You are not alone

Family?

It was the beginning of a new day. The morning sun was shining brightly. The twins got up. But you weren't there. Last nights dream has really shaken you up. You needed some time alone to recoil. Laying on the highest branch of a pine tree you stare at the far south. Your mind far away. Burried deep in thoughts and worries. Stan calls the twins for breakfast. Mable rushes down happily. Dipper steps out of the cabin and looks for you. Semi worried. But he didn't understand why? Walking around in the woods he notices your long black cloak fluttering in the wind. He looks up and sees you. "Hey (Y/n) breakfast is ready. Wanna come and join us?" He asked with a softness in his tone. You look down at him and smile weakly "Yea.. sure" Jumping off the tree you join him to the walk back to the cabin. Dipper rubs the back of his neck as he speaks up after long awkward silence " So.. how are you feeling?" You look up at him "Well.. I feel much better then last nigh.. so thanks.." Dipper nods softly " Want to talk about it?" You shake your head " No thanks.. it's kind off personal" Dipper nods once more, sadly this time. Feeling like you didn't fully trust him yet. But whose to blame. You met this kid like one day ago. The two of you enter the Mystery shack. Sitting in the dining room, Mable binges on some pancakes which Stan had made. "What took you two so long?" Stan asks . The two sit down. Dipper looks at the news paper and notices something " Hey guys look" He points at a section of the newspaper which shows that if they take a picture of the supernatural they can receive a large amount of cash. " Do we have any pictures of the gnomes ?" He asks/ Mable shakes her head. "Nope only memories... AND! this beard hair! " You chuckle " You seriously kept that? Gross" You say in a playful manor as both you and Dipper begin to chuckle in sync. Mable observes as her eyes suddenly sparkle. Assuming much? Anyways as Stan serves the pancakes he pulls out some brochures . They were all about fishing. The kids widen their eyes. Stan smiles proudly " We are going fishing tomorrow. I will teach you two some of my greatest fishing skills!" You stare at your pancake and realize. Tomorrow is family day. The day you spend with family you don't see very often. Of course you weren't included. You wasn't a part of this family. Besides... You don't even know who your family is. Not letting the twins see your depressive state you much down on the pancakes and stare out the window. The twins grow in pain and agony " Do we have to Grunkle Stan?" Dipper exclaims. "Fishing trips are usually so boring" Mable pouts. Stan stands up : hurry up i got our things already prepared. You get up "Have fun you three" You give them the brightest smile you could and left the cabin once more. The twins look at each other in a worry and then look up at Stan. Stan sighs " fine... she can come too" The twins smile happily and rush after you. " Come on (Y/n) let's go!" Mable says happily. Slightly confused you simply agree. And so you, Dipper, Mable and Soos go to the lake. There were many families there already. Some were barbecuing. Some were already fishing. Such as Wendi's family.. in a ..barbaric way. Any how , a large crowd formed somewhere around the lake. You and Dipper approach the crowd to see what's the big fuss. The crowd of people were quite pushy. Looking back you notice that Dipper wasn't able to push himself in the crowd. You extend your arm and grab his hand. He blushes softly and looks at you. "Follow me" You say kindly and lead him through the sea of people. An old hill billy homeless looking guy was panicking. " I swear y'all! a giant sea creature was coming after me! Almost ate me!" The old man exclaimed. The people rolled their eyes and threw pebbles at him " Go home old man McGucket" His son said and sprayed him with water. "But I dun diddly swear its the Gobblewonker! It wrecked mah boat!" The cops begin to make fun off him. Soos arrives on his boat or mini ship " You three wanna go to Scuddlebutt island? " Dipper smirks " Anyways Grunkle Stan change of Plans! we are going with Soos to Scuddlebutt island soooo SEE YA!" The tree of you quickly jump in Soos both as you soon leave the harbor. You sit on a chair and sun bathe for a bit. Closing your eyes as a soft summer breeze caresses your skin. You smile and put your cloak away for a while. Dipper starts to explain his plan" Ok so I got 17 cameras! Since usually with these legendary creatures its hard to get them on tape. But this way for sure we will get them right (Y/n) ... " His eyes widen as you sit up and look at him with those gorgeous (E/c) eyes and long lashes. " Yes you are right captain Dipper" He begins to laugh awkwardly as he blushes. And so Soos sails out to the Island. You lean on the boats railing and watch the place around you soon getting misty. Dipper stand beside you "S-So.. Got your camera?" He asks. You nod "All 4 of them Captain" He nods " I'm sure we are gonna take a great picture and get that money and then split it in 4" You look up at him and smile " I don't need that money" His eyes widened " But.." You shake your head " Materialistic things can be nice at times when gifted to show gratefulness or make a certain person happy... But I'm not into it. It has no value to me.. So split it between the three of you ok? " Dipper nods slowly. Amazed by your kindness.

