„a Sixer, please."

welcome (back) in Gravity Falls

POV Dipper.

Mabel and I took a deep breath of the fresh air after we stepped out of the bus.
Ahhh, finally after three long years we are back again to spend our holidays in Gravity Falls.
I wonder what adventures awaits us this time, as long as it doesn't end up like the Weirdamagedon-
I thought with a small shiver that goes down my spine.

„Kids!", my thoughts got luckily interrupted by the voice of our great uncle Stan.
Mabel and I turned to his cheerful voice and ran towards him, embracing him in a big hug.
„Grunkel Stan!"
The elder man nearly felt over by our weight, but he chuckled.

„My god, you two grew fast in the last few years. Hopefully you kids still fit in your beds.", Stan said ruffing our hair with a smile.
„Dipper even over growth me.", Mabel added with a playful pout while I smiled proudly, remembering our little fight we had in the last summer we spent here. Mabel really necked me , because she was two centimetres taller than me.
But now I'm ten centimetres taller than her. In my eyes it was karmas work.

„Where is Grunkel Ford?", I noticed that he wasn't here to pick us up from the bus station.
Mabel also looked confused around.

„He stayed at the Shack, because we have a rather newly employe at the shop who also kinda lives with us, so he looks after him.", Stan explained scratching his neck.
Mabel and I exchanged a confused stare too one another.

„I wouldn't have expected that you would let live some employe in the shack.", she said with a confused tone and I nodded to her statement.
After all, Stan is a grumpy old man who doesn't it the type of guy who would let employees sleep under his (Fords) roof.
He wouldn't even let Soos live there, even through Soos is like a son to Stan.

„It has its reasons why we decided to let him live with us. But don't worry kids, he is a funny guy.", Stan said. „But now let's head to the Shack, Ford is already waiting to see you kids again.", Stan picked up Mabel's suitcase and together we head to our summer home.

„Grunkel Stan who is this employee?", Mabel asked after some time.
Stan took some seconds until he answered her question, seems like he thought about what to say as an answer, I noticed and raised an eyebrow a little.
„His name is...William. He lives in the Shack since nearly a year. He is sometimes annoying, but he has great humour so I don't mind it that much.", he answered.
„I can't wait to meet this William.", Mabel said with an excited smile.

After more passing minutes we reached the Mystery Shack.
Everything looks the same since the last time we were here.
We went inside and head towards the kitchen together where Ford leaned on a counter taking a sip from his coffee.
As he saw us he nearly choked on it.
After a quick session of coughing he spread his arms and stepped towards us with a smile.

„Dipper! Mabel! It's so good to see my little adventurers again!", he smiled as he embraced us.
„It's so good to see you too Grunkel Ford!", my sister said happily and we returned his embrace.

Stan brought or suitcases up to the artic while we sat down with Ford on the kitchen table.
„And kids? How is it to be back?", he asked with a smile.
„It's great! I can't wait to see my friends again!"
„And I can't wait to go on new adventures."
Mabel and I told him excited.
He chuckles.
„I wouldn't have thought that you kids considered to go on mystery research again. I thought the Weirdamagedon would have frightened you too much for it.", he said.

„Well, I mean Bill is gone and won't ever come back. And the change of having an mystery to stop as worse as Bill is highly unlikely, am I right?", I said with a chuckle and Mabel nodded in agreement.

Ford pressed his lips hard together for a short moment like he would have something to confess, but tried to press his mouth shut to not say anything. A bit out of character of him, I thought.
But he quickly started to talk again.
„Well, you two are lucky because I have some new cases going on about new mysteries. And I'm sure you two can help me slowing them.", he smiled.
Mabel and I directly agreed to Fords offer in excitement.
Finally I can hang out with Ford again! He was still my personal idol.

Stan came down to the kitchen and also joined us on the table.
„And you two also don't need to work in the shop this summer since we have the new employee.", he said as he sat down.

Oh wow, I did not expect that from him. Usually Stan would do everything for cheap employees.

„Can we finally meet this William??", Mabel asked curious.
By the name William Ford looked shortly to Stan and rolled his eyes. Stan just shrugged his shoulders.
I tilted my head in slight confusion.

POV Ford.

Stan really had no better idea than to use Bills first full name as he fake name. I just could roll my eyes.
That's why I told him before to let me interdrouce Bill, now William, to the kids.
I saw how Dipper tilted his head confused.
That boy got a good gut feeling. He always feels when something is up even at the slightest hints. We really needed to be careful so I decided that I will handle this situation now.

„I will fetch William, so you kids can meet him.", I said as I stood up and head to the store, knowing that Bill is there cleaning up.

The former-demon didn't noticed me and shrieked as I tapped his shoulder from behind.
„Sheesh Sixer, don't sneak up behind me like that!" the young looking male smirked.
„Dipper and Mabel have arrived. Act like it's the first time you meet them.", I told him in a cold tone.
„And also your "fake" name is now William in front of them.", I added.
„You two really chose to use my first name as my undercover name? How creative.", he said sarcastically.
„It was Stans idea not mine. And now get moving and don't let the kids know. Do. Not. Mess. Up.", I countered sternly and turned around not gifting him more of my attention, but I knew he followed right behind me.

POV Dipper.

Ford appeared in the doorway and coughed in his fist for attention.
„I present to you: William!", he said with a setted on smile and taking a step to the side to present the young male.

He had tanned skin, yellow blondish top hair with  dark brown, nearly black, under hair.
He wore black shorts and the green mystery shack questionmark shirt that Soos also always wore.

But the most impressing part of the boy was his face.
He had one light blue eye that seemed to pore into one's soul if you looked to long into it.
His other eye was hidden under his yellow bangs, but I could see that there was also a scar across the one side of his face.

William raised his voice.
„Nice to meat you two. Your Grunkels told me a lot of stories of you.", he smiles politely towards us.

I could feel it in my piss that Mabel is interested in that boy already. Ugh I just hope it won't end like last summer where she desperately wanted a boyfriend.

Mabel stood up and went towards William with a big smile and lightly flushed cheeks.
„Hi! I'm Mabel!", she says as they both shook hands.
„And I'm Dipper.", I said as I always got up to them.

„As Stan probably already told you, is William living with us since around a year. I'm sure you three will get along well.", Ford said as he puts his hand on Williams shoulder and squeezed it rather harshly as I noticed it on Williams face, but decided not to say anything.

The rest of the evening went smoothly well. We all at dinner together, including William. Talked and got to get to know each other more and then the night arrived already.

Mabel and I are up in our room reviewing the day. „This William is really a nice guy.", she said as that light pink flush appears on her cheeks again.
I sighed. „Mabel, please let's not repeat your crazy boyfriend phase again. It was exhausting the last time. And especially not with William he basically lives with us.", I told her.
„Hey! I'm not love crazy! We just met him!" she said with a pout.
„your other "boyfriends" were also basically strangers for yo-", I could end my sentence because a pillow thrown by Mabel hit my face.

„Oh! You shouldn't have done that", I said with a smirk and drew a pillow back at her.
„Hey!", she said but also smirked, throwing the next pillow.

After our pillow war we fell asleep from exhaustion.

—————————————————————————
I know everything is confusing now, but it will make sense through out the story.
Just give it time to involve

Anyways I hope you liked it even though it wasn't that impressive, but it's just the start
