Dipper's POV

Dipper: Wait.

Dipper and Mabel: GRUNKLE STAN!!! *run to Stan*

Stan: KIDS!!! I can't believe it!!!!! *hugs the twins tightly* I thought I lost you two!!!

Soos: *hugs Stan* Mr. Pines, it's really you!!!!!!! I've been hugging strangers practicing for this moment!!!

Wendy: *hugs Stan* We missed you, you old codger!!!

Soos: *lifts you all up in his hug then places you all back on the ground as you all pull away*

Stan: I missed you knuckleheads too. It's good to have you back.

Dipper: *sees all the creatures and people in the shack* So what's everyone doing here? *gets startled by the Lilliputtians passing by*

Mabel: Yeah, there's like monsters and gnomes, and is Pacifica wearing a potato sack?

Pacifica: Hey, even in a sack I still look better than you!

Dipper: *looks around and his eyes widen* Wait... where's (y/n)?!?

Stan: ... She's in the attic... The poor kid hasn't been out in days...

Grenda: After you two and Ford went missing she just completely isolated herself.

Candy: Like a flame that was put out...

Mabel and I exchanged a worried look before rushing upstairs. I gently opened the door and saw (y/n) on her bed. I couldn't see her face, but her usual aura had completely changed. It was dull and lacked hope.

Nothing like the (y/n) I remembered...

I took a step forward, accidentally making the floor creak. "Whoever it is... please... go away..." I heard her mutter. For a second, I caught a glimpse of her eyes, the fire in them was gone. Her spirit wasn't the same.

I quickly cleared my throat. "Even if it's someone who's been dreaming of seeing you for days...?"

At those words, she tensed up, and soon sat up to face me, her red eyes widening. "P... P-Pine...?!?" I gave her a warm smile. She immediately stood up and ran to me, tackling me in a hug. I managed to keep my balance and hug her back tightly as she began to cry.

You: Y-you-... you're a-alive...!!! I-I-I thought- I thought-!!!

Dipper: I promised I'd be back, didn't I...?

You: ... *nod with a smile* I missed you...

Dipper: I missed you too...

Mabel: *by the door* Aww!!! Hmph, I wish I still had my camera.

You: *pull away with a chuckle* I think you already have enough pictures.

You and Mabel: *hug each other tightly*

Dipper: *smiles warmly* (There's the (y/n) I know and love...)

You: Wait... *pull away* Where's Ford...?

Dipper and Mabel: ...

Dipper: He was... captured by Bill...

You: !!!! What...?!?

Dipper: But don't worry, we're gonna get him back!

Mabel: How?!?

Dipper: I-... Don't know...

That's when we heard someone yell "EYE BAT!!!" from downstairs and we ran down.

Gnome: Evasive maneuvers!!!

Stan: *closes the door and pushes Dipper and Mabel down* Shh, keep it down!!!

Gnome: Hit the lights!!!

Other Gnome: *turns off the lights*

Eye Bat: *outside, turns a raccoon to stone and flies away*

Stan: *turn the lights back on revealing everyone* Welcome to what's left of normal around here, home base.

Dipper and Mabel: *look at everyone in the shack*

Dipper: *gasps at the sight of Rumble* Rumble McSkirmish?!?

Rumble: Do not be afraid, Weirdmaggedon has taught me there are some battles I cannot win. I am now Humble McSkirmish...

Mabel: Grunkle Stan, how'd this all happen...?

Stan: So I was hammering signs put back when the sky started vomiting nightmares. I listen to a lot of a.m. radio, so I knew what this meant: the end of the world. What I didn't expect was what happened next. Turns out whatever you and my brother did to the shack with your unicorn voodoo made the crazy place invincible to weirdness.

Dipper: Of course, the unicorn spell! That's why this is the only place Bill's magic can't touch!

Stan: That's when possum breath over here shows up leading a bunch of injured stragglers through the forest. They needed a place to stay, and since the mayor got captured I elected myself to Facto-Chief! The plans to stay in here and eat brown meat until we run out, *trying to whisper* then I vote we eat the gnomes.

