Chapter 66: Building Bridges

It was the morning after Bill's defeat.

Somehow no one knew how, but time stood still outside of Gravity Falls during the events of Weirdmageddeon. No one was sure why, but they didn't care, they had an extra week to do whatever! Although much of the town thought it would be a good idea to help out the Pines since they were the heroes of the town in this case.

But there were a few other things to worry about.

At what remained of the mystery shack, Erza and Ford were having a conversation outside of the bathroom.

"You see due to the fact that I lacked both a high school diploma and a GED, I was often miserable…" said Erza her stomach rumbled, "Excuse me for a minute…"

She went into the bathroom to empty her stomach thanks to morning sickness.

She once was done she left the bathroom like nothing happened.

"I don't want Dipper to be the same way, sure he will have a job with the Guild, but I don't want that to be his only option." Said Erza.

Ford blinked, he did understand her point and the more he thought about it actually agreed with it.

However the reason why he was staring at because he weirded out by the fact that she just had a bout of morning sickness and pretended like she didn't.

"Sorry… got sidetracked." Said Ford, "I compete understand."

"Thank you. "said Erza.

"Wait didn't you have a driver's license." Said Ford, "I heard something about it getting pulled…"

"Stan managed to make sure I get one as a favor, I didn't want to cross another line with getting a GED." Sighed Erza.

"I see…" said Ford, "So are you alright?"

"You mean about the regency…" said Erza, "I think so, it's still very early… and Bill… Bill made sure I was healthy enoguh when he stole everyone's magic. "

"Why?" asked Ford becoming concerned.

"It's over and done with… don't worry about." Said Erza.

"Morning Erza, Ford…" said Stan walking passed them.

He knew it was going to be a busy day so he decided to get dressed instead of wearing his boxers shorts and wife beaters… however he lacked pants.

"Stan… where are your pants…" said Erza.

"Pants… what are pants…" said Stan.

Both of them just stared at Stan in disbelief.

"You're… you're not buying it, are you?" asked Stan.

"Don't' don't joke about you satiation Stanley." Said Ford.

"Especially since you remembered what pants are when you didn't have any memories." Sighed Erza.

"Fine! I'll go put on my pants." Muttered Stan.

As Stan walked towards his room he forgot about a little table and walked into it.

"Son of!" he yelled out.

He glared at the table, which suddenly slammed itself into the wall.

Stan was shocked.

"Is everything okay?" asked Erza walking towards him.

"Erza… I know everything's still fuzzy." Said Stan, "But remind me… did I ever have the power to break things with my mind?"

Erza paled when he said that.

Meanwhile at the Guild Hall just about everyone was eating breakfast. They had the national news on due to the fact that the local news would be about the aftermath of Weirdmageddeon.

"In the past several hours strange events have been going on all over the country." Said a female anchor.

"Footage of a purse snatcher late last night in New York suddenly being pulled away by an invisible force has started gaining interest online." Said the male anchor.

They watched as the purse-snatcher was pulled by an invisible force.

"Also in Akron, Ohio, while a teenager who wasn't paying attention to the cars in the road nearly got hit but the car mysteriously flipped over, thankfully the driver wasn't hurt." Said the female anchor.

It cut to the teenaged girl.

"It was so cray-cray! It was like I did it with my mind! I don't know how it happened." Said the teenaged girl.

"Other similar incidents have been reported in other countries as well… and no one knew if they are connected or not." Said the male anchor.

"That's so strange." Said Mirajane.

"Do you think it has something to with Weirdmageddeon?" asked Cana.

"It's possible…" sighed Loke who decided to have his contract remain Suspended to help in re-building the Mystery Shack.

"I wonder…" said Hibiki.

"What is it?" asked Eve.

"What happened to the magic that Bill stole from us?" asked Hibiki.

"Bill put it into his body." Answered Gray.

"I see." Said Hibiki.

On TV the news was still going however… but the stories had changed.

"In other news…" said the female anchor, "With the Republican National Convention just days away, the recently discovered 8 ½ president has announced his support for a candidate."

The newscast cut to Quinton Trembley at a podium.

