TP1
Not long after the events of the gnomes. Dipper and Mabel are having breakfast. Dresdin was beginning to wake up as Stan was getting himself ready for the day with the twins. Back with them, there were pancakes on Mabel's plate, the two of them have syrup bottles. Both of them put each of their bottles in the air.
"Are you ready? This is the ultimate challenge, bro bro." Mabel tells Dipper as she puts out her claim.
"I'm always ready, Mabel." Dipper replies to his sister.
"Then you know what this means." She informs him.
"It's the syrup race." They both state in unison.
Opening up their own containers, they let the syrup race down to their own tongue. Both of them encouraging their amount of syrup. Mabel hit her bottle a bit to accelerate it. That caused her drop of syrup to hit her tongue.
She coughed a bit from that. "I won." She strained a bit as Dipper picked up the magazine he had.
"Whoa, hey Mabel! Check this out." Dipper told her after she coughed a bit more. She looked at his magazine.
The first thing she saw in it was a human sized hamster ball. "Ooooohhh! A human sized hamster ball. I'm human sized." She stated.
"No no, this." He told her as he pointed to an article of a human an a creature. "That's the kind of weird stuff w see every day." He states. "Did we get any photos of those gnomes?" He askes.
"Nuh uh. Just some memories and I did get this gnome hair." She informs him as she shows him.
"Why did you save that?" He requests. She shrugged as Dresdin came in.
"Morning guys." He says to them as he grabs up some cereal. "Anything interesting going on?" He asked.
"Just this." Dipper told him as he showed Dresdin the article.
Dresdin looked at it then to them. "Do you guys have anything on the gnomes?" He questioned, knowing what happened with those things.
"Not really." Dipper replied.
"Except for this beard hair." Mabel pointed out as she held it up.
"Why do you...?" Dresdin about asked, but realized that this was Mabel. "You know what: I don't want to know." He tells them.
"Know what?" Grunkle Stan asked as he walked in.
"It's nothing, Grunkle Stan." Dipper replied.
He shrugged it off, knowing the twins. "Well, anyways. Good morning you knuckle heads. You know what day it is?" He asked.
"Umm...Happy Anniversary?" Dipper asked as Mabel congratulated that.
"Beh! It's family fun-day, genius." Stand told Dipper as he lightly hit him with the news-paper. "I'm going to be cutting off work to have one of those..." He said as he began to sniff the milk a bit. "Bonding type deals." he continued on.
Dresdin kept quiet on that one, knowing better. Dipper, however, questioned this; as he remembered the last family binding day. The three of them were making counterfeit money, until the cops arrived.
Mabel shuttered at that. "The county jail was so cold." She remarked.
"At least we don't have a criminal background because of that." Dipper remarked as well.
"Especially since Dresdin came and picked us up." Mabel stated.
"Although, Stan had to remain there over night." Dresdin said.
"Listen! I know I haven't been the best summer care-taker." He tells them as he goes over to them. "But I swear, we're going to have tons of real family fun." He states. "Now who wants to put on some blind folds and get into my car?" He asked as he finished. "Also, Dresdin, you come along as well since you're like a big brother figure to the twins." He informed him.
The twins cheered, until Dipper realized what just happened.
"Wait, what?" He questioned.
It wasn't long until they were near the lake, the twins having blindfolds on. Dresdin was in the front seat with Stan. Warning the twins if there was a turn. Stan dropped something and reached down to get it. As he did, the car swerved a bit. Dresdin braced himself as dd the twins. Dipper was very nervous as Mabel was enjoying her time.
"Blind folds never lead to anything good." Dipper claimed, knowing his Grunkle.
"Wow! I feel as if all of my other senses are high-tend. As if, I can see with my fingers." She claims as she touches Dippers face.
He chuckles nervously, attempting to push her hands away as he's concentrating on bracing himself for anything; until the car bounces again. "Grunkle Stan? Are you wearing a blindold?" Dipper asks.
Stan only chuckled at that. "No! With these cataracts I might as well be." He replies to him until he looks into the distance, squinting his eyes. "Is that a wood pecker?" He asks himself right before they break through a guard rail.
