Chapter 2: The Predicament
A/N: The cover is only temporary until I can find a better one. But maybe if you guys find a better looking cover you can just let me know! :3
=========================================
"I'm sorry! It just happened!" Mabel said shaking Dipper. "Where are they? Take me to them." He said. Mabel took his hand and dragged him down to the old hallway that led to the basement. The door was open already. Dipper peered in and gasped. Soos was there, except it was a younger version of him.
"Oh hey dude! Check it out, we're the same age now!" He said. Behind Soos was a 12 year old Grunkle Stan.
"I get a chance at youth again!" He said.
Wendy was sitting on a couch. "This is sooo cool!" She smiled. Dipper did a double take. She was even cuter at 12! "How did this happen!?" He asked.
"This." Mabel showed Dipper a strange gun type object. "I found this on the floor in here and thought it was cool. So I called Soos in here and we were playing around with it when he got zapped. I called Grunkle Stan and Wendy down to check it out, and I demonstrated what happened by zapping them! It was cool until we found out that there's no undo button." Mabel explained.
"So now we're stuck as 12 year-olds forever? Sweet!" Soos fist pumped.
"No not sweet! This is bad for sales! Who's going to run the shack?" Grunkle Stan said.
"You can show people the gun thing. That'll attract business." Wendy suggested.
"No! We can't expose anyone else to this. We need to keep it safe until we figure out how to turn you guys back." Dipper said. "How did you even come across this?" Dipper asked looking at the gun.
"I was just walking down the hall when I heard a clack. Almost like it fell out of no where." Mabel answered. "Fell out of nowhere..." Dipper repeated.
"What if it's from the future?" Wendy said. She inspected it. "It doesn't look like anything I've ever seen."
"A wormhole?" Soos asked.
"This is all too weird." Grunkle Stan said.
"Hey I can say I have a 12 year old uncle now!" Mabel said.
"Suspicious people mean government agents sooo might not wanna say that." Grunkle Stan replied.
"We can just say you're our friend Stan. How about that?" Dipper asked. "Why not." Grunkle Stan replied.
"Here, Mabel why don't you take us to where this thing fell from so we can investigate." Wendy said. "Good idea!" Dipper smiled. Mabel led the crew to a side of the room.
"Around here is where I found it." Mabel said pointing. Dipper inspected the spot.
He looked around and saw something covered with a sheet. A corner of the sheet was pulled back. "What's this?" Dipper asked pulling it off. The gang jumped back in shock a a mirror like thing stood before them. Inside where glass was supposed to be, was a blue black swirling portal. "What the heck is that?" Grunkle Stan asked.
"It's a portal! The gun must have come from it. But where does it go?" Dipper asked. "Let's find out!" Soos said taking a step forward.
"Wait no!" Dipper held him back. "Who's to say it's not dangerous?" He asked.
"Wonder how a portal even got here." Mabel said looking at the vortex.
"Maybe if we go in it we can find a cure for our ages." Wendy said.
"That's not a bad idea but..." Dipper started. Wendy put her hand on his arm. "Come on dude how will we ever know unless we try?" She asked. Dipper froze and looked at her hand.
"W-well I mean... that's right..." He stuttered nervously blushing.
"One of us should test it to see if it's safe." Mabel said.
"You're right. Dipper go for it." Grunkle Stan said.
"What!? Hey 'Stan' you can't be ordering me if you are technically not my Grunkle yet soo..." Dipper answered. "Uhhh Dudes..." Soos started to say nervously.
"What's wrong Soos?" Mabel asked. Dipper faced Mabel and shrugged. Then the two heard an all too familiar voice behind them.
"Well well, if it isn't Pine Tree and Shooting Star. And it looks like there are new friends here too!"
The twins turned around. "Bill!?" Mabel gasped.
"Bill." Dipper answered darkly.
