Gravity Falls REBORN

Boat Load Of Conflict

"Whatcha guys playin'?" I ask the twins after they don't notice me in the doorway for a few minutes. It's a rainy day outside the shack right now, and from that indication it means we're on episode nineteen, 'Dreamscaperers'.

Dipper answers, "Conflict Boat," without looking away. 

I lean half my weight on the door way and cross my arms with a bemused grin, "You mean, Battle Ship?" 'They won't understand anyways, might as well have some fun out of it.'

"What's that?" Mabel asks, also not moving her head, busy rearranging her pegs to make a cat face.

I point to it, "That. What you're playing right now." 

"You sure you're not thinking of another game, Macie?" My brother still doesn't move his head as he studies the board. 'Welp, I'm getting nowhere.'

"Yup, you got me, wrong game..." I roll my eyes and join them on the floor, crisscrossing my legs to get comfy.

"I'm gonna say...B five?" Dipper finally chooses his move.

"Miss! Whop!" Mabel giddily places another peg on her board. I lean to the right to see it and laugh when I do.

Given my reaction, Dipper responds appropriately, "I don't think you're playing this right..." I nod silently, agreeing with the boy.

"Kids! Come quick!" We all hear Grunkle Stan's voice off screen and we head down to see what he wants. 'To show us that Gideon commercial...' We enter the living room to see Stan watching TV, reclining in his iconic yellow chair. "I need you to laugh at this with me!" 

The commercial finishes and my brother scoffs in disgust, "Ugh, Gideon!"

"Remember when I wouldn't date him and he tried to destroy us?" the girl in a sunset sweater deadpans. 'Ever notice how her sweaters hold deeper meanings? Well, some do. This sweater actually means how the show is going darker and things will be going down from here...I love it!'

"He's always trying to trick me into losing the Mystery Shack," Stan adds. 'What should I add?'

Soos and Wendy join in the conversation as well, inputting their own complaints, "One time I caught him stealing my moisturizer." 'Ok, let's get some things straight. Either Wendy keeps her moisturizer at work, which seems unlikely, or Gideon steals it from her house. I don't know which one would be more creepy. Well, just the fact that Gideon steals her lotion...*Shivers*'

"And he's clever and conniving." 'That's how he found the second journal in the first place!'  "But extremely creepy for a ten year old." 

"And yet, our mutual hatred for him bonds us together." Soos completes our rant and we all laugh while Stan unmutes the television.

"Come on down to Li'l Gideon's Tent of Telepathy, opening soon at this location," Gideon's dad, Bud Gleeful, announces and the screen shows his tent crushing the Mystery Shack.

"So, uh, we all going to ignore that orrrr...?" I kinda steal Dipper's line.

"Yeah, should we be worried?" he spoke, but his line was slightly modified.

"Please, the only way Gideon's taking over this shack is by breaking in and stealing my deed." When Stan said this, a large crash could be heard from upstairs. I glance at Wendy and see that she furrowed her eyebrows and is now darting her eyes around.

Then she points to the ceiling, "You mean like, right now?" 

Not bothering to answer her, we all rush upstairs, me leading the group, and open the door to Stan's office, revealing Gideon attempting to open his safe. The child mumbles to himself something that isn't audible from where we're standing. 'But if you were watching the show, you could hear what he said...'
