☆Lancelot du Lac☆

Gravity Falls, Oregon 2013.

“Ah summer break… a time for leisure, recreation, or if you just want to take it easy… .. Well, unless you're me.”

-

Dipper and Mabel crashed through the "Welcome to Gravity Falls" sign with their golf cart. They both were screaming as they drove down into the woods. The two twins were being chased by a huge unknown monster, which was knocking down most of the tall pine trees that were in its way trying to grab a hold of the cart. As Mabel was driving the cart, Dipper had turned back to see the monster, and so he yelled out “It's getting closer, Mabel!” He shrieked. The monster had growled in response, reaching out to their cart before only slightly missing as the cart hit a rock and the cart was sent flying in the air. The cart had hit the ground again roughly.

-

“My name is Mabel, Mabel Pines. The boy who looks like he is about to throw up is my twin brother, Dipper. You might be wondering what we're doing in a golf cart, fleeing from a creature of unimaginable horror.”

-

Once the cart had landed again the monster behind them had grabbed a huge tree from the ground and chucked it at them from afar. “Look OUT!!” Dipper screamed and soon after Mabel had done as well.

-

“Rest assured.. There is a perfect logical explanation.. Let's Rewind.. It all started when our parents decided we needed well.. fresh air.”

-

In Piedmont, California, the twins were sitting in the living room. Dipper was adding stickers to his sticker collection as Mabel was writing a book about “Sea Otters." Their parents rolled their eyes at the twins and then took their items off their hands and replaced it with a book bag of clothes and other necessities.

-

“They shipped us up north to a town called Gravity Falls, Oregon, to stay at our great-uncle's place in the middle of the woods.”

-

In the attic of the Murder Hut, Dipper was hanging up posters of BABBA - which is a music band that Dipper had loved ever since their first album had dropped. “This Attic is amazing!!!” Dipper had said with his eyes looking around as he held out his hand “Check out all my splinters, Mab!!” Dipper giggled. Mabel had rolled her eyes as she went to look at her bed. There was a small possum who was tamed but still had eyes that looked like it might go feral any second. “Andddd there's a possum on my bed” Mabel sighs as Dipper went to Mabel's bed and grabbed the possum with care, he had seen a collar on the possum that had a name carved on it. The name had said Shanklin” Dipper smiled at the possum and gave it a big hug “Hey Shanklin!” Dipper giggled after the possum had bit at Dipper's blue sweater. “Ooo this little guy is a biter!” Dipper had laughed.

-

“My brother tended to look on the bright side about this trip..”

-

2 hours after the twins had arrived at Gravity Falls, after they had unpacked, Dipper quickly dragged Mabel outside. Mabel was unimpressed as she sat on the grass annoyed. Dipper, on the other hand, was rolling in the grass saying “Yay! Grass!” As Mabel’s headband was being poked by a woodpecker.

-

“But.. I was well, having a tough time getting used to the surroundings… The vibe off our great-uncle was well… off”

-

Mabel was grabbing milk out of the fridge and she was about to pour a glass of milk for herself as her great-uncle Ford had walked in so quietly that she didn't even hear him and he just stood in the doorway watching her. Once Mabel had poured her milk, she turned around and was about to leave the kitchen when she screamed as she saw her uncle watching. “Can I help you- Great Uncle F-Ford?” Mabel asked, looking up at him, confused. Ford shook his head and left the kitchen doorway.

-

“Our Great Uncle Ford was, well, to put it lightly.. a whole mystery. When we first arrived at Gravity Falls, he wasn't there to pick us up from the bus stop. We had to walk for an hour until we found his shack. Plus, when we showed up at his door, he looked surprised as if he didn't know he was supposed to watch us for the summer.”

-

Mabel and Dipper had managed to find the shack where their uncle had lived since apparently his shack was a tourist trap, and many individuals in the town had known where the shack was. After the twins had arrived at the shack or what the townspeople call it “The Murder Hut”... although it was definitely a shack. They had gone to knock at the door, and soon appeared an old man with eyes that looked like he hadn't slept in 5 weeks looked at the two twins with a face that Mabel couldn't even decipher. It was a face that was of ‘Why the hell are there two kids in the middle of the night standing at his doorstep?’ Dipper had jumped in delight as he waved to the man “Hi! Are you Stanford Pines?! I'm your nephew, Dipper! Over there, the quiet, shy one is my twin sister Mabel! I'm assuming you were busy running your tourist thing, so you forgot about us at the bus stop, but that's okay!” Dipper said happily. The older man blinked in surprise and muttered under his breath… although Mabel didn't get to hear what he said. (He did allow them in the shack right after he had agreed he was their Great Uncle… although he had told the kids there wasn't space for them, so he shoved the twins into the attic

“Our Great Uncle Ford ran the ‘Murder Hut’ although he would always tell the tourists it was real, at the end of the tour you would hear many tourists say how fake it is and that they only go to help give money to the poor sad old man who… they assumed had a mental problem… if I wasn't into the paranormal… I would probably believe them.. and well, since Dipper and I had come to visit this summer where the tours are busy, guess who had to clean up after the tours..”

