Stan was currently talking to one of his new fishing buddies; trying to ignore the fact that his two nieces and nephews had just up and left him out to dry. "Look when you're threadin' the line-lot of people don't know this-but you wanna use the barrel knot." Stan said, "That's a secret to on fishing buddy to another!" It had turned out that the person he was talking to, was just a young boy, who was the son of a man named Hank. Though the boy looked to him nervously not exactly recognizing Stan's face.

Hank's son had stammered, "Uh, I, uh, who are you exactly?"

"Just call me your Grunkle Stan!" Stan said.

"Sir, sir, SIR!"

Hank's wife who stood on the same boat, had gotten Stan's attention. She had an angry look on her face, "Why are you talking to our son!?" She said, "If you don't leave right now, I'm calling the police!"

Stan laughed nervously, "Ha, see, the thing about that is-"

Stan had started the engine on his boat and drove away from the family of three.

"GO BOTHER YOUR OWN KIDS!" Hank's wife shouted.

Skyla once again watching the whole thing couldn't help but let out another groan. This time her sons had watched the whole thing that had just happened.

"Oh dad…" Skyla groaned, rubbing her eyes.

"I wonder where those three went anyway." Andrew wondered.

"Yeah…" Gary said, "Though I could hazard a guess to where they are now."

-Meanwhile-

The four of them were scattered around the area just doing their own thing after having a disappointed turnout of the legendary Gobblewonker. Soos, was taking pictures of beavers that, Mabel was drawing in the sand with a stick she picked up, Dipper was throwing stones in the water and Mira was playing another song on her ocarina as she sat by the water.

"What are we supposed to tell Grunkle Stan?" Dipper said to his sisters, "We ditched him over nothing."

"We just… Tell him the truth." Mabel said.

Mira continued to play on her ocarina just blocked out the conversation that Dipper and Mabel were having just now. She just seemed to forget everything that was happening and all that was around her, and the fact that the Gobblewonker that they found turned out to be a beaver that was chewing on a chainsaw. She just seemed to go into her own little world just thought about something entirely, like…

"Mi… Ra… Mi… Ra…"

Mira stopped playing her ocarina when she suddenly heard someone whispering to her; though it was faint, she heard it, in one ear and out the other. She looked to Dipper and Mabel who were still talking to one another, and then over to Soos who was still taking pictures of the beavers. She had soon realized that no one was hearing the faint whisper except for her, which she had found strange. She had tried to discard the thought by going back to play her ocarina until…

"Mi… Ra… enO yad... gnihtyrevE uoy wonk lliw egnahc…"

Mira once again jumped at the whispers and darted her head back and forth. She knew it was no one she recognized, though, she couldn't help but wonder who the voice belonged to exactly.

"Who… Who is that…?" Mira thought to herself.

Her train of thought was sidetracked when she suddenly felt the who ground shake. Dipper, Mabel and Soos felt it too and they couldn't help but jump. "You guys felt that too, right?" Mira asked. The ground shook even harder and they suddenly saw something swimming in the water. That was when they finally saw the silhouette figure of the Gobblewonker. Mira and Mabel couldn't help but scream in shock. Dipper on the other hand was looking rather excited.

"This is it!" Dipper said excitedly before pulling out a camera; he started to take pictures, though he soon realized that Mabel, Mira or Soos, weren't taking any pictures at all. "Guys what's wrong?"

The Gobblewonker dove in the water and then it resurfaced from the water, right behind Dipper. Mira shook and couldn't find the words to speak, she couldn't even move; that is until she felt Mabel move her by pulling her arm.

"Dipper…?" Mabel said, her voice shaking.

"Dude…?" Soos said pointing behind him.

Though Dipper didn't really seem to realize that the Gobblewonker was behind him, "Guys come on, it's not that hard. All you gotta do is point and shoot." Dipper said before turning around and took the picture, "Like this." It was only than till he realized that the Gobblewonker was right in front of him. The Gobblewonker let out a tremendous roar, causing the whole group to scream and for Dipper to drop his camera.

"RUN!" Soos exclaimed. The triplets didn't think twice about and had started to head for the hills; The Gobblewonker chased after them. The Gobblewonker pushed the tree out of the way, about to hit the triplets; though Dipper was quick on his feet and pushed them out of the way. They got up from the ground before a tree could fall on top of them, and they had managed to catch up to Soos.

"QUICK!" Mira shouted, "HEAD BACK TO THE BOAT!"

