Dipper's POV

I woke with a sudden jolt, screaming at the top of my lungs from a nightmare.

Dipper: *catches his breath* Uh, I just had a horrible dream that Gideon stole the deed to the Mystery Shack and kicked us out and... we all had to move with Soos's grandma!

Soos: That was no dream, dude.

Dipper: AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Abuela: *turns on the lights* Shh, por favor. *turns on the tv*

Dipper: Uh, sorry, abuelita...

Mabel: Oh, Soos, your grandma is so adorable!!! *touching abuela's cheek* And her skin is old lady soft...!!! *stares off into her cheeks*

Stan: Mabel, quit being creepy, the news is finally on!!!

Shandra: *tv* In a move that has all of Gravity Falls buzzing, child psychic Gideon Gleeful has taken surprise ownership of the Mystery Shack, previously belonging to area shyster Stanford Pines.

Stan: *looking at the picture of him dressed in a devil suit* That picture was taken out of context.

Shandra: Now that you have the shack, what exactly are you planning to do with it?!?

Gideon: *tv* I have a big announcement to make today, and I'd like to cordially invite all the good people of Gravity Falls to join me!!! Free admission to everyone who wears their Gideon pins~!!! It's my face!!! *wink*

Dipper: I just can't believe Gideon beat us! Normally I'm able to save the day... This is all my fault...

Mabel: Don't worry, Dipper, looks like Mabel's gonna have to be the family now!!! I'll defeat Gideon with my... *takes out her grappling hook* grappling hook!!!!!

Dipper: Mabel, no offense, but that grappling hook has literally never helped us once.

Mabel: Oh yeah~? Jelly grab!!! *shoots her grappling which destroys the jar of jelly, spreading it all over the wall*

Abuela: I vacuum the walls now. *starts vacuuming the wall*

Soos: So you lost the shack, look on the bright side, dudes, now you get to live here with me Soos!!! Hey, anyone wanna play race cars?!? They're out of batteries, but we can make pretend! *chokes up so cereal* Would it be a new low if I ate that? *laughs* I'm just kidding I'm totally eating it!

Stan: ...we gotta get the shack back.

We arrived at the shack. Mabel got us these freakishly ugly costumes that just made us more obvious. It was time for Gideon's big announcement and we were all hiding in the crowd with our disguises.

Gideon: Hello Gravity Falls!!! *does a dance*

Audience: *clap and cheer for Gideon*

Lazy Susan: Gideon is the psychic-est! He guest the secret ingredient to my coffee omelet!!!

Toby: Somehow he knew about my horrifying secret birthmark!!!

Manly Dan: I love the child psychic so much!!! *hugs Blubs and Durland choking them*

Blubs: *getting choked* You're choking me!!!

Durland: *getting choked* Grandma, is that you?!?

Mabel: Just wanna say: I don't know what we're doing here, but I am loving these fake mustaches!

???: Eh, you look plain ridiculous to me.

Mabel: (y/n), you're here!!!

You: *shrug*

Soos: If anyone asks, I'm not Soos!

Gideon: Ladies and gentlemen!!! Today I'm delighted to announce my new plans for the former Mystery Shack!!! I give you... *takes off the covers showing the model of an attraction park* Gideonland!!!!

You, Dipper, Mabel, Soos, and Stan: *gasp*

Gideon: We are gonna turn this dirty ol' shack into three square miles of Gidentertainment!!! *walks over to Bud who's holding a cage with a cover* And introducing our new mascot: Little Gideon Junior!!!

Bud: *takes off the covers showing Waddles dressed as Gideon*

Gideon: Boom, he's a pig!!!

Mabel: WADDLES!!! You monster!!!

Stan: Alright, that's it!!!

You, Dipper, Mabel, and Stan: *take off your disguises before climbing on stage*

Mabel: *kicks off a Gideon cutout*

Stan: Alright, listen up, people!!! Gideon's a fraud!!! This kid broke in and stole my property!!!

Mabel: Arrest him, officers!!!

You and Dipper: Yeah!!!

Gideon: Such accusations!!! Mr. Pines, I recall you gave the property to me! Look, here's the deed right here! *shows the deed*

Blubs: Well, that's all the proof I need to see.

Durland: I love you, little Gideon!!! Sing them funny songs!!!

Gideon: *snaps his fingers*

Guards: *walks over and place a hand on each of you and the others' shoulders*

Gideon: Now, would you be a dear and get of my property, old man!!!

Stan: I'll show you who's the old ma- Ow!!! Ah, my hearing aids!!!

