Hand that rocks the mabel

for today's final demonstration"

Stan was on the front yard having just finished a "tour of the supernatural" ,many of the tourists surrounded him paying attention at what he had to say.

he picked a large old looking bag with a eye with a cross stamped on it

"this is the illusive sack of mystery,if you put your money in it it disappears before your eyes"he said,putting a bill of his own to show it,the crowd of tourists started to chat positively to each other before everyone putting a few dollars in there and leaving.

stan entered in the shack and started to count the money

"haha,the scams get easier each generation"he said to himself

On the living room dipper was reading a book while mabel and soos were on the ground watching a tv show

"the tiger was badly injured in the explosion but we fixed it...with a fist!" the announcer said showing a tiger with a fist attached punching himself as mabel and soos cheered and dipper laughed a bit.

"tiger fist will return after this message..." soos pointed at the tv

"hey this is the commercial i was telling you guys about"he said

"are you completely miserable" the announcer asked

"yes"said a random voice

"then you need to meet him,gideon the psychic"

"so don't waste your time with the so called man of mystery"said the announcer with a picture of stan with the word "fraud" over him

"so if you want to know more and see for yourself come tomorrow at the tent of telepathy"the announcer said before the commercial ended

"that seems legit"dipper said sarcastically closing his book

"it got me curious i'll give it that"mabel said making stan barge in with a angry face

"well don't be,ever since that kid started his stupid show i had nothing but trouble,stealing my customers"he said pumping his fist in the air with anger stepping off

"you guys think he is really psychic?"mabel asked her brother and friend

"with all we have seen in the short time,i wouldn't say it's impossible but i don't have my hopes up"dipper retorted

"well let's find out dudes"offered soos standing up,stan entered the room again

"no way,you don't pratonize the competition,no one under my roof goes under their roof you got me"he said angrily leaving yet again

"tents don't have roof,we have a loophole"said mabel grinning as they left

After a short drive in soos truck they arrived on a empty part of gravity falls with a few trees where there was a large blue tent with a star with a eye on the middle on the top of it. On front of it was a tall overweight man with a hawaiian shirt and a straw hat holding a large bag

"welcome welcome,put your money here and your ready to go" said the man

Once inside dipper noticed something

"wow,this is like a bizzaro version of the mystery shack"he noted

"yeah,they even have their own soos,look"mabel pointed to a handyman with a name tag "deuce"

soos looked at him suspiciously taking a bite of his empanada

"ladies and gentleman get ready for the show"

the curtains opened to reveal a stocky boy around the twins age,he had white puffy hair and pale-ish skin,he was wearing a bright blue suit with a black undershirt covered by a cape

"hello there visitors,my name is gideon gleeful"he announced with a flare,opening his cape and sending various pigeons flying around.

dipper raised a brow, "this is who stan hates,he is as old as us"he said quite surprised and dissapointed at the same time

"he doesn't look threatening"said mabel. looking at the boy who talked again

"ladies and gentlemen,is so good to have you here today,i have a vision that you all will say "woah" "he said waving his arms,from the sides of the stage came various fireworks that flew around the tent and exploded forming the word "gideon" in bright blue letters

"WOAH'the crowd said

"that was amazing"mabel said in awe at the fireworks

"the firework were pretty good,he doesn't impress me though"dipper said crossing his arms

After that gideon did a little musical number while reading people's minds while singing the number was nothing special until

"you enjoying this,than clap along ladies and gentlemen i can't hear it"he said,suddenly everyone including dipper,mabel and soos also stood and started to clap and move along

"what the"dipper said confused,he clearly not intending on doing that

once the music ended,everyone dipper regained control of his body,and stared at gideon,noticing a shadow appear and vanish in a instant

"thank you,thank for everyone's presence today,and come back eventually,i'll know when"he said,the curtains on the stage closing. Everyone applauded,except for dipper and soos who looked at each other

Now a few minutes later,the trio was seated on a cafe eating ice cream,mabel ate her happily humming to the tune to gideon's song while dipper had a thoughtfull face and soos was with a slightly serious face.

