Chapter 6: Unveiling the Truth
Stan boarded up the windows, today was the day… a horrible, horrible day. HE shuttered himself form the outside world then maybe everything will be all right.
Maybe he could avoid the horrid fate from the original timeline…
"Grunkle Stan…" said Mabel.
"Yes…" said Stan.
"Why are you doing this?" asked Mabel.
"No reason." Said Stan who began to sing, "Hammering the nail, hoping to avoid the madness."
That was when Dipper showed up holding a phone.
"Hey I just got a text from Pacifica and she wants our help with something." Said Dipper.
"Really?" asked Mabel, "Why?"
"It's Pioneer day." Said Dipper.
He noticed Stan boarding up the windows.
"Seriously?" asked Dipper.
"This day was horrible the first time around! I'M NOT LEAVING THIS HOUSE!" yelled Stan.
"You don't have to bard up the windows." Pointed out Dipper.
"It's the principal of the thing!" yelled Stan.
The twins looked at each other, and left.
"The threat still stands!" yelled Stan.
"What threat?" called out Mabel.
"Come home talking like that and you're dead to me!" yelled Stan.
They got to Pioneer Day and looked around.
"So what did Pacifica want?" asked Mabel.
"She didn't say." Said Dipper.
They noticed that the opening ceremonies were starting and of course Pacifica was the one giving the speech.
While she put an air of confidence, Dipper and Mabel realized that Pacifica really wasn't up for it this time around.
"So if you got the pioneer spirit come on up and introduce yourself!" said Pacifica who seemed to look at Mabel particularly.
Mabel smiled brightly know Pacifica was speaking to her.
"Okay forest up we have Mabel!" said Pacifica.
Many of the kids and teens in the audience cheered.
"Hey everyone! You ready for Pioneer Day!" cheered Mabel who then blew a raspberry, "Am I right! USA! USA! USA!"
The crowd joined in on the chant.
"All right! Everyone give her a hand!" said Pacifica with a genuine smile, "Who's next."
A few more people came up, but none as energetic as Mabel
After taking some family pictures. Pacifica walked away from her parents and towards the twins.
"Either of you have something to drink?" asked Pacifica.
Dipper thankfully had an unopened bottle of water.
"Figured you might need it." Said Dipper.
"Thanks." Sighed Pacifica, "I have to get that nasty taste out of my mouth."
The three of them sat by the stature of Pacifica's ancestor.
"I hate this." Muttered Pacifica, "The man was a fraud. Everyone in my family is… And today is just a day to sing their praises…"
She took her coonskin cap and tossed at the stature.
"All he did was take credit for something he didn't do and get my family cursed…" muttered Pacifica.
The twins remained silent knowing that that Pacifica needed to get it out of her system.
"Why him! Why my family!" muttered Pacifica deciding to throw the bottle at the stature.
She took a breath.
"Got it out of your system?" asked Mabel.
"Yeah." Sighed Pacifica, "So anyways..."
"What?" asked Dipper.
"Do you think you can expose the truth again?" asked Pacifica.
"Really you want that?" asked Dipper.
Pacifica nodded.
Dipper took out the Journal.
"Hey can we do the whole thing again?" asked Mabel.
"You sure you want to do it?" asked Dipper.
"Come on it's the one time I solved the case!" said Mabel.
"Wait…" said Pacifica, "You didn't solve it?"
"No." said Dipper, "It was all Mabel…"
"He was going to be burn the map." Said Mabel.
Dipper blushed when she said that while Pacifica laughed.
Dipper took out the journal and handed Mabel the map, which she folded up into a hat.
Pacifica stared at the hat.
"Who's ready to solve this mystery!" yelled Mabel.
"Which you already solved more than a month ago." Said Dipper.
"Come on it's fun!" said Mabel.
"So where are we going?" asked Pacifica.
"The Museum." Said Mabel.
"Mabel, please keep it down, we don't want a compete repeat of last time." Said Dipper .
"Oh yeah…{ said Mabel, "Come on!"
Mabel ran towards the museum while the other two followed.
Unaware of Blubs and Durland having heard them.
Soon enoguh they made it to the museum. They got their free passes and headed towards the painting.
"So this is the next clue?" asked Pacifica.
"Yep!" said Mabel going upside down.
Pacifica blinked and joined her. Pacifica was surprised when she saw the image of the angel.
"No way!" said Pacifica.
"I know right!" said Mabel.
"You recognize it right?" asked Dipper.
"I do." Said Pacifica.
"All right! Let's go!" said Mabel.
Both she and Pacifica got up and got woozy.
"Let's take a second." Said Mabel.
"Yeah…" said Pacifica.
That was when they noticed Blubs and Durland.
"Uh-oh…" said Mabel.
"They're following us." Said Dipper.
"Seriously?" asked Pacifica.
"They were surprisingly competent the last time around." Said Dipper.
"What?" asked Pacifica.
"I know right!" said Dipper.
"All right on the count of three run as fast you can." Said Mabel.
