For the record, I don't own anything that's related to Gravity Falls, because if I did, there'd be more new episodes by now. :P

Monday

"AHHH!" Mabel screamed as the giant lifted his arm into the air, far above the forest. She gripped one of his arm hairs like a rope and dangled from his arm, her feet kicking a pinecone off the top of a pine tree.

Her brother Dipper ran around frantically under her, and she couldn't help but smile. "Hey Dipper!" she yelled down to him, her voice almost drowned out by the giant's roar as he hurled a rock at Dipper.

He dove to the ground, rolling onto his feet as he dodged the giant rock. "What?! Are you okay?!" he yelled back up at her.

Mabel giggled as she watched him jump out of the way of the giant's toothpick, which was about the size of a full grown tree trunk.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, but you look like a cute little ant down there, running around, trying to save my life like an adorable little hero!" She laughed, and Dipper scowled up at her as another tree sailed over his head.

He swept a few pine needles off the top of his cap and rolled his eyes as he watched his sister climb onto the top of the giant's arm and swing from it like a monkey bar. She smiled and pushed her foot against a nearby tree, causing a pinecone to fall right on his head.

Apparently, pinecones can substitute as idea light bulbs, because suddenly Dipper had an idea. He ran across the clearing, ducking as a tree stump flew through the air and landed right where he'd been staring.

"Seriously man, give it a rest!" he yelled, exasperated. Dipper got a roar in return, echoed by Mabel's laugh as she pulled herself up to balance on the giant's shoulder.

He grabbed a branch of a pine tree and hoisted himself onto the next one, climbing higher and higher.

"Ha ha," Mabel sang, "Look at little monkey Dipper, climbing up the tree like a…an, um…zipper!" He rolled his eyes.

"Get a better teasing song, sis," he said, almost to the top of the tree. She stuck her tongue out at him and held her arms out as she ran along the arm.

"Look at me, I'm an airplane!" she yelled, blowing air through her lips to sound like a motor. "Pbbbbbt!"

Seriously, does she need to be tested or something? Dipper thought, balancing on the top branch of the tree. The giant swung his arm around, and Mabel wobbled a bit.

"Whoa," she said, feeling a little worried as the giant shook his arm, raising it to beat his fists against the ground. Mabel screamed as she lifted into the air. Dipper's eyes widened as the giant's arm came back up, hitting Mabel as she began to fall and slip her hold on the giant.

He swung his arm around near Dipper, and Mabel's foot kicked him in the head. He pressed his hand to the budding bruise and wrapped his arms around the tree trunk, steadying himself.

"Ugh, okay," he muttered to himself. "First things first, try not to throw up*." He took a deep breath and ran back onto the branch, just in time for Mabel to come swinging back around, almost fully off the arm.

Dipper jumped up and grabbed her foot, pulling her down to the tree branch. She was almost unconscious from her impact with the arm, and when she opened her eyes, they looked pained.

Dipper was about to be a little panicked until he thought of something. "During that fall, you bit your tongue, didn't you?" She put a hand to her mouth and nodded with a groan, and Dipper dragged her to the tree trunk.

"How do you feel?" he asked, stepping down onto the branch below them.

"Like…pain," she said, running a hand through her hair and stepping down a few branches. "Smile Dip-level pain." Dipper smiled and cringed, remembering the strange trip his sister had been on while on the spoiled candy.

Suddenly the branch they'd been standing on snapped, sending the twins plummeting to the ground. Dirt and dust clouded around them, and Mabel moaned.

"Okay, now I feel like barf." She spit out some dirt. "And apparently taste like dust."

Dipper simply groaned and rolled onto his side. The only thing that made him feel the need to open his eyes was the angry roar of the giant, prompting him to get up and scream, "SHUT UP ALREADY!"

"Why is he so angry?" Mabel asked. Dipper shrugged. "I think he has issues," he concluded.

The twins ran out of the clearing, finally collapsing in the dusty yard of the Mystery Shack. Stan walked by and looked at his niece and nephew quizzically.

"Uh, you two plan on coming inside? I mean, I'm all for sleeping all day, but I think the couch is a little more comfortable than dirt."

"Not to me," Dipper mumbled, turning onto his side. "How about you Mabel?" She snored in reply, her hair covering her like a blanket.

He looked back at Stan with a tired smirk. "Consider the couch vetoed," he said, taking a deep breath and falling asleep.

*I actually looked on Google, and apparently a hard enough hit can make you feel sick. Go figure. :P
