Gravity Heroes

Chapter 51

Gravity Falls

Alexa's House

As Alexa walked up the sidewalk she saw Gregor's car in the driveway. She really didn't want to see him, but knew he would know if she tried get in and out without him him noticing. She figured she might as well head on in.

"I'm home," Alexa called as she walked through the front door. She quickly ran up the stairs and started to get dressed for work. Once that was done she headed back down and saw Gregor waiting for her at the bottom of the stairs.

"And where do you think you are going?", he asked as she came towards him.

"The same thing I always do on Tuesday, I'm heading to work.", she replied as she tried to make her way past him, "And you're gonna make me late for my shift."

"You don't need to go there anymore, I turned in your resignation in this morning. I have also am pulling you out of your school, I will be teaching you here. Both the school and the job are beneath you," Gregor said as he grabbed her arm, stopping her. He continued, "You never know what type of undesirable people you meet in such places."

"Are you talking about Joey?", Alexa asked as she turned on him.

"Among other's," Gregor responded, "I am your cousin and your legal caretaker while your mother is away. You are my responsibility and as long as you live under my roof you will do as I say."

"We'll I have news for you, I'm seventeen and I can make decisions on my own. I don't need you to tell me where I can work or who I can date," she came back as she shot him the same glare that sent the three girls who went after Thompson running with their tails tucked between their legs. Unfortunately it didn't seem to have fazed him.

"GO. TO YOUR. ROOM. NOW!", Gregor demanded.

In a huff Alexa turned and headed back upstairs to her room, slamming the door in the process. Frustrated she picked up her phone and first called her job to tell them she was coming back soon. Next she dialed Thompson.

Yumberjacks

Tambry and Tony were seated at the table talking, He had told her some of his and Francis' life on the run and his discovery of Parkour. She shared her experiences growing up in Gravity Falls and the fun living with a vegetarian mother and brother. All of this was done over two Yumburgers, two orders of fries that they piled together, and an iced tea for him while she drank a Pitt Cola.

"One of these days we'll have to go out for a run together, maybe I can show you a few moves.", Tony said as they were both reaching for some fries and accidentally grabbed each others hand.

"Oops, sorry. Go on," Tambry said as she realized what had happened.

"No, I insist. Ladies first.", Tony replied.

Neither of them had let go of the others hand as a guy in a Letterman's jacket came up to the table. Ignoring Tony the guy looked at Tambry and said, "Hey Tambry, I heard you dumped the grease stain. How would you like to go out with a real man now?"

"Look Sylvester. If you can't tell I'm already out with someone," Tambry said to the jock standing over the two of them. Tony looked at her as he figured out what she was saying.

"Really? I thought you were babysitting," Sylvester said finally looking over at Tony and receiving a mean look. With a sneer of his own he continued, "So is this your little knight in shining armor you wrote about in your blogs? He really doesn't look like much more than an eighties reject, you could do much better. Like me."