Guards: *carry you and the others away*

Gideon: Thanks for visiting Gideonland, friends!!! Oohoo, don't come back, I don't care for y'all!

~outside the fence~

You, Dipper, Mabel, Soos, and Stan: *sigh*

Dipper: Don't worry, guys, we'll get the shack back somehow!

You: We better...

Dipper: ...

(y/n) looked down at her feet as she crossed her arms. Something was going on other than the Mystery Shack. But I didn't bring it up, maybe it was something she wouldn't like to talk about. After this, we went back to Soos's place, (y/n) came with us.

Later on we were back at Soos's place.

Abuela: This is not good, I cannot feed such a big family!

Mabel: Where will we stay, Dipper?!? Where will I put all my sweaters?!?

Dipper: And what's Stan gonna tell mom and dad...?

Soos: Oh, Mr. Pines will figure something out, he always does!

You: One can only hope...

~skip to later~

Mabel: Go red car!!!

Soos: Go other red car!!!

Dipper: This would be a lot more fun with batteries.

Soos: *pushes the car around*

Stan: *comes in and clears his throat* Kids, we gotta talk... Look, I've been thinking, I can't take care of you anymore... I don't have a house, or a job, the plan is... you're going home... *takes out two bus tickets* Your bus leaves tomorrow, here are your tickets...

Dipper: But Stan, you can't give up!!!

Soos: Yeah, dude, look at these faces!!! Be cuter, Mabel, your summer depends on it!!!

Stan: Look, I lost, ok? The best thing is for you to be with your parents. I'm sorry, kids, Gideon won... *places the tickets in the nightstand* Summer's over... *leaves*

Soos: Mr. Pines, reconsider!!! *follows Stan*

Dipper: Girls, that's enough!!! If Stan won't get our home back from Gideon then we'll have to do it ourselves!!!

Mabel: Gideon might have the upper hand, but we have one thing he doesn't!

Dipper: The journal!!!

Mabel: A grappling hook!!!! Oh, the journal. Journal!!!

That night, (y/n) decided to stay as company. I was confident we'd win this fight. I got thirsty though, and woke up in the middle of the night. Only that the place (y/n) was supposed to be sleeping in was empty...

Huh...?

That's when I noticed that the front door was slightly ajar. I hesitated before walking out. Saw a familiar shadow which made me look up. (y/n) sat on the roof, hugging her knees tightly against her chest.

I sighed before climbing up and sitting beside her.

Dipper: Um... hey...

You: Hey...

Dipper: Couldn't sleep...?

You: Not really...

Dipper: ... Hey... we're gonna get the shack back... don't worry...

You: *sigh* I don't know... We really seem to have the lower hand here...

Dipper: That doesn't mean we can't change things around though, does it...?

You: ... I guess not...

Dipper: ...

You: ... Dipper...?

Dipper: Yeah...?

You: ... If things do go south, then... maybe you should go back to California...

Dipper: What...?!?

You: You're safe there... I don't want you getting hurt... *mutter* Even though I really don't want you to leave...

Dipper: ... *wraps you in a tight embrace*

You: !!!!!!

Dipper: It doesn't matter what happens, I'll always be right here with you...

You: ... *gently hug him back*

Dipper: *blushes a bit*

You: But if things really do turn south, then promise you'll stop and leave, stay safe...

Dipper: ... *sigh* I promise...

We spent a long while like that before we both fell asleep in each other's arms. The next day we were outside the fence trying to come up with a plan.

Dipper: Alright, the bus to take us out of Gravity Falls comes at sundown. If we wanna stay in town, we've got to get past those guards, make it through the fence, and get Gideon to hand over that deed!

Mabel: Leave that to Mabel!!! *shoots her grappling hook which bounces off a tree and hits Dipper*

You: *cringe* Ouch.

Dipper: Now will you admit the grappling hook is useless?!?

Mabel: Nope!

You: *snickers*

Dipper: *opens his journal* Ok, what can we use to defeat Gideon? Let's see... Barf fairy?

Mabel: Yeah!

You: No way.

Dipper: *turns the page* Butternut squash with a human face and emotions?

Mabel: Yeah!

You: Nope.

Dipper: *turns the page*

You: What's that?

Dipper: I stared at this page for hours! It seems like a blueprint to bring some kind of strange futuristic super weapon-

Mabel: Boring!!! To defeat those guards we need some kind of army!!!

Dipper: Wait a minute, an army!!! Mabel, that's it!!! *shows her the gnome page* The gnomes!!! They're perfect!!!

You and Mabel: Uhhhhh....

We all went to find the gnomes' hideout. It was quite easy, actually. Although, I will never unsee what I saw...