Mabel was sweeping the wooden floors in the gift shop as Dipper was staring at axolotl in its tank. He went to touch the tank as soon as he did, and his hand got smacked away by Stanford. “Don't touch that.” He muttered out before leaving the gift shop to go outside to do whatever he does. Dipper rubs his hand, making a small whimper sound “Ow… our uncle hits hard.. Well, for an old guy, he definitely does!” Dipper had tried to make a joke about it to hide the pain in his hand. Mabel went up to her brother to check his hand. It was slightly red but not too bad. “You okay bro, bro?” Mabel asked as Dipper nodded, ruffling Mabels hair “Yeah I'm okay, sis, sis.. it doesn't hurt anymore” He had smiled to Mabel, who had smiled back

“We both thought that this would be our routine all summer long until… one summer day”

Mabel and Dipper were in the gift shop chilling as Robbie and Melody were working the shop, luckily for the twins they were on break. Mabel was sitting in a chair reading a book about “Gravitational Pull.” Dipper on the other hand was behind the chair that Mabel was sitting on reading her book staring at a brown hair girl who had found a note in her pocket, she pulled it out and started to read it.

“She's reading it! She's reading it! ” Dipper whispered quietly to Mabel who looked up to see what Dipper was talking about.

The girl who had the note at hand read it out loud “Do you like me? Yes, Definitely.. Absolutely??” She said gasping before looking around the shop before she crumbled the piece of paper, threw it in the trash, and left the shop.

“Aw man.. maybe I needed to add more sparkles” Dipper muttered disappointed as Mabel sighed “Hey Dip Dop, I know you're going through this whole ‘Girl Crazy’ phase… but um I think you're kinda over doing it with the crazy part??” Mabel said as she made finger quotations when she said ‘Girl Crazy.’

“Whatt??” Dipper said, blowing a raspberry. “Come onnnnn, Mabel! This is our first summer away from the city! This is my chance to get a super awesome girlfriend” Dipper exclaimed, putting his hands on his hips like a superhero.

Mabel shrugs “Well… Yeah but..” She had paused “Do you need to flirt with every girl you meet?”

-

A week ago, Dipper was visiting town, he had found lots of cute girls he had wanted to talk to.. although he didn't necessarily do a good job on well.. talking to them.

Dipper was near a cute girl who was wearing a summer dress. She was standing near an ice cream stand. Dipper had appeared behind her stalkishly.. “Hey! My name is Dipper, but you can call me "The boy of your dreams~” Dipper said smirking while the girl gave him a creepy stare, which made Dipper uneasy and ran off saying “I'M JOKING!!!” After Dipper had left that girl, he had found another girl holding a cat. Dipper went up behind the bench where she sat. “Oh my god, you like cats?! I like cats too! What is happening here?!” Dipper grinned pointing to himself and then her… (the girl took her cat and walked away annoyed) Dipper disappointed walked away, he was about to walk by to the shack until he saw a girl with a princess outside holding balloons in the mattress store. Dipper had snuck in and hid behind a balloon stand as the lady started her speech. “ Come all get your balloons here!” She had said as Dipper whispered creepily “Take me with you” The girl had screamed, dropped her fake crown and ran out of the store.

Mabel was staring at her brother daydreaming of probably all the times he had tried to talk to girls in the past week. Once Dipper came back to reality he had pointed at Mabel.

“Mock all you want, sis sis, but I got a good feeling about this summer. I wouldn't be surprised if the girl of my dreams walked through that door right now!” Dipper said, crossing his arms.

After he had said those words, their Great Uncle Ford had walked in with a cup of coffee as he sipped it. Ford's face was covered with what seemed to be shaving cream all over his beard area.

“Pfft Girl” Mabel had snickered at her brother who let out a small gasp and smacked Mabel's arm gently. “Ugh!” Dipper groaned as Ford looked over to the both of them.