"you saw it too right dude,that shadow"dipper looked at soos and nodded

"yeah,but for what we saw recently i think it isn't too farfecthed the idea of other stand users around" he said getting mabel's attention

"you mean he may have one of your invisible ghost thingies,psshh,what are the odds of that many people in a single town have these things"she asked in a happy tone,from far a way they heard a something breaking.

"we don't really know,it may also be another supernatural thing like the gnomes we met a few days back"he said,mabel shuddering slightly

"if he is a stand user like me and soos,it may explain how we all stood up and danced against our will,that also means we have to be more careful around him"dipper said,soos and mabel nodded.

THE NEXT DAY

"hey check this out dipper,i managed to beddazle my face"mabel said with her face filled with sequins and glitter.

'DINGDONG'

"get that door will ya kids" stan shouted from the other side of the house

"i'll get it!"mabel rushed to the door and once opening the door she was met by

"oh hey,you're gideon from that show yesterday,that song is pretty catchy"she said making him chuckle

"heh,thanks,we didn't really meet yesterday but you did catch my eye during the show"he complimented

"yeah im pretty noticeable"she giggled

"who's at the door?!" asked stan,mabel signaled gideon to shush as she shouted back

"it's no one grunkle stan"she said

"i aprecciate your discretion,stan is not really my biggest such a sour lemon can be related to a sweet peach like you is beyond me"he said making mabel blush slightly

"oh gideon,stop"she punched him lightly on the shoulder

"i was wondering we could go somewhere together,i know a place with lots of dresses and things you could try"he said

"i don't know,my brother is kind of protective,i think he may get worried if i go without warning"she said rubbing her arm

"it will be quick,he won't even realize you were gone"gideon put his hand out

"alright then"she followed him

SOME TIME LATER

"you ready soos"dipper asked

"you are going down dude" soos responded

they looked at each other while summoning their stands ready to fight

"3"

"2"

"1"

"go"

both stands thrusted their hands foward

"rock"

"scissors"

"i win"dipper celebrated

"again?you're good at this"soos complimented eating a piece of a apple

"who could guess doing trivial things such as rock papers scissors could be so fun with stands"dipper laughed

mabel suddenly comes out with her face full of make up and long colorful nails

"hey dipper,check these out"she wiggled her finger in his face

"where you been,you look like a wolverine"he said

"i was just hanging with gideon for a bit,he is really nice when you get to meet him"she said making both stand users look at her

"you were with him? what did we say yesterday"dipper lectured making mabel look at him

"come on,he is just a harmless kid,besides we are just doing things i like,ever since the boat chase you and soos hanged around doing things with your ghosts or whatever" she said walking away leaving soos and dipper to just look at each other.

"you wouldn't get it"dipper mumbled,feeling soos hand on his shoulder

"c'mon soos,[maps and legends] found a track for us to follow"dipper said walking away

SCENECUT

on a rooftop elsewhere mabel and gideon were looking at the stary sky,she turned to him.

"whoa,the view from your family's warehouse is amazing,we can see the whole town from up here,too bad the distance also stops us from seeing anything up close"she said,gideon smiled at thus

"i thought you would say that,so i brought this"he picked a telescope from nowhere and gave it to mabel

"thanks,this is nice"she said taking a look at some and far away events until her gaze found dipper and soos walking through the woods while blowing wolves away,no doubt with their spirits,she put the telescope down and sighed,she felt a hand onher shoulder and turned to gideon

"is something wrong?you look sad"gideon asked in a friendly tone

"you wouldn't understand,is just 'sigh' dipper and soos have something that i don't in a way,and i feel like i don't belong"she said looking away

"well,being with you make me feel like a very special man"he said making her blush

mabel pushed his hand from her shoulder and looked him in the eyes.

'look gideon,i like your company and stuff,but i rather let's just be friends"she said

"at least give me one chance,i know a good restaurant that serves good food"he forced on

"gideon i..."

