Dipper, Mira and Gary drove through the woods, going through the various branches and bushes that was in their way. They drove as fast as they could to get to where Mabel was, though they couldn't find her anywhere.

"HELP!" They soon heard Mabel shout.

"DIPPER QUICK! TURN RIGHT!" Mira shouted.

Dipper quickly did just that; He made a hard right. They soon had gotten to where they heard Mabel's voice. "LOOK THERE SHE IS!" Gary exclaimed pointing up ahead. They saw Mabel trying to fight her way through what appeared to be… Gnomes? Why were there gnomes?

They heard one of the gnomes say as they drove closer to the location, "The more you struggle the more awkward this is gonna be for everybody! Just-haha, okay. Get her arm there Steve!" Steve was biting Mabel's arm and she tried to shake him off, "GET OFF OF ME!" She exclaimed, before punching Steve off of her arm. For some strange reason Steve started to throw up a rainbow.

Dipper, Gary, and Mira got off of the golf cart and just had a sort of 'what' look by what they were seeing before them.

"What the heck is going here!?" Dipper exclaimed having a shovel armed.

"Who are all these people?" Mira asked before going behind Dipper when one of the gnomes had hissed at them.

"DIPPER, MIRA! NORMAN TURNED OUT TO BE A BUNCH OF GNOMES, AND THEY'RE ALL JERKS!" Mabel shouted before punching another. One of the gnomes grabbed her hair and pulled on it, "AH! HAIR, HAIR, HAIR!"

"Gnomes?" Gary said with a raised eyebrow, "Seriously, not a zombie?"

Dipper and Mira both looked at each other. "We were so off." Mira said.

"Yeah…" Dipper couldn't help but say awkwardly; he rubbed the back of his head. He took out the journal out of his vest and looked in the journal. He turned to the pages which was labeled Gnomes.

"Well, does it say how to defeat gnomes?" Mira asked.

Dipper read aloud what was on the page, "Gnomes: little men of the Gravity Falls forest, weakness is unknown."

They saw that Mabel was tied down the floor, and she heard what Dipper what read in the journal. "OH COME ON!" Mabel shouted.

Gary went over to Jeff, "Hey you! You let go of Mabel! Right now you bullies!"

Jeff turned to them. "Oh, hey there!" Jeff said awkwardly, "Um… You know this is just a big misunderstanding. You see, Mabel's not in any danger, she's just marrying one thousand of us and becoming our gnome queen for all eternity! Isn't that right honey?"

"YOU GUYS ARE BUTT FACES!" Mabel shouted, before getting her mouth covered by one of the gnomes.

"Look we're not messing around!" Dipper exclaimed, holding up the shovel, "You give back our sister or else!"

Jeff had an angry look on his face, "You think you can stop us boy? You have no idea what we're capable of. The gnomes are a powerful race! Do not trifle with the-AH!" Jeff was suddenly cut off when Dipper picked Jeff up with his shovel and tossed him over to the side, living the three of them astonished.

"That was surprisingly easy." Mira said before going to untie Mabel after Gary scared them off. When she did she helped Mabel stand and they ran towards the golf cart.

"THEY'RE GETTING AWAY WITH OUR QUEEN! STOP THEM!" Jeff shouted. The four of them climbed onto the golf cart, and drove off as soon as they had gotten on their seat belts. "You've messed with the wrong creatures!" Jeff exclaimed, "Gnomes in the forest: ASSEMBLE!" All the gnomes had gathered around and formed what looked like a giant monster of some kind.

Dipper, Mabel, Mira and Gary drove out of the woods; they were going as fast as the golf cart could drive.

"Dipper, hurry before they have a chance to chase us!" Mira said, occasionally looking back to see if she spotted any gnomes.

Dipper chuckled slightly at that, "I wouldn't worry too much. Did you see their tiny legs? Those suckers are tiny."

Gary's eyes widened when he saw what was now behind them, "Umm… Guys?" He said getting their attention before pointing what was now chasing them. They turned around and saw what appeared to be a giant gnome made out of other gnomes they had seen earlier. The four of them were just awestruck at this.

"Dang…" Was all Mabel could say.

"MOVE NOW!" Gary shouted to Dipper.

Dipper pressed on the gas pedal hard and they drove faster than before. The giant gnome chased after them. Mira and Gary started to throw whatever they could find in the golf cart.