“Is something wrong?” Ford has asked which the twins shook their heads. Ford shrugged, looking around the gift shop almost frantically before he bent down to the two twins. “Listen kids, I need you two to hang up…these tourist signs…” Ford had said as he pulled out 4 small triangle shape signs with a huge red x cross covering the triangle ‘sign’. Mabel and Dipper both looked at each other, then at their uncle, then the sign..

“Um- Great Uncle Ford are you sure this is a… tourist sign?” Mabel asked as Dipper nodded in agreement of what Mabel said.

“Yeah this looks like some voodoo triangle!” Dipper said, slightly worried and somehow slightly excited.

Ford rolled his eyes and then glanced at his other two workers who were in the gift shop right now, Wendy and Soos.

Wendy was a gothic teenager who always wore a black hoodie that had a heart stitched in with gray thread. She would also sometimes be seen in blue ripped jeans or just plain gray jeans. Wendy only started to work at the ‘Murder Hut’ because of the name. She thought it would be a cool teenager hot spot. It turns out she was wrong, and now only continues to work there because Stanford gives her 800 dollars every Thursday.

Soos, on the other hand, started to work at the Murder Hut since he was little, although he only works here part-timed. He had long brown hair, which he would always wear in a ponytail with a lavender hair tie. His clothing would never really change, Ford had always seen him wear the same baggy blue shorts and a lemonyish color shirt.

Ford pointed at Wendy and Soos “Hey, you two! Can you hang these up?” Ford asked as he pulled out the triangle crossed out ‘sign’ to show the other two workers.

Soos shook his head “Ah Sorry Dr. Pines, but I can’t… I need to get ready to go to my second job if that’s alright?” Soos asked as he took a sip of a soda can.

Ford nodded “Yes, Soos that is alright with me… Now what about you Wendy?” He asked Wendy who was already giving him a look of disgust for even asking her.

Ford coughed as he seemingly knew that meant no from Wendy. So he sighs, rubbing his forehead in the process as he looks at the twins again, giving them the signs. “You two gotta go do it, don't ask questions.” He had said before walking away into the shack again.

Mabel and Dipper had both groaned at the same time as they made their way outside the shack going into the woods to hang up the ‘signs.’

-

“Ugh! This isn’t fair… I don’t want to be out here hanging up these weird triangle signs!” Mabel had groaned as she hammered in a nail into a tree as Dipper sat nearby on a log munching on some blue Doritos.

”Calm down, sis, sis! You are like… um almost..halfway done???” Dipper mumbled out unsure of himself. He then had looked to his side where the other triangle signs were… There were over 20 left, and Mabel had only managed to hang up 10.

Mabel groaned as she walked over to a different tree and went to nail in another triangle. However, as soon as the nail hit the tree, a metallic sound was heard from the two twins.

Dipper glanced over to Mabel in confusion. In which Mabel looked back and shugged.

Mabel went over to the tree and placed her ear right next to the tree as she grabbed the hammer and hit it one more time. There was some dust that flew in the air after she had hit it… so she wiped the dust from the tree which revealed a mechanical box with two control switches on top. Mabel went to go test one of the controls but nothing happened.

“Huh…weird” Mabel muttered before she went to try the other one.

“Mabel…look!” Dipper said, pointing to the mysterious hatch that had opened up from the ground behind his sister.

Mabel turned around and looked down to see what was inside the hatch. There was a red leathered book with a gold rim around it and well the book was covered in dust and cobwebs. Mabel grabbed the book then wiped the dust away from

the front cover which revealed what looked like a scratched off golden handprint with a number imprinted on it that Mabel couldn't decipher.

Mabel looked at her twin brother to make sure he wasn't paying attention, and to her not very of a surprise he was distracted playing with a butterfly. “Phew” Mabel had thought as she went to open the book and in the first page of the book there was a “Property Of —-” and then there was nothing else.

Mabel flipped to a different page and then started to read what was on the page.. "It's hard to believe it's been six years since I began studying the strange and wondrous secrets of Gravity Falls, Oregon."

Mabel then flipped around the book in which the pages flew which showed floating eyeballs, giant vampire bats, and gnomes were shown. She then stopped at another page, which had the words “TRUST NO ONE" in red ink, and then below it said.. "Unfortunately, my suspicions have been confirmed. He is still watching me. I must hide this book before —---- find it.. Remember, in Gravity Falls, there is no one you can trust."

