Really sorry for the long wait, I was busy with College, other stories and life. I sorta lost the drive to write this for a bit but, yesterday my allergies were acting up and I was feeling the after effects today. I wasn't feeling well at all. But somehow I got my drive back and here is the chapter itself.
I own nothing.
Irrational Treasure
The Loud's were in Grunkle Stan's car while Stan drove. He was honking while everyone was minding their own business. They were going to get groceries because of the number of people in the house and Stan mumbled about free-loaders and something. Mabel and Dipper were eating nachos and Leia got the idea of attaching the chips to her ears.
"Haha! Nacho earrings. I'm hilarious!" Leia laughed.
"That's debatable. Aw, come on, what's with all this traffic?" Stan grumbled. "And why is it all… covered wagons? Oh no! No! No! Not today! Not today!" He yelled frantically as he pushed the gas pedal.
Some people were in his way and soon had to back up, and the kids thought they looked to be wearing old period clothing of sorts. And they were all beginning to get worried which was always when Stan was driving, cause they didn't know if their Grunkle had anything illegal that would end up with the cops being involved. They were glad Lori didn't do that, and they all feared when Leni got her license, not that she would anything that Grunkle Stan would do. But of how bad a driver she was and she was on attempt 10.
"Grunkle Stan, what's going on?" Dipper asked.
"We gotta get outta here. Before it's too late!"
The car soon stopped moving because it was trapped between a group of covered wagons.
"They've circled the wagons! We're trapped! Nooooo!" Stan yelled terror.
"Huh, he saves this kind of terror and fear when cops and official looking people come by the shack." Lola said, starting to get nervous like everyone else.
Leia looked out the window and sees a cow and it mooed at her.
"I've gotta good feeling about today." She cheerfully said.
Lana then poked her head out as well and she lightens up when she sees the cow.
"Aw sweet! Who wants' fresh milk?" She said as she rubbed her hands.
Everyone soon got out of the car and they all walk around Main Street. They were all surprised to see everyone in clothing from Pioneer times, and the whole town seemed to be transformed into something like an old western town.
"Did we travel back in time?" Leni asked, as she admired all the dresses the women were wearing.
"No, time travel is still theoretical at best. It's the day in which this town was founded, and everyone is getting into the spirits of today's festivities." Lisa explained.
"How did you know that?" Lincoln asked.
"I've looked into the history of this town, part of my studies." She said.
"Pioneer Day. Every year these yahoos dress up like idiots to celebrate the day Gravity Falls was founded." Stan grumbled.
Lynn shrugged and said," I don't see the problem. My teams do stuff like this all the time. The Lions dress in their old uniforms sometimes."
Toby comes up to the group wearing old fashioned clothes and holding papers and said," Welcome to 1863!"
"I thought it was 2016?" Leni said and everyone groaned.
Stan rolled up his sleeve, held his fist at Toby and threatened," I will break you, little man!"
Toby screamed and ran away, only to crash into a barrel. He then got up and ran away.
The kids looked around to see people were doing various activities that would've been done during the 1800's. From candle dipping, and Gold Panning.
"Wow, gold panning. But it doesn't beat having a Lepricorn as a friend." Lola said.
"Have you've been eating sprinkles with Mabel?" Stan asked with a raised eyebrow.
Lola scoffed and said, "No! There bad for my teeth. And I'm not planning on getting cavities."
They then see someone getting married to a woodpecker.
Dipper took out Journal 3 and said," I remember reading about this. In Gravity Falls, it used to be legal to marry woodpeckers."
"Does it say anything about marrying Vampires?" Lucy appeared and Dipper jumped in fright.
"Oh, it's legal. Very legal. But no on the Vampires." The man said.
The kids all looked at one another, wondering why he put the emphasis on legal and what it could mean.
"Come one and all, for the opening ceremonies!" An announcer speaks.
"Sweet, opening ceremonies rock! Even if they're not spots related." Lynn enthusiastically said.
