Chapter 20: Gideon Falls, Emily Rises
(Emily's P.O.V)
Okay, let's review. I was sent to my favorite show after my sister Georgia died, I started working at the Mystery Shack, lived in a treehouse, met Dipper and Mabel, got haunted by Bill who is 'interested in me', survived multiple episodes, and Gideon took the deed to the Mystery Shack.
And now I'm here.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! I just had a horrible dream that Gideon stole the deed to the Mystery Shack, and kicked us out, and...we all had to move in with Soo's grandma?" Dipper explained after a minor panic.
"That was no dream, dude." Soos said, appearing next to him on the couch,
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Dipper screamed again, causing everyone else to wake up. I was on the floor in a sleeping bag along with Mabel.
"Shh. Por favor." Abuelita shushed after turning on a lamp.
"Uh, sorry, Abuelita." Dipper apologized.
"Oh, Soos, your grandma is so adorable! And her skin is old lady soft. Haaaahhh!" Mabel squealed as she rubbed Abuelita's face.
"Mabel, quit being creepy! The news is finally on." Stan scolded and we turned towards the t.v.
"In a movement that has all of Gravity Falls buzzing, child psychic Gideon Gleeful has taken surprise ownership of the Mystery Shack, previously belonging to area shyster, Stanford Pines." Shandra Jimenez reported, and the t.v then showed a picture of Stab in a devil costume.
"That picture's taken out of context." Stan insisted.
"Now that you have the shack, what exactly are you planning to do with it?" Shandra asked Gideon.
"I have a big announcement to make today, and I'd like to cordially invite all the good people of Gravity Falls to join me. Free admission to anyone who wears their Gideon pins! It's my face!" Gideon said and winked.
"Who would want that creepy pin staring at them?" I grumbled.
"I just can't believe Gideon beat us. Normally I'm able to save the day. This is all my fault." Dipper sighed.
"You shouldn't beat yourself up. We may have lost this battle, but there's still a war to be won!" I exclaimed.
"Emily's right Dipper. And don't worry. Looks like Mabel's going to have to be the hero of the family now. I'll defeat Gideon with my grappling hook!" Mabel cried pulling out her weapon.
"Mabel, no offense, but that grappling hook has literally never helped us once." Dipper said.
"Oh yeah? Jelly grab!" Mabel shot her grappling hook at the giant far of jelly, causing it to break and stain the wall.
"I vacuum the walls now." Abuelita said simply and started doing just that.
"So you lost the Shack. Look on the bright side, dudes! Now you get to live here with me, Soos! Hey, anyone want to play race cars? They're out of batteries but we can make pretend." Soos said then suddenly coughed out what looked like candy to me.
"Would that be a new low if I ate that? Haha I'm just kidding, I'm totally eating it!" Soos laughed.
"We gotta get the Shack back." Stan deadpanned.
Cue theme song!
Once it was morning we all snuck into the Shack with disguises. I had put my hair up, used the jacket from Summerween, and wore a pair of sunglasses.
"Hello, Gravity Falls!" Gideon exclaimed. I rolled my eyes as we walked in and looked around.
"We're in." Dipper reported.
"Just gonna say it, I don't know what we're doing here, but I'm loving these fake mustaches." Mabel said, feeling her own mustache.
"We want to see what Gideon is up to, and hopefully get the Shack back, maybe punch him too, day's still young." I explained.
"If anyone asks, I'm not Soos." Soos said and pointed to his hat that literally read 'Not Soos.'
"Ladies and gentlemen! Today I am delighted to announce my plans for the former Mystery Shack. I give you...Gideonland!" Gideon exclaimed.
"WHAT!?" The Pines, Soos and I exclaimed.
"We're gonna turn this dirty ol' shack into three square miles of Gideon-tertainment. And introducin' our new mascot, Lil' Gideon Jr.!" Gideon then revealed Waddles dressed up as Gideon.
