"Dipper!" A frightened Mabel called. She felt herself drifting farther and farther away from her brother. "Mabel!" Dipper shouted back, attempting to reach for her. "Dipper, don't leave me!" Mabel cried tearfully quickly becoming a blur in the endle...
Dipper walked into the vending machine/elevator and hurried to Ford's lab to assist him with some research.
"Gah, no!" "Get back!" Ford cried out through the door startling Dipper.
"Great Uncle Ford?" "Are you ok?" He asked fumbling for the small knob. He saw Ford fighting off a peculiar, but familiar beast...the shapshifter. A denomic creature that had the ability to take the form of, and impresionante anyone or anything.
*cue theme song*
"Dipper!" "Dipper get away, he'll attack you!" Ford called worriedly while trying to fight off the creature.
"No, what do I do?" "How do I stop it?" Dipper demanded using a small pointed stick type thing as a weapon.
"You have to-Ow!" Ford hissed. Then, Dipper realized something...Ford's voice sounded a little deeper than normal...he hesitantly hit him over the head.
"Dipper!?" "ugh I'm going to mutilate you little-
"No!" "Your the Shapshifter!" "Where's my uncle?!" Dipper demanded angrily.
The shapshifter laughed and turned into his original form. "That's for me to know and you to find out kid!" It hissed starting to attack Dipper. He used the weapon to fight back.
"Grunkle Ford, Grunkle Ford!" Dipper cried out struggling to fight off the beast.
"Dipper?!" "I'm in here, hurry!" Ford called from a small closet. Dipper obediently ran into the tiny room and locked it immediately.
"Are you alright Great Uncle Ford?" "How'd he get here?" Dipper asked.
Ford sighed. "I was an idiot Dipper, I found the shapeshifter and trapped it to do research...Long ago I had done the same with my former assistant...FiddleFord." "It got loose, took my form and attacked me so I took shelter in here." Ford explained.
"Woah, I thought I killed it!" Dipper exclaimed. Ford stared at him with a confused look.
"You went up against him?!" "When was this?" Ford inquired. Dipper shrugged. "Last summer, a few weeks before you came, Wendy, Mabel, Soos and I went to this bunker to try and find well...the author...and Wendy and I met this guy who we thought was you and he almost killed Wendy....so yeah, pretty intense." Dipper exclaimed.
"Did you say bunker?" "That was mine!" "FiddleFord and I did work and research there!" Ford cheered.
"Really?!" "Well, we actually found Mcgucket's old laptop and that kinda was interesting!" Dipper recalled smiling.
Ford wrote in exitment in the journal. "That's increible!" "But right now, we've got to find a way to kill that thing once and for all!" He declared.
"Right!" "Um, Wendy hit it with her ax, which she lost...and we pushed it into the freeze chamber and left!" Dipper remembered.
Ford nodded. "Alright, I have an idea...I'll take this knife and attack it, when I yell, open the chamber and close it, got it?" Ford decided.
Dipper nodded. They slowly entered the room and Dipper took his place by the chamber. Ford snuck up on the shapeshifter and stabbed it.
"Dipper, now!" Ford ordered dodging the creature's flailing arms. Dipper went to flip the switch, but was pushed to the ground by the shapeshifter as it took the form of Ford.
"Um, um..." Dipper stuttered in confusion not knowing who was who.
"C'mon Dipper, push him in!" The Ford on the left shouted.
"Dipper, he's the shapeshifter, push him in now!" The second Ford ordered.
"Um...um, Grunkle Ford, give me a sign!" Dipper cried extremely confused.
The first version of Ford gave Dipper a death glare and mouthed the words "it's me!".
The other shouted pleadingly. "Dipper, look into my eyes!" "It's me, Dipper!" "Push him in, please!" He begged.
Dipper looked into his eyes seeing fear and trust. He pushed in the first Ford, indeed the shapeshifter and closed the chamber. The beast returned to it's normal form and hissed.
"You will pay Stanford Pines, You'll both pay!" He sneered clawing at the glass in rage as he rapidly froze.
"I don't think so, Shifty!" Ford replied. He took out a blaster and blew up the chamber pulling Dipper to saftey and quickly taking cover.
*BOOM*
The explosion rang out...the shapeshifter was gone once and for all...
Both individuals coughed and surveyed the damage, surprisingly there was a hole, but everything else was intact. Dipper and Ford were coated with dust.
"I'm glad Lee and everyone else went to the mall...." Ford announced in relief. Both quickly patched up the gape with wood and tile just in time.
"Sixer, Kid!" "Were home!" Stan announced. Mabel, Wendy, Soos, Will, Candy and Grenda followed behind.
"Woah!" "What the heck happened when we were gone?!" "We left a half hour ago!" Stan asked once he saw their dift covered faces.
"The shapeshifter escaped and we had to freeze it, and blow it up!" "Sorry about the hole Grunkle Stan, but we patched it up!" Dipper explained exitedly.
"Huh, well ok then...." "Who wants food?!" Stan announced. "Me!" Practically everyone yelled.
"Alright then, so...you dudes ok?" Wendy inquired. "Yeah, we're fine, it did the old impersination trick with Grunkle Ford, but we handled it!" Dipper proudly replied.
"Sweet, dude!" "Your awesome man!" Wendy praised playfully punching him in the arm.
"Thanks!" Dipper blushed. Mabel attacked Dipper in a hug. "Bro bro, guess what I bought for Waddle!" She cherred holding out a small bag.
"What?" He asked loking inside. "A random sweater!" "So I can have Waddles next to me all the time!" Mabel squealed demonstrating.
Dipper laughed before heading with Ford to the lab to continue their unfinished research. Stan ordered some pizza, Will and Mabel talked, and Candy and Grenda bugged Wendy.
"Sometimes things turn interesting in the blink of an eye..."
