I'm back! So I'm skipping Legend of the Gobblewonker because Gwen would have no reason to be involved in the plot. Stan's goal(and the reason they went to lake in the first place) was so Stan could bond with the twins. Why would he take Gwen, his daughter I.E someone he had bonded with plenty, with him? So I'm skipping to one were I think Gwen would actually do something. Any skipped episodes happen the way they would have gone in canon(Or they happened differently and I just don't feel like writing it). Anyways, let's begin.
Gwen rolled her eyes as she looked up from her sketchbook. She loved Ducktective as much as the next person, but the constable could get to be to much sometimes.
"That duck is amazing!" Mabel awed.
"Meh, it's easier to find clues when your that close to the ground," Dipper countered.
"Are you saying you could outwit Ducktective?" Mabel asked in disbelief.
"It's a puppet, Mabel," Gwen pointed out. "Anyone could, other then maybe Soos,"
"Plus, I have very keen powers of observation. Just by smelling your breath I can you have been eating….an entire tube of toothpaste?" Dipper realized. Gwen facepalmed.
"It was so sparky…" Mabel replied.
"Why can I actually believe that's why you would eat that," Gwen mused.
"Dudes!" Soos announced as he ran in, "You'll never guess what I just found!
"Buried treasure!" Dipper guessed.
"Buried tr-, I was gonna say that!" Mabel said, hitting Dipper in the arm.
"A room dad forgot about?" Gwen guessed.
"Gwen was right, come on!" Soos replied as he rushed off to find where the room was.
"How did you guess that?" Dipper asked.
"Meh, this place has a ton of hidden rooms and secrets. That's how I found my room," Gwen replied as she followed Soos, with Dipper and Mabel following her.
"So I was cleaning up when I found this secret door, hidden behind the wallpaper, it's crazy bonkers creepy in there," Soos said as he opened up the door. Inside were tons of wax figures.
"Ugh, I remember this," Gwen groaned. She had always hated the wax museum, especially because of how creepy the figures were.
"They're so life like," Mabel said.
"Except for that one," Dipper said as he shined a flashlight on Stan.
"Hello!" Stan greeted them, causing Dipper, Mabel and Soos to freak out.
"Hey dad," Gwen replied, causing Dipper, Mabel and Soos to attempt to run away. After realizing that it was Stan, Dipper turned the lights on.
"What is this place?" Dipper asked
"Behold, the Mystery Shack Wax Museum! It was our most popular attraction...until I forgot all about it,"
"I'm so glad you did, these things creeped me out when I was little. And they still do somewhat," Gwen revealed.
"So let me get this straight, you can sit through like every horror movie ever made, and yet you're afraid of wax statues?" Soos asked.
"Hey! Those are fake! These are real!" Gwen argued.
"Hey! Who left the blinds open!?" Stan asked as he stood over a melted figure.
"Which one was that?" Mabel asked.
"My favorite, Abraham Lincoln. Okay, who did this! Wax John Wilkes Booth, I'm looking in your direction!" Stan moaned.
"Cheer up, Grunkle Stan! Where's that smile?" Mabel said.
"Meh," Stan said, causing Mabel to start poking his face. "Ow,"
"Hey Mabel, you're good at Arts and Crafts, right?" Gwen pointed out. "Why don't you try and make a new wax figure?"
"Yeah! I bet I could make a new one from all this old wax," Mabel said.
"Sure, why not," Stan shrugged.
"Hey guys!" Mabel said, startling Dipper and Gwen, who were walking by and had pit cola in hands, causing spit takes. "What do you think of my wax figure idea? She's part fairy princess and part horse fair princess!"
"Yeah, okay or you could do something from real life?" Dipper suggested. Mabel started drawing again.
"Like a waffle! With big arms!" Mabel said showing off her drawing.
"I think you're missing the point of this," Gwen sighed. "Maybe you should do someone in your family?" Gwen instantly regretted at that as she hated modeling and Mabel was looking at her with interest.
"KIDS!" Stan yelled as he walked into the room, lacking the bottom half of his tour outfit. "Have you seen my pants?"
"Oh muse, you work in mysterious ways," Mabel sighed as she turned away.
"Why is your sister talking to the ceiling?" Stan asked Dipper.
"Hmm, it needs more glitter," Mabel deduced as she, Soos, Dipper, and Gwen looked over a wax replica of Stan.
"Agreed." Soos said as he gave Mabel a bucket of glitter to dump on it. Then Stan walked in, now wearing pants but bearfoot.
