It was just another regular day at the Mystery Shack. Stan, and Skyla were giving a tour to those that came by, and Soos, Wendy and Andrew were just doing what they were normally doing in the Mystery Shack gift shop. The triplets and Gary on the other hand were sitting in the living room were watching whatever was on the television and they seemed to be enjoying the entertainment.
"The Tiger was badly injured in the explosion!" The TV announcer said, "But we repaired him… WITH A FIST! Tiger Fist will return after these messages!"
"Who do you think would win a fight, the tiger with a fist or a raging bull?" Mabel asked.
"Meh, I'd say they were equally matched." Mira said before taking a sip from her juice box.
Just than a commercial that was familiar to Gary had come on. "Hey check it out." Gary said, "It's that commercial that I was telling you about."
"Are you tired of feeling miserable?" The narrator of the commercial had asked an actor who was crying.
"Yes! I am!" The actor said.
"Then you need to meet--Gideon!" The narrator said, saying the name Gideon with a whisper.
"Gideon?" Dipper said with a quizzical expression.
"What makes him so special?" Mabel asked.
The narrator of the commercial answered that question for her, "He's a psychic!"
"A psychic?" Mira said, "That's a new one."
The narrator of the commercial continued at one point showing a picture of Stan with wording at the bottom of the picture it had read, "FRAUD", "So don't waste your time with the so called "man of mystery". Learn about tomorrow tonight at Gideons Tent of Telepathy!"
"Tent of Telepathy?" Mira couldn't help but repeat.
"Ooh boy!" Mabel said, "I'm getting all curiousy!"
Stan and Skyla had soon walked into the room, "Well don't get too curious." Stan said, "Ever since that monster Gideon rolled into town he's been nothing but trouble."
"Oh, come on, it couldn't be that bad." Dipper said. Skyla said to Dipper, "Oh you would think that. For one thing Gideon keeps stealing our customers and then he stole my dad's parking space, seven times this last month and so on."
"You're just overreacting about that." Mabel said, "Who knows maybe he really is a psychic."
"Maybe we should go over there and find out." Dipper suggested.
"Never! Absolutely not!" Stan said to the kids, "You're forbidden from patronizing the competition!"
Skyla had added, "No one that lives under our roof is allowed under Gideons roof!"
"Last I checked tents don't have roofs." Gary pointed out with a smirk.
"We might've just found our loophole." Mira said.
"Literally!" Mabel exclaimed, holding a rope with a loophole as she made funny sounds.
"So come down soon folks." The narrator of the commercial on TV said, "Gideon is expecting you."
-Later that Night-
The triplets, Gary, Andrew and Soos had arrived at the tent of telepathy. They had gone inside and found some seats towards the front row. The triplets couldn't help but be in awe by what they were seeing. "This… is kind of weird looking." Mira couldn't help but say.
"Yeah, it's like a bizarro version of the Mystery Shack." Dipper said, "They even have their own version of Soos." They looked over and saw the Soos look alike, who was named Deuce; Soos couldn't help but glare at him. The kids on the other hand were a little creeped out. "That's so disturbing…" Gary said with a shiever.
"It's no wonder mom never allowed us to come here." Andrew said.
Soon enough the lights began to dim, and the whole crowd had gotten quiet.
"It's starting! It's starting!" Mabel said with excitement.
Dipper crossed his arms, "Okay, let's see what this monster looks like."
The curtains drew open and it was revealed to be a tiny cute kid wearing a light blue baby suit with a starch of white hair, and he wore a white cape with a star at the back of it. "Hello America!" He said with a cheerful tone, "My name is Lil' Gideon!"
The kid named Gideon clapped twice and suddenly doves flew right out of his hair; the crowd cheered. Dipper, Mira, Gary and Andrews jaw dropped at the sight of Gideon.
"No way…" Mira said astonished, "That's Gideon?"
"That's the guy our mom doesn't like?" Gary said with disbelief.
"That's the guy that stole Stan's parking space?" Andrew asked.
"That's Stan's mortal enemy?" Dipper said
"But he's so wittle." Mabel said with a kitten face.
Gideon said to the audience, "Ladies and gentlemen, it is such a gift to have you all here tonight! Such a gift. I have had a vision. I predict that you all soon say… Awww."
Gideon turned around and back, and he had cute little anime eyes; true to his words, the whole crowd had said awww. "It came true." Mabel said with a whisper.
"Oh, come on that was an easy one." Mira said.
"I'm not impressed." Dipper said.
"Yes you are." Mabel had retorted.
Gideon snapped his fingers, "Hit it dad!"
His dad, by the name of Bud Gleeful started to play a cheerful tone on the piano. After a couple of beats, and throwing his cape to the audience, Gideon began to sing.
Oh, I can see, what others can't see
It ain't some sideshow trick, it's innate ability
Where others are blind, I am futurely inclined
And you too could see, if you was widdle ol' me!