Jeff: Hey, I'm short, not deaf!

Stan: Shh shh, stress will make you chewy.

Dipper: Grunkle Stan, we can't just hide inside the shack. There's a town in need of saving! We tried to do it but Ford got captured by Bill...

Stan: Serves that jerk right, my brother's had some stupid plans but going up against an all powerful space demon was his worst one yet. Trust me, we have everything we need right here! *sits on a chair* It's not a Ritz but at least the monsters inside know how to massage.

MultiBear: *massages Stan's shoulders*

Stan: You know shiatsu?

MultiBear: Yes, I've taken some classes.

Dipper: So you're really just gonna let Bill win?!?

Stan: Look, kid, we got a good deal here! Besides, I'm sure wherever the rest of the townsfolk are they're fine. *accidentally hits the remote turning on the tv*

Shandra: *tv, whispering* This is Shandra Jimenez reporting live from inside of Bill's castle. Here for the first time are images of what's happened to the captured townsfolk.

Tv: *shows a throne of people turned to stone*

Shandra: Viewers are advised to look away if they don't want to see their friends turned into a twisted throne of human agony.

Pacifica: Mom and dad?!?

Wendy: My family!!!

Blubs: Deputy Durland!!!

Shandra: Is there no one who will save the people of this town? I'm Shandra Jimenez and I'm being turned into stone by a flying eyeball. *gets turned to stone as the tv shows static*

Everyone: *gasp*

Pacifica: Oh no... My parents are bad but even they don't deserve to be turned to stone...

Blubs: Curse you, Bill!!!!!! Why must you take everything you love!!!!!!

Everyone: ...

Mabel: *climbs to the top of the MultiBear* Guys, don't you see? Our friends need us but we can only save them if we fight back!

You: *climb next to Mabel* Mabel is right. Bill wants us to run and hide! He wants us to think he's invincible!

Dipper: *climbs next to Mabel* But Ford told me before he was captured that he knows Bill's secret weakness!

Everyone: *gasp and start to mutter*

Dipper: Now, if we band together, if we combine all strength, our smarts, our- whatever Toby has,

Toby: Various rashes!!!

Dipper: Then we just might be able to rescue Ford, learn Bill's weakness, and save Gravity Falls!!!!!!

Everyone: *cheers*

Stan: Whoa whoa whoa!!! Have you all forgotten who's in change here?!? Besides, we're only safe inside!!! It's not like we can take the Mystery Shack to Bill!!!

McGucket: Wo- woo!!! Holy hootenanny!!! Flapjack and fiddlebanjos!!! Sorry, sorry, got a little excited. *slaps his knee which shakes strangely* What I meant to say is: I think I figured out a way to fight Bill and rescue Ford, but we're all gonna have to work together!!! *snaps his fingers* Now.

McGucket explains his plan to us. It was insanely crazy!!! So crazy that it was destined to work!

McGucket: *puts some blueprints in the table* Alright, I've made some thing-a-meticulous robo-magigs in my day, but this is the first one that won't be used for evil!

Dipper: Whoa, this blueprints are incredible, McGucket!!!

Mabel: This is your most amazing invention yet!!!

Soos: Question: does it have any gun swords?

Soos: That would really give it an anime feel!

McGucket: What's an... anime...?

Soos: We have much to discuss.

Stan: Discuss nothing!!! This scribbles are a lot of cockamamie balderdash!!! Excuse my french!!!

French Lilliputtian: *speaks in french*

Stan: And where would you even find a bunch of idiots crazy enough to build it!!!

Mabel: Grunkle Stan, you're looking at those idiots!!!

Everyone: *cheers*

And so we start doing this machine. We use anything we could find, and it was actually really fun! Soos even taught McGucket some anime.

At the end of the day we were all sitting around a campfire wearing sweaters Mabel knit for us. (y/n) was next to me, and I had my arm around her as she snuggled against me. I really did miss her a lot...

Soos: Thanks for these apocalypse sweater, Mabel! The end of the world has never been so confortable!

