Well the year is almost over and a new story up and running. Yes, it is another reaction story but this time it is about a sleepy little town on Oregon called Gravity Falls. To tell the truth I have been wanting to do a Gravity Falls reaction story for a while now and a friend Wolfpackersson09 once again all but begged, or actually begged I'm not sure, of a reaction to his newest story.
Now this won't be the only Gravity Falls reaction story but I will be doing something different this time. I will do a few Gravity Falls stories I want to make reactions for but the reactions will be their own story entirely. Reason being one story is over 67 chapters and counting and the fact I want to do something different. This will be a series but the different stories will be apart. But enough of that, let the crazy and charm of Gravity Falls commence.
Disclaimer; I do not know the wonderful series called Gravity Falls nor the story I am reacting to. The story is made by Wolfpackersson09 and shadowwriter329. I hope the characters are as close to cannon as possible and the reactions would be close to it.
Gravity Falls Dimension Files: Gravity Falls for Devils
Prequel
Under the Mystery Shack lays a hidden bunker which at one point in time held a giant portal which could lead to multiple dimensions. It was dismantled at the moment and not a soul could be seen throughout the bunker. However, the light by the door turned on and the door slid open allowing several people walk inside. One is an elder male with gray side streaks, glasses and six fingers on his hands and the other two were a pair of twins around the age of twelve.
"Thank you again for helping me Dipper, Mabel" Ford said to them after they entered the bunker.
"Not a problem great uncle Ford" Dipper said.
"Yeah, we didn't have anything to do anyways," Mabel added looking over the machines and the different readings, "So what science-y experiment do you need us to help with?"
Ford chuckled, "No nothing like that. Even if I was I would never do it on my niece and nephew. No I just need help cleaning out some of the things here in storage."
"What kind of stuff?" Dipper asked.
Ford shrugged, "Looks like most of the stuff I had around the house and down here before the accident. It's harmless but I feel much better if we have them somewhere where they can be dispose of properly."
"Why's it all down here?" Mabel asked when Ford opens a door to the side and it was filled with cardboard boxes.
"Turns out Stanly was keeping my stuff down here," Ford explained. "I'm just surprised he didn't just throw this stuff away."
"And he's okay with us helping you?" Dipper asked, surprised by the motion.
Ford thought back to his last talk with his twin brother.
(flashback)
"What'd yea need Point-Dexter?" Stan asked his brother when the man walked into the kitchen that very morning. "Breakfast isn't ready yet."
"I know I wish to talk," Ford said simply. "I dismantled the portal."
Stan rolled his eyes, "I'm sure you're happy."
Ford sighed, "I'm glad I was finally to destroy that machine. It was one of my biggest mistakes." He shook his head, "But I was also going through the basement and noticed a room that is being used for storage."
Stan shrugged, "Yeah I put some of your stuff there. Anything that didn't give me a clue of how to activate the portal or to where those journals were hidden, I placed there so they would be out of the way and so nobody would get hurt."
Ford hummed, seeing Stan's logic even if just a little. "I'm surprised you didn't throw it all away."
Stan said nothing and didn't give any sort of hint for his reasons. The truth was he couldn't just throw it away. Even the harmless things and files he didn't have the heart of destroy or throwing out since they were the last of his brother's things. Even if they were no use he couldn't do it. "Anyway what's your point?"
Ford raised a brow before he said, "I want to go through them and hopefully get rid of some of it. I wish to have Dipper and Mabel to help me out."
Stan turned to his brother and narrowed his eyes. He didn't have a problem of Ford getting rid of any of the stuff since it was rightfully his. But he had another issue with the idea, "you guys aren't going to get into anything dangerous are you?"
Ford shook his head, "No I did a quick check and nothing that seems dangerous. Even so I promised I will send them away if we do find anything that could harm them."
Stan thought it over before he finally sighed, "alright you can ask them. Just remember your promise."
(flashback ends)
Ford knew that he had some issues to work out with his brother but he knew he really cared about the kids. Part of him was glad to see a good part of his brother rather than the man that took his name and endangered the world. "He's fine with it. Everything we're looking through down here is harmless."
"So what's all this?" Dipper asked as they started to shift through the boxes.
"Files?" Mabel asked seeing what was in the box she had.
"Mostly experiments," Ford explained glancing at the box. Mostly things I didn't add to the journals.
"Like that carpet that switches people minds?" Mabel asked shivering as did Dipper.
Ford blinked at this "Oh yes I forgotten about that thing. I think it should still be in my study."
"No it isn't," Dipper said. Seeing the questioning look Ford gave him he explained, "Mabel and I switched bodies and so did Soos and Waddles."
Ford winced at this, "My apologies you two. Living alone for so long I didn't have much worry so I left it there."
"We forgive you," Mabel said wanting to get out of the subject of that day. She opens another box and found something else that didn't seem boring to her, "Hey! Check it out! I didn't know you were a movie buff Great uncle Ford."
"Well I am a fan of the Star Wars movies," Ford admitted heading towards Mabel, "And I still have to see the prequels that Stan told me they got around into making. But I wouldn't call myself a movie buff." He looked at a box filled with several cased film reels, "My goodness I forgot all about these."
"What are they?" Dipper asked picking on of the cases up. He saw it has a series of numbers and letters on it, almost like serial numbers, "recordings of your research?"
Ford hummed thinking of how to explain. "Well yes and no. You recall I worked with Fiddleford on creating the portal correct?"
"Yeah," Dipper said, "Then he got sucked in for a few seconds a quite the project."
"Then he tried to erase his memory, formed a new cult and went crazy," Mabel added remember that mystery and adventure."
