Mason was a handsome young man, he wore black leather dress shoes that seemed quite expensive, black velvet trousers with very neat creases down the centre of each cuff, a light blue long sleeved shirt hid his broad shoulders and over the top of that was a brand new black waist coat with a dreamy light blue Bolo tie around his neck. He had the sharpest jawline you could imagine, paired with an unforgettable arrogant smirk, his nose was not crooked but curved and his eyes where as blue as the Atlantic ocean. Almost mullet like, his chesnut hair flowed gracfully, revealling a birth mark on his forehead that resembled The Big Dipper. This was the reason for his nickname 'Dipper'.

Mabel was a beautiful yet dangerous looking Girl. She wore light blue, 6inch heels, paired with opaque black tights. Tucked into her black mini skirt was a light blue, long sleeved shirt and just like her brother she wore a black waist coat. Black ribbon surrounded her neck. Similarly, her smirk was just as arrogant as Dipper's was. Blue glitter covered her delicate eyelids which was a contrast from the sharp winged eyeliner that was just above her glistening, ocean like eyes. Identically to her brother her chestnut hair also flowed gracefully, the long hair was held in place by a black headband with a gorgeous, rich blue pin.

Dipper and Mabel weren't very excited about going to Reverse Falls, they were pretty used to their uncle Stan using them to make money, and every year they would do a great job and get praised however they would never get paid for all the 'hard work' they did. This really aggravated Mabel. Dipper wasn't too bothered, he was in it too work out all the secrets Reverse Falls had hidden and where Stan's long lost brother Ford, had hidden his journals. Apparently they had it all; Gnomes, Unicorns, Vampires, Zombies... anything magical.

When Dipper and Mabel arrived in Reverse Falls after the 3 hour limo journey from California, they where exhausted.
"This is peasants work!" Exclaimed Mabel dragging her several suitcases up the concrete path, not even breaking a sweat.
"Stop complaining, we just got here."
Demanded Dipper not showing a grain of emotion. Finally, they managed to transport all their luggage to the magnificent, mysterious, mansion.

Towering over them, the building looked indestructible. From the corner of her eye, Mabel saw their uncle Ford in the top window, just staring at them. Nothing else. Just plain staring. Dipper strode over to the grand entrance with the intent to open the black,metal gate however he could feel the presence of the sinister gargoyles above him. Corroded, the gargoyles where meant to resemble goblins.

"Heya kids!" Greeted Stan. Mabel looked to where Ford had been, however he had vanished. She thought he probably went in to inform Stan of their arrival.
"Hello uncle Stan" replied the twins in synch. Stan was an aged man with grey hair. He wore the same outfit as Dipper however, he had a majestic, long, royal blue cape and instead of a bolo tie he had a silver pentagram necklace. In appearance, Ford looked exactly like his identical twin brother Stan however, he neither had a bolo tie nor a pentagram necklace, but a pendant in the shape of a rich blue, isosceles triangle. Also Ford wore slick glasses with a black frame. Ford was harder to impress out of the two. He didn't believe in the fake magic shows Stan made the kids put on every year, he stated that real magic was much more mesmerising.

"Come on kids, make yourselves at home, we don't have a long time to practice, one week until the first show!" Echoed Stan as he disappeared into the dark, tall corridor. Mabel took the lift to her bedroom which was on the 5th floor of the mansion and next door to Dippers bedroom. Their rooms where identical, a white, celebrity dressing table opposite the window with beautiful light blue curtains, a crystal chandelier hung from the centre of each room, a queen sized bed, bed sheets with a variety of blue shades and the carpet was immaculate and white.

They began to unpack. Mabel's wardrobe was a mix of blue, cyan, turquoise, black and white. Dipper on the other hand, had only light blue and black items. They each had about 60 pairs of shoes, however Mabel only brought half, and Dipper even less. Even though Mabel had more shoes with her, Dipper had more hair products than Mabel. Anything from hairspray and hair gel to curlers and blow dryers, 2 in fact.

After leaving his room, Dipper knocked to see if Mabel was ready.
"Dear sister, lets go." On command, Mabel opened the door. "Of course dear brother." Leaving their doors unlocked, they continued down the floors and made their way to the lounge, in which Ford was waiting for them.
It was about 6pm. "Evening." Ford addressed them without turning to look at them. "Good evening Uncle Ford" synchronised, the twins bowed their heads. "Sit." Testing the twins obedience, Ford asked them to do a practice performance for him to assess. They did as he demanded, knowing very well that he would not be impressed. Dipper made Fords card disappear and reappear but Ford said nothing. "... um, this the part where there's applause"
"Me, applaud you? For doing what! You will only get applause from me when you show me REAL MAGIC!"
"That's not going to happen, it's non-existent." Defending her brother, Mabel began to tremble.

"Don't take out your anger on the kids Ford. It's not their fault that you've become insane." Saving them from Ford's disapproval, Stan walked in with a poster.
