20 Tourist Trapped part 2

Dipper decided to start looking for the 'zombie', so he went a little deeper into the forest where he last saw him.

It seems that running into a giant snake once wasn't enough.

"Where is he?...." Dipper didn't want to go too deep into the forest, so he just circled the area around where he last saw him.

"...! A footprint!" He saw some shoe-shaped footprints, which dragged their way toward the city.

Dipper followed the footprints until he came out of the woods, and the trail ended.

Looking around for more clues, he saw nothing.

"*Sigh* Thinks Dipper, where would a zombie that eats human brains be..." Dipper was looking around until he heard a chuckle from his sister.

"Hm?" He looked over and saw Mabel and Arthur talking and laughing as they stuffed food into each other's mouths.

"Wh-!!!" Dipper saw the zombie looking toward Mabel and Arthur.

"Hey!" Dipper started recording and ran after him.

The 'zombie' looked in Dipper's direction and walked slightly hurriedly towards the back of the restaurant.

Dipper ran behind the restaurant but.

"He disappeared?" Dipper looked around at all the rubbish.

"Hm? Garden gnomes?" Dipper saw some green and red ceramic hats in the trash.

After a while of searching but not finding anything, he decided to leave and look elsewhere.

"Phew! He's gone. Let's help me out of here." Jeff got out of the dumpster with two gnomes, and the other two hid behind the trash.

"That was close, but did I need to paint my hat green?" A gnome complained.

"Steve, don't complain. If the boss ordered it, it was for a reason." Courson warned his companion.

"Silence! Now we must put part 2 of the plan into action, and the boss said this trick won't work another time." Jeff took the coat.

Carson, the right arm, Steve, the left, and the other two took the shoes.

.

.

'All as planned.' Arthur smiled at the Lazy Susan restaurant.

"Want more pancakes, Arthur? On the house." Lazy Susan brought us a plate of pancakes.

"Lady Susan, you don't have to do this. I'll pay." Arthur received many treats from Lazy Susan even though he tried to pay every time.

"Don't worry, you've already done a lot for this little town. Am I right guys?!" Lazy Susan called out to the restaurant.

"YEAH!!!" Several people lifted what they were drinking, or just, into the air.

"You've helped a lot of people in this town, including me. So take it." She winked with her left eye and placed her plate on the table.

"Uow, everyone likes you. How did you do that?" Mabel started to eat the pancake Arthur had placed on her plate.

"Well, it's nothing too complicated, it's just me. Maybe... that's why I fell in love with you?" I gave Mabel a slight smile.

"Now say 'Ah'." Arthur brought a spoonful of pie to Mabel's mouth.

Mabel turned slightly red, almost imperceptibly, too bad it was Arthur and he saw it.

Munch*

'How cute.' ^^ I felt like I had eaten too many sweets.

"Oh, Mabel, it got dirty in here..." I wiped the corner of Mabel's mouth with my finger and licked the frosting, teasing her a little.

"Hmm, I think it tastes sweeter." I watched Mabel's reaction, and this time she turned a lot redder.

The restaurant guys and staff were all looking at the situation, maybe that was what made her blush, or it was Arthur's provocation, or both, who knows.

Some smiled, others dried the tears of emotion, and others hugged each other, watching the situation unfold, Arthur grew up.

.

.

.

"Always come back!!" The restaurant guys and staff said goodbye to us with smiles on their faces.

"So, Mabel, did you like the date?" I asked as we walked out of Greasy's Diner.

"Did I like it?! I LOVED IT!" Mabel was so excited, it didn't even look like she was blushing a while ago.

I laughed a little, and we played a little more with each other while we were followed by the gnomes and a Dipper chasing them.

But of course, Mabel didn't notice this and hardly would have noticed at the time since it was their first date.

We stopped by Greasy's Diner once more.

"Mabel, I have to go, but we can hang out more often since you liked it so much." I scratched my head.

Mabel was going to thank Arthur for the amazing date they had today, but Arthur had one more thing to add.

