Soos's and Melody's Wedding

CH-1: The Question

A lot has happened in the past 2 years sense the younger Pines Twins helped take back and leave Gravity Falls. The Elder Pines Twins Stan & Ford have sailed to many places of mystery around the world (witch seem to be appearing more and more frequently but that's a story for another time), the younger twins were now attending High School with Dipper being pushed up a Grade (Mable in grade 10 and Dipper in grade 11) and now where this story begins, With Soos the new MR. Mystery trying to find a way to ask his girlfriend a very important question.

Soos was at Greasy's Diner with Melody, he helped her to her seat and took his own.
'Ok Soos its time to take the Big step' he thought to himself and seeing Melody just in front of him
'so you enjoying Dinner?'
Melody looked at him with smile 'um sweetie, we haven't ordered yet'
Soos looked in front of him and saw the empty table 'oh, um, yea, Just um, tasting I mean teasing I mean…'
before Soos could correct himself, someone was now talking to him 'May I take your order Mr. Mystery?'
Soos looked up and Saw Pacifica in her waitress uniform 'oh, yea I'm yea and would like um' then he cleared his thought 'we would like your finest chilly fries for starter and I would like that steak with Vegies, dude'
Pacifica jotted it down and looked at Melody 'and for you Ms.?'
Melody 'I'll have the Chicken corn-don-blu with creamed corn' with that Pacifica went to send in the orders.
Soos a little nervous decided he need a breath 'Um can I be excused?'
Melody looked at him in confusion 'yes, but you don't have to ask me honey' and Soos went to the washroom.
Pacifica came with the fries and saw Soos wasn't there 'is everything alright?'
Melody sighed 'I don't know' and she rubbed the side of her head in anguish 'we have been dating for almost 2 years now, I just wonder is this, our relationship going anywhere?'
Pacifica wasn't sure on how to address this, or even if it was her place to do so, but she decided give melody her two cents 'like look, he is obviously in love with you, a blind person could tell from a mile away'
Melody looks up at her 'how long is he going to take, how long does he expect me to wait?' and with that statement she lied her head down in disappointment.
Pacifica then looked around and saw there was nobody else around apart from lazy Susan so she sat down and started a girl to girl talk with her 'Look Melody, you are like so lucky to have a man like Soos, He is someone who not only listens to what you have to say, but goes out of his way to make you as happy possible and he probably wants it to be perfect'
'I know, it's just hard to wait so long' Melody said in a solemn yet happy manner
Pacifica went to get the Chilly fries and handed them to Melody 'anyway one thing I have learned is when a guy is willing take his time and doesn't rush things, they have more in mind than just making woopie'
Melody raised an eyebrow 'you talk as if from firsthand experience'
Pacifica laughed a little 'oh let's say I had boyfriends who wanted to go to third base before first base'
'Did you go that far with them' Melody asked
Pacifica scoffed 'no and I don't plan to until I meet the Man that respects me for more than just that, and being a good father will also help, as for you if you want to hear the question faster, make him feel under the impression that the whole situation is perfect'
Meanwhile Soos was in the washroom looking at the mirror 'common dude pull yourself together'
he pulls out a black velvet box from his pocket 'look its simple, take her on several dates, be her best friend ever, pop the Question'
he looks at app on his phone "101 ways to pop the question" which featured methods ranging from elaborate fireworks displays, to hiking way out in the boonies and having her say yes due to fatigue. Soos knew he wasn't the Brightest Knife in the Tool Garden, but he definitely knew none of these were any good for Melody. She was better these gimmicks (would probably work on Giffany though, he quickly thought to himself) but he needed to do something more sincere he needed advice on this, he needs to call someone with experience, someone he looks up to and trusts, someone like…

