Dipper and Mabel part 2

Sorry for the delay, I hope you can enjoy the quiet chapter without interruptions, but now enough talking, and let's go to the chapter that took me a certain amount of hours to do. ^-^

___________________________

As soon as they entered, they saw that Luffy was already digging through the scrap metal to get the elements needed to fix the machine.

"Are you sure you can fix the machine with scrap?" Dipper asked.

"Of course, if I wasn't sure you could say goodbye to your friends." He said concentrating on digging up this garbage.

Before Dipper could show any emotion on his face, I continued.

"Of course, that is if you don't get caught by the police of time for being at a different time than you should and consecutively causing a time anomaly." Found 1 of 10 parts I need.

I was taking the piece apart to get just what I needed while Dipper and Mabel watched in fascination with what I was doing.

"But… come on, you'll learn eventually, that's the saying: "Live and learn." Dipper wanted to ask what he meant.

But, a third appeared.

"Oh, kids! I finally have visitors after a long time! Haha.." McGucket dances like in the second episode of Gravity Falls, but with small, almost imperceptible differences.

The changed tone of voice and minimal movements, some faster and slower.

"Is there any danger old McGucket?" Dipper asked since he's seen this dance before with some enthusiasm for more mysteries.

"No, this is the dance of a BIG celebration!" He said while showing through small gestures his happiness, like laughter.

"*Laughs* Looks like we're even Dipper now." Mabel punched Dipper in the arm remembering that she thought at first that he was dancing for joy.

"His left leg was a little further in, his laugh lasted more than 5 seconds, and he hit your leg with more emotion than usual, so you can tell the difference between the two dances." I spoke after finding the fourth necessary piece.

I stopped for a moment and stood up towards McGucket.

"Nice to meet you Old McGucket. I'll stay for a while to fix the device, I hope you can allow me to stay in the meantime." I spoke respectfully to him, everyone who knows his story through the drawing and the diary knows that he stayed with the Ford until the end, only when he saw exactly what they were creating did he leave for good.

'After advising Ford several times and staying with him as a friend, he still doubted that McGucket would take all the research.'

"Ah~ I'm not used to being respected it can be informal with me. Visit more often, I don't have many visitors, want to eat? I caught a skunk today" He said excitedly at the prospect of eating with other people.

"No thanks." Dipper went straight.

"I already ate a lot of sweets before I came." Mabel told the truth, but surely if it was chocolate or other candy she would be eating it.

"Sorry, but I'll have to decline, my friends are waiting for dinner, but..." Checking my pockets I found the apple I put in my pocket in case I was hungry.

'Too bad I don't have meat, I didn't bring it because it would be weird and I didn't expect to stay here for a long time.'

"You can eat this McGucket fruit as a thank you." I threw the fruit at him and he devoured it quickly.

"If you change your mind, I'm in my cabin." He spat into his hands and reached out to shake our hands.

Dipper and Mabel took a step back from that.

Me following his custom, even though I looked a little gross, I spat in my hand and shook his hand.

"I'll be in his care." Luffy.

"Haha, always welcome!" Before we let go of our hands, he suddenly walked over and warned me.

"Careful! He's always watching." And after that as if nothing had happened he said goodbye and went to prepare the possum.

Of course, I know who he was talking about and I felt watched a few times, but since I didn't do anything noteworthy, he must just think I'm a blind man who was lucky enough to have these creatures around me, to protect me.

'Hehehe, he couldn't be more wrong.' smirk

"Luffy, why do you have so much respect for a crazy old man who spits on his hand when he greets people? Why did you do the same? Does he have something hidden?..." In front of Dipper's barrage of questions, I could only laugh and talk.

"I've seen more disgusting things than that and about your other questions... I'm sorry, but this mystery you have to solve on your own." The animals I have to cut open to separate the guts are more disgusting, but since I was blindfolded, luckily for me, I didn't experience nausea and possibly loss of hunger.

"We'll fix this device soon so you can go home, we don't want you to stay here too long, right? After all, you two have people waiting for you." *D's smile*Your case sounds like mine, Ravi and the others must be a little worried, I've been gone longer than I should have.

I hope they don't do anything wrong. I saw the pair a little disoriented, but they soon came back into focus.

'I feel like I missed something here... but it shouldn't be that important.'

