Ch. 4 The Mystery Shack Museum and Gift Shop

Talulla stepped out of the bedroom and stood in the hallway. Her chocolate brown eyes blinked when she heard voices and laughter above her. She looked at her surroundings and spotted a staircase passing Stan's bedroom.

' Mabel and Dipper's room should be there,' Talulla internally speaks. She walks towards the stairs and lifts her head, seeing a closed door. She carefully walks up the stairs and knocks on the door.

" It's open!" Mabel shouts from the other side of the door.

Talulla opens the door and steps inside. Her chocolate brown eyes blinked when she saw her younger brother sitting on his bed, unpacking his belongings on the left side of the room. Meanwhile, her younger sister was putting up colorful posters on the right side of the room.

" Hey, LuLu," Mabel waved when she saw her older sister.

" You two are staying in the Attic?" Talulla raised an eyebrow.

" Yeah," Dipper nodded.

" Are you guys comfortable being in the Attic? I wouldn't mind you two taking my room downstairs," Talulla looks at her younger siblings worryingly.

Mabel and Dipper looked at each other and then at Talulla. " We're cool in this room. Dipper has his side of the room, and I have my side of the room," Mabel reassured.

" Dipper," Talulla's chocolate brown eyes intently stared at her younger brother.

" I'll get used to this room," Dipper reassured.

" You know this Attic is amazing!" Mabel turns her gaze to her siblings. " Check out all my splinters," She held her hands up, revealing huge splinters on her fingers.

Talulla's chocolate brown eyes widen, looking at her younger sister in concern. " Mabel! You need to be more careful. Let me get my first aid kit from my room," She turns and quickly heads down the stairs to her bedroom.

A few minutes later, Talulla walked back up to the twins' bedroom and raised an eyebrow when she saw a goat on Dipper's bed, munching on his hat.

" Where did that goat come from?" Talulla asked while walking towards Mabel's bed and sitting down.

" Ah! There's a goat on my bed," Dipper suddenly realized when he saw the goat munching on his hat. He scoots himself away from the animal and stares at it warily. " I don't know where that thing came from," He stuttered.

Talulla opens the first-aid kit and pulls out a Tweezer and disinfectant. She takes her younger sister's hand and forces her to sit down, to which Mabel complies.

Talulla begins to take the splinters out of her younger sister's fingers and disinfect them. Once she finished, she grabbed a bandaged and carefully bandaged each of Mabel's fingers.

" I shall call him Gompers since he likes to chew on stuff," Mabel snickered when she saw that the goat started munching on her sleeve.

" No. Shoo! Shoo!" Talulla gently pushed the goat away from her and her younger sister.

" Baaa!" Gompers turns, jumps on the desk and hops out of the Attic's window.

The Pines siblings stared at the Attic's window with mixed emotions. Dipper noticed Talulla looking at him to check up on the goat. He nods and stands, walking towards the Attic's window.

Dipper poked his head and looked at his surroundings, spotting Gompers on the rooftop. " He's alive. He's on the rooftop," He reenters the room and turns to look at his sisters.

" Yay!" Mabel cheered, looking relieved. " Thanks for bandaging my fingers, LuLu," She turns and smiles at her older sister.

" You welcome. Let's head downstairs to the living room," Talulla stands and walks out of the bedroom with the twins following her.

Talulla and the twins enter the living room, and they turn to see Stan dressed in formal attire.

" What happened to your muscle shirt, shorts, and sandals?" Dipper asked.

" I changed since Soos just informed me we have tourists approaching," Stan tried to fix his tie.

Talulla noticed the crooked tie and approached Stan. " Let me fix it for you," She grabbed the tie and fixed it.

" Thanks," Stan murmured while briefly staring at Talulla's hands. " Before you, three head out to explore the town, want to check out the Museum?" He asked. " You guys are welcome to get something from the Gift Shop, too," He glanced at the twins.

Mabel and Dipper looked at each other and then at Talulla. " Sure!" Talulla nodded.

" Follow me," Stan motioned the Pines siblings to follow him. He turns and escorts his Grandnieces and Grand-nephew to the Mystery Shack's Museum and Gift Shop.

" This is the Mystery Shack's Museum," Stan walked through an orange curtain and stepped inside the Museum. He turns on the lights, turns around, and holds his arms out for a dramatic effect.