"You got that right sis." Luna agreed.
"Grunkle Stan, you coming?" Mabel asked.
"No, thank you! Just remember if you come back to the Shack talking like these people, you're dead to me."
"There's a carpetbagger in the turnip cellar!" Lucas said.
"Shoot! Lynn, where's mah shotgun?" Lincoln said.
"Well hornswabber my haversack!" Leia said.
"Well ah must say, that this one fun hootenanny! Luna, play us something on your Banjo!" Lori said in a southern accent.
"Ye-haw! Here's a song from the days on the wagon. It's a good thing I had some instruments in the wagon." Luna said and took out her Banjo.
The siblings spit on the ground and run off while laughing and Luna playing the Banjo.
"Dead to me!" Stan yelled.
Everyone assembles around a large stage. Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland were on it.
"Here-ye, here-ye! Ye olde commencement ceremony is about to commence." Blubs said.
"Woo! I got a bell!" Durland said as he rung a bell.
No one noticed, even the two cops, as a thief stole a woman's person and ran off as she called for help.
"He sure loves his bell. Who wants to say a couple of jokes before we start this?" Blubs asked.
Luan's face lit up and shoved her way through the crowd. She ran up the steps and got to the microphone.
"I have some jokes to say! Howdy! Now, who's the actor that was a great showman?"
"We don't know!" Someone yelled.
"It was Abra-ham Lincoln! Ha, ha! Get it?" She said and a couple did laugh.
"Okay. Why did the Butter-churn say to the stick of butter that was sick? You're churning green!"
Everyone then laughs, including her siblings.
"Last one, here's an off-color joke! How many African-American's does it take to screw in a light bulb?"
Everyone stayed quiet, including the rest of the Loud's. They knew what the punch line was and had to stop her. Lincoln and Luna ran on-stage, tackled her and brought back to the others. Pacifica then came on stage and tapped the microphone.
"Howdy, everyone! You all know me, Pacifica Northwest, great-great granddaughter of town-founder, Nathaniel Northwest. I'm also very rich."
The crowd applaud, including the Loud family, although a little reluctant, except for Mabel.
Pacifica slightly glared at them, returned to smiling and said, "Now if you've got the pioneer spirit, we ask you to come on up and introduce yourself."
Leia gasped and said," Audience participation!"
"I don't think that's a good idea sis. Isn't she kinda like your arch-enemy?" Lincoln said.
"That's water under the bridge Linc. Also, Leni always says to forgive and forget." She said with a laugh and ran onstage.
Leni gasped and said," She's right! I do say that."
"Our first newcomer is… Mabel." Pacifica said with an angry look.
Mabel ignored or didn't notice the look Pacifica was giving her and said," Yeah! Let's get this Pioneer Day started! USA! USA!"
Everyone, including a man dressed in pro-American attire and crying a little chanted USA with her.
Pacifica walked up to her and said," I'm sorry to break it to you, but Pioneer Day is for serious people, and you look and act ridiculous. I mean, a puppy playing basketball? Are you always this silly?"
Mabel's face fell while some particular audience members were starting to fume at Pacifica's words.
Later, everyone was standing or sitting near a large statue of Nathaniel Northwest. Leia had a said expression and everyone else was trying to cheer her up.
"C'mon sis, your not gonna let some Blonde haired spoiled brat, get to you?" Luna said.
Mabel looked up and said," Do you guys think I'm silly?"
Everyone looked away and tried to come up with answer.
"Uh, nnooo?" Dipper managed to say.
Mabel had a defeated look and said," I knew it! The nacho earrings, the sweaters, and the puns. I thought I was being charming, but I guess people see me as a big joke."
She throws off her nacho earrings, takes off her sweater, and ties it around her waist.
"Leia, its literally a part of who you are. There's nothing bad about it." Lori said.
"Yeah, and puns are meant to be silly. And you should just laugh off what people say about you. That one of the ways I cope when someone makes fun of me." Luan said.
