Somewhere in Gravity Falls, there's a cave where the cloaked vampires were standing outside, guarding it.
"Hey." The vampire said to his co-worker.
"Yeah?" Asked the other vampire.
"Do you know why we're here?" The vampire asked.
"You mean, why are we guarding this cave?" The other vampire asked. "Or here as in, what the meaning for our existence is?"
"No, I mean, why are we guarding this cave?" The vampire asked.
"Dude, did you not pay attention?"
"You know I never pay attention when King Darryl is talking."
The vampire sighed. "I never listen to him as well. Ever since his mom died, he has been more strict about the no whispering rule than anything else?"
"So, we're guarding this cave because King Darryl wants to ban whispering?" Asked the other vampire.
"No! It's the metamorphosis." The vampire replied annoyed.
"What metamorphosis?"
The vampire groaned. "You know what? If you're so curious why don't you go in there?"
The other vampire stared at his partner before continuing to guard the cave. "Okay, no rule breaking."
"But do, you know what our meaning of existence is?"
Inside the cave, Darryl on the ledge with a light blue glow, glowing on his face. He stared at what appeared to be glowing water, glowing in his face.
"Why must I follow this tradition?" Asked the vampire.
"It's what your mother would've wanted." Replied a vampire in a brown robe.
"Frank, my mother is dead, I am king, why should I follow this tradition?" Asked the vampire.
"Do you wish to look like this?" Frank asked. "Do you wish to be some freakish vampire who won't fall in your trap when you try and lure them in?"
Darryl stood to think about it before sighing and taking off his robe to reveal his pale and grotesque look. "I'm ready."
"Than jump. Who knows, you might end handsome."
"Right." Darryl turned to the other vampires who stood around the circular pool, in a bowing pose. The king spread his arms out which caused the vampires to cheer.
"Vampires, I King Darryl am about to dip into the Pool of Metamorphosis." The vampire king exclaimed. "This pool will turn me into a human! My mother did it, her father did it, his uncle did it, his step mother did it and so on, so on, yada yada. Now, begin the creepy ritual music."
The vampires sat up back straight but with their knees glued to the ground and then, they start moving their heads while chanting 'eeffoT si gnimoc. eeffoT si gnimoc. eeffoT si gnimoc.'
Darryl spread out his arms before lifting up above his head and diving into the pool.
The vampires continued chanting just as the pool started bubbling like a jacuzzi while Darryl wasn't getting out.
Than, after about 25 seconds of waiting, a human hand popped out and then blonde hair, a face that looked like a New Zealand actor, huge eyebrows and abs.
The vampire stood naked in front of his followers where they made a yell before going back into their bowing positions while Darryl stood in the pool smiling at the vampires who have followed him.
"My dear vampires, Darkness is coming." Darryl announced. "And it's gonna be a heck of an occasion, for me to look like unknown New Zealand actor, Antony Starr. But that's not important. Darkness is coming, and we will be the supreme beings as we rule the Earth in darkness and tyranny." The vampires cheered while Frank placed a robe on his master. "Let this be the week where humankind will fall as we feast on their blood!" The vampires cheered louder. "And let this be the week, Darkness achieves his century long goal of destroying the sun!" The vampires cheered even louder. "And let this be the week you all be quiet while I make my evil guy speech! I mean, good gosh people, I can't even myself think of words for my sporadic speech! I mean, come on!"
Elsewhere, Grenda and her boyfriend, Prince Marius Fundshauser were walking together hand-in-hand.
"And soon, I will be signing piece treaties with the people of Harborville, Venice and trust me when I say this, we will be sailing all the gondolas around the city of water."
"Marius, I want a gondola in Venice named after me." Grenda requested before holding his cheeks in her huge hands.
"And you shall my lady." Marius assured his girlfriend.
"And I wish to try some of their frog legs." Grenda said. "Or am I thinking of the wrong European city?"
Suddenly, the couple heard the sound of what sounded like a horse galloping. Unexpected to them, a horse stopped in front of the couple, startling the two.
"Grenda..." Grenda looked up and saw none other than the immortal Greek, Xander Ramirez. "...It is time. The Children of the Constellation, must gather."
Grenda stared at Xander with a knowing stare before that look turned into a look of determination.
Meanwhile at the old Northwest manor, Herman Trout was getting in his car to do some shopping for Old Man McGucket.
"I'm going to the store, McGucket, don't eat the soap!" Herman requested. "I know it smells nice, but it's not delectable!"
Just then, Xander and his horse crashed through the wall which looked recently repaired after Preston Northwest's reckless driving.
"Come on Xander, we just got that rebuilt." Herman complained. "Also, is your horse okay?"
"He's crashed through the great Pyramid of Giza, he's got a perfect strong head." Xander replied. "Herman, it's time for the Children of the Constellation to gather."
Herman gave Xander a knowing look and asked, "Where shall we gather?"
At the Shack, Mabel was looking at a bulletin board that had the title, 'Avoiding Marrying Gideon.' She had images of Gideon trying to look adorable, while others had random pictures of cats, dogs and pigs. Waddles jumped on her bed and started to snuggle up to her, but Mabel was too busy chewing on her pen to do anything.
"What do I do?" Mabel asked herself. "I don't wanna marry Gideon."
"Mabel, you've been on about it ever since you found out about it." Dipper, who was on his phone, reminded his sister.
"But...How did I end up with Gideon?!" Mabel asked. "I mean, he's a sociopath!"
"Maybe he's changed." Dipper theorised.
"Changed?" Mabel laughed. "Yeah, and Waddles is president of the mammals. I mean, why would I get married to Gideon Gleeful?! Mabel Gleeful?! That doesn't even suit me! Why can't it be Mabel Jones? Or Mabel Smith? Or, Mabel Charles Allen Esq III, I mean..." Mabel then took notice that her brother wasn't listening to her, he was on his phone texting heart emojis to Pacifica which Mabel groaned at.
"Are you serious?" Mabel asked, annoyed.
"I am serious, Mabel." Dipper replied happily. "You are happy for me right?"
