Nearly three months after that first summer, Dipper and Mabel had returned to Gravity Falls. This time, dragging their feet behind their parents. They didn't really enjoy having them around. But they insisted, being that they were family too. It was a battle with them to get dressed as their mother wouldn't stop messing with their hair. Eventually though, they were ready to go as they piled in the car and took the one turn off the twins would forever remember.
The Mystery Shack stood before them in all its rusty glory. It was dolled up with cream streamers, balloons and bows. It was probably the most fanciest wear they've ever seen it in. The S on shack was fixed and propped up right, rather then sitting on the roof. Soos and Melody stood at the door, greeting everyone. He was looking snazzy in his suit while Melody was looking pretty in her short flowery dress.
"Soos!" The twins called out.
He smiled big with his two buck teeth showing. "Dudes!" They ran into his arms as he lifting them off the ground and squeezed them. "So cool you dudes could make it." He put them down.
"Where's everyone at?" Mabel asked.
"Your uncles were together last I saw them. In the living room I believe." Melody replied, handing a card to the next people in line.
"We'll take care of your parents dudes if you want to go see them." Soos added. They nodded as he would escort them to the backyard.
"Hold on, where's Alma at then?" Mabel stopped in her tracks.
"She's upstairs getting ready. I offered to help with her veil when she called." Melody replied. "I'm sure your welcome to join me, if you want."
Mabel's eyes lit up with stars. "Ooh, I want to see her dress. She's probably gorgeous." She had grabbed Dipper's arm tightly and was shaking him.
"Ow. Mabel, you do that, but first – let go of my arm." Dipper pointed to it. Mabel did so, releasing it as he rubbed its ache.
"Sorry." His sister whispered softly before she squealed. "I'm just so excited." She did that thing with curling her lip over and her eyes huge. She would pull her dress skirt up and run off deeper into the shack. Dipper would reluctantly follow, holding his arm up.
Just like Melody said, their Grunkles were in the living room. Their backs were to them when they entered. Stan had glanced behind him, seeing his favorite great nephew and niece really physically standing there. "Kids!" He cried out as they ran into his arms. "I'm so happy to see you two again."
"Us too, Grunkle Stan." Dipper replied. He glanced to his side where Ford stood, looking a bit pale. He was looking rather James Bond in his sharp black suit.
His face morphed from mortified to smiling in a split second. "Dipper. Mabel. I'm glad you could make it." He hugged each of them separately.
"Are you alright, Grunkle Ford?" Dipper asked, after seeing how his expression kept changing.
"He's just nervous." Stan replied. "He always acts off when he's nervous."
"I do not." Ford opposed, his face turning flush.
"Come on, Grunkle Ford. Lighten up. It's your wedding day!" Mabel grinned.
Stan put a firm hand on his shoulder. "She's right, Sixer. Best to suck it up and get through it. Should be the happiest day of your life."
"What happened to your calming exercise?" Dipper quoted him with a cocked brow.
They were right. He needed to calm his nerves before standing there at the alter. Otherwise, something was due to happen. Mean he had a reason to be nervous. The first time always should be. He let out a force sigh before gesturing them out of the room. Stan pushed the twins out of the room with him.
