Chapter 2: The Legend of the Gobblewonker

It was just a normal morning in the Mystery Shack, the kids and Erza had breakfast. Mabel and Dipper were having a syrup race, which Mabel won.

That was when Dipper noticed an ad for a contest for weird photos.

"Hey look at this!" said Dipper.

"Human sized hamster ball!" said Mabel seeing an ad for something else, "I'm human sized."

"Maybe for your birthday." Said Erza.

"Thank you…" said Mabel hit eyes sparkling.

"I was talking about this." Said Dipper pointing to the ad about the contest.

"No cheating." Said Erza, "I know it's okay if we sue our magic in public, but that crossed the line."

"Yes." Sighed Dipper that thought hadn't even crossed his mind, plus it was clear that Erza didn't even read the ad since it was monster photo contest, "Hey Mabel did you get nay pictures of the gnomes."

"Nope just memories." Said Mabel then pulled out some hair, "That and beard hair."

"Why did you keep it?" asked Erza.

Mabel shrugged.

That was when Stan walked in.

"Hey kids! Do you know what today is?" asked Stan.

Erza looked up and got a bad feeling.

"Please tell me you're not going to try to have another bonding day with them?" asked Erza.

"Oh come on just because last time didn't do so well…" said Stan.

(Flashback)

He was making Mabel and Dipper make counterfeit 100-dollar bills.

"You call this Benjamin Franklin? He looks like a woman!" yelled Stan.

That was when they heard banging.

"Stan! I know what you're doing!" yelled Erza on the other side.

"Oh crap! IT's your mom!" yelled Stan.

Erza produced to break down the door.

(End of Flashback)

The three of them glared at him.

"Look I know the last one almost got the kids arrested." Said Stan, "But this time I will promise real family fun within the confines of the law."

Erza sighed.

"Fine…" said Erza, "I have to do more house hunting anyway…"

"What was wrong with the last one?" asked Stan.

"Communist spiders." Answered Erza.

"I hate those weird commie spiders." Said Stan, "Just because I have a lot of money doesn't make me a captivity swine."

"There were a lot in the last house." Sighed Erza.

"Oh okay! Now that's settled" said Stan with a big smile, "Who wants to put on blindfold and get into my car!"

Both kids cheered then Dipper realized what he said.

The drive there while better than whenever Erza drove it was ethic due to Stan cataracts. But they made it without any crashes…

Okay… that was a lie, but they weren't injured when the car landed.

"All right you can take your blindfolds off now." Said Stan.

They took them off and saw that it was a lake.

"Ta-da! It's fishing season." Said Stan.

"Fishing?" asked Mabel.

"What you playing at old man?" asked Dipper.

"Oh come on it's fishing, you'll love, in fact almost the whole town is here." Said Stan.

They looked that many people from through the town was there was including Wendy's father "Manly" Dan bonding with three sons.

Said bonding included beating up fish… so yeah…

"See quality family bonding." Said Stan.

"Grunkle Stan, why do you want to bond with us all of sudden?" asked Dipper.

"It will be great. I've never had fishing buddies before, the guys at the lodge don't go with me because they don't "Like" or "trust" me." Said Stan.

"I think he actually wants to fish with us." Whispered Mabel.

Both of them were unsure about this… then Stan presented with a gift. Hats with their named…

"Pines family hats!" said Stan who seemed very proud, "That's real hand stitching right there.."

Both of the names were very poor, Dipper's said "Dippy" and the "L" in Mabel fell off.

"Yep… just you, me and those goofy hats in a boat for 10 hours." Said Stan.

"10 Hours…" said Dipper phreaking out.

"I even brought a joke books." Said Stan.

"No… no…" said Dipper.

"Going house hunting with mom would have more exciting." Said Mabel.

Meanwhile Erza was looking though a rather strange looking garden with the relator who was a woman with short brown hair wearing a blue headband.

"As you can see the owner planted this lovely garden." Said the realtor.

That was when they heard a hissing sound, and suddenly sere veal of the plants grabbed the relator.

"Um… Mrs.… Pines… help again?" asked the realtor.