"Well, you're married to Pacifica in the future and I'm married to Gideon, you ask me." Mabel replied glumly.
"Yup. I mean, didn't think my first girlfriend will eventually become the woman I marry." Dipper said happily. "I mean, isn't that just strange yet incredible?"
"Dipper, it is." Mabel replied. "But...Me marrying Gideon."
"Mabel, he's probably changed." Dipper assured his sister.
"That's what he wants us to think." Mabel theorised.
Dipper went back to looking at his phone where Pacifica had sent him a picture of herself giving a kissing face. Dipper replied to a couple of 'X's.'
Mabel stared at her brother with a disappointed look and said, "If you start singing about how great everything is, I'm gonna puke. Because I doubt anyone wants to hear you sing."
Downstairs, Pacifica was cleaning the shelf while staring at her phone, messaging Dipper at the same time. Pacifica gave a romantic sigh while Ford, Gwen, Abuelita, Stan, Soos and Melody watched.
"Aww, it's great them two are in love." Melody said while smiling.
"Yeah, but her cleaning that spot isn't gonna do anything about the rest of the dust that's all over the Shack." Stan said.
"It could." Soos theorised. "Because, who knows? Maybe that cloth is a magic cloth. Where-"
"Soos, that's a dumb yet perfect idea and I hate it." Stan said.
"Besides, we can't stop them." Gwen pointed out. "Let's not forget, they're gonna be my Mom and Dad in about 10 to 12 years."
"Oh, why does everyone Soos know have such wild imaginations?" Abuelita asked. "How come Abuelita hasn't seen such imaginative creatures?"
"You seriously don't remember Weirdmageddon?" Ford asked.
"Oh, Stanford, you have such a wild imagination." Abuelita laughed.
"How long until she believes us?" Melody asked her boyfriend.
"I say, if a man on horseback shows up." Soos theorised.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of horse shoes galloping. Ford and Gwen looked out the window and saw Xander Ramirez approaching the Mystery Shack as fast as he could.
Upstairs, Dipper and Mabel had heard the horse coming close to them that they jumped off their beds and ran outside the shack with the others.
Everyone, including stared at Xander with amazement as he jumped off his horse without breaking a bone.
"Good morning." The immortal man greeted.
"Oh Dios mío." Abuelita said as she stared at the old man while blushing.
"I think she believes us now." Soos said.
"Xander, what are you doing here?" Ford asked.
"Well, I'm here and I think it should be obvious." Xander replied.
"Is it time?" Pacifica asked the immortal man.
"I think it's best if we talk inside." Xander replied. "You, Mason, Stanford and Waddles."
The members of the children entered the Shack with the immortal man following them. Xander took notice of Abuelita and gave her a flirtatious wink which the old lady blushed at.
"Oh my." Abuelita gave a romantic sigh. "Cuando lo vuelva a ver, le arrancaré esa ropa."
"What did she say?" Mabel asked Soos who looked traumatised.
"Probably best I don't translate." Soos replied.
"I learnt Spanish in Columbia, I could translate." Stan offered.
"No!" Soos exclaimed while Stan stood, looking surprised by the reaction.
In the kitchen, Xander was helping himself to a can of Pitt Cola while being watched by the remaining Children.
"I didn't understand the appeal of these drinks before, but now I do." Xander said before he took a sip of his drink. "Leaves a funny feeling in my mouth though."
"Anyway Xander, what is it?" Ford asked as he stroked Waddles.
"I think Pacifica got the right idea." Xander replied. "It is time."
Everyone gave Xander an accepting look while looking at each other, knowing what needed to be done.
"Are you sure?" Dipper asked.
"Indeed I am Mason." Xander confirmed. "I checked my calendar and it is time. Darkness will be here in one day and unless we do something about it, it's bye bye sun, hello darkness."
"Three days?" Ford reacted.
"Why tell us now?" Dipper asked.
"Because, every time Darkness comes near, I warn my fellow members all about his oncoming storm so I could at least give them some free time." Xander said. "Because, I may be an immortal madman, but I'm a respectable one. Don't waste your time, take your time to do the things you wish to do in case you die at the hands of Darkness or vampires. This one day, shall be perfect for me since I just started this online dating thing and I'm looking for someone with the name of Abby42."
"Oh that will be me." Said the voice of Abuelita. "You have one day, guapo, how about we go out, now?"
Xander smiled and adjusted his red suit, "Well, looks like I got a date. Gotta do something before the final countdown."
Xander got off his seat and started to follow Abuelita, who was leading him outside the Shack and saying something in Spanish which was quite dirty.
Everyone was a little worried and kind of petrified about this piece of disturbing news.
"I'm going into the lab to work with Gwen." Ford said before getting off his chair. "Gwen, I need you in the lab!"
"But it's my day off!" Gwen argued.
"Don't argue, I need to finish the mind wiping device." Ford said. "I need to forget something."
After Ford was gone, it was just Dipper and Pacifica left in the kitchen to discuss what to do with the remaining hours.
Pacifica and Dipper stared at each other before giving each other a loving smile before holding each other's hands.
"So, is there anything you wish to do tonight?" Pacifica asked her boyfriend. "We have one day before we need to complete our destiny."
"Well, what would you like to do?" Dipper asked.
"Whatever you like." Pacifica replied.
"Actually, I find it unfair if I chose where we're going next." Dipper said.
"Come on Dip, tell me where you'd like to go." Pacifica begged.
"Pacifica, I can't decide where to go." Dipper responded. "I really can't decide."
"Come on." Pacifica pleaded.
"Ah! Just pick a location!" Mabel demanded. "I hate it when a couple can't agree on somewhere to go!" Mabel groaned before walking away from them.
"Is she okay?" Pacifica asked her boyfriend.
"She's been a bit sour ever since she found out about who she's gonna be married to." Dipper replied. "And she's quite angry about it. Like that time she watched the last Star Battles movie."
The mention of Star Battles made Pacifica smile. "Dipper, my cousin Katie told me that the Gravity Falls theatre is having a Star Battles marathon and starts in 5 hours, if you're interested."
