A/N: This chapter took a but longer than usual to write, not because of depression or anything like that... bit because it's a musical! That's right! This chapter is a musical! I'm not kidding. I blame the fact that there was never a music episode of Gravity Falls (you'd think there would be one, but nope!). Also it's based on a Noodle Incident from Mabel's Scrapbook...

Also this is the chapter takes the place of Little Gift Shop of Horrors, as much as I love that episode it's completely non-Canon... So yeah... anyways enjoy! And I'll get into the songs afterwards...

Chapter 44: Snow Lizards

In the mystery shack the twins start to shiver as they woke up.

"Why is it so cold!" muttered Dipper.

Mabel got up and looked outside, her eyes began to sparkle.

"No way!" yelled Mabel.

She requiped a coat put on some shoes and ran outside.

Dipper rubbed his eyes and followed her outside.

He stared at the site, the entire area was covered in snow!

The Erza, Stan and Jellal joined Dipper and stared in shock at the snow.

Of course Mabel and Waddles were just playing in the snow.

"It's July…" said Dipper.

"It is…" said Stan.

"How did it snow?" asked Dipper.

"Gray?" asked Stan.

"Gray wouldn't do something like this." Pointed out Erza.

"Besides, it's too wide spread to be something he did." Said Jellal.

As Mabel played in the snow she saw something in the forest, she took out her camera and took a picture of it, before it scurried away. That was when she saw it was a lizard with weird glowing marks and had some tuxedo attire.

"That's weird." Said Mabel.

She shrugged and began to play in the snow again, unaware what she was the thing that caused it all…

Sometime later, Wendy, Laxus and Soos were clearing away the snow.

"Seriously! Did he have to make us do this today!" yelled Wendy.

"We have no choice." Said Laxus.

"Besides I already checked, Natsu and Gray are swamped today." Said Erza.

Meanwhile at someone house Natsu just finished clearing away the driveway. Which was an easy job... just melting the snowed with his fire.

"Thanks Natsu!" said the guy who owned the house and paid him.

"No problem." Said Natsu.

Across the street was a different story, Gray was shoveling a walkway without magic.

Inside the man of the house was going over finances.

"Are you sure we shouldn't we just hire some kid to do that job instead of a wizard…" said the man.

The woman of the house was just sipping hot cocoa and watching Gray work with a smile on her face.

Of course this being Gray he was just wearing his underwear.

"He's doing a very good job…" said the woman still watching Gray, "We got what we paid for…"

Back at the Mystery Shack.

"So has it ever snowed in July?" asked Laxus.

"Not to my memory." Said Soos.

"Nope." Answered Wendy.

"Not that I heard about." Said Erza, "I'm sure we'll figure it out soon."

"What do you mean?" asked Soos.

"Once the novelty wears off, I'm sure that the town will hire the guild to figure why it snowed." Said Erza.

"Unless it's not the day after tomorrow… dude! What if that super cold comes here!" said Soos.

"Don't worry… I'm sure it's not the day after tomorrow." Said Laxus.

"Besides I checked the news, the snow is just in and around Gravity Falls." Said Erza.

"Hey! Erza I need your help in here!" yelled Stan.

"Okay…" sighed Erza.

She left then the twins showed up, with Dipper really bundled up.

"What's with Dipper?" asked Laxus.

"We're not used to the cold." Said Dipper.

"That's right." Said Mabel, "It never snowed back home."

She requiped her scrap book… and then began to sing.

"Although people call it sunny California we grew up in a foggy haze. It rarely got that hot and never cold enoguh for snow." Sang Mabel.

They all looked at each other and Dipper shrugged.

"It never snowed back home, at worse it was sweater weather or rain, but never snow… it never snowed back home." Sang Mabel.

The four decided to let Mabel get this out of her system.

"The closest thing we had to snow was this one time mom drove us up to the mountains… but it only tiny patches and almost nothing. We couldn't even make snow angels." Sang Mabel.

Dipper nodded confirming that story.

"It never snowed back home, at worse it was sweater weather or rain, but never snow… it never snowed back home" sang Mabel.

They relied it was the chorus so they didn't' say anything.

"We had a white Christmas once. But that's only because mom and dad took us to Tahoe. It was the first time we had real and we play all day until we went sledding and Dipper…" sang Mabel.

