Dipper's POV
SO after following the Beeping we found ourselves deep within the forest It felt like I had been here before... But I didn't have time to think about that right now
The Beeping kept getting louder and louder We saw something running through the bushes
"Dude! What was that?" Soos asks me
"I don't know... but we're gonna find out Come on Soos!"
We open the Bushes to see Tracks that look similar to mine
"Dude those look like your Foot Prints! Except... Four of them" He says
"...Be careful Soos we could be dealing with a Shape Shifter again" I tell him
"Oh crud not another one" He says in despair as we follow it for a while we finally come across
Two people who look identical to me... Well... one of them.. mostly does anyway
"AGH! Shape Shifters! Don't worry I'll beat their ends!" Soos says
The Two clones of me Scream "AGH!"
"No Soos Don't hurt them these aren't Shifters!" I explain to him "These are clones of me I created them to impress Wendy"
"Oh ...sorry dude" He says putting them down
Yes that's right These clones are none other than Dipper's Number 3 and 4
Dipper Number 3 looked roughly the same Dipper Number 4 However... Apperantly lost his hat? Now Dawning a Purple Sweater with a 4 on it instead
"...What happened to you guys? I thought you melted with the rest of the clones" I ask them
"The Clones melted? Oh dang... No we got lost we were trying to keep Robbie away from his Bike but yeah we got lost"
Dipper 3 Explains
Soos responds "What's with the Sweater?"
"Well someone had to fill the void of Mabel when we got lost out here all by ourself" Dipper 3 Explains "And it wasn't gonna be me"
"We flipped for it" Dipper 4 tells us
"How long have you been lost out here?" I ask them
"I don't know no idea... This Forest is kind of big..." Dipper 3 Says
"Still..i've never got lost out here before... nevermind I haven't got time to think about it right now listen guys Wendy's in trouble"
"WHAT?!" They both Scream at once
"Yeah Ok listen An Ancient Alien Power Core fell into Wendy not it's broken all across Gravity Falls and we can't get her back unless we put it together"
"Did it look kind of like a Crystal?" They ask me in Unison
"Yes... how did you know?" I ask them
"We saw it fall into an area that way!" They state putting to the left
"Thing is it's covered up by a little pond we can't get in there ourself or we'd melt But you could get it"
"Hmmm... I don't know" I state
"Dipper dude it's fine I mean if you can't trust yourself who can you trust? And I mean come on they wouldn't lie about this right? You said you created them to Impress Wendy they gotta care about her"
Soos says to me
"Alright But you're coming with us just to be safe" I tell them
"Fine by me" They reply in Unison again
So as we walk through the Shallow Pond Soos carries My Clones on his Back
"There it is!" I state picking up the Shard
"Hey dude what's that?" Soos says looking at a Large Crystal
"OH! I know i'd been here before these are the Size Altering Crystals Wow if the Power Core wasn't beeping i'd be afraid i'd grabbed one of them what a Coincidence they landed here too"
Just then I notice Dipper 3 and 4 Each grabbing a Crystal
"Guys what are you doing?" I ask them
"Nothing can you help us back over?" Says Dipper 3
"Sure dudes" Soos says
After we make it across the Shallow Water again Dipper 3 and 4 Start to pull a Crystal
"Thanks a lot guys It almost makes me sorry to do this" Dipper 4 says before pointing a crystal towards us
"WAIT GUYS!-" We then shrink to a small size
"Hey... this seems familar" Soos says
"WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?" I ask them
"Funny thing man we didn't get "Lost" In this Forest
We were searching searching for these Crystals
Come on man you're us figure it out
"Oh noo..." I state realizing their plan
"Wendy's too old for us man when Robbie caught up to us that's what he said of course he also asked us why there were clones of us but we didn't answer
We had Copies of the Journal in our Pocket you had it in your Pocket so we did too when you cloned us
Naturally We searched the Journals for Answers
What we found was the Answer Height Altering Crystals We've been here for Months trying to figure out how to get over there without getting ourselves wet
Thankfully us Clones are immortal so we never need to drink apperantly
With these Height Altering Crysals We can make ourselves appear older And once we find the rest of the Power Core we'll restore Wendy ourself
We'll be her hero The perfect opportunity to take the girl
"BUT THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING BY BECOMING OLDER YOU'RE GIVING UP EVERYTHING!" I state trying to reason with them
"I don't care we were created for the sole purpose of Winning Wendy over and that's JUST what were going do"
Immediately after this They Increase Each other's Size becoming much Taller
"Cya Wouldn't wanna be ya!" They state walking away
They took the Pieces of the Power Core
I have no way to track it down now... there's nothing I can do
