"GRUNKLE STAN! GRUNKLE FORD! IT'S A MIRACLE!" Mabel rushed into the shack and embraced her great uncles with a joy and enthusiasm that was extreme even for Mabel.

Wendy and Dipper followed her into the shack, "it wasn't a miracle Mabel, you did amazing and earned the lead!" Wendy said proudly, "fair warning several of the upperclass girls will be out for blood out of jealousy, but I won't let em touch ya!" she said.

"Wait...I'm confused...Why would upperclassmen be out for Mabel? and what miracle?" Ford asked dumbfounded by the burst of excitement.

"You are staring at our school's Eliza Hamilton!" Mabel said, her voice full of excitement and glee.

"That's my girl!" Stan said ruffling her hair proudly.

"and that's not the only good news! Wendy got the part of Angelica and Dipper is gonna be John Laurens!" Mabel said. Her face full of pride for her brother and friend.

"That's fantastic you two! Those are great historical figures!" Ford said.

"Yeah but I'm dead by the end of act 1," Dipper said. It wasn't that he wasn't pleased to get a part, but he wished he had gotten a part with someone who got a love plot mainly for Wendy.

Wendy gave his head an affectionate rub, "hey just for the record, Laurens is like the coolest founding father, he was against slavery and all sorts of amazing stuff! He was progressive before progressive was even a thing!" Wendy said with a smile.

This perked Dipper up quite a bit, "did he get a pretty girl?" he asked hopefully.

This caused Ford to chuckle in spite of himself, "well actually Dipper...nevermind I shouldn't say,"

"Say what Grunkle Ford?" Mabel asked, now very curious.

"Yeah sixer spill it!" Stan said amused.

Ford took a deep breath, sometimes being a history bluff was difficult, "it is widely believed that John Laurens had a...ummm sexual attraction/relationship with Alexander Hamilton during their time fighting in the war,"

Stan and Mabel stared at each other for a long moment before falling over with laughter.

Dipper put his head in his hands and moaned. Wendy laughed and put her hands on his shoulders, "hey at least your part is more important than you originally thought,"

"Man Alexander Hamilton sure got around...maybe I should have let you have him Wendy!" Mabel said still laughing.

"Haha believe me Mabel, I wouldn't mind getting to be all romantic with Cody Shucks,"

"CODY SHUCKS IS THE LEAD? DANG THAT KID IS GOOD!" Stan said to the confusion of the others in the shack.

"WHAT? It was lonely and boring around here when I was by myself...I may have seen him in a couple of plays...I'm allowed to be artsy aren't I?" Stan said defensively.

"Of course you are Grunkle Stan," Mabel said sweetly.

"Anyways this is gonna be the best play that school has ever put on, because it's gonna have my two super talented kiddos in it!" Stan said giving them both affectionate noogies.

"Hey what about me Mr. Pines?" Wendy asked playfully.

"It will have my two talented kiddos and my one lazy teenage employee," Stan chided back as he affectionately noogied Wendy as well.

They spent the rest of the afternoon excitedly chattering away about what the play would be like. They explained the basic plot (Ford already knew most of it due to his knowledgable history mind). They went over who got what parts. Tambry would be playing Peggy/Maria Reynolds, Robbie would be playing the angsty part of Aaron Burr, and dear Thompson would have the very hammy role of King George. It was shaping up to be a wonderful and exciting experience, but theatre is an unpredictable recreation, and with the town of Gravity Falls already being unpredictable there was no telling what lies ahead.
