'Bill thinking'
'Dipper thinking'
"Bill mind/dream scape talking"
"Dipper mind/dream scape talking"


After the whole smart Waddles and the Machine scanning Dipper/Bill's body incident, along with discovering a new soul inside of them when they agree and speak at the same time, from yesterday. They decided to take a small break again by watching everyone's favorite movies, even Soos came over and brought one of his anime movies he likes to watch.

The first movie they watch was Mabel's and lets just say she's the only one enjoying it, because it's way too cutesy for everyone and it can rot the persons brian. Thankfully it's getting to the end and no one else has to suffer anymore. "You did it, Shimmery Twinkleheart!" said the little girl name Cinnamon, the giant start that looks something out of a two year old's drawing said "No, you did it, Cinnamon..." Mabel said the next lines with the giant yellow star "...because you believed in yourself." And the movie was over.

"Uhhh..." Stan and Soos moan in agony at the cuteness, while Dipper/Bill declared that "Everything about this is bad. This is a work of brain rotting nightmares and terror." Bill/Dipper declared the last part.

Stan gets up from his chair and said "Well, that just put me 90 minutes closer to death." Bill/Dipper let out a chuckle because its somewhat true, as Stan walks to the TV and pulls his choice of his favorite movie. "It's time you kids learned to watch the classics from my day."

Everyone got comfy again: Soos took Stan's seat, Dipper/Bill got up from laying down and scoot up next to Mabel who said "Ooo, old people movies. Get ready for references we don't understand, and words we can't repeat." "Amen to that, Shooting Star." Bill/Dipper.

Stan puts in the VHS tape and movie beings with the title of the movie followed with the action scene of the main character fighting a giant cyclops made out of clay. "You're no match for Loinclothiclese! I've come for the golden pants!" Seeing the sight of the cyclops on screen made Mabel turns her happy bubbly sun shine mood to a frighten scaredy cat(kitten) on a dime. It got even worst when the cyclops roars at the camera, making Mabel to scream in fear, pointing at it and run out of the room.

Dipper/Bill stand up and tries to stop her, "Oh no. Mabel!" but it was already too late. Stan looks to where his niece ran off to before jabbing his thumb over at that direction, "Well. Your sister's broken."

Dipper/Bill facepalm as he explains what made his sister to react like this. "Oh, Grunkle Stan, I should have told you before. Mabel has a childhood terror of old-timey stop-motion animation. It's like her number one fear since we were kids." 'I've seen her mind before, but I didn't know she was scared of this.' Bill commented, while Stan only laugh it off and said "Heh heh. Come on, those hogey old things? How scared could she be?"

Oh it's not bad.

It's worst.

Mabel was in their attic bedroom in the closet, in a laundry basket filled with her sweaters she'd worn for this summer so far. Her eyes were wide open and shrunk in fear "The cyclops! His face is made of nightmares!"

Stan opens the closet door and tries to reason to his great-niece, "Kid, it's just a movie, it can't hurt you!" but to no avail she didn't come out of her makeshift cocoon of sweaters. "No talking. They wait for you to talk and then crawl inside your mouth!"

"I like to go on a record that I wasn't the cause of giving her nightmares" said Bill/Dipper, Dipper took over, "Why did you have to show her that tape?" Not wanting to get confused on who is in control of talking in his great-nephew's body, Stan then said "There's got to be a way to get her over this!"

Lucky for him, Soos was staring at the cosset tape case with the back facing Stan. Showing where the director Harry Claymore lives, which gives him an idea.

One drive to the celebrity's manor and workplace later.

The Male pines, Soos and Mabel who is still inside of her laundry sweater basket cocoon, are stand in front of the gate entrance. "Alright. If we can just get the director to show her the models are fake, maybe she'll finally calm down." said Stan.

Soos then mentions, "I don't know, dude. According to the Internet, special effects genius Harry Claymore is some kind of recluse." as he pulls out his cell phone reading the context on the internet. "The man wants his privacy. I can respect that." said Stan as he swings a climbing grabbling hook over the gate. "Well, everyone over the fence." he declared.

Once everyone was on the other side of the fence, Stan starts to explain to Mabel about her fear being nothing more than dolls. "You see, Mabel, those monsters are just clay models moved around one frame at a time, by an antisocial shut-in." Soos then added "Those people are called animators."

Dipper/Bill felt a sudden chill all over him, it could be what Soos had said or it's the senses of detecting dark magic. Probably the last one.

'Pine-Tree.' 'I know, I'm starting to feel it too.' 'You're getting better, Pine-Tree. Don't let your guard down.' Bill gave his advice as Dipper/Bill opens the door to the workshop shed and starts calling out the director, "Hello? Mr. Claymore?" No answer.

Stan calls out too "We wanna get a look at your figurines!" "We're not paparazzi!" The sound of a camera taking pictures off from a cell phone proves that Soos was some-what of a paparazzi. Dipper/Bill spots a mini gorilla figurine on the floor, "A-ha." he exclaimed as he picks it up and shows it to Mabel even if she can't see it. "See, Mabel? It's all just special effects. You can come out." "NO." was Mabel's only answer.

Stan wasn't having anymore of her stubborn fit, "Kid, listen to me. For the last time, there is nothing here to be afraid-" that's when he felt that something was standing behind him, and so where Dipper/Bill. Turning around, all of the males saw the same giant clay cyclops from the movie standing behind them and roaring at them.