You, Dipper, and Mabel: *gasp at the disturbing sight of Jeff bathing in a bathtub filled with squirrels*

Jeff: Tee-ta-ra-ta-too-*gasp*
...this...this is normal, this is normal for gnome. Scrub scrub.

You, Dipper, and Mabel: ...

Jeff: Well well well, look who came crawling back! Take five, Chris,

Squirrel: *jumps off and leaves*

Jeff: You guys keep doing what you're doing. So, changed your mind about marrying me, did you, Mabel?

Mabel: Eww, hardly! We need your help, and seriously, ew...!!!

Jeff: You want our help after you left me in the altar?!? No dice!!!

You: Well, what if we were able to get you a new queen?

Mabel: One even more beautiful than me?

Dipper: Her name's Gideon, and she has lovely white hair!

Jeff: Woah, mature woman, huh? Hey, Shmebulock, get my cologne!!!

Shmebulock: *pops out with a bottle of cologne* Shmebulock!

Jeff: Is Shmebulock all you can say...?!?

Shmebulock: Shmebulock...

Jeff: It's a deal!!! *shakes hands with Dipper*

We went back to the fence. Bud told Gideon we were there and he came to us.

Dipper: Give us the deed to the shack, Gideon!!!

You: Or else...!!!

Gideon: Am I suppose to say "or else what?"?

Mabel: Yes, you are suppose to say that!!! NOW!!!

Two Gnomes: *take down a guard each*

All the Gnomes: *break the fence and surround Gideon*

Gideon: *gasp*

Dipper: You're surrounded by an unstoppable gnome army!!! Now give us back our deed and get off our property!!!

Jeff: And let the marriage ceremony begin!!!

Gideon: *reaches for something inside his jacket as he sighs* Very well, I suppose this deed belongs to- *takes out a whistle and whistle with it causing all the gnomes to cover their ears in pain* Ha, what do you know?!? Works on gnomes too!!! *whistles some more*

Jeff: Stop, we'll do anything!!! How can we serve you, your majesty, the most beautiful girl we've ever seen!!!

Gideon: I am not a girl!!!!!!!

Jeff: Really? But your skin is so soft! You moisturize or-?

Gideon: Subdue them!!!

Gnomes: *capture you and the twins*

Gideon: I have to admit, kids, I am impressed by your creativity!

Dipper: *struggles causing the journal to fall from his vest* Oh no!!!

Gideon: No! Could it be?!? Is it-?!? *picks up the open journal as he laughs* Of course!!! It all makes sense!!! The one place I'd never think to look!!! You had it the whole time!!! And to think I actually considered you a threat! *flicks Dipper's nose*

Dipper: No, give it back!!!

Gideon: Every victory you had was because was because of your precious book!!!

Dipper: Give it back or I'll-!!!

Gideon: You'll what, boy, you'll what?!? Huh? Huh?!? No muscles, no brains, face it!!! You're nothing without this!!!

Dipper: ...

Gideon: Bye bye forever y'all!!! *blows the whistle making the gnomes drag us out into the woods*

Gnomes: *leave*

Mabel: *paces around*

Jeff: Next time do your own dirty work!!! C'mon, boys! *tells a few squirrels who enter his pocket, then leaves*

Dipper: Ugh, c'mon, girls, think! There needs to be some other way to get the shack back!!!

You: ... no, there isn't...

Dipper: There's always a way, we can't just-!

You: If things went south, you promised you'd leave to safety. That was our deal. And Dipper, we've lost, there's nothing more we can do...!

Dipper: But... but...

You: I'm sorry, Dipper... but it's over...

Dipper: ...

I didn't want to leave her... I couldn't leave her... but what choice did I have...? She was right, it really was over...

We got our bags and went to the bus stop. (y/n) came with us. Stan, Wendy, Candy, and Grenda came too. Mabel said goodbye to everyone, so did I. But we were missing someone.

Mabel: *hugs you tight as you hug her back* I'll miss you, (y/n)...

You: I'll miss you too...

Mabel: *pulls away with a sniffle before going to the open bus doors*

Dipper: ...

You: ...

Dipper: ... I-

You: *wrap him in a tight hug*

Dipper: !!! ... *hugs you back tightly*

You: Thank you...

Dipper: For what...?

You: For being my best friend... I'm really gonna miss you...

Dipper: ... I'm really gonna miss you too...

You: *pull away* Take care, Pine Hat...

Dipper: You too...

Mabel and I got in the bus which left about a minute after. I can't believe this is happening...

