3rd person's POV
Dipper and Mabel have gone back to the Mystery Shack for winter vacation. They are in their room playing mini golf.
"FOOUURR!" Dipper screamed like a girl.
"You don't have to say that anymore Dipper, you already broke the window and hit the only person outside, Tyler the biker, and he's on the way to the emergency room," Mabel rolled her eyes.
"Oh Mabel, I am just having fun, could you-" Stan bursts in the room.
"ROAD TRIP!" He screamed.
"Road trip? What should I bring? How many sweaters will I need? Can I bring my grappling hook, too?" Mabel asks frantically.
"Grunkle Stan, where are we going? How long will we be gone? Does it have to do with one of your scams? Why do you look scared?" Dipper asks much more frantic than Mabel.
"Why are you asking so many questions? You kids just get packed and meet me in the car in 15 minutes," Stan said sternly, as he walked down the creaky, old stairs.
"Where do you think we are going, Dipper?" Mabel said.
"I have no idea, but I better bring the Journal, you never know if someone or something is out there."
"Are you kids ready yet? Let's get going!" Said Stan.
On the road, going away from Gravity Falls, Mabel and Dipper are singing, Dipper sounds like nails on a chalkboard.
"Don't start un-believing," Mabel sings.
"Never don't not feel your feelings!" Screeched Dipper.
"Hey, you stole my thunder, and you didn't even sound that good, you went higher pitch than the song!" Screamed Mabel.
"Alright, calm down you two, we are almost there," Grunkle Stan said, nervously.
Meanwhile, back in Gravity Falls, Gideon is talking to his Dad,
"Get the car ready, Father, we're going to the Mystery Shack, and get my envelopes from Mother!"
"Is it really time, Gideon?" Bud asks.
"OOOHHHH it's time Father, AHAHAHAHA!" Gideon laughs evilly.
On the way, to the Mystery Shack, Gideon opens his Journal. He is looking for something, because he has his flashlight under the pages to find something, obviously hidden.
"Father, you drive like an old woman, STEP ON IT!" Gideon said impatiently.
Pulling up to the Mystery Shack, Bud noticed that the Stanley mobile is gone.
"Son, why are we here, if Stan is not here?" Bud asks nervously.
"I don't need Stan, he doesn't have what it takes to find the truth, he might think he does, BUT HE DOESN'T! Only I know the secrets of Gravity Falls!"
Back in the car, about an hour later,
"Are we there yet?"
"For the thousandth time, NO MABEL! But we are close, so shut up!" Stan said,
"Grunkle Stan, are you ever going to tell us what is going on? Or where we are going?" Dipper asked politely.
"I guess I should warn you about what is about to happen, I have been keeping a secret and I don't know how to say it. Well, I have a brother and his name is Stanley and he is in a mental institution in Washington, for saying he knows the secrets of Gravity Falls."
"Secrets of Gravity Falls? Are you saying that I was right, I knew there was something fishy about this place, see I told you Mabel!"
"What are you talking about Dipper, you said there were monsters, time warps and scary things, in the woods. How can you know you know when you don't know anything?" Mabel said matter-o-factly.
"Okay, okay, I have had enough, I am trying to tell you about my brother, hey wait a minute, we're here. I will let you know in just a minute, let's go inside and you can see for yourselves." Stan said.
"How do I look? Am I wearing the right sweater?" Mabel's sweater says 'Mabel' on it.
"Yes, Mabel it looks fine," Dipper said, rolling his eyes.
"I am here to pick up my brother, Stanley Pines,"
"Stanley Pines was released a year ago, sir,"
"What!? I got this letter yesterday from Cray Cray Mental Hospital, that is you isn't it?"
"Well yes sir, it is, but we wouldn't have written a letter, we would call. Let me see the letter."
"Here,"
"I can verify that this is indeed not from our hospital, I do not recognize this signature," The doctor said looking at the letter.
"Let me see," Dipper said. "Wait a minute, this looks familiar, look at the signature Mabel,"
"Hey, this says ." Mabel said, surprised. "It looks like it could be Gideon..."Mabel hissed.
"Your right Mabel, this is a trick, I just know it. Grunkle Stan we better get back to the Mystery Shack, Wendy may be in danger!" Dipper said almost crying.
"Wendy? Why are you worried about Wendy?" Grunkle Stan asked.
"She's there all alone, watching the Shack while we are gone, probably brushing her long red hair... WAIT! Did I just say that out loud?!"
"Yes, yes you did, I knew you had a crush on her. Wendy and Dipper sitting in a tree..." Mabel started to sing.
"Will you stop, I don't have a crush, I don't even like her," Dipper said with a crackling voice.
