Chapter 11: Little Dipper

The Pines family were all watching Duck-tective one day when the doorbell rang.

"Show time!" said Stan adjusting his bowtie.

He went to the door and was putting on his Mr. Mystery persona.

"Stan Pines?" asked a person in a suit.

"Crap! It's the tax collector!" yelled Stan.

He used a smoke bomb and ran into the living.

"Where's the trap door! Erza tell me where the trap door is!" yelled Stan.

That was when the man in the suit came in.

"Mister Pines… you are the big winner of the Coupon House Winning Contest! You have won 10 million dollars!" said the man.

Turns out he was with a novelty check and cameraman.

All but Erza celebrated this win.

"Now all you have to do to become a millionaire is sign this piece of paper." Said the man.

"You bet!" said Stan.

Once he signed the piece of paper Gideon showed up jumping through the check.

"Ha! Stanford you fool! You signed the check to lil' ol me!" said Gideon.

"You might want to check again." Laughed Stan.

"What?" asked Gideon.

He read the thing that Stan signed.

"I herby sign over the Shack opt Suck a lemon little man!" yelled Gideon once he read it.

That was when he caused many things to float.

"Dipper!" said Erza.

"Right!" said Dipper.

Dipper started wrestling for control over the floating objects while Erza requiped a sword and pointed to the fake contest crew who all put their hands up.

"Where the hell did that sword come from!" yelled the fake cameraman.

It took a minute but Dipper managed to wrestle control from Gideon and put the stuff back down.

"You might have won this round Pines Family! But I'll be back!" yelled Gideon leaving his crew behind.

"Did he know about the sword thing?" asked the man in the suit.

"He did." Said Dipper.

"I'm never working for that brat again!" yelled the fake cameraman.

And awkward silence filled the air.

"Do you kids want to else what else is on?" asked Stan.

"Sure whatever…" said Dipper.

"You can leave." Said Erza knowing they were just hired hands.

The men fled for their lives, agreeing with the fake cameraman not to work with Gideon again.

Sometime later, Dipper and Mabel were playing chess.

Little guy, to black space nine!" said Mabel.

"That's not you color, that's a pawn and stop stealing the stealing the knight." Sighed Dipper.

Mabel had the knight piece in her pockets.

"But they like it in here." Said Mabel, "Don't you babies?"

She then neighed.

Dipper looked at the moves.

"Check mate." He said making his move and winning the game.

"What! No boo!" yelled Mabel.

Dipper took out a score note pad and found out he won 84 times before.

Meanwhile Soos was doing a little cleaning.

"Yo, Mabel, do you think you can me the brain in the jar, the lady one." Said Soos.

"I'll get it." Said Dipper.

"Sorry but Mabel's taller." Said Soos.

"What… she's not we're the same height." Said Dipper.

"No dude she's taller." Said Soos.

"Let's check." Said Dipper.

Soos took out a tape measure and measure the door.

"Yep! She's got exactly one millimeter on you." Said Soos.

"What…" said Dipper.

"Don't you don't see what's happening?" asked Mabel, "It's begging, I'm evolving into some kind of Alpha Twin!"

She began to chant "Alpha Twin! Alpha Twin!"

"It's only a millimeter… you're only taller than me in Canada." Said Dipper.

"You know Dipper! I've always wanted a little brother… who knows I already had one!" laughed Mabel.

That was when Stan entered the room.

"I was woken by the sound of mockery." Said Stan, "Show me the object of ridicule."

"I'm taller than Dipper!" said Mabel.

"By a millimeter!" yelled Dipper.

"Hey! Don't get short with your sister!" said Stan.

He and Mabel started laughing at the joke.

"Now Grunkle Stan! Don't think little of him!" laughed Mabel.

Soos sighed, "Don't you think you should lay off him a tiny but?" asked Soos.

"Tiny! Now Soos is getting in on it…" said Stan.

Dipper left the gift shop in a huff grumbling.

As he did he passed by Erza who heard the laughing.

Stan got a shudder before they could make a Short Term memory joke.

"Cripes, your mom's coming in." said Stan,

She entered the gift shop.

"Were you making fun of Dipper?" asked Erza.

"No… we weren't calling Dipper short… we were calling this one guy I know… Edward short…" said Stan with a fake smile.

Erza glared at him.

"You're no buying it, are you?" asked Stan.

"No…" said Erza.

"Hey look over there!" yelled Stan.

He tried to run out the door.

"Pants." Said Erza.

