Chapter 01: Life Of A Video Game?
LOCATION: THE MYSTERY SHACK
The scene opens to a mysterious place that is known only…as Gravity Falls. The place of weird and strange things that happen in such an area that no one can really explain? There around a couple of tall trees was an area, the address; 618, Gopher Road, Gravity Falls, Oregon, U.S.A. And there was something like a tourist trap, a bizarre museum that was a shack, called; The Mystery Shack. It has no less than four exits, the main entrance, the porch entrance, a small door which leads directly to the floor room, and the gift shop door. There's also a cellar door under the gift shop window. One side of the sloping roof has the Mystery Shack name, and the other has a small platform with a cooler that a certain teen often hangs out on. The roof with the "GIFT" sign also has a weather vane that has the letters W, H, A, T and a question mark instead of the usual N, W, E, S. The place has at least three floors, first floor has a museum, Gift Shop, Living Room, Staircase entryway, Kitchen, Hallway, Bathroom, Break Room, Storage Room, Parlor, Floor Room, Secret Hidden Room. Then there's the Attic Floor, a bedroom for two children to live, and the owner's own bedroom. Some unknown locations with the owner's office, Boiler Room, and a Secret Underground Laboratory, which that last part is so secret, we don't know much about it.
Now we enter the Gift Shop area, where we see four characters being active in doing another in the room.
The first was a 12-year old twin girl, her cheeks are round with blush pink spots, her hair is brown, and her eyes are brown and wears braces. She apparel varies for each time & place, more so than any other, with at least one new outfit usually consisting of a sweater, undershirt, skirt, headband, black shoes, white socks, and occasionally earrings, though she does deviate from the look occasionally. Her signature outfit is a pink sweater with a rainbow shooting star going in the left direction on it, a matching pink headband, and a purple skirt with black shoes and white socks. She is Mabel Pines, who's energetic, bouncy, and optimistic, she makes the best of every situation with a big goofy smile. Mabel is buoyant, cheerful, bouncy, energetic, and full of spirit. She is optimist who skips through life with a braces-filled smile and an assortment of extremely colorful knit sweaters. It is her outgoing personality and fearless curiosity that comes in handy when her brother needs help solving a mystery, even if she isn't always aware of her silliness. Despite her cheerful attitude and her ability to be able to look on the bright side, she can occasionally get her feelings hurt. Mabel abhors lying and is terrible liar herself, often blurting out whatever it is about which she is trying to lie. She lives in a world of preteen novels (mostly about vampires), and her fixation on finding her one true love occasionally lands her in sticky situations which ultimately require her brother's help. Still, despite all the weirdness in Gravity Falls, Mabel is always a "glass half full" kind of girl. She is rarely angry or upset, and generally keeps a positive outlook. She is somewhat naive at times, and Mabel is aware of and cherishes her cuteness.
The second was a 12-year old twin brother who is slightly younger (by 5 minutes), wears a trademark blue and white hat with a blue brim and blue pine tree on the front. He has somewhat messy brown hair and relatively pale skin. His eyes are brown, like his sister's, with noticeable bags underneath. He wears a navy blue vest, red/orange shirt, gray shorts, white socks, black sneakers, and a sometimes visible wristwatch. He sometimes seen with a green backpack. He has a birthmark on his forehead shaped like the Big Dipper, which he hides under his bangs. He is one millimeter shorter then Mabel. He is Dipper Pines, hence his nickname from the Big Dipper birthmark etc., he is a curious, clever and inventive boy that with his sister Mabel, endeavors to uncover the secrets of the mysterious town of Gravity Falls over the summer. The boy is smart, wise, gentle, conventional, and very logical, and Dipper can't wait to leave adolescence in the rear-view mirror. Born adventurer at heart, Dipper can't sit still and is always looking for the next riddle to solve. His scrupulous attention to detail comes in handy when he is off fighting out the mystery of the day, but sometimes his over-zealousness leaves others questioning his credibility. He is very wise beyond his years, and his refusal to sit still when there are puzzles to be solved often leaves him restless in everyday situations. He has a habit of clicking his pen repeatedly when in deep thought. He also seems to get very irritated when people think he's cute or adorable, as he wants to project a more grown-up and mature appearance to strangers. He is not, however, above acting like Mabel under some circumstances. He first arrives in Gravity Falls upset with going to a small, boring town, with his twin sister Mabel for the summer, but because of interest in mysteries and lust for adventure he starts to adjust to life in town and tries to solve mysteries, with his twin sister coming along for the journey. He is somewhat protective of his sister, whenever she is in danger he is always there to help and will do anything to get her free. He can sometimes be selfish, and is not above using Gravity Fall's mysterious elements to his advantage, but ultimately always does the right thing.
The third person was placing something on a high shelf, he was seen as a lovable and friendly man-child, who wears a brown cap, has light peach fair skin and buck teeth, similar to those of a beaver. He's stocky, and wears dark brown shoes, beige shorts and a jade green shirt with a big dark green question mark on the front and the word "Staff" on the back, which is most likely from the Mystery Shack. He also has a double chin and appears as if he hasn't shaven recently. He has short light brown hair that is styled similar to the owner's is. His neck is wider than his head, or so it appears. His neck appears to be obscured by his double chin, and he is also quite chubby. His name, is Soos (which almost sounds like Zeus, but with a different noun), as he is a portly, friendly, and lovable employee whose desire to be where the action is makes him an excellent resource for the twins; Dipper & Mabel when they need a ride about town. Aside from the twins, he is one of the only people around who sees and believes all the strange things happening in Gravity Falls, such as when he says he always notices weird stuff in Gravity Falls, an assertion he makes whenever the chance. While he may frequently shows an eager, inquisitive, and childish nature; Soos knows when to drop the act and be an adult such as when he, Mabel and Dipper encountered a terrifying creature, where he carried both of them and outran a large monster after them. He has good relationship with Dipper & Mabel, though Dipper can be irrupted by him at times. He is also very humorous, like he is addicted to pressing the cackling skulls at the Summerween Superstore and believes that the inflatable ducks from the pool can talk. This stuff proves he's very childish and naive.
The forth person by the register was about 15 year old high school girl with a part-time job at the Mystery Shack with a very laid-back attitude. At the current age of fifteen, she is a very tall and skinny high school student. She has green eyes, a fair complexion, and freckles. She has long red hair and is usually seen wearing a tan and dark brown lumberjack. Her standard outfit is a jade plaid shirt with a white tank top underneath, blue jeans and muddy rain boots. She also wears gray/blue earrings, and is occasionally seen with a name tag entitled "Wendy". And that is her name, Wendy Corduroy, she is a mellow, down-to-earth, fun-loving and slightly lethargic teen who is a part-time worker at the Mystery Shack. She generally takes a positive outlook, is almost always friendly, and is rarely seen being moody or cranky. She is just like any other ordinary teenager who wants to be an adult. Wendy has been in numerous relationships with boys such as Rus Thorum, Eli Hall, Stoney Davidson, Mike Hurley, Nate Holt, an unnamed guy with tattoos, Danny Pelman, and Mark Epstein (whom she forgot to break up with) and as of presently, a guy named Robbie. She seems to be friendly and generous to Dipper even though he is younger than she is. Dipper & Mabel enjoy hanging out with Wendy until her rambunctious teenage friends show up.
As of now, the twins were putting away some box stuff to set around the room, the teen girl was sitting around bored by the register and the chubby big guy fell off his balance after setting a jar on a high shelf, but was alright none the least.
"Okay dudes, I think I finally finished setting up this creepy pickle jar…full of weird eye pickles?" Soos issued off to those in the room of what he's managed to do at this point of his task, putting the weird jar of eyeballs up.
"Soos, you do know that those might be golf balls painted to look like eyeballs, right?" Dipper asked a bit dryly skeptical in seeing Soos not see pass the fakeness of those not being actual eyeballs.
