It has been a couple of days since the twins solved a mystery. It was when Soos discovered a secret door, full of wax people. Stan remembered the time when he had a wax museum and closed it down to try to make more money. It was from there he attempted to bring it back, until wax Stan's head was cut off. The twins had solved it was the wax figures and barely managed to defeat them. Dresdin assisted them in taking them out.
In present day, Stan was doing his usual routine to con people out of their money. He saw people put their money into a sack and he merely shook his head, laughing a bit.
"How does he do it? How do they even fall for it?" He wondered before joining the twins and Soos as they were watching something on tv. "I have no idea how people fall for the stuff Stan pulls on these people." He tells them.
"Eh! It beats me." Mabel states.
"Either they're not paying attention or they're not very bright." Dipper commented and they continued on with their program. Learning a tiger was built back together after an explosion, with a fist.
They all cheered, knowing what this was about, until a commercial came on. Soos immediately recognized it, as did Dresdin. "Hey, this is the commercial I was telling you guys about.
"I remember seeing this not long after you told me," Dresdin remarked.
As they watched it, a voice told another guy that was crying that he needed Gideon. Both Dipper and Mabel were wondering who he was and what made him so special. The voice announced that he's a psychic and that confused Mabel further. The voice told everyone to know more about Gideon at the Tent of Telepathy.
"I'm very curious-y about this." Mabel told. "Mainly on the inside." She furthered on.
"Don't get too far into your curious-y." Stan told Mabel. "Thanks to that kid, he's been causing me some serious problems." He states as he flashes back to when Gideon took his parking spot.
"Maybe we should find out if he really is psychic." Mabel comments.
"We definitely need to go and find out." Dipper replied.
"I'm not for sure about that." Dresdin told the twins.
"Dresdin's right. Besides, my answer is never. You're forbidden from patronizing with him. He's bad competition." He orders the twins, Soos and Dresdin. "Besides, while you're under my roof, you're not allowed under that Gideons roof." He tells them.
"Do tents have roofs, though?" Dipper questioned.
"I think you just found our loophole; litterally. Mwop mwop." Mabel replied, sarcastically as she held up a looped string.
Later on that night, the town began to go into the Tent of Telepathy. Gideon's ffather was outside holding a sack with the psychic star on it. Telling everyone to come right on in. To put the money in the sack he was holding. As he was doing that everyone was seating inside.
Dipper was looking around, amazed at the size of the tent. "Whoa! I'll admit, this is like a bizzarro version of the Mystery Shack." He commented as Soos was eating a taco and Mabel was having popcorn. "They even have their own Soos." He stated as he pointed to a guy who looked like Soos, but his name tag said Deluce.
Soos looked at him with a bit of jealousy. Even Dresdin saw what Dipper meant.
"I know what you mean by that. This is very weird." Dresdin commented.
"I'm very curious to see what Gideon looks like." Dresdin said as the show began.
"I'd like to know what kind of a monster he is, from what Stan has been telling us." Dipper replied.
From behind the curtain a large shadow came up and the curtains opened to reveal a very small boy. He had on a blue suite and white hair. "Hello world, my name is lil' Gideon." He announced before clapping his hands and white doves came out of his hair. Everyone applauded at that.
"That's Stan's enemy?" Dipper questioned.
"He very widdle though!" Mabel exclaimed.
"I don't see how much of a threat he can really be." Dresdin commented.
"Lades and Gentlemen, it's a great gift to have you all here tonight." Gideon announced before whispering "such a gift" again. "I do have a prediction." He informed them all. "I predict you all will soon say... Aw..." He claimed before giving off his cute face. Everyone awed at that.
"It came true." Mabel said quietly, but to where Dresdin, Soos and Dipper heard her.
"I'm not even impressed." Dipper stated.
"You're impressed. Don't deny it." Mabel retorted.
"I know he isn't and I'm not impressed either." Dresdin told them.
Telling his dad to hit it, Gideon began to do a musical number. After a girl caught the cape he threw, other girls piled in for it. As he was doing his musical number, everyone was going with it; even as he made prediction after prediction. Dipper still wasn't impressed as well as Dresdin. Mabel was shocked to hear Gideon guess her name was Mabel, despite the fact her sweater had her name on it. After he finished, he thanked everyone and told them they were the real miracles. Mabel cheered at him.
