Again, sorry if some of you were confused, I'm just a person ^^'
Deep down in the worn out rotting basement where the machine that started it all was once shattered and torn apart, lays dormant and motionless. The once believed to be Armageddon device has doomed the walls with disintegrated pieces of its own. Stanley Pines awkwardly dragged himself along the crippled floor and dawned upon face-to-face to the contraption and heaved a heavy breath. "Mr. Pines?" An accent suddenly spoke, making him flinch. "Ugh, Soos. What is it now?" He grumbled out, quite rudely. "Sorry for, heh, you know, just killing the moment but-um.. What's in it for us?" The handy-man coughed. "Yeah man. We've been working day and night for months just to 'save' your brother even though we tried to convince you to move on. We still have a family you know and-""Alright, alright. Cut the drama!" Stan interrupted Wendy with a dismissive shout.
Stanley sighed. He knew he should've moved on. He knew he should have spent the rest of his life as a living lie. But he remembered how he felt like when he spent thirty years, working his life out for his own brother that eventually paid off. Then again, costing the lives of others.
"Okay, you'll have all my life's savings and possibly my whole scammed banks. This is more worth it anyways." He murmured while re-activating the portal that is now fixed ever since the twins left.
Wendy hissed in nervousness. "I-I don't know man.. Are you sure that that Stanford is Stanford? I mean it's a portal to another universe and all. And it might be from an alternate universe."
"Heh," The former boss of the Mystery Shack chuckled, "Even better."
The portal hummed violently, surrounding itself with its blue light and a mix of darkness in its center.
Stanley inhaled. "This is it."
Meanwhile…
"I can't believe the plan worked so well!" Dipper shouted with enthusiasm.
His twin chuckled. "Why of course bro bro! Its your plan after all." She said punching him lightly in the shoulder. Dipper blushed slightly at the compliment. "Hah, no, your plans work too! I don't even know how are we going to break out from this rusty old shack." He replied, packing and unpacking some of his stuff. He somehow has the habit of not leaving his journals where ever they might go. Mabel giggled at her brother's reaction. "Well there's me!" She smirked as she held up her somewhat damaged but decent-looking grappling hook in which Dipper gasped in disbelief. "You still have that all these years?!" He exclaimed. "I may or may not want to prank people nowadays at school but none of that matters 'coz we have a party to attend to!" She grinned as she released the trigger and set the hook flying to attach to a pole, breaking the tainted glass window in the process.
"Shall we?" Mabel smiled offering a hand.
"After you." Dipper bowed.
His sister snorted. "Finally! Dipper is a gentleman! I'll definitely be an aunt sooner or later!" She joked while they zipped through the electric wires.
"Ah, what? For your information, I was always a gentleman. Oh and um, after you." The former mystery hunter crossed his arms.
"Finally! Dipper will be an uncle!" Mabel giggled.
"Now Mabe-" "Whoop whoop!"
After zipping through houses and power-driven wires, they had successfully reached their gala destination. Well, except when Dipper accidently bumped into a flock of birds that started chasing them. Luckily Pacifica, with unsurprisingly huge amount of random spare clothes, was generous enough to lend them some before the celebration even started. Since the she was known to be busy at the moment, the butler gladly noticed them and let them in to do it. Truthfully, they were a bit too early when they arrived.
"Well bless my stars, if it isn't Mabel and Dipper Pines!" a squeaky voice loomed the velvet carpeted lobby.
"Hey Gideon!" The twins said in unison before hugging the dwarf.
"Golly, has it been a while! How about lets talk about our experiences while we wait for the fiesta!" Gideon grinned in excitement.
"Sure!" Mabel said dashing along with him through the hallways.
"So how's living with Pacifica? Are you married now or something 'coz, heh, you know, its-usually the thing when people are married." Dipper said, catching up with them.
With that, the duo softened their pace as Gideon chuckled anxiously.
"Erm.. No. But don't try to take her away from me, she's.. Not for sale." He replied with a slight grimace.
Dipper laughed nervously 'till it trailed off from fear.
"Where are we headed to? So sorry but my brother's just a tad bit jealous." Mabel whispered with slight mockery. Dipper's eyes shot wide but decided to keep quiet.
"Ohoh, well. We decided to make a 'guest living room' in case of certain occasions." the white haired man explained, "And, I don't really mind." Gideon giggled, making Dipper sweat in alarm.
In all the dwarf man's form, Mabel couldn't help but stare at the shimmering ring that he wore strangely in his pinky. And because she is Mabel, she started to compliment it.
"Wow, that's a pretty shiny ring!" Mabel said smiling.
"Oh, um, thanks! Heh, I bought it for m-my-mysel- Oh wait there's the door!" He responded suspiciously in a hurried manner. And to think he was walking rather faster than the two.
"And here we are!" Gideon announced as he dramatically opened the door, silently panting.
The new guest living room was not surprisingly breathtaking. The walls was finely decorated with blood-dyed curtains with golden swirls and brown diamonds. The mahogany floor was neatly polished and the ivory furniture looks so stable and soft to the touch. Never to forget the ironically ebony chandelier that hanged gracefully attached to the ceiling and a small simple fireplace to top it all off.
They sat around a golden round table prepared with tea and a round miniature chocolate cake in the middle.
Gideon took a sip of his tea before clearing his throat to speak. "So you're now at least on your twenties and Mabel's job is a fashion designer? Whoo-wee couldn't I agree less! So what do you say your job is, Dipper? Still chasing the old mystery life which can bring such adventure in one's living."
Dipper placed his cup down carefully before speaking. "Well, I'm retired presently from my 'job' its-more of a hobby, really." He chuckled nervously.
"W-well sometimes its good to stay out of always fidgeting around, searching for the most unexplainable answers eh?" The former prisoner stuttered suspiciously.
The male brunette made a confused face. "Uh, is there something wrong Gid-""I'm sorry."
"What?" Dipper asked Gideon curiously.
"I-I can't help it!" He suddenly kneeled before Mabel making her squeak.
"Woah! What's your deal man?!" Dipper screeched and stood in bewilderment and horror.
"Mabel! W-will you please marry me?!" Gideon stammered, shakily handing her a wedding ring.
"WHAT?!" The twins shouted simultaneously.
Everyone sat back like its their cue when the door opened abruptly showing a figure of a blonde haired woman in a rose and lavender dress, wearing sky blue tainted glass slippers and llama earrings.
"Hey! The party's about to- What. Is. GOING ON?!" The woman shouted after analyzing the situation.
"Sugar-plums! I-I"
"'I-I' yourself!" The blonde snapped, "I released you from your prison, I hired your own crew for the mansion, and I even made you your own room according to your standards, WHICH COST ME THOUSANDS OF PAPERWORK! Ehem, all of them, cost paperwork, oh hey Mabel and Dipper." The blonde cleared her throat to resolve herself.
"P-Pacifica?!" Dipper shouted, voice slightly cracking.
"Bestie!" Mabel cried out and hugged her.
"Gosh its been so long!" She sniffed, tears forming on her eyes.
"Ah sorry Mabel…I was really.. Busy." Pacifica frowned emphasizing the word as she looked angrily at Gideon.
Pacifica pulled out from the hug and hissed in irritation. "Because of you Gideon," She growled, fists clenching furiously, "The party's over."
"Wha-"Dipper started 'till he was interrupted by a loud 'BANG'.
All of them gasped as Pacifica looked outside the curtains seeing that the surroundings are lightly covered in baby blue light.
"Shit, its starting already?!" She cursed, stomping her foot on the seemingly levitating carpet.
