Chapter 1 – Gravity Falls

Iggy found himself in a very bizarre situation. He was alive. HE WAS ALIVE!

But he shouldn't be. He died. Or at least he remembered he did. He used his Stand, The Fool, to save the life of Polnareff from being consumed by the void created by Vanilla Ice's stand Cream; he had used the last of his strength after being kicked repeatedly which broke many of his bones and pierced one of his lungs.

So by all intends and purposes he should be dead.

Except he was not.

In fact he was perfectly fine! He even had the front paw he had lost in his fight against the birdbrain bastard Pet Shop.

So what now?

After recovering from the shock of being alive, Iggy wondered what to do next? Looking at his surroundings he could tell he was no longer in Egypt if the rest of the Crusaders; instead he was in some sort of forest surrounded by trees he didn't recognized since he had lived mostly on the streets of New York.

In other words, he was lost god-knows-where in the middle of some forest with no way to find or contact the Crusaders or the Speedwagon Foundation. He was all on his own.

Despite the utter confusion of his "resurrection" and the frustration of being lost, Iggy quickly tried to get over it. Maybe, just maybe, this was a blessing in disguise. He could try and get back to his dream of living a comfortable and carefree life.

Sure he would miss the ragtag group of companions and hoped that they managed to kick Dio's ass for him and Abdul. But now it was time for him to live his life like he wanted.

But first he needed to get out of these woods.

[ÔÔÔ] [ÔÔÔ] [ÔÔÔ] [ÔÔÔ]

Iggy used his nose to try and find the scent of a settlement nearby. Maybe he could find a house from where to steal food since he was quite hungry. It didn't take long for him to finally get a whiff of a well-known smell: a human.

And where humans are, so is food.

Iggy quickly dashed towards the origin of the smell and soon after he found what the human that the scent belonged to. It was a human kid. It was a boy with messy short hair underneath a cap. He was wearing a navy blue hooded vest and shorts.

The dog figured that maybe this kid if this kid liked dogs, maybe he could get food out of him and if that wasn't the case he could still follow him to where he lived and found something to eat there.

Iggy approached the boy slowly, who was currently engrossed in a book of all things, thinking about how to act to get something out of him. Once he was near enough, Iggy barked softly not wanting to scare the kid off.

Startled by the sudden sound the boy jumped slightly as he put the book away to check for the source of the sudden noise. "What was that?" the boy asked out-loud before his gaze fell upon the Boston terrier. "Oh it was just you."

Iggy thought to himself. 'Of course it was me! Who else could have been you blockhead.'Despite his annoyance towards the low intelligence of humans, Iggy decided to play it safe and act "friendly."

"Wow there!" The boy exclaimed as the dog barked happily and wagged his tail while jumping at him. "Where did you come from little guy?" He asked as he petted the dog. "Are you lost of something?" but after taking a good look at it he noticed its lack of a collar. "Are you all on your own?"

'Why are you asking me? I'm a dog! Is not like a can answer you dolt!' Despite his thoughts Iggy moaned to earn some sympathy from the kid.

Then from behind a log came the unexpected shout from another human kid "HALO! What'cha doing there?!"

"Ah!" Well, unexpected for the boy cause Iggy had noticed the smell of the second human coming around for some time now. But since the second kid, a girl, had the same types of smells as the boy, the dog realized these two were related to each other.

"Aww! It's a doggy!" Unlike the boy, who was cautious in his approach to the dog, the girl jumped at it and started it petting it very excitedly. Iggy was this close to say screw it all and proceed to chew on the girl's hair and fart on her face.

"Mabel! You're petting him too hard!" The boy said noticing the annoyed looked on the dog's face. "He doesn't like it."

Fortunately for the girl, she was smart enough to heed her brother's words, otherwise Iggy would've snapped. "Hey Dipper! Can we keep it? Can we?"

"I don't know…" Dipper, as Iggy now recognized him, said with hesitation. "I don't think Grunkle Stan would allow us to keep a pet."

"Come on, bro-bro! He loves us! Of course he's gonna let us!" Mabel responded without any doubt of her claims. "Besides he let Gompers around the shack."

"Gompers?"

"You know, the goat that tried to eat my sweater."

"You already named him?" That was a rhetorical question. Of course she'd already named the goat; she was Mabel after all.

"Ooh! What should we name this doggy?" She asked excitedly, she had dozens of names already in mind.

"I'll think of one. That is if we get to keep it." Otherwise what was the point? Dipper then looked at the black and white dog and asked him. "What do you say boy? Wanna come home with us?"

"I'm just going for the food." Iggy barked knowing they wouldn't understand a word. And if the food sucked then he would high-tail out of there and look for a better place to mooch off.

"I'll take that as a yes." Dipper nodded and the three of them walked out of the woods and return home.