Mabel closed the book and repeated the words “There's no one you can trust” she mumbled out before —

“HELLO MABEL!” Dipper shouted out behind her as he grabbed her shoulders -

Mabel screamed and tried to hit Dipper with the book as self defense…. it didn't really work out.

Dipper had laughed then glanced down to the book “Whatcha readin Mabe, some nerd thing?” Dipper asked as he tried to grab the book from Mabel's hands. Mabel quickly go out of Dippers hold and shoved the book behind her back

“Ummm Nothing?” Mabel said awkwardly Dipper rolled his eyes and started to repeat what Mabel said but in his pretending to be Mabel's voice.

“Are you really not gonna show me?” Dipper said sadly as Shanklin came out of nowhere and started to nibble on the side of the journal that was behind Mabel’s back.

Mabel sighed then looked beside her of Shanklin chewing the side of the book and then back at her twin. “Let's go somewhere private Dip”

—---

Mabel and Dipper were in the living room, Mabel was sitting on the couch as Dipper was sitting on the arm of the couch..

“Check this Dipper! According to this book, Gravity Falls has this secret dark side.” Mabel said as she flipped to a random page to show Dipper.

“Woahh no way!!” Dipper gasped as he playfully pushed Mabel as Mabel giggled and flips to a different page.

“And get this! After a certain point, the pages just… stop- like the person who wrote it just straight up abandoned it!” Mabel was babbling on and on until suddenly the doorbell rang “Who's that?” Mabel questioned as Dipper got off the couch excited.

“Well I suppose it's time to spill the beans,” Dipper said as he went to the end table and actually knocked an empty can of beans off it. “This man has a date! Look at me go Mabel!” Dipper said excitedly as he fell onto the couch next to Mabel who rolled her eyes.

“...Dipper… let me understand this right, you got a girlfriend in the half hour we were both outside?!” Mabel said as her eyes widened standing up from the couch “Bro bro how?!”

Dipper laughed as he looked at Mabel upside down since he was on the couch upside down. “What can I say Mabel? I'm irresistible” he laughed as he gave Mabel a semi-peace sign although not really because of his long sleeves from his sweater.

The doorbell had rung again and Dipper got off the couch quickly and ran past Mabel screaming “COMING!” Mabel had rolled her eyes and sat back on the couch again reading the journal.

However, Ford had entered the room with a newspaper in his hands he quickly glanced at Mabel and then back at the newspaper “What are you reading?” He asked…although it was more of a statement.

Mabel quickly shoved the journal behind her back and grabbed a newspaper from the end table “U-um.. I was just catching up on the...BABBA released new album?” Mabel had said as Ford glanced at Mabel's newspaper and made a “hm” sound.

“I need to check that new album,” Ford muttered out as Dipper bursted into the room.

“Family! Say Hello to my newwwwww girlfriend!” Dipper said as he stepped aside for a somewhat emo looking chick walked in. The girl was wearing a black hoodie with ripped up jeans and black boots. Her hair was black and there was small red stuff on the corner of her face.

The girl looked at Mabel and then at Ford and then she lifted up her left hand “Sup” she had said

Ford and Mabel both glanced at each other and then Mabel shrugged and said “Hey girl.” Ford however didn't say anything, just put up his hand and then quickly down.

Dipper leaned against his girlfriend's shoulder “We saw each other outside and we both just, you know, clicked!”

Mabel looked Dipper's girlfriend up and down “What's your name?” Mabel had asked crossing her arms

The girl had tensed up and then looked side to side “Uhhh Nor… Mal?” The girl had said as Dipper giggled.

“She means Norma!” Dipper said happily

Mabel shrugged then looked at Norma closer there was what seemed to be blood dripping down her face “Um hey girl… I think you are bleeding?” Mabel pointed out as Norma shook her head no. “It's jam,” she muttered.

Dipper gasped and looked at Norma then her family “I love Jam!” Norma coughed then looked at Dipper “Soo wanna hold hands or um..” she had asked as Dipper grabbed her hand and ran out the door with her. Then quickly ran back in to say his goodbyes then ran out again.

Ford shrugged and walked out of the room muttering words about how romance was stupid. However Mabel on the otherside found her twin brother's new girlfriend… suspicious.

Mabel had walked up to the attic to sit on one of the sofas that was located up there to read her new journal that she had found. “Known for their pale skin and bad attitudes, these creatures are often mistaken for... teenagers?! Beware Gravity Falls nefarious…” Mabel looked at the next page to see a zombie and in her brain she thought of Dipper's girlfriend.