Stan noticed he wasn't wearing any clothes beyond his boxers and under shirt.

"You win this round Erza!" said Stan.

Meanwhile Dipper decided to look up anything to make him taller in the Journal.

"Legends of tiny buffalo and giant squirrels have led me to believe that there are size altering properties hidden deep within the forest." Read Dipper.

He went to the part of the forest where the strange animals appeared. He tripped and found himself in area felled with crystals.

As he was trying to get up he saw a tiny deer on chest. He got up and the tiny deer scampered away.

Then he noticed a tiny bald eagle.

The third tiny animal he spotted a cougar… however it was a normal sized cougar… it was about to attack him but when it jumped it jumped into a strange pink light that made it shrink.

Dipper noticed that the light came from a large crystal which the sunlight was hitting creating two lights, a pink one and a blue one. He watched as a butter fly went through the pink light becoming even smaller then flew the blue light become the butter version of Mothra.

Dipper decided to take one of the smaller crystals with him.

When he got back to shack he attached the crystal to a flashlight and used the test on the chess pieces.

Flipped over to the pink side and made it shrunk with the pink light.

Then he flipped to the blue side and grew it.

"Too big!" yelled Dripped at it big enoguh to make a hole in the roof.

Then he made himself an extra millimeter.

He went downstairs to show off to Mabel in the gift shop.

"So I told mom to buy me bigger clothes and she said no." sighed Mable.

"Hey guys! Notice anything?" asked Dipper.

"Holy hot sauce! You've grown an extra millimeter!" said Soos.

"No way! Check!" said Mable.

They once again checked and they were now the exact same height.

"What can I say, growth spurt." Said Dipper.

"Yeah, but mine came first, so I'm going to be taller in the end." Said Mabel, "It's silence Dipper."

"What but we're the same height now." Said Dipper.

Mabel began to chant Alpha twin again.

"You know what I feel another one coming along…" said Dipper.

Dipper ran up to the attic and used his makeshift size-changing ray again. This time he was much taller than before.

"Give it up Dipper!" said Mable, then she noticed how tall he was, "How is that possible?"

"You know puberty and stuff." Said Dipper.

Mabel's eyes widened.

"No way! You cheated!" yelled Mabel.

"Oh really how did I cheat?" asked Dipper.

"You taught yourself giant magic!" said Mabel, "Jokes on you…when you get old you're going to be tiny!"

"That's not what I did…" said Dipper, "Besides! If I did taught myself that kind of magic I would be celebrating because I finally had a magic."

Mabel blinked, "Good point..." said Mabel, "Or you're trying to act sly…"

"I didn't learn Giant Magic." Sighed Dipper.

"Tell me how you learned giant magic! Come on!" said Mabel.

Meanwhile down stairs, someone knocked on the door.

Stan opened and it was Gideon holding a wooden baseball bat.

"Oh howdy Stanford… hand over the deed to you property or I will smash this jar containing 1,000 cursed Egyptian termites and they will devour this house and you in it." Said Gideon.

Stan blinked, he had finally saw for himself just how powerful Gideon was.

On the other hand this plan was stupid…

"Hey what's that over there?" asked Stan.

Gideon looked ant Stan knocked over the jar causing the termite to teat the bat and went after Gideon.

Stan started laughing, "Hey Erza! Soos get out here and see this!" shouted Stan.

Back up stairs…

"Fine I'll tell you!" yelled Dipper.

He held up the flashlight.

"It's a magic flashlight I used opt make myself bigger!" said Dipper.

"What? No way! Let me see it!" said Mabel.

Dipper ran out of the room with Mabel following him.

Once they were outside, they psychically fought over the flashlight, causing a caterpillar to grow.

Also they made Mabel's hand bigger causing her to freak out.

"Here it can be changed back." Said Dipper.

He returned her hand back to normal.

After she chopped the flashlight out of his hands, the tow continued to fight, with turning their heads bigger or smaller they wren evidently back to normal.

While they were fighting Gideon was muttering things under breath about the Pines family.

Thank s to the fighting, the two let go of the flashlight and Gideon found it and picked it up.

"Maybe he didn't see us use and see it was a magic flashlight that can change size." Mabel said to Dipper.

It should be pointed out she said this while they were right now next to Gideon.

"Seriously!" yelled Dipper.

Before Dipper could do anything else to have another magic duel, Gideon quickly turned the light on them shrinking them.

He grabbed the jaw he still had on him and placed the two in there.

He carried it to his house.

While they were doing, Dipper tried to unscrew the lid, but it didn't work.

