Chapter 7: Double Dipper

Stan, Soos, Wendy and Erza were decorating one of the rooms for a party. Mabel and Dipper using the silly string as fake vomit and Wendy joined in the fun.

"Party supplies are now off limits." Said Stan taking them away.

"So who's birthday it is again?" asked Soos.

"No one's. I figured a party would be a great way for kids to spend money as the Mystery Shack." Said Stan as he put up a Pin the Tail on the Donkey, "If they want fun, I'll smother them in fun!"

"I told you to stop making comments like that." Said Erza.

"Ye mother." Said Stan sarcastically.

Erza glared at him.

Stan rolled his eyes and handed a flier to Dipper.

"Here make yourself useful and make some copies of the fliers." Said Stan.

"Oh a trip to the copier store." Said Mabel.

"Calendars, mugs t-shirts and more! They got it all at the copier store!" Sid Soos, "That's not their slogan, I just really like the copier store that much."

"No need, you know that old copier up in my office I finally got the old girl working." Said Stan, "Good as new."

Dipper and Mabel went up the office. The copier was old busted and moth covers, which Mabel thought were butterflies.

"Does this thing even work?" asked Dipper.

He laid hi arm on the copier and let it copy his arm.

It did indeed create a copy of his arm.

"It works!" said Dipper.

That was when the paper began to shake and suddenly the arm came to life.

Both of them screamed, Mabel who was drinking a said threw it at the arm, causing it to dissolve.

"I think this copier cane cop[y people!" yelled Dipper.

"Do you know what this means?" asked Mabel she then silly string "vomited" on him.

Sometime later Stan was giving assignments.

"All right Soos." Said Stan, "Since you're work for free and you begged you get to be DJ."

"You wont regret Mr. Pines, in fact I got this book to show me how to DJ r-r-r-right!" said Soos holding up a book.

"Erza, you're going to the parity's official chaperone. You know so the parents don't complain about responsible adults." Said Stan.

Erza nodded.

"All right Wendy, you can Mabel will be taking tickets." Said Stan.

"What but Grunkle Stan! This might be my chance at making new friends!" said Mabel.

"She right Stan." Said Erza.

"I could work the ticket stand with Wendy." Volunteered Dipper.

"Are you sure?" asked Erza.

Dipper nodded.

"You know that means you can't get out it, you have to work the whole night with just you and Wendy." Said Stan.

"I'll think I'll be fine." Said Dipper.

That night Dipper was getting ready for the night while Mabel mocked him.

"Laugh all you want." Said Dipper, "But I got a plan to make tonight perfect."

"Is it one of those overly complicated listy things?" asked Mabel.

"Overly complicated." Said Dipper he took out a very large piece of paper, "Step 1 getting to know each other with playful banter… it's like talking but smarter."

"Are you kids ready?" asked Erza stepping into the room she sighed and saw the list, "Oh no, not again…"

"What?" asked Dipper.

"You still haven't seen that show I told you watch, have you?" asked Erza.

"I'm not going to watch it." Said Dipper.

"Why?" asked Erza.

"Because it's My Little Pony." Said Dipper.

Erza sighed.

"Can't you just walk up to her like a normal person?" asked Mabel.

"That's step number 9." Said Dipper.

Mabel and Erza looked at each other especially after Dipper had a daydream of him dancing with Wendy.

Soon enoguh the party was in full swing. IT seemed to be going well…

Though that might have been Stan imposing "An exit fee" of 15 bucks.

Outside Dipper wasn't doing good.

His attempt at banter went badly when he asked her what was her favorite snack. When Wendy said she couldn't chose one Dipper replied "Mine too!"

Yeah, it wasn't going well.

Meanwhile inside Mabel was enjoying herself and partying hard.

Of course eventually she needed a break.

She sat down next to a rather large girl who had a lizard on her shoulder.

"Oh wow you have an animal on you!" said Mabel, "I'm Mabel."

"Hi, I'm Grenda." Said the large girl in a very deep voice, then she motioned opt a small girl of Asian decent, "And this is Candy."

She waved and it turned out she had forks taped to her fingers.

"Why do you have forks on your fingers?" asked Mable.

Candy reached into bowl, the forks ended up getting some popcorn.

"Improvement human being." Said Candy.

The lizard at the popcorn and Mabel realized something.

"I found my people!" yelled Mabel.

That was when Soos started to make an announcement.

"All right Party People." Called out Soos, "Who ever uh… parties the hardiest gets the party crown!"

He held up a crown.

"Wow!" said Candy and Grenda.

