Chapter 29

As the trailer was driving away to freedom, the avalanche was coming closer than ever. Everyone in the trailer were grabbing on to something as they were all making their get away. "Can this old thing go any faster?!" cried Stan.

"Well if would be if the avalanche wasn't too close." Said Ford, not wanting to mention the elephant in the room. The Groke was so large, that it made the trailer move slower with the extra weight.

Matt looked outside the windows and saw some snow falling. And in the snow, he could faintly see a glowing triangle flying with fear in his eye. "Uhh, Tyrone?" asked Matt pointing outside.

"Let that creep fall into the snow." Said Tyrone.

"We can't just let him die like that." Said Hartley looking outside.

"Yeah. He used to be our homie." Said Morso.

"Bill isn't friends with anyone!" said Ford.

"But he's from our town. C'mon guys, can't we save him?" asked Morso.

"Who is he?" asked Destiny.

"That's Bill. The triangle we mentioned." Said Tyrone.

"Oh him! The bad guy! Oh. The bad guy." Said Destiny now understanding the picture.

Stan opened one of the windows and called out to Bill who was falling.

"Stop the avalanche and we'll save your sorry ass." Said Stan.

"I can't! I have NO POWER!" cried Bill.

"Too bad. He's not going to make it." Said Stan closing the window.

The Groke however walked towards the Window and put her hand outside. She closed her eyes and in that moment, her hand started to freeze and out came a powerful blast of ice. The ice power quickly reached the avalanche and put it to a stop! Bill on the other hand was still falling and the Groke then froze him with some ice. Then, with a weird power of hers that was magnetic, she managed to pull Bill back towards the trailer, frozen like a popsicle.

Everyone's mouths were open wide. "What just happened?" asked Stan.

"Her Ice Powers. She used them for the first time in years!" said Morso.

The Groke smiled and her cheeks went red. Destiny gave her a hug. "You saved us all! Thank you sweetie!" she said.

"What are we going to do with him?" asked Tyrone holding a frozen Bill Cipher.

"We will take him to Gravity Falls with us." Said Morso.

"The Mothman can take him, and maybe he'll be on trial." Said Hartley.

"I thought he was your friend? Now your guys are going to deliver him over to the Moth?" asked Matt.

"The Mothman can be reasonable. He might lock him up for a while." Said Morso.

"He caused an end of the world like event back at Gravity Falls. I doubt he'll go be nice to him." Said Stan.

"The Groke will keep him frozen until we deliver him to the Mothman." Said Hartley.

"As long as that freak is like this, I'm good with it." Said Tyrone.

"Me too. Although you guys will have to hold him. We can't stand to look at him." Said Matt.

"Understood. We'll have the Groke carry him. After all, she froze him in the first place." Said Hartley.

Bill's eye was fuming with red hot anger, but he had no power. He truly was frozen and couldn't budge.

Ford and Stan exchanged looks and spoke secretly. "Are you sure it's a good idea to take him with us?" asked Stan.

"As long as they have him, I wouldn't care less." Said Ford.

The group then decided to stop at the same gas station they were in to get snacks and resupplies before they headed back to Gravity Falls, also to pick up the car Destiny was driving.

"Morso, Hartley, Groke, you guys stay with Bill. We'll pick something for you guys. Tell me, what do you guys like to eat?" asked Ford.

"Cheese for me. Hartley some biscuits and the Groke, fish." Said Morso. Hartley nodded and so did the Groke, who was still holding an angry and frozen Bill.

"This is easy. Let's go guys." Said Ford.

As everyone was about to leave, Matt noticed the large chunks of snow, and he wanted to play on it. Tyrone noticed and he quickly picked up a snow ball. He then threw it at Matt lightly. Matt looked at Tyrone and he grinned mischievously. He then picks up a small snow ball and throws it at Tyrone. Before they knew it, they began to play in the snow.

Destiny watched from afar and shook her head with a smile. "Those guys." She whispered to herself. She joined Stan and Ford into the store while the boys were playing outside with the snow.

As they were playing, Matt threw a snow ball that was rather large at Tyrone. He quickly ducked his head as the snow ball headed for him, but it quickly hit a young man walking by, around Tyrone's age.

"Oh man! I'm so sorry." Said Tyrone as he noticed how angry the boy looked.

"Watch it!" he snapped back, a little rudely.

Tyrone ignored the boy and kept playing with Matt. He was not in the mood to fight. The boy turned around and he felt like he lost something. He turned and turned and his face turned pale.

"Daniel. Where are you?" he asked softly.

Tyrone noticed the boy's distress and walked up to him with Matt. For a second, the boy looks at Matt, but before he could speak, he noticed he was not the boy he was looking for.

"Did you lose someone?" asked Tyrone.

"Did you guys see a boy that was following me a moment ago? Around the same height and age as your friend?" asked the boy.