:"Stop!" yelled Dipper.

"What?" asked Mabel.

"We vowed never to speak that again… remember." Said Dipper.

"Oh yeah." Said Mabel.

Then Mabel started up the song again.

"It never snowed back home, at worse it was sweater weather or rain, but never snow… it never snowed back home. We're not used to snow at all, which why we have no chores, we're not used to about that… because it never snowed back…" sang Mabel as she finished the song.

They all stared at Mabel.

"Dude… why did you sing that?" asked Wendy.

Mabel just shrugged.

"It just felt right." Answered Mabel.

"Makes sense." Said Soos understanding her logic.

Dipper noticed the new picture she put in her scrapbook of the lizard that she captured in a picture.

"When did you take that?" asked Dipper.

"This morning." Said Mabel.

"I've never seen that thing around." Said Dipper;

"You think it might be connected?" asked Mabel.

"But it's a lizard, it might not have anything to with anything." Said Soos.

"I guess we should investigate it." Said Dipper.

"I don't hear any shivering!" yelled Stan.

Both Wendy and Laxus groaned.

And so Dipper and Mabel went into town to see if anyone saw the lizard.

"You think we might get any answers?" asked Mabel.

"We have to see." Said Dipper.

As they looked around they heard laughter.

They turned to see that strange lizard standing on top of a building.

"Greetings people of this town! I am your new ruler!" said the strange lizard.

Everyone looked at the strange lizard.

"As you noticed that the entire town has entered a winter, that is my doing, for my species thrives in the cold." Said the lizard.

The town all stared at the lizard.

"You seriously think we'll just listen to you?" asked Gajeel.

The town began to cheer on Gajeel.

"Yes…" answered the lizard, "What do you wish to fight me?"

"You're new the town aren't you?" asked Gajeel.

Gajeel jumped to the roof and turned his arm into a club and was going to attack the lizard with it. However his club disappeared right when it was about to hit the lizard.

And that was when missing part of the club reappeared and smacked Gajeel in the back sending him falling to the ground.

"Pathetic." Said the lizard.

That was when Panther Lily in his large form tried to attack the lizard.

That was when suddenly Panther Lily gnashed and reappeared elsewhere away from the fight.

"Now are you done trying to fight me?" asked the lizard.

"What are you?" asked Panther Lily.

"I am a Space Lizard." Said the lizard.

"So you're from space?" asked a random town's person.

"Are you a raciest?" asked the space lizard.

"What?" asked the town's person.

"Just because I am called a Space Lizard does not mean that I am from outer space." Said the Space Lizard, "So you must be a raciest for thinking other wise."

Nearby people looked at the town's person.

"I'm not racist." He said.

"IF you're not from Space why are you called a space lizard?" asked Mabel.

"It's quite simple!" said the space lizard who began to perform an old school rap.

"To the left!" he said somehow teleporting to her left, "To the right!"

Mabel was teleported to her right.

"Now look at that! It's out of site!" sand the Space Lizard who motioned a light pole to disappear.

The town watched in horror.

"We Space Lizards control space! We can bend it and mend it and do whatever. Bring it in, take it out, it ours to what we wish… We might have scales we ain't no fish!"

The town's people began to get confused. Not because of the lizard itself, but rather what it was doing.

"To the left! To the right! Now look at that! It's out of site!" rapped the Space Lizard messing with some buildings.

The twins noticed Gajeel still on the ground and helped him up with the held of Panther Lily.

"We Space Lizard enjoy to chill! And I mean quite literally! This whole Global Warming thing is ruing our style! So I came up with plan! Find a place no one knows about and take it for myself! To chill and ill! And what I want!"

The towns people exchanged looks, mainly because that verse, wasn't that good and barley had any rhymes.

"But I'm a sporting Lizard! I'll give your freedom! If you place a game! Beat me and you'll be free! Lose and you won't be! You'll just have to enjoy this from now on" rapped the lizard.

The lizard began to mess with the town again.

"To the left! To the right! Now look at that! It's out of site!" taunted the lizard a he messed with the town again as he seemed to end his song, "Now this towns is mine now! And you don't you forget, and so how make that bet!"

The towns' people just stared at him in shock.

"Now nay questions?" asked the Space Lizard.