"Boom, he's a pig!" He giggled.
"Waddles! You monster!" Mabel cried in horror.
"Oh he is so DEAD!" I growled.
"All right, that's it!" Stan exclaimed and pulled off his disguise and we rushed up on stage and trashed it before addressing the crowd.
"Listen up, people. Gideon's a fraud! This kid broke in and stole my property!" Stan explained.
"He's been trying to steal the Shack all summer!" I added.
"Arrest him, officers!" Mabel added.
"Yeah!" Dipper huffed.
"Such accusations! Mr. Pines, I recall you gave the property to me. Look, here's the deed right here!" Gideon lied pulling out the deed.
"Well that's all the proof I need to see." Bulbs said.
"I love you, Lil' Gideon! Sing them funny songs!" Durland exclaimed.
"Hey! That's so unfair! We deserve at least a trial! Look I have a picture of Gideon breaking into our safe!" I cried and showed them the picture on my phone.
"That could have been photoshopped. It's easy with those fancy gadgets now a days." Blubs shrugged.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW!?" I yelled and was about to march right over when I was grabbed by one of Gideon's guards along with Stan and the twins.
"HEY! PUT ME DOWN!" I cried and struggled through his strong grip.
"Hey!" Mabel cried as well.
"Now get off my property, old man!" Gideon spat and slapped one of his pins on Stan.
"I'll show you who's the old man!" Stan cried then winced. "Ow, my hearing aid! Ow!" He groaned as we got carried of the stage.
"Thanks for visiting Gideonland, friends! Don't come back, I don't care for y'all." Gideon waved.
"YOU ENJOY THIS WHILE IT LASTS GIDEON! BY THE TIME ITS ALL OVER, YOU'LL
NEVER BE TRUSTED AGAIN!" I warned as we we were thrown out.
"Don't worry, guys. We'll get the shack back somehow." Dipper tried to to assure us.
"We better." Wendy said, appearing beside us.
"Wendy!" Dipper gasped.
"If I can't work at the Shack, my dad's gonna force me to move upstate to work at my cousin's logging camp." Wendy explained.
"What? You're leaving town? But we need you here!" Dipper exclaimed.
"Yeah especially Dipper because of his giant crush on..." Soos paused when Dipper glared at him. "...you... calyptus trees! Ha! The kid loves eucalyptus trees! Saved it!" Soos laughed nervously.
"Good job Soos..." I muttered sarcastically as we heard a noise from the bushes.
"Oh man, guys. Don't look now." Wendy rolled her eyes as Robbie appeared holding a boombox.
"Take me back, Wendy! My arms are too skinny to keep holding this boombox forever!" Robbie begged.
"I was never here." Wendy deadpanned and rode away in her bike as Robbie chased after her.
"Have you been getting my texts? Do I need to send you more texts? Wendy!" Robbie cried. I rolled my eyes.
"Desperate much." I grumbled.
"Emily!" I turned and saw Nate running over. "Hey, I heard what happened. You guys okay?" He asked worriedly.
"Physically? Yes. Mentally? No. I got kicked out of my treehouse and if we don't stop this it'll be torn down." I sighed and gripped my head in annoyance.
"Where are you staying now?" Nate asked.
"Soos' grandma is taking us in...though I don't know how long. She can't feed us all forever." I said.
"Wait...I just realized, all your money was in the treehouse. Did you get it back?" He asked hopefully and I shook my head.
"It's locked in a chest, but Gideon might find it. I'll have to start from scratch." I sighed and hugged myself. "I...I don't know what to do..." I whispered and tears fell down my face as Nate hugged me and I hugged back.
For once, no headache interrupted.
Later, we were all back at Soos' house but the mood was not being uplifted by any positivity.
"This is not good. I cannot feed such a big family." Abuelita sighed sadly.
"Where are we gonna stay, Dipper? Where am I gonna put all my sweaters?" Mabel gestured to her giant suitcase filled with sweaters.
