Prologue
Dipper Pines put the pedal to the metal as he drove the golf cart that he was in, his sister was next to him and a boy named Steven was on top of the cart. "Aaaaaah!" The twins and Steven screamed as they drove the golf cart.
Dipper explains to the audience what's going on.
"Hello my name is Dipper. The girl sitting next to me in the golf cart is my sister Mabel. And the chubby kid on top of the golf cart is called Steven Universe. And the giant thing chasing us and spitting acid, is something we call the Centipeedle! Believe it or not, this isn't entirely new to me and my sister. To try and make a long and complex story short with major spoilers:
On one faithful summer in the town of Gravity Falls, Oregon. While my twin sister Mabel and I were forced to spend the summer with our Gruncle (the words great and uncle combined.) Stanley Pines and I discovered a journal belonging to his twin brother Stanford or simply Uncle Ford. My sister Mabel, our family and friends in the town went on many wild adventures... Some we forget to mention. At the end of the summer we all parted but our friend Soos found remnants of an alien portal. He texted and called us, and we naturally did what we could to investigate. However we got sucked into a vortex which scattered us. Thankfully Soos, Stan, Wendy, Mabel and I landed in the same universe on an alternate version of earth somewhere on the east coast. Bad news is we're clueless on rather anything or anyone else in our universe got sucked up as well. And my Uncle Ford is missing! Again... Thankfully we've met some kind folks who actually want to help us." Dipper explained.
The golf cart was on the beach and was about to make a turn, the Centipeedle got ready to fire more acid spit. "Wait one moment!" The cart and everything froze in place. "Before we continue, shouldn't we explain what got us into this mess?" Steven asked.
"Oh right. That would totally help make some more sense dude." Dipper said as he snapped his fingers while off screen.
Adventure 1
-earlier that day-
Dipper and Mabel arrived in Beach City with their Golf cart as Steven found out his faverite ice cream sandwich the cookie cat was being discontinued in the big donut.
"What about the lion lickers?" Lars, a strange teen with hoops for ears suggested.
"They taste horrible and they don't even look like lions!" Steven cried.
Then Sadie, the blond slightly short worker allowed him to take the fringe for Cookie cat.
When he got home, the Crystal gems got a surprise for him.
Steven looked in the fridge and saw cookie cars.
"Where did you get these?"
"We found them" Garnet said.
"We found them in the store and stole a bunch!" Amythest stated.
"I went back and paid" Pearl added.
Then Steven sang the cookie cat theme and ate the cookie cat as he felt happy and summoned a pink shield. This was the start of a new chapter in his life. Mabel and Dipper looked around. "Mabel. Where are we?" He said.
"I don't know dudes. But this place surely looks nice." A familiar tall guy with an almost mustache said.
"Soos!" The twins both said. "Thank goodness you're alright." Dipper said.
"I sure am. I've been here for only a couple minutes. And I think it's safe to say we aren't in Oregon anymore. Unless we're on one of those few nice beaches." Soos said.
"Beaches?! Maybe we'll find a cute vampire?" Mabel said, excitedly.
"I'm not so sure Mabel." Dipper said, as Soos patched up the golf cart.
"Who can say, I mean this looks like a place for the sparkling vampires like in those books that got movies. But something is... Different about this place. I mean look at that donut shop and that temple's statue of a giant woman." Soos said as he finished his work.
Dipper and Mabel ran to get a better look at the donut shop. They then saw a boy heading for a house in side of the temple. They were in awe of the sight of the statue. "G-G-Giant woman!" Dipper said, they then ran toward the boy before he entered the house. Dipper meant for it to be stealthy, "okay Mabel. Remember stealth is the key." He whispered assuming Mabel was behind him, but she was in front of him and about to introduce herself.
"Hi there I'm Mabel, the funniest girl you'll ever meet. What's your name, adorable guy?" Mabel asked.
"I'm Steven Universe, nice to meet you" Steven replied.
"Mabel..." Dipper took in a deep breath for a moment. "Um... Hello. My name is Dipper, my sister and I aren't from around here. Could you tell us where we are?" Dipper said while trying to keep calm.
"Nice to meet you Dipper. And this is Beach City! One of the best coast cities out there." Steven said with excitement.
