What? A Gravity Falls Story

Unwanted Affection

We open to Ricky looking out the window as he sees Stan out in the front yard with some tourists.

Stan Pines:"For tonight's final illusion, we have the incredible "Sack of Mystery." When you put your money in, it mysteriously disappears!"

The crowd mutters several positive things about the trick's credibility and Stan's character. Stan smiles at his gain and their loss. Ricky only laughs as he walks into the living room to Dipper, Mabel, and Soos watching television.

TV Narrator:"The tiger was badly injured in the explosion, but we repaired him with a fist."

Dipper, Mabel, and Soos start cheering while Ricky simply stared in bewilderment.

Dipper:"That tiger's a hero.

On TV, the tiger punches itself.

TV Narrator:"Tiger Fist! ...will return after these messages."

Soos Ramirez:"Hey, look. It's that commercial I was telling you guys about."

Bud Gleeful:"Are you completely miserable?"

Actor:"YES!"

Bud:"Then you need to meet— Gideon."

Dipper:"Gideon?"

Mabel:"What makes him so special?"

Bud:"He's a psychic."

Mabel:"Aroo?"

Bud:"So don't waste your time with other so-called "men of mystery."

The screen shows a clip of Stan coming out of an outhouse and is stamped with the word "FRAUD."

Ricky:"Now, that's just distasteful."

Bud:" Learn about tomorrow tonight at Gideon's Tent of Telepathy."

A speedy message through subtext for commercial.

"Voidwhereprohibited,noC.O.D.'saccepted.CarlaI'vealwayslovedyoubutneverhadthegutstosayit."

Mabel:"Wow, I'm getting all curiousy inside!"

Ricky:"Don't get that curiosy Mabel."

Stand suddenly walks inside

Stan:"Like he said, don't get too curiousy. Ever since that monster Gideon rolled into town, I've had nothin' but trouble."

We see in a brief flashback, Grunkle Stan driving in a parking lot. He spots an open parking spot and attempts to back in, but Gideon's tour bus pulls in first.

Stan:"Gideon!"

The flashback ends as we look at Mabel and Dipper.

Mabel:"Well, is he really psychic?"

Dipper:"I think we should go and find out."

Stan:"Never! You're forbidden from patronizing the competition. No one that lives under my roof is allowed under that Gideon's roof!"

Ricky simply smirks at the twins.

Ricky:"Do tents have roofs?"

Mabel:"I think we just found our loop hole... literally!"

She holds up a string with a loop in it.

"Mwop mwop!"

In the background, the commercial continues.

Bud:" So come down soon, folks. Gideon is expecting you."

A crowd enters the Tent of Telepathy. Bud Gleeful stands at the entrance with a sack.