Continuing to mount I notice that Mabel who is usually the liveliest one in the cartoon is quiet, but from her breath, she is eager to say something, as Shrek once said: "Better out than in."

"Mabel if you want to say something you can say it, I can answer you while I fix this machine." 3 2 1 and...

"YOU ARE SO CUTE!" He pulled my cheek and it stretched.

Okay, this I didn't expect.

Or maybe hoped? I don't know, there was this possibility since in the anime the things she liked the most were sweets, kittens, and unicorns.

Speaking of which I'm going to need the unicorn mane for my robot, I remember the other ingredients that were mentioned in the drawing for my salvation.

After Mabel messed with me for a while she calmed down, well it's more accurate to say the frenzied mode is over *laughs.

"So you came to visit your grandparents?" Mabel asked a question that was completely out of the calculation.

"Grandparents?" I asked with clear confusion in my voice.

"YES! H- HmHMM!!" Dipper closed Mabel's mouth as soon as she realized it could alter the timeline.

"I'm sorry you must have gotten confused, I don't have grandparents." I noticed that Dipper stopped them from causing something they shouldn't have but I left it alone.

"How do you get food?" Dipper asked the question, withdrew his hand, and wiped it on his shirt (Mabel licked it *laughs* I forgot which episode this scene takes place in).

"Hm? Didn't future I tell you? I hunt for my food." 3 more to go now.

Mabel had stars in her eyes and Dipper was saddened by my condition, Mabel was secretly nudging Dipper and whispering in her ear.

After a while, he finally completes the part needed to fix the machine.

"Perfect now just need a screwdriver but... I'm sure none of you have it so let's improvise." Dipper was a little embarrassed since Luffy did everything and they were just watching and asking questions here and there, whether it was about what I was doing with the parts during disassembly or my personal life.

I checked if I could use my nail to do this task, which fit but I'm sure the nail will break then...

I used the basics of haki and twisted my finger several times, snapped it in and the screw came out.

I removed the defective part and put the new one, repeated the process, and brand new one.

"Here, fixed." I gave it to Dipper.

Dipper was impressed and Mabel jumped on top of me with a hug.

"THANKS, LUFFY! Now we can go home." She kept jumping as she hugged me.

'When was the last time I was hugged?' Even though it had been a long time since he'd been hugged it wasn't uncomfortable.

"Don't miss the year, 6 years on and Dipper" I was serious this time.

Dipper also got serious and asks what the problem was.

"Fix what you did, it was selfish of you to take something important from someone for your own gain even if they wish you well." I warned him, I remember Mabel banging her head on the totem pole for over a month, climbing vines on her mossy body, and even a snail.

Dipper was silent for a while, weighing the pros and cons.

I extended my hand.

"Promise me."

"*Sigh* I promise." And he shook my hand.

"Good! Hope I don't see you guys in this timeline again" With a smile I said goodbye and turned around, not focusing on them anymore and they were gone.

'It must be 4 o'clock in the afternoon, they must be very worried' As soon as I was planning to go home I ended up stopping, next to me is Dusk 2 Dawn.

'I can get some spices here, salt is a priority.' I jumped the fence.

Analyzing the door it is possible to break it but I can end up having a butterfly effect.

The same is if I go in through the vent unless I unscrew it and then screw it in when I come out.

'Perfect!'

After entering the shop, mission impossible style and as silent as possible, I go after the main objective, the mission that was assigned to me.

The salt.

He's right in front of me just a few feet away.

But I didn't underestimate the level of the mission I know very well that 'lives' here and there is something embedded in my learning called respect for elders, as far as possible I've met grumpy gentlemen already and you won't want to deal with them. (It was sad that day, as I liked old people a lot, as I thought they were kind and experienced.)

'So if they reject my salt I have no choice but to steal and leak it if not here maybe at Lazy Suzan's restaurant.'

I approached to get the salt and two ghosts appeared.

I felt the spirit in that place a long time ago and now that it took shape in front of me.

"Oh! A child in our store dear, how long has it been since the last time?" Pa Duskerton spoke to his wife.

"You're right honey, do you want a sweetie? Or maybe you're hungry?" Ma offered something to eat.

