~Arrival (Part 2)~
"It's amazing Dipper! Great Uncle Ford was right! There really is paranormal stuff here!" Mabel opened the journal to a page of a large creature that had large fangs and showed it to Dipper. "According to this book, Gravity Falls is like a hotspot for the supernatural."
Dipper gazed at the page with a rather bored expression as he sat on the couch upside down. The twins were back at the Mystery Museum where Mabel deemed it much more safer from prying eyes. At least for now.
"But Mabel, you haven't seen a vampire or a..." Dipper squinted his eyes as he read the page of the journal while upside down. "A Shadow Wraith? Look, how do you know if they're even real?"
Mabel shut the book and placed it under her armpit. Dipper was right in a way. How did she even know if they were real if she have never seen them with her own eyes? Seeing was believing of course. So if that was the case, why would she trust the journal so soon? For all she knew, it could be a prank. Even Great Uncle Ford's job. She needed to see if he was telling the truth. And to do that, she needed to see anything supernatural.
"You're right..." Mabel mumbled quietly mostly to herself. She placed the journal inside her coat pocket and began to head for the door when a sudden sound of something hard crashing into the ground stopped her. Both Mabel and Dipper turned their heads to see a chubby man standing in the doorway staring at them with a brown toolbox lying at his feet. Mabel stared at the chubby man as she observed his appearance. He had light peach fair skin, and buck teeth. He wore dark brown shoes, beige pants and a jade green shirt with a big dark green question mark on the front of it. On his head was a furry brown hat. Perfect for the season.
The three continued staring at each other for what seemed like forever until Dipper finally broke the silence. He sat up and casually waved at the man. "Hi! I'm Dipper! The girl over there is my sister, Mabel. Wanna see my birthmark and be buds?"
The chubby man stared at Dipper for several seconds until he gave a large goofy smile. "Oh would I?!" The chubby man picked up the toolbox he dropped and carried it with him as he walked towards Dipper.
Dipper laughed and picked up his brown bangs showing his weird birthmark to the chubby man. The birthmark was in the shape of the Big Dipper. The chubby man gasped as soon as he saw it. "Dude, your birthmark has stars."
Dipper placed his hands on his hips as he proudly grinned at the chubby man. "I know right?"
Mabel placed her hand on her head as she mentally groaned. Of course Dipper would do that. Every time he would meet someone, he would show them his birthmark. It never really bothered Mabel much, but now that he did more often, it was hard not to wonder why her brother wouldn't use the normal way of greeting someone like shaking hands or bowing.
Mabel walked towards the chubby man and Dipper and placed a hand on Dipper. She looked up at the chubby man eyeing him. "So who are you?"
"Oh me?" Asked the chubby man. "I'm Soos. I work here for Mr. Pines. I'm his tool man." Soos held his toolbox up showing the twins his tools inside of it. He dropped his hand as he scratched his chin squinting at the twins. "But uh who are you?"
"We're Great Uncle Ford's niece and nephew. We're staying here for winter break. Didn't he tell you that?" Mabel asked wondering why Soos didn't know about them.
Soos shrugged his shoulders. "I guess Mr. Pines forgot. But it's cool." Soos looked back at the doorway and placed a finger under his chin. "Uh... I have to go fix a pipe. But we can hang out later if you dudes want."
Dipper gave Soos a large smile. "That would be so awesome!"
Soos nodded with a smile and turned walking out of the living room. Dipper chuckled and directed his attention back at Mabel. "Mabel! Isn't it cool?! We made a new friend!" From his eyes, Mabel could tell he was excited about that thought.
Mabel placed her hand on her hip. "Actually, you kind of did Dipper. Besides, how can you make a friend in one day?"
Dipper shrugged pointing both of his thumbs at his chest. "I guess I'm just that awesome."
