Gravity Falls: The Kids Are All Right Ch 2 Ran Not Away

At A Large Creek About Two Miles From The Mystery Shack

Gravity Falls, OR

Friday May 30th, 2031

Flashback Approximately An Hour And A Half Ago

Terrance ‘Ran’ Pines was vigorously going through the mental checklist he had made of all the pointers his mom had taught him on how to remain calm, cool, and collected in stressful situations. But really she never taught him how to do it in this type of situation.

“Are you sure you set your clothes down over here?” He called back over his shoulder as he looked through a bush for the missing items. He really didn’t know how he got into this predicament, he had came into the woods trying to find a replacement butterfly for his sister, not to stumble across a girl who had been swimming in just her underwear and apparently lost her clothes.

“Yeah, right next to that rock there.” A voice came from behind him as a slender arm pointed just to the left of where he was looking. “Thank you for letting me borrow your shirt.”

He was glad he had worn on of his baggier Hawaiian shirts today. When she had told him what had happened he had graciously taken it of and left it by the creek bank as he turned and began looking for her clothes while she had put on his shirt.

“It’s no problem. I’m sure we’ll find your clothes soon.” He said as he did his best to keep from staring at her. His parents raised him to be respectful so it was probably easier for him than most guys. “The names Ran by the way.”

“I’m Meaghan,” she said as she offered her hand.

“Alright Meaghan,” Ran said as he shook her hand, “let’s get back to looking. If we can’t find them…”

“We have to find them. I can’t go back to my family without them.” she said as she crumbled to the ground.

“Oh, if we can’t find them I’m sure they wouldn’t mind you getting something from the Shack. And then we can call your parents.” Ran said as he finally turned around. Seeing the state she was in he went over tried placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.

“No! No! No! That won’t work.” she started screaming before she broke down crying, “I need my clothes, I can’t go back to my family without them.”

Pulling her into a gentle hug “Ok, I’ll keep looking. What color where they again?”

“Steel grey, like my hair.” She replied as she pulled her braid around to the front and ran it through her fingers nervously.

Ran would have sworn her hair was black, but now that he was closer it seems to have been a combo of the wetness of her hair and the lighting that made it look that way. “And what about your shoes?”

“I, uhmm, didn’t wear any.” Meaghan said as she subconsciously pulled her feet up under her.

Realizing that he was possibly making her nervous by being so close he got up and started searching again, this time out past the bush and rock where she had said she had left her clothes. It was while he was doing this that it struck him, they were at least a couple miles from civilization and most of that was paths that would be harsh on bare feet.

Mystery Shack

Present Time

“Hey Debbie, where’s your brother?” Dipper asked his daughter after he realized that though Antonio was here, he didn’t see Ran anywhere.

“I’m not sure dad. We got into a fight earlier and he ran off.” Debbie said in a muffled tona as she hugged her dad close and trying to hold back tears, “I thought he would be back by now. I’m scared dad.”

“He went into the woods, Mr. Pines. I thought it would be best if I calmed Debbie down while he maybe tried to catch her a new butterfly or something.” Antonio said shaking his head.

“Thanks Antonio,” Dipper said as he hugged his daughter, “It’s ok sweetheart. Remember he’s not only a Pines, he’s a Corduroy too. And these woods have been protecting the Corduroys for as long as they’ve been living with them. Let me call your mother and then we’ll go find him.”

He held on to Debbie with one arm as he pulled out his phone with the other.

Soos and Melody joined them in the Gift Shop. Soos held a small phone in his hand, “He left in such a rush he forgot his phone. Sorry bro.”

“It’s ok Soos, he knows this area of the woods pretty good. And most of the woods know him.” Dipper said as he dialed his wife’s number. After she answered he said, “Hey honey, Ran’s been out in the woods for a couple of hours. Yeah, a fight with Debbie. Uh huh, sure. Alright we’ll be here.”

Dipper hung up his phone. He looked at Debbie and wiped a tear from her face, before turning his attention to the rest of those gathered. “Wendy just finished up reporting to the Mayor. She should be here in a couple of minutes. Luckily we have a plan for if any of the kids get lost in the woods.”

Melody said under her breath, “Of course you’d have a plan for something like this.”

Across Town At The Mayor’s Office

Wendy hangs up her phone and turns back to the person sitting behind the desk, “Well that was Dipper, one of the kids may be lost in the woods I gotta get moving.”

“Well which of my grandkids is in trouble this time?” the mayor said from the recesses of his too large for him chair.

“It’s Ran. And just how did you know it was one of my kids?” Wendy asked with a smirk.

“Because it was someone else’s you would have complained about ‘why parents in this town don’t teach their kids to respect the woods!’ instead of ‘one of the kids’. And you would have mentioned it if it was one of your friends’ kids.” The mayor said with a knowing smile she really remembers seeing the first time back we she told him that she and Dipper had started dating. “So why are you still standing here, you’ve got a missing son. Go git em!”

As she left the office, she stuck her head into the office of the town’s social media and tourism specialist. “Hey Tambers, thought I’d stop by to tell that dinner plans may have to be put on hold.”

“Shoot, I was looking forward to seeing you guys this evening. What emergency did the boss come up with this time? Did someone file a noise complaint against Multibear again or something?” the magenta haired social media expert asked her oldest friend with a chuckle, remembering how the last complaint actually had come from a group of fairies who were upset that he had ate from their favorite berry bush and so they enchanted a pair of hikers to file the complaint.

“Nah, this one is personal. Ran went into the woods by the Shack earlier and hasn’t came out yet. I’m heading there now to start the search party.” Wendy said as she shook her head.

“You want me to text Stacey to go help you? I mean she should be back from taking lil Genie to the mall.” Tambry asked with her phone appearing in her hand almost faster than Wendy could see.

Wendy waved off the offer saying, “Nah, I can track better if I’m not having to worry about someone else’s kid. Besides, I’ll have Dipper.”

At that Tambry stopped short of sending out the text to her daughter she had started writing. “Yeah, I could see how that would be problem some. Though I was gonna send her to watch Debbie for you guys.”

“Nah, thanks though. Soos, Melody, and Antonio are there. They can keep an eye on Debbie.” Wendy said as she started to leave. Before she shut the door she stuck her head back in and said, “I’ll call if things change.”

At The Arcade

“Ok, you’re going down this time Chiu.” Ed called as he furiously pounded a set of buttons while rotating the control stick in front of him.

“Yeah right, I’ve beat you every time we've played this game.” Ginger responded as she carefully tapped the buttons needed to counter attack his character.

From across the arcade you could hear Ricky complain, “Grenda, that’s not how you play Dancy Pants Revolution Retro and you know it!”

“What do you mean, I am gaining points aren’t I?” Ginger’s step brother said as he was seemingly using waltz movements to score points.

“I guess.” Ricky said throwing his hands up. “Hey, I’m gonna go check on Ed and your sister. I’ll be right back.”

"No problem, I’ll still be here racking up points.” Grenda II said as he stopped waltzing and began playing the game earnestly.

Ricky crossed the arcade and over to the Fight Fighters V game his brother and friend were playing. As he got over he saw that Ed was playing Beastor like usual while Ginger was playing Mi-Cha McSkirmish, a new character that is Rumble’s illegitimate daughter from South Korea. With her fondness for K-pop and whatnot, this didn’t surprise him. But reminded him of the fact that Uncle Dipper had told them not to mention it around the old Fight Fighters cabinet he has down in his basement game room. He knows the town has its eccentricities but that’s weird even for it.

“You winning bro?” he asked even though he could tell from here that Ginger had the upper hand.

“No, she’s sweeping the floor with me.” Ed responded as he again began rapidly pounding buttons.

“Don’t you mean that she’s ‘mopping the floor’ with you?” his brother asked.

At that point Ginger had her character preform a leg sweep that ko’d Ed’s. Ed turned back towards his brother, “Nope, I meant sweeping.”

Suddenly a voice was carried from across the arcade near where Ricky left Grenda, “Oh look guys, it’s Little Lord Fancypants. You decide to come slum it with us common folks, Fancypants?”

“I think he might not have heard you, Alec. Maybe we should see if he need physical stimuli.” Another voice said before the sound of a body hitting the floor could be heard.

As the friends started rushing towards Grenda they heard “Look I wonder if he even speaks American, don’t they speak something different over in Australia where he’s from?”

As they turn the round the last game they see Alec Roberts, the worse bully at Archibald Corduroy Junior High, and his cronies, Danny King, & Max Brown, standing over Grenda with Alec actually having his foot on his chest. Alec looked down at Grenda and said, “Tell you what Fancypants, we’ll let you go back to your game for a small fee. Say five dollars for each of us.”

“Hey jerkface, what are you doing to my friend?” Ricky yelled before he ran and tackled Alec.

He had no sooner had he plowed through the bully, then Ginger got down beside her brother making sure he was ok. Ed was at her side the whole time, glaring at the remaining two would be bullies.

“Aw look, pacifier boy is here to defend Fancypants and his Otaku sister.” Danny said as he started towards them with Max following suit.

“The term is pacifist Daniel,” Ed said in a calm clear voice, “It means someone who doesn’t believe that war and violence is the answer to life’s problems.”

"So what? It still means you’re a wuss, Northwest.” Danny said as he went to swing at Ed who ducked.

“Well you made three wrong assumptions about me. First is that since I don’t like to fight, it means that I’m a pacifist.” Ed said as he was dodging the first swing. Danny swung again which Ed easily dodged again saying, "The second is that since I’m a Northwest that I’m probably scared to get my hands dirty.”

Ed then released a rabbit punch into Danny’s stomach followed by a right hook that sent Danny to the ground. “And finally you forgot that I’m a Pines, none of us are wusses.”

"What happened to you Max?” Ginger asked after she was certain that Grenda was just dazed after his fall, “We used to be friends, until you started hanging with these jerks.”

“They treat me good, and keep the others from bugging me. I just like feeling important, not like an insignificant dweeb. You know, like you said, we used to be friends. If you wanted to dump these losers, I’m sure I could talk the guys into letting you hang with us. You’d probably need to dump the band merch too.” Max said as he offered Ginger his hand to help her up.

Taking it she stood up and said, “Oh you’d do that for me. How thoughtful. But really, that’s my brother. And if you look, it doesn’t seem like my friends aren’t the losers.”

Max quickly turned saw that Ed was standing over a prone Danny and Ricky was getting up off a groaning Alec. He was then jerked back around by the hand Ginger still held. He faced her just in time to feel her knee connect below the belt. He doubled over just as she released his hand.

