Mabel Pines parked the golf cart right outside the grocery store. She takes out the keys then she hops out and walked up towards the store. She walked inside and looked around before grabbing a shopping basket. She walked towards the meat section of the store. She thought she could make up some Spaghetti Bolognese for diner tonight. It's been a while since her family had a proper meal. She looked at the different kinds of meats then she grabs a package of beef mince and puts it into the basket. She then goes over to the vegetable section and grabs two onions and a bag of carrots.
Mabel went off towards a different section of the store and grabs two cans of chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, spaghetti and Parmesan cheese. She looked inside the basket then she nodded to herself.
"Okay. We need some dessert" She grinned slightly then she walked off towards the frozen section. She went straight over to all of the different kinds of ice creams. She bites her lower lip as she looked at them all. She wasn't sure which to grab. So she decided to grab a tub of Neapolitan ice-cream and puts it into the basket.
"Alright then. Just need chocolate sauce and drinks" She grabs the last of her items then she carried her basket to the checkout. She waited quietly as her items were scanned then she handed the lady over the counter the money. She picked up the bags of groceries and walks out of the store.
"Mabel!" Mabel stopped in front of the golf cart when she heard someone call out her name. She turned around to see who was calling for her. She smiled slightly when she saw who it was. It was Lazy Susan. She puts the groceries bags in the back of the golf cart then she turned back around to face her.
"Hey, Lazy Susan. What's up?" Mabel smiled at her, but she noticed someone was hiding behind her.
"Oh dear, not much really. But I found this boy. I was hoping you could take him off my hands for a bit? I have a shift at work I can't get out of. It will only be a few hours" Lazy Susan told her in a bit of a rush, she moved aside to show the young boy to Mabel. Mabel looked at her a little bit surprised then she looked at the boy. The boy didn't look at her; he was staring down at the ground.
"You found him? What's his name?" Mabel asked Lazy Susan as she looked back at her again.
"All he said was, Stanley. Look dear I really need to go. Please just watch him. I'll pick him up in a few hours. Thanks!" Lazy Susan told her then she quickly left.
Mabel watched her leave in wide eyes then she looked at Stanley. Stanley still didn't even look up or say a word. Mabel bites her lower lip then she kneeled down to his level.
"Hey… Uh, Stanley, right? I'm, Mabel. It seems you will be coming back with me. It's okay, we can be friends" Mabel smiled sweetly at him; she didn't want to frighten him. Stanley looked at her shyly then he nodded his head slowly.
Mabel smiled then she picked him up and carried him to the golf cart. She sits him down into the passengers seat and puts on his seat belt. She goes into the drivers seat and puts her own seat belt on before starting up the golf cart and driving off back towards the Mystery Shack. Mabel had this strange feeling that she knew the boy, but she ignored the feeling for now.
"Dipper! I'm back! And I brought a new friend!" Mabel shouted out as she walked into the house with the groceries and takes them into the kitchen, with Stanley following behind inside quietly.
Dipper jumped from the sudden shouting then he frowned slightly when he heard the last part. He hopped off the couch and walked out of the living room. He walked into the kitchen and sees Mabel and the young boy. He thought he looked around three years old.
"Uh, why did you bring home a three year old? He has to belong to someone" Dipper frowned as he walked over to her and gets a closer look at the boy.
"Lazy Susan found him. She asked if I could watch him for a few hours. So I said yes. In a way. She kinda didn't let me answer her" Mabel told him as she unpacks the food and puts some of it into the fridge and some into the cabinets. Dipper frowned slightly at her answer then he looked back at the boy.
"What's his name?" Dipper asked her as he looked back at her. Mabel turned around to look at him.
"His name is, Stanley. That's all what he said to her. He didn't even say a word on the ride here" Mabel went back over to Stanley and kneeled down in front of him with a small smile on her face.
"Wait, his name is, Stanley?" Dipper asked a little surprised. He couldn't think of anyone else named, Stanley in town. Only their Grunkle Stan. Dipper went over to her and Stanley and takes a closer look at him.
Stanley looked at them shyly and nervously; he didn't understand what was going on, and who they are. He just wanted to go back home to his family. Mabel noticed him being nervous.
"Hey, it's okay. We are friends remember? You don't need to be scared" Mabel told him with a sweet smile on her face. Stanley looked at her shyly; he was about to say something until he heard a noise coming from the background. He quickly hid behind her.
"Hey, kids. I was thinking…" Stanford walked into the room as he spoke, but he stopped mid sentence when he noticed, not two, but three children in the room. He couldn't get a good look at the third child since the child was hiding behind Mabel.
"Oh, don't be scared, Stanley. This is our Grunkle Ford. He is super nice" Mabel stepped aside slightly so Grunkle Ford could have a good look at Stanley.
Stanford's eyes grew wide when he saw Stanley. He couldn't believe. He had to be dreaming. It had to be a dream. There was no way this was his brother. But there he was. Young Stanley Pines was standing in front of him. Stanley just stared back at him a little nervous, but then he noticed that the man had six fingers.
Stanford slowly walked towards him and kneeled down in front of him to have a better look at him then tears began to form in his eyes. Stanley looked back at him then he looked at Ford's hands. Stanford noticed this then he held out one of his hands to him. Stanley slowly reached out and rested his hand on top of Ford's then he looked back at him.
"Ford?" Stanley asked with a quiet voice.
Stanford nodded as tears ran down his cheeks then Stanley jumped into his arms and hugged him tightly. Stanford caught him and hugged him protectively as he sobs softly. He didn't understand why Stanley was so young, but he didn't care. He had his brother back. That's all that mattered right now.
