Chapter 4: A new place to fit into.
Crossover Town, Colorado, September 13th, 2012, Afternoon.
The wilderness of the western forests were shown in the surprisingly cool haze of the afternoon, The sun slowly began to settle on the North horizon of the Mountain tops, creating a lovely hue of gold and purple that graced the soon to be the night sky, This and more was much to the oblivion of two Ferrets were making their way through the forests of the westside of Crossover Town, Skint and Carl had been lost for a couple of days, having to try to reach Denver, Skint, the smaller of the two ferrets, began to regret ever letting himself being talked into the trusting the "Instincts" of his Companion, The more burlier Carl.
"Which way now, Carl?" Asked Skint as he hoisted himself over a log. "Straight ahead? Stupid ass, We've not seen any sign of a road for days! I told you we should have stuck to it."
"And get flattened by a speeding car?" Asked Carl offended. "No sir, I allus sez we go straight ahead, There's a town around here somewhere we can book a motel for the night when we find it."
"We've been lookin for this town for the last two days." Said Skint, losing patience. "At this rate, We'll never get ourselves to Denver, We might as well…"
A loud thud sounded not too far away, and a flight of birds flew off into the sky, The two Ferrets forgot their troubles and took notice of this.
"W-What was that?" Asked Skint, taking a quick look at his surroundings.
"I don't know." Said Carl, shaking a little, They both looked deeper into the forest, as echoes of group shaking began to sound.
"W-Wouldn't hurt to take a look now would it?" Asked Carl.
"Not me, You go look for yourself." Said Skint. "I'm done with what you think."
"I'm not gonna go, You go!" Said, Carl.
"No! Not me you!"
"No! Not me! You!"
The two ferrets glared at each other before looking in the direction they now dreaded.
"Couldn't we draw straws?" Asked Skint.
In the end, they both went to look, as they poked their head from a bush, they gazed in shock at what they saw.
A whole clearing stood smashed to pieces before them, trees were ripped apart, giant footprints were engraved in the ground and it didn't stop there either.
Skint and Carl looked around with terrified awe as they wandered through the destruction while turning around.
"W-What…" Skint stammered. "W-What could have done this…?"
"I don't know." Siad Carl as he nervously stood next to his friend. "It must have been huge, big enough to-"
A shadow loomed over the two ferrets from behind, They both looked up at the source.
And Upon seeing it, They huddled together and screamed as the roar was heard!
Meanwhile, In the town.
The Testaburger's car rolled through the street Avenue de los Mexicanos, as they came into their part of the neighborhood, Mabel noticed the drab greenhouse on the left side, Mabel had never been to her cousin's house before, wasn't the Mystery Shack, But not too different from her own house Back in Piedmont. As she got out of the car, she noticed that the house was not too far from another house, A Red house with an attached garage on the left side, The car pulled up to it, Harrold, Valorie, and Mabel got out and walked to the door, ringing the doorbell once.
A man appeared at the door, He had brown graying hair, wore glasses on the brim of his nose, and was dressed in a black collared shirt which he wore over a red one.
"Oh, Harrold, Valorie, You're back." Said, Mr. Stevens
"Hello, John." Said Harrold. "How's Wendy bean?"
"She's doing fine, no trouble at all." Mr. Stevens said. "It's been nice to have her over, "
He then called up. "Wendy! Your parents are back!"
Wendy Testaburger came downstairs when she heard this news, Cousin Wendy was much younger than the Wendy Mabel and Dipper knew from gravity falls, She was 9 years old, with jet black hair like her mother, wore a purple jacket, yellow pants, and a pink beret, she was followed by her friends, Bebe, A young Blonde girl in a red coat that reminded Mabel of Pacifica a little, and Red, another young girl their age with red hair and dressed in a dark blue coat and upon seeing her Parents, quickly came up to them.
"Mom, Dad!" She said, surprised.
Valorie knelt down and embraced her daughter, Mabel stood off looking downcast.