The Pines siblings walked through the orange curtain and stepped inside the Museum. They looked at their surroundings with mixed emotions.

" There's so much cool stuff!" Mabel exclaimed while running around to touch some of the artifacts.

" Mabel! You shouldn't be touching things," Dipper runs after his older twin.

Talulla and Stan stood next to each other and watched the twins try to not make a mess in the Museum.

" What do you think?" Stan asked while turning to look at Talulla.

" Um. Do you want the brutal truth or the sweet lie?" Talulla asked while turning to look at Stan.

" You are my niece," Stan amusingly chuckled.

" Are you a real businessman, or is this a cover-up for something else?" Talulla asked.

Stan and Talulla intently stared at each other.

' Not only does she have my brutal honesty, but she also has Point-Dexter's brain,' Stan internally speaks.

" You know, to make a living, you have to come up with something," Stan shrugged. " We are trying to survive and make sure everyone has clothes on their body, food in their mouth, and shelter over their heads," He looks at Talulla.

Talulla hummed. " True. Even though scamming people is terrible, if you are doing it for the right reasons, maybe it's not that bad," She softly smiled.

" You get me," Stan affectionately ruffled Talulla's long wavy brown hair.

Talulla giggled and smiled at Stan. " So, I have to come up with stories about these creatures that somehow live in Gravity Falls," She glanced at the unique artifacts.

" Yes. You could tell these Tourists that they are the Legends of Gravity Falls," Stan grinned.

" Got it," Talulla nodded. " And behind us is the Gift Shop?" She turns to stare at the Gift Shop.

" Hey. I'm here. I'm here," A feminine voice grabbed Stan and Talulla's attention. They looked to see a fifteen-year-old female with red hair and green eyes enter the Mystery Shack via the Gift Shop.

" Wendy Conroy. Just in time. You have the day off," Stan speaks.

Wendy stops walking and stares at Stan in disbelief. " I must be living in an alternate universe," She murmured.

Stan annoyingly rolled his chocolate brown eyes. " Meet my niece, Talulla Pines. She will be working here during the Summer. I want you to show her around Gravity Falls. You know, make her feel at home," He puts his hands on his Grandniece's shoulders and stands behind her.

" Sweet! A day off and making a new friend. Just my luck," Wendy grinned. " My name is Wendy Cor-du-roy," She pronounced her surname for Talulla since Stan said it wrong.

" Nice to meet you, Wendy. My name is Ta-lul-la Pines," Talulla introduced herself, and the two females shook hands.

Wendy's green eyes blinked when she saw that Talulla had six fingers. " Neat. Extra fingers are good if you want to text people faster," She looked at her new friend and smiled.

Talulla blushes, feeling flattered by the somewhat compliment.

" You two should go have fun. I will look after the little tykes," Stan points to the twins. Talulla saw her younger sister grab a grappling hook while her younger brother went to get a hat since Gompers ate his earlier.

" Mabel! Dipper!" Talulla calls out, grabbing the twins' attention. " Be on your best behavior. I'm going out and will be home late," She informs her younger siblings.

" Where are you going?" Dipper asked. He looks at Talulla, and his chocolate brown eyes widen when he sees Wendy for the first time. " Um. Hello," He stuttered and blushed.

" Hey," Wendy waved and smiled at Dipper.

" Going to hang out with Wendy, and she will show me around. She will then introduce me to the local teens," Talulla smiles at Wendy.

" Yup. We should get going. See you later, Mr. Pines. It was nice meeting you, Talulla's kid brother and sister," Wendy waves goodbye. She turns and walks out of the Gift Shop.

" Bye, everyone! Dipper. Mabel. Listen to whatever Grunkle Stan tells you, and don't wander off by yourselves," Talulla waves goodbye and blows kisses to her younger siblings.

Dipper adorably pouted since he wanted to hang out with Talulla, Wendy, and the older kids. He turns to look at his older twin and Stan.

" So, that's what you two want?" Stan asked while pointing at the hat on Dipper's head and the grappling hook on Mabel's right hand.

Dipper and Mabel looked at each other and nodded.

" Alright. I got to get to work. So, you two should hang out and explore the Mystery Shack. But, my room, office, and the snack machine are off-limits," Stan sternly speaks. He turns around and walks away to meet up with Soos so that they can greet the Tourists.