Meanwhile at the saver part of the lake. Grunkle Stan was bothering some families on family day. Upset that the kids had ditched him for adventure he tries to "get" another family , but to no avail all the families think that hes either weird or simply a bother.

Back at the S.S. Cool dude boat. The ship carefully arrives at the Scuddlebutt island. They step out at the eerie place and explore. "Be very careful guys and prepare those cameras." They all nod as they walk. Suddenly a terrifying roar could be heard "That must be the Gobblewonker" You say. Dipper nods "prepare your cameras... at 3! 1...2....3... AAAAH!" You all run towards the sound. Could that be.. in the distance ... The Gobblewonker? Nope its just a broke down ship. You guys sigh in disappointment. "What was that sound then?" Mable ask. Turning your head a quarter you see a beaver playing with a chainsaw " Seriously... How does that make sense... " As the beaver bites the chainsaw the same eerie roar could be heard. Walking back to the dock Dipper sighs in disappointment "How will we explain this to Grunkle Stan... we ditched him..for nothing" Suddenly the island begins to shake. Dipper falls into the water but luckily Soos pulls him out quickly. "What was that?" He asks in a panic. You place your hand on the ground to feel the ground waves. " We have to go..now" Suddenly the 'real' Gobble wonker appears in all it's mighty glory. Dipper pulls out his camera and is about to take a picture. When suddenly the giant monster sways it's tail trying to hit Dipper. "Look out!" You yell and jump on him. Causing you both to fall to the ground but at least not get hit by a giant heavy tail. You quickly get off of Dipper and help him up " Let's get out of here.. Like right now" He nods and the four of you begin to run as quickly as you guys can back to the ship. Sailing away the monster chases after creating all sorts of chaos. No where to go you guys sail at a waterfall. " Ok this is the end of us dudes" Soos says in a panic. Dipper searches through the journal as you do the same with yours, " Aha! Mable head forward! There might be a cave there!" You exclaim quite unsure. "Might be?" She says in fear as you guys scream in unison. Entering the existing cave. You guys pass through safely but the Gobblewonker gets stuck. Dippers eyes sparkle as he grabs his second to last camera and begins taking great pictures of the monster. The monster tries to set itself free. Flailing its head around , causing a boulder to fly on its head. Electrical sparks form on the head. Both you and Dipper slightly get suspicious of the monster and head towards it. "Guys what are you doing?! Mable asks in worry. You knock on the monster . It makes a cluncking sound. " Hm.. it seems hollow from the inside..." Dipper climbs on the Monsters back. " Guys it has a door" Opening it slowly it reveals old man McGucket trying whatever to set the monster free. "It's you?!" Dipper shouts in shock. " Oh Flapdoodle... you guys found me out.." McGucket says. "But.. why?" You ask. " Well you see.. all i wanted was attention.. It's hard now a days to relate to you young fling flangers... Heck my own son doesn't want to spend quality time with me.. So I thought creating a giant monster of destruction will sure get him to notice me!" You felt pitty for the old man. It was family day after all and here he was all alone... Just like you. The twins look at eachother. Feeling ashamed for abandoning their Gruncle. " Hey we still got one camera left.." Mable says. Dipper nods " Let's head back to Grunkle Stan" The 4 of you nod and head back to Soos's damaged boat and sail back to the dock towards Stan. He slowly sails in the lake. Sighing to himself and being a grumpy fella. "Grunkle Stan!" Dipper shouts " I-is there still room for four more people?" He asks weakly. Grunkle Stan growls " Why do you guys suddenly want to hang out with an old geyser like me?" "We are sorry" Mable says" Grunkle Stan sighs " hop on in" The 4 happily join Stan in his small boat. "Bet you 5 dollars can't tie your hook with your eyes closed" You say playfully. Grunkle Stan smirks" I accept" Mable joins in " I bet you another 5 dollars that you can't do all that while i loudly scream!" "Heh I like your spirit kids" Stan chuckles. Dipper begins to take happy family photos of the all of you. After a long time you finally felt like you had a family again...
