CH-2: Stories
It was a very long car trip to Gravity Falls from Piedmont, the Pines Family Decided to stop at a restaurant on the way there and Mable being Mable decided to be a little flirtatious with the waiter.
Dipper then had to ask 'Mable are you still in you boy crazy phase?'
Mable replied with an unhesitant 'Yes, Definitely, Absolutely!' Dipper could only face palm to that.
'Well you can't say she is dishonest' Mr. Pines said in a joking manner 'and is that from the love letter I wrote your mother?'
Mable now sheepishly smiling 'maybe'
'Love letter?' Dipper asked inquisitively
Mr. Pines blushed a little 'oh yea, I wrote a letter to your mother after our first date…'
'And the send, third and fourth' Mrs. Pines added as she sat down 'but the Yes, Definitely, and Absolutely thing didn't come until a little later…'
Flashback to about 1998
*** Pines was nervously passing back and forth nervously reading a letter that he wrote and his Uncle Stan couldn't help but notice his dilemma 'all right slick, what's got you in a pinch and don't tell me you're not, I can tell'
*** Pines just sat down next to his uncle 'well I've been dating **** for at least a year now, and I'm wanting to ask for her hand in marriage'
Stan rubbed his chin 'what do her parents think of you?'
'Can't tell, her mother died at birth and according to her, her father was a no account hippie that she cut all ties to'
'where is she now?' Stan asked firmly
'just in the wax museum part of the shack' *** said
Stan then sees that *** has a letter in hand 'so what's in the letter' and he takes it
*** protested but it was too late 'let's see, *** you are as refusing as the due on spring grass' Stan said 'ok' then continued to read the letter 'I will always carry you in my hat for all tims' Stan looked at his nephew in confusion 'will you marry me?'
Stan took *** to his office 'ok I don't think anyone is going to marry someone with poetry skills like this'
'weren't you divorced recently' *** said sarcastically
Stan the retorted 'hey I had to be married in order to be divorced, so technically I have experience in this sort of thing' and he starts jotting things down on the letter 'ok um, and that, now top it off with… done! And he hands the letter to ***.
*** looks at it 'is this really going to work?'
Stan just slaps him on the back 'have I ever been wrong…don't answer that'
*** hands the letter to **** and she reads it '**** I've always loved you, even before we met I loved you and now I can't conceive of a life without you, will you Mary me? Yes, Definitely, Absolutely?' and looks at him and back at the letter and smiled then Kissed him 'all of the above' she said and *** gave her an engagement ring.
Back to 2014
Mable now a little giddy 'so Grunkle Stan wrote that letter'
Mrs. Pines looked at Mable as if to say duh 'I'm a detective, even back then I was a new recruit in the PMPD (Piedmont Police Department) and I could tell the difference between your fathers writing and his Uncle's flattery' and she takes a bite of her grilled chicken.
After Mr. Pines takes a bite out of his Philly Cheese Steak sandwich he asks 'why do you have such interest in that letter anyway?'
Mable and Dipper look at each other and Dipper Begins to explain Mable's boy crazy phase their first summer at Gravity Falls.
After another three and half hours of Driving Mable and Dipper can finally see Gravity Falls water tower and Mable was beyond ecstatic, she would point out all the land marks, locals, and everything in between.
Mr. Pines seeing his daughter's reaction to all this definitely had him intrigued 'wow Mable, you react to this like a kid going to Disney land'
Dipper Smiled 'yep, every time we come here now, she gets all excited'
Mable looked at her family 'and why not? See there is the mall, and that is where the wood stick festival happens, and there is Greasy's Diner where they make the best chilly fries ever, and just beyond those trees is the…'
as they turn the corner the see the mystery shack still with the S fallen over making it say mystery hack
Mrs. Looking at it said to herself 'unfortunate letter misplacement'
in front of the Shack they saw a welcoming party with a banner that said "Welcome Pines Family", the group consisted of Wendy, Soos with Melody in arm, McGucket though his beard has been cut and looks like he is wearing shoes but still acts the same, Robbie looking less goth/emo, he actually looks respectable now, with Tambry hand in hand, Grenda, Candy, Gideon now looks like his in great physical shape but still shorter than everyone in town apart from the gnomes, Pacifica in her work outfit with a light coat over top and beside her was the one that Mable was looking forward to seeing the most.
'Waddles!' and she ran up to the pig who was now much larger than she was and tried to pick him up Pacifica walked up to her 'he weighs almost 500LBS, I don't think even Grenda can lift him'
upon hearing this Grenda walks up to them 'that sound like a challenge' and she tries to lift Waddles but couldn't 'ok your right' so she hugged him instead
During the exchanges Stan and Ford showed up, and before anyone could blink Mable ran up to the both of them at what Dipper estimated to be Mach 5 and hugged them both till their faces were blue.