"No, you were by yourself." Replied Matt.

"Oh great." Replied the boy.

"Don't worry. He's probably playing in the snow. We could help you look for him." Said Tyrone.

"No, not necessary." Replied the boy a little panicked.

Tyrone felt his unease and worry. "Is the boy your little brother?" asked Tyrone.

The boy nodded. "I see. Well big brother to another, I'll help you." Said Tyrone.

"You don't have to." Said the boy rather angrily. He looked at him and at Matt.

"There is no way you two are brothers." He said.

"We're foster brothers." Clarified Matt.

"Oh. Okay. Well, I think I'm good on my own." Said the boy.

He turned around to leave, but then Stan and Ford came out looking around. Behind them was a boy, that looked eerily similar to Matt. The older boy looks over and runs towards them.

"Daniel! Where the heck were you?!" cried the boy.

"Sorry. I went in to buy us some snacks with the scrap money we have. But these old folks helped me out." Said Daniel.

The boy looks at Stan and Ford and shakes his head. "It's a trap. They want to arrest us." Said the boy.

"This isn't a trap of any kind. Your little brother couldn't afford the snacks he was getting. He needed help." Said Ford.

"Besides, you guys are not the only criminals around here." Said Stan with a wink.

"What do you know." Said the older boy a little angrily.

"Sean! Don't you know who those two are?! They are the Pines Brothers! The travelers!" said Daniel who was excited.

"You two? You two are the crazy old folk that travel all over the place?" asked Sean.

"Well steady on. We may be old, but we still got some muscle in our muscle." Said Stan.

"Sean and Daniel Diaz. We were friends with your father Esteban. I'm so sorry for your loss." Said Ford.

Sean stood frozen in place, but Daniel pulled his hand. Tyrone and Matt watched from afar. "No way." Said Matt.

"What is it?" asked Tyrone.

"They are the Diaz Wolf Brothers? No wonder." Said Matt.

"Who?" asked Tyrone.

"About an year ago, they both lost their Dad during a shooting back home. The police say that Sean, the big guy was responsible and so is his little brother. Rumor has it they have telekinesis. Or at least one of them. Marcos and I used to read every article on these guys. They were our heroes. They travel all over Oregon." Said Matt.

"That sounds sad. But the police are after them for nothing? That's awful." Said Tyrone.

Sean didn't know what to say to Ford and Stan. But they old men quickly broke the ice.

"Esteban sent us an email a long time ago about your brother. And we know something that might help you." Said Ford as he pulled a map from his pocket.

"How do you know my father first off?" asked Sean.

"He fixed our trailer not too long ago." Said Ford.

"Also, he was my go too guy if I needed to smuggle something to my shop." Said Stan.

"This map here will lead you to some answers. Here in Mt. Hood, you will find out where Daniel's powers came from and how he got them." Said Ford.

"No way! I get to learn where I got my powers!" exclaimed Daniel.

"You guys don't have to do this. We don't want any trouble." Said Sean.

"No trouble at all son. Take it and clear your names. It's not fair the police are after you." said Ford.

Stan turned around and quickly shook Ford.

"The gas station owner inside recognized you two. He's calling the cops!" said Stan.

"How do you know?" asked Tyrone.

"I can read lips." Said Stan worriedly.

"You can come with us in our trailer! We are heading to Gravity Falls right now." Said Stan.

"Thanks guys, but we can't! Not if we find a way to stop this madness." Said Sean.

"Good luck to both of you." Said Ford as he patted Sean and Daniel.

Matt walked up to Daniel and the boys both smiled at each other. "My big brother died last year. We were your biggest fans. Please take this." Matt pulled out a small wolf keychain from his pocket.

"This was Marcos's favorite keychain. Please take it." Said Matt.

"I'm sorry for your loss." Said Daniel softly. He grabbed the keychain and Matt gave him a hug.

"Que Dios te cuida." Said Matt in Spanish. "May God take care of you."

"Gracias. Igualmente." Replied Daniel. They both didn't want to let go of each other, and when Daniel let go, Matt was crying. "It's okay, it's okay. Thank you." Said Daniel kindly.

He and Sean then joined together and walked deep into the woods.

"There they go." Said Matt. Tyrone walked up to Matt. "Marcos would have been proud of you." Said Tyrone softly to his brother. They both hugged and they went to the trailer.

Stan and Ford looked at the direction they were going. "Poor Esteban. To think a stupid cop shot him." Said Stan.

"I hope they will make it." Said Ford.

"They will. You and I survived. Tyrone and Matt got each other. And Sean has Daniel. Dipper had Mabel. Siblings are stronger than what we think." Said Stan.

Ford nodded and they went back into the trailer. Destiny came out and looked around. She was holding the boy's snacks. "What did I miss?" she asked herself.
