Season 1 Episode 16: Movie Heist

Episode Summary: The Gang want to see a movie, but the manager won't let them in prompting them to break in and make it to their seats before the end of the open credits.

Disclaimers: I do not own Gravity Falls or the Relativity Falls AU idea.


(Back with Ford…)

Gravity Falls Theater wasn't exactly grand standing, heck it was barely even standing at all.

"Are you sure this building isn't condemned?" Fids asked as he, Ford, Heather, Buddy, and finally Susan stepped out of Granite Mabel's car, how they all fit in there to begin with was astonishing.

"It's not." Susan said.

"Well it should be." Fids declared as Granite Mabel got out of the Car and went to the ticket booth to buy the tickets He offered Susan a smile, and she returned it.

Stan was psyched to see it, this trip to the theater was for Susan and Buddy after all. The idea of course had been Heather's. Seeing how Ford didn't get to properly meet Susan, and well he kind of still hated Buddy, Heather thought this trip could bring them all together as a group.

It was a nice thought, but Ford wasn't making it easy.

"I can't believe we're doing this." He said to his brother gesturing to Buddy. "I mean don't get me wrong Susan is nice, but did we have to bring him!"

"He's not so bad when you get to know him." Stan assured him.

"He tried to cut me in half!" Ford reminded him.

"Come on Ford even Heather is giving him a second chance!" Stan pointed out.

And it was true, sure she needed some convincing too, also Buddy had to get down on his knees and beg. Saying the magic from his bowtie, and his sister influenced him to do some terrible things he wasn't proud of. Finally Heather gave in, saying that Buddy could be friends with Stan if that's what he wanted. But she would never trust him again.

Buddy said that was fair and in the end they both agreed to be civil.

Susan of course was shocked to hear that the nice Buddy she hanged out with at the party could be so cruel. But she told Buddy she didn't know him then, and that she like to see what kind of guy he was for herself.

Of course Buddy was relieved.

Fids was also on good terms with Buddy, like Stan the party had mended all the transgressions between them.

Now if only they could get Ford to give him a second chance then they would all be on the same page.

A task that was obviously easier said than done.

"Come on bro." Stan said. "Do it for me."

Ford groaned, he hated when his brother did the whole 'do it for me' bit. Mostly because this was a constant thing he did. And when he did Ford often ended up sacrificing something just to make his brother happy. And today it would appear he was sacrificing his common sense and giving Buddy the second chance he didn't deserve. "Fine but he has until the end of the movie to change my opinion of him and that's it!"

"Thanks bro." Stan said with a smile.

"What I don't get is why a movie called Pony Heist is Rated R." Fids exclaimed. "It has the word Pony in it!"

"Twelve bucks a ticket? Pony Heist better be the best movie ever made!" Mabel warned giving Buddy a forced smile as their eyes met. She like Ford wasn't too happy about Buddy, but once Buddy explained that he had been kicked out of the family dynamic due to backing out of Bonnie's extreme plans she softened.

"I had a…friend once." She told him. "Who was kick out of his home for having…different beliefs." She sighed. "I wasn't…there for him, but my doors are always open for you." She had smiled than. "Consider yourself an honorary Pines!"

"I hope it's more funny than scary." Heather said. "Cause I thought this thing was a comedy." She sighed. "I even wrote a list of hilarious jokes to yell out during the movie."

"I think it's rated like that cause of the scene from the trailer." Ria explained as they all walked into the theater.

"Movies! Movies! Movies! Movies! Movies! Movies! Movies!" Ford and Stan chanted, and rightfully so. Their parents never took them to see a movie, heck they rarely got to watch anything they wanted at all until they went to stay with Aunt Mabel. So this was a big deal.

Heather laughed and soon she and the rest of the gang were chanting along. She even gave herself a mental pat on the back for coming up with this bonding trip in the first place. If this went well the group had agreed to even letting Susan in on their next adventure, if of course she was ready, and or willing.

Suddenly a candy bar wrapper falls out of Heather's sweater and Mikey, walking past them, notices it and picks it up. "Hey, you stop!" He yelled at them.

The Mystery Gang obeyed. Looking at him and smiled.

"Het Mikey what's up?" Heather said. Waving to her friend.

"What's up?" He waves the candy around. "There is no outside food or drink allowed in the theater!"

"Well, it's just one candy." Mabel said. "Besides Ticket prices were outrages, we can't afford your expensive snacks too."

"Yeah this place is high class robbery." Stan said. "I wanna talk to the manager!"

"I AM the manager!" Pointing to the name tag on his shirt that clearly said Manager. "And for that comment your family is banned!"

"What!" Heather exclaimed.

"Now see here!" Buddy cut in. "My granddaddy owns a good bit of this town and you will let this slide."

"Sorry but you sister says not to listen to you anymore." Mikey says looking truly sorry.

Buddy's face fell, and it is then that Ford realizes Buddy must have been telling them the truth. Sure he tried to kill them, but he must have stood up to his sister about it soon after, why else would she be mad enough to turn the town against him.