"Ah! I almost forgot to deliver your present, close your eyes." Arthur went to get something from his pocket.

Mabel closed her eyes.

Lazy Susan left the restaurant with a cupcake, which was prepared by Arthur in advance, and asked that when she returned to the restaurant, she would give it to him as a surprise.

"*Whisper* Thank you, Lady Susan." I took the plate silently.

"*Whisper* My pleasure." She smiled and walked into the restaurant.

"Could you show your hands to receive the gift, Mabel?" She held out her hands almost immediately.

I lit the sparkler candle that I modified a little to be less luminous and a little longer lasting.

I hold Mabel's hand and put the cupcake, which is a little bigger than usual, and pull Mabel lightly next to me.

*kiss*

I kissed Mabel's cheek and pulled away, she reacted with a start turning red.

But she also saw a scene that she liked to see, Arthur was flushed.

At that moment, neither of them provoked each other, there was a silence, momentary but lasting.

"I wanted to celebrate our first day as a couple... Did you like the surprise?" Now which of the surprises he was referring to is up to Mabel's interpretation.

Mabel didn't answer.

"I imagine you're at a loss for words, well, that wasn't in the original plan, but-" I was interrupted by a hug from Mabel.

"I loved it. I love you!" Mabel had a huge smile on her face.

I smiled and returned the hug.

And we held each other there silently for a while.

Until the sparkler candle goes out.

There were several viewers at the window of the restaurant trying to see while keeping hidden, and they dropped some plates or glasses due to distraction.

We broke away from the hug, and the silence was broken by Mabel.

"Didn't you need to go somewhere?"

"Yes, but... It would be ungentlemanly of me to leave a lady alone. I will take her home now, my lady." Arthur returned with a playful tone, extending his hand to Mabel.

Mabel laughed and got into the role too.

"How noble of you, thank you." Mabel takes Arthur's hand and they walk towards the Mystery Shack.

*Crash* *Bam*

The restaurant guys and staff saw the beautiful scene and ended up relaxing, forgetting that they were crammed into each other and falling over and breaking some tables and utensils as a result.

.

.

.

I left her outside the Mystery Shack.

"See you tomorrow, Mabel." Mabel was facing the open door.

"See you tomorrow Arthur, today was the best date ever!" Arthur smiled at her enthusiasm.

"But there are still many-"

*Slam*

Mabel closed the door quickly.

'I made it! I made it! I can't believe what a shame!' Mabel ran into the bedroom and jumped on the bed.

....Arthur turned red, Mabel just kissed him on the cheek and quickly closed the door.

I put my hand where she kissed it.

"* Whisper * She is much more daring than in the drawing ... Is it because we are dating or because I keep teasing her? ..." A serene smile blossomed on her face, Mabel would be delighted if she saw this scene.

'Maybe it's my kissing her cheek that gave her more courage...' I walked away from the Mystery Shack to the meeting point with the gnomes.

.

.

.

*Bush noise*

5 Gnomes, still covered in paint, came out of the bushes.

"Where's the boss? Shouldn't he be here at this hour?" Jason looked around, seeing no sign of his boss.

"Looks like you should train more..." Arthur was eating an apple on a relatively high branch.

"Boss, your plan was carried out perfectly, I can tell you that." Jeff said quite confidently.

"So you did the 3rd part of the plan too, right?" I looked at Jeff, who, listening to him, froze and tensed.

"T-t-t-hird part of the plan? Just to make sure... But what was the third part of the plan again?" Jeff was sweating.

"*Sigh* Alright, I was hoping you wouldn't remember anyway, so I left Shmebulock with that part." I came down from the tree.

"Here's the formula to remove this liquid-resistant paint, you can put it in water, on a towel, or even on the squirrels, the duration is temporary, and once you use it, it will lose its effects within 30 minutes." I handed a vial to each of the gnomes, this paint wouldn't come off with normal water or anything.

They were happy that I wasn't angry, well actually, I don't get angry with them, but maybe the way we met 'traumatized' them.