"Why did you have to explain it rap?" asked Dipper.

"Just because I'm a gentleman doesn't mean I don't like to kick it old school." Said the space lizard as he adjusted his tie (and for some reason record scratched played).

"Your rapping sucked!" yelled Robbie.

The Space Lizard cased some snow to fall on him.

"So tell me, who will take my bet and play the game with me?" asked the Space Lizard.

The towns people exchanged looks.

"I will!" yelled Mabel.

"Mabel"! said dipper.

"Very well! And the game will be a Dog Sled race! It's a sport my kind enjoy!" said the Space Lizard, "You have three day to prepare! And don't think of skipping town, I have created a dome around this town that will prevent anyone form leaving!"

With that the Space Lizard disappeared.

"All right! So I'm going to go against him a dog sled race!" said Mabel.

"Mabel!" yelled Dipper, "You nothing about Dog Sled races! You've never been on a sled…"

"Yes I have…" said Mabel, "Wait… never mind… never speak of it again…"

Gajeel and Panther Lily looked at each other.

Then Panther Lily.

"I'm contacting Makarov." Said Panther Lily.

"Hey! Wait…" said Mabel.

"Mabel this is something we need to talk about with the Guild." Said Dipper.

Gajeel was muttering thing under his breath.

"You lost to a lizard." Laughed Mabel.

"Shut up!" yelled Gajeel.

"A lizard that's terrible at rapping…" laughed Mabel.

"I said shut up!" yelled Gajeel.

Of course the meeting that cored was a jointed meeting with the Mystery Shack.

"So now you're going up again him a dog sled race?" asked Stan.

"Well he didn't' say it was a dog sled race when he made the challenge." Said Mabel.

"Oh yeah, it doesn't snow in California." Said Natsu, "At least that's what I heard."

"It's a stereotype." Said Erza.

"You know there's mountains in California." Pointed out Mabel.

"We're getting side tracked." Said Dipper.

"do you think you can handle it?" asked Makarov, "And be honest."

"I think she can handle it." Said Wendy.

"Really?" asked Erza.

"I've done a lot if dog sledding before." Said Wendy. "I can teach her."

"I think I should help.," said Gray.

"Since ice is your thing." Laughed Mabel.

"Have you been out all day ion your underwear?" asked Dipper.

"Hey! I'm an ice wizard, we don't get cold." Said Gray, "And I'm pretty sure the person stole my clothes when I did my first job."

"Why?" asked Dipper.

"I don't know…" said Gray, "Plus I was hired by a lot of house wives and middle aged woman today…"

"What!" yelled Juvia.

"I didn't need to know that." Said Dipper.

"The entire guild didn't need to know that." Said Makarov.

"IS someone going to calm down Juvia?" asked Cana.

"I'll do it." Volunteered Lisanna.

"Why those women…" muttered Juvia.

"They just want to watch, that's all." Assured Lisanna.

"So…" said dipper, "Do you think you can get a dog sled team easily?"

"Oh yeah, I know a few people." Said Wendy, "I can get you one by the end of the day."

"All right! I have three days to prepare." Said Mabel.

"Wait… I'm going to help you." Sid dipper.

"Really?" asked Mabel.

"You can't do this alone." Said Dipper.

"You're the one who hating this cold more than me." Pointed out Mabel.

"I know." Said Dipper.

"Either way let's do this thing!" yelled Mabel.

"So a dog sled race against a space lizard…" said Carla.

"Is something wrong?" asked Marvelous.

"I'm just wondering if I should start making a list of strange sentences I've said since we've arrived in Gravity Falls." Sighed Carla.

"You know…" said Marvelous, "Actually kind of sounds like it would be fun."

"Later that night, Wendy managed to get Mabel and Dipper a team.

"They're the best I can do." Said Wendy.

"Oh their so cute and fluffy!" said Mabel who began to cuddle with them.

"Mabel's now's not the time.." said Dipper.

But it was too late, Mabel was already scratching one of their stomachs and it was doing the leg thing.

"Should she be doing this?" asked Dipper.

"It should be fine…" said Wendy, "Just give her a few minutes."

Mabel took a picture with her and her new dog companions and put that in the scrapbook.

"All right! Let's Save Christmas!" cheered Mabel then she realized what she said, "The town… the town…"

And with that Mabel and Dipper began their dog sled training.

