Dipper's POV

I can't believe this. I don't believe this. I don't.

Mabel and I were going to talk to our parents about summer vacation, when we heard it.

"Dave, how are we going to explain it to them?"

"Vanessa, it's ok. The kids won't figure out that they're adopted by themselves."

Did my father really just say that?

Mabel looked at me, with tears forming in the corners of her eyes. I led her back to our room, but before I left the hallway, I glanced at the door. When we got back to our bedroom, Mabel started to cry. "Hey, Hey. It's ok. I'm here. I'm here." I said, trying to comfort her. She sniffed and said,"I don't believe it. But... but why would they keep this secret from us?"

" I don't know, Mabel." I looked at her reassuringly, then said," I'm always here for you. Now, get some sleep. We'll talk in the morning."
