A/N: How're you guys doing? I've got some great feedback on the initial chapter, which is so super awesome! I've seen a lot of people do this idea, and I hope that you guys like what I'm doing with it. Aside from that, last chapter started off with Dipper, so I wanted this one to start of with Mabel. I really like the Telepathy Twins, they're fun to write.

She landed in the thick and vast forest surrounding Gravity Falls, and she landed roughly on her rear, causing her to rub it gently, while still in pain. Mabel winced as she tried to comfort her injury, all the while looking around, slightly in a confused daze from the machine. "This is…" She trailed, trying to gather her thoughts together. She spotted the familiar vandalized sign of Gravity Falls, though something felt off to her. "Gravity Falls?" She questioned herself as an uneasy feeling started to build up within her.
Mabel put a gentle hand on the tree next to her and pushed her body up slowly as she looked around. "What's this…Feeling?" She asked softly as she walked a step closer to the road. "What am I missing?" She asked herself rhetorically as she rubbed her now throbbing head softly. "Like half of me is…" She trailed as her eyes went wide with alarm as she darted her head around the forest. "Dipper?" She mumbled, "Dipper!" She repeated as her heartbeat started to thump louder and accelerated in her chest. "W-We can't be separated!" She yelled in concern as she started to walk slowly towards the road, "We haven't been since…" She trailed, knowing that being away from her brother for a long period of time made her…
"I'm not weak!" She yelled, thrashing her head violently from side to side, clearing the thought out of her head. However, this made her headache that she was experiencing increase its intensity as she flinched out in the pain. "Ouch!" She yelled out again as she comforted her screaming head with her two hands. "Alright, Mabel…" She stated in a confident voice, "You can do this…" She trailed, trying to relax herself at the situation, "Without Dipper," she mumbled in a slightly depressed tone as she reached the side of the road, scratching her leg, which was exposed to the thicket of thorns and sharp branches.
Halting her movement all together at the sudden pain she swallowed down the pain as she nodded, closing her eyes in the process as she began to walk again. "You're a big girl. You can get back to the Mystery Shack no problem-!" She yelped as she tripped over an exposed root of a tree that made her fall down behind a small bush that slightly obscured her vision from the road. "Oh!" She finished as she landed on the ground, knocking the wind out of her.
"I could have sworn the disturbance was in this direction," Dipper's voice came from the other side of the bush that Mabel was against. She perked up at the sound of her brother, though something seemed off about his tone. She narrowed her eyebrows and squinted her eyes to see through the small opening of the bush. Tyrone was flipping the crystal blue glass dagger up and down, catching it by the handle expertly each time. "Although…" Tyrone trailed with a menacing grin etched on his face, his emotionless light blue eyes lighting up with a dark twinkle in them, "I do so enjoy swearing," he stated as he shrugged.
"T-T-Tyrone?" Bill asked as he materialized beside Tyrone who gave the blue triangle a glance out of the corner of his eyes in an irritated way. At the sight of the male twin, the demon cringed as he placed his hands weakly in front of him, shaking his body in fear.
Tyrone rolled his eyes as he let the crystal blue glass dagger fall to the ground. As it did so, it landed right in front of the hidden Mabel, who placed a hand over her mouth to prevent her from screaming out in surprise or terror. She looked back up at the boy who seemed identical to her Dipper, but in many ways, was not. She shook her head slightly as her gaze shifted to the blue triangle. "Were you not assigned to my sister this afternoon?" Tyrone asked in a bored tone as he placed an unamused hand on his right hip.
Bill couldn't help but let the tears fall out of his lone eye at the question being asked, "Y-Yes, Tyrone. B-But she wanted to…" He trailed as he saw that Tyrone was already walking away towards the town. Bill jumped in surprise at being left alone and without being punished from the older twin of the two, as he quickly hovered closer to him to catch up to his speed. "To be left alone to her own-!" He continued in a weak tone, though he was interrupted.