[ÔÔÔ] [ÔÔÔ] [ÔÔÔ] [ÔÔÔ]

The kid's home looked like a dumb, and thanks to his incredible nose it smelled like one too. Their so called house was a place called the Mystery Shack and was filled with all sort of strange and bizarre "attractions" that made no sense to the dog. Had it not being for the fact that the girl, Mabel, had giving him lots of food, he would've bailed right away.

Of course, the adult in charge of the kids, an old man they called Grunkle Stan, made a fuss about bringing in strays and wasting money by giving Iggy some food. But after Mabel managed to talk the old man down he was allowed to stay only if he didn't make a mess inside the house. Despite being allowed to stay, that act alone wasn't enough to endear the old man to Iggy, who planned to leave a surprise in the guy's hat if he ever dared to cross him again.

So now, Iggy was laying down on the carpet in front of the TV, currently off, inside the living room where the two kids were talking about the red book he had seen in Dipper's hand earlier that day. Iggy yawned feeling somewhat sleepy after getting his fill of food, not really paying attention to whatever the kids were saying.

The dog was prepared to take a nap until the sound of a door bell ringing made his ears twitch.

"Who's that?" Dipper wondered out-loud. He had been in the middle of his explanation about his findings in the old journal he had found in a secret compartment in the woods.

"Well, time to spill the beans." Mabel answered as she knocked a can of beans that where on top of what looked like a dinosaur skull that was next to the chair for some reason. "Whoop. Beans." She giggled at her own little joke before continuing. "This girl's got a date! Woot woot!" she announced loudly while flailing her arms around.

'Does this girl have to be so loud all the time?' Iggy thought to himself. He was trying to take a nap for goodness sake! Thankfully said girl ran out of the room and the dog could have a moment of peace and quiet. Yet not a few seconds after the loud girl went away, the old man came walking by.

"Be sure to give that dog a bath. I don't want the smell of dirty mutt all over the house." Stan said looking at the dog who was giving him the stink eye.

"Sure Grunkle Stan." Dipper said as he put away the journal not wanting Stan to know about it.

Meanwhile, Iggy grimaced. Just for that, the old man was going to get a little surprise on his hat.

"Hey, family! Say hello to my new boyfriend!" Mabel came back announcing loudly the arrival of said boyfriend.

"'Sup?" A hoodie wearing teen said as he walked in.

"Iggy didn't need his extraordinary intelligence or his Stand power to figure out there was something very wrong with this new arrival. For starters, he didn't smelled human at all. Not to mention, there was five different non-human smells coming from him/they.

Whatever it was, it didn't look or even smell dangerous so it was none of Iggy's business.

[ÔÔÔ] [ÔÔÔ] [ÔÔÔ] [ÔÔÔ]

The next day, Iggy despite his plans to run off in search of a city, was compelled to stay around the so called Mystery Shack. For once, the kids fed him human food instead of giving him atrocious dog food. Heck, the loud girl sneaked him a few pieces of candy; it wasn't coffee-flavored gum but the gesture was appreciated.

Second of all, despite being a city dog all of his life Iggy could see the appeal of the fresh air and big open spaces that the woods around them provided. That and quiet sounds of the forest were much more welcome when trying to nap than the constant earsplitting noise from the city.

Maybe, just maybe, staying around wouldn't be so bad at all. That way he could get started in his dream of living a peaceful and carefree life, and not worry about having to go to get drag off to crazy adventures fighting Vampires or Stand Users.

Iggy was laying, again in the living room, in front of the turned on TV that "someone forgot to turn off", or at least that was what the humans would believe instead of Iggy using the remote to turn it on.

Sometimes making others believe he was just a simple dog made things easier for him. Unknown for him, this simple blessing he took for granted wouldn't last much longer.

"Oh my god! Mabel!" Dipper came running from downstairs looking awfully scared. Once he reached downstairs, he found Iggy giving him a questioning look. "Boy have you seen Mabel?"

Of course he did. He had seen the girl walk out of the house with the strange thing that didn't smell human. Even so, why did kids asked questions like this to dogs? They could never answer back. "Are you dumb or something?" Iggy barked back.

"I need to find Mabel! She's in terrible danger!" Dipper continue sounding honestly distraught. "She's gonna get eaten by a Zombie!"

'Wow, wow, wow, wow! Hold it right there!' Zombies? Where those even a thing in this place? Well, since Vampires did exist then Zombies weren't that far behind. Iggy recalled Mabel's "boyfriend" and how he didn't smell human, but that didn't meant he was a Zombie. For once, he didn't smell dead, rotten or evil. So the possibilities of it being a Zombie were almost zero.

Despite knowing this, Iggy couldn't exactly tell that to the boy, mostly because he was a dog and couldn't speak.

"I don't know where she is!" Dipper continued with his scarred rant. "Can you help me find her boy? Can't you smell where she is?" He asked hopefully.

'He must be pretty desperate to be begging a dog for help.' Iggy thought humorously. Still he felt somewhat sorry for the boy. It was clear by his whole demeanor that he really cared for that sister of his and wanted nothing bad to happen to her; something Iggy could respect.