“So thanks, but no thanks. 얼간이.*” Ginger said as she went back and helped her brother to his feet.

After he was standing, Grenda II looked around at the carnage and then at his approaching friends. “Thank you my friends. And you also Ginger, though don’t you think you went a little rough on him?”

“Not really.” Ginger said as she saw the arcade employee, Ashley, standing there silently clapping.

Realizing that she was seen Ashley Walked over to the group. Looking at the group she said, “Alright I hate to do this guys. Officially I’m gonna have to tell you that fighting of any type is prohibited and you guys have to be banned from the arcade for a week. It’s in store policy and unfortunately this was caught on film. Now unofficially, I’m glad someone put these guys in their place. I hate bullies.”

“Alright, we get the picture Ash. Thanks for breaking it to us softly. We’ll get out of your hair.” Ed said as he reluctantly started leading the his brother and their friends towards the exit.

“Remember it’ll only be for a week and I’ll talk to Mr. Decker and see if I can get it to be shorter.” Ashley said as she watched the group heading towards the door.

“That’s ok. No need to put yourself out of sorts for us. We did the crime, we can do the time.” Ed responded as they hit the exit. As the others left Ed stopped himself to look back at Ashley and asked, “How’s things going between you and Jason?”

“Good, we’ve got a date tomorrow night. Have I thanked you and Ginger yet?” Ashley said with a smile.

“Yeah, you did. But you didn’t need to, we don’t do it for thanks. We do it for the cause of love.” Ed replied as he walked out of the door.

Ed joined the group outside while Ricky was pulling his hair back into his hairband from where the fight had messed it up. When he was done he looked at his brother and said, “What took you so long Ed?”

“I asked Ashley how Jason was?” Ed said as he realized that his hand was hurting. This was the first time he had hit something other than the training bag mom had in the exercise room Mother had set up for them.

Ginger’s face lit up at the mention of Jason. She grabbed Ed’s hand and asked, “Are they still together?”

Ed did a miniscule wince when grabbed his hand but knowing she meant no harm he hid it. Remarkably the longer she held it the less I seemed to hurt. Knowing she wanted an answer he replied, “Yep! They have a date tomorrow.”

“Alright that means it’s been two and a half month’s. I think we can quote your mom and call this one a ‘Match Made’!” Ginger said with a celebratory fist pump after releasing Ed’s hand.

“Well now that that is out of the way,” Grenda II said with a smirk, “What are we going to do now?”

“Hmm, I think Ran and Debbie are supposed to be at the Shack until their parent’s get done with whatever the hullabaloo the creatures of the woods are causing today. If they’re not there then at least maybe we can help Uncle Soos work on some displays.” Ed said. He was thinking that if they were there it would be another chance for him and Ginger to get his cousin and her brother together.

"Really. De..., I mean your cousins will be there. That sounds good to me. Come on let’s be on our way.” Grenda said before he turned and quickly started heading in the direction of the Shack. With a little snickering at his enthusiastic agreement, the others started following him.

As they walked they passed City Hall and the twins noticed their Aunt Wendy getting into her Alamo Jaunt. Ed called out, “Hi Aunt Wendy!”

“Hi kids, I really don’t have time to talk. I’m in a rush to get to the Shack.” She said as she put on her seatbelt.

“What a co-inky dink.” Ed said with a smile. “We were heading there ourselves. Any chance we could ride with you?”

After thinking about it for a moment she replied, “Yeah, hope in. Ricky, you take the front seat and the rest of you get in the back.”

After the kids were in she said, “Buckle up! We’re not gonna be taking the scenic route!”

Back In The Woods

Approximately Twenty-Five Minutes Ago

“Meaghan, are you still over here?” Ran called as he worked his way back to where he had left her. H had been making half circles spreading out from where she had said she had left her clothes. As he reached the creek he saw his shirt sitting on the rock he had last seen Meaghan sitting on. “Meaghan! Meaghan, where are you?!”

He looked behind around the clearing while continuing call out for her. As he was searching in the hollow of a tree on the edge of the clearing he hears his name coming from back at the creek. He turned quickly and saw her head and bare shoulders breaking through the surface of the creek.

Quickly turning around so that his back was towards her and the creek he asked, “So why did you go back in the creek?”

“I felt kind of bad that you were out there searching and I was sitting here, uhmm sorry but your shirt is gonna be a little wet, just sitting here doing nothing. So I decided that I would check the water to see if they had somehow been blown in.” Meaghan said. Ran heard the ruffling of the fabric as she buttoned up his shirt. “I’m done, you can turn back around.”

“Thanks” Ran said as he turned back around. ”I hate to say this but I’ve looked everywhere I could think of to find your outfit. My parents are supposed to be at the Shack to pick me and my sister up soon. Why don't I call them and see if they could come help out.”

Ran reached for his phone and when he realized it wasn’t there he began patting down his pockets before he remembered having it out on the table when his sister walked in on his taxidermy project. “Shoot, I left it back at the Shack. Now they’re really worry. And I’m gonna be in so much trouble. I’ve got to get back there.”

Meaghan stood there looking like she was near tears at his statement. With a stomp of her foot she said, "You can’t leave, you promised to help me find my clothes.”

“I wasn’t gonna leave you, it’s just I need to get back to my family. They’re gonna be at the Shack soon, tell you what I’ll take you there and you can meet them…” Ran started before he was cut off by loud ‘Harrumph’ coming from Meaghan.

“No, no, no. I thought you were different. But no, you just want to take me away. Well I have news for you mister, I’m on to you. Where did you hide it?” She asked as she practically threw herself at him and started pounding on his chest.

Scooting back he caught her arms, “Whoa, where in the world is this coming from. I just spent an hour trying to find your clothes. All I’m trying to do is help you.”

“No, you’re taking me to meet your parents. I have heard that is a wedding ritual in your culture,” Meaghan said as she struggled to pull away from him now that her hands were caught, before she began crying and fell into his shoulder “I’m too young to be married.”

“Married? What? What in the world are you talking about?” Ran asked as he pulled her away only to be pulled back into a hug as he said continued, “I am in no way trying to get married. I’m only eleven and anyways you’re only thirteen or fourteen, I know the laws are lenient in Gravity Falls but the state’s minimum marrying age is still seventeen and that’s with parental consent. So yeah, no one is getting married around here.”

“But, but the customs. And the loss of my clothes.” Meaghan started as she pulled away from him. Seeing the earnest look on his face she added, “ You truly mean it!”

“Yeah, all I’m gonna do is take you to my parents. They know every rock and tree in these woods almost better than they know me and my sister.” He said that last bit with a smirk so that she would know he was exaggerating. After she returned the smile he added, “So let’s head to the Shack.”

“Alright,” she said as he took her hand and they headed towards the trail to the Shack.

Present Time

Mystery Shack Parking Lot

“Alright kids, remember what I told you. Debbie may need your help. Her father, Antonio, and I will be heading out to find her wayward brother.” Wendy said as she was getting out of her Jaunt, with the kids doing the same.

“No problem Aunt Wendy, with the four of us there she may even forget that Ran is gone.” Ed said as he rushed towards the Shack’s entrance.

“What my brother means is we will do our best to entertain Debbie until Ran’s inevitable return.” Ricky added as he did his best to match his Aunt’s lengthy stride.

Behind them Ginger is living up to her duties as a wing-woman and a matchmaker by giving Grenda II a pep talk as they head for the door. “Ok, you can do this. Comfort her, console her, and once Ran is back ask her if she’d want to go get some ice-cream tomorrow.”

“Ok. Confront her. Control her. Scream at her eyes tomorrow. Ok, I’ve got this.” Grenda II said as they got to the door, “No wait that doesn’t sound right.”

“Brother, you are hopeless.” Ginger said under her breath before continuing in a whisper, “Look, calm down. Ed should be setting the scene for you right now. Just be your normal charming self and you’ll be fine.”

They walked into the gift-shop where everyone was gathered. The adults and Antonio were off to one side in a conversation. Walking over they joined Ricky and Ed in giving Debbie a comforting hug, all thoughts of asking her out left Grenda as soon as he saw how upset she seemed.

“It’s all my fault. I was mad over something stupid and now Ran is lost. I’m such a bad older sister.” Debbie was said in between sobs. She had calmed down, but seeing her friends and not her brother had set her off again.

“No, you’re a great big sister.“ Ed and Ricky said as one.

“Hey look. Your parents are gonna find your bro, you guys are gonna make up, and things will be alright.” Ginger added.

“Tell you what Debbie,” Grenda said keeping one arm on her shoulder, “why don’t we go in and see if that show you like is on.”

“I guess we can try, but I’m not sure even Nova Butterfly** can cheer me up right now.” Debbie said as she let her friends guide her into the residential area of the Shack.

Across the gift-shop Wendy, Dipper, Soos, Melody, and Antonio were finishing going over the plan.

“So for now Soos, you and Mel are gonna stay here in case he comes back while we are gone. Antonio, you’re with us. We might need the extra muscle.” Wendy said as she took off her flannel and tied it around her waist. She then tossed on a pair of gloves she had been carrying.

“Watch over the kids too, if you don’t mind." Dipper added. After he got a nod in response he checked to if his M.A.C.R. (Mythical and Cryptid Resonance) Meter and other gear was still on his belt in case they needed to track any of the residents of the forest. Finally he joined his wife as she headed towards the kitchen and it's exit.

As they left Wendy said, “Antonio, show us where Ran went into the woods. That will give me a place to start tracking. He was probably agitated, so hopefully he wouldn't have thought of using anything Dad taught him.”

“It’s right up ahead Mrs. Pines. I was just coming back from helping you two with the creek when he ran into me.” Antonio said pointing towards a break in the tree-line.

“Alright, that’s where we’ll start.” Wendy said as they headed towards the spot. Dipper pulled out his meter to check the area when they got there to make sure any tracks they found were real and not glamour influenced.

When the reached the entrance Dipper began a full sweep, while Wendy started looking for tracks from her son. As he watched the couple go to work he was once again blown away by how much they complimented each other. He was in the middle of thinking how lucky he would be to meet someone that matched him as they do each other, when he saw some movement a couple hundred meters up the path.

“Uhm, Mr. & Mrs. Pines doods. We’ve got movement up ahead. “ Antonio said as he watched a bush he knew had a path beside it shake.

