A.N.- Hey everyone, sorry for the extremely late update. I kinda got sidetracked and forgot to continue this story. And I'm also extremely new at this, I have never posted stories that I have written before so I'm still getting the hang of everything. Anyway, a bit of background knowledge that I forgot to give the readers.

Mabel and Dipper are orphans (obviously). Their parents died in a car accident when they were 14. Their parents had it so that if they died, the kids would go to Gravity Falls to live with Grunkle Stan, their parents also had no idea about Grunkle Ford. A year after living with Grunkle Stan at Gravity Falls, Stan and Ford both died in an adventure that was overseas. So nowhere else to go, the kids were sent to live in Gravity Falls orphanage where they will be for the next 2 years. Then when they are 17 they will be adopted by the guy, Mr. Degraze.

Woo, that's all. Now, let's continue reading the story!

Chapter 3:

Mr. Degraze laughed as he looked at the twins face. "I know it is a little big, but you will get used to it." He chuckled.

"Are you like a billionaire or something like that?!" Mabel exclaimed.

"What!? No, believe me I wish. To be honest children, I'm just a man who worked hard for his money and in the end it payed off." Mr. Degraze smile slightly with a yellow gleam in his eye again. After the long drive was over and the kids entered the house, Mr. Degraze gave them a tour of basically the whole house…which literally took all day.

"Mr. Degraze, this house is amazing but is the tour over? I don't think I can feel my legs from walking." Mabel whined as she tried rubbing feeling back into her legs. He just laughed and showed them to the dining room. Everyone sat and ate the meal that was already place on the table. "I wonder if Mr. Degraze made this food. I don't see any other people in this whole house. Why would someone buy a huge house and only have one person living in it. Hmm, he must be extremely antisocial" Mabel thought to herself as she ate her food.

"Um, soooooo do you like live alone in this huge house?" Mabel questioned with food shoved in her mouth.

"Yes and you kids can call me Will." He answered smiling strangely to himself.

"Oh, do you ever get…lonely?" Dipper asked.

"Well, that's why I adopted you kids." Will answered again simply.

After a while, Mabel began to get bored so she went to bed early.

"Sorry, I'm not feeling so well, I think I'm going to go to bed. Thank you for the meal and everything else."

Will nodded and told her where her room was located. "Have a good night Mabel. See you in the morning."

And with that Mabel went off to bed. The twins had been living at their new home with Will for about 5 months. The twins had their 18th birthday there and it wasn't as bad as Mabel thought it was going to be. She was really starting to like Mr. Degraze and after a while she finally started calling him Will. And he didn't mind it at all. His face slightly lit up every time she called him by his name.

Mabel started back up again with knitting her sweaters. No matter what age she was, even at 18, she was always wearing and knitting sweaters. And soon after, Dipper started baking. Will taught Dipper how to make a basic apple pie and then suddenly Dipper wanted to make more. He started making his own recipes and Mabel was the test taster for every single pie.

The twins had been living with Will for almost a whole year and were finally fully comfortable with life. All was finally well. Except the only thing Mabel could never understand is her dreams. Every now and then she kept getting dreams about the mysterious man that she saw at the orphanage. She didn't understand it; it's not like she was interested in him. She doesn't even think about him until he visits her dreams. She tried talking to him but he never speaks.

It was early in the morning when Mabel felt someone slightly shaking her and whispering in her ear. It was just Dipper.

"Hey, Mabel. Mabel, I found this huge river outside. I was going to go exploring like we used to when we were little kids. Do you want to join?" Dipper asked cheerfully and excited. He always loved adventures. But the only answer he got from Mabel was groaning and pulling her blankets over her face. He just laughed and left the room without her.

After a few hours of Dipper leaving, Mabel finally decided to fully wake up. She got out of bed and went down to the kitchen to see Will but not Dipper. Confused, Mabel asked if Will where Dipper was and he just shrugged and smiled strangely. It had been hours and Dipper still wasn't home. Mabel was started to get really worried but Will assured that he was fine. Finally, Mabel had enough and went looking for him. She searched for two hours and never found him. She tried calling his phone over and over but got no answer. The sun was going to go down in an hour or two so she ran back home as fast as she could and told Will that she didn't find him and to call the police.
