'Meeting my brother in the Mystery Shack. Right.'

//

It didn't take long for you to find the Mystery Shack. It was the afternoon by then. The place had giant letters on its roof to spell out its name, but the S was hanging off slightly and looked recently fixed.

You shrugged and walked inside, dusting yourself off and already letting the weird statue encounter slip from your mind. There was a mental note to go back and dissect it later, but for now, your attention was elsewhere. A tall girl with a colourful sweater was upside down on a couch, her legs on the top of the seat. A boy that looked to be the same age as her, sat on the same couch, reading a large book.

You concluded that they were siblings, or just somewhat related and seemed to be around 16, 17.

A girl with red-orange hair had her legs crossed on the desk next to a cash register and she seemed to be closer to your age. She had her hat over her face as if trying to sleep.

When you walked in, only the siblings on the couch looked over at you. The girl at the cash register muttered, "Hi, welcome," from under her hat.

You nodded in her direction but your eyes wandered over to the teenagers, which seemed to be a little bit of a mistake. By looking over, the girl's face lit up and her eyes were already on you. Social interaction was difficult for you, someone who had always invested her time on her work.

"My apologies if I'm interrupting something, but my brother told me to wait for him here. I'm not here to purchase," you spoke more professionally, unsure how to approach discussion with a 16 year old that wasn't your brother.

The girl smiled as she hopped off the couch and ran over to you, tugging at your sleeve, "Hi stranger, I'm Mabel!" She then gestured to the boy, "And that's my brother Dipper, although, don't mind him. He always has his nose stuck in a book." 

She was awfully forward, but her optimism made you smile crookedly, "Well, nice to meet you two. I'm Y/N." You couldn't help but stiffen at her touch, but she paid no mind and she smiled on.

Mabel grinned, showing off her straight white teeth. "Come on, have a seat!"

Quiet minutes flew by and you found yourself lost in your thoughts. They drifted to what you were going to do after you had a talk with your brother. It had been a few years after all. Would you just go back to your plans? What about him - is he going to stay here in Gravity Falls? Or go back home with mum and dad?
