Your POV

It had been a few days since I moved in with the twins and Stan. Being completely honest I liked having a roof for once. My arm was fully healed now, so I flew down to the kitchen, and this is what I see.

Mabel: *sitting on the table in the kitchen while holding a bottle of syrup* Are you ready for the ultimate challenge?!?

Dipper: *sitting next to Mabel holding another bottle of syrup* I'm always ready!!!

Mabel: Then you know what this means!!!

Dipper and Mabel: Syrup race!!! *open their syrup bottles and hold them just above their open mouths as the syrup slowly comes out* Ahh....!!!

Mabel: Go Sir Syrup!!!

Dipper: Go Mounty Man!!!

Dipper and Mabel: Go!!! Go!!! Go!!!

Mabel: Almost... almost... *slightly hits the bottom of the bottle which causing a bit of syrup to land on her mouth* Yes!!! *coughs a few times* I won!!! *coughs some more*

You: I sometimes question your ideas of fun.

Dipper: *gets startled, then sees it's you in bird form on the remaining chair*

Mabel: Good morning, (y/n)!!!! I see your arm- er, wing? Your limb has gotten better!!!

You: Yeah! *turn human* Thanks, by the way.

Dipper: *grabs a nearby newspaper* Hoho, no way! Hey, check this out!

Mabel: "Human sized hamster ball?!?" *gasp* I'm human-sized!!!

Dipper: No no, Mabel, this. We see weirder stuff than that everyday! We didn't get any pictures of those gnomes, did we?

You: I will die before I get a picture of those freaks.

Mabel: Only memories!!! *pulls out some locks of gray beard hair* And this beard hair!!!

Dipper: Why did you save that...?

Mabel: *shrugs*

You: Can you give it to me, please?

Mabel: *gives you the locks of hair*

You: *burn it* Goodbye forever.

Dipper: *laughs*

Mabel: What if we take a picture of
(y/n)?!?

You: Uh, no. I do not want to be known all throughout the world.

Mabel: Really? Cuz I sure do!!!

Stan: Good morning, knuckleheads! You guys know what day it is?!?

Dipper: Um, happy anniversary?

You: Happy birthday!

Mabel: Mazel tov!!!

Stan: *hits Dipper with the newspaper* It's Family Fun Day, genius!!! *opens the fridge* We're cutting off work to do one of those *sniffs the milk* bonding type deals.

Dipper: *adjusting his hat* Grunkle Stan, is this gonna be like our last family bonding day?

Mabel: *shivers* The county jail was so cold...

Dipper: We're lucky that (y/n) was able to get us out.

Stan: Alright, maybe I haven't been the best summer caretaker, but I swear today we're gonna have some real family fun! Now who wants to put on some blindfolds and get into my car?!?

Dipper and Mabel: Yay!!!!!

Dipper: Wait what?

The three of them got in Stan's car. Yeah there's no way I'm letting them go alone. Knowing Stan he'll probably crash the car by the next minute.

I followed the car flying above it without them noticing me. When the car stopped, or crash, they were lucky it was at their destination. The lake.

Stan: Ok ok, open them up!!!

Dipper and Mabel: *take off their blindfolds*

Stan: Ta-da!!!! It's fishing season!!!!

Mabel: Fishing?

Dipper: What are you playing at, old man?

Stan: You're gonna love it!!! The whole town's out here!!! *sees all the people in the lake* That's some quality family bonding!!!

You: *land on top of the car* Suddenly I have an urge to eat fish.

Dipper: Why do you keep sneaking up on us?!?!?

You: It's what I do~

Stan: What are you going here, kid?

You: To watch over the twins, I can't trust you with them.

Mabel: Why did you fly here instead of driving with us?

You: I get car sick. *turn human and jump off landing on the ground*

Dipper: Grunkle Stan, why do you wanna "bond" all of a sudden?

Stan: C'mon, this is gonna be great!!! I've never had fishing buddies before. The guys from the lodge won't go with me. They don't "like" or "trust" me.

You: Shocker.

Mabel: I think he actually wants to fish with us!