"Well, who knows, for all we know, that duster over there…might be a turkey wearing a disguise?" Soos shrug off his shoulders in stating a little fact of what to consider, even looking at a duster that could be the bottom of a turkey's feathers.
"A turkey, I wanna pet it!" Mabel spoke off excited, as she went over to check the duster, seeing if it was a real turkey while being clueless of the object not being a bird in disguise.
"Hugh, yet another dull day at the Mystery Shack?" Wendy signed in feeling a bit bored to rest her head on her hand, feeling bored out of her mind here.
"What're you talking about Wendy?" Dipper turn to Wendy in hearing what she said sounded crazy, this place isn't boring…mostly? "I mean….sure, we haven't gotten any customers lately, but business will be blooming again?" Dipper chuckled off in making a little statement, though sheepish, was still sure that afterwards, the Mystery Shack will be busy with paying customers.
"Yeah Dipper I know, but….there's just not enough excitement in the air?" Wendy looked to Dipper with a half-hearted smile in appreciating the effort, but she feels this place just isn't thrilling enough to entertain them.
"Well what's not exciting around here?" Dipper shrug off his shoulders in being confused, Gravity Falls has lots of exciting stuff, question is…when anything happens when you like it to or not?
"Yeah, there's plenty of things exciting happening around us?" Soos spoke off in happily agreeing with Dipper before deciding to help list out the choices. "Like there was a Taco Truck that pulled by & get this….when you order & eat your tacos, you get to watch snails race. I mean, how crazy exciting is that? Then there's a guy who makes wobble lullabies while he leans on wooden boards while sawing them. I never seen a person do that? Oh, & my most to do to see list, dgoing to the zoo where they have lemurs that Shake Their Booty. Crazy, right? Plus there's…" The guy would have gone on and on, if he wasn't cut off about now.
"Guys, I mean some REAL excitement! Something to get us really pump to really live a little!" Wendy pumped off her left fist in a hook swing in wanting something to make the girl be a go-getter at the moment.
"Gee, I always picture each day as more of it being alive as the next. Isn't that right Waddles?" Mabel tapped her chin in thought over this subject of what she believed before looking to a corner area. There was a light pink pig with a light brown/tan dot on his left eye, with light brown/tan spots on his back on the left side. His snout is light pink, he has a black curly tail, his hooves are brown/black, and he has a rather plump face. His name is Waddles, pet pig Mabel won at the Mystery Fair by guessing his correct weight, 15 pounds. And his favorite food to eat is caramel apples.
"Oink-Oink!" Waddles called out from rolling around in some newspapers that had 'Charity' work labels on them. Why they were there on the floor for the pig to mess around in, is anybody's guess?
"Wendy, Gravity Falls, is by far….the most unexpected place filled with excitement." Dipper turned his attention towards Wendy for believing nothing really great happens around here was so untrue. "Why, there's practically a lot of strange creatures around here that make the dull days go away, right? Hugh…hugh…?" The boy was awaiting for the teen girl to respond in hearing this, but he was left hanging a bit.
"Yeah I guess so, but still…" Wendy spoke from feeling a little unsure about that topic being okay. "The town's been pretty much quieter without Lil' Gideon making things harder for your uncle to keep on his toes?" The teen recalled what use to help keep this place competitive with an arch-rival group of the Mystery Shack from an adversary of Stan Pines.
"Yeah, the moment where we exposed his evil and got him sent to jail! And a good place to give him the new meaning of time out." Mabel declared off with a cute, but strict expression in giving that old foe of theirs a one for.
"Right, now Mister Pines has more folks paying attention to his place with Lil' Gideon's Tent Of Telepathy." Soos spoke off with a jolly attitude that without Lil' Gideon around, all tourist attractions will come to their place & using what was the evil child's tent to help in such-n-such. "Or is it because it's the only place, and some folks have a hard time trusting the guy?" The chubby guy rubbed his chin in second guessing that since there was no competition & that most folks may know Stan Pines is a hard character to trust.
"Hugh, okay…okay, I admit, Grunkle Stan has been scheming something? Lord knows what it is, but it should to help fix our problem? Right…right…?" Dipper signed in seeing everyone was getting high-strong about their situation, but his uncle must have been doing something to help them out of the business vendetta, right…?
"You bet your un-growned beard I got something!" A voice came out from behind the entry to the Gift Shop that was of a man. The guy had brown eyes with cataracts, gray eyebrows, and gray hair, that is almost always covered by his trademark maroon fez, which bears a yellow crescent shape and later a similar figure, albeit with straight edges, with a dot next to it. He bears a somewhat large, droopy, pear-shaped, reddish-pinkish nose, large ears, and fair skin. He has wrinkly skin and dentures as a result of his age, a slouched posture, and a dull indigo tattoo of a mirrored compass on his back. He usually wears a pair of rectangular glasses with a black rim. He has a perpetual five o'clock shadow covering his lower face. His typical outfit is a black suit, with a jacket buttoned closed, a bow tie similar in color to his fez, and a white dress shirt. He also wears big, light brown shoes and the aforementioned fez and glasses. He frequently carries an eight ball cane with him and often wears an unnecessary eye-patch over one of his eyes while working. He was Stanford Pines, or shorter note, Stan Pines, but he's also better known as Grunkle Stan, who is Mabel & Dipper's sly, greedy, cranky great uncle. He also runs the Mystery Shack, a tourist trap full of questionable "oddities". Grunkle Stan is a gruff, selfish, cynical, and greedy salesman who has managed to set up his tourist trap in a town with enough unsuspecting customers to sell worthless scamming knickknacks to. His flair for showmanship is oddly hypnotizing, and thus he is able to make money by peddling the bogus trinkets and baubles in his store. His work ethic is mainly driven by his desire to make money, so when he's not generating an income, he's usually at home watching television. Stan is also a lot more intelligent than he appears, as he's shown on multiple occasions, such as constantly outwitting Little Gideon. Even though he sends the twins on unpredictable and outrageous errands, he always has their best interests at heart and loves them unconditionally. He prefers to say "How is it handgun'" 'than the usual 'Sup'. Stan sees his tourist as a way to make a quick buck and nothing more. His business tends to draw in a more oblivious crowd, whom he easily fools with his entirely fake exhibits. He is a popular con artist, yet the tourist don't see it. Also, when he isn't busy trying to make a quick buck from his unsuspecting customers, Grunkle Stan is guarding his own secret that might hold the key to unlocking the mystery of Gravity Falls.
"Hey mister Pine! How are ya!" Soos waved off in saying hello to his boss of the Mystery Shack.
"Good Soos, and I've prepared something to bring in the MOTHERLOAD, of business making." Stan responded feeling extra happy at the moment, cause he's got a new scam to bring up a lot of cash.
"Grunkle Stan, what are you talking about?" Dipper asked a bit awkward that his great uncle had something that seem to be on his concerning mind.
"The future Dipper! I've searched online, through magazines, and success ratings on the news. Which mostly I went into other places to use without permission to know all this stuff." Grunkle Stan spoke off in answering the question, while even admitting he gotten all those things done without spending any of his own cash.
"So, what's the big news then?" Wendy waved off her right hand to ask what her boss was gonna say of some big news.
"Oh-oh! Let me guess! Let me guess!" Mabel waved up her arms to ask that she try to guess what her great uncle had thought up like a game. "Are we….going to put a riding pony ring?" Mabel suggested off in gripping her hands in wondering of such an idea.
"Ehh….no?" Stan slowly thought it over puzzled before giving a straight dry 'no' response.
"Are we….gonna put up a GIANT net filled with many wonderful butterflies!" Mabel thought it over to suggest another girly idea they can do.
"No?" Stan responded quicker this time with another dry tone in his voice.
"How's about the World's Mix Goggly Eye Fish Breed?" Soos spoke off a very random idea of what they can do to attract customers.
"Nah-augh?" Stan shook his head 'no' for that thought Soos thought of.
"Then what about a Drive-In Tour of the forest filled with other oddities?" Soos responded off with another idea they can use instead that be perfect to gain attention.
