Sup guys! FireFlamerx9z here! So if you remember from a few weeks ago, I revealed my newest project, Adoption Drama, a multi-story series that I would be starting sometime over the summer. The reason I was waiting was because I have summer camp and they don't let you bring a computer with you, nor do they have internet connection. But then I remembered my first story was going be Gwen in Gravity Falls(You should have figured that out if you are reading this). And I remembered that Gravity Falls was notorious for its cliffhangers and long breaks between new episodes. The idea was too good not to pass up. Also, spoilers for Gravity Falls! Watch that first if you don't want this to be ruined for you! Enough rambling! Let's get started!
Stanley Pines let out a long sigh. It had been about thirteen years since he had taken over for his brother and he was forced to admit.
It was a very lonely life.
"How did poindexter live like this?" He said as he nailed a sign to a tree near the side of the road. While Stan did have some contact with the townspeople, unlike his brother, it was mostly for shopping in the town or conning them at his Mystery Shack. Stan sighed again. He continued to nail the signs to the trees, until he heard what sounded like whimpering.
"Ignore it!" Stan's mind told him, but Stan kept moving towards the noise. Finally, he found the source.
It was a little girl, around three at most, sitting on a log. She had very pale skin, which concerned Stan a little. Her hair was a light brown and she had black eyes. She was dressed in a little black shirt and black pants. She had no shoes and was shivering. Stan shivered, it was supposed to snow that night. He didn't even know this girl, but he kept walking towards her. Finally, the little girl looked up and she stared at Stan, who stared back, neither knowing what to say.
"Where's your family, kiddo?" Stan asked after a while.
"I don't have one," The little girl said. Stan felt his heart skip a beat. He had been where this girl was and she was not about to let her freeze on the streets.
"Would you like me to your family?" Stan asked as he kneeled down. The girl hopped off the log and wrapped her arms around Stan.
"Yes! But can you get me out of the cold? I'm chilly!" The girl replied before shivering again. Stan smiled. He picked the little girl up and started to walk back to the shack. Then he remembered something.
"Do you have a name, kiddo?" Stan asked her.
"My name is Gwen!" Gwen said with pride.
"That's…...a nice name," Stan said to her, causing Gwen to smile. Even with the cold, Stan found himself suddenly very warm inside.
"Whoa!" Gwen marveled. After Stan had returned to the shack, Gwen had began to explore her new home. In particular, the many oddies Stan had set up were a big source of enjoyment for her, although she couldn't read the signs. Stan did read them for her if she asked.
"I see you like my Mystery Shack," Stan chuckled to himself as Gwen continued to look around. However, she stopped when she saw an exhibit that didn't have a stand in front of it.
"What's this one?" Gwen asked. Stan looked at the exhibit, it was a unicorn he had made out of corn, but never named.
"Why don't you name it?" Stan offered. Gwen smiled, hugged Stan's leg, and looked back at the unicorn.
"How about…..the corn-a-corn!" Gwen announced.
"It's perfect!" Stan said, completely sincerely. He kneeled down and ruffled Gwen's hair. As Stan made a sign advertising the corn-a-corn, Gwen continued to explore. After finding the gift shop, she made her way into Stan's house part of the shack. As she looked around, she saw a bookcase that was slightly out of place. With a lot of difficulty, Gwen managed to move it, only to find a door behind it. Gwen looked up and grabbed the door handle and opened up the door. It looked like a bedroom had been there at some point. Stan had come looking for her and saw the room.
"Can this be my room?" Gwen asked, giving Stan a smile and look he could not refuse.
"...Okay," Stan said as Gwen started cheering. "Here, why don't I get a few things out of the way for you?" He started to roll up the rug, but stopped to look up at Gwen.
"I didn't really want that anyways, it looks yucky," Gwen said. Stan grinned as he finished rolling the up and quickly pocketed a pair of glasses off one of the couches, before living Gwen to herself. "I'll come clean this in a bit, okay sweetie?" He called back to her.
"Okay, daddy!" Gwen said.
"Daddy….those are words I never thought I'd hear," Stan said to himself as he felt himself getting that warm feeling again.
"You are going to be quite the little handful, aren't you?" Stan asked as he settled Gwen into her new bed. After putting the rug away and cleaning the room, Stan had taken Gwen into town and let her pick out a bed, sheets, clothes, pajamas, and some other decorations for her room. What surprised Stan was Gwen wanting art supplies. He was even more surprised when she presented him with a picture of an eye-clops, basically an eyeball with hands, feet and another eyeball on it. Stan wanted to put it in the Mystery Shack as soon as possible. But first, he had to clean Gwen off, she had gotten paint all over herself.
"I'm happy daddy liked my new picture!" Gwen replied, not really getting want Stan had said.
"Good night sweetie," Stan said as he headed towards the door.
"Good night daddy," Gwen said as she fell asleep. As Stan moved to shut the lights off, he noticed a picture hanging on the wall. Stan walked over to it and felt himself getting teary eyed. It was a crayon drawing of him and Gwen holding hands and smiling. As Stan walked to his own room, he realized something. After what happened to Ford, Stan thought he would have no family, no one to fall back on. But now, with Gwen, it was the opposite.
He was not alone, and he never would be again.
And that starts the first story! Sorry, if Gwen seems a little OOC, keep in mind, she is a toddler, not a teenager yet. But let me know what you think! Also if anyone wants to make art, feel free, but let me know. I could really use a cover for this. FireFlamerx9z, out!
