"Sebastian, I can't breathe! SEBASTIAN! The babies!"
That woke up Sebastian immediately.
"What?!" He shouted. Flights! He needed a flight right now!
"Calm down, Shermie!" Seb demanded as Shermie panicked.
"SHERMAN, GO HELP MY DAUGHTER IT IS NOT TIME FOR THIS!" Seb winced when his brother's in law roared loudly on the other side.
"Please! Come!" Shermie begged, he quickly gave him the direction of his house and the hospital before hanging up. Seb growled and pulled his hair. There had to be a cheap flight to California!
'So...the kid's kids, uh? Why are you so interested on them? They are just tiny humans'
Seb ignored Bill2 as he changed clothes and opened his duffle bag to throw a few pair of clothes inside. "Those tiny humans are my nephews, dorito. I don't expect you to understand" Seb mumbled and then both his uncovered eyes widened.
Liam...Shit.
'You are a fucking asshole' Bill2 snapped.
"Geesh...Sorry" Seb apologized sincerely. "I liked him too, I am sorry"
While he got ready, 6am hit so that meant he could go buy a plane ticket at the station, then go to Portland to actually go to the airport…
He locked up every part of the house. He put wood planks on the windows, he locked every door which had like 5 locks each one, and closed the front door after giving his only close neighbor, Dan, a call, telling him he was living for a few days because of a family emergency. He threw his huge key chain in his dufflebag and ran to the travel agency in the middle of town.
The office was just opening and the man smiled at him. "Good morning, kind of early don't you think?"
"Quick! I need to get to California, tell me there's a flight!"
"For when?" The man asked calmly as he turned on the computer.
"Um, now?!"
The man typed down and smiled. "Well, you are in luck, young sir! There's one at midday, is that ok?"
"Perfect" Seb paid, this time with his own money, and took a bus to the airport. Just when he was getting out of town, he gasped and remembered what happened when he came at the beginning of the year. His back! What if he got out and the pain returned?!
He braced himself when he saw the boring sign of Gravity Falls, but nothing happened.
"YES!" He screamed, slightly startling the driver.
"Sorry!" He apologized when a smile and put a hand over his shoulder. He was free! The pain actually stop! Gravity Falls actually erased his carved zodiac!
It would have been cool if it erased the tattoo version too…
'No! It is awesome, don't even think about it!'
He looked out of the window with a sad smile. Carla had had her baby a month and a half ago, but he couldn't go to New York to meet him...She understood, and at least his Mom did go, and both of them promised to send pictures of the kid his mom claimed was identical to Carla but with Stan's eyes and hair color. He was named Dillon Pines, his name meant ray of hope which was something their family really needed right now…
'Aaww, so sentimental. Stop, it disgusts me'
Seb rolled his eyes. Meanwhile, his twin nephews didn't have a name yet, or that's what he knew from what Sherman told him.
He arrived to the airport and impatiently waited for his plane. The first time he had travelled by plane he had been a 17yr old boy and going on a journey that was almost 12 hours long and with a hyperactive kid who didn't want to sit still…
Seb inhaled and exhaled deeply to keep the tears from coming. Jack was in a better place now…
And he had been extremely scared. Now he wasn't a boy, he was man, and he wasn't afraid! Sebastian Pines was feared but he didn't fear! He checked in and went to wait for his plane in his designed waiting area. He started sketching some dresses he was planning to do and got so distracted he barely heard his stomach growling at him, reminding him he didn't have breakfast. Right…But before he could even think in a place to eat, they started calling all the passengers for his flight and he moaned loudly.
This flight was only 3 hours, so he wasn't receiving lunch…The young man sighed. He wanted to eat!
He got to the Oakland International Airport at 3:30pm with a pout and a growling stomach. Now the car trip to Piedmont was 1hr, but if he took a taxi it would be around 20 or 30 minutes…
His nephews better be the most adorable babies in the entire world because he was about to spend a lot of money to go meet them!
At 4:01pm, Sebastian was paying the taxi with pain and looking at the huge hospital's entrance. Shermie called him in the morning, so he must be still waiting or waiting. He doubted he would enter alone…
Seb approached the counter and was about to ask about Shermie and her girlfriend when he realized he didn't know her last name. However, he didn't have to ask, because he saw his brother sitting on chair, waiting for him.
"Sebas!" The teen exclaimed and stood up to run and hug his older brother. "You finally came!"
"Hi, kid" Seb smiled and hugged his brother tightly. "How are you? Nervous?"
"Man, I almost passed out when Abigail started shouting in the morning! I thought something was wrong! I was really scared" The teen pouted and Seb ruffled his hair.
"Where is your wifey, Sherms?" Seb grinned mockingly and the boy nudged him in the stomach. "She-She is in the room now…I didn't want to enter until you came, luckily for me her mom said it was fine…"
"Then what are we waiting for, let's go meet those kiddos" Seb smiled.
They walked past the recepcionist who quickly stopped them in their tracks. "Wait! Where are you going?"
"We are in room 201, Abigail" Shermie explained the woman.
"Oohh!" The woman nodded. "Alright, are you the father, sir?" She looked at Sebastian, who burst into laughter at Shermie's red face.
"Nah, I'm the cool uncle. He is" He nodded in Shermie's direction and putting a hand on his shoulder, they started walking in the room's direction. The teen started shivering like a leaf when the door approached. He was terribly scared, but his brother squeezed his shoulder gently. His wife was inside that room with the twins, HIS twins…
"Are you ready to meet the kiddos?"
"No...Let's do it" Shermie nodded and his older brother opened the door.
The girl was laying on the bed and opened her eyes when she heard the door opening. She smiled widely, still under the effects of the drugs and the painkillers. The surgery scar wasn't hurting her right now but she was kind of delirious. Her mom was next to her, stroking her hair and murmuring comforting words.
Shermie smiled at her and she grinned back, looking down at the bundle of pink she was holding close to her chest. "Look at them, Shermie" She slurred with a happy smile.
Shermie looked at Seb and then back at his girlfriend before approaching her, standing next to her to look at the newborn.
Abigail revealed the face of the baby girl sleeping soundly on her arms and the boy's eyes welled up with tears. He passed the heavy lump in his throat and let out a silent sob.
"She's...She's beautiful..." He whimpered and grabbed her too small gloved hand.
"We are parents, Sherman...We had babies..." She giggled and her mom chuckled.
"Yes, you did, princess"
Seb saw his brother walking toward the plastic crib with the baby boy and followed him.
"Can-Can I hold him?" Shermie asked his in-laws shakily.
"That's your son, boy" Abigail's dad grumbled. "You better start getting used to doing it"
"Seb? I-I don't know-" Shermie started and Seb understood.
Seb picked up his small infant nephew, his little head covered in a blue baby hat, and giggled. Damn, the taxi was more than worth it…They were so beautiful!
'No they aren't. Ew. Human pups'
"Hey, little guy..." He cooed and the baby narrowed his eyes, as if suspicious of the person holding him, he didn't cry though. "I am your Uncle Sebastian, baby…Hi…" Seb cooed. "I'm going to hand you over to your Dad first, alright? Please, don't cry"
Shermie, shaking with fear, sat down on the couch and received his son.
"Seb, I will drop him!" He cried, staring terrified at the baby who looked at him cutely.
"Calm down, kid. You are doing fine" Seb rolled his eye. "Just hold his head a bit-yeah, exactly like that"
The teen stared at the child in awe. Seb didn't blame him. Shermie and Abigail were children themselves...
"Hey, baby...I-I am Shermie...I am your Dad..." He stuttered with the words. Dad...Wow. His friends (the real ones, the ones who supported him during this and not the traitors and assholes who mock him and left him by himself) promised they would come over to meet their niblings, they didn't care if they skipped school, but Shermie knew they were sooo going to bother him with the Dad title…
His tears finally streamed down and he giggled. "S-Seb! This is my baby!" He exclaimed. After this months of harsh waiting...
Reality finally hit him. The kids were here and he was holding one of them...
Seb smiled. "Yeah, he is"
A nurse opened the door slowly and came in, smiling at the young parents. "Hello, princess" She said warmly. "It's time to feed the babies"
Abigail's eyes welled up with tears and she shook her head. "A-Again?! S-So fast?!" She whimpered.
"They need to eat a lot, sweetie" She explained. "Come on, just like we have been doing"
Abigail started crying and quickly passed the baby to her mom. She covered her chest as she sobbed. "No! It feels weird! And it hurts! They bite me!" The poor girl cried. She was also embarassed. She didn't want to do it! She knew it was natural but she couldn't do it! And everyone was expecting so much of her! Why did they go to that party! Why?!
Seb looked down at his awkward brother, who wasn't really going to be much help for the girl unless causing her stress was considered helping. "Hey, Abi. Would you feel better feeding the babies if we leave?" He wanted his sister in law to feed the kids, but she wouldn't do it if it felt bad.
"I think you know you need to do it, but geesh, everyone here is kind of embarassing right?"
Manipulating powers in action!
The girl sniffed and nodded and everyone in the room older than a day old looked at him with surprise.
"So how about I take Shermie out of here, he can be a pain in the ass, right? And you can have all the privacy you want with your babies and the nurse's help"
The girl nodded, wiping her tears. "Can-Can you go out with my dad too?" She asked shyly and blushing at the prospect of having her dad there.
"Deal" Seb smiled. "You heard the lady, gentlemen! Out! Hey! Do you wanna eat? I haven't eaten since I woke up!"
Shermie, the man whose name Seb could never remember and him, went to the hospital's cafeteria for Seb to buy something to eat. Finally! Food!
"How did you know she needed us to leave?" The man asked his son-in-law's brother softly.
