disclaimer: I own nothing! The AU belongs to Tybay and gravity belongs to Alex. Hope you N'joy

Mabel POV.

We had been living with our parents. Great life and then POOF all was gone. It was May 3, 1921 where our parents got shot by some mob. They had gone out to a walk in Piedmont, California where we lived. They died and the police didn't find the identity of the murderer. Of course that was a week ago and my heart was healing slowly.

Dipper. My younger brother. By five minutes but still. Since mom and dad died he has been my comfort. We were on our way to go to Gravity Falls with our great uncle stan, someone we had never seen before in our life. He was a family member that our parents trusted the most.

"Hey mable, what do you think great uncle stan is like." Dipper asked

" I guess , he must be a nice guy for taking us in and for having the trust of our parents." I answered sadly

"C'mon Mable, you are never this grim. I know it's hard to move in with a stranger, especially since our parents death, but you have to trust me. Everything will be fine"

"Dipper, I trust you. It's just that...(*sigh*) I- I can't belive that our parents are dead and that we are going to oregon to live with some great uncle. I-" I started sobbing softly, hiding myself in my plain pink sweater.

"Mabel" dipper started softly as he tried to get my face out of my sweater "I can't belive that myself either, but this is what our new reality and I know it's hard. But together we will get through we have each other an that's all that matters. here to cheer you up, when we get to Gravity Falls we will grab something colorful and filled with sprinkles to eat, alright. Everything will be fine "

"Dipper, you are one amazing brother. The best even. I love you and I don't know what I do without you."

" I love you too Mabel Awkward sibling hug"

"Awkward sibling hug"

Just as were hugging, we both simultaneously said " pat, pat"

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

I was deeply asleep by the time we arrived to Gravity Falls.

"Mabel, wake up if you want to still go get an Ice cream sundae covered in sprinkles"

" Ice cream...(*yawn*) sundae sounds good"

"Okay, but we better hurry it is getting late and i don't want to arrive at our great uncle's while he is already asleep"

We went to grab An Ice cream Sundae at some place called Greasy's Diner.

The lady that attended us was so nice yet so...off. One of her eyes was shut. The rest of the people there had that same vibe .

"Well what are you too kids doing out here so late" the nice lady asked

"We are wanted too get a treat before we went with our relative. Say do you know where we can find the Mystery Shack, we are moving in with our great uncle, he owns the Mystery shack. We are kind of lost" Dipper answered

"Oh well. HEY EVERYONE WE HAVE NEW PEOPLE IN TOWN"the lady yelled throughout the diner as everyone clapped and cheered "Welcome to Gravity falls, I am Susan Simons but every one here just calls me Lazy Susan. The Mystery Shack is on 618 Gopher rd"

"Well thank you Lazy Susan, My name is Mabel and that is my brother Dipper. Pleased to meet you ALL!" I answered cheerily

"Pleased to meet you young lads, but you better hurry. It's dangerous to be out so late."

"Alright and thank you for the Ice cream" I said as we were leaving "They all seem like great people. Maybe Gravity falls isn't so bad after all, Dipper"

" I agree" Answered Dipper" we gotta go now it's super late" Dipper commented as he checked his watch

8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

"Well looks like great uncle Stan isn't as rich as mom and dad always bragged about." Dipper said as they arrived.

The house had a big old sign that said "THE MYSTERY SHACK". It looked like an old cabin with a big need of remodeling. I was nervous and my mood was going down again.

" Well, here goes nothing" Dipper knocked

The door opened and there stood an old man dressed in a formal wear and with a fake eye patch on his forehead.

" So you must be Mable and Dipper Pines huh. I'm Stan your great uncle come on in. It's cold out there"

Once we stepped in he gave us a small tour.

"That is the kitchen, that upstairs is where you will sleep at, you don't mind sharing rooms, no okay, and that over there is the stage where you will have to perform. Say, do you guys sing or dance? I am in need of a good entertainment."

Mom and Dad had always told us that the Mystery Shack was a bar that was always filled with people, They sometimes played poker there or they would bet on the rat races they had every Monday, football games,baseball games, and basically every competition.

"We can sing and dance together" Dipper answered for me

"Great, you will both have an act and...is your sister okay, she is too quiet. Does she talk?"

"Yeah I can talk, I'm just not in the mood to talk, great uncle stan" I answered back

"Don't call me that it's too long just call me... I don't know ...Grunkle . ...yeah Grunkle stan , it's shorter "

I giggled "Okay...Grunkle Stan" this guy seems to be alright. I started to get less tense.

"So...grunkle Stan," Dipper started "Why is it so deserted outside"

"Kid, I wouldn't be so curious around here. The biggest gangsters live and direct their gangs from here. It's dangerous out there, especially during the night."

"Well we knew the dangerous part, but Gangsters?, In this quiet little town?"

"Well it stays quiet to not get hurt by the Gangsters"

"Do some of those Gangsters control people from California ?" Dipper asked

"kiddo, how in the almighty universe am I supposed to know!"

"Grunkle," I said " Our parents got killed by Somone's gang in California"

"Oh...I'm sorry kids." grunkle said with sympathy

"It's fine grunkle stan, I was just curious" Dipper said. "Could we please go rest it's been a long day for both of us and it's late"

" Go ahead , but you guys start tomorrow. You will have to put on an act for the night, alright.

" Alright, thank you grunkle stan for taking us in. We would be in some orphanage if it wasn't for you" I couldn't help but give him a hug

"Hey, you are part of my family and I wouldn't leave you guys behind"

He took us to our room and we got ready to sleep.

"Hey Dipping sauce, he seems like a good guy huh. We are going to be fine with him. And the town doesn't seem so bad besides the Gangsters part, but if as long as we don't get in their way we will be alright "

"Yeah I guess, everything will be good for now. Just don't call me Dipping sauce. " Dipper answered

" Dipping sauce you know what song we could do for tomorrow?"

" Mabel what did I just say. And NO we are NOT doing that horrifing song!"

"Whatever, Dipping Sauce. I was just joking about the song. Good night"

"Good night Mabel"

I shut my eyelids and feel in asleep, dreaming of what might happen the next day.

I hope you liked it so far please review, belive it or not they do help.