The other two nodded knowing that despite the two being cops they weren't in the best of shape.
They ran past Blubs and Durland, who was bemoaning the fact that they ran out of pink balloons.
When they ran past them, the cops followed but got stuck in the doors.
They countrified on their way to the grave yard.
"So do we go to where its pointing." Said Pacifica.
"Hey! Pacifica look!" said Mabel.
Pacifica looked towards Mabel, who was sung the statue to pick her nose.
However the statue finger got bent and it opened the door.
Pacifica stared at this.
"I really shouldn't be surprised at this point, should I?" asked Pacifica half sarcastically half trying not to laugh a little.
"All right! Let's go in!" said Mabel however he nose was stuck," Ow! Ow!"
"Maybe you should have pulled the angel's finger." Said Pacifica.
"Oh man! I didn't even think of it!" said Mabel
Mabel got unstuck and they headed down the stairs.
"Sorry I'm so excited this was the one time I was able to solve everything on my own." Said Mabel, "It's almost always Dipper who saves the day…"
"Oh come on Mabel, you saved the day a few times." Said Dipper, "You were the one who figures out the gnomes weakness and it was your idea for the Karaoke, plus your grappling hook when it came to Gideon."
"Yeah, but the rest of the time it's you." Sighed Mabel.
"This sounds like a conversation you should be having later." Said Pacifica.
"Yeah, we really should be paying attention for the booby traps." Said Dipper.
They looked at the ground making sure that none of his the darts stone… Thankfully none of them hit it.
They got to the chamber where all of the secrets were.
Pacifica was surprised at this room.
"Here it is." Said Dipper.
Pacifica looked at the piece of paper.
"This time around I won't cover it up." Said Pacifica.
That was when they heard a noise, they turned to it and found Blubs and Durland.
"There you are!" yelled Blubs, "You won't be spreading word about the truth."
"Yeah… yeah…" said Durland.
Durland proceed to collapse with darts sticking out the back.
"A lot of those hit him." said Blubs.
After Durland recovered enoguh.
"How did you even find us?" asked Dipper.
"It was easy, just asking around if they've seen Pacifica Northwest." Said Blubs.
"Really?" asked Pacifica.
"Yep! You stuck out like a sore thumb!" said Durland, "I think I'm color blind."
"Why are you even trying to uncover this." Said Blubs.
"I want to expose my family for the frauds they are." Said Pacifica, "Do you know what sort of horrible my family has done after "Founding" Gravity Falls? Stealing land, hunting animals to near exception, thievery and one of them was a mad scientist! I want to clear my family name starting with this one!"
Blubs and Durland looked at each other.
"Can you excuse me for a moment." Said Blubs.
Blubs took out his radio.
"I have found the kids that are trying to uncover the conspiracy." Said Blubs.
"Then why are you calling me! Send them to Washington." Said the voice on the other end.
"About that… one of them is Pacifica Northwest." Said Blubs, "And she wants to clear her family name."
"What…" said the person in charge of the situation.
"It's true." Said Blubs.
"Show her the film and have her realize her mistake." Said the person in charge.
Blubs went to show them film about the truth of Gravity Falls.
The twins and Pacifica watched the film explaining it, with Mabel still complaining about it being in black and white.
Once it was over.
"Now you understand why we have to keep it quiet." Said Blubs.
"Not really." Said Pacifica.
"Okay I'm calling him again." Said Blubs.
Mabel looked at Pacifica and Dipper and then nodded her head at Quentin Trembley, both of them nodded.
"This is Sheriff Blubs." Said Blubs.
"I know who this is the third time you called." Said the man behind it.
"She doesn't see what's wrong with this." Said Blubs.
"Let me talk to her then." Said the man behind it.
Blubs handed her his radio.
"Do you have any idea what you are doing?" asked the man behind it all.
"So I should live a lie?" asked Pacifica, "Do you know what my family has done?"
"That's not important! What Quentin Trembley has done is far worse." Said the man behind it all.
"So my family should get a free pass to atrocities just so that the country won't be ashamed?" asked Pacifica, "Besides, there's plenty of embarrassing things that other presidents have done."
"Yes, I know that thee have been incidents such as choking on pretzels, vomiting on people, getting attacks by giant swimming rabbits and things I shouldn't talk to a 12 year old about but that's not important." Said the man behind it.
"Seriously?" asked Pacifica.
"Fine then… name one thing wrong with the Quentin Trembley cover up that will make that is embarrassing." Said the man it all.
Pacifica blinked.
"I have one." Said Dipper, "You replaced him with William Henry Harrison."
"And what's so bad about that." Said the man behind it.
"He died in 30 days!" sang Mabel.
The man behind it became silent.
"Not to mention if I remember correctly he was sick during most of those days." Pointed out Dipper.
The man behind just sighed.
Mabel knew it was time to break out Quentin Trembley, she grabbed a piece of the peanut brittle and cracks formed.
"Uh-oh…" said Mabel.
They all turned and saw that The 8 ½ broke free from his suspended animation.
Blubs took the radio from Pacifica.