They began to get introductions on how to control the dogs.

"Each day we learn a little more." Sang Mabel.

Mabel and Dipper try to control the dog sled and nearly crash into a tree.

"But it's not going to be easy." Sang Mabel.

They continued to get the hang of it.

"But we will be the best! We will win!" sang Mabel.

Gray began to get Dipper to wear less clothes in the cold, Erza watched making sure it wasn't all of them.

"We're not used to the snow." Sang Mabel.

Dipper shivered but was getting used to it.

"Sure it got cold, but it wasn't freezing." Sang Mabel.

Dipper looked at Gray an pointed out he was in his underwear again, naturally he started to freak out.

"But will be the best! We will win!" sang Mabel.

Mabel and Dipper were trying out the dog sled race. A lot of people were watching them.

"Everyone is counting on us." Sang Mabel.

Lazy Susan gave them some pie while they took a break.

"What that lizard is doing is really bad." Sang Mabel.

Mabel and Dipper watched as someone tried to leave the town but then suddenly disappeared. On the other side of town the person reappeared.

"Even if you fly up to the top, you just reappear on the ground… which I have to admit is pretty cool." Sang Mabel.

Mabel and Happy watch as Happy flew up to the sky, and soon enoguh he reappeared magical from the ground. Happy was Laughing as was Mabel while Dipper was just concerned.

"But we will be the best! We will win!" sang Mabel.

Wendy was timing the dog sled, and gave the thumbs up.

"No matter what happens we won't give up." Sang Mabel.

Dipper was wearing a thinner coat than he was before, Gray nodded to him.

"No matter what happens we won't give in!" sang Mabel.

Mabel and Dipper got the best time for the dog sled racing

"But we will be the best! We will win!" sang Mabel.

Right after this, Dipper, Wendy and Gray talked.

"Was it just me or did Mabel kept singing bits and pieces of a song?" asked Gray.

"I wasn't going to say anything, but yeah, that was pretty weird, even for Mabel." Said Wendy.

"She was probably thinking about the montage she was having." Said Dipper.

"Wait are you talking about?" asked Mabel.

"Nothing…" said all three.

"So do you have an idea about the race?" asked Wendy.

"He's the bad guy so I figured that he would just suddenly show and give the rules." Said Mabel.

"And indeed I have." Said the Space Lizard suddenly appearing, "I've been watching you two… and I don't mind if you're brother joins in, it doesn't mater in the end."

"You're going to eat those words." Said Wendy.

"Yes, quite." Laughed the Space Lizard, "By the way… about your male companion… is he aware he's only in his underwear?"

"Not again!" groaned Gray.

"Let us get ready for the race then!" said the Space Lizard.

"so where are we going to meet?" asked Mabel.

"And what's the course?" asked Dipper.

The Space Lizard sighed.

"That will be explained when the race begins." Said the Space Lizard.

Sometime later at what would be the starting line of race the two dog sled teams waited.

"All right!" called out Lucy who was once again MCing the event, this time with Mirajane helping as well,. "This race will take us through the Gravity Falls Forest!"

"The first one go through the entire race will this trophy that someone mange dot make in a few days." Said Mirajane.

A person the crowd shrugged.

"What… they deserve a trophy." Said the person who made it.

The crowd watching was nervous.

"All right! Let's begin the race!" said Mirajane.

"On your mark! Get set!" began Lucy.

That was when suddenly a bunch of cages decided from, the sky. And trapped the entire town them the cages, including the racers.

That was when they all heard laughter.

Everyone turned to where the laughter came form, it was a giant slug.

"I have been watching and waiting and seeing everyday! Waiting for my chance to strike!" sang the slug.

"Again with the singing." Muttered Dipper.

"For years I've this town for my own! And now today the day!" sang the slug.

The slug lifted the cage containing Dipper and Mabel.

"Blam! Today's the day! Blam! And now you're mine! The slug has won all through and Blam the day mine!"

The town was even more confused by the slug than the Space Lizard.

"For years I watched this, destroy itself. Watching as certain things happen. Wafting for the day of the triangle or waiting for the day they finally desorbed their minds! But no… I didn't too wait that long." Sang the slug.

