Chapter 2: Surprises and Secrets

Soos was the Mystery Shack's handyman, he worked there since he was 12 and he was a servant when it came to fixing things, which was why Stan kept him on despite well being hired on a whim.

But he also had a bit of a problem.

A problem that he, Stan and Wendy made a bet on. If the problem was revealed to the twins in the first half of summer, Stan won, second half of summer, Wendy won and went though the entire summer then he won.

However as Stan said the bet was off.

He came into the room.

"So what's wrong?" asked Soos.

That was when he noticed Ursa and May Belle.

"Why is there a unicorn wearing Mabel's clothes… and why is Mabel wearing Dipper's clothes?" asked Soos.

"Soos, the bets off." Said Wendy.

"But they didn't find out about…" said Soos his eyes widened, "Oh…"

He looked at the two.

"Wait how is Dipper human?" asked Wendy.

"I'm not, I'm a Dryad." Sighed Ursa.

"Oh okay." Said Wendy, "So I guess you got like a leafy dress under those clothes."

Ursa looked at Wendy.

"I'm dad's a lumberjack, he taught us about Dryads… trust me. It's better to be friends with them in that profession." Said Wendy.

Ursa shrugged.

"Don't worry, I know exactly what you're going through." Said Soos.

Stan took out some water balloons.

"Stan… were going to cheat anyways?" asked Wendy.

"Maybe…" said Stan, "Look it doesn't matter anymore, they have to see."

He tossed the balloons at Soos. The twins were shocked as they watched Soos transform into a bear.

"You turned into a bear." Said May Belle.

"You can talk?" asked the bear Soos.

"You can talk?" asked May Belle.

"Yuhi, I fell into Spring of Smarter than avenge Bear. It gave me the ability to talk." Said Soos, "And a strange picnic basket addiction."

"What?" asked Ursa.

"Oh yeah." Said Soos-y Bear (which he will be referred as a bear), "I get the urge to run around and steal people's picnic baskets…"

Soos-y bear began to run towards the door, but Wendy tackled him.

Stan took out a thermos and poured its contents on Soos, turned him back to normal.

"Thank you…" said Soos

"Is that really a big problem?" asked Ursa.

"Yeah, you two don't have any weird addictions d you?" asked Wendy got off Soos

"Nope." Answered May Belle.

"Not that I know of." Said Ursa.

"Good." Said Wendy, "Though I think I'd be able to handle a unicorn foal."

"What about me." Said Ursa.

"Uh…" said Wendy, "Oh look at the time, I have some work to do."

Wendy left to do something else.

"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Ursa.

"I think it means you're stronger than she is." Said May Belle.

"Oh, okay." Said Ursa, "Wait… what?"

Stan looked at the two, he didn't know what else to say or do.

"I'll bring it up to your parents soon." Said Stan, "Though like I said chances you might have to stay here longer than summer because of this."

The twins looked at each other with concern.

"Come on lets get you back to normal." Said Soos, "I'll show where we keep most of the thermos."

The twins looked at each other and shrugged.

That night the two of them were watching Ducktective. The Popular kids shows.

As they were Stan was in the gift shop, he stood at the vending machine there and put in a code revealing a secret door. He went down stairs where he found an elevator and went down that.

Where he came out was a strange machine, there pulled out a Journal, one that looked exactly like Dipper's but instead of a three there was a one.

He looked through it. He found the pages on unicorns. Apparently they could detect the pure hearts of humans and their hair could be used for magical protections.

Then he turned to the pages on Dryads. It told how they were bonded to trees and even without a bonded tree they had control over plants (though it was much stronger with a bond).

He sighed, knowing it would have to tell the two about the Journal. He went back upstairs.

He was planning to pretend nothing was strange about the town, but considering that the two were now cursed a whole fat load that did.

"There something we need to talk about." Said Stan.

"What?" asked Mabel.

"I have this book at explains all about Dryads and Unicorns." Said Stan showing them the journal.

Both of them stared at the Journal. Both of them were shocked.

"No way! You have one too!" said Dipper

"Wait did you just say too?" asked Stan.

Dipper took the Journal out of his pocket and showed it to him.

Stan looked at the journal. Tears started welling up in his eyes.

"Grunkle Stan… are you crying?" asked Mabel.

"No." said Stan who began to sob.

The twins looked at each her.

"What's wrong?" asked Mabel getting up and hugging.

"I'm not sad…" said Grunkle Stan, "I'm just so happy! I searched for the Journal for 30 years and you found it…"

"Why were you looking for the Journals?" asked Dipper getting suspicious.

Grunkle Stan stopped crying, "Let me guess, he put in Don't' Trust Anyone in there." Muttered Stan, "Considering he pointed a crossbow thinking I was going steal his eye it makes sense."

"What?" asked Mabel.

"Wait you know who the author is?" asked Dipper.

Stan sighed. He knew he could keep it quiet.

