I decided to skip that oc chapter idea, it was a pain in the ass and it'd only delayed this story from getting an update. Even though this is one of the episode I ain't really into, but this will be dramatically changed on some parts of the story, only that one part that I found really messed up and another part as well, that'll deepen the mystery on Adam himself.

As for another possible Oc chapter, It'd probably be another Courage The Cowardly Dog reference, but for which episode, no idea. So some hints or ideas be cool.

Chapter 6

The Inconvincing

It's now been officially three days since the run in with Little Gideon who was an alleged psychic but was more of a fraud then the Stan was. This is what happened, the gang minus there boss headed to the Tent of Telepathy. After doing that, the next day the alleged child psychic arrived at the shack to hang out with Mabel and even gave her a makeover.

They then started to hang out more and Gideon asked her out on a date and because Mabel had a hard time saying no. It then got worse, Gideon wanted to marry her and Stan was perfectly fine with it since it would make a crap load of money. But thankfully Adam and Dipper decided to help her out by doing the job for her.

However, that all went south cause they were set up by the fraud psychic who had the intention of killing them both. Luckily for them Mabel got there just in the nick of time and made it clear to the chubby boy that she'd never date him.

All in all in the end they won that fight, but made an enemy of Gideon while something else appeared that Adams completely aware about.


The Mystery Shack comes into view and Ghompers the goat is seen on the rooftop bleating away taking the role of a rooster.

Inside Dipper was reading the journal while Mabel was spinning sitting on top of a globe as it's spinning. And nearby Wendy was reading a magazine, while Adam was restocking some merchandise while Soos was working on something else.

" Mabel, do you believe in ghosts? " Dipper asked in curiosity.

" I believe that you're a big dork. " Mabel replies and laughs at what she says before Dipper uses a pencil to make her stop spinning and fall onto the floor making Adam laugh at the scene.

" How about you Adam? " The male twin asks suddenly making him look nervous.

" Uh...I prefer to stay out of that chapter. " He replies raising curiosity in the young boy as Stan opens the door making his presence known.

" Soos! Adam! Wendy! " He called out to his employee's with Soos rushing over next to the red head acting like he was all out of breath while Adam just casually walked over to where they were.

" What's up Mr Pines? " Their handy man asked.

" I'm headin' out. " He gives an answer. " You three are gonna wash the bathrooms, right? "

" Yes, sir! " Soos salutes.

" I'll think about it. " Adam salutes as well.

" Absolutely not. " Wendy salutes giving her reply making Stan laugh for a bit and then narrowed his eyes at them.

" Stay out of trouble. " He said sternly and left.

This made Wendy smile and walk towards the back of the gift shop. " Hey, guys. What's this? " She asks going over to a blue curtain pulls it and reveals ladder. " Secret ladder to the roof? "

" Uh, I don't think Mr Pines would like that. " Soos said nervously and then Wendy started to mess him using her hand and began to mess around with him " Huh? "

" Uhhhh. "

" Huh? "

" You're freaking me out dude! " Nearby Adam laughed at her antics.

" Can we actually go up there? " Dipper asked now all excited.

" Sure we can. " Wendy replies and encouraged a chant. " Roof time! Roof time! "

" Roof time! Roof time! Roof time! " The twins chanted along with her following her up with Adam going up as well with Soos going by the window to try and get a view of them.

On the roof a hatch with Wendy climbing up the highest roof that had the Mystery Shacks sign. Adam and the twins weren't far behind and they joined her on the top as she gestured to something downwards. " All right. Check it out. "

They all looked amazed cause there was dormer that had a beach chair underneath an umbrella shade, with a bucket full of pinecones and a cooler nearby.

" Huh, nice set up you have here. " Adam commented as they walked down onto the spot.

" Did you put all this stuff up here? " Dipper asked.

" I may or may not sneak up here during work, all the time, every day. " Wendy says casually making Adam glare at the back of her head.

" By any chance is that the reason why Stan gives me your work? " He asked earning a smirk from the redhead who continued looking forward.

" Maybe. " She replied and grabs a pine cone from the bucket and throws it hitting the totem pole that had a piece of paper with a red bullseye on it. " Yes! "

Seeing this made the twins wanna try to so they grabbed a few pinecones and tried to hit the target with no success.

" Oh please, check this out... " Adam said as he grabbed three pinecones and began to throw them each hitting the bullseye spot on.

" Nice! " Wendy complimented impressed with his throwing skill before Dipper threw a pinecone only it didn't hit the bullseye it hit the hood of a car making the alarm go off.

As he blushed and winced in embarrassment Wendy thought differently. " Jackpot! High five! " As she waited Dipper was in awe looking at her beauty while her hair blew in the wind. " Don't leave me hanging! " After snapping out of the trance they exchanged a high five.

She then looked at something on the ground. It was a blue van that pulled up the shack. " Hey it's my friends! " Rock'n roll music was heard as it parked an arm was seen waving from one of the windows. " Wendy! " A deep male voice called out to her.

She then turned around " Uh, you guys aren't gonna tell Stan about this, are you? " The teenage girl asked.

" Eh, go ahead. There's plenty of things we don't tell him anyways. " Adam replied as Dipper zipped his mouth motion and threw away the key with the red head returning the gesture.

" Later dorks. " She jumped onto a tree that was right near the shack making the top bend down and did the same thing with the other tree landing on the ground.

" Show off! " Adam yelled out as they watched her get into the open door of the van.

" Let's get out of here! " The same deep male voice yelled out as he backed up and sped off.

" Later Wendy! " Dipper waved goodbye and laughed. " Ah, good times. "

Mabel then grinned at her twin brother and said. " Uh-oh! "

" What? " She looked at her in confusion.

" Somebody's in love! " She said poking him right in the cheek making him stutter slightly.