"OOOOHHHH, I am going to tell her you don't like her," Mabel said wittingly,
"Well, I do like her but not like that," Dipper snapped.
"Like what Dipper, like a GIRLFRIEND?" Mabel mocked. Dipper blushed.
"Are you two finished? We have to get back to the Mystery Shack before Gideon finds the...?" Stan stopped before he finished his sentence.
"Find what Grunkle Stan?" Dipper asked.
"Yeah, find what, is it my bezazzaler, I can't seem to find it. I have been looking all ov..." Mabel started.
"Mabel will you stop thinking about yourself and think about the possibilities, maybe Gideon is trying to steal the deed again!" Dipper said nervously.
"Let's go kids, we've got to get back quick!" Stan yelled.
Back at the Mystery Shack, Gideon and his Dad are walking around the Shack and notice the mailbox that has answers, hidden behind the shed.
"There it is Father, I found it! Give me those envelopes, NOW" Gideon says angrily.
Gideon puts one envelope, in the mailbox. The mailbox shakes and rattles and POP, the mailbox opened.
"It's here, it's here!" Gideon starts to read the answer. "The secret to Gravity Falls in a vault, under the mystery shack. UNDER THE MYSTERY SHACK, give me the second envelope!"
Gideon puts the next envelope, in the mailbox.
"Gideon, what does the letter say?" Bud asks sheepishly.
"Shut up old man! This is a need to know situation, and you don't need to know!"
The ground was shaking and the mailbox was smoking and then POP it opened again.
Gideon read the answer out loud.
"The combination is in Dipper's Journal. DIPPER'S JOURNAL!? I just sent them on a wild goose chase, what to do, what to do?" Gideon says while tapping his finger on his cheek.
"Son, maybe we should look inside the Mystery Shack?" Bud said.
"No, that would never work! Oh, I know, why don't we go look in the Shack!" Gideon says.
"Brilliant!" Bud exclaims.
Gideon swung open the door to the shack. Wendy was sleeping, behind the desk.
"Let's look for Dipper's room, I'm sure he hid it somewhere in there." Gideon said with an evil voice.
"I'll look in here, okay Gideon?" Bud asked
"No, you look over here, old man! I am going upstairs!" Gideon said.
Gideon ran upstairs and went into Dipper and Mabel's room.
"So this is where my little marshmella sleeps at night. I wonder if she thinks about me?" Gideon says to himself.
Gideon grabs the golf club and starts swinging it all around banging into the wall and dresser. He is searching for the Journal and notices...
"Oh, what's this, Mabel's bezazzaler. I remember when she coughed up sparkles on me, ENCHANTING, UTTERLY ENCHANTING..." Gideon said.
"Have you found anything yet?" Bud screamed.
"Will you just keep looking and leave me alone!" Gideon said irate. "I want to find the journal before they come back!"
Gideon could not find the journal, in the kids' room, so he ran down stairs, although he thought the journal may still be in the house, he wanted to leave. He screamed for Bud, "FATHER, what are you doing?" Gideon asked angrily.
"I am doing whatever you say, my little ray of sunshine," Bud answered.
"Let's get out of here," Gideon stated. Just then, Wendy called out to see who was in the Shack, she had been sleeping and did not want to get caught, so she ran around the outside and came in front door.
"Who's here?!" Wendy said nervously.
"It's wittle ole me!" Gideon said in a sweet voice. Disguising himself as a nice guy.
"Gideon, does Stan know you're here?" Wendy asked.
"Why, yes, yes he does. Now, tell me, do you know where that BOY keeps his journal?" Gideon asked nicely.
"What are you talking about? What journal? Does he keep a journal of his thoughts?" Wendy asked curiously.
"STOP MESSING AROUND, YOU KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT GIRL! NOW GIVE ME THAT JOURNAL !"Gideon replied sternly.
As, they were speaking Dipper ran in. "What's going on here? Wendy are you okay?" Dipper asked frantically.
"I'm fine Dip, Gideon keeps asking me for your journal, what is he talking about?" Wendy wanted to know.
"Uh-I –um don't really know what he is talking about, he is a crazed lunatic, don't you know that? I had a feeling he was here, so we hurried back to save you Wendy." Dipper said with a smile on his face.
"Oh, Dipper, why don't you just tell Wendy why we are really here, you lo..." Mabel started to say.
"Be quiet Mabel, that is not why we are here, that is for another time. This is serious, Gideon wants to know something and we need to find out." Dipper said.
"Gideon, get out of here, you are not welcome, you and Bud better go before I call sheriff Blubbs!" Stan shouted.
"I'll be back and next time I won't be so nice!" Gideon rolled his eyes and left. So they thought.