"it doesn't have to be romantic,just two good friends eating together,doesn't your brother also do this?"he said

momentarily taking her glance to the telescope once again,seeing dipper and soos seating around a campfire eating some roasted meat and laughing together. She sighed turning to her friend

"alright,just a date between friends,but just this once"she said making him smile widely

"thanks"he said hugging her as she chuckled with visible uncomfort.

SCENECUT

dipper and soos were using their stands to play a video game

"and you said yes?"dipper asked mabel

"i didn't know what to say,he just seemed so sincere i didn't want to crush his feelings,perhaps is just this once"she assured

"mabel,the way you say he is acting means he probably has a crush on you"mabel scoffed slightly

"c'mon im not that lovable"she laughed nervously,dipper just stared at her

"okay,i'll try to talk with him today i swear"she said

"can't you go with me though?"she asked clinging to her brother's arm who shook his head

"sorry,but me and soos will stay trying to use his stand to find the other journal,it has to be one of the completely random outcomes"he explained before the doorbell ringed

"i'll get it"mabel opened the door to reveal gideon in a fancier suit than normal next to a horse

"shall we go,a fantastic night awaits"he said with his hand out,making mabel laugh nervously

(the dinner scene went exactly the same)

it was later in the night and soos had already went home,dipper was sitting on the couch with a few bandages and bruises on his body from a few "accidents" from using soos stand.

he was reading a book,when mabel barged through the door and passed by him without saying a word which did not go unnoticed

"mabel,you okay"he asked looking at her,she just kept walking before bumping into stan,she looked at him to see he had a very angry face and a newspaper on his hand

"WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS?!"he shoved the newspaper on her face,showing a picture of her and gideon leaving the restaurant

"uhh,i i hmm"she was speechless,she had nothing to say

"well"he asked impatiently

dipper came from behind mabel

"give her a break,she is stressed enough"he defended,taking the piercing glare

"very well,but you better solve this,you're old enough to clean your own mess young lady"stan said watching mabel run past him before stomping away

dipper followed mabel to their room where she was on fetal position covering her face with the sweater

"c'mon mabel talk to me"he said kneeling next to her,tears were going down her face

"i don't know what happened,it was just a friend thing but then he started to pressure me to another date and i couldn't say no! it was like he was controlling me,i don't know what to do anymore"she started sobbing

dipper felt bad at her,maybe this could have been avoided if he wasn't so fixated in stand things and finding answers

"you're the smart one"she said in a low voice

"what should i do"she pratically begged with red eyes

"the only way to end this is to break up,say you are not interest"he said in a serious tone,mabel then grabbed his shoulder

"i can't do it,i don't knoiw why i can't deny him,can you go say that to him?"she asked

"m-mabel,i can't go you need to solve this mess"he started,he looked at her sad eyes and sighed

"alright,i'll go talk to him tomorrow night"he gave in,he almost fell over when mabel hugged him,he hugged back

"t-thank you"she said.

SCENECUT

dipper was in front of a club where gideon was waiting for mabel in a fancy booth,the white haired boy noticed the older teen approach.

"hey,gideon"dipper said approaching,the boy turned and smiled at him

"yes,i am a little busy now right,no autographs"he said making dipper coff a bit

"i'm not here for a autograph no,i am dipper pines,mabel's brother"he said making gideon put his hand out

"oh,mabel told me about you,a pleasure,looking good"he complimented

"yeah,uh...look,gideon. we have to talk,mabel isn't coming today"he expression became more stiff

"o-oh,is something wrong with her,is she sick?"he asked

"no,she is fine but she doesn't want to hang out with you anymore,all these advances you're making are stressing her out"he said

"so,what you're telling me is YOU came to break us up"he said in a slightly angry tone

dipper went slightly on edge

"hey you're not going to freak out right"he asked ready to deck the kid in the face,but gideon then smiled

"hmm,sorry my behavior i have some anger spikes from time to time"he said in a visibly fake tone

"so you're not mad"he asked suspiciously

"o-of course not. these things happen. Bygones you know"he said laughing

"right,see ya around then"he said walking away

SCENECUT

gideon is in his room looking at a mirror on his dresser,while angrily looking at a photo of the pines he had taken a few days back