Dipper stared at his amazing girlfriend in wide eyed surprise over her suggestion. "I wanted to suggest that, but I thought you wouldn't be interested."
"Well, they're growing on me." Pacifica said to her boyfriend. "And also, me getting used to not seeing you without a hat." Pacifica smiled as she kissed her boyfriend on his cheek while Gwen smiled at the sight in the background.
"Can't believe those two will be my parents." Gwen said to herself.
"Gwen, get down here!" Ford shouted. "I need someone to erase my memory!"
Meanwhile, Herman Trout was walking among the tombstones at the Valentino funeral home. He walked towards a gravestone and stopped at it.
The bodyguard/Pacifica's legal guardian stared at the gravestone looking sad and like he wanted to say something to it, but he unfortunately somehow couldn't. He sighed and reached into his pockets to pull out a red rose that he gently placed beside the gravestone.
The gravestone read 'Here lies Caroline Trout. Beloved wife and mother.' Herman gave a teary eyed smile and touched the gravestone.
"I might be seeing you soon." Herman said before walking away, back to McGucket manor.
At the Shack where Darkness was being held, the vampires were trying to move a bookshelf that was stuck on a trapdoor while Darryl and his vampire watch on in amusement.
"Aren't you gonna help?!" Asked one of the vampires.
"Well, since you kind of mocked the idea of me not wanting to whisper, I won't." Darryl responded while eating what appeared to be a red snow cone. "Hmm, who knew the snow cones would taste better in human form."
"Put it down and help us!" The vampire demanded.
"Put it down?" Darryl scoffed. "Do you see a snow cone stand anywhere in this room?"
The vampires groaned as they tried their best to remove the bookshelf off of the trapdoor. Eventually, they managed to move the bookshelf off of the trapdoor where they stood back as it burst open.
And floating out of the trapdoor was none other than the possessed Wendy, controlled by Darkness. The possessed teen spread his/her arms out while the vampires started bowing. The world was like slow motion to the demon that he/she had no spacial awareness. But he/she snapped out of it when he/she heard what appeared to be the sound of someone being impaled.
The vampires and Darkness looked and saw one of the pieces of wood, lodged in one of the vampire's chest and disintegrating into a skeleton.
Darkness stared at his mistake while the vampires were surprised, except for Darryl who just continued to eat his snow cone.
After the vampire died, everyone just went back to staring at Darkness with amazement like none of it ever happened.
"Lord Darkness." Darryl greeted the ancient space demon.
"And I assume you're the new king?" Darkness asked.
Darryl gave a smug smile. "Buddy, I'm the only human looking thing in this room feasting on a bloody snow cone. Literally, this snow cone is blood flavoured."
"Human kind has such bizarre inventions." Darkness laughed before approaching Darryl. "King Darryl, you freed me for a reason, what is it?"
Darryl smiled smugly and replied, "I have information from my spy on where the Children will gather. This could be it Lord Darkness, the end of human kind and light."
Darryl and Darkness gave each other a sinister smile before laughing madly. Darryl motioned his army to join in on the laughter which they did.
"Let's go!" Darkness shouted before using his supernatural powers to burst the wooden door into a million pieces, which caused another piece of wood to pierce into a random vampire's chest, causing him to disintegrate into a skeleton this sight made Darryl sigh.
"Listen, it's best if you open stuff because who knows where those wooden shards will end up." Darryl suggested while eating his snow cone.
Meanwhile, Dipper was straightening his leather jacket for his date with Pacifica tonight while Mabel was busy staring at the bulletin board to try and figure out how she can avoid marrying Gideon in the future.
"How do I look?" Dipper asked his sister.
Mabel sighed. "Why the leather jacket? It doesn't suit you."
"Pacifica likes it." Dipper protested.
"She's saying that because she's your girlfriend." Mabel said bitterly towards her brother.
Dipper stared at his sister feeling somewhat uncomfortable with her bitter attitude towards him and his relationship with his first real girlfriend. "Mabel, what's gotten into you? Why are you acting so bitter with me? You're not like this? Are you just bitter towards me because you're not in a relationship?"
"Bitter?!" Mabel scolded. "I'm gonna be married to the worst person on the planet while you're gonna be married to your only girlfriend!"
"Why aren't you happy?!" Dipper asked angrily. "I'm gonna be married to the most amazing girl I've ever met and gonna have two amazing children!"
"How do you know you two didn't marry so you two could make sure Gwen and Dustin were born?!" Mabel asked angrily.
Dipper froze upon the question while glaring at his twin sister but his glare quickly turn to a look of realisation. Dipper looked to the floor before walking out of the room. "I'll see you in 6 hours."
"Yeah, right." Mabel scoffed. "Go on. Go on your perfect date with a girl you'll fall out of love with."
"There's something I need to do first before going out." Dipper said.
Meanwhile, Gwen was walking towards the lab where she suddenly noticed Dipper walking out the lab looking quite angry.
"Hey, dad." Gwen greeted Dipper.
"Please don't call me that!" Dipper demanded before he walked out of the Shack.
Gwen looked surprised by her young dad's sudden burst of anger but she just shrugged it off and walked into the lab where her teacher was working on what appeared to be a holographic projection of Dipper talking.
"Hey Ford, what are you working on?" Gwen asked while Ford quickly turned the projection off.
"Just something." Ford replied. "Since I have a day left until I need to save the world from the Darkness that is Darkness and I wanna finish a device just in case I might die."
"You seriously like to finish a lot of devices." Gwen noted.
"It's a hobby." Ford replied.
"Didn't you try other hobbies?" Gwen asked. "Like knitting?"
"I do knitting." Ford replied before pulling out a ball of yarn and tossing it into a machine titled 'Knitting machine,' and in a few minutes, a red sweater shot out. "And, viola."
Gwen stared at her great Grunkle with a disappointed look. "You are sometimes disappointing."
"That's what Mabel tells me." Ford said. "Speaking of her, could you check up on her? She's kind of angry about something and I'm wondering what it is."
