Birth of the Mystery Shack (Alternate Version)

by Master Fan Reader

The following is an alternate version of how Grunkle Stan acquired the Mystery Shack, beginning at the end of the last episode of Gravity Falls season 1. Where in this version Stan reveals the truth about what he knows, but in a different version. Rated T for swear words and violence. This is my first fan-fiction that I've posted here so please give me your opinion.

2. Chapter 2

In the last chapter, Dipper and Mabel Pines had just told their Great Uncle Stan Pines about the third journal. However, in an unexpected twist, Grunkle Stan revealed that he had been in possession of not only the second, but first journal; the one Gideon had been trying to get his grubby/puny hands on. This shocked the twins' eyeballs out, (not really that would be disgusting and probably lead the story somewhere I was not planning, nor want it to go). Knowing what he had to do, Stan begins to tell them the whole story, starting now…

Birth of the Mystery Shack (Alternate Version) Part 2

Grunkle Stan's Narrative

It all started on a Friday night in 1963, back when I was a young entrepreneur, touring the country, looking for profitable opportunities. At the time I was in Las Angeles checking out some of the sweet clubs, particularly one called "Hot Nights" which became the place that changed my life.

I on fire that night as the ladies were all over, begging me to let them marry me while I racked in the dough, (money), with my genius card playing skills. Heck I was doing so well that at the rate I was going, I'd soon have enough money to buy my own country.

"Ya right! I thought you said you were telling the truth?"

Third Persons Point of View

Once again the Pines family was shocked as Wendy Corduroy, (Stan's teenaged employee/Dipper and Mabel's friend), suddenly appeared, leaning on the door frame of the attic with her arms crossed.

This left the room in silence for a minute or two till Stan broke it. "Wendy, what are doing here? Also how long have you been standing there?'

'First off, I was bored so I came up here to see what you were up too. And second, Soos and I've been here since you took those two journals out from your coat.'

'Wait, Soos," Dipper, becoming even more surprised.

"Uh ya dudes. I followed Wendy up here and witnessed the whole scene." said Soos, (the Mystery Shack repair man/Stan's most loyal employee and president of the Stanford Pines fan club), as he appeared from behind the doorframe. "However, I had no problem with Mr. Pines 'story. In fact, (nudged Stan in the shoulder), I was thinking it made sense.'

'Uh Soos," complained Wendy. "Have you not paid attention to the kind of person Mr. Pines is? I mean he's a professional liar for crying out loud. No offence Mr. Pines.'

'None taken'

'Uh I don't mean to be annoying," interrupted Dipper. "But can we please get back to the whole Grunkle Stan revealing how he acquired journal number one in the first place?'

'Ya what Dipper said," agreed Mabel. "But Grunkle Stan you have to promise not lie at all while telling the story. And that includes not making yourself cooler than you really are.'

'Sign. Alright you have my word.'

'Pinky promise," she asks as she holds up her right pinky finger.

"Yes, pinky promise," the old man said as he shook Mabel's pinky finger with his.

"Now it all started…"

TO BE CONTINUED….

Sorry, I keep expecting to get to the explanation but things just don't always go as planned. Besides the whole "TO BE CONTINUED" right when he beings to explain things again seems kind of cool. However, I promise the truth of the Mystery Shack, and Grunkle Stan got the first journal will be revealed in the next chapter. Please don't get mad.