Wendy pulled out her ax while Dipper readied some sort of taser. He kept checking back towards his meter but there were no innocuous readings. Antonio pulled a rubber mallet out of his toolbelt. As they watched they saw a figure that appeared to be almost a head taller than Ran and it was about twice as hefty in the torso region. As it got closer they realized that it was Ran and that he was carrying someone piggyback.

“Ran amigo, you ok?” Antonio asked as he dropped his mallet and rushed past the adults towards his little friend.

Wendy and Dipper quickly joined their young friend in greeting their son and the young lady that was on his back.

“Hi mom, dad. Yeah Tone, I’m pretty good. But can you help me out here.” Ran said as he motioned with tip of his head at his passenger.

“Oh shoot, sorry about that miss, the name’s Antonio. It’s still pine needles and what not from here till we hit the clearing, if you don’t mind I’ll take over for Ran here until you wish to be set down. You know, to give the little guy’s back a rest.” He said the last bit with a wink and a smirk as if h was trying to share a joke with the obviously confused young lady. When she nodded in agreement he slid an arm under her legs and the other along her back. He caught her as she let go and she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck.

“Ok, what’s going on young man? You had us worried and your sister was practically in hysterics until your cousins and your friends showed up yo help calm her down. I think she thought she had chased you to your death or something.” Wendy said as she hugged her son after he was free of his burden. Dipper stood there with his attention half on his son and half on his M.A.C.R. Meter.

“Sorry I took so long. I ended up coming across Meaghan here. Oh yeah. Mom, dad, Tone, this is Meaghan. Meaghan this is my parents and you’ve met Antonio. ” Ran started. After they all nodded in acknowledgement he continued as he rubbed his shoulders, “She was swimming in the creek and some one stole her clothes. I gave her my shirt and began looking for her clothes. Just trying to help out like you guys taught me to do and I lost track of time.”

“I’m sorry that his helping me has inconvenienced you all, he truly was a gentleman throughout this whole ordeal.” Meaghan said, her voice teeming with admiration. She was still somewhat behind him so she didn’t how flushed his cheeks were as she continued, “Why he didn’t even broach the subject of marriage and flat out refused the notion.”

“Marriage, what…”, Wendy started before she was cut off by her husband pushing the M.A.C.R. Meter towards her.

Finally fully turning his attention to the young lady, and while Wendy looked at his readings he asked. “Meaghan, young lady, what are you?”

Gravity Falls Headcanons

I'm bored and now you have this, I'm sorry, it's gonna be weird but that probably fits tbf

So first off, dipper has a love for tarantulas (am I projecting? Absolutely) and actually has a couple

Mabel hates them! But she's glad Dipper has something other than cryptids and mysteries to enjoy

Stan also hates the spiders he keeps with a burning passion but it's totally not because he's scared...

Mabel tried to teach Stan and Ford to knit so if they had any disasters clothes wise on board the Stan O' War II they'd be okay

Ford picked it up really well

Stan on the other hand did not... but he's trying!

As a thank you to Mabel they made her a knitted pig and sent it to her

They also made dipper a tarantula one

Dipper wears a kippah!

And at his bar mitzvah he also wore big Groucho Marx style glasses like Stan did to make him laugh, and Stan and Ford loved it

Stan and Ford always try and send letters and gifts to the younger twins whilst they're away

They tried to FaceTime but the Stan Twins were not compatible with technology- not to mention the poor connection

Despite being away a lot they make sure to be there for the really important moments

They also keep in contact with Wendy, Soos and Melody!

Stan is so proud of Soos and makes sure he's aware of it

Soos likes to keep Stan updated on what's happened at the Shack, and makes sure everyone remembers that he was the original mr mystery as well as what he sacrificed during weirdmaggedon

Wendy and Dipper talk allllll the time when the mystery twins are back in California

Mabel, Pacifica, Candy and Grenda, also talk alllll the time and do movie marathons on Disney plus together

Ford and McGucket regularly talk now, and invent together

When the stan twins aren't on the Stan O' War II, Ford and McGucket get together and discuss the paranormal findings

They also make sure to include dipper when they can because they value his input as well

Ford hates it but Stan and McGucket have a secret handshake, for no real reason other than to confuse Ford... Ford doesn't hate it as much as he lets on

Gravity Falls Headcanons

Some of these are mine, and some are inspired from others I've seen. These are all post-weirdmageddon

Dipper and the Multibear are penpals

Mabel is still close with Mermando and they still write all the time. While Stan and Ford were out in the sea, he used his political power to keep them protected by sending other sealife to watch over them, at Mabel's request. They don't know about this, besides the occasional guide that has to come on board.

Soos does an incredible job at running the Mystery Shack and ends up being able to expand it some, and find new attractions- some of them are actually real fantastical creatures.

After a bit, the residents of Gravity Falls got super used to paranormal happenings. Between the Blind Eye being disbanded, and Weirdmageddon not being something everyone could just forget about (anymore at least), it's just regular occurrence. However, it will never fail to completely baffle any visitors.

Dipper and Mabel started keeping a little journal of their encounters back in California. Of course, a whole year there is nothing compared to one summer in Gravity Falls, but it was nice to keep it up. Mabel did all the illustrations.

Mabel stole some of Stan's brass knuckles before leaving for Piedmont. When Stan learned about this the next Summer, he just laughed and said to keep them. She hasn't used them yet, but she has threatened people with them.

Mabel made a lot of money over the year by getting her friends to play poker with her and gamble real money- only a couple of dollars really, but it adds up.

They both ended up taking wrestling and got super good at it, scarily good at it actually.

Even though they all have phones, Mabel, Candy, and Grenda write to each other all year, just for the fun of it.

Waddles starts to grow really big really fast. It's not that big of a deal at first, but turns into a disaster after a while. Mabel refuses to get rid of him, so they board him at a barn.

McGucket really likes Waddles because he grew up on a pig farm. Whenever he comes over to the Shack when the twins are back in town, it won't be rare to see the two bonding.

He'll deny it to the end of time, but Stan loves Gompers so much. He almost ends up taking the goat with him on the Stan O' War II, but ends up leaving him with Soos with veiled threats to take care of the animal.

Soos accidentally called Stan dad a couple times. The first time it through them both off, but eventually they get used to it and allow it to happen. It baffles the others, and it makes Dipper and Mabel super happy to see. Mabel's made a couple jokes about how it makes them cousins, and Soos is thrilled by the idea.

Melody and Soos end up getting married pretty quickly. She had been meaning to move to Gravity Falls permanently for a while, and once Soos became the new Mr. Mystery, she had much more reason to. They never do end up having kids, but they probably accidentally adopt half the kids in town like Stan with Soos.

(Stan legally adopts Soos at some point)

Many people abide with the "never mind all that" act, but those are the ones who were lucky enough to get frozen early on and didn't see much. The people who talk about Weirdmageddon are the ones who were out surviving on their own, the refugees in the shack, those who were most affected by Bill's twisted jokes. They just can't pretend it never happened, so they all confide in each other about what went down.

Dipper and Mabel try to visit Gravity Falls every moment they can. Any break, if they can convince their parents, they spend time in Gravity Falls. They ended up going to Gravity Falls for New Year's and there was a giant party at the Shack. Stan and Ford came home, too.

Likewise, their friends from Gravity Falls sometimes come down to visit them. Usually it's Candy and Grenda, but sometimes Pacifica and Wendy, and occasionally Soos and Melody. Ford and Stan came by once, but they had to be along quickly.

Pacifica does end up working at Greasy's Diner, and ends up learning to bake there. She's surprised to find she enjoys it a lot, and she finds it calms her down, too, and she is quite good at it. She begins baking at home, too, and eventually also at the Shack, where she likes to share her creations with the Pines'.

While at first she's a little worried about going back there, Pacifica starts spending a lot of time at the Shack, even with the twins gone. It's a place of comfort. She gets closer to Soos and Melody, who become pseudo- parents to her, and eventually she finds her going there after school much more than she does her own place.

Wendy and Robbie become super close friends once the awkwardness and hostility fades, and they end up hanging out loads.

With Soos, Melody, and Abuelita all living in the Shack, there's just not enough room for everyone when the Pines' come to visit. If they're there for only a couple days, usually they lodge on couches and on inflatable mattresses on the floor. But if they're there for an extended amount of time, like over the Summer, they stay at the McGucket manor. McGucket is more than happy to let them stay, and the place is huge and has more than enough room. (Also, if anyone notices that Ford's bed is empty during the night, and he and McGucket come out of the same room, they don't mention it.)

Soos and McGucket start to bond over crazy inventions. Soos himself, while not quite an inventor, is very handy, and he has an excellent imagination and can make up the coolest of things, which McGucket can almost always make with no trouble, laws of physics be damned. They've almost burnt down half the town, and probably destroyed parts of the McGucket manor, and definitely destroyed parts of the Shack, but they seem to be having fun.

Pacifica finds herself hanging around McGucket Manor/ the old Northwest Mansion sometimes. She had a lot of bad memories of the place, but she ended up there a lit whenever the Pines' came to visit and stayed there over the Summer. Eventually, even when they're not there, she still comes by and begins to get along with McGucket. Sometimes when Soos goes there to help McGucket with his inventions, she comes along and might help out a bit to.

Before she was an adult, Pacifica basically gets unofficially but communally adopted by the whole town. Her parents are always so busy trying to find ways to regain their fortune and never really cared for her in the first place, so she often finds herself wandering town, and eventually gets quite close with a lot of the residents.

Josephine Grenda II Von Fundshauser

One more baby to the count!!

This time, it’s Grenda and Marius sweet daughter (I’m planing on giving her siblings but got nothing yet)

Josephine, or Josie, lives with her parents in Austria, where she was born and raised, until Grenda and Marius decided it’d be good for her to spend some time between normal, not-high-society people. At the age of 12, Josie was sent to her Mother’s hometown to spend six months with her grandparents as an exchange student.

Excited but also super nervous, Josie decided to stay close with the nephews and niece of Grenda’s old friend, Mabel Pines. With the triplets, she found not just a great group of friends but more adventures than she could ever imagine.