"My magic must have shrank with my body…" sighed Dipper.

"Great…" said Mabel.

Gideon brought them his room. He dumped the two of his desk.

"So I guess you have no access to any of your powers right now… right Dipper?" asked Gideon.

Dipper glared at Gideon.

"What are you going do to us?" asked Mabel.

"Oh Mabel, I have no plans on hurting you if you agree to be my queen." Said Gideon.

"We live in a democracy and never!" yelled Mabel.

"You'll change mind when you see this." Said Gideon, he picked up Mabel.

"Let go of me!" cried Mabel then she saw what he was doing, she saw candy was involved, "Oooh… Gum Koalas!"

He dropped her into the bag.

"Now as for you." Growled Gideon.

He shined a lamp into Dipper's face.

"Tell me, where did you hear about this magical item? Did some tell it to you? Did you READ it somewhere?" asked Gideon.

Dipper checked to see if the book was still in his pocket.

Then Dipper noticed a nearby Air horn.

"Lean in closer and I'll tell you." Said Dipper.

Gideon did so and he blew the air horn angering Gideon.

Thankfully he needed them alive so he didn't do anything.

Meanwhile at the Mystery Shack, Soos and Erza were helping Stan with his latest attention, a mirror maze.

"This is the best idea I ever stole form you Soos… I'm going to make a fortune!" said Stan.

"I don't know… I've seen much better…" said Erza.

"What in Earthland… please…" said Stan.

"No… Pier 39 in San Francisco." Said Erza, "In fact we went right before we moved here."

"But that's a big city mirror maze… I can't compete with that." Muttered Stan he shrugged, "Good thing it's in another state".

Stan looked at him self in the mirror and took off his fez.

"man have my ears always been this big?" asked Stan.

He heard the phone ringing.

"I'll get it." Said Stan.

He managed to leave the maze.

Soos nodded the fez, took off his own and put on the fez.

"Someday..." said Soos.

He noticed Erza.

"Oh sorry…" said Soos.

"It's fine, I don't want to inherit this place." Said Erza with a smile.

Soos nodded.

Meanwhile Stan picked up the phone.

"Stanford Pines, listen to me very closely. I have you niece and nephew. Give me the deed to the Mystery Shack or great harm will be fall them." Said Gideon on the other end, "This ids Gideon by the way…"

Stan laughed, "Oh yeah, this is yours plot yet… nice try but I saw them playing in the yard a few minutes ago…"

"It's true! I have them in my possession! I'll text you a photo!" yelled Gideon.

"Text a photo? Are you even speaking English?" asked Stan.

Remember Stan is an old man who's not up on technology, it's never a good idea to say "text you something" to that kind of man…

"But…" said Gideon.

Stan hung up the phone.

Back on the other end Gideon was throwing a fit, breaking his phone.

"Wait… I don't' need ransom… not when I have this." Laughed Gideon, "I'll shrink Stan and the Shack will be mine!"

He turned towards the twins.

"You're powerless to stop me and if you step out of line…" said Gideon.

He broke some doll heads off.

"Gideon! The ice cream truck is here!" they heard Bud call out.

"Come!" said Gideon happily, he placed his pet hamster next to them, "Guard them Cheekums!"

When he was gone, Dipper picked up a nearby Q-tip and poked Cheekums with it. The hamster did nothing.

"We got to get out of here and save Stan!" said Dippy.

"I know"! said Mabel as she put a gummy koala head in her pocket.

"Okay how are we going to handle it…" said Dipper, "I can't use my magic, Gideon's bigger and he has both magic and height…"

HE sighed.

"At least we're the same size now." Said Dipper .

"Actually…" said Mabel.

They found a nearby ruler, it turned out Mabel was taller.

"How did this happen!" yelled Dipper.

"Just one of life's mysteries!" said Mabel.

"Just one more reason to get the flashlight back." Sid Dipper.

Dipper was planning his idea for escape.

Mabel on the idea to ride Cheekums to freedom.

However…

"Oh… you're just a big old dummy dum!" said Mabel petting the hamster.

"I have an idea!" said Dipper looking at Gideon hairbrush.

They made a rope of his hair and slid down it, they eventually got to the livening room where they watched as Gideon asked his father to clean his and for a drive the mystery shack.

When his father said no, he began to tickle Gideon. Gideon couldn't stop himself from laughing.

This made him angry as he has a psychic fit and knocked over many things and Gideon decided to take the bus there.