Dresdin and the twins screamed as Stan drove through the woods. Hitting every tree branch and bush that was in front of them. It wasn't long until they reached the lake. Stan got out of the car as Dresdin assisted Dipper and Mabel. Both of them managed to catch their breath. Stan got himself changed and came right back to them.
"Take off those blindfolds and open 'em up." He tells them.
Dresdin saw his outfit and knew of one thing. "Oh no!' He remarked. Hearing that, Dipper and Mabel knew something was up as they took off their blindfolds.
When they looked at their Grunkle Stan, they saw him in fishing gear. "Ta daaa! It's fishing season you guys." He tells them.
"Fishing?" Mabel questioned.
"What are you getting at, old man?" Dipper asked.
"This doesn't look good." Dresdin commented, knowing Stan very well.
"Dresdin has done this with me before, as well as Soos. Trust me, you both are going to love it." Stan tells them. They see the towns people on the lake water. Lazy Susan with her frying pan, Toby taking a guys picture with a large fish and Manly Dan showing his sons how to fish. "Some quality family bonding." Stan says as he looks at the towns people.
"I'm very curious about this, now." Dresdin commented further.
"I am too. Grunkle Stan, why do you want to bond with us all of a sudden?" Dipper questioned.
"This is going to be great. I've never really had any other bonding time. When the event comes around, I'm only with my employees. Primarily Dresdin and Soos." He informs them. "I just want to have some time with my family is all." He continues on.
"That is true. I'd say this is a great time for that." Dresdin told them.
"Plus, the guys from the lodge won't really go with me. Primarily since they don't "Like" or "Trust" me." Stan explains using quotes.
"I think he actually wants to fish with us. I can tell." Mabel informs Dipper.
"I do know what'll help to cheer you both up and convince you that I do want to spend some time with you." Stan says and bring out two fishing hats. He puts them on their heads and they take them off to look at them. "That's hand stitching that's done by yours truly." He tells them. Dipper sees that his spells Dippy and Mabel's spells out her name, but he L fell over; making it upside down. "It'll be just us on a boat for ten hours." He tells them.
"Ten hours?" Dipper questioned.
Stan brings out the joke book and dangles it for a bit. Both Dippper and Mabel cringed.
"There's has to be a way out of this." She whispered to Dipper. That was good timing with Fiddleford who was screaming that "He'd seen it". He ran to the store after making a mess.
"The Gravity Falls Gobblewonker." He tells everyone. "Come quick before it scrabdoodles away." He warns them all before doing a jig, Mabel commenting it's a happy one. "No, it's a jig of grave danger." He tells her. That was until his son came on out and began spraying him with water.
"What have I told you about scaring my customers, dad."
"I have proof, though, by gumbidee." Fiddleford tried to explain. They all followed him to a boat, which he pointed to. "It the Gobblewonker that what did it." He told them and explained what it looked like. "It tore up my boat and shim shammed over to scuttled on over Scuttlebut island." He continued on with his rant and pulled on his sons arm. "You gotta believe me." He pleased.
"Attention all units: We got a crazy old man." Blubs remarked as he tilted his hat up with his thumb. Everyone laughed at that, believing Fiddleford was crazy.
Dresdin, however, was getting Stan's usual boat ready. He applied a another piece of wood to where it would remain afloat. Having learned this from Manly Dan. "How do I even get into these messes?" He questioned. That's when Stan came up.
Dresdin continued on with the work on the boat as Stan gestured the twin to the boat. "Behold! The Stan O War. Let's untie this boat and get out on the water." He told them as he began to get in.
When he did the boat bobbed a bit, and Dresdin tried to keep it balanced. "Careful, Mr. Pines. Haven't gotten the boat stable yet." Dresdin tried to inform him.
"As long as it floats, I don't care." He replied.
As Stan was getting the boat ready to launch, Dipper faced Mabel. "Hey, Mabel! Did you hear what that old dude said?" Dipper asked. She tried an impersonation of him, to of which Dipper ignored. "It was when he mentioned the monster." He told her and brought out the article. "If we can get a picture of it, we can split the money, 50/50." He told her.