'Heh, my grandparents did that too, even with tight money I always managed to put food on the table, I remember once my grandfather sold his land and bought everything he needed and lacked in the house, I wish I had spent more time with them and enjoyed that they wouldn't be in this world anymore after a while. That was one of my regrets.' Without me noticing some tears came down my face when remembering a distant past.

"Oh my god, no need to cry where are your parents?" Ma asked a little anxious to make a child cry.

"They're not in this world ma'am" I wiped my tears that had slipped under the blindfold.

"Why are you wearing that blindfold on your eyes?" Pa asked worriedly.

"It was a promise I made, don't worry I don't have a problem with my eyes." I gave a sincere smile.

"Who did you promise and will you take the blindfold off someday?" Pa asked concerned about the content of the promise.

"Yes, summer 6 years from now." I said resolutely and nothing would change my mind.

"How old are you?" Ma asked this time.

"6 years" They looked at each other and communicated through their eyes.

"Don't you want to be our grandson?" Pa offered.

I was stunned by the offer.

"You know we always wanted a grandson so if you want we can be your new family what do you think?" Ma asked excitedly at the idea of ​​a grandson to take care of but respecting my wish in case I want to refuse.

I remembered what Mabel had said earlier and filled it in with the current situation and the animals I'm taking care of in the forest.

'So that was it, even without knowing it would be the same thing.' I lifted my head looking at where the supposed eyes would be.

And he said with the biggest smile he had: "My name is Monkey D. Luffy I will be under your care from now on, please take care of me." Classic D. smile (Now you can't tell but later on you'll see that this smile will be used less if I'm not mistaken.)

"Ohoho! You're a very polite young man, I'm Pa and my wife's name is Ma and don't worry we'll take good care of you won't we dear?" Pa said as he put his arm around his wife's shoulder.

"Yes, why don't you sit down we have some sweets still in the shop." Ma 'pulled out' a chair and a small table for me to sit on.

"Thanks." You can't refuse someone's kindness, especially if it was from the heart.

After eating some of the sweets and I will say, now I know why Gojo likes sweets so much.

What's the magic? Is it because I'm in a drawing world? I have never had such a delicious candy. (I couldn't find the name of the candy but it's what appears in episode 5, 8:43. Anyone who knows can tell me, I'm curious.)

I finished eating, but as soon as I finished eating Ma put another one in front of me, not that I'm complaining 1 or 3 more of this delicious candy won't hurt. (Even if he ate a lot of candy guys, yeah but thinking about Big Mom and that she doesn't have diabetes or anything like that even though her diet is based on candy makes me think that one piece physique is really something magical, Luffy he even gained immunity to poisoning because of what happened in Impel Down only recently in Wano that he was 'poisoned' you understand if you saw the episode and it lasted a long time, believe me, the prisoners were falling in a matter of seconds and Luffy held on steady until chopper does the healing, really impressive.)

'Meat or candy? Hmm... difficult but considering I'm just eating the roast beef without any seasoning maybe the beef would be better.' (I'm curious now, which do you prefer salty or sweet food? Comment there)

My train of thought was interrupted by Pa:

"Luffy, how have you been living until now?" He asked a genuine question he was worried about everything I might have gone through, from starving to being trashed.

Ma gave Pa a little nudge for asking that kind of question at this point.

"It's ok, the candy was very delicious and I don't need to hide this kind of thing from my...grandparents." I think it's going to be harder to say grandpa and grandma than I thought but time will help with that.

"I live in the forest and I hunt for food." I said remembering everything I've been through this month.

The mood cooled as I answered the question as if it was the most normal thing possible. (*drum beat* what a bad joke seriously, ghost, the weather got cold. Seriously, it sucks but it was not the intention to make a bad joke here, it's just that my brother is making a very bad joke and if he had it on my side now he would be making this one joke, so to represent my frustration with my brother I wrote what kind of joke he makes.)

Quickly understanding why the mood had become sadder, I waved my hands and said.

"No, no! I'm quite strong and I'm not alone either I made friends with some animals in the forest so we help each other"

Ma taking the opportunity to change the subject asked

"And what were you doing at our store Luffy?"

"Oh, it was to get salt, it's been a while since I ate meat with a little seasoning so I went into the store because of that."

"Oh, if that's all we have in a little more quantity since it wasn't sold much." Pa brought some Salt and placed it in front of me.

"Thanks, I will come here regularly to visit and refill the salt." I smile with mission accomplished and now I have grandparents to talk to regularly.