"Not even close?" Stan remarked off that such a thing was not even close to what he's got in mind.
"Are you gonna try showing a kinder side to show that we're a family friendly business?" Mabel asked off with an adorable little expression in what her uncle was gonna do for the shack.
"What do you take me for, a sap?" Grunkle Stan protest out to complain, that was no way something he ever, EVER do, it's like throwing away money.
"Grunkle Stan, why not just spit it out so we can get what's going on?" Dipper rolled his eyes to blankly request that Stan tell them what the big news was even about.
"Fine, fine…yesh, I try to bring up some excitement, and all I get in return, are crazy guessers and an impatient remark?" Grunkle Stan groans to give in that everyone is unable to truly picture his genius, oh well, may as well get on with it & tell. "But never the less, I'm adding something to the Mystery Shack for when customers come, it'll attract even those that aren't interested in our display of oddities." The old guy issued in smiling that what he's got, will revolutionize everything for their business.
"Would that be a lunch gallery where folks can pay you to prepare them meals?" Wendy spoke off with a rolled eye and sarcastic tone about what Stan could plan.
"Well that was one thought, but I have to find myself a cook first?" Grunkle Stan spoke off in response to that suggestion of almost trying that, but needed someone to cook the meals. "I tried asking Old Man McGucket, but that guy might scare off the customers?" He shrug off his shoulders from saying he would have gotten an old kook to do the task, but…that might be a bad idea.
"Because he's a cocky old guy that lives in the dump?" Mabel pointed off to issue a fact about Old Man McGucket, self proclaimed 'local kook' that's the elderly resident of Gravity Falls.
"Cause of his weird personality, even if he's a part time inventor?" Dipper also pointed out another fact about the McGucket that they have hard times dealing with him on different levels.
"Actually, I was thinking about the weird stuff he makes?" Grunkle Stan dryly stated a claim of why he can't hire McGucket in the first place besides the twins' guesses.
"Maybe I can cook for your customers of food gallery service, Mister Pine." Soos held up his left hand with a big smile in suggesting, he can cook and be the chef.
"Nice try Soos, but by then, I have to pay you even more then I would've done to con a sucker with cheaper standards?" Stan dryly rejected Soos of being the cooker, since he have to pay the guy, and he's kinda a cheapskate. "But I digest in sidetracking my main point of statement." He issued in having delay himself from what he's actually trying to do here. "What I plan to add to the Mystery Shack shall be….a Game Center!" The old guy issued in announcing what he'll add to the Mystery Shack.
"Woah! Really?" Mabel perk her cheeks for joy in hearing this now.
"Alright!" Wendy pump her fist up with a smile in liking this idea.
"Dude, that would be awesome!" Soos grip his hands to his chest in feeling so excited about this now.
"Wow Grunkle Stan, that's…actually a fun idea? How'd you come across it?" Dipper smiled in hearing this and was amazed by his uncle coming up with such a nice idea for entertainment, but the question remain: why?
"Easy kid, as I mentioned before, I stumbled upon it." Grunkle Stan issued off to answer Dipper's question with his own reasonings. "When families are distracted in areas of gift-shops, restaurants, the different works in America? Usually their kids or teens always sidetrack their minds to something else? Which is why, to make quicker bucks, those that wanna play some games will pay up some dough, and play away until they wanna continue or have do-overs." The salesman explained his con-thought up plan to easily get any tourist to have their kids play some games and give him some money, it's genius.
"Yeah! We get to have fun while being here!" Mabel waved up her arms to happily cheer for the idea.
"Mabel we've been here longer then Stan's customers?" Dipper pointed off the fact that his overly excited sister forgot.
"Yeah, but still, hooray, we'll play games!" Mabel responded off before going back to being all cheery again.
"This is great, a chance to take my mind off by slacking off to play some games?" Wendy smiled with excitement in seeing something a little more worth wide appear. "Hugh, I can invite my friends to hang out and use the room, right?" The teen girl wanted to know if her boss let her and those that are her teen friends use such a room where they can hang and play some games in the Game Center.
"As long as they pay up, it's fine by me." Stan dryly expressed the issue with a cocky smile of those to pay up, then they get in to have fun.
"So how many games are we gonna install in this game room, mister Pines?" Soos asked his boss in how many games they plan to put in the new Game Center for the Mystery Shack?
"Well Soos, that I plan to leave a surprise when I have you, help me, bring in the first new game to install." Stan issued off to simply put the answer in a different matter of speaking.
"Yes sir! I will not let you down!" Soos saluted to his boss in hearing and clearly obeying like a dog would, in a goofy sense of the way.
"Right, right, just keep telling yourself that?" Stan dryly responded to roll his eyes in hearing Soos claims while the guy was a regular sucker for manual labor work.
As Stan was leaving with Soos to help set things up for what plans for some new game addition, Wendy was left with the Pine Twins.
"Oh boy guys, finally, something exciting is gonna happen!" Wendy was really feeling excited in what's coming their way now.
"Yeah, I guess so? Hugh, who have thought Grunkle Stan would setup some Game Center in the shack?" Dipper waved off his hands in the air, making a cheeky smile in seeing what his uncle is doing will be nice to have around this place.
"I can't wait to know what he's got plan, maybe it'll have a dance revolution game where my friends & I can dance till we pass out!" Mabel spoke off in imaging what to see that can be a game that they'll all wanna see and play, and have any of their friends come join them.
"Ugh Mabel, you dance plenty even when nothing is going on?" Dipper issued off to remind his sister that she already does plenty of dancing on her own.
"True, but me and Waddles always work on that routine together, don't we boy?" Mabel spoke off to say before turning to her pet pig for a response.
"Oink-Oink!" Waddles spoke off from coming near Mabel to give his simple answer, cause he's just a simple pig.
"Well come on you two, I wanna see this moment happen right now!" Wendy issued with an uncontrollable urge to hurry now and see what new games they are setting up.
"But if we all go, who'll run the register?" Dipper asked off puzzled by that Wendy runs the register, and if customers come in, who will ring up the stuff they wanna buy?
"No worries Dipper, nobody's coming around anyway? Just relax." Wendy spoke off with a cool tone in feeling sure that nobody is gonna come when they have no busy business hours at this time of the day.
"Yah bro., live a little!" Mabel jab her brother in the gut to have him relax and chill out.
"Well…alright?" Dipper slowly responded from recovering fro that jab to admit, he'll cooperate.
"Super! Come on Wendy, me and Waddles will race yah to the end outside where the new games must be!" Mabel cheered before looking to the tall teen girl in challenging her to see who can run faster to see the first new game they are getting.
"Oh, it's on Mabel, it's on!" Wendy spoke in looking pretty competitive in accepting that challenge.
"Oink-Oink!" Soon Waddles chases after the two girls that ran ahead out the door while leaving Dipper behind.
"Hey guys! Wait for me!" Dipper called out to wave for Wendy & Mabel to wait for him, as he starts to run after the fast girls having their little running activity.
MYSTERY SHACK BASEMENT AREA
BOILER ROOM/GAME CENTER
At this moment, the scene changes to a strange basement area where Stan & Soos finally managed to bring something under the covers for a presentation with Wendy & the Pine Twins present.
"Okay kids, here we are!" Stan showed this to his niece and nephew, that what's under this sheet, is the miracle of his genius to be set up in their 'new' Game Center.
"So wait, this is the 'New' area you wanna make into a Game Center?" Wendy questioned off in feeling this was kinda the unexpected twist, but then what isn't with Stan Pines.
"Um Grunkle Stan, this is the Boiler Room?" Dipper pointed out puzzled that this was just the basement floor where they have their boiler run.
"Eh, I'm saving on construction of additions? Besides, this place has a few things to make it into a Game Center while still maintaining the Boiler Room part." Stan shrug off his shoulders in not bothering to care about the details, but to only focus on the bigger picture of it all.