" Yeah, right, I just think Wendy's cool, okay? It's not like I lay awake at night thinking about her! "

" Hmm... " Adam hummed. " If you say so. " The blonde said before using the tree as a fire pole and went back down to the shack as he looked up to the twins who were surprised to see the stunt he just did. " What? I can be cool to you know! " He said before going inside and was hungry.


It's now night time and currently Adam just got out of the bathroom. " You seem to be influenced with that girl. " The shadow entity said speaking to Adam while standing casually against the stairs with it's glowing eyes piercing through the darkness.

" Shut up. " Adam told it as he went up the stairs.

" Ooooh! I'm so frightened. " It mocked the blonde as it followed him. " Although, I always thought after I woke up, that you'd be seeing someone by now. "

" Stay out of my personal life. " The teen growled in annoyance.

" Tch, you're in denial boy. Just admit it, hell make a move on her or something. I see the way how you look at her at times. " It exclaimed before bearing a long wicked and creepy white glowing smile. " Least you have a better shot then that boy does. Hell, I bet right now he's thinking about her. "

Adam then enters the room and notices Dipper was wide awake mumbling 'oh no', and upon seeing this the entity laughs in delight upon seeing his guess come true while Adam heads over to his hammock and goes to bed ignoring the laughs of the one only he can see and hear.


Now Inserting Gravity Falls opening theme

We first see a view of trees with a water fall in the distance followed by the gas station that has the large wooden lumber jack near it before we see the Gravity Falls water tower.

Before long we see a Speedy Beaver bus drive off dropping the twins in front of the Mystery Shack with Stan appearing like a magician and motions over to the building as the S of the building falls off.

Adam now comes into view giving the twins the tour showing off different attractions before it shows the trio with Stan out in the rain examining a bigfoot footprint that's inside of an even larger footprint.

A brief forest trail is shown in speed motion with bigfoot running through as it shows the weather vane on the mystery shack that has a question mark and four letters, w,h,a & t spelling out: What?

DIPPER

We see the boy holding onto a candle holder using it to examine some strange symbols in some kind of cave before turning around and was frightened to see a demon skeleton causing him to drop the candle.

MABEL

The female pine twin is rubbing her cheek against a pig for some reason before it shows her wearing a sweater that illuminated thanks to being plugged into an outlet.

STAN

The twins great uncle is shown running while holding onto a cash register not caring if money is flying out of it before it shows him sitting on his recliner and shifts his eyepatch over to the other eye.

ADAM

The blonde is seen reading books about the supernatural before it shows him smiling giving an 'okay' sign while holding a magnifying glass in the other hand.

As it begins to end we see the Stan telling everyone a spooky story around a campfire with Soos, Mabel and Dipper buying into it while Wendy nudges Adam with her elbow and rolls her eyes as their unaware that massive bat is seen watching them.

We see Wendy at the counter near the cash register with a glass jar full of eyeballs looking at the viewers, followed by Dipper examining the symbols in the journal while Adam is seen with a pair of eyes right behind him. Then finally we see Adam and the twins minding their own business before everything suddenly begins to float making the Dipper and Adam exchange a quick glance at one another.

Finally we see multiple photo's fall until it shows a picture the main Mystery Shack crew posing in front of a tree with a hole in it with Adam seen kneeling down with his arms right over the twins shoulders before we see the main title.

Theme end


The next day it was a quiet day at the Mystery Shack, no adventures of mysterious were happening, but that didn't mean they still couldn't have any fun at all.

" Random dance party for no reason! " Mabel shouted out and turned on a boom box making her and Wendy.

" Go, go, go, go! " Wendy chanted as she and Mabel started dancing having a good time.

Nearby Dipper was watching them nearby holding onto a clip board that read: " I am pretending to write something down. "

" Dipper! " Wendy called out snapping him out of his thoughts.

" Huh? What? " As he did he quickly put the clipboard behind him. " Yes? Yeah? "

" Aren't you gonna get in on this? " The female teen asked as she and Mabel came to a stop.

" I don't really dance. " The boy replies with an embarrassed blush.

" Yeah, you do! " Mabel said getting Wendy's attention. " Mom used to dress him up in a lamb costume and make him do the lamby dance. "

" Now is not the time to tak about the lamby dance! " Dipper said with his voice full of irritation giving Mabel a look to tell her to shut up while Adam came up.

" Lamb costume? Whoa! Is there, like, little ears and a tail, or... " She asked making Dipper nervous and stutter.

" Well.. Uh.." . The boy stuttered with Adam now coming out.

" What's all this talk about Dipper doing a dance? " He asked while Mabel brought out a picture of him when was just a little toddler wearing the said costume.

" Dipper would prance around and sing a song about grazing. " Mabel answers making her laugh with her twin brother giving her the zip it sign.

" Wow, I bet your mom really enjoyed that. " Adam laughed a little.

" Did you ever do that Adam? " Wendy asked in curiosity raising an eyebrow.

" You mean dress up for my folks entertainment. No, heck no. But I used to street dance. " The teen said proudly.

" You used to street dance? No way! How come you stopped? " The red head asked.

" Eh, real life drama. " The teen said shrugging his shoulders. " I was real good though. Really good. " He remembered all the times he had his moments.

" No way! You gotta show us sometimes. " Wendy encourages him unknowingly making Dipper give Adam a look that he didn't notice one of jealousy it seeemed before the coco clock went off. " Hey! Look at that! Quiting time! " She said happily and stuffed her name tag into her pocket. " The gangs waiting for me. " She walked off and then paused and looked to Adam. " By the way Adam? Quick question do you wanna come? I'd like to introduce you to my friends. "

" Hmmm. Well alright, I got no plans. " Adam replied making Dipper get all nervous and spoke up.

" Hey, wait! Maybe I could, or we could, come with you guys? "

" Ooh! I don't know. My friends are pretty intense. " She exclaimed and asked them a serious question. " How old did you guys say you are? "

" Were 13! " Dipper quickly replies for him and Mabel with Adam already guessing the reason why. " So, technically, a teen! "

" All right. I like your moxie, kid. Let me go get my stuff. " Wendy then went out the door leaving Mabel all confused while Adam was a bit surprised by Dippers sudden action.

