You snuck around the corner, peeking into the living room with camera in hand. You wanted a picture of Ford but every time you'd say "Smile!" he's just cover his face with his large hands or a book. So now your plan was to take a picture while he was distracted. You looked at him sitting against the wall in the living room, Stanley in the chair beside him and Dipper and Mable taking up the couch. He looked up as Stanley started fidgeting and mumbling in his sleep. This was your golden opportunity. You clicked the button. A bright light flashed and Ford looked towards you. The flash was on.

You stepped out from behind the wall and stuck out your tongue at him as you waved the picture a bit so it would show up faster. You looked at the picture as it came into view. "Look at that Ford. I even got your good side." You laughed.

He laughed too. "Every side is my good side." He made his stupid Princess Unatainabelle face at you to make you laugh. You both laughed until it hurt.

Surprisingly it only woke up Dipper who had fallen asleep first. This was obvious by the word 'Goober' on his forehead in pink sparkle pen in Mable's handwriting. "Why are you two up? It's like midnight!"

You shook your head. "1-6-18-1-9-4 14-15-20, 4-9-16-16-5-18. It's almost 3... in the afternoon. I'm leaving in an hour."

AFRAID NOT DIPPER

Dipper blinked slowly his brain not yet registering what you'd said. Then he suddenly jumped up and ran up the stairs. He came back down right away without changing out of his blue pajamas. He had a book in his hands. "Here." He thrust the book into your hands then ran back upstairs.

You looked at Ford, who was just as confused as you, then to the book in your hand. It said 'Love life' on the front. You opened the cover. There was a note written on the inside of the cover. It said:

Dear Great Aunt [Y/N],

Mable and I spent half the night making this for you. The other half we spent eating leftover cake and watching bad horror movies. This is a book full of every picture taken yesterday at your wedding and a few from days before. There is also a bunch of empty pages for you to fill and share with us some time. We hope you like this wedding gift even if it did come a day late.

Love,

Your great niece and nephew, Mable and Dipper Pines.

You sat beside Stanford and turned to the page. The first picture was of Ford carrying you through the door. On the same page was a picture of you carrying him to the living room. There was a caption in Mable's handwriting. It was written in blue sparkle pen. 'Super Grauntie!'

You flipped through the pages smiling and pausing every now and then to laugh at a cute sparkle-penned in caption. The pictures were not just from when you were there either. There was a picture of Dipper and Mable dressed up as peanut butter and jelly. In another the two were pending to barf on each other using silly string. In another they were on a small fishing boat with Soos and Stanley. The last picture was Stanley, Soos, Dipper, Mable, and Wendy all standing together in a small forest clearing. You put the picture you'd just taken of Ford and put it in the book.

You smiled at Ford beside you. He put his arm around your shoulder and pulltd you closer. You snuggled into his shoulder. He was wearing his coat and a red turtle neck. Same outfit as always. "Ford, I only really just noticed but, do you always wear the same turtle neck?"

"Not always. Sometimes I wear my slightly darker one." He leaned his head against yours. "But I wear this one more because you like it."

"Because I like it?" You wrapped your arms around his torso so that you were hugging him. "You're too sweet... but it's all I see you in. Do you have any clothes other than red turtle-necks?"

"Of course I do." He looked at the clock on the opposite wall. "You'd better finish packing if you want to catch that bus."

You sighed and let go of him. You sat up. "You're right. I do have to finish packing." You stood up and looked at Stanley and Mable. "Do you think you'll be able to keep them out of too much trouble?"

"Of course I can." He handed you the picture book. "I'm a genius." He stood up and kissed your forehead. "I'll visit you on Wednesday."

"Alright." You kissed his lips. They tasted like pen ink. "You were chewing on your pens again weren't you?"

He laughed. "Nothing gets past you huh. Yeah. I had one break in my mouth earlier."

You laughed and kissed him again. "I love you." You started to leave the room.

"I love you too." His voice echoed down the hall way.

You smiled.

You smiled