"Oh, I know lots of things!" Seb munched on his food happily. "And I am good at reading people!" The young man shrugged and swallowed his food. "Besides, common sense I guess. I wouldn't like to be watched either in her position. That is such an intimate and personal Mom and Baby moment...Some moms don't care, mine told me she didn't, but these two-" Seb hit his brother's head gently. "Are just idiot kids themselves. Added pressure to doing it"
The man was surprised by the younger man's response. "You are quite young yourself and yet you speak as if you were older, wiser"
"Sebastian is just a grandpa trapped in a 25 yr old virgin" Shermie snorted and Seb hit his head hard.
"Ouch! That hurt!"
"Haha!" Seb grinned. "Kid, I'm not a virgin. Not that you can't tell... I didn't get her pregnant the first night" He winked, but Shermie couldn't really tell with just one eye.
"Please stop talking" the man begged, covering his face and started thinking in different things to avoid thinking about his daughter and this boy...Too late!
"Sorry sir" The Pines brothers apologized.
"Did you study, Sebastian?" The man tried diverting the conversation somewhere else.
Seb smiled. "I did. I studied fashion, textile design and clothes cut and confection when I was living in Pennsilvania"
"So...you are a tailor"
Shermie snorted.
"Nice way of taking out the magic in the title, sir" Seb pouted and the older man chuckled a bit.
"Yes, I am, but I am also a designer. I live in Oregon at the moment and I am building a place to sell my designs there" Partial lie.
The man nodded. "You should move to New York, kid. I tell you as a businessman that you would have more chances to be recognized there than in Oregon"
"I like the town I am at the moment, it has its own charm" Seb grinned before taking a huge bite of his sandwich.
They talked a bit more about the teens and the newborns, how everything was going to work from now, the sleepless nights Shermie and Abigail will have to endure, the diapers, the tantrums…
"That's a lot…" The teenage boy pouted and leaned against his older brother's shoulder. "I'm tired already and it hasn't even started yet"
Seb rolled his eyes and ruffled his brother's hair.
They waited out for little more before returning to the room so Shermie could see the newborns more than 5 minutes. While Shermie watched his kids as if in a trance, Seb was bonding with his young sister-in-law, who was reading the second book of a series Seb had seen around the town a lot. It was about a magician kid or something. It sounded mildly interesting, but he couldn't make himself read it. Everything was fake! Gravity Falls was full or real magical creature and he had real magic!
"You really should read it, Sebastian" The girl giggled at Seb's pout. "Everyone is talking about these books!"
"Well, I am not everyone" Seb shrugged "Besides, they are just books, kid. Their popularity won't last, just like Sweet Dreams series or Sweet Valley High"
"What?"
"Exactly" Seb smiled.
"Um, what does the baby have in his forehead?" Shermie suddenly asked, fatherly instincts kicking in and worrying immediately about his son's health.
Seb walked toward his brother and tilted his head to the side. Uh, Shermie was right, the baby had something in his forehead…
"Oh, the doctor said it is just a birthmark" Abigail reassured. She had been worried herself, but it was apparently safe.
"It looks like those connect the dots puzzles" The young dad laughed and Seb hit him in the back of his head, but that didn't erase the smile off his face. He didn't care about his baby's birthmark, it made him look cuter. "Uncle Kevin has a lightning-like birthmark, remember? Who decided it looked like lightning?" Shermie asked.
"Well…If I remember correctly, it was mom or Uncle Dominic, they were the youngest"
Shermie looked at his distracted wife. "Abi, Abi!" When she turned around, he grinned. "We need to decide what his birthmark looks like, I think it is a family thing to have birthmarks shaped like something!"
Abigail sighed tiredly. "You two decide, I'm reading, man"
Shermie stuck his tongue at her and then looked at the baby, ignoring his older brother's laughter.
They were kids, still kids…
"Um…It-It looks like…Like the Big Dipper don't you think?"
Sebastian's body shook violently as memories flashed behind his eyes, getting stored and saved, but he was unable to make the connection.
"Yeah, a tiny bit…" He said finally, agreeing with the teen. "Hey, did you tell Mom about the babies?"
"Of course I did! She said she would be arriving tomorrow though" Shermie this time turned to look at the baby girl sleeping next to her twin and stroked her soft round cheek softly.
"Do you have names already?" Seb asked and Shermie rolled his eyes, knowing what was coming.
"I already decided his name will be Mason" Abigail said dreamily.
'That's a stupid name' Bill2 snapped and Seb blushed when he realized he was thinking the same.
"She has insisted in that for months!" Shermie grimaced. "I want the girl to at least have a nice name"
"When you give birth, you get to change his name" The girl crossed her arms and Shermie huffed exasperated.
"I can't do that, Abigail!"
"Then his name will be Mason!" She grinned satisfied. "Come on They need to have unique and special names! I don't want them to have the same names as everyone else when they start school"
"It's…a little early to start thinking about that…" The teenage boy mumbled low enough that the girl didn't hear him and turned to look at her book again. Seb did though and he covered his mouth to stifle his laughter. Oh, these kids didn't know what they have signed up to…
As if feeling they were talking about him, the baby boy, apparently Mason now, started crying, showing them his teethless mouth.
Sebas and Abigail's mom were the only adults in the room, and when Mason's cries woke up his sister, they shared a look as the teens panicked.
"Maybe he needs a change, Shermie. Go ahead" Sebastian crossed his arms with an amused smirk as Shermie opened the onesie of the newborn.
"Seb? Help" He pleaded, knowing the baby needed a change but he was physically unable to do it.
"Ah, ah! You are the dad, kid. You will do it for two years now, so?" He raised an eyebrow. "What are you waiting for? Abi can't do it, and his sister is also crying"
"Diapers are in the bag we brought, sweetie" Abigail's mother stiffed a giggle. She knew she will need to help the teens the first weeks, but it was kind of amusing to watch him panic.
"They-They don't need to eat again, no?" Abigail pouted.
Shermie groaned loudly as he pulled out two diapers from the bag they brought from the house and Sebastian couldn't hold his laughter anymore.
"Ok, ok, let me help you or my poor niblings will cry all night"
-.-
When night hit, as Abigail was only allowed to be accompanied by one person, her father took the two Pines to his house. Shermie gave Sebas a tour through his in-laws' house and showed him the room the twin's will have when they were a bit bigger.
"Abi's mother allowed me to share room with her so we can both take care of the kids at night, it wouldn't be right to have one baby in one room, and the other in another" Shermie explained. "You can take my former room"
"Are you nuts? I'm not sleeping alone in your in-law's house, it is too weird!" Seb hissed. "We are having a sleepover! Like when we were younger, how does that sound?"
Shermie smiled and after some minutes changing clothes and getting ready, Shermie was throwing a pillow to his older brother.
"Sherman, sleep because we will go early in the morning to see my daughter" Abi's father announced knocking on the door.
"Yes, sir" Both brothers said unison and then burst into laughter.
The poor man sighed when he heard the giggles from the other side of the door. His in-law was just a child, his poor grand-babies…
"Wow, the bed is huge!" Seb laughed before throwing himself on the bed before Shermie climbed in much slower. Sharing a bed with any of his male friends would have been incredibly awkward and embarassing, but Seb was his brother so there wasn't a problem.
"Abi's parents have money"
Both Pines looked at the roof in thought.
"Is that why you became her boyfriend?" Seb asked his baby brother curiously and sighed in relief when he let out an undignified squawk.
"No, of course not...My school was full of dumb girls who only liked dumb football players. I liked Abi because she is really intelligent but just like me was tired of all the rules and wanted to experiment stuff with our friends...Neither of us expected to experiment be parents as well" Shermie joked.
"Huh, I feel you" Seb replied in a quiet voice and a smile. "Rules suck, that's why I like living in Gravity Falls, I can be myself there and do everything my way"
The teen sighed and looked at his brother. "How can you do it, though? Leaving in the exact place were the Stans died..."
"Eh...It's not easy" Seb looked at him too, but they couldn't see each other. Shermie could see his glowing yellow eye though. The boy had never feared it, now it wasn't any different.
"But I do it for them" To bring them back, was unsaid.
Shermie looked in direction of the window and fell silent. Sebastian closed his eyes and about to fall asleep when he heard his brother's voice.
"Sebas..."
"Hm?"
"Where you really in prison in Colombia?"
Seb yawned. "Yeah…And I did break out…I already explained it…" He mumbled and turned around to be more comfortable.
"I know, but I didn't quite believe it" The boy mumbled. "What did you do to be there? You stole something right? I don't blame you, you wouldn't have done it if you didn't need it…" He trailed off.
"Seb?"
Sebastian groaned into his pillow. He wanted to sleep! "Yes?"
Shermie smiled and looked at the ceiling. "How do you think they will look like when they are older?"
Apparently, the teen couldn't sleep and wouldn't let his older brother do it. "I don't know…!" Seb moaned. "Cute?"
"Hell yes!" The boy grinned excitedly. "Maybe they will like karate like me! I can teach them! I am black belt, you know? Or you-you can teach them how to draw super nice! And-And I will teach them to ride a bicyle like you guys taught me…" The boy frowned and gently shook his older brother shoulder. "Seb?"
'For circle's sake, just shut up kid!'
"What?! What have you got against the concept of a good night sleep?! Eh?" Sebastian glared and Shermie flinched a bit.
"I'm scared..." The boy's lip quivered. "Do you think I'll be a good father? What if I'm like Filbrick?" Shermie asked scared.
Seb's glare softened and he laughed tiredly at the mere suggestion. "Kid, you couldn't be like him even if you tried…" He turned around again to look at him, and saw his baby brother with a sad expression.
"You are dumb, but you are good, kid…I *yawn* I know you will do everything in your power to make those kids happy…Now, sleep, you won't get much of it soon" He trapped him and pulled him closer to himself, hugging him so he would shut up and let him sleep.
