Relax, Short Stack You'll Be Fine

By lisbeth-dragon

This is my 1st Gravity Falls fanfic. This takes place after the "Gideon Rises" episode. Lil' Gideon's in jail and someone comes to visit him. Gideon might be OOC in this. Well here we go! (DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything from Gravity Falls; I wish I did though :)

(Gideon's POV)

The alarm rang throughout the prison, telling everyone to wake up. I groaned and crawled out of my cot. I had gotten my own cell, since the judge at my trial said that I was too dangerous for other prisoners to be around.

They were right.

I might be only 9 (A/N: I heard somewhere that Gideon's nine) but I am a force to be reckoned with. As I put on hair gel that I smuggled in, I thought back to my trial a few weeks ago.

(Flashback)

Everyone in Gravity Falls came to see the trial.

I tried to pull my old "adorable psychic" routine, but no one believed me.

"I didn't mean to hurt the Pines Twins!" I pleaded with big tears in my eyes.

Sheriff Blubs rose and spoke, "Lil' Gideon we have more than enough evidence of all the evil you've done in the town."

Dipper and Mabel Pines have both told us that from the moment they met you, you have been harassing them.

We have evidence that you plotted to steal the deed to the Mystery Shack.

You DID steal the deed to the Mystery Shack.

You lied to the whole town about being psychic.

You created a giant robot with the intent of hurting the Pines Twins

"And finally among the rubble of the robot crash, we found an AXE! Now, (chuckles) I want to know what you intended to with this axe."

I stammered and adjusted my tie. I forgot about the axe I brought that day. "W-w-well it was just to uhh… defend myself?"

The Judge stood up, "I think I've heard enough. Gideon Gleeful, I hereby sentence you to 5 years in jail!"

"B-b-but I'm only 9 years old!" I shouted angrily. "Can't you give me a break?" I put on the teary eyes as a last resort.

The Judge sighed. "I guess you're right. I'll be more lenient. You'll get 18 months in Juvenile Hall, instead."

I felt the blood rise up to my cheeks. "I CAN'T GO TO JUVENILE HALL!" I shouted. "I don't belong there with those LOSERS! I don't even need this hick town." I got up on the Judge's desk and shook his shoulders. "DIPPER HAS THE 3RD BOOK! I can't just rot in jail. I NEED to get it from him!"

At that point Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland grabbed me off the desk, and led me away.

(End Flashback)

I looked down at my dull gray prison uniform. 'It doesn't matter,' I thought. 'I'll get out of here soon and get my revenge on Dipper!"

I got some breakfast mush. I shuffled over to a corner table. I ate by myself every day. A lot of older kids beat me up, but most of them found out that I was actually a really good fighter.

Later on at night I laid on my cot. 'I wonder how Mabel's doing.' I thought. 'I hope she's ok.' At that point I noticed a little triangle carving on the cell wall.

"Was that here this morning?" I thought out loud. My finger grazed along the carving and suddenly, it glowed. The triangle grew bigger and bigger and sprouted tiny little flames. Suddenly I heard a familiar laugh echo in the small room.

That's when I realized who it was.

It was Bill Cipher.