One of the gnomes was the spectator that day of the lion, and that was a strong dissuasive, they were startled when I arrived and didn't express any displeasure.

I thought there would be a fight or an argument or something like that but the impression he left on just one gnome seemed to be enough.

"Well then, I don't have to worry about you carrying out the 4th part of the plan, do I?" I looked to the 5 gnomes, who looked at each other with Jeff, who was kind of the head of the operation.

"So boss..." Arthur didn't even have to finish listening, he sighed and took out a piece of paper so he could understand better.

"At five o'clock, you should be there, and then you kidnap her and let her go when Dipper arrives. Did I make myself clear?!" If something went wrong with that plan due to not having understood the plan once again, the consequences would be serious.

"Yes, sure!" Jeff agreed.

"Certainty?" I asked, still doubtful about him having understood.

"Definitely!"

.

.

.

"Mabel, we need to talk about your dates with Arthur." Dipper arrived with a camera and journal.

"Isn't he the BEST?! Today was amazing. We talked, we had fun, there were gifts, and look at the kiss mark he left me." Mabel pointed to where Arthur had kissed.

"What? Ugh no! Mabel, listen." Even if you couldn't see anything, Dipper didn't question this time because there were more pressing things.

"I'm trying to tell you that you're being followed by a zombie." Dipper opened the diary to the gnomes' page.

"Oh wait, sorry wrong page..." Dipper showed the right page this time.

"A zombie? That's not funny, Dipper!"

"I'm not joking! I-I have proof!" Dipper took out a camera.

"Wait, Dipper, you followed me throughout my date?!" Mabel was starting to get irritated.

"W-well yeah, but look!" Dipper opened the camera to get the footage and prove it to his sister.

Empty album!

"What?!" Dipper searched the camera for other files, and it was empty.

"Dipper, listen to me. Arthur and I are going on a date at five o'clock, and I'm gonna be adorable, and he's gonna be dreamy." Mabel held up an unnamed letter as she pushed Dipper out.

"Wait! But, but I'm just-" Dipper found that note suspicious and was worried, but Mabel didn't give him any space to speak.

"And I'm not gonna let you ruin it with one of your conspiracies!" *Slam* Mabel slammed the door in Dipper's face.

"Ohh... What am I gonna do?" Dipper was worried and couldn't do anything.

.

.

*Clock Owl Hoot* Five o'clock in the afternoon.

"Gunkle Stan, Dipper, I'm leaving. I'll be back later!" Mabel looked over at Dipper, who was sitting down on the couch.

'Was I too hard on him?... I apologize when I get back!' Mabel closed the door and ran to the spot.

"Soos is right, I don't have any real evidence now..." Dipper was fiddling with the camera one last time.

"I guess I can be kind of paranoid sometimes, and...WAIT!What?!" A file appeared on the camera.

A photo of the alleged zombie and a caption...

"Thanks...? And a picture of a shooting star? What does that mean? And how did that picture end up here?" Dipper was putting the pieces together.

"I-I was right! Oh, my god! Oh, my god! Grunkle Stan! Grunkle Stan!" Dipper ran outside to find Stan, but he was too busy and stressed with the tourists.

"For the fifth time, it's not an actual face!" Stan was running out of patience explaining.

Dipper was in a great hurry and looked around for something that would help him in this situation.

"...! Wendy! Wendy!" Dipper didn't find anything that could get Stan's attention, but he found a way to save his sister.

"I need to borrow the golf cart so I can save my sister from a zombie!" Dipper explained the situation very quickly.

"Try not to hit any pedestrians." Wendy thought he was making up an excuse to use the cart for fun, and she wasn't going to stop him from having fun.

Dipper quickly got in and started the golf cart on his way to save his sister.

"Dude, it's me, Soos. This is for the zombies." Soos handed a shovel to Dipper, who thanked him.

"And this is in case you see a pinata." Soos handed over a baseball bat.

Dipper took it and thanked him, a little confused.

"Better safe than sorry!" Soos yelled at Dipper, who drove over to where his sister was.

.

.

.