"While Barrack Obama is a good man and Mitt Romney is very wealthy and both would make for a good president however… I have decided to put all my support behind…" said Quinton who pulled out a cat, "This tabby cat!"

They all stared at the Television Screen.

"Isn't that the real founder of Gravity Falls?" asked Natsu.

"Yeah… it is…" sighed Levy.

Meanwhile at the Mayor's office, Gideon sat in front of both Tyler and Makarov.

"now see here Gideon, while you did help out in defeating Bill, you have been granted early realize." Said Tyler, "However due to the fact that you also helped Bill before then you will still have to be punished."

"I completely understand… but why is Makarov here?" asked Gideon.

"Because your punishment will be serving the Guild." Said Makarov, "You will be a member. You will be taken under one of our member's wing."

"After a year or so you will be given the option to leave." Said Tyler, "But it will be up to you by the point. "

"I completely understand." Sighed Gideon, "Let me guess though the member who's going to be teaching me is Natsu."

"Actually Natsu is mentoring Grenda." Said Makarov, "I had someone else in mind for you."

"So isn't it Pig Boy." Said Gajeel.

"Gajeel much like you was the enemy of the Guild, he had done a lot to the Guild much like you have and I gave him a second chance. That is why I think he'll be the perfect mentor to you." Said Makarov.

Gajeel gave him a grin, one that was scared Gideon.

"Eeep…" was all Gideon could say.

Meanwhile at the Mystery Shack, Dipper looked though the fridge.

"Anything to eat?" asked Mabel entering the room.

Before Dipper could answer Soos ran into the holding something behind his backs.

"Dudes! You won't believe what I found in the woods!" said Soos.

"Buried treasure?" asked Mabel.

"What?" asked Dipper.

"I think you mentioned that Bill destroyed the journals right?" asked Soos.

"Yeah…" sighed Dipper then he realized, "No way!"

"Yes way!" said Soos removing them from behind his back.

He handed them to Dipper who looked through them.

"They're in better condition than when Bill destroyed them." Said Dipper looking through the pages.

Mabel had grabbed number 2 and the found the page on the possession spell which they knew Gideon ripped out "You got that right…"said Mabel, "And they smell less Millipedey…"

Dipper was reading some of the pages that were torn out and weren't there when he first found it.

"This is incredible." Said Dipper.

"You better tell Grunkle Ford." Said Mabel.

"Yeah, yeah." Said Dipper.

In another room.

Erza took a breath and tried sensing it around Stan.

"This should be impossible." Said Erza.

"Wait you're saying I have magic now?" asked Stan.

Erza nodded.

"How is that even possible?" asked Ford.

"I don't know…" said Erza, "I would have said it was from Bill but… He's not the only one I'm sensing."

"What you talking about?" asked Ford.

That was when it hit both Stan and Ford what she was talking about.

"Wait you're saying I have magic too?" asked Ford.

"I'll talk about with Makarov later." Said Erza, "See if he has any theories, you should work on regaining more of your memories, I have a lot to do today."

"So you're finally going to tell them." Said Stan.

"During lunch." Said Erza.

"Good luck with that." Said Stan.

Erza glared at Stan and sighed.

It was going to be a pain explaining what happened.

Not too long later the Guilds had gather outside of the Mystery Shack along with a few Manotaurs and Manly Dan.

Although Hibiki wasn't there as he was busy with trying to figure out certain things.

"All right! Let's get to work fixing the Shack!" cheered Laxus.

They all cheered.

Although the kids didn't do much, expect for Grenda, who due to her massive strength helped carry things.

As they would only help if they needed to, they all sat together, along with Lucy as her helping was with calling Taurus.

"I can't belie I'm learning from him." muttered Gideon.

"You joining the Guild is a punishment." Said Lucy, "And Gajeel's the one who would be best."

"What did Gajeel do?" asked Gideon.

"It's probably best if I'm not the one to tell you." Said Lucy.

Gideon blinked wondering what she was talking about.

"Also don't ask Levy." Said Dipper, "It's a sore topic for her too."

That was when Pacifica sighed.

"What's wrong?" asked Mabel.

"Dad… dad lost all of our money." Said Pacifica.