Dipper got out one of the spare camera's and as he ran he tried to take the picture of the Gobblewonker. Though he tripped on a rock and dropped the camera in the process. "NO! THE PICTURE!" Dipper yelled. He tried to go after the camera, but Mira stopped him. "DIPPER COME ON! WE HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS THAN THAT!"

Soos quickly picked up Mira and Dipper; Mira was on his back, while he was holding Dipper by the neck of his shirt.

He than said to Dipper, "Dude, if it makes you feel any better, I got a ton of pictures of those beavers!"

"WHY AND HOW WOULD THAT MAKE ME FEEL BETTER!?" Dipper exclaimed.

"GUYS LOOK! THE BOAT!" Mabel yelled.

They ran towards the boat and quickly jumped in. As soon as Soos, pushed the boat off shore, he jumped in the boat as well and ran to the steering wheel. Thus he started the boat and drove as far as possible from Scuttlebutt island with the Gobblewonker not to far behind.

Meanwhile Stan was busy tying a knot angrily pretty much at his limit. Skyla's boat and her kids were just beside him in their rowboat. "I take it finding a fishing buddy isn't going too good huh?" Andrew asked.

"Shudup." Stan mumbled to him.

"Why not just come fishing with us?" Gary asked Stan curiously, "It would be a lot easier that way."

Skyla answered for Stand, "Gary, I'm afraid it isn't that simple."

"This can't get any worse can it?" Stan said to himself rhetorically.

He had spoken to soon when they had suddenly heard-

"Can you pwease tell me mo'e funny stories pop pop?"

They looked and saw nearby that there were two children with their grandpa; the grandpa had a friendly smile on his face as he looked down at the two children. "Anything for my fishing buddies." The grandpa said, patting the child's head.

"And it got worse." Andrew said when he noticed that Stan was growling.

"Pop, pop, I just wewized that…" The child said before whispering, "I wove you."

"OH COME ON!" Stan exclaimed, "BOO! BOO!"

"Stop, you're embarrassing yourself dad." Skyla said.

The grandpa looked over in there direction, "Hey now! What's the big idea!?" He said.

"Maybe he has no one who wuv's him pop pop." The child said to his grandfather. Skyla flinched at that, and shouted, "HIS DAUGHTER IS RIGHT HERE! NOT INVISIBLE!"

Her son's immediately went to calm her down, "Mom, come on!" Andrew said, "There's no need to start anything."

"We don't want you to go to jail again mom!" Gary said. All four of them had suddenly the sound of a boat, driving at max speed. "Uh… Do you guys hear that?" Gary asked.

All of a sudden, Soos boat, with Soos himself, and the triplets drove straight past them, followed by a giant wave, which engulfed all four of them; the grandpa and children included. As soon as the water cleared they all had started to cough. "What in the world was that!?" Skyla exclaimed, immediately going to dry her hair. Gary looked over the rowboat, "That just now…" Gary said, "What on Earth are they doing?"

At that very moment, the triplets and Soos were pretty much in a panic by the Gobblewonker that was chasing after them right now. Soos was doing his best to dodge the people that were also on the rowboats that were right in front of them.

Mira looked at what was in front of them right now, "SOOS! LOOK OUT FOR THE BEAVERS!"

"We're still beavers!" They said in there own language.

The boat had ended up crashing into the old broken boat that the beavers were on; they ended up jumping onto the crew. "AH! BEAVERS!" Soos exclaimed. The beavers ended up biting Dipper's hat, some ended up biting Mira's head and arm, and on Mabel's arm as well. With great difficulty they had managed to get the beavers off of them and started to throw them towards the Gobblewonker. While they were busy dealing with the beavers however no one was steering the boat, and they ended up driving into oncoming fishers, tearing their rowboats in half, and causing some of them to go overboard, and with the Gobblewonker chasing them, it had created waves engulfing the people that were busy fishing, including Manly Dan and his sons. Than for some strange reason they had broken a glass window that two people were trying to carry to the lake shore.

"MY GLASS!" They heard someone shout.

Mabel quickly grabbed the steering wheel on the boat and was able to keep the boat steady. Eventually they turned the corner and saw what appeared to be a dead end.

"I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO!" Mabel exclaimed.

"I'M OPEN TO IDEAS!" Mira shouted holding onto what was provided. Dipper quickly pulled out the journal from within his vest, and quickly flipped through the pages, till he found a solution. "MABEL! GO INTO THE FALLS! I THINK THEY'RE MIGHT BE A CAVE BEHIND THERE!"

