Fordary - A Stanford Pines x Reader Love Story

Reunion 1.0

"The author of the journals... my brother."

The dark figure emerged from the portal from beyond.  The twins and Soos looked forward in awe at the man, and Mr. Mystery in disbelief.  The author...?  Was Mr.Pines' twin?!  

Despite the shock, Mary crumbled to the ground in despair.  When Mabel hadn't pressed the button, she was frightened of what would happen to the shack and her family.  Her friend Stan, his niece and nephew, even Soos.  She couldn't even imagine what could've happened to her Wendy.

But with her niece as an afterthought, and her knees to the ground, she looked up at the author with tears falling from her poor, old eyes.  

"Finally, after all these long years of waiting, you're actually here!" Stan happily opened his arms to embrace his twin, "brother!"  However, his brother socked him in the jaw as quick as a hare, making Stan growl and grunt in protest.

The author responded, "This was an insanely risky move: restarting the portal! Didn't you read my warnings?!"  His tone was hoarse and deep, the added urgency giving him dimensionality that Mary knew all too well.  She looked to Soos, who had voluntarily passed out, then to her own hands as the older twins hashed it out, which is when ever-the-optimist Mabel interjected.

"Hey, hi. Mabel here. Quick question: WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE?!"  She shouted, confused.  The author looked around the room sheepishly, "Stan, you didn't tell me there were children down here. And some sort of large, hairless gopher?"  "Heh, I get that a lot!"

"And who is thi-"  The author stopped himself before he could finish his sentence.  Mary looked up at him with nothing but relief on her face, while the new addition stared slack-jawed at the woman.  "Mary...?"  His eyes quickly began to swell with tears.  "Stanford..!"  

As if by magic, the two launched themselves at each other and managed not to collide violently.  Both their arms wrapped around each other so tight and radiated bliss at that very moment.

"Wait.  Stanford?"  "But I thought YOUR name was Stanford?"  Dipper and Mabel interjected, pointing to Stan.  "Wait, you took my name?! What have you been doing all these years, you knucklehead?!"  The real Stanford interjected, breaking away for a moment to criticize his brother before being pulled right back in again by Mary.

"And you CANNOT just HUG EACH OTHER WITHOUT ME KNOWING!!!"  Mabel screamed, "Are you two dating?!  Engaged?!" She suddenly gasped, "MARRIED?!" Mary chuckled and flashed the ring on her finger, "you seriously thought I was married to Stanley here?"  She pointed with her eyes to Mr. Mystery while Stanford reached to his collar to pull out a chain necklace with a similar ring attached.  Mary glimpsed at this and quickly teared up again, ruffling her /husbands/ hair.

"No, wait. Wait, wait, wait!  You're telling me that you were married to the author of the journals the whole time and didn't bother to tell me?!  I've been here ALL summer and living these adventures through the Journals and you KNEW the author?!"  Dipper ranted.  With Fords arm around her waist, she simply said, "Pretty much, kid."  Dipper twitched and turned to vomit, "Oooooohhh I think I'm gonna throw up!"  His sister quickly went to help him, but he just continued for a moment.

Ford turned to his brother and urged, "Listen, there'll be time for introductions later. But first, tell me, Lee: are there any security breaches? Does anyone else know about this portal?"  Mr. Mystery nonchalantly turned, "No, just us. Also maybe the entire U.S. government."  Ford's eyes bulged wide, while Mary looked away nervously, "Yeah... Sorry?"  "THE WHAT?!"

Ford simply pinched his brow and used his noggin, "Okay. It's all right. We've got a while before they find this . We just need to lay low and think of a plan."  Mary nodded, pulling away for the time being, "maybe we can fight them all at once somehow?  I know I have an arsenal somewhere."  "Woman, for the LAST time; NOT ALL OF US CAN 'WIELD A HALBIRD!'"  Stan interjected.  

"Well, it looks like we're stuck down here for a while. Who wants to tell us their entire mysterious backstory?"  Mabel interjected once again, with Dippers addition, "And another thing!  Grunkle Stan, no more lies! You owe us some answers: What's the deal with this portal? Why did you keep this a secret?"  "And WHY haven't I seen WEDDING PHOTOS YET?  C'mon dudes, gotta give a guy somethin'!"  Soos responded.

Stan shoo-ed them all away by beginning, "Okay okay okay, I have a lot of explaining to do. It all started... a lifetime ago..."