Eventually they were freed from her grasp and Stan was able to talk 'huff, huff, it's wonderful to see you to pumpkin, and look at you, you've gotten so tall, or I've been shrinking'
Mable, with her arms around both of her grunkles 'no you haven't been shrinking' she looked up to her Grunkle her forehead reaching his mouth.
Mable and Dipper are staying at the attic room like always but with a divider screen wall in between their beds (they are Fifteen, they need their privacy from each other)
After they were all moved then they decided to head to the living room where everyone else was waiting and talking and sharing stories and Dipper heard his mom finishing a story on the lamby lamby dance and everyone was having a good laugh at it.
'MOM REALY!? You're telling that story' Dipper said in a panic/disgust but before he could vent any more an unexpected voice of reason came in.
Robbie clearing his voice 'look Dipper it's all fine we all have experiences like the Lamb Lamby dance'
everyone especially Tambry and Wendy was now looking at Robbie with a notable shock in their eyes.
'Oh you want to hear my experience? Well then have a seat because it's a dusie'
Flashback about 10 years before Dipper and Mable came to Gravity Falls
Robbie was walking down the street with his Mom 'Why do we have to go to old people place mommy?' Robbie asked.
his Mom smiled and explained 'because Daddy is there helping two elders who passed in the night out of there'
Robbie looking a little confused 'but why are we going?'
'well there is a lot of people there and he can't take the bodies away with so many elderly eyes watching and the staff of the home couldn't make them leave the building for ten minutes because it was 17 degrees Fahrenheit (-8 c) and they have no coats'
Robbie really confused 'why do they have no coats?'
His mom almost laughed 'because it one of their policies, something to do with some Trembly fellow'.
The two of them make it to the home and Robbie was with his parents who was talking to a head staff member 'ok so it will go like this, you two' the head staff member pointed to Robbie and his mom 'will distract the members of the home in the main living space while we (Dad and Staff) get the bodies out'
Robbie was not too pleased with his current getup 'Mom why am I dressed like this' show his costume that looked like a teddy bear with a grim reaper cloak on and with a scythe in hand
'you look great, what a great Grin Reapbear you make' Mom said in a cueing manner
'but I thought we was supposed to distract them from death?' Robbie asked innocently
his Mom patted him on the shoulder 'oh no sweetie pie, we are distracting them from the bodies, but death we sort of reinforce in their minds a good thing, something to look forward to'
Robbie tilting his head 'oh' and he and his mom went to the room to do the not Grin Reapbear dance for the elderly folk.
Back to 2014
'so you distracted them as their buddies were hauled away?' Mable ask slightly shocked.
Robbie only shrugged 'yea, pretty much' and he put his arm around Tambry, but then he looks at Dipper 'Dipper, things like my Grin Reapbear or the Lamby Lamby dance isn't anything to be ashamed of, those are memories that you and your loved ones will cherish for your life… but to go showing it off either'
Dipper now feeling a little better then wondered 'are you going to continue your family business?'
Robbie laughed at the question 'oh **** no, I love my Parents but I'm still a die-hard rebel'
'So what is a Die-hard rebel going to do for a living?' Ford asked with a sense of scepticism
Robbie without hesitation or doubt answered 'a Doctor'. Everyone in the room was silent though Tambry was cuddling him a little more
Wendy had to ask 'how is that a die-hard rebel's career?'
Robbie then Answered 'think about it, both of my parents make their living of the deaths of others, not condemning or anything but still, so the best way to be a die-hard rebel in my family is to make a living by helping others stay alive, and my recent scores in Math, the Sciences, and Biology exams show me that I have a promising chance to make that career'
Mable now intrigued 'what kind of Doctor?
Robbie looked around for a bit then remembered his sweater and his part in the zodiac 'I am thinking Heart surgeon' he looked around 'but enough about me, Soos and Melody are the main attraction'
'Thanks Rob Dude and thank you all dudes for coming'
then Melody Stood up 'now may our wedding planner come forward and give us all the plans we need'
Mable then Stood up and holding a file that was labeled MelSoos wedding plan v-1.13, as she opened she gave sheets of paper to those she thought would be able to execute the plans on the sheets 'ok so the plan will go like this, we have the yard in front of the old sap church reserved for this wedding but we need a decorations, Grunkle Ford you and the men will find and handle all the heavy items like tables, the canopy, and fencing. Ladies our job is twofold, first is all the floral and décor like streamers, veils, and things'. She then took a Breath and flipped through another page 'and next we'll proceed with Phase two witch is the Dresses and Tuxes and like before we'll divide into groups to get it done, this should take a few days and once that is done then it's to Phase 3 the Parties, Bachelor Party for the men and Bachelor Party for the women, but I'll save the details for that day'
everyone was just standing around while Mable took a breath
'and Finally on Saturday we'll start Phase 4 the actual wedding' she looked to the people just standing there 'OK! Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Pig and Goat lets GO, GO, GO!' she said as pounded her hands together like a dill Sargent.
