Chapter Four. (You don't know how long it took for me to find a way to upload this. Enjoy.
Dipper's Pov
Wendy, Soos, Mabel, and I sat in the living room while Stan was outside scamming people into putting money into a bag.
"The tiger was badly injured in the explosion." The tv said showing a tiger. "But the doctors were able to save him. With a fist!" I showed the fist on the tiger punching the tiger. "We'll be right back after these messages." It showed a picture of doves flying out of hair.
"Hey." Soos said."This is the commercial I was talking about."
"Do you hate yourself? Are you completely miserable?"
"Yes!" A man on the T.V. cried.
"Then you need to visit Gideon."
"Gideon?" I ask questioningly.
"What's so special about him?" Mabel asked. Scooting closer to me.
"He's a physik." The T.V. answered. "So don't waste your time with other men of mystery." It showed a slowed down version of Grunkle Stan walking out… roaring? "Learn about tomorrow tonight at Gideons tent of telepathy." Then a string of words popped up at the end. The end saying "Carla i've always loved you but I've never had the guts to say it."
"Wow." Wendy said. "I'm getting all curiously inside."
"Well don't get to curious." Stan said walking into the room. "Ever since that prick Gideon came to town I've had nothing but trouble."
"Well is he really psychic?" Wendy asked.
"I think we should go and find out." I said before Grunkle Stan stopped me.
"Never! You're forbidden from patronizing the competition." He said taking off his tie and suit. "No one who lives under my roof can go under Gideons roof." He stormed out of the room.
"Do tents have roofs?" I ask grinning.
"I think you just found our loophole little dude." Wendy said rubbing my head. The T.V. spoke again startling us.
"So come on down soon folks. Gideons expecting ya."
"Creepy." Wendy said.
"Agreed." I retort.
"Wow." Mabel said.
People were piling into the tent completely filling it after the four of us sat down.
"Whoa." I said looking around. "This looks like a bizarro version of the mystery shack. Look they even have their own Soos." I pointed at the Soos look alike. The only difference was that he had hair.
But as we looked back clapping started.
"It's starting it's starting!" Mabel squealed.
"Let's see what this monster looks like." I say crossing my arms.
The clapping soon ceased and the announcer was the only speaker.
"And now stepping forward is…" A large shadow slowly started to walk in from the hung curtain.
"Widdle Gideon." A squeaky voice said. "Hello America." He clapped twice and some dove went out out of his hair making the crowd cheer. He was a small small boy with hair larger than he was.
"That's Stans big enemy?" I ask.
"But he's so… widdle?" Mabel added.
"Ladies and gentlemen it is such a gift to have you here tonight." Gideon said. "Such a gift. I have a vision. I predict that you'll all say 'Aw.' soon." He stuck a sickeningly cute pose and the crowd Awed at him discluding the mystery group.
"It came true." Mabel said.
"What?" I questioned. When he did that it felt as through I was being forced to do it slightly. "Something is going on here and I'm not impressed." I said eyeing him suspiciously.
"You're totally impressed." Mabel said before she caught my eye and gave me a questioning look.
"What's wrong Dipstick?" She said.
"Guy's." I said. "If he tells us to do something try your hardest to not do it."
"What do you mean?" Wendy asked but Gideon interrupted.
"Hit it dad!" He said pointing to his 'father'?
His dad started to play the piano and Gideon started to sing.
"Oh I can see, what others can't see. It ain't some sideshow trick, it's innate ability. Where others are blind I am futurely inclined, And you to could see, if you was widdle ol me." He then grabbed his tie and shouted. "C'mon everybody rise up!" There was that feeling almost impossible to fight. It was like a pair of wrestlers were pulling me to my feet and we just barely keep ourselves in check. "Alright everybody keep it going." He yelled and we all stood instantly.'
"What the hell!" Wendy yelled but she couldn't move her arm enough to grab her axe.
"You wish your son would call you more. I sense that you've been here before." He pointed at an old lady and Sheriff Blubs.
"Oh what gave it away?" He said holding all of his Gideon merchandise.
"C'mon?" I say not sure they were all buying this.
"I read your minds if I am able." He said appearing beside Mabel. "I think that your names are Soos, Wendy, Dipper, and Mabel!" He yelled running to his stage.