" Since when are we 13? Is this a leap year? " Mabel asked in confusion trying to figure it out.

" No it isn't Mabel. Your just caught in one of twin brother's attempts to get closer to Wendy scheme. " Adam informed her while giving the female twins brother with a blank bored look.

" Come on Adam! This is me and Mabel's chance to hang out with, you know, the cool kids. And Wendy for whatever. "

" I knew it! You love her! " Mabel said jumping over the counter and began to dance and point at him while singing. " Love! Love! Love! Love! Love! "

" Oh hey what's that? " Dipper asks pointing into another direction and do to her personality she fell for it and he tossed her long hair over her face making Adam laugh slightly while trying to spit it out.


Meanwhile outside of the Mystery Shack a jellybean was seen flying through the air and soon hit a fat teen who was on his hands wearing no shirt while being supported by two other guys. One had dark skin, brown hair, an aqua green-white hat and a black shirt with a white skull on the front. The other was tall with a ovular head, with a long blonde hair, wearing a red shirt with a yellow thumbs up hand on it.

" Hurry up! " The obese teen said feeling the blood rushing to his head while he was being held upside down as they both chanted.

" In the belly! In the belly! " Another jelly bean was thrown only it missed making him groan.

The one who threw the jellybean was a male teenager with a rocker emo appearance. He had the typical shaggy black hair, pale skin, several ear piercings on both ears and had a black guitar strapped over his shoulder. His clothing consisted of mostly black clothing, a hoodie with a bleeding heart stitched closed, black fingerless gloves, and tight skinny jeans with a chain hanging out from one of the pockets

" In the belly! In the belly! " The two continued to chant and as the emo teen was gonna throw it another jelly bean came out of nowhere landing right in the fat teens belly button. Nearby the emo teen was a female teen who also had an emo appearance with dark skin, short purple hair and a long pink dreadlock over her left ear video tapping the whole thing with her cell phone but was just as shocked as her fellow emo in shock.

As he looked at the jelly bean in confusion they soon turned around to see that it was Wendy who threw it, straightening up from her throwing position and smiled.

Her friends smiled upon seeing her while the two teens holding the fat one let him drop to the ground. " Wendy! "

" Wendy! Wendy! " The one wearing the hat chanted as their friend walked over with new faces.

" Hey, guys, these are my pals from work. Mabel, Dipper and Adam. "

" How you all doing? " Adam greeted.

" I chewed my gum up so that it'd look like a brain. " Mabel said in her usual personality sticking her tongue out showing what she'd been chewing making Adam facepalm himself at her antics glad she wasn't his kid.

" She's not much for first impressions...Unlike this guy! "

" This guy... "

" Dude...just don't. " Adam said crashing Dippers thunder already knowing he was burying himself a grave.

" So, are you like babysitting, or... " The emo asked making Wendy scoff.

" Come on Robbie! Guys, this is Lee and Nate. " The one called nate punched lee in the gut making him laugh a bit. " Tambry. "

" Hi. " The girl greeted while not breaking eye contact with her phone.

" Thompson, who once ate a run over waffle for 50 cents. "

" Don't tell them that. " The fat teen said sounding embarrassed

" Oh, right, I seen you do that on the internet. " Adam said now recognizing him from somewhere much to Thompsons shock

" What?! You guys posted that video?! "

" And Robbie. You can probably figure him out. " Wendy said introducing the male emo.

" Yeah, I'm the guy who spray painted the water tower. " He said with a scowl.

" Oh! You mean the big muffin! " Dipper said in realization.

" Um, it's a giant explosion. " He said as everyone looked at the wooden structure in the distance to see his 'work of art'.

" Nope. It's a muffin. " Adam said making Lee laugh a little.

" Yeah, it kind of does look like a muffin! " He said and laughed with Nate making Robbie glare at Dipper making him look nervous.

Seeing what was happening Adam spoke up taking the heat on purpose. " Hey, F.Y.I, mushroom clouds are skinnier and have a ring around it. " The blonde said now a glare from Robbie who wasn't at all intimidated. " Plus, that's not scary... " Adam mocked and immediately Wendy broke the tension between the two.

" Come on! Let's hurry it up, guys. I got big plans for tonight. Huh? "

" Yeah, all right, let's get out of here! " Lee cheered rushing to the van.

" Come on guys! In the car! " Thompson cried out as he got into the drivers seat with Dipper trying to get front seat only for it to be shut by Robbie who already occupied it.

" Sorry kid, I ride Shotgun all right? " Robbie said once again making the boy look nervous and got into the back seat squeezing right next to Adam who was now in the middle of the twins.

Upfront Thompson started up the engine " Okay. Just, before we go... " He said getting everyone's attention. " My mom said you guys aren't allowed to punch the roof anymore so... "

" Thompson! Thompson! Thompson! Thompson! " His friends chanted his name ignoring what he said. Instead of trying to argue with them the fat teen just drove the car away from the Mystery Shack.

In the back seat Dipper was knowing on the end of a red permanent ink marker and without hesitation Mabel grabbed it. Adam watched as she crossed out You Stink and replaced it with You look nice today! making her laugh. " This is gonna blow someone's mind. "

" Mabel. Please. " Dipper whispered seriously to his twin sister who then snickered.

" What? Am I embarrassing you in front of your new (shouting) girl- " Dipper quickly reached over Adam and covered her mouth shut preventing her from finishing that last line.

" Ugh, did you just lick my hand? " He asked in disgust making Adam laugh and was then curious of their destination.

" So...where are we going? " The teen asked.

" You'll see " Wendy replied with excitement.


Meanwhile back at the Mystery Shack Stan was sitting on his recliner lazily watching tv.

" You're watching the black-and-white-period-piece-old-lady-boring movie channel.