Mabel ignored them and Dipper looked at everyone.
"Hey guys, go ahead and have some fun, I'll help out her and call if I need your help."
"You sure?" Luan asked.
"Yeah, we'll catch up with you soon."
Everyone reluctantly walked away, while the twins sat at the statue. Dipper looked at with a scowl and said.
"Pacifica! Why does she think that being related to the town founder means she can treat everyone like garbage? Someone needs to take her down a peg. (Gasps) Wait a minute! I feel like I read something about Pacifica's great-great grandfather before," Takes out and opens Journal 3," Of course! Oh, this is perfect," Uses a deep voice," In my investigations… (Normal voice)… Should- should I do the voice?
"Nuh uh." Mabel mumbled with a look.
"I'll just read… normal. In my investigations I recently made a discovery. Nathaniel Northwest may not be the true founder of Gravity Falls! I believe this secret is imburied somewhere on the enclosed document. If only I could crack the code."
Dipper opened the document and found a series of complex letters, symbols and words.
"Oh, man! If this cover-up is true, it means Pacifica's whole family is a fraud. This could be a major conspiracy!" Lucas exclaimed.
Mabel had a look of realization and said, "Really?"
"I got to investigate this!" Dipper determinedly said.
"Wait! I'm coming with you Conspiracies are serious right?"
"Oh yeah, definitely."
"Can I join?" A voice said.
The both of them turned to see who the voice was. It belonged to a familiar 11 year old Spanish American girl and who was dating their brother.
"Ronnie Anne?" They both said.
"What are you doing here? Wouldn't you want to be with Link and checking out the festivities?" Dipper asked.
Ronnie Anne shrugged and said," I would but I think all of this is boring. Linc is currently hangout with Bobby. I wanted to see how you were doing after that blondie Harpy trash talked you. And Lincoln has talked about all the stuff you and the others have been doing and I wanted… to tag along and see what all the fuss is about."
Dipper wondered why she stopped for a second but brushed it off, grinned and said," I don't see why not. What can you do to help?"
Ronnie smirked and said," Well, considering Lynn isn't here I can be the muscle," She then cracks her knuckles," And I speak Spanish, just in case you to translate anything."
Mabel grinned and said," You're hired! And after all this, nobody could call me silly again!"
"Yeah! Mystery crew." Dipper said.
"I thought you hated that?"
"I'm starting to accept it."
"Sounds lame, but heck, I'm for it."
The three of them fist bumped and ran off. What they didn't know was that they were being eavesdropped by a couple of cops.
Lola and Leni were walking around the town admiring everything. Leni had picked out and customized some old dresses and they were wearing them.
"I gotta say, I'm more of a gown person but these are actually ok." Lola said.
Leni beamed and said," Thanks sis! I just wanted to do some old stuff before we go back to the future."
Lola stopped and gave her a raised eyebrow and a 'are you serious look' and said," Leni, we're still in 2016, we're not in the past."
"Oh."
Lola furrowed her brows in annoyance and was about to say something, but something caught her eye.
"Grunkle Stan?" She said in confusion.
Stan was in stocks and had tomatoes on his face. He had a look of annoyance and anger. But he saw his grandnieces and brightened up a little.
"Lola, Leni! Help me get out of this!"
Leni was about to help him but Lola stopped her. She walked up to Grunkle Stan and said," Oh we will, if you let get that Doll House I asked about when we went to the store the other day."
Stan snorted and said," Yeah right. Back in my day, when you wanted something, you had to earn it yourself... or steal it. So no."
Lola shrugged and saw a tomato that was conveniently on the ground. Normally she would never touch something like that, especially if it was on the ground. But she could make an exception.
She smiled deviously, picked it up and threw it at him. She then wiped her hands off and walked away with Leni following her.
"Uh, Lola, shouldn't we help him?"
Lola shrugged and said in an uninterested voice," Meh, not our problem."