"What the hell!" I yell grabbing my chest as it felt like a pin had poked it.
"So welcome all YEEEE! To the tent of Telepathy! Thanks for visiting, Widdle ol' MEEEEE!" He finished as a sign came down saying Gideon. "Thank you! You're all the real miracles." He said loudly. I nudge Wendy.
"Yeah?"
"Keep an eye on 'Widdle Gideon. I remember that tie from 'the journal.'" Wendy seemed to realize the seriousness of the situation as she nodded. Slowly I made my way out of the the tent without being noticed.
"Now get to the back." I walk around the tent to the back before I have to hide because of a guard. "Okay new plan. Distract the guard so he doesn't see me. Wait maybe?" I grab the journal out of my backpack a spin through it. I stop on a page that says spells.
"Adhhab lilnawm al'an. SLEEP!" I say aiming my hand at the man. A purpleish mist emmits from my hand and wraps itself around the guard before he falls to the ground asleep.
"Awesome!" I whisper looking at my hand before I feel extremely dizzy. The purple mist dissolved into the air. "Whoa." I said regaining my balance. "I shouldn't use though unless I need to." I mumble to myself.
Slowly I walk into the back of tent and am in some sort of small office like room. There was a desk and a small T.V. sitting on a food tray. On the desk was something that dipper immediately recognized.
"A JOURNAL!" I yell before I covered my mouth. I hear footsteps and start to panic.
"Hey! Who's in there!?" A voice calls out from the 'door' of the room. I look at the journal and the exit.
"Dammit! Dammit! I'm Crazy!" I yell running for the journal. I grab it just as the person starts to open the door. Quickly grabbing a piece of cloth I hide my face and start running out of the office 'room'.
"Hey! STOP HIM!" The guard yells pointing at me. Four more run out after me.
Wendy's Pov.
The two of them Questioned why Dipper left and I told them that I didn't know.
'Not like it's a lie.' I think to myself. 'I don't know where he's going.' Suddenly a security guard walks onto the stage and pulls Gideon aside.
"Shit." I say grabbing both of their arms. "We've gotta leave." I whisper to them. I don't bother listening to their complaints I pull them out before Gideon even gets back to his stage.
"I'm sorry but it seems as through we'll have to cancel for the day. You may have your refunds as you leave." Gideon says.
"Wendy!?" Mabel yells. "Why are we running?!"
"DIPPERS IN TROUBLE!" I yell to them. It was hard to hear since sometime during the last minute it started to rain heavily. We reach the car before we hear yelling.
"GET BACK HERE!" A guard yelled as he and three others chased Dipper.
"OVER HERE!" I yell catching his attention. I couldn't see him very well in the rain which was a good thing meaning that they couldn't see me very well. He starts getting pretty close before I get in the car and start it up. A slam latter and I hear him yell at Me.
"DRIVE! DRIVE NOW!" I slam on the gas and leave the four men in the dust just as they started to get close to the car.
"Dipper!" Mabel yelled hugging him. "I thought they would get you." She said as she started to tear up.
Dippers Pov.
"M-Mabel?" I said embarrassed by her actions but I sigh and give into the hug. "Okay." I pat her on the head before remembering what had just transpired. "We need to talk when we get home." I say to them. "Soos sorry but we'll fill you in at a latter date. To much for tonight."
"No problems Dude." Soos said waving it off.
"That's great and all but pray tell WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED BACK THERE!?" Wendy screamed making us all flinch.
"Remember when I said his tie reminded me of something in the journal?" She nodded. "I was right and wrong." She looked at me like I grew an extra head before turning back to the road.
"What was it than?" Wendy asked.
"He has- no had journal number two." I said holding up both journals as proof. The car swerved a bit as Wendy became shocked. She quickly grabbed the wheel.
"WHAT!?" Mabel yelled grabbing journal two from me.
"Mabel!" I yell pulling it back. She looked dejected. "This is a very dangerous book you need to be careful." I say grabbing her hand softly.
"Yeah. Sorry." Mabel said. I squeezed her hand softly and she grinned in my direction. "So this means we only have to find one more book Dip." She said happily.
"Flirt somewhere else." Wendy said making us blush.
"W-What?" I ask.
"I said get a room. Oh wait you already have done that.
