"Yes, he was taken care of for us. Yes, he led us to it. No, no action is to be taken. Yet." His reflection was worn and his eyes traced the map and its geological structures. This is it. They'd found the place. Oregon, Gravity Falls. "I'll dispatch MTF Epsilon-6 to the location. They'll take over for now and report to me." The man turned his seat and stood. He came out of the shadow of his room and grabbed his coat with the inscription "Dr. Bright" 05 Council. He'd been waiting for this for far too long..

"Welcome! It's been a while since we've had newcomers! This is our quaint little town of Gravity Falls!" The mayor spoke to three fellows each with a smile on their face.

"Why, thank you! Life in the big cities is always too fast and too distant. What, a lovely town would be a much needed change of pace. I'm Tom, friends call me Tommy. This here in the red plaid is Alex and that one with the cap is Fred. I do hope we can find some lodging. We're not here as tourists, we're here for at least a few months, if that's fine.

Tyler smiles. "Well of course, Tommy. We can get Mr. Corduroy to chop some trees and we all can pitch in to help build a new home for you. And again, Welcome to Gravity Falls."

"Mabel! Wait up!" Dipper slid through the foliage and stopped short of his twin sister. She had her signature smile as she stared at something in the distance. He traced her eyes and his eyes widened. "No way! How did you find this old thing?" They both looked on at the tree which had been one memorable adventure. Dipper grabbed at the bark and opened the panel with a creak. He fiddled around with the controls before he heard a crack. The tree opened just as it had a year ago. They clicked their flashlights on and made their descent. "So Mabel, I've been working on some new spells lately, and I've been meaning to ask for some help."

"O-Ehm-Gee! Finally! You'll let me raise the dead like you did?" Mabel's face lit up brighter than their flashlights. Dipper strained his eyes as he turned to answer.

"No, not happening." He continued ignoring her groans,"No, it's creating small objects out of thin air. These are short spells and usually can make small items. I was thinking you could help me by being the target. Y'know, stand there while I create a birthday hat on your head."

"Boo! You're no fun. I'll give it a thought. And we're here." They made their way into the fallout shelter and crawled into the access tunnel. "Hey Dipper. It was dustier our last time we were here. You notice that?"

Dipper kept going. "Yeah, and the first room was sort of clean." They stopped. "You don't think that shapeshifter managed to free himself? But how would that be possible?" They crept out and set foot into the wall room. It featured various symbols on all surfaces. However, the twins stood with gaping mouths at the hole that was left in the wall. Someone had come through. And they were not amused by the trap. They made their way slowly to the door and could hear beeping and shuffling. They poked their heads out. They suppressed a gasp and hid.

"I don't think that's the shapeshifter." Mabel whispered.

"Who else would it be? How would they manage to have known about this place?" Dipper peered at the person from his hiding spot. "What should we do? We can't just leave without knowing if its the shapeshifter." They looked at each other and knew what to do next.

"Help! Someone help me!" The person at the monitors stood up and began to run into the symbol room. As he stepped in, both Mabel and Dipper fell onto the person, and struggled to keep him down.

"What the hell! What are you kids doing here? How-" He struggled but finally was restrained by some unknown force.

"I got him! Mabel it worked! The spell worked! I can't believe it. Now, who are you?" Dipper's hand glowed green as his spell kept the person restrained.

"Who do you work for? The Serpents? How'd you manage to find me?" The person struggled to no avail. He huffed. "My name is Researcher Miller. I've been called to investigate this town. That's all I can say, really. Now, please, can you let go?"

"Oh, sure. My name's Dipper, and this is Mabel. We live here. And this was a fallout shelter we found last year. There was a shapeshifter that is frozen in the other room."

Miller looked at Dipper and Mabel. "Ok kids, look. I gotta be honest with you two. You won't remember stumbling upon me or all of this so just take your leave." He turned back to his monitor and to a journal of his own. It marked, from Dippers angle, a monster was detailed.

"Wow, what is that? Is that the shapeshifter?"

"Yeah, actually. He got a glimpse at another SCP somehow and was able to mimic it. We damn near had a heart attack. Anyway go on and get out. I really need to get back to work."

Dipper and Mabel made their way back to the surface in a daze. "That was fun! Come on Dipper, I heard there's some new guys in town. I hope one of them is handsome," and made her way out and toward home. Dipper stumbled and sat on the log for a second, having no recollection of what happened in the bunker.

"Weird." And he too made his way to the Mystery Shack.

"Hey dudes, have you heard of the new guys?" Soos wore the signature Mystery Hack boss uniform complete with the hat. Saturday afternoon meant dinner time with Abuelita, so Soos was off from work, which comprised of creating fake creatures and leading naive tourists through the collection before squeezing out every penny from collectibles and merchandise.

"Hey, Soos, we're heading upstairs. We'll be down in a bit." The twins made it into the attic which was their new home. They set down their backpacks, a pine and a shooting star sowed into them accordingly. "Well, Mabel. We're back in Gravity Falls. We've only been here since yesterday, but I have a feeling we should plan out our week."

"Oh Dipper, the whole point of being on vacation is to hope to find something to do. I'm going to see what Abuelita made." Dipper sat the edge of his bed. He recollected his thoughts. Yesterday, they had arrived to Gravity Falls at the start of their summer break, and now they had newcomers. They had visited the Fallout Bunker, but he couldn't remember what for. He sighed. Then, he too joined his family downstairs.
