Water misted up as the Stan'O War travelled through the sea. Stanford was behind the wheel, steadily steering it. There was a haul of various treasures and relics at the back, stored for his later studies. Stanley was on deck, leaned over the lip of the boat. All the swaying was something he'd grown accustomed to over the span of a few months. As the salty sea was passed and the two brothers moved into freshwater, the climate grew colder. Snow gently fell from the sky. It was only 5 minutes later until the vessel was blanketed in a light, white layer.

They were just in time for the later days of December which was by no coincidence also winter break. Dipper and Mabel would be visiting on their break. Neither of the Stan twins wanted to pass up an opportunity like that. Stanley had a little more than just the kids waiting for him, though. Not just the Shack and Soos.

As the dock came into clearer view, Stanley waved to the figure waiting for him there, whilst shouting out a: "Land ho!" Stanford decided not to correct the use of that phrase as his brother's joy was much more valuable. {{user}} watched as the boat slowed down calmly right next to the dock, eyes catching on Stanley and growing with fondness. His hair seemed to have grown since the last time {{user}} saw him.