"Okay." Gwen responded.
As soon as Gwen left, Ford sighed sadly and pulled a photo of him and Gwen working on an invention together in the lab. In the picture, they looked annoyed at the one who was taking the photograph. Ford briefly smiled before putting the photo down and saying, "I hope to see you soon, Gwen."
Upstairs, Mabel was in her room looking stressed and close to tears over what her life will end up. "Why?! Why?!" Mabel cried.
"Mabel, I'm sorry my body hair ends up in the shower!" Stan shouted from downstairs. "Jeez, how many apologies do you need?!"
Gwen entered the bedroom to check on her dear young sad aunt, who was now hitting her head against the wall.
"Hey Aunt Mabel, you okay?" Gwen asked her aunt.
"Why should I be?" Mabel asked angrily. "I can't even bear to think that I'm gonna marry the creepy 9 year old kid from last summer."
"Actually, he should be 11 at this point." Gwen informed her aunt.
"Even worse!!!" Mabel screamed.
"Uh..." Gwen was about to say something about Mabel's comment but she just shrugged it off and approached her aunt and then putting a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Hey, I know it's hard."
"You don't!" Mabel argued before she jumped on her bed with Gwen following. "You may know him as your uncle Gideon, but to me he's Lil' Gideon, little monster of Oregon and a failed summer romance! Last summer he stalked me..." Mabel explained while using her fingers to count the things he did. "...He shrunk me, he harassed my Grunkle, he stole my Grunkle's spot, he took the deed to the shack, he made Waddles dress up as him, he tried to kill my brother with a giant robotic version of himself, he sent me creepy love letters, he tried to make his Dad mayor by controlling him and he worked with Bill! How can I marry someone like him?!"
"You think he doesn't deserve redemption?" Gwen asked.
"No! After all he's done!" Mabel replied.
"Well, I've heard stories from him and he told me at some point he actually tried to fix things with you." Gwen explained. "It was at a point, he was trying to change himself and make people forgive him. Wait, 'make' is too commanding. Point is, he did try and gain your forgiveness."
"Did he gain it?" Mabel asked her niece.
Gwen smiled. "Well, don't want to reveal too much. But, don't let this idea bring you down."
"Gwen! I need you down in the lab!" Ford shouted.
"Y'know, good talk." Gwen said to her young aunt. "Think about it, will ya? I'll be here for one more day if you wish to talk."
"Yeah, thanks Gwen." Mabel said as she pat her future niece on her back.
Gwen jumped off the bed and started to see what Ford wanted while Mabel just smiled and cuddled Waddles. "Just in case you die Waddles and be my best pig at my wedding."
Later, Gwen was walking down to the lab where Ford was pulling an optimistic smile while working on another piece of machine.
"What is it Ford?" Gwen asked.
"I'm almost done with the hologram." Ford replied happily. "I just need to get one more piece of machinery but I unfortunately can't leave the lab or otherwise the button I'm currently pushing will explode in one second."
"Why would you invent that?" Gwen asked.
"It was the only way and I'm so excited that I'm afraid I might move my finger away from the button, causing it to explode." Ford explained.
"I'm excited too!" Gwen exclaimed.
"Quick, press the button before it explode!" Ford said. "On the count of three."
Gwen moved one of her fingers towards her great Grunkle's so she can push down hard on it.
"Okay, on three." Ford announced.
"One..." Ford and Gwen counted in unison. "...Two...Three."
Ford quickly moved his finger away from the button while Gwen quickly put her finger on the button to not cause the explosion.
Ford quickly ran up the stairs while Gwen stayed down the lab to fix the button. While Ford ran out of the lab, his enthusiastic smile turned to the frown as he turned around and closed the door before using a some kind of electronic key to lock the door.
In the lab, Gwen looked quite shocked over the door closing. Just then, Gwen ran to the door and accidentally moved her finger from the button. She briefly braced herself from the explosion, but it didn't explode. "Huh?"
Gwen ran to the door and started banging against the door so Ford could open it. "Ford open it!" Gwen demanded. "Open the door!"
Just then, a bright light lit up behind the six fingered girl and she heard a voice that sounded a bit familiar.
"This is a holographic recording, so don't try and hang up." Gwen turned around and saw none other than a holographic projection of her father dressed up in a leather jacket.
"Gwen, I know you're very angry for what's happening to you but trust me this is for your own protection." The hologram Dipper continued.
"No!" Gwen exclaimed.
"Listen Gwen, you're very angry for what Ford had to do, but this was something me, your mother and great Grunkle had discussed." Dipper continued. "When we saw how worried your adult mother looked, it just haunted me and Pacifica all night long that I knew what I needed to be do." Gwen stared at the holographic projection of her father with a hint of sadness and anger as she had to listen to those words. "You're going to be going home."
"No!" Gwen exclaimed.
"And I know you're angry about it, stubborn I know." Dipper continued. "But understand, that button you have pushed has sent you back home and it only takes about two minutes according to Ford. But as your father, there's something I wish for you to do when you get back, don't throw your family away. Don't throw any of us away. Can you do that for me Gwen? Don't throw us away."
Just then, the adult Dipper ran downstairs and saw his daughter looking sad, he smiled at the sight of his daughter looking sad.
"Gwen!" Dipper exclaimed happily as he bent down to get on eye level, not even acknowledging the fact she was down in the dumps.
"Gwen, thank goodness you're okay!" Dipper exclaimed happily. "This is an amazing miracle! Are you okay?!"
Gwen's sadness than turned into a glare before she shouted, "Look what you did! It's your fault!" Gwen started hitting her father's chest which he was confused by.
"Gwen, what's wrong?" Dipper asked his daughter who continued to hit his chest. "What are you doing?!"
"It's your fault!" Gwen cried before she stopped hitting his chest and crying into his arms.
Dipper was at first confused, but he started patting on his daughter's back for comfort. "It's okay. It's okay."
Back in the past, Herman was sitting on the couch at the McGucket mansion, staring at his phone at a contact named Daniel. He sighed and pushed the button and put it to his ear.