So Iggy decided to humor the boy; only because he liked Dipper for feeding him, providing him with a nice pillow for Iggy to sleep on and for not listening to Stan about giving him a bath; that last one he really appreciated.

Besides, what was the worst it could happen?

[ÔÔÔ] [ÔÔÔ] [ÔÔÔ] [ÔÔÔ]

Oh boy! how did he regret those words now!

Things certainly got progressively worse. Even thought at first it looked like it wasn't a big deal.

Dipper and Iggy borrowed a golf cart from a teenage girl named Wendy and drove into the woods in search of Mabel. That was the easy part.

Next, they arrived at a clearing and found out that Mabel's supposed boyfriend was in fact 5 gnomes on top of each other pretending to be human in order to snare Mabel and have her becoming their gnome queen and marry 1000 gnomes. That was weird but nothing Dipper, least of all Iggy couldn't handle.

After rescuing Mabel and driving away in the golf cart, both Iggy and Dipper thought that was the end of it all.

Oh how wrong they were!

Because then the Gnomes went after them, using some kind of strange ability to stack on top of each other to form a giant monster that chased after them keeping up with the golf cart no problem. The chased ended when the giant monster threw a whole tree at them causing then to veer off and turn the car upside down right back to where they started, at the Mystery Shack.

Dipper and Mabel were cowering underneath the imposing shadow of the monster while Iggy was crouching down baring his teeth.

Just how things got out of control like this? One second Iggy was contemplating about the new life he could start in this place and the next he was facing against a giant monster. It was like Egypt all over again!

And just like with Egypt, this confrontation had nothing to do with him! The gnomes only wanted the girl; they didn't care about a dog like him. So why did this even matter to him? Why did he had to risk his life for the sake of others?

Because…

Because then, he would be proving that bastard Vanilla Ice right; that he had no resolve nor a proud soul. Worst of all he would be insulting the memory of Abdul who sacrificed his own life to save Polnareff and him.

"It's the end of the line, kids! Mabel, marry us before we do something crazy!" The Gnome leader threatened from on top of the giant monster.

If Iggy bailed now, it would be an insult to Abdul, Polnareff, Kakyoin, Joseph and Jotaro, whom all risked their lives for the sake of others and to defeat evil. If Iggy bailed then he could never claim to have any honor or a proud soul or even have the right to call himself a Crusader.

A Stardust Crusader!

Iggy barked as jumped in between the kids and the monster. "I don't know if can understand me! But leave these kids alone or you'll regret it!"

Apparently, Gnomes could not understand dogs. "Tell that ugly mutt to move out of the way or will squash it like a bug!"

Well, can't say Iggy didn't try to warn them. And so, Iggy called upon the power of his stand, The Fool, that allowed him to control dust, dirt and sand to create a patch of unstable ground below the monster causing it to lose its balance.

"Hey! What's going on!?"

Before they had any time to recover, Iggy used the dirt around to give and actual physical body to his stand which took an appearance of a mammal-like beast mixed with a car.

Both Dipper and Mabel stood astonished as the dirt around the Boston terrier moved on its own and formed a strange dog-like creature with muscular, pawed front legs and a car chassis, with thick wheels for hind legs. And before any of them could say or do something, both Iggy and the strange creature jumped towards the monster and tackled with enough forced forcing it to crumble in a rain of gnomes. Then as fast a car, Iggy and the being/vehicle speed around sending the little gnomes flying away back into the woods while others just ran off scared.

Once he was finished Iggy call off his stand making it crumble into a pile of dirt.

"Oh my gosh, Dipper! Did you see that?!" Mabel yelled awestricken by what she had seen.

"H-How did you do that?" Dipper was both happy that the gnomes were sent away but at the same time he was overwhelmed by what he had just witnessed. "What kind of dog are you?"

Knowing that the jig was up and that he couldn't keep pretending he was just a dumb dog, Iggy did the unthinkable and came clean. Using his stand he wrote down a message on the ground.

"Hello, Dipper and Mabel. My name is Iggy and I'm a Stand User."

He knew that letting the kids know about his intelligence and powers would put an end to his silent and carefree life he wanted so much. Then again, who knows what might happen? Maybe things will finally become normal for a change.

Or was this the start of another Bizarre Adventure?

Author Notes:

Because I'm already writing a JJBA/Gravity Falls Xover, so why not start there?

So what inspired this piece besides the aforementioned fic? Well, I always thought that in Gravity Falls Dipper lacked a friend. Sure he is supposed be awkward and what not and that he has Mabel, Soos, Wendy hanging around. But he never had a friend that was HIS friend, you know what I mean? And the idea of him having a pet just like Mabel has Waddles intrigued me. So what better pet/friend than a dog that is as smart as he is and controls sand to boot.

Again, if you like any of the ideas presented here, feel free to use them on your own stories and if you have suggestions as to what series Iggy should visit, please leave a comment or a review!