“ZOMBIES??” she screamed so loud it echoed throughout the house

—

While Mabel was in the middle of screaming. Ford was sitting on his chair writing stuff in a notebook as he glanced up and looked around “Did some…one say crombie? That's not even a word.. although maybe in some language it is.. I need to research that.” Ford thought as he shrugged and went back to writing.

—

Mabel looked outside the triangle shaped window to see Dipper and Norma outside as Norma walked closer to Dipper. Mabel could faintly hear Dipper say “I like you” Mabel got closer to the window as she panicked “Oh nono Dip watch out!” she said, worried.

Norma had put her hands around Dipper's neck, which made Mabel scream, but suddenly, there was a bouquet in Norma's hands, which made Mabel breathe in release and looked away from the window.

“Is my brother actually dating a zombie or am I just losing it.” Mabel asked herself as she glanced back at the window to see Dipper and Norma being all cute with each other.

“Well I wouldn't be so sure dear!”

Mabel gasped as she saw Melody - the handy (wo)man at the Murder Hut and Soos's girlfriend - fixing a light bulb. Melody hums as she twists the light bulb until it turns on “Sorry for scaring you hun… I couldn't help but overhear your conversation with yourself in this empty room.” Melody gave Mabel a quick smile as she stepped down from the stool.

Mabel waved Melody off then looked at Melody “Mel..have you seen Dipper's girlfriend? She gotta be a zombie right?” Mabel asked with hope in her eyes that she wasn't just going crazy.

Melody thought for a moment then asked “Well… have you seen her eat any brains hun?” Mabel looked down and shook her head no. Melody hummed and ruffled Mabel's head “Don't look so sad hun..I do believe you Mabel. I've seen so many weird things in this town. Like you know the mailman… pretty sure that man is a werewolf.” Mabel had laughed at that. “Although you need to collect evidence Mabel, otherwise no one is gonna believe you and people are gonna think you are you know?” Melody said as she made her pointer finger spin in circles as she pointed to her head.

Mabel sighed and nodded “You are always right Melody” Melody laughed as she closed her eyes “My smartness is a blessing and a cursed in disguise”

From downstairs Melody and Mabel both heard Stanford shout for Melody to come down and help clean up the mess a customer had made. Melody looked back at Mabel and waved a goodbye

Mabel waved back as she looked up at the ceiling “I need to get evidence asap my brother could be in trouble” Mabel muttered to herself as she ran downstairs to follow around Norma and Dipper on their date.

—

Mabel had been following Norma and Dipper around the entire day; she had gotten all the evidence she had needed to show Dipper this girl was not what he thought she was. In their shared room Dipper was on his bed playing with his hair talking to himself about the date. Mabel walked up to Dipper's bed to get his attention. “Heyy Bro bro” Mabel had asked as Dipper looked up at Mabel and smiled, Mabel had sighed “We need to talk about your girlfriend.”

Dipper glady sat up and patted next to him so Mabel could sit next to him. “Isn't she awesome?! She literally kissed me! Check it out” Dipper says as he shows his cheek which had a red spot on it. That had made Mabel scream. Dipper had laughed and playfully pushed Mabel “Pfft so gullible Mabe! It was just an accident with the leaf blower, nothing serious.”

Mabel rolled her eyes then went back to her worried expression “Listen Dipper.. Norma isn't what she seems!” Mabel exclaimed as she pulled out the journal.

Although that just made Dipper more excited “Oh my god you think she could be a vampire that would be so awesome!”

Mabel shook her head “Guess again..” Mabel was flipping through some pages “SHA-BAM”

Dipper had screamed, which made Mabel look at the page she was on. It was about gnomes “Ah sorry wrong page…" SHA-BAM!” The page she opened up was the one about zombies which made Dipper annoyed.

“Zombies… really Mabel” He muttered out annoyed, crossing his arms not believing her at all.

“Wait but Dipper, I have proof! She doesn't blink! Have you literally never noticed that?” Dipper just rolled his eyes and pointed at his sister “Maybe she's blinking when you are blinking!”

Mabel stood up from Dipper bed “Do you not remember what the journal said?! “TRUST NO ONE”

Dipper stood up as well and lightly pushed Mabel “Oh so you can't trust me huh, your own brother?” Dipper said, almost crying “Forget it.” Dipper ran out of the room as Mabel's eyes widened “Crap Dipper!” She yelled out but Dipper was already gone. Mabel walked over to her own bed and curled up muttering to herself on what to do.

