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

Take Back the Falls: Part 5

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

"Dude make a wish dawg!" Soos exclaims and Dipper smiles stating "You know on my first day here if you had asked me what I would've wanted I would've said adventure, mystery, true friends...But looking here at all of you I realize that every wish came true and more," He turns to me before continuing. "I have everything I wanted," He then proceeded to kiss me on the cheek while his sister addressed everyone.

"If I had only one wish it would be to shrink all of you with the shrink ray and bring you all home with us in my pocket but since that's impossible- Is that impossible?" She turns to Gram and Ford who wave their hands in a so-so manner. "Since that's probably impossible my only wish is for everyone to sign my scrapbook. I'll never forget you guys, wait," She pulls out the memory gun and smashes it to pieces. "Now I'll never forget you guys," The twins turn towards the cake and blow out the candles, Wendy pulling them into a hug and stating "I know officially declare you two technically teenagers! Welcome to angst and acne forever!" Wendy, Thompson, Lee, Nate, Robbie, Tambry, and I start chanting at the two. "One of us! One of us!"

"So how do you feel?" I ask and Mabel looks down at herself as she answers. "Same-ey but different-ey." "Hey you two when are you gonna open your presents already? I broke a nail wrapping them," Pacifica asks holding up her tape-covered hands. Pacifica had also started working more on herself though I think she's been doing that since the Northwest party but just like with Gideon she was taking baby steps. 

Grace's p.o.v. 

We started handing out cake while the twins opened their presents when we hear a car honk as it pulls up and out comes my sister Shelli. "Woah, who's birthday is it?" She comments as she steps out of the car and looks on at the celebration. "Shelli? Is that you?" I ask once I notice the familiar blonde. "G-Grace?! Y-you're here! Where have you been?!" My sister shouts pulling me into a hug. "It's a long story that'll I'll explain later sis but for now Ford and I are back." "Wait Ford disappeared with you? Isn't that him?" She proceeds to point to Stanley and I shake my head no. "No, that's Stanley, Ford's twin brother, when we had disappeared he took on his brother's name while doing what he could to bring us back."

I lightly explain as Shelli looks between the two brothers in realization. "Wait what about (y/n) is she ok? Is she better?" Shelli asks and with a smile, I nod and gesture toward (y/n) who was talking with the twins. "Much better, you made the right choice to leave her in Stanley's hands. She even has a boyfriend," Shelli begins to tear up seeing (y/n) was no longer literally grey and socializing with others.

"Wait, boyfriend?!" She asks in shock and rushes over to (y/n) to interrogate her. "(y/n)!" "Aunt Shelli?!" Shelli swoops her up into a hug and (y/n) hesitantly gave it back. I don't exactly blame her for not being too enthusiastic I had heard from her and Stanley how she had dumped (y/n) into his care as she had done to me and Ford years ago. I was annoyed with her for that and we'd be having a long discussion later about this and who would be taking care of (y/n) from now on. One thing for sure is that it wouldn't be her. "So how'd he do it? What helped you?" She asks and (y/n) gestures toward the twins. "These two, meet my heroes Mabel and Dipper Pines. They helped me," Shelli pulls the two in for a hug thanking the two for all they've done before teasing (y/n) about Dipper being her boyfriend.

Grunkle Stan's p.o.v.

I smile as I watch the kids open their gifts and talk to Shelli when my brother comes up to me. "Stanley, I need to talk to you," We walk to the side of the shack where it was more private and he explains the situation to me. "I didn't want to say anything with everyone listening but we've got a problem. Weirdmeggadon has been contained but I'm detecting some strange new anomalies near the Arctic ocean. I wanna go investigate it but I think I might be too old to go it alone and I don't want to put too much pressure on Grace to help me."