"Tell me Steven... Does odd stuff happen around here often?" Dipper said as he noticed a freezer shaped like a cat being carried by Steven.
"If by odd stuff you mean monsters appearing, and the Crystal Gems fighting them. Then yeah odd stuff happens a lot." Steven said in a somewhat casual manner.
"Wait did you say monsters?!" Dipper asked.
"Yes. If we're lucky there won't be one today." Steven said as he opened the front door of his home. The trio then saw three women possibly in their late teens or twenties fighting about half a dozen bug like creatures.
"Okay... This is unexpected." Dipper said as he watched the fighting.
"Steven, you and your friends shouldn't be here " Garnet said as she poofed a centapedle gem.
"What the heck are these things." Dipper said as he saw a purple woman poof another Centipeedle.
"They're gem monsters and you're should go so close they could burn you with acid" Amethyst warned.
"Acid spitting gem monsters?" Dipper said.
"Aw they're like a bunch of angry caterpillars." Mabel said.
"This is so awesome!" Steven said as more of the Centipeedles got poofed.
"These big bugs look like centipedes with beetle pincers... Their Centipeedles!" Mabel said with excitement.
"These things don't have any Gems in them." Amethyst said.
"There must be a mother nearby." Garnet said as she poofed the last one.
"Whoa! You three women are amazing!" Mabel said.
"That's the Crystal Gems for you." Steven said with a big grin.
"Crystal Gems?" Dipper said, he then realized that even though this was clearly another dimension that he was seeing pretty unusual things. "Hold on! Back up the truck! Can someone explain what you ladies are and what was with those monsters?" Dipper said as he took note that the women had a gemstone on their bodies.
Pearl took a moment and then said. "Oh! These must be some new human friends of yours Steven. I wish you would've told us you they were coming over." Pearl said.
"We actually just met. Their names are Dipper and Mabel!" Steven said as he brought Pearl closer to Dipper and Mabel.
"Um... Hello..." Pearl said, she clearly felt ackward with sudden introductions.
Mabel gasped in awe. "Oh my gosh. You look like a ballerina, you must be very graceful." Mabel said.
"Nice too meet you too..." Dipper was looking at the stone on Pearl's head.
"Hey there! I'm Amethyst!" Amethyst said with excitement.
"I'm Mabel! You have such beautiful hair!" Mabel said.
"Is that a gemstone on your chest?" Dipper asked.
"It sure is." Amethyst said.
"And this is Garnet!" Steven said as he gestured toward the tall woman.
"Hello." Garnet said with a nod.
"You must be the big boss?!" Mabel said.
"She's the awesome one!" Grace fangirled (random cameo).
"Who are you?" Dipper asked.
"I'm Garnet, master of Comedy" Garnet replied.
"Wait... Gems... Names like Pearl, Amethyst and Garnet..." Dipper said, as he was pondering for a moment.
"You're all awesome! But we have a couple tiny favours too ask for." Mabel said, as her brother mumbled to himself.
"What is it?" Steven asked.
"We're missing our Grunckle Stan. He's a tall grumpy old man, who may or may not have a fezz hat on, and odds are he's trying to make money." Mabel said while looking adorable.
Pearl left a moment, and came back with a guy who resembled Stan. Though in reality it was the Stan from the Pilot episode of Gravity Falls. "Is this him?" Pearl asked.
"Close but not quite." Mabel said, Pearl then took Pilot Stan back to wherever she found him.
"Maybe we should use the golf cart?" Dipper said.
"Oh my gosh! You have a golf cart?!" Steven asked.
"We sure do. And our Grunckle Stan let's drive it." Mabel said, she and the boys went to the golf cart. Soos told them they could use it to search for Stan. They called for him as they rode.
"Let's go have fun!" Mabel said with excitement.
"You've said that every time we pass that board walk place." Dipper said as they drove by said board walk for the fourth time.
Then Steven spotted something big on the beach. "Hey guys, I think I see something over there?" Steven said. Dipper then turned the golf cart towards the beach. They then rammed into a giant Centipeedle. "Ahhhh!" The boys cried out. The monster was angry.