"How?" asked Dipper.

"Before he was turned to Stone, he put all of our money in to Weirdness Bonds." Said Pacifica.

"What." Said Dipper in disbelief.

"Why would he do that?" asked Candy.

"He did try to become on of Bill's Horsemen after all." Said Pacifica.

"Don't worry, I'll help you guys learning how to live without money." Said Lucy.

"Thanks Lucy." Said Pacifica.

"Hey have any of your guys seen Alec?" asked Sue.

They shook their heads no.

"Okay I'll go look for him. "said Sue.

Dipper sighed.

"Dipper have you talked to dad at all since Weirdmageddeon?" asked Mabel.

Dipper didn't answer.

Not too far away Alec was moping in the forest.

"Alec." Said Sue.

Alec looked towards her.

"Hey." He sighed.

"Is something wrong?" asked Sue.

"I shouldn't have come." Said Alec.

"Oh come Weirdmageddeon wasn't that bad. And you did help big time when everyone lost their magic… and even before then. Sure I can say I lived through the end of the world, but hey how many people say that."

Alec laughed but then became serious again, "IT's not that…"

"Then what is it?" asked Sue.

"I'm starting to wonder if I should consider my self part of this family." Sighed Alec.

"What?" asked Sue.

"Soos and even Jellal helped with Stan regaining his memory… I didn't…" said Alec, "I mean come on! I'm his nephew!"

"Oh Alec…" sighed Sue.

"Seriously!" yelled Alec punching the air.

Suddenly a tree had a crater, as if he was punched by a super strong punch.

"What was that?" asked Alec.

"I don't know… but we should get back to the Shack before we find out." Sighed Sue.

Alec nodded.

They got back to the mystery.

"Lunch time!" called out Mabel, "Come and get your lunch!"

"Soos' Abuelita was the one who made everything!" called out Marvelous.

Indeed Soos' grandmother (who had turned to being a human after Weirdmageddeon) made the lunch for everyone.

As everyone was eat lunch and talking.

"I have an announcement to make." Said Erza.

"IS it about the wedding?" asked Bisca.

Before Erza could say something.

"Oh man! I keep forgetting! I have to give you this!" said Mabel requipping a sketchbook.

She ran over and gave it her mother.

"What is it?" asked Erza.

"Just something I've been working on ever since I started liking Jellal." Said Mabel.

Erza looked through it, turns out they were wedding plans.

They were very detailed and had so many ideas, arrangements and contingencies. Erza couldn't believe how much was already planned.

Well she could belie it after she was Mabel.

Erza looked up from the sketchbook with her eyes sparkling.

"I have decided, the wedding will be on Labor Day." Said Erza.

"What…" said almost everyone.

"Labor Day?" Jet asked Levy.

"An upcoming holiday that's the first Monday in September." Explained Levy.

"Seriously?" asked Jet.

Jellal looked at Erza then noticed in the crowd he noticed Alec, Makarov and Gildarts all had the look on their faces "Let her do it."

"All right, if you want it." Said Jellal.

"Don't worry, we don't have to plan anything, just buy stuff." Said Erza, "Thanks to Mabel's ideas we that's all we have to worry about."

"Planning a wedding in a week and a half…" sighed Max.

"That's Erza for you." Said Warren.

"So is that what you wanted to tell us?" axed Natsu.

"Oh Sorry I got distracted." Said Erza blushing.

"Erza and I have other news to tell you." Said Jellal.

"I'm pregnant." Said Erza.

Everyone stared at Erza who smiled nervously.

"What seriously?" Natsu in disbelief.

"Oh wow!" said Lucy.

"Congratulations!" said Mirajane.

"Wait…" said Gray realizing something, "How long did you know."

"About that…" sighed Erza.

"You knew during it, didn't you?" asked Bisca.

Erza said nothing.

"Seriously Erza?" asked Natsu, "You're pregnant you shouldn't have fought!"

"That's why I didn't tell you! How many of you would have treated me like I would break at the slightest touch?" asked Erza.

No one said anything.

"So what if she's pregnant, you can't even tell right now." Said Wendy.