"We have a bit of a situation." Said Blubs.
"What did one of the kids accidently break him free from the peanut brittle and it turned out he was alive the whole time?" asked the man behind it.
"Yes." Answered Blubs.
"It is I, Quentin Trembley!" said Quentin Trembley as he ripped off his pants.
In Washington the man just face palmed.
"You know what… I quit." He announced in the radio.
Back in Gravity Falls.
"What?" asked Sheriff Blubs.
"You heard me! I had to keep this a secret for year and now you know what… the stupidity levels reached a high I'm quitting this job and working at I don't know a coffee shop, it would be less stressful…" the an behind everything, "Do whatever you want with him, I'm going home and never coming back to this thankless, thankless job."
Then the line went dead.
There was an awkward silence.
"So… what do we do now?" asked Durland.
"Well we don't have to go to take them to Washington." Said Blubs.
"So I can reveal this to the press?" asked Pacifica.
"Pray tell what year is this?" asked Quentin Trembley.
Blubs and Durland didn't know how to respond at all.
It helped they were both idiots.
"It's the year 2012." Said Mabel.
"2012…" said Quentin Trembley, "Tell me have the pancakes taken over yet."
"No…" said Pacifica.
"Good!" said Quentin Trembley.
"Maybe you two should just pretend this never happened." Said Dipper.
"Fine with me." Said Blubs.
"Sure okay…" said Durland, "By the way, is just me or is everything starting to look plaid?"
"Maybe you should get him to the hospital." Said Dipper.
Once the two left.
"I heard everything in my suspend animation." Said Quentin Trembley, "SO I know you are the ones who followed the clues."
"How is that possible?" asked Pacifica.
"Thanks to the power to peanut brittle." Said Quentin Trembley.
"Walked into that one." Sighed Pacifica.
"Mabel, I know you did most of work." Said Quentin Trembley taking out a top hat, "I m giving you the tile of congress person."
"Yes! I'm legalizing everything again!" laughed Mabel.
"Roderick…" said Quentin.
"That's not my name." said Dipper.
"I can tell you are on the way to unlocking to the many mysteries of the world. That is why I'm giving you the presidents key." Said Quentin Trembley.
He handed Dipper the key.
"I really should use it in this timeline." Said Dipper looking at it.
"And Pacifica, I know you are Nathanial's decadents." Said Quentin Trembley, "I always hated him, I know that village idiot thing was just ruse."
"tell me about it," muttered Pacifica.
"How I can tell you have a good heart. That is why I'm giving you the scepter to Gravity Falls. One day a great evil will come and I hope you are among the leaders." Said Quinine Trembley giving Pacifica a strange scepter.
"Thanks…" said Pacifica.
"What to go back into town and see things have changed?" asked Mabel.
"Of course. Said Quentin Trembley.
They headed back to town and Quentin Trembley told them the story of George Washington.
"George Washington's a jerk." Finished Quentin Trembley.
"There's Shandra Jimenez." Said Pacifica noticing the local anchor, "Wish me luck."
"Good luck!" said Dipper.
"Try to remain anonymous so you don't get in trouble with your parents." Said Mabel.
Pacifica nodded.
"Well I must now go!" said Quentin Trembley, "But I first I must give you a warning time travelers!"
"What…" said Dipper.
"How did you know? "asked Mabel.
"I can tell, the time light around you and Pacifica is different than anyone else!" said Quentin, "The Prophecy is beginning to change! The star and the heart are fading and soon they shall be replaced!"
The twins looked at each other and then at Quentin Trembley.
"Okay." Said Dipper.
"That's all I can tell you." Said Quentin Trembley.
"It's okay." Said Mabel.
"While I must go I will always be here." Said Quentin Trembley, "In the Negative 12 dollar bill."
"How does that work exactly, I've been confused about that." Said Mabel.
"It doesn't matter!" said Quentin Trembley, "Trembley away!"
But before he could jump away on his horse Shandra Jimenez showed up with microphone and a cameraman.
"Excuse me Mr. President, a word?" asked Shandra.
"Peaches!" said Quentin Trembley.
"I meant I would like to do an interview." Said Shandra.
"Oh… of course, but what are these stage machines?" asked Quinine Trembley.
Shandra sighed realizing it was going to be harder.
The twins walked over to Pacifica.
"She bellied you? "asked Dipper.
"Since it was me of course she did." Said Pacifica.
They watched at the interview unfolded.
"I wonder how this will change the timeline." Said Dipper.
"Who knows." Said Pacifica.
"It will be fun watching it happen though." Laughed Mabel.
"You said it." Laughed Pacifica.
They all laughed.
"By the way." Said Pacifica.
"Yeah." Said Mabel.
"I had a lot of fun today." Said Pacifica, "We have to hang out more often."
"We do." Laughed Mabel.
And so they once again unraveled the conspiracy of Gravity Falls. And this time the cover up would be much harder to maintain.
However what they didn't' know was that the should have listened to Quentin warning, after all the prophecy was beginning to change.