"Come on, everybody, rise up! I want you all to keep it going!" Gideon said to the audience. Just than the whole crowd, the Pines and Soos included had unintentionally stood up. As Dipper was wondering how everyone was standing, Mira suddenly felt the whole world start to spin and she started to feel dizzy and sick to her stomach. She held her head and groaned, however her siblings didn't notice she was looking pale.
"Keep it going!" Gideon said before he started to sing again.
You wish your son would call you more
"I'M LEAVING EVERYTHING TO MY CATS!" An elderly woman had shouted.
I sense that you've been here before
"Oh what gave it away?" Sheriff Bulbs said. Dipper couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw Blubs clearly wearing souvenirs from the Tent of Telepathy.
Gideon then went over to where the Pines sat.
I'll read your mind if I'm able
Something tells me your names Mabel
Gideon went back to the stage leaving Mabel impressed, "How did he do that?"
"I think I could guess." Andrew said seeing as how her shirt had her name across written in bright stitched colors.
So welcome all ye… To my Tent of Telepathy
And thanks for visiting… Widdle ol' me!
The song came to an end, and Gideon took deep breaths, and drank from a bottle of water as the crowd cheered. Gideon bowed, "Thank you! You people are the real miracles!" Everyone had left the tent, completely overjoyed, the Pines were the last to leave the tent. They were talking about the show that they had just seen.
"Man that kid is an even bigger than mom and Stan!" Gary said, "It's no wonder that they're jealous."
"Give the guys a break, his dance moves were adorable." Mabel said, "And did you see his hair? It was like, whoosh! Am I right Mira, or am I right?"
"Yeah… Whoosh, right…" Mira groaned still feeling a bit dizzy.
They had finally noticed Mira looking a bit sickly. "Hey are you okay?" Andrew asked with concern.
Mira groaned and rubbed her head, "I don't feel to good…."
"You're not getting sick are you?" Dipper asked with concern.
"I… I don't know… I just feel dizzy…" Mira replied.
"It's probably from all the excitement, let's get you home so you can get some sleep." Mabel said. They proceeded to the car unaware that a pair of eyes was watching them leave.
-The Next Day-
Dipper and Gary were sitting in the living room reading a couple of pages in the journal, while Gary was playing solitaire. Mabel had soon approached him with a bunch of jewels on her face. "Check it out Dipper!" Mabel said with a smile, "I successfully bedazzled my face!" She tried to blink but it caused agonizing pain, "Ow."
"Is that permanent?" Dipper asked curiously.
"I'm unappreciated in my time." Mabel said. Mira soon entered the living room; though the siblings saw that she was shivering. "Mira are you okay?" Dipper asked.
"Ye-yeah, I'm fine…" Mira replied, "I just… Feel a bit cold."
"But it's summertime, you shouldn't even feel cold." Gary said. Dipper got up from his seat and went over to her; he placed his hand on her forehead, "That's weird, you don't have a fever." He said.
"Than why do I feel cold?" Mira asked as she tried to warm herself up. Mabel then said, "I know what'll help you get warm sister!" Mabel said before throwing a sweater on Mira that had read 'Get Well', "Boop! Get well sweater!"
"... Well I… I do feel a bit warmer." Mira had admitted before saying, "Thanks Mabel."
"That's what siblings are for." Mabel said with a smile.
Just than they heard the doorbell ring.
"Somebody answer the door!" Stan yelled from the other room.
"I got it!" Mabel said, getting the jewels off of her face; She went straight for the door. She opened the door; at first it didn't seem like anyone was there. That is until he looked down and saw that it was Gideon.
"Howdy." He greeted with a smile.
Mabel gasped, "It's wittle ol' you!" She said with glee.
Gideon laughed nervously before saying, "Yes, my song is quite catchy. Now I know that we haven't formally met but after yesterday's performance, I just couldn't get your laugh out of my head."
"You mean this one?" Mabel asked before laughing obnoxiously.
"Oh what a delight!" Gideon said, "Now when I saw you in the audience, I said to myself, 'Now there's a kindred spirit! Someone who appreciates the sparkly things in life!'"
"That's totally me!" Mabel said, before coughing up some jewels; they landed on Gideon's collar and he was left impressed.
"Enchanted." Gideon whispered, "Utter enchanted."
"Mabel sweetheart, who's at the door?!" They heard Skyla shout.
"Nobody's here cousin Sky!" Mabel shouted back.
"I appreciate your discretion." Gideon said, "Now Stan, or Skyla are no fans of mine. I don't know how two pairs of lemons so sour could be related to a peach so sweet."
Mabel couldn't help but laugh at that comment.
"What do you say we step away from here, and chat a bit more?" Gideon asked, "Perhaps in my dressing room?"
"Oh! Makeovers!" Mabel said before poking his stomach
Gideon laughed before saying "Ow"
With that, both Mabel and Gideon left for his house to have some fun with makeovers.