"Wendy's right, Erza's find and I'm sure the baby is too." Said Makarov, "Even with the strain of Weirdmageddeon."

"Thank you." Sighed Erza relived that Makarov was on her side.

However Makarov was thinking about other things, namely he realized what Bill meant when he didn't drain as much magic from Erza.

Meanwhile with Hibiki he sighed.

"I have to tell them right now." He said, "There's no way we can handle this alone."

Hibiki made his way to the Shack where they were thankfully still eating lunch.

So you're not getting married because of the baby?" asked Alec.

"No, I didn't want the reason why." Sighed Erza, "I told them that days before we got engaged."

"So it is like Will Smith in Independence Day." Said Alec, "Okay… good…"

"Oh that's the movie I was trying to remember!" said Happy.

"Excuse me." Called out Hibiki, "I have news."

"Already?" asked Ren surprised.

"That was fast." Said Ichiya.

"I would prefer if Stan and Ford heard this as well." Said Hibiki.

"I'll go get them." Said Mabel.

"I'll go too." Said Dipper realizing that Mabel might ruin some moment between the two brothers.

They headed inside the Shack.

"Hey!" yelled Mabel causing the two to jump.

"IS something wrong?" asked Stan.

"We don't know, but Hibiki has an announcement and he wants you two to hear it." Said Dipper.

Stan and Ford exchanged looks, wondering if it has to with what they discovered earlier.

They went outside, Hibiki noticed them and started explaining the situation.

"Has anyone seen the news today?" asked Hibiki.

"You mean about that Trembley guy wanting a cat a to president." Said Grenda.

"That was weird." Said Candy.

"Don't remind me." Muttered Pacifica who despised Quinton Trembley for certain reasons.

"No not about that." Said Hibiki, "The one about mysterious events happening all over."

"Strange events?" asked Dipper.

Hibiki nodded, he had managed hook up his magic to the internet and used it to show footage that he managed to gather from the last several hours, he showed the ones from the news. But also other strange events from other countries as well.

"It's not just the United States either, whatever is going on is going on all over the world." Said Hibiki.

"Do you have any idea what it is?" asked Ford.

"I have figured it out." Said Hibiki, "I performed a certain scan earlier…"

"What sort of scan?" asked Ford realizing and he and Stan might not be the only one who mysteriously gained magic.

"I scanned both the area and town for people with internal magic sources." Said Hibiki, "I got some rather interesting results."

He showed the results, pictures of them that popped up were normal.

At first it was normal showing everyone that the knew had an internal magical source. However after showing Soos who should have been last it kept going, showing Stan, Ford, Pacifica, Candy, Grenda, Gideon, Wendy, Sue and finally Alec.

The only two humans that were there not on screen were Soos' Grandmother and Manly Dan.

"Not only that but when I did the whole town." Said Hibiki.

He did the examined search. There many other faces on the screen, including Robbie, Old Man McGucket and several other people.

Everyone was so shocked that they didn't care who else were on the screens.

"This is a joke… right?" asked Natsu.

"No it's not…" said Erza, "I checked earlier…"

"What? How?" asked Dipper.

"I used magic earlier." Sighed Stan.

Alec's eyes widened.

"Oh my gosh accidental magic!" said Sue who immediately shut herself up.

"You going to be okay?" Mabel asked her remembering how much of a Harry Potter fan she was.

Sue who was literally covering her mouth nodded.

"I wasn't sure what happened." Said Erza.

"But if it's all over the world." Said Ford.

"How many people?" asked Makarov.

"I don't know…" said Hibiki, "My best guess though… 10 percent of the population."

Everyone paled.

"If it's 10 percent of the population…" said Makarov.

"How much is 10 percent of 7 Billion People?" asked Gray.

"70 million." Said Candy adjusting her glasses.

Everyone paled.

"There's a chance that there's 4 times magic users than there are people in Fiore?" asked Jet.

"That's insane!" said Droy.

"What are we going to do?" asked Makarov.

"There is one way, we have to get back to Earthland and get the magic council involved." Said Hibiki.

Every single member of Fairy Tail who were in the S Class Trial winced.

"What's wrong?" asked Jura.

