Dipper Wendy and Alex located the Fairy Tunnels before Dippers phone started ringing.

"Hello? Pacifica hi! You guys and Grenda are coming to help? Good, I'll leave a beacon Marker for you to zero in on." Dipper said before pulling out the gadget he described.

"Did Uncle Ford come up with that?" Alex asked.

"Nope, Dipper." Wendy replied proudly. "We have a tendency to get separated when encountering the paranormal so tracking beacons help."

Dipper set up the Beacon Marker and took out his flashlight as Wendy took out her own.

"Dad you stick close to Wendy, she'll keep you safe." Dipper said peeking into the Fairy Tunnels. "Looks to be rather straight forward."

"Son this is clearly a maze of tunnels if we split up we will get lost and at least one of us may never see the light of day ever again." Alex protested.

"Mr Pines are you forgetting just how smart Dipper really is?" Wendy asked. "It just takes him a glance at a maze puzzle to figure the fastest route. If Dipper says he knows the way out he's gonna get us out."

"Plus I can determine how far the tunnels go through observing the surrounding area. I've trekked these woods with Wendy for months and we are really close to a mountainous ledge, the tunnels aren't going to be that deep." Dipper explained.

"And what about navigating the tunnels?" Alex asked.

"I've studied the various tunneling patterns of Moles Ants and Gnomes."

"Gnomes?"

"Gnomes have a system of tunnels they use during the colder months. They stay on the surface during the summer since it floods apparently" Dipper explained.

"It's also their breeding season apparently, but can you blame them? No form of contraception and wanting to stay warm. Fords studies show that the colder the winter the higher the Gnome population growth will be come Spring and Summer." Wendy elaborated.

"I think we should wait for Tyrone and the others." Dipper said.

"Are they close?" Alex asked.

Just then a strong gust of wind came down from above as the Northwest Helicopter hovered above them. Grenda jumped down before Tyrone and Pacifica followed being caught by the very muscular girl.

"Well, that answers my question."

Once everyone was up to speed Dipper lead the group into the tunnels.

"Every tunneling species, natural or supernatural, keeps their storage cavity in a rather direct path from the entrance for efficiency purposes, other tunnels are to confuse unintelligent invaders." Dipper explained as 5 minutes into the trek a group of fairies were soon found.

"greetings humans!" The fairies shouted from their tiny mouths.

"Where is Ariel Pines! We know you abducted her! Take us to her!" Dipper demanded.

"well certainly! follow us the ceremony is nearly completed!"

Meanwhile at the Shack Connor found Mabel and wanted to ask her a question.

"Mabel, I'm hungry. Can I have a snack?" Connor asked politely.

"Sure thing Connor. You know who would love a snack? Waddles! Come here boy!" Mabel cried out for her pig.

"I don't think he can hear you." Connor said.

"Why not?" Mabel asked.

"I put him outside to do his business." Connor replied.

"Oh no Connor!" Mabel said worried before rushing outside.

"Did I do something wrong?" Connor asked.

"You didn't know Connor. Now go find Soos!" Mabel instructed before running out and taking a Baseball Bat with her.

"Mom?!"

"Honey?!"

"Mrs Pines?!" Dipper Alex and Wendy called out as they followed the Fairies.

"there is no need to call out humans dipper and wendy. she is in the direction i am leading you." Explained the Fairy Escorting the group.

"Forgive me if it seems like I don't trust you, but you took my mother!" Dipper exclaimed.

"the ceremony is nearly complete you will be given your mother once it is over."

"I read Fords journal entries about Fairy abductions, I'm not letting you take my little brother or sister!" Dipper said as they reached the ceremonial chamber.

When Dipper Wendy Alex Tyrone Pacifica and Grenda finally saw what the 'ceremony' was they were quite confused.

"Dipper Alex! Hello!" Ariel cried out as she was laying on a large tree stump. "The ceremony is nearly finished. Come sit."

"Mom what is going on?" Dipper asked as dozens of Fairies were dancing in midair scattering flower petals and fairy dust over Ariel and her baby bump.

"greetings saviors of gravity falls! your maternal parent and the child growing inside her have been selected to be blessed by the fairies!" Said multiple Fairies in unison.

"Blessed?" Wendy asked.

"yes. for destroying the insane god-like menace known as bill cipher we thank you by blessing the unborn child." The Fairies say, again, in unison.

"Turns out there was a small window of opportunity so they had to take me quickly rather than wait to ask permission." Ariel explained.

"But you didn't leave a note or anything." Alex said after taking his wifes hand and kissing her forehead.

"I was hoping the ceremony would be over and I'd be returned before anyone noticed." Ariel explained further.

"So you're not stealing the baby?" Dipper asked once more for clarification.

"of course not! you're thinking of uncivilized fairies that live is swaps and bogs." One fairy replied.

"Then why are we in a tunnel underground?" Tyrone asked.

"we are in the middle of renovations."

Mabel rushed out to the area of the woods where Waddles likes to roam in search of mushrooms and truffles. Unfortunately it was not close to the Shack at all and Mabel was quite distressed when she found Waddles.

"Waddles come on! We gotta go! Who knows what's out here?" Mabel asked her pig knowing he can't reply.

Meanwhile a pair of eyes watched Mabel and Waddles from the treetops hungrily...
