Summer with the Pine Twins: Summer's Coming to an End

Take Back The Falls: Part 1

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

The six of us bust through the shack's door screaming only to be met with more screaming as we looked at the batten and bruised people and creatures of Gravity Falls, including Grunkle Stan! "Grunkle Stan!" Dipper, Mabel, and I shout as we toss away our weapons and tackle hug him. "Kids! I can't believe it! I thought I lost you three!" He exclaims before Wendy and Soos join in on the hug. "Mr. Pines it's really you! I've been hugging strangers to practice for this moment." "We missed you, you old cadger!" Once we had our reunion Dipper looks around at everyone and asks "What's everyone doing here?"

"Yeah, there's like monsters and gnomes, and is Pacifica wearing a potato sack?" Mabel chimes in earning a scoff and an insult from the hobo-looking girl. "It's a long story," Multibear says before Grenda whose hair was being eaten by a wax figured head, didn't we melt all of them? "Hey everyone! Eye bat!" One of the manotaurs screamed before the door was slammed shut the lights went out and we were tackled to the floor.

Once the gnome on watch had confirmed the eye bat had left the room lights up again and Grunkle Stan gestures everywhere telling us "Welcome to what's left of what's normal around here: home base," We look around at the distraught people and creatures who had part of them turned to stone, trying to ration food, and taking care of the hurt. Even Rumble McSkirmish was here. "Do not be afraid, Weirdmaggedon has taught me there are some battles I can not win. I am now Humble McSkirmish," Rum- Humble tells us after noticing Dipper and I give him a frightened look resulting in us holding hands. "Grunkle Stan, how'd this all happen?" I ask. "So I was hammering signs out back when the skies started vomiting nightmares. I listen to a lot of AM radio so I knew what this meant: the end of the world. What I didn't expect was what happened next. Turns out whatever you and those two geeks of ours did to the shack with your unicorn voodoo made the crazy place invincible to weirdness."

Grunkle Stan explains as he recalled the totem pole coming to life and trying to attack the shack. "Of course! The unicorn spell! That's why this is the only place Bill's magic can't touch!" Dipper exclaims and Stan points at McGucket. "That's what possum breath over here shows up leading a bunch of injured stragglers through the forest. They needed a place to stay and since the mayor got captured I elected myself to defacto chief. The plan is to stay in here and eat brown meat until we run out, then I vote we eat the gnomes."

"Hey! I'm short not deaf!" Jeff yells before being shushed and told stress would make him chewy. "Grunkle Stan we can't just hide here in the shack. There's a town out there in need of saving. Ford, Grace, and I tried to do it but they got captured by Bill..." Dipper trails off with a downcast look and I give his hand a reassuring squeeze as Grunkle Stan rolls his eyes and opens another can of meat.

"Serve those jerks right. Those two have had some stupid plans but going up against an all-powerful space demon was his worst one yet. Trust me we have everything we need right here. It's not the best but at least the monsters inside know how to massage." "So you're really just gonna let Bill win?" Mabel asks him disheartened and he tells her "Look kiddo, we got a good deal here. Besides I'm sure wherever the rest of the town folk are they're fine," Grunkle Stan's hand lands on the tv remote turning it on and it just so happened to be on the news channel, catching everyone's attention.

"This Shandra Hermendes reporting live from the inside of Bill's castle. Here for the first time are images of what's happened to the captured town's folk," The once beautiful reporter exclaims soon gesturing to the side and the camera pans to reveal a stone chair built entirely of everyone we knew and loved. "Viewers are advised to look away if they don't want to see their friends turned into a twisted throne of human agony." "Mom and Dad..." "My family!" "Deputy Durland!!!" A few cry out as we all stared at the screen in shocked horror while Shandra is slowly turned to stone. "Is there no one who will save the people of this town?  I'm Shandra Hermendes and I'm being turned to stone by a flying eyeball-" The screen cuts to static, Pacifica soon commenting while Officer Blubs cried. "My parents are bad but even they don't deserve to be turned to stone." "Guys don't you see? Our friends need us but we can only save them if we fight back."