They left though a nearby Doggie door out to the Car Lot that Bud had (he owned a used car lot that he ran through his house)

"We have to find a way to get higher." Said Dipper.

"Yeah, because you're so short!" said Mabel.

"Up there!" said Dipper pointing to a flying dollar balloon.

They managed to climb up and see that Gideon was waiting for the bus. However he managed to get on the bus going to the Shack.

"He's going to shrunk Stan!" said Dipper.

"If only we could fly this dollar sign to the mystery shack…" sighed Mabel.

"Maybe it can." Said Dipper.

He took out his Swiss army knife and cut the rope that held the balloon.

And so they started to steer the balloon toe the Mystery Shack.

"I hope we get there in time…" said dipper.

"If not… I'm sure Mom can stop him…" said Mabel.

"Unless she's doing a cake run…" said Dipper.

Meanwhile at the Mystery Shack.

Erza check the first.

"Oh right, we ate the last one last night…" said Erza.

She requiped a jacket and purse.

"Stan I'm going to the bakery!" called out Erza.

"Fine by me!" yelled Stan.

Indeed Erza would not be at the Shack during that time…

Things didn't look good.

Just a few minutes later they landed the balloon on the Totem Poll.

They just barley beat Gideon.

"How are we going to do get there." Said Dipper.

"I have an idea." Said Mabel.

She pointed to a wire and the two slid down it.

Gideon was about to make his way to the door.

Mabel looked at her gummy koala.

"I'm sorry my friend." Said Mabel.

She tossed the head into Gideon's hair.

"It was for the greater good." Said Dipper.

Gideon noticed the head and began to freak out.

"I can't defeat Stanford looking like this!" said Gideon.

He dropped the flashlight and went to fix his hair.

The two managed to climb down to the flashlight.

"All right, since you're the one who can fight him, you stand in front and I'll regrow you." Said Mabel.

"Equal height, right?" asked Dipper.

"Dipper, it doesn't matter right now." Said Mabel.

"If it doesn't matter then why won't you do it?" asked Dipper.

"Why are you acting so weird about this?" asked Mabel, "Why can you just accept I'm a little taller than you!"

"I'm acting weird! You're the one who keeps calling me names." Said Dipper.

"You mean like Little…" said Mabel.

"Don't' say it!" said Dipper.

"Little Dipper!" they heard Gideon say.

He managed to grab the two.

"I dare say you would have defeated me if it weren't for you sibling bickering!" mocked Gideon.

Gideon headed towards the door to the gift shop and kicked it down.

"The shack it mine now Stanford!" he yelled as he shrank the man in the fez.

Remember though… Stan took the fez off earlier. Soos was the one wearing the fez… indeed he shrank Soos.

"What?" asked Gideon.

"Oh… something's different than usual." Said Soos as he put on his usual hat.

Gideon grabbed Soos and put all three of the shrunken people in the jar.

"Now tell me where Stanford is!" yelled Gideon.

"No way! He down the hall on the second to the left…" said Soos, "Why did I say that?"

Gideon laughed as he put the three in his pocket.

The three of them sighed.

"I kind of Soosed it up, didn't I?" asked Soos.

"It's not your fault, I was the one who put together that shrunk ray." Said Dipper, "I guess it's because you've been teasing me all day… what's that about?"

Mabel took out the score note pad, it had the score of the various games they've played.

Dipper won all of them.

" I guess it's because you're better than me at everything! Chess, checkers Ping-Pong… you always make a big deal out of it! I felt I was finally winning at something." Said Mabel.

"That's not true." Said Dipper, "You're better at me at magic, you're the one who gets to use the cool spell and stuff… all I can do is move things."

"Yuhi but mom trust you with her swords… I don't know if she'll ever trust me with them." Sighed Mabel, "What's the point of knowing requip if I can't use it beyond my sweaters…"

Dipper sighed when she mentioned that.

"I feel like a big jerk…" he said.

"Don't you mean little jerk." Said Mabel.

The tow laughed that this one.

"We cool?" asked Dipper.

"We cool." Said Mabel.

"Am I cool?" asked Soos.

"Of course you are." Said Mabel.

Outside of the jaw Gideon looked for Stan, only to find the mirror maze. And the many reflections.

"Ah… Gideon… I was looking for someone to test my mirror maze on… first off, put on gloves!" said Stan.

Gideon looked to see a box of rubber gloves, "It's a rule Erza came up with… it' s you don't smudge the glass…"

And Erza stole it from the mirror maze she liked back in San Francisco.