"What's Stan gonna tell Mom and Dad?" Dipper asked worriedly.
"Mr. Pines will figure something out. He always does." Soos assured them.
"Yeah, let's just try to remain calm and think of a plan for dinner." I added. Mabel's eyes then lit up.
"Grunkle Stan, can we order pizza?" Mabel called, but there wasn't any answer. I rummaged through my sleeping bag and pulled out two twenty dollar bills.
"Here, it's my 'secret stash' it should be enough." I said and Mabel took the money and rushed to the phone.
"Thanks Emily!" She called back as she dialed the number.
Later, after dinner we we're sitting around the face track and 'watching the cars race'.
"Go red car!" Mabel cried.
"Go other red car!" Soos cheered.
"This would be a lot more fun with batteries." Dipper sighed.
"Yeah, right now it's sad." I commented as Soos pushed one of the red cars, causing it to knock the other car out of place. Stan then walked in and cleared his throat. We all turned to him as he sighed heavily.
"Kids, we've got to talk. Look I've been thinking and... I can't take care of you anymore. I don't have house or a job. The plan is, you're goin' home, and Emily is going with you. She needs a home, a job and I can't provide either for her. Your bus leaves tomorrow, here are your tickets." Stan explained and pulled 3 tickets out.
WAIT WHAT!?
"But Grunkle Stan, you can't give up!" Dipper protested.
"Yeah dude, look at these faces!" Soos cried, hugging us all then nudged Mabel.
"Be cuter Mabel! Your summer depends on it!" He urged.
"Look, I lost, okay? The best thing is for you to be with your parents. And Emily should be with responsible adults. Sorry kids, Gideon won." Summer's over." Stan said and placed the three tickets on the table and walked out.
I can't believe this! Stan wanted me to leave so I could have a better future!? Wait...this might be similar to the gun situation. Stan wants me to protect the twins, and Soos can't leave Abuelita and Wendy lives here. Also I lost my treehouse.
"Mr. Pines! RECONSIDER!" Soos pleaded as he ran after Stan.
"Mabel, Emily, that's enough. If Stan won't get our home back from Gideon, then we'll have to do it ourselves." Dipper declared.
"Yeah, I've had enough of that twerp." I huffed.
"Gideon may have the upper hand, but we have something he doesn't." Mabel smirked.
"The Journal!"
"A grappling hoo- oh. The Journal...Journal!" Mabel cheered. I laughed.
The next day we made our way to the Mystery Shack that was now fenced in. Mabel made a squirrel friend and fed it an acorn.
"Alright, the bus to take us out of Gravity Falls comes at sundown. If we wanna stay in town we've got to get past those guards, make it through the fence, and get Gideon to hand over that deed." Dipper explained.
"Leave that to Mabel. Wa-chaw!" Mabel cried and shot her grappling hook, which his a tree and ricochet onto Dipper's face.
"Ah!" He screamed as he fell back.
"You okay?" I winced as Dipper stood up.
"Now will you admit the grappling hook is useless?!" Dipper asked.
"Nope!" Mabel said simply.
"What are we gonna do with you?" I sighed shaking my head.
"Okay. What can we use to defeat Gideon? Let's see... Barf fairy?" Dipper thought.
"Yeah!" Mabel cried.
"Nope. Butternut Squash with a Human Face and Emotions?"
"Yeah!"
"Nope." Dipper flipped through the pages and Mabel stopped him.
"Whoa, what's this?" Mabel asked.
"I stared at this page for hours. It seems like a blueprint to build some kind of strange futuristic super-weapon..." Dipper was then cut off by his twin.
"BORING! To defeat those guards we need some kind of army." Mabel said.
"Or we could throw him down the bottomless pit. Just throwing it out there." I suggested.
"...wait a minute! An army! Guys, that's it! The gnomes!" Dipper exclaimed showing us the page with the gnome entry.