However a blonde girl walked up to Soos with a girl posse.

"Party crown? Hand it over." Said the girl.

"Who's that?" asked Mabel.

"That's the most popular girl in town, Pacifica Northwest." Said Candy.

"I always feel bad about myself when I'm around her." Said Grenda.

Back on the stage.

"I just cant' give it you, it's supposed to be a competition." Said Soos.

Pacifica grabbed the microphone.

"But who's going to competing against me? Fork girl? Lizard Lady?" asked Pacifica.

Mabel noticed this clearly hurt Candy and Grenda and she knew what to do. She walked over to the stage.

"I'll compete!" said Mabel happily.

Candy and Grenda were surprised.

"Hi I'm Mabel! I'm in new in town!" said Mabel.

"Mabel? That's a fat old lady name…" muttered Pacifica.

"I'll take that as a compliment." Said Mabel.

"May the better Partier win." Said Pacifica who walked away.

"Nice meeting!" called out Mabel.

That was when she got an idea.

"I need to go ask my mom something!" said Mabel.

She ran towards her mom who was sitting by the punch bowl.

"Hey! Mom! I'm in this contest…" said Mabel.

"I know." Said Erza with a smile, "I saw…"

She looked at Candy and Grenda and mailed, happy that her daughter already made some new friends.

"Anyways I came up with an idea! How about I use my magic for awesome effects!" said Mabel.

Erza looked at Mabel.

"I don't know." Sighed Erza.

That was when Pacifica noticed this.

"Oh trying to get advice from the chaperone?" asked Pacifica, "I doubt an old lady would know how to win."

Pacifica laughed and head to her friend to tell her what she just said.

"Mabel…" said Erza.

"Yes?" asked Mabel.

"Crush her…" said Erza.

Mabel smiled, she already had some outfits in mind to use.

Back at the ticketing booth, Wendy heard how great the party was going.

"I got to get in there"! said Wendy, she turned to Dipper, "Cover for me?"

"Well… uh…" said Dipper.

"Thanks man…" said Wendy.

Dipper looked at the people trying to get in.

"I'll be back in a few minutes." Said Dipper headed towards the Shack, "I'm sure Stan won't mind if I'm gone for a few minutes."

However Stan caught him trying to go in.

"Hey what are you doing? These suckers aren't going opt rip themselves off." Said Stan.

"Yeah!" yelled a random kid.

"You prosed remember." Said Stan bringing out a tape with Dipper saying he promised.

"I didn't…" said Dipper.

"I have it right there on tape." Said Stan.

He played the tape.

"Hey Erza do these pants make my ass look big… it's been a long time since I wore them." Said the recording on the tape.

"no… they look fine…" said Erza's voice on the tape.

Dipper cringed.

Stan stopped the tape.

"I didn't need to hear that." Muttered Dipper.

"I think I recorded the wrong thing." Said Stan.

That was when idea struck Dipper.

"What if I find someone to cover me." Said Dipper.

"Fine whatever… as long as you don't tell you mom you heard me swearing." Said Stan.

"Deal." Agreed Dipper.

And so Dipper went to Stan's office. He placed himself on the copier and copied himself. Soon enoguh the paper exited the copy machine and it attack strangely and he came to life.

There were a few differences. One thing he was but a paler than the real Dipper, also the real Dipper was wearing a bowtie and the last thing it was missing the Pine Tree from the hat.

After a few clone jokes (like stop copying me)

Dipper wrote down 2 in place of the pine tree.

"I will call you Number 2." Said Dipper.

"Absolutely not." Said the clone, "You know the name I've always wanted?"

"Tyrone?" both of them asked at the same time.

"Okay Tyrone, let's get down to business." Said Dipper.

They laid out the plan which was the newly dubbed Tyrone would cover the ticket stand while Dipper ask Wendy to dance.

"Hey we're not going to get jealous of each other each others and turn on each others?" asked Dipper.

"Hey I'm you, and besides you can always designate me if I do." Said Tyrone.

And so the plan began Dipper went into the party and saw Wendy.

As he walked over to her he noticed Mabel was using requip and was now wearing a very sparkly dress.

Dipper shrugged, hoping his mom was okay with and went over to talk to Wendy.

"Hey Wendy." Said Dipper, "I got someone to cover the table for me."

"That's cool." Said Wendy, "You can hang out with me and Robbie."

She turned to Robbie.

"Hey Robbie, remember Dipper from the Convenience Store?" asked Wendy.

"No." answered Robbie, "Hey Wendy check out my new guitar."