Erza sighed and requiped into an armor that resembled a one-piece swim suit with her air done in long pigtails. She began to fight the evil plant using a sword that shot out fire.

Back at the lake.

"If only something would happen to get us out of this." Sighed Mabel.

"I seen it again! I SEEN IT AGAIN!" yelled an old man with a long beard showing up, "The Gravity Falls Gobblewonker! Come quick before it Scrabdoodles away!"

The old man began to do a jig.

"Aw… he's doing a happy jig." Said Mabel.

"NO!" yelled the old man. "It's a jig of grave danger!"

That was when a man showed up and started spraying the old man with a water bottle.

"Hey what did I tell you about scaring my customers. This is your last warning dad!" said the man.

However the old man continued to claim that there was a monster in the lake with a long neck and wrinkly skin (using Stan as an example of it) .

"It chawed up my boat to smitheroons and shimmshammed to Scuttlebutt Island! YOU GOTTA BELIEVE ME!"

Of course everyone laughed at him, especially after one of the cops made a joke about it.

"Aw Donkey Spittle!" yelled the old man, "Aw, banjo polish!"

The old man left and everyone ignored what happened.

"Well that happened." Said Stan, "Now let's untie that boat!"

"Mabel did you hear what that gold guy said?" asked Dipper.

""Aw Donkey Spittle"" said Mabel doing an impression.

"No about the other thing, about the monster if we can snag a picture we can split the prize 50/50." Said Dipper.

Mabel gasped "two fifties!" she said.

"No I mean imagine what you can do with 500 dollars!" said Dipper.

Mabel imitated what it would be like to be in a giant hamster ball.

"ALL RIGHT!" yelled Mabel, "I am a million percent on board withy this!"

"Grunkle Stan, change of plans." Said Dipper, "We're going to take that boat to Scuttlebutt island and to find that Gobblewonker!"

The twins began to chant "Monster Hunt", they were soon joined by the old man, when it got awkward he left.

[However when there was loud horn and Soos showed up in a much better boat than San's boat, which was named the Stan-O-War.

"You dues say something about a monster hunt?" asked Soos.

"Soos!" said Mabel happily.

"What's up hambone." Said Soos as they fist bumped, "Dude you can totally use my boat for your hunt, it's got a steering wheel, seats, normal boat stuff."

"All right, all right." Said Stan, "You could waste your time on some exciting monster hunt or you could learn how to tie knots and skewer worms."

When trying to chose between Soos and his awesome boat and Stan and his grumpy old man way they chose Soos!

"We made the right choice!" said Mabel.

"Yes!" cheered Soos.

Stan watched them leave.

"Ingrates… who need them I got a whole bunch of creepy fishing lures to keep me company." Said Stan.

This didn't work as well they were creepy.

And so they headed to the island but turned back to get some sunscreen, as they headed to get sunscreen Soos asked this.

"So where's your mom today?" asked Soos.

"More house hunting." Sighed Dipper.

Meanwhile in another house that was an old very nice house.

"As you can see this house is very beautiful with a…" said the relator.

That was when things began to move.

"get out! Get out!" whispered a voice.

"ANOTHER GHOST! COME ON!" yelled the relator.

"This is the 5th one… right?" asked Erza.

"Yeah…" sighed the relator.

Back in Soos' boat they were disusing cameras.

"alright. If we want to win this contest we got to do it right" Said Dipper, "What's the number 1 problem of all monster hunts."

"You're a side character and you die within the first five minutes of a movie?" asked Soos, "Dude? Am I a side character? Do you ever think about this?"

"No, no, no. Camera trouble. Say big foot shows up" said Dipper the turned to Soos, "Soos, be big foot."

Soos did the big foot pose.

Dipper began to show the problem that he didn't have a camera and the when he did it didn't have any film.

"You see what I'm doing here?" asked Dipper.

"Oh yeah Dude's got a point." Said Soos.

"That's why I bought 17 disposable cameras!" said Dipper, "2 on my ankles, three in my jacket, four for each of you, three in my bag and one under my hat. There's no way we're going to miss this! All right let's test out the cameras."

