Summer with the Pine Twins

Little Gift Shop of Horrors: Part 6

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

"I'm affraid they want you," We hear and Harry Claymore walks up with his hands tied behind his back. "Harry Claymore! Master of special effects!" "Alas, my effects are more special than you know." "What? But how are these things real? What about stop-motion?" Dipper asks and Harry scoffs. "What? You really believe someone moves these figures at one frame at a time? I'm not a masochist! I used black magic to make them animate themselves. It was great at first buy one day..."

He continues to explain how computer animations became popular, killing off stop-motion, causing the figures to go mad and capture him as a hostage. "And now they will turn you into unholy beasts of clay to join in their mischief!" "Well Mr. Pines at least you get to work with your favorite director and by work I mean suffocating inside a big wad of clay," Soos exclaims before the figure start covering us more in clay and we cry out for help.

Mabel's p.o.v.

I watch from the rafters as my family was caught and slowly be covered in clay as I ponder "What can I do? How do I defeat those monstrosities?" I grab a ball of clay and squeeze it, causing it to form to holes and I draw a line, turning it into a smiley face. "Hey, I changed it into something I like. Woah! I think I have an idea!" I run downstairs and get the cyclops attention. "Hey! One eye-clops! Yeah, I'm talking to you dumb-dumb, come at me!" I charge into him and climb up to his shoulder, soon peeling his face down. "Wipe that face off your face! I've got big plans for you."

I re-mold him into the star from the movie we watched earlier and I shout at the skeletons, holding my family hostage as the star takes care of them. "Dude, you conquered your fear!" "That's right because she believed in herself," The star responds and I yell at him to shut it. "Can it Twinkle Heart! Just start pounding those skeletons," I hop down and free everyone from the clay, Dipper asking "So you're not scared anymore?"

"Oh, I'm scared twice as much now. But now I know it's rational." "Kid, I'm sorry I doubted you. You were right stop-motion is pure evil," Grunkle Stan apologizes to me as we watch the clay destroy itself. "And probably really expensive." "Incredibly expensive," We all clap when all the clay finally dies.

On movie night we watch a different movie from Grunkle Stan's time after making sure there was no stop-motion in it. "Well, I think we learned that you can re-mold your fears," My brother says and I curl into myself stating "I'm just glad none of us got turned into clay," That's when we see Soos had been turned to clay! He start changing into different shapes and he walked through the wall. Quickly Grunkle Stan throws the tv set at him, stopping him from doing anything as Stan pulls us close muttering "We're safe now kids. We're safe."

Grunkle Stan's p.o.v.

I put my hands on my hips as I glare at the traveler who once again denied to buy my merchandise, what a cheapskate. "I don't get it. You don't want the pig, you don't want my tapes, what are you gonna buy?" When they tell answer me with nothing I grab a knock-out potion and offer it to him as a free sample. As they were about to go unconscious I tell them "Shoulda' bought my merch when you had the chance buddy. But that's ok, I'll have something new for sale very soon."

The next day I show off the traveler as a new exhibition: The Cheapskate. "And here we have our latest attraction. The legendary Cheapskate!" "I saw it blinking." "Just an optical illusion. Come along everyone," As we walk away I whisper to them "That's right I'm a jerk."

Dipper's p.o.v.

We were cleaning up the store when Mabel starts talking to the new guy. "Hey, wanna play tick-tack-toe?" I roll my eyes as she draws the pattern for the game on the dirty glass. With a sigh, the traveler draws an X. "Hey, I wanna be Xs. Let me be Xs." "Trust me just let her be Xs," I tell them and they let out another sigh, drawing an O. Mabel squeals before drawing an X and then stating "Actually I'm sorry I changed my mind, I'll be Os," The traveler rolls their eyes as they draw an X. "Ok, you're gonna hate me right now but is Xs still a possibility?" They write 'help me' on the glass. "I don't think you're playing this right."