—

A couple hours later Mabel was on the couch as she heard the doorbell ring again, a couple minutes after the doorbell she saw Dipper in his purple cat sweater and blue shorts with black converse rush to the door. Mabel sat in silence to hear Norma and Dipper's convo about how Shiny Dipper's sweater was and Dipper being happy as they both left the house Mabel sighed.

“Melody is right.. I don't have any real evidence” She muttered out as Mabel went through the videos on the camera she had recorded the evidence with.

On the video Mabel was watching the video had shown Dipper and Norma were hugging it out. Mabel sighed “Maybe I'm just too paranoid-” on the video while Dipper and Norma were hugging Norma's hand had fallen off Norma was looking around before she grabbed the hand and placed it back on. Mabel's eyes widen as she screams in joy “I WAS RIGHT!” and then in panic as she realized “Oh god DIPPER!” Mabel quickly got off the couch and ran outside screaming for Ford.

Stanford was outside the hut doing one of his tours no one believed was real. “And here is proof that bigfoot really exists!” Stanford said as he showed them a picture of a huge footprint in the middle of the woods.” A random person looked at the picture closely and asked “Isn't that Photoshop?” Which made Ford pissed “No sir… it's 100% real. I do not know how to use Photoshop, nor do I want to learn.” Another person asked if it was just a human foot. Stanford rolled his eyes “No! No person in the entire world would have a foot size this huge.”

Mabel jumped and waved her hands so Ford could see her “Over here Great Uncle Ford!” She yelled out but Ford couldn't see her because he was too busy yelling at his customers for being stupid.

Mabel rolled her eyes and ran to find someone else.

—-

While Mabel was freaking out Dipper and Norma were walking the woods Dipper smiled at Norma “Finally… we are alone” In which Norma nodded and agreed “Yes….Alone”

—-

Mabel was looking around for another adult until she saw Robbie and Wendy hanging out together hanging out near the golf cart. “Hey! Hey you two can I borrow that golf cart.. I need to save my brother from a zombie!” Wendy and Robbie both looked at each other then shrugged and threw the key to Mabel. “Knock yourself out kid” Robbie said and Wendy laughed “Try not to hit anyone” Mabel laughed as she got into the golf cart, Melody was standing on the driver side crouching down to see Mabel.

“It's me hun, Melody, I got you these for the zombies” Melody winked as she handed Mabel a shovel. Mabel thanked her as she started the golf cart. Melody had also given her a baseball bat “And this ...is just in case you see a piñata!” Melody laughed as Mabel shrugged and drove off to save her brother.

—--

Norma was looking at Dipper as she sighed “Hey.. so Dipper now that we got to know each other..” Norma lets out a shaky exhale “There's something I need to tell you.” Dipper grabbed Norma's hands “Listen you can tell me anything.” In Dipper's head he was hoping for Norma to tell him that she was a vampire.

Norma sighed and looked away “All right, just... just don’t freak out, okay? Just... just keep an open mind, be cool.” Norma unzipped her hoodie, which showed 5 gnomes standing on top of each other. The top gnome started to speak as Dipper stared in shock

“Is this weird? Is this too weird? Do you need to sit down” Dipper was still staring in shock “R-r-right, I'll explain. So! We’re gnomes. First off. Get that one outta the way….I'm Jeff, and here we have Carson, Steve, Jason and... I'm sorry, I always forget your name.” The forgotten gnome spoke up “Shmebulock!”

Jeff snapped his fingers “Shmebulock! Yes!” Dipper had to sit on the rock and slaps his head. “Anyways, long story short, us gnomes have been lookin' for a new queen! Right, guys?” The gnomes started to shout Queen Queen Queen.

“Heh, so whaddya say?” Jeff had tapped Steve with his foot, and the gnomes work together to make "Norma" kneel in a proposing fashion. A small case opened to reveal a diamond ring. “Will you join us in holy matri-gnome-y? Matri...matri-mo-ny! Bleahh! Can't talk today!”

Dipper sat up from the rock and awkwardly grabbed his sweater. “Look... I'm sorry, guys. You're really sweet, but... I'm a boy, and you're gnomes, and Im not really queen material.”

“We understand. We'll never forget you, Dipper.” Jeff sadly smiled as the other gnomes looked sad. “Because we are gonna kidnap you.”

Dipper eyes widen “Huh?!” as Jeff jumped at him.

—

As Mabel was driving she had heard a distant scream for help, she instantly recognized her brother's girlish scream. “Hold on Dipper I'm coming!” Mabel drives down a deep underground tunnel to the gnome's secret lair. She sees the gnomes trying to pin down Dipper.