"COME BACK WITH OUR QUEEN!" Jeff shouted to them.

"Can't you make this thing go any faster!?" Mira shouted to Dipper.

"This is as fast as it can go!" Dipper yelled back.

"Well than make it go faster!" Gary said.

"You guys it's getting closer!" Mabel shouted.

The giant gnome swung its arm and several gnomes flew in their direction. They landed on top of the golf cart. They had tried to attack the four children. Gary and Mira swung at them with a bat and a shovel, while Mabel was elbowing a few of them. Two of the gnomes; one being Shmebulock landed on Dipper's head and he couldn't help but scream.

"DIPPER!" Mira exclaimed.

"HANG ON WE'LL SAVE YOU!" Mabel shouted.

Mabel and Mira started to hit at the gnomes on Dipper using their fists until finally they hit them off Dipper, punching him in the process.

"SHMEBULOCK!" The little gnome had shouted taking Dipper's hat with him.

"Thanks guys…" Dipper said feeling dizzy.

"Anytime bro." Mabel said.

Another gnome managed to land on Mira. She stumbled and fell over but Gary managed to grab ahold of her before she hit the ground. But then her flute flew out of her pocket. "MY FLUTE!" She exclaimed trying to catch it; though the flute fell to the ground and it broke on impact. Gary pulled Mira back up and threw the gnome off of her.

"Are you okay?" Gary asked.

"I-I lost my flute." Mira said, her expression filled with panic.

Just than the giant gnome had picked up a tree and threw it so it had landed right in front of them.

"DIPPER LOOK OUT!" Mabel exclaimed.

They all let out a scream as the cart fell on it's side; it had conveniently landed right where the Mystery Shack was. They crawled out trying to recover from the crash.

"Ow... I don't wanna go on that ride again…" Gary said rubbing his head.

"... Did we lose the gnome?" Mira asked rubbing her arm.

Just than the giant gnome emerged from the bushes and the four of them couldn't help but back up. Dipper stood in front of them, holding out the shovel. "STAY BACK!" He shouted, "DON'T MAKE ME USE THIS!"

When the giant gnome stepped forward again, he threw the shovel as if it was a spear. Though all he did was punch the shovel out of the air. The giant gnome towered over them and the kids had huddled together.

"Wher-where's mom when you need her?!" Gary exclaimed.

"And where's Grunkle Stan?!" Mira yelled.

Inside the Mystery Shack, both Stan and Skyla were showing the tourists one of the attractions of the Mystery Shack. "Behold! The worlds most distracting object!" Stan said, pulling away the cloth revealing what appeared to be a spinning wheel. The tourists were hypnotized by it.

"Go on try to look away!" Skyla said, "Can't do it can you?"

Though really, both her and Stan were getting hypnotized by the object. "What were talking about again?" Skyla asked.

"Mmmdon't know…" Stan said.

Back outside the four kids had found themselves backed into a corner with no way out. "Dip-Dipper what do we do?" Mira stammered. Dipper tried to think of something. "There's-There's gotta be some way out of this!" He said.

He was about to get out the journal about to look through the pages to see if he can find any answers, though before he could, Mabel had stepped forward.

"I gotta do it." She said.

Dipper, Mira and Gary looked to her with shocked expressions. "Mabel you can't!" Mira said, "It's not worth it!"

"Trust me." Mabel said.

Dipper tried to convince Mabel otherwise, "Mabel don't do this!"

Mira said, "There's gotta be another-"

Mabel had then cut Mira off, "Dipper, Mira, just this once… Trust me." Dipper both looked at the gnomes than back to there sister. After thinking only for a moment, they had backed up from their sister; Mabel turned to the gnomes.

"Alright Jeff…" She said, "I'll marry you."

Jeff cheered at that, "Hot dog! Help down there boys!" Jeff started to climb down the tower of gnomes. When he had gotten to the bottom, he took out the diamond ring. Mabel held out her hand and Jeff placed the ring on her finger.

"Bada bing, bada boom! Now let's you get you back to the forest honey!" Jeff said.

"You may kiss the bride." Mabel said which stopped Jeff in his tracks. Jeff smiled, "Well, don't mind if I do." Jeff puckered up his lips as did Mabel; Just when him and Mabel were about to kiss, she had suddenly pulled out the leaf blower that was under the pile of leaves, catching Jeff by surprise.

"HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY, WAIT A MINUTE!" Jeff shouted as he got sucked in.

"THAT'S FOR LYING TO ME!" Mabel yelled to Jeff who had gotten stuck on the leaf blower halfway; she had increased the sucking power, "THAT'S FOR BREAKING MY HEART!"

"OW MY FACE!" Jeff shouted getting sucked in the leaf blower completely.

"And this is for messing with my siblings and Gary!" Mabel said aiming at the other gnomes; She turned to her sister and brother, "Wanna do the honors?"

"With pleasure." Mira said with a smile.

"On three…" Dipper said.

The three of them counted down, "One, two three!" The three of them switched the leaf blower from suck to blow and Jeff was sent flying through the other gnomes; the tower of gnomes had come crashing down. "I'LL GET YOU BACK FOR THIS!" Jeff shouted as he flew in the distance.

All the other gnomes were unfortunately left without a leader, leaving all the gnomes confused and puzzled.

"What? Who's giving the orders?"

"Help! I need orders!"

"My arms tired."

Just than all the gnomes were blown away by the leaf blower, causing them all to run on all fours back into the forest. "YEAH, YOU BETTER RUN!" Gary shouted before cheering at their victory; He turned to his cousins, "That was so awesome! We fought gnomes actually gnomes! Sure they weren't zombies but it was still so cool!"

Mira calmed Gary down, "Okay, okay we get it, it was cool."

Dipper said to Gary, "Just do us a favor and don't speak of this okay?"

Gary ran ahead to the Mystery Shack and said, "Don't worry I won't say a word! For now…!" With that he headed inside.

"Dipper? Mira?" Mabel said getting her siblings attention. Dipper and Mira turned to Mabel, and they saw she had a look of guilt on her face, "I um… I'm sorry I ignored your advices. You guys were really just looking out for me."

Both Dipper and Mira smiled at their sibling. "Don't be like that Mabel." Dipper said, "You saved our butts back there."

"Yeah." Mira said, "That definitely counts for something."

Mabel let out a sigh, "I guess I'm just bummed out that my first boyfriend turned to be a bunch of gnomes."

"So your boyfriend was just a bunch of gnomes, big deal." Mira said, "I'm sure they're plenty of other good looking guys here in Gravity Falls. Like they say, they're always other fish in the sea."

"And who knows…" Dipper added, "Maybe you're next boyfriend will be a vampire."

Mabel looked to them and smiled; she couldn't help but laugh, "You guys are just saying that."

Dipper and Mira both held out their arms at arms length to her. "Awkward sibling group hug?" They both said. Mabel in turn held out her arms at arms length to them, "Awkward sibling group hug." The three of them hugged one another and at the same time they patted each other's backs while saying, "Pat, pat." After that they entered the Mystery Shack, where they found their Grunkle Stan and cousin Skyla checking the amount of money they had gotten from today; they both noticed the state they were in.

"Whoa, what happened to you guys?" Skyla asked, "First my son Gary comes in looking all beat up and now you three too?"

"You guys look like you've been hit by a bus." Stan said before laughing at his own joke. The three triplets were about to turn in for the night. Skyla than nudged her father's arm as signaling him to do something.

"Uh, hey!" Stan said stopping them in their tracks, "Wouldn't you know it? I accidentally overstocked on some inventory, so uh… How's about each of you take one item from the giftshop, on the house you know?"

The triplets turned to them. "Really?" Mabel said with her eyes brightened with excitement.

"We can do that?" Mira asked nervously.

"If you're great uncle Stan says it's okay with him (Which is rarely so often) then it's okay with him." Skyla said to them with a friendly smile.

"What's the catch?" Dipper asked with a quizzical look.

"The catch is do it before I change my mind." Stan said. Thus the three triplets went looking around the gift shop to see what they could find. Dipper picked out a new hat which was of blue and white with a blue pine tree in the middle of it; he liked the way it looked on him. Mira looked at the shelves wondering what she should pick. Her eyes fell upon a small musical instrument.

"Whoa…" Mira said with amazement removing the item from the shelf. What she held in her hand was a ocarina that could be worn around her neck in the shade of a dark green color. She played a few notes and a lovely sound was heard.