After a few beeps, the person on the other end answered. "Hello?"
"Hi Daniel, it's me." Herman said.
"Dad? What is it?" Asked Daniel.
"Can't an old man say hi to his son?" Asked Herman.
"Fifteen years! Fifteen years!" Daniel exclaimed.
"Please don't be angry Daniel." Herman requested. "I know we've not been seeing eye to eye on things ever since your mother died, but...I really want to make it up to you. Now, don't complain just listen. I want to make it up to you by taking you out to dinner with you and your wife, if you don't mind it. I know you don't want to, but there's something I got to do and I might die because of it."
"What are you saying dad?" Daniel asked, somewhat worried.
"I might die, and if I die tomorrow, I want you to know that I love you." Herman continued. "I should've told you sooner than later, but I do and I wish for us to get along again. I just don't want you to hate me, son. I just don't want you to go on living thinking I was just a screw up after I die. I'm trying to be a good person and I'm trying to fix things before I die someday. I hope you feel the same." Tears fell out of the old man's eye as soon as he finished his speech.
"Dad, I would love to." Daniel replied. "I'm surprised you wanted to after so long. I'm also sorry, I haven't tried to speak to you as well for many years. I was kind of nervous since, I wouldn't have known what to say. I love you too dad. When should we have it?"
Herman was so overtaken by his emotions that he couldn't even give his son a straight answer and he broke down in tears.
"Dad? Are you okay?"
But Herman still didn't respond due to him now crying his eyes out and then hanging up his phone.
Meanwhile, Dipper, dressed in his leather jacket was walking into the movie theatre to his date with Pacifica still thinking about what his sister said about Gwen's existence. He was thinking that maybe his sister was probably right, maybe they only stayed together to make sure Gwen and Dustin were born.
"Dipper!" Pacifica shouted from the line. "Saved you a space!"
Dipper pulled a reluctant smile before running into the line to join his amazing girlfriend. They gave each other a quick kiss on the lips before just standing in line.
"Is Gwen back home?" Pacifica asked her boyfriend. "Is she safe?"
"I told Ford to do it as soon as I left." Dipper replied. "He must've done it by now."
"Was it the right thing to do?" Pacifica asked. "Throw our future daughter back into the future."
"We only did it to keep her safe." Dipper reminded his girlfriend.
"I know but, was it right?"
"I think so." Dipper replied, still thinking about what Mabel said. He wanted to talk to Pacifica about it, but he was more scared about how Pacifica will react to the question.
Inside the theatre though, there were people who were sitting on their seats eating their popcorn until they heard a monstrous voice.
"Out of the way!" Shouted a loud voice.
People were getting off their seats so they could let Grenda and Prince Marius pass moviegoers.
"Out of the way! Future queen coming through!" Grenda shouted.
"Sssh!"
"You ssh weirdo!" Grenda demanded. "How can people know I want them to get out of my way without shouting it!"
"Can you be quiet?!" A moviegoer demanded.
"Tell my Princess to be quiet and I will have your head chopped off!" Prince Marius shouted.
"Princess?!" Another moviegoer responded. "More like a beast!"
"You sir, are going to get sued!" Prince Marius shouted.
"How come he gets the less harsh punishment for something worse while I get the worse one for something less worse?!" Asked the moviegoer.
Grenda and her royal boyfriend managed to sit down on their seat so they can watch the movie they wish to see.
"Oh my sweet Grenda, I have not seen any of the Star Battles movie." Marius said as he nuzzled his girlfriend. "Are they any good?"
"Original trilogy are fantastic, prequel trilogy got off to a rocky start while the sequel trilogy...ARE A DISGRACE TO CINEMA!"
"Do I need to shush?!" Asked one of the moviegoers.
"Shut up!" Grenda demanded.
"You be quiet!" Thompson shouted from the projection room.
"Quiet, Thompson!" Grenda demanded.
"Grenda, be quiet!" Pacifica demanded.
"Oh, sorry Pacifica!" Grenda shouted.
"That's how she shuts up?!" Asked one of the moviegoers.
Elsewhere in the room, Dipper and Pacifica were sitting in their seats looking annoyed over Grenda's loud voice.
"I can't believe Prince Marius lifted her ban." Dipper complained.
"Well, what did you expect?" Pacifica asked. "He loves her more than his suit. I mean, he hasn't even noticed that mustard stain on his breast pocket."
"Shh, the trailers are starting." Dipper requested.
"Really?" Pacifica asked as she turned to face the screen. "Oh cool, love the trailers they tend to be the best part of the movie before it's actually released."
Dipper and Pacifica chuckled at her little joke while staring at each other lovingly as a boyfriend and girlfriend usually do.
"Hey Dipper." Pacifica said.
"Yeah?"
"These last few days being with you have been some of my best..." Pacifica started. "...And, during those few days I've thought back to the boys my Dad tried to set me up with and they're never like you at all."
"Well, I'm not rich and not interested in money and don't tend to be over-hygienic." Dipper retorted. "And..Have this little fella." Dipper moved his hair aside to reveal his Big Dipper birthmark to his girlfriend.
Pacifica smiled and leaned over so she can kiss her boyfriend's birthmark. "Hey, that's what I like about you. You don't want to date me for the money, I only wanted to date you because I wanted to. You're sweet, you're smart, you're cute and more importantly, you're normal. Dipper, I love you and knowing what happens to us in the future, I can't wait for it."
Dipper gave his girlfriend a sweet smile just as the Star Battles opening crawl came on.
"Oh, it's starting." Pacifica said excitedly.
Dipper and Pacifica watched as the opening crawl moved upwards so they could read what was happening before the events of this movie.
But watching the opening crawls just made Dipper be deep in thought about what Mabel said to him earlier about him and Pacifica only getting together so they can make sure Gwen and Dustin were born.
He wanted to tell Pacifica about what Mabel told him earlier today but he was afraid on what her reaction to it may be. Would she be angry? Would she be sad? Will she slap him in anger.
