A/N: Hello everyone and welcome to my Gravity Falls fic that I've had bouncing around in my head for far too long. Hope you enjoy! Reviews are always appreciated!

The bus pulled into the Piedmont Bus Station right on schedule. Waddles hopped out of his seat as the bus stopped and gently nuzzled Mabel's face.

"Huh? Wha- Oh. Dipper," she said, shaking his shoulder. "Wake up. We're here." She patted Waddles on the head. "Good pig."

The sun was just starting to set and while it was still hot, there was a distinct hint of fall in the air. The bus driver bid them a fond farewell, glad to get rid of the pig, and smiled as he saw the two young kids greet their parents.

"Mom! Dad!" The twins dropped their bags and ran to tackle their parents in hugs. While of course they missed Gravity Falls, it was really good to see their parents again.

"Oof! Hey kids!" their dad said. He wore thick framed glasses and had messy brown hair and a bright smile. "How was the bus ride?"

"Long," Dipper said.

"Boring," Mabel answered.

8.

Their parents laughed, then looked down in surprise as a pig oinked at them.

"Mom, Dad, meet Waddles! I won him at a carnival!"

"She went through a lot of trouble to get him," Dipper mentioned.

"We both did. That was a crazy day." She turned back to her parents. "So can I keep him? Please, please, please! I promise to take care of him!"

"Well…" their dad started.

"We'll talk more when we get home. He's very cute though," their mom replied, kneeling down to scratch him under the chin. She had long, curly, light brown hair and blue eyes. "And well behaved if he came on the bus with you."

"He's really good. And so cute and cuddly!" Mabel cried and hugged him tightly.

"Well let's get your bags in the car and then I want to hear all about your summer," their dad stated.

"So you said you won him at a carnival?" their dad asked as they drove away from the bus station.

"Yeah! Grunkle Stan set it up so more people would come to the Mystery Shack-"

"And spend more money," Dipper added.

"That sounds like Stan," their dad agreed. "How was Stan? Did you guys get along alright?"

6.

"Yeah, it was kinda weird the first week, but he eventually warmed up to us."

"And now he loves us!" Mabel said in a sing song voice. "Did you guys get my letters? Did I tell you guys about the dinosaurs?"

"Oh yeah, and how Stan punched one in the face!" Dipper added.

5.

Their mom turned around in her seat to look at them. "You said something about him punching zombies too."

4.

They pulled up to a stoplight and waited for a break in traffic to turn left.

"Yeah, he punched a lot of stuff. But I'm the one who got to punch a unicorn!"

3.

The light turned yellow.

"And I got to punch a giant robot!"

2.

"Psh. More like the creepy ten year old controlling the giant robot."

"Sounds like you two had quite the adventure this summer," their dad commented offhandedly as he made the left turn.

1.

The other driver sped up, thinking he could make the light.

There was a terrible scream of metal on metal as the cars collided, throwing the Pines' vehicle some thirty feet back the way they had come, rolling it once, twice, three times. Inside the screams were just as loud as everything hurt and everything spiraled out of control and then mercifully turned black.

A/N: Dun, dun, dun! Thanks for reading. More to come!