"You know how play that?" Skyla asked her.

"Sort of." Mira said, "The notes are kind of the same as the ones that are one my flute. How come no one bought this?"

Stan replied, "Because no one could play it that's why. That ocarina has been sitting on the shelf for at least ten years, but hey, if you say you can play it, than you can have it."

Mira's eyes brightened at this, "Really? I can really have it?"

"Yeah sure whatever." Stan said.

Mira ran over to Stan and hugged him, shocking Stan a bit, "Thank you Grunkle Stan! Thank you so much!" Mira said with a smile.

Stan suddenly jumped at a sudden flash; he turned and saw his daughter Skyla holding a camera.

"Sky!" He groaned.

"What?" Skyla said before putting away the camera, "You have to admit it's pretty cute."

"Right… Cute." Stan said, before turning his attention back to Mira seeing as how she was still hugging him, "Okay kid, you can let go now."

"Oh sorry." Mira said pushing herself out of the hug feeling a bit embarrassed; she placed the ocarina around her neck, "But seriously, thank you Grunkle Stan. I'll be sure to take good care of this."

They turned to Mabel when she said, "I will have a… GRAPPLING HOOK!"

They looked and saw that Mabel was indeed holding a grappling hook. "Dad, I thought I told you to throw that thing away." Skyla mumbled over to Stan.

Stan laughed nervously and said, "I'm sure it's fine. That thing is probably broken."

He spoke to soon when Mabel pulled the trigger and pulled herself to the ceiling. "GRAPPLING HOOK!" Mabel shouted with a smile.

"You were saying?" Skyla said with her hands on her hips and giving a look to her father.

"Ah, come on Sky, she won't hurt herself with it." Stan reassured her, "Just let her have her fun."

Skyla was about to say something, but looked at the smile that Mabel had on her face. She sighed in defeat, "Fine, I'll allow it. But if she breaks the TV with it, you're getting a new one."

"Fair enough." Stan said.


The journal that we found in the forest told us that there was no one we could trust. But when you battle a hundred gnomes side-by-side with someone, you realize that they've probably always got your back. Our uncle told us that there was nothing strange about this town.

But who knows what other secrets are waiting to be unlocked...


Mira found herself standing in what appeared to be a white abyss. She looked scared, confused to what was happening what right now. She looked around, and saw a figure of a person standing in the distance; it looked like a man. She tried to call out to him, tried to get his attention, but when she did, she couldn't hear her own voice when she spoke. She saw the man turn around and walk in the other direction. Mira tried to call out to him again even with her voice gone and chased after the man. But as she ran, the white abyss was suddenly a hall, stretching farther and farther apart from herself and the man; he disappeared in the distance.

She was than blinded by multiple lights of colors and images flashed right before her very eyes so fast that she couldn't comprehend what they were. Than she heard the voice from before speak to her again.

"A yad lliw emoc ni eht erutuf nehw gnihtyreve uoy erac tuoba lliw egnahc…"

The words kept on repeating and repeating; echoing throughout where she stood. That was when she found herself surrounded with blue flames. But as quick as the flames appeared, the flames were suddenly froze over with ice; the whole world was being in cased in ice and Mira found herself being froze over as well.

She finally screamed as the ice covered her whole body.


Mira sat upright and found herself in the room where she was staying with her siblings and her cousin Gary. They were still sound a sleep and did not realize that Mira had awoken from a nightmare. She pinched to make sure she wasn't still dreaming, and sighed with relief when she found herself in the real world. Mira tried to think back to the dream. She didn't know why, but the dream felt so real and she wondered who exactly the person she saw was. Too tired to think of any possibilities, she tried to go back to sleep. Though she couldn't when she felt herself shiver.

"So cold…" She whispered, doing her best to go back to sleep and warm herself up.


Downstairs in the Mystery Shack, both Skyla and Grunkle Stan were up late and went into the shop; Skyla looked around, she seemed to make sure that no one was around to see them.

"Okay, we're good." Skyla said to her father.

Stan nodded and they both went to the vending machine with a lantern in his hand. He punched in a code and the vending machine had suddenly opened revealing a doorway of some kind. Skyla went inside with Stan following behind her. Stan looked around once again having a look of suspicion, before shutting the door.