"Alright escape first, cry for help second!" Dipper said as he backed up the golf cart and put the pedal to the metal. They drove through Beach City with the Centipeedle keeping up pace, it didn't try gaining speed. Then they got on the beach, Steven called out to the Crystal Gems while standing on top of the golf cart. But then Dipper hit a rock and Steven nearly went flying off.
"This monster doesn't quit." Steven said as he held on.
"I wish we could lose this ugly thing!" Dipper said.
"Dipper, she's only chasing us because you hurt her!" Mabel said, but then the Centipeedle saw the temple and took a sharp turn towards it. It knocked the golf cart over as it climbed up the house to the temple.
"The gems!" Steven cried.
Then he got an idea.
"Follow me!" He cried as he ran inside the beach house and grabbed the cookie cat fridge.
" those look good!" Mabel exclaimed as she tried a cookie cat.
"Mabel, this is no time to eat!" Dipper exclaimed as they followed Steven outside to find the crystal gens hiding behind a stone hand.
"We could use Steven's shield about now" Amethyst stated as the centapedle spat acid at the hand.
They'll appear in place of Uncle Grandpa's crew.
Steven tried to summon his shield by forcefully eating more Cookie Cats. But it didn't work. So he ultimately used the freezer, and it electrocuted the Centipeedle. Mabel couldn't stand the sight, she closed her eyes as the Centipeedle cried and then turned into a cloud of smoke. Then a green gemstone was seen where the Centipeedle was, Garnet then captured it in a bubble. And then lightly tapped the bubble, which made it vanish.
"Yes! We defeated the monster!" Dipper said.
"We didn't do anything bro, bro. And... I'm sad for the Centipeedle." As Mabel said that, Steven started crying.
"There, there Steven. We're all sad for the Centipeedle..." Mabel said.
"We'll save the centipeedle from corruption one day, Steven" Garnet said.
Steven stopped crying for a moment. "Its not that... I ate all the Cookie Cats and the Cookie Cat Fridge is gone." Steven said as he gestured toward the burned remains of the small fridge.
"Alas poor Cookie Cat, we miss you already..." Mabel said as Steven made a burial for the fridge. But then suddenly the actions of eating too many Cookie Cats came back to haunt Steven. In short he threw up, and Pearl was both sickly from the sight and concerned for Steven.
After the Cookie Cat mess, everyone recovered at the house, but then Dipper took a moment to process everything that happened. "Wait did you Gems say that monster had a gem?" Dipper asked.
"Yes." Pearl said. It was clear she wasn't sure what to think of Dipper, and hoped he wasn't cleaver enough to make the connections. But he narrowed his eyes and made a hmm sound. "Does he always do this?" Pearl asked Mabel.
"Only when he's thinking of something and making connections in a calm place." Mabel explained as she watched Steven resting.
Pearl then said. "I don't know what happened with you three in town. But thank you for protecting Steven." Pearl said while trying to look relaxed.
"No big deal for us. But we still need to find my Grunckle Stan and Uncle Ford." Dipper said.
Then Soos stepped in. "Hey dudes. I saw you heading for the beach and... Whoa! What happened to this place?!" Soos asked.
"Oh Centipeedles and their cute mother attacked. But these super cool gals called the Crystal Gems defeated them, and we helped in our own way." Mabel said.
Soos was amazed. "Guess I surely missed out on one mystery. But wait until you kids hear what I have... Too say..." Soos was paused as he saw Amethyst. When he saw her it was all in slow motion to him, he saw the cute short chubby purple woman drinking soda through a burrito, she ate the burrito and then burped before waving her hair. Soos' eyes widened like Mabel's whenever she sees a cute boy, Amethyst blinked and say "hey" to Soos.
"Soos! Earth to Soos!" Dipper said as Soos stood paused for a bit. "This planet is called Earth right?" Dipper asked Amethyst.
"Yeah dude." She answered.
"Well this is great. We're trapped on an alternate version of Earth, with a boy, three colorful women with Gem stones on their bodies, while we search for wherever Stan is." Dipper said after he noticed Soos' eyes were following Amethyst.
Soos suddenly snapped out of it. "Oh he's over at a Carwash. Who are these colorful gals?" Soos said, which got the twins excited.
The gems told Soos their names as Dipper and Mabel ran into town with Amythest to find the car wash.