"Thanks for being with me, Seb..." Shermie curled up against his brother' chest and he immediately relaxed. Suddenly he was 6 again and he was curled just like this, next to his big brother after a nightmare or during a storm. He didn't know how much he had missed Seb until now.
-.-
"OH MY GOD, THEY ARE SO CUTE!" Kari squealed at the twins who stared at her with a confused look in their young faces. Seb and Shermie were sitting down on the couch inside Abi's room and they were holding the babies as Abi rested.
"Mom, you will wake up Abigail" Seb rolled his eyes but kissed his mother in the cheek to welcome her.
"May I? Please, I want to hold one of my grand-babies!" The black-haired woman pleaded and Seb handed her the baby girl he was holding slowly. He wanted Shermie to hold Mason as long as possible. He needed to get used to the idea.
"Hello, sweetie…" She cooed and Seb's smile grew. Mom held them like that when they were babies…
"I always wanted a daughter…" Kari said dreamily and the Pines brothers shared a look.
"Thank you, mom, we are literally right here" Shermie rolled his eyes, but Kari didn't even hear him, too concentrated admiring her youngest son's baby. That idiot who barely cleaned up his room made a baby!
"She is so pretty, baby" Kari smiled at Sherman.
While Kari rocked the baby girl in her arms, the twins' mom woke up and smiled tiredly at her mother in-law. "Hello, Kari…"
"Hello, sweetie. You have beautiful kids"
"Ma, Mason has a birthmark in his forehead" Seb commented. "It reminds me of Uncle Kevin's birthmark"
Kari handed the teen on the bed her baby and went to sit down next to Shermie who was still looking at his son. The boy was barely a day old and he seemed to try to look around the room with curiosity.
"Oh, you are right!" Kari nodded and gently touched the boy's forehead. "Looks like the Big Dipper"
"You see?! I told you!" Shermie grinned and stuck his tongue at his older brother.
"What's Mason's sister name?" Kari asked Abigail, who was cooing at her baby.
"Um…We haven't decided yet…" She bit her lip. "But isn't Mason a beautiful name?" Abigail said excitedly.
"No" Both male Pines said at unison.
"I think it is pretty unique and special, it suits him" She giggled as her sons groaned. "Maybe you choose your daughter's name, sweetie" Kari looked at her younger son.
"It has to start with M as well…" Shermie hummed. "Matilde!"
"Ugh, no!" Sebas hit him in the head laughing. "That's an old woman's name!"
"Mildred" Shermie looked up with his eyes wide, as if it was a divine revelation.
"Kari, no! Don't let Shermie choose the name!" Abigail cried horrified from her bed.
Everyone laughed softly at that.
-.—
Seb stayed in Piedmont for a few more days until his sister in-law was released from the hospital. They went back home, and both of them were standing in front of the crib, watching the twins falling asleep.
The four adults, the couple's parents and Seb, stared at them with an amused smile.
"You know, they won't die if you stop staring at them" He commented.
'Hope they choke with their saliva or milk and die'
STOP! NO!
"I read babies can turn around in their sleep and then stay with their face against the pillow and die" Abigail said nervously as she adjusted the blanket over the twins.
"They can whAt?!" Shermie looked at her with a horrified expression.
The days in the hospital where they received help from the nurses was gone, now the job of feeding, changing and burping was all on their own. It was their first day at home, and so far, the twins didn't seem too troublesome.
The little girl, whose temporary name was Mary because Abigail wanted the perfect name for her, opened her eyes feeling uncomfortable with her tummy hurting, and started crying. Mason immediately opened his brown eyes and cried, scared for his twin.
"No, no, no, don't cry, please" Abigail picked up Mary and started rocking her softly while Shermie tried to comfort Mason, but neither seemed to calm down. "Mom?" She looked up at the adults.
"Maybe she's hungry?" Shermie suggested. "I can get the baby bottle if they are hungry"
As they had two babies to deal with, Abigail's parents and Kari thought it would be better if both of them worked on feeding them so the nurse had taught the new parents how to store their milk in baby bottles.
Abigail nodded at the boy and Shermie gave a crying Mason to his brother before running away to the kitchen.
'AAhhh! Make him stop!'
"Come on, baby, your dad is bringing your food…Just be a bit patient, ok?" He started rocking the small child. Abigail had turned around and with her mom's help, she managed to get Mary to eat and calm down. It hurt Seb to see his little nephew suffering.
Shermie came back with the bottle, told his mom it was at the right temperature when she asked, and then took his son in his arms. "Alright...Are you hungry, buddy? Your sister was, I bet you are too" He struggled to get Mason to grab the nipple of the bottle, but he sighed in relief when the baby started suckling.
"Great!" He said softly and looked at his mom and brother with a proud grin. Abigail shared the same proud smile when she saw her daughter was full and falling asleep.
"Easy" They said at the same time and everyone present rolled their eyes.
Eventually, when the evening approached, Seb had to say bye to his family to go to the airport. Shermie hugged him tightly as they said bye. The twins were sleeping so everyone was quiet.
"Will you visit us soon?"
"I-I don't know, kid…" Seb bit his lip. He spend almost a week here. He loved meeting his niblings, but he had to go back, he had a lot of work back in Gravity Falls, no one else was going to save his brothers. "I'll try, I have a lot of work"
Seb hugged his mom one last time and casted the sleeping twins a loving look before going to the door accompanied by Abi and Shermie. Before Seb got in the taxi, he kissed them good bye and grinned.
"You know…I like Mabel for the girl" He saluted and got inside the taxi, smiling at the excited face of Abigail.
Mabel and Mason Pines…The names were awfully familiar but they felt…right for the twins. He couldn't wait to see how they will look like as children…
-.-
After a year of staying in Gravity Falls, and after many nights woken up by a crying and nervous Sherman who didn't know what was wrong with his infants at 3 in the morning, Seb got quite known around the town. Anyone who saw him would wave at him with a smile.
Seb just grinned back and waved because he was a gentleman, but the people he cared about in this town could be counted with his five-fingered hand. One of them was this little red-haired toddler who apparently didn't get the message and took it as a game to sneak inside his house.
"Wendy, can you bring me that box over there?" He asked her and she obeyed with a smile. However, after returning her to his father the first 10 times, he just gave up and used her as an intern. She liked to see how he made the clothes, and didn't mind helping him if he gave her chocolate at the end of the day.
"Why are you making those clothes?" She asked curiously, she had grown up a lot since he met her, and her speech was much more fluent "It's small" She pointed out.
"It's for my niblings" He told her, ruffling her hair. "They will turn one year old soon and I want them to have a present" June was ending, and Dillon and the twins were just a month away from each other. It was actually a present for his brother and sisters-in law, because the kids wouldn't know it was for them. He felt bad not being able to be there for their 1st year of life, but at least he would give them something.
"They are babies!" She exclaimed. "I have a baby brother too"
"Yes, I know" He smiled. "How's Marcus?"
"He cries a lot" Wendy pouted, swinging her little legs back and forth. "Why do babies cry? I don't like it"
Seb laughed as he sewed the lamb costume for Mason. His sister's costume was of shepherdess and Dillon was getting a bear costume.
He demanded photos of them wearing the costumes; he needed to see them to have a good laugh.
"For my birthday I can get something too?" Wendy asked innocently.
'No! Suffer! HAHAHA!'
"Sure, tell your Dad you want something and I will talk to him"
He showed her the lamb costume and smiled. "Like it?"
"No" She said with the honesty of every toddler and giggled. "It's silly, but it is cute"
"Thanks, Red…" Seb smiled but his own choose of words made his all memories resurface. He was suddenly in a car, putting on a seat belt and looking up at a red headed teen …
"You are Wendy! The-The Wendy!" He exclaimed gaping and the toddler cocked her head to the side. Yes, he knew her name already. Mr. Sebastian was weird…
-.—
"Sebastian, everyone absolutely loved the costumes!" Shermie shouted on the phone as Seb walked to the internet cabins. The 16yr olds and Carla had sent the promised photos of the kids wearing their costumes by e-mail and couldn't wait!
"They did? Of course they did, I made them" Seb said smugly and heard Bill2 groan. His brother moaned on the other side of the line.
"You are a show off! Abigail is asking if you can make another one for Mason for next year's Hannukah, she says she wants to teach him a song to show everyone. I don't know which one, but she says it is adorable"
"Haha, sure, kid"
"Hey, Mason, can you say 'hi' to your Uncle? Say hi!" Seb heard him tell his son. "Sorry, he doesn't want to talk, he usually babbles a lot with Mabel"
"It's ok" Seb said and waved at the woman working in the internet cabins before sitting in front of a computer. This things had improved a lot since he last saw one! They were much smaller! He winced as the computer turned on though, it always let out this horrible sound.
"How's school, kid?"
"Tirreeddd! We are dying, but we made some friends, and they think the twins are cute! Can't be friends with idiots who think my kids are less than absolutely adorable" Shermie joked and Sebastian snorted loudly.
"I'll see the pictures now. Have you seen your nephew? Carla says his bear costume was perfect" Seb asked but Shermie was silent for a little bit.
"…No. I-I have seen him through photos, though, and Carla has-has seen the twins through photos too…We-We are kind of far away, you know?"
"Shermie…Are you ok?" Seb asked worriedly. He could hear one of the twins scream excitedly, but he was so concentrated in his brother that he didn't laugh.
"Is that…Stan should be here too to see his son" Shermie whimpered and Seb's heart broke a little.
'It's your fault he is crying, you know? You took that child's father away from him'
"Like, it's been a year and-and I would die if someone tried to take the twins away from me! And Stan has no idea!"
"I know…" Seb mumbled as he clicked the internet explorer's icon to enter to his e-mail. "Let's just hope he is alright, you know he is tough" He opened his new message and squealed loudly, startling the few people in the cabin and Shermie on the other side.