I has started dozing off and thought about everything about Gravity Falls, but the thing that wouldn't leave my mind... was (y/n)...

Mabel: *thinks for a bit* Hey Dipper, wanna play Bus Seat Treasure Hunt...?

Dipper: I'm not in the mood...

Mabel: Aw, c'mon! *lifts up the seat* We got Canadian coin, gum that's shaped like Ronald Reagan's head, ooh, miscellaneous fluid stain!

Dipper: Giant robot!!!!

Mabel: Yeah, giant robot- wait, what?!? *puts down the seat*

Dipper: Look!!!! *points at a ginormous Gideon robot which is running after the bus*

Gideon Robot: HAULT!!! I COMMAND YOU TO HAULT!!!

Dipper and Mabel: AHHHHH!!! *goes to the front of the bus*

Mabel: Mr. Bus Driver, there's a giant Gideon-bot coming towards us!!!

Bus Driver: Oh hey, dudes.

Dipper and Mabel: Soos!!!

Soos: Don't worry, guys, I've been a part-time bus driver for at least 40 minutes! *starts pushing buttons and pulling levers* One of these things is probably a clutch. *pulls a lever which makes the bus go faster* Hang on, dudes!!!

Gideon Robot: *tries to grab the bus which Soos avoids*

Mabel: Soos, look out!!!!! *points at Gideon Robot's hand in front of the bus*

Soos: *tries to turn but looses control of the bus and continues to drive through the path with the Closed Road sign*

Dipper, Mabel, and Soos: AHH!!!

Gideon Bot: *climbs up to catch up to the bus*

Dipper: He already won, what does he want from us?!? *looks to the front* Soos, cliff!!!!!

Dipper, Mabel, and Soos: AHHH!!!

Soos: *presses the breaks making the bus almost fall of the cliff, then he tries to drive to the front but isn't able to*

Gideon Bot: *shakes off the bus's roof but doesn't see the twins, then sees them running past the broken train tracks*

Dipper and Mabel: *gasp at the side of the blocked up tunnel*

Gideon Bot: *jumps to the tracks* TELL ME, WHERE IS JOURNAL NUMBER ONE?!?!?

Dipper and Mabel: Journal number one?!?

Gideon Bot: DON'T PLAY GAMES WITH ME, BOY!!! *punches the mountainside causing rocks to fall*

Dipper: *pulls Mabel to stop a rock from squashing her, then pulls her behind him* I don't know what you're talking about, you took the only journal I ever had!!! What do you even want with these journals anyway?!?

Gideon Bot: *picks up both twins each in one hand*

Mabel: *struggles*

Dipper: *punching Gideon Bot's hand* Let go of her!!!!!

Gideon Bot: *cackles evilly* You still think you're some kind of hero?!? *throws Dipper to a ledge*

Dipper: *lands against a rock, then stands up grunting in pain*

Gideon Bot: Once I find the final journal I'll rule this town, with you as my queen!!!!! *cackles evilly*

Mabel: Dipper, help me!!!

"Face it, kid!!! You're nothing without that journal!!! How're you gonna fight back?!? No muscles, no brains, what're you gonna do, huh?!? What're you gonna do?!?"

Dipper: ... *jumps into Gideon Bot's eye, pushing Gideon*

I had to do something. I needed to do something.

I started to walk away, only to find myself running back to the leaving robot and jumping to it, landing inside its head and tackling Gideon.

We began fighting, and I was surprisingly winning, until the robot fell from the tracks. We were all falling and screaming, and I closed my eyes preparing for the impact.

I heard a loud explosion, followed by something grabbing on to my vest. I saw Mabel holding on to me as she also held on to her grappling hook which was tied to the tracks as we safely reached the ground.

Dipper: Mabel, that was amazing!!!

Mabel: Not as amazing as you defeating that robot!!!

Dipper: *kicks over a piece of metal as Mabel playfully punches him, then notices what's beneath it* Hey, my journal! *takes the journal and tucks it in his vest*

People: *start to gather around*

Gideon: *comes out of the robot grunting in pain*

Durland: Gideon!!! *picks Gideon up* Oh, good heavens!!! *puts him on the ground* What on earth happened here?!?

Gideon: *hugging Blubs* It was the Pines twins!!! They tried to attack me and blew up my statue with dynamite!!! Arrest them!!!

Dipper and Mabel: What?!?

Dipper: Officers, he's lying!!!

Blubs: Sorry, kids, but we trust Gideon. And nothing short of a miracle could ever change our-

We see a familiar car pull up. From inside came Stan with (y/n) following behind him.

Stan: Wait, wait, stop everything!!!!! I've got something to say!!!!!

