Chapter 2: Peeking Through the Mystery Shack
As the bus was driving through the woods, the Mystery Shack was up ahea5d. It hasn't changed pretty much as the sign of the place still said "Mystery Hack." The place though has gotten a little rotten and dirty since they last saw it, a sign saying that it was getting old.
"Alright kids," said the bus driver as the bus stopped in front of the Mystery Shack. "Here's your stop."
The Pine Twins grabbed their stuffed bags and exited the bus. As the bus drove off, the Pine Twins stared at the old shack that they hadn't seen in a good while.
"Wow…can you believe this Dipper?" asked Mabel quietly in awe. "It's been two years since we left…just look at it now."
"Yeah…I know Mabel," said Dipper with a thoughtful nod. "It's been a long while since we left…and now we're back."
They began walking up to the Mystery Shack as the sun was shining in the afternoon sky. When approaching the Mystery Shack, they noticed the windows were all boarded up, the door mat torn apart, and a hanging porch swing banging on the side of the door. It's as if the place was abandoned…
"Whoa…Dipper," said Mabel in a small voice. "What happened here?"
Dipper glanced at the changes of the shack and wondered the same thing, feeling a little uneasy. "I don't know…"
The exterior of the shack looked somewhat uninviting at the moment, making them feel a little bit nervous to go inside. All was quiet around the Mystery Shack…
"Dipper…I'm starting to get worried about this," said Mabel in a slightly anxious tone.
"Hey, don't worry Mabel," said Dipper nervously, chuckling uneasily to his sister. "Maybe Grunkle Stan was too cheap to fix this place up."
As they walked up to the door of the shack, Dipper knocked on the door.
…The door remained unopened…
"Uh…hello?" called out Dipper. "Is anyone there?"
When there wasn't any response, Dipper then turned the doorknob and opened the door. The door wasn't locked, as it opened with a loud creak, the light of the afternoon sun shined into the old tourist trap. The shop stayed the same, but it was even dustier and looked more worn as spider webs were in corners of the walls and counters of the shop.
"H-Hello…?" Dipper called out again as the Pine Twins went in and closed the door.
The twins looked around the old gift shop of the tourist trap, locating anyone that could be inside.
"Wow, Dipper," said Mabel. "Look at this place. It's gotten really old…but it's still filled with summer memories."
"Yeah…" said Dipper as he looked around the shack. "I just hope Grunkle Stan didn't somehow move out. Or else we came here for nothing."
As they continue to walk through the gift shop…a noise. The noise of a moan emerged within the Mystery Shack.
"Dipper! Did you hear that?" asked Mabel in fright as she hid behind her brother.
Dipper gulped. "Y-yeah…I heard that."
"You don't think the Mystery Shack is haunted now, do you?" asked Mabel, now trembling.
"No, don't be ridiculous, Mabel…" said Dipper as his eyes shifted around frantically, "…L-let's check the place out though…"
They exited out of the gift shop and headed to the living room of the shack. Dipper then pulled out a flashlight from his bag to check the premises. It showed that the living room was the same, so it was clear.
"Well, the living room is about the same," confirmed Dipper.
Suddenly, the noise appeared again…it was coming from upstairs. Dipper and Mabel looked up to the noise in surprise.
"Dipper…the noise is coming from upstairs…" said an uneasy Mabel.
Dipper nodded silently. As they started up the stairs, each step creaked beneath their weight. As they reached for the top, Dipper shone the light of the flashlight to the hallway. It was empty.
"It's clear from the hallway." advised Dipper.
"Check further…" warned Mabel before continuing to walk through the hallway.
They walked through the hall, the wallpaper torn up, the floor dusty, and also several deer heads hanging on the wall. They kept walking through the hallway until there was a door several feet away from them that was partly opened.
"Dipper…I'm scared." said Mabel, who was still hiding behind her brother in fear.
"I'm scared too, Mabel." admitted Dipper as they slowly approached the half opened door.
Right as they were near the door, a man emerged from behind it!
Dipper and Mabel screamed! "AAAAAHHH!"
"AAAUUUGGGH!" The man screamed as well. He looked old and only had a wife-beater shirt and blue boxers on. The old man's face shifted to terrified, to shock, and to irritation. It was almost like he didn't expect them coming here.
"Hey, who are you guys!?" yelled the old man who was now glaring at them. "Get out of my house or else I'll call the cops!"
"Grunkle Stan!?" said a shocked Dipper. "Grunkle Stan, calm down! It's us! Dipper and Mabel!"
It only took the old man, whose name was Grunkle Stan, a few seconds to adjust who he was glaring at, before finally recognizing his great niece and nephew.
"Dipper? Mabel?" said Grunkle Stan stunned. "Is…is that you?"
"Yeah Grunkle Stan." said Mabel in a worried tone. "It's us…"
Suddenly, Grunkle Stan hugged them, as if he hadn't seen them a long time. Surprised by the gesture, they slowly hugged him back.
"Oh my God," said Grunkle Stan softly. "It's been so long since I've seen you little rascals."
"We know Grunkle Stan…we know. It has been a long time." said Dipper as they smiled warmly at him once they stopped hugging.
Grunkle Stan smiled warmly at the two. He chuckled and said to them, "Well, alright then! Let me help you take your bags up to your room," said Grunkle Stan as he got their bags and walked them to their room where they used to sleep; the attic.