Not wanting to watch it he looked around for the remote, but couldn't find it. " Kids! " He called out. " I can't find the remote and I refuse to stand up! "

" Stay tuned for the Friday night movie, The Duchess Approves, starring Sturly Stembleburgiss as the The Duchess. And Grampton St, Rumpterfabble as the irascible coxswain, Saunterblugget Hampterfuppinshire. "

" Kids! " He yelled begging for them to come find the remote before it was to late. Sadly for him it was as the movie began.

" No! NOOOO! "


Elsewhere in Gravity Falls Adam and the twins along with the teenagers made it to their destination.

They were all in front of a fence surrounding an old abandoned convenience store. The lights were off, the large parking lot had a few pieces of litter, and for some reason only the 'N' in it's name was still lit, but struggled to stay on.

" There it is, fellas. " Wendy said to the group. " The condemned Dusk 2 Dawn. "

Everyone muttered positive things while Dipper was bothered including Adam who stayed silent.

" Why did they shut it down? It's like a health code violation or... "

" Try murder! " Nate yelled jokingly.

" Some folks died in there. " Lee added with a grin. " The place has been haunted ever since. " This suddenly alerted Adam while Mabel stayed positive.

" This town has such a colorful history! "

" What? Are you guys serious? " Dipper asked now feeling nervous.

" Yeah, 'We're all gonna die!'. " Wendy exclaimed in mock horror and laughed and playfully punched him. " Chill out man, it's not as bad as it looks. " He and Adam then noticed a sign reading: No Trespassing violators will be prohibited with the last word covered in the word Dead!' colored in red.

Despite the warning sign everyone climbed over, and was just now waiting on someone. " Come on Dipper! " Wendy called out as the boy stayed on the top of the fence laughing nervously.

" Okay, okay, just got to get a foothold. "

" Dude! Your sister did it! " Robbie said motioning to his twin who was running in a circle while on her side saying gibberish much to Adam's confusion as he went over to the fence.

climbed over the fence in mere seconds landing back in the other side.

" I gotcha Dipper. " The blonde said as he then jumped and grabbed the male twin with ease. " There we go. " Once that was done everyone went over to the front of the condemned store with Robbie trying to open the door.

Wendy was chuckling as she gazed inside through the glass. " This place is amazing. "

" I think its stuck! " Robbie said as he was having no luck opening the door and Adam gave it a try.

" It ain't stuck, it's locked from the inside actually. " The blonde explained.

" Let me take a crack at it. " Dipper spoke up.

" Oh yeah. I can't get in, but I'm sure Junior here is gonna break it down like Hercules. " Robbie said teasing him.

" Come on. Leave him alone. He's just a little kid. " Wendy said and hearing that seemed to light in Dipper as he adjusted his hat and gained a serious.

' Oh boy... ' Adam spoke mentally to himself as they all watched him go around and went up the dumpster and onto the rooftop while the group appearing to be amazed, shocked and slightly concerned. While on the roof the boy went up the vent tackled it a few times before punching it.

" Go, Dipper! Punch that metal thing! " Mabel cheered as they watched him go into the vent.

" Dipper, don't push it to much man! " Adam called out in concern along with Wendy. " Yeah Dipper, take it easy! " All the sudden Robbie turns around to the group with his arms crossed bearing a smirk.

" Who wants to bet he doesn't make it? " As soon as he said that Dipper emerged from the store opening the door much to the emo's surprise and motioned them inside.

" Good call inviting this little maniac! " Lee said entering the store with Tambry followed up by Nate. " You new nickname is Doctor Funtimes! " He said passing by Dipper along with Thompson now feeling really good as Mabel passed by giving him a high five while Robbie scowled at him. " Nice work. " Wendy said playfully punching him.

As Adam was gonna enter he stopped and looked to Dipper. " Can I have a word with you in private? " Dipper nodded and the teen brought him by the dumpster " I don't think this is a good idea. "

" Why? We just got here? "

" Dude, have you not forgotten ever since we found that journal weird things have been happening left and right? Were gonna go into a haunted convience store! And with our streak of luck somethings gonna happen. "

" Oh come on Adam, this is our chance to have some fun! "

" No, your chance. " The blonde clarified. " You only did that to impress Wendy. I ain't trying to rain down on your parade Dipper, but I am supposed to watch after you and Mabel. "

" Hey! " Wendy called from the entrance. " You coming? "

" Yeah, were coming in. " Adam replied back. " Look, just for tonight I'll let this one pass. But, can we at least agree that if something happens we get out of here? No questions asked? " He asked in a serious tone.

" Yeah. But what if something happens to Wendy and the others? "

" We'll act when it happens, I mean it though, you got to keep alert and if something happens, let me know. " With that talk done the two joined the others and entered the store while Adam closed the door behind him.

" Do you guys really think this place is haunted? " Thompson asked.

" Nah! Thompson, are you kidding me? " Lee said waving off what he said. " Come on, shut up, man. " The two of them laughed and unknown to them the open sign turned over to it's closed side.


" Whoa, man, it's even creepier then I imagined! " Wendy said sticking by Robbie and Dipper while everyone else explored the store. Adam examined a dusty old newspaper from the late 1990's. Nearby Mabel whipped her finger on a tip of a change slot and licked it.

" Yep. It's dust. "

" Eww! Mabel don't do that! " Adam said to the female twin.

" Hey dude. Where do you think they keep the dead bodies? " Lee asked jokingly

" Shut up man... " Nate said shoving his friend with a grin.

" Guys! " Wendy called out nearby from the light switches. " Check it out! You think these still work? " She then flipped the switches up and the sound of machines powering up were heard as all the lights turned on.

" Jackpot! " Mabel exclaimed.

" So what are we gonna do now? " Dipper asked.

" Anything we want. " Wendy answered making the twins smile.

Pretty soon the fun began with the group now seen throwing food at one another while Adam is right in the middle of the shelves throwing whatever he could grab in both directions wagging a one man war on his own.