She lightly gasped. "That's two 50s." She commented in a silly way.
"Just think of what you can do with $500." He stated.
She began to imagine herself in a human sized hamster ball. "I'm one-million percent on this." She said with confidence.
They went over to their Grunkle Stan. "Grunkle Stan; change of plans. We're taking that boat to Skuttlebutt island and we're going to find that Gobblewonker." He told their Grunkle. From there, they both chanted "monster hunt" and Fiddleford joined in briefly; until they looked at him. He departed right before Soos came up in a boat.
"You dudes say something about a monster hunt?" He requested. "You both can totally use my boat for your hunt." He told them.
Dresdin looked at him confused, as of how he had a boat. That was until he felt a small leak in the boat and placed a patch on it. From there, he got out, not knowing if that boat was even safe. As he did, the twins were wondering of who to go with as they looked between both Soos and Stan. Stan started to sniff his arm pit as flies flew around the boat. The engine was smoking as well. As for Soos, he was doing the robot. The two of them looked out towards Scuttlebutt Island. They looked at each other and it was clear that they had made their minds up. Dresdin saw this and smiled. Ditching Stan did sound a lot better than going in a boat looked like it could sink at any time.
"You two thinking what I'm thinking?" He asked them.
Both Dipper and Mabel nodded, with big grins on their faces. The three of them boarded Soos' boat, quickly putting on life preservers. Stan, still thinking he was talking to the kids, had his eyes closed for a brief moment.
"So what do ya say?" Stan asked. That was when he saw them leaving for Scuttlebutt. He shook his fist at them. "Ingrates." He shouted to them. "Eh! Who needs 'em." He said to himself. "I got all I need right here. A creepy box of lures to keep me company." He said to himself still. Realizing how disgusting and creepy they looked, he closed the box.
Not long after, Dipper asks everyone about the rules of monster hunting.
"Uhh! The side dude dies in the first five minutes of the movie." Soos replies.
"Not the area we're in, though." Dresdin replies to Soos as he attempts to fish.
"Wait! Am I a side character?" Soos asks.
"That's more me." Dresdin remarks as he slowly reels in the fishing line.
"No, no. Camera trouble you guys." Dipper informs them. "Let's say Bigfoot shows up. Soos be Bigfoot?" Dipper requests. Soos does an impersonation of Bigfoot. "Ahh. Oh no; it's Bigfoot. I better get my camera." Dipper acts out, poorly. "Oh no. I don't have a camera." He then grabs on from his pocket. "Oh wait, here's one. Oh no, there's no film." He tells them asking if they see what he means.
Both Soos and Mabel nod, seeing his point.
"Always happens in the movies. Real-life, however..." Dresdin says ironically as he looks at the hook and sees the worm gone. "Dang it." He says to himself and puts on another worm for a second attempt.
"That's why I got seventeen disposable cameras." Dipper told them.
"I think you might need more than that." Dresdin replied to him as he slowly reeled in his lure once again.
"Trust me, Dresdin. I believe this is enough." Dipper replied. He even explain where he put each cameras. Soos accidentally flashed his own face and tossed the camera out of a reflex. "You see guys! This is why we need to have backup cameras. Hence is why we now have 16." Dipper told them. A gull flew over Mabel's head, fast. Causing her to throw a camera at it. "Now it's 15. Guys, please don't lose the cameras." Dipper requested.
"You're going to lose most of them." Dresdin told Dipper. He face faulted at a hook with a worm, but no fish. From there he tossed it back in.
"We're not going to lose mo..." "Dude, did you say "lose the cameras"? I just tossed two into the water." Soos told Dipper.
"No, no. Don't. Now we have 13 cameras." Dipper said as he accidentally smashed another camera. "12. 12 Cameras." He said to himself, getting really agitated. Mabel asked if they should throw more cameras overboard.
While this was going on, Dresdin still attempted to catch a fish. "Come on. I know you're biting." He said to himself.
While they were having fun, Stan was close by fishing. He was looking at them as he was. "Traitors. I can find my own fishing buddies." He said to himself. He attempted to do so with a soon to be new engaged couple, but failed.