The testing turned out to be a bad idea, Soos got blinded by one and threw it overboard, Mabel threw one at a bird, Soos lose two more when he misheard Dipper to not lose their cameras and Dipper accidently smashed one, leaving 12 left.

Then were done to 11 when Mabel tossed in another one over arguments if she could be co-captain.

After a few more bits of humorous misadventures (such a Soos eating fish food and Mabel using a Pelican as a dummy), they crash into an island.

They took a lantern and began to explore the rather foggy island. They came across a sign that said "Scuttlebutt Island" of course Soos covered the part that said "scuttle" and said "Dude Check it out, Butt island."

Mabel laughed.

"Oh you Scallywag." Laughed Mabel she noticed Dipper wasn't' laughing, "What's wrong Dipper? You scared?"

"I'm not scared." Said Dipper.

She poked his nose and blew a raps beery, "Yes you are." She said.

She continued to poke and blow raspberries causing him to drop the lantern until they heard a horrible noise.

"What was that?" asked Dipper.

"Was that your stomach Soos?" asked Mabel.

"No my stomach only makes whale noises." Said Soos, Mabel placed her ear on Soos' stomach and heard whale songs.

"So Majestic." Said Mabel.

However suddenly an opossum (which should not be mixed up with possum which aren't' even native to North America) stole the lantern.

"Great now we can't see where we're going." Muttered Dipper.

"Dipper, have you forgotten?" asked Mabel, "Requip!"

She suddenly changed out her sweater for a different one, this one had a light bulb on it.

"Beep." Said Mable as she pressed it and it lit up.

"You know should make new sweaters for situation like this." Said Dipper.

"don't' worry, I'll come up with some," said Mabel.

As they searched for the monster they heard the noise again. They saw a monster like shape in the water.

"All right! Get ready!" said Dipper.

They all got read to take the pictures of the thing in the water… which as it turned out to be a wrecked boat and beavers hanging out.

"I love cavorting!" said one of the beavers in his own beaver language.

"That deserves a hug." Said another beaver in the beaver language.

"What was making the monster sounds?" asked Dipper.

They turned to see another beaver chowing on part of an old chainsaw, which was making that sound.

"Cool beaver with a chainsaw." Said Soos taking pictures.

Dipper sighed, "Maybe that old man was crazy."

"He did use a lot of weird words." Said Mabel.

Meanwhile Erza continued house hunting.

"All right this one just came onto the market the other day." Said the relator.

They opened the door to find Gnomes with battle plans.

"All right! Jeff is still lost." Said one of the gnomes, "But I'm sure we can get back at those Pines."

Erza walker over and jammed a sword into their battle plans.

"Cripes! It's the mom!" said one of the gnomes.

They all ran away and left the house.

The realtor stared at her.

"Long story." Said Erza.

The relator nodded.

"If I choose this house they know where I live… so I can't this one." Sighed Erza.

The realtor only could dumbly nod.

Back on Scuttlebutt island. Soos was taking pictures of beavers while Dipper sulked.

"what are we going opt say to Grunkle Stan? That we ditched him over nothing?" asked Dipper. He sat on a rock.

That was when everything began shake and the rock he sat on fell into the water.

They saw at the monster was swimming in the water.

Dipper was so excited to take it picture that he didn't noticed it swam right at them.

"It's not that hard all you have to do is point and click." Said Dipper taking the picture.

However it almost ate them it if it wasn't for Soos grabbing the two of them and running like hell.

Dipper even dropped the camera he took the picture but it but Soos still carried him away.

"If it makes you feel better I took lots of parties of those beavers." Said Soos.

"Why would that make me feel better?" asked Dipper.

The monster chased them across the island and they got back to the boat. Mabel requiped into the sweater and life jacket she was wearing earlier just to be safe.

They began to drive away.

"Soos quick take the photo!" yelled Dip[per.

Soos threw the cameras as the Gobblewonker.

"Soos what are you doing?" asked Dipper.

"Hey don't' worry there's one left." Said Soos.

HE tossed it at Dipper but of course it broke.