What the slug didn't notice was Gildarts knocking on the bars of the cage he was in.

"Blam! Today's the day! Blam! And now you're mine! The slug has won all through and Blam the day mine!" sang the slug.

The slug went over to the space lizard and began to poke its cage.

"Thanks you to you… oh yes… I was able to enact my plans, you seprated this town form the rest world! And thanks to you I won!" sang the slug.

The slug threw down the cage that held the lizard.

"Blam! Today's the day! Blam! And now you're mine! The slug has won all through and Blam the day mine!" sang the slug.

The slug didn't notice that one of its cages was destroyed.

"The reign of the slug has come to Gravity Falls! And no one saw it coming! It's all mine and mine and mine alone! Neon of saw you and with a balm the day is mine… and with a blame every is now MINE!" sang the slug.

The slug began to laugh evilly.

"Hey!" called out Gildarts.

The slug turned around and suddenly Gildarts sent out a strange spell at the slug causing it to explode.

Gildarts busted out Dipper and Mabel first.

The Space Lizard erased the cage so he was free as well.

"That was quite annoying." Said the Space Lizard adjusting his tie.

"So… you didn't kill the giant slug?" asked Mabel.

That was when it began to rain smaller version.

"Holy Crap! What just happened!" yelled one of the slugs.

"I don't know!" yelled another.

"I'm so tiny now!" cried yet another.

"Is anyone kind of reminded of that episode of Futurama with Slurm?" asked yet another one of them.

"Kind of…" agreed another.

"Hey! I need help cleaning up." Said Gildarts.

And so the guild and the Space Lizard teamed up for the time being so they could clean up the mess left by the Giant Slug.

"Is everyone in agreement that the thing with the slug never happened?" asked Blubs.

"Yes!" said just about everyone in the town.

"So should we do something?" the man who married a woodpecker to Bud.

"Eh, I think we can engage a loophole this time." Answered Bud.

Lucy once again began to get the race start.

"So… On your marks! Get Set! GO!" called out Lucy.

And so the race began.

They were neck and neck until the Space Lizard pull ahead by altering space.

"Hey he's cheating!" yelled Mabel.

"I never said I wouldn't cheat!" said the Space Lizard.

"Why that…" said Mabel.

Dipper was about use his magic, but Mabel stopped him.

"We're not going to stoop to his level." Said Mabel.

"But…" said Dipper.

"No buts." Said Mabel, "Butts are for sitting."

"Seriously Mabel…" said Dipper.

"We can do this." Said Mabel.

"Please don't tell me you're going…" said Dipper.

"This isn't the way to beat him." sang Mabel.

"Of course…" sighed Dipper.

"We have to beat him, but that's the not way to do it…. We can beat him what we learned." Sang Mabel.

"They found a log and used it as a ramp putting them very close to the Space Lizard.

"You think you can beat me? All I've seen and all I've done! I won't lose to a little girl like you!" sang the Space Lizard.

Dipper sighed, the fact that the Space Lizard was joining in the singing was the least weird thing about this.

"You think you got a chance, but you don't… I can control space! You might have magic but it's not enough!" sang the Space Lizard.

The Space Lizard caused a tree to appear in their path.

However Dipper was able to control the dogs to get out of the way.

"Whatever you throw at us! We can over come! You can't beat us!" sang Mabel.

"I'd like to see you try." Sang the Space Lizard.

"No matter what you won't beat me! I'll be the one to win! You think you can win with/without tricks." Sang both Mabel and the Space Lizard.

Mabel and Dipper managed to get right next to him.

"You have to just give up! This town is now mine!" sang the Space Lizard.

"I won't give up! No matter what I won't! I won't break! Because that's who I am!" sang Mabel.

"Just give in already!" sang the Space Lizard.

"No matter what you won't beat me! I'll be the one to win! You think you can win with/without tricks." Sang both Mabel and the Space Lizard.

The Space Lizard sent them back several feet.

"Everyone is counting us to stop you! You won't keep this town trapped in an eternal winter!" sang Mabel.

"Please you're nothing but a child!" sang the Space Lizard.

"I've seen so much! I've gone toe to toe with Child Psychics, Gnomes and all sorts of monsters! This is nothing compared to that!" sang Mabel.

"They're nothing compared to me." Sang the Space Lizard.

