a bit. "Yeah, she's awesome." she says looking up. "You miss her?"

"Yeah, she's kinda like a big sister." she says. "Hey, you want a tour?" she offered.

"Uh, yeah sure. Thanks." I said thankfully.

We stood up, we paid our food and went off. Pacifca was being my tour guide around town, showing me land marks, historical locations, etc. Finally we stopped at seem to a giant triangle house with sing on it. It was called the MYSTERY HACK, but there was a giant S on the Ground so I guess it's mystery shack.

"This is the world famous mystery shack!" Pacifica exclaims. "I can see that." I said pointing at the world famous sign.

We stepped into the gift shop, and saw a bunch of over priced junk. I looked around the old place, it looked like it could fall apart at any moment.

"This, is world famous?" I asked as I saw poorly made attraction of Skunk beaver high breed thing. The skunk head fell off. "Eh, more or less." Pacifica says.

"Welcome!" some old dude in a suit and eye patch jumped in front of me. "Ahh!" I jumped and punched him.

"Stan!" Pacifica ran to the old man's side. I kneel beside them. "Oh gosh! I'm so sorry-" I got punched in the face.

"There, now were even." the grumpy old dude said. "Stan!" Pacifica chastised.

I rubbed my jaw. "Nah, I deserve it." as I stood up.

I helped the old man up, and he dusted himself. Afterwards he glares at me.

"Who's the runt?"

"I'm right here ya know." I said annoyed. "Yeah yeah."

"Stan be nice, his new around here." Pacifica explained. "I newbie huh? Got any interest in jobs?"

I stared at him confused. "Jo-what?" "You know work and stuff." he says nonchalantly.

"Like work for you?" I asked, and he nods. "Eh...I don't know, I'm not really searching and-" "Just think about it kid." he says and walks away.

"What was that?" I asked. "His just looking for some employees, it's been hard since his old ones moved away."

"Okay...well got anywhere else to explore?" I asked, "Well there's the library, but still need to head home. School day remember?" she says.

I nodded and went of the tourist wreck. We said our goodbyes and parted ways. I was walking back to my RV, I near the lot when I saw a faint light on a corner of a building. I tilted my head curios and went to the light. I followed it, and saw an alley emitting the light.

I sneaked, and took a peak with my head. I saw an angel, in white robes and it's wings spread out. He was looking down at a poor old beggar, whose clothes were ragged, and slept on a flatten box.

I stayed at the corner peaking as I watched what happened. The angel kneel down, and touched the old man's cheeks. The man glowed, and it's soul stood up, away from it's body. The old rag stared at the angel astonished, the angel put both hands ion front.

The man took them, and the angel wings covered them selves. Then the clouds ripped open, and the wings glowed, and they turned into orbs and they twirled around to the light like they were dancing. Beautiful, it was.

I continued to watch as they descended to the sky, and the light fades along with them. I stood there, aw struck and walked away. It's not everyday I get to witness heavens work, I have to say they got style.

I went back to my RV, and stepped inside. I went to my mini fridge and took out a bottle of water, I opened it and took a sip. I turned around, closing the fridge with a kick of my foot.

I jumped when I saw a floating yellow triangle in front of me. No it's not Bill, but it is a message from him. I put my water down, and tapped on the triangle. It first started to translate the message then when it was done a read it.

Oblitus my friend, need a little favor. You gotta go to Gravity falls oragen and stay there until further instructions, why? Just trust me, I'm in quit a pickle so I'll explain it some other time okay? Great cause I have plan on doing so!

Your friend Bill.

I blinked a few times, if he has no plan on telling me, then why-you know what, I don't care. But why would he want me here? I just shrugged and sat down, I guess I'll have to take that job at the tourist wreck after all.