"Uhh..." Mabel nervously tugged in her sweater collar.
"Okay fine, but if they try to marry Mabel again I'll never let you live it down." I declared standing up.
"Come on, we have to hurry!" Dipper urged and we rushed to the woods. Once we made it there we looked around.
"Is this it? I've never been here before." I asked, looking around.
"I think this is their hiding spot." Dipper said.
"I wonder what Gnomes do out here all alone in the forest?" Mabel wondered aloud and I saw Jeff in a tube with squirrels.
"Uh...that..." I grimaced and the twins turned.
"Aaaah!" They screamed, seeing the strange sight.
"Do do do..." Jeff paused when he saw us. "Aah! This... this is normal. This is normal for gnomes. Scrub scrub." Jeff explained and scrubbed his armpit with a squirrel.
"Yeah, sure it is." I said, rolling my eyes as Mabel and Dipper gave each other disgusted glances before looking back at Jeff.
"Well, well, well. Look who came crawlin' back. Take five, Chris." A squirrel jumped out of the tube. "You guys keep doin' what you're doin'. So, changed your mind about marryin' me, did ya Mabel?" Jeff asked hopefully.
"Ew, hardly. We need your help. And seriously, ew!" Mabel grimaced in disgust.
"You want our help? After you left me at the alter? No dice!" Jeff spat.
"There wasn't even an altar! Also you're the one that kidnapped her!" I spat, Mabel then stood in front of me.
"What if we were able to get you a new queen? One even more beautiful than me?" Mabel offered.
"Her name's Gideon, and she has lovely white hair." Dipper said.
"Yeah, and she likes magic." I added, trying not to laugh.
"Whoa. Mature woman, huh? Hey Shmebulock, get my cologne!" Jeff ordered.
"Shmebulock!" The said gnome came in carrying a bottle of cologne.
"Is Shmebulock all you can say?" Jeff asked.
"Shmebulock..." I gave a sad look at Shmebulock as he nodded sadly.
"It's a deal!" Jeff declared and shook hands with Dipper.
After coming up with a quick plan, we made our way to the Shack and the gnomes hid while we yelled for Gideon. Bud saw us and I guess he went to get his son because Gideon arrived with two bodyguards a few seconds later.
"Give us the deed to the shack, Gideon, or else." Dipper demanded.
"Am I supposed to say, 'Or else what?'" Gideon laughed.
"Yes, you are supposed to say that. Now!" Mabel yelled and the bodyguards collapsed, being hit by gnomes, and the army showed itself.
"Go, go, go, go! Move it, or lose it!" I cried and Gideon was surrounded.
"You're surrounded by an unstoppable gnome army, now give us back our deed and get off our property!" Dipper exclaimed.
"And let the marriage ceremony begin!" Jeff added and I face-palmed. Gideon sighed and reached into his jacket.
"Very well. I suppose this deed belongs to..." Gideon whipped out his whistle and blew on it hard, the gnomes screamed in agony covering their ears.
"Ha! What do you know! Works on gnomes too!" Gideon laughed and blew in the whistle again.
"Stop! We'll do anything! How can we serve you your majesty! The most beautiful girl we've ever seen!" Jeff cried, bowing to Gideon.
"I am not a girl!" Gideon cried angrily. I burst out laughing.
"Really? But your skin is so soft. You moisturize, or..." Jeff asked feeling Gideon's arm.
"Subdue them!" Gideon ordered, pointing at the twins and me. The gnomes charged at us and we struggled against their grip, but man are they stronger then they look!
"I have to admit, kids, I am impressed by your creativity! How did you ever..."
"We are all older that you!" I spat. Seriously, why'd he always call us 'kids'?
"Let go!" Dipper grunted and Journal 3 fell out of his jacket. "Oh no!" He cried.
"No! Could it be? Is it!?" Gideon gasped and ran over to it, flipping through the pages.