Dipper had another Day Dream of Robbie dancing with Wendy which lead to Wendy punching Dipper and wanting opt marry Robbie.

However a cellphone call got him out of it.

"Hey buddy, it's me… you." Said Tyrone's on the other end, "I just had the same jealously fantasy."

"Hey Dipper, we're going to sit on the couch, meet us when you're done." Called out Wendy.

"Oh no the couch." Said Dipper, "We got to think of something quick!"

That was when Dipper got an idea when he saw Robbie's bike.

"I got the same one but we're going to need help." Said Tyrone on the other end.

They met up in the office where Dipper was once again copied, named the Clone Number 3 and explained the plan of stealing Robbie's bike.

"but what if Robbie catches me, I'll be alone." Said Number 3.

"Okay this is a four Dipper plan." Said Dipper.

He made anther copy of himself.

However the copier got jammed. The clone came out but he was well jammed up and squished screaming and attacking Tyrone.

"You're not going to make me team up with him, are you?" asked Number 3.

"Don't be rude!" muttered Tyrone who began to calm down Paper-Jam Dipper.

"Okay just one more clone." Said Dipper.

Back in the party, it was time for a singing contest portion. Pacifica blare it out of the water to the extent her voice broke plastic cups.

"I used to sing like that then my voice changed." Sighed Grenda.

Once Pacifica was done she walked over and gave Mabel the microphone.

"Try to beat that." Sid Pacifica, "Oh and Grenda you sound like a Professional Wrester…"

"I want to put her in a Headlock and make her make her feel PAIN!" yelled Grenda.

Mabel went on stage.

"Soos give me either the 80s-ist crowd pleasing-ist rock-battly-ist song you got or Chasing a True Dream! I'm not picky!" yelled Mabel.

Soos found "Chasing a True Dream" first.

Mabel sang the song as she sang she first changed to a very poofy dress. A about a third into the song she changed into a very 80's outfit.

But during the last half she requiped into one of her trade mark sweaters one that had many LED lights sworn into it, because of that it lit like a rainbow!

When the song was done almost everyone in the room cheered.

Dipper meanwhile was telling Soos about the stolen bike. When he gave the message. Robbie heard about it and ran off to catch his bicycle.

"That's too bad." Said Dipper, "It was stolen by someone who wasn't me because I'm standing right here…"

That was when a slow song started and Wendy admitted to liking the song.

"Hey! Dipper!" said Mabel, "Why don't you ask We…"

However Dipper covered her mouth and dragged her away.

"Ask her to dance." Said Mabel.

"Does mom know you're requipping?" asked Dipper.

"Of course she does." Said Mabel, "She gave the okay."

She waved at her mother who smiled and waved back.

"I don't think I want to know…" said Dipper knowing that if their mother gave the okay then it must be something.

"Look go ask her to dance." Said Mabel.

"I'll be right back." Said Dipper running off.

Mable shrugged.

That was when Pacifica was approached Mabel.

"Look I don't know how you're able to change your clothes! But I'm going to find out." Said Pacifica.

"Do you want to know?" asked Mabel "Magic!"

Pacifica glared at her then walked away muttered something about make-up.

Mabel shrugged and started to once again dance.

Dipper met up Tyrone again to discus the plan, they cloned 7 additional Dippers, making up to 11 (12 if you count Paper Jam Dipper).

One of them would distract Soos with a laser pointer so he could in the perfect songs, another would distract Stan with a dollar on a fishing hook.

One of them would explain the situation to Erza.

"What?" asked Erza.

"I'm a clone and the copier machine clones us." Admitted number 11.

"Why?" asked Erza.

"So the real me can ask Wendy to dance." Said Number 11.

Erza faced palmed.

"I'm making the real you watch that episode of My Little Pony tomorrow." Said Erza.

"Why do you want me… uh… him to watch that episode so much?" asked Number 11.

She began to tell him about the episode.

Number 6 rang a bell signaling that everything was fine.

Dipper went down stairs to go ask Wendy for a date… however there was a bit of problem he hadn't foreseen.

Wendy having to use the bathroom.

"Wendy!" said Dipper surprised.

"Hey man!" said Wendy causally.

"What are you doing here… wouldn't you think it would be better to be on the dance floor in uh… exactly 42 seconds?" asked Dipper.

"I'm just waiting to use the bathroom." Said Wendy.

"Oh, okay…" said Dipper he pulled out his check list, "Small talk, small talk…"

"Hey." Said Wendy, "If everyone at the party all ended up on a deserted island who do you think would be the leader?"

"Uh…" said Dipper not coming up with the answer.

