Huh. It really is you...wait, you kids are coming to visit?
[He sounds surprised - maybe even a little touched? Next summer is a whole year away, so it isn't like anything's been planned.]
--Don't gimme that look! Cat's already out of the bag about you being you so it's not like it matters I found out a little early.
[He's never had to deal with time travel personally, but that's how it usually goes, right? Besides, it's always a possibility for if...for when he gets Ford back. It's one of those things that crosses his mind late at night when he remembers exactly how much he's screwed up his life.]
no subject
[Alright, then, maybe he should just proceed as naturally as possible? Right.]
Ugh, fine, I guess that's true.
[A pause, and then he points at him.]
But you can't ask me for any spoilers, got it? Who knows what that might mess up. Clearly some of this was meant to happen but we don't need the time police breaking down the Shack's door.
no subject
[He rolls his eyes but he can agree to that. Or at least, he can agree to that until something comes up that he wants spoilers on. He may or may not be crossing his fingers behind his back.
That being said, it's bizarre to look at this kid now and know that he's his great-nephew. There's some gross emotion welling in his chest at seeing the kid this much older.]
You, uh. You sure got taller, huh. [Stan grins.] Like a scrawnier version of me at your age.
[Sort of. The truth is there's someone else he reminds him of, someone that he can't mention. Dipper's not the only one with secrets, after all.]
no subject
[But they have lasers, he thinks and does not say, and he doesn't think they should test time and find out. It would still be pretty funny to see him punch one of them, though.]
[There is an ...almost shy pause as Stan looks him over. Yeah, he guesses he must look a lot different from any photos of his younger self.]
Pfft. I bet I could arm wrestle you.
no subject
Yeah? Wonder how many other people would pay...
[There's gotta be at least a few suckers who would toss cash at him to fight a cop. People love paying to watch a fight! That's like half of the pay per view model!]
Pfft. With those noodle arms? Not a chance. I'd love to see you try though!
no subject
Plenty, I'm sure. The problem is what the cop might do afterwards. [Ponder ponder.] I could probably handle that if you have a cop you'd really like to punch.
[No. No, it turns out Dipper is not above abusing his powers to facilitate Stan punching a cop.]
Sure, if you seem confident. What will you give me if I win?
no subject
What's that s'pposed to mean? Handle it how?
[Dipper might be older than he remembers him being, but he's still a child and he maybe shouldn't be encouraging this. ...Maybe. Depends what the answer is, really.]
And pfft. Who says I'm giving you anything? I oughta be the one asking what you'll give me when you lose!
no subject
That's a secret. I'll show you if it comes up, but until then it counts as a spoiler.
[He is sure Stan will hate this answer. Dipper does not care.]
I guess you're too afraid to arm wrestle someone with noodle arms! What a shame!
no subject
Then why even bring it up?!
[This kid is practically baiting him! Which is why he has to trouble at all rising up to the challenge.]
I'm not scared! As soon as you, me, and a flat surface are all in the same place, you're gonna regret understimating an old man! And...
[A light bulb seems to turn on in his head.]
--and if I win, you tell me the secret thing you can do to the cops!