Dipper was screaming as Jeff was standing there watching the gnomes trying to pin him down “The more you struggle, the more awkward this is gonna be for everybody! Just, ha ha, okay. Get his arm there, Steve!” As Steve went to try to get Dipper's arm, Dipper punched Steve right in the stomach which made him throw up rainbows.

Mabel was standing there in shock “What the heck is going on here?” One of the gnomes had hissed at her. Dipper turned his head to see Mabel there as he shouted for her “Mabel! Norma turned out to be a bunch of gnomes! And they're total jerkfaces!” Dipper screamed as a gnome started to pull at his hair “Ow my hair!”

Mabel pulled out her journal “Huh gnomes… I was way off” She flipped to the page about gnomes “Gnomes: little men of the Gravity Falls Forest. Weaknesses: unknown” As soon as Mabel closes the book and looks back up she sees Dipper tied to the ground with the gnomes covering his mouth.

Mabel walked over to the leader, Jeff, and put her hands on her hips “Give me my brother back!” She yelled out.

Jeff backed up “Oh! Haha, hey there! Um, you know, this is all really just a big misunderstanding. You see, your brother is not in danger. He’s just marrying all one thousand of us and becoming our gnome queen for all eternity! Isn't that right, honey” Jeff grinned as he looked over to Dipper, whose face was red out of anger as the gnomes continued to keep him from talking.

Mabel grabbed the shovel that was in the golf cart and held it in her hands like she was going to hit them “Give me my brother back or else!” Jeff laughed in response “You think you can stop us, kid? You have no idea what we're capable of. The gnomes are a powerful race! Do not trifle with the—” Mabel scooped up Jeff with the shovel and tossed him into the bush.

As the other gnomes were distracted by Jeff's disappearance Mabel quickly cut the rope that Dipper was tied by and freed him. The gnomes soon noticed and tried to tackle Dipper again so he kicked them in the face “Yeah eat that!” Dipper yelled as Mabel grabbed his hand and dragged him to the golf cart.

Jeff appeared from the bushes “She's getting away with our QUEEN! No, no, no!!!” Jeff pointed at the two who were seatbelting their seats and quickly driving away “You've messed with the wrong creatures, kid! Gnomes of the forest... ASSEMBLE!”

In the distance of Mabel and Dipper driving, they hear Jeff's thunderous cry, soon after hundreds of gnomes come out of giant mushrooms and trees to gather around Jeff in the middle. They stack themselves up and link hands, forming a pyramid with Jeff at the top. As soon as Mabel hears Dipper scream, "Drive Faster!" Mabel starts driving at full speed. “Dude! Drive Faster, that thing is coming closer!” Dipper yells as the clump of gnomes start chasing the kids in the golf cart. “I'm trying!! This cart doesn't go any faster!” Mabel yells back as several gnomes were crawling up the golf cart.

Dipper screamed and punched 2 off the golf cart as the other gnomes began to chew at the roof of the golf cart. While Dipper was punching the gnomes off Shmebulock jumped behind Mabel which caused Mabel to scream then she grabbed the gnome and slammed him multiple times in the steering wheel before chucking him. Another gnome jumped at Mabel which caused her to lose the wheel and she tried to get him off.

“I'll save you!!” Dipper yelled out as he repeatedly punched the gnome off of Mabel's face which caused the gnome to fly off. “Thanks Dipper” Mabel mumbled out dazed from being punched but she quickly shook it off and grabbed the wheel tightly. Dipper turned around and saw the gnome monster pick up a tree and throw it “Watch out!” Dipper yells out which causes both Dipper and Mabel to start screaming.

The golf cart flips over right next to the Murder Hut, Dipper and Mabel both crawl out of the cart both in pain. The gnome monster started to approach closer. Mabel grabbed the shovel that was on the ground now “Stay back!” She yelled out as she threw the shovel at the monster, it wasn't effective at all. Mabel and Dipper both grabbed each other and started to scream. Mabel looked around Wh-where is Grunkle Ford!”

Stanford was going to show the tourists the most distracting object - the optical illusion.. “Behold humans! The world's most distracting object” He held it up and started to rotate it in front of the people and himself the tourists stared at the object making a “Oooh” sound as Ford explained “Just try to look away, you can't….. What the hell was I talking about?”

The gnome monster was standing in front of the kids as Jeff started to taunt them “It's the end of the line, kids! Dipper, marry us before we do something crazy!”