"That kid's a much bigger fraud than Stan is." Dipper commented. "No wonder Stan is jealous." Dipper stated.
"Could've fooled me on that one." Dresdin replied.
"Come on you guys, his dance moves were very adorable!" Mabel exclaimed. "Did you see his hair as well? It was, like, whoosh." Mabel told them.
"You're too easily impressed." Dipper told her. Mabel gave off two yeahs as Dresdin gave off some chuckles. They all went off, having laughs until Gideon came out from behind the tent flap, to the entrance; glaring at them.
The following day, while Dipper and Dresdin were having breakfast, Mabel ran up to them. Her face was covered with play gems.
"Look guys. I've successfully bezazzaled my face." She told them. After giving off one blink, some of the play gems fell off she said 'ow'.
"Is that permanent?" Dipper asked.
"That doesn't look very good." Dresdin told her.
"I'm unappreciated in my time." She said to herself until the door bell rang.
"Somebody answer that door." Stan ordered, being preoccupied with something else.
Mabel said that she would get it and ran off to it. Upon opening it, she saw Gideon, who greeted her with a 'howdy.' "It's widdle ol' you." She stated in a very excited voice.
"He he, yeah my song's very catchy." He remarked as he chuckled. "I know we haven't formally met just yet. After yesterday's performance, I couldn't get your laugh out of my head." He told her. She asked if it was the one she just gave off. "Oh, what a delight." He commented. "When I saw out in the audience; I said to myself, "Now there's a kindred spirit. Someone who appreciates the sparkly things in life."" He told her. Mabel laughed at that, finding it funny and cute as she coughed up her play gems. They landed on Gideons suit on his collar. "Enxhanting. Utterly enchanting." He said softly to himself.
"Who's at the door?" Stan asked.
"No one, Grunkle Stan!" Mabel replied to him.
"I do appreciate that discretion. That Stan's not a big fan of me." Gideon whispered to her. "I don't understand how a lemon like him can be related to a sweet peach like yourself." He remarked.
"Gideon!" Mabel exclaimed as she chuckled.
"What do you say we take a little walk and chat for a bit more." He requested. "Perhaps in my dressing room?" He said in a silly voice.
Mabel gave off a gasp. "Makeovers!" She exclaimed as she poked him. He gave off a chuckle as well as an "Ow".
When they got back to his place, he opened the door to his dressing room and she gasped at its size. Not only that, but the clothes he has. "I believe you see something you like? 'Cause I know I do." He said to her.
"What?" She asked as she looked at him with a chuckle.
They got back to the Mystery Shack and they waved bye to each other. As Mabel entered she saw where her brother was on Stan's chair. "Hey, Dipper! What's going on...?" She asked him as she showed off her fake finger nails as she twitched her fingers in front of his face.
"Whoa, where have you been?" He asked her as he hit her hands away and got up in the chair to look at her. He saw her as she now looked, wondering what she had done to herself. "And what's going on with your finger nails; you kind of look like a wolverine." He told her.
"I know, right." She replied to him and gave off a silly roar.
"If you're talking about X-Men..." Dresdin remarked as he came in and saw Mabel as she was. This completely shocked him. "Wow! You don't look anything like Wolverine. More like Sabertooth from X-men, in girl way." He said. "But I'm going to go with Dipper's question." He told her.
"I was hanging out with Gideon. He's my new pal." She told them. "He's definitely one dapper little man." She told them as she shook her hip.
"Mabel, there are people I do trust and people like him, with their hair bigger than their head. I do not trust." He told her.
"Why not leave him alone? You never want to girly stuff with me." She tells him. "You, Soos and Dresdin get to do boy stuff all the time." She states. "I'll even be lucky enough if Wendy wants to hang with me." She continues on.
"Why do you mean?" He requests.
"Hey dude, you ready to blow up these hot dogs in the microwave?" Soos asks as he comes up.
"One by one though." Dresdin informs them.
"Definitely!" Dipper exclaims excitedly. They run to the kitchen as Mabel sees that her point is proven.