"I found my pants but now I can't find- ah!" Stan started before freaking out at the figure and falling over.
"What do you think?" Mabel asked.
"I think….the wax museum is BACK IN BUSINESS!" Stan declared.
Gwen already knew that Stan would have instantly rushed into town to tell everyone about the Wax Museum, but Dipper and Mabel's reactions were priceless.
"Whenever Stan has a new big attraction, he tells everyone in town," Gwen explained as she helped them move the wax figures onto a stage he had set up. "In all fairness, most of them are idiots so it works nearly every time,"
"Plus, I think Stan bribes some of them," Soos said.
"He bribed me," Dipper admitted, followed by Wendy and Gwen all pulling out money and sharing at a laugh over.
"Wait, why did you need to bribed? Mabel asked Gwen.
"Because I was going to do damage control," Gwen answered.
"Damage control for what?" Mabel asked. In response, Gwen held up the flyers Stan had put around town and pointed at a line that promised free pizza for attendant.
"I used to it at this point," Gwen admitted. "I really should tell Stan to stop, but it's honestly really funny that he always tricks the people living here,"
"Oh look, people are arriving!" Mabel said. Stan quickly came out a threw a cloth over wax Stan.
"Look alive people! This is gonna be big! Soos, you direct the guests, Gwen, Dipper, Wendy, you're on entree fees, Mabel you're on stage with me," Stan ordered. Everyone headed for their respective spots and soon, all the guests were seated. Stan took to the stage.
"You all know me, folks. Town darling, Mr. Mystery," Stan began his speech. "Ladies, please, control yourselves," No one was shocked when there was dead silence from the crowd.
"Casanova, much?" Wendy joked, causing Dipper and Gwen to laugh.
"Anyways, enough about me, behold….ME!" Stan showing off the wax figure as Soos played sound effects. Only a few people clapped.
"And now a word from our very own, Mabelangelo!" Stan said as she handed Mabel the microphone.
"It's Mabel," Mabel said as she took the microphone. "I made this statue with my own two hands. It's covered in my blood, sweat, tears, and other fluids. I will now take questions,"
"Old Man McGucket, local kook. Are the wax figures alive? And follow up question, can I survive the wax man uprising?" McGucket asked.
"Uh….yes?" Mabel answered.
"Toby Determined, Gravity Falls Gossiper. Do you really think this constitutes as a wonder of the world?" Toby asked.
"Your microphone's a turkey baster, Toby," Stan pointed out.
"It certainly is," Toby said sadly.
"Next question," Stan groaned.
"Sandra Jimenez, actual reporter, the flyers promised free pizza with attendance to this event, is that true?" She asked. The crowd began whining in agreement. Dipper and Wendy both looked nervous as Gwen rolled her eyes.
"I knew this was coming," Gwen moaned.
"That was a typo, good night!" Stan said before using a smoke bomb to get off the stage and taking the cash box while the crowd riot.
"I think that went well," Mabel said as she walked over to Dipper, Wendy and Gwen.
Gwen was more the ready to go to sleep, so naturally she was not pleased to her Stan screaming at the top of his lungs when she was trying to sleep. Groaning, she made her way to the main room and was shocked by what she saw. Wax Stan missing his head!
"Wax Stan, he's been...MURDERED!" Stan said to her and the twins. Mabel fainted into Dipper's arms.
"I can't believe I'm about to say this, but Gwen, call the cops!" Stan declared. Gwen sighed, she already knew exactly how the cops, if she could even call them that, were going to act.
"This case is unsolvable," Sheriff Blubs said after being told what happened.
"Why am I not surprised?" Gwen thought to herself as the other three Pines flipped out.
"You take that back, Sheriff Blubs!" Stan ordered.
"Hey, if you guys want I could help you out with the investigation," Dipper offered. That made Gwen smile, she had a feeling Dipper would want to help.
"Yeah, he was the one who found out who was eating our tin cans!" Mabel added in.
"All signs pointed to the goat," Dipper said confidently.
"Oh, it looks like the city boy is gonna use his fancy computer phone to help," Sheriff Blubs teased.
"Whoop! City boy!" Deputy Durland added in.
"You are adorable!" Blubs teased.
"Adorable?" Dipper said. Gwen did her best to keep from strangling the cops as they ran off to watch another officer shove a cantaloupe down his throat.
"If it means anything, I think you could do a better job then those two morons any day," Gwen comforted her cousin. "Plus, if you solve the mystery, imagine the look on their faces!"
