Driving home from the Mystery Shack was something Soos did every day. He'd fix stuff, talk to Wendy and Mr. Pines, and maybe do something fun with Dipper and Mable if they were around. Today he had helped the twins solve a particularly hard mystery, and was still glowing with pride. His fix-it knowledge could come in handy more than one might think. Pulling into his garage, he heard his grandma call out.

"Soos, is that you? The oven won't work again." Soos felt his powers activating as he stumbled out of his car and into the house. His grandma was standing at the oven, holding the plug in her hand and looking at the wall.

"Soos to the rescue!" He yelled as he took it from her and slammed it into the outlet. The oven fired up. Within minutes they're meal was ready. A few minutes after that and Soos was in his room. He was almost done editing his newest Fixin It video and he was anxious to get it up online. He opened up Autographix and went to work, using stock effects to add excitement. Not that him fixing the Mystery Shack's door had to be made any more exciting, but still. Explosions are all people want nowadays.

He had just finished compiling the video (without incident, luckily) and was about to turn off his computer, when he noticed a minimized window. He maximised it, and was met with a black screen. On the top was one word.

"Hi"

Soos was confused. He worried he might have gotten a virus, and that it was going to take over his computer. He dismissed that when he remembered the 4th antivirus he'd installed last week. Nothing was going to infiltrate this machine. He noticed that the black box had a flashing line and room for him to type, so he greeted it.

"Sup, dawg" he pressed enter and waited. And waited. His finger bounced on the mouse. A full five minutes passed before more text appeared in the box.

"Not much. How are you? Do you remembler me%?" Soos gave the screen an odd look.

"What an odd question. Sure, I might as well answer."

"No. Do you have a name?" Another five minutes later and he had his response.

"Yes. I'm Giffany!" Soos sat there, looking at the screen. That name brought back terrible memories. Ones he had been blissfully ignoring and forgetting for the last few days. He promptly closed the window and turned off his computer.

"That's enough of that. I'll go to sleep and it'll all be a dream" He jumped into bed and was snoring in no time.


"Yo, Dipper, I have a question for you," Soos said when his shift was over for the day.

"Yeah, what's up? Got any mysteries you need solving?" Dipper winked at Soos.

"Uh, no, more of a 'what would you do if you were me' type of thing. Do you remember Giffany?" Dipper nodded. "Well, pretend you were me, and you found out that Giffany was still alive on your computer. What would you do?"

"Well, first, I'd unplug the computer. Next, I'd take the hard drive out and smash it. Then I'd have a bonfire and throw it all in. Why'd you ask?" Soos shuddered at the thought of his beautiful antique computer on fire.

"Well, it's only theoretical. In fact, I'm thinking of making a whole series of videos with Gravity Falls residents saying what they'd do in different situations."

"Well, uh, good luck with that, Soos. See you tomorrow!" Soos drove home rather quickly, narrowly missing a pothole in the road. After inhaling his dinner he was back at his computer. He sat there, watching the blank screen, until he decided to be productive and publish his new Fixin it with Soos video. The upload had just finished when the black window opened again.

"Hi again Soos. You left." Soos wondered how he was going to answer and came to a decision.

"I panicked. Our last meeting didn't go well. How are you still alive?" His question remained unanswered for a while, as if Giffany was having troubles typing. Finally, he had his response.

"I sent my data through the power lines back to here. I only got my AI code through before you… 'deleted' me." Soos sat back. She had only gotten a bit of herself through. That must have been why she wasn't taking over all of his electronics.

"Uh, sorry about that. Just a tiny question, did you keep your homicidal tendencies?" A shorter pause.

"Maybe. A small amount of my personality code was lost in the rushed transmission." Should he tell Dipper and Mabel? What if they didn't listen to him and destroyed his computer. That would be bad. This was, he decided, going to be his own little secret.

"Hey, Giffany, I have an idea. What would you think of us being just friends?"

"Just friends? Okay! Anything for you Soos!" Soos leant back and stared at the screen. This was interesting. His relationship with Melody was going great, but it would be cool having a second… "person" to talk to.

"Hey, Giffany, can you watch what I'm doing in Autographix?" If she could, maybe he could get some input for his next video.

"Uh, maybe… Just one momblent please… Yes, I can." Soos smiled and went to work on his newest video, preparing the titles and writing a general outline. Giffany had surprisingly good artistic taste, and pointed out some things he could do differently.


"Hey, Soos, the television's broken!" Stan yelled to the ceiling "Can you fix it?"

"Sure thing Mr. Pines! Just let me grab my camera!" Soos had just stuck his keys into the ignition of his car when he saw Mabel running towards him. "Yo Mabel, what's up?"

"Sparklez and Glitter is having a craft sale! Can you drive me there? Pleeease?" She pulled her arms into her sweater and started hitting him in the face with her sleeves.

"Yeah, sure thing Mabel. Hop in!" Mabel ran around the side and got inside. "So what are you going to get? I get pipe cleaners from there all the time to clean the Shack's pipes."

"I'm out of red yarn and I just had an amazing idea for a new sweater. It's going to have an apple on it." Soos pulled out of the Mystery Shack driveway and started toward the Gravity Falls Mall.

"Yo, Mabel, what's your opinion on secrets? Not that I'm keeping one or something like that."

"Secrets? They're not good at all! People who keep secrets from they're friends aren't trustworthy."

"Yeah Mabel, I agree one hundred percent with that…" Soos fidgeted. "Anyways, can we stop by at my house first. I gotta pick up my camera for a new video! Starring me!"

"Can I help again? What are you fixing?"