Everyone: *nods*

Pacifica: *trembles with cold* Ugh, fine, I'll wear it. *takes Mabel's llama sweater and puts it on* But I'm not gonna like it.

Mabel: Admit it, this is the best day of the end of the world! I think we actually have a chance to beat Bill and win back our future!!!

Dipper: Yeah, getting to actually live to see our 13th birthday party is the only birthday present I want right now...

Soos: Hey, if we're lucky enough to get there I guarantee this whole town is gonna throw you the best birthday party you've ever seen!

Dipper: Thanks, Soos.

You: Hey, has anyone seen Stan?

You, Dipper, and Mabel: *walk over to Grunkle Stan who's a little farther away from the campfire*

Mabel: Is something wrong, Grunkle Stan? You're acting... grunklier than usual.

Stan: It's this darn plan to save my brother, if you didn't notice I already saved him once from that portal and he never thanked me!!! He causes the end of the world and somehow it's still always: Stan's the screwup, Ford's the hero!!!

Dipper: Well maybe people think he's a hero because he didn't want to hide in the Mystery Shack!!!

Stan: Well maybe if he hid in the Mystery Shack he wouldn't have been captured!!!

You: Guys, guys, chill!

Mabel: Trust us, tomorrow's gonna be great!!! I believe in us!!!

Chutzpar: Help, leader Mabel!!! I keep accidentally flexing through my sweater!!! *flexes causing the sweater to break* Ah, it happened again!!!

Mabel: Those weird cow monsters are delightful!!! Coming!!! *runs over to Chutzpar*

The next morning we all gathered up in the attic.

McGucket: Alright, fellers, let's hope this turns out better than my other adventures!!!

Mabel: Everybody ready?!? Dipper, now!!!

Dipper: *pulls a lever*

We all shake as the Mystery Shack is lifted off the ground. Controlling it, we made our way to Bill's pyramid castle attacking it from all sides. His demon friends began attacking us, but we were able to fight them off. In fact, we actually beat them!

But our celebration was cut short when Bill began to fly towards us, his hand pulled into a tight fist about to punch the Mystery Shack into complete destruction.

However, it didn't matter how hard he punched, how hard he tried, the unicorn barrier would not break. We took the chance and our T-Rex (yes, we had a T-Rex) ripped his eyeball out.

"Rescue team, move out!!!!" I heard Mabel yell. Some of us, including myself, went into some tubes and were launched into the pyramid landing safely inside because of the parachutes Mabel knit us. Once inside...

Everyone: *gasp at the sight of the throne of people*

Dipper: Oh man, it's even worse up close...

Mabel: *uses her grappling hook to climb up to the throne* I found great uncle Ford!!! *throws her grappling hook down* He's golden!!! But not in the good way!!!

Stan: Great!!! Grab'm and let's get out of here!!!

You: But how are we going to unfreeze them?

Voice: I know!!!

Everyone: *sees Gideon in a cage dancing*

Mabel: Gideon!!! What happened to you?!?

Gideon: Bill captured me!!! He's been forcing me to do cute dances in his cage for all eternity!!! I'm so tired of being cute!!!

You: *turn phoenix and fly up, landing next to Mabel and turning human*

Dipper: *climbs up next to Mabel with the grappling hook* How do we undo this?!?

Gideon: Mayor Tyler, he's the load-bearing human!!! Pull him out and the whole thing goes down!!!

You: *pull Tyler out causing everyone to fall and turn back to normal and setting Gideon free*

Lazy Susan: Oh my mouth taste like nightmares.

Robbie: Ah!!! I think I've darkened torture for reals now!!!

Tad: This experience will forever scar Tad Strange.

Gideon: No. More. SAILOR SUIT!!! *rips his sailor costume revealing his usual attire, then breathes heavily*

Manly Dan and Wendy's Brothers: *hug Wendy tightly* Wendy!!!

Wendy: Guys!!!

Pacifica: Mom, Dad!!!

Blubs: Durland!!! *pushes Preston and Priscilla out of the way and kneels beside Durland*

Durland: My Blubs!!!

