Hello fellow Homo Sapiens! (That's Human Being in Latin, I think.) I present to you… another Gravity Falls story! I don't really have much to say, but remember this…-dramatic pause-...alpacas have very fluffy fur. (Or is it wool?) Anyways, enjoy thy story!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Gravity Falls, if I did, it probably wouldn't be as awesome.
Chapter 1: Body Switched
It happened again.
"Dipper, how many times do I have to tell you? Wash your clothes!"
"Don't act like you're the only one stuck in this situation! I have to deal with your braces...and why is there glitter stuck in your teeth?!"
Let's reverse…
It had been a normal day in the Mystery Shack… Well as normal it could be, anyways. Dipper and Mabel were in the living room watching some mindless sitcom when they heard yelling coming from the other room. Curious, they decided to check what the fuss is all about.
As they neared closer, they saw Stan and Ford arguing (As usual.) in front of Ford's room.
"Stanley, I thought you said you didn't touch my stuff! What in the world did you do to my room?!"
Stan threw his hands up in the air in exasperation. "For the love of everything that's paranormal, Poindexter, I didn't do nothin'! It was probably one of the kids or Soos! Pretty sure Soos uses it as a break room or somethin'."
Ford scoffed and crossed his arms. "He's your employee, so you're still held responsible for this mess." He said, using an arm to motion the room.
Stan glanced at the room for a second for turning back to his brother, more than done with this conversation. "What mess?!"
Sighing, Ford pinched the bridge of his nose from under his glasses. A bit (Only by a bit.) quieter than Stan, he answered, "I mean it figuratively, not literally, Stan. My stuff is missing. Like, where the heck did my electron carpet go?!"
"Huh? Whazzat?"
Ford glared daggers at his brother. His fist clenched and unclenched in rage as his left eye twitched. Ford grit his teeth, trying desperately to keep himself from lashing out on him.
"It's literally a carpet with a tag that says 'Experiment 78, Electron Carpet.'"
"Well sorry for not knowing what the heck your nerd stuff is!"
"At least I'm getting an apology for something!"
Dipper and Mabel turned to each other with unimpressed looks. The first few arguments the two grumpy men had been worrying, and perhaps a bit dangerous, like that time when Stan had accidentally unleashed Probabilitor the Annoying, but now it was just getting old.
"For waffles' sake! Why dontcha ask one of the kids where your dumb carpet is?"
"You know what!? I think I will! KIDS!"
The younger twins emerged from their hiding spot behind the wall and walked up to them, acting like they hadn't just heard their argument.
"Yes, Great Uncle Ford?" Mabel chirped.
Ford turned to them, surprised, obviously not expecting them to be so quick. He got out if his shock, though, and cleared his throat and kneeled down. He shot them a small smile. "Would any one of you know where my electron carpet is? You see it's a aqua carpet with this yellow circle in the middle…" Ford said, making a circular motion with his hands.
The twins perked up simultaneously and shouted in unison, "I know where it is!" Dipper and Mabel turned towards each other. Mabel smiled, with a hint of smugness in her tone.
"Well Dippin' sauce, you'll have to be quick if ya wanna beat it to me for getting that rug too Great Uncle Ford. Race you to the stairs!" With that, she pointed at him with finger guns and raced towards the stairs.
Dipper hesitated a bit, not wanting to look childish in front of his idol, but that quickly was replaced with his desire to help said idol. He ran after her and called, "Hey! He was obviously looking at me when he said that!"
After the younger twins left, both Stans resorted back to glaring at each other.
Mabel reached the stairs and bolted towards the attic, laughing all the way. She quickly located the carpet rolled up in the corner and grabbed it. She turned to leave but didn't get far before Dipper crashed into her.
Both fell to the floor with a yelp, with Mabel dropping the carpet in the process. After recovering from the fall, the twins both got up and dived for it. Mabel's sweater brushed against the carpet for a split second before hitting heads with Dipper.
'Clonk'
"Ow…."
Without looking back at Dipper, Mabel quickly grabbed the carpet with a victory shout and left the room, mumbling a quick apology to her twin. Running back downstairs, Mabel barely heard Dipper's desperate cry of "Wait!"
Mabel held up the carpet with a triumphant grin.
"Here you go, Great Uncle Ford!"
Ford looked down at her with a small smile.
"Ah, Thank you, Dipper."
Wait… Dipper?
He reached down to pat her head and took the carpet from her hands. Shooting Stan a glare, Ford walked into his room, slamming the door shut behind him. Stan just rolled his eyes and huffed, making a beeline to the living room. Once they were both gone, Mabel looked towards the stairs where Dipper was, only to see herself.
Finally understanding what was happening, her eyes widened into the size of saucers. But before she could scream, Dipper made a move to grab her wrist and drag her up to their room before anything else happened.
Ta da! This will be another multi-chapter story! My goal is to make this over 10 thousand words, but I'll most likely fail. I'll try my best to spread stuff out more, though. See you in a few days! (Not literally. It would be creepy for me to just randomly show up at your door, dear reader(s).