Stan: Hey, I know what'll cheer you sad sacks up!!! *puts on hats on Dipper and Mabel* Pow!!! Pines family fishing hats!!! That's... that'll hand stitching.

Dipper and Mabel: *take off their hats to inspect then, Mabel's saying Mabel and Dipper's saying Dippy*

You: Aww, that's adorable! It suits you!

Dipper: *glares at you*

Stan: It's just gonna be you, me, and those goofy hats on a boat for ten hours!!!

Dipper: Ten hours?!?

Stan: I brought the joke book!!!

Dipper: No, no!!!

Mabel: *whispers* There has to be a way out of this!!!

McGucket: I'd seen it!!! I'd seen it again!!! *runs passed many people and breaking many things* The Gravity Falls Gobblewonker!!! Quick before it scrabdoodles away!!! *does a weird dance*

Mabel: Aww, he's doing a happy jig!!!

McGucket: No!!! It's a jig of grave danger!!!

Tate: *comes out of the den* Hey, hey!!! Now what did I tell you about scaring my customers?!? This is your last warning, dad!!! *sprays the old man with water*

McGucket: But I got proof this time, by gummity!!! *goes to the dock* Behold, it's the Gobbley-wonker what done did it!!! *points at a broken boat* It had a long neck like a gee-raffe!!!  And wrinkly skin like uh, like this gentleman right here!!! *points at Stan who's picking his ear and not paying attention* It shot my boat up to smitheroons and ship shaped over to Scuttlebutt Island!!! You've gotta believe me!!!

Blubs: Attention all units, we got ourselves a crazy old man.

Everyone Except You, Dipper, Mabel, Stan, and Tate: *laugh at McGucket*

Tate: *slowly shakes his head in disappointment*

McGucket: Oh donkey spittle... Oh banjo polish... *walks away*

Everyone: *goes back to doing whatever they were doing*

Stan: Well that happened. *gets on his boat* Now let's untie this boat and get out on that lake!!!

Dipper: Girls, did you hear what that old dude said?!?

Mabel: *mimicking McGucket* Oh donkey spittle!!!

Dipper: The other thing, about the monster!!! If we can snag a photo of it, we can split the prize between all three of us!!!

You: I don't want the money, you two can divide it for both of you.

Mabel: That's so much money!!!

Dipper: Imagined what you could do with five hundred dollars?!?

Mabel: *turns around and starts hallucinating*

You: And............. she's gone.

Dipper: *snapping his fingers in front of her face* Mabel! Mabel?

Mabel: *shakes her head* Dipper, I am one million percent on board with this!!!

Dipper: What about you, (y/n)?!?

You: Eh, why not. Someone's gotta keep an eye on you two.

Dipper: *smiles then walks over to Stan* Grunkle Stan, change of plans, we're taking that boat to Scuttlebutt Island and we're gonna find that Gobblewonker!!!

Dipper and Mabel: Monster hunt!!! Monster hunt!!!

McGucket: Monster hunt!! Monster-!!! Eh, I'll go... *walks away*

Soos: *drives his boat by the dock* You dudes say something about a monster hunt?

Mabel: Soos!!!

Soos: What's up, hambone?

Mabel and Soos: *fist bump*

Soos: Dude, you could totally use my boat for the hunt! It's got a starring wheel, chairs, normal boat stuff. Alright alright, let's think this through. You kids could go waist your time on some epic monster fighting adventure, or you could spend the day learning how to tie knots and skewer worms with your great uncle Stan!!!

You: This is a family matter so I'm just gonna... yeah... *get on Soos's boat*

Dipper and Mabel: ... *look at Soos who starts dancing like a robot, then look at Stan who sniffs his armpit, then look at Scuttlebutt Island and smile*

Stan: So what do you say?!? *notices the twins get on Soos's boat and you all drive off* ...

Dipper and Mabel: *cheer*

Dipper: *goes to the front* Host the anchor!!!

Soos: *lifts up a cinderblock*

Dipper: Raise the flag!!!

Mabel: *raises a towel* We're gonna find that Gobblewonker!!!