"THEY ARE SO CUTE!" Seb shrieked and his younger brother laughed. "Ok, no, I'll definitely make Mason another lamb costume. I can do one every year until he is 40 if you want because he looks adorable!"
"Thanks, bro. You heard that, Mason? Uncle Sebastian will make you another costume!"
-.-
Gravity Falls seemed to be a completely different world, isolated from the rest of the world, it was as if time moved different here, or at least Sebastian felt that. When he thought only a week passed, entertained with job and working on the portal, it was actually a month.
He saw the kids in town grow up, it was weird, because when he looked at himself in the mirror, he saw the same face he had had since he woke up from prison. Same square and angled jaw, same nose, same eye, same hair, the only difference was that he was keeping it long…
As he and his work got known around the town and nearby towns, the richest family in town, the Northwests, a bunch of conceited, egocentric jerks who were descendants from the town's founder, came down from their cloud to mix with the commoners just to meet with him personally. Seb didn't understand why they wanted to see him, but he didn't like these people and he didn't want anything to do with them.
Sebastian obviously didn't give Preston Northwest the best impression when the young man saw the millionaire's face and burst into laughter. Everything was Bill's fault though! He made him remember when they shuffled the functions of every hole in his face in their other life.
"I-I am so sorry!" Seb snorted and wiped a tear out of his eye. "Ok, now I am fine" He saw the couple were about to have a heart attack at his appearance: He had his long hair down, chewing gum, wearing a wrinkled white shirt, shorts and barefoot. He shaved his legs though, so it didn't look completely bad.
"Are you the tailor? You look like a hobo" The man grimaced.
"Are you the Northwests? I thought you wore suits of better quality" Seb grinned at them when Preston gasped undignified.
'HAHA! BURN!'
Served them right. Preston took a deep breath and explained him their situation. Apparently, their personal tailor had quitted because of 'mistreatment' and they required his services to make their infant daughter, Pacifica, a dress for a dinner they would have out of town.
"Sure, but I would need to see and measure your daughter so the dress fits right" He shrugged and popped his gumball in the woman's face who jumped. Haha, working for them would be fun!
"We would never bring our daughter here! We will have a butler bring her measurements to you" Preston huffed petulantly.
"I don't care" Seb shrugged. "I bet you will buy the fabric right? My poor commoner fabric won't be enough for your precious infant" Seb sighed dramatically and the couple shared a look.
"We will buy the fabric and bring it to you" Preston told the young man. "It better be a good dress"
Seb received his payment and the fabric the next day and he worked on the kid's dress. Of course he did it perfect, and he did it himself, giving his employees the clothes people wanted repaired. He didn't mess around when it came to his job and his clothes, but he had a feeling the Northwests would want him to work for them a lot…
When the dress was ready, a butler came out of a limo to pick it up, and he waved at the couple who was inside with fake enthusiasm. They covered their faces.
Ah, god. He hated them, but as he expected, they demanded he did more work for them. Seb wanted to do their clothes last, but…they actually paid better so, money won, he guessed.
-.-
It's been almost three years since he arrived to Gravity Falls and he didn't want to admit it, but he felt he hadn't done anything with the portal at all. Everything he did was useless! He knew 3 years was nothing, that he was still learning and trying, but what if 30 years passed and he still didn't know what to do to help his brothers? What if he died and never brought them back?
'It's the most likely outcome. You know you aren't like Ford, he is more intelligent, remember? He went college, he finished high school…'
At the beginning of the summer of 2002, Carla paid him a visit because she was on a tour for her play and Seb met his oldest nephew for the first time face to face. He was identical to his mother. His chubby face had freckles spread across his nose and cheeks, he had her nose and his curly hair was a dark brown, a mix between Carla's dark hair and Stan's light brown hair. However, the child shared with his father the same big mischievous light brown eyes.
Seb picked him up with tears in his eyes and hugged him tightly. "Hi, Dillon…Do you know who I am?"
The child looked at his mommy, then back at the familiar man. He tilted his head to the side. "Are you my daddy? I saw photos"
Carla covered her mouth as Seb put the toddler on the floor and knelt in front of him to look at his eyes. "N-No, Dillon…I'm your Uncle, I'm your daddy's brother"
The child hummed. "Why you look like his photos then?"
"Be-Because we are triplets, that means I look like him, and-and he looks like me" Seb explained with a small smile. The child was so cute wrinkling his nose like that.
"Oh…Ok...Hey, you have six fingers here!" Dillon grabbed his right hand and lifted it to compare it with his. "Why do you have six but I only have five?" He frowned with a sad pout.
Seb cooed and picked up the toddler to sit with him on the couch. "People normally have five fingers"
"Did Daddy have six or five?"
"Five"
The child stood up and walked to the entrance, tilting his head to the side. "Uncle Sebastian?"
"Yes?" Seb asked as he and Carla followed him close.
"Why is this all empty?" Dillon asked.
Seb sighed. This space was were Sixer kept a lot of his experiments. After he cleaned the room and moved his things to the basement, he just didn't know what to fill this space with. "I don't know what to put here"
"You can put a pool here" The child smiled. "A huge pool like the one in my house. Can you put a pool here, Uncle Seb?" He begged. "Pwease!"
Sebastian melted and hugged his tiny nephew tightly. "I'll think about it, ok?"
'That's means no but in a subtle way…nice'
"How about I take you and mommy to eat? There's a decent place where kids get free ice-cream!" Seb grinned and his nephew gasped.
"Ice-cream!" Dillon shrieked and pulled his hand towards the door. "Move! Mom! I want! Let's go! Can we go now, pwease?"
Seb walked him towards his car as the child babbled how much he loved ice-cream. A man had moved to the town recently and started selling cars. It was pretty convenient because he had been needing a car for a while, but the man for some unknown reason just hated his guts! It didn't matter, he hated him as well!
At the diner, Susan seemed angry to see him with Carla and Dillon, and glared at him as if he had said something offensive. What was wrong with her?!
"So, who are they?" She asked as she poured coffee on his cup.
"Oh, this is Carla and Dillon" Seb ruffled his little nephew's hair who was coloring. "Cute, isn't he?"
"Sure" The woman rolled her eyes. "I didn't know you had a son" She spat.
Carla choked with her drink and Sebastian blushed. Dillon looked at the woman with a frown and quickly replied before Seb could.
"He isn't my Daddy. Uncle Sebastian is my Uncle, my Daddy is lost but he will come back" He told her firmly. He didn't like when people thought he didn't have a dad or someone else was. He had his Daddy, he knew he was going to come back.
Seb coughed as Bill2 laughed in his mind. "Y-Yeah, what he said"
After that explanation, Susan's smile returned to her face…Uh, weird.
They returned to the house and the toddler took a nap on the couch as his mommy and uncle talked.
"How's the portal thing going?" She asked anxiously, stroking her son's hair.
'Nothing is done and nothing will be done because we will never open that portal!' Bill2 said cheerfully.
"…In progress" Seb eventually mumbled. "Carla, this-this is alien technology, equations created by this demon, I don't know about them, I can't remember...I am trying, Flower…"
The woman sighed. "I know…I am sorry…" She nodded. "Um…Are you ok working alone here? Don't you need someone else, right? You-You don't feel alone, right?"
Seb stroked his nephew's dark locks of hair. "I think I am fine" He smiled. "I get distracted easily, you know that. Someone else here would-would make me divide my attention"
Carla nodded slowly. "That's good to hear" She said quietly that Seb didn't hear. Months after Dillon was born, she remembered about the green-eyed girl who called them when they were back in college. Wanda.
She remembered they promised to call each other if they knew anything about Sebastian. She knew she should try calling her to tell her Sebastian was alive, they promised! But-But that girl could distract him from the portal! What if he stopped trying? What if he gave up to go with Wanda? No, he had to bring Stanley (and Ford) back! He said it was his fault so he better fixed it and gave her her husband back! When he brought them back, she was going to give him his girlfriend…She felt terribly bad about doing this, that girl loved this idiot inmensely, and she hated being so selfish, but she was a mother now, and she had to do what was best for Dillon.
"Thank you for being so kind and patient, Flower…I promise I'll bring Dillon his dad" Seb smiled at her and gently stroked her left hand, unaware of her selfish thoughts.
"It's ok…"
-.—
Sebastian went for the second and last time to California for his brother's high school graduation, but this time, he was driving there, now that he had a car. He hadn't had time to make himself a suit, like the good old days, so he just borrowed Ford's and a red tie. He still preferred a bow tie, but there were none.
The last time he saw the twins face to face, they didn't have teeth in their mouths, and of course, he heard their squeaky voices by phone and saw photos, but they were almost three now! And he couldn't wait to see them again!
'Boring. Crash the car or something'
Seb turned on the car's radio and started singing his heart out as he drove. He was going to see his Ma too. The woman had finally left Filbrick behind after he refused to go meet his grandchildren when they were born. When she got back, she prepared her bags, walked to the door as the old man watched with a frown on his face, handed him her ring, and flew to New York to leave with her sister-in-law to help her take care of Dillon.
Sebastian was in shock when she told him, and the only thing he could say at that moment was something along the lines of "Mom, you are the law! You owned his ass!"
It took him much longer to get to Piedmont this time because he had to make stops to satisfy his weak meat sack's necessities, but he eventually got there. He drove to Shermie's house and knocked, Shermie had said it was fine if he stayed a few days with them, so here he was!
"Sebastian!" The young woman who opened the door was Abigail, and she had a huge smile on her face. Wow, she had changed a lot since the last time he saw her. "Hey, welcome! Was everything ok during your trip?"
