I do not own Gravity Falls

REVIEW

"No one calls at night with good news"

-Grunkle Stan

If only he had remembered that. He awoke to the phone reading and when he looked at the clock it said 2:00 A.M. He was still half asleep when he answered it "this is Stanford Pines speaking" the voice on the other end spoke in a sympathetic tone "Sorry sir but this is police office Stanly Woods from Piedmont, California " this instantly woke him up after all why would a cop from California call here unless something bad has happened but "no" he thought "nothing bad happened they probably just found an old warrant for me or something" he thought but he knew he was just kidding himself and the officers next words confirmed that "I'm afraid there has been an accident" He was shocked and he barley remembered the rest of the conversation or most of his replies. After the call ended he went to an old cabinet and he took out some alcohol. He had stopped drinking ever since Dipper and Mabel came to visit because he didn't want to influence them but if he was ever going to get through the rest of the day he was going to need a drink. He made sure to only drink two shots so that he wasn't drunk after all telling Dipper and Mabel would be hard enough. He was debating about whether he should wake them up or let them sleep before telling them the news when he saw Dipper enter the kitchen.

Dipper was half asleep and he didn't notice his uncle as he got a cup of water. "Dipper" Stan said hoping that the kid wouldn't answer and he could put the moment off but Dipper turned to the sound of his voice.

"I didn't know you drank." Dipper said when he saw the alcohol on the kitchen table. "I don't usually but today is a….special situation" Satan said thinking that was the biggest understatement of the century "Hey can you do me a favor and wake Mabel and Cindy ...I know it's early but trust me I have to tell you guys something important." Dipper didn't understand why that sentence filled him with dread but the more he thought about it as he woke up Cindy and Mabel up the more certain he was that something bad has happened. "Grunkle Stan it's too early to get up Mabel needs hr beauty sleep" Mabel said as she rubbed her eyes "Ya Dad what's going on?" Cindy asked. Stan didn't answer right away as he pulled out three shot glasses and poured some of the alcohol in them "Have any of you kids ever had alcohol before?" he asked and they all nodded no "Well have one glass I have news to tell you and it will be easier to take after you have a drink." Dipper thought at first that Stan was joking but once he saw the look on Stan's face he grabbed a glass "We're under the age" Dipper said as a mild protest but Stan says "Don't worry after today if I catch you drinking you will be in trouble." All the kids took a shot and after they drank it Stan sat down at the table and let out a sigh "Dipper…Mable…I just got a call from the police in Piedmont, California" Stan took another drink and Dipper became even more worried "There was a car accident…they are still investigating what happened but…your parents …their…dead." Dipper was so shocked that he couldn't respond but Mabel was crying enough for the both of them "It's going to be ok kids." Stan said as he pulled them into a hug "What's going to happen to us?" Dipper asked and he was shocked about how emotionless his voice sounded "Well… when you kids were born your parent made me your godfather so I guess you're just going to have to live here full time." Stan finally said "unless you kids want to stay with other relatives…I know I'm not the easiest person to live with" Stan started to ramble on when Mabel gave him another hug and Dipper soon joined in "We like Gravity falls we want to stay." They both said which made Stan cry.

Mabel for the most part spent most of the next few days up in her bedroom making sweaters and crying softly. Cindy wanted to find some way to cheer Dipper and Mabel up but all of her ideas never got past the planning stages. She considered telling them that the sadness would eventually pass and they will be able to move on but she knew it would be pointless. The next few days Dipper felt like he was on auto pilot or something. He barley remembered what he did during the time he wasn't working at the Mystery Shack, certain events stoke out like Stan taking them shopping for the few things that weren't going to be delivered in the mail from their old house and then Grunkle Stan had to sign some papers that made it official that he was now Dipper and Mabel's guardian. Dipper was starting to get irritated with the citizens of Gravity Falls, they weren't being rude but every time they looked at him he saw a look of pity in their eyes and then they tell him that he will move on but what do they know. The only people who seemed to understand how he felt was Robbie (surprisingly) who gave him some good advice one day at the Mystery Shack "Dipper I know what it's like to lose your parents when you're young and I'm not going to give you some bullshit about how the pain will pass because it won't it will always be there no matter what you do… but it will become easier to deal with" Dipper was going to say something but Robbie walked away. Dipper was also surprised that Pacifica hadn't come by to say how sorry she was about his loss and this confused him. He knew he still had feelings for her but he wasn't sure he was ready to give her another chance yet and she seemed to respect his wishes because she gave him his space.