"Whatever caused the abnormal disturbance is gone…" Tyrone trailed as he sighed, stopping and letting Bill almost crash into him as he did so. He glanced back to where he still felt a strong amount of energy as he peered into the woods. "Such a shame…" He stated as he placed out his left hand, palm up beside him, it quickly got ignited into a blue menacing flame. Bill jumped as he cowered away from his blatant use of magic in front of him, "I would have enjoyed cleaning its carcass out of its crimson red blood," he stated without any emotion at all.
Mabel and Bill both jumped in fear as Mabel tried to not make a sound that would alert him to her location. Bill glanced around and spotted the pink sweater of Mabel through the bushes. Their eyes met as Mabel looked into his eyes. Bill, who thought that it was his Mabel, quickly yelped as he ran to catch up with the already retreating Tyrone. "T-T-Tyrone?" Bill asked as he was ignored as Tyrone kept walking, his hands in his pants pockets casually, as though his left hand wasn't ignited with fire a minute prior.
Mabel watched as the two went out of her line of sight before scrambling out of the forest, small sticks and leaves had aligned themselves in her disheveled hair. "Tyrone…?" She asked, testing the name on her tongue to see if it was familiar to her in any way, shape, or form. She drew up a blank as she looked over at where they had went with a raised eyebrow as she scratched her head in confusion, "A blue Bill?" She asked as she crossed her arms. "What's going on here?" She asked as she looked from one end of the road to the next. "I've got a feeling I'm not in Kansas anymore!" She stated with slight fear in her voice as she started to walk backwards, towards where Tyrone had entered from. "One thing's for sure!" She stated as she pivoted on her feet, breaking out into a small jog to gain some distance, "I'm not going the way evil Dipper and depressed Bill went in!"
Dipper looked as he was brought up to the main floor of the Mystery Shack. It looked almost identical to his own…But he shook the thought away. This wasn't his world, this was Gideon's and Pacifica's. And if he didn't get home soon…He sighed as he brushed away his thoughts. "I'm worried about my sister…" He trailed as Pacifica let go of his hand with a raised eyebrow.
"You have a sister?" Pacifica asked in curiosity as she stopped walking where she was and sat, her legs crossed, in a second's notice. "Details. Spill," she demanded with a grin.
"A sister, huh?" Gideon asked with a raised eyebrow, though his was out of suspicion. He glanced over at Pacifica, "What a strange coincidence!" He deadpanned as Pacifica glanced at him out of the corner of her eyes and glared at him, signaling him to sit down, which he grudgingly did.
Dipper rubbed the back of his neck nervously, "W-Well, we're twins," he stated lamely, and he cringed knowing he wasn't exactly that much of an insightful guy.
Gideon felt his eyebrow being raised again slowly, "Identical twins?" He inquired.
"Yup," Dipper stated with a small nod, "We call ourselves the 'Mystery Twins!'" He said proudly as he placed his two hands on his hips before hunching his body over in depression, "I mean…That's what we used to call ourselves."
"What happened?" Pacifica asked as she rolled over on her stomach, placing her elbows on the carpet and her head in her hands. "What made you hold such a negative feeling towards her?"
Gideon grumbled, "What is this, Dr. Phillip?" He asked mostly to himself as he placed a hands behind him, shifting his weight to his arms.
Dipper sighed as he sat down as well, "I think it all started when I found this journal," he stated as he pulled out journal number three from his jacket pocket. Pacifica's eyes widened as she also got out her journal to compare it. Gideon sat up straight as he too, grew interested in the journal.
"It looks almost identical…" Pacifica trailed, admiring the detailing of each journal as he began to flip through the pages of each one, examining the different creatures in each one, along with the different notes and insightful descriptions. She stopped when she reached the middle, where a graph was drawn. "Wait a minute…" She stated as she flipped her journal so it could fit together with Dipper's. "It's a puzzle!" She deduced with a grin on her face as she looked up at Dipper.
He nodded grimly, "That's what started this mess," he said as he pointed to his journal and Pacifica's. "With the other journal, it makes a portal," he said with a stern tone.