Blubs: Don't you ever scare me like that again!!!

Blubs and Durland: *hug*

Everyone: *cheers*

Ford: *turns back to normal* Kids!!! Ah, you did it!!! *hugs you, Dipper, and Mabel* I knew I could count on you three!!! *laughs, then sets you all down as he notices McGucket* Fiddleford, I- I haven't seen you since we parted ways. You must hate me...

McGucket: ... I've tried forgettin', maybe I should try forgivin'. Come here, old friend.

Ford and McGucket: *hug*

Stan: Hey, good to see you too, bro. Now let's get out of here, huh?

Dipper: Listen, Grunkle Ford, we don't have a lot of time. Remember how you told me right before you were frozen that you knew Bill's weakness? A secret way to defeat him?

Ford: I- I do! *as he puts on gloves* Now, does anyone have a pen? Pencil? Anything? *notices a can of spray paint on the ground* Ah! *picks up the can* Perfect! *starts to draw something on the ground*

Dipper: Uh, we got Bill outside but I don't know how long we can keep him occupied!

Ford: *continues drawing something* Yes yes, good good.

Stan: Drawn a circle on the floor. Well, he's lost his mind.

Ford: *still drawing something* My mind is fine, and there is a way! With this! *reveals a circle with symbols all around it and Bill in the center*

Pacifica: The world's most confusing game of hopscotch?

You: No, it's... the prophecy...!!!

Ford: Right as always, (y/n). Although it would be a pretty fun game of hopscotch. Many years ago I found eleven symbols in a cave. Some I recognized them, and some I recognize now. The native people of Gravity Falls prophesied that these symbols could create a force strong enough to vanquish Bill. With Bill defeated, his weirdness would reverse and the town could be saved! This whole time I thought it was just superstition, but seeing you all here now I finally understand that it's destiny! Dipper, the pine tree.

Dipper: *steps on the pine tree symbol*

Ford: Mabel, the shooting star.

Mabel: *steps on the shooting star symbol*

Soos: A question mark!!! This one's unsolvable!

Wendy: *sees the sewed up heart symbol and pushes Robbie unto it* That one's easy! You've been rocking that dumb hoodie since the seventh grade!

Robbie: Whoa, destiny hoodie...!!! 

Soos: *steps on the question mark symbol*

Dipper: The tent of telepathy sign, that must be Gideon!

Gideon: *steps on the tent of telepathy star sign* Woo, and excuse to stand next to Mabel!

Mabel: Don't turn this into a big deal.

Gideon: Oh I won't! *whispers* I will!

Ford: *steps on the six fingered hand sign* Hold hands, everyone. This is a mystical human energy circuit.

Dipper: Ice?!? Who's ice?!?

Ford: The symbols don't always have to be literal, Dipper. It just has to be someone cool in the face of danger.

Nate, Lee, Thompson, and Tambry: Wendy!!! Wendy!!!

Wendy: *laughs* Shut up, you guys. *stands on the ice symbol*

Ford: Much like the spectacles need to be someone scholarly. 

McGucket: *stands on the spectacle sign and laughs*

Pacifica: *as she steps on the llama sign and seeing her sweater* This is weird.

Ford: There's one that I never really understood over the years. The heart of stone, covered in flames? Warm heart? Warm and cold?

Dipper: It's... a firestone! *looks at you*

You: *eyes widen* Oh- no- that's- I'm not-

Dipper: (y/n), it has to be you...!

You: But it wouldn't even make sense! I'm-!

Dipper: The hero who'll help us defeat Bill once and for all. *offers his hand to you*

You: ... *take his hand and step of the firestone symbol*

Ford: Now hold hands, everyone.

Pacifica: *sees she has to hold McGucket's hand* Ew, I'm not touching that!

Preston: Do it, sweety. Do the one thing no one in our family has ever done: *whispers* touch the hillbilly.

Pacifica: *hesitantly holds McGucket's hand making you all start to glow*

You: It's-... I-it's working!!!

