Your POV

We had lost the shack to Gideon Gleeful. None of us were happy. I wasn't happy. I mean, after years of being in the woods alone I finally had a family who cared enough to put a roof over my head. And now that roof had been destroyed.

All of these thoughts had kept me awake at night, so I was scared when Pine woke up screaming.

Dipper: AHHHH!!! *breathes heavily* 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 if 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...

You: Don't torture yourself, Pine, you did what you could.

Mabel: Don't worry, guys, 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!

You: I'm not!!!

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*

You: *turn phoenix to try and escape but the guard catches you before you could*

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!

Wendy: *comes* We better.

Dipper: Wendy!

Wendy: If I can't work at the shack, my dad's gonna force me to work upstate at my cousin's logging camp!

Dipper: What?!? You're leaving town?!? But we need you here!!!

Soos: Yeah, especially Dipper because of his giant crush on-

Dipper: *glares at Soos*

Soos: You........calyptus trees!!! The kid lives eucalyptus trees! *laughs awkwardly* Saved it!

Wendy: Oh man, guys... Don't look now...

Robbie: *comes out of the bushes holding a giant boombox* Take me back, Wendy!!! My arms are too skinny to keep holding this boombox forever!!!

Wendy: *as she puts on her helmet* I was never here. *leaves in her bicycle*

Robbie: Have you been getting my texts?!? Do I need to send you more texts?!? Wendy!!!!! *follows Wendy*

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: ...

I began to think: what if I leave? They'll have more room. I was never really a part of this family anyways, and I was already used to being homeless...

~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!!!

I wanted to get the shack back, but I also didn't want the twins to get hurt in any way. Even if it meant never seeing then again...

Dipper's POV

Ever since we lost the shack, (y/n) has been acting more quiet than usual. I mean, she's never really quiet so it got me a bit worried. We needed the shack back. 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* Yikes...

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

Mabel: Nope!

You: Can't you just let me burn him and be done with it?

Dipper: No, knowing you you'll probably burn him to death, and we don't want to be accused for murder.

You: Ugh, fine.

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*

You: Am I still not aloud to burn him?!?

Dipper: *glared at you while struggling*

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!!!

You: *growl and turn completely on fire making the gnomes let go of you, then prepare to throw a fireball*

Gideon: *blows the whistle*

Some Gnomes: *soak you with water making your flames disappear, then they capture you again*

You: AH, C'MON!!!

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

Gnomes: *leave*

Mabel: *paces around*

You: *squeezing water out of your hair*

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.

Dipper and Mabel: *look at you as if you just grew an extra head*

You: Don't you see?!? We lost!!! This isn't some game where you have multiple chances!!! And we wasted our only chance!!! ... *tears forming in her eyes* It's best if you both just go back to California...

Mabel: What?!?

Dipper: There's no way we're leaving with Gideon on the loose!!!

You: Yes you are. It's the safest thing for both of you.

Dipper: And what about you?!?!? I'm not leaving you here alone!!!!!

You: Pine, I'll be fine, I'm used to it...!

Dipper: No, I can't leave you!!! I-I won't leave you...!!!

You: ... I'm sorry, Dipper, but we lost, it's only a matter of time before you admit it to yourself...

Dipper: ...

I didn't want to leave her... I couldn't leave her... but what choice did I have...? She was right, we had lost...

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: (y/n)-... (y/n), I-

You: *wrap him in a tight hug* Just shut up...

Dipper: ... *hugs you back tightly*

I felt warm, happiness, calm, I didn't want the hug to end. Unfortunately we pulled away when the bus driver said it was time to leave. I turned to leave when (y/n) softly kissed my cheek.

Wait, huh?!?

I turned around to face her again as my whole face turns red, but I saw her flying away in her phoenix form. Mabel called for me, I could see her hiding a smile from what just happened, and I entered the bus. I can't believe this is happening...

Your POV

If this really was the last time I was gonna see Dipper, I had to at least give him a clue of my feelings for him. At the time, I was on a tree trying to hold in my tears.

That's when I began to hear loud stomping from afar. I flew up a bit and saw something white sticking out of the forest, moving. I got curious and began to follow it.

Dipper's POV

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* Soo, 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: *reaches for the bus but gets stopped by a sudden burst of fire in front of it* WHAT?!?

Dipper and Mabel: *gasp*

You: *land in front of them* Jump!!!

Dipper: Are you crazy?!?!?

You: I SAID JUMP!!!

Mabel: *grabs Dipper's arm and jumps*

Dipper and Mabel: AHHHHHHHH-!!!

You: *fly down and grab on tightly to Mabel's sweater with your talons making them land safely on the old train tracks*

You, Dipper, and Mabel: *begin to run but stop at the sight of a blocked tunnel*

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

You, Dipper, and Mabel: Journal number one?!?

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

You: *creat a force field above them burning all the rocks*

Dipper: 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 you and Mabel in one hand and Dipper in the other*

You and Mabel: *struggles*

Dipper: *punching the robot's hand* LET THEM GO!!!!!

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: *takes you in the now empty hand* As for you, girl, *starts squishing you making you let out a grunt of pain* You have destroyed many off my plans before, now it's time I return the favor!!! *slams you harshly against the mountain wall making you grow a lot weaker, then begins to walk away* Once I find the final journal I'll rule this town, *looks at Mabel* with you as my queen!!!!! *cackles evilly*

Mabel: Dipper, help us!!!

"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?!?"

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 and (y/n) 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!!!

You: Not as amazing as you beating that robot!

Mabel: Yeah, that was totally awesome!!! *punches Dipper's arm playfully making him move and accidentally kick a piece of metal*
Dipper: *sees his journal under the piece of medal* Hey, my journal!

We heard police sirens and the people of Gravity Falls began to surround us, confused to what had happened.

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 and their friend!!! They tried to attack me and blew up my statue with dynamite!!! Arrest them!!!

You, 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 a smile on his face.

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!!!

Stan: 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!!! *showing the pin* Who's the fraud now?!? *squishes the pin until it breaks*

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 tightly* WE DID IT!!!

You: Ow ow- Mabel-!!!

Mabel: *pulls away* Sorry!

You and Mabel: *laugh*

Dipper: Guess we aren't leaving after all.

You: Yeah, I guess you aren't. *smiles at Dipper*

Dipper: *smiles back*

We go back home and got the whole shack back the way it used to be. For some reason, every time I looked at
(y/n), I couldn't help but smile.

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

You: What up, 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 I 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!!!

You: Pine, 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: *blushes a bit* Woah, thanks, (y/n)...! ...I still want it back though.

Mabel: I'm sure you'll get it back. What would a boring old man like Stan want with that book anyways?

Dipper: *laughs* True.

You, Dipper, and Mabel: *suddenly get soaked with water*

Soos: *pops out holding two water guns* Soosed!!!

You, Dipper, and Mabel: *laugh before running after Soos*

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

❤️❤️❤️