"All right what I'm about to tell you can't tell anyone, not even Soos or Wendy. "said Stan.

They all decided to sit at the table.

"Did your grandpa ever tell you had three brothers?" asked Stan.

"No." said Dipper as Mabel shook her head.

Stan sighed.

"See I have an brother, a twin brother." Said Stan.

Both of them were shocked.

"And he was the one who wrote the Journals." Said Stan.

"no way!" said Dipper.

"Where is he?" asked Mabel.

"Well we got into a fight… and I accidently pushed him into a portal he built." Said Stan getting a sheepish.

"What!" yelled both of them.

"I've spent the last thirty years trying to fix it." Said Stan, "But I can't do it unless I have all three journals."

Both of them looked at their uncle, they haven't been there long and they knew he was a lying con artist. But they looked into his eyes and realized he was telling the truth.

"So wait where's the portal." Said Dipper.

"Um… that's not important." Said Stan.

"You're hiding something." Said Mabel.

'I'm not hiding anything." Said Stan.

The twins looked at him. Stan sighed, in for a penny, in for a pound.

"All right I'm not really Stanford, I'm Stanley. Stanford is my twin." Said Stan, "I faked my death and took his life to pay off the Mortgage."

The twins were shocked.

"Does anyone else know about this?" asked Dipper.

"A coupe people your grandpa knew, the Black Queen of Japan." Said Stan.

"The Black Queen of Japan?" asked Mabel confused.

"She's the queen of the criminal underworld, she's so ruthless and cruel she makes the Yakuza look like the Salivation Army." Said Stan.

The twins were horrified how such a person would know their Uncle's identity.

"Also Donald Trump." Said Stan.

"Wait… you not only know Donald Trump, but he knows your real identity." Said Dipper.

"Yep! Before everyone knew him I knew him as El Gingo Diablo." Said Stan.

They looked at him and he had the same look in his eyes.

HE was telling the truth.

"So you stole your brother's life, and only your other brother, a ruler of the criminal underworld and Donald Trump are the only people whop know the truth?" asked dipper.

"Yep!" said Stan

"Your life is weird." Said Dipper.

"Hey, I'm not the one who turns in a nymph or a unicorn." Said Stan.

Mabel who laughed "He's got your there!" said Mabel.

"Does yours have information about Jusenkyo?" asked Stan.

"No." said Dipper.

"If it's in there must be in volume 2." Sighed Stan.

"You don't' have it?" asked Dipper.

"I just cried because you found one of them." Said Stan.

"You just admitted you cried." Teased Mabel.

Stan rolled his eyes.

"I'll make you copies on the page of Dryads and Unicorns once I fix up the copy machine. Just don't worry about the second Journal." Said Stan, "I doubt it has a cure anyway."

That night, as the twins were going to bed. Mabel seemed happy, but Dipper just stared at the celling.

"Hey you okay?" asked Mabel.

"Just thinking about everything today…" said Dipper.

"Oh come it's not that bad…" said Mabel.

"Neither of us are completely human anymore." Pointed out Dipper, "And Stan isn't who we thought he was."

"But he's still our Grunkle…" said Mabel, "Although we might need to ask him his name! Plus I'm part unicorn now! And I can still talk!"

"Well it's morel ice telepathy…" said Dipper.

"and you still look human." Pointed out Mabel, "And you still have hands and no picnic basket addiction…"

"I guess it could be worse." Sighed Dipper.

"See!" said Mabel.

"Can you get the lights." Said Dipper .

Mabel took out a grappling hook.

"Not that way again." Said Dipper.

Downstairs in the secret basement, Stan was overlooking everything as he did almost every night.

He sighed it felt nice having that weight off his chest. He was still going opt hide it from Soos and Wendy, but he didn't have to hide it from the twins.

But of course he was still worried. After all there was a lot he didn't know could happen. Even if they were cursed, a lot of weirder things could still happen.

And their adventure in Gravity Falls was only just beginning.

Next Time: Dipper and Mabel learn more about their abilities. Dipper figures it out pretty easily but Mabel has a hard time. At the same time Mabel has a great idea. What is it? Find out next time!

A/N: Okay, forgot to mention this but Mabel's unicorn alias and coat color/ Cutie mark (that's what it is, don't deny it!) is based off May Belle from the FiM official comic, if you haven't seen that character then wow… you need to see it. However her mane color is based on the color of the shooting star trail.

Also about Soos… I came up with that joke and it was so stupid that I couldn't help myself. I might have someone say "I don't think that's a good idea Soos-y" but I don't know to work it in.

Oh and the thing about Trump is based on something from the StanPines4Mayor Titter account from a while back… yes, according that not only does he personally know Trump they were in the Colombian prison together but Stan also sold him a dead muskrat back in the 80's… I don't know if it was taken down or not, but it was hilarious.

Oh and the Black Queen of Japan will play a role in the story later on, a cookie to anyone who can figure out her identity before I reveal it.