"Of course! It all makes sense! The one place I'd never think to look! You had it the whole time! And to think I actually considered you a threat!" Gideon laughed as he flicked Dipper's nose.
"No! Give it back!" Dipper cried, reaching for the Journal.
"Every victory you had was because of your precious book!" Gideon said smugly.
"That's not true!" I protested.
"Give it back or I'll...!"
"Or you'll what, boy? You'll what? Huh? Huh? No muscles. No brains. Face it! You're nothin' without this! Bye bye forever, y'all!" Gideon waved and blew the whistle and gnomes dragged us away.
"NOOOOOO!" Dipper cried and we were dragged away. Once we were far enough the gnomes dropped us in the path and ran into the forest.
"Next time, do your own dirty work, come on boys!" Jeff spat at us before letting a couple squirrels in his pants. Ew, just ew.
"Well, that's it. Guess the bus should be here soon." Dipper sighed.
"What? Dipper, don't give up! You always have a plan!" Mabel protested.
"Yeah she's right, we can figure something else out." I added.
"No! The journal always has a plan or figures something out! Think about it, guys, Gideon was right. The only courageous or cool things I've ever done have been because of that journal. Without it, I can't help you, or Stan, or anyone." Dipper said defeatedly.
"Come on, you've done amazing stuff with and without the Journal." I said.
"No, I haven't. The Journal always has a connection to my achievements one way or another." Dipper said.
"There's gotta be something we can do." Mabel said.
"What can we do?" Dipper asked. No one said anything.
Later I was all packed. I managed to get my satchel before Gideon kicked us out the first time, it had some rope and beef jerky in it. I had my phone and it's charger and I was waiting for the bus when Nate came.
"I'm really sorry Nate, but Stan wants me to stay with the twins. He thinks I'll have a better future in California." I explained and he hugged me.
"I'll miss you." He said and I hugged back, and gave him a peck on the cheek.
"I'll miss you too. I'll miss everyone, but I'll be back. Promise." I said and I gave Wendy a hug as well.
I knew I was coming back, but I still feel sad saying goodbye. I joined the twins as the bus pulled up.
"Bus 52, departing Gravity Falls, all aboard." The announcer said and we trudged in and went to the back of the bus to look out the window. Stan was there staring back.
"Sorry kids, it's for the best." Stan sighed and the bus left as Wendy and Nate waved sadly and Candy and Grenda hugged each other.
"I can't believe this is happening." Dipper said and we passed a sign reading 'Now leaving Gravity Falls'.
A few minutes later I was laying down on the seat in front of the twins. Just staring at the ceiling. Dipper looked out the window sadly.
"Hey guys, wanna play bus seat treasure hunt?" Mabel asked, attempting to lift our spirits.
"I'm not in the mood." Dipper replied.
"Well, I got nothing better to do. What is it?" I asked, sitting up.
"You look under the seat cushion and find whatever's on the other side." Mabel explained and lifted up a seat cushion.
"We got Canadian coins, gum that shaped like Ronald Reagan's head, ooh! Miscellaneous fluid stain." Mabel said, pointing to the objects.
"Um...that's a bit gross." I grimaced.
"Giant robot!" Dipper cried.
"Yeah, a giant robot...Wait, what?" Mabel asked.
"Look!" Dipper pointed outside and we saw the Gideon not running towards us.
"HOLY CRAP!" I exclaimed.
"Halt! I command you to halt!" Gideon demanded from inside the robot and we screamed.
"Mr. Bus driver! There is a giant Gideon bot coming towards us!" Mabel cried as we ran to the driver.
"Oh hey dudes!" Soos greeted, turning out to be a driver.
"Soos!" We exclaimed happily.
"Are we glad to see you. Now about that robot..." I said hopefully.
"Don't worry guys. I've been a part-time bus driver for at least 40 minutes. One of these is probably a clutch..." Soos said and pulled on said clutch and the speed of the bus increased.
