"Welcome to Gravity Falls!"

The sign says as they drove by, "Are you SURE you could handle me? I mean, I got into multiple school fights, stole from a couple stores, suspended a few several times and-"

"That's enough, (Name). Besides~ you'll love it here! And with your mother always being busy, you're always left unattended to." Their grandmother cuts (Name) off, pinching their cheek. They flinch and pull her hand as she quickly lets go, mumbling a sorry.

"I can handle being by myself, 'ma. Have been for years." (Name) said, turning to left window and fidgeting with their fingers.

"(Name). You're staying here with me and your grandfather and that's final." She stated, focusing on the road. Their grandmother, Elise Jones Pines, was always a stubborn lady. If she says no then it's final, no more trying to reason with her. Which is why (Name) often wonder how she got married to their grandpa with her telling them stories of how she loved the idea of being independent with no lover when she was younger. Your grandpa must've put up one hell of a fight just to get her to go out with him.

Speaking of grandpa, (Name) also wondered what he's like. From grandma's stories, he was kind and caring though a bit ego-centric and passionate about his interests. No stories from their mom though, she never really shared her past stories with them, nor did she share anything. She was always out; focused on work.

Elise glanced at (Name), "Hey, cheer up! You know you're not the only one staying at your grandpas." She says, nudging them lightly with her elbow.

"Really? I have relatives??" (Name) asked, eagerly. Elise simply chuckles then continuing,

"Yes, your cousins Mason and Mabel are arriving today." She said, turning a corner. (Name) sat up slightly at the arcade they passed by but quickly lean back, embarassed but taking mental note of the directions from there to their grandma's home.

"How old are they?" (Name) ask,

"Three younger than you." Elise replied,

"Gross, pre-teens." They joke, Elise laughs as she parks the car in front of a shack, The Mystery Shack more specifically. The two exit the car but (Name) stood by the car door for a minute, taking in the site of the Mystery Shack-Hack?? Looks like the S fell. There were people coming out of the front, some with plastic bags then an old man with a suit, a fez and an eyepatch over his glasses, comes out, waving goodbye to his customers and yelling, "We put the 'fun' in no refunds!"

Elise pulls your luggage to your side, wrapping an arm around you saying, "Welcome to the Shack, dearest."

The suited old man walks up to the two, grinning, "Hey hey hey, kid! Welcome! I'm your Grandpa Stan!", holding his hand out,

(Name) smiled back, shaking his hand. "Nice to meet you Grandpa, 'ma told me a lot about you. I guess you know me already?" They greet him back, Stan's smile dropped slightly as he looked down.