823) Szare Szeregi – kryptonim konspiracyjny Organizacji Harcerzy ZHP, potocznie także całego Związku Harcerstwa Polskiego, w okresie okupacji niemieckiej podczas II wojny światowej 1939–1945. Szare Szeregi zostały powołane 27 września 1939 w Warszawie przez grono członków Naczelnej Rady Harcerskiej w mieszkaniu Stanisława Borowieckiego, Szefa Głównej Kwatery Męskiej, przy ul. Noakowskiego 12. Szare Szeregi współpracowały z Delegaturą Rządu Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej na Kraj oraz Komendą Główną Armii Krajowej. Organizacja harcerzy opierała się na strukturze przedwojennego ZHP, posługiwano się kryptonimami:

Główna Kwatera – pasieka,

chorągwie – ule,

hufce – roje,

drużyny – rodziny,

zastępy – pszczoły.

Na czele organizacji harcerzy stał Naczelnik z Główną Kwaterą Pasieką.

Naczelnicy Szarych Szeregów:

Florian Marciniak (27 września 1939 – 6 maja 1943)

Stanisław Broniewski (12 maja 1943 – 3 października 1944)

Leon Marszałek (3 października 1944 – 18 stycznia 1945).

Główna Kwatera kierowała w okresie najpełniejszego rozwoju pracą 20 chorągwi harcerskich, wśród nich 5 obejmowało tereny zachodnie włączone do Rzeszy:

Łódzka – ul „Kominy” Komendantem Chorągwi w latach 1939–1945 był hm. Dominik Patora

Zagłębiowska – ul „Barbara”

Śląska – ul „Huta”.

Jedna chorągiew skupiała przebywających na terenie Generalnego Gubernatorstwa harcerzy z terenów zachodnich (ul „Chrobry”). Całością prac tych 6 chorągwi kierował Wydział Zachodni („Z”) Głównej Kwatery. Wydział Wschodni („W”) kierował pracą 5 chorągwi na terenach wschodnich:

Białostocka – ul „Biały”

Wileńska – ul „Brama”

Poleska – ul „Błota”

Nowogródzka – ul „Las”

Wołyńska – ul „Gleba”

1 chorągew skupiającą przebywających na terenie Generalnego Gubernatorstwa harcerzy z ziem wschodnich (ul „Złoty”).

Na terenie

Generalnego Gubernatorstwa

pracowało 8 chorągwi: 4 z nich stanowiły

Polskę Centralną („C”)

Warszawska – ul „Wisła”

Mazowiecka – ul „Puszcza”

Radomska – ul „Rady”

Lubelska – ul „Zboże”.

Cztery chorągwie stanowiły Polskę południową („P”):

Kielecka – ul „Skała”

Eugeniusz Stasiecki

Edward Zürn

Kazimierz Grenda.

Nazwa Szare Szeregi została przyjęta w całym kraju dopiero w 1940. Początkowo kryptonim ten funkcjonował w Poznaniu. Geneza kryptonimu związana jest z przeprowadzoną przez poznańskich harcerzy akcją informacyjną, podczas której roznoszono w godzinach wieczornych i nocnych ulotki do skrzynek listowych mieszkań zasiedlonych przez rodziny niemieckie z Litwy, Łotwy, Estonii. Rodziny polskie były przymusowo wysiedlane do Generalnego Gubernatorstwa, a rodziny niemieckie informowano o dobrowolnym opuszczeniu mieszkań przez Polaków. Ulotki, napisane w języku niemieckim, podające sprostowanie zostały podpisane inicjałami SS. Skrót rozwinęli w kryptonim Szare Szeregi, harcmistrz dr Józef Wiza i harcmistrz Roman Łyczywek. Kryptonim przyjął się w Poznaniu, w Chorągwi „Ul Przemysław”. Informację o przyjętej nazwie przywiózł do Warszawy, podharcmistrz Witold Marcinkowski. Nazwę przyjęto z poleceniem wprowadzenia kryptonimu w całej podziemnej Organizacji Harcerzy ZHP. Stan liczebny organizacji harcerzy, zmieniający się w poszczególnych okresach, na dzień 1 maja 1944 wynosił 8359 członków. Organizacja Harcerzy obejmowała (ze względów konspiracyjnych) początkowo jedynie młodzież powyżej 17 lat. Z czasem z powodu naporu młodych i konieczności zajęcia się nimi, rozpiętość wieku zwiększono. Z punktu widzenia programowego i metodycznego podzielono wówczas (najwcześniej w Warszawie – 3 listopada 1942) młodzież na 3 grupy:

Drużyny „Zawiszy” nie brały w zasadzie udziału w walce bieżącej. Natomiast przygotowywały się do pełnienia służby pomocniczej, a nauką na tajnych kompletach – do odbudowy Polski po wojnie. Spośród służb pomocniczych, pełnionych w okresie „przełomu”, najbardziej znana jest zorganizowana w czasie powstania warszawskiego, Harcerska Poczta Polowa.

Drużyny „BS” pełniły służbę w małym sabotażu, będącym akcją propagandową skierowaną do ludności polskiej (w Warszawie w ramach organizacji „Wawer-Palmiry”). Akcja obejmowała pisanie na murach, rozlepianie afiszy i nalepek, rozdawanie ulotek, kolportaż fikcyjnych dodatków nadzwyczajnych do gazet, podłączenie się do niemieckich megafonów, zrywanie niemieckich flag, usuwanie z wystaw i gablot niemieckich fotografii, gazowanie kin. Do najgłośniejszych akcji należy zdjęcie niemieckiej tablicy z pomnika Mikołaja Kopernika w Warszawie. Wykonywana przez drużyny BS akcja „N” była destrukcyjną akcją propagandową, skierowaną do Niemców, polegającą głównie na podrzucaniu dywersyjnych ulotek i gazetek. Drużyny BS uczestniczyły w akcji „WISS” („Wywiad – Informacja Szarych Szeregów”), polegającej na obserwacji niemieckich wojsk i ich ruchów. W ramach przygotowań do „przełomu” drużyny BS przechodziły przeszkolenie wojskowe, otrzymywały przydziały do jednostek AK (np. jako poczty dowódców, oddziały łączności i oddziały rozpoznawcze). Do okresu odbudowy przygotowywali się chłopcy z BS, podobnie jak z „Zawiszy”, ucząc się. W powstaniu warszawskim walczyli w Śródmieściu jako kompania, a w innych dzielnicach jako plutony piechoty.

Drużyny „GS”, podporządkowane „Kedywowi” (Kierownictwu Dywersji) AK, pełniły służbę w „wielkiej dywersji”. W Warszawie w sierpniu 1943 utworzono z nich batalion „Zośka”, którego trzecią kompanię wydzielono do zadań specjalnych („Agat”, później „Pegaz”). Wiosną 1944 powstał z niej batalion Parasol. Oddziały GS wykonały wiele akcji bojowych, w tym wysadzanie mostów kolejowych, pociągów, odbijanie więźniów (akcja pod Arsenałem, akcja w Celestynowie), zamachy na funkcjonariuszy aparatu terroru (Kutschera, Koppe, Bürckl, oraz odpowiedzialnych za katowanie Jana Bytnara „Rudego”: Schultza i Langego). Inne oddziały GS (np. Chorągwi Radomskiej i Krakowskiej) walczyły w oddziałach partyzanckich oraz prowadziły sabotaż kolejowy. Do „przełomu” oddziały GS przygotowywały się przez szkolenie w szkołach podchorążych (m.in. prowadzona przez Szare Szeregi Szkoła Podchorążych Piechoty Rezerwy „Agricola”) i szkolenie na kursach niższych dowódców (motorowe i saperskie). Do okresu odbudowy powojennej drużyny GS przygotowywały się kończąc naukę szkolną, podejmując tajne studia wyższe oraz samokształcenie (w tym tematykę tzw. ziem postulowanych). W okresie „przełomu” wiele oddziałów GS brało udział w walkach oddziałów AK, w tym w marszu na pomoc Warszawie. W powstaniu warszawskim, bataliony „Zośka” i „Parasol” walczyły na Woli, Starówce i Czerniakowie, ponosząc straty sięgające 80%. Kompania „Rudy” batalionu „Zośka” została nazwana przez Komendanta Głównego AK najlepszą kompanią Armii Krajowej. Batalion „Wigry” walczył na Woli i Starówce.

Członków organizacji obowiązywało przedwojenne Prawo i Przyrzeczenie harcerskie. Przyrzeczenie uzupełniono dodatkową rotą konspiracyjną:

„Ślubuję na Twoje ręce pełnić służbę w Szarych Szeregach, tajemnic organizacyjnych dochować, do rozkazów służbowych się stosować, nie cofnąć się przed ofiarą życia”.

Podstawową zasadą programu było “wychowanie przez walkę“. Program został sprecyzowany w koncepcji Dziś, jutro, pojutrze. „Dziś” oznaczało okres konspiracji i przygotowanie do powstania, „Jutro” – otwartą walkę zbrojną z okupantem, powstanie „Pojutrze” – pracę w wolnej Polsce. Organizacja harcerzy prowadziła ponadto akcję „M”, usiłując oddziaływać na całą młodzież niezorganizowaną. Wydawała wiele pism, w tym pisma Głównej Kwatery: „Źródło”, później „Dęby”, „Drogowskaz”, „Pismo Młodych”, „Brzask”, wydawała liczne broszury i książki, m.in. „O powołaniu naszego pokolenia”, „Wielka gra”, „Przodownik” i „Kamienie na szaniec”. Wyszkoliła ok. 300 instruktorów. Oddział specjalny – III Kompania Wydzielona (nazwy: „Agat” – „Pegaz” – Parasol). Zadaniem oddziału było likwidowanie szczególnie szkodliwych hitlerowców – głównie funkcjonariuszy SS lub innych wysokich oficerów niemieckich. Organizacja harcerzy poniosła bardzo duże straty, m.in. 20 lutego 1944 zginął prawdopodobnie w obozie Gross-Rosen twórca i pierwszy Naczelnik Florian Marciniak (aresztowany 6 maja 1943), w powstaniu warszawskim poległ zastępca Naczelnika E. Stasiecki. Szare Szeregi zostały rozwiązane 17 stycznia 1945.