"Stop it wendy!" Mabel shouted. Suddenly the tension breaks and we all start to laugh.
"Okay but you've got to admit." Wendy said. "Dipper was today's NVP. He got the second journal."
"What the into in it?" Mabel asked. "Cmon DIpstick! Don't keep us waiting!"
"Okay, Okay." I laugh opening the journal. "My name is… Damn it's ripped out in this one as well. Okay well ahem. I've been studying the abnormalities in Gravity Falls Oregon for the past three years. It's unknown right now but it feels as though I'm being watched for some reason. In this book details a list of all the mysterious things i've been recently studying since my first year. My research is detailed but incomplete. I feel as though I will need one last journal after this one. I hope whoever finds this decides to burn it for I never could… Wow that's… that's creepy. Wait!" I yell grabbing journal 3. "I've confirmed it. I'm being watched. Do you guys think that the author wa killed or something for knowing too much?"
"I mean it's not unheard of the government getting rid of someone who knew too much." Wendy said. "Oh we're here." And sure enough we were at the rundown shack.
"Cool dudes well I'm going to sleep on the couch." Soos said running inside from the rain closely followed by all of us.
"Guys. Attic now." I said to the two of them.
"So your telling me Gideons amulet has the power of… Telekinesis?" Wendy asked.
"Yeah. Mabel what are you doing?" I asked as I saw her grabbing… something.
"Huh? Oh I'm gonna check something." She walked over holding a strange looking light. It almost looked like-
"A black light! You're a genius Mabel. I never would have thought of invisible ink!" I yelled hugging her. I grab the light and shine it over the book. The purple blackish light revealed words unnoticed before.
"Don't summon Bill?" I said. "Could he be anymore decisive with it? All hope is lost if he gains a full body? What the hell is this?"
"Back to our previous topic." Wendy said turning off the light. "What are we gonna do about Gideon?" I stop and think.
'How do we get close enough to get the amulet but not close enough for suspicion? Wait! I've got it!"
"Well to start off…"
"What brings you here Mabel?" Gideon said in his suit.
"W-Well I was wondering whether or not we could I don't know, Hang out?" She said shyly.
"Wh-Why of course we can. I was meaning to go ask you tomorrow actually." Gideon said grabbing her arm.
'Asshole!' I thought angrily as I saw him pull her into his tents dressing room for a makeover. She seemed more than anxious at the idea of being alone with him for more than a second.
"She's in." I said into the microphone.
"Good. Ugh the bastards probably torturing her." Wendy said in disgust.
"Let's just hope the plan works the first time otherwise we'll be found out." I grumble.
"Yeah. Plan search and destroy has begun."
I crouch over to a window and glance in. Mabel was acting like she was laughing at what appeared to be a joke Gideon said. I lean my ear to the glass so I could hear.
"... Just saying that you could do better than that chump 'Dipper.'" Gideon said grabbing her arm. I clench my hand into a fist.
"H-Hey he's not that bad." Mabel said defending him.
"Well he's not good enough for you."
"L-Let go of me!" She yells and I hear a slap. "DIPPER!" She screams. I run in through the door but am stopped by a guard four times my size.
"I wouldn't do this if I were you kid." The man said cracking his knuckles.
"Uh um Ah what was it again. Oh yeah!" I held my palm towards him. Making sure no one else was watching. "Adhhab lilnawm al'an." I said. A faint purple mist shot from my hand and wrapped him in a bind before he fell to the ground asleep. A wave of drearyness washed over me making me fall to one knee. "Hah Hah." I breath in and out slowly. "Kay time to save Mabel." I say standing and running through the tent. "MABEL!" I yell.
"DIPPER!" I hear her yell and follow her voice. I find myself in the main room of the tent where he performs his shows. "Gideon!" She cries hiding behind a chair as things are floating around the room. "Please stop!"
"GIDEON!" I yell.
"Ah Dipper Pines. Just the man I wanted to see. I'd like my journal back please." He said grabbing his tie.
I hold up a journal with the number two on. "For the amulet!" I yell.
"What do you think I am? An Idiot?"
"Well kind of but that's not important." I mumble to myself.
"Fine!" He yelled pulling off his tie. I take a few steps forward cautiously. "Slowly now." We get closer before Gideon starts to talk again. "So what have you read from the book?"
