Hello everybody! It is us, Georgia and Charlotte back from our first year of university! Seeing how we have eight more weeks to kill and love Gravity Falls with a burning passion as well as Soos/Melody, we figured why not combine them? Also because as far as my research goes, the internet is pretty lacking in Soos/Melody fics. I've found like, two? So here's a proper Soos/Melody fic for all you shippers out there! Peace Out! TG101 :-D x
Melody sighed, looking out of the window as the bus pulled away from Gravity Falls. She had barely been on the bus ten minutes and was already missing Soos. His adorable awkwardness, his spot on beaver impression; even his snoring which was pitch for pitch the same as a chainsaw. Due to time and money constraints, the next time they could even consider seeing each other wouldn't be for another two months and even then, it would only be the weekend.
Shuffling down in her seat, she put in her earphones and pressed play on her phone.
Soos waved goodbye as the bus pulled out of the depot. Now was the time to put his plan into action. According to the internet, it would take somewhere around the four hour mark to get to Portland, not including bathroom breaks. So he enlisted the help of the gnomes to help stop the bus, thus rendering it helpess for at least an hour if not more; plenty of time which to get to Portland!
He too missed Melody; he missed the scent of her watta-lotta-melon shampoo, the fact she often twitched in her sleep and even her adorable little mumblings.
"Okay dudes, it's safe now," he said to no one in particular. A rustling came from the trees as the gnomes dropped down from them, all of them landing swiftly on their feet except from Schmebulock.
The gnome got up, shook his head and raced to join the others where Soos was instructing them on their mission "...Portland so I can propose to Melody and this is where you guys come in."
Jeff nodded, clearly interested. "All right then, big guy. But I have one question."
Soos knew what to expect and pulled out four hessian bags from his rucksack, all of which were glowing. "Jeff likes, Jeff likes. You've got a deal."
As the gnomes raced after the bus, Soos got into his pick up truck and smiled. He knew there was no one else on earth he'd rather spend his life with. Her whole family loved him! Except maybe for Ya Ya who in her words described him as a "bad gopher, go back to woodpile".
Melody was looking out of the window and was on the verge of nodding off when a loud 'BANG!' made her sit up, suddenly awake. "What the-"
Next thing she knew, the bus was careering out of control and everyone but her was screaming in fear and panic.
"We're gonna die!"
"I don't want to end this way!"
"Honey, don't go into the light!"
Grabbing onto the nearest handrail, the bus skidded to a halt in the middle of the road the bus driver getting off to inspect the damage that was inflicted. "I don't know how this could've happened," he muttered, scratching at his balding head "I swore she ran fine at her last test five years ago."
Melody rolled her eyes. Great, now they were stuck. Mumbling to herself, she got out her phone and texted her mother a quick message.
Hey Ma, bus in trouble, no one hurt but gonna be late. M x
"Okay everyone, off the bus!" the driver declared, climbing back on board. "Nothing to be worried about! Seems we've ran over some glass! I called the company and there should be a replacement in the next two hours."
Out of sight of the bus and people, the gnomes were high fiving each other on a job well done."Excellent work you guys!" Jeff announced as he kicked the pocket knife into the bushes.
"Now come on! Back to Gravity Falls!"
"Hey lady, wake up!"
Melody swatted the hand away as she awoke, realising it belonged to a young boy who looked like he was barely ten years old. "Hmm?" she mumbled, wiping away the drool which had made its way down her cheek.
"We're at Portland," he explained bluntly hitching up his backpack. "Mom saw you get on and she knew you were OBVIOUSLY headin' to Portland 'cause this was the only bus headin' this way and she didn't want you to sleep till the driver kicked you off."
"Oh, thanks kid," she mumbled, cursing silently at her headphones which had decided to tangle themselves whilst she was asleep. "Why does this always happen to me?" she groaned, stuffing them in her bag as she gave a stretch, feeling all her bones click. Glancing out the window she gave a nostalgic sigh. No matter how much she claimed Portland to be a dump and couldn't wait to move out for good, she was always drawn in to the weird charm that it had to offer. It was home after all and it's pretty much all she ever knew having moved there from Massachusetts when she was five.
As she grabbed her bag and headed off the bus, she half expected to see her family waiting for her; Ya-Ya, her elder brother Michael, her younger sister Nelly, her mom and dad and Soos. Wait, Soos?
Blinking to made sure she saw right she gasped as she saw right. It was Soos. With a sign which read "Mrs Ramirez (Please?)".
Holy crap, he was proposing. Soos was actually smiling from ear to ear, she ran up and jumped onto him, almost knocking him over.
"Holy...Soos! How did you get here?" she asked, babbling her words. "I mean, why? How?...How?" she stopped mid sentence as he put a finger to her lips and put her down before kneeling on one knee.
"Okay...so um...you know I love you so much dude, like my heart bar is overflowing and um...I wanna spend the rest of my life together y'know so I guess what I'm asking is..."
Melody nodded and burst into laughter, tears forming in her eyes "Yes yes yes!" she repeated and hugged him tight, giving him a shaky kiss."Of course I'll marry you."
There were cheers and claps of congratulations as Soos put the ring on her finger. Examining it, she began to sniffle. It was a beautiful silver band with a diamond in the centre with tiny diamonds and light blue gems studded around it. As Soos stood up, she kissed him again
"I love you so much, Soos," she whispered, sighing as she was enveloped in a hug.
"Me too, dude. Me too."