Sebastian kissed her cheek and entered, looking around the house with a huge smile. Drawings, colors, and children toys were everywhere. "Just a bit of traffic to enter to the city, but the rest was fine"
"Excellent…Um, take a seat, your mom is already here. I'll call her, Shermie and the kids!" The 18yr old ran away and Seb laughed before sitting…only to be attacked by a lego.
"Damn!" He exclaimed and rubbed his butt. He looked at the couch and picked up the piece of red lego that had been forgotten there.
'Ugh, kids'
He threw it against the wall and before he could complain even further, he heard a voice shouting "Sebasstiiaannn!" Before he could process it, he was tackled back to the couch by a tall figure. "You came, man!"
"Wow! Who are you and what did you do to my little brother?!" Seb exclaimed and laughed, hugging his 17yr old brother. He had grown up a lot these years too, he was even sporting a tiny beard! What?! He wasn't the scared boy he saw face to face three years ago, he was almost a man…He was so proud!
'Gosh, you are too sensible, don't you dare make our eye leak'
"Nervous for tomorrow? Finally out of school, huh?" Seb asked as his brother got off him and helped him stand up.
"Yes, finally! I'm entering to a Technological Institute" Shermie proudly announced. "It's Computing and Software. It lasts less than college, but it is still a good school and I can get to work sooner"
"Shermie, you don't know how happy I am to see you like this, all grown up and responsible" Seb put his hands on his shoulders. When he was 17 he was still a kid, immature and doing stupidities that made his life spiral down. Shermie was a father, he had worked and studied and he will continue working and studying for his family.
"Well, having two critters under your care does that to you" Shermie mumbled with a small smile.
"Sebas!" Both male Pines turned around and saw their Mom going down the stairs, followed by two tiny humans, giggling and with their faces covered in paint.
"Abigail! The children got the paint again!" Shermie told his wife, who rolled her eyes.
"They were playing with your mom, it's fine"
Kari hugged her older son and Seb smiled, hugging her back. "Heya, Ma…Will you introduce me to the kiddos?"
Kari looked behind her and saw the twins were behind her legs, staring at the stranger with doubt but curiosity. "Mabel, Mason, that's Daddy's older brother, Sebas. Can you say hi to him?" She coerced the kids to let go of her dress and the toddlers slowly walked toward him.
Seb squatted to their level and smiled, showing off his fangs a little bit. "Hi, kids..."
The girl giggled. "Hi…I'm Mabel! He is Dipper" She pointed at her twin, who shyly waved at him.
"Hi…"
"Dipper?" Seb frowned. God, why was everything feeling so familiar these days? He saw the images in his mind, but he refused to associate the baby's names with the older faces he saw. It couldn't be, no way. He decided to ignore it.
"That's Mabel's nickname for him" Kari explained with a smile. "Abigail told me that ever since they learnt his birthmark looked like that constellation, Mabel hadn't stopped repeating it"
"Don't you remember your uncle?!" Shermie came from behind and picked up both of his dirty kids, who squealed loudly when their feet left the floor. "You talked to him on the phone, remember? And he sends you presents in Hannukah and for your birthday, you ungrateful brats!" He joked. "He made your costume, Dipper!"
The boy's eyes widened in recognition. "I know a song!" He told his uncle, now that he knew he was related to the presentations he did everytime his family reunited.
Seb smiled widely at the little boy. "Oh, yeah? Can you show it to me?"
"Dipper sings really good!" Mabel informed him and raised her arms to be picked up. Seb obeyed happily and put his little niece on his shoulders, which made her squeal.
"Wait! Wait! Don't do it without me, sweetie!" Abigail exclaimed loudly and ran to the living room where everyone was. She sat down on the floor in front of her baby and smiled. "Ok, now you can start, baby"
Dipper looked at his mom nervously, not remembering how it started, but when she said the first word of the song, he remembered the rest.
"Well! Who wants a lammy, lammy, lammy? I do! I do!" He sang in his cute baby voice and everyone in the room melted as the boy's twins clapped happily.
"So, go up and greet your mammy, mammy, mammy! Hi there! Hi there! So march, march, march around the daisies! Don', don', don' you forget about the baaabyyy!" He made a half-coordinated choreography and then smiled widely, putting a finger in his right cheek as he winked with his left.
"You did that all alone?!" Seb smiled and clapped for his nephew. "That was super cool, man!" He didn't see why Abigail taught him that though, it wasn't as if he was going to need it in the future to save them or anything, but he was glad she did. It was adorable!
"Oh, my baby, you are the best!" Abigail squealed and kissed his forehead repeatedly, making kissing sounds.
Seb felt the girl in his shoulders fuzz. "Me! Me too!" She pleaded, making grabbing hands to call her mommy's attention so she would kiss her too. Seb couldn't help but think Abi shouldn't have said that in front of Mabel, he knew what it was to be compared, it didn't feel nice.
"You too, princess!" Shermie gently grabbed her from Seb's shoulders and kissed her cheek.
"No!" The girl squealed, her pout forgotten. "Your beard itch!" She pushed away his face, but Shermie just smirked deviously and started rubbing his small beard against her neck, making her shriek with laughter.
Seb just looked at his mom with a smile and she pulled him closer to her. "You too, baby" She joked and kissed his cheek, making the teens laugh and Seb groan loudly with embarrassment.
"Mom!"
When night arrived, Seb found himself sitting in a tiny chair in the twins' room. His tiny niece gave him a tea cup with 'Mabel's tea', and told him to drink it. His nephew was sitting in the tiny chair too, but he was coloring a picture book, careful not to get out of the line. Seb could easily see which drawings he colored and which drawings his twin did.
"Thank you, princess, I bet it is delicious" He acted as if he drank from the plastic tea cup.
"It is! I maked it" Mabel smiled. "I also have cookies!" She showed him plastic cookies and Seb grabbed one.
"Um, delicious!" He made as if he was chewing the cookie and the toddler giggled.
"Dipper, eat cookie" She offered with a smile and shoved the plate in front of his face. With infinite patient, the boy smiled at his twin and grabbed a plastic cookie.
"Thank you, Mabel. I'll eat later, ok?"
"OK!" Mabel nodded and then continued telling her uncle, or trying to tell him, about her prince and how they went on many adventures together with beautiful unicorns.
Seb nodded at her, but he was more concentrated on looking at his nephew. The boy was so nice with his sister. She had accidentally pushed him, spilled his juice when they were having dinner, she made him drop his notebook and shoved that plate to his face but he continued smiling at her…That- That was so nice! How could that girl be so lucky to have a brother like him?
'Just remember being jealous of a human baby is too pathetic and move on, damn it'
He couldn't believe it, but he was jealous of a three year old. Ford would have shouted at him or cried or accused him if he did that! Stanley was like him, but there was a point where he exploded too.
He hoped they continued being close like that …
-.—
Seb wasn't going to deny that he shed a few tears at his little brother's ceremony. He was so happy and proud and to Abi's parents, Seb and Kari surprise, Abigail and Sherman gave a speech, and because of their 'special situation', the director had allowed them to do so.
"My name is Sherman Pines, and she is my wife, Abigail Pines" Shermie started, but wasn't stopped by the whispers among the crowd.
"We wanted to give this speech to you all because being here, standing in front of you, is a huge achievement we thought more times than not that we wouldn't complete" Abigail continued.
"Three years ago, Abigail and I became parents of two beautiful kids who are now present, but probably not listening...Children, huh?" He joked and got some family members to smile or laugh softly.
"Becoming parents at our age wasn't easy…It still isn't" Abigail sighed. "I felt like my life stopped, we were kids ourselves and with the new responsilities we had to take, there were always people insulting us, belittling us, and telling me things I won't say aloud because my kids are present"
"We were careless, yeah, probably" Shermie shrugged. "And it was hard for us to assume this responsibility, but I want to thank my Mom, and especially my older brother for being with me when I had no one else, for being firm but never leaving me alone"
"We just wanted to say that we are really happy to be here, because after so many times trying to drop out when the stress was too much, when the problems became too big, we had our family by our side, for which we are extremely grateful, because not many people, especially girls like me in similar situations, had that support"
"Our babies became the most important part of our lives. We changed high school parties that lasted till the morning to stay awake when they couldn't sleep or had a fever, we changed going out to the cinema with friends for diaper duty, and drinking and getting high to be parents of the best things that has happened to us"
"We are here, standing in front of you, graduating and looking forward and hoping for a better future because of them, because our family is the most important thing we have, and we want to be the best family for our children"
The teens smiled and sait at unison. "We just wanted to say, thank you Mabel and Mason. Mommy and Daddy graduated!"
He lied. He didn't shed a few tears, he was crying a river in his chair next to his mom, who was also sobbing proudly. He tried to calm down lots of time, but he just couldn't stop the tears. Abigail's parents were also crying and wiping their tears quickly as the innocent and confused twins just clapped along with everyone else. They liked how everyone stood up to cheer on Mommy and Daddy, it made them happy, they saw them practicing a lot that speech.
When they met with the teens after their ceremony, they attacked them with kisses and hugs because damn it! The kids deserved them! And they handed them their bundles of joy.
"Let's take a photo!" Abigail's father exclaimed happily, showing them the camera he had brought. Shermie and Abi stood in front of the school's yard and smiled, carrying their kids.
"Say something…silly!" Seb saved it in the last moment and the teens smiled.
"Something silly!"
-.-
In early July, Sebastian was in the front porch of the house, frustrated and upset. He didn't know what to do about the portal, and now that the twins were almost 3, they will need more stuff so the problem about getting more money to help Shermie was still up. He knew his in-laws helped him in what they could, but the kid couldn't live with his in-laws forever! The twins needed a house of their own…
While he dwelled on what to do, he saw a short and chubby figure get closer and closer until he recognized him, it was Mrs. Ramírez's youngest grandchild.