"Precise-wait what?" Ford started before he processed what Mabel said.
"Long story," Dipper explained "But you were saying?"
Ford frowned but decided to come back to the topic later. "Anyways, Fiddleford and I didn't start building the portal right away. At least not the full scale one that we went through. We experimented and focused on a smaller scale first. We were focusing more of not breaking the barrier between dimensions but to see pass it. The same idea of learning to crawl before you can walk."
"Makes sense," Dipper added seeing the logic behind the move, "So what happen?"
"Did these come out of it?" Mabel asked holding a film case up.
"Well we made a working viewing portal, no bigger than an average TV." Ford continued, "and was able to give us an image of a different world. We couldn't put anything through it but we could see the world as if we were simply watch a TV show. After the experiment was a success we started work on creating the portal. But Fiddleford got the idea of recording several different dimensions for research…. or maybe he thought they would make great entertainment to watch like a soap opera I never really asked." He rubbed his chin in thought. "Either way these are the records he filmed of those dimensions."
"Whoa," the twins said looking at the many film cases inside the box. "Great uncle Ford," Dipper said, "did you take a look at these?"
"Not really," Ford admitted, "I've seen a few of the sessions of a some of the worlds before I focused on the portal. Heck I don't even remember what half of the things I saw on them."
"So can we keep them?" Dipper asked.
Ford looked at the film reels before he shrugged, "They're harmless so do what you want with them."
Dipper and Mabel high fived each other as they started to shift through the box and Dipper found a second box that held more film reels.
(scene change)
"Dudes this is awesome," Soos said looking at one of the reels that Dipper and Mabel showed him. "it's like we have unlimited access to movies before they go in theaters."
"Yeah but we need a film protector to see any of this," Dipper explained writing down the serial numbers. He figured out that several of the reels went together no doubt viewing the same world and was categorizing them.
"Still seems pretty cool," Wendy added still getting use to the fact there is a twin brother to her boss and the fact there is another secret bunker underneath the Mystery Shack.
"I wonder what worlds are on these," Mabel said before she gasped, "Maybe it will be a world where people walk on their hands and do everything with their feet. Or maybe a world where people are the pets and the pets and people!" she looked to Waddles, "you'll take care me of right?"
Waddle oinked twice and Mabel took it as a sign that he will. "Well with the infinite muilt-verse theory anything is possible," Dipper pointed out. He looked at his notebook "So far we got at least three different dimensions in this box alone. If only we had a film projector to see them."
"Like the one in the movie theater?" Wendy asked.
Dipper shook his head, "Yeah but we got banned last time and I think it would be too much of a hassle to sneak in for a private viewing with their projector."
"Why not use the old abandon drive in theater?" Soos suggested.
"Wait, Gravity Falls have a drive in theater?" Dipper asked.
Soos nodded, "Yeah but after the other theater was built no one really uses that place since it can only show one movie at a time rather than the several in the regular theater. But I think the projector is still there and I can easily get it working."
The twins beamed at each other, "Movie night?" Dipper asked.
"Movie night!" Mabel replied gleefully. She then gasped, "I can invite Candy and Grenda to see it too."
"Awesome," Wendy said with a grin, "Count me in."
"Sweet," Dipper said, "I'll let Ford and Stan know of the plan."
(scene change)
That night Soos's pickup drove into the drive in theater, the back filled with supplies. "Thanks for the ride Soos," Mabel said getting out with Candy and Grenda behind her.
"Anytime," Soos said as Wendy got out the passenger seat. "I'll set the movie projector up."
Stan's car drove up and parked next to them before Stan, Ford, Dipper and Pacifica got out. Now it might be surprising that Pacifica would come but after the incident at her manor she warmed up to Dipper and Mabel and hung out with them a few times. They kept her out of any adventures but they just hung out like normal kids. "We can watch a movie outside?" Pacifica asked, surprised at this.
"Most people use stayed in cars and had the sound come in through speakers" Dipper explained. "How did you get your parents to let you come with us?"
Pacifica rolled her eyes, "I told them I was invited to some movie premieres. They were picking me off and taking me to a theater for the viewing."
Dipper chuckled, "Well you went lying."
"So what are we seeing?" Pacifica asked.
Dipper smiled and lead the way, explaining everything but making sure it was a way she could understand it. Wendy was getting chairs set up between two speakers while facing the large screen. Two rows of chairs with the kids and herself in the front while Soos, Stan and Ford sat behind them. "This is going to be awesome."
"We raided the snack bars!" Mabel said returning with her friend, each carrying several bags of candy and popcorn.
The screen was lite with the light from the projector before Soos came back, "Got it working. Just waiting for the movie to start now."
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Stan asked his brother as they sat in their chairs.
"It'll be fine," Ford reassured him. "None of the films should show anything dangerous or something they can't find on TV anyways."
"TV has changed since the last time you were here," Stan reminded him.
Ford didn't say anything about it the accident since it would only cause another fight and he didn't want to do it when they were simply wanting to watch something one of a kind. He made sure he had his note pads since there was a chance he could learn something seeing these worlds. He did however look at Dipper who was sitting between Pacifica and Wendy. "So which reel did you pick for the first one?"
Dipper had his own notepads ready before looking at his note of the reel he gave Soos "the serial number read W03-W9SW329-123. No idea what it means but figured it was a good start."
"Shhh!" Mabel shushed before pointing at the screen. "It's starting."
The group was quite as the scene lit up with color and their first peek into a new dimension was shown.
The this is the start of the story. The first chapter reaction is up next and I wonder how they will take the changes to Dipper and Mabel themselves, and their family. We're just getting started so let the chaos begin.