"Conversing with the enemy?" I ask making him snarl. "Not much just the first page. Don't know why a story book interests you so much."
"Well let's just say it's a family heirloom." He said. We were feet apart by nw and he held out the amulet. Quickly with a snatch of our hand we each had the others objects in our hands.
"Ha ha ha." He laughed evilly. "You have no idea of what you've just d-WHAT!" He screamed. I was already ten feet back.
"You know. Being pretty isn't the only thing that Mabel has going for her. She's also the best artist I've ever seen." I hold up the real Journal 2 and laugh at his seething face. "Thanks for the amulet but-" I throw it to the ground and it shatters into green mist. "Green's not really my color." I grab Mabel's hand and run before Gideon can even comprehend what had just happened.
"WENDY START THE CAR!" I yell as we escape the tent.
Vroom I hear the car engine pur as we get close. We jump in and are out of there in an instant.
"GO GO GO GO GO!" I yell looking behind us as a car starts to chase us.
"Dip! There not stopping!" Wendy yelled.
"Uh um…" I grab the journal and flip to the spell page.
Snake charm
Bolt
Lightning shard
Switch
Singe
Searing wind
Turmoil.
"Uh Uh "harq iilaa alramad SEER!" I yell pointing my finger as the book instructed. A white and black flame shot off of my fingers before hitting the tire of the pursuing car.
"Why didn't any thing ha-" BOOM! A small but powerful explosion of black and white fire burned the Tire to ash making the car crash.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!" Wendy screamed but I barely heard her. It seemed as though my hand was on fire still and I couldn't even open my eyes from how tired I was.
"DIPPER!" Mabel yelled and I felt her arm wrap around me as I drifted to sleep.
I'm in inky blackness as I float.
"What is this place?" I ask myself. "Am I dead?"
"No. But you were apparently trying for it." I turn and see… Nothing.
"The hell?" I spin around and scream as I see the face of a yellow haired boy that looked about my age.
"Hello there partner." He said waving his top hat.
"P-Partner?" I ask. It was weird hearing his distorted voice talk.
"Well yeah. I am currently bineded to your soul." 'What!'
"Wait wait!" I yell pointing at him "Who are you?!"
"Oh Hm well I'm both you and Cipher." He said.
"Who's Cipher?" I ask.
"You'll be meeting him soon. Don't worry. Beside's only one of you can fully claim my existence. It's a fated battle between rivals. Right now he's weak. A pine tree shall grow while I speak. In the dead of night a shooting star by its side. Guiding him through the fight."
"Stop speaking riddles!" I yell before i fall over.
"Well it looks like you're being woken up. Have a fun time explaining if you wish but only one will understand. An young man to fall brings peace to all."
"Hah!" I gasp waking up.
"DIPPER!" Mabel yelled jumping into my chest hugging me.
"W-what happened?" I ask. "The last thing I remember was getting really tired." 'I don't think I should tell them about my dream.'
"You've been out for days dude." Wendy said walking into the room with a plate full of eggs and pancakes. "You've got to be starving half to death." I hear my stomach growl and laugh with the two of them. 'Well maybe I should?' It was nice to laugh with them. It makes it so much easier to handle things with them.
"Guys. When I was out. I… I had this weird dream.
Journal entry Mabel. Entry 3.
Dippers been off lately. Like he's hearing something that's not there. Oh I hope it's a ghost. I would love to go ghost hunting with Dipper. And Wendy I guess. It would be so awesome to be like. Watchop to a ghost. And spraying it with holy water. But I don't know. It seems like it's really scaring him. Maybe I'll ask him tomorrow. He should be nice enough to answer.
Journal entry Dipper. Entry 3.
I sometimes hear this voice. It's distorted and weird. It's starting to follow me around as well always where I am. Am I going insane? Who cares any more. Well that's pretty much all that's been happening. Not much today.
Audio log #4
"Stan? Stan are you here? Huh. I hope these notes don't get into the wrong hands. It could be disastrous if they did."
"Don't worry Ford." A distorted voice said.
"Bill! I won't hesitate to banish you if you come any further."
"Oh don't be like that. I just wanted to give you a little insiders tip."
"And what would that be?"
"I know where Stanley is."
