The Universal Spookiness of Gravity Falls

Chapter 8: The Legend of the Gobblewonker 2 Electric Boogaloo Part 2

- Danny's P.O.V.

Well, this place looks kind of creepy. But that's pretty much the norm we deal with.

"Is everyone ok with their teams?" Connie asks.

Everyone agrees.

"Ok. So, Danny, Jazz, Dipper, Mabel and I will look for the Gobblewonker. Steven, Dani, Sam, Tucker, and Wendy will stay on the boat for both a getaway and a lookout." Connie explains.

I feel a tug at my shirt. I look to see Dani tugging at it. We quietly move away from the group. I turn to see if they saw us walking away. They haven't noticed from the looks of it.

"What's up?" I ask quietly.

"Why do I have to stay on the boat? I can protect myself from the monster." She quietly retorts.

"I know that, but we don't exactly know what we're dealing with." I state. "We just want you to be safe. I don't want to lose you again."

She looks away, annoyed. Her expression then changes to sadness. I guess she's accepting it.

"Alright. I don't like it, but I understand." She says calmly, "I hope you guys are careful."

"We will be." I say.

"If not, I'll fly over there. I won't hesitate." She says, jokingly.

"That won't be necessary...but I appreciate it."

"Danny, Dani, come over!"

We turn to see Tucker calling us over. We walk back to the rest of the group.

"What's wrong, Tucker?" I ask, clearly confused.

"Nothing's wrong, I just wanted to give you this."

He hands me a small, mechanical-looking pin.

"Stick it on your shirt." Tucker says.

"Alright."

I do as he says.

"Tracking device?" I ask.

"Tracking device." He confirms.

"It's so that we can make sure where you're at without worrying too much." Sam states.

"I don't think that's necessary, but if it helps, I'm fine with it." I say.

I really don't think it's necessary. I can just fly my way out if I get lost. The same can't be said for the others, though. I should be careful anyway, especially since it's foggy.

"We'll call you guys as soon as we get further in." Connie states.

"Actually, here." Sam says, as she hands over a walkie talkie, "Just in case."

"Thanks, Sam." Connie says.

"Alright, let's head out." Dipper chimes in.

We quickly get off the boat and start heading in. We turn on the flashlights on our phones and we quietly start looking around.

"So what does the creature look like?" Connie asks.

"It's a 100ft tall swimming dinosaur with really sharp teeth." Mabel explains.

Dipper opens his mouth, as if to correct Mabel again, but then closes it. He suddenly thinks about it.

"You know...she's not that far off." Dipper says in amusement, "It does kind of look like a dinosaur, and it does swim."

Looks like Dipper agrees with Mabel.

"A prehistoric creature? Well, that's new to us." Jazz states.

She's not wrong. We've dealt with old ghosts and such before, but never an actual living prehistoric creature. The thought of this is weird, but kind of cool. Dealing with something that isn't a ghost is kind of refreshing actually. Gravity Falls is definitely full of surprises.