"Hang on dudes!" Soos cried as we zoomed down the road and the Gideon bot had to catch up to us.
"Soos look out!" Mabel cried as Gideon bot's hand blocked our path. Soos swerved the bus and smashed through a sign that read 'Road Closed'. And up the mountain we go.
"He already won! What does he want from us?" Dipper asked.
"A cookie! He's Gideon, I don't know anymore!" I cried.
"I got you in my sight!" Gideon cried from the bot.
"Soos, cliff!" Dipper exclaimed. Soos hit the break and the bus screeched to a stop and part of the bus was off the cliff so we couldn't move.
"Mabel, Dipper, you two head down to the mine tracks!" I ordered and the twins ran out of the bus. Gideon picked up the bus and shoot it until the kid was torn off and Soos quickly looked through the bus manual.
"Okay. What's closest to our present situation? Raccoon in the engine or angry grandparent won't leave bus?...Proba-probably the second one." Soos said after a moment.
"None of those tips will be useful!" I cried and the Gideon bot turned seeing the Pines twins on the bridge. He then jumped on it as Soos and I ran out of the buss and rum aged through my satchel and pulled out the rope.
"Tell me! Where is Journal #1?!" The Gideon not cried, I couldn't hear the rest as I tied one end of the rope to a rock.
"Soos, lower me down!" I whisper yelled as I tired the other end around my waist.
"Are you sure?" Soos asked.
"DO IT!" I screamed and that scared Soos into doing it.
"I don't know what you're talking about! You took the only journal I ever had! What do you even want with these journals anyway?" Dipper asked as I was lowered onto the tracks and untied myself before hiding as Gideon picked up the twins.
"Let go of her!" Dipper cried, hitting the robots hand.
"Ha ha ha, you still think you're some kind of hero?" Gideon laughed as he tossed Dipper away on the cliff.
"Once I find the final journal I'll rule this town! With you as my queen!" Gideon exclaimed holding Mabel.
"Dipper! Help me! HELP!" Mable cried and I stood in front of Gideon.
"ENOUGH GIDEON! YOU HAVE GONE TOO FAR!" I shouted. Gideon stopped and looked down.
"And how do you plan on stopping me?" Gideon taunted.
"I DON'T HAVE TO! YOU ARE ONLY MAKING THINGS WORSE FOR YOURSELF! I WARNED YOU THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN, AND YOU IGNORED ME! NOW IT'S TIME YOU FACE THE CONSEQUENCES! STARTING NOW!" I exclaimed.
Before he could react a scream was heard and Gideon turned around, only to have Dipper crash into his eye. The bot fell down and I stumbled backwards and fell on my bottom.
"Ow! Also! Wooo! Go Dipper!" I cheered. I stood up, as the Gideon bot began to stumble around and do fighting poses. Suddenly the bot's hand punched itself and chased a head spin.
"Careful in there!" Mabel cried, clutching the thumb.
"Mabel, jump!" I called up, holding my arms out and she leapt into my arms.
"Emily! Thanks! Also how'd you know Dipper would do that?" Mabel asked. I smiled down at her.
"Cause I know Dipper. He's stronger than he thinks." I explained simply, which was true, just I shouldn't tell her about the whole 't.v. show thing'.
Suddenly the bot fell and the bridge gave away and we all started to fall. Mabel let go of me and I fell towards the bot. I could barley hear Soos cry for us as I saw Mabel reach for Dipper and hit my head on something hard before blacking out.
"Emily...Emily..."
I can't see anything, wait did someone say my name?
"Emily...everything is okay."
Yeah I just fell off a cliff and blacked out. How is that okay?
"You're fine, but you'll need to wake up."
I'm sleeping? Really? Didn't feel like I'd take a nap in the middle of the air.
"Emily...the twins still need you...Gravity Falls needs you..."
They do? Wait...this is the voice that told me my secret was safe from Bill!
