Dipper looked up at the Shack. He thought he saw movement in the rubble. “Mabel shh,” he whispered as he let go of her.

Mabel looked up and towards the shack in the direction Dipper was looking. She watched as Dipper walked slowly in front of her as if to protect her, though he probably wasn't much of a shield. Dipper then walked towards the rubble.

“Dipper stop,” Wendy commented.

“Be careful!” Pacifica hissed.

Dipper looked back. “Grenda grab Mabel,” he whispered.

Grenda nodded and grabbed Mabel. Candy was right behind her.

“Dude is it safe over there?” Soos said a bit loudly.

There was another flash of movement from the rubble and all the kids stopped. They stood there watching for another sign of movement, when there was none Dipper continued.

Suddenly a figure popped out from underneath the rubble. Dipper's face lit up when he recognized the person. He ran towards them. “STAN!” He cried out as he hugged the old man.

Stan bent down and smiled. “Glad you gathered your friends up Kid,” Stan muttered.

There was another sign of movement and Stan's eyes flashed with worry. “Stay here,” he said to Dipper and then looked up to see Mabel running towards them. Stan turned around and ran towards where the movement was. He started to unburied someone. Soon he pulled another person up. Someone who looked an awful lot like him.

Dipper looked back at Mabel to see if she was seeing this too. Her eyes were widened and it looked like she was scared. Dipper ran towards Mabel just in case she needed him.

Stan looked up at the twins and then at his look a like. “Welcome home...” he said.