"Where's Arthur?" Mabel had already arrived at the place and waited for 5 minutes, thinking that Arthur would be a little late.

"I wonder if he's busy? It's a bit annoying to be waiting alone." Mabel says so, but she doesn't look bored, rather like someone who could wait well over an hour.

'Did I surprise him too much with that kiss?... Nah, he's not that kind of person.' Based on the previous encounter, she was able to reach this conclusion.

*Bush noise*x50

"Human stopped! What was your name again? Was it, Maybe?... It doesn't matter. You'll come with us!" Jeff and several gnomes surrounded the place, from the trees to the ground, armed with 'gnome arrows' and mounted on animals.

"Hehehe, it's Mabel, and what happens if I don't want to go with you guys." Mabel laughed at their size but also at the nervousness of the situation.

"Well, then we'll have to kidnap you. Get her!" Jeff ordered, and immediately, the 'arrows' flew towards Mabel, holding a rope.

"Aaaaah!" Mabel screamed as she was quickly tied up and taken to her home.

.

.

.

"HELP!"

"Hold on!" Dipper heard Mabel screaming and followed the direction the sound had come from.

Dipper arrived where Mabel was trapped, and there was only one Gnome in front of her.

"It's no use resisting. You're already under arrest, and you're making my job that much harder." Jeff put his hand on his forehead and then covered his ears.

"What the heck is goin' on here?!

"Dipper! The gnomes kidnapped me, tied me up, the note was fake, and your zombie was a bunch of gnomes!" Mabel was still struggling to get off that rope.

Jeff and his mouth telling what they did to get here.

"Gnomes? Huh, I was way off." Dipper quickly pulled up the gnomes page, weakness unknown.

"Hey! Hey! Let go of my sister!" Dipper grabbed the gnome's shoulder, who wasn't listening.

"Oh! Hey there. Hmm, just making sure, what is your name?" Jeff was a little doubtful.

"Dipper! And you better give it back now or else!" Dipper was pointing a shovel threateningly at the gnome.

'Dipper? Well, it was close, but he's not the Wipper anyway.' Jeff changed the names now instead of forgetting.

"Phew, listen here, boy, do you think you can stop us? You have no idea what we're capable of. The gnomes are a powerful race!" Several gnomes appeared with Jeff's speech.

"Do not trifle with the GNOMES!!!" All the gnomes were ready again, just waiting for the command.

"What?!" Dipper looked surprised at the number of them, but they were still 18 inches tall.

"Muahahahahaha-" Jeff had his evil laugh cut off by Dipper's shovel.

*bang*

Dipper hit Jeff right in the face with the shovel.

"That hurt..." Some gnome said that, and soon, the others reacted.

*Swish*x10

Dipper ran to Mabel and cut the rope.

"Down!" Mabel lowered Dipper's head, she had seen a Gnome that was going to hit her brother's head.

"Go!Go!Go!" The brothers ran to the golf cart to get out of there as quickly as possible.

"Seat belt!" Dipper floored the accelerator.

*Vroom*

"He's running away with the hostage! No, no, no!!" Jeff tried to reach them, but it was in vain.

"You've messed with the wrong creatures, boy! Gnomes of the fores...ASSEMBLE!!!!" All the gnomes who were in battle and those who were in their homes gathered.

Forming a very large creature out of simple gnomes, they took a tool belt, a pickaxe, an ax, and a giant shovel.

"This is finally going to be of some use besides building that lab." Jeff laughed and ordered the gnomes to chase those twins.

.

.

"Hurry! Before they come after us!" Mabel was worried that they might overtake them.

"I wouldn't worry about it. You see their little legs? Suckers are tiny." Dipper made fun of the gnomes, he'll regret it in no time.

*Heavy steps*x7

Dipper stopped the golf cart.

"Dang." Mabel looked at the giant gnome.

"All right, guys, it's been 5 years of teamwork and building. Let's go!" The gnomes built hard together over 5 years, their teamwork, tenacity, strength, and skillful use of tools make them far stronger than the original.

