[Ford POV]
When I stepped through the portal the basement was almost the exact same but.. then there was Stanley. He greeted me with open arms but I shoved him away. "Do you have any idea how dangerous this was?!" I yelled. If Bill got out he'd destroy the town, the world, or my family. "Ow! What hell Poindexter?!" He grumbled. "What, you think I'd just FORGET what you did 30 years ago?!" I yelled, my anger had a way of getting to me at the worst of times. "How's about a thanks for getting you back?!" Stanley crosses his arms. "Damnit Stanley!" I raised my fist to punch him. "Stanley? I thought your name was Stanford" A sweet child voice ask. I look at her then back at Stanley "You took MY name?!" I was about to shove him again but the girl, it was like those big dark doe eyes had hypnotized me. I sighed "You didn't tell me you let children down here. Does anyone else know about the portal?" I question, getting my journal and adding to it. "Just us. And maybe the entire US government" he mumbled. I wanted to kick his teeth in but I refrained. "Does anyone have a plan?" I look about the kids and noticed the girl, a short sweaty looking boy, and a larger male. "Wait wait wait.. you're.. you're the author of the journals!" The boy shrieks, nearly throwing up. "You've read my journals?" I ask, looking at him. I nodded "I haven't just read them, I've LIVED them! I have so many questions and theories.." He tries to catch his breath. I chuckled. "There isn't time, for now we need to deal with the agents" I reminded them. He pulled something out of his bag. "Could this help?" He asked innocently. I felt my skin crawl. The memory gun.. Fiddleford. I can't let them catch me off guard though. I gave him a reassuring nod. "How the hell did you get your hands on one of these?" I asked, connecting it to some wires. "I found it during an adventure" He smiles. I look at Stanley and he just shrugged. "If I amply the frequency.. I can use it on the agents through speakers. Three.. two. And.. cover your ears" I set it and pressed the button. The frequency passed though and I covered my ears as well as the others. Once it was over I quickly headed upstairs. The agents now looked around confused.
"Greetings men, I've been sent with the latest Intel from Washington. The gravity anomalies was actually caused by an unreported meteor shower, an embarrassment for your entire department really, not to worry though this case is now in my hands. Now, I'll need all of your.. floppy disk and uh.. 8 tracks" Ford guessed. Agent Powers riffled through his pocket "Uhh, all the data is contained on this drive" He hands a flashdrive to Ford. "Well what're you waiting for, a kiss on the cheek? Get out of here!" He yelled. Powers nodded and signalled his men to pack up and just like that they headed off. Good thing Ford has such a believable voice.
Ford gave the drive to the outside goat, then the rest of them came upstairs. "Ford that was incredible!" Mabel smiles. "Um, thank you" he smiled. Stanley rolled his eyes "They're your family, Poindexter, Shermie's grandkids" Stan explains. "A great niece and nephew?" He begins to smile again as he looks at Mabel and Dipper with a more hopeful glint in his eyes. "Sooo.. can I ask you a few billion questions about Gravity falls Falls?" Dipper smiles, excitedly taking out a pen and notepad. "Now now, there's time for all this later, me and Ford got a lot to talk about so why don't ya hit the hay?" Stanley waves them off. "What? But it's the author!" Dipper squeals. "I said hit the hay" Stanley grumbled, quartering them inside. Mabel took Dipper upstairs after that and Soos went to go talk to Wendy.
Stanley and Ford soon headed inside. "You look like dad" I chuckled. "Oh, God don't say that" Stanley laughed nervously. "Stanley can I ask you something" I could feel a pit in my stomach forming. He nodded. "When the summer's over and the kids go home I want my house back, and my name back, alright? This Mystery Shack stuff is a mockery of my research" I sighed. I knew Stanley would be a little angry but I try to stay calm. "But, I saved you.." Stanley mumbled. "After costing me my dream school and sending me in the portal in the first place!" I yelled, starting to lose my temper. I could see Stanley stirring a bit before finally coming back with something, which he's never done before "IT WAS AS ACCIDENT" He yelled. I could see my reflection in his eyes. "I don't know what causes me to do things or why I get these insane impulses sometimes but I've been trying to control it and you should've known about it better than anyone!" He continued. "What.. impulses? Stanley I thought you were just.." I trailed off. "A dumb screw up? Yeah well so did everyone else" He scoffs. Maybe it's not what I was going to say but, I do feel at fault for thinking it sometimes. "Listen, if you don't care that's fine but just stay away from the kids, I don't want them in danger!" He finally stops. I'd never seen Stanley so upset but I felt inclined to agree. He headed upstairs and I could feel guil wash over me. Maybe I should cut Stanley a break, I mean I almost ended the world because of the thing with Bill. I'm home now but far from free. I need to protect the family, write my wrongs, and let go of my pride. Never in a million years would I have thought.. maybe I was wrong.
And Stanley wouldn't have been the first I've hurt either. If only I knew where Fiddleford was now. Maybe he worked it out with his wife? I really hope the best for him, because I'd never forgive someone like me after that either.
Despite my intelligence I suppose I have a lot to learn.