"Emily, open your eyes. It's alright."
That voice felt warm and trusting, unlike when Bill haunts my dreams. I peaked my eyes open and saw I was inside what remained of the Gideon bot.
"Ug, my head..." I muttered and I tried to stand up. "Oh, my ankle! That hurts!" I squeaked, gripping my right ankle. My necklace then started to glow. A few pulses later and my ankle felt fine, but I was a bit tired. That I can live with.
"GRAPPING HOOK! Told you it will come in handy!" Mabel cried and I stood up, heading outside.
"Mabel, that was amazing!" Dipper exclaimed once the two landed.
"Not amazing as you defeating that robot!" Mabel grinned, nudging her brother and he saw Journal 3.
"Hey! My journal!" Dipper cried and picked it up and they noticed me.
"Emily!" They cried and each gave me a hug.
"Are you two alright?" I asked.
"Yeah! But what about you?" Mabel asked as we broke the hug and I shrugged.
"Eh, nothing broken." I assured her.
"That's a relief." Dipper said and we hugged again as police sirens wailed and we turned to be faced with nearly half the town.
"Is this the thing that exploded?"
"What's going on?"
"What is that? It's over here!"
Everyone stared in shock and kept muttering to themselves, not seeming to care that we almost died. Then Gideon came out of his robot, his weird suit almost gone. Blubs and Durland ran over to him.
"Gideon! Oh, good heavens! What on earth happened here?" Durland asked after hugging the little wolf in sheep's clothing.
"It was the Pines twins and Emily! They tried to attack me and blow up my statue with dynamites! Arrest 'em!" Gideon lies.
"What!?" We exclaimed as they held out handcuffs.
"Officers, he's lying!" Dipper protested.
"We were on the bus for crying our loud, so many witnesses can vouch for us!" I exclaimed in frustration.
"Sorry kids, but we trust Gideon. And nothing short of a miracle would ever change our..." Blubs was cut off by Stan came in with his car screaming.
"Like that one?" I said smugly.
"Wait! Wait! Stop everything! I've got somethin' to say!" Stan cried.
"Not this guy again." Blubs sighed.
"Just wait! Look! You guys all think Gideon is so perfect and honest, 'Oh! I could never tell a lie! I'm Gideon!'" Stan said, mocking Gideon at the last bit.
"He's more honest than you!" Blubs huffed.
"Yeah! And he's psychic too!" Durland added. Here is comes...
"How's this for psychic? Bam!" Stan kicked a panel down from the Gideon bot. "Take a good look!" Stan pointed to the several screens that showed camera footage.
"Wait a minute, is that me?" Lazy Susan asked, lifting her lazy eye up.
"The secret ingredient to my coffee omelet is coffee!" Lazy Susan said from the t.v.
"Huh, well, I'll still eat it." I said.
"And me!" Toby gasped looking at another screen.
"I can verify that that birthmark is indeed disgusting." The doctor on the screen deadpanned.
"Hooray!" Toby cheered for some reason.
"That's me! That's me!" The crowed exclaimed pointing to the screen in shock.
"That's right, these pins are hidden cameras! And my hearing aid was picking up the feedback! Who's the fraud now?" Stan explained and broke the pin revealing the camera and everyone else threw their pins on the ground and glared at Gideon.
"Eh...heh heh..." Gideon giggled awkwardly.
"Gideon, we gave you our trust..." Durland said as the crowd walked towards him.
"You LIED to us!" Manly Dan cried angrily.
"Please, I... It's not what it looks like... What are you gonna do with me?" Gideon asked as he was backed up onto part of the robot arm.
"Tyler?" Durland asked and everyone turned to Tyler who shed a tear.
"Get 'im...Get 'im!" Tyler sniffled sadly.
"Lil' Gideon, you are under arrest for conspiracy, fraud, and breaking our hearts. Durland, the tiny handcuffs." Blubs said and whipped his glasses as Durland took out the handcuffs.