"you don't know what you've done dipper pines,you just made the BIGGEST MISTAKE OF YOUR LIFE" the picture of the pines burned and various onjects in his room started to levitate,on the mirror a figure appeared behind gideon before the mirror shattered

SCENECUT

dipper and soos were in front of a warehouse,after he came back they received a call from a local news reporter talking about weird happening in gravity falls and wanted to talk to them,having passed the last few weeks facing the weirdness they accepted and the reporter gave a them a meeting location

"thanks for bringing me here soos,you didn't have to"dipper said

"no biggie dude,i was working the night shift anyways,might as well continue with our little club project"he said,his phone then ringed

"i gotta take this call,you go first and i'll catch up later"dipper nodded

dipper entered the large warehouse,seeing nothing but darkness and a few boxes but no sign of life.

"hello,is someone there,im here to talk about the supernatural sights"dipper's voice echoed through the metal walls,the lights suddenly turned on revealing gideon sitting a chair on the center of the warehouse.

"hello there"he said with a fake smile,the door suddenly slammed shut

"gideon,what are you doing here"he asked but it fell on deaf ears

"tell me pines,how long have you've been on this town? a week,two? you are out of your league here boy"he said puzzingly

"if this is about mabel,she doesn't want anything to do with you i told you before"dipper said making gideon angry

"DON'T LIE TO ME! she was getting into me and you SPLIT US APART,she was my peach dumpling"he shouted angrily

"look i don't want trouble,we can still talk about this"he was cut short by gideon,his amulet shining brightly

"no!you have medled in my affairs enough pines ! now i will crush you to pieces."

behind gideon appeared a large cloak surrounded by chains as if something was trapped,besides were two large floating white gloves and a star similar to the one in gideon's tent serving as the head.

"[frontier man],this will be quick dipper,you won't feel a thing"gideon said darkly,his stand approaching it's floating hands going to grab dipper's head to presumably crush it.

"i won't go down easily you bastard" he screamed

"[maps and legends]"

in one swift motion the stand swatted the floating hands away,before delivering a punch in the floating star making the cloak just float there

'EUREKA'

"w-what?you have one too urgg"gideon suddenly felt a rush of pain surge through his body when [maps and legends] barraged the cloak with punches

'kakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakaka eureka'

"you DARE!" the cloak glowed blue and it was suddenly and forcefully pulled closer to gideon as his amulet flickered for a bit until it flashed as normal

"your stand is pretty fast,but i am still leagues above you"the boxes around the warehouse were covered by a blue glow amd started to float

'that is how he got us to dance that day'dipper sweatdropped at the boxes being hurled at him. Using his stand he was able to swat some away pretty easily while other larger boxes he ahd to dodge due to his stand not being the strongest.

"i intended to just end this quickly and pretend it was a accident,for mabel's sake,but you forced my hand to end you more painfully

[frontier man] thrust his hand foward covering dipper in the blue glow,he felt like all gravity just left his body as he started to float up helplessly,from a nearby box a pair of scissors came out,slowly floating towards dipper

"no one will help you know pines,you are alone"gideon mocked,dipper eyes widened

"you're wrong im not alone" his stand appeared and headed for a open window,going throught it

"what?no,get him [frontier man]"

the floating hands flew to chase the stand through the window.

[maps and legends] flew out of the warehouse and after spotting soos headed straight for it,the hands hot on it's trail,as it was about to grab the feet of the stand,the gloves stopped like they had just hit a barrier,from inside the warehouse gideon gasped in surprise

"too far away?! just how big is your range?"he said incredulous

dipper smirked

"big enough"as if right on cue the large door flew off it's hinges forcing gideon to focus on it,making the scissors

"dude!what's wrong? woah,you were right"soos said upon seeing gideon's stand

"the handyman has a stand too,grr"gideon growled at the knowledge he had been found and was outnumbered