Pacifica's grin immediately went away as she came to the harsh conclusion, "That's the portal that brought you here…" She mumbled as she saw the hurt in the boy's eyes. "Right?" She asked for clarity as he nodded stiffly. She glanced at the books and glared at them, "I don't really think that these illustrations are for a dimensional portal, though, Dipper," she stated as she looked around the room and found a lone pen that was covered in chocolate sauce. She felt a shiver run down her back as she picked it up without noticing the substance first. She then glared over at Gideon, who held his hands up defensively.
"I'm not in charge of my lazy uncle!" He stated in a rush as she rolled her eyes and ran over to the small circle they had created with their persons, the journals residing in the middle.
"See this symbol?" Pacifica asked as she pointed to the pine tree on Dipper's journal. "If this were a portal, then it would need to have an equal amount of pictures all around the framework, right?" She asked as she circled her own symbol of a pine tree that appeared once on her page. "Mine has one…" She stated as she looked back over at Dipper's journal and circled the two pine trees that appeared on one side of the portal. "Yours has two."
Dipper glanced between the two books as he narrowed his eyes in confusion, "What do you think this means?" He asked as Pacifica shrugged.
"It could mean a variety of things, really. I would need to acquire the other journal to deduce the rest," Pacifica stated as she placed a hand against her forehead in thought before sighing in a depressed manner.
"Why are you sighing?" Dipper asked as excitement started to get to him. "If we get the last journal, then I can go back home!"
Gideon huffed as he stood up with a frown, "I wish it would be that simple, Dipper," Gideon stated as he crossed his arms, "Only except the Telepathy Twins have it…" He trailed as the room was filled with a chilling atmosphere.
Dipper glanced between the two of them, each one becoming more nervous and weary by the second. "Oookay?" He asked, dragging out the 'O' as he did so. "What's so bad about the Telepathy Twins?" He asked, in utter confusion.
"Dipper!" Gideon yelled as he ran over to Dipper and placed a hand over his mouth. Dipper looked up with wide eyes. "If you say that phrase three times…" He trailed, sweat pouring off his body in buckets, "They'll appear!" He yelled as placed his hand down as Dipper nodded in understanding.
"But who are they?" Dipper asked as Pacifica and Gideon shared an uneasy glance with each other. Gideon nodded as Pacifica proceeded to the television and switched to a random channel, which was playing an advertisement:
"Ready to be mystified by the unknown? To watch breath taking and nail biting events that could send your grandmother to the hospital from cardiac arrest?" Asked the announcer in a game show host voice.
Dipper narrowed his eyes as he looked over at the two, "What is-?"
"Then come on down to the Tent of Telepathy!" The voice continued as it showed a large blue and white tent that was on the edge of Gravity Falls. He then paused when an image of Dipper showed up on the screen, only except, it wasn't him. "With chilling events each night, each one composed by Tyrone Gleeful!"
"That's me…" Dipper mumbled as he then looked back over at the two, "How do I-? Why am I-?" He asked, unable to form a coherent question at the shock.
"And the lovely Mabel Gleeful!" The announcer stated, as a picture of Mabel was introduced. Dipper stared at the two pictures on the screen and blinked in amazement and shock.
Pacifica turned off the television, tossing the remote control on the sofa nearby, as she walked over to where Dipper was standing, lost in his thoughts, "Tyrone…He looks like you…" Pacifica trailed as Dipper shook his head.
"B-But I'm not him!" Dipper confessed as Pacifica and Gideon gave him a small comforting smile. "I don't even know how to do things like that!" He stated as he started to pace around the room. "It seems like everything is somewhat opposite in this town…" He stated as he stopped pacing and looked around.
"What do you mean?" Pacifica asked as she sat down on the sofa. "What's it like where you're from?"
Dipper put a hand to his chin in thought, "Well…Where do I start?" He asked rhetorically as he looked at the two in front of him, "Pacifica, you're known as Pacifica Northwest, and you're part of the wealthiest family in Gravity Falls."
Pacifica broke into a hearty laughter as she was bent over, clutching her ribs. "Ha!" She yelled, taking in the information, "That's a good one!" She yelled as she wiped away a tear from her eyes. "Tell me another!"
"I'm serious!" Dipper yelled, clutching his hands slightly from frustration.