Back with Dipper, Mabel, Soos and Dresdin. They all were at Scuttlebutt island. Mabel was attempting to throw her voice from a pelicans mouth. "Hey, look, I'm drinking water." She said as she attempted to continue her fun with the pelican. After that she began to cough. Not long after, they ran into the island and Dresdin fell back with his pole.
"I think we hit the island." He commented ironically.
"See? We're here. I'm a look out genius." She claimed as she walked onto the pointy metal piece on the front of the boat. "Hamster ball, here we come." She stated.
"If we can get off the island." Dresdin replied as he followed them.
They all began to explore the island. Seeing all the trees and how foggy it was. Soos saw a sign that read "Scuttlebutt Island". He put his arm over a part of them name. "Hey dudes, look. Butt Island." He commented jokingly.
"Soos, you're such a rapscallion!" Mabel replied. She went on over to Dipper. "Why aren't you laughing at that? Scared or something, Dipper?" She asked, jokingly. He denied being scared. "You are. Admit it." She told him. She poked him as she had her tongue out, making fart noises.
They then heard a growling sound and looked in different directions. "Did you guys hear that?" Soos asked.
"I was about to ask the same thing." Dresdin replied as he joined them.
"What was it? Was that Soos' stomach?" Mabel asked.
"I strongly doubt it." Dresdin replied to her.
"Naw. My stomach usually sounds like whales." He told them. Mabel went up to his stomach and heard the sounds of his stomach.
From out of nowhere, an opossum came out and took their lantern. "No! Our lantern. Now I can't see anything." He told them.
"I can still see a bit." Dresdin replied.
"I don't know about this anymore, man. Maybe this journey isn't worth it." Soos commented.
"Wait! Not worth it?" Dipper questioned. "Imagine it guys. We get a picture of the Gobblewonker!" Dipper reminded them. He imagined himself on a tv show. With Mabel interrupting it. "I'm in." Dipper said.
"Same here." Dresdin replied.
"Me too." Mabel replied as well and they ran off.
"Dudes, wait up for me." Soos said.
Not long after, Soos is beat-boxing as they continue their walk. As he was, Mabel was doing a poor job at raping, with rhyming words with her name. Soos saying they should be writing this stuff down.
"How about not and say we did." Dresdin replied.
That was where Dipper began to point something out. "Do you hear that?" He asked. They heard a growling sound and began to go for it.
"Let's see if this is it." Dresdin said in all hope. Soos grabbed up a spear. They headed towards the sound, ducking down behind a hollow log when they saw a shadow of something odd.
"Okay, get your cameras ready." Dipper whispered to them. Soos got his out, getting the flash ready. Mabel and Dresdin did the same thing, smiling in excitement. "Now!" Dipper shouted.
Soos went out first, yelling at the top of his lungs. He was a complete shutterbug, taking pictures of everything. Dresdin was behind him, until he tripped over a rock, taking pictures of his fall to the ground. As they all ran to where the noise was coming from, they only saw a damaged boat with a lot of beavers.
"But... That noise. I know we all heard a noise." Dipper stated as Soos still took pictures, smiling.
"I think I see where it's coming from." Dresdin informed them. They all looked to see a chainsaw and a beaver biting it. Soos commented on that and Dresdin face palmed.
"Maybe that guy was crazy after all." Dipper remarked.
"He did use a lot of crazy words." Mabel remarked as well.
With Stan, he was still trying to make friends, but kept on failing. Even by trying to talk to a kid, before using his boat to get away form him and his parents, since the mother got on him.
Back with the kids, Soos was taking pictures of a beaver. Dipper was thinking about his Grunkle, believing tht they ditched him over nothing. That was until he felt something; especially since the water made a rippling motion.
"Did you guys..." He was beginning to ask until he almost fell. Soos and Mabel caught him and brought him back on land. They all saw a creature as it had its back to them.
"Umm... Guys?" Dresdin asked.
"This is it. Here's my chance." Dipper said as he took pictures. The three of them began to back up.
"Dipper!" Mabel exclaimed.
"Whoa. Dude!" Soos stated.
"I don't like the looks of this." Dresdin added.