Mabel looked at Dipper “There's gotta be something we could do like-..” Dipper cut Mabel off “I gotta do this sis” Dipper sighed as Mabel's eyes widened “No! There's gotta be a better way!-” Dipper shushed Mabel “Trust me Mabel” Dipper smiled as he walked over to the gnome monster.

“Alright Jeff, I will marry you” Dipper said as Jeff smiled brightly and started to climb down from the top of the gnome monster to the ground.

“Hot dog!! Help me down there, Jason. Thanks, Andy. All right, left foot, there we go, watch those fingers, Mike.” As Jeff got to the ground he pulled out a diamond ring and went on his knees “Eh Eh?” Dipper held out his hand as Jeff slid on the diamond ring

“Bada-bing, bada-bam! Now let's get you back into the forest, honey!” Jeff said as he turned around and started to walk away well not until Dipper said “You may kiss the bribe” As soon as Jeff heard that he turned around and walked back to Dipper “Don't mind if I do” As Jeff leans in for a kiss, Dipper leans backwards and turns on the leaf-blower behind him. He aims the leaf blower at Jeff to pull him into the suction.

“Whoa, whoa! Wh-what's goin' on?!” Jeff yelled out as he got sucked half-way into leaf-blower.

“That's for lying to me!” Dipper said angrily as he turned the knob all the way up so the suction power was high “AND THAT'S for breaking my heart!”

Jeff slowly got sucked in further in the leaf blower “Ow my face!” He whined

“AND THIS is for messing with my sister!” Dipper aims at the gnome monster, Dipper glances at Mabel who was still in shock “Wanna do the honors?” Dipper had asked as Mabel walked over to help hold the leaf blower “On three!” Mabel told Dipper as they both started to count down “One, Two, THREE” They blasted Jeff into the gnome monster which knocked all the gnomes clump together. Jeff was flying off into the distance as he quickly screamed out “I-I-I'LL GET YOU BACK FOR THI-I-IS...!!!”

All the gnomes that were on the ground Mabel and Dipper begin to threatened them with the leaf blower which made the rest of the gnomes retreat into the woods.

Both Dipper and Mabel were heavy breathing, Dipper turned to look at Mabel apologetically “Hey, Mabel? I, um...I'm sorry for ignoring your advice. You really were just looking out for me” Dipper muttered out as Mabel ruffled his hair “It's nothing bro bro… awkward sibling hug” Mabel said as she widened her arms.

“Awkward sibling hug” Dipper said as he went for the hug they hugged for one minute then both said “Pat, Pat” in a robotic voice.

The two walk into the Murder hut's gift shop. Mabel closes the door back with her right foot. They see Ford with his glasses on muttering some words not even noticing the twins. Dipper and Mabel both stare at each other and begin to walk away as Ford glances up he sighs “Wait children!” he yells out as both of them turn around. Stanford anxiously looks side to side “You two can pick one free item um- from the gift shop. You two look like you had a rough day.”

Dipper instantly got excited as he went to look around, Mabel also went to look around as her eyes in one of the boxes saw a shooting star hair pin. She instantly grabs it and puts it on, she goes up to one of the mirrors in the gift shop and smiles.

“And I'll havee” Dipper mutters out loud as he digs through the boxes “A grappling hook!” Both Ford and Mabel looked at each other.

“Um hey kid apparently children nowadays shouldn't have weapons…” Stanford explains but Dipper shot it up in the ceiling and happily yelled out “Grappling Hook!” Ford just shrugged and went back to the newspaper he was reading.

–

Mabel and Dipper were both in their bedroom as Mabel was writing in her new journal, Dipper was jumping on his bed laughing his lungs out.

In Mabel's new journal she had written out - This journal told me there was no one in Gravity Falls I could trust.But when you battle a hundred gnomes side-by-side with someone, you realize that they've probably always got your back. Mabel smiled after she finished writing and looked at Dipper, who just shot the grappling hook at a stuffed animal and reeled it in.

“Hey Dipper, could you get the lights” Mabel asked as she was already tucked into bed.

Dipper nodded “I'm on it!” He said as he used the grappling hook which knocked the lamp out the window. “It worked” Dipper laughed out while Mabel joined in.

Ford waited until midnight when he knew the kids would be fast asleep. He walked up to the vending machine and entered a secret code that had led to the vending machine opening up and he looked around before closing it.

Stanford was in the elevator of the secret room. As soon as he reached the bottom floor he walked in the room revealing a broken down portal with broken controls and no way to turn it on. He stared at the portal for a few seconds.
