[The thing that is most disturbing about that statement, for Dipper at least, is how closely it resembled his reaction to being stuck here. Not for the same reasons, of course. He hasn't really talked much to his parents since he arrived at Gravity Falls, and while his feelings about Grunkle Stan might be mixed sometimes, he doesn't actually want to be away from the man. Still, the opportunity to explore a place as mysterious as Wonderland for as long as he'd like without any consequence or chance of being yelled at by Grunkle Stan has been pretty fun.

The fact that "as long as he'd like" may end up being "way longer than he'd like" is something he's trying hard not to think about.]

Uh, yeah, I guess. But if you're planning a weird rebellious phase or something don't expect me and Mabel to wait up when we find a way out.
