[No reviews, guys? What's with that? Is this not interesting anymore? Here's a short one... If nobody is interested, I'll put in an ending. Please answer honestly. God bless!]
"Soos!" Stan called, running outside.
Soos ran toward him, dropping his broom. When he came close, he paused to catch his breath from the ten feet he had sprinted, then asked, "Wassup, Mr. Pines?"
"Have you seen the kids?" He attempted to seem calm and collected, but anger boiled inside of him, threatening to pour over.
Soos thought for a moment, then answered, "No, but have you checked their room?"
Stan smirked. Of course he had; after Gideon had left, he had searched every room in the house, including under the vending machine and in the portal, but they were nowhere to be found, leading him to believe the Gideon wasn't lying.
"Thanks, Soos," Stan muttered, wandering toward his car. They were always investigating some strange being or event of Gravity Falls, so he thought Gideon was just trying to freak him out. He drove into town, going on every street twice and every street-corner three times.
The twins weren't there.

Dipper rushed into Pacifica's memory of Pioneer Day and ran up to himself, crying, "Give me your journal!"
The other Dipper looked at him curiously, then slowly backed away. "Are you some type of doppelganger?"
"Whoa!" Mabel cried, poking Dipper. "Dipper, you have a copy!"
"Look," Dipper said, "the real Mabel - my Mabel - is in trouble and I need to use the journal!"
"But I'm right here," Mabel said, dancing around.
"The Mystery Shack will be burnt down," Dipper said patiently.
The other Dipper watched him, then slowly handed him the journal. Dipper ran out, excited.
...
Pacifica jerked awake, crying out and breathing hard.
"Why did I dream about Dipper?" she wondered, sickened. She shook it off and picked up her phone.
"Gideon," she said when he picked up, "I'm awake. Why did you want me to call you?"
Gideon cried out in frustration, then said, "Just don't worry about it."
"But-"
Gideon hung up.