"KIDS!" Stan yelled in anger with tomato on his face.
Leni turned back for a second and then shrugged her shoulders, and they continued walking to the next area.
Back the three conspiracy hunters, they were at the library trying to figure out the document. In one corner. Old Man McGucket was reading to children, although, incorrectly. "Back in the olden days, pioneers drew subsistence from telling stories 'round the fire. So let's eat some books, children! Go ahead, eat the books!" He said as he proceeded to chew on one.
The kids on the other hand, were nearby at a corner table nearby trying to figure out the document.
"Alright, guys, if we can prove Nathaniel Northwest wasn't the real founder of Gravity Falls, it will finally put Pacifica in her place." Lucas said.
"And solving the mystery will prove that I'm not silly. I'm serious. Seeeriouss…"
Mabel had determined look while reading a book but then laps up the candy on the table into her mouth with her tongue. Ronnie Anne had a raised eyebrow and was about to say something but shrugged it off.
Lucas placed some slides into a projector and said," We need to crack this code. Let me see… It's not any old South American languages on record, sorry Ronnie Anne."
"Meh, it was worth a shot."
"And it's not Egyptian, not numerology, it's not, wait... of course! The triangle is the alchemist symbol for flame. Lighting the parchment on fire will reveal the secret message!"
"It's so obvious!" Mabel exclaimed.
Dipper got a candle and said," Alright, let's just light this sucker up and—Mabel!"
Leia was now wearing a hat she made out of the document," Mwop! I just made a hat." Mabel then realized what she has done, groaned and said. " Ugh, I just did something silly again." She said and blew a raspberry.
"No it's not… it's artistic." Ronnie tried to encourage but Mabel didn't listen.
Dipper looked closer and said," Wait, Mabel. You folded it into a map! And I was gonna burn it…"
The kids then heard a familiar voice and looked at the entrance. Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland were at the entrance, talking to the front desk.
"We're on the lookout for three kids who might be reading." Blubs said to a librarian.
"We're hunting them down for secret reasons! WOO!" Durland said as he rung his bell.
The three of them hid under the table. They finished and walked off to find them while Durland knocked over a row of books off the shelf.
"Maybe we should take this elsewhere." Lucas suggested.
Ronnie Anne looked at the map and snapped her fingers in realization," I think the map leads to 'The Gravity Falls Museum of History'."
"I think you may be right. How did you know that?" Dipper asked.
"Uhh… Bobby went to apply for a job there but he didn't get it." She said.
Leia shrugged and said," Works for me."
"But you both should realize what this means?" He looks up and squints with determined look and said," We're going to have to break. In."
Later, the three of them are inside the museum entrance, not having to break in. An employee was giving them passes and balloon.
"And here are your free Pioneer Day passes, and your balloons, blue, green and pink." She said.
"We're in." Dipper said with the same look as before.
Ronnie Anne had a bored look and said in a deadpan manner," Well that was anti-climatic. I was hoping I could beat down some guards. Lincoln told me about some videos Lynn uses to find new fighting moves. Can I try them out on you Luke?" She said and held her fists up threateningly at him.
Dipper looked scared, he started to sweat and some memories of when Lynn used him or Lincoln as targets and said," N-no, that's not necessary."
Ronnie Anne chuckled and punched him in the shoulder and said," Relax, I was joshing you."
"Ha! She got you bro!" Mabel laughed.
Dipper had an annoyed look and said," Let's get this thing over with."
They walked through the museum looking for the next clue.
"What are we gonna do next, steal Thomas Jefferson's Rib Cage and have Lisa analyze it for clues? Just like in the show 'Skeleton's'?
Dipper and Ronnie Anne gave her weirded out and disturbed looks at her.
"What is wrong with you?"
"Ewww, no. According to the map, the next clue about the real town founder should be right… here!"
He points at a triangular stone piece mounted on the wall.