*Roaring*

The giant gnome took a hammer from his utility belt to dent the golf cart.

"Move! Move!" Mabel waved Dipper to react.

Dipper shifted gears and floored the accelerator once more.

*Bang!*

The hammer left a mark on the ground.

"Go back with the prisoner! She can't go with you!" Jeff commanded the gnomes to put away the hammer and pull out the shovel.

"It's getting closer! And it's got a giant shovel this time!" Mabel was watching the situation for Dipper.

The giant Gnome pulled some nails from his utility belt and hit them with the shovel, then threw some gnomes.

"Nails and Flying Gnomes!" Mabel warned Dipper who started to zigzag.

"Right!" Dipper immediately took a right at Mabel's warning, and a giant nail landed there.

Some gnomes started hitting the car, and those who missed the target were caught by the giant gnome.

"Left!" Dipper turned left, and another giant nail fell.

Mabel punched a gnome out, and Dipper caught the one on the right and threw it out.

A gnome jumped in Dipper's face.

"I'll save you, Dipper!" Mabel began repeatedly punching the gnome in Dipper's face.

"Uh! Ow! Uh! Uh! Uh! Uh!" The gnome didn't let go.

"How tough." Mabel did not expect this gnome's resistance.

"Mabel, I'm not seeing anything!" Dipper screamed in fear that some giant nail would hit them.

Mabel looked back and grabbed the steering wheel, turning to the right.

"What can help...!" Mabel saw a Taser on the floor.

*Tktktktk*

"Wow." The taser made the gnome let go almost immediately.

"Thanks, Mabel." Dipper's face was scratched, and his eye was black from the punches.

"Don't mention it, and it was fun." Mabel snapped the taser.

By the time they were distracted, the giant gnome had gotten close and was ready to strike with an axe.

"Give her back!" Jeff yelled and commanded the gnomes to cut vertically.

Dipper and Mabel lowered their heads.

*Whoosh!* *Thud tum*

The roof of the golf cart was cut off.

"Can't you go any faster?!" Mabel asked a little nervously with the gnomes so close.

"We are almost there!" Dipper was nervous.

"Look! A pinata!" Mabel pointed to a pinata a little further on in a tree.

"What's a pinata doing here? Mabel grabs the baseball bat, it's candy time!" Dipper steered the car toward the pinata.

"Candy, don't let me down now!" Mabel took the cue, and when the pinata was right in front of her, she hit it.

"Jawbreaker?" Dipper looked at some marbles that fell into the golf cart.

Mabel took a few and put them in her mouth.

"What is this? Polka dots?" Jeff wondered but didn't care too much, after all, and they were over 15 feet tall.

And he would still not care if it wasn't...

*Skid* *Boomp*

The underside of the gnomes crumbled from the fall, but they quickly regrouped.

"Haha! Yeah!"x2 The twins celebrated and made a high five.

The gnomes sheathed the ax and drew the pickaxe.

"You're not going anywhere!" Jeff commands the gnomes to throw the pickaxe in front of the car.

"Look out!" Mabel warned Dipper.

Dipper turned to the right as fast as he could, thus dodging the pickaxe but losing control of the golf cart.

"Aaaaaah!!x2" Dipper and Mabel screamed, and the golf cart flipped over with its roof off.

*both groaning*

*Heavy Step*x3

"Stay back, man!" Dipper picked up the shovel and threw it.

*thump*

Jeff countered it with the hammer that was in his tool belt.

"Ahhhh!" x2

"Where's Gunkle Stan?" Dipper wondered because he was literally in front of the Mystery Shack.

"It's the end of the line, kids." Jeff moved closer to the two.

"Maybe, come back with us before we do something crazy!" Jeff was prepared for any other tricks.

"It's Mabel!"

"There's gotta be a way out of this." Dipper thought and pulled out the journal to have a look.

"I gotta do it." Mabel said determinedly as she remembered something.

"What?! Mabel, don't do this! Are you crazy?" Dipper wished he had heard wrong.

"Trust me." Mabel remained determined.

