"YES!" Ford shouted triumphantly as he got off the workbench.
Ken Takigawa looked up from his reading excitedly. "Is it ready?!"
"Here you go!" Ford handed him the device, which looked like a wristwatch. "With this, you can break the fourth wall for this special event! Just return it to me when you're done!"
Ken took a deep breath and put it on. As he did, he felt his mind expand. Nothing around the room changed, but he suddenly was able to look away from it all and see in the mind's eye an entire audience of readers. He raised a hand in salutation, and the words came out without him even thinking.
"Hey there, everyone! My name is Ken Takigawa, but you may know me as Kamen Rider Weird - the star of CastleofFiction's hit series by the same name. I know he's not that far in, but spoiler alert, I eventually get accepted - you can read all about that soon enough, as if that was gonnna be a surprise. But that's a story for another day. We're not here this week to talk about me…." he went to a window and pointed outside. "...we're here to talk about them."
Looking outside, he saw the redheaded Wendy Corduroy Pines and the goateed Dipper Pines, each with a Pitt Cola as they laughed together. Smiling to himself, Ken turned back to face the viewer.
"One of the great things about being Kamen Rider Weird is getting to know the Pines family. And it's worth noting that that couple is nothing short of miraculous. Dipper and Wendy have been through alot together, and you can only partly blame it on the paranormal activity of this town. I've heard a lot about the moments they've shared - I've even been around for some of them. This week we're going through eight of the most beautiful events in their long life together."
"I told you not to start without me!" A voice called, making Ken jump. To his side was the thirteen-year old redheaded progeny of Dipper and Wendy's marriage.
"Phoebe! Sorry, honestly. Did you get your - ?"
She held up her wrist to reveal her own fourth-wall breaking watch. "Yeah, I did. Where were we?"
Ken turns to face the audience again. "This is my co-host during all this, their daughter Phoebe Pines. This is probably a good time to remind you of a few things you need to understand before we begin. Phoebe?"
"Right" Phoebe turned her attention towards the audience. "So as you know, we are set 26 years into the future in a timeline not authorized by Disney or by Toei, and all the stories you hear took place sometime in between. Additionally, Castle of Fiction is not the only one to have written about our universe. This was all an offshoot of the world created by SuperGroverAway, and we acknowledge some stories written by ddp456 as true - the full list of which ones will be out someday, but for now we'll let you know when each one becomes important."
Ken butted in. "Both of them are amazing Gravity Falls authors, and we highly recommend you check out their work. But for now, Pheebs, what are we talking about?"
Phoebe took out a small piece of paper. "Well, we have eight themes to stick to - although I definitely know a lot of stories from Mom and Dad's time that fit these:
Meet the Parents
Time Travel
5 + 1
The gang finds out
Handcuffed/Bound Together
Fake Relationship
Naughty and Nice
...Wildcard?
Kn rubbed his hands. "This is gonna be fun. Let's get going!"
