Welcome everyone to my first Gravity Falls story. I was very late to the party, but once I watched Gravity Falls for the first time, I loved it! Now sit back, relax and prepare to laugh.

Gassed and Confused

Chapter 1

In the town of Gravity Falls stood the Mystery Shack. On the inside, the finishing touches were being made to a new addition to the shack.

"Ah, nothing like the satisfaction of putting something together with your own two hands." Stan smiled while looking at blueprints for smoothy machine. He lowered them to see what resembled some kind of elaborate metal trap, that had caught Soos by the neck, torso and legs.

"Ah Mr Pines, I think we skipped a step." He said.

Stan sighed. "Come on guys, the summers hot and people are gonna pay big money to cool down with top brand smoothies!"

"Okay heres everything wrong with that sentence." Dipper began counting them off. "This is not a popular brand, this is a knock off, of a knock off brand that you bought from a guy who was not only named Shifty, but literally had the word shifty tattooed on his body."

"Hey don't disrespect shifty." Stan said. "Hes sold me lots of quality stock over the years."

Dipper raised an eyebrow. "You mean like that air conditioner that spewed fire?"

Stan ignored the example. "Besides putting this thing together ourselves is gonna save us a pretty penny. All we gotta do is follow the instructions."

"I don't think these instructions are in human." Mabel said turning the assembly instructions upside down.

Suddenly Soos'es phone rang, "I better get that." He tried to shake himself free, but his phone fell out of his pocket.

"I got it," Mabel picked it up and answered it. "Hello! Soos'es phone, Mabel speaking." She listened for a moment, "it's the Gravity Falls Dentistry office."

"Oh uh," his eyes widened. "I told Wendy I'd pick her up from the dentist." He started struggling to get free. "Nope, this things got me good. Mr Pines could you pick her up?"

"I would, but in addition to not wanting to, I'm not allowed with in fifteen feet of the Gravity Falls Dentistry office." Stan explained.

"What?" Dipper raised an eyebrow. "Why?"

"Me and the dentist there had what the law calls an, altercation." Stan said with air quotes.

"What kind of altercation?" Mabel asked, matching the air quotes.

"Uh," Stan's eyes darted back and forth. "I'll tell you when your older."

"Thais is bad dudes. Her dad and brothers went out of town today, theres no one else to pick her up." Soos pointed out.

Dipper thought for a moment. "What if I just took the golf cart? I could pick her up and take her home."

"Hmm," Stan placed a hand under his chin. "If I were a more responsible guardian, I'd probably think this through a little more. But since I'm not," he dropped the keys into Dippers hand. "Have fun, and try not to hit any pedestrians."

"Will do," Dipper nodded before running out the door.

"Don't worry Soos," Mabel placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "We won't stop until we find a way to get you out of there." Then she noticed a green button, "hey whats this button do?" She pressed the button and gears were heard moving. A moment later a lever with a hook on it ripped Soos'es pants off.

"What was that ripping noise?" Soos asked. "I can't see from this angle. And is it just me, or did it get kinda drafty in here?"

"Must be you imagination," Stan assured him. "No more buttons," he whispered to Mabel. "Soos can't afford to lose anything else."

It didn't take Dipper long to get into town and find dentists office. He pulled up outside the and once inside he approached the receptionist at her desk. "Ah hi. Dipper Pines, I'm here to pick up Wendy Corduroy."

The woman looked up from her papers and raised an eyebrow at him. "You seem a bit young."

Before Dipper could respond, a door opened and the dentist walked out. "Did you say you're here for the Corduroy girl?"

"Ah yeah." Dipper walked over. "She a friend of-" he stopped when he looked in to see Wendy sitting in the dental chair and had the dentists assistant in a headlock.

"Come on Frank," she said giving him a noogie. "Say uncle."

"Stop that, and I told you my name is Carl." He tried in vein to break free from her grip.

"Dipper!" Wendy dropped the assistant to the floor, knocking over a tray of dental tools and metal gas tank. "Whats up man?"

"Ah, I'm here to take you home." He blinked. "Are you okay?"

"I'm awesome!" She smiled, her eyes were only half open. "Does anyone else smell hotdogs?"

"As you can see, shes still under the effects of the gas." The dentist explained. "Are you actually Dipper?"

"Ah yeah, that's me." He scratched the back of his head. "We're friends."

"Good enough for me." The dentist brought Wendy out of the office. "She is now officially your responsibility. But don't worry, the gas should wear off in a couple of hours. My advice is get her home and put her to bed so she can sleep it off."

"Got it," Dipper nodded before turning to Wendy, "Lets go Wendy, I've got the golf cart parked outside."

"Sweet," she walked past them. "Lets roll!" She grabbed the door knob, but couldn't open the door.

"It's a pull," the receptionist said.

"Its cool, I got this." Wendy waved it off before kicking the door open. "Told you I got this. Lets go," she stepped through it.

"Everytime we treat a Corduroy they damage this office." The dentist sighed.

"I'll send the bill to her father." The receptionist said.

"Still," he shrugged. "Its not as bad a when we have to sedate Manly Dan," he picked up a large mallet from behind the door.

"Are you saying you saying you use a mallet to knock out Wendys dad?" Dipper gasped.

"Don't be ridiculous," the dentist said before leaving the mallet down. "We use the big mallet."

Dipper blinked, then heard the sound of chairs being tipped over and something made of glass breaking. "I'd better check on that." With that he ran out of the office after her.

Not a bad start huh? Shouldn't be too long until chapter two is ready. Oh and if any of you are wondering about the cover image for this story, I bought it at Comic-Con. If you've never been to one, you have to go because it is AWESOME!