"Yah, like we have a mattress for realizing when folks get together, television, plus a game system, we got a dartboard, a basketball hoop over the trashcan, got that pinball machine over there." Soos pointed out with a smile in all the other things they got around this Boiler Room that was good for folks to wanna kick-back, relax, lounge around while having some fun.
"Hmmm….something about that game makes me relive a deja vu moment?" Mabel rubbed her chin when looking at the strangely cowboy theme pinball game.
"Probably cause it's called; Tumbleweed Terror, and Soos once mentioned this as a story when we fell in what was supposedly a bottomless pit?" Dipper pointed out what the pinball machine was and recall something from a precious time of their adventure.
"Did we really even live through it?" Mabel rubbed her noggin in being unsure if that was a moment in their lives they truly experienced or not?
"Hugh, after many other crazy adventures, I'm not sure myself?" Dipper rubbed his back head in feeling lost for thought himself if that event did happen or not.
"Dude, even I'm not sure if my story was an actual event in my life, or if I made it up?" Soos responded totally clueless if that story he told was even real or he made it all up, he forgets.
"Okay guys, just chill out now." Wendy held up her hands to have these guys just settle out from over-thinking things a bit. "So Stan, where's the big unveiling of the new games?" The girl asked off in wanting to see the new games since so far, one looked be hidden under a sheet?
"Right…here!" Grunkle Stan issued under the cover, as he soon grabs the sheet and then…. "Tada!" The guy proclaimed off while removing the sheet, to reveal what was underneath.
Before everyone was something like a large arcade game box where there were four sitting arrangements, a wheel and some button & control sticks below a large screen display. From the outside showed much greenery with a mix of flames, tire wheels, robots and some fighting opponents in suits or savage appearance. The thing looked like it was a mobile van for racing work, but the design was very fetching for those that like to live life on the open road. The name of the game was listed across the side, called "City Of Motors", and the name fits the bill. This was the arcade game that Grunkle Stan was talking about, and what a marvel it was.
"Ohhh….aaawweee….?" The four members of the Mystery Shack were 'oh' & 'awe' at this very unique game before them, it was unlike anything they ever seen.
"Grunkle Stan, what is this?" Mabel asked her uncle in what kinda game this was?
"This Mabel, is a game of the future, were thrills, excitement & fun are merged together!" Stan proclaimed to his niece in what kinda game this was that will be a big hit, and make him richer, then before.
"So, how many more are there?" Soos asked off with a happy smile to his boss about what other games they have besides this one.
"How many more 'what' now?" Stan repeated that question with a puzzled expression, like he wasn't catching the conversation at all.
"Of the games we're putting in?" Wendy dryly narrow her eyes to Mr. Pines here about having more then just one video game in this room.
"Well that's the surprise itself, it's this marvel right here! The one, and ONLY Video Game of it's time not found anywhere else." Stan proudly issued the fact that this one particular game, is gonna be the only thing here for folks to try out and because it's the only type ever made.
"Wait, you expect to win lots of customers with only ONE game that no one else produce a number of?" Dipper stop this conversation to ask his uncle a question about finding this kinda suspicious. "Grunkle Stan, how'd you and Soos managed to get this thing down in the Boiler Room?" The kid wanted to know that for starters, how Stan & Soos even brought such a large video arcade game down to this basement floor to begin with.
"Game Center!" Mabel corrected her brother in what the Boiler Room is gonna be called now.
"Right, that?" Dipper rolled his eyes to his sister's comment about what this place would be dubbed.
"Simple, I had this thing as an easily assemble kit while having Soos connect it while under the sheet." Stan smiled to explain how he managed to bring this large center piece below by an assembly work and had Soos do all the work.
"Yep, I'm pretty good at putting stuff together, even when it's dark." Soos nods with a smile in agreeing to that, he has a natural talent for something like that.
"And for why this game is so special, is simple in itself." Grunkle Stan proclaimed in about to make a statement of why they only need one video arcade game is clear as day. "This game has everything kids & teenagers want. Racing, Shooting, Fighting, a couple of Adventures of Action, Horrors, and Drama effects like you're almost there." The guy was in the zone, making good points about the stuff that kids these days love to find & play in any game. "I happen to get this beauty off of some guy selling it for a low-low price, mentioned off some strange effect it has. And since it's the only one of it's kind, it makes it a rare oddity for tourist to see, and I knew with a little tinkering, this thing can make us rich." Grunkle Stan explained the history of how he came across this game in the first place and while skipping anything 'important', became the proud owner of this object in question.
"Well, it maybe one game, but it still sounds fun to me?" Wendy smile to shrug off that even if this is just one game to play around with, it sounds pretty fun to her to try out.
"Yeah, and it sounds just as more exciting then that creepy pinball game I've been doing for four years?" Soos responded off in thinking this new game could be better then the old one he's been playing for so long. "Or have I played it at all?" He rubbed his chin to question this in puzzlement, not knowing if he's done something like that or not?
"Whoopee! This game sounds like it'll change our lives!" Mabel pump up her arms in declaring this a grand moment in their lives.
"Yeah, change our lives? But to either good, or bad…?" Dipper asked off in finding that anything could happen in Gravity Falls, it could be good or could be a disaster waiting to happen?
"Dude, not to rain down on yah, but this game looks too 'awesome' to be something scary?" Soos shrug off his shoulders in having Dipper chill-out, this new game looked too sweet to be anything dangerous, right?
"Well, maybe I should check to see for myself…?" Dipper spoke while bringing out a weird cryptic journal, main color of burgundy and has various rips and tears on the cover due to age, it has two gold lines on its spine and all four of it's corners are gild. In the middle of the book there is a gold hand with six fingers and the number 3 in the middle. On the back, it shows various alchemist symbols. Just inside the front cover, the book has an eyepiece (possibly a monocle) attached to the journal via a cord. Its purpose is unknown and it has been used by Dipper as a book mark. This book contains information about the supernatural elements of Gravity Falls, mainly creatures like the gnomes. Its author is unknown. This journal is apart of a series of three which Stan Pines now owns both 2 & 1, and now 3 has been used by Dipper in many cases to understand the supernatural. But just as Dipper was getting down to figuring out what this new game would be, something snatched the book away from him. "What, Grunkle Stan?" The boy yelped when the journal went out of his hands, to the hands of his tall uncle.
"Easy Dipper, you're over-thinking things from this silly journal?" Grunkle Stan responded off to his nephew about being overly worried over nothing, as he looked at his watch to see the time. "Wooh, look at the time, Soos, Wendy, come on! We gotta start putting up our new advertisement for the Game Center." The old man got serious, the sooner folks learn what he's got, the likely it'll attract lots of customers.
"You got it sir! I'll make the flyers." Soos looked determine to salute in hearing those orders.
"I'll get my pals to help spread the word." Wendy pointed to herself in stating what she'll do to spread the word.
"Do I have to pay them?" Stan asked dryly if he's gotta pay Wendy's pals to pass out flyers for folks to know what he's got.
"Nope, just let us have first dibs on the new game." Wendy smirk off to issue what she'll ask for return, a chance to try out the new game here.
"DEAL! Missy, you drive a 'Hard' bargain." Stan shook the teen girl's hand in seeing that's a bargain he can live with.
"To the copy machine!" Soos held up his left hand to point out in declaring where they should go to now.
"Hey wait, wait! Guys!" Dipper tried to stop the others from leaving the room to go upstairs. "Grunkle Stan, you still have the journal!" The boy called out about the journal his uncle took off his hands.
"Relax Dipper, Grunkle Stan gave it back to you before, he'll easily give it back after a little while." Mabel patted her brother's shoulder to have him relax from worrying over not having the journal with him.
"Yeah I guess, but still…." Dipper spoke off in knowing this answer, but still had a hard time to deal with it.
"Still what, what's wrong with us having a cool new game to play together?" Mabel asked off in not getting why her brother was feeling something was off?