"MIGHT BE!?" Both Mabel and Mira exclaimed.

"JUST DO IT MABEL!" Dipper yelled to his sister.

Mabel drove straight to the falls, and they all couldn't help but scream when they went in. They suddenly flew off when they suddenly hit the shore; they flew towards the wall and slid down to the ground. As they got up, they heard a loud crash sound; they turned around and saw the Gobblewonker trying it's best to get out of the small cramped space in the entrance of the cave.

"It's stuck!" Mira said very relieved that the chase was over.

"Wait, it's stuck!" Dipper exclaimed with realization, he turned to his siblings, "Guys, this our chance!"

Dipper quickly ran to a higher place in the cave with his siblings and Soos following behind him. Once he was in place, he was struggling to look for a camera to take a picture. Though he couldn't find one, since most of the camera's went overboard from when the Gobblewonker chased after them. Mira then removed his hat, and there was one last camera.

"Always good to have a spare right?" Mira said with a smile.

Dipper smiled back and took the camera from where it sat. He had started to take pictures of the Gobblewonker as it had struggled to get out; Dipper couldn't help but smile and laugh as he took the pictures. Finally he was satisfied with the shots he had gotten.

"Didja get a good one?" Mabel asked Dipper.

Dipper smiled and replied, "They're all good ones!" The triplets couldn't help but squeal and hugged one another, jumping up and down as they had finally gotten a shot of the monster. Finally they could just call it-

BAM!

The Gobblewonker was hit by a large rock and electricity was heard. Wait, electricity? This left the triplets and Soos perplexed. Curious to why the Gobblewonker made such a sound, Mira had decided to investigate it along with Dipper. They had eventually climbed onto the Gobblewonker's back; as they climbed up, they heard what appeared to be a hollow sound. They had soon saw what appeared to be a door with a handle on it.

"What do you see up there?" Soos asked them.

"You have to come up and see this!" Mira said to Soos and Mabel.

Mabel and Soos had climbed up to where Dipper and Mira were and saw the door with the handle as well. Soos went ahead he turned the handle and it had opened. When it did open, it was revealed to be-

"Old Man McGucket?" Mira said with shock and surprise.

"Work the bellows and the-Eh?" McGucket said, finally noticing them after Mira had said his name, "Aww, banjo polish!"

Everyone else was shocked about see McGucket in there as well. "Wha-what-You-" Dipper stammered, "You made this?!"

"Yep! I made it with my own two hands, and blood and sweat!"

"But why?"

"I… I just wanted attention." The group looked at each other questioningly; they looked back to McGucket. "I… I'm afraid we still don't understand." Mira said.

McGucket replied, "Well, I just hootenannied up a biomechanical brainwave generator, and then I learned how to operate a stick-shift with my beard!"

"Okay, that's impressive in all." Mabel said, "But why did you do it?"

McGucket than explained it to them, "Well, when you get to be an old fella like me, nobody pays any attention to you anymore. My own son hasn't visited me in months! So I figured maybe I'd catch his fancy with fifteen ton aquatic robut! In retrospect, it seems a bit contrived. You just don't know the length us old-timers go through to spend quality time with our family."

Dipper, Mabel, and Mira couldn't help but feel a bit guilty, after thinking about their Grunkle Stan. He planned this whole fishing trip for them and how do they repay him? They just up and ditched him. The three of them took out their fishing hats that their Grunkle Stan had made for them and they couldn't help but feel a bit more guilty.

"Dude, I guess the real lake monster is you three." Soos said.

"Yeah… Thanks for rubbing that in." Mira said to Soos, though deep down she couldn't help but agree.

"Did you ever talk to your son again?" Mabel asked.

"No sir!" McGucket had replied before showing them pictures of what he was doing to get the people's attention, "I got straight to work on the robut! Like when my wife left me and I created a homicidal pterodactyl-tron, or when my pal Ernie didn't come to my retirement party, and I constructed an eighty ton SHAME BOT THAT EXPLODED THE ENTIRE DOWNTOWN AREA!"

At this point they all were speechless by what McGucket had told them. There was an awkward silence, till McGucket had broken it, "Well, time to work on my death ray!" With that he went to work on his latest project, "Any you kids got a screwdriver?"

Dipper looked at the camera, "Well, so much for the photo contest."

"You still have one roll left." Mabel said.

"What do you wanna do with it?" Dipper asked.

Mira gave out a small smile, "I think I know exactly what to do with it." She said.