Dipper: We're gonna win that photo contest!!!

Soos: Do any of you dudes have sunscreen?!?

Dipper: We're gonna... go get sunscreen!!!

~time skip~

Dipper: Alright, if we wanna win this contest we've gotta do it right. Think, what's the number one problem with most monster hunts?

Soos: If you're a side character you die in the first five minutes of the movie. ... Dude, am I a side character?!? Do you ever think about stuff like that?!?

Dipper: No no no. Camera trouble! Let's say Big Foot shows up! Soos, be Big Foot.

Soos: *does a Big Foot pose*

Dipper: "There he is!!! Big Foot!!! Uh-oh, no camera!!! *takes a camera* Oh wait, here's one!!! Ah, no film-" you see? You see what I'm doing here?

Mabel: Mhm.

You: Yeah.

Soos: Dude's got a point.

Dipper: That's why I bought eighteen disposable cameras!!! Two on my ankle, three on my jacket, four for each of you, and one under my hat! There's no way we're gonna miss this! Alright, everyone, let's test our cameras out!

You, Mabel, and Soos: *take out a camera each*

Soos: *takes a picture of himself and gets startled by the flash* AH DUDE!!! *throws the camera into the ocean*

Dipper: See? This is exactly why you need backup cameras! We still have seventeen!

Mabel: AH BIRD!!! *throws the camera at a passing bird*

Dipper: Sixteen! Ok guys, I repeat, don't loose the cameras!

Soos: Wait, loose the cameras?

Dipper: DON'T!!!

Soos: Dude, I just threw two away.

Mabel: *raises her hands to laugh hitting your nose* Oops, sorry, (y/n)!!!

You: *feel a sneeze coming* Uh-oh... *sneezes making flames form all over you for a second burning the camera, then you sniffle*

Dipper, Mabel, and Soos: *stare at you in shock* ...

You: What? My sneezes are a bit deadly. ...literally. Sorry about the camera.

Dipper: Thirteen!!! We still have thirteen came- *punches the camera on the mini fridge* ...twelve. We have twelve cameras.

Mabel: So what's the plan?!? Throw more cameras overboard or what?!?

Dipper: NO!!! No, ok, Mabel, you and (y/n) will be lookouts. Soos can work the steering wheel, and I'll be captain.

Mabel: What?!? Why do you get to be captain?!? What about Mabel, huh?!? Ma-bel!!! Ma-bel!!! Ma-bel!!! Ma-bel!!!

Dipper: I'm not sure that's a good idea.

You: I have to agree with Pine.

Mabel: What about co-captain?!?

You and Dipper: There's no such thing as co-captain.

Mabel: Ah, whoops. *throws a camera overboard*

Dipper: Ok fine!!! You can be co-captain!

Soos: Can I be associate co-captain?

Mabel: As co-captain, I authorize that request!!!

Dipper: Well, as first co-captain, our number one order of business is to lure the monster out with this. *points at a barrel with fish food*

Soos: Permission to taste some?

Dipper: Granted.

Mabel: Permission co-granted!!!

Soos: Permission associate co-granted. *takes one fish cracker and licks it, then gags*

You, Dipper, and Mabel: *laugh uncontrollably*

Soos: Dude, I don't know what I expected that to taste like.

Some time later I was in my phoenix form on the railing of the front of the boat. I've always loved the feeling of the wind in my wings. I heard footsteps near me and look to the side.

You: Hey, Pine.

Dipper: Will you ever stop calling me that?

You: No I will not~

Dipper: *rolls his eyes*

Dipper's POV

I began to examine (y/n) in her phoenix form. It really was a beautiful and majestic bird. Suddenly a question popped into my mine, and a bit of worry came.

Dipper: Is this dangerous for you?

You: Huh?

Dipper: We're in the middle of a body of water. Is water your weakness?

You: Well, it takes a lot more energy to use my powers when in water, but it doesn't harm me or anything. Why the sudden question~?

Dipper: !!! Just uh, just curious.

You: Really~? That's the first time you ask me something about, well, me.