"You're right! We'll see who's adorable!" Dipper challenged before sneezing.
"Aw, you sound like a kitten!" Mabel gushed, causing Dipper to frown.
"Not the time!" Gwen hissed.
The threesome got right to work, fencing off the room and Mabel was taking pictures.
"It could be months before we find our first clue," Dipper noted.
"Does this count as a clue?" Gwen asked as she held up an axe.
"This must be the murder weapon!" Mabel said.
"Hey, look footprints!" Dipper noted. Some of the shoe prints had holes.
"Well, we have holes in the shoes and an axe…" Mabel began.
"Why is this so light?" Gwen questioned. She was holding the axe with only a few fingers.
"Whoa, it is really light!" Dipper marveled. Then he sighed. "Well, there goes my first suspect."
"Which would have been?" Mabel asked.
"That lumberjack guy," Dipper said sadly.
"Oh, Manly Dan? Yeah, I was thinking him too, until realized, A. he would never use an axe this light and B. I think this is a left handed axe and Manly Dan is right-handed," Gwen noted.
"How do you know this stuff?" Dipper asked.
"I've lived here for nearly fifteen years. I know these things," Gwen said.
"True, true," Mabel said.
"So all we need to do is find out which of our suspects is left-handed," Dipper realized.
"Nice going Dip!" Mabel congratulated.
"You two are Mystery Twins," Gwen joked.
"Don't call us that," Dipper said bluntly.
The threesome raced out of the house, only to find Stan trying to unload a coffin from his car.
"Hey, can one of you give me a hand? I'm doing a memorial service for Wax Stan. Nothing big, but, ya know, classy," Stan said.
"Sorry Grunkle Stan but we've got to do some interrogation," Dipper said. Mabel grabbed the axe out of Dipper's bag.
"We have an axe! RE! RE!" Mabel added in as she pretended to chop something with the axe.
"This seems like the kinda thing a responsible parent wouldn't want you doing. Good thing I am not responsible person and an uncle! Avenge me kids! AVENGE ME!" Stan ordered. And with that, our heroes set off.
After nearly a full day, the kids had narrowed down their list to only one person, Toby Determined.
"It all would add up, he's not strong, he probably has holes in his shoes and Stan never let Mabel answer his question," Dipper said.
"This is perfect!" Mabel said.
"All adds up," Gwen smiled.
"Shouldn't we go get the cops?" Mabel asked.
"Do you really want to bother with those morons?" Gwen pointed out.
"That's mean!" Mabel said before racing off in the direction of the police station. Gwen rolled her eyes.
"Dipper, I really hope you're right," Gwen thought to herself as Dipper raced after Mabel. Sighing Gwen chased after them.
"Gee, I be mighty embarrassed if I were you!" Toby mocked the kids. After getting the police, Toby had managed to prove his innocence by showing a video of him making out with a cardboard cutout of Sandra Jimenez. Not to mention, the axe was discovered to have no fingerprints on it. As the officers and Toby laughed, Gwen felt her blood boil.
"I'd be more embarrassed if I were caught making out with a cardboard cut out," Gwen began.
"Yeah," Toby said realizing Gwen was right. She turned her glare on the police.
"Or if I never did my job!" Gwen added in, causing the officers to gasp. She wasn't sure why she disliked the officers so much, but she felt like someone she knew used to really hate them and it wasn't Stan.
"You're so mean!" Sheriff Blubs said as he and the Deputy burst into tears and ran off. Gwen snickered as she nudged Dipper, only to see it didn't make him feel any better.
"Let's go home," Dipper said sadly.
Upon returning home, the kids had joined in wax Stan's funeral at Stan's request. Soon, however, Stan and Soos raced out of the room in tears, leaving the kids alone with the wax figures.
"I can't believe we couldn't solve the mystery," Dipper said sadly as he walked over to Wax Stan's coffin, where Mabel and Gwen joined him. Suddenly, Dipper realized something. "Wax Stan's show has a hole in it,"
"Yeah, it's where they attach to their stand-dealies," Mabel said. Dipper began to connect the dots.
"What has holes in their shoes and no fingerprints?" Dipper thought before realizing who the killers were. "Guys! The murders are-"
"Standing right behind you," A voice said from behind the kids. The threesome turned around to find the Wax figures moved!
"Wax Sherlock Holmes! Wax Shakespeare!...Wax Coolio?" Dipper said as he turned to face each wax character.