Mabel hangs out with Gideon once again; amazed by the view from his family's factory. Both bringing up the statement they brought their opera glasses, laughing at that. Gideon even shows a little craziness of when he sees everyone down below, feeling like he's the king of all he surveys. Trying to make a joke about her being his queen.
"What?" She said with a little laughter. "You're being very nice to me right now! Quit it." She jokingly tells him and she gives him a friendly shove.
"I can't quit it. I'm speaking from the heart." He informs her. She felt a little confused at this, even as he told her about feeling so close to someone such as her. Showing his true feeling. From there, she knew she had to let him down.
"Look, Gideon, I, umm... I just like to be friends, is all." She requests from him.
"At least just give me a chance." He requests from her. "Mabel, I'd like to have the honor of going on a date with you." He asks. She asks if it's two dates that aren't an official date. "It'll just be one little ol' date. I swear to you on my lucky bolo tie." He claims. She's a bit reluctant, but agrees on the date. "You have made me the happiest boy in the world, Mabel Pines." He tells her, after giving her a hug.
"Are you sniffing my hair?" She asks, uncomfortably, a bit annoyed.
Back at the Mystery Shack, as she and Dipper are playing games as Dresdin watches. She's told the, everything and that it won't be a date-date, that she just doesn't want to hurt his feelings.
"Mabel, guys don't even work that way." He informs her. "I know he's gonna fall in love with you." He tells her.
She blew off some raspberries. "Yeah, right! I know I'm not that lovable." She claims as she fluffs her hair a bit. Right after that she wins the game.
"There's something we can agree on." He replies to her claim after an explosion happens in the game.
Right after tat the door bell rings and Mabel answers it, to see that it's Gideon, riding on a horse. Freaking her out a bit in the process. "A night of enchantment, awaits, my lady." He tells her as he extends an arm out to her.
"Oh boy." She comments as she goes with him. From there they go to a restaurant; a fancy looking restaurant. Mabel is surprised at the place but is more surprised about the horse. "I can't believe they let us bring the horse in here." She says, still very surprised.
"Well, people do have a hard time saying no to yours truly." He states as he puts his feet on the table.
The waiter comes over and sees this, but what he says surprises Mabel. "Ah. Mr. Gideon. Feet on the table. Very good choice." He says to him.
What the waiter had done annoyed Gideon a bit. "Jean-Luc, what have we discussed before, about eye contact." He reminded the waiter.
"Yes, yes. Very good!" He replies as he quickly pours him water and goes away quickly.
Mabel was very much in awe on how the table setting was arranged. She looked over at the forks and the water. "I've never seen so many forks! And water with bubbles in it?" She told him, amazed. "Ooh la-la. Oui, oui." She gushed. Gideon chuckled a bit before speaking a bit of French to her, which totally caught her off guard. She blinked in confusion and admitted, "I have no idea what you're saying..."
Meanwhile at the Shack, Wendy, Dipper, and Soos were all chilling out by the register. Dresdin was out in the back, fixing one of Stan's creepy taxidermy things. Soos was reading a magazine while Wendy was looking at her cell phone. Stan came up to them, in his underwear, holding the paper in his hand. The article featured Gideon giving off a finger gun while holding Mabel's hand. She was holding up her other hand, seemingly blinded by the flash from the camera. The title read, 'Lil Gideon's Li'l Girlfriend?'
"Hey, hey! What the Jekyll is Mabel doing in the paper next to that greasy pickpocket Gideon?" He asked them.
"Not dating him, that's for sure." Dresdin replied as he continued on with his work.
"Oh yeah! It's a pretty big deal." Wendy began to reply. "Everyone is talking about what's going on with Gideon and Mabel's date." Wendy informs him.
"WHAT!"Stan exclaimed. "That little runt is beginning to date my great-niece?" He said angrily as he twisted the newspaper in his hands.
"I'm curious to what their new name will be for the power couple." Soos wondered as he looked up form his magazine. "Mabideon? Gideable?" He said to himself until he gasped. May-Gid-Bel-Eon!" He exclaimed.