"It's what Grunkle Stan said about how he got this thing and said something about a strange effect?" Dipper explained that why no one else heard about it, if this game is doing something unusual, they need to be watchful about it. "And last time Grunkle Stan got something for a low bargain deal, living wax-figures almost tried to destroy us?" The boy reminded his sister of an incident of where they fought evil wax-figures of different character beings.
"Ahh, that was last time, this time is different!" Mabel waved off in not feeling the least bit worried or concern since that's in the past. "Now come on, first one upstairs gets the last pudding cup! Weee!" She spoke off with a smile before making a cherry call out to be going off now.
"Hay wait, that pudding cup in the fridge is mine, it has MY 'name' on it for later!" Dipper held up his hand to stop his sister in protesting the right of that pudding was his.
"Not if you don't pick up the paste, slow poke!" Mabel responded off near the stairs before rushing up.
"Mabel, wait!" Dipper called out to run after his sister giving him a chase of protecting what is his.
As the Pine Twins leave, no one notices the game was starting to flash itself differently from when it got plugged in. Something strange may occur, but what?
LATER IN THE DAY…
Later on, we see in the made Game Center, some of Wendy's friends were with her, playing the City Of Motors.
One was a teen guy, he is tall, and unlike many characters, he has a long ovular head, long blonde hair, and a red shirt with a thumbs up on it. He has pale skin, and a somewhat large chin, due to the fact that there is a great area between his mouth and the bottom of his face. He has a long nose. His name is Lee, who is basically a stereotypical teenager. He enjoys hanging out and goofing off with friends, particularly Nate, doing things like playing games, partaking in dares, and partying. He is sarcastic and likes to tease people, and he dislikes it when others try to stop him from what he views as having fun, often disregarding their warnings. He can be disrespectful of others and their property, and he is frightened in any event of being trapped. He's one of Wendy's friends, and is best friends with a guy name Nate.
The second one was teen guy, who has dark skin, brown hair, a stubble, and a dark aqua green and white cap. He wears a black shirt, with a skull on it and blue jeans. He has many tattoos on his arms and wears earrings. His name is Nate, and he is a stereotypical carefree, laid-back teenager. He can be sarcastic, and loves partying as well as doing stupid, crazy things with his friends. He is another of Wendy's friends, and is Lee's best friend, and is usually seen with him.
The third one was a teen girl, who has light brown skin and short purple hair with a pink highlight in the front. She wears a purple and white shirt with a purple skirt, light purple leggings, and black boots, along with two black earrings. She also carries around a black flip cell phone that takes up most of her time. Her name is Tambry, and she is seen at time carrying a black handbag. Tambry is in many ways a very stereotypical teenager. She enjoys texting and using social networking sites even more then other teens, and barely looks up from her cell phone. Tambry is one of Wendy's friends, she rarely looks up from her phone, either texting or updating her status.
The fourth & last one was a teen guy, who is a heavyset with light skin and brown hair and mustache stubble. He wears a light green shirt with a small bunny icon on the right of his shirt, and he has brown shorts, white socks, a black and gold watch, and brown and gray shoes. His name is Thompson, he is a typical unsure teenager. Desperate to fit in with his friends, he allows them to subject him to a series of humiliating stunts or dares without protest. Despite this, he is fun-loving and friendly. He enjoys playing video games, dancing, and hanging out with his friends. He is one of Wendy's friends, he's usually seen participating in the games the guys play, such like when they put ice down his pants and trying to get a jellybean in his belly button, but that was during an old abandon convenience store called the Dusk 2 Dawn, where it was haunted by the ghost of a pass away couple. But that's an older story from the past adventure in Gravity Falls.
As of right now, Wendy was racing the boys while the other girl was leaning against the game to send out a text.
"Go left, left! No your other left? Now go right, right!" Wendy's voice was heard off telling her pals what way to drive through the game.
"Dude, I'm bustin' a bot!" Lee issued off in smiling at what he's managed to just take down.
"No way, I'm kicking' evil rat-butt!" Nate issued off with a smile to in what he's dealing with, a rat.
"Augh guys, I'm still stuck watching a groovy guy out-style me?" Thompson spoke with concerns in what area he's stuck in.
"Come on Thompson, get your game on!" Wendy issued to her friend to quit holding back and let loose.
"Thompson! Thompson!" The other teens chatted to cheer the tubby one's name.
"Okay, here goes?" Thompson suddenly got serious and ready himself to give this game his all now.
There was plenty of laughs, the teens were really rocking out with this new game that Grunkle Stan managed to get, it was the most awesomest game they ever played.
It was around now that Dipper, Mabel, and Soos came down to check up on how Wendy's gang was doing. Soos has been going back and forth to bring snacks for the teens while secretly eating some himself.
"Hey Wendy!" Dipper happily waved out to the teenage girl playing with her teen friends.
"Hey Dipper, great, you guys made it!" Wendy responded in a happy mood to seeing her Mystery Shack pals are here. "Me and my buds just finished an awesome round!" The girl explained about what they've done about now in finishing some parts of the racing battle game, just as she steps out.
"Would have gone further if those mutant plants weren't trying to like…suck my brains out?" Nate stated from popping out of the machine to make an excuse.
"Like we even need that when just being reckless is what it's all about!" Lee popped near Nate to make a wise-crack joke to pat his best friend on the back.
"I felt like I was stuck on a level forever, everyone else was so far ahead of me?" Thompson stated when he popped around the other side of the game entry spot for sitting.
"Whatever…" Tambry dryly responded to lift her eyes from her text phone to make such a claim before focusing on texting again.
"Wow, this game Grunkle Stan got must be the coolest game in the 'whole' UNIVERSE!" Mabel smiled widely in announcing how this City Of Motors Game must be pretty far out.
"Dudes, I feel like we should set ourselves in to try it out." Soos suggested what they should do now in preparing to try this baby out. "I've seen like the opening stuff, the demo-display, and I gotta say…it's on a whole new level I never would have guess?" The tubby one issued how he's seen most parts for the game, and it's wickedly awesome so far, and those are just preview demos.
"So you guys wanna see it for yourselves, I can help show you the ropes." Wendy pointed out in feeling confident in showing her friends here how to play the game.
"Um…well….ah-haha, gulp….Alright, I guess I'm game?" Dipper chuckled a bit sheepishly around Wendy before deciding to go along to be apart of this to show the girl he's got game.
"But I thought you were still suspicious about this game, Dipper?" Mabel raised her eyebrows in recalling what her brother issued before about this game being strange to him.
"Well I would have looked it through the journal, but Grunkle Stan still has it and I can't seem to find him anywhere?" Dipper stated with a frown that he almost would see if this game was something to fear, but his great uncle hasn't return the journal number 3 to him yet, plus, Grunkle Stan seems to have gone off somewhere?
"Relax bro, if something was bad about this game, then how come Wendy and her friends aren't like…zombified or something silly?" Mabel spoke to assure her brother with her positive personality that so far, nothing seemed bad, or anything freaky they should be worried about, right?
"Well I suppose so, but I just can't shake the feeling?" Dipper rubbed his left shoulder in feeling some unsure feeling about this for some reason?
"Come on you two, join the party." Wendy waved to the Pine Twins to come join the fun they can have with this game.
"Yes!" Mabel pump up her arms in responding to that request.
"Dudes, I'm so in!" Soos spoke off in feeling raring to join where the action is.
"See ya Wendy!" Lee spoke off to give a little wave motion to the teenage girl that he was leaving.
"Thanks for the game!" Nate spoke off in giving thanks to Wendy for letting them try out such an awesome game.
"We'll have to try it again sometime…hopefully where I'll not being mesmerized by that guy with the sparkly gold stuff on him?" Thompson spoke off to say while cautiously issuing how he got stuck somewhere in where a person with much 'bling' kept him from going anywhere.
"Sending note to all other teens….cool game in the Mystery Shack. Must try out." Tambry was speaking with her usual tone of attitude while texting on her phone to send it out.
