Chapter 8

[LOCATION CHANGE: Mabel, Dipper, Stan, Soos, and Alex are still in the RV, travelling South, the cool Oregon breeze flowing in through the open windows]

Mabel- And then after Kylo saves you from the bad guys, which he just betrayed, you and him are transported off to the Bahamas for your honeymoon. But it isn't all fun and games. The bad guys come back! And oh no! Honeymoon ruined! But you and the sith had a plan. You kick their butts using the power of love and reunite on the beach in a dramatic slow run into a hug. He wraps his 2 fleshy arms around you as you embrace. Then-

Alex- Hey Dipper?

Dipper- Yes?

Alex- What is your sister reading me?

Dipper- Oh it's her Star Wars fanfiction. I keep telling her it's not accurate but she just won't listen.

Mabel- Of course it's accurate!

Dipper- He's an evil sith Mabel! He's on the bad side!

Mabel- Maybe to you, but I see Kylo's good side.

Dipper- Okay, whatever.

Alex- Stanley? One small question, where are we going?

Stan- Oh kid, call me Stan. Only my brother calls me Stanley.

Alex- Oh okay.

Stan- To be honest kid, I have no idea where we're going.

Alex- Oh.

Soos- [who is in the passenger seat] Don't worry dude bro! We'll be okay. Stan takes us on impromptu adventures all the time.

[whispering into Alex's ear]

Dipper- No he doesn't.

Alex- Oh no.

Dipper- Yep.

Alex- Well now I'm really worried.

Dipper- You should be.

Alex- Oh no.

Mabel- Don't listen to Dipper! He's just acting all sad and emo because Pacifica didn't come on this trip.

Dipper- Mabel... Shut up!

Mabel- You should totally meet her sometime! She used to be a major jerk but ever since my bro bro saved her and her family from an evil ghost, they have been pretty good friends. But Dipper's sleeptalking says he wants to be more than-

Dipper- Okay enough spilling all my secrets to the strange ghost-teen please.

Alex- Evil ghost?

Dipper- Yeah, he was all see-through and gross looking and dead.

[Dipper sees the look on Alex's face, which was slightly hidden by his hair, due to the strong blow of the cool Oregon breeze]

Oh no! You're a much better ghost than him. He was category nine.

Alex- No it's not that. There was just this other ghost back home, he was sort of, evil. 👉👈

Dipper- What do you mean?

Alex- He tried to steal me and my friends souls. It was a whole fiasco. But thinking about him brings back bad memories.

Mabel- Oh I'm sorry.

[Dipper and Mabel both give Alex a hug. Suddenly Soos creeps up behind him and joins the hug as well, Stan yells from the driver's seat over the loud, cool, Oregon breeze]

Stan- I would join this uh, group hug too, but... you know? Designated driver.

[Suddenly, the RV bounces up and down quickly, as if it rolled over a rock that was blown into the street by the cool Oregon breeze]

Anyways, looks like we're here!

Alex- Where is here?

Stan- My home away from home! Cuba!

Dipper- Cuba? Grunkle Stan, that's impossible.

[Dipper looks out the window, the hot Cuban sun beaming down upon him. This was Cuba all right.]

Dipper- The sun is like this nowhere else, Stan how are we in Cuba, this is impossible. We were just in Gravity Falls there's no way we could have travelled 2,879 miles in less than 2 hours!

Stan- Oh Dipper, you have a lot to learn about Gravity Falls. One bump on a road can trigger some strange anomaly and send you halfway across the globe. And it seems like I picked the right bump on the road huh?

Mabel- Wow! Cuba! Soos, I bet I can look directly at the sun for longer than you.

Soos- You are so on little dude!

[Soos and Mabel look up as Alex exits the RV]

Alex- If I had not fallen down the bottomless pit earlier, this would definitely be the weirdest thing I've experienced all day.

Dipper- Grunkle Stan? Why are we here anyways? What in Cuba can help us get Alex home?

Stan- Well Ford was picking up strange signals from here a week or so ago. And suggested I go and check it out. I'm assuming this might be linked to the Alex situation.

Dipper- Why would Ford ask you to come to Cuba???

Stan- This is one of the only countries in the Southern hemisphere I'm not banned from! And Ford was exiled from Cuba after an accident with a nerdy monster or something a few decades back.

Dipper- Well isn't that convenient.

[The gang locks up the car and begins to walk. They walk for a little over 10 minutes through the Cuban suburbs, the hot Cuban sun heating up the concrete causes them to bounce in their steps as they travel]

Stan- According to this tracker Ford lent me, this is the place where the signals are strongest.

Dipper- A normal suburban house?

Stan- Come on kids.

Mabel- Wait, I'm about 30 seconds from beating Soos!

Soos- In your dreams dude! I'm totally winning this!

Dipper- You guys are STILL staring at the sun!?!? Don't either of you care about your eyes?

Mabel- Our eyesight is minimal compared to the eternal glory the winner of this contest will obtain!

Soos- What she said dude, we bet 5 bucks on this. And god knows Stan doesn't pay enough for me to give that up.

[Both of their eyes were swollen, red, puffy, moist, and dripping with tears due to the hot Cuban sun beaming down on them]

Soos- Dude I can't do this anymore. I need my eyes to stare at Melody's pretty lady face.

[He diverts his eyes away from the hot Cuban sun]

Mabel- AHA! Eternal glory for Mabel!

[She looks down, tears dripping onto the curb heated by the hot Cuban sun.]

Mabel- [grabby hands] mm mm.🙌

Soos- Fine.

[He hands her a wadded up 5 dollar bill which was already losing color due to the hot Cuban sun.]

Stan- Enough stalling, can we go in already.

Alex- Yes! Let's get me home!

[Stan, Soos, Dipper, Mabel, and Alex all walk up to the steps of the home, Mabel trips a bit, but Dipper helps her back up. They all reach the door. Stan knocks on the door. A scramble of footsteps is heard and the lock clicks, the doorknob turns, and the door opens. In the doorway stood a figure, she was about Alex's height, give or take an inch or two. The hot Cuban sun illuminated her bright blonde hair, which was tucked into a bouncy ponytail. She caulks her head to the side]

Adora- Hello? What can I do for you?

Stan- Adora????
