Summer with the Pine Twins

Gideon Rises: Part 4

Grunkle Stan's p.o.v.

I let out another sigh as I pick up the small Gideon pin that had been slapped onto my suit asking under my breath "How did you do it kid? Why are you always one step ahead? Maybe he really is psychic after- AH my hearing aid! What keeps causing that?!" I ask as a loud noise shoots through my ear. I had crushed the pin when the loud noise had startled me, looking closer at the crushed bits of the pin I notice a microphone in the pin, don't tell me the pipsqueak has been doing what I think he's doing. I throw my fists up in the air shouting "Wait a minute...That's it! I know Gideon's weakness!" In walks Abuelita with a cup of tea. "Would Mr. Pines like a-" I cut her off and kiss her in my excitement before running off.

(y/n)'s p.o.v.

We pass by a sign stating that there were ten more miles till we left Gravity Falls, all three of us had been silent, Dipper on the right, staring out the window and me doing the same on the left, Mabel was in the middle cuddled up into her sweater. My gaze shifts over to Dipper for a moment and I sigh this would be the last time I ever saw him for who knows how long and I never got to tell him that I...It doesn't matter anymore I guess now will never be the time to tell him I have a crush on him.

Mabel's p.o.v.

I look between my brother and his best friend who had been glancing at each other from time to time as if they wanted to tell the other something but didn't feel like it was the right time. It's so obvious they have feelings for each other and if I don't do something to lift the mood they might never know. So despite not feeling like smiling I smile and gain their attention. "Hey Dipper, (y/n) wanna play bus seat treasure hunt?" "I'm not in the mood," Dipper mutters and (y/n) shakes her head.

Not giving up I lift the seat and point out all the things underneath it. "Oh come on, we got a Canadian coin, gum that's shaped like Ronal Regan's head, ooo mucilaginous fluid stain." "GIANT ROBOT!" (y/n) shouts. "Yeah, a giant robot...Wait WHAT?!" "Look!" Dipper points and I look through the back window to see a giant Gideon-looking robot chasing after us his voice soon ringing out. "Halt! I command you to halt!"

Quickly we rush to the front of the bus to warn the bus driver about what was going on. "Mr. Bus driver there's a giant Gideon-bot coming towards us!" The guy turns around to reveal it's Soos! "Oh hey, dudes." "Soos!" "Don't worry guys, I've been a part-time bus driver for at least forty minutes. One of these things is probably a clutch. Hang on dudes!" We start to speed up, though the Gideon-bot was still hot on our tail and we had to swerve multiple times to avoid the bus being picked up. "Soos! Look out!" I shout when a hand was put in the front of the bus. The bus swerves onto a closed road leading uphill leaving Gideon behind on the main road.

For a minute we thought we were safe but that hope was soon crushed as Gideon started climbing up the hill. "He already won what does he want from us?" Dipper asks and (y/n) and I give him a look that read we didn't know. "Soos, cliff!" (y/n) shouts and we skid to a stop, the bus balancing on the edge. "Climb down the cliff dudes!" Soos says shoving us out and even though we were reluctant to leave him behind we started climbing down.

We run across the railroad bridge but we didn't make it far when Gideon hopped down onto the bridge, his voice ringing out again. "Tell me! Where is journal number one?!" "Journal number one?" All three of us question in unison as we slowly backed away. "Don't play games with me kids!" He slammed his fist into the rock formation, causing rubble to fall. Dipper grabs me and pulls me close as a huge rock falls right where I had been standing. "We don't know what you're talking about! You took the only journal we ever had! What do you want with these journals anyway?!"

He grabs hold of us, Dipper in his left, (y/n) and I in his right. We struggled to break out, Dipper soon punching the metallic fist demanding that we be let go. "Let go of them!" "Haha! You still think you're some kind of hero?!" Gideon mocks Dipper before tossing him onto the cliff and started to walk off with me and (y/n).

"Once I find the final journal, I'll rule this town with Mabel as my queen! And since you seem to be so fond of her, I'm keeping (y/n) with me as well, she can be our princess!" No! (y/n) and I begin to shout at Dipper for help. "Dipper help us! Help!"

Dipper's p.o.v.

I watch as Gideon starts to walk away with the two girls I loved the most, I back up unsure of what to do as his voice rang in my head. 'Face it kid you're nothin' without that journal, how are you gonna fight back? No muscles, no brains, what you gonna do? Huh? What are you gonna do?' My lip quivers as I turn around, my head hanging low when something shiny in my vest catches my attention, it was the pine tree pin (y/n) had given me when we first became friends, I always kept it on whenever I could.

 (y/n)'s voice starts ringing in my head as well. 'The journal is just a tool, we're still the ones who thought of the plan and executed them not the journal and while it's true the journal helped a lot we were just utilizing the knowledge it has like anyone who was smart would do. That's why we can't give up, there's gotta be something we can do, don't give up, you're stronger than you think. I believe in you, remember what Grunkle Stan said? " When the world starts fightin', fight back!"'

When the world starts fighting...Fight back...I clench my fists as that phrase rings in my ears and I enter the woods before turning around and start running, jumping off the cliff, crashing through the eye when Gideon turned around.