Ford: Yes, this is it! The rest of you get out! It's too dangerous!

Everyone Else: *runs away*

Ford: We just need one more person. *sees the fez hat symbol* Stanley!!! Stanley, get over here!!! You're the only one left!!!

Stan: You realize this is a bunch of hogwash, right? You really think some caveman graffiti is gonna stop that monster?

Gideon: Dang it, old man, now is not the time!!!

Wendy: C'mon!!!

Pacifica: What are you doing?!? You're gonna ruin this!!!

Robbie: I've never held hands this long and I am very uncomfortable!!!

Stan: Whoa hey, I'm not the enemy here, people! Don't forget who literally created the end of the world!

Ford: I'm sorry, Stanley, I know, just help me it! Please!

Stan: Fine, just do one thing: say thank you.

Ford: What?

Stan: I spend thirty years trying to bring you back into this dimension and you still haven't thanked me!!! You want me to shake your hand?!? Say thank you!!!

Ford: Fine. Thank you.

Stan: *takes Ford and Soos's hand* Ah, see? Between me and him I'm not always the bad twin.

Ford: Between him and me. Grammar, Stanley.

Stan: I'll grammar Stanley you!!!!!

They start to fight, letting go of the circle. Mabel and I ran to stop them, but soon after we heard the familiar cackle.

Bill: *laughs* This is just too perfect!!! Didn't you brainiacs know the zodiac doesn't work if you don't all hold hands?!? And what's better, you brought every threat to my power together in one easy to destroy!!! *turns the zodiac circle into flames*

Mabel: *gasp*

Dipper: Oh no!!!

Pacifica: *shriek* My hair!!! *pats down the flames in her hair*

Robbie: Ah, my hair also!!! *pats down the flames in his hair*

Bill: *ties Stan and Ford with magic hand ropes* You want to see what happens to your friends when you don't get along?!?

McGucket: Hey, you give them back!!!

Gideon: You've gone too far, Cipher!!!

Wendy: Yeah, we're not scared of you!!!

Everyone except Bill: *take out a weapon each*

Bill: Oh but you should be!!!  *snaps his fingers making everyone except you and the two sets of twins float up next to Bill as minds slaves* You know, this castle could really use some decorations!!! *snaps his fingers making them all turn into tapestries of them screaming*

Dipper and Mabel: *gasp*

You: Bill, this has to stop, NOW!!!

Bill: I'm the one who should be giving you orders around her. In fact~ *snaps his fingers*

You: *grip your head tightly in pain, trying to resist whatever spell Bill is trying to cast on you*

Dipper: (Y/N)!!!!! *tries to run over to you*

You: Stay... away... STAY... AWAY... *open your now yellow eyes with now long black pupils* ...

Dipper: !!!!! N-no...!

Bill: *cackles evilly while floating next to you* Like father like daughter!

Ford: NO!!!

Bill: Now, make your father proud and take care of Pinetree and Shooting Star for me.

Dipper and Mabel: !!!!

You: Yes... father...

Mabel: Dipper, run!!!!

Dipper: What?!?!?

Mabel: RUN!!!!! *grabs his wrist and starts running away*

We started running through a tunnel. I was pretty weak, but the adrenaline made me run faster than ever. We had made it to the edge, Mabel broke the wall and were about to get the others before realizing they had been trapped by Bill's "friends".

We turned around to see (y/n) walking towards us. Her eyes were cold and lifeless, her expression emotionless. From her palm came out glowing blue chains which trapped me and Mabel. We tried to struggled, but it was of no use. I tried yelling out to her, trying to break her free of whatever trance she was in. But it wouldn't work.

But I wouldn't give up. I knew she was in there.

Somewhere...

Bill: Alright, Ford, time's up!!!!

Dipper and Mabel: *try to struggle out of the chains*

Bill: I've got the kids~!!! I think I'm gonna kill one of them now just for the heck of it!!!

Dipper: (y/n)!!!!!

Bill: *pine tree* Eenie!!!

Dipper: (y/n), please, I know you're in there!!!!!!!