Once Wendy's friends were leaving to go upstairs after having such fun, it was now the Pine Twins & Soos' turn to ride in the driver seat.
"Okay guys, this thing takes a quarter, so lets cash in, then take it out!" Wendy issued from sitting in the second middle spot for driving when they play.
"But isn't it stealing from Mister Pines after we spend our money?" Soos questioned off from thinking if they take the money they spent out, isn't that bad.
"Please, this is our game, so our money we spend for it, we get back." Wendy issued off real simple that they can get back their own money since this game is technically theirs.
"Hugh, I guess that makes some sense? So, I got my quarter!" Soos rubbed his chin in seeing the bigger picture now before taking out his own quarter now.
"Here's mine!" Mabel showed her own coin to use to play the game here.
"Okay, I got mine?" Dipper showed his own coin in wanting to be apart of this team of four players now.
"Good, then pick a seat, and slide that coin in to prepare for the magic of extreme thrill fun like never before!" Wendy nods before issuing what this group can do now, pick a seat to sit in and put the coin in before they even start to have some fun.
Soon the four takes seats, Dipper on the far left, Wendy next to him in the second seat, Mabel after the teen girl in the third and Soos on the far right edge. Once the game accepted the coins, an intro opening was beginning to play with awesome heavy metal rock music. And if that wasn't enough, there came a cool announcer from a rock concert, as it was speaking as a monolog narrator.
"In a world, where things are not always as they see…Here's my story." The young narrative voice explained out before something appeared on all the screens. "This is Detroit. Well, what 'was' Detroit?" A digital map shows a state label 'Detroit' with a green digital lining of a usual city structure of modern times; or was. "Until a person named Abraham Kane started building a new city on top of it. Detroit Deluxe." Soon a blue digital lining like a bridge was over the old city, showing some towering buildings with a red tower in the center, which above the city of the new called 'Detroit Deluxe' was build over the old Detroit area. "Kane promised everyone, the City of the Future." From closer viewing, we can see floating cube things & hovering buildings off the ground while the voice explained what this Kaine person did in promising the citizens…a city of the future.
"Ah, that's nice?" Mabel smiled in thinking this was a nice thing someone did for the people, giving them a future home.
"Shh, there's more." Wendy hushed the little girl from knowing there was more to this game then just this.
"But he never told them that it would cost them their freedom." The scene changed from the narration before showing what looked like Elite Soldiers with weapons while a face was seen from a holographic red screen of the one called Kaine.
"Wooh, that's sneaky, wonder if the guy studied Mister Pines methods of business handling or something?" Soos spoke off totally shock to hear this piece of news without warning.
"Ssssh, Soos, keep it down, would yah?" Dipper also joined the point of wanting the ones being too loud to not talk so much when they were watching this intro happen.
"Most of them don't even realize what they've lost?" The narrative voice exclaimed about the people above in Detroit Deluxe in not knowing the freedom that has been stripped from them. "But I do!" The voice of the narration issued about knowing what's going on here.
Then the scene changes to below, where there are wires sparking, and something is about to be said of where we are being taken.
"Down here in Motorcity, we got a motto." The narrative voice explained something, as the old Detroit became a place called Motorcity, having the usual style of a city. "Live Fast, Live Free!" The voice explained off the motto that the ones living below go by which seemed to involve being free, and about going fast, like with cars. "And my friends & I are gonna fight Kane with 'Everything' we've got!" As the voice narrated to explain, we pass the city level to further below it with more electric wires being seen. "To make sure we can do 'just' that." The voice issued that off just as the narration seemed to have ended.
The screen turn dark for a few moments before….a big bold letter work of metal showed up.
"CITY OF MOTORS!" A Sudden loud rocker singer is heard that made a big impact sound wave on the players in front. "Drive Free, Live Life By The Speed Of The Wind!" The voice was putting much effort in issuing this statement for those playing to know the rules.
And soon the scene on the screen changed to where there were roads and fast cars driving.
"Alright Players, it's time to burn rubber! Burner Style!" The heavy rocker voice issued to the four standing by with this message. "Face the Road! Face the Obstacles! Face your Enemies!" The announcer issued before the scene of what was seen was changing to…a new level of experience.
First up came a picture some weird looking bots, from all shapes and sizes, to them glowing red eyes.
"KaneBots!" The announcer voice issued the first batch of enemies for players to watch out for.
Second scene shows what appears to be some characters in hockey gear with mask, others in military militia, bumpkins, jumpsuit wearing females, and other whatnots?
"Fight Gangs!" The announcer proclaimed what elks the players will face along the passing.
Then the third one was of some jungle where there are weird plants to strange eco-friendly natives, question was…were they friendly?
"Combat The Terras!" The announcer issued about the players facing such foes.
Then a fourth scene showed off some fancy mansion with a man looking like some self-absorbed overlord.
"Face The Duke!" The announcer proclaimed to what other kinda character the gang will have to face.
Finally at the hour, then came the man said to be the principal antagonist that was seen as the evil billionaire owner.
"And Challenge Kane For FREEDOM!" The announcer issued off the big claim to where players face the worst of the worst.
Now an explosion happened that blew everyone's minds away while still keeping it together.
"Which Hero Are You? Are you…" The voice announcer issued a challenge of what kind of hero the player is?
Soon the image shows a green car before a person was seen on the screen side. This one had olive compulsion and dark brown hair while wearing a black jacket.
"Mike Chilton!" The announcer stated the name of the character, as underneath him was label Burner's Leader.
Then another shows a character from a blue car which he seems to slouch a lot, light skin, few freckles on his cheeks & a chin-length blonde hair that typically falls in front of his eyes.
"Chuck!" The announcer stated the name of the character, as underneath him was label Burner Programmer.
Next came a female with long red hair & red lips while driving a yellow car.
"Julie!" The announcer stated the name of the character, as underneath him was label Burner Scout.
Following after was a tall African American who wears his black hair in an afro style while driving a white car with speakers attached to it.
"Dutch!" The announcer stated the name of the character, as underneath him was label Burner's Technician.
Then came around to a black armor car who was muscular, who maybe a Filipino, and wears a race car driver's uniform that's black with red flames decorating the sleeves & patches.
"Texas!" The announcer stated the name of the character, as underneath him was label Burner's Muscle.
Once that was done, all the driver characters were seen in a gang gathering.
"You've seen them, and now…." The voice exclaimed before it pause for the dramatic effect, and…. "CHOSE YOUR DRIVER!" The loud heavy metal rocker voice yelled out with scorching flames around the screen before a set lineup of character avatars appeared before the gang; it was time to pick a choice.
"Oh dudes I'm so freaking out now!? I can't think which one of these cool dudes I should be?" Soos grip his cheeks in feeling so overly exciting that he doesn't know which character he should play as.
"Just pick the one you feel fine playing as Soos?" Dipper shrug off to happy give some advice to his friend.
"Okay, um…." Soos looked at the Burners he can play as, and looked at the black due with the puff hairdo. "I pick this Dutch guy, hugh, cause he makes me think he's Dutch? Hehehhuhuh, pretty funny when you think about it?" He chuckled from how he made that joke, course then he looked at the rugged & tough-looking guy in the black outfit. "Although maybe the Texas guy would be better, after all, ain't nothing bigger then Texas is what they say in Texas? Right dudes?" Soos was on a roll here, there were such awesome characters, he just can't pick which to go as.
"I pick the girl here named Julie, she's like a girl that's crying her soul out for FREEDOM!" Mabel declared out in having her character be the girl on the selective group.
"Wait Mabel, maybe Wendy would have liked that character?" Dipper spoke out that maybe his sister should choose another, if Wendy has dibs on the Julie person.
"No sweat guys, I'm already going with another driver with the need for music surround sounds, Dutch!" Wendy issued off that she's already got someone in mind to try out, the black dude with the cool car with surround sounds.