"How was 'invasion of privacy' not on there?" I muttered to myself as Durland placed the handcuffs on Gideon.
"Wha-no!" Gideon cried as he was led to the police car.
"Just one more thing." Stan said and grabbed Gideon, shaking him.
"Let go of me! Ow! Ow! Ow!" Gideon cried as multiple stuff fell out, including the deed and Journal 2, both of which Stan picked up.
"I believe this belongs to me." Stan smiled proudly, showing the deed.
"Hey Gideon!" The child fraud turned to me and I smirked. "We won." I smirked and he glared.
"No! No! Watch the hair! You can't do this to me! Y'all are sheep! You need me! I'll be back! You'll hear from my lawyers!" Gideon cried as he was taken away.
"And good riddance!" I spat.
"There you have it. Local hero Stanford Pines has just exposed Li'l Gideon as a fraud. Anything you have to say to the town, Stanford?" Shandra asked.
"The Mystery Shack is back, baby!" Stan exclaimed and we all cheered.
"EMILY!" I turned and saw Wendy, Nate, Lee and Thompson rushing towards me.
"Hey guys!" I waved and Nate hugged me.
"Are you okay? That was insane!" Nate asked.
"I'm good. Believe me. Also, told ya I'd be back!" I joked and we laughed. Though a headache came, but I ignored it.
Not too long after we were at the gift shop and it was PACKED! Several people saw the news and was super excited, one guy even wanted Stan's autograph.
"Ahaha! Oh, thank you, thank you!" Stan laughed, everyone just looked so happy. I was too. I moved back into my treehouse and Soos gave me my satchel back so I had my phone again. Now I was helping the twins unpack in their bedroom.
"Hey, Grunkle Stan!" Mabel waved as Stan walked in.
"Uh, you kiddos settlin' back in okay?" He asked.
"Yep! All of my favorite moldy spots on the ceiling are still there! Even you, Daryl." Mabel said as 'Daryl' dripped on the floor.
"Hey, Grunkle Stan, me and Mabel have been talking, And I think there's something we should finally tell you." Dipper said and they sat on his bed as I sat on Mabel's bed.
"This is a journal I found in the woods." Dipper handed the Journal to Stan. "It talks about all the crazy stuff that goes on in Gravity Falls. Gideon nearly destroyed the whole town trying to find it. I don't know what it means, or who wrote it. But, after all we've been through, maybe you should finally know about it." Dipper explained and Stan closed the book.
"I'm glad you showed me this, Dipper...AHAHAHA! Now I know where you've been getting it all from! Spookums and monsters. This spooky book has been filling your head with crazy conspiracies!" Stan laughed, ruffling Dipper's head.
"But it's all real!" Dipper protested.
"Haha. You gotta quit readin' this fantasy nonsense for your own good. Although some of these would make great attractions! Can't come up with this stuff! Mind if I borrow this?" Stan asked, standing up.
"Wait, no! Grunkle Stan!" Dipper pleaded.
"Magic book! Ridiculous!" Stan laughed leaving the attic.
"Stan, I need it!" Dipper cried.
"Dipper, you don't need that book! Don't you see? On your own you defeated a giant robot with nothing but your bare hands! You're a hero whether you've got that journal or not!" Mabel said.
"Yeah, if it weren't for you, Gideon would have probably taken over the town." I added.
"Whoa. Thanks, guys. I still want it back though." Dipper said.
"I'm sure you'll get it back. What would a boring old man like Stan want with that book anyway?" Mabel asked. I tried not to laugh. Suddenly were were sprayed with water and Soos appeared out of a cardboard box.
"Soos-ed!" He cried.
"Oh you're going down!" I laughed as the twins and I chased after him. We all laughed happily and I smiled.
I just finished the 1st season of Gravity Falls, and more crazy adventures to come. Like Mabel's sweater, the show is getting darker.
Bring it on!