"Do me next!" Gideon said, slightly giddy about knowing what the other him was like. However, it a split second it changed, "On second thought…I don't want some weird dimensional monster to come and eat me in my bed tonight…" He trailed in slight fear.
Pacifica stifled a laugh, "You're probably like…" She paused, thinking about what the reverse Gideon would be like, she then snapped her fingers together as she came up with an idea, "The most popular guy in the entire town!"
Gideon's eyes lit up, "That would be kind of neat!" He yelled with a grin, it then slowly faded into a straight line, "If not completely irrational…" He mumbled as he scratched his head.
"Something like that…" Dipper mumbled with a smile on his face, "You're the talk of the town. In my world, you're Gideon Gleeful."
Pacifica's eyes grew wide with shock, "Shut. Up," she stated as she stood up from the sofa, "He's the most feared in all of Gravity Falls?" She asked, taking a few steps closer to Dipper.
Dipper shook his head, "I actually…Think that might be Bill," he said as Pacifica's and Gideon's jaws dropped in absolute shock.
"You're kidding!" Pacifica yelled as she ginned.
"Nope," Dipper said with a proud smile, popping the 'P' sound as he did so.
Gideon wasn't smiling though, "Wait…Bill is a demon here, right?" He asked in slight worry.
Pacifica sighed as she crossed her arms, as usual Gideon took the fun out of everything, "What of it?" She asked in an impatient tone as she rolled her eyes.
"What if the Bill that Dipper knows…" Gideon trailed as he looked up at the two of them, "What if he had something to do with how you ended up here?" He asked in concern as he looked back down at the journals. Pacifica and Dipper did the same, "Think about it, this wasn't meant as a transporter…It served another purpose…But what if the demon messed with it somehow?" He asked as Dipper began to get angrier at each question.
"I think he did…" Dipper growled out as he stomped his foot angrily on the ground, "He said he was 'always watching' us and knew what we were up to…" Dipper vented as he stopped and looked down at the portal design. "It's so like him to sabotage this!"
Pacifica watched as he threw his tantrum with concern, "Your sister…How far away was she from the portal when it turned on?" She asked as Dipper's eyes went wide. "It's possible…" She paused as he glanced towards her, "That she also ended up here as well."
Dipper sighed as he ran a hand through his hair, showing everyone his birthmark briefly as it flopped back down. "But if Bill did have something to do with this…" Dipper trailed as he sighed once more, "It means that even if we do get all the journals and make the portal…"
"It still won't be enough to get you back home," Pacifica finished as she shook her head, "I'm sorry, Dipper…" She trailed as she placed a hand on his shoulder to comfort him in a way. "But on the bright side, you can stay with Gid, at least until we find your sister!"
"Wait a-!" Gideon yelled out in a rage, "I didn't agree to-!"
"Yeah, yeah," Pacifica shooed him away with a wave of her hand. "We should focus on finding your sister. If she meets up with the Twins…" She paused as she could feel the nervousness overcome her, just by mentioning the word 'twins'. "That would be trouble."
Suddenly a man that reeked of alcohol walked in, though he was really tall and was wearing sunglasses. Dipper rose a curious eyebrow, but decided to stay quiet. "Hey, brat. I got free…Free tickets to this…Tent place," he said as he released three tickets down on the ground like he was dropping a mic. He plopped down on the ground and opened up another bottle as he started guzzling it down. "Take your two girlfriends over there to it…" He trailed in a sleepy tone as his head hit the wall.
"I'm not a girl!" Dipper yelled as he fisted his hands. "I don't even look like a girl!" He argued as Pacifica gave him a teasing smirk before looking over at her best friend.
Gideon picked up the three tickets and held them in his hand, "Please don't tell me that this is a sign…" He trailed in a worried tone.
Pacifica chuckled as she plucked the tickets from her best friend's hand, "I wonder if Mabel will flirt with you again…" She trailed with a teasing grin as she took off running out the door. Gideon glaring as he ran out the door after her yelling about how it wasn't funny.
"Oh, Mabel…" Dipper trailed as he started to head out the door as well, "Why do you have to be a trouble magnet?" He asked in worry as he started to hasten his pace to meet up with his newfound friends outside.
To be continued...