In the movie, a character dressed in a white robe stood in front of a monstrous creature that looked like a monstrous bullfrog and glowing claws and a brown body, while holding what appeared to be a laser butter knife.
"Master, what is that?" Asked the main character of the movie.
"It's a truth toad." Replied the master with a white beard and a brown robe. "If it touches you with its sharp nail, it will make you tell a very regrettable truth."
The student froze before throwing the laser butter knife at the monster, before running away.
Dipper looked towards Pacifica, knowing he had to tell her about what Mabel told him.
"I wonder what regrettable secret he was hiding?" Pacifica asked her boyfriend.
"Well...Hope it's nothing too bad." Dipper said.
"Hope?" Pacifica asked with an eyebrow raised. "You've seen these movies before. Why do you hope it's nothing bad?"
Dipper gave his girlfriend a sly smirk, meaning he wasn't gonna tell her anything, which made her give him a glare before playfully pushing him.
"You scumbag." Pacifica laughed with Dipper joining in.
But Dipper's laughter quickly disappeared when the nagging thought returned to his head. Pacifica stopped laughing when she noticed Dipper's face and gave him a worried look.
"Dipper, is there something wrong?" Pacifica asked her boyfriend. "You're giving that look where you're thinking and you don't know how to tell me."
Dipper was surprised that Pacifica knew what that look was despite the fact they were dating for 7-8 days. But he knew there was no hiding the fact.
"Pacifica, you remember when we find out Gwen was our daughter?" Dipper asked.
"Yeah." Pacifica replied, worryingly. "What are you saying?"
"Mabel, said something to me earlier and it had me worried about what our future might be." Dipper started. "Pacifica..."
"Dipper, what is it?" Pacifica asked worryingly.
Dipper stared at his girlfriend with sadness and worry before briefly glancing at the movie screen. "Wait, was the movie 3-D?"
"Dipper, don't change the subject." Pacifica requested seriously.
"Trust me I'm changing it for a good reason." Dipper said as he pointed towards the screen where the Truth Toads claw was sticking out.
Everyone was confused by what they were seeing but they went along with it.
"Woah! This new 3-D technology is amazing." Grenda commented as she munched on her popcorn.
"My sweet, Grenda, that is not 3-D." Marius said worryingly.
It was at that point, when the monster's head popped out of the screen, everyone realised, it wasn't 3-D.
"Everyone get out and run!" Thompson shouted from the projection room.
Everyone listened as the mysterious monster walked out of the screen with its large legs trodding all over the theatre and roaring.
Outside, Dipper, Pacifica, Grenda and Prince Marius ran out of the theatre with the monster bursting out of the roof behind them.
The four hid behind a random truck to hopefully avoid the monster that probably wants to do unspeakable things to them.
"What do we do?" Pacifica asked, terrified.
"It's simple, like a game of tag, we try and not get touched." Grenda loudly replied.
"That's something should do, but we need to do something to stop that monster." Dipper said. "Marius, you've been no help, do you have any suggestions?"
"Well, my family had a history of going up against monster like these." Marius replied. "We would attack it by stabbing it repeatedly with a sword."
"Do you have a sword?" Pacifica asked Marius.
"I always carry it with me." Marius replied before unsheathing a very skinny sword that looked as skinny as a toothpick.
Everyone stared at the sword looking unimpressed with its design, except for Grenda who just smiled. "Wow, a huge metallic toothpick."
"That's a great plan, but we might need the sword for something else." Dipper said.
"What?" Marius reacted.
"You'll see." Dipper said. "But I'm also going to need a grappling hook." Dipper then sat, contemplating about where to find a grappling hook. "Where can I find one?"
"Here." Grenda replied before she pulled a grappling hook out of her pocket which everyone was surprised by.
"I'm not gonna ask why you have a grappling hook." Dipper commented.
"I am." Pacifica retorted.
"We don't have time for an explanation." Dipper said, that monsters already making Sheriff Blubs telling Durland some stuff.
The four poked their heads from the side of the truck where they see the Truth Toad using its claw to make Sheriff Blubs to make his partner tell a dirty truth, who looked angry.
"I have also been speaking with another Deputy from a different town." Sheriff Blubs regrettably told his partner.
"Who is this guy?" Deputy Durland asked angrily.
"Uh...Is there a chance you can forget about what happened?" Blubs asked.
Behind the truck, Prince Marius, Grenda and Pacifica are looking at Dipper like he was planning something.
"So, are we clear on the plan?" Dipper asked.
"Of course." Prince Marius replied.
"Loud and clear!" Grenda exclaimed.
"Perfectly, babe." Pacifica replied.
"Aww, you've gotten to the babe stage." Grenda commented while grasping her hands together.
"Pacifica, you remember the plan?" Dipper asked Pacifica.
Pacifica gave her boyfriend a nod and ran out from behind the truck with Dipper following her.
The two see the Truth Toad was now touching a random pedestrian who was just minding his own business.
"I psychologically torture people who have a fear of old timey stop motion movies because I've been trying to find the perfect term for it!" The man exclaimed before being thrown away by the Truth Toad.
"Hey ugly!" Dipper shouted. "Touch us! Touch us! We have dirty truths!"
The ugly beast got up on his two feet as it flashed its sharp claws and drooled wildly.
"Come chase us!" Pacifica demanded.
"Or are you too amphibian to chase us?!" Dipper shouted.
"Hey ugly!" Pacifica exclaimed. "Your cousin was a salamander!"
"Forgive my girlfriend, this is her first time insulting giant monsters such as yourself." Dipper shouted.
The Truth Toad roared before starting to make chase towards the couple who started to run towards the deeper part of town.
While running, the Truth Toad stood on random cars and trucks while Dipper and Pacifica managed to either slid underneath the vehicles or jump over them like action heroes.
They managed to run past a still crippled Toby Determined, who was on the street trying to take pictures of the beast.
"Get out of the street Toby!" Dipper shouted as he and Pacifica ran past him.
"Why?" Toby asked. "This is an amazing shot you two have given me."
