Mabel's POV
Grunkle Stan looked at his "brother" in disbelief. "Stanley, is it really you?"
"What do you think, Stanford?"
For a few seconds he just stared. Then he ran up to his brother and hugged him. "I thought I lost you forever," he said between sobs. Stanley pushed Stan away. "Do you have any idea what you've just done?" Grunkle Stan stared at Stanley stubbornly. "I just got my twin brother back," he replied. Stanley angrily put his hands in the air. "No, you just kick-started the apocalypse! I thought I told you not to go after me!" Stanford guiltily looked at the ground. "You would've done the same for me," he murmured. Stanley pointed at me and Dipper. "Who are these children?" Stan shrugged. "They're my niece and nephew, your grandchildren." I shook my hands in front of me. "Wait, wait, wait, hold up. You're our grandpa?" Dipper's eyes widened. "The author of the journals is my grandfather?!" I put my hand on Dipper's arm. He hastily pulled away. I frowned. Was he mad at me? "Okay, I want an explanation, like, now." Stanford nervously looked at the bunker. "I'll explain, but first we need to get out of here. This room's about to collapse, and we can't go outside, the Government Agents are probably all over the place."
"Then where do we go?" I asked. Grunkle Stan looked at Stanley. "From here we can get to one of the bunkers in the woods. Be careful, though, there's a monster on the loose," Stanley said uncomfortably. I perked up. "You mean the Shapeshifter? Dipper, Wendy, Soos, and I took care of him already. Right, bro-bro?" Dipper sulkily nodded, still avoiding making eye contact with any of us. Stan frowned. "Why didn't you tell me about it? Hey, speaking of which, where is Soos?" We heard a moan in the distance and we all froze. I looked over, then rolled my eyes. "It's just Soos!" I announced. He waved at us. "Hey dudes, I'm awake! I just had the craziest dream that Stan's brother came through this weird portal thing and I fainted!" Soos looked around. "That wasn't a dream, was it?" We all hastily shook our heads. Soos looked disappointed. "Oh," he murmured. Grunkle Stan looked to Stanley. "So how exactly do we get to that bunker?" Stanley rubbed his chin. "Hm, it's coming back to me..." He walked over to the nearly destroyed portal. "Sirious..." He touched one of the symbols on the portal and it lit up. "Capella..." He touched another one, and again it lit up. "And Antgares." The last symbol he touched lit up, and made everyone's head turn to a space of stone hidden in the wall that seemed to disappear. I stumbled back a step. "Woah..." We all ran to the doorway, led by Stanley and Dipper in the back. The ceiling rumbled dangerously. "Come on, guys!" I waved at everyone. A piece of cement fell off the ceiling. "Dipper, watch out!" He looked up, and started to move out of the way. Not fast enough. The rock hit Dipper on his head, and he fell down. "Dipper!" I rushed to his limp body laying on the ground. "I- I think he blacked out!" I looked up. "Grunkle Stan! Help! It's Dipper!"
