Child of a Dream Demon [Gravity Falls]

Chapter 17: Secrets Revealed

[•Dipper's POV•]
I don't know what just happened now. But...

Its him...

Its really him!

"Finally! After all these long years of waiting, you're actually here! Brother!" Stan tried to hug Ford but failed when he punched him on the face.

Ouch.

"Oh! Ow! What the heck was that for?!" He exclaimed.

"This was an insanely risky move: restarting the portal! Didn't you read my warnings?!" Ford exclaimed angry.

"Warnings, schmarnings. How's about maybe a thanks for saving you from what appears to be, I don't know, some kind of sci-fi sideburn dimension?" Stan said.

"Thank you? You really think I'm gonna thank you after what you did THIRTY YEARS AGO?!" Ford argued.

Wow...

What a great reunion, I hope that doesn't happen to me.

"What I did? Why, you ungrateful... Don't expect me to go easy on you, just because you're... family." Stan tries to punch him but Ford ducks and grabs him, pinning him to the ground.

"Ah!" Stan groaned.

Someone stop them, please.

"Hey, hi. Mabel here. Quick question: WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE?!" On cue, Mabel interrupted them, I walked up beside her to take a better view of Ford.

"Stan, you didn't tell me there were children down here. And some sort of large, hairless gopher?" Ford questioned.

Wait, is he talking about Soos?

"Heh heh. I get that a lot." Soos didn't deny.

"They're your family, Poindexter. Shermie's grandkids." Stan explained.

"I-I have a niece and nephew, Greetings. Do kids still say greetings? I haven't been in this dimension for a really long time." Ford shook both Mabel's and my hand.

Hmmm....

I can't read his mind, interesting.

"Whoa, a six-fingered handshake? It's a full finger friendlier than normal!" Mabel said giddily.

"Hehe, I like this kid. She's weird." Ford remarked.

He looked at me with a smile, but I can tell he's thinking about whether or not I know. Even if I can't read his mind, I can read his expressions and actions.

"Your the author of the journals? All three?" I questioned.

"You've read my journals?" He asked, his eyes show nervousness.

"Yes, yes I have. I gotta say, your work is impressive." I praised with an innocent close eyed smile.

"I see, thank you." He appreciated.

"Anyways, there'll be time for introductions later. But first, tell me, Stan: are there any security breaches? Does anyone else know about this portal?" He interrogated.

"No, just us. Also maybe the entire U.S. government." Stan spout.

"The what!?" Ford flabbergasted.

"Fan out! We're not going anywhere till we find Stan Pines and those kids!" We heard Agent Powers speak from the security camera's.

"*Sighs* Okay. It's all right. We've got a while before they find this room. We just need to lay low and think of a plan." Ford mused.

"Well, it looks like we're stuck down here for a while. Who wants to tell us their entire mysterious backstory?" Mabel suggested.
