THE RIVALRY BEGINNING Elle H (EPHtheCoder) x Bill Cipher (But Not Quite)

1: Travels

ELLE'S POV:

Me & Preston were best cousins forever, in fact best coder cousins forever. Through thick & thin, we'd always be together to hear every new little thing or story. We were just coming back to our dimension from the deep caves of the Minecraft dimension. Preston's cubic portal back home worked like a charm.

At least we thought.

When the end of the vortex opened up to what we assumed was our location, we landed in what seemed to be another part of the Earth.

My name is Elle (pronounced Ellie), I'm 11 now, still wearing a blue long-sleaved shirt, green capris, & purple sneakers.

My cousin Preston is 8 now, still shorter & wearing a yellow shirt, orange shorts, and green sneakers. This time, he was wearing his serious glasses over his blue eyes & a hat on his blonde hair.

The sunlight through the trees of the surrounding forest gleamed on Preston's light face & my light brown face.
We walked around this place still trying to figure out what this is & how far we are from home.

PRESTON'S POV:

This place seemed so...familiar......

Like from a show I'm watching.............

But I could be wrong.
A coder never gives up Elle says, so we start to split up to investigate where we truely are. Right when I stepped on something, a camouflaged door opened on a nearby tree. Inside the little compartment was filled with spiders, webs,  and....a book.

A journal! It's true! We're here!
But how did this journal end up back here? Oh well, I definitely know where we are!

Me: Elle! Come here!

Elle comes rushing towards me despite how slow she is compared to me.

Elle: What's up?

I pick up the journal with the red cover, golden edges, a golden hand with 6 fingers on it with a 3 on it.

Me: We're in Gravity Falls, Oregon. Remember that show I showed u, called "Gravity Falls"?

Elle: Yeah? Holy crap, it's real?

Me: Duh, it's real! & I found The 3rd journal!

Elle: Awesome!

Me: I better bring this along with me to find some secrets we might've missed.

Elle: Cool.

The woods was still all around us & I knew our home state was some states away, as coders we could just zoom or fly our way home.

(3 minutes later...)

3 minutes of woods & surprising no Mystery Shack.

Maybe I took a wrong turn.

It felt like Elle wasn't following me anymore, I looked behind me & she wasn't there. Quickly, I ran the other way.

Me: Elle! Elle, come on! Where r u?

In a little piece of open land, I see her staring at a statue.

Oh no, it isn't is it?
OH. NO.
Let's just hope nothing bad happens.

ELLE'S POV:

That statue...it was...interesting....I couldn't keep my eyes off it. It was about half my height, it was a stone statue & it had little crackles on the edges. It was an equilateral triangle with a wide-eyed eyeball with a snake-eye pupil & 4 eyelashes on the top & bottom. It had a bowtie & a skinny top hat on top of the triangle. It had 2 little skinny legs & 2 skinny arms, one of them was led out for some reason as if it wanted to grab or reach something. After I had a pretty accurate gaze at the figure, I turned back to Preston.
