The next day, I got up and got dressed heading downstairs to make myself a hot cup of coffee. I see Stan reading the newspaper, Dipper sat on the floor reading one of Ford's journals and Mabel is laying down on the floor with Waddles finishing up eating a bag of cheese doodles. Mabel said while laying on the floor "I just ate a whole bag of cheese doodles without using my hands. Lazy Tuesday, you're delivering in a big way!!!" Stan looked at Mabel and said "Heh, yeah, it's nice to finally have a day where nothing interesting happens whatsoever-" and then we see Ford comes in with Cycloptopus wrapped around his arm and said to us "Everyone get down!!! Don't let it taste human flesh!" The Cycloptopus jumped off Ford's arm and tried to find a place to hide, but it saw me and crawled towards me, Ford, Stan, Mabel and Dipper shouted out my name "Lynn!" Ford was about to grab the Cycloptopus but I put my hand up towards Ford letting him know that I'm going to be fine. The Cycloptopus looked up at me and I was putting my gloves on and kneeling down on one knee, I looked at it and said "It's okay, little guy. I'm not going to hurt you, you can trust me" and the Cycloptopus crawled up to my hand, I got up and walked towards Ford, the Cycloptopus looked scared and I smiled at it and said "Don't you worry about him, little guy. He's not going to hurt you, he's just wanted to study that's all. Right, Ford". Ford looked at the Cycloptopus and smiled and said "Yes. I'm just going to study not hurting you, you have my word", so Cycloptopus started to crawl to Ford's arm.

Ford looked at me and said "Thank you for your help, Lynn", I smiled back at him and said "No problem, Ford". Ford looked at me and said "I wanted to have a word with you for a moment, Lynn" and I said "Oh. Sure, Ford", Ford and I were heading to his lab until Dipper said " Great Uncle Ford!!! Do you need any help with that?!? I've read all about these creatures in your journal and I think I know how to----", but Ford interrupted Dipper and said to him "No!!! I'm sorry, Dipper, on the dark weird road I travel I'm afraid that you cannot follow. Well, call us when the dinner is ready", we finally made it to his lab and I said to him " You wanted to talk about something, Ford" and Ford looked at me and said "I need to protect you, Lynn. So, from now on I'm going to stand by you and make sure that you're safe", then I looked confused and asked him "Are you hiding something from me, Ford?" Ford said to me "No, Lynn. I'm not hiding anything from you, okay", but then we heard a loud crash and I asked him "What was that?" Ford said "I don't know, but stay close to me", Ford and I saw Dipper in the lab just picking up the 38 sided die, then Ford shouted "Dipper! Stop!" Dipper turned his head and said "Great uncle Ford! Lynn!" I asked "Dipper, are you okay?"

Before Dipper could answer me, Ford said "What did I say about coming down here? My work is far too dangerous for a single living soul to spend even one second i- wait! Is that a 38-sided die from Dungeons, Dungeons, and More Dungeons?!" Dipper said to us "Yeah! Y-you know that game?" I nod my head and Ford said "This is my favorite game in the whole multiverse! I can't believe they still make it!" Dipper explained that he was looking for someone to play with, I said "I'll play with you, Dipper" and Ford said "We must stop everything I've been working on at once...and PLAY!" We're on the floor playing Dungeons, Dungeons and More Dungeons, I was telling the story to Ford and Dipper "Alright. You've entered the chamber. Princess Unatainabelle beckons you. But WAIT! IT'S A TRAP!" Ford and Dipper gasped, I continued "An illusion cast by Probabilitor the annoying. You guys know his weakness, right?" Dipper and Ford said it at the same time "Prime-statistical anomalies over 37 but not exceeding 51!" Dipper said "Yes! Uh! In your face, you cardboard wizard!" Ford picked up the paper Probabilitor the annoying and said "Hm. The old boy looks a bit different than he did back in my day", Dipper said "Mmm, yeah, they change the art every few years. Thankfully you missed the period when the creators of the game tried to make it "cooler." There must have been dark times, those '90s".

Then Ford chuckled and said "Yeesh. Sounds like a good time to be stuck between dimensions", but Dipper asked Ford "Great-uncle Ford, I've been meaning to ask you: where were you before you came out of that machine, and what have you been doing down here? Are you working on something behind that curtain?" Ford looked at the curtain that is behind me and said to Dipper "Dipper, it's best if you and the family stay away from that subject. Honestly, I'm not sure any of you could handle the real answer", but Dipper said "But, but I can handle it-" so Ford interrupted him and showed us something really cool, Ford said to us "Ah-ah! But I can show you a little something I brought back with me, it's called the infinity die". Dipper said "Woah... that's so cool. And... impossible!" Ford said to us while holding the infinity die "These things are outlawed in nine thousand dimensions. You wanna know why? Look at those symbols. Infinite sides means infinite outcomes. If I rolled it, anything could happen. Our faces could melt into jelly. The world could turn into an egg. Or you could just roll an eight. Who knows. That's why I have to keep it in this protective cheap plastic case", I said "That is amazing, Ford. Now, back to the game! You and Dipper got Probabilitor on the ropes".
