Chapter 2

"I want the girl," Pacifica supplied, stepping down from her stool to get closer to Gideon.

"I want the boy and the thriving business, and I have a plan." Gideon said.

"I'm listening," Pacifica went on.

Suddenly, someone moved the coat rack Dipper was perched in. It started moving farther and farther away from Lil'Gideon and Pacifica.

"No!" he whispered, and then spotted a chef's cart near Pacifica's chicken's bed. He thought that maybe he could make it.

He rolled out of the coat rack, and onto the chef's cart. The cart began to slide back, and hit Pacifica's bed with a thump.

The conversation stopped.

"Oh my, food!" Gideon marveled.

"And then," Gideon continued, his mouth suddenly full. "Mabel will be so devastated that she'll shut everyone out." He gulped. "Then I can get the boy without any distractions. Stanford Pines will look for Dipper, and then I get the Mystery Shack!"

"What do I get out of it?" Pacifica snapped.

"Um, power over Mabel." Gideon said in a voice like: 'Duh, it's obvious'.

"Deal." Pacifica agreed.

Danget! Dipper thought. He had missed the bulk of the conversation. He had missed the part where Gideon explained his plan. Now, Dipper would be blinded in this situation.

But what were they saying about "Mabel will be so devastated"?

Mabel!

Dipper had left her with her friends, but with her short attention span, she probably moved on to something else.

Dipper stuck his hand out of the cart and began to paddle his way away from the table Pacifica and Gideon were at.

He must've hit a wall, or something, because the cart suddenly stopped. Dipper was about to get out when a size 10 kids dress shoe poked out into the fabric hanging from the cart.

Great. Dipper thought. Gideon stopped the cart! He knows I'm here!

Lil'Gideon shoved the milky white fabric aside and poked his head in as if he were playing Peek-A-Boo. But creepier.

"Why, Dipper-"

"You're not getting away with anything!" Dipper yelled. He pointed an accusing finger at Gideon. "I know what you're planning! And it's not gonna happen!"

Dipper slid out of the other side of the cart, accidentally ramming into Pacifica, and getting a bead necklace latched on him in the process. He managed to escape (although the band was holding a death grip on him), and was running towards the stage.

He ripped the necklace off, spilling beads everywhere. Dipper turned around to watch Lil'Gideon and Pacifica try to step their way through them, then fail and fall.

He wedged himself between two curtains that were drawn (they were behind the main curtain) and began to climb all the way up to the rafters.

Maybe he could wait for Gideon and Pacifica to look for him, and then continue on with their lives. After all, the beginning portion of the pageant (when all the pets and their owners take the stage, and when they're introduced, their pets do a trick, and they exit the stage) was about to start.

Dipper watched the tiny evil duo search for him for 10 sad minutes.

Then, Gideon spotted Dipper. He jumped and shouted and showed Pacifica, who did something small, like smirk or shrug or something.

As they neared the curtains, Dipper stuck his tongue out. They couldn't get up there! No offense to Gideon, but he wouldn't be able to support his body weight, and Dipper couldn't imagine Pacifica climbing a curtain.

Then, Gideon did the unexpected.

He pulled a string, and all of the curtains fell, officially starting the show (without notice) and cutting off all Dipper's ways of getting down.

The contestants along with their pets ran onto the stage, waving to the crowd, and the host jogged out.

As the host introduced himself, Dipper saw Mabel notice him up in the rafters. He might have even heard her gasp.

She frantically tried to scoot over to the wings to tell someone to help her brother.

Dipper couldn't steal the attention. Mabel really wanted to win the competition. If the police had to be called to rescue him, the pageant would be cancelled.

He quickly eased over the various poles to position himself above Mabel.

Since she was moving, it wasn't easy, but he dropped the band he still randomly had from the necklace, and it landed in Mabel's hand.

She looked up and Dipper slid his hand several times horizontally across his throat. He then pointed to himself, and gave her a thumbs up.

I'm okay.

Mabel raised her eyebrows.

You sure?

Dipper pushed the air in front of him as if to push Mabel to continue.

You go do it.

She didn't give him an answer when the announcer called her name and Waddles.

The crowd cheered as Mabel walked up to the front of the stage. When she reached it, she just stood there with Waddles.

Time began ticking for Waddles to do a trick. Instead, Mabel snatched the mic from the announcer, receiving squeaky feedback from the mic.

"I have something to say." She said, and looked up straight at Dipper.
