What If…

Hi there! This is my first ever published fanfiction, so please be kind! I've set myself a challenge to write at least a hundred words a day (that doesn't sound much, I know, but because of illness I haven't been able to write AT ALL over the last 10 months, and this is just the start of the recovery process). The following drabbles and oneshots are going to be a series of "what if's"; small changes and possible AU scenarios within the Gravity Falls episodes that may or may not be expanded at a much later date. Plot bunnies and critical advice are appreciated!

And now, without further ado:

What if Stan didn't close the door properly?

Man, the shack was creepy at night. Dipper was starting to regret coming downstairs, but he had woken up thirsty, and knew he wouldn't be able to get back to sleep unless he had a drink. The kitchen was littered with shadows, but he'd only been here a few days and he still wasn't sure where the light switch was. He could just make out the shape of the sink and knew that the glasses he and Mabel had washed up after dinner must still be next to it, so he inched his way through the dark.

Mission successful, Dipper started to make his way back upstairs, but a creak from the gift shop drew his attention. "Grunkle Stan?" The Gift Shop was empty, but there was a light coming from the side of the vending machine. That was weird. Walking over to it, Dipper saw that it wasn't against the wall properly, and behind it was… a secret doorway? Entering it, Dipper followed the stairs downwards. "Grunkle Stan?"

There you have it! I know it's technically longer than a drabble, and it's a bit too short to be a one shot. I'm not sure what it is. I think I'll call it Clementine. Tell me what you think! But only if you want to!

Live long and prosper!