Bill: *shooting star* Meenie!!!

Dipper: If you can hear me, please, come back to us!!!!!!!

Bill: *pine tree* Miney!!!

Dipper: Please...

Bill: *shooting star* YOU!!! *is about to snap his fingers, but suddenly gets hit with a hugs fireball* OW!!! MY EYE!!!

Dipper and Mabel: !!!!

You: Nice attempt.

Dipper: (y-y/n)?!?

You: *give Dipper a smile* Thanks for the wake up call, Pine.

Dipper: *smiles back*

Bill: YOU UNGRATEFUL LITTLE BRAT!!!!!! I give you life, I give you power, AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME?!?!?!?

You: !!!

Bill: *creates a giant blue fireball* Maybe you just need a little DISCIPLINE!!! *throws the fireball at you*

You: *barely avoid*

Bill: *throws more*

You: *avoid most of them, but the last one doesn't give you enough time, and you grab it by instinct* !!!!! *murmur* Wait a second... *squeeze the fireball which gives you more power* ... overheat...

Ford: !!!!

You: Overheat...!!!

Ford: (y/n), no!!! That's too dangerous!!!

You: It's the only way!!!

Bill continued to throw bright blue fireballs at (y/n), who grabbed all of them and some how made them into her own source of power. The more time that past, the more she changed...

Her hair started turning into blue flames, and her eyes seemed to be glowing like two fireballs. Her voice became demonic, and a blue aura emanated from her.

Bill started getting smaller and weaker each time. Finally, he had lost most of his energy.

Bill: (y/n), please, this isn't really how you want to treat your father, is it?!?

You: I've told you before, didn't I?!? You might've created me, but you're NOT my father. *starts walking to Bill* Fathers are kind. *throw a fireball which hits Bill* Fathers protect you. *throw a fireball which hits Bill* Fathers raise you. *throw a fireball which hits Bill* I was protected by Ford. I was raised by my friends. They are my family. This is my home. AND YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE!!!!!!

Anyone recognize these lines? No? Ok. They aren't originally mine, they're from the Teen Titans series, when Raven defeats Trygon at the end of season 3 or 4, and I thought it suited the situation well

She's engulfed in flames, and became a sight I never expected to see: a phoenix version, this one completely made out of fire, and it was massive.

She roared, and I could hear Bill curse before she breathed fire, and the last thing heard were Bill's screams.

The rest was a blur, and I lost track of things...

~skip brought to you by BBRae!!! 💜💚💜💚💜💚
F*ck you, Terra!!! :3~

I started to regain consciousness, and my vision started becoming clear. I saw Stan, Ford, Soos, and Mabel around me, and I started to stand up as they woke up. All of Gravity Falls had turned to normal, and we were in the forest.

Ford: Is everyone ok?

Mabel: I'm good!!!

Stan: Define "ok".

Soos: I'm good, dude.

Dipper: Wait, where's (y/n)...?!?

Mabel, Soos, Stan, and Ford: *look around for you*

Dipper: *sees a cloud of smoke from a far* Oh no... *starts running towards it*

Mabel: DIPPER!!! *runs after him, followed by Stan, Ford, and Soos*

Dipper: *stops at the sight of you unconscious on the ground* (Y/N)!!!! *runs over and kneels next to you* Wake up!!! *shakes you lightly* Please wake up!!!!!

You: ...

Dipper: No no no...!!!!!! (y/n)- (y/n), please!!!!!! You have to be ok!!!!!!

You: ...

Mabel: *hugs Stan as she starts to cry, who hugs her back*

Soos: *takes off his cap as teas fall down his face*

Ford: *looks down with his eyes closed, holding back tears*

Dipper: *tears falling down his face as he keeps in sobs* N-no... no... *holding your hand tightly* p-please... please, wake up... I-... I can't loose you... I love you...

You: ... *snickers* ...

Dipper: !!!! *wipes some tears away* H-huh...?!?

You: *chuckle lightly*

Dipper: No way.

