Gravity Falls
I think our great uncle is a serial killer!
Chapter I:
Midnight Sneak
Note: This takes place before 'Land Before Swine'.
It's around 11 pm at the Mystery Shack.
Dipper and a pseudo-sleepy Mabel and are watching a TV crime-drama. The boy overheard Wendy talking about it with her friends and decided he could see it just to impress her.
The show starts with Michael, the eponymous main character, being a good father and role model for his kids. He then receives a call and leaves to report to duty. The scene changes to a gruesome, graphic close-up of a crime scene.
"Cause of death could be the multiple stabs in the heart." The character suggests.
"But the head is chopped off." A police officer says
"Well, it could be if it wasn't chopped off when he was dead." Michael replies. "I can also see several bruises, done before the stabs, suggesting he was tortured before murdered."
"How do you know about it?" the police officer asks
"Because it's my job."
Dipper thinks it's not a big deal. However, it is actually affecting him. But for the sake of Wendy, he continues watching the program.
"You can do it, Dipper." The boy mutters to himself. "She'd recognize you're brave enough to watch this kind of stuff."
Minutes later, there's a scene where Michael is silently leaving his house during night time. He takes his car and leaves. The character's giving a monologue and goes to a bar.
For sure I know, this is the place where Johnson uses to hang out. Michael looks at the bar's owner. Must investigate further about that guy. Seems suspicious.
He finds the killer and injects him with a powerful animal tranquilizer and takes him out and no one notices. The scene switches to a place, probably a killing room. Mr. Johnson is attached to a giant table. The room is covered with tons and tons of plastic.
There's dialogue between the characters.
Dipper starts to get a bit scared each second and covers his eyes when Michael murders the killer and gets rid of the now chopped-in-small-pieces body. He puts the pieces in black, plastic bags and throws them into the sea.
After the episode finishes, he turns off the TV, scared. He keeps telling to himself that everything that happened in that series didn't exist and starts to wonder why Wendy and her friends like it.
"Come on, Mabel." He says, but no answer given. "Mabel?"
He looks around and realizes that Mabel left to their room when he wasn't looking.
Dipper sighs and decides to get some sleep, hoping he will forget what he saw in TV. Just as he's about to go upstairs, he hears a noise.
Freaked out, he takes a bat and approaches to the window.
What's Grunkle Stan doing? And why is he out at this hour? He wonders.
Grunkle Stan is seen testing what it looks like a lethal weapon. He's wearing leather gloves, just like the ones Michael uses.
"It's time to test this baby for real." Stan says and leaves to his car.
Dipper is freaked out by what he saw.

Mabel is sleeping in her bed, accompanied by Waddles.
"MABEL!" Dipper yells as he goes to her bed. "MABEL! WAKE UP!"
The girl wakes up and rubs her eyes and ears.
"Dipper," She says, half-sleepy. "I hope you have a good reason for waking me up."
"Mabel! Grunkle Stan is a serial killer!" he yells. "I saw him! He's going to kill!"
Mabel doesn't believe him.
"And I'm Queen Elizabeth." She replies and goes back to sleep. "Good night, Dipper."
"Mabel, we can't sleep!" he shakes her. "What if we're next?"
"Grunkle Stan is a good uncle. Why would he kill us?"
"He's a serial killer!"
"He's not. And let me sleep. You know how I get when I don't get enough sleep." She says, a bit pissed off. "Good night."
Dipper turns off the light and takes the bat and a flashlight with him. He gets in his bed and starts to keep an eye in both the door and window.
A/N: I had this idea around and I wanted to use it before someone else does.
