Gravity Heroes

Chapter 7

Piedmont, California

Pines family back yard

"I can't believe you sent her that pic." Dipper said as the twins tussled in the back yard.

"What, it's not like she hasn't seen you in the lamb costume before," Mabel responded as she attempted to gain the upper hand until they both heard a shrill voice yell "Unhand me you porcine brute!"

"Wait? What?" the twins said in unison.

"Is that?" Dipper started.

"It's Franz," Mabel replied before running up to Waddles, "Alright Waddles, let him go. Now Waddles." Finally she get's Franz out of Waddles mouth and took him behind the family's shed.

"Thank you, Hugeling Mabel." Franz said once he was back on terrafirma. He adjusted his hat to make sure it was on straight and then continued to speak, "This is the second time today he and his feline friend has accosted me."

"What are you even doing here Franz?" Dipper asked as soon as he had stopped speaking.

"Well, Hugeling Dipper. I'm here as an ambassador of my people to ask for your help in a grave matter. Recently all 18 kingdoms of Lilliputtans have had some of our people go missing. I have been sent to beseech you, the Heroes of Weirdmageddon, to come back Gravity Falls to the aid of my people." Franz explained.

"Wait, what?" the twins replied in stereo.

"We wish for your help, was I not clear in my statement?" Franz asked in puzzlement.

"Are you crazy? The last time we saw you before we ran into you at the shack you were trying to kill us over a sticker." Dipper let loose, "A sticker!"

"Well it was a nice sticker." Franz tried to sound repentant.

"It was a sticker!" Dipper nearly screamed at the little man. "You all were going to gut my sister over a sticker. Give me one reason I shouldn't just give you back to Waddles."

"And we are sorry about all of that, we were all caught up in our rivalries and lost in the thought of finally being able to end them. It was wrong of us then, but now we need your help." Franz is now on his knees pleading.

"Tell you what, you silly little golf ball head. We are going to be talking with our friends in Gravity Falls in just a little bit." Mabel said trying to disperse the tension between Dipper and Franz, "For now we'll have to sneak you inside. We're already working on a mystery there that may be tied into your missing people. There have also been both Gnomes & Fairies that have been turning up missing in the woods amongst other things."

Dipper turn's from the Lilliputtin and walked back towards he house. He knows he will have to help the little nuisance but that doesn't mean he needs to like it. As he is walking back he looks at his phone and realizes that Wendy has sent him three messages apparently while he was tussling with Mabel and dealing with the twit of a golf ball.

He opens up the first message 'I've made it back to the Shack safely, thought I'd let you know as I know you have been worried about me today. The next two texts will be the pics you wanted.'

He then open the next text and there were three pics attached to it: the first was the front of the stone version of himself, next was a shot from the back, and finally a close up of the forehead area where he could just make out part of his birthmark. The last text held two pics: the first is the stone Blind Ivan from the front and the second was a back shot also. Well besides the birthmark, which he already knew about, the pictures really aren't that helpful. Maybe once he transfers them to his computer he can get a better look at them.