Blubs: Not this guy again!

Stan: Just wait, look!!!! You guys think Gideon is sooo perfect and honest!!! "Oh, I could never tell a lie, I'm Gideon!!!"

Blubs: He's more honest than you!

Durland: Yeah, and he's psychic too!!!

You: How's this for psychic?!? *kick down a big piece of the robot revealing many monitors showing many people* Take a good look!!!!

Lazy Susan: Wait a minute, is that me?!?

Lazy Susan: *in the recording* The secret ingredient to my coffee omelet is coffee!!!

Toby: And me!!!

Doctor: *in the recording* I can verify that that birthmark is indeed disgusting.

Toby: *in the recording* Hurray!!!

People: *started pointing at different monitors claiming it was them*

Stan: That's right, these pins are hidden cameras!!! And my hearing aid was picking up the feedback!!!

You: *showing the pin* Who's the fraud now?!? *throw the pin to the ground and step on it*

People: *throw the pins to the ground before glaring and walking to Gideon*

Durland: Gideon, we gave you our trust!

Manly Dan: You lied to us!!!

Gideon: Please I- Ooh- It's not what it looks like- What are you gonna do with me?!?

Durland: Tyler?

Tyler: ...get'm, *wipes tears away* get'm...

Gideon: *gasp*

Blubs: Little Gideon, you are under arrest for conspiracy, fraud, and breaking our hearts... Durland, the tiny handcuffs.

Durland: *puts the handcuffs on Gideon's wrists*

Gideon: What?!? No!!!

Dipper and Mabel: *smile at each other*

Stan: *opens the police car's back door* Just one more thing. *picks up Gideon and shakes off many of his things including the deed, then he picks it up* I believe this belongs to me!!! *poses for the camera*

Gideon: *gets pushes inside* No, no, not the hair!!!!! *as the police drive him away* You can't do this to me!!! You'll see!!! You need me!!! I'll be back!!! You'll here from my lawyer!!!

Mabel: *hugs you tight* (Y/N)!!! I missed you!!!

You: We were apart for less than half an hour!!!

Mabel: I still missed you!!!

You: *laugh and hug her back, then notice Dipper smiling at you, you smile back*

Shandra Jimenez: *at the camera* Well, there you have it, local hero Stanford Pines has just exposed little Gideon as a fraud! Anything you have to say to the town, Stanford?

Stan: The Mystery Shack is back, baby!!!

We go back home and got our room back the way it used to be, (y/n) helped us. I was overjoyed to know we'd still be in Gravity Falls for another while.

Mabel: *placing posters on the wall* Meow meow meow meow meow!

You: Hey Stan.

Stan: *enters* Uh, you kiddos settling back in ok?

Mabel: Yep, all my favorite moldy spots on the ceiling are still there!!! *looks up* Even you, Darrel!

I took out my journal and look at the girls, they nodded to what we were about to do.

Dipper: Hey Grunkle Stan? Me, (y/n), and Mabel have been talking and I think there's something we should finally tell you.

Stan: *sits next to Dipper*

Dipper: *gives Stan the journal* This is a journal (y/n) had found in the woods, it talks about all the crazy stuff that goes on in Gravity Falls! Gideon nearly destroyed the whole town trying to find it. I don't know what it means or who wrote it, but after all we've been through, maybe you should finally know about it.

Stan: I'm glad you showed me this Dipper. *laughs uncontrollably* Now I know where you've been getting it all from!!! Spookums and monsters, this cooky book has been filling your head with crazy conspiracies!!!

Dipper: But it's all real!!!

Stan: Haha, you've gotta quit reading this fantasy nonsense!!! For your own good!!! Although some of these would make great attractions!!! Can't come up with this stuff!!! Mind if I borrow this?!? *stands up and goes to the door*

Dipper: WAIT, NO!!! Grunkle Stan!!!

Stan: Magic book!!! *laughs and leaves*

Dipper: Stan, I need it!!!

Mabel: Dipper, you don't need that book!!! Don't you see?!? On your own you defeated a giant robot with nothing but your bare hands!!! You're a hero wether you got that journal or not!!!

Dipper: Woah, thanks, Mabel! ...I still want it back though.

You: I'm sure you'll get it back.

Mabel: Yeah, what would a boring old man like Stan want with that book anyways?

Dipper: *laughs* True.

Just then we were shot by water, Soos popped out with two water guns in hand saying "Soosed!!!". We laughed before chasing after him. I'm glad we got the shack back, and I got to keep my promise after all.

Thanks for reading!!! 'Till next time!!!

❤️❤️❤️