The Truth Toad ran closer and closer towards Toby and then, accidentally kicked him into a building before the nosey reporter had the chance to get away and his wheelchair to shatter.
"Ow!" Toby exclaimed after the painful impact. Toby looked at his camera and smiled at the good quality picture. "This pain was absolutely worth it. Perfect front page here I come."
Despite the pain and the difficult task of crawling to his independent publishing company, he still managed to keep a smile.
Meanwhile, the Truth Toad continually chased the couple trying to grab them with its sharp claws.
They couple looked at each other, giving each other a knowing smile before running towards a huge ally where they saw Grenda and Marius standing by a door waiting for them.
The two did a random jump just as the Truth Toad slowed down and started to follow them down the large ally. The giant monster that looked nothing like a toad pulled a smile as it slowly approached the four.
But the monster didn't even bother to notice that the four were pulling quite confident smile despite the fact that they might be eaten alive by it, or worse, reveal dark secrets.
But instead, the monster tripped over a piece of strong wire and landing in front of the two couples.
"Marius, jam that toothpick right up its nose." Dipper requested.
Marius gave Dipper a hard stare before jamming his skinny sword up the monster's nose. "And by the way, it's not a toothpick." Marius reminded Dipper, annoyed by his comparison.
The Truth Toad opened its eyes and grinned sinisterly at Dipper, who was smiling smugly while everyone was looking worried if his plan was going to succeed. But, as soon as the monster tried to stand up, he couldn't whatsoever. Instead, it just laid there, unable to move any of its limbs.
Marius, Grenda and Pacifica marvelled at the unconscious beast while Dipper smiled smugly at his achievement.
"Good thing I'm a Star Battles geek." Dipper commented.
"So...Putting something up this creature's nose will cause it to be paralysed from the limbs?" Marius asked.
"Yes." Dipper confirmed. "It states so at the 49 minute mark of the first Star Battles movie."
"If stuff gets put up its, how is it able to pick it?" Marius asked.
"I don't know and let's not get into those disgusting details." Pacifica said.
"Nice plan Dipper!" Grenda exclaimed as she aggressively slapped him on the back. "If you weren't smart, I probably would've revealed what I did with my dad's model of a package for a model airplane."
"What did you do?" Marius asked, curiously.
"If I told you, than you are to not tell anyone or else, I will make sure you're impeached off your title." Grenda replied threatengly. But instead of being terrified, Marius pulled a surprised look and smiled.
"You are a beautiful beast, Grenda." Marius commented while blushing.
"And you are a beautiful scallywag!" Grenda exclaimed before grabbing him by his collar. "Come here, you!" Grenda then started kissing Marius. Marius was surprised at first, but he returned the surprise kiss and wrapped his arms around his girlfriend's back.
Dipper and Pacifica were surprised by the uncomfortable sight but they just looked away and stared at each other.
"If we go on a double date with them two, than I think we'd ought to book a private theatre so no one can hear this." Dipper's comment made Pacifica chuckle.
"I don't know if that was an intentional joke or not, but that was funny." Pacifica commented while smiling.
"Once again, date night was ruined." Dipper commented disappointedly. "I don't think we can have a date night that won't get ruined by evil relatives and monsters."
Pacifica smiled at her boyfriend and held him by the shoulders. "Dipper, if something normal happened on our dates, than they will never be interesting." Pacifica said softly. "I love that our date nights aren't like anyone else's, that's what makes them fun in their own strange unique way."
"What happens if nothing happened?" Dipper asked his girlfriend.
"Than, where's the fun?" Pacifica asked before holding onto her boyfriend and kissing him on the lips.
Dipper was at first surprised, as per usual, but he gladly returned his girlfriend's kiss while wrapping his arms around her blonde hair. Due to the unexpected kiss, Dipper was kind of losing balance so he sat on the Truth Toad's claw to control himself, while kissing Pacifica.
As soon as the two broke out of the kiss, Dipper's eyes went wide and said, "Pacifica, I need to tell you that I'm worried that us getting married and having the twins was so we can make sure the timeline is linear!"
The words of Dipper made Pacifica freeze and Prince Marius and Grenda break out of their heated kiss in shock.
Dipper realised what he said and looked behind to see that he was indeed sitting on one of the Truth Toad's claw, realising he just told Pacifica a deep dark secret.
Dipper looked at his girlfriend, who looked both sad and angry at him over this. Dipper was thinking of what to say about what the heck happened, but he knew that the truth was out and he didn't know what to say.
"Pacifica..."
Pacifica only replied with a slap to Dipper's face before running away sadly and angrily.
"Pacifica!" Dipper shouted as he started to chase his girlfriend.
"Leave me alone you jerk!" Pacifica shouted from the distant. "I can't believe you!!!"
"Pacifica let me explain!" Dipper shouted as he followed his girlfriend.
"You already did!" Pacifica shouted as she ran away from him. "Now, go home and don't talk to me again!"
Dipper stopped upon hearing Pacifica's last words. 'Don't talk to me again.' It was at that moment, Dipper knew that he had lost his first girlfriend.
Dipper hung his head down in shame while walking back to the Shack.
While walking back to the Shack, it started to rain and Dipper stopped just to let it hit him since he felt he deserved it.
While walking home, he walked past Greasy's Diner and looked through the window and saw a vision of him and Pacifica having their date there, where it was interrupted by Preston and Charleston.
Dipper then made it to the Shack where he saw a vision of him and Pacifica chatting outside the Shack where he complimented that the Pine Tree hat looked great on her.
Dipper then walked back into the shack where he ignored Soos and Stan laughing with each other. The two noticed that Dipper looked sad and stopped laughing. Stan tried to console his nephew, but Soos stopped him, knowing Dipper needed some alone time.
Dipper looked to the living room where he saw a vision of him and Pacifica snuggling with each other on the couch. He stared sadly as he saw the vision kiss each other on the lips.
Dipper walked upstairs into his bedroom where he saw Mabel was sitting on the bed, having a more positive energy than she did this morning.
Mabel gave her brother a smile and started asking him, "How did your date go?"
