Disclaimer: I don't own Gravity Falls.

But I am a massive fan of flannel shirts...

Hello Chaps. This is my first Gravity Falls FanFic. Now, normally I write an entire story in Word and finish it before I upload. But this time I thought I'd do something different. I'll write the prolouge and the first two chapters. After that, I'll take suggestions of where you chaps think it's going. So the finished product will be a mystery - even to me. And, as my username suggests: I do love a good mystery.

Feel free to comment all you want!

Much Love

Sub.: Awkward emotional twin-support?

Hi Dipper,

I guess you already had a gut feeling about this but I gotta write it down anyway. I caught Marcus red handed today. I broke up with him, packed my bags and drove home to mom and dad on my old bike. I have two more weeks of teaching before the holiday. I don't really know where to go from here. I love my job but I don't love Piedmont. It's not my home. Are you gonna be busy or can I stay with you for approx. two weeks?

Oh Mabel,

I'm so sorry about this. What a jerk! Wendy already packed the truck to go get you. She even packed Grunkle Stan's old brass knuckles. Said something about giving him similar treatment to what she ended up giving Robbie when they ended it for the umpteenth time? Is there something I should be safer not knowing?

Anyways, sure you can stay here. Soos and Melody are up for it. Grunkle Ford is looking forward to seeing you. If you wanna stay clear of Wendy's use of brass knuckles, I could pick you up on my way home? I'm in Nebraska for research, but I'll be heading back home in a couple of days. Just have mom have a spare bed for me until you are ready to hit the road. I can work from the living room. I have my laptop and my notes. And video chats have been invented ;-)

Love and sincere sibling hug

Grunkle Stan's brass knuckles? Really, Wendy?! You actually did it? I was JOKING! OMG, Robbie must hate me for getting that idea into your head!

On another topic: thanks bro-bro. I'd appreciate you picking me up. If it doesn't interfere with your work. I miss everyone. Well, with a few obvious exceptions (I still get those nightmares!)

Thanks guys

Mabel

Sub.: What Rob doesn't know…

Yo Mabel,

Robbie can't hate you. He doesn't know that we had that talk. But why did ya tell Dip, eh? Nah, never mind…

Anyways – we all look forward to seeing ya. Danny Stan's been asking why his aunt May-May doesn't live in GF like the rest of the family. He doesn't understand how a Pines can live somewhere where there are fewer pine trees and less lumberjacks. He wants a new sweater for his birthday, btw. The old one got….eh…used. A lot!

See ya!

Wendy
