AN: Sorry this took me awhile to update. I'm kind of doing a recap in the first paragraph, just to let everyone know. Enjoy chapter 11
CHAPTER 11
Unexpected and repeated.
After Dipper kissed Pacifica, he ran back into the car. Mabel and Stan smiled at him while he was blushing from embarrassment. "NOT ONE WORD!" Dipper stressed strongly. Stan chuckled in the front seat. "Ah young love. The little guy doesn't know what's going to happen when I bring him and his sister back to the shack though. I hope they won't hate me." Stan thought as he turned the key and shifted the car into gear and drove away from Pacifica and Sasha's house.
After a while down the highway, Mabel was lost in thought as she stared out the window. "I can't believe Pacifica left the mansion with her mother. They both have changed so dramatically. I guess I have Dipper to thank for that, he always makes bad cases better. But still… It's nice that Dipper is able to see his girlfriend more often, but I wish I could see Michael too. Especially since Dipper and I don't have much time left here in Gravity falls." Mabel thought as a small tear rolled down her cheek.
Everyone was quiet in the car most of the way home, until Stan started to talk. "So did you kids have a good time?" Stan asked. "Yeah." Dipper and Mabel said at the same time. "That's good... I want you guys to know something. I unfortunately have some bad news that might not sit well with you two." Stan said as he gripped the steering wheel hard.
Dipper and Mabel listen carefully as Stan was preparing to tell them the bad news. "You two are going to move back with your parents." Stan said. "Wh-WHAT!" Dipper and Mabel said at the same time.
"Stan! Why are you making us leave this early in the summer!?" Dipper said as Mabel next to him was starting to cry softly. "It's not up to me kid. Your parents insisted on it, especially your father, my nephew. I wish I could keep you guys longer but you two got to start packing when we get home, because they will be here to pick you two up later tonight." Stan said with a sad voice. Dipper and Mabel heard Stan's sadden voice and knew he was sincere about this and he was telling the truth.
As they drove up to the Mystery Shack, there were two people standing in front of the shack. It was Dipper and Mabel's parents. They got out of the car and walked up to them. "What are you guys doing here? I thought you two weren't going to be here until tonight?" Stan said. "Well traffic was lighter then we both expected. Dipper, Mabel. It's good to see you two again." Dipper and Mabel's dad, Frank said. "We missed you two so much." Dipper and Mabel's mom, Karen said.
Dipper and Mabel gave both of them a hug, they were both happy and sad to see their parents. Dipper and Mabel did miss their parents, however, they didn't want to end their summer in Gravity falls so soon, especially Dipper. "We miss you two too." Mabel said. "Why don't you two go upstairs and get your stuff packed and we will get going." Karen said with a smile. Dipper and Mabel did as they were told and walked away with gloomy expressions.
Upstairs in the twins' room…
"Dipper…Why is this happening?" Mabel asked as tears rolled down her eyes. "I don't know Mabel. I guess they just want us back home now." Dipper said in a low sad tone. "I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE!" Mabel yelled as she ran to Dipper and cried into his shirt. Dipper hugged his upset sister and he too felt tears roll down his cheeks. "Why was this happening? Why couldn't they give us the rest of the summer to spend here in Gravity falls with Guncle Stan…With Pacifica… IT'S NOT FAIR!" Dipper thought as he cried harder.
"Kids you ready to go?" Frank called from down stairs. Dipper and Mabel broke from their hug. They packed up everything they had brought with them to Gravity falls and everything they got from Gravity falls including Waddles. They both looked one final look at their room, thinking about the great memories they both shared in that very room…"Kids the car is running. It's time to go now." Karen called.
Dipper and Mabel walked out with puffy red eyes and got into the back of the family car. They would have given Stan a proper farewell, however, he was nowhere to be seen. Dipper and Mabel were even sadder because their great uncle wasn't there for some reason, even his car was gone. "He probably couldn't say goodbye. This probably hurt him too much to see." Dipper thought as the car drove away, leaving behind the Mystery shack.
Dipper and Mabel's father looked at the sad twins in his rear-view mirror. "Don't worry kids, you'll see him again soon." Frank said. Dipper and Mabel just looked out each other's window. Soon they came up to a brown house with a garage. "Umm. Mom, Dad? Where are we?" Mabel asked while holding Waddles. "We're home sweetie." Karen said with a huge smile as she saw Dipper and Mabel perk up. "H-Home? I thought our house was in Piedmont?" Dipper asked. "It was…We sold it and moved here in Gravity falls. It might be a little bit of a down grade but…" Frank said until he was cut off by Dipper and Mabel hugging him and Karen from the back seat.