"Hello, Sweetheart." Said Harrold, kneeling down. "Hope you were good for the Stevens."
"Yeah Dad, Yeah I was." Said Wendy before she noticed Mabel.
"Hi Wendy," Mabel said with a managed smile.
"Mabel!" She said in surprise and went to embrace her cousin. "It's good to see you, Where's Dipper?"
"Dipper's away with Uncle Mark, Sweetie." Said Valorie. "He's… joining the watch."
Wendy was stunned. "W-What?"
"I think we'll explain more at home." Said Harrold. "Just go to the car now with your cousin."
"Okay…" Said Wendy as she said a quick goodbye to her friends and Mabel made their way back to the car and got in.
Once they got in, Wendy spoke up.
"So, How are you doing?" Asked Wendy.
"Fine, I guess." Said Mabel. "How have you been?"
Wendy didn't respond for a moment. "It was… I was devastated when I heard the news, I'm so sorry for what happened."
Mabel looked down for a moment before speaking again. "Yeah, I've been hearing that a lot."
"So, Dipper's really joining the Freedom Watch with Uncle Mark?" Asked Wendy. "That's… kind of awesome."
"Yeah, I guess." Said Mabel. "It's just so… frustrating."
"What is?" Asked Wendy.
Before Mabel could respond, Harrold and Valorie came back to the car,
"Alright girls, time to go." Said Harrold as he shift eh gear into reverse, They drove out of the Stevens alleyway and parked into their own.
"Wait, Why are we in the car?" Asked Mabel. "Can't we just walk over to your house?"
"Yeah, But this was more convenient for the car." Said Valorie. "Now, let's get you inside and settled in."
Once the Family entered their house, Valorie took Mabel's things and Waddles to the guest room as Harrold sat the girls down on the sofa.
"Now girls." Harrold began. "This has been a… difficult time for all of us I know, There's going to be a few changes around here Wendy, Your Cousin Mabel's going to stay with us for… a while… a long while… and your Cousin Dipper will be coming too."
"Really? When?" Asked Wendy.
"When your Uncle's tour of duty is done." Said Harrold. "It might take a while, until then I hope you can make your Cousin comfortable here."
"Sure Dad." Said Wendy.
"Now Mabel." Said Harrold as he turned his attention to her. "Since your going to be around for a while-"
"You don't have to beat around the bush." Mabel said suddenly.
Harrold gave her a resigned look. "Since you're going to be… living here for a while, We're gonna get you enrolled in our local School here, You still need your education."
"School?" Asked Mabel, perking up a little.
"For now, You can make yourself at Home here." Said Harrold. "And if you're coming home late, for any reason, please call, before 11:00 that's our bedtime."
"Aw, Curfew?" Asked Mabel. "C'mon! Uncle Mark, You really think-"
"That's the law in this house young lady." Said Harrold. "Do we understand each other?"
Mabel nodded.
"Good." Said Harrold. "Now, How about some djornos pizza for dinner?" He then went into the kitchen. "Who's up for it?"
Mabel lit up like a light for the first time in weeks. "Oh sweet, I do!" And she ran into the kitchen instantly, Wendy followed suit.
Soon as Mabel and Wendy gulped down slice after slice of Pizza as Valorie came in and spoke to Harrold, as the girls ate.
"I got her room all set up." She told him. "You think she'll settle in well?"
"I'd like to think so." Said Harrold. "There are plenty of good people here, She'll fit in fine." He paused. "Just as long as she doesn't run into unsavory characters.."
"What do you mean?" Asked Valorie. "Randy? He'd be over the moon to meet her."
"No, Not Randy." Said Harrold. "He took his family out of town for a while, gotta thank Gerald for that later, Probably to… cope with what happened to Henry, He's not evan what I was talking about?"
"Than… who?" Asked Valorie.
Harrold paused, and then in a hoarse voice, he whispered. "The Richards.