Mikey sighed. "Look I like you all I do, but I'll lose my job if I let you in."

"It's okay as long as we get refunded." Mable said.

Seconds later the whole gang had to be hauled out of the theater since no refund was required. This of course caused both Mabel and Stan to demand justice. All they got however was a seat on the curb outside.

"No ponies..." Heather whined, and Both Susan and Buddy gave her a reassuring pat on the back.

"No explosions..." Ria cried openly. "I wanted to see the explosion!"

"No refund." Stan and Mabel said in unison.

"No fair." Fids added.

Ford looked at all of their sad faces and suddenly felt the urge to take action. He stands up determined now. "Guys, we are NOT going down like this! We paid for this movie so we're going to see it!"

"How?" Stan asked.

"We break in." Ford said. "However we might need an ex-deceiver to do it." He looked to Buddy hopefully, and Buddy smiled a sly smile as everyone gathered in a circle.

"Okay." Buddy said. "Here's what we're gonna do. Stan will get us in using his incredible lock-picking skills."

"Skills?" Heather snorted.

"Hey I've got talents." Stan argued.

"A talent for getting caught." Ford teased.

"Which it what I'm counting on." Buddy assured them. "Stan's diversion will allow me Ford Heather and Ria to get inside. The next step is to get Mikey away from the snack stand. Fortunately, I have my ways." He gave a small scary laugh and the group shared a look.

Buddy cleared his throat. "Sorry old habit." He admitted. "Any who this will get Heather just enough time to coat herself entirely in syrup."

"Hey I want to be covered in syrup." Mabel whined, but Buddy ignored her.

"Heaher, will use the syrup to climb on the celling and into the ventilation ducts were she will crawl until she reaches that ventilation shaft." He pointed to the shaft beside them. "Where the rest of us will be waiting to climb in."

"With what rope?" Susan asked.

"Oh I have one in the car." Mabel said casually.

Everyone gave her a weird look.

"Don't ask." She said. So they didn't.

"Well once we climb up well follow the ventilation to the screening room and rope down. If all goes according the plan, we should arrive in the theatre in exactly the amount of time it takes for the previews to end. "

The team nodded. "let's do this!"


(Moments later…)

Stan smashes the back door lock with a rock and walks in to Ed and Daryl working in the cinema. "Hey, suckers! Ahahahaha!" He laughs and runs off as they try to catch him.

This allows Ria (Who is dressed as loader) to sneak in with a trolley with a box on it. Ford, Heather, and Buddy jump out of the Box. Where Buddy hacks into the computer and changes the title of one the movies "Monkey Business 2" to "Mikey drinks popcorn butter."

Mikey sees this and gasped. "What? No I don't!" he yells running to see what had changed the title.

Giving Heather her chance to get in the giant syrup bucket and rub syrup all over herself. "This isn't so bad." She admitted. Before jumping up to the celling, heading to the ventilation bars. She picks up a gummy bear stuck onto the ceiling, then eats it. Before entering the ventilation.

Moments later Heather kicks another set of ventilation bars and signaling her friends to enter.

Mabel throws up her rope and Heather grabs it, and the gang use it to climb in.

Seconds later Ford opens the ventilation bars in the screening room and the gang slides down the rope to the floor.

"Not bad man." Ford praised Buddy.

You did pretty well yourself." Buddy admitted. "Banding us all together like that."

The gang cheered, quietly their faces plastered on the glass wall with wide open smiles as the opening previews end and the words "Pony Heist appear on the screen.

"We did it!" Ford said in relief.

"You guys are crazy." Susan said. "I like that."

"Well you're welcome to hang with us any time." Ford said. "Both of you." He said giving Buddy a smile.

Buddy returned it.

"Whoa." Fids sighed in relief. "I'm glad it all worked out."

"Yeah who knew breaking and entering could bring a group together." Stan added.

Mabel laughed uneasily. "What am I teaching you kids?"


(Cut to Movie Narration…)

"But the ponies are filled with—TNT!" Suddenly the two ponies on the screen crash together and explode.

The gang sits in the screening room and laughs. Heather brings her "Pony Heist jokes" page, reading it out loud for the crowd. "Pony Heist"? More like BALONEY-Heist! Am I right?!

The whole crowd laughs and enjoys the joke. Ford and Heather high-five each other.

"Dude I can't believe this is rated R." Fids said.

"It's not." Buddy said. "Not really, they just boost up the ratting cause it means they get to charge more for tickets."

"Those cheap geniuses!" Stan praised.

"Hey, look!" Ford pointed at a TV screen beside them. The TV screen shows Mikey drinking a huge bottle of butter. The gang laughs and Heather takes a picture with her camera.

"I'd do the same, though..." Ria admitted.

"Me too." Stan agreed.

"Ew gross." Ford gagged, prompting the gang to laugh.

Stan smiled, all and all today had been fun, and it even brought his brother and Buddy closer together. Which was a win, win in his book. However, bringing Buddy into the group was the worst thing he could have ever done.

Stan just didn't know it yet.
