It's the middle of the night at the Pines' rental house. Everyone is sleeping soundly except Ford. He's having a nightmare.

Filbrick: I'm not impressed

Ford turns in his sleep. His dream shows Filbrick kicking Stanley out of the house.

Filbrick: And until you make a fortune, you're not welcome in this household!

Ford whimpers. The dream cuts to Bill Cipher.

Bill Cipher: Stanford Filbrick Pines, my old pal!

Ford wakes up in a cold sweat. He grimaces and gets out of bed.

Ford (mumbled to himself): I hate that name-

Ford randomly picks up a journal that reads "Stanford Filbrick Pines." He sighs, but then smiles. He takes a pen and crosses out Filbrick. In it's place, he writes something invisible to the audience.

Ford: But I can change it!

*Theme song plays*

It's early morning at the Pines' house. Dipper is asleep. Mabel smirks and pushes her brother off the bed.

Mabel: Morning!

Dipper groans and rubs his head.

Dipper: Mabel, it's-

Dipper looks at the clock.

Dipper: Well, it's already 10:00 a.m. but I'm exhausted. Can't I sleep for five more minutes?

Mabel: Nope! We're back in Gravity Falls! We can't waste any time at all! I was actually gonna wake you up hours ago, but Grunkle Ford told me not to!

Dipper groaned

Dipper: Fine, I'm getting up.

Stan (off screen): REALLY?

Dipper and Mabel looked at each other, confused. They raced out of the room, towards the kitchen where their grunkles were.

Stan: Looks like someone finally decided to get up-

Dipper: I was tired, okay?

Dipper laughed and went to get himself some orange juice.

Mabel: What was the yelling about?

Stan: Poindexter here is changing his name!

Dipper and Mabel: You are?

Mabel: Aw, but 'Grunkle Ford' has a nice ring to it. I'm sure whatever name you choose well be just as amazing!

Ford: My middle name, Stanley!

Dipper: What are you changing it to?

Ford smiles both thoughtfully and mischievously.

Ford: You'll have to find out!

Stanley: Probably to some nerd name like Issac Newton

Dipper: or Nikola Tesla, or Carl Sagan

Ford: I was actually thinking about something more down to Earth-

Dipper: What do you think Mabel?

Mabel: I think, I have plans today!

Dipper sips on his orange juice.

Dipper: We've been back for less than 24 hours and you already have plans?

Mabel: I actually made plans yesterday. Candy and Grenda want to show me around, things that changed and stuff.
