Life In Gravity Falls

The Hand That Rocks - Part Two

"Mabel, I don't trust anyone who's hair is bigger than their head." you say.
"Oh, come on! You two never want to do the stuff I like, and you do things that you like with Soos all the time!" Mabel puts her hands on her hips.
"That's not true." Dipper scoffs.
Just then Soos walks in, holding a package of frozen hot dogs. "Hey dudes. Wanna go blow up these hot dogs in the microwave one by one?" he asks excitedly.
"Do I?" you exclaim and sprint out of the room with Dipper. Mabel rolls her eyes.

Later, while you're playing Fight Fighters in the living room with Dipper, Mabel walks up to you. Every inch of her face is covered with sparkles.
"I successfully bedazzled my face!" Mabel enthuses. She then blinks, shooting sparkles that were once on her eye lids all over you and Dipper.
"Aww, come on Mabel! You made me mess up!" Dipper says angrily, throwing is remote down.
"Ugh, there's glitter all over us. " you grumble, trying to pick the sparkles off of your shirt.
"I'm unappreciated in my time." Mabel mutters. Then she perks up. "Oh, I forgot to tell you guys, I'm going an a date with Gideon today."
You stop picking the sparkles out of your hair for a second to look at her. "Grunkle Stan's not going to be too happy about that."
"It's not a date-date though," she says. "It's only a one-time friend date."
"Mabel, guys don't work that way. He's going to fall in love with you." Dipper says pointedly.
Before Mabel can respond, she sneezes, spraying you and Dipper with even more sparkles. You both glare at her.
"...Sorry." she chuckles, whipping the rest of the glitter from her face. 
The door bell rings, and Mabel runs over to answer it. When she opens the door she almost gets trampled by a big white horse that's standing on the doorstep, Gideon perched on it's back. "
Your night of enchantment awaits, m'lady." he says, reaching out his hand.
You and Dipper look at each other, then at Mabel.
"Oh boy." she says.

After Mabel left, you and Dipper hung out with Wendy and worked at the shop, but business was slow due to The Tent of Telepathy being so close by. You basically just got to talk and mess around the entire time.
Right now you're sitting on the counter, Wendy is in Stan's chair behind the register, and Dipper is sitting on the globe.
Stan walks in, and he doesn't look happy. "Will someone please explain-" he throws a newspaper down onto Wendy's lap, "-why Mabel and that lil freak are on the front page of the newspaper?"
You look down to see a rather large photograph of Gideon and Mabel walking down the street holding hands.
"Oh yeah." Wendy leans forward. "Everybody's talking about their big date tonight."
"Date?" Stan yelps, his eyes widening.
"You didn't know?" Dipper asks, spinning in circles.
Grunkle Stan glares at him and puts one hand on the globe, causing it to stop so abruptly that Dipper falls off.
"No, I didn't know! I have to put a stop to this." Stan runs over to the door, grabbing his hat.
"Where are you going?" Wendy asks.
"To that little punk's house, to speak with his parents." Stan answers, marching out the door.
You jump off of the counter and run to catch up with him. "Can me and Dipper come?"
"Yeah, sure, whatever." Stan grumbles, fumbling for his keys.
"C'mon Dipper!" you call into the shack.
Dipper jogs outside. "What?"
"We're going to Gideon's house. We can look around to find out how the seats did that thing." you whisper, jumping into the back seat of Stan's car. Dipper jumps in after you.
Once you get to the house, the three of you step out of the vehicle and walk around to the back of the house , since there isn't a front door. Stan peers down at the embroidered sign that reads 'Pardon Our Garden'. "I will pardon nothing!" he yells and swats the sign, causing it to fall to the ground.
The door swings open to reveal a large man in a hawaiian shirt and straw hat, with long, brown sideburns running down the sides of his face.
"Stanford Pines!" the man, who you assume is Gideon's father, exclaims. "It's so nice to see you! Come in, come in!"
You and Dipper follow Stan into a small living room type area, with a television and two couches. Gideon's dad gestures for you to sit down on one of the sofas, but Stan holds up a hand. "Listen, Mr. Gleeful-"
"Call me Bud." Gideon's dad says with a smile.
Stan's jaw tightens."I'm here about Mabel and Gideon." he states plainly.
"Oh, isn't it just delightful!" Bud clasps his hands together.
"Actually, i'm against it." Stan crosses his arms.
"Is that so? Because I see it as a great business opportunity!" Bud exclaims.
That seems to catch Grunkle Stan's attention. "Business, you say?" he asks, and you can practically see the dollar signs going off in his head.
"Um, I have to go to the bathroom." you speak up, nudging Dipper lightly in the side.
"Oh, uh, me too." he deadpans.
Bud looks at you, almost as if he's just realizing you're there. "And who's this?" he asks Stan with a smile.
"This is my third niece, y/n." Stan introduces you. "From the other side of the family."
"Ah!" Bud's eyes light up, before turning to you. "The bathroom's down the hall, third door on the left. It's right across from Gideon's room."
"Right across from Gideon's room." you repeat quietly, walking off in the direction he pointed. Dipper follows close behind. The two of you walk down the hall, but instead of entering the third door on the left, you turn right, and step into a room full of diagrams and models.
"Woa." Dipper gapes, looking around.
You walk over to a small desk, which has what looks like a miniature version of the Mystery Shack sitting on it.
"This is creepy." you mutter to yourself.
Not only is there a Mystery Shack, but there are also little wooden people, each looking just like a real Gravity Falls resident. You pick up the ones of Mabel and Gideon, who's hands are glued together. The Dipper one isn't as nice as the others, as if the creator was angry or rushed when he was making it. You try to pick up the one of you, but pull your hand back when you realize that the paint is still wet.
You look down at the paint now smeared on your fingers and freeze, putting together the pieces of the puzzle. Wet paint. Wet paint. This doll was made recently. Very recently. You slowly turn towards Dipper, who's started reading one of the novels from Gideon's bookshelf.
"Dipper." you whisper frantically. "We need to leave - someone's still he-"
"Hey! What are you doing?!"  a very familiar, and angry voice yells from behind you.