They knew they couldn't stop me from living in the forest from the previous conversation and they couldn't just leave the store, the only thing they can do is support Luffy in his decision.

"Okay, but visit as regularly as possible." Ma said and Pa was complementary.

"And tell everything without missing anything."

I smile at my new grandparents who recently adopted me and worry about me even though we met today.

"Okay, okay I'll come every week and if anything happens or I'm free I'll visit in advance."

Their worries were alleviated and they wanted me to get ready to go even though I've lived in the woods since I showed up.

"No need I'll be fine just the salt will be enough, I'm sure my teammates must be following my scent over here, I didn't train those little boobies they should be arriving in 5 minutes." I turned my head toward my new grandparents.

"See you next week… grandpa, grandma." I managed to pronounce it sooner than I expected, but with a little difficulty because of my old grandparents.

They hugged me around me, it was weird since they weren't physical and made of ectoplasm but it was comforting.

"I'm going" I prepared myself to raise the ventilation.

"You can walk out the front door we'll open it for you." Pa said before he opened the door I quickly refused.

"It's not necessary and I need to close the vent." I stretched my arm towards the vent.

My new grandparents were so surprised by my arm stretching that if they had been alive they would have had a heart attack.

"Shishi! I'm made of rubber, I'll be back in a week and recover from the shock it looks like you saw a ghost." He left with a laugh.

They are still in shock but soon Pa started to laugh a little.

"What's the fun dear?" Ma was still a little in shock looking at the duct.

"Our new grandson is quite naughty he has barely been adopted and is already making fun of the elders." Pa shook his head in disapproval but as his feelings contradicted his body he had a smile on his face.

Soon Ma started laughing at the joke Luffy made before leaving, momentarily delaying the discussion about his grandson being rubber but considering they are ghosts it shouldn't be that hard to have a grandson that's very different from normal.

As soon as I screwed up the vent and ran away as fast as I could, I don't want my companions to invade the city looking for me I know them and they didn't mind doing that.

Quickly exits gravity falls continuously accelerating my speed to the maximum, making sure there are no nearby residents and knowing that Iron will make a noise with its size.

Quickly approaching them as silently as possible for a surprise attack, I knew they were catching my scent so I had to be quick.

Ravi quickly stopped and everyone stopped to see what happened, Ravi noticed the silent atmosphere.

'What pride, you learned everything I taught you' An imaginary tear of pride came out of my eyes.

As I was detected I started to run around and make occasional noises, throwing rocks at distant places and running in the leaves of the trees, thus distracting the opponent with the unknown number of opponents.

'Ravi will have trouble detecting me by sound now, so that's all..'

Ravi would sniff to see what kind of enemies they were dealing with and how many scents there are in the air to find out how many.

Knowing what Ravi intended to do I grabbed a rock and quickly threw it at Ravi to distract him, strong enough not to be blocked by third parties like Iron.

Ravi being alerted by his instincts quickly ducked and backed away simultaneously.

'Eh~ Seems like Ravi learned well to save his moves in a month, needs polishing but looks great in just a month'

I activated gear second after stopping for a moment and accelerated as much as possible on their return wanting to know their next move.

Ravi who almost got hit by a rock and caused a serious injury, after getting up and looking around again had sound from all sides as if several enemies were moving at the same time.

Ravi knew that if he tried to detect by smell again he would be attacked and knew that it would be faster than the previous one or in greater quantity, now that the other party is much more aggressive than in the beginning as if to say not to try to detect him again.

They were already in formation by the time they discovered the enemy with Iron in the middle like a defensive tower.

They're getting pretty tense about the potentially powerful and deadly enemy they're going to have to face when Luffy.

They're getting pretty tense about the potentially powerful and deadly enemy they're going to have to face when Luffy is out and in potential danger, they don't even know their situation.

'Do I do this...? It can be cruel but it is necessary in case it happens in the future.' Coming to a conclusion I tore a piece of my clothing tied it to a rock and threw it in front of them.

*thump*thum

Everyone looked in the possible direction of the attack, but it was just a stone with a cloth tied around it but...

*Aggressive growl

Ravi knew that fabric very well and its fragrance was felt by the short distance and wind created by the opponent's movement, it was a part of Luffy's outfit.

