Two figures appear out of nowhere and are thrown onto the fresh winter snow. "Ow." Mabel groans and turns to her twin brother, Dipper. He shakes the snow off his hat and looks at her,

"You okay?" he asks and she nods. Dipper's eyes widen and he scrambles to his feet, "Oh gosh Mabel, Blendin's gonna be here any second!" he says, and helps her to her feet. Just as he says that, a neon swirling portal appears behind the two. Dipper quickly pulls out the time traveling device the two had been using, set it for who knows where, and threw it. He grabbed Mabel and they ran behind the only house in sight. Just as they got out of view, Blendin Blandin came tumbling out his portal, and just as Dipper was hoping, the device he threw created another portal. Blendin quickly got up,

"You two won't get away!" he yells shrilly and jumps into the portal, and it closes behind him. The twins both let out a relieved sigh and Mabel looks around,

"Where are we?" she asks and Dipper looks at the home that they were hiding behind. He squints his eyes and studies it,

"This place looks...familiar." he says and the two walk around to the front of the snow covered house. After a few moments of silence, Mabel lets out an excited gasp,

"DIPPER! This is the Mystery Shack!" she says and his mouth drops open. She was right, this house had the exact same triangular structure of the Mystery Shack, but it didn't have any signs up or stupid attractions. Just then, the front door cracks open and a man's face peers out,

"Hello? Who's there?" he yells and Dipper's about to grab Mabel back but she goes running to the door.

"Grunkle Stan, Grunkle Stan!" she yells and Dipper smacks himself in the forehead. She's messing with the past! And who knows what that could do to the future! He reluctantly follows her to the door and discreetly flicks her ear. "Ow!" she mumbles and rubs her ear,

"What are you two doing in this cold?" he questions, and Mabel proceeds to answer him. Dipper tunes her out as he studies the man in front of them. He seemed to be a younger version of Grunkle Stan, but a weird feeling was gnawing at Dipper, and he didn't know why. Dipper then notices the sudden quietness and looks up to find Stan staring at him, "Did you hear me?" he asks and Dipper blushes,

"Oh no I'm sorry w-what did you say?" Dipper asks and young Stan chuckles,

"I said you're sister here has quite the imagination. She said you two are time travelers. Now would you care to give your explanation for being out here?" he says and Dipper pinches Mabel for being such an airhead.

"Ah! Dipper!" she squeals and Dipper rolls his eyes,

"We're just lost, but we'll get out of your hair. C'mon Mabel." he says and starts to turn around but Stan stops him,

"Trying to find your way home in this storm would be like trying to explain the origin of the universe. Impossible." Stan says, and both twins look a bit shocked at this slightly smart analogy. The older Stan from their time didn't even know what an analogy was, and he certainly didn't care about the universes' origin. "Please come in and stay, at least until this storm blows over." Stan says, completely oblivious to their shocked faces.

"O-ok." Dipper says, and the twins follow Stan inside. Warmth enveloped them as the door was shut, and they both looked around, The Mystery Shack looked the exact same, minus all the weird over-priced souvenirs.

I'll get you something to drink. What would-" Stan starts but another voice fills the room,

"Stanley! Is that you?" a very familiar gruff voice asks. Mabel leans into Dipper's ear and whispers,

"I thought Grunkle Stan's name was Stanford." and Dipper nods, because it was Stanford. Another person enters the room and both twins gasp loudly. The guy that let them in, and the guy that just entered the room looked almost exactly the same. The only way the two could be told apart was by their hairstyles. Also, the guy that let them in had glasses, but the other did not, and the one that just came in had facial hair, but the other did not.

"You're...TWINS." Mabel says and the twin with the facial hair rolled his eyes,

"And so are you two, are we done here? And who are you?" he says, and starts digging through the sack that was in his hand. Dipper knew right away by his attitude that this was the young Grunkle Stan. Dipper furrowed his brow, and tried to fend off the tremendous amount of questions forming in his head,

"Then who are you?" Dipper asked the glasses wearing twin,

"My name is Stanley, and this is my brother Stanford." he says,

"Pines?" Dipper asks and both twins jerk their heads up.

"How did you know that?" they both asks in unison and Dipper scratches the back of his neck,

"Erm, lucky guess." Dipper manages to squeak out. Stanley raises and eyebrow and looks like he's about to question Dipper again, but Stanford yells in triumph,

"Finally got them!" he says and Dipper's heart skips numerous beats as he stares at the 3 objects in Stanford's hands.

"Oh my gosh." Mabel whispers as they stare at the 3 journals.