Dipper: Um-

Luckily the lake mist took over and I didn't have to answer the question. It got a bit dark, and (y/n) began to glow.

Your POV

Some time after...

Mabel: *while holding a pelican's beak* Hey, how's it going?!? *as the pelican's voice* It's going awesome!!! Bow-bow-buh-bow-bow!!!

Dipper: Mabel, leave that thing alone!

Mabel: Oh I don't mind none!!! Hey look, I'm drinking water!!! *starts drinking water* Twinkle twinkle little- *coughs making the pelican fly away*

You: Aren't you suppose to be helping me doing lookout?

Mabel: Lookout!!! *throws a beach ball in Dipper's and your direction*

You: *fly and land on Dipper's hat making the ball hit Dipper*

Dipper: *lets out a... whimper? idfk*

You: *snort as you hold in a laugh*

Mabel: *laughs* But seriously I'm on it.

Crash!

Mabel: See?!? We're here!!! I'm a lookout genius!!! *jumps off the boat* Hamster ball, here we come!!!

Dipper: *glares at you*

You: What? She distracted me. *fly off the boat and turn human, landing on the ground*

Dipper and Soos: *climb off the boat*

You, Dipper, Mabel, and Soos: *walk for about five to ten seconds until finding a sign that says Scuttlebutt*

Soos: Dude, check it out. *covers Scuttle with his arm* Butt Island.

Mabel: Soos, your rapscallion!!!

You: Ten out ten comedy!

Dipper: ...

Mabel: Hey, why aren't you laughing?!? Are you scared~?!?

Dipper: Yeah right, I'm not-

You: AHHHHHHHH!!!

Dipper: What?!? What happened?!?

You: Absolutely nothing!!!

You and Mabel: *laugh*

Dipper: *growls*

You, Dipper, Mabel, and Soos: *hear strange sounds*

Soos: Dude, did you guys hear that?

Mabel: What was that...?!? Was it your stomach...?!?

Soos: Nah, my stomach usually makes whale noises.

You and Mabel: *look at each other before placing their ears against Soos's stomach and hearing whale noises*

You: Wow, beautiful...!!!!!

Mabel: So majestic...!!!!!

You and Mabel: *pull away*

Dipper: *sees a rat steal his lantern* Our lantern!!! Ah, I can't see anything!

Soos: Dude, I don't know, man. Maybe this uh... maybe this isn't worth it.

Dipper: Not worth it?!? Guys, imagine what would happen if we got that picture!!! *daydreams*

Mabel: *daydreams*

You and Soos: ...

Dipper: I'm in!!!

Mabel: Me too!!!

Soos: But it's super dark, dude, how will we see?

You: Ahem? *create a small fireball which floats on the palm of your hand*

Mabel: Whoa, that's amazing!!!

You: Heh, thanks.

Dipper: C'mon, let's go!!!

You, Dipper, and Mabel: *run off soon followed by Soos*

~time skip~

Soos: *beatboxing*

Mabel: My name is Mabel!!! It rhymes with table!!! It also rhymes with glabel!!! It also rhymes with... shmabel!!!

Soos: Dude, we should be writing this down!!!

You: No we shouldn't.

Dipper: *whispers* Guys guys guys!!! Did you hear something?!?

...

You, Dipper, Mabel, and Soos: *hear many birds flying away startled*

Dipper: *gasp* This is it...!!! This is it...!!!

Mabel: *playfully puches Dipper multiple times* Yes yes yes yes yes!!!

You: *make the fireball bigger as you follow the twins*

Soos: *grabs a branch with a sharp end and follows you*

You, Dipper, Mabel, and Soos: *see a monster's silhouette before you all hide behind a log*

Dipper: *whispers* Everyone, get your cameras ready.

Mabel and Soos: *raise their cameras*

You: *whisper* Guys, I don't think-

Dipper: Ready? GO!!!

Soos: *runs at the silhouette taking many pictures* AHHH!!!

Dipper and Mabel: *run after Soos*

You: ... *sigh, then walk over to see broken wooden pieces with beavers on them*

Soos: *takes a picture*

Dipper: But... but what was that noise then? I heard a monster noise?