Ważniejsze akcje Szarych Szeregów:

Akcja Wieniec (I i II) – wysadzanie pociągów

Meksyk II – 26 marca 1943 – Akcja pod Arsenałem – odbicie 21 więźniów z niemieckiego konwoju policyjnego, w tym Jana Bytnara „Rudego”, który zmarł po trzech dniach od ran, jakie hitlerowcy zadali mu podczas przesłuchań. Po akcji zmarli również: „Alek” – Aleksy Dawidowski i „Buzdygan” – Tadeusz Krzyżewicz. Dowódcą akcji był Stanisław Broniewski „Orsza”, a jego zastępcą Tadeusz Zawadzki „Zośka”

Meksyk IV – odbicie Floriana Marciniaka (akcja odwołana)

Celestynów – 20 maja 1943 odbicie transportu więźniów do Oświęcimia

Akcja Kutschera – 1 lutego 1944 – zamach (udany) na komendanta warszawskiej policji i SS Franza Kutscherę. Niemcy wstrzymali egzekucje dokonywane wcześniej publicznie na ulicach miasta

Akcja Koppe – nieudany zamach na szefa policji niemieckiej w Generalnym Gubernatorstwie

„Taśma” – Sieczychy – 20 sierpnia 1943 – likwidacja strażnic granicznych. Podczas tej akcji zginął Tadeusz Zawadzki „Zośka”

„N” – akcja propagandowa wśród Niemców osłabiająca ich ducha walki

„M” – akcja Młodzież.

Oddzielnie, ale także w ramach ZHP, działała Organizacja Harcerek, nosząca kryptonim „Bądź gotów” i „Związek Koniczyn”, zorganizowała Pogotowie Harcerek. Przy Kwaterze Głównej Szarych Szeregów działała od 1940 r. żeńska Grupa Wykonawcza Łączniczek i Kolporterek podległa Mirosławowi Cieplakowi „Giewontowi”; była to ok. 50 – osobowa grupa harcerek (w 1944), powstała z kręgu starszoharcerskiego przy 54 Warszawskiej Drużynie Harcerskiej, a następnie z utworzonej 54 Żeńskiej Drużyny Harcerskiej im. Władysława Jagiełły. Jej drużynową przez cały czas okupacji była Romana Łukaszewska „Ewa”. Głównym zadaniem tego zespołu był kolportaż prasy konspiracyjnej Szarych Szeregów.

Whole Again -Chapter 10

Whole Again on AO3

For a thirteen-year-old girl from Piedmont California, Mabel Pines thought herself fairly resourceful. She could bring cheer to even the most black-hearted individuals, befriend almost anyone. Even in the worst situations, she could pull out the positives and look on the bright side. And even if there were no real positives, she would try to find a solution where everyone else had slopped looking.

That was what she was doing now. Trying to find a solution to something that was completely hopeless. She refused to be without hope that there was something else happening. Because Mable did think that something else was happening; there had to be some other explanation to Stan’s behavior. Even if her Grunkle was possessed, they had saved Stan from Bill before, they could do it again! She just needed to think. She just needed time to do research.

Dipper had chosen to take Grunkle Ford’s lead; he had gone to the library and had found as much on demonic possession and exorcisms as possible. The books and printouts and documentaries were stacked on his bed and spread out on the floor; is computer was open and was playing a scene from a horror movie: The Daemon Removal Squad. It was corny. Mabel was trying a different approach.

She and Dipper had gone over all the information they had and had categorized it from most concerning to least concerning; a color gradient from purple to brown (her favorite and least favorite colors respectively). Grunkle Ford was at first worried that Stan was acting kinda strange. But Grunkle Stan was always kinda strange; he called himself ‘Mr. Mystery’ after all.

Stan had shown that he could read Gaelic (and the twins knew he could speak Spanish), he was adapting to technology at a much faster rate than even Grunkle Ford, and he knew about chemistry. The biggest questions Mabel had were answering the mysterious treats and blue fire handshake. Those were gonna be hard.

So, the question now was, were these things evidence enough that Stan wasn’t himself? Dipper said that Grunkle Ford was first thinking about trauma. Maybe that was it. Maybe Stan was having some sort of phycological break and he thought he was Bill after having Bill in his mind, and then having it erased and then put back together. Mabel’s head hurt just thinking about it.

Stan knew about chemistry, so that meant he likely knew about chemical reactions and cool chemical tricks that like the ones their teacher had shown them. Mabel had seen something on YouTube about a guy that could use some kind of chemical to light his hand on fire and the flames were blue. Maybe he was just playing a really mean joke on Ford. Maybe he was really sick and they needed to get him to a therapist.

These were all things that were much more likely than a dream daemon coming back from being erased. That was as close to dead as she thinks Bill could be.

Ford had told Dipper that a package of toffee peanuts and jellybeans appeared as if by magic. But Mabel was good at finding things that were hard to get. Her hidden stash of Smile Dip attested to that ability. She had gone back to the Dusk-2-Dawn and had a wonderful conversation with the ghost couple there. They had let her take as much Smile Dip as she wanted. It was her guilty pleasure; anything she saw in Smile Dip Land was way less scary than what she had experienced in Gravity Falls last summer.

She tracked down the producer of toffee peanuts and contacted them. It helped that she had no fear of talking on the phone; her brother always had to triple check that he had the right number and then read from a script. They were an American based company, but their offshore branches had different production lines than what was in America. So, while toffee peanuts were discontinued in America because they weren’t popular (and really who would like them but her Grunkle Stan), they were still available in Denmark where they were really popular. A quick search told her that Iceland and Denmark were close trade partners and it was likely that Stan could have picked up a bag somewhere.

So, it wasn’t at the bakery he said it was. Maybe Stan forgot where he found them and he didn’t think it was a big deal. They jellybeans were also explained away as Stan hiding them and surprising Ford the next morning. It was all so silly really; her boys were just jumping to conclusions. Nope, no supernatural things going on here. Everything could be explained away. But, to be on the safe side, she should probably help Dipper read up on exorcisms.

Most of the books and articles were religious texts and talked about using holy water and crosses. Mabel didn’t think that crosses were going to do anything against Bill. The idea of holy water was still up for debate, though; she wasn’t entirely convinced it wouldn’t just burn her Grunkle Stan, possessed or not. Their family was a mix between Jewish and modern Cristian, but aside from the memories that Dipper had told her about, she didn’t think that Stan was religious in any way.

There was also a lot of notes suggesting telling the person how much their family loved them would help drive out the daemon. They could do that! They all loved Grunkle Stan! And he had gone so long without being told someone loved him, it would do him good. Maybe that was how Bill had taken over Stan; Grunkle Ford wasn’t telling his brother how much he loved him. Next time they got to talk to him, she was going to give her Grunkle Ford a piece of her mind. They had spent so much time apart; they needed to tell each other how much they loved each other! Just thinking about being separated from Dipper for thirty days (let alone thirty years) made her want to rush over and hug her brother.

For now, she would settle for just sitting on the floor by his bed and resting her head against his leg. She felt him absently reach down and run his fingers through her hair. It always helped her calm down when they were younger. Just like she used to draw pictures with her fingers (and sometimes markers) on Dipper’s back and tell him stories when he was sick or couldn’t sleep. Dipper would never, ever admit it, but he used to like it when she did his make-up; something about liking the way the make-up brushed felt on his face. They hadn’t done that in a while. She thought that they were getting to old for stuff like that, but maybe this was the perfect time to try again. They both were having a rough time acclimating back to normal life.

There was no weirdness at home. No gnomes, no magic, no weird flowers that made you all dizzy, no ghosts, no dinosaurs…just nothing. It was all so…normal. So normal it was boring. She never thought she would want to be surrounded by crazy weirdness and magical creatures. Heck, before this past summer, she didn’t even watch Ghost Harassers with Dipper; now she eagerly sat with him and even asked questions.

Dipper was also suffering from weirdness withdrawal. His new journal to record all the weird things in Piedmont was empty. The first few pages were filled with introductions, and lists of things he wanted to see and was packed full of notes from Grunkle Ford’s journals, but no entries of Dipper’s own. Her new scrapbook sat neglected too. She had taken tons of pictures the first few weeks back and during their first week of school, but then she just…didn’t want to anymore. It was like she didn’t have the energy or the interest like she used to. She still liked to draw, her wall was covered with drawings, but they were all of the same things; her friends, Grenda and Candy, Wendy and Soos, Waddles, the Mystery Shack and her Grunkles.

Stan and Ford had sent them a postcard from Rhode Island before they set sail. It was a picture of them standing proudly on their new boat, The Stan O’War II. All her drawings after that had been of them on the ship, fighting sea monsters and hugging penguins. Soos had sent her a letter with some of his “Stan-fiction” and they had started writing back and forth about what her Grunkles were up to. She didn’t know how she was going to tell Soos that his dad might be in trouble. Because Stan was Soos’s dad; it didn’t matter if they weren’t related, family was family.

It didn’t take long for Mabel to get bored of reading about all the dramatic passages she was supposed to say when exorcising a daemon, and she had no idea where they were gonna get a bucket of salt blessed by the Pope from. Instead, she focused on finishing the little trench coat she had knitted for the owl plush she made to look like Grunkle Ford. It was a project she had started not too long after she got back home. She had picked out the stuffed animals that reminded her the most of her friends and family and had gotten to work.

She had picked out a frilled lizard for Grenda (complete with knitted pink shirt and bow), a mouse for Candy (with a perfect little green stripped dress), Soos was a gopher (she had added a plastic fish bowl over the green hat after reading Grunkle Ford’s notes on Soos) and Wendy was a fox (she had made a replica of Dipper’s old pine tree had out of felt).

She had been working on Grunkle Stan and Grunkle Ford, (a silver fox and grey owl respectively) and hadn’t finished Grunkle Ford’s trench coat yet. She had made their glasses out of pipe cleaners and that plastic film that came from those envelopes with bills and other grown-up mail. Stan’s fez had been made out of felt covered cardboard and yarn, but as Dipper pointed out, it should be on Soos’s head now. The fishbowl had been replaced and instead she knitted a red beanie for Stan. She considered sewing Ford and Stan’s hands (er, paw and wing) together, but she suspected that Dipper was sneaking owl Ford back to his bed at night. She wasn’t the only one missing her family.

She felt the hand running through her hair stop as Dipper checked his phone again. They hadn’t heard from their Great Uncle Ford in a while. Dipper had sent multiple texts and had tried calling twice. She knew that he shouldn’t worry. Ford was probably getting sleep, or they were going through a bad patch. Maybe. She really hoped they were ok. Dipper’s phone sat like a holy relic on the nightstand.

After twelve hours with no word, they were starting to get worried. At seventeen hours, neither one could eat more than a few bites of dinner without feeling sick. By twenty-two hours, they were pouring over books and references and old notes of Dipper’s on Grunkle Ford’s journals just to distract themselves.

