A/N: For those of you who have been following my Gravity Falls genderbent AU, I wish to take a break from that and focus on a spin-off featuring the Reverse Pines AU...merged with my genderbent AU! Hopefully it's a good fanfic.

Once upon a time, there was a town called Gravity Falls, which was just north of normal and west of weird. And in this town, there lived the Gleeful twins: one boy and one girl.

The boy was named Marcus, and he was known to be rather ruthless. He was dressed sharp, wearing a light blue button-up shirt, black slacks, and black dress shoes. His brown hair was combed nicely and he always wore an emerald amulet.

The girl was named Dana, and she was so vain, always caring about her appearance. She wore a light blue sparkling dress, grey leggings, and black high heels, completing the outfit with a diamond-studded black cape. Her long brown hair was done in elegant curls, with the front portion clipped back by an emerald barrette, exposing her Big Dipper-shaped birthmark. She always wore makeup, which consisted of mascara, light blue eyeshadow, and bright red lipstick.

Dana and Marcus were famous for being stage magicians, performing at the Castle of Telepathy. Using their respected emerald objects, they wowed audiences with illusions and trickery.

But despite the magic tricks, all Dana cared about was her appearance. She loved how people awed over her beauty. So during every performance, she made sure to flaunt her beauty by fluffing her curls and posing like a model. Thankfully Marcus didn't mind how she always stole the spotlight.

But then, everything changed when two newcomers visited one of their performances...

It was a typical evening at the Castle of Telepathy. As usual, Dana and Marcus were doing their usual magic tricks. Then it was time to read the mind of an random guest.

"Alright, we need a volunteer for our next trick," Marcus said. "How about...you?"

Marcus pointed at a blonde boy in the audience. He wore a rainbow hoodie, a dark pink t-shirt, purple shorts, and black shoes. He nervously got up from his iseat and got onstage.

"Well hello there," Dana said flirtatiously. "You seem like a newcomer to this town."

The boy nodded shyly, keeping his eyes on Dana. She noticed he had braces.

"Enough flirting," Marcus said. "We have a trick to perform."

"Sorry," Dana said.

The twins touched their emerald objects, using them to read the boy's mind. They let go of the objects after a few seconds.

"Your name's Patterson Southeast," Marcus said. "The cousin of Jennifer Pines, who you were sitting next to in the audience."

Jennifer was a short girl with messy white hair tied in a ponytail. She wore an orange t-shirt, a long grey skirt, and black sneakers.

"You're staying with your cousin for the summer at the Surprise Hut," Dana said. "And you have a pet chicken named Cluck-Cluck."

"Is that true?" Marcus asked the young volunteer.

Patterson was still looking at Dana. "You're the most beautiful girl I ever saw," he blurted out. It looked like he was in some kind of trance.

"I know," Dana bragged, fluffing her voluminous curls.

"I-I'm serious," Patterson stammered. "I've never seen a beautiful girl like you before. You're probably the prettiest girl in the whole world."

Dana was stunned. She knew she was the fairest in all of Gravity Falls, but in the whole world? That was a first.

After what felt like an eternity of silence, Marcus cleared her throat. "Well, that's our show for tonight," he said, hastily pushing Patterson off-stage. "Thanks for coming! You people are the real miracles!"

When the crowd left, the twins headed back to their dressing room. Dana was in full-gush mode. "I think I'm in love," she said.

"Oh please," Marcus said. "He only loves you because you're beautiful."

Dana sat at the twins' vanity. "But that boy said I'm the prettiest girl in the world," she said, finger-combing her beautifully curled hair. "Everyone else calls me the fairest in all of Gravity Falls."

"You don't get it, do you?" Marcus asked. "You're so used to compliments that you're confusing real love for artificial love."

"I know what real love is like," Dana said.

"Oh really?" Marcus asked, pulling out a triangle-shaped bell.

Dana's eyes widened. "Wait, what are you doing?" she asked, getting up and facing Marcus.

With a sly smirk, Marcus rang the bell. In a flash of light, a floating yellow triangle with one eye appeared.

"Well hello there!" Bill Cipher said. "If it isn't my old friends, the genderbent Gleeful twins of Dimension 36! I haven't seen you two in years!"

"Hello Bill," Marcus said. "Do you remember the blessings you gave me and my sister?"

"'Course I remember," Bill said. "You two were four years old when you first me. Dana was crying about wanting to be beautiful, while you wanted to be fierce and brave. So aside from those emerald gemstones that granted you magical powers, I blessed you with a strong heart and Dana with such beauty that all girls would envy her."

Dana smiled in response. "Yeah, about that..." Marcus said. "Undo what you did to my sister."

Dana's smile quickly faded away. "What?!" she asked.

Bill laughed. "That's why you called?" he asked. "You could have asked her to do that!"

"Marcus, please!" Dana begged. "I was hideous! Don't make me go back!"

"You see?" Marcus asked Bill.

"Very well," Bill said. And with the snap of his fingers, Dana had transformed back into her old self.

Alarmed, Dana looked at her reflection and screamed in horror. Her once curly hair had become straight, all traces of makeup vanished, her nose had a slight reddish tint, and there were small bags under her eyes. If that wasn't enough, Bill also took away her emerald barrette, leaving her limp hair hanging in front of her right eye.

"Don't worry, Dana," Bill reassured. "It's only temporary."

"You're right," Dana said, eyeing her makeup on the vanity. "I can fix this!"

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Bill said. "So you won't cheat, I cursed you so that any makeup that touches your face instantly kills you. The only way to undo this is to prove you really are beautiful without my little blessing. Good luck!" And with that, the dream demon vanished.

Dana angrily looked at Marcus. "You monster!" she exclaimed.

"You're welcome," Marcus said, smirking.

"Look at me!" Dana exclaimed. "I'm just as ugly as I was years ago!"

"Not exactly," Marcus said. Then without warning, he grabbed a pair of scissors and before Dana could protest, he chopped off all of her long hair. "That's better," he said. "Oh, and I'm going to need you to take off your clothes."

Some time later, Dana looked at her reflection the mirror, disgusted with her new look. She barely had any hair left and she was forced to wear a plain grey dress and white flats. In her mind, she was absolutely ugly. "You're welcome," Marcus said.

Upset at Marcus, Dana ran out of the room, holding back tears.

Outside, Dana ran out of the Castle of Telepathy and into the forest. As she ran, she tripped over her feet and fell onto the ground and into a mud puddle. Feeling horrible about her current state, she started crying. Here she was, out in the wilderness, with no beauty and no emerald barrette. She knew she couldn't show her face at the Castle of Telepathy again, since no one would recognize her anymore.

What was she going to do now?