Dipper didn't object again and took a few steps back.

"All right, gnomes, I'm coming with you!"

"Great! Come on!" When the giant gnome was going to grab her.

"ARTHUR!!!" Mabel screamed as loud as she could.

"What?" Dipper wondered if it was the right thing to trust Mabel.

"D-D-D-Did you just yell "Arthur"?! Calm down, girl, look... we don't need to call him." Jeff said and tried to disguise his pleading voice, which, of course, was a failure.

The giant gnome was fidgeting and half kneeling.

"And why should I?" Mabel crossed her arms.

"Look, I think we got off on the wrong foot; how about-" Jeff was already shaking a little, but he froze completely when he was interrupted by a voice he knew very well.

"Mabel?! I'm coming!" Arthur's voice came from inside the hut, and his hurried footsteps were heard.

"Disperse! DISPERSE! Run! Quickly!" Jeff commanded, and immediately, the giant gnome began to disperse.

Several gnomes got together to get the tools loaded and get out of there as quickly as possible.

"What's wrong, Mabel?! Did something happen? Am I late? Are you hurt?" Arthur arrived and asked several questions, one after another, while checking Mabel's body.

"Nothing happened. I was just showing Dipper what you told me last time." Mabel hugged Arthur.

"*Sigh* I'm glad nothing happened..." I 'looked' towards where the gnomes were a moment ago.

"Uh, sorry to interrupt you two lovebirds, but what did you say to Mabel?" Dipper was curious about the gnomes' reaction.

"Hm? No big deal, I just said that no matter what the situation was, if Mabel screamed my name, her enemies would run away in fear. That's all." I scratched my head a little embarrassed, and Mabel smiled and teased him with her reaction and by missing a part of the sentence that she knew very well.

That wasn't all, there was one more embarrassing part that he wouldn't mention to Dipper:*Whisper* And if they don't run away, I'll finish them off myself...

"Let's go in. I made you guys a hot chocolate with marshmallows, you must have had a busy day today." I invited them in.

"Don't even tell me..." Dipper snapped some body parts.

"Ah! And do you know the weakness of a gnome if he existed, Dipper?" I prompted the question to pique Dipper's curiosity.

"What?" Dipper asked curiously due to recent events.

"A leaf blower and a dog whistle too." I smiled, and Dipper laughed.

"I should write this down for when I need it." Dipper was held by Mabel.

"Arthur, would you go ahead? I have something to say to Dipper."

"Okay, no need to rush. I'll keep the hot chocolate warm for when you come in." I turned to go inside and smiled at Mabel's attitude.

"Dipper, I'm sorry for ignoring your advice. You really were just looking out for me." Mabel wished she'd apologized sooner.

"Mabel, don't be like that. You save our butts back there. Remember? You put my head down when a gnome was going to hit her, warned me where the nails were coming from, hit that pinata, and screamed for your boyfriend, which saved us from those gnomes. You saved my life more than I saved you today." Dipper mentioned the times he was saved by Mabel, which was no small feat.

"We are even." Mabel punched Dipper in the shoulder.

"Awkward sibling hug?" Dipper spread his arms.

"Awkward sibling hug." Mabel spread her arms too.

"Pat, pat!"x2 After hugging each other, they entered the hut.

*Entry bell ring*

"Sheesh! You two get hit by a bus or somethin'? Aha!" Stan was counting the money but decided to make fun of his grandnephews' faces.

Dipper and Mabel ignored Gunkle Stan's joke, they were exhausted, and they preferred to get their hot chocolate from the kitchen.

"Uh, hey! W-Wouldn't you know it? Um, I accidentally overstocked some inventory, so how's about each of you take one item from the gift shop on the house?" Stan noticed their situation and tried to 'comfort' them in his way.

"Really?" Mabel asked happily as so far they couldn't even touch the merchandise.

"What's the catch?" Dipper doesn't trust his great-uncle after everything that happened during the stay.

"The catch is do it before I change my mind. Now take something." Stan went to put the money in the cash register, but there was no more room.