"Um…Hi" The boy mumbled and Seb raised an eyebrow.
"Hey…Um, what are you doing here? Did you come to pick up something?"
"Eh…no…" The twelve year old mumbled. "I-I actually came to bring YOU something…You are Sebastian Pines right?"
Seb nodded and the kid got closer. He sat down next to him and showed him a screwdriver which had S. Pines written on it.
"What? How did you get this?" Seb smiled and took it from him.
"Oh, I don't know!" The boy chuckled. "It just…appeared in my house"
"That's so weird! Even for this town, don't you think?! Soos, right?"
"Yes…"
They felt quiet and Seb sighed. "Wanna come inside? The sun is killing me and you probably came walking here"
"Oh, thank you!" The chubby child nodded gratefully and Seb let him inside. Soos looked around the empty room as Seb led him to the kitchen.
"Why is it empty in here?" Soos asked.
"Extra space" Seb replied.
"Then why did you built your store in another part? You could have put it here"
Seb grumbled, thinking in the addition he had asked Dan to make for him to try and sell dresses and suits and he also asked him the same question. Why everyone asked him about his personal decisions?!
"Do you want something to drink? I have apple juice"
Yes, please" The boy nodded.
Seb sat down next to him with a juice box of his own and smiled at the boy, who smiled back. "How's your abuelita?"
"Oh, she's fine!" Soos sipped his juice happily. "She says she doesn't know what to do with me now that I'm in vacations" He joked and Seb laughed.
"Yeah, happens. My mom said the same when I was a kid…"
"Mr. Pines, is it true you have monsters in your basement?" Soos asked curiously and Seb looked at him in shock.
'How come everyone thinks that?! If we had known we could have spread a more interesting rumor! Like corspes and organs!'
"Do people still talk about that?!" Seb asked with a grimace. "It's been years"
The boy nodded. "Oh, yeah, since you came into town, Mr. Pines! I heard the older kids talking about trying to get a look, but I don't know if they did it"
"They tried, I scared them away with a fire extinguisher, so don't get any ideas or I'll blow carbon dioxide on your face too" Seb threatened half joking, half serious.
Soos laughed gleefully and gently pushed his arm. "You really would do that?"
"Don't try me, kid" Seb smiled and the boy smiled.
"My abuelita says you worked with a scientist here, is it true? Apparently many people create legends about you and what you hide, Mr. Pines"
Seb raised an eyebrow. "Really? And what do you think of me?"
"I think you are nice and funny, but I don't know more to believe something about you that might not be true"
"Clever kid" Seb nodded and ruffled his hair. "Well…Yeah, I worked with a scientist here, but-but he is gone and all his experiments are still here"
"Oh, man! That is so cool!" The little boy's eyes widened. "Can I see?!"
"Nope, they are too dangerous, kid…I didn't show them for that reason" Seb shrugged and saw the boy sighed disappointed.
"Oh man, it would have been awesome if you had opened an exhibition of those things! Everyone would be coming here to see"
"You think so?" Everyone coming here and spending their money with him not having to work sounded really nice but…no, those things were Ford's.
"I know so!" Soos nodded eagerly. "Will you do it?"
"Ha! Kid, even if I did it, people here are…kind of slow, you get me? They wouldn't believe they are the real stuff"
"Then show fake stuff as if it was real" Soos shrugged as if it wasn't a big deal, however, it was, and a HUGE deal.
Sebastian's eye widened and he gaped at the kid. That, that wasn't a bad idea! That was actually pretty clever and evil! Making everyone believe fake stuff was real and spend their money here! The store and these fake exhibitions could give him a lot of money he could use to help Shermie and to spend in his research for the portal!
"Soos, that is GENIUS!" He exclaimed with a huge smile that showed him his fangs. "You are totally right! That would make everyone come here!"
Soos blushed slightly and smiled. "You think it was intelligent?"
"Of course! Come here, follow me" Seb motioned him to follow him and the boy trailed after him.
"Everyone says I'm kind of dumb, and I know I am, but it hurts a bit" The child informed him and stopped when the man abrupty stopped. He squatted to look at him in the eyes and shook his head.
"Don't listen to mean words, kid, because what you just told me is the best idea I could have heard! It didn't even cross my mind! We all think different, ok?"
Soos nodded solemnly. "Ok, Mr. Pines"
Seb took him back to the empty space in the house and sighed. Maybe it was time to fill this room with something. He wouldn't change much, just a few things and hide the door to the basement… Yeah, he could do this!
"Do you know how to draw kid?"
-.—
Soos and Seb spent the whole evening in the living room, drawing and planning stuff to create to trick the townsfolk. If it didn't work, it would be fun anyway! And Soos was a nice kid. They called their grandma of course so she didn't worry, and Seb promised to take him home.
While Seb wrote down possible names for their new tourist trap, he saw a flash of white and gray in the living room before it went away, taking with it one drawing. He rubbed his eye with his fist and looked at Soos, who was drawing a fish with an armadillo body. Haha! That was great!
"Did you see that, kid?"
"See what, Mr. Pines?" He asked, and when Seb turned around, he saw the paper was back.
'You are going crazy in this disgusting town…crazier than normal!'
"No…Maybe it was nothing…or a ghost!" Seb grinned to try to scare the kid. He just dumbly, or bravely, smiled though.
"That's awesome!"
"I hope it isn't a ghost. I'm not scared or anything, but I don't want them haunting while I'm sleeping, I need to sleep to be this cute, after all" He put a hand under his chin and Soos burst into laughter.
"Man, you are so weird!" He said, but in a good sense of course, and hit him gently in the shoulder.
Seb smiled. He liked this kid.
-.-
After a week planning, Seb and Soos started creating their fake attractions. They glued heads to bodies, modified photos, and used some 'fake' shrudden heads to decorate the place. Everything was great, he worked in the morning with Soos and on the clothes and at night he worked on the portal, and the best of all, he had the best advertising ever! Everyone knew about his 'mystery house' or something, so they will be eager to go.
"Ok, so here we will show everyone the attractions" Soos showed him the drawn map he did of his house. "And here we will open the Gift Shop" He pointed the place in the map.
"Gift Shop?" Seb laughed. "For what?"
"After seeing the attractions, people will want to take something with them to remember the place and to tell their friends to come too. Everyone does it" Soos explained.
"Oh, alright! I got it" Seb nodded.
They put signs around the house and the surroundings so people knew where to go. The signs read 'What's this?' 'What's inside?' 'Step up!' and more importantly, 'No refunds!'
Soos nodded at that one. "Important"
Seb wondered if the kid knew he had to pay him for all the things he was helping him with. Just after school, he came running here to help him prepare the recently born 'Murder Hut'. He will, but it would be a surprise for him.
Soos made posters and started pasting them everyone in town as Seb entered to the Diner during lunch, a lot of people ate there at that hour so it was perfect. Wearing Ford's suit and with his long hair combed and tied up, he grinned and entered to the diner.
"Hey, folks, is anyone interested in mysteries?" He asked and the people started murmuring among each other.
"I have the most unique collection of weird and supernatural specimens and you are the lucky people who will watch it with your own two eyes for the first time!"
Everyone murmured interested and Soos suddenly entered to the Diner, handing everyone a paper. "Come to the Murder Hut and you will see mysteries and more! Where the answers you knew your whole life will be turned into questions!" He repeated the sentence Seb taught him and everyone smiled excitedly.
"Oh, we will finally see all the mystery hidden in your house, eh?" Susan smiled.
"Of course! We are giving tours for ten-"
"Fifteen dollars!" Soos exclaimed and everyone shouted excitedly, pulling out their money to pay Seb and his little informal employee.
They took the crowd to the house and showed them around the fake attractions. No one suspected a thing, they thought it was hilarious and mysterious and, the best part, that it was real!
'We are surrounded by idiots…'
Yeah! Idiots we can exploit!
"Give me six, kid!" Seb lifted his right hand and Soos looked at his five-fingered hand before adding one more finger from his other hand and high-sixed him.
The townsfolk came and went and when it was too late to continue showing stuff, Seb and Soos closed and stared at the money they earnt in just one day!
"We did it!" Soos exclaimed happily and hugged him by the waist. "It was so much fun!"
Seb divided the money, a little less for him, if he was honest, and handed the boy his money.
"Wha-What is this, Mr. Pines?" he asked confused, staring at the money.
"Well, you are kind of my partner here! You helped me create everything" Seb smiled kindly and forced the child to grab his part. "Now you are in, you can't escape"
Soos giggled. "I'd love to work here! Oh, I am also good with electronic devices, I can fix things!"
"There, then everything's settled" Seb ruffled his hair and handed him an eyepatch. "To make you look cooler, but just for the tours"
Soos clutched it to his chest with a huge grin. "I'll see you tomorrow, Mr. Pines!"
-.-
Soon, Sebastian and Soos became the best liars in all the State. As months came and went, the Murder Hut also grew and changed. They made the souvenirs themselves at first, but as months passed, they had to order them to be made because lots of people came and took them with them! His store also became quite popular, especially during Spring when massive groups of teens came to ask for a personalized dress.
At some point, Seb also decided to change his appearance. If he was going to be Mr. Mystery, then he needed to look awesome and stop wearing his brother's suit. He made himself a yellow suit with a tail and black pants. He complemented his new look with a bow tie but…Something was missing…
Seb took Soos to be witness of the huge change he was going to do. Soos sat on the floor as the hairdresser washed his boss' hair.
"Are you sure you want to do this, Mr. Pines?" A 14yr old Soos asked him.
"Well, now that we are renaming the Murder Hut, I think the host needs to look different too, don't you think? Ooohh! Yes! That feels good…" He hummed as the woman applied products on his hair.