"We've gotta figure out this one out quick, I have a feeling those cops weren't at the library to check out books…"
"I don't think the one with the bell can read…" Mabel said.
"I think your sister, Leni, is smarter than him. Also, I haven't interacted with those two much but I think their more than just friends." Ronnie said.
"You have a point. So, what is it anyway?"
The both of them analyze it for a few minutes. Mabel gets bored and walked over to the bench and sat down.
"Hey painting, be less stupid," Mabel said as she turned upside down and gasped.
"It worked!"
"Huh?" Dipper said.
Both him and Ronnie Anne went over to the bench and did the same thing.
"Huh, it was upside down." Ronnie said.
"It's not abstract, it's upside-down!" Dipper said.
Ronnie gave him an annoyed look and said," That's what I said Dorker." She said and Dipper ignored her.
"I think I've seen that statue at the cemetery." Mabel said.
"Let's go, vamonous, amigo's!" Ronnie said, a little excited.
"That's a saying from 'Dora the Adventurer'." Mabel said in awe.
"Really?"
"Let's go! Quick!"
All three of them got off the bench and stood up, but they got dizzy and held their hands for a second and then ran off.
Blubs and Durland were at the entrance of the museum and the same employee from before where giving them their stuff.
"I'm sorry, but we're all out of pink balloons." She apologized.
Durland face fell and said disappointingly," Why did we even come?"
"Officer Blubs?" The Dispatcher said through Blubs Walkie-talkie.
Both cops went out of earshot with Blubs saying," Blubs here."
"Have the targets been apprehended?"
"Negative, but we're close. I promise, those kids'll never get past us."
Contrary to what he said, the kids ran past them and the cops chase them. Ronnie was the last one out and got the idea to close one of the doors and ran again after she did. Both cops get stuck at the door.
"Ha! See ya lame-o!" Ronnie taunted.
Back with Stan he was struggling to get of the stocks. He somehow found a hairpin and was trying to unlock the lock with it by using his mouth.
"C'mon, c'mon, ugh!" Stan cursed and accidentally dropped the pin.
Pacifica was nearby and picked up and said," Well, if it isn't Mabel's uncle, Mr. Pines, Looking for this?" She said as she held up the pin.
"Yeah, yeah. What d'ya want, money?" Stan scowled.
"I want you to say that the Northwest family I the best family in Gravity Falls." She said.
"Oh sure, you want that in writing?" He sarcastically said.
Pacifica gave him a pen held out a note book. Stan used his mouth to move the pen and was finished.
"There you go."
Pacifica looked at the note and had a shocked look. The note read 'YOU STINK!'
"Ha! I did that with my mouth!" Stan triumphantly said.
Pacifica glared at him, and then whistled at some people who were near a tomatoes stand. She pointed at Stan and they walked over to them, while holding the tomatoes menacingly.
"Aw, come on!" Stan yelled.
The rest of the Loud's were standing nearby, watching the spectacle.
"There something here about this, and I can't put my finger on it." Lincoln said.
"It's karma, dude, Stan had it coming." Luna said.
"More like poetic justice." Lucy said, and they nodded.
Lori had a annoyed look but she calmed down a bit as she held her phone," At least we're getting this on video. This is literally, gold."
"Did they even have phones?" Lana said.
"Negative, the closest thing to a cellular device in that time period was the Telegraph. But they had camera's back then." Lisa said.
"Hey guys! I got a wheelbarrow full of fruits and vegetables here, waiting to be thrown!" Wendy said with said wheelbarrow.
The kids smiled at each other. Even though when the day was over and Stan would be released. He would be mad and punish them, but it was going to be worth it. They all, including Lola and Leni, grabbed the produce and started throwing it with Wendy and her friends.
"Yep, this was totally worth it." Lincoln said to the readers.
Meanwhile the others, they had gotten to the cemetery and had found a secret passageway.
"Now we're getting into real conspiracy mode. I feel serious. Mmm." Mabel said and ate some candy.