You, Dipper, Mabel, and Soos: *see a beaver with a chainsaw*

Soos: Sweet! Beaver with a chainsaw! *takes a picture*

You: How's it not dead yet?

Dipper: Maybe that old guy was crazy after all...

Mabel: He did you the word scrapdoodle...

Dipper: *sighs before sitting on a rock on the edge of the lake*

Soos: *takes many pictures of a beaver*

Dipper: What are we gonna say to Grunkle Stan...? We ditched him over nothing... *throws a rock* ... Hey, guys, do you feel that? *falls in the water after the rock he sat on disappeared* Hey hey, whoa whoa!!!

You and Soos: *help Dipper back on shore*

You, Dipper, Mabel, and Soos: *see a large beast swimming in the lake*

Dipper: This is it...!!!! *takes out a camera and takes a picture* C'mon, this is our chance!!!

You, Mabel, and Soos: *start backing up slowly*

Dipper: What's wrong with you guys?!?

Mabel: Dipper...

Soos: Dude...

You: Pine...

Dipper: It's not that hard, alright? All you gotta do is point and shoot! Like this! *points the camera at the monster only to realize it's in front of him, then he drops the camera*

Gobblewonker: *is about to attack Dipper*

You: *throw a fireball at the Gobblewonker making it flinch away, then you grab Dipper's arm and start running*

Dipper: *sees a tree about to fall on Mabel, then pushes her out of the way*

Soos: *picks up Mabel*

You: Keep going!!!!! *turn into a phoenix and fly towards the Gobblewonker*

Dipper: What are you doing?!?!?!?!?

You: Buying you all some time!!!!!! *try to burn the Gobblewonker*

Dipper: *tries to go run to you but gets stopped by Soos picking him up making him drop the camera* The picture!!!

Soos: Dude, if it makes you feel any better, I got tons of pictures of those beavers!!!

Dipper: WHY WOULD THAT MAKE ME FEEL BETTER?!?!?!?

Soos: *climbs the boat and drops the twins* Let's get out of here, dudes!!! *starts driving the boat in reverse*

Mabel: Wait!!! What about (y/n)?!?!?

You: *fly to the boat and turn human, crashing into the wall* JUST GO!!!

Soos: *drives away, the Gobblewonker still following*

Dipper: Alright, this is it!!! *takes out a camera* Cracked lens?!?!?!? Soos, get a photo!!!!

Soos: *throws many cameras at the Gobblewonker in a panic*

Dipper: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?

Soos: Oh, I still have one left!!! Don't worry, dude!!! *throws the camera which crashes against the boat wall next to Dipper*

Gobblewonker: *is about to attack the boat*

You: *create a big fireball and throw it at the Gobblewonker making it flinch*

Soos: *drives the boat at full speed*

Dipper: GO GO GO GO GO!!!

Soos drives passed many fishing boats, not to mention a beavers den making it rain beavers on us. Dipper had two biting his hat, Mabel had a few on her arm, Soos was getting scratched in the face by one, and I had two pulling my hair.

As I pulled them out and threw them at the water, I saw Mabel grab the wheel and try her best to drive the boat. The Gobblewonker absolutely destroyed the boat, but it still managed to keep going. We were now driving into the waterfall, Mabel screaming at us.

Mabel: WHERE DO I GO!!!

You: Go straight!!! There's a cave in there!!!

Mabel: WHAT?!?

Dipper, Mabel, and Soos: AHHHH!!!!

Boat: *goes through the waterfall and crashes into the ground, making you all get pushed out and land on the ground*

You: See?

Gobblewonker: *tries to get through*

You, Dipper, Mabel, and Soos: AHHHHHHH!!!

Gobblewonker: *gets stuck on the cave opening*

Mabel: It's stuck!!!

Dipper: Haha, yeah!!! Wait. It's stuck?!? *searches for a camera, then begins to panic at not finding one*

Mabel: *lifts Dipper's hat revealing a camera* Boop.