"I'd think that lunatic." Said Wendy pointing to the dance floor where a sweaty fat guy was dancing.

The two laughed while Dipper put the list away.

"Well it would have my mom… said Dipper.

"Okay new rule, no Mr. P…" said Wendy.

"Okay then." Said Dipper who looked autumn the dance floor. Then saw someone.

"I'd have to go with stretch over there." Said Dipper pointing to a very tall man doing the man walk, because tall guys can reach for coconuts.."

"Speaking of tall you want to see something?" asked Wendy.

She took out a pictures of herself when she was a kid.

"Here's my brothers." She said then she lifted her finger showing she was very tall as a child.

"Whoa! You're a freak!" blurted out Dipper.

"Yep." Answered Wendy with a smile.

Dipper sighed, "You know kids used opt make fun of my birthmark before I started covering it."

"Birthmark?" asked Wendy with interest.

"No… no I didn't say anything." Said Dipper, "It was nothing…"

"No way dude! Now you have to show me!" said Wendy.

Dipper sighed knowing he was trapped, he removed hair and lifted his bangs revealed a mark that resembled the big Dipper.

"So that explains your nickname… I always thought was because you have a really weird real name." said Wendy, "So I guess we're both freaks."

"Yeah…" laughed Dipper, "And also I found when I was little that Natsu is a name in Japan…"

"That's lucky." Laughed Wendy.

That was when the door opened and out came an angry Pacifica who was muttering stuff about "stupid costume changes."

"Hey, wait for me?" asked Wendy.

"Of course." Said Dipper.

However when Wendy entered the bathroom Tyrone showed up with most of the other clones.

"Hey! What's going on here?" asked Tyrone, "Number has been distracting Soos for 10 minutes, he'll get tired of the dot sooner or later."

"NEVER!" yelled Soos from the other room.

"You guys wont' believe it!" said Dipper, "I ran into Wendy and everything is going great!"

"That's nice, but it's not the plan… do we have to remind you." Said Tyrone.

All of the clones began to rattle off the plan.

"Oh man you guys sound like crazy!" said Dipper, "Look maybe we don't need the plan any more, maybe I could just talk to her like a normal person."

Everyone gasped in horror.

"Cute you tongue!" yelled Number 7.

"If you're not going to follow the plan maybe you should be the one to dance with Wendy." Said Number 5.

The other began to agree.

"Oh come on guys, I thought we agreed we wouldn't turn on each other." Said Dipper.

"We all knew we were lying." Said Tyrone.

Thankfully Dipper got the idea of pushing them away using his magic.

"2 Can play at that game!" said Tyrone.

All of the clone tired to use their magic. However the key word was "tried".

All of them tried to use their magic but nothing happened.

Turns out another difference between him and the clones were that they lacked magic.

Which was very lucky.

Dipper began to run away while the clones were distracted.

"He's getting away!" yelled Tyrone.

That was when Paper Jam Dipper started opt make noise… why he was there no one knew…

"Okay… okay… calm down…" said Tyrone.

He took out a snack cracker, "Do you want a snack?"

Paper Jam Dipper made some noise.

"All right." Said Tyrone who began to feed him, but couldn't be he didn't' have a real mouth, "Yikes!"

"Come on Tyrone! We have to find him." Said Number 8.

Dipper was hiding wondering what to do.

"Hey!" yelled Number 11 showing up.

"Gah!" yelled Dipper jumping.

"There's something I need to tell you." Sid Number 11, "Mom's right, being obsessive list makers are a bad idea!"

"What?" asked Dipper who realized Number 11 wasn't with the group.

"Trust me… she told me about that episode of My Little Pony… and showed me a picture it…" said Number 11 and shuddered, "Who would have thought an episode of My Little Pony would be so creepy."

"Seriously?" asked Dipper surprised,. "Thanks so you can be on my side!"

"What?" asked Number 11.

Dipper told them what happened, Number 11 looked impressed, "Nice!" he admitted.

"Okay… we need a plan…" said Dipper.

The two began to brain storm. They came up with a plan and a back up plan.

In the Hallway the clones looked for Dipper.

That was when they came across 11 holding Dipper captive.

"I have him! I have Dipper classic!" yelled Number 11.

"Good work Number 11" said Number 6.

"Wait!" said Tyrone, "Weren't you the one who talked with Mom?"

"Maybe…" said Number 11.

"Wait… there could be a chance he's taken Mom's side in all this." Said Number 9.

"Great…" said Dipper.

Number 11 let go of Dipper.

"It's been great work for you." Said Number 11.