Lee is now seen hitting Nate in the stomach and laughs before his friend returns the gesture while Wendy hits Adam in the back with a bag of cat food, and in response he grabs the biggest bag of dog food he could find and begins to chase her while laughing.

We now see the group sitting in a circle with Nate dropping some mints in a pit cola bottle causing it to explode in the air. As everyone cheered they suddenly heard a loud whistle too see Adam walk over to the circle with five bottles tapped together and had a few packs of mints and opened up the bottles motioning, Wendy, Thompson, Lee and Nate to put the mints in at the same time creating a massive geyser of soda making everyone cheer.

We now see Mabel running around the corner and skidded to a halt. The reason why was because their was shelf filled with candy called 'Smile Dip.' " Oh, my gosh! Smile Dip! I thought this stuff was banded in America! " She said taking out a pack ignoring the police tape that read: DO NOT SELL.

" Maybe they had a good reason... " Dipper said before getting hit in the face with a balloon filled with cheese and runs off ignoring what he was trying to say leaving his sister with the candy.

Dipper is now seen eating a popsicle with Wendy on a shelf.

" Hey, come here, man! We got it ready! " Nate called and Thompson ran over to where the voice came from. " Whatever it is I'll do it! " The fat teen cried out making Wendy laugh at his antics and cheered.

" Thompson! " She then looks over to Dipper. " Dipper, this night is, like, legendary. "

" Really? "

" Just look around... " Wendy said motioning to everyone in the store. " The guys are bonding. " Nate is holding Thompsons pants open while Robbie pours ice inside making them all laugh. " I've never seen Tambry look up from her phone this long. " The said girl was texting on her phone and looked away for only a second. " And your sister seems to be going nuts for that Smile Dip. " They look over to Mabel groaning all covered in the candy.

" Maybe I've had too much. What do you think? " She asked seeing a weird ass hallucination of a giant yellow dog. She was now in a valley that changes with crazy pop music playing in the background. Then another dog comes up.

" Would you like to eat my candy paws? " The dog asked.

" Of course you little angel... " Mabel replied and began to chew on the dogs paw but in real life her eyes were all wide completely out of it biting the air.

" By the way where's Adam? "

" He's in the bathroom. He ate something that his stomach didn't agree with. " Dipper said pointing to the said teen exiting out of the bathroom.

" Ah, man...I should've ate that crap. " His stomach then emitted a loud noise. " Oh damn... " He said before going back in still not finished with his business.

" You know Dipper, I wasn't sure if you could hang with our crew at first. But you're surprisingly mature for your age. "

" Yes. Yes, I am. " Dipper said trying to lick the popsicle but smeared it on his face instead.

" Hey, guys! We need more ice! " Nate called out as he and Lee continued to pour more ice into Thompsons pants but ran out of it.

" I'm on it! " Dipper volunteered and rushed over to the ice machine and grabbed a bag. But soon he felt something was wrong and something wrong indeed. There was somesort of creature inside of the freezer resembling a human brain with it's body made out of veins and had dentures for teeth. All the sudden it's eye rolled over and they extended over to Dipper making him freak out and threw the bag of ice aside slamming the door shut. As he calmed down slowly he reached for the handle and opened it back up, only to reveal the creature had disappeared as if it was never even there confusing him greatly.

" What was that? " Lee asked as the teens walked over to Dipper. " I thought I heard some lady screaming back here. "

" You freaking out kid? " Nate asked making Dipper nervous and stutter.

" No! No, I'm cool. Everything's cool. " He answered.

" Then what's all this about? " Robbie asked pointing to the spilled bag of ice on the floor.

" Oh. That's uh... " He then gasps finding a way to get out of that mess and points to a video game. " Hey, look! Dancy Pants Revolution! The game that tricks people into exercising. " The teenagers seem to change their minds making him chuckle nervously.

" Yeah! Let's all... Let's all go play that. " The boy said and looked back to the freezer and immediately thought about telling Adam what he saw, but decided against it, so that way his time hanging out with Wendy and her friends wouldn't be ruined and headed over to the game.

Thompson is now seen playing the video game panting away most likely from not doing so much exercise.

" Dance! Hurry up! " The game announcer said as the fat teen continued to dance as best as he could while both Lee and Nate cheered him on and the others watched.

" Wow, he's really terrible at this. " Wendy exclaimed snapping Dipper out of his thoughts and was shocked at what he was seeing. In the reflection of the glass everyone's skin was replaced by ones scaring him greatly. But after quickly rubbing his eyes their reflections returned to normal.

" I'll be right back. " Dipper said and ran to a telephone. " Come on, Grunkle Stan, pick up! " He groaned upon hearing the phone was still ringing. " What is he doing? "


Meanwhile back at the Mystery Shack Dipper great uncle was currently watching The Dutchess Approves. Even though at first he didn't wanna watch it, but since he couldn't find the remote, eventually he was totally into the movie eating ice cream while ignoring the sound of the phone ringing.

" I don't care about dukes or commoners or His Royal Highness Lionel of Cornwall! I'm not afraid anymore, mother! "

" Duchess, I forbid you! " The queen on the screen said as Stan continued to eat his ice cream totally tuned into the movie.

" I maybe a duchess, but I'm also a woman! " Duchess said with tears leaking from her eyes taking off her hat and let it flow with the wind.

" Yes! Yes! " Stan cheered and pointed to the screen. " In your face Elizabeth! " He then began to cry slightly. " It's just like just like my life! In a way. "


Meanwhile Adam had finally gotten over his stomach problem " Phew...much better. " He then hears a loud gurgling noise and notices Mabel sitting near the Smile Sticks. " Oh no... " Adam breathed as he rushed to Mabel and gasped upon what he saw.

The poor girl was covered in Smile Dip with a small amount of it oozing out from her mouth with her eyes shrunken down to a light green color as she was in a hallucination.

