Fallen Pine Trees

Chapter 15: Welcome to the Future Part 2

The guest living room, like every other room in the mansion, showed off complete and utter wealth to all beings including Mason, Mabel, Soos, and Wendy. Though this room in particular, (despite its small size), appeared to be designed to show off the Northwest family's wealth, and other bits of "greatness" in front of their guests, (could be why this was called the guest living room).

All four young guests from another time sat on a luxurious couch in the middle of the room, surrounded by pictures/sculptures of various Northwest's, depicting their accomplishments throughout history. The wall facing the gang showed a picture of the current Northwest's, Mason and Pacifica, each standing strong and proud while they each presented themselves in a different way. Mason, "who has that scar from the previous chapter", had a smile on his face that showed great pride as he wore a huge medal that hung around his next, "he's also wearing an outfit similar to Indiana Jones, but without the hat". He held an open book, (similar to the Three Journals but with the number four on it), in his right hand while the other hand rested behind his back. Pacifica was wearing a marvellous pink dress and decked out with all sorts of fancy jewellery, (including a golden crown). In her right hand, she held a golden pocket mirror that she was using to admire herself with.

Everyone was utterly amazed by all the artwork in the room, even Mabel. While Mabel had grown to despise the Northwests, she couldn't help but be amazed by the artwork, (and all the other decor) in the room. Though like the rest of the gang, her head was filled with questions about the future; such as whether or not she and Dipper were still enemies, or if their sibling bond had been restored.

With nothing else to do but munch on some ordures provided by the mansion's butler, the gang continued to ponder what the future held in store as they waited quietly for Mason and Pacifica's future selves to arrive.

Eventually, future Mason and Pacifica entered the room, making their way towards the guards who stood at opposite ends of the couch that the "guests" were sitting on.

"We brought them here just as you ordered sir," the guard on the left stated. "No problems what so ever."

"We also kept their mouths shut sir," the guard on right mentioned as well. "The girl in the clock sweater and the hairless gopher tried to make conversation once, but after I showed them, my little friend, here, "referring to his Taser", well we haven't heard a peep out of them since."

"Did they touch anything?" Future Pacifica asked.

"Other than the ordures that were provided, they did not touch a single thing mam," answered the left guard.

"Good work you two. Now leave us," future Mason ordered. "We wish to speak with them in private."

"Um, are you sure sir?" asked the left guard. "We don't know who they are, or how they got through the mansions outer security. They may be..."

"Leave us NOW!" Future Mason shouted. "OR THE NOW-FORMER NANNY WON'T BE THE ONLY ONE TO LOSE THEIR JOB TODAY!"

Knowing that it'd be unwise to question their boss's orders again, the two quickly made their way out of the room.

As soon as they'd left, future Mason and Pacifica went over and sat down on the couch across from the one that their guests were sitting on. There they sat in an uncomfortable silence until future Mason finally spoke up.

"Let me guess, you discovered the time cave and came here to see what your futures are like? Am I correct?"

"Yeah that's the truth older dude," Soos answered. "But more particularly we came to show your younger self and sister here that despite your misunderstandings, to two of you have a bond that's utterly inseparable. One that's stronger than even the Great Wall of China. Right dude?"

"Yeah um, well you see, about that," future Mason began to say awkwardly. "Mable and I…"

"Mother? Father?" a new/familiar voice, (familiar to future Mason and Pacifica), called out. Upon hearing the newcomer's voice, everyone turned to look towards the voice's origination at the room's entrance.

The voice belonged to a young boy who appeared to be around twelve years old and showed a striking resemblance to younger Masons in terms of height, and how their faces were pretty much identical. Though unlike younger Mason, the boy had blonde hair with black tips. The boy wore a black button up shirt with a gold plated Northwest symbol on the upper left side, a pair of dark blue jeans, and sneakers that almost looked as if they were actually made of gold.

The gang gasped in shock, realizing that this was, in fact, Mason's son.

Taking notice to the unexpected visitors, but while seeming confused, Mason's son turned towards his parents with a questioning look on his face. Which they, of course, could clearly see.

"Um, Tyrone, how do I explain this…um, well...meet the past versions of myself, your uncle Soos, and your aunt Wendy. They found this cave, located in the mountains, that allows people to travel through time, and used it to travel forward in time, hoping to meet their future selves, as well as see if some, (shall we say), 'old wounds' had finally healed."

The beginning part of Mason's explanation worried Soos and Wendy since he didn't bother to mention Mabel at all. This also caused Mabel to feel pissed off.

Tyrone seemed to understand what his father was saying. Even going so far as to not thinking this was unusual given his father's experiences with the supernatural. Though there was one thing that still puzzled him.

"So who's the girl in the ugly clock sweater?"

"HEY!" Mabel called out. Feeling majorly offended.

"Oh, that's your aunt Mabel," Soos chimed in.

In response, Tyrone turned his head to look over at Soos than at Mabel, then back to his father, he asked, "since when do I have an aunt Mabel?"

TO BE CONTINUED...


Once again ending with a major cliffhanger.

Also, excuse my swear words, but I did mention that this story was rated T for minor reasons.

F.Y.I. the portrait of Mason and Pacifica is based on an image I saw of Pacifica's parents in their galleries on Gravity Falls Wiki.
