A elder woman lived peacefully in a small tavern house in the town of Gravity Falls with her youngest grandson, Soos Ramirez.
She was just minding her own buisness, knitting while Soos was out working and imagine her surprise when she heard a knock on her door and saw two young twins standing in her doorway.
(Now Dipper and Mabel are thin again, just in case you were wondering. Walking around for a while gave them good exercise)
"Oh my goodness!" she exclaimed. "What are you little children doing in my doorway alone?"
"We asked if we could come here and live with you," Dipper told her. "You see we ran away from two different homes with bad parents and we saw this house and said to each other, 'Hey! This house looks normal! Maybe people won't mind some company!'"
Mabel nodded and gave the woman her big cute eyes and wide eyes that made it hard for someone to ignore her. "So can we please live with you in lovely little house, lady?"
Feeling bad for the two poor kids after hearing what they said, she nodded. "Oh, of course I don't mind. Come in. Come in. I'm sure Soos, mi precioso, wouldn't mind some company."
"Soos? Who's Soos?" Mabel asked.
"Oh, you kids are going to love him when he gets home!" Soos' grandma beamed. "He is such a fun guy to be around! Now sit down and I'll make you dinner! You guys must be hungry!"
While Soos' grandma was preparing a meal of potatos, Dipper and Mabel grew a bit suspicious.
"Psst, Dipper. What if she wants to eat us like the baker woman had wanted?" Mabel whispered worriedly.
"You're right, Mabel," Dipper glared at Soos' grandma. "Hey, excuse me, uh... Soos' grandma…, are you going to try to cook us?"
"Why no!" Soos' grandma exclaimed. "I never bring harm to anybody!"
Dipper breathed a huge sigh of relief. "Good."
And so the children ate. The food was delicious.
Soon, a big friendly man, with a brown baseball camp, brown shorts and a green shirt with a huge question mark on the front of it, entered the house with a big smile. "Hey, grandma! I-" He paused when he saw two little kids on the kitchen table. "Abuelita! Who are these kids?"
"They are lovely little kids who had been abandoned many times," Abuelita told him. "So, they will be staying with us for a while."
"Aw, you poor kids," Soos came over and gave them a big hug. "Don't you kids worry. Me and my grandma will give you the best care ever!"
"Aw, thanks, Soos!" Mabel gushed. "That's really sweet of you!"
"Now who wants to play some video games?!" Soos cried out.
"I do! I do!" Mabel screamed joyfully.
"Yaaay! Video games!"
They all ran into the living room and played some games.
Yup. Life was FINALLY going to be good for the Pines twins until the day came when Abuelita decided that they should go.
"Look, you've guys been here quite enough," Abuelita said to the twins in the living room one week later with Soos sitting down besides them. "Plus your things are starting to cramp up the place and there's not much room for me to do things."
"But Abuelita!" Soos whinned.
"No buts, Soos. You have to understand that there's really not that much room for them here," Abuelita told her grandson. "Now help them pack up."
Soos and the kids all hung their heads as they walked upstairs.
"Now where will we go, Dipper?" Mabel asked sadly, tears starting to form in her eyes.
"I don't know, Mabel," Dipper sighed. "I just don't know."
Soos frowned. He had grown so attached to those kids. It was going to be so sad to let them go. Suddenly an idea came to his head and he smiled. He figured out a place where the kids could stay and where he could still see them everyday!
"Dudes!" Soos exclaimed. "You guys can stay at the Mystery Shack!"
"The Mystery Shack?" the twins looked at each other and glanced up at Soos in confusion.
"What's the Mystery Shack?" Mabel asked.
"It's a place filled with magic and enchantment!" Soos smiled. "And the boss there, Mr. Stan Pines, is such a nice man! Oh, you kids are going to love him!"
Dipper and Mabel gasped upon hearing the last name Pines.
"Wait… Stan Pines?!" Dipper gasped. "As in our last names?" He turned to Mabel. "Is he related to us in someway? No one in our family ever talked about him!"
"I don't know!" Mabel told him.
But before the twins could say anything else, Soos gave them their stuff and excitedly pushed them out the door. "Come on, guys! Oh man! I'm so excited to introduce you to Mr. Pines! Don't worry! He's a nice man! I sure he gonna love you kids!"
"I don't know…"
"Oh, come on, Dipper! Soos said he's a nice man! Plus I am excited to find out if he is a member of our family! Give him a chance!" Mabel told him.
"Oh, alright," Dipper nodded, giving in.
And so the twins followed Soos to the Mystery Shack, where they would meet the mysterious unknown Pines man who was probably a member of their family.
