Dreamer

Gideon Rises

I appeared in the once living room of the Mystery Shack. "Gideon, I want to make a deal."

"My my. Mrs. Dipper Pines. What can I do for you?" Gideon asked. "You really got on my last nerves the other day. But not to worry. I still love the girl I would love to be my soulmate."

"The stars don't align with that, child," I replied.

"How about this. You go on a date with me, and you get the deed?" Gideon offered.

"Over my dead body," I spat.

Gideon growled and stuck a pin with his face on it into my tank top. "Get off my property!"

~~~

"Relax. It's not that bad. We could just let them live here."

I threw the pin stuck to my shirt on the ground and smashed it with my boot. I looked up at the girl. "Do you have any idea what summoning Cipher would do?"

"Destroy an entire universe to the point where it's left scorching in flames?" she pretended to guess.

"The worst part is you know because you've seen it," I grumbled.

"And that's why I'm here," she added. "And oh, demon princess of dreams, are you going to stop this dimension from burning? Because whether you like it or not, the passion you have for that mortal Pines family is going to be the reason you keep going."

"You cared about a human at some point, Lyric," I snapped.

She smirked. "Thousands of years ago, my friend."

The ground rumbled our small home. Lyric and I looked at each other in confusion. I walked outside, noticing a white top swimming above the treetops. I floated into the air. It was a giant robot of Gideon, chasing after a bus. I blasted the arm back when it tried to catch the bus.

"Gideon!" I screamed.

Gideon laughed evilly as he looked at the train tracks just below the cliff. He jumped off onto the train tracks. Dipper and Mabel were balancing themselves on it. Were they going to leave town because of Gideon?

"Tell me! Where is journal number one?" Gideon demanded.

"Journal number one?" the twins questioned in confusion.

"Don't play games with me, boy!" Gideon chased after the two.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Dipper shouted. "You took the only journal I ever had! What do you even want with these journals, anyway?"

I landed next to Mabel. "He wants power, Dipper. He thinks the three journals combined will give ultimate power. This isn't TV, Gideon."

Gideon picked us up, Mabel and I in one hand and Dipper in the other.

Dipper punched the fist, making loud bangs. "Let go of them!"

Gideon laughed. "You still think you're some kind of hero?" He threw Dipper onto a cliff. "Once I find the final journal, I'll rule this town! With you two as my queens!"

"Dipper help me! Help!" Mabel screamed.

I struggled. The grasp he had on me limited my abilities. "Please."

Dipper jumped onto the robot after a moment. Mabel and I were thrown around like rag dolls. Finally, Gideon let go. I looked down, noticing the rocks in the water. I was able to use my powers. Mabel screamed, struggling to hold on.

"Let go!" I shouted.

"Are you insane? We'll be killed!" Mabel said in disbelief.

"Trust me!" The power coursed through my veins like fire.

At the same time Mabel let go, the robot fell off of the tracks. I used a little more force to make the robot explode. I created a bubble around myself so I wouldn't get hurt. The twins were not in view when I crashed, making me worried. I let go of the power and fell to the ground, exhausted.

"No, no, no! Come on." Dipper rolled me over so I was facing up.

"(Y/n), what did you do?" Mabel whispered.

"I saved you two," I replied in a hoarse voice.

"Oh, thank god." Dipper kissed my forehead as Mabel sat me up to hug me.

Police, news stations, and the townspeople of Gravity Falls made it to the site. I got up with the help of the twins, smiling at Dipper. He saved us. No one paid attention to the three of us; instead, they ran over to the monster that almost killed us.

"What on earth happened here?"

"It was the Pines twins and that girl! They tried to attack me and blew up my statue with dynamite!" Gideon exclaimed.

"Gideon, where's the evidence of dynamite?" I questioned.

"Officers, he's lying!" Dipper exclaimed.

"Sorry, kids. But we trust Gideon, and nothing short of a miracle could ever change our-"

Mr. Pines yelled as he drove his car to the site. "Wait! Wait. Stop everything. I've got something to say."

"Not this guy again," one of the officers said in annoyance.

"Just wait! Look!" Mr. Pines ran over to the robot. "You guys think Gideon is so perfect and honest. 'Oh, I could never tell a lie! I'm Gideon!'"

"He's more honest than you."

"Yeah! And he's psychic too!"

"How's this for psychic?" Mr. Pines kicked open a hatch. "Take a good look!"

Cameras. The pins were cameras.

"The pins were hidden cameras," Mr. Pines explained. "And my hearing aid was picking up the feedback. Who's the fraud now?"

Everyone threw the pins to the ground, looking at Gideon. The boy laughed sheepishly.

"Gideon, we gave you our trust."

"You lied to us!"

"It's not what it looks like!" Gideon was cornered against the robot. "What are you gonna do with me?"

"Tyler?" one of the officers asked.

The man had tears in his eyes. "Get 'em. Get 'em."

"Li'l Gideon, you are under arrest. For conspiracy, fraud, and breaking our hearts. Durland, the tiny handcuffs."

Gideon was put in handcuffs. Mr. Pines opened the door to the police car.

"Just one more thing." Mr. Pines picked up Gideon and shook him. Journal number two was on Gideon, along with the deed. I picked it up in confusion.

"There you have it. Local hero Stanford Pines has just exposed Li'l Gideon as a fraud. Anything you have to say to the town, Stanford?"

"The Mystery Shack is back, baby!" Mr. Pines exclaimed.

In no time, we got the shack back to its former glory. When the Pines twins moved in, I gave journal number two to Dipper for safekeeping. That night, Dipper invited me over for a sleepover. Everyone was glad to be back in the Mystery Shack.

Even with Stanley bending the universe three floors below us.
