Location: Medford, Oregon

Wendy couldn't believe her eyes. It was the same twelve year old kid she had fallen in love with after one summer day when she was just fifteen back at Pines Falls. She looked almost the same as her fifteen year old self. She was just a little taller and her long red hair wasn't as long. "Sweetie, come here." She said, her voice shaking.

Dipper rushed over to his wife and saw the younger Dipper sitting on the floor. "What the..." He went up to Dipper and crouched down, he lifted younger Dipper's hair, exposing his birthmark. "I can't believe it! Grunkle Stan was right this whole time! The portal works! It's a miracle!" The older Dipper was going crazy! He was smiling nonstop, it was as if he had just won the lottery. "We have so much to talk about, and so little time. He turned to Wendy, who was completely confused about what was going on. "Honey, get the minivan out of the garage. We're going up to Pines Falls!"

He now turned to Mabel, who had taken off her wig, realizing that their cover was blown. But she had put on Stanley's fake mustache. "If he's Dipper, then who are you?"

"She's Mabel, my twin sister." Younger Dipper said, still sitting on the ground.

"Unbelievable. She's alive..." Older Dipper said, clearly touched. "This is just amazing."

Wendy looked at Stanley. "I haven't seen him this excited since I told him I said yes to his marriage proposal." Wendy's sense of dry humor was still there. "And what are we supposed to do with Mabel, Dipper?"

"Grenda can watch her. She's sleeping anyways, so it shouldn't be that big of a problem." Dipper then ran up the stairs, before coming back down moments later, with a blue and white hat with a pine tree on it.

"You still have that? I thought you got rid of it." Wendy said, helping younger Dipper up.

"Are you kidding me? Get rid of this? I'd rather sell my soul!" Older Dipper exclaimed as he put the hat on. The older Dipper nearly matched the younger Dipper. Older Dipper was obviously taller, but just a little taller than Wendy, about an inch. His hair was still the same color and length. The only real difference was a scar on the right side of Older Dipper's head and some scruff for a goatee.

Wendy looked at her husband. "Dipper?"

Both of the Dippers responded "Yes." simultaneously.

"Okay, that's going to be a problem." Wendy said as she laughed a little.

"We could call the older Dipper, Big Dipper. And we can call my brother Little Dipper." Mabel said, still wearing the fake mustache.

Wendy, Stanley and Mabel all burst into laughter. "I'd prefer Tyrone." Little Dipper said.

"I'm with him." His older counterpart said, pointing to Little Dipper.

Grenda walked into the room to see what all the commotion was about. "Wha... he's you." She said, pointing between the two Dippers.

Little Dipper began to laugh. "You know, at first I thought Grenda was your wife."

Big Dipper began laughing hysterically at this notion. "No offense Grenda..." He said as he wiped a tear from his eye. "...She's not my type. As for why she's here. Well, we met in Pines Falls, which I'm sure you did in your universe. And she came around the Shack every so often. We ended up bumping into each other here in Medford and she was looking for a place to stay, so i let her rent out one of the rooms."

"Ahh." Dipper said relieved.

"Now, I do believe we have another dimension to send you guys to." Big Dipper said, heading to the front door.

"We can take my convertible." Stan interjected. Besides, if I'm going back home I'm going to need someone to take it off my hands." Stanley said smiling.

Big Dipper was clearly excited as he jumped and ran out the front door. Little Dipper turned to Wendy as they walked out the front door. "Man, do I ever grow up?"

Wendy chuckled as she shut the door behind them. Stanley got into the driver's seat, while Big Dipper took the seat next to him. Mabel, Wendy and Dipper sat in the back, in that order. The sun was shining, so Stan lowered the roof of the convertible as he made his way back to Pines Falls. Big Dipper pulled out some paper and a pen and began to write.

Little Dipper tapped him on the shoulder. "So whatever happened to Mabel in this dimension?"

Big Dipper stopped writing and stared straight ahead. He began to talk, a chilling tone in his voice. "Like you, I was born a twin. When we were one year old, there was a terrible disease outbreak in California. Some sort of flu. Anyways, both Mabel and my mother were infected. And both of them had their lives claimed because of it." He paused.

"I'm sorry to hear that..." Little Dipper said apologetically.

"At least it's nice to see that Mabel does live on somewhere else, even if it isn't here." Big Dipper went back to writing before pausing again. "I have a question for you. Are your mom and Grunkle Stan still alive?"

"Yep. Mom is alive and healthy. Grunkle Stan is alive and... you know, Grunkle Stan." Little Dipper said as he laughed cautiously.

"That's good to hear. Make sure you do what your Grunkle Stan says, no matter the cost. He just wants what's best for you. And he has good advice... sometimes." Big Dipper said as he went back to his paper.

Wendy now turned to Mabel. "Is there anything different about your Pines Falls?"

"Yeah. It's not called Pines Falls. It's still called Gravity Falls." Mabel said before getting cut off by Big Dipper.

"You mean, the UFO was never handed over to the government by our ancestors?" Big Dipper said, turned around., definitely intrigued in this new development.

"Nope. It's still there. Not to mention, all of this weird phenomena happens around town. Like Gnomes that are alive, a multi-bear and an evil triangular shaped demon named Bill Cipher." Little Dipper told them all informatively.

"It's true. That Bill Cipher is a demon. It's the reason I'm here." Stan said as he watched a cop zoom by, with their sirens on.

Big Dipper continued writing and he appeared to have lost interest. Indifferently, he said "Interesting."

Little Dipper moved on. "And then there are three books, written by unknown authors that tell of these secrets in Gravity Falls. I found one of them, and that's how I got into all of this supernatural stuff."

"Make sure you're careful." Big Dipper said as he folded his paper up and stuffed it in his pocket. "And now for the big reveal."

"What are you talking about?" Mabel said, confused.

"I work for the government. And I know of every creature and everything else you just spoke of." Big Dipper said smiling.

The twins looked through Wendy at each other. "What?" They said simultaneously.

"During that first summer in Pines Falls, I found what was behind the vending machine in the mystery shack. The portal was a completely separate part of the UFO, so the government didn't take it when my ancestor turned it in. Somehow, the government found out I was doing work with the portal and brought me in for questioning. I eventually ended up with a job there working on the mysteries that could have been, since I knew enough about it already. They had put the UFO underground in a big domed structure when they took it from the former Gravity Falls and all of the creatures came to exist. Including Bill Cipher. Thankfully, a brilliant scientist that I worked with named Fiddleford McGucket figured out how to defeat Bill. He also wrote the three books you speak of, at least in this dimension. Assuming that your books have six fingers on the cover." Big Dipper said, smiling.

"It does. And that's amazing. But why didn't the government take the portal?" Little Dipper asked.

Big Dipper shrugged. "Hell if I know. But good thing they didn't, because we need it to get you guys home."

Little Dipper turned to Wendy next to him. "So how do I win you over, as a little twelve year old?" He asked confidently.

Big Dipper turbed around. "I'll take this one honey." Wendy smiled. "You're going to have to learn on your own Dipper. "He paused and Little Dipper swore that he saw Big Dipper wink. "It's one of those things that will just hit you, like a wall of bricks. Speaking of bricks... On July 4th, duck. Unless you want this." Big Dipper said as he pointed to the scar above his eye.

Wendy added one more thing. "And watch out for Robbie. Assuming the other me dated him." Dipper nodded as Wendy leaned in closer. "He's unstable." She whispered. They both laughed.

Pines Falls was only six miles away as Stanley continued driving on the highway with his sunglasses on. The cool summer breeze blew through their hair as the smell of green pine trees filled the crisp air. It was one of those car rides to die for.
