A/N: I love this show soooo much! So I had to write fanfic for it. No awkard shippings (I hope you know the one I'm referring to) and no OC pairings. Just a pure Gravity Falls mystery with twist and turns and the amazing Pines twin solving them! I sadly don't own Gravity Falls!

The Hand that Still Rocks the Mabel

Chapter 1 A Glass Half-full Girl

With the sun shining in her eyes Mabel Pines woke for the second time in two days with a genuine brace filled smile. Yes! Finally things will be normal officially. She woke up feeling the same way yesterday, but that was so wrong.

Mabel tried to forget the images of that crazy creep Lil' Gideon threatening her brother with scissors. Or when he tackled Dipper out the window. But, that was last night, today was a new day. Dipper was safe, Gideon was powerless, and she didn't have to date him anymore!

"Dipper!" Mabel squealed as she chucked her pillow at her twin's sleeping form.

"Wha-What?" Dipper practically jumped out of his skin.

Mabel laughed at her brother's jumpiness. Gravity Falls sure changed him.

"Dipper it's a brand new day! Woot woot!" she celebrated.

Dipper frowned and shook his head. He put on his signature blue and white cap and grabbed the mysterious book 3 before trudging out of his bed.

"Glad to see you optimistic," he said tiredly.

"Oh come on Dipper," she pleaded with him as she got out of her bed and followed him downstairs, "It's a brand new day. Things can officially go back to way they were. We can hang out with Soos and go monster hunting again. I can make new sweaters with my new yarn!"

Dipper smiled, "I guess you're right Mabel."

"Have I ever been wrong before?" Mabel giggled as she nudged her brother.

"Uhhh," he hesitated

"Don't answer that," she smiled brightly.

The twins laughed as they entered the kitchen. Grunkle Stan was nowhere to be seen at the moment, but they knew their way around the kitchen. Sitting with a bowl of her cereal, Mabel imagined her next sweater. It would probably one of her wax figure designs which was a fairy princess part fairy princess and part horse fairy princess or a waffle with big arms. She would have plenty of time to decide. As she shoveled down her cereal, sitting next to her Dipper as usual was flipping through the book.

"In Gravity Falls who knows what we will find next," he said looking at a page with giant vampire bats.

"Oooh vampires!" Mabel celebrated, "Yes!"

Everything was definitely back to normal!
