Authors Note:
So I had this little idea in my head for a while, and I have been waiting for the Gravity Falls FanFiction archive to open up here on . Now I finally can write this and upload it! :D This is just going to be sorta a two shot. Cause I'm lazy and only have up to a certain point figured out. And I also want to see if anyone actually likes this story, because the plot line probably sucks...
So, anyway, enjoy! :D
Everything was quiet in the forests of Gravity Falls... The birds were chirping happily and the beavers were chittering and chattering around in the nearby lake. The sun was shining brightly over the land, warming the surface and the residents of this otherwise quiet town.
Thump.
There was a thump coming through the forest... The trees shook slightly, as if they were in fear for what was about to come...
Thump.
There it was again. The trees shook vigorously.
"AHH!" Came a group of voices, echoing off the thin trees. That voice sounded familiar, doesn't it? A girl and a boy, young. Those voices belonged to the one and only Dipper and Mabel Pines, the crazy, 12 year old twins who loved Adventure and Fun. But what were they screaming about? They are running, but from what? Are the gnomes after them again? Maybe, maybe not, but the monster seems to be nowhere in sight, despite the loud thumps that shook the tall pine trees. The twins continued to run, but this may not be a smooth run for one of the twins, as there are a lot of rocks and up-rooted roots, ready to trip anyone who may not be paying any attention to the dusty forest floor.
"Come on Mabel! We need to get back to the Mystery Shack!" Dipper yelled, looking backwards at his twin sister, who was trying to catch up to her fast running brother. Dipper looked forward, but not fast enough. And thats when it happened. Dipper's foot got caught in a mess of roots, causing him to trip and fall to the ground. An excruciating bolt of pain shot up his leg, causing him to yelp out and grab his leg. Shortly, the pain began to just bubble up in his left ankle.
"Dipper, you alright?" Mabel asked, concerned that her twin might have hurt himself. Dipper nodded, "Yeah, I should be fine." He proceeded to stand up, only to end up back on his butt with pain tears welling up in his eyes.
Thump.
Whatever they were running from was now catching up, and Dipper began to panic.
"I can't stand up!" Dipper yelled, freaking out majorly at the fact that he either sprained or broke his ankle. Mabel looked around frantically, trying to come up with a plan, but in the end, just decided on picking Dipper up and trying to run with him in her arms. He was very lightweight, surprisingly. Dipper huffed a little, mad at the fact that he hurt himself and was now being carried by his sister. He loved his sister dearly, but he didn't want to be carried. But in a situation like this, it couldn't be helped. They needed to get away from the monster that was chasing them.
Mabel ran as fast as she could, sighing with relief when the Mystery Shack came into view. She ran, Dipper still pouting in her arms. She ran up the old, creaky front stairs of their workplace and home. she fumbled a bit with the door, due to the fact that there was a 12 year old boy in her hands. She finally got in, slamming the door quickly behind her.
She placed Dipper down on their great uncle's chair, and then proceeded to search for said uncle.
"Grunkle Stan! Dipper got hurt!" She yelled, awaiting a response. When she got none, she looked at her brother, who was rubbing at his sore ankle. Time to look for the first aid kit. She went up to the room she shared with her brother. She knew for a fact that Dipper wasn't dumb enough to forget some form of First Aid kit when he packed for the trip to Gravity Falls a few weeks ago. She looked around his side of the room, finding a small white case with a red cross on the front.
"There you are, you little stinker." Mabel said, grabbing it then running back downstairs. Dipper was still rubbing at his ankle, wincing. He thought trying to massage at it would make it feel better, but to his dismay, it only made it worse!
"Ok! We're gonna get your ankle all fixed up!" Mabel said, lifting the First Aid kit up above her head.
"Are you sure its a good idea for you to be doing it? Have you ever even fixed a sprained ankle before?" Dipper asked, crossing his arms while questioning the medical abilities of Mabel.
"No, but it shouldn't be that hard."
Dipper took off his left shoe and sock, trying to be careful not to hurt his ankle anymore then it already was, and Mabel wrapped up his ankle. She tried to make the bandage secure and tight by holding the one end to the bottom of Dipper's foot, bringing it up between his toes like a flip-flop strap, then wrapping it around his foot like a cast, going up past the ankle, stopping about mid calf. Even with that type of wrapping it still ended up being really loose, but Dipper didn't say anything. He didn't say anything while she was fixing him up. He could only think about the fact that he would be stuck here for a while till his ankle was fixed.
"What happened to you two?" A familiar voice came from the doorway to the living room. The twins looked up, their Grunkle Stan standing in the doorway.
"Dipper tripped over a root in the forest earlier and hurt his ankle." Mabel explained. Dipper painfully pulled his ankle close to him, trying to hid it.
The doctor got a call a not too long after.
"Well, it is broken," The doctor said, examining Dippers ankle. He had removed Mabel's attempt of a bandage to get a better look, and there was some bruising. He re-wrapped up Dipper's ankle, more secure and tight, "You will need to stop by my office tomorrow afternoon to get a more secure cast, so it can heal right. But for now, try to stay off that leg." He said. Dipper nodded, staring at his foot. "Any questions?" He asked, looking at Mabel and Grunkle Stan.
"Yeah," Grunkle Stan started, "Is this visit going to cost me anything?" The doctors expression turned from happy to annoyed within a second of Grunkle Stan finishing his sentence. He grabbed his medical bag and turned around, not bothering to answer the annoying Pines family member. Grunkle Stan followed the doctor as he went out the door.
Dipper kept staring down at his ankle. He was really mad that he wouldn't be able to go solve any of the mysteries that he read in his book. He really wanted to figure out more about those floating eyeballs... He sighed and looked over to his left, where Mabel was staring at him.
"You wanna play a video game?" Mabel asked, walking up to the T.V. "Sure!" No broken ankle is going to stop him from trying to beat his sister at a video game, cause somehow she is really good at the games they have...
The night went on, Dipper and Mabel played games and watched Ducktective, to which Dipper still wasn't impressed with the work of that duck. But, time flies when you are having fun and they soon had to go to bed. Dipper needed some help going upstairs. He could climb up, but Mabel had to stand behind him to make sure he didn't fall or use his left leg much.
They got themselves ready for bed, brushing their teeth and getting dressed into their pajamas. Mabel was reading one of her crazy vampire novels, clad in a purple nighty with while Dipper was in his usual orange t-shirt and grey shorts. He had his leg propped up on a pillow, because laying it flat hurt and felt very uncomfortable. He had his book in his lap and was staring at the ceiling. There was a small hole that got patched up, and the wood looked looked over at Mabel, who had apparently fallen asleep on her book. He looked at her, shook his head a little and turned off the light, not without a little struggle.
Now that I have this written, I realize this is the dumbest thing that will exist on this part of FanFiction. God I'm horrible. Review I guess. And I'll most likely make another chapter cause I'm dumb and I don't know when to quit. XD