You: *laugh a little louder*

Dipper: Oh my g- *stands up* YOU'RE THE WORST!!!

You: *sit up laughing* Sorry, I'm sorry!!! *stand up* But I wanted to be dramatic, you should've seen your-!!! MM-!!!

Dipper: *crashes his lips against years, tears falling down his face*

You: ... *kiss him back while wrapping an arm around his neck*

Dipper: *pulls away* Don't ever do that again...

You: ... *smile and wipe his tears away* Alright, I won't...

Mabel: (Y/N)!!!! *tackles you in a hug* I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE OK!!!!!

You: *laugh awkwardly before hugging her back*

Ford: You did it, (y/n). You defeated Bill.

You: *as Mabel pulls away* It wasn't easy, but I couldn't have done it without all of you.

We walked to the Mystery Shack. I was more than happy to know (y/n) was ok, though a bit mad for the little prank she did. Once there, we saw it was completely destroyed, Waddles was there waiting for us. Mabel hugged her pig, and we all went inside.

Stan: Great, more stuff to repair.

Mabel: Then I guess we better get started.

It took us a few days, but we were able to get the shack back in shape, and just in time for our birthday too. The days went by fast, and it was already the day of the party. Before we know it, it was time to blow out the candles.

Everyone in Town: *cheer as you all finish the birthday song*

Mabel: I can't believe you all got together just to throw a party for us!!!

Tyler: After all the Pines family has done for the town it's the least we could do!!! You've helped everyone here!!!

Gideon: Thanks to y'all saving us I learned to open my heart to kindness!!! No more evildoing!!! From now on I'm gonna try to be lil' Gideon regular ol' kid!!!

Soos: Dude, make a wish, dawg!!!

Dipper: You know, on my first day here if you had asked me what I wanted I would've said: adventure, mystery, true friends, but looking here at all of you I realized that every wish came true. I have everything I've ever wanted.

Mabel: If I had only one wish it would be to shrink all of you with the shrink ray and bring you home with us in my pocket, but since that's impossible- *looks at Ford* it's that impossible?

Ford: *moves his hand as a "more or less" sign*

Mabel: Since that's probably impossible, my only wish is for everyone to sign my scrapbook. I'll never forget you guys. Wait. *steps on the memory ray destroying it* Now I'll never forget you guys!

Dipper and Mabel: *blow out their candles*

Wendy: *puts an arm around the twins* I now officially declare you technically teenagers!!! Welcome to angst and acne forever!!! *pulls away*

You, Wendy, Nate, Lee, Thompson, Tambry, and Robbie: One of us!!! One of us!!!

Blubs and Durland: *shoot a cannonball*

Soos: So how do you feel?!?

Mabel: Same-y, but different-y!

Pacifica: Hey, you two! When are you gonna open your present already?*shows her bandaged hands* I broke a nail wrapping them!

All: *laugh*

We began to open presents. As they did, I noticed Stan and Ford go beside the Mystery Shack, but I just shrugged it off. We noticed them coming back when Stan lightly hit a pen against a Pit Cola bottle catching everyone's attention.

Stan: Everyone, I have an announcement to make. *puts his arm around Ford* Me and my, heh, nerdy bro over here have some catching up to do. We're gonna be away for a while, that's why I'm shutting down the Mystery Shack for good!

Everyone: *gasp and murmurs*

Soos: You shut down your mouth for good!!!

Stan and Ford: ...

Soos: I'm sorry, Mr. Pines, but the shack is the most magical place on Earth!!! Sure, the attractions are all fake, but dreams aren't fake!!! *picks up an attraction* Like this mermaid!!! It's not just a dead fish butt sewn to a monkey carcass, it's a marvelous creature that makes us believe that anything is possible!!! You shut down this shack and you shut down our dreams!!! *takes off his hat* At least... my dreams...

Everyone: Aww...

Stan: *sigh* I'm sorry, Soos, it's just there's no one around to run it... At least, there wouldn't be if I hadn't just found the perfect replacement. *puts his fez hat on Soos's head* Ladies and gentlemen, the Mystery Shack is under new management!!!