"You too." Said Dipper.

Number 11 Charged at the other clones as a way to delay them.

Dipper took out a party popper and aimed it at the sprinkler on the celling, setting it off and killing nearly all of the clone.

Paper Jam Dipper yelled out that translated as "It's better for Paper Jam Dipper."

Dipper sighed…

However much like before the key word was "Nearly", turned out Tyrone was spared.

"Oh come on!" yelled Dipper.

Tyrone tackled him and Dipper tried to fight back.

Back in the party.

Mable was doing the worm.

"All right! One more song and then we'll bestow the party crown! And it's going to be.." said Soos he pressed a key on his key board which made a explosion sound, "Nailed it!"

Mabel looked at Pacifica.

"Pacifica, I just want to say who ever wins it's been one fun party!" said Mabel.

"No one's going to clap for you… even with your strange costume changes…" said Pacifica.

Dipper and Tyrone counties to fight.

Dipper magical pushed Tyrone into the wall.

"You're not going to win! I have a huge advance!" said Dipper.

That was when they heard Wendy laughing.

"Wendy?" they both asked.

That was when they saw Wendy was laughing with Robbie.

Both of them realized something.

"We blew it." Sighed both Dipper and Tyrone.

Both of them sat down in defeat.

"Hey you want to drink some soda or something?" asked Tyrone.

Meanwhile it was time for voting for the party crown.

"Applaud if you vote for Mabel." Said Soos.

There was a loud applause, Soos who acted like the meter went up.

"Now applauded if you want Pacifica?" asked Soos.

There was a small amount of applause. However Pacifica glared at them, which made them applaud loudly.

"It seems to be a tie." Sighed Soos.

That was when Pacifica saw Old Man McGucket and bribed him, pushing her to the top.

"Ladies and gentlemen… we have a winner." Sid Soos who sounded disappointed that Pacifica won, "Pacific Northwest."

"Thank you Jorge." Said Pacifica, "After party on my parents boat!"

The crowd chanted Pacifica as most of the crowd left carrying Pacifica.

Erza glared at the blonde girl as she left.

Very few reminded and two of them were Candy and Grenda.

"Sorry I let you down guys." Said Mabel, "I understand if you want to leave."

"But then we'll miss the sleep over." Said Candy.

"The what?" asked Mabel.

"We want to call our moms and see if can stay the night!" said Grenda, "You're a rock star!"

"Really you guys!" cried Mabel.

"We don't' have as many friends as Pacifica, but we have each other and that's good enoguh for me." Sid Candy.

"All right!" yelled Mabel, "Soos! Put on another song! This is going all night!"

"Already on it Hambone!" said Soos.

Erza watched the three dancing, smiling.

Up on the secret spot of the roof, Dipper and Tyrone had the drink.

"Do you think we'll have a chance, I mean she's 15 and we're 12." Said Dipper.

"I don't' know man." Said Tyrone, "But the only time one of us got a good conversation was when you talked to her like a normal person."

"Yeah…" sighed Dipper, "Mom and Mabel were right, but I do get it in my own way."

"Literally." Both of them said.

They both drank the soda and Tyrone began to melt.

"Oh boy don't' look now." Said Tyrone.

"Oh no!" said Dipper.

"It's all right, I had a good run." Said Tyrone, "Remember what we talked about."

"Of course." Said Dipper.

"Don't be such a wimp when talking to Wendy." Said Tyrone, "For my sake."

And with that Tyrone was gone .

"Tyrone! Number 11… both of you were the only ones to understand." Said Dipper.

He poured a little of the Soda for his homies then drank the rest.

He went down stairs and saw that the party was going on somewhat, with only Mabel, her new friends, Soos, Wendy, Erza and Stan (who was counting money) remaining.

Dipper ripped the list up and headed inside where Mabel went to introduce him to Candy and Grenda.

And so Dipper learned an important lesson about being obsessed with things…

It would later be drilled into his head further when his mother made him watch that episode of My Little Pony.

Dipper stared at the screen when it was over.

"Well…" said Erza.

"I learned all that stuff yesterday…" said Dipper, "Also why do you watch the show."

"Twilight reminds me of you and Pinkie Pie reminds me of your sister." Said Erza.

Dipper was going to say something but couldn't come up with a response… mostly because it made sense.

But still… he learned never to make lists again other he wouldn't have a good time with Wendy… so yeah…

Next Time: When Pacifica embarrasses Mabel at Pioneer Day, Dipper, Mabel and Erza all investigate the history of the town... could the Town Founder be a fraud? How the government involved? Find out next time!