"Bobby and Lori watched a couple of movies like this. I was bored and decided to watch one with them, even though they made out. Blegh. There were always Booby traps." Ronnie Anne said.
"Then we need to be careful." Dipper said.
"Ha, booby traps. Luan can come up with a couple of jokes for that." Leia chuckled.
She then stopped on a tile and it activated a trap. A bunch of darts flew out of a wall and sent towards them.
"Tranquilizer darts!" Dipper yelled and grabbed the girls hands and maneuvered them away from them.
After they dodged them they all fell down a path. And it lead them into a small set up filled with important, confidential stuff.
"It's a treasure trove of historic-y, secret-y things." Mabel said.
She picked up some pictures. One had two pictures of Abraham Lincoln, one with his hat and the other without and a hand was sticking out of it. Another was of Benjamin Franklin, who was wearing earrings and a sub-caption said that he was actually a woman.
"Huh, who knew?" Ronnie said.
Dipper found a document titled 'Northwest Cover-up'," Hey, jackpot! Now we'll find out who the real town founder was." He reads the document," Let it be here recordered that Nathaniel Northwest, fabled founder of Gravity Falls, was, in fact, a fraud… as well as a waste-shoveling village idiot? Ha! Bad news for Pacifica. Wait'll the papers hear about this!"
"Once, people see I uncovered a historical conspiracy, they can never call me silly!"
"And I won't always be known as a tough girl." Ronnie said.
The twins look at her.
"What?" Lucas said.
'Uh… nothing, continue reading."
Dipper let go for now and continued to read the document," The true founder of Gravity Falls was Sir Lord, Quentin Trembley, III, Esquire."
"Who's Quentin Trembley?" Leia said and Ronnie Anne shrugged.
"That's none of your business!"
The kids turned around and gasped to see Blubs and Durland.
"Whoo! We gotcha! Whoo!... Whoo! Hmm whoo-ooo-"
Durland passed out and fell to the floor, and was revealed to have several Tranquilizing darts sticking out of his back and head.
"He got hit with quite a few of those darts." Blubs said.
Durland got up a minute later, but he still looked a little out of it.
"Quentin Trembley is a matter of National Security."
"Yeah! Ye—ah… (puts hands on his knees)… woo. I think I might be colorblind now." Durland said.
"What do you mean, 'National Security'?" Lucas asked.
"And who is Quentin Trembley, anyway?" Leia asked.
"Yeah start talking." Ronnie Anne said with a raised eyebrow.
"See for yourself."
Blubs took off his hat and got a reel of film. He puts it into a projector and the screen showed a countdown in black and white.
"Aww, it's black and white?!" Mabel said disappointed.
"Shh! Mabel!"
A Government Official was on the video and said, "If you're watching this, then you are one of the eight people in these United States with clearance to view this information. In fact, I myself will be shot as soon as the filming is complete. What? No? Ho! Well, that's a relief! Of all of America's secrets, the most embarrassing was that of Quentin Trembley. The eighth-and-a-half President of the United States."
"President?" The three kids said.
"Eighth-and-a-half?" The girls said.
"After winning the 1837 election in a landslide. (On the video, a picture of Quentin Trembley and other Presidential candidates. A literal landslide kills all the candidates, minus Trembley.) Quentin Trembley quickly gained a reputation as America's silliest president. He waged war on pancakes, appointed six babies to the supreme, and issued the de-pants-ipation proclamation. His state of the union speech was even worse."
"The only thing we have to fear is gigantic, man-eating spiders!" A reenacted recording of Trembley said.
"Heh, imagine telling that to Leni. She'll head for the hills." Ronnie joked.
"Heh, yeah." Leia agreed.
"He was kicked out of office and escaped to an uncharted valley he named Gravity Falls, after plummeting into it at high speed. Trembley's shameful term was erased from history and officially replaced by William Henry Harrison as President, and local nobody, Nathaniel Northwest, as founder of Gravity Falls. The whereabouts of President Trembley's body is unknown." The Official finished.
