Summer with the Pine Twins

Little Dipper: Part 1

Grunkle Stan's p.o.v.

We were all in the living room watching Ducktective, me in the chair, Dipper sitting on the headrest, (y/n) on the armrest, and Mabel hanging upside down on the skull when we suddenly hear the doorbell ring. Pulling out my eyepatch from my pocket I put it on and grab my magic 8 ball cane before opening the door. "Welcome to a world of mystery!" A man in a suit gives me a blank look as he asked in a monotonous voice "Stan Pines?" "The tax collector! You found me!" I shout before throwing a smoke bomb at the ground and running back into the house.

I pull off the decorative window above the chair and grab the duffle bag of money in the secret compartment and start tapping the stone wall asking "Which one of these is the trap door?!" "Mr. Pines," I hear and I jump as we all stare at the man. "I'm from the Winning House Coupons Savers Contest and you are our big winner!" A cameraman walks in and two beautiful ladies with a big check walk in as well, I internally squint at them I didn't enter any contest, I give a glance at the kids to see (y/n) in position and I continue the facade.

"My one and only dream which was to possess money has come true!" "We're rich! I'm gonna get a butler!" "I'm gonna buy a talking horse!" The twins exclaim getting my attention before I turn to (y/n) who gives a confused look with a shrug, flicking her wrist up to make that confused hand gesture and I internally nod as the guy tells me "Just sign here for the money." "You bet!" I shout grabbing the pen and write on the document when Gideon rips through the check with a wide grin.

"Ha! Stanford you fool! You just signed the Mystery Shack to little ol' me," He does this creepy little victory dance as the twins gasp. (y/n) and I give each other a smirk and she starts to giggle as he asks "What are you laughing at?" "Uh might wanna take another look there," I tell him and reads the document out loud.

"The shack is herby signed over to suck a lemon little man!?!" Gideon rips the contract in half in anger while we all burst out laughing at him. "How dare you! I am not a threat to be taken lightly!" He shouts at me before gesturing to the man to pick him up. "I'll get you, Stanford Pines, I'll get you all!" He leaves, yeah keep telling yourself that buddy cuz as soon as I give (y/n) the look she and I will figure out your plan. Whenever something suspicious would happen we'd work together to figure out if it was legit or not. "Wanna see what else is on tv?" I ask the kids and we go back to the chair to channel surf. 

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

Soos and I were restocking the shelves while Dipper and Mabel played chess. "Little guy to black space nine!" Mabel calls out and I turn around to see her move her pawn as Dipper tells her "It's a pawn, that's not your color and stop stealing the tiny horses." "They like it better in here, don't you babies?" Mabel says soon making horse noises, her sweater had a pocket that she was putting all the knights in.

"And checkmate," Dipper says moving his final pawn to trap Mabel's king. "What?! Boo!" She shouts as Dipper marks a tally in his notebook as he does an adorable victory cheer. "Oh! Dipper wins again!" 

"Yo Mabel, can you pass me that brain in a jar? The lady one?" Soos suddenly asks and Dipper goes to get up stating "I got it." "Thanks but Mabel's taller." "What? No, she's not! She's the same height, we've always been," Dipper says, soon looking at me for confirmation as I look the two over.

"Better check again Dipper," I say, grabbing the tape measurer and tossing it to Soos who measures the two. "Yep, she's got exactly one millimeter on you," Soos confirms as Dipper asks "What?!" "Woah! Don't you see what's happening Dipper?! This millimeter is just the beginning, I'm evolving into the superior sibling! Bigger! STRONGER!" Mabel starts to shout, Soos soon chiming in.

"Like some kinda alpha twin!" Mabel starts chanting alpha twin and Dipper scoffs crossing his arms. "C'mon guys nobody even uses millimeters, it only makes you taller than me in Canada," Uh oh Dipper's insecurity was starting to show, not that I found it a bad thing he just wasn't very confident in himself and in situations like these more often than not Mabel and Grunkle Stan mock him for it, making him feel worse. 

I'm not sure if it was some sort of plan to get him more confident or what but it never helped and he would spend the rest of the day trying to fix that part of himself when he didn't need to, I hated it when that happened.

"You know I've always wanted a little brother, who knew I already had one," Mabel starts mocking when Grunkle Stan walks in, rubbing his eyes. "I was awoken by the sound of mockery, where is it? Show me the object of ridicule."

"I'm taller than Dipper," Mabel explains and Dipper starts getting defensive. "By one millimeter!" "Hey, hey! Don't get...Short with your sister," Dipper and I give each other a blank look as they continued to mock him. "Now Grunkle Stan I hope you don't think...Little of him!" "Yeah! And uh...Uh...He's short!" The two starts laughing and Soos intervenes "Dude, maybe you should lay off a tiny bit-"

He was cut off by Grunkle Stan laughing who also slapped his back exclaiming "Tiny! Soos is in on it now!" Dipper leaves the room as Soos tried to correct himself. "No, I didn't mean that." "Dipper will forget he's got a 3...2...1..." Mabel counts down and the two say in unison "Short-termed memory!" The two high-five and Grunkle Stan winces. "I high-five hard."

Author: Speaking of chess random fact, back in middle school I was in workshop and at one point we were working with 3D printers and we had to make our own chess pieces and by the end of the unit we got to 3D print one of our own pieces I printed out my pawn, the teacher was like "Are you sure?" I still went with it out of all the pieces I designed I liked my pawn design the best if you want I can show it next chapter.
