Mabel Pines was currently in her bedroom, which she shared with her twin brother. She was alone at the time. She was sitting on her bed staring down at the sash she made for her Grunkle Stan a while back. She hasn't been herself since the incident. No one has. She wasn't even wearing one of her sweaters. She was just wearing a plain light pink shirt with her black skirt.
Mabel sighed sadly as she neatly sets down the sash onto her pillow then she hops off her bed. She looked outside the window then she made her way out of the bedroom. It was very quiet in the house. But she wasn't surprised about that. She walked down the hall quietly then she walked down stairs. She looked around slightly curious then she walked off into the kitchen to grab herself something to eat, but she stops midway when she noticed a light on in the living room. She walked off towards the living room and stands in the doorway. She saw her twin brother sitting on the floor in front of the television.
Dipper didn't even notice her. He stared at the television with a sad look on his face. He was watching the news. It was nothing interesting. It was just saying that things were almost getting back to normal. Gravity Falls normal anyway. But nothing will be the same anymore. Not without Grunkle Stan.
Mabel walked over to him and sits down beside him. Dipper felt someone sit close beside him. He frowned slightly then he looked to see who it was. He smiled sadly when he saw that it was only his twin sister.
"Hey..." Dipper said softly to her. Mabel nodded slightly then she rested her head onto his shoulder. She looked at the television screen. Dipper puts his arm over her shoulder and holds her close. It's been mainly just them two since everything happened. They haven't seen their Grunkle Ford. He has been down in the basement since the incident.
"We are getting low on food… I was thinking of maybe going into town to grab some food" Mabel kept her eyes on the television as she spoke to him softly. Dipper looked at her then he looked back at the television.
"Yeah… I've noticed. Do you want me to tag along?" He looked at her again as he asked her. Mabel bites her lower lip then she sat up straight as she shakes her head.
"Nah, that's fine. Maybe you could try to get Grunkle Ford out of his basement again? I went to see him last night. But he wouldn't leave. I left him a sandwich and a glass of water as well. So I hope he had that" Mabel said the last part with a sad voice. Dipper smiled sadly and nodded.
"Yeah. I'll try again. If he hasn't eaten, I'll try to give him some fruit or something" Dipper stood up and held his hand out to his sister. Mabel smiled slightly as she takes his hand then she got up as well.
"I shouldn't be too long. I'll be back in like twenty minutes" Mabel smiled then she hugged him tightly. Dipper smiled as he returned the hug gently. Mabel pulled away then she ran out of the living room and goes up to the front door. She reached for the doorknob and opened the door.
"Love you bro bro!" Mabel shouted out as she steps outside, but she waited to see if she would get a reply. Dipper smiled a little when he heard his sister say that, he noticed that she has been giving out more hugs and saying 'I love you' a lot. But he didn't seem to mind that much.
"Love you too, sis. Be careful out there!" Dipper shouted from the living room then he walked over to the living room doorway to look at her. Mabel smiled at him then she closed the door behind her and goes down the steps. She walked over to the golf cart and gets it. She grabs the keys from the dashboard and starts up the golf cart then she drives off towards town.
Dipper sighed slightly then he looked towards the vending machine. His sister and him have given Grunkle Ford some space, but they still tried to be there for him. But it wasn't easy either. He made his way towards the vending machine; he puts in the pass code then he steps aside when the door opened. He walked inside and goes down the steps quietly.
"Grunkle Ford?" Dipper asked out softly as he walked down the steps, but he didn't get a reply. He worried slightly, but when he made it to the bottom of the steps, he saw him fast asleep hunched over on the desk. Dipper smiled sadly as he walked over to him quietly. The first thing he saw was tearstains on Grunkle Ford's face.
Dipper reached up to Grunkle Ford's face and gently takes off the glasses. He sets them down onto the desk then he looked around to see if there was a blanket. He noticed a blanket on top of some boxes. He walked over to grab the blanket then he walked back over to his Grunkle. He gently and carefully puts the blanket onto his Grunkle. He didn't want to risk waking him up. He relaxed when his Grunkle didn't wake up. He looked around the basement. It was a huge mess. But he couldn't do anything about it. He looked over at the other side of the room and noticed the sandwich and glass of water untouched.
Dipper sighed softly then he walked over to grab the sandwich and glass of water. He looked back at his Grunkle then he walked back up stairs to leave the basement. He closed the door behind him when he made it upstairs. He went straight into the kitchen and puts the sandwich into the trash bin then he puts the plate and glass into the sink.
Dipper wasn't sure what to do now. So he thought to go back to the living room. He walked off back into the living room, but he noticed that it was a bit messy. So he decided to get it cleaned up until his sister returned with the groceries.
So here is chapter 2! Sorry for the long wait. I wasn't sure how to start it off. Also sorry again with another short chapter. I couldn't think of anything else to write. I'll try to do a bigger chapter in chapter 3. I hope you guys enjoyed! Please review.