"It's not that hard, alright?" He asked, completely unawarer that the Gobblewonker is right behind him.
"It's not that! LOOK." Dresdin told him as he pointed. Dipper looked behind him and saw how close it was as it roared. "RUN!" Dresdin stated.
They all ran back to the boat and got back on the water. As they were, Stan was trying to tie a knot on his fishing line and heard grandpa talking to his grandkids. It wasn't long until the kids and the Gobblewonker went right by them, making waves that drenched him.
It didn't take them long to get back to the same spot that they were at. Dipper alerted them to the beaver, right before they smashed through the wreakage.
"Those dam beavers." Dresdin said to himself as a pun.
They were then attacked by those beavers, fighting them off. They managed to get rid of them, as well as going through people who were still fishing. Doing so, they accidentally knocked manly Dan and his boys out of the water. After that happened, the fish fell on top of them.
"AAHHH! SWIM BOYS! THE FISH SEEK REVENGE." He told them as they swam for it.
The kids managed to get to a cave and that trapped the Gobblewonker.
"We-we did it!" Dresdin said.
"It's stuck." Mabel replied..
"It's stuck? Oh my! It's stuck!" Dipper stated, seeing his chance. They went on a cliff above the Gobblewonker and Dipper began to panic when he couldn't find a camera until Mabel lifted his hat. "Yes!" He stated. He took multiple pictures until a boulder landed on its head. That's when they heard something power down.
Dipper went down to inspect it. "Careful dude." Soos told him.
"There's no telling what's in that thing." Dresdin added.
"I got this." Dipper reassured them. He went to a spot on the Gobblewonker. "Hey guys! You're not going to believe this. Come check it out." He told them. They went to where he was and saw a hatch. Dresdin opened it and they saw compute parts inside as well as Mcgucket.
He was wondering what was going on with his machine, until he saw the kids. "Oh banjo polish." He said to himself.
"What the..." Dresdin questioned.
"You... You made this? W-w-why?" Dipper asked.
Mcgucket stammered a bit. "I just wanted attention.
"You're going to need to explain." Dresdin told him.
"I don't understand this still." Dipper told him.
He began over explaining everything with what he did first. "But why did you do it?" Mabel asked, to help be more specific. That's when he explained his reasoning. Wanting attention from his son. That's when they understood it all.
They looked at the hats Stan made for them; giving off a sigh. "I guess the real lake monster is you two." Soos pointed out.
"Same with me." Dresdin said a out himself.
"Did you ever try to talk to your son about how you felt?" Mabel asked.
"Nope. Got straight to work on the robot. Made lots of them before." He told them. Explaining all the robots he made for revenge. "Well, time to get back to work on my death-ray." He said to himself.
From there they thought about what to do with the last film until Dresdin brought up a suggestion.
They managed to get back to their Grunkle Stan, taking a picture of him in the process. Stan was a bit startled to see them.
"Kids? I thought you were off playing the bottle with Soos and Dresdin." Stan commented.
"Actually we spent all day trying to find a legendary dinosaur." Dipper corrected, rubbing his arm.
"But we realized the only dinosaur we wanna hang out with is right here." Mabel stated.
"Save your sympathy. I've been having a great time without you. I made new friends, I wounded up talking to my reflection, and then I ran into the lake police..." Stan listed off. He lifted up his right leg to show the ankle tracker. "I guess I gotta wear this ankle bracelet now, so that'll be fun."
"So there isn't room in the boat for four more?" Dresdin asked him politely.
Stan gave them a look as the twins put on their hats on. Stan had asked them if they had ever seen him thread a hook with his eyes closed. Dipper, Mabel, Dresdin, and Soos all smiled. They knew that was a yes. After Dipper bet five bucks saying that Stan couldn't do it, they all headed back onto the lake for more fun. Dipper had taken several pictures, including them being chased by the lake police. On the way back in, they had hit something beneath the waves, causing the camera to go overboard.
Dipper turned to Mabel and Dresdin. "Did you guys feel that?" He asked.
Mabel shrugged as Dresdin shook his head. Dipper just shrugged it off. Unknown to anyone, the camera had sunk into the lake, which was then gobbled up by something rather large.
