Irrational Treasure

*Priya's POV*

The twins, Grunkle Stan and I were heading into town for the day. We were driving there when we were suddenly caught in traffic, hearing Grunkle Stan grunt in annoyance.

The twins were sitting in the back of the car while I sat up front next to Stan, eating nachos. Mabel takes out two nachos from her bag as she sticks them on both her earlobes.

"Haha, nacho earnings! I'm hilarious!" Mabel says happily as I giggle and continue to eat my nachos.

"That's debatable." Grunkle Stan grumbles as he honks the steering wheel, clearly irritated at all of the traffic.

"Ugh c'mon, what's up with all this traffic." He huffs irritably, looking out at the street and noticed that it swarmed with pioneer wagons with horses pulling them, and well....pioneer everything.

"Oh no....not today! Not today!" Grunkle Stan suddenly yells, making me jump at his outburst. He presses on the gas peddle and tries to drive away from the people dressed up as pioneers. He stops when there were two women dressed up as pioneers in the middle of the street. He then puts the car in reverse and drives backwards, making the twins and I hold onto the seats tightly, eyes wide in shock.

"Grunkle Stan what's going on?!" Dipper questions fearfully.

"We need to get out of here! Before it's too late!" Grunkle Stan yells in panic.

"Wait why?!" I ask, alarmed. Stan then stops the car because there were pioneer wagons circling around us.

"Oh no! We are trapped! Nooooooo!!!" Grunkle Stan screams in agony, shaking his fist in the air with defeat. Then, a cow with a bell wrapped around it's neck comes towards Mabel's window. She draws closer to the window, admiring the cow, making her smile at me and Dipper.

"I have a good feeling about today." Mabel states, making me smile at Dipper.

~*~*~*~

The twins and I got out of the car and walked into the middle of town, looking around at all the pioneer themed decorations.

"Wow look at the town! It's all decorated!" I smile excitedly.

"Ugh Pioneer Day." Grunkle Stan grumbles, rolling his eyes as he walks up to us.

"Every year these yahoos dress up as pioneers to celebrate the day Gravity Falls was founded." He explains.

"Welcome to 1863!" Toby Determined says as he walks up to us, holding out a newspaper.

"I will break you little man!" Grunkle Stan threatens as he rolls up his sleeve and holds out his fist. Toby yelps and runs away, while tripping over a barrel and falling to the ground.

"Wow look! Candle dipping!" Mabel says excitedly.

"Woah gold panning." Dipper adds in awe. We also saw a man marrying a woodpecker (yes it's a bird I know), making Mabel tilt her head in confusion.

"Oh yeah I remember this. Dipper give me the journal." I told Dipper as he takes out the journal from his vest and hands it to me.

"Thanks." I say as I skim through the pages, searching for what I need. "Here we go. It says in Gravity Falls it used to be legal to marry woodpeckers." I explain to them, making Dipper smile at me.