Stan threw his news paper down and stormed out. Dipper knew he was pissed off. "I didn't know. I didn't even hear about that. Plus, I even told her not to." Dipper shouted to his grunkle.
"Yeah, well! It ends tonight." He told them as he came in, suddenly dressed up. "I'm going right to that little skunks house to take care all this." He tells them. "I'm going to make sure this stops, RIGHT NOW!" He sates before going out and slamming the door behind him.
That made the others flinch at that.
"Dude! I believe that would be funny if that was a closet. Then he'd have to come out again to use the real door." Soos commented, knowing that it would be funny. Dipper and Wendy watched him as he opened the door and saw that it lead outside. "Nope! Real door." He told them.
"I could've told ya that." Dresdin told him as he came in, finished with his work. "Plus, I don't think that Stan should do that." He told them.
"Why do you say that, dude?" Wendy asked.
Something about Wendy began to make Dresdin feel real nervous. Especially when she talked to him like that. It's like he had butterflies in his stomach. "What I mean is that, I don't think it's a good idea for Stan to attempt anything too severe." He states, knowing how Stan is. "Especially when he gets in over his head every now and then." He states.
With Stan, he had arrived at Gideon's place and had made a business deal with Mr. Gleeful. Primarily since Gideon wanted to be with Mabel; but Mabel didn't want that.
It was over time that Mabel had been with Gideon, she didn't feel as if she needed to date him at all. He was trying way too hard, especially to ask for more than one date. He even asked her to a dance that Thursday. Even a crowd surrounded them, hoping she'd say yes.
When she returned, Dipper thought that the date would be the end of it all. Until she told him differently. She was hoping to let him down on that date too, but wasn't able to do so. She told Dipper about it and described the situation as quicksand, but chubby quick sand. Dresdin offered some advice on the whole scenario. Even Dipper told her that it wasn't like Gideon wanted to marry her.
"Great news Mabel. You have to marry Gideon." Stan told her as he wore a "Team Gideon" shirt. This gave her a great shock as Stan explain this was apart of the long time deal he had with Bud Gleeful. Mabel screamed and ran out. "Bodies change, honey! They change." Stan yelled to her.
"I doubt that would even help." Dresdin stated, knowing that Stan wasn't helping the situation.
Dipper and Dresdin went up to the attic and saw Mabel hiding in her sweater. "Mabel's not here." Mabel told them. "She's currently in sweater town." She stated, still hiding.
"Are you gonna come out of sweater town?" Dipper asked in a friendly way.
"We're here to help you." Dresdin stated. She only shook her head.
Dipper got down on his knees. "Okay, enough is enough." Dipper told her. "If you can't break up with him. I'll do it for you." Dipper told her.
"You will?" Mabel asked.
"You will?" Dresdin asked as well, very confused. Mabel thanked him a lot for helping her out. "How can..." "Trust me, Dresdin. I know how. Gideon will be tough." Dipper replied.
Dipper went to the restaurant and began to have a talk with Gideon, as Dresdin and Mabel waited for him outside. Gideon wasn't too pleased with what Dipper told him. From there he went outside and Mabel asked how it went and if Gideon was mad. He reassured her that he was just a kid and didn't have any powers.
"I'm not too sure. I have a really bad feeling about all of this." Dresdin told them.
"It'll be alright, man. Everything is okay." Dipper reassured him as well.
Back at Gideon's house, Gideon was flat out furious and and squeezed the amulet a bit and light bulbs began to pop. "Dipper Pines... you don't know what you have done..." He mumbled, the candlestick floating off of his dressing mirror's table. "You've just made the biggest mistake of your life!" He proclaimed. As he proclaimed that; his dresser, his toy train, his teddy bear, his lamp, his globe, and a glass were hovering in mid-air. They were all surrounded by a light blue aura. He slammed down his dresser, causing his father to come in with a Pitt Cola in his hand and investigate the noise.
Bud lectured, "Gideon Charles Gleeful! Clean up your room this instant!" The room was a complete mess from the mess Gideon made and he was sweating up a furious and exhausted storm.