"Sup Holmes," said. One of the figures grabbed the axe from Mabel, who had pulled it out to defend herself.
"Congratulations, Dipper Pines! You've discovered our little secret," said as he pulled out Wax Stan's head. "Applaud everyone, applaud sarcastically," When the other figures started to clap, scowled. "No, no that sounds too sincere," The others began to clap slower. "There we go, nice and condescending,"
"What's going on?! How is possible?!" Dipper began to freak out.
"Are you guys…..magic?" Mabel asked. laughed.
"She wants to know if we're magic," managed to get out between laughs. He slammed his fist down on the coffin. "We're cursed!"
"Crused!" The other figures added in. As the figures explained the nature of their curse and how Stan had ended up with them, Gwen only had one thing on her mind.
"I told dad getting you guys was a bad idea!" Gwen moaned.
"Let me finished!" W. Sherlock snapped. "We've been waiting ten years to get our revenge on Stan, but we got the wrong guy,"
"You were gonna murder dad?!" Gwen asked in shock.
"You guys were right! Wax people are creepy," Mabel said.
"And now that you know the truth, you must die," said as he and other wax figures removed their pupil and began to close in on the Pines.
"What do we do?" Mabel asked Dipper and Gwen as they were backed against the food table.
"I don't know!" Dipper replied, panicked.
"Throw stuff at them!" Gwen added in, panicked as well. The kids quickly started hurling the food on the table at the wax figures. Nothing was working until Dipper hurled a pot of coffee at Wax Genghis Khan. It melted parts of his body.
"That's it! We can melt them with hotty-melty stuff!" Mabel realized. Dipper and Mabel grabbed the decorative candles while Gwen pulled out a lighter. The Wax figures began to back up.
"Stay back or we'll melt you into candles!" Dipper challenged.
"Decorative candles!" Mabel added in as she shared a fist bump with Dipper and then Gwen.
"You really think you could beat us?" asked.
"Yeah," Gwen said unsurely.
"Worth a shot," Dipper added in.
"Maybe," Mabel said.
"So be it. ATTACK!" said as the other wax figures charged. However, the Pines switched from defense to offense and began melting off the figures' limbs. Gwen was annoyed as she had a much shorter range then the other two, but was still having a blast making Wax People carnage.
"Dipper, catch!" Mabel yelled out as she tossed Dipper a fire poker to block 's sword. Gwen had every reason to jump in to help him, but she could tell Dipper had a plan. Plus, Mabel had lost her candle, making the Gwen the last person with heat left.
"Mabel, start tossing the wax piece's into the fire!" Gwen called out as she burned through Hood's chest.
"Got it!" Mabel said as she picked up one of the wax figures and tossed it into the fire. With Gwen burning through them, plus Mabel tossed whatever ones she could find into the fire, the Wax Figures were quickly disposed off, just in time for Dipper to return, completely unharmed.
"Dipper! You're alive!" Mabel cheered as Dipper when to grab Wax Stan's head.
"I guess you showed those cops who's the best mystery solver after all," Gwen added in.
"I couldn't have done it, without my sidekicks," Dipper told them.
"You're both my sidekicks," Gwen said.
"Are people saying that?" Dipper began asking frantically. Gwen smiled, he was adorable.
"Hot Belgian Waffles! What happened to my Parlor!?" Stan cried as he walked in.
"Your Wax Figures turned out to be evil so we fought them to the death!" Mabel said like she was telling Stan how her day at school went.
"I decapitated Larry King," Dipper added in. Stan just laughed.
"You kids and your imaginations," He said.
"On the bright side, look who we found," Dipper said as he tossed Wax Stan's head to the real Stan.
"My head! I missed this guy!" Stan said as he put the head down. "Now line up for some affectionate noogieing!" Mabel and Dipper started trying to weasel out of it, only for Stan to do it anyways, leading to the group laughing. Then, the police pulled up.
"Solved the case yet, boy?" Sheriff Blubs asked. "I'm so positive, your gonna say no that I'm gonna take a long slow sip from my cup of coffee," As he drank, Gwen grinned before winking at Dipper.
"Actually the answer is yes!" Dipper revealed as he held up Wax head. The cops were so shocked they started to spit coffee all over themselves before driving off and crashing into something, leaving the four Pines in hysterical laughter.
I'm so sorry I got so lazy about this! I swear I'll go back getting a chapter out a week hopefully! Anyways, next time, you're going to get the first look at Gwen's really big change!