It was late when Dipper made his way home to the Mystery Shack. He didn't want to return home to the Mystery Shack because he couldn't deal with Mabel's crying anymore. He understands why she is almost constantly in tears but whenever he sees he cry he feels guilty. He hasn't cried once since hearing the news of his parents' death and he sees the look of anger Mabel sometimes gives he. It's not that he isn't sad about his parents' death but he just couldn't seem to let it out as easily as Mabel could so instead of going inside the Myster Shack he decided to hang out in the woods. He found a old log and he sat down, he had only been setting down a little while when he heard a familiar voice ask him "What are you doing?" He didn't know why but that question angered him "I don't see how that's any of your business Pacifica." To Pacifica's credit she didn't seem upset by his outburst she just said "Finally he is at stage 2." "What are you talking about?" He asked anger still evident in his voice, she sat down before continuing "There are five stages of grief they are, 1: Denial and Isolation which you have been doing the last few days." Dipper was going to deny this but then he realized that it was true he couldn't stand to be around people and that seemed to include his own sister at times. "Fine so I'm at Stage two: Anger I don't see what that has to do with anything." He continued and a silence fell between them "There had to have been something that I could have done, if I had argued against coming to Gravity falls when they first suggested it they would have had no reason to be in the car that night." He said softly but she said "That's stage three: Bargaining the truth is that there is nothing you could have done in fact if you had stayed with them you could have been in the car with them plus…we never would have meet" she says the last parts softly. Dipper felt better after hearing that last part but he just said "You don't understand." Pacifica nodded "You're right I don't understand why don't you explain it to me." Dipper was shocked no one had ever asked him how he felt they just assumed that he was sad they never wanted to dig any deeper than that "It just I'm finally realizing that I will never get to see them again, No more opening Christmas presents with them, no more being embarrassed when mom shows old baby pictures, no more of Dad messing up my hair and telling me how proud he is of me." Pacifica nodded and finally Dipper started bawling "I…I…I miss them so much." He said as he cried and he placed his head on her shoulder. Pacifica started to rub his head softly "It's ok Dipper let it all out." He cried and when he was finished he didn't move his head from her shoulder. "That was stage number 4: Depression there is only one stage left." She didn't tell him the last stage and he didn't ask probably because they understood that it was the hardest of all the stages, Stage number 5: Acceptance.

Mabel was getting worried Dipper hadn't returned home and it was getting late. She decided to throw on a sweeter and see if she could find him "Cover for me Waddles" she said and Waddles oinked "Hey what about me?" Cindy asked as she put on a sweet shirt and Mabel said "Fine you can cover for me too." and she rushed out of the room, "That's not what I meant!" Cindy yelled but Mabel didn't hear her. Mabel had only taken a couple of steps when she heard noises coming from the woods, she was nervous because she knew that the forest had a lot of monsters in it but then she heard Pacifica's voice so she decided to go and investigate. She finally found Dipper and Pacifica, Dipper's head was still on Pacifica's shoulder and Pacifica was still rubbing his head, they were holding hands. Mabel smiled and she slipped away without them noticing, she was happy for Dipper because he seemed happier when him and Pacifica was dating. She returned to her bedroom and Cindy asked "So how was the search?" "It was fine I found him." Mabel said as she climbed into her bed. "What was he doing?" Cindy asked and very softly Mabel answered "He's copping."

Me: Finally done with this chapter

Cindy: I don't get why you had to make this chapter so sad
