Y/n "Pines" is shipped up to Oregon with her younger twin siblings to spend the summer in the small town of Gravity Falls. Soon to be a Senior in high school, Y/n has a lot on her plate- college applications, scholarships, worsening intrusive though...
I have returned with the promised ref! Hahaha I actually did it. Pog.

So yeah. This is how I've always pictured Y/n. The right is her normal outfit, and the left is her Mr. Mystery outfit she runs tours in. Hope you like it!
With that said, hope you enjoy this week's decently-long (I think it's pretty long. I don't remember I wrote this a little while ago) chapter. Share, vote, and comment if you'd like! Thanks for reading :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It had been just a couple of days since the Pines kids settled in from Piedmont. Since then, they and Stan had taken care of a couple of errands.
For starters, Stan and the kids settled on a work schedule. It was agreed that Y/n would work the morning tours, then Stan would take over the other half. This left the girl with plenty of time to work on applications. The twins would work a full shift in the shop but had plenty of breaks in between. Besides, once Y/n got off work, the twins did less and less of their jobs.
Stan had also taken the kids into town a bit, even if it was just for shopping and whatnot. The town was very small and didn't have much to offer, but it was a nice little cozy place; the type of town where everyone knew everyone.
While Y/n and Dipper weren't really entertained, Mabel was absolutely ecstatic. She had already put her Summer Romance Plan into full effect, terrorizing all the preteen boys she could find. On one occasion, while the family was out to buy a new mattress for Dipper because the "family goat" Gompers destroyed one of the previous ones, Mabel took particular interest in the preteen dressed as the king of the mattress store. The young girl's excitement got the better of her, and before any of them knew it, she had quickly scared the boy so bad that he refused to come out of one of the wardrobes in a bedroom set. Needless to say, after they got the mattress, Stan made sure to escort them out as fast and discreetly as possible.
Luckily, there weren't that many people in the town, which meant that when Mabel eventually scared off every boy in town, her Summer Romance schtick would (thankfully) come to an end. Dipper was a little happier about that fact; he thought Mabel was more enjoyable before her whole boy phase.
Y/n quickly learned that nearly everyone in town was quite a character. Even the town itself was rather odd and had a weird way of running.
In the first place, the police were rather subpar. The two cops that seemed in charge of the place, Blubs and Durland, weren't the most... qualified for their jobs. Don't get her wrong: they were absolute sweethearts and they seemed pretty nice. But they didn't really fit the bill to be wearing the sheriff's badge. But then again, in such a small town she doubted they ever had any large cases to work on.
Secondly, some of the businesses were completely whack. In one of her favorite examples, she learned that the mattress place they had visited earlier used to be a laser tag place. That information alone wouldn't mean much, but the kicker? Down the street, there was a laser tag place that used to be a mattress shop. When she asked Stan, he said that they started up around the same time. Maybe there was some business explanation behind it, but she couldn't help but get a little chuckle from that. Some part of her tired brain found a little joy.