Stanley was sleeping in his hammock on the Stan-o-war while Ford was next to him on a chair writing in his new journal it was turquoise instead of red and still had the fords hand on it but silver instead of gold with the number four on it, 'at last, now that I have all the info on the screaming squid down' he looked his right the side and saw the Jar with the squid in it, he wasn't sure if it was a good idea to bring their findings back to the shack, it might bring some unwanted attention to the mystery shack. Then Stanley's distinct ringtone (If I had a Million Dollars) which in turn awoke the Squid which started to scream and break the glass jar it was in waking up Stanley 'ok brother what happened?' but Stanley looked and saw there was broken glass and ink everywhere and he saw Ford trying to shove the Squid into a new Plastic Jar.
Ford who was a little flustered 'It was this infernal thing' and after he got the squid in the new container he handed him the phone but then Ford sat down 'its fine, just attend to this while I clean this mess'. Stan was now on the deck of the ship and now answered the phone 'Pines Brothers here, we'll find it even if it doesn't exist'.
'Hey Mr. Pines its Soos'
Stan's eyes opened wide 'hey Soos, how is Mr. Mystery?'.
'Well I called you because, you know Melody?'
Stanley scratched one of his eyebrows 'yea she's your girlfriend right?' 'That's right dude, and I'm about to… pop her the question'.
It took Stanley a few seconds to realize what he meant 'wait so she is going to be MRS. Mystery?'
'That's the dude, but I need a father's advice'
Stan was confused now 'um Soos what was that, I thought you were asking me for a father's advice'.
Soos then replied 'I did'
Stanley then asked 'I'm flattered but why me of all people, I'm probably one of the worst people to get that advice from. Heck McGuget would be a better person to ask, he at least has a racoon wife for whatever that's worth'
Soos took a deep breath 'well Mr. Pines you want the truth, it's because you are the closest thing ever had to a Father'.
Stanley was taken back by this would be an understatement but Soos continued 'all my life my dad, real dad never showed up to any event of my life, never taught me anything about life, finding a girl, or just working and Making a man of myself, But you Mr. Pines taught me how to do all that, you did have a strange way of doing so but you did and as I said before you are the only person that I consider a father to me'
Stanley didn't know what to say, he was never married but he did have a father like love for Soos, he tried to think back to what advice his old man gave him, other than GET OUT!, so he knew he needed to think of something on his own.
'Ok Soos you want my advice? Here you go' Soos was now listing very carefully.
'I guess I only got three points to get across, first is don't do anything gimmicky both in your wedding and your marriage life in general, they will get you and your family nothing of any real value, Second always be Invested in what your family has to say, your family will have a great deal of respect for you if you do, and Finally Protect your family and not just from physical threats like monsters and such, but also subtle threats like bad influences and those who seek to tear your marriage and family apart. And with that that's all I have to say, other well than continue what you're doing already and go get her because it's now or never'
upon hearing those words, Soos felt a little more easy about his situation 'Thanks Mr. Pines, I mean Dad?'
Stanley was now more shocked than before but then smiled 'Dad, or Father will do'
it was Soos's turn to be shock, so shocked that astray tear escaped his eye 'ok Dad… goodbye'
Stanford came up and saw Stanley looking at the moonlit ocean 'so what was call all about?'
Stanley looked at his brother 'Ford take a seat, because I have story to tell you'

Once Soos was done talking to Mr. Pines he felt a renewal of his confidence, the like of which he had never felt in his life 'ok, Soos dude it is now or never, as Mr.… Father puts it' wow Soos could get use to this.
Soos went out to the restaurant. Once he saw Melody still sitting there and the Chilly fries untouched and cold, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty but she looked at him and smiled so he sat down. As they were eating their food they both were thinking heavily, Soos was rehearsing in his head on how to ask the question while Melody took Pacifica's words to heart and decided to be more grateful and try to make the situation, meal and other things in their lives seam perfect.
After their meal they both decided to head on back to the shack and seeing the lighting was relatively good and there wasn't anybody else with in eye sight, Soos decided this was the time 'Melody?
Melody turned around 'what is it?'
Soos looked at 'Melody I'm sorry'
'for what?' she asked
Soos sighed, sounding very guilty 'for making wait for so long too long' and he got down on one knee
melody knew what was coming and she had a few things to get off her chest 'and I'm sorry to, for not being patient and wanting to rush things and…'
Soos 'its fine dude, and mow' and he pulled out the black velvet box and opened it to reveal a ring 'will you marry me?'

The Pines Family were all around table having breakfast, Dipper was doing his homework while Mable was trying to convince MR. & MRS Pines (Mom and Dad) to come to Gravity Falls this year, they say they would love to but they were always too busy.
Mable sighed and went to get the mail seeing the conversation wasn't going anywhere, once she grabbed the mail she went to the counter and started to look through it 'bill, flier, bill, bill, false charity drive, bill, but then she saw a letter from Gravity Falls, so she opened it and her eyes did that biggering thing they do when she see something she likes.
When Dipper heard a squeal he knew it could only come from Mable, so looking up he could see Mable at the counter holding an envelope and screaming 'it's happened, its happened, its happened!' with overwhelming joy. 'What Happened Mable?' MR. Pines asked and Mable walked over to him and MRS. Pines and showed them letter.
In the letter there were 4 inventions and MRS. Pines read one of them out loud 'you are invited to the MelSoos Wedding, June 22nd 2014 at the old Sapwood Chapple in Gravity Falls Oregon' MRS. Pines questioned 'um who is MelSoos?'
Mable looked at her invitation 'oh it looks like they ran out of room on the invitations so they combined both of their names, kinda cute if you think about it, oh its Soos and Melody's wedding' and she looked at her invitation and something on it and she squealed again and this time it hurt dipper's hears a little.
Dipper rubbing his ears 'ok now what?' he asked.
Mable showed Dipper her invitation "I'm going to be a Bride's maid 'and Mable's eyes did that big pupil thing even more witch dipper thought was impassable.
Now Dipper was looking at these invitations 'wow, congrats Soos' Dipper and Mable looked at their Parents 'well you got to come this time, please' and their parent looked at each other and smiled 'how about this, we come and spend the month of June there, seeing that Mable is a brides maid she probably has some wedding plans to attend to, that way we attend the wedding and have a little vacation as well, then we'll leave for work in July and you two can stay for the rest of the summer and take the bus back here like last time'
Dipper and Mabel smiled then together said 'perfect'
Dipper and Mable were in separate rooms now that they were well into their teens but they were still well boned and there had nook that was sandwiched between their rooms so it made it feel like a shared room.
'Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh' Mable was hopping up and down
Dipper was on the phone 'you been saying that for that past 20 minutes, want to take it down a notch or ten'
Mable eyebrows twisted a little 'this is Soos's Wedding you can't tell me you're not a little excited'
Dipper then retorted 'a little yes, excessively? NO'
Mable thought of a few people that Dipper would be excessively excited to see but she decided to keep it down, for now.
