The sky was blue and clear as seagulls flew by. The air smelled of sea water and taffy as a car was driving down a road that was on the side of a beach. The car was being driven by soos, who was talking about video games and comics while driving. While stan was in the backseat with no escape.

"Huh,What?" Stan said as he was dying to change the subject.

" yeah, you know your boat trip with your brother ford. Spending ten months on a boat fishing, trasure hunting, Hunting for sea monsters. y'know the usually old dude activetys."

As soos was talking he made a turn into an old beachside town ford asked stan to meet him in.Stan looked out the car window to see the town was full of old buildings and old candy and thrift stores. there was even a boardwalk where kids played games and watch circus shows. it was like stepping into the past of new jersey. the old neighborhood stan and his brother used to grow up in.

" You bet im excited. Being stuck with old sixer on a boat for ten months. going to be such a nightmare."

Stan said sarcastically. This was when soos let out a huge laugh. It was true though stan was looking forward to seeing ford again. His face wasnt showing it but he was totally estatic about seeing his brother and taking this trip with his brother. this was a dream co e true for stan! He was finally going to spend time with his brother ford. make up for the years that were taken from him thanks to the biggest mistake of his life. The next ten months were going to be nothing but brotherly bonding like the good old days!!!

soos finally pulled up to the dock and parked the car. He helped Stan get out of the car and grab his bags as he walked him up to the boating dock. Stan looked through the crowd of people on the dock as they were loading off fish in nets and / or sailing out to sea. but among the crowd he didn't see ford. Stan called his name a few times but saw no trace of him.

"Maybe he's just running a little late?"

"Ford,late? very unlikely he's usually the first one to arrive for these sort of things."

All of a sudden, a bright light flashed before stan causing stan to panic and trip and fall on the dock.

"Holy Moses's!"

"Stanley!" Ford yelled out excitedly and super happy to see stan.

"What the-?! Ford?!"

Stan couldn't believe his eyes it was Stanford! Stangord was in a dark blue hoodie with an orange vest along with some fisherman boots on carrying what looked like a high-tech gun. No matter though, Ford extended his hand help stan up from the wooden dock floor.

"Sorry about that stanley. I was in the process of preparing the boat and testing out my new transportation ray."

"That's so cool, dude. can you just go anywhere you want with that thing?" Stan said, intrigued.

Ford laughed before he gave soos an answer. " I can soos, as long its in this present timeline. just can't go anywhere in the past or the future. im still working on that part."

"Glad to see nothing changed while i was gone." Stan said sarcastically.

"yes, Glad to see nothing has changed much with you either."

Ford said as he pulled stan in for a hug. Stanley happily hugged back as he didn't see much of Ford after weirdmageden because of the fixing of the space rifts and preparing the stan o war ll for voyage.

"I present the Stan o War ll! new and improved, " Ford said as he presented stan and soos the new boat. it was a brown boat with a white sail with weord technology wired throughout the boat and had a lobby below deck with a bunkbed. With the words stan o war ll wriiten across the side of the ship in red paint. As Ford showed Stanley the boat as soos loaded stans bag onto the boat. Stanley couldn't believe how much the boat had changed, and Ford just looked at stan as he loved every detail of the boat as Ford explained all the boats features along with an emergency harpoon and boat kitchen.

"So, do you like it? if not, i can add some new features if you dont like it."

"Like it?! I love it!"

"Really? Are you not just saying that?"

"Of course not. With this boat. This is going to be the best ten months of our lives!"

Ford was relieved to see his brother so happy. Ford had been planning this trip for the last few weeks for so. Everything from their expeditions and adventures. Ford wanted to make it up for lost time and spend time withhis brother again. He knew how hard stan worked. worked to bring ford back to this dimension, and even after saving his him he still treated him like garbage the rest of the summer. Because of that he almost lost his brother in weirdmageden.

He felt like he needed to make up for his selfishness throughout the years and be a brother to stan again and this trip was the perfect way to get close to him again. Ford was going to make this trip the best ten months of their lives.

Soos finally loaded up the last bit of luggage and was time to say goodbye to the Stan twins.

"Well, i guess this is goodbye. I hope you guys have a good trip." Soos said as he felt like crying.

Stan noticed how torn up soos was. Soos was his longest worker and freind.

"Hey there soos, it'll only be for ten months and then we'll be back in the summer. just like old times." the months will past by before you know it. besides your the man of the mystery shack now."

Stan then ruffled soos's hair immediately causing soos's tears to flow.

"good sailing mr pines."

Soos then gave mr pines a huge hug almost crushing stans ribs. luckily soos let go before any of stans ribs could be broken. Soos then waved from the dock as ford started up the boat.

"You ready, Stanley?"

"Ready then I'll ever be sixer."

With that ford started up the boat leaving the beachside town behind and a waving soos from the dock. As the boat finally disappeared from soos's view soos returned to his car and began his drive back to the mystery shack in gravity falls.

The Stan o War meanwhile is setting sail. With two stans ready for adventure. The rest of the day consisted of the two brothers fishing and hanging out in the lower lobby of the boat with had a TV and a library. It also consisted of the pines getting settled on the boat as ford got his room together.

it seemed everything was turning around for the pines. But it was in the middle of the night when a huge clash of thunder struck near the boat waking Ford up in a panic.

"Stan wake up! Theres a storm outside!"

Stan wason the lower part of the bunkbed as he heard ford's panic voice.

"Cant this wait till tomorrow?"

"Stan! Part of the boat is on fire!"

"WHAT?!" As he got up stunned.

Both stans rushed onto the deck in a panic as they were welcomed by an raging storm. the fire was no problem as stan quickly put it out. The hard part was that a giant kravken had taken hold of the ship as it let out a blood curtling scream.

"Great heavens! Its the kraken! ive been trying to hunt this beast for months! ford said excitedly as he got out his journel and an inked pen.

"Ford! can this wait! This thing is destroying our only ship!"

"O-of course...sorry about. he said as he cleared his throat.

both brothers started fighting back against the giant kraken with fords high tech and stans fighting skills of just punching people in the face. The storm and the battle seemed to rage on for hours as lightning damced across the sky.

All of a sudden the kraken froze as he heard a scream from above. the brothers have seemed to hear it too.

"Uh,ford? is that you?"

"Dont look at me. Although it seems its coming from-"

Before ford could finish his sentance a bolt of lightning stuck the ship causing the ship to shake and the kracken to become so startled it swam away from the ship and back into the depths from which it came.

"Stan watch out!" as ford pushed stan out of the way!

this is because the bolt of lightning had bounced off the deck and zoomed across the ship slamming itself against the ships deck. leaving only a trail of smoke as the yellow light vanished.

" Holy Smokes! that couldve killed me! what is that?"

Ford was dumbfounded. he had no idea what it was. all he could do was investigate as he walked toward the smoke. Stan grabbed his bat and followed his brother with caution. from the smoke both the brothers heard a groan as a hunan like figure emerged from the smoke. it tried to stand up but failed. Then it heard footsteps and froze in its tracks.

" Uhm...hello?" Ford said cautiously as he hold up his gun towards it. "Are you alright?"

The figure turned towards ford still hidden thanks to the smoke and met ford with two glowing yellow eyes. Ford dropped his weapon in shock.

"Ford? Sixer? What's wrong? Stanley asked in concern.

Ford knew those eyes. He had hoped to forget those eyes! That he would never have to gaze upon those eyes again.

The eyes of Bill Cipher...
