4. The Hand That Rocks the Mabel

Dippers POV

"The tiger was badly injured in the explosion. But we repaired him with a fist!" The TV announces. We all cheered except one person. It bugged me but we continued. "TIGER FIST! will return after these short messages."

"Hey look! It's that commercial i was telling you guys about." Soos says. We all watch. Jessica stood and left the room. She was mumbling something but i couldn't make anything out. "Gideon?" I questioned.

"What makes him so special?" Mabel asked. Shortly Jessica returned staring at the screen angrily

"He's a psychic." The tv says. Mabel's head turns like a dog. "So don't waste your time with other men so called, 'Man of Mystery'."

"Learn about tomorrow TONIGHT! At gideons tent of telepathy!" The commercial ends. "WOW! I'm getting all curiousy inside!" Mabel says. "Well don't. Gideons a no good little brat who gives out pins and says he's something he isn't." Jessica speaks. Whoa. "I agree with Jessica over there. Ever since that monster Gideon rolled into town i've had nothing but trouble!"

Stan says. "And that's Gideon is. So DON'T even think about going to that dumb tent!"Jessica adds. "Well is he really psychic?" Mabel asks. I stood. "Honestly i think we SHOULD go find out!" i say. Jessica and Grunkle stan didn't seem to happy about that. "NEVER! Your forbidden from patronizing the competition! No one that lives under my roof is allowed under gideons roof!" Stan says. "Do tents have roofs?"

"I think we just found our loop hole! Literally!" Mabel says pulling out a looped hole. "You know what fine, go. But don't fall for any of his stupid tricks. And DON'T take ANY pins! You hear me!"

"Oh come on Jessica come with us! I'm sure gideon can't be THAT bad!"

"Dipper..." She says putting a hand on my shoulder. "It would take a LOT to get me to go to that brat's show." She says. I thought a moment. "How about..." I whispered something into her ear. Her eyes widened. "... And i'll let you hold the journal next time on our next adventure!" I say in a sing song voice. She looked torn.

So the next thing we knew, Jess, Mabel, Soos, and I were heading to the tent of telepathy. We payed and sat down waiting. Mabel and i were kinda excited but Jessica seemed peeved. "Whoa... this is like a bizarro version of the mystery shack." I say. "They even have their own Soos!" I add seeing the repairman walk by.

"Just don't get too used to it." Jessica says. I sighed. The lights started to dim. "It's starting!" Mabel gushed. "Let's see what this monster looks like." i say. I bet Jess and Grunkle Stan were just be over reacting. The shadow was casted on the curtains as jessica slumped in her seat almost as if hiding herself.

"Hello America! My name is Lil' Gideon!" A small kid walks out. What? This is the terrible person they were talking about? He looks like he's 8?! He claps his hands and doves fly out of his large white hair. Jess scoffs rolling her eyes. "That's Stan's mortal enemy?" I say. "But he's so... wittle!" Mabel says. "Yeah... wittle." Jessica says. "Ladies and gentlemen it is such a gift to have you here tonight! Such a gift..." He says in his strong accent. "I have a vision! I predict that you'll soon all say, AWE!" He says. What?

He turns around and looks back with googly eyes. "It came true..." Mabel says. "What? I'm not impressed." I say. Jessica looked like she could just strangle him. "Your impressed!" Mabel says. "HIT IT DAD!" He shouts and music starts. He starts singing as Jess hid herself and Mabel gushed over him. This was a complete waste of my time.