His long locks of curly hair were cut past his ear but it didn't quite reach his shoulders. Then, he explained her how he wanted the dye and his brown hair was discolored before a beautiful bright blond color was applied in the upper part of his hair, practically dividing his hair colors in two halves.
Seb smiled excitedly and Bill2 even seemed excited too! That meant it was a super idea!
'We should have been reborn blond! Brown is too dull and dumb!'
The almost 30yr old man was closing his eyes as the woman dried his hair to make it fluffy again and he heard Soos gasp, looking up from his videogame.
"Dude!"
"Everything's ready, Sebastian!" The woman giggled, it wasn't every day a man came asking he wanted to have his hair dyed, even less to pluck his eyebrows. "You can open your eye!"
The man obeyed and gaped at his reflection. Instead of feeling repulsion like he did when he saw his reflection back in Colombia, this, this was him…He felt deep inside him that this was truly him. He was finally free. He was finally himself. This was Sebastian Pines and he LOVED HIS HAIR, OH MY GOSH!
'…Bearable'
"Oh gosh" He ran a hand through his hair. He had let a goatee grow in his chin and he was shaving it in a triangular form. It looked awesome with his hair like this!
"Whatcha think, kid?!" Seb looked at Soos who after studying his appearance a bit more, he smiled easily.
"I think the Mystery Shack has the best Man of Mystery!"
-.—
"Soos, I have something to give you" Sebastian called the boy's attention as they were closing the Shack for the day.
"I forgot to give it to you when it arrived for the first time, but here it is!" He handed him a green t-shirt with a white question mark on it. "Just tell everyone it was the first mystery t-shirt ever produced or whatever" Seb smiled. When the boy turned 14-15, he realized he was Question Mark…It took him a while to figure it out, which made him feel kind of dumb, but when he was sure it was him, he just had to laugh at the irony because he was meeting all the people from his zodiac! Wendy, Robbie, Soos, Stan, Ford, and a few days ago, he met an albino kid whom he almost-almost confused with someone else, but it was Gideon Gleeful, son of the annoying Bud Gleeful, a man who was even more of a conman than him! When he bought his car, the price was reasonable, but now he was taking advantage of the popularity he was bringing to Gravity Falls to sell his cars at a double price it was worth. He was horrible!
He still didn't know who the Llama, the Shooting Star and the Pinetree were in this universe…He had a feeling, but he didn't know how he would meet them…
'Aren't you sure those twins you-'
"Nop" It was impossible.
Soos gaped and looked up at his boss. "Thank you, Mr. Pines!" He grinned and put it on, but even when he had grown up since he was 12, it was still big for him.
"You'll grow into it" Seb grinned.
-.-
"I am Matilda, the girl who can move things with her mind, look at my inmense power and how I take revenge on those who hurt me" Sebastian whispered to himself as he practiced. Today neither the Shack nor The All Seeing Eye (yes, that was the name of his store, he was dramatic, deal with it) were closed so he was in the back yard moving objets with his mind. He could feel the blood slowly falling from his nose, but he didn't care! He had never moved objets this big before! He changed the couch for the totem and made it float a bit.
"Mr. Pines?!"
'SHIT!'
Sebastian let the totem fall to the floor with a loud thud and turned around scared, seeing Soos gaping at him.
"How-How were you doing that?!" Soos shouted and started backing away, scared of the power he saw in his boss.
"WAIT! I-I can explain!" Seb cried when Soos started running. Desperate, he picked him up with his mind, enveloping in a yellow glow, and made him float back to him.
"Question Mark! Question Mark! I can explain, please don't leave" The now blond man begged the younger male, who, after debating with himself, nodded slowly.
Seb let him go slowly and Soos's feet touched the floor safely.
"Ok…" Soos started. "How were you doing that, dude?!"
Seb looked around, making sure no one was watching. "Let's go inside, alright?"
His hands started burning a bit, and he rubbed the palms of his hands to keep the flames off as he breathed heavily. They sat down on the living and Seb sighed.
"Ok…Do you want the truth?"
"Yeah, that's would be nice" The teen agreed.
Quick! What lie can I give him that is believable?!
'You are a magical prince from another dimension who was sent to Earth to learn about your powers and live among humans!' Bill2 said with fake enthusiasm.
That's the worst idea I have heard!
"I-I have been…Um…I have had powers for a while, now Soos…" He confessed, not giving out too much information yet.
"But-But how can you do it?!"
"Um…You see…I am human, ok? But…But at the same time not? I'm a little bit something else, but I can't tell you what…I-I am not bad, though"
'That's what you say'
"Uh huh…" Soos nodded, making sure Seb understood he wanted more.
"I wasn't lying to you, I just didn't think it would be too important…" Seb concluded.
"Not important?! Hiding to me that-that you can make things float like a superhero?!" The teen made a hurt face. "I thought we were partners, Mr. Pines…That we could trust each other"
Ok, that hurt. "You…think my powers are cool?"
"Cool?! They are awesome, dude! You have to show everyone!"
"NO!" Seb exclaimed. "No one else can know about this, Soos, I told you, I am 99.9% human! If someone bad knows about me, they can take me away or hurt me and experiment with me! Do you want that happening to me?!" The blond man pouted sadly and Soos quickly shook his head.
"No! Never!"
"Then this stays between, alright? Forever, you can't tell anyone, Soos, anyone!"
"Deal" Soos smiled and extended his hand to shake. Taking the opportunity to show off a bit more, Seb willed his flames to appear in his right hand and Soos shouted startled and took a few steps back.
"I'll shake hands like this, this seals my powers"
"Does-Does it hurt?" Soos asked timidly but sighed in relief when his boss shook his head. He grabbed his boss' six-fingered hand and admired the harmless blue fame. "Awesome. Is that fire only to make deals?"
"No!" Seb smiled. "Let me show ya, let's go outside and bring the extinguisher!" Seb ran away laughing happily. He could someone his powers! He had been dying to share them!
"So that's why there are so many of these things around…" Soos muttered before taking one outside.
Seb told him to get ready with the extinguisher before concentrating and letting both his arms get enveloped by the flames. He extended his arm and shot fire towards the picnic table, which caught on fire and started burning. Soos ran towards it and quickly turned it off. When the fire was gone, he realized the table was burnt! How?!
"That's awesome!" Soos shouted. "Can you do something more?!"
"Eh…no…" Seb said and scratched the back of his head, embarrassed. "I-I only have these ones…Or at least, that's what I think, I haven't try exploring them…" He was busy with life, he barely had time to practice with the only two powers he had.
Soos sat down on the burnt table. "You mentioned sealing deals…Does it have anything to do with your powers?"
Seb sat down next to him, staring at the forest in thought. That…didn't sound so bad…
'Try something! Try making a deal, moron! Maybe we can have the rest of our powers through deals!'
"Can we try?" Seb asked. "I promise it will be a simply deal, just to know if I can do it"
"Let's do it" The younger man said solemnly and Seb smiled. He knew what they could try now. He pulled out a dollar from his pocket and handed it too Soos.
"Soos, have you ever wished to be super fast?"
"Of course!"
"Ok, how about this, you give me a dollar and…and I give you the ability to be super fast for 1 minute? Then it is over" Seb tried to think in how it could backfire so he added. "This dollar will guarantee you will not hurt during this and…it won't hurt either when it stops…Deal?" He extended his right hand and blue flame surrounded it.
Soos looked at his boss' eye and sighed. "Deal" He shook hands with him.
"Ok, you gotta give me the dollar…Careful…" Seb instructed and the boy slowly handed the man the bill. As soon as the dollar was in the man's possession, Soos felt a shiver down his spine which went to his legs. The energy was too much!
"Go, kid. Run!" Seb demanded and Soos started running, going to the limit of the town and back in a few seconds.
"This is incredible!" He exclaimed excited. For the 30 seconds he ran around the town, he saw everyone in slow motion. Mr. Pines did have magic powers! He returned to the Shack in the second 29 and the effect disappeared.
Soos looked up at his boss who was still looking at him. "Run" He repeated.
"I already did it, Mr. Pines, I ran around all Gravity Falls and came back and you didn't even notice!"
'Did you hear that, Sebastian?!'
"I still have powers through deals! Soos, I would have never known that if it wasn't for you!" Seb exclaimed and hugged his chubby employee with all his might.
"You're welcome" The younger man replied, hugging him back. This man was his best friend, he was like a big brother, he was really fond of him and now that he knew he had powers, he liked him even more! It was sad he couldn't tell anyone though…
-.-
The years just continued passing and Seb fell in love with his job even more, as if it was possible. He never stopping working on the portal, he never stopped staying until late in the night, he never stopped worrying about his brothers, but that didn't take away the fact that he loved this town! He was free! He felt himself, he felt happy!
Unlike the Stan from his universe who arrived to Gravity Falls and 'killed' himself to everyone, here, Sebastian was in a renaissance, he was actually showing everyone who he truly was and he loved it!
He stayed more than a decade in Gravity Falls and before realizing it, Spring of 2012 was finishing, which meant kids and teens would go on vacations…Which meant making dresses! Yay!
As he said bye to some tourists, he saw Wendy, backpack in her bag, marching up towards him. The toddler he met when he arrived was gone and in her place was the Wendy he actually remembered, a teenage girl with long ginger hair and a super chill attitude. Ice, Red, both worked pretty fine.
"Hey, Mr. P!" She greeted and he waved at her absentmindedly.
"Great to know you learnt to use a door, kid. I was wondering if I had to lock my windows"
"Haha, sweet" She grinned. "I wanted to ask a favor, man. My dad is SUPER annoying right now and he says that if I don't get a job, he is going to send upstate to my cousin's logging camp and that place is horrible! Can I have a job?" She smiled.
"Haha! Me? Giving you, an irresponsible girl a job in my respected and recognized tourist attraction I built with my own hands?! I don't think so" He poked her nose with a smirk and walked away.
