A/N: Inspired by the wonderful artist Markmak. The dialogue is his, I edited it a bit though. (Don't kill me!) Also, please please please- if you have any ideas for another alternate dimension, review or pm! Disclaimer: I don't own Gravity Falls
It had been a long time since Stanford Pines had found his perpetual motion machine broken. He'd fixed it before the judges came and been excepted into West Coast Tech a few hours afterwards.
Several years later he'd graduated with the highest score ever recorded.
Yes, Stanford Pines was destined for great things. His name was on the lips on every famous scientist and aspiring student.
Several famous scientists asked him to join them, but to their eternal chagrin he declined and instead started his (now very successful) company and formed his own research team.
Stanford Pines was world famous and you could say one of the highlights of his life was winning the Nobel prize...
"Thank you, thank you everyone!"
The sound of clapping quickly died down as Stanford Pines thought back thirty years and grinned.
"As I accept this award, I do so on behalf of the whole of humanity who believe in science, who believe in a better future, and most of all the one who believed in me...
My twin brother,
Stanley Pines."
His gaze fell upon a grey haired twin, almost the exact same as Stanford on the stage, but minus the glasses. Stanley was dressed in a ratty black suit with patches on the elbows, he was grinning as only a proud brother could do.
"This man has given me nothing but support throughout my entire life. He dropped out of school so that he could work and pay my student loans off and then he invested all his money in my company. He helped me through thick and thin.
I wouldn't be standing here today without his help.
He's truly my hero and my best friend."
The audience applauded and Stanford stepped down from the podium. Afterwards, his brother came forward with a grin on his face, "Hey poindexter, you really deserve it!"
Amidst the questions reporters and flashing of cameras, Stanley flung an arm around his brothers shoulders and took a photo of the two. Still grinning he began to speak to one of the reporters.
"This guy, he's the next Edison!
Or Einstein!
Or any smart person in history!"
Back in the present dimension, Stanford Pines took off the inter-dimensional goggles that let him see himself in alternate dimensions.
He groaned and rubbed his eyes.
"I'm a horrible person."