"Until now." Blubs said.
He shined his flashlight at Trembley himself, who was encased in an amber-colored rectangle.
"Whoa! Is that, like, amber or something?"
"How did we miss that?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"The fool thought he could live forever by encasing himself in a block of solid peanut brittle. Smooth move, Mr. President! Finding Trembley's body was our special mission. And now, thanks to you, it's complete." Blubs said.
"Who knew all we had to do was follow a little girl's trail of candy wrappers?" Durland said and held one of Mabel's candy wrappers.
"Ugh, silly!" Leia face palmed.
"It's not exactly silly... but it was dumb, sorry." Ronnie Anne explained.
"Now that you know the truth, well, we can't let you go around talkin' about it."
Ronnie had a bad feeling and said, "Hold up, does that mean-?"
"Are you going to kill us?!" Mabel said horrified.
"OH NO!" Durland cried.
"No, no!... Calm down now buddy, calm down. We're just gonna escort you and all this stuff back to Washington. You ain't comin' back, by the way." Blubs said.
"Not if I punch you guys!"
Ronnie Anne rolled up her sleeve and was about to walk towards them, but she stepped on a tile. There was a whooshing sound, and Ronnie Anne then fell down face first, and there was a dart in her backside.
Durland sighed and said," Oh boy, glad that wasn't me that time."
Later, the kids, after Ronnie Anne woke up, and they filled her in on what was going on. They were with Trembley's body, in were inside a crate, on a train, heading to Washington D.C. They were banging on the walls, attempting to get out.
Ronnie Anne tried to use her phone but she couldn't get a signal. "Ugh! I can't get a signal. I can't call Bobby or anyone else." Ronnie Anne fumed, and slightly shook her head, trying to get the effects off the dart of her.
"Well, we won't be going anywhere soon, now is the time to tell us what you were talking about earlier." Dipper said.
Ronnie Anne sighed and sat against the wood and said," Well, I've been thinking a lot and I can't be known as the tough girl. I mean, those closets to me know I'm not, including you guys, my family, and Sid. I mean I get straight A's in school and that could classify as smart, not on Lisa level though. But, I guess some people don't know that. I need to be somebody else, grow up a little and not be so... tomboyish I guess. That was one of the reasons why I wanted to join you guys. Lincoln told me about how you guys have been going on adventures. And yes, Lincoln told me about the magical, and paranormal aspect of it. He knew that him and everyone else can trust me. And I thought going adventure hunting with you and the others will help."
Both siblings felt bad for her, but, they realized that their had to be something else that caused her to think about all of this.
"Wait, did Pacifica tell you this?" Dipper asked.
Ronnie sighed and said," Yeah, although she was sorta right, normally I wouldn't give a hoot on what she says but she was sorta right. Can't believe I let that Silver Spooned brat get in my head."
"Did you even tell Linc or Bobby about this?" Mabel asked.
Ronnie Anne rubbed the back of her neck and said," I was sorta embarrassed to ask and I was actually planning on asking you or one of your other sisters, like Lori, to help me find something else I'm good at."
"Huh, your predicament is the same as mine. Also, Lincoln won't make fun of you, and neither would Bobby or anyone else. They'll understand." Mabel reasoned.
"She's right and you can come with us anytime, welcome aboard." Dipper said with a smile.
"Thanks, guys, appreciate it." Ronnie said.
"Yeah, but still, I can't believe I left a trail of candy wrappers. This is all my fault. Pacifica had me pegged all along. I'm just a silly failure, like the embarrassing President what's-his-name."
Leia then took off a piece of Peanut Brittle and ate it. It then breaks apart the rest of the block and frees Trembley. Instead of being dead, he was miraculously alive.
"Aahh!" The three of them said.
"It is I, Quentin Trembley." He said and proceeded to rip off his pants, and he was in his underwear.
Ronnie Anne looked away disgusted and said," Ah, dude! Show some decency!"