"No matter what you won't beat me! I'll be the one to win! You think you can win with/without tricks." Sang both Mabel and the Space Lizard.

That was when Dipper pointed at a low hanging log. The twins managed to duck, but the Space Lizard tried to get rid of it, but found he couldn't do it.

It knocked him off the sled.

Both Mable and Dipper looked at each other, confused at how that happened.

However he reappeared on the sled, but seemed to be breathing heavily.

"I'm almost at my limits…" sang the Space Lizard.

"What did you just sing?" asked Mabel (still in song).

"No matter what happens I'll still win!" sang the Space Lizard.

"I can hear you're signing!" sang Mabel.

"I won't lose… not again…" sand the Space Lizard.

Dipper and Mabel exchanged looks.

"No matter what you won't beat me! I'll be the one to win! You think you can win with/without tricks." Sang both Mabel and the Space Lizard.

"Everyone's counting on me!" sang Mabel.

"I refuse to lose again!" sang the Space Lizard.

They saw the finish line not to far away.

The Space Lizard Smirked evilly.

"No matter what you won't beat me! I'll be the one to win! You think you can win with/without tricks." Sang both Mabel and the Space Lizard.

The Space Lizard tired to teleport to the finish line, but it didn't work, he just cringed.

Mabel and Dipper managed to pull ahead and crossed the finish line first.

The Space Lizard ended up crashing.

The crowd started to cheer when they did! Lucy gave Mabel the trophy, while the Space Lizard laid in the snow angry.

"You have to hold you're end of the bargain." Said Mabel.

"I plan to…" said the Space Lizard getting up and adjusting his hat.

"From our little duet I realized, you've tried to do this before didn't' you?" asked Mabel.

The Space Lizard didn't answer.

"So… do you have any problems you want to talk about?" asked Mabel.

"No…" answered the Space Lizard, "Even if this is the 7th time I've tried this… I just have to find another Podunk town. Good day! I'm not going bring the snow with me."

With that the Space Lizard vanished.

"Did he just say this was the 7th time he tried this?" asked Dipper.

"Eh, doesn't mater…" said Mabel.

"But it sounds like he's going to do to another town." Said Dipper.

"It's fine." Said Mabel with a shrug.

That was when the town began to cheer.

"You know… I realized something…" said Mabel.

"She's going to sing again." Sighed Dipper.

"It never snowed back home, at worse it was sweater weather or rain, but never snow… it never snowed back home."

"Yes!" cheered Soos, "A reprisal."

"But I have to remember, this is my home now! And it snows every winter!" sang Mabel, "No more sweater weather and rain in the winter, it snows at home!"

The town applauded…

"Are you going to keep doing musical numbers? "asked Dipper.

"I think I'm all sung out." Answered Mabel.

"Good…" said Dipper.

"At least for now." Said Mabel.

"So…" said Natsu, "What should we do with the snow?"

"Leave!" yelled Mabel.

"Yay! A few more days of snow!" cheered Durland.

The rest of the own cheered. After all it wasn't every day the town was covered in snow in the middle of summer.

And so Mabel and Dipper beat the Space Lizard in a Dog Sled Race… Yeah, this was one of the weirder events… Then again it was Gravity Falls… there would probably be something happen weirder soon enoguh…

Then again a rapping lizard would be hard to top.

Next Time: Dipper thinks that Old Man McGucket might be the author of the journals. However when he goes into investigates he learns that McGucket can't remember anything. Is there a secret going on? Something to make sure no remembers the secrets of the town? Find out next time!

A/N: All about the songs

Song 1: This is true about the Bay Area (which I'm a resident of) it doesn't snow here... there's not much to say about that...

Song 2: At first it was just a generic villain's song, but then an old school rap number hit me and I thought it was so ridiculous that I couldn't' help myself

Song 3: It's a montage song, just that...

Song 4: I wanted a more traditional villain song after changed the second song to a rap. Then it also hit me. Blam... It's acronym for something... what? I won't say, but a cookie to the first person who get it right!

Song 5: Actually this is the only song that was inspired from something else, while it's not a true clone, it was partially inspired by The Light of You Cutie Mark from FiM... It just felt right... also it's my favorite song from that episode.

And of course, I'm not good at song writing... so yeah... hope you enjoyed it...