"hahaha. You two really thought you would leave Gravity falls this early?" Karen said as she heard her daughter cry with tears of joy as she let Mabel hold on to her. "Th-Thank you so much." Mabel said. "Well you two are going to be living here from now on. Might as well go inside and check out our new home." Frank said with a smile as both Mabel and Dipper bolted out of the car to the door of the house.
When they opened the door they saw Stan inside. "Surprise you two. Hahaha." Stan said. Then he was tackled with hugs from both of the twins. "I don't know if I should be mad or happy with you right now." Dipper said as he backed away from his hug with Stan. "Well if I told you two you wouldn't be surprised, I am a professional conman after all." Stan said. "You are just full of surprises today, aren't you Gruncle Stan?" Mabel said with a smile as she poked his face. "Ehh." Stan said. "We love you too." Mabel said.
Dipper and Mabel's parents saw the whole thing from the door and smiled. "They really do like Uncle." Frank said to Karen. "Yep they sure do." Karen replied as she held Waddles for Mabel.
After Dipper and Mabel were done reconciling with Stan, they both went upstairs to see their new rooms. Dipper and Mabel got their own separate rooms. Dipper's room had a window in it and his old desk, dresser, and bed from Piedmont California.
Mabel's room was filled with a bunch of stuffed animals on her bed. Her closet was also filled with all her sweaters she left behind in Piedmont, along with all her sowing stuff to make them with. She even got a small bed and food tray for Waddles.
They were both so happy they got to stay in Gravity falls, mainly because they didn't have much friends back in Piedmont. Most kids made fun of both of them when they were younger. Dipper was made fun of because of his birthmark and his awkward shyness. Mabel got picked on because of her obsession with knitting sweaters and being silly all the time. So needless to say the twins only had each other as real friends when they were growing up in Piedmont.
Mabel then walked into Dipper's room. "I got to call Candy and Grenda to let them know I'm staying here in Gravity falls." Mabel said with a smile as she went down stairs to use the phone.
"Dipper? Could you come down here please?" Karen called from down stairs. Dipper exited his new room and walked down stairs into the kitchen where his parents and his Great Uncle Stan were.
"Stan has told us all about your new girlfriend." Karen teased as Dipper's face got red very fast. "When will we get to meet her champ? I can't wait to see the prize my son has won. Hahaha." Frank said. "Well… I. I umm." Dipper stuttered as he got even more embarrassed by the second and his parents and Stan laughed at Dipper's embarrassment.
"We-Well um. You can meet her tomorrow if you would like. Mabel and I plan on hanging out with her again tomorrow and I could show you the way to her house." Dipper said. "Sure sweetie that would sound lovely." Karen said with a smile.
"How did you two meet? I'm sure you fell in love with her at first sight, huh champ?" Frank teased as he nudged Dipper's shoulder. "Umm. Actually we didn't get along at first but after I spent the day with her at her family's party, we've gotten closer and closer until we…um. Yeah." Dipper said as he blushed again and his parents smiled.
Mabel came into the kitchen while her parents were talking to Dipper. "Hey Mom, Dad, are we going to school here too?" Mabel asked. "Yes sweetie, since you both are going to be living here you will have to be enrolled in the middle school. We will do that when the registration date comes." Karen said. Mabel and Dipper nodded in agreement.
"Alright you two it's starting to get late, time for bed." Frank said. "Ok, goodnight." Dipper and Mabel said as they ran up to their parents and Stan for a hug goodnight. Frank and Karen smiled as they hugged their children back. When they broke the hugs, the kids ran upstairs for bed.
"I still can't believe this is really happening." Mabel said to Dipper. "Yeah, I'm glad we get to stay in Gravity falls and we don't have to move back to Piedmont." Dipper said and Mabel nodded.
"Well goodnight bro bro." Mabel said. "Goodnight Mabs." Dipper said back as the twins slept in their own rooms. Their parents believed that it was time they had their own rooms mainly because they're getting older and probably wouldn't want to sleep in the same room anymore.
Stan said his goodbyes to Karen and Frank an hour later after the kids went to bed and drove away back to the Mystery Shack.
The next day…
The very next morning Pacifica and her mother Sasha woke up and were eating breakfast in the kitchen. It was Sasha's first time actually cooking since she left her parents' house back when she was 25. Even though she was a little rusty, she managed to make a couple of omelets for her and Pacifica.
"This is pretty good Mom. I didn't know you could cook." Pacifica said. "Yeah, well it took me some time to get used to it again but I managed. Thank you." Sasha said.
