*Disclaimer: I do not own Gravity Falls

"Hey, hey kids. Wake up."

Dipper started to open his eyes and look around groggily feeling a firm hand shaking his shoulder. "What's going on?"

"Time to get off kid" The bus driver said. "Your ticket only took you as far as piedmont. Wake your sister up and get off. It's a miracle that she slept through all my shouting. Oh and not a word about that pig, you hear. I could loose my job."

"Sorry sir. Yes sir. Right away." Dipper stammered "Hey Mabel wake up." He said, putting away his cross word puzzle book and poked her in the face a few times.

"No Dipper 5 more minutes." Mabel grumbled and snuggling closer to him.

"Waddles go." Listening to the command Waddles threw himself onto Mabel wiggling around and licking her.

"Waddles get off of me. Haha. Hey stop it… ok, ok. I'm up I'm up." Finally pushing waddles off of her the three former gravity falls residents stepped off the bus waddles immediately started sniffing around then jumped into a near by fountain. He had gone stir crazy being stuck in that bus for so long.

"Hey Mabel go ahead and tell mom and dad we're home," Dipper said "but don't mention any of the crazy stuff from this summer. Especially the part about great uncle Ford's disappearance and Gruncle Stan's impersonation of him."

"But why?" Mabel asked. "I understand we don't want to freak mom and dad out, Not that they would even believe us if we told them, But wouldn't dad and mom be happy to hear that they are getting along again?"

"As far as our parents know Stanley is dead," Replied Dipper. "What would they say when they hear that we have been living with an x-conman pretending to be his twin brother and been breaking laws left and right all summer?"

"Yeah I guess you're right," Mabel sighed.

"Plus with Gruncle Stan and great uncle Ford being out on their adventure, who knows if we will get to go back next summer if they haven't returned. In fact we have to assume they aren't going to be back in time for next summer because they gave the shack to Soos. If we want to go back we have to make our parents think that Gruncle Stan is still there.

"How are we going to do that?" Mabel asked.

"Just leave that to me," Replied Dipper. "I'll think of something and besides we have all year to think it up. Oh yeah Mabel you haven't seen this yet."

"What is it?" Mabel asked taking the paper with a whomp. "Oh my goodness that's so sweet. Look everyone signed it."

"Yup," Dipper said. "Even Pacifica signed it. I guess that means we have to do what is says and go back next summer."

"The queen has spoken," Mabel announced causing waddles to squeal and circle them. "Ok, I'm calling them now."

. . .

"Dipper, Mabel get over here and give your parents a hug," Their mother called. Mrs. Pines wore a blue button up with sunglasses on her head. She had blond hair and wore it in a large braid. She also wore blue jeans with the legs rolled up mid calf with black slides. Mr. Pines wore a yellow sweater-vest with a white button up underneath. He has a mustache and a strong chin like Gruncle Stan. He also had slacks on with brown slide on leather shoes. Dipper and Mabel ran up to their parents and gave them a big group hug.

"It's been too long," Mr. Pines said. Suddenly waddles popped his head out through the middle of all of them. Both parents jumped back in alarm. Mabel caught waddles in her arms before he could fall.

"Mom, Dad this is waddles," Mabel started. "I wrote about him in my letters. I won him at a festival this summer. Gruncle Stan talked the driver into letting us take him along even though he isn't aloud to."

"Let her keep the pig or she will never be the same, trust me." Dipper added before her parents could react.

"Well ok. As long as he gets along with our cats I'm fine with it." Mrs. Pines shrugged.

"You have to take care of it though," Mr. Pines chimed in. "You hear me Mabel?"

"Yay, hear that Waddles your coming to live with us." Mabel spun around holding the pig and waddles squealing with delight seeming to understand what's going on.

"Now tell us about your trip on the way home." Mr. Pines signaled. "Wait you only have 2 suitcases? I would think you would at least have 4 to yourself Mabel. Where are all your sweaters?"

"Well um… you see" Mabel hesitated looking for an excuse besides making a parachute in order to defeat a demon bent on sending the world into ciaos or manotaurs accidentally ripping them by flexing.

"She gave most of them away to people we met as going away presents." Dipper said coming to her rescue.

"They were a big hit everyone loved them." Mabel continued seeing were Dipper was going. "I knew I could always make more."

"Aw honey that's so sweet." Her Mom said giving her another hug.

"Great does this mean I have to buy more yarn?" Mr. Pines said jokingly with a smirk.

"Of course," Mabel replied rolling her eyes. "Come on lets head home."

. . .

That night Dipper sat awake looking at the new journal he had gotten from Mabel from some sort of multidimensional adventure. Mabel stirred in her sleep from the annoying and constant clicking Dipper was making with his pen.

"Dipper again really?" Mabel complained "I told you to stop that if you are going to be up all night you have to stop clicking that pen."

"Sorry Mabel." Dipper apologized. "It's just that if I'm not clicking my pen I'm biting it and I've lost enough pens like that. How many was it again? You counted right?"

"I think it was 52." Mabel replied. "Then why don't you just try and get some sleep?"

"Because Mabel." Dipper said a little distressed. "We may have out smarted Bill but it was just barely and almost at the cost of Gruncle Stan's mind. I can't let something like that happen again. Plus I've been thinking. If Gruncle Stan's memory came back it could mean that bill is still in there somewhere and it's just a matter of time until he strikes again. I need to get smarter. The books were destroyed. What can I do but sit here and try and recreate all the knowledge I have from this summer in this book and do more research on my own."

"Wow, you really think he could come back?" Mabel asked nervously.

"I don't know." Dipper replied. "It's just a theory but it does seem possible. Heck we don't even know if Bill is the worst thing out there."

"Well listen we have beaten Bill once and we will do it again." Mabel said in an effort to cheer Dipper up. "I mean we are the mystery twins after all. We can overcome anything even school which happens to be tomorrow. Come on we can worry about this tomorrow for now lets get some sleep."

"You're right." Dipper admitted "Race you to sleep." Dipper said quickly jumping under the covers to getting a head start.

"You're on." Mabel said following her brother's lead.