" The future is in the past! Onwards, Aoshima! " The girl yelled out ridding on a dolphin with two large muscular arms who spread out her arms. They then began to spin around, and then stopped, suddenly another head appeared on his back opening up spitting out another set of arms with the hands turning into mouths that spewed out rainbows emitting car alarm blares.

Back in reality Adam held the girl in his arms. " Mabel! How many of these things did you eat? "

" Bleven...teen.. " The girl said in gibberish and the teen noticed Dipper rushing over to them.

" Dipper! What the heck man?! You were supposed to look after her! " He yelled in a scolding tone.

" I know! I know! But Adam, I...I... "

" Spit it out Dipper, what's wrong? "

" Somethings really wrong with this convience store! I saw a brain monster in the freezer and when I looked into my reflection I was a skeleton! With everyone else! "

" Okay, those aren't good signs...we need to get out here, before something worse happens. " The teen said before he picked up Mabel throwing her over his shoulder.

" Whoa! Guys! You might wanna see this. " Robbie said getting everyone's attention. Pretty soon everyone gathered around to see white taped outlines of two bodies right behind the counter and began to talk amongst one another.

" Whoa! So the rumors are true... " Lee said in awe.

" Dude I dare you to lie down on it. " Robbie dared much to a certain blonde teens surprise.

" Good idea! Go lie down on it. " Lee said making Nate do it with Adam putting Mabel down as the idiot teen went over to the death spot.

" Hehe. I'm a dead body! Look! "

However before he could proceed any further. Adam jumped across the counter and stood right infront of the line with his arms crossed. " No. "

" Geez, take it down a notch, Captain Buzzkill. " The emo said.

" You need to shut up Marylion Manson. " Adam replies making Robbie glare right at him.

" What did you just say? " Robbie asked starting to get angry.

" You heard me. "

" Oh you wanna go? " Robbie threatened getting in Adams face who was unfazed.

" This coming from a rebellious idiot who's all tough and no bite? Do whatever you got to do pal. " As Robbie was about to throw a punch only Adam catch it and pushed him down onto the floor with ease much to everyone's surprise.

" Ugh, Wendy, why'd you even invite this guy? " Tambri inquired.

" Oh look! " Adam says. " I'm a teenage girl! I'd rather be anywhere then here! " The blonde exclaimes as he walks up to her. " I'm all about long silences, followed up by mean comments, texting ignoring the world, and followed up by even more silence. " He says and pauses. " So? What's it gonna be? Mean comments? More texting? Or silence? Go on. "

They got silence for a moment until she spoke up. " You got me in a box here. "

" Adam what are you doing? " Wendy asked in confusion not used to seeing this serious side of him.

" I'm, drawing the line, Wendy. " Adam replies sternly towards her. " You know this ain't okay. In those spots, people died. And you want to mock and play in their dead spots? That's low, even for you. "

" Well, sorry for inviting you then. I actually thought you wanted to hang out with me. " She said crossing her arms across her chest slightly looking away while in the background Dipper looked hurt by her words.

" Oh don't play that game with me! " Adam retorts and kicks Robbie who was trying to pounce on him. " I like hanging out with you. Hell, I even keep Stan off of your back all the time cause I know there's a reason why you slack off. " He said taking her by surprise.

" I don't care what any of you, think about me. You all think it's fun and games to do this sort of thing? How would you feel if it was someone messing with your grave or someone that won't let you rest? Huh? " He got no comment. " I thought so. But you know what, continue your fun. Dipper, were leaving. "

" What?! But Adam... "

" No buts! " The teen said. " Have you been even paying attention to Mabel?! She's look like a herion addict. That candy was banned from america and being made cause of the crap it does. " He said gesturing to the boys sister who looked completely wacked out of it. After sighing in defeat the boy began to leave the store while Adam went to go and grab Mabel.

Nearby Robbie got back up and scowled at him. " Good! You were ruining the night anyways! " The emo said and looked back at the lines. " Anyone gonna do it? " Everyone then suddenly made unsure looks thinking about what Adam had said. He then gave a loud sigh of frustration " Fine! I'll do it! " Robbie says as he begins to lay down on the floor and tried to imitate one of the dead body outlines witch Adam immediately saw.

" No! You idiot! Stop! " Adam tried to grab him but it was to late he laid on the floor. Once he did the lines of the body began to glow and a bright light flashed. " Oh no... " The blonde breathed as all the machines and lights powered down and nearby a gasp was heard from Tambry followed by something being dropped it was her phone.

" Whoa! " Wendy exclaimed in surprise upon seeing one of her childhood friends suddenly disappear. Dipper quickly grabbed the phone and read one of her texts out loud.

" Status update...AAAAAAAAHHHHH! " The group then looked in the direction where a tv came on. And on the screen the female emo was scared for her life banging on the screen causing everyone to scream in horror.

" Tambry! Tambry! " Wendy tired calling out to her with Dipper. " Can you hear us? " They got no response as the screen became silent.

" What are we supposed to do? " Nate asked now full with fear.

" I don't know man! I don't know! " Lee replied feeling the fear as well.

" Let's just go already! " Robbie suggested the cowardly route not wanting anything to happen to them.

" Thompson! " Wendy called out to the fat teen who was still playing Dancy Pants Revolution despite everything happening.

" Wait! (panting) I've almost got the high score! " He then became coated in an ominous green glow causing him to freeze and then dissolve leaving behind a scream. But he wasn't dead, instead he reappeared inside the video game much to his confusion. " Huh? What? "

" Time to shake what your mamma gave you! " The game announcer said.

" Oh no! Help! " He then began getting hit by the colored arrows. " So many arrows! "

" You're a dance machine! "

" No! You're a dance machine! " The fat teen retorted back, curled up and began to cry.

" Thompson... " Wendy said in fear loosing yet another friend.

" Forget them! Lets go! " Robbie said and pointed to the door only for it to slam shut.

Wendy tried to open it, but whatever resided in the store wasn't gonna let them leave. " What the...guys its locked! "

" OUTTA MY WAY! " Robbie yelled out grabbing the cash register and threw it at the doors only for it to dissolve causing a green light to fly at him.

