Summer with the Pine Twins: Summer's Coming to an End

A Tale of Two Stans: Part 1

Grunkle Stan's p.o.v.

"Finally after all these long years of waiting, you two are actually here! Brother!" I shout happily before he punches me in the face. "Ow! What the heck was that for?!" "This was an insanely risky move, restarting the portal," He tells me before (y/n)'s Gram chimes in "Didn't you read our warnings?!"

"Warning shmwwarnings how's about maybe a thanks for saving you two from what appears to be I dunno some sort of sci-fi sideburn dimension," I scoff at them only agitating the two more. "Thank you? You really think we're gonna thank you after what you did five years ago?!" He shouts at me and I prepare to punch him. "What I did?! Why you ungrateful..." I throw a left hook and the two sidestep away from me before I'm pushed toward my brother and he turns me around, holding my hands behind my back.

"Don't expect me to go easy on you just because we're family," I'm tackled to the ground when Mabel walks up, aging our attention. "Hi Mabel here, quick question, what the heck is going on here?!"

"Stan, you didn't tell us there were children down here," She tells me with her arms crossed, and my brother chimes in staring at Soos "And some sort of large hairless gopher?" "Hehe, I get that a lot." "They're your family Pointdexter, Shermy's grandkids." "I have a niece and nephew?"

Pointdexter asks with a smile before getting down to Mabel's level to shake her hand. "Greetings. Do kids still say greetings? I haven't been in this dimension for a while." "Woah, a six-fingered handshake it's a full finger friendlier than normal," Mabel awes at him. "Haha, I like this kid, she's weird." "And Pointdextette that's (y/n), remember? (m/n)'s kid," I gesture over to (y/n) and they both stare at her, Pointdextette's tearing up as she embraced (y/n) Pointdexter joining her as she sobbed out "(y/n) you're ok! I was so worried about you! I thought I'd never see you again, I'm so sorry!" "Gram, I missed you guys so much!"

(y/n) sobbed back while Dipper stood awestruck at the two, stuttering out "I can't believe it...You're the authors of the journals!" This catches their attention. "You've read our journals?" "Mainly just the third one but that's all we had," (y/n) corrects as Dipper starts rambling. "We haven't just read them, we've lived them! I've been waiting for so long to meet you that I don't know what to say I..."

He starts hyperventilating before his gag-reflex activates and (y/n) and Mabel rush to his side. "I think I'm gonna throw up, no, no, just gotta ride it out..." "Listen, there'll be times for introductions later but first tell me Stan are there any security breaches? Does anyone else know about this portal?"

I cross my arms and tell my bother "No just us...Also maybe the entire U.S. Government." "The WHAT?!" The two shouts in my face when we see on the security cameras the agents had come back and were searching the shack.

"Ok, it's alright we got a while before they find this room, we just gotta lay low and think of a plan." "Well, looks like we're stuck down here for a while, who wants to tell us their entire mysterious backstory?" Mabel asks and my brother nods his head. "Yes, I have some questions about all this myself, Stanley."

This confuses the kids. "Stanley?" Dipper asks and (y/n) chimes in. "But isn't your name Stanford?" "Wait...You took my name?! What have you been doing all these years you knucklehead?!" Ford shouts at me and everyone starts to surround me, demanding answers. "Ok, ok, I know I have a lot of explaining to do but first, kids this is my brother Standford, my real name is Stanley, and this is Ford's girlfriend and (y/n)'s Aunt Grace," I huff out and Mabel asks "Wait so you're not (y/n)'s grandma?"

Grace shakes her head no answering "Nope, when (y/n) was learning to talk she struggled to say my name and eventually she settled for Gram and it was just never corrected afterward," She shrugs and I cough.