By the time their parents had come to tell them to go to bed, Mabel had stress knitted a scarf that would have been able to tie Grunkle Stan and Grunkle Ford together from head to toe. She also had a stash of Mabel juice in a resealable water bottle hidden under her bed. She wasn’t planning on sleeping and miss any contact from Ford. The fact that Dipper had also snuck in a bottle told her all she needed to know; they were in this for the long haul. They were both way too anxious to sleep now.

What didn’t help was their mom coming in and asking them if she could ask them a serious question.

“I guess, what’s wrong?” Dipper was always the one to get to the point and ask the right questions.

“Are we in trouble?” She, on the other hand, had a habit of guessing at the problem and jumping to solutions first.

“No, no, of course not. Dad and I were just worried about you. You’ve been acting…well, a little strange since coming home. And for the past day I haven’t been able to get two words out of either of you.” Diane sat on the end of Mabel’s bed, gesturing for Dipper to come join them. He did, but chose to stand rather than find a spot amongst Mabel’s pile of stuffed animal friends and family.

Diane sighed. Mabel could tell this was hard for their mom. They wanted to tell her and dad both what had happened to them, but would their parents even believe them? Heck, she wouldn’t have believed it if she hadn’t lived it; it sounded like a best-selling teen novel. Mable sat her finished Grunkle Ford owl in her lap, fully intending on soaking up the hugs she could from it before Dipper stole it for the night.

Their mom looked disquieted. Like she didn’t actually want the answer to the question that she wanted to ask. Diane steeled herself, taking a steadying breath before the question came in stutters from her lips. “Did…oh God,…did your Grunkle Stan ever…ask you to do something you didn’t want to do?” Diane was shaking and wouldn’t look her children in the eyes.

Mabel shared a confused look with her brother. Neither one could make out what their mom had really meant. This was really weird. Their mom never acted like this. And why was she asking about Stan? Did she know? Had she figured out what was wrong? But her question didn’t make any sense. Had Stan asked them to do something they didn’t want to? Well, yeah, but why was that bad? They asked Dipper and Mabel to do things like chores and homework all the time; how was Stan different? She reached for her Stan plush and frowned at it. Dipper answered for them; scratching at his arm and looking concerned.

“Well, I mean, sure. We helped in the gift shop, and did chores and stuff. And Stan made us go fishing, which actually was kind of fun, but nothing, abnormal. Not any different from what we do here. Why?” Dipper looked skeptical. Good, he had picked up on the hidden meaning behind mom’s question too. Mable looked from her brother back to her mom, mouth pulled into a quizzical frown.

“You’re sure? Because even if he told you not to tell anyone, you know you can tell us.” She looked pointedly at Mabel who had not yet responded. “You won’t get in trouble. I just want to know if he…if…” She couldn’t finish.

Diane was white. She looked so scared. Mabel didn’t understand what her mom was worried about or what she was trying to get at, but if her parents were this scared, well. It was time. Even if their parents didn’t believe them, it was time to tell them what happened in Gravity Falls.

She looked to Dipper and silently asked for confirmation. He nodded, turning to gather what notes he had. She set her plushies aside and leaned over to the side table and pulled out her scrapbook; the one she had lovingly encased in glitter glue and fabric to keep protected.

“Mom?” Mabel said, clutching the wrapped scrapbook to her chest.

“We have something to tell you. Something that you probably won’t believe, but we need you to try.” Dipper finished the statement for her, pulling out his own journal and all the remaining notes he had from the past summer.

“Grunkle Stan and Grunkle Ford are not what they seem.”

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Diane Pines thought herself a very caring and knowledgeable mother. She liked to think that she knew what her children were thinking or feeling. She knew they were worried about something, but no matter how many times or how indirectly she asked, neither of her twins would divulge any information. She couldn’t even sneak a peek at her son’s phone; both twins had been carrying it around in shifts and neither one would let it leave their person.

Nothing seemed to get through. She had a feeling that it might relate to the happenings over the summer. She, nor her husband, Daniel, were stupid. The children had come back from Gravity Falls very different then when they left. At first, with the nightmares, she had thought they had been neglected or abused, but they insisted that Stanley (and later Stanford) had been the best of caretakers. They had refused to talk about their nightmares.

Some eavesdropping let her know that her children didn’t think that their parents would believe them. Mason had insisted that she and Dan were too hardheaded about the paranormal, while Mabel had decided that she didn’t want to worry them if they did choose to believe the crazy adventures the twins had gotten up to over the summer. The fact that her children had decided their parents would dismiss their concerns or that the summer’s events would worry them, made her even more afraid.

It hurt that her children didn’t feel they could come to her with their problems. But, they were thirteen and had spent their first summer away from home. They were growing up, and they were learning how to deal with their own problems. But she couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something sinister going on. It didn’t help that she was embittered towards Stanley (nee Stanford) after the truth had come out.

“Oh sure, lie about your identity for thirty years while you take over your brother’s name and house while you track down said missing brother! While we’re at it, let’s fake your death and then distance yourself from the family until your father dies and your nephew contacts you out of guilt!” Her husband had patiently listed to her rant and rave in the kitchen the night the twins came home. They had told her a fairly condensed story about how Stanford had gone missing thirty years ago and Stanley had kept his brother’s house by turning it into a tourist trap and spent those thirty years trying to find his brother. That Stanford had magically come home unexpectedly one day after government agents had gotten involved.

She was very angry with Stanley. And she had no idea what to think of the real Stanford; though since he had been missing for THIRTY YEARS, and NO ONE was willing to say where he had been, well, both twins were on her ‘shit list’.

Her children loved them, though. So as angry as she and her husband were, they didn’t let it show. For their kids, they would try to forgive. It didn’t hurt that Dan was very excited to meet the intellectual prodigy that was Stanford Filbrick Pines. Upon discovering that the con man and tourist attraction purveyor was not the person who had written “Accounting for Physical and Chemical Irregularities Occurring in Objects affected by Differing Conditions of Spacetime” and the actual author was far more ‘nerdy’, he was elated and eager to have them over for the holidays. Unfortunately (though fortunately for her) the twins had gone exploring the Arctic Sea at the end of the summer and would not be back on this side of the country for at least eight months (or so they had planned). A Spring visit would also allow her time to properly clean her house and prepare the guest room. It had become her office space of late; she worked as an appraiser for a realtor agency and needed a space to work from home.

It also gave her time to get over any residual anger. Some days it seemed so easy to forgive, when her children were smiling and laughing about their summer antics and reminiscing about all the fun they had. Some nights it was hard, damn near impossible, to forgive when her children woke up screaming and clinging to one another for comfort. Neither one ever willing to tell their parents what was wrong.

It terrified her to think what might have happened that her own children wouldn’t talk about it. Dan had guiltily mention the family secret, and now both of them feared that their children had been witness (or, God forbid, participants) in…that. She didn’t want to think poorly of her husband’s family, but it was well known that they didn’t talk about Stanford and Stanley in polite company…or any company.

Diane had first met the man when the twins were born. He had rushed down from Oregon upon Sherman’s call. In less than seven hours (she suspected he had neglected road traffic laws) he was in the waiting room with her husband and Sherman. They had joked about the last time Stanley (then Stanford) had seen his nephew, was when he had been an infant being babysat by Gina and Filbrick. The night that his brother (he) had been kicked out. Stanley had taken a somber look until the nurse had told them that Diane had gone into labor. Only Dan was allowed in the delivery room, Stan and Sherman remained outside looking through the window.

After the twins had been born, cleaned, and passed around to everyone (Stan had stolen them from Sherman and had both parents laughing), they had allowed her to walk down to the cafeteria and get food. Her father-in-law had gone with her, the other men too busy cooing over the infants to bother.

She had asked about Stan, about why he was so distant from the rest of the family. Sherman had told her than his younger siblings were close. Unusually close. Apparently, there had been some…suspicions, that they were far closer than is right for siblings. He had gotten uncomfortable when she asked how and wouldn’t explain further. All he said was it wasn’t something the family talked about. The only reason he knew, was because Gina had needed to ask someone and Filbrick would have…well he would have handled it poorly.

Marianne (her mother-in-law) had just gotten off a long shift in the geriatrics ward and had come down to see the new additions to the family. It gave her enough time to ask her husband about Stanley (then Stanford). He told her that his dad never talked about it, and grandma refused to look at him when he asked. He could never get anything out of his dad. She had an opportunity to go straight to the source when the twins were 11 and Filbrick suffered a sudden heart attack.

After Filbrick had passed and Gina was preparing to move in with Sherman and Marianne. The eldest son couldn’t find it in himself to put his mother in an assisted living home. They had all flown out to New Jersey that summer to help her pack and sell the house. Diane had gone to Gina for conformation about what happened to cause Stanley and Stanford to be such a taboo subject. It took time, but in her vulnerable state, Gina was willing to divulge a nearly forty-year secret.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Gina and Filbrick had gone out to dinner to celebrate their anniversary and had left the twins behind. They were eighteen; she could trust them for a few hours to have some time alone with her husband. Sherman was living on his own by then and was going steady with Marianne. Everything had been going…well, generally speaking. Stanford was on his way to graduating in the top of his class that year and Stanley…well Stanley had been pulling his grades up steadily. They wouldn’t get him into any college, but he would graduate and could get a job in town.

Although, Filbrick had his own thoughts about that. He was determined to teach Stanley how to be a man and provide for himself. She never understood why he was so hard on Stanley and not Stanford; they were both her special little boys and she loved them equally. She had always tried to be fair, but Filbrick had homed in on Stanley and had not yet let up. Boxing lessons, refusing to get him new glasses when he had gotten into a fight that had broken his, insisting that he not cry because it wasn’t manly, telling him to take his wounds like a man when he lost a particularly bad boxing match, telling him he punched like a girl, criticizing him for wearing a pink suit to prom…it just never stopped. Stanford never got the same treatment and she never knew why.

They had gotten into a tiff in the car, her and Filbrick, about what Stanley was going to do after graduation. Filbrick had off-handedly considered finding him his own place, or at the very least making Stanley pay rent. No mention was made about Stanford or any expectations about what Stanford should do. She had had enough. She was out of the car and marching up the stairs to the main house in a flurry of anger as soon as the car was in park. She as so done with Filbrick’s unfair treatment of the twins. Sherman was the golden child, the first born; it was like Stanford and Stanley were unwanted extras. Sherman and the twins were only five years part for goodness sake! Gina was just mounting the top of the stairs when she saw…it.