"So where do you think you'll be going to work at Mom?" Pacifica asked as she took another bite of her omelet. "Well I'll either work at the post office or the Dinner Greasy's. I'll probably choose Greasy's because I would need the tips to help pay the bills. Before I can do that, I'm going to a car dealership to see if I can buy or rent a car with the money we have." Sasha said and Pacifica nodded.
"Your friends should be here soon and like I said yesterday, once I leave none of you will leave this house until I get back, understood? Sasha said. "Sigh. Yes mom." Pacifica said as she rolled her eyes. Sasha just giggled a little, thinking back when she used to be a teenager. She used to be just like Pacifica, always complaining about everything her parents told her to do, regardless of how little it was.
DING DONG…
The door bell rung. "Oh that must be them." Sasha said as she walked up to the door and opened it. She thought she was going to see Dipper and Mabel's great uncle along with the twins, but instead she saw two adults with Dipper and Mabel.
"Oh. Hello, nice to meet you." Sasha said in surprise. "Hello, we are Dipper and Mabel's parents. I'm Karen and this is my husband Frank. We just moved here yesterday and Dipper and Mabel told us all about you and your daughter, you must be Sasha." Karen said as she extended her hand to shake Sasha's.
Sasha shook Karen and Frank's hands as they converse. Dipper and Mabel made their way inside to meet up with Pacifica.
"Are those your parents?" Pacifica asked. "Yup. They moved here, so I guess we are now permanent residents of Gravity falls now." Dipper said with a smile. He was then tackled into a hug by Pacifica. "THAT'S GREAT!" Pacifica shouted with joy that everyone heard.
"So you must be Pacifica." Karen said with a smile as she and the other adults walked up to her and the twins. Pacifica backed away from Dipper little red in the face and nodded to Karen. "You have such a beautiful daughter." Karen said to Sasha. "Thank you. She really is and your kids are great as well." Sasha said with a smile.
"Oh. I just got to show you Dipper's baby pictures." Karen said as she dug through her purse. "NOOOOOOOO!" Dipper screamed as he ran to stop his mom but his dad and Mabel stopped him with a laugh, knowing today was the day to humiliate Dipper in front of his girlfriend.
Sasha and Pacifica looked at some of the pictures. One had a picture of baby Dipper in a little sailor's uniform, another had him playing in the tub with Mabel, and the last one had him on a toddler's rocking horse.
"Awww. Hahaha." Pacifica and Sasha said at the same time. Dipper's face got redder and redder as everyone started to laugh.
"Dipper you look so adorable!" Pacifica teased and Dipper just looked away ashamed and embarrassed.
"Well we will leave you two alone now. We will pick you up later, have a nice day you two." Frank said as he and Karen left. "Bye Mom, bye Dad." Mabel said as they walked out of the house.
"Hahahaha. You don't have to be embarrassed anymore Dipper they are gone now." Mabel teased. "Yeah. Sure." Dipper said still little bit embarrassed. "Come on Dipper lets go knit some sweaters." Pacifica said as she pulled on his arm.
"You kids have fun I'll be back in a few hours." Sasha said as she walked out the door too.
Up in Pacifica's room Dipper was sitting on the bed reading his book, while Mabel was teaching Pacifica to knit some sweaters on the floor. Pacifica chose a design and kept on knitting until she was finished 30 minutes later.
"Dipper, put down that book and come over here. I want you to wear this one." Pacifica said with a smile. Dipper rolled his eyes as he putted down journal number 3 on the bed and walked over to where Mabel and Pacifica were.
Pacifica held up a red sweater that had a green pine tree on the front of it. "Um this kinda looks a little christmasy." Dipper said. "Yeah I know. Think of it as an early Christmas gift." Pacifica said with a smile. "But Christmas isn't until another 5 months." Dipper said. "Just try it on Dip." Pacifica said as she threw it to Dipper.
Dipper struggled to get the sweater on but finally managed to slip it on after a few minutes of trying. "It's nice." Dipper said with a smile. Pacifica smiled too as she felt like she accomplished something meaningful, since she never made anything before.
"Thank you Dipper." Pacifica said as she kissed Dipper on the cheek and Dipper smiled. Then they heard a camera flashed. "Mabel do you carry a camera with you everywhere?" Dipper said. "Only during times like these." Mabel said with a huge smile. Dipper just shook his head in irritation.
"You got to make sure you make copies for me." Pacifica said as she too was smiling. "Will do." Mabel said as they both began to laugh. Dipper just sighed as he thought; "These girls are going to be the death of me."