"you leave me no choice then" [frontier man] hands cupped together forming a small energy sphere,then started to spin gathering more energy and making the ball of energy grow larger and larger

"watch out soos"dipper warned

'gideon prophetic beam'

a large bright blue beam shot from the hands staright into soos

"[RAM]spin" the roulette on the stands chest started to sort through various symbols until stopping in the symbol of a shield

in front of the stand a multicolored shield appeared and tanked the beam, [ram]thrust it's arms foward making the shield push back the beam

"grr,this is impossible,my beam should crash right through"he growled

the beam stopped while the shield was shining brightly,suddenly it released a rainbow beam 2 times larger than gideon's beam

gideon used the floating hands to draw a star in front of him creating a spherical shield,when the beam hit it just went right though making gideon scream and fall to his knees feeling the power of the attack

the white haired boy stood up angrily,smoke was emanating from his body

"how can someone with a potato sack for a brain have such fearsome power?"he demanded

"I'LL KILL YOU ALL"various scissors started to float and spin like buzzsaws,heading in dipper's direction

"not on my watch dude,spin" [RAM] spinned the roulette once again,ending in a symbol of a large cup of soda

the stand then opened it's mouth and released a very loud 'burp' that blew gideon and the scissors into the other side of the warehouse

"this isn't the end,i will burn down all you looooove,"he said standing up in pain

"gideon?!"he turned around to see mabel watching the scene incredulously

"m-m-mabel,it's so good to see you"he said nervously

"watchout dudette,he has a stand"soos warned,making gideon turn to shout at him

"don't put yourself between our talk"he was interrupted when mabel pulled his amulet and ripped it off,causing [frontier man] to halt in the air.

"you tried to kill my brother,you psycho. like i would still be your friend"mabel threw the amulet to dipper who used it to float down

"can't use your stand without this huh"dipper's eyes widened when he saw gideon charge at him

gideon tackled dipper through the window,making both fall to their doom

"dude"soos screamed

"dipper"mabel looked at the edge,then at soos

"use your power,save them"she shouted

"i can't dude,even if i get something good they are too far away"he said

suddenly mabel felt as if something clicked,as if something had just woke up,something that wasn't there before,she was filled by a new drive,a new willpower to save dipper.

"DIPPER,I'LL SAVE YOU" from the teen's body came a figure that punched the side of the building

'adorable'

a colorful line appeared on the entire side of the building spreading downwards while dipper and gideon were fighting mid air.

"ahhhhh"they both shouted,when they collided on the ground they felt something soft,looking down,they had fallen on a large patch made of green yarn

"DIPPER"from top the building mabel slid down the side of the building as the trail dissapeared as she passed through.

after landing,dipper saw there was a figure behind her.

it was around her size,feminine build and pink skin,with yellow eyes and ranbow hair that resembled dreads. she was wearing a very large sweater over her body reaching above her knees,with a star shaped belt making the sweater double as a dress,on her legs she had rainbow socks and sneakers

"mabel,you have a stand"dipper said amazed

"yeah,im just happy your safe,and for you gideon"she said in a serious tone lifting the amulet

"our friendship is OVER"her stand hit it breaking it

what they didn't expect was that upon breaking,gideon's eyes shined blue and he started to scream in pain. [frontier man emerged and started to scream also,as the hands exploded before the chains surrounding the cloak were shattered,from gideon's eyes and mouth came a bright blue smoke that emerged violently,forming a screaming head in the sky before vanishing,leaving gideon to fall on his back

"i didn't expect that"said mabel looking at gideon who woke up breathing hardly,making both twins stay on guard

"ah,where am i"he stood up,looking at the teens

"who are you,why am i wearing a suit,grrr"he felt a sudden headache hit him,he then looked at dipper and mabel with widened eyes

"you,you are the one i,i-im sorry i need to go"he ran away

SCENECUT

it cuts to a old beaten up shack in the middle of the woods,where one lonely figure was sat down

"hmmm,it seems like gideon is free,he isn't a treat now,let's focus on the big picture"he said closing a book,revealing a red journal with a golden "2" on the cover.