Her sons, her twin boys…

They had been curled up with each other watching a romantic drama on TV. Not entirely unusual for the boys; they were damn near joined at the hip, partners in crime. Nope, cuddling was not unusual for the Pines Twins, at least, far out of Filbrick’s sight anyway. The delicate kiss shared between them was, however, very unusual. The kiss is what stopped Gina in her tracks; balanced at the top of the stairs.

Gina’s mind stalled, turned off. She didn’t understand what she was seeing, her mind couldn’t comprehend the sight in front of her. Her sons’ eyes filled with fear. They hadn’t moved. The boys had been so frightened and shocked by their mother’s sudden arrival that they hadn’t even made an effort to separate themselves. Stanley’s hand resting on Stanford’s cheek, other hand braced against the back of the sofa. Stanford himself had buried his hands into Stanley’s hair and shirt collar. She suspected that this was not the first time this had happened. The thought made her ashamedly queasy.

Gina had been so relieved that Filbrick had stopped to take care of something in the shop. She feared what would have happened if he had seen them. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, listening for the door downstairs. “Your father is coming. This”, she gestured at them, “will. not. happen. again.” Her words were punctuated with barely leashed emotion. The twins had scrambled away from one another; Stanford scooping up a physics book and Stanley rapidly changing the channel to a boxing match. They were just sliding into place and Gina finishing hanging her coat when Filbrick entered.

He had nodded in greeting to both boys, who greeted him quickly and politely in response. Filbrick entered the kitchen, apartment eerily quiet with the only sound coming from the television announcer. Both twins refused to look in her direction; Stanford burying his face in his textbook and Stanley’s eyes glued to the screen. What was she going to do? What was she going to say? What do you say when you catch your children, your twin boys, kissing each other?

Filbrick grabbed a beer from the fridge and headed back down to the shop to repair some appliance he had gotten in that afternoon, pausing to kiss her cheek and remind the kids to clean up after the match was over. Popcorn bowls, sodas, toffee peanuts and jellybeans littered the coffee table. When the door to the shop was firmly closed, Gina paced a finger to her lips and pointed to the twins’ room. They obeyed, sparing less than a moment to look at one another. She followed them, closing the bedroom door softly. She steeled herself a moment, pushing down her emotions and calming her racing mind, before addressing the one problem she never thought she’d face.

They refused to look at her. The bunkbed they had as children was still pushed up against the right wall; they had refused to separate the beds as they got older. Stanley sat on the bottom bunk, Stanford stood beside the desk. “Look at me.” The harshness of her voice startled her. She needed to not be anger. She honestly didn’t know why she was angry. She didn’t know why she insisted they look at her. It was just going to be harder. Stanford complied, hesitantly, and eyes noticeably watery. Stanley couldn’t; his head was bent low, fists griping the bedsheets and shoulders hunched. It would do.

“I don’t know how long this had been going on” Stanford opened his mouth to respond, but she held her hand up to stop him, “and I don’t care. It cannot happen again. Do you understand me? Never again. What if it was your father, huh?” Both boys flinched at the mention of Filbrick Pines. They were both so scared of their father, and she could understand why. The man was hard edged and had very specific and uncompromising view of the world and his family’s place in it. If the family stepped out of line, they would know. Stanford nor Stanley fit the mold Filbrick tried to shove them in.

Gina was a little more understanding, but this…this was going to be hard. There was no good way to handle this. It was wrong. It shouldn’t be happening. Thank God, they were both men; she didn’t want to think about the potential problems if either Stanley of Stanford had been female. She felt a small lump of disgust well up in the pit of her stomach. She didn’t understand, she couldn’t understand. However, she would not let her feelings inject themselves into this; she loved her sons, it didn’t matter what they did. But this needed to stop.

“Look,” she knelt down to Stanley’s side; his closed eyes barely holding back tears, “I won’t deny that this will take some time for me to come to terms with. But if you are…of that persuasion, if you both are,” She paused to look at Stanford, his eyes hidden behind the glare of his glasses, “I won’t love you any less. Do you understand me? I still love you.” Stanley looked up at her then. Tears pooling at the corners of his eyes. Stanford had taken a step towards them; he looked dazed, as if her statement was unexpected. She wouldn’t lie to them and tell them everything would be ok, they deserved the truth. But she would not stop loving them. It would just take time, a long time, for her to be ok with this. She continued.

“But please, please, no more of this. Not…” she paused, trying to find the right words. “Not with each other.” It was so strange how the thought of either of her boys kissing another man didn’t bring up the same feelings of revulsion as before. She knew they were close. She knew they didn’t have other friends. She had heard about what happened at prom (she spent four hours trying to get the punch out of their suits). She knew how hard it was for them to make friends, let alone girlfriends (or she guessed, boyfriends). She should have seen this coming. She should have seen how close they were and intervened. That was why Filbrick had been so hard on Stanley. It had to be. He knew something, suspected something. Oh, God. If he ever found out…if he ever knew what they had done. Gina felt a spike of fear race down her spine.

“And don’t ever let your father know. Dear God, don’t ever let him find out.” She took a moment to collect herself and stand up. She gathered Stanley up in a bone crushing hug, squeezing him a moment before lifting one arm to allow Stanford to join them. He kissed both of their heads in turn. “I don’t care if you’re…if you like men. I still love you. But please be careful. The world is not a nice place to people who are different. You both should know that by now.” She felt Stanford’s hand grip tighter into the fabric of her dress. Yes, the whole family knew what being different was like. But they were Pines, they wouldn’t let that stop them. She wanted her children to be happy. She would do anything to ensure that they were happy and healthy. Her next words were barely a whisper, mumbled into Stanley’s hair line.

“My advice, wait until you are on your own before…being open. I don’t know how your father will react, but if you’re on your own, there’s nothing he can do.” She held them tighter. She wouldn’t let go of them no matter what. She’d promised herself, even if she had to visit them in prison, she would hold onto them. She pretended not to notice Stanford’s fingers shyly tracing down Stanley’s arm. They were comforting each other. That was it. Why did it feel like she was trying to convince herself?

She let them go after giving them both another squeeze. She started towards the door, pausing a moment to look back at her sons. She pretended to not see them discreetly reach out for one another and clasp hands. “We never spoke of this. This never happened.” They both nodded. She left, closing the door behind her.

In the coming weeks, Gina pretended not to notice the telltale signs of teen hormones; mussed hair, bruised lips, furtive eyes. She didn’t know what to do about any of this. Despite her warnings, she suspected they hadn’t stopped. Had continued to explore things with one another. She was relieved that the thought didn’t make her feel sick anymore. Now she was just scared for them. She tried to tell herself they had just been experimenting with a trusted person. That they would grow out of it in time, it was just hormones. But it all got lost in the wake of the science fair.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Tearfully, Gina confessed that she and Filbrick were the reasons why Stanley (then Stanford) was so alienated from his family. It had come out at after they heard about Stanley’s death. She had let slip what had occurred that night. Filbrick had been livid and had forbidden anyone from going to the funeral. She had tried to call up to the house in Oregon, but only got an answering machine. She left a tearful explanation of why they didn’t go, her love and her forgiveness, asking for forgiveness in return. Stan had died in a car accident not too far from Gravity Falls after all. He had probably been trying to see Stanford. Trying to make up.

Diane had sat and comforted Gina for a while after her tale. She told Dan a very brief recap of the story. They agreed to never mention it to the kids, nor ever speak openly about it. It was something the Pines family was deeply ashamed of. And it had happened so long ago, she didn’t want it to color her children’s perspective of their family.

As soon as the kids had gotten home and the wonderous tale of lost brothers and hidden identities had been told, Dan had called his father and Grandmother up and informed them of the news. From what she heard from Dan, who heard from Sherman, who had overheard half a conversation between the twins and Gina, the news had not been received well.

“Thirty years, Stanford! Where the hell were you?! Did you get kidnapped, just up and leave with no explanation?! And you Stanley, I know you’re listening, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Taking over your brother’s name, making us think you were dead! Do you know how much pain you put me through?!”

It would be almost funny if it wasn’t so heartbreaking. Apparently, they had promised to come visit as soon as the next summer rolled around. Gina was not a woman to be trifled with; she had survived a marriage with Filbrick Pines after all, she was as tough as they came.

It was all wonderful and good…until her children had woken up screaming less than a week home, and refused to talk about what had happened. They were at their wits end when Dan brought up the ‘incident’. She had hesitantly called Gina the next day, telling her about the children and inquiring about Stan’s ‘persuasions’. She didn’t want to accuse, but these were her children. She would do anything, come hell or high water, to keep them safe.

As much as the older members of the family had reassured her and Dan that nothing had happened to the kids. That neither Stanley nor Stanford would ever even consider laying a hand on the kids that way, Diane couldn’t get the thought out of her head. Her children would not be waking up screaming most nights if something horrible hadn’t happened.

So, she had made up her mind. She would ask them flat out. Or, she would try. They were children; would they even understand what had happened to them? She wondered when she had started thinking of it as what rather than if. She had almost convinced herself that Stanley Pines was a dangerous man, a disgusting piece of wasted space when she finally confronted her children. The answer she got was very far removed from what she expected.

“Mom?” He beautiful, sweet and innocent daughter looked at her with eyes that suddenly looked much older and wiser than they should. Mabel held out the wrapped scrap book that contained memories from the past summer.

“We have something to tell you. Something that you probably won’t believe, but we need you to try.” Her darling son held the same hardness in his eyes, like he’d been to war and survived its atrocities.

“Grunkle Stan and Grunkle Ford are not what they seem.”

BillDip Week 2017, Day 6: Favorite AU

Monster Falls is my favorite AU of all, of that there is no doubt... Also the second and last part of the chapter of the first day. I hope you like it.

Notes and Warnings: Monster Falls. A kind of marriage proposal.

Do you?

The birds sang in the trees, there were children's laughter and not the typical whining, on the first floor of the house there were no screams or fights and no death threats – And he, Dipper Pines, had awakened quietly without a certain demon with triangle-shaped marks on his body jumping into his nest to wake him.

The day had begun weird. Too weird.

The window of his room was open but Bill was nowhere in his room, hadn't Bill come in all night? – It's not as if he wanted to but he was almost accustomed to that the demon lay next to him and that at the first ray of the Sun he was already bothering him to go out and to go to the forest and the town.

Dipper scratched his head... He had awakened in a good way... Bill hadn't come all night... Everything seemed calm in Gravity Falls... His house was at peace... Did Bill upset his colleagues, again? It wouldn't be the first time Bill had angered any of the other demons, or even the main members of the Council, and he usually got away with it – Dipper still suspected that Bill wasn't well off but his silly boyfriend told him that he was safe from some repercussions.

