Rough Summer (Fight Falls AU)

Head Hunters

"Was it an accident? Or was it...MURDER!?"

Mabel gasped and leaned in closer to the tv. "We will return to ducktective after this commercial break."

Mabel plunged her hand further into her popcorn. "Ducktective is sooo smart."

"Pfffft." Dipper retorted. "It's easier to notice things when your that close to the ground."

"Are you saying you could outdetective ducktective?" Mabel asked incredulously.

"I could outdetective the shit out of ducktective." He responded confidently. Before Mabel could think of a way to test her brother's statement Soos rushed into the room.

"Dudes dudes you'll never guess what I just found!"

"Buried treasure!" The twins responded in unison. The took a moment to laugh at the silliness of what had just happened and then proceeded to follow Soos down the hallway. They came to a portion of the wall not covered in wallpaper with a doorknob sticking out.

Soos placed his hand on the door knob and swung it open dramatically. "Behold!" The light from the hallway barley lit the room causing Dipper to pull two flashlights out if his vest. Soos turned on the flashlight he kept in his toolbelt and the entered the room.

They swung their lights around before finally landing on the main attraction of the room, wax statues.

"This is incredible." Dipper admired. "Lifelike wax statues."

"Their creepy." Mabel said with a shutter. "They all look so dead and hollow inside."

"But we're all too alive." A voice said while grabbing Mabel's shoulders from behind. She quickly freed one of he arms from the grip and drove her elbow into the figure behind her. It let out a pained cry before collapsing.

She shined her flashlight behind her and saw Stan gripping his stomach and rolling on the ground.

"Grunkle Stan are you ok!?" She immidiently felt guilty for having hurt him.

"No. I'm dead. You killed your Grunkle Stan."

Stan picked himself up and switched on the lights. "Ahh the memories."

"Woah dude. How long was there a light switch there?"

Dipper shut off his flashlight and joined Stan and Mabel. "Grunkle Stan what is this place?"

"I used to have a wax museum attraction in the shack, but the money stopped coming so I closed it. Then I forgot about it." Stan looked around as a feeling of nostalgia swept over him.
"Jeez why did I ever wall these beauties off." Stan started pacing around the room to admire different statues.

"Look at these wonders kids. Wax Edgar Allan Poe, wax Sherlock Holmes, and my personal favorite wax John F Kenne-" Stan stopped at the sight of a pool of wax where the statue was meant to be. He looked up and noticed the window was open allowing the sun to melt the statue.

"Oh no no! Who did this!? Wax Lee Harvey Oswald I'm looking at you!"

Dipper leaned over to Soos. "Why would he have a wax Lee Harvey Oswald?"

Mabel approached the pile and looked it over. "Grunkle Stan, if you want I could make you a new wax statue out of this old wax."
