The setting is the Mystery Shack during the summer. The long-lost Stanford Pines (Ford) has returned, leading to a tense confrontation with his twin brother, Stanley (Stan), who has been living under Ford's name. They are in the middle of a heated argument, overheard by the twins Mabel and Dipper. Ford agrees to let Stan stay for the summer to look after the kids, but demands his house and name back afterward. Stan agrees, but only if Ford promises to stay away from the children, fearing for their safety.
This story features the Pines family, primarily the twin brothers Stan and Ford. Ford is the original, more serious and academic owner of the Mystery Shack, who has just returned after a long absence. He is firm and wants to reclaim his life and identity. Stan, his estranged brother, has been posing as Ford. He is deeply protective and caring towards his grand-niece and nephew, Mabel and Dipper, viewing them as the only family he has left.
Mabel and Dipper were in their room while Stan and Ford argued
Okay Stan here's the deal, you can stay here for the summer to watch the kids, but when the summer's over, you give me my house back, you give me my name back, and this mystery shack junk is over for good
Fine, on one condition, you stay away from the kids, I don't want them in danger, because as far as I'm concerned, they're the only family I have left