Soos drops the basket holding Mabel, as the guys scream and back away from the clay formed monster that's, in Stan's loud opinion "It's slowly swiping at us!" witch it is. Soos then freezes in his spot, "Let's escape by standing still!" Soos shouted only to be grab by the clay-clops followed by Stan, "It didn't work!"

Clay skeletons appear out of the clays on the floor surrounding Dipper/Bill, the fused boy-dream demon ran while shooting small fires at them. Dipper didn't want to set the whole place on fire, so he tried to keep it at a low burn but even that isn't good enough to stop this things.

Not seeing where he was going, Dipper/Bill trips over the basket which cause Mabel to be thrown out of it. A clay skeleton reaches out of the clay pile and grabs onto her head, scaring the poor girl into running away.

It wasn't long until the Skeletons pinned Dipper/Bill to the ground with clay along with Stan and Soos. "How is this happening?! What do they want?!" an old man's voice answers his questions "I'm afraid they want you." It was the director himself, tied up and held as hostage by his own clay figures.

"Harry Claymore! Master of special effects! Circa-1970's-something." Stan exclaim, Mr. Claymore spoke again. "Alas, my effects are more special than you know." Dipper/Bill couldn't believe this man he had to ask why are they like this. "What? But how are these things real? What about stop motion?"

The director look at him as if he was crazy, "What? You really believe someone moves these figures one frame at a time? I'm not a masochist! I use black magic to make them animate themselves. It was great at first, but one day..." The old director told them how computer 3D animation is becoming more popular and clay stop go animation dying.

'Yeesh, they go all out crazy because they're no longer interesting or famous.' 'What a crazy world we live in, Pine-Tree.' Mr. Claymore continues his tale, "Now that they were out of work, they went mad and enslaved me! And now they will turn you into unholy beasts clay to join in their mischief!" "WhaT!?" Soos then commented "Well, Mr. Pines. At least you finally get to work with your favorite director. And by work, I mean suffocate inside a big wad of clay!"

The clay skeletons stuff Soos with more clay as they continue to fill more clay onto Stan and Dipper/Bill. Dipper/Bill suddenly felt off, as is sleep was starting to take over them. 'Pine-tree, please hurry! The magic is starting to take over. Fight it!' 'I'm trying my best, Bill!' The black magic was trying to absorb them into the clay, but neither Dipper or Bill wasn't having any of it.

Using all of his power to hold off on the clay, Dipper/Bill made sure of the temperature of the flame wouldn't burn themselves, even though it can't but they can still feel the heat of the flame and they don't want to burn everyone else in here.

Just when it seems that there was no hope, the cry Mabel's voice called out. "Hey, skeleton dorks! IT'S CLAYBACK TIME!" Mabel is standing on what use to be the cyclops is now the giant star from Mabel's favorite movie. Shimmery Twinkleheart.

"Dude, you conquered your fear!" Soos exclaim, "That's right. Because she believed in herself-" "CAN, IT, TWINKLEHEART! Just start pounding those skeletons!" Mabel yelled at the star as it went off destroying the skeletons. Mabel ran to her family and the director and free them from the clay.

"Mabel, you did it! So you're not scared anymore?" Dipper/Bill ask, but Mabel reply "Oh, I'm scared twice as much now. But now I know it's rational!" Stan then said, as he punches his way out of the remains of the clay "Kid, I'm sorry I doubted you. You were right! Stop-motion is pure evil."

Once everyone was out of the clay, they just watch the clay monsters killing each other. "And probably really expensive." Soos commented, Mr. Claymore conforms him, "Incredibly expensive." Soos then made another one, "This is an impressive fight, though. I'm glad I'm facing towards it. "

With all of the clay splattering all over the floor and the walls, it got even messier when unicorns fell from the sky on top of the clay monsters killing them off once and for all. Where did they even come from?

Everyone applauded after that, even Harry Claymore said "That was the best part." Soon they gave the director an apology for coming in without is permission and he thanks them for saving him from the clay monsters and ending their rain of terror.

On their way back to the shack, Dipper/Bill told Mabel how he felt the clay absorbing their energy and power nearly ending their lives, and that it was her who saved them. Mabel was over mood and hugs her dear brother tightly, not enough to choke him though, but still a nice tight hug.

Once they got back at the shack, they watch another Harry Claymore movie called: "Loiclothiclese in the creature with an unreasonable amount of heads." feeling more relax now that the dangers is over, Dipper/Bill said "Well, I think today we learned that you can remold your fears." while Mabel felt more relieved after everything that has happened today. "I'm just glad that none of us got turned into clay."

"Holy Toledo!" She spoke too soon, Soos came out of a green blue clay wall looking EVERY similar to a very old classic stop-go clay animation cartoon, Gumby. "Who wants to see me change into most anything? Do do do do do... I can walk through walls! Whoa, whoa-"

Soos did all of those things to a 'T' but right at to the end, his head got splattered by a VCR player. Curtesy of Stan Pines. Dipper/Bill and Mabel were holding onto each other in frightening huddles while Stan holds them protectively "We're safe now kids. We're safe."

Soos will be fine tomorrow, after reversing the curse of course.


Well that's that, and I'll be working on my work assignments for my classes and the occasionally updating stories I have yet to post or make new ones. See ya, stay safe and stay healthy.