This has happened a lot since Arthur came up with the food idea.

"Oh, are you picking out something for yourselves? Take your time. When you're done, your hot chocolate will be here. Here's one for you, Mr. Stan." I handed him a hot chocolate.

"Ovaltine?" Stan, instead of drinking, asked.

"Yes, Ovaltine." I smiled at the direction he took due to our coexistence.

Stan was happy and was going to drink it all at once. Too bad Arthur was used to this and made Stan's hot chocolate much hotter so he could drink it slowly.

"Careful, it's hot." It's said in a neutral tone, but Stan could see my playful smile.

"...Grappling hook!" Mabel excitedly showed what she had chosen, thus interrupting Stan.

"Wouldn't you rather have a doll or something?" Stan took a slow sip of his drink.

"Here's your Dipper." He had already chosen the hat with a pine tree due to a certain gnome.

*Crash* *Thud*

'Well, I made some modifications to this Grappling hook. It will be useful depending on the situation.' I took a sip of my hot chocolate.

.

.

.

It's already night, but Mabel is very excited about everything that happened today, and Dipper is writing in 'his' journal now.

'This journal told me there was no one in Gravity Falls I could trust. But when you battle a hundred or more gnomes side-by-side with someone, you realize that they've probably always got your back.' Dipper wrote in the Journal his thoughts and also the weaknesses of gnomes.

Gnome Weaknesses: Arthur, Leaf Blowers, and Dog Whistle.

"Hey, Mabel, could you get the light?"

"I'm on it." Mabel aimed and threw the lantern out the window with the grappling hook.

"It worked!" The two laughed.

'Our uncle told us there was nothing about this town. But who knows what other secrets are waiting to be unlocked? This is Dipper Pines, three-time Piedmon Miffle School Spelling Bee finalist, signing off for the night.' Dipper finished writing the journal with the light outside and went to sleep in the meantime...

Stan closes the snack machine door.

*Static*

*Elevator going down*

"Stan, you arrived." Arthur took a sip of the energy drink he had made to keep himself awake.

'I have to correct my sleep after this...'

Stan threw a "Magazine" in Arthur's face.

"Be more careful where you put things! Dipper almost saw that magazine!" Stan was mad that Dipper could have gotten himself into all this trouble.

I removed the magazine from my face. It was in it that I wrote how to handle this machine and its daily review so that even Stan would understand.

"Well, changing the subject, the machine could be active at the end of July, with complete safety but..." I took another sip of the energy drink.

"We need the other two journals." I pointed to the journal we held.

"But the power problem is solved. You won't have to possibly steal atomic waste from the government to activate this portal." I finished my energy drink and set the glass down on the counter.

"Yes, but how can something so small provide so much energy? Will that alone be able to open the portal?" Stan looked at the new power source built into the wall.

"Relax, Mr. Stan, that's more than enough... More than enough." A circle was glowing blue with several cables connected behind it.

4985 words.

And the end of the first episode of Gravity Falls! It arrived, was it good? *laughs* I wanted to surprise and try to launch as fast as possible, so I didn't play games... And it was race week again. I have exams every 50 days or so. I did my best on this chapter and I sincerely hope you enjoyed it. Leave your comment thanking you, preferably thanking you because I left a good part of my leisure to launch this chapter for you, for the chapter, or for my hard work.^^^

All kidding aside, the pinata was put there by Arthur but it was more like a means of "Celebration", primarily because of Soos, even if the plan didn't quite work out because of Jeff.

(I hope he gets slammed in the next chapter)

Lazy Susan doesn't have a problem with her left eye anymore that's good, no? Arthur solved this problem the same way it was caused.

And Mabel had an evolution in the chapter, I also want you to talk if you noticed what the evolution was.

Arthur reprogrammed the camera and deleted its data remotely so that at five o'clock in the afternoon, a file automatically appeared.

I will still correct this chapter for you but I will mark the end time here.

17:05 New York or Washington D.C.

23:07 New York or Washington D.C. Fixed patch, no play during my only two days off;-;.