This mirror maze a just filled with stolen ideas…

Gideon placed the flashlight in his pocket as he put on the gloves.

"I'll find you Stanford!" muttered Gideon.

"I'd like to see you try. Because you're an idiot!" Said Stan, "That's the need of this sentence."

Meanwhile in the jar, the three managed to get it open and climb out of the pocket.

"All right! Let's go get the flashlight." Said Dipper .

They climbed up Gideon's back to get to it.

Mabel however looked at Gideon's hair.

"It's so shiny!" she said in a trance.

"Don't look at it!" said Dipper.

Nearby Soos was laying around in the fold of Gideon's neck.

"I'm making fat angels!" said Soos.

"Eww… termite!" yelled Gideon brushing off Soos.

"Remember me dudes!" called out Soos.

However he was fine, he landed in the carpet and found an old chip he ate.

"THAT'S IT!" yelled Gideon who grew tired of it.

He magically lifted all of the mirror then smashed them to the ground.

"Oh right! He's magic!" said Stan.

He used his magic to grab Stan force his hands behind his back.

"Oh wait… it would be better if you kneeled." Said Gideon.

He forced Stan to kneel before him.

"Great… why did Erza have to go on a cake run now…" muttered Stan.

The twins saw this.

"Oh we have to stop him." Said Mable.

Dipper looked at Gideon's arm puts, remembering what they saw earlier.

"We have to go into his arm pits!" said Dipper.

"Ew… no…" said Mabel.

"It's the only way." Sighed Dipper dragging her along.

Stan struggled against Gideon's powers.

"Now Stan! Your business, your family, everything will finally be mine! You have no one protect you!" yelled Gideon.

That was when he started laughing... it was normal laughter either, it was like he didn't have control over it.

"You okay kid?" asked Stan.

That was when Gideon let go of Stan so Stan was now free.

"I think our rivalry is getting to you…" said Stan, "I mean you had me with your weird device and then this happened…"

Gideon continued to laugh.

"Maybe you should take a break… if this is what you do when you finally have me." Said Stan.

Gideon countered to laugh, Stan knocked him over and began to kick him out the door. During this time, he dropped the flashlight.

The twins also jumped off, before he was out of the Shack.

Gideon stopped laughing as they stopped tickling.

"Oh no! My light!" said Gideon as he regained composure.

"Okay…" said Stan slamming the door on him.

Inside the twins found the light.

"You first." Said Dipper.

"Oh no, I insist." Said Mabel.

However Dipper grew he first, then Mable returned him to normal size.

The two measured up.

"Hey you let keep the extra millimeter." Said Mabel.

"You earned it." Said Dipper.

"Thank you little brother." Said Mabel.

"Stop it." muttered Dipper.

"I guess we should break so it so it won't fall into the wrong hands and junk…" said Mabel.

"Seems like the smart thing to do…" said Dipper.

He let Mabel smash it.

"Die! Die!" she yelled as she smashed the crystal.

"I'm back." Said Erza with a couple bags of cake and she noticed the sate of the mirror maze.

"What happened?" asked Erza.

"It's a long story." Said Dipper.

"Well I brought home cake!" said Erza.

That was hewn all three of them noticed the tiny Soos who wrote down "Help Soos" in mirror shards.

"I was wondering when you see me." Said Soos.

Mabel looked at the crystal.

"glue!" said Mabel.

"Lots of glue." Said Dipper.

Erza sighed wondering what she missed.

However at Gideon's house, he made it home.

He was muttering things under his breath.

"Oh cone now Gideon, I'm sure you'll get your revenge one of these days." Said Bud.

"It's isn't about revenge… at least not any more…" said Gideon, "I want the building, it hold a secret that you couldn't possibly imagine."

He managed to laugh evilly.

"Would you like some ice cream?" asked Bud.

"Did you pick out the nuts." Said Gideon.

Bub nodded and he began to feed his son ice cream.

And so Gideon now wanted the Mystery Shack for a very different reason… and it wasn't just about revenge any more…

Because he figured that the shack had something to do with Journals… whether the people who lived in it knew it or not…

Next Time: When Mabel has that out of body experience she was told something would happen in the next 45 days... well it happens way before the deadline... what did she find out and does it have to do with that idiot who sets the forest on fire in the alternate future? Find out next time!

A/N: The maze mentioned in the chapter is real… I live in San Francisco, which as you may or may not know Piedmont is a suburb (well more like a Suburb of Oakland but still in the Bay Area). I can totally see it being canon of the Pines Twins going to Pier 39 every once in a while…