Soos knew he had to take the helm and a great chaise scene ensued. They crashed into the beavers, this caused many problems, including sticking Soos so Mabel had to take the helm. However the roof of the boat was broken off and they ended up crashing into many people. Including sinking Manly Dan's boat.

They also crashed into two people carrying some glass…

Because that always happens in chaise scenes.

They continued on their ways until they got to a waterfall.

"Go into the falls I think there might be a cave behind there." Said Dipper.

"Might be!" yelled Mabel.

Thankfully they did it and there was. The Gobblewonker continued the chased but got stuck in the mouth.

"IT's stuck…" said Mabel.

"It's stuck." Said Dipper he began to search for a camera, Mabel lift his hat and she grabbed that camera and took many pictures.

"Any good ones?" asked Mabel.

"They're all good ones!" said Dipper.

They both celebrated their victory.

However that when a rock landed on it started to make strange noise, like it wasn't' real.

Dipper approached the monster, he touched it, it didn't fell right, then he tapped and it made a hollow noise.

He climbed over the beast.

"Hey guys you need to check this out." He called out.

They did so and saw a door of some kind. Dipper monition to the hatch and opened it. Steam out and it was revealed that inside was the crazy old man who told everyone about the monster.

"Aw… Banjo polish!" cried the old man.

They were all baffled… after all they weren't expecting something out of Scooby Doo…

"You… you made this!" cried Dipper in shock, "Why?"

"Well… uh…I… Just wanted attention.," said the old man.

"I still don't understand." Said Dipper.

"Well you see I just hootenannied a bio-mechanical brainwave generator, and learned how to operate a stick sift with my beard." Said the old man.

"Yeah… okay…" said Mabel, "But why did you do it?"

"Well you see when you get be an old fella like me no one pays attention to you any more. My son hasn't' visited me in months. So I figured building a fifteen ton aquatic robots would catch his fancy." Said the old man, "In retrospect it seems quit contrived. But you don't understand the length us old timers will go through to spend some quality time with our families."

Dipper and Mabel looked at the hats that Stan made them now understood.

"IT seems like the real lake monsters were you two." Said Soos, "Sorry dudes, it just popped into my head like that… you know…"

"So…" sad Mabel, "Did you ever talk to your son?" asked Mabel.

"Nope! I got right to work on the robot." Said the old man who began to explained that he used the same attics on his wife who left him and old friend who didn't come to his retirement party…

"Time to work on my death ray." He said cheerfully, "Any of you kids got a screw driver."

"Well that's for the photo contest." Sighed Dipper.

"We still have one more roll of film left." Said Mabel.

"what do you want to do with it?" asked Dipper.

After salving Soos' boat at much as possible they went to find Stan.

Which they did.

"Hey! Look over here." Said Mabel.

"What?" muttered Stan, "I thought you went to play spin the bottle with Soos."

"We spent all day trying to find a legendary Dinosaur…" sighed Dipper.

"But the only Dinosaur we want to spend time with is right here." said Mabel.

"Save it I made plenty of friend today." Said Stan.

Actually he harassed many people including ruined a couple's wedding proposal, harassed a child and has run in with the cops and now have to wear a ankle bracelet.

"Any room for three more?" asked Dipper.

Stan glared at them.

However the two put their hats on.

"Ever seems me thread a hook with my eyes closed." Said Stan.

"5 bucks says you can't do it." Said Dipper.

"You're on!" said Stan.

They got on his boat while Mabel said ,"Five more bucks says you can't do while I sing at the tope of my lungs."

"You're on!" said Stan.

And as it turned out they had a wonderful day fishing… fishing and stealing fish from other people getting them once again in trouble with the law… either way it was a surprisingly wonderful day…

However little did they knew that below them the Gobblewonker was real all along…

That and Erza had yet to find a decent house that wasn't filed with some kind of horrible creature or something…

Next Time: Stan rediscovers his old wax museum and in order to celebrate it's grand reopening, Mabel creates a Wax figure of him... However when someone beheads it ups to Dipper, Mabel and Erza to figure out the culprit... however nothing is as it seems...
