Mabel sighed, looking out a window when a newspaper slammed against it.
Local girl Candy Chiu is kidnapped. If seen, here is a picture of the kidnapper.
Her mouth hung open, it was the guy Norman she had been with Just earlier. Mabel looked at the kitchen exit as if to look to Bill's room even though it was nowhere in sight.
Dipper scoffed, "So... do you think he knew?" He asked, furrowing his eyebrows, looking back to the news paper.
Other articles showed, Teen boy kicks old lady, ruffian gets taken to juvy. All guys Mabel had flirted with or tried to date.
Mabel gulped, an uneasy look on her face, "I don't know whether to feel scared or amazed, I wanna go talk to him... come with me bro?" She asked, still feeling uneasy towards her Gother.
Dipper gave a small nod and smile, "Yeah..." He got up, cleaning their dishes, "let's go.." He bit his lip, his sister hanging onto his vest.
They had never seen nor really had any person conversations with the man and were rather anxious. He just seemed like this weird ax murderer guy in the woods. Considering all the deer memorabilia he had over the house they thought he was a hunter. Yet no gun was in sight; but that seemed like a good thing.
The younger twin knocked anxiously on the bedroom door, an unlocking sound came from inside. The door opening just so the twins could see part of his face, "Yes?" He raised his eyebrows looking down at the anxious, curious twins. Bill shot them a smile to try and calm their nerves.
Mabel tilted her head, the smile making her nerves worse, "How did you... know all those guys were bad?" She asked quietly, chewing on her hair to keep herself occupied.
Bill chuckled lightly, opening the door and exiting his room, "I'm just good at judging people. Why do you think I don't like you two hanging around outside too long? This town is dangerous." He nodded, putting his hands on his hips, leaning down to get better eye contact.
Dipper gulped, scared of the piercing blue eyes, it felt like they stabbed straight through his soul, "W-well... you shouldn't keep us locked up like this.. it's wrong. We need to learn not to get hurt on our o-own." He stood taller, though his lack of confidence was clear as day.
Bill's grin sent shivers down the twins' spines, "I agree... fine. Why don't you go out for a while huh? I'll work the gift shop, with Wendy, alright? Go be kids or whatever." He stood back up from leaning, gently shoving them out.
Mabel sighed when they got outside, "I thought that would've made me feel better but it didn't.. he's so creepy." She whined, shaking herself off as if shaking off the remnants of Bill, "blech." She blinked when birds came out of the trees in the woods.
Dipper looked at Mabel, "Let's check it out." He smiled, taking her arm, Wendy drove up with the golf cart, "hey Wendy! Can we have the keys?"
Wendy paused, "Don't hit any pedestrians..." She sighed and dropped the keys in Dipper's hand.
Almost driving away when he was stopped by the handy man, "This is in case you see a pinata.." He handed the twins a bat. The two raised an eyebrow before driving off. The strange thing was, Soos and Wendy seemed comfortable around Bill. Though both seemed to not hang around a lot, the two only there for mainly work. It was a shame, considering they seemed like nice people.
The twins drove into the woods, when they noticed a huge mass of what it looked like lawn gnomes chasing a girl, "Hey, hop on!" Dipper motioned, turning the golf cart around. Dipper's hat flew off as Candy jumped in the back in a panic. Warding off the gnomes until the golf cart made a slide almost into the Enigma Shanty.
The three made their way up from the crash, holding their heads. Dipper jumped at the sound of the door opening, Bill scowling at the gnomes. Dipper flipped through the journal, "Here's a page on gnomes.. ugh they don't have a weakness." Bill blinked at the sight of the journal, heart beating a bit faster. No, now was not the time for this.
"Give it up Candy! Be our Queen!"
Candy sighed, looking down at the ground, noticing a leaf blower. Mabel looked at the leaf blower as well, looking to Candy, "I'll be your queen!" Mabel shouted up at the gnome... her former boyfriend? Jeff hopped down to get close to her.
Bill angrily stomped over, "Get the hell out of here Jeff!" He pointed back to the woods, a gnome hit him in the face, "ugh.." He rubbed his cheek.
Mabel looked up to Dipper and Bill, "Just this once guys, trust me." They nodded, Mabel giving them a small smile, Jeff putting the ring on her finger, "you may kiss the bride."
"Don't mind if I do." Jeff chuckled leaning in. Bill was going to kill the thing, but was surprised by Candy's actions, turning on the leaf blower.
Candy grinned, "This is for lying to me... and this is for breaking my heart!" She shouted, shooting the gnome at the huge mass, it toppling to the ground. The gnomes scampering back in the woods.
Candy and Mabel laughed, "That was awesome! I'm Mabel.." She shook Candy's hand.
"I'm Candy, it's nice to meet you Mabel."
Mabel glanced at Bill as if to ask for approval, he gave a small nod. Candy left a few moments after, the three going inside, "Hey guys... I'm sorry for thinking you weren't looking out for me..."
Dipper smiled weakly, "Hey it's fine, you saved our butts back there... awkward family hug?" Held out his arms.
"No thanks." Bill laughed lightly, going inside.
Mabel laughed, "Awkward sibling hug."
Both spoke and hugged in unison, "Pat pat." Both went inside, Bill leaning against the counter.
He was tracing the lines on his cane, "Hey, so... I know I haven't been welcoming... and I know that I probably have to explain that gnome beast. But for now... let's call it a day... heck. You can even each pick an item from the gift shop." He shrugged, smiling.
The twins looking around, Dipper retrieving a Pine Tree hat, Mabel retrieving a grappling hook. The day ended with both twins in bed, Dipper writing in the journal he found. This journal told me there's no one in Gravity Falls you can trust, but when you battle a hundred gnomes side by side with people, you realize that they probably always got your back.
