Prologue
"Say that again?"
"I said that I have arranged for you to go with Dipper and Mabel to Oregon to spend the summer with their great uncle."
"And I'm going along because Mr. and Mrs. Pines don't really trust this great uncle Stan."
"Well that, and you mentioned how you wanted to get away for the summer."
"*Sigh* Where in Oregon are we talking?"
"Some small town in the middle of the woods, Gravity Falls I believe it was called."
"In the middle of the woods you say?"
"You leave the first weekday of summer."
"Alright, but I'm going to ask if Dipper and Mabel have any issues with my coming along before I completely agree. And just to be sure, this great uncle Stan knows I'm coming along with the twins?"
"It would be very remiss if the Pines offered without first having gotten permission."
"Yes it would."
"Mabel pinch me."
Mabel happily gives her best pinch right to the underside of Dipper's forearm.
"Ow! You did that on purpose." accused Dipper.
Mabel gleefully responded with, "Guilty as charged."
"Anyways," continued Dipper, "can you believe that Raphael is not only driving us out to Oregon, but is also going to be staying with us for the rest of the summer."
Mabel got starry eyed, "You don't think that he'll be driving his Mustang do you? I mean just imagine the looks on everyone's faces in Gravity Falls as when we would ride by."
And off she was in a daydream seeing herself cruising down an unknown mainstreet with people lining the sidewalk looking over and just dropping their jaws and going wide eyed. As the daydream continued it became more and more unhinged, going from confetti shooting from the back of the car with balloons falling from the sky to being crowned the queen of Gravity Falls with hundreds of man severvents to call her own.
"Mabel, Mabel, Mabel! *sigh*" His sister was off once more in her own little world of imagination and glitter, and this time he would leave her to drool all over her sweater. Thinking of the upcoming trip, any feelings of uneasiness were washed out of his preteen body as he remembers that his 17 year old, off and on again caretaker (as he didn't need a babysitter) was coming with.
Author notes:
- Reason to write = Was reading some fanfics while bored and got an idea for a story.
- What does this mean?
1. I'm not going to put in effort to check the source material to make sure I have the little details right.
2. It is an alternate universe story, thus I'm going to be adding and changing aspects of the world.
3. This is mainly going to be a story about Raphael, and not the Pines twins.
4. There is no real story board, so who knows what's going to happen.
- I'm going to be foreshadowing and not at all going to talk about what is foreshadowing and what isn't, but feel free to comment if I am being blatantly obvious and making you cringe.
