Hi! I hope people like this story, especially one person (you know who you are), who had favorited me as a author EVEN THOUGH I had no stories :D - Disclaimer: I do not own Gravity Falls :(

Candy walked over to the Mystery Shack. Even though Dipper wasn't her boyfriend anymore, she still liked to visit him and Mabel.

Okay, maybe Candy still liked Dipper.

Just a little.

But it was enough to make her want to hear his (and Mabel's) stories. When she walked into the living room, Grenda, Mabel, and Dipper were there. "Hi Candy! Have a seat!" Mabel called. Candy sat down. "Okay, next up: The Sock Opera!" Mabel spooikly said. "Hold on!" Grenda asked. "That was your puppet show!" " Yup! And we're going to tell you all the details! ALL of them! " Mabel yelled. "Hold on," Dipper said warily. "Everything?" " They deserve to know! " Mabel countered. "Fine." So he and Mabel told Candy and Grenda everything . Bipper. The laptop. Backstage. By the end of it, Candy felt upset. She liked Dipper, but she didn't think he liked her. She wanted to make him happy, whether he knew it was her doing or not.

The next day, Candy pondered how to help Dipper. He had seemed upset about the puppet show incident, so... But there wasn't anything that she could do about that. Candy slumped down on her bed, ready to admit defeat, when she realized... She could! The other day, Mabel told her about Blendin Blandin, the time traveler! He had a magic tape measure that was basically a time machine! If Candy got that, she could go back to the date of the puppet show! But how? Candy realized, if she wanted to even get close to obtaining one, she would have to talk to Mabel and Dipper's Grunkle Ford. Dipper told her he had one, so she could ask him! From what Mabel had told her, he seemed like a reasonable guy...

"No, nope, no, and absolutely not!" Ford said . He unlocked the case where he kept his time tape. "Time travel is WAY too dangerous!" " Why? " Candy asked. "I only want to help Dipper ! What's so dangerous about that?" " What's so dangerous?! " Ford exploded. "What's so dangerous!? You could screw up everything! Take me out of existence! For all I goddamn know, you could hurl your two best friends into the Nightmare Realm or worse! " Candy looked down. "How would I hurl Mabel and Grenda in the Nightmare Realm? That's like, impossible!" Ford rolled his eyes. "What I'm saying is, Time travel is WAY too dangerous for anyone! Well, except for professionals. But that's beside the point! You can not borrow my time machine, Candy! Accept it! " Candy trod out of the basement, her heart heavy. She was upset.

If she couldn't borrow it, she would have to "borrow" it.

In other words, Candy was going to steal a time machine tonight.

For the good of her friends!

Later that night, Candy slunk over to the Mystery Shack She had to get that time tape! But... Candy had no idea what the code was.

Argh! I came this far, and I'm not stopping now! Candy angrily thought. She spotted Dipper's mysterious journal on the table. "Hmmm... Maybe this has the code..." Candy mused. She spotted strange symbols on a page. I guess it's worth a try! she thought, punching in the code. The doors to the elevator opened.

Candy slowly slipped into the elevator. She pressed the button that said, "3" She felt the elevator rumble as she was lowered into the basement.

The doors opened.

Candy found herself in a cool underground lab. She spotted the UFO keychain on a table. Candy reached towards it, wary of traps...

And nothing happened. Candy grabbed the keychain and walked over to the vault. She unlocked the case with the tape in it. No alarms. Candy quickly went up the elevator, and out of the shack. Then, she climbed up the blanket rope that she made to get to her bedroom. "Okay..." She looked at the clock . 6:18. "Okay... Three weeks, 18 hours ..." She pulled back the tape, and...

let go.

Time Travel was a odd sensation, Candy thought. But she had no more time to dwell on this, because she ended up at noon, in the Mystery Shack. Outside, she saw, herself, Grenda, Mabel, and Dipper. "Yes!" Candy said to herself.

" Well I can help you! With tickles! " PastMabel said in a puppet voice, tickling PastDipper under the arm. "Hahaha!" PastMabel and her BFFs giggled. PastDipper punched the puppet. "Fine! I'll do it myself!" He stomped indoors and started up the stairs. "Wait! Dipper!" Candy yelled. PastDipper turned around. "Oh you! What now!" He said, glancing out the window. "Wait..." He said, looking at PastCandy. "hold onnn..." "Dipper! Ignore the laptop! Don't take Bill's deal! No puppets! " She yelled. PastDipper looked at her like she was crazy, but then he saw the time machine in her hand. "Wait! You're from the future!" " Right! " Candy knew she couldn't stick around long, so she pulled the tape measure out and vanished.

Authors note: PastDipper, PastMabel, ect, are now referred to as Dipper, Mabel, ect -

Dipper rolled his eyes. "Candy, disappear on me! Not cool! " He pulled out the laptop. I know she ied warned me, but I'm careful! Type. Eernt. Type. Eerntt. Dipper yawned. 'Too Many Failed Entries! ' "Huh?" Dipper said. 'Initiate Data Erase in 5:00 ' "Oh no no! I'm going to lose everything!" He glanced at the one try slot left. "I only have one more try!" Bill materialized . "Someone's looking desprate!" " Leave me alone! " Dipper yelled. "Just hear out my demands! I don't want much!" The laptop was down to 2:30 now. "Ugh! What do you even want?" "Only a 3-second portal connection! A portal will open for 3 seconds ! " "And what would you do with that?" Dipper asked. "Besides, Candy warned me NOT to make a deal!" Beep. Beep. The laptop was down to 1:00. "You want the password, right? I'll give you it, and I'll get a 3sec portal connection!" '30 seconds left!' the laptop blared. "Ugh! Fine!" The shook hands. Bill typed in, 'STANFORD' in the slots. The laptop sprung open. " Yes! " Dipper shouted. "And now..." Bill opened the portal.

Right under Mabel and Grenda's feet.

Dipper watched, horrified, as Mabel and Grenda were swept into another dimension...

Future:

Candy returned, triumphant. She ran over to the Mystery Shack. "Dipper! Mabel!" Dipper woke up. Mabel wasn't there. "Mabel?" Candy asked. " Oh crap. " Dipper said. "What?" "It was true. " he murmered, glassy-eyed. "What?" " Mabel! " His face twisted up in pain. "She's in the Nightmare Realm! The timeline got messed up!" Doubt and suspicion quickly turned to horror as Candy realized what she had done.

"The timeline is messed up, Candy!"

The horrible truth settled around them.

"What the hell did you do, Candy?"

Hope you like so far! (I am writing this at midnight) Will try to quickly update. See you all soon!