" Everybody wait. " Dipper said and brought out the journal. " Whatever is doing this has to have some kind of reason. " He said while looking at the page about ghosts. " Maybe if we could just figure out what it is, then they'll let us out of here! "

" Ooh! They'll let us out of here! " Robbie mimicked the male twin. " Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. "

Hearing what they were saying made him grunt in frustration. " Graah! You idiots! " Adam said to them. " This is why I tried to stop you! You seriously thought you could mess with someone's grave and not pay the price? How stupid are you?! "

" Oh yeah?! And since when the hell are ghosts even real?! "

" Guys! Stop! " Wendy said trying to calm them down. " Maybe Dipper's got a point. " Wendy said trying to reason with them.

" Yeah, right, I'm sure the ghost just wants to talk about it's feelings. " Lee said before he was coated in the same energy like Thompson and floated into the air and screamed as he dissolved. He then reappeared on the cover of a cereal box. " What? " He was confused and then looked up to see a toucan pouring milk inside the bowl.

" I'm bonkers for eating you alive! " The toucan exclaimed with a grin. " No! " Lee screamed and a stabbing noise was heard making everyone wince upon the terrible sight before them.

" Lee! Okay, okay. " Nate said nervously in fear taking off his hat holding it nervously. " I'm with you kid, 100%, man! " Behind the teen was Mabel coated in the same ominous green glow with her eyes solid white.

" Welcome. " The girl's voice changed into a deep male making them all shriek in fear.

" They got Mabel! " Dipper said in fear.

" Welcome to your graves, young trespassers. " The possessed girl said before doing an evil laugh.

" We're supper sorry for hanging out in your store! " Wendy apologized hopping it would work with Dipper adding in the toppings. " Yeah, can we just go now and leave forever? "

" Well... okay. You're free to go. " The male spirit said with the doors opening up and floated over to the hot dog machine. " But before you leave, hot dogs are now half off. I know it might be crazy, but you gotta try these dogs! " Seizing the opportunity both Nate and Robbie screamed like cowards running to the doors only for them to slam shut in their faces. " Just kidding about the hot dog sale! "

" Just let us out of here already! " Nate demanded about to give the spirit a piece of his mind if it wasn't for Robbie holding him back.

" I don't like your tone! " The spirit said with Mabels eyes glowing making Nate float up into the air and dissolved and reappeared as a hot dog on the stove.

" What?! No! I'M A HOT DOG! " The teen screamed as he rolled.

" It begins. " The spirit said before making everything float into the ceiling with everyone remaining. As Dipper landed he narrowly avoided the tv containing Tambry with Adam dodging a shelf. " Welcome to your home for all eternity! "

" Dipper! Adam! What do we do!? " Wendy asked hopping they would have the answer to solve this problem not noticing an slurpy machine flying towards her.

" Wendy duck! " Adam said and tackled her to the ground avoiding the heavy machine.

" Quick! In there! " Wendy points out to a machine with a door of the bottom cabinet opened.

" Go! Go! " Adam cried out as they dashed to the opened and jumped inside with Wendy closing the door allowing them to catch their breaths.

" What do they want from us?! " Wendy asked in fear.

" Revenge I guess? " Dipper exclaimed.

" What did we do wrong? "

" Oh I don't know let's see, " Adam exclaimed hearing what she said. " We trespassed in their final resting place and your stupid emo friend disrespected one of the spirts death spots! "

" Okay, okay! Guys! Focus! " Dipper spoke up changing the subject. " We gotta look at the patterns here. Why was each person taken? "

" Tambry was texting, Thompson was playing a video game, Lee was being sarcastic... " Adam listed the patterns on why each person was taken.

" And Nate was aggressive, this doesn't make any sense! "

" Yeah, I mean those are all just normal, teenage things. " Hearing what Wendy just said immediately popped an idea in Adams head.

" Guy's I have an idea. " The blonde opened the door crawling back outside.

" Adam?! " Both Dipper and Wendy were confused and shocked by his sudden actions. " Dude! What are you doing?! "

" Wendy, Dipper. I need you both to trust me. " The teen said sternly. " Don't come out until I say, okay? " He got a nod from both of them before he closed the door looked over to he posssed Mabel.

Taking a deep breath he walked over to her. " HEY! " Adam yelled out making the posssed girl spin her head around like the exorcist getting its attention. " Let my friend go. I wanna talk. "

" No! You must pay! "

" Oh really? Maybe this'll convince you? " The blonde asked raising a right eyebrow and walked over to the girl. Before long he grabbed onto something and surprisingly he had gripped the arm of an old man and woman.

" Now will you both talk? " He asked the two spirits.

" You... " The old man stuttered. " You can see us...and touch us? "

" How is this possible? " The old woman asked.

" There's mysteries all around the world. " Adam replies. " For me, I'm just one of those rare few. " He explained. " So, can you please let Mabel down? She's already had a bad night as it is after eating that candy. It was banned for a reason. "

The two elderly ghosts exchanged a look with one another before Adam let both of them go in return they dropped Mabel into a pile

" Hohoho! Well how about that? " The old man laughed. " I Never thought we'd ever seen someone like you walk into our store. "

" Thank you. " Adam said and put Mabel against a wall and covered her up in his hoodie. " Hang tight Mabel. We'll be home soon. " He then went over to them and cleared his throat. " Now, I know this may sound a little rude but how did you both die? "

" Teenagers. " The two elderly spirits replied at once.

" Teenagers? " Hearing this confused Adam as they began to explain their side of the story for all the hostility.

" When we were alive, teenagers were a scourge on our store. " The female ghost began explaining.

" Always sassafrasin' customers with their boomy boxes and disrespectful short pants. So we decided to up and ban them. But they retaliated with this newfangled rap music. " The male ghosts wife then continued the story.