Gideon pointed at his father and threatened, "I can buy and sell you, old man!" Bud just shrugged, as if to say fair enough before closing the door to Gideon's room. Gideon turned to the shrine he had made on the back of his bedroom door. All of them were pictures of Mabel. There was even paper mache of her name and hearts above the pictures. There was even an article. One picture, however, included Dipper in it. Gideon used his amulet to burn that part of the picture, just leaving Mabel.
The next day, Soos, Dresdin, Dipper, and Mabel were all outside of the Shack. Soos put a pillow under his shirt, letting the kids try and hit him as hard as they could.
Dresdin chuckled, "Nice try guys."
"I'm so glad everything is back to normal." Mabel said being relieved.
Right after that, they heard the phone ring. "Your turn!" they told each other. "Darn it." Dipper said to himself, knowing Mabel finished that. He went in and picked up the phone. "Yellow?" he asked. On the other end was Toby Determined. He was asked for an interview about anything unusual in Gravity Falls. Dipper was very happy about that, but he didn't know that Toby was putting Dipper into a trap; set by Gideon. When he arrived to see Gideon there, that's where things went south.
Back at the Mystery Shack, Mabel was in deep thought. Needing some advice. Wendy came out and they began to talk about breaking up with guys. Wendy gave her a small list of who she broke up with.
"I knew they weren't right for you." Dresdin told her from inside.
"I know. You told me a million times." Wendy remarked as she replied to him.
"I was still right." He replied back.
"I just don't know what's wrong with me." Mabel told her. "I thought everything would be back to normal, but still. I just feel gross." She stated.
Wendy still gave off her list as Mabel was continuing on. "Maybe you should just give him a more real break-up." Dresdin recommended.
Mabel thought about it for a second, and knew he was right. "Thanks, Dresdin." She replied and went off.
"Wait up! You might need some help." He called after her as Wendy ignored another text from a guy she thought she broke up with.
Back with Gideon and Dipper, Objects flew at Dipper as Gideon was trying to be rid of him to be closer to Mabel. Attempting to kill him in the process. Mabel was lucky enough she arrived on time, as she tricked him. Dresdin managed to arrive as soon as she grabbed his amulet and he got inside. Seeing what was going on, Dipper caught the amulet and Gideon tackled him out the window.
The two of them had a small slap fight as they fell. The both of them seeing the ground getting closer, they screamed until their bodies gave off a blue aura. Seeing they were saved, they saw Mabel and Dresdin floating down.
"Listen, Gideon, it's over. I won't ever date you." She told him. From there, she landed them all and broke his amulet. Gideon gave off a threat to them and went back to his home.
Stan and Bud were becoming business partners, but Gideon told Stan that he rebuked him and his family. Bud was very confused. Asking about his and Mabel's arrangements, stuttering. Gideon was raging and didn't want any part of business with the Pine's family. Bud told Stan he had to side with Gideon, thus tearing up the contract.
"Okay, I can see when I'm not wanted." He said,
"I'm sorry about the whole thing, Stan. Gonna need that painting back." Bud told him. Yet, Stan took it yelling back at them "Try and catch me suckers."
Back at the Mystery Shack, Stan hung the clown painting. He remarked that he could've had it all. Then asked the twins what was up with them. They told him one name, "Gideon." "Gideon!" Stan said as he squinted his eyes. "That little mutant swore vengeance on the entire family." Stan told them.
"Figured as much. Especially after what all happened." Dresdin replied.
Stan chuckled. "I guess he's gonna try to nibble my ankles or something."
That's when Dipper realized something. Gideon no longer had the amulet. So he wasn't much of a threat to them anymore. As Dipper teased on how Gideon was gonna destroy them Dresdin thought of something and laughed.
"Imagine if he wanted to try and take the Mystery Shack. He'd never get it." He told them. They all laughed.
"Or how about guessing what number we're thinking of?" He questioned.
"He'll never guess my number." Mabel told them. "It's a negative 8. No one would never think of that, or guess it, ha ha ha." She laughed.
From there, they began to make fun of Gideon's so-called plan of destruction. Having many laughs. Little did they know, Gideon was plotting something. But first, he was making wood figures of the Pine's family, and Dresdin. Mimicking their voices, mockingly. Knowing more than what they thought. For with him was another journal. It was journal 2. He had begun his move to get them back.
