The Universal Spookiness of Gravity Falls

Chapter 1: How Did We Get Here?! Part 2 (Steven's P.O.V.)

A/N: I do not own the picture above. It's all CN's property.

How on Earth did I end up in another Gem-related situation?! I didn't even know there were still corrupted gems left, and in Gravity Falls of all places!

I'm sorry, you're probably confused.

My new friends and I are getting chased by a corrupted gem and I just drove us off a cliff!

I should probably explain a little bit better. And I should probably introduce myself first.

Hi, I'm Steven Universe. And I'm 16, almost 17, years old. I've been traveling the U.S. for a while now.

"Gravity Falls, Oregon?" I asked.

"Yeah. It's a small place that you can stop at for the summer." Connie said.

I was driving closer to Oregon while talking to my girlfriend, Connie, over the phone. I had traveled to some parts of the U.S., but I never really stayed over an extended period of time. Connie was suggesting that I stay somewhere for the duration of Summer.

I agreed since it would be nice to take a break from traveling. I also thought about getting a job since it would be nice to earn some money. Even though I don't have to necessarily worry about money, I still want to earn some myself. After all, I am trying to live as a normal person.

"That sounds like a good idea, Connie." I responded.

"Hehe thanks." She said while giggling, "Besides, this gives me the chance to visit you more often."

"It does. I'm so excited."

"Alright, I'll talk to you later. Bye Steven."

"Bye Connie."

The phone hung up and I sighed. I hadn't seen Connie in a while and I've been missing her nonstop.

I continued to drive until I reached Gravity Falls. The scenery was so much more different than Beach City's. It seemed so cozy and rustic.

While driving through, I stopped by a few places on the way. One of those places was a small diner that had a one-eyed waitress working. One-eyed in the sense that one of her eyes was permanently closed.

Anyway, I ended up driving further into the forest. I noticed a bunch of signs talking about a Mystery Shack? I got curious and I decided to drive to it.

Once I finally arrived, I saw that other people were there too. I assumed they were other tourists. I decided to join them and wait. It didn't take too long for a guy in a suit and a fez to show up.

"Welcome to the the Mystery Shack, dudes." He said.

He continued to explain that he was going to give us a tour. I was so interested in what he was talking about. There was just something about this place that drew me in. Maybe it was the weird energy? Whatever it was, it made me feel less of an outcast.

Back in Beach City, I often had that feeling. Not fully human, but not fully Gem either. However, I've been treating myself to the the human side of me for a while now, and its been great! Even my therapist could see the improvement in me.

Anyway, there were so many things I saw in the tour. It was so interesting and bizarre.

After he finished the tour, we all ended up in the gift shop. I got to take a look at my surroundings. Then I finally saw some shirts that looked nice.

"Connie would probably like this." I thought.

I picked up the shirts and I got a call soon after.