" The lyrics, they were so hateful. It was so shocking we were stricken down with double heart attacks. And that's why we hate teenagers so much! Don't we honey? " The female ghost asked before they rubbed their noses against one another affectionately.

" So does that mean you hate me to then? " Adam asked. " Not all teenagers are bad, sure some might be incredibly stupid, but it is what it is. "

" Well...I guess we could... " The male ghost admited. " You did try to make sure the spot where we died wasn't disturbed or mocked. "

" Not to mention, you're actually more mature and polite then you seem. " The female ghost added. " So I think we can make an exception just this once. "

" I'm glad to hear that. " Adam replies with a smile. " Now, is there anything I could do for everyone else? Sure they might not seem, bright. But, it wouldn't be right for me to just leave them here. "

" You got a good heart son. There is one thing. Do you know any funny little dances? " The teen then began to think and then snapped his fingers.

" I don't. But there's someone I know that does. " Adam replies and knocks on the soda machine door making it open up.

" Dipper. These two nice spirits want a dance. So You got to do the Lamby Dance. " Hearing this made the boy nervous.

" Uh...is there anything else we can do? " Dipper asks only for the male ghost to enlarge and coat himself in fire.

" NOOO! " he yelled out scaring Dipper who hid right behind Adam.

" There you have it man. " Adam told him casually. " Either put your pride aside and do it. Or were stuck her forever. And trust, me it won't be the end of the world if you do it. Your choice. "

" Okay, okay, okay! " The boy says in defeat and fear as he got out. " Um... Well, I do know the lamby-lamby dance. But I can't really do it without a lamb costume. " Dipper says hopping he would get off the hook. Instead male ghost snapped his fingers making him wear the same costume from Mabel's photo. " Oh! Well. There it is. "

After sucking it up Dipper did the dance that was seemed more then enough satisfying show for the two elderly spirits.

" That was some fine. girly dancing boy. Your friends are free. " The male ghost said with the doors suddenly opening. " Also what's your name young man? "

" It's Adam. Adam Winters. You both have a good rest now. " He said to the two ghosts before they disappeared. " Also heads up Dipper. "

" What? " The boy was confused by what he meant and all of the sudden everything that was upside down suddenly became normal again with the ones trapped by the ghosts returning back while Robbie emerged to, most likely hiding during the whole thing. Nearby Dipper went over to his twin sister who groaned holding her stomach.

" I'm never gonna eat or do anything ever again. " The girl said with Dipper holding up a bag of Smile Dip.

" Hey! There's still some left. " The boy said with Mabel slapping it out of his hands. " EVIL! " The girl said while Adam threw it in a trash can while the other teenagers were all sitting together in a line while Wendy was standing.

" What? What happened after everything went crazy? " Lee asked having slight memory of what happened and appeared not to be wounded.

" You guys are not gonna believe it! " Wendy said sounding all excited. " The ghosts appeared, and Dipper had to... " As she was gonna tell them she paused upon seeing Dipper giving her a look not to tell them with Adam nodding his head telling her to do the right thing which she did.

" Uh...(clears throat.) Dipper just grabbed a bat and started beating ghosts down, left and right. Heck even Adam helped making them all scared and ran sway like a couple of little girls. It was insane. " Everyone said appearing to amaze her friends who rethought on them being cool.

She looked back at Dipper and did the zipping her mouth motion with the male twin returning the gesture while Adam smiled.


" Well, I'm probably scarred for life. " Wendy says to Adam and Dipper as the blonde puts Mabel in the van.

" Yeah, that was pretty crazy. " Dipper agreed.

" Welcome to the club. " Adam joked. " You gonna be okay? "

" Yeah, I think I'm gonna go and stare at a wall for a while again and RETHINK EVERYTHING. " The redhead said.

" Eh, don't worry. You'll get used to it, eventually. " The blonde reassured her.

" Hey, next time we hang out, let's stay at the Mystery Shack, okay? "

" Definitely. " The blonde replied while Dipper was laughing.

" Next time? Yeah! Yeah! Let's hang out at the Shack! Yeah! " He said awkwardly and got into the van.

" Also Adam?..." She turned to the her work buddy. " I'm really sorry for being kind of jerk to you back there. You do always have my back at work, and I always take that for granted, so I just wanted to say, thanks. "

" No problem, " He replied with a smile. " Now let's get out of here, I wanna get myself some sleep. " The blonde said getting a nod and got into the back with the twins. As they were driving Mabel groaned holding her stomach while Adam gently patted her back while Dipper was all happy.

" What kind of sick joke is this? " The female twin asked reading what she wrote earlier.

" Don't worry you'll be okay. But hopefully, next time you listen to the police tape next time. " Adam said to reassure her as they drove away from the haunted store the lights went out.


Meanwhile back at the Mystery Shack Stan was still watching the movie.

" Ah! The wedding! I've waited so long for this. " He said excitedly. " Oh! Look at her in that dress. " A crowd gasping was heard from the tv. " Count Lionel? What's he doing here? "

" I've come to reclaim my bride! "

" You had your chance at the cotillion, you! " Stan said to the tv.

" You had your chance at the cotillion, you! " A voice from the movie said repeating what he had just said.

" That's what I'm saying! " Stan exclaimed and screams in frustration at the tv.

Outside of the Mystery Shack Adam, Dipper and Mabel finally returned home after a long and event full night. But then all the sudden the window shatters the cause was the tv followed by Stan poking his head through it brining an awkward silence.

" You okay in there? " Adam asked breaking the silence.

" Uh...Couldn't find the remote. " Stand replied and ducked back inside making the twins exchange a look while Adam shook his head already knowing he'd have to help repair the broken window.

And now there's more questions on Adam himself deepening the mystery on the character. As for what that shadow entity, is its all will be revealed in time. And also, I do hope for another update of either Weirder Things or Against Long Odds, cause those two stories get two thumbs up in my book.

ROCuevas

Thank you.

Hmm...some of those ideas sound good, as for those two other stories, we'll just have to see.