"Oh, guess that means I get the guy with the muscle & cluelessly causing trouble? Sweet! Texas, I choose you!" Soos decided off in seeing that from the two he wanted, he'll pick the one with the brawn work of doing things.
"Dipper, which one are you gonna be?" Mabel asked her brother since he's the only one left to pick a character to play as.
"Hugh, there are only two characters left here?" Dipper spoke from noticing three out of four characters are pick, leaving a cool red-haired & one blonde hair covering a guy's eye sight. "Mike Chilton, Or…." The boy looked from the one called Mike to the one called Chuck now. "Chuck…Hmmmm….between a cool guy of action or a skinny smart guy that looks jumpy?" After much thinking and going over the choices, the choice became clear. "Well it's obvious who I'm going as, the guy that takes charge!" Dipper issued from selecting the Mike Chilton character and was about to press the select command….
"YOINK!" Spoke another voice to cut across to mess the button dial on the game that flip Mike's character…to the Chuck one.
"Beep!" The system made a sound in responding to the selection being made. "You choose Chuck, better hope you can handle him!" The machine voice issued in letting the player know what he's doing, as the Chuck character did a strange yelpy action that made him seem…less bravo?
"What? No!" Dipper responded in shock and disbelief, that wasn't the guy he wanted to play as? "I wanted the cool hero guy, Mike? Who did that?" He asked off in who was here to mess up his character selecting, especially since all of Wendy's friends should have left by now?
When our eyes turn to who was the one responsible for messing things up with Dipper's character pickings, the twelve-year old kid just glared at someone that was also in his home. It was teenage goth boy who has black hair in a typical eye-covering "emo style", pale skin and several piercings in his ears, plus he has a pink nose. He has been seen wearing a black guitar around his chest. He usually wears tight skinny jeans with several keychains from the pockets. He also wears a black hoodie with a picture of a red bleeding heart with a scar and stitches on it, along with black fingerless gloves. He has a sparse stubble (two strands of small hairs) on his chin, and a few pimples scattered around his face. His name is Robbie, in terms of personality, Robbie is a stereotypical moody teenager, laid back and apathetic. He is condescending, especially toward younger individuals (like Dipper). His careless attitude makes him negligent of others' needs, thoughts, opinions, etc., though he does express a certain-albeit limited-degree of concern for Wendy. Like Dipper, he is anxious to win Wendy's love, and this mutual goal only fuels their fierce, incessant rivalry. Robbie is known to be reckless, prideful, and dishonest, as well. The guy is sarcastic, arrogant with a bad attitude who at this moment, is Wendy's ex-boyfriend & Dipper's biggest rival for her.
"What's up, squirt?" Robbie rudely remark towards Dipper in messing with him.
"Robbie, what are you doing here?" Dipper annoyingly asked off with a frown in what this jerk was doing.
"Hello, I was told of an awesome new game, decided to come by to check up on Wendy while checking out if the word I've heard was true." Robbie proclaimed his own reasonings of being here, one for the cool new game, the other to see Wendy, yeah, the last one was easily seen through.
"Oh it's true alright." Soos spoke off about the word of there being a cool new game at their shack was so true.
"I invited, 'my' friends over, which means I only wanted 'them' here." Wendy issued off with a dry tone towards Robbie, meaning she invited everyone she was cool with….except for this guy before her.
"Ah come on Wendy, what about the good times we had?" Robbie spoke in wanting to win Wendy over to his side to not be angry with him.
"Was that before, or after you tried to be more a jerk that you pushed her away to dump you." Mabel spoke off in making a pointed statement in what Robbie did in the past to result this present state.
"Psssh, I don't have to take sarcasm from some runts? Fine…" Robbie blew off that comment with a bad attitude remark. "If you don't want me here, I'll go." The guy issued off from waving off his left hand in seeing where he's not wanted.
"Great, that would have been nicer if you haven't mess up my selection?" Dipper smiled off to say, only to frown that if Robbie didn't come in any case, the goth jerk wouldn't have mess up his avatar picking.
"What, you mean who you wanted to be? I say the choice was clear?" Robbie turn around to make a sly smile in issuing what Dipper got was a perfect choice.
"It was?" Mabel asked off puzzled, not getting what this discussion was about.
"Yeah, Dipper playing like some brainiac that barely strikes as a hero type. The other guy is more, my type." Robbie issued to explain that the two characters left, the choosing was simple of who he & Dipper would be, from cool rebel to geeky boy.
"Ouch, talk about getting burned on a stick?" Soos responded with a blank face while still sensing a sense of 'burn' issue.
"Hay Robbie, just cause you say that, doesn't mean I can't be who I wanna be?" Dipper spoke off in his defense of being treated like this of what he's suppose to be. "For like example, if I wanted to play Chuck instead of Mike, it's my calling?" The boy issued off his claim of what character he could be in the game, was entirely for him to decide.
"Yeah, but you don't got the extreme skills that guy has in being more popular as head-shot rebel. Just face it kid." Robbie spoke off to lean down to tell Dipper this to his face over the matter of this kid trying to play a character like Mike Chilton was a no go. "You just don't have what it takes." The goth teen issued off that final issue to seal the deal right there.
With that, Robbie left up the steps from the basement while the others watched, but Dipper…seem to show a strange expression; sorrow.
"Hey Dipper, you're not gonna let what Robbie said get you down, are yah?" Wendy looked down to Dipper with a face of worry if the kid was feeling a bit low from what was just done.
"I don't know, maybe he's right?" Dipper responded a bit off in unsure about himself along with what Robbie said may have been true in his case.
"When did you ever say Robbie is right?" Wendy raised an eyebrow in not believing, Dipper was giving in to what Robbie said, he usually doesn't go that way.
"Yeah, unless…WHO ARE YOU? A SHAPE-SHIFTER! And what have you done with Dipper?" Mabel begun to think, and almost came to a wrong conclusion of this guy wasn't her brother?
"Guys, I'm still me. It's just…" Dipper spoke in protest that he is himself, but that might be where the problem lies. "Well I'm not looking like a cool person, I'm nothing but a kid?" Dipper sulked in his own despair that he's far from looking like a cool person from any action game, he's more….of a whimpy-geeky type then an cool hero.
"Come on Dipper, don't be like that? I mean, sure, you are a bit young…." Wendy spoke off to say about Dipper not getting upset over such an issue.
"Hugh…." Dipper signed from hearing that first part didn't seem to sit to well at the moment, until….
"But you done stuff probably none of us expected you could do that help us out? Remember?" Wendy smiled to pat Dipper's back to look to the positive moments the boy's done none of them ever expected to see from the guy.
"Yeah, like remember how you once fought against Lil' Gideon in a giant robot, or before then against a creepy triangle guy, or any other weird things that may seem impossible for you to beat? Could Robbie even do that stuff at all?" Mabel spoke off with a wide smile in reminding her brother about all their crazy adventures, and how they pulled out a win and how not even Robbie could have handled it.
"Hey, your right? Hugh, I guess I'm a little something?" Dipper sudden started to smile in feeling that this message was just what he needed to perk up his spirits.
"That's better, now lets play." Wendy patted Dipper on his shoulder to seeing his better side again.
"Still, ashamed I can't play Mike?" Dipper spoke from looking at his screen, he'll have to play as Chuck during his first time with this City of Motors Game.
"Yo dudes, you won't believe what I found?" Soos spoke now from fiddling around near a side of the game to uncover something.
"A magical unicorn?" Mabel asked off with a smile in fantasizing such a creature to her innocent girly heart & soul.
"Uh, let me check?" Soos spoke a bit puzzled by that question, he check the glove box, and did not see anything like that. "Nope! But I found this in the gloves compartment!" Soos held up an interesting notebook pad that was hidden within the game's glove box, just like for a real car.
"This game actually has a gloves compartment?" Dipper asked off remotely in thinking that was a bit over-sketched on the designs to make this game be like an actual vehicle.