Everyone: *cheers*

Soos: You mean it, Mr. Mystery?!?

Stan: You're Mr. Mystery now, Soos. Just, make sure he doesn't burn it down.

Hours passed, the sun had started to set and it was time to say goodbye to the everyone. We were already at the bus stop.

Candy: Do you really have to go...? There's just so much we haven't done together...

Mabel: Summer's over, Candy, it's time for us to grow up.

Dipper: *nudges Mabel* But not too much.

Grenda: Ah!!! I hate my dumb heart for making me feel things!!! *punches her chest*

Soos: Hey, can you punch my heart too?

Candy: No, mine, punch my feelings away!

Mabel: *hugs Candy and Grenda who hug her back, then pulls away* Candy and Grenda, thank you for being my people. You'll always be my best friends. Grunkle Stan? Thanks for wearing my goodbye sweater.

Stan: Uh, it's cold out, I had to.

Soos: What? But it's like eighty something degrees out.

Stan and Ford: Can it, Soos!

You, Dipper, Mabel, Candy, and Grenda: *laugh*

Wendy: *walks over to Dipper* Hey, you mean a lot to me, man. *offers a fist bump*

Dipper: *fist bumps Wendy* You too.

Wendy: Oh and this. *gives Dipper a card* Read it the next time you miss Gravity Falls.

Mabel: *runs over and tackles you into hug* Thank you for being the best best friend and roommate ever.

Mabel: And I'll keep an eye on Dipper for you.

You and Mabel: *laugh*

Dipper: *walks over as Mabel goes to Stan and Ford* Hey.

You: Hey.

Dipper: So... this is it, huh...?

You: I guess it is...

Dipper: ... I'll call you guys when we get home...?

You: Heh, sure.

...

You: Oh- Uh- Here. *takes out a small box with silver wrapping paper and a dark blue ribbon*

Dipper: *takes it* What is it?

You: Open it and see.

Dipper: ??? *opens it to see a dark blue journal with a silver pine tree* !!!

You: I heard of what happened to the journals, so I thought I'd get you a new one...? I know it's not much but-

Dipper: *smiles* Heh, thanks you, it's awesome...!

Dipper: You too...

Dipper and Mabel: *walk over to the bus*

Bus Driver: Last bus leaving Gravity Falls, all aboard.

Mabel: Guess we've said goodbye to everyone except...

Waddles: *walks beside you and sits*

Mabel: Waddles... I-... I don't know how to explain this but... *pets Waddles* mom and dad won't let me bring a pig home to California so... you have to stay here...! *starts to walk away but is stopped by Waddles pulling her skirt, then she tries to push him away as teats fall down her face* C'mon, c'mon, I have to go!!! I'm- I'm sorry, Waddles!!!

Stan: *growls* Ah, you know what, forget it!!! *picks up Waddles* I lived with this pig all summer, now your parents are gonna have to!!! *puts Waddles on the bus entrance* Hey, bus guy, this pig is coming with the kids!!!

Stan: *shows his golden brass knuckles*

Ford: *shows his gun*

Bus Driver: Wha... w-w-welcome aboard! You can sot in the front row, pig!

Waddles: *walks in*

Stan: *places a hand on each twin as tears start forming in his eyes* Kids, you knuckleheads were nothing but a nuisance and I'm glad to be rid of ya.

Mabel: *sniffles*

Dipper and Mabel: *hug Stan as he hugs them*

Mabel: We'll miss you too, Grunkle Stan.

Dipper and Mabel: *pull away and grab their bags now facing the bus*

Dipper: Ready to head into the unknown?

Mabel: Nope. Let's do it.

Dipper and Mabel: *enter the bus and sit down by the window as they wave*

I began to stare off to the trees as they passed by, noticing all the creatures I had become friends if over the past few months. I opened the card Wendy gave me, it was a paper filled with everyone's signatures.

I couldn't wait for next summer...

Thanks for reading!!! And don't worry, it ain't over yet!!! 'Till next time!!!
