Through The Triplet's Eye: A Gravity Falls Fanfiction

Summerween

Stan's car whines, complaining about Stan's horrendous driving as he parks his car, running over the curb block and crashing into the 'handicap parking' sign in the process.

Stan, Soos, Mabel, Dipper and I file out of the car. I, as per usual, was fazed by Stan's driving. 

"Here we are, the Summerween Superstore!" Stan declared, pointing at the aforesaid superstore.

"Wait, Summer-what?" Dipper asked, obfuscated by the term.

"Summerween!" Stan reiterates as he pulls out his calendar, the occasion already marked on it. "The people of this town love Halloween so much, they celebrate it twice a year. And wouldn't you know it, it's today!" 

"Do you always carry that calendar in your pocket?" Dipper questions, weirded out by Stan's unwonted habit.

Stan pauses, thinking of what to say before settling for a simple answer, "Yes."

"Isn't it uncomfortable?" I question, my inquisitive nature getting the better of me.

He shrugs plainly. "I'm kinda used to it." 

Mabel taps her finger on her chin in a thinking pose. "Summerween? Something about this feels unnatural." 

Soos puts an around us three, completely allaying Mabel's suspicions with a simple sentence that seems to enliven the twins as well. "There's free candy!" 

"I don't like candy," I told Soos and the twins and unsurprisingly, they seemed shocked and nonplussed by this.

"Whaaaaaat?" Mabel drawls. "Who doesn't like candy?"

"Just try some, I'm sure you'll like it," Dipper encourages.

"Maybe, anyways, into the superstore!" I exclaim, directing my finger at the store ahead.

Shortly afterwards, I sprint to the store, with Mabel and Dipper following in tow. Once we irrupt into the store, the three of us go our separate ways. I was busy admiring the multitude of Halloween related equipment they had on display while the twins were...being themselves, suffice to say. "TO THE COSTUME AISLE!" The twins declare, Dipper pushing a wheelbarrow that Mabel occupied across the store.

I follow them to the costume aisle as I had no Halloween costume thus far and I did need to keep a tight rein on them before they could wreak any more havoc. Mabel's eyes light up when she spots three matching costumes. "Oooh look Dipper, Magnus, a peanut butter costume, a jelly costume and a jam costume for all three of us." 'Well, that's different.'

"Looks great! What do you think Magnus?" 

I look away nervously, fiddling with my necklace. "Uhh, I don't really wear Halloween costumes." 

"Pleaseeee Magnus," Mabel runs in front of me, clutches my knees and looks at me with her best puppy eyes. I, unfortunately, make the minor misstep of looking into those irresistible eyes again. I feel my eyes water and I eventually give in to her request. "Fine, only because Mabel's puppy eyes are irresistible." 'This is going to be embarrassing.'

Mabel pumps her fist triumphantly. "Yes!"

"Great! I'll take the peanut butter costume, Mabel, you take the jelly costume and Magnus, you take the jam costume." 

I raise my eyebrows in anger, wanting to pull his leg a little. "Who told you that you could decide the costume?" 

"Errr, I-I" Dipper stammers nervously.

My expressions change into a more happy one, patting his shoulder to reassure him and to show him that I was just messing with him. "Just joking. I'm fine with anything."
