Welp…I’ve done it. I’ve taken this post I’ve made and made it a reality.

I’ll still try to do “The future is coming for us all”. So expect both of these.

So for a recap, this AU starts off like this: Mabel and Dipper were separated at birth after their parents died when they were babies. Neither remember each other, and were placed in the custody of their Grunkles, Mabel to Stan and Dipper to Ford. Due to similar circumstances of canon, Ford and Stan do not talk to each other, and live on separate sides of the US. Due to the both of them having the same idea to send their respective twin to a summer camp, Dipper and Mabel meet, and the plotting ensues.

Enjoy!

~Glass-shard beach New Jersey, Mystery Shack~

“Ok sport. You got everything now? All your sweaters are packed? You got your stuffed Waddles to keep you company? Toothbrush? Pjs? Extra socks?”

“Grunkle Stan I’ll be fine!” Mabel giggled at his concern.

“Yea but you’re gonna be gone for a long time! I’m allowed to be concerned and miss you!” Stan countered.

“It’s only a couple weeks! And you’ll have Soos to keep you company! Plus you’ll be busy with the Mystery shack! So two weeks will go as fast as a snadger can!”

Stan huffed a little before lifting the twelve year old into a strong hug.

“You be as good as you can. Remember, if you get into a fight make sure you use your right hook! That’s your good one!” He reminded as he ruffled her hair a bit.

“I know, I know!” She giggled.

Stan smiled as he slowly put her down before turning to Soos, who had just finished putting the suitcases into the trunk.

“All good to go?”

“As good as it ever can be Mr. Pines!” Soos said with a humorous salute.

“Well then you two get going. Can’t be late for her first day at camp can we?”

“Thank you again for letting me go Grunkle Stan!” Mabel said as she hugged his legs.

Stan smiled lightly as he pat her head, “Well how can I say no to my favorite great niece? If you need me call ok? It’s only a few hour drive! I’ll drive overnight if I need to!” Stan told her.

With a nod Mabel hugged him tighter, and after a few more goodbyes and hugs Soos and Mabel were off to Maine.

“So hambone, you siked for camp?” Soos asked after a few miles down the road.



“Am I ever?! I’m hoping I get to make more friends there! And since it’s co-ed, maybe even meet a few cute boys,” she gushed.



“So how long do ya wanna wait until we start the car games?” he asked.



“We can start now!”



“Alright! I spyyyyy-”



~~~~~

~Gravity Falls, Oregon~

“Ok Dipper. So you’ve got your pajamas-”



“Check.”



“Swimsuit?”



“Check.”



“Camera?”



“Check.”



As the two went down the list Dipper happily moved around everything in his suitcase. If he said he wasn’t excited to be going to summer camp for a couple weeks he would be lying. Travelling was always fun, and he got to see new things. Although, in reality, nothing compared to Gravity falls as the most interesting place there was. Not that many people knew that. He and his Great Uncle Ford spent most of their lives solving the great mysteries of the town, as far as Dipper could remember.

“Alright. Looks like you’ve got everything. Remember if you need me you know my number right?” Ford asked.



“Yup! Both you and Professor McGucket!” Dipper said as he gestured to the old man beside him.



“Don’t worry your pretty little head about it! I’ll get Dipper to the airport safe and sound!” McGucket gleamed as he playfully ruffled Dipper’s hat.



Ford smiled lightly before kneeling to Dipper’s height and giving him a hug.

“Be safe. Please let me know how you’re doing from time to time, and I’ll see you in a couple weeks.”



“Love ya Grunkle Ford!” Dipper gleamed.



“And I love you too you,” Ford reciprocated before turning to McGucket, “He’s all yours buddy. Thanks again for taking him.”



“No problem at all! You know you guys are like a second family to me! I’m always happy to help!”



“Well you two should get going. Don’t wanna miss your flight now do we?” Asked Ford.



“Race you to the car McGucket!” shouted Dipper before running out the door.



“Now wait here sonny! I am not as young as I used to be!” Fiddleford shouted after him.



Ford chuckled as he watched his great nephew run as fast as his little legs could take him to the car. He was going to miss him.

part 1

For the record yes Stan does live in Jersey, as to why it will be explained in the future chapters, when Stan and Ford meet again. But he does not get kicked out of Jersey(like in cannon) due to different circumstances, so he does still live there, scamming the people of Glass Shard Beach instead of Gravity Falls.