"Come on, Mr.P!" She begged. "I don't wanna go there! If I go, I'll never go back because I'll die" She threatened with her arms crossed.
"Geesh, dramatic girl" Sebastian rolled his eyes. "Ok, FINE! Just because I am an EXCELLENT person!"
"Oh gosh, are you serious?! Thank you!" She exclaimed and hugged him quickly before letting him go. "I'll be in cashier duty" She self-proclaimed and walked away with a big smile.
"Soos?" Seb called, and the 21 year old poked his head from behind the door.
"Yes, Mr. Pines?"
"I think we will have a new employee this summer"
-.-
Abigail watched the twins sleep and then walked back toward her husband. "Are you sure we can leave them with Sebastian? I mean, it's not that I don't trust them, but they had never stayed so far away from home" She bit her lip.
"Love, the kids will be fine!" 27yr old Shermie smiled at her. "They will have fun with him, Seb is fun!"
"But they haven't seen him in around 10 years, they don't remember him and they had barely talked by phone! Wouldn't it be better if we leave them at my parent's house?"
"Your parents deserve a children-free summer, Abi, and we deserve this! We have worked hard, haven't we?"
"Yes…"
"And we were excellent parents! We have paid the house by now, they have food, they have toys; they have everything! A little time for ourselves in a really nice cruise doesn't sound appealing to you? Or do you prefer watching Dipper play videogames all day? I don't like him, he is going to need glasses if he continues like that"
"We will miss their birthdays…" Abi pouted. "Are you sure your brother will agree on taking care of them?"
"Of course! Sebas loves me!" Shermie dismissed the thought. "He won't say no" The curly man proclaimed "I'll call him later"
-.-.-
While Soos watched the tourists, Sebastian rushed around the store. It had never been this crowded! The store was stocked up with both girls and boys of Gravity Falls and other states looking for the best dress and suit for their prom. The girls fought for the dresses on display and the boys studied the suits carefully, others were asking for personalized dresses.
"Mr. Sebastian! You should TOTALLY! get yourself a manager!" The girl Sebastian was helping with her dress exclaimed, making him wince at the high-pitched voice. "Like, this place is like, THE BEST!"
"Thank you, I guess, don't move or I'm going to put this needle in your eye" He warned.
"I came from New York just for this dress!"
"I know" Sebastian laughed, examining the girl who was now squealing at the pink princess dress she was wearing. She had ordered it a while ago and it was one of the hardest ones he did that summer.
"There! Now, if you-Hey! Hey! What in the name of shit do you think you are doing?!" Sebastian shouted to some girls bothering a dark skinned girl, who seemed to be about to cry. They were telling her something about her hair and her skin when Sebastian interrupted them.
"Nothing!"
"Ya know what? Get out of my store" He snapped.
"What?! No!" They pleaded "I came just for my dress!"
"And I don't want racists, spoiled brats sharing the same air as me, so bye-bye!" He singsonged too eagerly.
"No, please..."
"I SAID OUT!" He shouted, showing them his fangs. The three girls sniffed and ran away.
The blond man sighed tiredly and smiled gently but tiredly at the surprised girl. "Choose whatever you want ok? And call me when you are ready to try it on" The girl nodded and smiled slightly.
"Thanks, Mr. Pines..."
He smiled and turned to look at his cashier, his smile disappearing from his face.
Wendy had started working yesterday and she wasn't as good as she told him she would be. She didn't even glance from her magazine as the costumers paid for the clothes. "Thanks for coming..." She mumbled lazily.
"Red!" Sebastian roared from the other side of the store. "Can you do me a favor and I don't know, WORK?!"
"We need more people here, Mr. P" Wendy moaned tiredly.
"I like being busy, I feel in charge of everything" He laughed as he handed a teenage boy a green tie. "I feel like I can see everything"
"Whatever..." Wendy shrugged and returned to her magazine.
"Can I try on this dress?" A girl squealed, looking at him pleadingly.
"Sure thing! Right this way" He pointed to the changing rooms as he ran to the other side of the room toward a boy to help him with the suit.
"It's too big on the shoulders..." He said.
"We can make this shorter, no problem...But I would recommend the bow tie..."
-.-.
The chaos that usually lasted 2 weeks was over and Sebastian sighed in relief. He threw himself to the floor and closed his eyes.
"Mr. Pines?"
"No. This is my bed now…" Seb mumbled with his face against the wooden floor.
Soos looked at Wendy, who shrugged unsure of what to do. "When was the last time you slept?"
"Um…Yesterday…but yesterday 2 days ago"
Wendy laughed as Soos helped him stand up. "You need to sleep, dude, let's go"
Seb laughed at him. Both employees thought it was hilarious how he acted as if he was drunk when he was tired. "I wove youuu! What would I do without youu?! Probably much more, you know, you two suck, but I love you" He grinned and closed his eye.
Sleeping sounded good.
-.-
"Ok, remember, your Uncle Seb is kind of excentric, but he is the best man ever" Shermie put sunscreen on his kids' noses as he and Abigail handed them their luggages they took the effort to pack for them.
"What?! But I don't wanna leave!"
"Yeah, summer is to be lazy!" Mabel exclaimed and high fived her brother.
"No, you need some fresh air, the woods will do you good, maybe you can grow up a little bit" Abigail said and sighed when Shermie took Dipper's videogame from him.
"NO! Dad!" Dipper whined. "Why can't I take it?! It's so unfair!"
"No, Dipper, knowing you, you will end up all day in the house playing, I want you to go out…maybe make some friends…"
"I will never make friends…" Dipper mumbled and Mabel hugged him brieftly before their parents took them to the station. That was what the boy hated more, having to go there by train and then take a book to something called the Mystery Shack! It was going to take so long!
"Please, be good to your uncle" Abigail kissed their foreheads before the twins got in the bus.
"Do you promise you will bring us presents?!" Mabel asked and her dad laughed.
"Sure, princess. Are you taking your scrapbook?"
"Yep! I'll take lots of pictures to show you what Dipper and I did"
The young parents said bye to their kids and then took a taxi themselves to go to the airport. They took a drink there, enjoying their couple time for the first time since the kids were born and talked distractedly about the activities they will do. When they were about to board the airplane though, Shermie suddenly and took a hand to his mouth while his green eyes widened.
"Shermie? What's wrong?!"
"Fuck, I didn't call Sebastian…"
"YOU WHAT?!"
-.—
Sebastian was sitting behind the gift shop, bored. Where were the tourists?! What time was it?! He started polishing his nails as Soos hummed, sweeping the floor happily.
Suddenly, his phone rang and he lazily picked it up. "Oh, hey, Sherms, what's up? Long time no see"
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
Was shouted from the other side of the phone and Seb almost dropped it. "Was that Abigail?"
"Hi Sebas…Um…Can I ask you a favor?"
"Sure thing, whatcha need?" Sebastian asked, glaring at Soos who was trying to eat the candy offered to the costumers.
"Well, Abi and I are planning to travel, you know, a couple thing"
"Sure" He rolled his eyes.
"But the kids can't come...I was wondering...Maybe you can take care of them in summer for me? Please, they are really well-behaved and going out to the woods would be a nice experience"
"Uh...Yeah...sure" He shrugged. He could put them in the attic, there was plenty of space there...
"GREAT! YOU SEE, HE ACCEPTED, ABI! I MEAN, thank you so much, Sebastian, I own you a big one! When can they go?"
"Uh...Whenever you want, I'll make them my slaves in the shop though" He grinned. Shermie sure knew he wasn't joking right?
"Yeah, whatever! They are already going they must be there by tomorrow! I'll send you the information to your phone! THANKS BROTHER! The plane is about to leave, bye!" The line ended and Sebastian blinked.
Tomorrow?!
"Wendy!" He shouted and the girl appeared out of no where, checking her phone.
"Yeah?"
"Um...Do you know anything about kids?"
"I have younger brothers" She shrugged.
"Great! 'Cuz my younger's brothers kids are coming tomorrow! So move your ass, young lady and help me clean the attic!"
She groaned and left her magazine aside, following the man grumpily. "Do you even know their names?"
"Of course I know!" Seb huffed.
'They are Pinetree and Shooting Star' Bill2 insisted once again.
No, they aren't! Seb stubbornly refuted.
"What I don't know is how they look right now, I haven't seen them in 10 years…Maybe Shermie will send me their information later"
Sherman didn't send him shit. He spent all day cleaning the attic for the kids and making it look decent. He was so tired that day he couldn't work on the portal. But… he guessed having them with him would be fun...
The following day, Sebas was driving to the station to pick up his niblings. He was worried they wouldn't get there safe or were kidnapped or something during the change from the train to the town so he called to the station, informed them about his kids and that he was going for them.
Just when the bus arrived, he received a message from his brother. A picture of the twins was opened in the chat. A girl and a boy. Curly brown hair, chubby faced. The picture was taken by surprise it seemed. The girl wore braces and waved at the camera while the boy tried to shield his face by to no avail.
'Remember, Dipper and Mabel are allergic to nuts like me! Thank you!' It read and Sebastian paled.
Two kids around twelve got down from the blue bus, carrying their bags and luggage and looking around confused and scared, obviously not knowing who to look for.
Dipper and Mabel Pines...
Oh god…Bill was right…
Seb got out of the car and walked towards them in a sort of trance.
"Um…I'm Dipper and she is my sister Mabel…Are you our Uncle?" He asked and the man nodded slowly.
They were, without a single fucking doubt Pinetree and Shooting Star...
PINETREE AND SHOOTING STAR WERE HIS NIBLINGS! HE COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!
Mabel shrieked when Sebastian turned around and threw up from the emotion.
'Oh, this summer is going to be fun, indeed...'