"Okay so one of the many problems with the S Class Trials was that someone from the Magic Council mess with our memories making us think he was a member of Fairy Tail and one of the S Class Candidates." Explained Gray.

"He chose Wendy as his partner since she was one of the newer members." Said Carla.

"Wait what were you two doing on the island again?" asked Droy pointing to Carla and Panther Lily.

"We were both suspicious of him." said Carla.

"I would be angry… but they were a big help on Tenrou Island." Said Makarov.

"Can we even get to Earthland." Said Ford.

"We can, there's lingering energy from the rift, it won't last long, we have a week at most." Said Hibiki, "But I can't do this alone. I need someone else to help me. One of you will have to learn Archive."

With the exception of Alec those who had recently gained magic all looked at each other.

However in reality there was only one choice and they all knew that.

"I volunteer." Said Ford.

Hibiki nodded.

He began to type something in.

"Don't worry learning it very easy." said Hibiki.

"How easy?" asked Ford.

That was when a download bar appeared above his head.

"Once it's done you will know how to use Archive. And it is permanent." Said Hibiki, "I'm sure Lucy still knows the spell I taught her."

"Yeah, but it's not something I could use everyday." Said Lucy blushing somewhat.

"I have a question." Said Mabel.

"Don't worry, touching the bar won't effect it." Said Hibiki.

However Alec who was in shock after seeing his face started laughing.

"Alec are you okay?" asked Sue.

"Does it look like I'm okay?" asked Alec, "You know what I'm just done! I'm done!"

He suddenly walked off.

"What's wrong with him?" asked Stan.

"Everything." Sighed Sue.

"What do you mean?" asked Stan.

"The last several hours have been stressful, first he feels like he's not part of you family, then I'm pretty sure everything with Erza is weighing on him. Now he has the thing that he envied and let him destroy his family life." Said Sue.

"Oh man… someone needs to talk to him." said Mabel.

"Dipper go talk to your father." Said Erza.

"What why me?" said Dipper, "Why can't Sue talk to him?"

"Dipper, he's been depressed almost the entire trip because of your relationship. He gave up on trying to fix it… and it was destroyed by something he really wanted and now he has what he wanted..." said Sue, "That and I'm not in the right mind set to talk to him…"

"Why?" asked Dipper then he remember why, but he was too late to stop her explanation.

"OH MY GOSH I HAVE MAGIC!" she squid, "I need to find ways to make Harry Potter magic REAL! Oh my gosh what if other people figure out the same way. OH MY GOSH… there's probably going to be really real wand shops! Hogwarts! They're going to build a real Hogwarts! I'm sure of it!"

She continued her fan girling.

"So should we stop her?" asked Natsu.

"No, she'll stop eventually." Sighed Ford.

Dipper headed into the forest, he found him pretty quickly.

Alec stood alone in the forest.

"I really shouldn't have come." Said Alec.

Dipper said nothing.

"I don't know if I would have gained magic if I didn't… but still everyone hates me… especially you…" said Alec.

Dipper blinked.

"I don't hate you…" sighed Dipper, "I'm just still angry with you and I don't know when I'll be able to forgive you."

"That's something I really needed to hear that." Said Alec, "I know it's just going to take some time earn back everyone's trust but it still really hurts…"

Dipper nodded.

"Dipper listen to me." Said Alec, "Never tell let anyone tell you it's girly to talk about your feelings okay."

Dipper looked at his father wondering why he was talking about that.

Back at the mystery Shack.

"This might be the only day I can do this." Said Ford sitting the projector up.

"Hey I understand, I'll figure out something to get some of the other memories back." Said Stan.

He looked at the loading bar.

"That thing is so distracting." Said Stan.

"I know." Said Ford.

That night, Erza found the two older twins sleeping while watching the home movies, she put a blanket on them before checking up ion Dipper and Mabel.

Dipper was reading the Journals while Mabel was making her usual sweater.

"I thought Bill destroyed them." Said Erza.

"He did, but they were resorted when the town was." Said Dipper.

"By the way where's dad staying?" asked Mabel.

"I'm letting them use my room." Said Erza, "And I did grant them special permission."

"Natsu's not going like that." Said Dipper.