"You have a tourist trap where you're from? Sounds amazing!" Greg's voice exclaimed.
"Yeah, your car wash ain't half bad either. You might want to add more colours to attract more people" a familiar gruff voice replied.
"Grunckle Stan!" Dipper and Mabel cried.
Kids! Thank goodness you're alright." Stan said as he hugged Mabel and Dipper. "Where have you two been?!" He asked.
"Well we've spent the day looking for you and anyone else who was in the shake." Dipper said.
"I thought I saw Soos. He ran to the beach after I called his name. I'm guessing that's where you kids were." Stan said.
Greg was glad Stan found his family. "So these two are the amazing twins I've been told about." He said.
"Hey Greg." Amethyst said.
"H-Hey Amethyst..." Greg said.
"Kids allow me to introduce Greg Universe. He's a carwash owner." Stan said as he introduced the kids to Greg. "Greg this is my great-nephew Dipper, and my great-niece Mabel." Stan said as he introduced Greg to the twins.
Dipper suspected that Greg was Steven's dad. "So you know Amethyst?" He asked.
"Yeah she's one of the Crystal Gems my son hangs out with." Greg said.
Back at the beach house, Soos talked with the other two Gems. "So are your gemstones like jewellery or actually part of your bodies?" He asked.
"Our gems project our bodies of light which become mass" Pearl explained.
"Meaning our bodies are like holograms but we can still feel pain and other emotions like you do" Garnet added.
"That sounds awesome dudes. But also reminds me of this creepy game character." Soos said as he recalled Giffany. "So are you like robots or aliens?" Soos asked.
"Yep well aliens I guess" Pearl replied.
"That's cool. Dipper once found an alien ship. Does Steven know you aren't of Earth?" Soos asked.
"Sort of we're planning on explaining it properly to him soon" Pearl replied.
"So I should keep this like a super secret, don't tell anyone?" Soos asked.
"Some of the town folk know but we're not actually citizens so we need those passports so... You decide" Garnet stated.
Soos thought it over for a bit. "Well seeing how powerful telling a secret early can be, I'll keep it secret. So do you know what made that mess earlier today at the beach?" Soos asked.
Meanwhile back at the carwash Stan and the twins got along good with Greg and Steven. Steven told his dad about the Gems fighting the Centipeedle and the sad end of Cookie Cat. "So Stanley, do you guys have a place to stay?" Greg asked.
"No. And a motel is out of the question... If only I had my car to sleep in." Stan said.
"You sleep in your car?" Greg asked.
"Back in my old salesman days yes. Sometimes I'd do it for nostalgia, because that car was the only thing that stuck with me..." Stan explained.
Greg felt sympathy for Stan, he saw a little of himself in the older man. "Listen Stanley... Maybe the twins can spend the night with Steven, while we rest out at the wash or my van." Greg offered.
"You'd do that for someone you just met today, who might steal from you in your sleep?" Stan asked.
"Sure I'd... What?!" Greg said with a baffled expression on his face.
"Never mind. Your hospitality is accepted sir." Stan said with a handshake.
Later Greg and Grunckle Stan explained the game plan to the kids, and they were thrilled for the most part. "Awesome! Sleepover at the beach house!" Steven said with excitement.
"You can sleep in my room. I'll use the couch. I've got like a dozen sleeping bags!" Steven said with excitement.
"That's awesome! Do you have any other friends we can invite?" Mabel asked.
"Well most of my friends are busy, or their parents haven't approved of sleepovers yet. The Crystal Gems live at the temple the beach house is built into." Steven explained.
"Ok let's have some fun" Mabel stated
Soon the kids got to the beach house and had fun, while Soos and the Crystal Gems cleaned and fixed up all the damage done in the fight. The twins found Stan and Soos, they made friends, they had places to stay, and Steven learned he can summon a shield.
A word from Dipper: And so that's how all of this dimension travel started. I hope you guys look forward to these adventures in another dimension. It seems like a loit of new summer fun.
A word from Mabel: Mabel here! I think Steven ids cute and the Crystal Gems are the coolest girl team ever! I hope I can becomes their #1.2 fan, because Steven is clearly #1! Also we may break the fourth wall in these after chapter words from us!
