Summer with the Pine Twins

The Legend of the Gobblewonker: Part 1

(y/n)'s p.o.v

"Are you ready for the ultimate challenge?" "I'm always ready!" "Then you know what this means," I hear the twins converse before both shout "Syrup race!" I turn around from putting away pancake ingredients, it was early morning and the two had wanted pancakes so the three of us had banded together to make them. When I turn around I see both holding a syrup bottle over their mouth as they squeezed the syrup out of the bottles both chanting for their syrup brand.

"Almost...Almost! Yes! I won!" Mabel shouts as she forces the syrup to come out and slurps the syrup down before coughing, Dipper turning his attention back to the magazine he was reading. Like I had been doing for the past week I smile at the two's antics and fill a glass of water and hand it to Mabel when Dipper speaks up. "No way! Hey Mabel, (y/n) check this out," He turns over the magazine for us to see. "Human-sized hamster balls?! I'm human-sized!" Mabel shouts and I point at the other page. 

"Actually Mabel...I think he meant this," She looks at the other page to see there was a monster photo contest the prize was $1,500. "We see weirder stuff than that every day, we didn't get any photos of those gnomes did we?" Dipper asks and Mabel shakes her head. "Nope! Just memories! And this beard hair," She pulls out a clump of hair and I move away from her, opting for putting her plate in the sink instead of having the hair shoved in my face like she was doing with Dipper.

"Why did you save that?" I hear Dipper ask before Mabel shrugs making the I don't know hum. "Ah, good morning knuckleheads, you two know what day it is?" Grunkle Stan asks the twins as he walked into the kitchen as I hand him a plate of pancakes. "Um...Happy anniversary?" Dipper guesses as Mabel shouts "Moseltov!"

"It's family fun day genius," Grunkle Stan says, grabbing the plate while thwacking Dipper's hat with the newspaper, soon turning around to open the fridge. "We're cutting off work and having one of those you know bonding type deals," He explains sniffing the milk from the milk carton. "Grunkle Stan? Is this going to be anything like our last family fun day?" Dipper asks as we all recall the last weekend's family fun day and we all shiver. "The county jail was so cold," Mabel mutters. 

"Alright, maybe I haven't been the best Summer caretaker but I swear today we're gonna have some real family fun, now who wants to put on some blindfolds and get into my car?" Grunkle Stan asks and the twins cheer before Dipper asks "Wait what?" Grunkle Stan has me blindfold the twins while he packed the necessities in the car. "Should we be worried?" Dipper asks as I tie the blindfold.

Dipper's p.o.v.

"Don't worry, I already know where we're going, trust me it's not illegal and the only thing you should be worried about is Grunkle's Stan's driving," I hear (y/n) say as she starts to lead Mabel and me into the car.

We had only gone down two streets and Grunkle Stan was already speeding down the road, someone was messing with the radio when I feel the car take a swerve. "Grunkle Stan!" I hear (y/n) shout before the car stops swerving, I'm guessing he was trying to change the radio. "Blindfolds never lead to anything good..." I mutter as I grab hold of the seat tightly.

"Wow, I feel like my other senses are heightened, I can see with my fingers!" Mabel exclaims and I feel her hands start touching my face and I laugh as I try to pull her hands away from me when I hear a thump and I go airborne and judging by the thump beside me so did Mabel. I nervously ask "Grunkle Stan, are you wearing a blindfold?" "Haha, Nah, but with these cataracts, I might as well be, what is that a woodpecker?"

 He says when (y/n) shouts "Hold onto something!" I heed her advice and grab the seat again and we scream as the car goes off-road. After a few more minutes, the car stops, and (y/n) helps us out. "Okay, okay, open 'em up!" We hear Grunkle Stan say and we take off our blindfolds to see...Him wearing fishing gear, we were at Gravity Falls Lake, above him was a banner that read Fishing Season Opening Day! "Tada! It's fishing season!" "Fishing?"

 Mabel asks as I raise an eyebrow at him asking "What are you playing at old man?" I ask and he gives us a bright smile and when I look at (y/n) she had the same one, she looked a bit excited too.

"You're gonna love it! The whole town's out here!" Grunkle Stan says and we look out on the lake to see that most of the town's folks were here. "That's some quality family bonding!" "Grunkle Stan, why do you wanna bond with us all of a sudden?" I ask, crossing my arms.

Grunkle Stan's p.o.v

I turn around to face the boy as I quickly thought up as an excuse, this was always my favorite day to spend with (y/n) and it was obvious she was excited to do this now that she's well you know. I figured she'd want to do this with her friends too but I knew that they'd say no to fishing most kids don't usually like fishing. "Aw, c'mon this is gonna be great! Besides (y/n), I've never had fishing buddies before, the guys at the lodge won't go with me."

I say before making air quotes as I continued to say "They don't 'like' or 'trust' me." "I think he actually wants to fish with us," Mabel says and I pull out three fishing hats stating "Hey I know what'll cheer you sad saps up!" I place the fishing hats on the kids and they take them off to look at them. "Pines family fishing hats, that's hand stitching you know," The kids looked at their hand-stitched names on that hat and (y/n) puts hers on as I say "It's just gonna be, you, me, and those goofy hats on a boat for ten hours!" "Ten hours?" Dipper questions and I pull out the joke book I got for my last birthday. "I brought the joke book."

(y/n)'s p.o.v.

"No! No!" Dipper shouts with a shudder as Mabel whispers "There has to be a way out of this,"  I give the two a really face as I tell them "Hey c'mon you two...You should give him a chance." "How is fishing fun?" Mabel asks and the two look at me expectantly. "You've never fished with Grunkle Stan before, just give it a chance...Please?" 

I ask and the two give each other a conflicting glance and I sigh with a frown, it was obvious how much they didn't want to do this. Before either could reply we heard shouting "I've seen it! I've seen it again!" Everyone's attention turns to Old Man Maguget as he ran down the docs, destroying everything in his path. "The Gravity Falls Gobblewonker! Come quick before it scrabdoodles away!" He shouts, shaking people before he started doing a jig. "Aww, he's doing a happy jig," Mabel says, gesturing towards him when suddenly Maguget runs over and starts shaking her shouting:

"No! It's a jig of great danger!" "Hey! HEY! Now, what did I tell you about scaring my customers?! This is your last warning Dad!" The tackle shop owner shouts as he walks out and starts spraying the poor old man. " But I got proof this time byguttony!" Everyone follows Maguget to the end of the docs where there's a destroyed boat floating in the water.

 "Behold! It's the Gobbltywonker what done did it! It had a long neck like a GIraffe and wrinkly skin like...Like this gentleman right here," He pointed at Grunkle Stan. "It chewed my boat up to smithereens and shimshamed over to Scuttlebutt Island! You gotta believe me!!!" "Attention all units, we got ourselves a crazy old man," Officer Blubs said, the crowd laughing at Maguget.