Dipper only replied with a sharp glare at his sister which caused Mabel's smile to disappear. Dipper wanted to blame his sister for putting such a question in his head that he angrily started to walk up to her.
Mabel closed her eyes, waiting for her brother's scolding, but instead, he wrapped his arms around her, giving her a strong hug. Mabel heard some sobbing and realised that her brother was crying.
Mabel wasn't dumb when it came to romance, so she knew that Dipper and Pacifica must've had a fight so, she wrapped her arms around Dipper and gently hugged him back.
They stood in place, hugging each other until they decide to hit the hay for the big day tomorrow.
The next day, Ford was putting Waddles in a Huggy Wuvvy Tummy Bundle, just to make sure he didn't run off during the perilous journey.
"Okay Grunkle Ford, Waddles likes to bed fed every 50 minutes, so, no matter how long the journey is and no matter how low the rations are you need to feed him." Mabel demanded threateningly. "And if there's nothing, improvise!"
"Okay sweetie, I got it." Ford assured his niece.
"You better!" Stan interjected. "That pig is precious and if he ends up dead, may I have his corpse for meat making?"
"Stan!" Mabel narrowed her eyes at her Grunkle.
"Joking, joking." Stan repeated while putting his hands in a defence position.
Dipper walked out and noticed Herman Trout talking to Pacifica about what might happen once the journey begins.
Dipper stared at his maybe former girlfriend shamefully while Pacifica took notice of him and glared at him.
Dipper sighed sadly and stood with his Grunkle Ford and Grenda, who both looked ready to go.
Grenda glared at Dipper and whispered aggressively, "You screwed up big time!"
Dipper hung his head down, once again, in shame to what he did to poor Pacifica.
Just then, Xander arrived on his horse and jumped off, landing perfectly in front of the group.
"Hello there." Xander greeted everyone. "I trust you're all ready to vanquish Darkness once and for all."
"The sooner the better." Pacifica snapped. "So I can get away from this dork!"
Herman just stared at Pacifica with a sharp glare, not wanting her to start an incident.
"Hey Xander, how was your date with my Abuelita?" Soos asked
"Oh, it was interesting." Xander replied. "There were moments where, we got on each other's nerves, but overall nice night."
"I don't like that implication." Soos said, looking disgusted.
"Children!" Xander shouted. "Let us march."
And on Xander's command, everyone started marching towards the location where they will have to defeat Darkness.
They trekked up the mountains where Dipper tripped, but got back up again.
They walked through the stream, ignoring the sign that said, 'Warning, leeches.' As soon as they all got out, Grenda was the only one who had leeches all over her legs, but she somehow kept her smile.
They carefully walked through the gnome village where Pacifica, accidentally stood on Schmebulock.
"Schmebulock." Schmebulock groaned in pain.
Later, the group passed a couple of dragons arguing over what appeared to be a large steak.
Xander smiled at them and waved. "Morning Middle Finger."
Middle Finger stopped fighting and waved back. "Good morning Xander."
The other dragon laughed and then flew away with the steak in its mouth.
"Bilcome!" Middle Finger shouted.
Later, the Children arrive at a cave where Xander raised his hand to stop them.
"This is it." Xander announced as he turned around. "Well, once we get in, things will take a bizarre turn. Just to warn you."
Everyone started to enter the cave, with Dipper slowly following behind. "Why have we been going into a lot of caves this summer?" Dipper asked himself.
"Not talking to you!" Pacifica shouted.
"Wasn't talking to you!" Dipper shouted back.
The Children walked into the cave where a large circle was drawn in the centre, an apparent tool to defeat Darkness.
"This is the circle we will use to defeat Darkness." Xander explained.
"Uh...We're not dumb." Pacifica snapped rudely. "We figured it out."
"I didn't." Grenda said.
"Okay, stand back." Xander requested as he walked towards a boulder on the side of the exit. Xander started pushing the boulder with an amount of strength only seen in a bodybuilder. "Alright, that will keep from the vampires coming in or out."
"Okay, what do we do?" Dipper asked.
"I'll tell ya." Xander replied while licking his teeth. "I need to say a few words. And this is an allegory. You ever heard of the Pied Piper? The tail of a mysterious Pied Piper who helped a village get rid of its rat problem by leading them to their doom by drowning them. Well, I'm the Pied Piper, your rats and they are the stream!"
Just then, vampires jumped from the ceiling and started to grab the Children. They couldn't do anything due to the unexpected attack from the,.
They watched as Xander smiled sinisterly as he flashed his vampiric fangs at them. "I'm sorry, were my human self's last words." Xander said as he laughed.
The Children were struggled to get themselves out of their predicament, but it unfortunately wouldn't work.
One of the vampires pulled Waddles out of Ford's Huggy Wuvvy Tummy Bundle and threw him to Darryl.
"Woo, this little piggy went 'Weeeeeee' all the way to me." Darryl commented.
"Darryl?!" Dipper reacted.
"With the flesh." Darryl confirmed. "Surprised you recognised me."
"Well, your voice isn't unrecognisable." Pacifica commented.
"Why did you take on the form of underrated New Zealand actor Antony Starr?" Grenda asked.
"Because no one knows him and I doubt he will amount to anything." Darryl replied. "But on the topic, you fell into my trap, congratulations! By the way Xander, nice Pied Piper allegory I should use that someday."
"You turned Xander into a vampire?!" Ford reacted angrily. "Why couldn't you have turned anyone else into a vampire?"
"Because, Xander was too busy eating marshmallows." Darryl replied. "And I'm surprised Xander hasn't gotten fat because of his addiction. Anyway, while you were getting fooled by our little mole, we freed our old friend."
Just then, the Children looked up and went wide eyed in shock. "Oh no!" Dipper said.
"Is that who I think it is?" Herman asked.
"I thought Gwen locked him/her up." Pacifica said.
In front of the Children, they saw none other than Darkness possessing Wendy looking as terrifying and powerful as before. The possessed teen smiled sinisterly and said, "Welcome, to the age of Darkness."