He was furious wanting to find his opponent immediately so he could take out all his anger and know his father's location, some tears came out amid his fury, he didn't want to lose his new father again...NO! HE DENIED IT AND WOULD DO EVERYTHING TO MAKE IT NOT HAPPEN!!!

He ordered the immediate attack as soon as his opponent reveals himself full attack and avoid casualties to win.

Feeling the feelings Ravi was feeling I felt a little guilty but it also showed me that I'm just as important to him as he is to me a smile broke out on my face.

But...

*Ping

One drop... there were tears on Ravi's face but he didn't have time to represent his sadness and his hatred overlap but I knew Ravi was suffering from fear of what might have happened to me, despair of the worst and hope that I'm okay.

I quickly punched the tree furthest from me.

*BOOM

Making her explode and drawing their attention that way, taking advantage of the brief moment of distraction I ran to Ravi.

Feeling someone approaching too quickly with no time to react he thought it was the end of him but he thought he could meet them on the other side.

Ravi quickly had his perspective shattered as he was wrapped so lovingly and warmly in a hug.

Coming back to his senses he saw his father hugging him, after less than a brief moment of a second passed, which for Ravi was much longer, the others returned to Ravi feeling movement but saw Luffy hugging Ravi.

They were surprised at first, then relief and then excitement that he was back safe and sound.

They were going to jump on me if I didn't notice the weather.

"...I'm sorry Ravi, I didn't mean to make you cry" I wiped away his hateful tears from him moments ago.

Ravi remained quiet just looking at me.

"I wanted to test you on what you've learned this month and keep your emotion under control even if I'm gone and the enemy takes advantage of it... I want you to keep your wits about you and think calmly... but I think I'm rushing too much. things, you're still young and a lot of room to grow... Know something I'm proud of you and how you handled the situation." I smiled at them as Ravi started licking me and then was attacking me with his tongue.

"Hahaha! Stop! It's tickling too much" Soon the rest of them started licking me all over my body.

After they settled down and walked away, I was smeared with saliva.

"Now I need a good~ shower." I laughed a little at how much they licked me.

And my hair was a mess from Ravi too.

Everyone is laughing, I'll record this moment in my head since we don't have a camera but I'm sure it's full HD in my brain.

It's going to be one of the good times I'll remember.' I thought with a smile.

"Let's go home, I have a surprise for you today except for Iron I'm sorry, maybe you won't like it but I'll make something for you soon." I thought I'd collect some honey to sweeten Iron's fruits in case he doesn't like salt in his vegetables.

.

.

.

Arriving at the camp I see that they prepare the meat and they have improved a lot since the last time.

The meat was still on the fire but there was little wood to keep the fire low.

"You've learned a lot, compared to the last time this is considered a huge improvement." I said giving my thumbs up.

They were proud of their growth.

"It needs a little frying, but you can keep the fire that way and just keep turning the meat. I'll be back after I take a shower."

One hour later...(If you didn't understand the reference, you didn't have a childhood. I wanted to talk twenty minutes but I changed my mind due to the context)

I came back smelling that the meat was done and impressively my belly didn't-

*Snoring

*Sigh

'It's just me thinking about what you do it in... or maybe it's the smell of ready-to-eat food.'

"Looks like the meat is ready now the finishing touch." I took the salt I was taking with me and sprinkled a moderate but well-distributed amount over the meat.

"Alright now we can share and we all enjoy this delicious meal." I started by devouring my piece of meat.

"UMAI!!!(DELICIOUS!!!)" And I quickly devoured the meat that was on another level compared to the previous one.

A pinch of salt works wonders.

'Imagine if I add the other seasonings like pepper or Himalayan salt, *urgh* so many options'

I was drooling thinking about it but I decided to put aside that there are more important things than that.

After you finish eating and everyone rests for another day to pass.

'Do I need to train my stealth? No Ravi just discovered me because he was too quiet and followed my tips but maybe I should go harder in training and start learning busoshoku hardening.'

Caressing the Ravi who's still on top of me even after I've grown a little.

"Good evening Ravi Iron, sorry to worry you I was busy with some problems I ran into along the way." I said while remembering all the things that happened today and something that marked me a little.

'I need to get stronger so that I can protect what is precious to me even if the world throws itself against me!' I clenched my fists with that conviction.

And I ended the day with a good night's sleep.