Dipper: *laughs in excitement as he takes the camera and takes many pictures*

Mabel: Did you get a good one?!?

Dipper: They're all good once!!!

You, Dipper, Mabel, and Soos: *cheer, then see a large piece of rock landing on the Gobblewonker's head making sparks form around it as it slowly reaches the ground*

Dipper: What the...?

You: *jump and land on the Gobblewonker's flipper*

Dipper: *cautiously follows you* 

Mabel: What's wrong?!?

You: *slightly punch the Gobblewonker making a metallic sound* Huh. *climb to the other side, Dipper following behind*

Soos: Careful, dudes!!!

Dipper: We've got this, hold on!

You and Dipper: *see a strange trap door, then look at each other confused*

You: Hey guys, come check this out!!!

Mabel and Soos: *climb to you and Dipper*

Dipper: *opens it revealing Old Man McGucket on a chair pulling many levers*

McGucket: Eh?!? Aw banjo polish...

Dipper: You?!? You made this?!? W-why?!?

McGucket: Well, I... I uh... I just wanted attention...

Dipper: I still don't understand!

McGucket: Well, first I just hootenannied up a biomechanical brainwave generator and I learned to operate a stick-shift with ma' beard!

Mabel: Ok, yeah, but why did you do it?

McGucket: Well, when you get to be an old feller like me nobody pays any attention to you anymore. My own son hasn't visited me in months. So I figured that I'd catch his fancy with a fifteen ton aquatic rober! *laughs maniacally, then sighs* In retrospect it seems a bit contrived. You just don't know the lengths us old timers go through for a little quality time with our family.

Dipper and Mabel: *look a their fishing hats with sadness, then sigh*

Soos: Dude, I guess the real lake monster is you two, haha!

You: *slightly punch Soos*

Soos: Sorry, it just like boom just popped into my head there.

Mabel: So, did you ever talked to your son about how you felt?

McGucket: No sir, I got to work straight on the robot. I made lots of robots in my days! Like when my wife left me and I created a homicidal pterodactyl tron, oh and my pal Ernie didn't come to my retirement party and I constructed and eighty ton shame bot that exploded the entire downtown area!!! *laughs maniacally* Well, time to get back to work on my death ray! Any you kids got a screwdriver?

Dipper: So much for the photo contest...

Mabel: There's still one roll of film left.

Dipper: What do you wanna do with it...?

You: *gasp lightly* I have an idea.

We drove the broken boat back to the lake and found Stan on his small boat looking pretty down.

Dipper: Hey!!! Over hear!!! *takes a picture of Stan*

Stan: What the-?!? Kids?!? I thought you two were off playing spin the bottle with Soos and (y/n).

Dipper: Well we spent all day trying to find a legendary dinosaur.

Mabel: But we realized the only dinosaur we want to spend time with is right here.

Stan: Save your sympathy!!! I've bee having a great time without ya!!! Making friends, talking to my reflection, I got a run-in with the lake police!!! Guess I gotta wear this ankle bracelet now, that'll be fun.

Dipper: So I guess there isn't room in that boat for three more?

Stan: ...

Dipper and Mabel: *put on their hats*

Stan: ...you knuckleheads ever seen me thread a hook with my eyes closed?

Dipper: Five bucks says you can't do it!

Stan: You're on!

Dipper: *jumps into the boat*

Mabel: Five more bucks says you can't do it with your eyes closed, plus with me singing at the top of my lungs!!!

Stan: I like those odds!!!

Mabel: *jumps on the boat*

You: *jump on the boat* I bet ten bucks you can't do it with what you already have, plus with the hook having extreme heats!!!

Stan: Now you're talking!!!

You: *jump on the boat*

Soos: *climbs on the boat*

Stan: Whoa, what happened to your shirt?

Soos: Long story, dude.

You: *take Dipper's camera* Before, everyone get together! Say "fishing"!

Mabel and Stan: Fishing!!!

Soos: Dude, am I in the frame?

You: *take a picture*

We weren't able to find the real Gobblewonker, even though I know he's out there.

...somewhere.

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