Not wanting to pay much attention to the fact that Bill hadn't come to bed with him – Which he didn't care about at all – Dipper decided it was best to go down to breakfast with his family... Maybe Bill had been caught by Ford as the demon sneaked through his window – Wait, did that mean the suffocating silence in his house? Did Ford finally flay Bill as he had always promised?! It's not like he cares... Not at all.

The cervitaur finally entered the kitchen where a mermaid, a gargoyle, and a sphinx were having breakfast.

“G' Morning, Dip-Dop!” Mabel waved to see her brother, “It seems that someone doesn't look very happy~”

“What are you talking about? I slept perfectly last night.” Dipper assured his sister as he took a bowl to pour some milk and cereal.

“Sure? I didn't hear noises last night in your room.” Mabel winked, chuckling.

“Mabel!” Dipper yelled flushed as he approached his sister, while looking sideways at Stanford, the sphinx didn't look very happy either. “Hey, Grunkle Stan.” Dipper called his Great Uncle, the gargoyle nodded as he continued to eat breakfast, “It's just curiosity,” Dipper heard his sister chuckle, “Did Bill leave early?” Did you even hear if Bill came to the house?

“Don't ask me about him,” The gargoyle sipped his coffee, “For the first time the house is in harmony without having to see your psychotic boyfriend and the paranoid Ford fighting.” The gargoyle simply said, at the same time that Stanford was quarreling about his paranoia about Bill.

So Bill didn't come all night? And didn't even come to wake him as usual? Here was something really weird. And Dipper was going to find out so he had to end up with another bullet in his leg.

“Don't worry, DipDop,” Mabel dropped her head on his shoulder, Dipper felt a chill run down his back, his sister's hair was wet and he hadn't put on a shirt yet, “Whatever your wicked boyfriend is planning can't be bad.”

“Mabel, what did we say about that phrase?” Stan looked at his grand-niece.

“Oh, we shouldn't say it when Dipper or Grunkle Ford is near.”

Dipper had confirmed that his family knew nothing of Bill since the last time they saw him, maybe his silly boyfriend had his reasons or finally Ford had found a spell to keep him out of the house and he was waiting outside. Be that as it may, he'd better finish breakfast and go find him in town or in the woods, or wherever the sound of laughter comes.

The town seemed to be in peace, the monsters who lived there gladly greeted him, some with much more respect, to which Dipper was tired of telling them to keep on treating him as usual. To each of them Dipper asked if they had seen Bill but each of the monsters denied him, none of them knew where the demon was.

“Uncle Dipper!” Carlos shouted from the swings and caught the attention of the cervitaur.

At least there was someone here who could be of help. Not that Bill would like to be babysitting in the park, especially if we talk about Carlos, Isabella, Adrien, and Grenda II, the only children who seemed to have no respect for Bill.

“Hi, kids.” Dipper approached the elf and the vampire playing on the swings with the youngest of the werewolves on the branches of the trees while the little toad girl was sitting under the tree watching the other older children taking care of her, “How long have you been here?” He hoped to sound casual.

“From the morning, I think Adrien slept here.” Isabella pointed to the werewolf who stuck out his tongue.

“So you have been here since early,” Which was obvious, they were young, they had energy to spare, they were the new group of Cool Kids, good for mischief and get away with it – They are the perfect candidates to do tricks with Bill Freaking Cipher! If Bill wanted to have – ?

“Uncle Dipper, are you all right?” Adrien asked, “Your face is totally red that could be compared to Aunt Wendy.”

“Ha! Sorry, I think I'm about to die. I'm kidding.” Dipper added when he saw Grenda II's worried face. “Well, what I was coming at was to know if any of you have seen Bill, I haven't seen him since the morning.”

The three children exchanged a look without Dipper seeing them.

“Perhaps Lord Cipher is in the woods, have you thought of that?” Carlos asked, pointing to the exit of the cave.

“That was what I was thinking.”

“I bet Mr. Cipher found something better than playing with a group of children who don't respect him.” Adrien commented. Dipper had to admit that Adrien had more of his aunt than his own father.

What else could Bill be doing in the woods other than torturing the poor forest creatures? “I think it will be better if I go looking for it.”

“Do you want us to join you, Uncle Dipper?” Isabella asked excitedly, even had already got off the swings.

“I would rather not,” Dipper kindly said, he knew how disastrous the young monsters used to be in the woods, “If any of you see Bill tell him I've been looking for him.”

“Understood and scored.” Carlos said his uncle.

One of the advantages of being the most important person in Oregon, and having been shot in the woods during the hunting season, was that most of the creatures that lived in the woods usually stayed by his side. Now there were none of them that seemed to be in plain sight. It wasn't hunting season around the forest so that no creature would decide not to appear before him.

Dipper began to scratch his arm when he felt a slight itch.

“Ouch!” Someone had pulled his antlers, turning around realized that it was one of the pixies – At least he had found someone, “Hey – Ouch! What the hell is wrong with you?”

The pixies had begun to try to pull him off his antlers, causing him to step back to avoid them.

“Is it by the time I steal pixie dust? I thought we talked about this already.” Almost two years had passed, why are the semi-immortal creatures the most spiteful?

Dipper began to move away from the pixies, perhaps he had broken into some matter of the little flying creatures, however when he moved away another hive began to annoy him. Trying to get away from the pixies, more of them were on his way.

“If it is for something that Bill did – ” Dipper tried to reason with them.

Dipper finally ended up almost crashing into a tree, stopping just in time and turning around to see the pixies and try to talk to them again. The flying creatures seemed to go straight to him but before they even approached him these dispersed in several directions until Dipper was alone again.

His heart was too agitated to flee from the pixies. Rubbing his head Dipper saw a few hair fall. “It seems that they apply eye for an eye. But if this really was Bill's idea – ”

Dipper stopped at see that he was in a clearing, the trees surrounded the small green field with hundreds of colorful flowers around a small pond that was the flowing water he had heard, surely was connected to the waterfall near the cave. Dipper came to refresh himself, taking some water in his hands. Dipper dropped it on his face, the heat of Summer and the flight had made him sweat. “It's a nice place.” Dipper said loudly, turning again to see the forest clearing.

“Right, don't you think so?”

Dipper opened his eyes and looked up at the trees, with the most ambitious smile and dress in all his dark elegance, Bill Cipher, the demon he had been searching for all day, was there.

“Pine Tree – !”

“Don't you Pine Tree to me.” Dipper approached the tree, his visibly annoying face, “What happened with you? You weren't when I woke up, I thought your meeting with the Council would last only one night – ”

“Aw, did you miss me?” Bill's amber eyes shone like gold.

“N-no! Don't try to change the topic of discussion, Bill Cipher!” That's right, he had called him by his full name, in a state of complete anger.

“Little Tree, don't be so upset, that pretty face of yours will fill with wrinkles – ”

“At least you could have told me something.” Dipper folded his arms, “Wait – ” How did Bill find him? “How – ? You were always by my side all this time, weren't you?” Damn it! He must have looked like a fool all day.

“Do you think I'd stop caring for you sometime?” Bill put a hand to his chest, offended.

“Rather said stalking me.” Dipper narrowed his eyes, the moment Bill got down from that tree –

“You're my favorite monster, the one I love most in this world, I'd obviously never stop keeping an eye on you, literally.” Bill even made the mere movement of almost pulling his eye out with his gloved fingers.

“Bill, please, I know you're capable of that and more.” It wouldn't be the first time Bill tried to explain his humor with his own body... It wasn't something he would want to see again, at least not when he was angry and the demon would only make him worry. “Better go down once of that tree than I need you to tell me – ”

Bill rolled his eyes, smiling tenderly at Pine Tree's annoying face, he truly loved every expression of Pine Tree, every inch of the cervitaur was his and every inch of him was Dipper's, and that would be enough for him.

The cervitaur stepped back as Bill jumped from the tree.

“Do you want an explanation?” Bill asked, quite amused at Dipper's inquisitive look, “Fine, then listen to me. We have been dating for almost two years – ”

“Year and a half.”

“I've known you since you and your sister moved here years ago – ”

“Which I swear is not creepy at all.” Dipper said with some sarcasm, trying not to laugh, for a long time knew that Bill had laid eyes on him for some time.

“And both we have become accustomed to the presence of the other – ”

“I can't say it was easy, but was fun. In a strange way.”

“So as time passed, I decided that I didn't want this to end,” Bill pulled out a small box of black velvet, leaning in front of the monster, “And I hope you don't want this to end either.”

Dipper's eyes widened in astonishment as the little box was presented to him, not yet open but Dipper was already shaking, “Bill... Don't tell me that you... Do you even - ?”

“Possibly I was very hurried to do this, but after thinking so much I didn't want to reverse what I had planned to do.”

Bill opened the box, revealing its contents. A silver ring lay within it, with a blue triangle-shaped gem glittering like stars at the touch of natural light that illuminated the clearing, Dipper feared that simply touching it with his mundane hands the gem would break.

“So following the natural courtship, the last step is this,” Bill spread to him the velvet box with the engagement ring inside,r, “Dipper Pines, do you want to spend the rest of our lives as one?”

Dipper didn't know whether to laugh or cry, maybe he would do both, but now he had to do something, and that was clear. “Yes. I do. Of course I do. With a condition.” Dipper said, sitting on the floor to be at Bill' height, the demon rolled his eyes at Dipper's aggregation, “You won't disappear again this way without first telling me, Bill Cipher, I was like a madman in the town.”

“I wouldn't have to do it anymore.” Bill winked at him.

Carefully removing the engagement ring and taking Dipper's right hand Bill slipped the ring on the young monster's ring finger. When the ring was finally at the end of the finger the blue gem shone with more intensity, as if it really was a star... Maybe it was a star Bill had captured, his dumb boyfriend loved giving him the most luxurious gifts.

“You know something,” Dipper spoke standing up being helped by Bill, “I always believed that if you would propose marriage, this gem would be a deer tooth.”

“That will be for our wedding rings if you prefer – ”

“No, forget it, I never said anything.”

“I'll forget that part, but not the fact that you thought I'd propose to you someday.”

Dipper frowned, “I believed.”

“It's the same.” Bill smiled sincerely. “Do you know what is best?” Bill floated beside him to return to Gravity Falls, Dipper arched a curious eyebrow, “I will tell everyone in your family.”