"You're alive! But how?" Dipper asked.
"Peanut Brittle really does have life-sustaining properties! You're not silly, you're brilliant!" Mabel said impressed.
"And so are you, dear girl, for following my clues and freeing me from my delicious tomb!" Trembley congratulated Leia.
"None of the makes any sense but I guess he's right. Mabel, you made maps into hats, hung upside-down. Heck, your silliness solved the code that serious cops and maybe your sister, Lisa, couldn't crack in hundred years." Ronnie Anne said.
"Oh, stop it." Mabel gushed.
"By Jefferson! We seem to be trapped in some sort of crate-shaped box." Trembley said he looked around.
"It's a crate, Mr. President." Leia said.
"Should we be worried once he sees how modern everything is?" Ronnie Anne whispered to Dipper.
Dipper thought about it for a moment, shrugged, and said," We'll cross that bridge once we get there."
Later, after they escaped from the crate and the cops. It had turned out that Quentin hadn't resigned and was still technically the President and he sent them on a vacation. Turned out the place they wanted to go to was the Water Park in Great Lakes City where Ronnie Anne lived. After that, Trembley made Mabel a U.S Congressman, gave Dipper his Presidents key, which can open anything. And also made Ronnie Anne his bodyguard, whenever he needed her and also gave her his lucky rabbit, which was an actual Rabbit he had in his pocket and it had survived with him.
They were making it back into town with Trembley telling them a story.
"And then he chased me around and spanked me with a paddle for, like, three hours. Bottom line, George Washington was a jerk."
"A-greed!" Leia said.
They soon found Pacifica and Mabel approached her.
"Hey, Pacifica! I uncovered a Government Conspiracy about the eighth-and-a-half President of the United States! Who's silly now?"
"What?" Who is that idiot?"
Trembley was chasing a Bald Eagle and was trying to fight it.
"Put up your dukes, you bald fiend!"
"The eighth-and-a-half President of America. How is he still alive? Well, turns out you can hibernate in Peanut Brittle and it-"
Pacifica burst into laughter and said," Wow! You really are a sad, dumb little girl. Nic top, by the way." She mocked.
She continued laughing with her parents and they all got into a car.
"Aren't you gonna tell her?" Ronnie Annie asked.
"You know what, guys? I've got nothing to prove. I've learned to see silly awesome!" Mabel said cheerfully.
"Well, I haven't learned anything." Dipper said.
"Me neither." Ronnie Anne said.
They went over to Pacifica with Dipper giving her the document and Ronnie Anne throwing mud at the car and it drove off.
They walked back to Mabel and then their siblings walked over to them.
"There you guys, are! We've been looking all over for you. Ronnie, where did you get the Rabbit?" Bobby asked.
"It's a long story bro."
"And who's that?" Lori asked, pointing to Trembley.
"He's the eighth-and-a-half President of the United States. And I'm a Congresswoman." Mabel proudly said.
"He's who?" Lola said.
"That silly." Lisa said.
"I have to top it off to you sis, that's some, cr-eight-zy stuff." Luan said and laughed.
Everyone groaned minus Trembley, who laughed.
"Ha! Good joke, when is it your birthday?"
"Uh, July 6th."
"Then I hereby make it a National Holiday! I will see you around kids. Also, for you young Princess, some money. The negative twelve dollar bill." He said and handed it to Lola.
"Wow, this is worthless." Lola deadpanned.
"If any of you need me. I shall be back in a moment's notice. Trembley away!"
He jumped backwards onto a horse and rode away.
"What just happened?" Lana asked.
"We'll explain it later, so, what's there to do here?" Dipper asked.
Everyone shrugged and went around town to enjoy the rest of the day, while the three explained what happened. And also released Stan, even though he was still mad everyone.
So yeah, Ronnie Anne will help with the adventure stuff with the Journal, and so will Bobby. Had to have them join in sometime.
Till next time.