-Later-

Stan had looked defeated and was slumped over his rowboat. Skyla was patting him on the back in a way to comfort him. "It's okay dad." Skyla said, "There's always next Family Fun Day."

"Yeah." Gary said, "There's always next time."

Soon enough they heard familiar voices call out to them, "Hey guys! Over here!"

They turned and saw the triplets and what was left of Soos, boat drive up to them.

"Kids." Skyla said, "There you are!"

"I thought you guys were off playing spin the bottle with Soos." Stan said still a bit mad.

"Actually we spent the whole day trying to find a legendary dinosaur." Mira said, while twiddling her thumbs.

"But we realized, the only dinosaur we wanna hang out with is you." Mabel said.

Skyla couldn't help but melt at that, though Stan was far less than impressed, "Save your sympathy! I've been having a great time withoutcha! I've been makin' friends, talkin' to my reflection- I had a run-in with the lake police!" Stan showed them an ankle bracelet, "Guess I gotta wear this ankle bracelet now, so that'll be fun."

Dipper then asked, "So… I guess there isn't room in that boat for four more?"

Stan glared at them, though his expression softened when he saw them put on the fishing hats that Stan had made them earlier. "Come on… You can't say no to faces like that" Skyla said referring to the triplets.,

Stan had asked them, "You knuckleheads ever see me hook with my eyes closed?"

"Five bucks says you can't do it!" Dipper beted before jumping into Stan's boat.

"Five more bucks you can't do it with your eyes closed!" Mabel said before jumping into Stan's boat as well.

"All the while I'm playing the most annoying song I can think of on my ocarina!" Mira added, before joining her siblings.

Stan smiled at this, "I'm liking those odds!"

Soos had soon joined them on the boat; though it wasn't long till Stan and Skyla noticed that Soos shirt was ripped up (Because of the beavers from before).

"Okay Soos, I have to ask you, what happened to your shirt?" Skyla asked.

"Long story dude." Was all that Soos replied. Skyla felt Dipper tugging on her shirt; she saw him holding a camera to her. "Do you mind?" Dipper asked with a smile. Skyla seemed to have read his mind and smiled, "Not at all." With that, she took the camera from Dipper and had everyone including her sons squeeze in to get a photograph.

"Okay!" Skyla said, after making sure everyone was in, "Everyone say fishing!"

"Fishing!" They all said with a smile. With a press of a button the picture was taken and it was a perfect shot. Throughout the rest of the day, it was spent catching fishes and or releasing, as well as stealing fish from Stan's "fishing buddies" and running from the police. All in all, the Pines family had the best family fun day of their lives.

With the day finally over they were the last ones to leave the lake. Gary had passed out from the fun as did Andrew and they were both sleeping in the backseat of Skyla's car. Dipper and Mabel were in the back seat of their Grunkle Stan's car; they were reviewing the pictures that they had taken for the day. All the while Stan and Skyla were getting everything into their cars with Soos help.

Mira sat just near the shore watching the sunset as she played on her ocarina. She had to admit, despite the wild goose chase with McGucket's Gobblewonker, today turned out better than she had expected. She enjoyed herself really, and she was sure that her siblings did as well. She was looking forward to whatever Stan and Skyla had planned for days like this.

"Come on, try and catch me!"

Mira had suddenly jumped at the sounds of faded laughter and voices. She stopped her ocarina and looked around. That is until she caught a glimpse of what appeared to be two young boys, who had her back turned to her; she looked at them curiously. She watched as they would disappear and reappear from her sight. They kept running around a peculiar old run down boat of some kind which she found a bit strange; This pattern kept going for a while, until…

"Sgniht egnahc… Yeht syawla od…"

She had soon felt her head start to hurt, and she images through her head once more. Though once again they went by too fast for to comprehend what they were. She did however catch a glimpse of the man she had seen in her dreams before. Though she couldn't tell who he is, she just somehow… Has a connection with him, though she didn't know why exactly. However no matter how fast she had tried to run, he was always out of reach. That was something that had happened in her dreams, she didn't know why but it did.

She was soon snapped out of her trance when she heard Stan call out to her, "Hey Mira! We're all set, come on so we can get home already!"

Mira looked back and noticed that the boys she had seen before were gone, and her head had stopped hurting. She couldn't help but wonder what exactly was going on and who those two boys were. "Mira come on!" She heard Skyla shout, "Did you go deaf or something, it's time to go!"

"I-I'm coming!" Mira said, stammering a little.

She got up from the dirt floor and ran over to them. Thus, Stan, and Skyla drove the kids home to call it a day.
