  The Pines stand living room as Stan explains the situation to the police officers. "I got up to use the john, right? And when I come back, blammo! He's headless!"
  "My expert handcrafting... besmirched. Besmiiiirrrched!" Mabel crys putting her head in her hands
  "Who would do something like this? What's your opinion, ?"
  "Look, we'd love to help you folks, but let's face the facts... this case is unsolvable." the shieff says shaking his head
  "What?!" the four looked at the officers confused
  "You take that back, Sheriff Blubs!"
  "You're kidding, right? There must be evidence, motives. You know, I could help if you want." Dipper offered
  "He's really good. He figured out who was eating our tin cans!"
  "All signs pointed to the goat."
  "Yeah, yeah! Let the boy help. He's got a little brain up in his head." Stan comments
  "Oooh! Would you look at what we got here! City boy thinks he's gonna solve a mystery with his fancy computer phone!" Blubs chuckles looking to his Panter Durland
  "City boooy! City booooooy!"
  "You are adorable!"
  "Adorable?" Dipper looks at him confused
  Blubs and DurlandLaugh "Look, P.J.'s, how about you leave the investigating to the grown-ups, okay?"
  "Attention, all units. Steve is going to fit an entire cantaloupe in his mouth. Repeat, an entire cantaloupe!" A man says over Blub's walkie talkie
  "It's a 23-16!"
  "Let's move!" Blubs says then the two Run off laughing
  "That's it! Mabel, you and me are going to find the jerk who did this, and get back that head. Then we'll see who's adorable." Dipper says then Sneezes
  "Aww, you sneeze like a kitten!"
Dipper narrows his eyes at her

  The next day Isabel was walking through the forest after helping some of her creature friends.
  "Hey, you two what are you kids doing?" she calls to the twins noticing them
  "We've got a big break in the case!
  "Break in the case!"
  "We're heading into town right now to interrogate the murderer."
  "We have an axe!" Mabel shows her
  "Um, does Stan know about this?"
  "Yes, Gruncle Stan says it was ok."
  Isabel shakes her head but smiles at the twins "Alright but you two be careful."

  Isabel makes it back to the shack and finds Stan dragging the headless wax figure into a room
  "Bella sweetie can you help me?" He asked seeing her
  She sighs going over and picking up the wax figure's feet. "So, why are you putting this in the parlor."
  "I'm doing a moral service for wax stan. Some classy."
  "Uh, ok. So why are Mabel and Dipper running around with an axe."
  "They're trying to solve the mystery of what happened."
  "Is that a good idea?"
  "I let you go to that forest and mess with those creatures since you were their age."
  Isabel chuckles rolling her eyes a bit "Alright fair enough."

  Later that night the Pines and Soos were in the parlor
  "Kids, Isabel, Soos, lifeless wax figures, thank you all for coming. Some people might say it's wrong for a man to love a wax replica of himself.
Soos Jumps up and points "They're wrong!"
  "Easy Soos. Wax Stan, I hope you're picking pockets in wax heaven." Stan looks at the figures then wipes his eye "I'm sorry, I got glitter in my eye!" Stan cries and runs off

  Isabel runs after Stan stopping as she hears Soos behind her. "I'll handle this Soos. Why don't you go home? You're Abulia is probably wondering where you are by now?"
  "Will Mr. Pines be ok?"
  Isabel smiles at him "Yeah, He'll be fine." She places a hand on his shoulder "Going on, you know I'm not going anywhere."
  Soos hesitated for a moment then nodded and left. Isabel walks in to see Stan sniffling seeming to not notice she was there.
  "Sorry to worry you, kid."
  "Uncle Stan?" Isabel walks over and sits next to him
  "I must have looked truly bizarre back there."
  "You seemed normal to me. You ok?"
  "Doing just fine." Stan lightly laughs getting up and leaving 
  Isabel sighs getting up to follow 

~

  Stan and Isebal are shocked at the destruction in the parlor as they walked in. "Hot Belgian waffles!! What happened to my parlor!?" Stan exclaimed
  "Your wax figures turned out to be evil, so we fought them to the death!" Mabel explains
  "I decapitated Larry King," Dipper added
  Stan chuckles "You kids and your imaginations!"
  "On the bright side, though, look what we found." Dipper left Stan Wax Stan's head
  Stan smiles taking it "My head! Ha ha! I missed this guy! You've done good kids! Alright, line up for some affectionate noogie-ing."
  "Oh, I'm not so sure about that. Is there any other alternative...?"
  "Oh uh... I'm not so sure..."
  Stan laughs and starts Noogieing Dipper and Mabel. Isabel smiles at the sight as Mabel and Dipper begin to laugh. Just then Blubs and Durland drive up to the window.
  "Solved the case yet, boy? I'm so confident you're gonna say no, that I'm gonna take a long, slow sip from my cup of coffee." Blubs says taking a long, slow sip
  "Actually, the answer is yes." Dipper smiles showing the head
  Blubs Spits coffee in Durland's face Then Durland Screams; spits coffee in Blubs' face they do this a few times then shout. The Pines start laughing They then drive away, screaming.
  "They got scalded!"
  "Alright, who wants pancakes?"
  "Me!" The twins shout
  Isabel chuckles as she and Stan watch them run off.