"The TV. Mr. Pines broke it. This time it's going to be invincible!" Soos came to a sudden stop in front of his house. "I'll be right back Mabel!" Soos ran into his room and dug around for his camera. "It's gotta be in here somewhere…" He threw out some various items before getting to it. He was about to run out again until he remembered Giffany. "Well, a short hello won't hurt." He typed a greeting to Giffany before leaving.

"Hey Giffany. How's it going? I'll be back later."

Only five minutes after that a response showed up on the screen.

"It's going great! I had an idea I want you to know. I'm sure you'll loOve it~"


Walking out of Sparklez and Glitter with his hands full of craft supplies, Soos had an idea.

"Hey, Mabel, can we stop by at the electronics store and grab some parts for the TV?"

"Sure thing Soosicle, let's go get a TASER!"

"I think I should go for something a bit more practical this time. Like… this!" He started shoving things into a basket.


"Hey, Soos, what's taking so long with the TV?" Stan yelled upstairs, "I'm missing The Duche— uh, I mean I'm missing Cash Wheel! People bathing in money is important." Soos and Mabel were sitting in her room, the guts of the television out for display.

"It won't be much longer Mr. Pines! I just gotta put it back together." In a quieter voice, he addressed Mabel. "We need to find a place to stick this satellite dish. Think you can stick it on the roof somewhere?"

"Sure thing. I just need to find Waddles."

"Waddles? I understand why you'd want him. His wisdom exceeds even mine. I think he's behind the couch." Mabel ran down the stairs.

"Waddles! BLARGHH!" Soos started putting the television back together when she poked her head in the door again. "Uh, I forgot the dish." She was in and out in a flash. A banging on the roof said that she had found a spot to put the satellite dish. Soos hummed to himself as he worked, and before long he was done.

"Yo hambone, how's it goin'?" He poked his head through the hole in the roof. Mabel was having a staring contest with Waddles. The pig seemed to be winning; Mabel was starting to fidget and look uncomfortable. Finally she gave in.

"You beat me Waddles. Big pig hug!" She hugged him and finally noticed Soos. "Oh, hey Soos, the dish is up. Did you finish the TV?"

"Yeah, it's all set. Wanna go show it to Mr. Pines?"

"Yeah! Do you have the camera ready?"

"Yup, I have it on the tripod downstairs." He ducked back inside and yelled, "Hey, Mr. Pines, the TV's ready!"

"Took ya long enough. I'll be there in a sec." Soos grabbed the TV from upstairs and set it up in the living room. When the camera was running and everyone was set (Mabel had to change her sweater because "llamas don't match the Fixin it with Soos opening"), he turned on the T.V.

"Okay, get ready Mr. Pines, this is going to blow your mind." He turned on the T.V. and a rerun of Baby Fights appeared.

"Is this meant to blow my mind, cuz this episode sucks. They really slacked off on character development."

"No, this is meant to blow your mind!" He pressed a button and a list of satellite channels came up. "I used some Soos magic and now we can get any satellite channel we want for free!"

"Does it get the Black and White Period Piece Old Lady Boring Movie Channel? Not that I'd watch it, it's just good to bore guests."

"I'm sure of it…" after a quick search, Soos found it. "Here it is! So, what do you think? On a scale of one to ten on the Awesome-o-meter, your feedback is important to us."

"Yeah, getting the satellite on the roof wasn't easy. It took two glasses of Mabel Juice energy to get it up the ladder." Grunkle Stan looked between the two of them before giving his judgment.

"Well, you said it can get any channel I want, so non-stop Cash Wheel is a possibility now. And I don't need to pay for cable anymore, so… ten out of ten and a two cent raise." Soos let the remote drop to the floor before following it down.

"You did it Soos! Nothing can match your super amazing fixing powers!" She lied down beside him and started rolling around on the carpet. "Blub blub blub blub!"

"This is mildly disturbing," Stan remarked. "Well, gotta watch some classic, brain numbing television. Soos, your camera is still running." Soos looked up from the floor.

"Who are you and what have you done with Stan!"

"Huh?"

"The Mr. Pines I know would never give me a raise!"

"Well, TV withdrawal can do things to a guy. Now, you're off work for the rest of the day. Can you go have a fit somewhere else?"

"Yes siree Mr. Pines! Mabel, our work here is done." She got up and walked out with him. "Hey hambone, where's Dipper. I haven't seen him all day." Mabel frowned.

"He's probably out in the forest again. Something about Multibear wanting to have tea. I didn't get the whole thing," she looked up at Soos. "Are we going to do something else? Something fun?!" Soos frowned. He would invite her to his house to edit the video, if it weren't for Giffany. He had a feeling Mabel wouldn't approve of his little secret.

"Sorry hambone, but I don't think you should come over to my house right now. It's a long story."

"Oh… okay. Fine then." Mabel looked like she was about to burst into tears.

"I'm sorry man, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings." He knelt down. Suddenly Mabel smiled.

"Just kidding! Ker-pranked! I'm gonna make a new sweater with all of that yarn we got!"

"Sounds good Mabel. See ya later." He got into his car and drove off. The message on his computer screen was still waiting.

Hi guys and girls! Thanks for taking the time to read this. This story takes place sometime during season two. When in season two will be answered next chapter. Anyways, I feel like Giffany is an underappreciated character; there are only a few worthwhile stories of her out there, and most are in progress or eternal hiatus. So, hey, Giffany needs representation. As does Soos. He's is an interesting character to write. A bit weird, but still cool.

Next update should be in about a week. Review if you want, and have a nice day!