"Yeah, and this notepad I found shows a secret code." Soos pointed out before opening it up to show some written stuff that he read out loud on what he gets. "Says we can activate something from a surprise bonus round right now, by hitting the right dial strokes to unlock it before we start playing." The chubby guy explained some directions to what the gang can get pretty quick, easy, and more.
"Really? Awesome! My gang never managed to find that bonus round?" Wendy spoke in sheer excitement, this sounded really sweet.
"Hooray, we get to do something without following the rules!" Mabel cheered to seeing they can do something and skip ahead.
"Soos, are you sure that surprise bonus data is….safe?" Dipper asked in suddenly finding this perhaps….strange for them to deal with?
"Well there's nothing that says is bad, so I guess it's a good thing then?" Soos spoke from flipping the pages, skim them to find nothing wrong.
"Hugh, I just hope it's not like from what happened with Rumble from that Arcade when I brought him to life?" Dipper signs in hoping this doesn't become like a secret code to bring game characters into their world.
"Relax Dipper, that was a different game with a different code thingy, right?" Mabel waved off her over-worrying brother about something totally different.
"Hugh, yeah, I mean, it's not like we can use that secret code here to bring anything out?" Dipper sign to give in, feeling a bit okay that from the last time he came across such a problem was for one game, and if this code isn't the same, it can't bring characters from a game into their world, right?
"Okay, Soos, let us try that code out!" Wendy responded with an eager to try what they got out, right now.
Soon the group study the bonus code from the note, and soon began to punch it in. After setting, button pushing, control rounds, whatnots, something flash before them. Dipper was nervous at first until….
"CONGRATULATIONS! You've Punched In 'The Hidden Bonus' Code!" The announcer voice responded to the gang of what they've uncovered. "Now's The Time To Rev It Up! By Creating Your 'Own' Avatar To Be Apart Of The Game!" The announcer issued the major moment where now anybody can make their own avatar character to be apart of the action.
"Oh Dude, I think I just uncover the JACKPOT Among Jackpots!" Soos spoke in utter surprise of joy at hearing this.
"No way, we can create our own characters to fight & race? Awesome!" Wendy responded in not believing such a rare treat, this'll be awesome.
"You hear that Dipper? We can become apart of the game too!" Mabel told her brother in what they've got can make them be like they are in the game.
"Man, me being in a game this popular?" Dipper spoke off in suddenly thinking about this, and began to smile about it. "I bet Robbie would be 'super' jealous of how awesome I be to be apart of the coolest game ever and he's not?" If Robbie does play the game, he'll find Dipper's avatar, and the guy will be super jealous to see it. "Okay, lets do it!" Dipper turn to the others to issue they get started on creating their avatars.
"Yeah!" The four cheered all together on that agreement, and begin working on how to make their own avatar to be apart of the action in the City of Motors.
MEANWHILE IN THE SECRET BASEMENT…
Meanwhile, we soon find Stan Pines punching a strange code on a vending machine that unlocks it to a secret passage space inside the Mystery Shack. He goes through a series of stairs behind it, he gets inside an elevator and move three floors under the ground. Stan enters a laboratory room that is filled with retro futuristic looking computers, gadgets, and machines, all of them constantly working. On the end of the room is a desk with many electronic devices and on the side it, has the symbol from Stan's tattoo. On the desk, there is a picture of Dipper and Mabel, and in the shelf below a series of books in which Stan hides the Journal Number 1. Near the desk there is a door entering into a room consisting of a triangle shaped device with a circle inside that has 16 symbols. This was Stan's Secret Underground Laboratory, and he's about to experiment something with the use of Journals 1, 2, & finally from Dipper, Number 3.
"At last, if this works, then things will begin to change." Stan Pines responded in finally finished with his next stage of work, especially since he needs Dipper's journal to make it happen. "Here goes." Grunkle Stan exclaimed before pulling the lever by his side, and watching as the device before him was glowing the usual stuff.
But outside the shack, a terrible storm was brewing up. "KRsuvhmmm…/POSsrufruvhmm…." And if that wasn't enough, lightning was shot that hit the antenna of the shack, sending a surge into any electric devices.
Which while it made areas in the shack flicked a bit, none of the power went out, but what about an experiment going on?
"BRzizivhmmm…." Unusual electricity was surging the device in the secret lab, effecting the three journals while the glow works were reaching an unusually high level readings.
"Oh no, that's not good? WAaaughhhh!" Stan yelped in seeing something bad about to happen, as he quickly runs from being in the area.
"DRUSSsvhhmmm…." Suddenly from the device, a bright glow escaped from it, and then in the middle of that, the three journals were vanishing from sight.
BACK IN THE GAME ROOM
WITH DIPPER & THE GANG…?
Back with the gang playing the City of Motors, they seem to have finished preparations. Since the game had scan cameras to get their entire figures to make their own similar characters appear on the screen.
"Alright, now our images are in the machine. Time to make our rides." Wendy cheered in seeing with their characters display, next they need to create their own rides.
"Yeah, lets do it!" Mabel also cheered in ready to get this party started now.
But at the moment, an unusual green surge of volts were escaping around the City of Motors Game. And it was starting to get some folks attention here.
"Ugh guys, there's an awful lot of green lightning coming out of the game?" Dipper pointed out with an index finger in seeing something that earn his worried attention now.
"Nah, that's the normal amount of green lightning?" Soos held his chin to state about this being the usual stuff that happens with the game. "Hugh, you know, I feel like I said that before once, where was it?" Now Soos feels like he said something very similar to this, but where?
"Soos, that's it! The time with Tumbleweed Terror, doesn't this seem familiar?" Dipper shouted out in realization, this was just like that time.
"Hugh, guess it kinda does?" Soos responded a bit puzzled that the two games had done something similar like this green lightning stuff?
"What are you getting at Dipper, so it's sparking a bit, no big deal?" Wendy shrug off her shoulders in not seeing nothing wrong here.
"But last time we got sucked into the game, it could happen now?" Dipper issued off to warn Wendy and the rest that last time, some of them got sent into the game of another, and it may happen again here.
"Come on Dipper, aren't you being a bit paranoid? That can't possibly hap…" Mabel was about to wave off such thoughts like it wasn't gonna happen, but….
"THRUPVvhmmmm….." Suddenly, the entire screen set of the game flash up in a bright green color over the four players.
"WAAAhhhh…./AAaaughhhh…." Suddenly, the four screams of Dipper, Mabel, Wendy & Soos were heard when being enshrouded by the bright light.
Once everything was cleared, the only thing within the basement was the game, but the four players were not seen. But what was seen across the City of Motors screen was label 'Game Start!' on all four seats where the players were. As the avatars of Dipper, Mabel, Wendy & Soos were seen, with a label word 'Engaging' shown up. It would appear a new adventure is about to begin here, one in which nobody that lived through the mystery of Gravity Falls has ever come across….the world within the City of Motors Game. What will happen here….is a mystery?
NOTES: Some references from Gravity Falls Season One have been mentioned in this chapter.
Some basic knowledge about Motorcity is revealed a bit.
*Inspiration Idea: It occurred to me how certain arcade games, etc. have a theme similar to what Motorcity can provide. A world of rebels fighting agaisnt those that hold absolute power & rule over others in a world that is seemingly chaotic. Which is how I came to using that idea in how to connect it as a game & the weirdest of Gravity Falls, to bring forth a new adventure for all to enjoy...
Well, here's the 1st new chapter of the story, & I can honestly say…it's on quite an interesting start. Next chapter, the Dipper & the gang find themselves no longer in their world of Gravity Falls, but are in the world of Motorcity. Problems arise from when the gang have to survive encounters against mutants rats, to gangster encounters from one mistake to the next. Worse of all, is that Dipper's Journal #3 has become a shiny gold object worth interest? But when getting help from the Amazons to staying at the Skylarks Hotel, things seem good…until Kane gets in on the action? Now with KaneCo Drones going after the gang, will they survive, or will someone come to their rescue in a 'BURNING' motion? Stay tune to find out…
