'Ah, Gravity Falls. This hustle and bustle of mysteries. The go to town of weirdness. Most people would dismiss this back woods town as a small tranquil place but when you're being chased by a 40m high monster that peaceful image has suddenly been burnt, run over and eaten by a goat at this point.'

'Nothing really changes when you're a Pines, twin at your hip, running from danger, adrenaline pumping through your veins-'

'Dipper! If you haven't noticed we're currently running from a hoard of burnt tree spirits get you shit together!'

Turning towards Mabel with a spiteful look, 'I was only trying to commentate on the situation'

'Yeah well this ain't Dipper's guide to the unexplained anymore, this is flee as fast as you can without trying to get killed whilst roots with thorns spring form the earth'

Staring into the sky thoughtfully, 'Sound like it would make a good show'

'Now is not the time for your nerdiness!'

Sprinting full pelt they barrelled past thorns and ducked under trees, eventually bursting through the tree line at top speed until they slammed into the shack door breaking it over. The sweeping mass of death spirits slammed into the magical unicorn barrier and dissipated,

'IF THAT WAS THE DARN DOOR AGAIN, DIPPER I'M GOING TO THROUGH YOU IN THE BOTTOMLESS PIT'

'Oh no, I'm so dead'

'Yeah you're dead'

'Thanks for the comfort Mabel…' Sarcasm dripping in his voice he looked around rapidly for a way out of the oncoming storm approaching his way.

'Anytime Broseph, just don't expect me to come on another expedition, I do want to live till my 40's.' Mabel walked off to the counter and sat on the stool pretending to read a magazine about 'The Pig's Closet' catalogue. Guess it was for Waddles.

The thudding footsteps of Grunkle Stan was nearing closer. In a last ditch attempt Dipper rushed towards the vending machine and punched in the code.

'Oh no you don't mister, get your butt here now or so help me I will find Ford and tell him to take away your journals'

'Nice try Grunkle Stan' The door slammed shut with snap as Dipper's voice faded away.

'Oy what I am going to do with that kid.'

Mabel grew a sly grin on her face that stretched from ear to ear.

'Oh no, I know that face'

'Do you my dear Grunkle, because it seems to me you don't know the new code to the vending machine' Giggling she stretched comfortably on the stool behind the counter and rested her feet on the register.

'Well, Nerd 1 and Nerd 2 down there still haven't told me, I thought for sure those death threats and back hair I sent them would cause 'em to snap but they are relentless as they are dumbless.

Sharpening her fingernails she looked off into the distance absentmindedly 'Well Grunkle Stan it appears you are in need of some service'

'You darn right… Wait… okay kid what do you want from me.'

'Oh you know what I want'

'Kid I'm not getting you a scooter, for the last time you already destroyed all of the bikes.'

'Pfft, they were already busted'. Dismissively waving her hand in the air.

'By the time you were done, you couldn't even weld the parts back together!'

'My offer stands, take it or leave it old man'

'You drive a hard bargain kid. I'm so proud' Grunkle Stan silently shed a tear.

'Grunkle Stan, are you crying?' Mabel began to furiously giggle.

'Over all this spilt money yeh! Now what's the combination?' Plating his hands eagerly on the desk he lent in as Mabel whispered in his ear.

'1,2,3,4'

'You're kidding me…'

'Noooppe, I'll expect the scooter by next week'

'They learn how to swindle so fast'

*sigh* 'Thanks sweetie'

With Mabel looking triumphant and proud of her devious skills Stan paced over to the vending machine and punched in the code quickly. The door swung open with a loud creak and he raced down the stairs.

'HEY GOOFUS AND OLD-GOOFUS, GUESS WHAT I JUST UNLOCKED'

Soos entered into the gift shop with a recent group of tourists and walked up to the counter before straightening his fez in the mirror.

'We got a new batch here dawg, full house'

'Cool Soos, guess what I tricked Stan into buying me'

'Oh dude you finally did it! You got the scooter, congrats. The apprentice has now become the master, teach me your ways wise one.' Soos bowed in a respectful manner, kneeling as I a knight would do to his King.

Mable leaped into a victorious stance on her stool punched her fist into the air in triumph, 'The Swindler, has been swindled!' A bunch of tourists gave strange looks to the ongoing conversation but resumed to flicking Mr. Mystery bobble heads that always screamed like sandpaper. 'BUY MORE MERCHADISE.'

Soos caught sounds of distant screams coming from Ford's basement, 'Uh dude, should I be worried about that?' Glancing every so often, worriedly at the open door.

Rolling her eyes in a dramatic motion 'Psshh, naw I'm sure they're sorting it out between themselves as they speak.' Distant sounds of smashing and laser fire followed. 'See, working it out'.

'You really no how to light the fire hambone.' Casually commenting Mabel's ability to cause restlessness between the 'mature' ones in the Pines family.

'Hah, we're the Pines family; disturbing the peace is what we do.'