"No he's not…" laughed Erza.

The next day things had calmed down with the whole magic thing and they continued fixing up the Mystery Shack.

Natsu was looking around.

"Hey Natsu is something wrong?" asked Lucy.

"Just looking for Alec." Said Natsu.

Lucy stared at him.

"Why?" asked Lucy.

"Uh… no reason." Said Natsu.

"You know he stayed the night in Erza's room because of the blow up yesterday, right?" asked Lucy.

Natsu didn't say anything.

"He can't give you special permission." Said Lucy, "He was a guest."

Before Natsu could respond they heard Gideon laughing manically. Turns out he was the first one out of everyone to get used to his magic as he was using telekinesis to move things.

Natsu's eye twitched.

"Remember he has a mentor to whip him into shape." Said Lucy.

Said mentor walked over to Gideon and whacked him in the head.

"Ow…" he muttered.

"Try not to go power hungry. Will you." Said Gajeel, "Go hang out with the other kids."

Gideon walked over to the girls and Dipper.

"Did he have to hit me." Said Gideon.

"You were going a little power crazy." Said Mabel.

"Sorry…" sighed Gideon, "Speaking of which… I wanted to ask you and Dipper something."

"What?" asked Mabel.

"Why are there Stanfords?" asked Gideon.

"Oh about that…" sighed Dipper somewhat dreading this conversation.

"Grunkle Stan is actually named Stanley, and he took Grunkle Ford's identity when he was accidently sucked into a portal." Said Mabel, "And Grunkle Ford is the author of the Journals."

"Wait… you're serous?" asked Gideon, "Oh my gosh! I met the author of the journals!"

He began to squee.

"I cant' believe I met the author of the Journals!" said Gideon.

Everyone stopped to stare at him.

"IS there something wrong with him?" asked Sherry.

"Dipper and Mabel probably finally told him Ford wrote the journals." Said Gray with a shrug.

"By the way… you're undressing again." Sighed Sherry.

"Oh seriously!" yelled Gray.

In the remains of the basement, Ford and Hibiki began their plans.

"I've been to plenty of magic using dimension, but to use magic like this." Said Ford.

"You're probably the oldest person to learn this magic." Joked Hibiki.

Ford laughed.

"I'm sorry…" said Hibiki.

"From what I heard you have nothing to apologize for." Said Ford, "Bill attacked you and trapped you within your own mind, there was nothing you could do."

"How is Stan?" asked Hibiki.

"He's doing better, Alec and Erza are helping him today." Explained Ford.

"That's good." Said Hibiki.

Meanwhile upstairs.

While going through things. Stan said this.

"You know… I don't remember much your wedding." Said Stan.

"No…" said Erza.

"But I honestly don't remember what happened." Said Stan in a certain tone of voice.

Erza glared at him while Alec tried not to puke.

"Thinking about it still gives you nausea?" asked Stan.

Both of them looked at Stan.

"I mean…" said Stan.

"We're figure out something else for you to remember, something that you haven't actually remember." Sighed Alec.

"Do you remember your last trip to Vegas?" asked Erza.

"Do you have anything to remind me." Said Stan.

Erza smirked.

"I don't like that smirk." Though Alec getting a bad feeling.

And so they watched a very different wedding video.

One that made Stan face palm as he remembered, and thanks to a chain of events he remembered the time he tried to steal a badger animatronic as well.

Over the course of the next couple of days Ford and Hibiki were busy trying to see if they could build at Bridge using the lingering energy and the Guild continued to rebuild the Mystery Shack.

Ford would work tirelessly while Hibiki would take breaks to sleep when need be.

"Are you sure you don't need to sleep?" asked Hibiki.

"I'm fine." Said Ford.

They did take quick breaks to eat though, it helped that Dipper would check in on them.

On Tuesday morning, The Pines (minus Ford) were watching the news while eating breakfast due to the fact that there would be a good a very good chance thins were starting to get worse magic wise.

"Pandemonium at the Republican Notational as several of the mysterious events happened." Said the female anchor of the national news.

"Several strange things occurred through the first day of the convention. One Delegate from Texas loudly proclaimed at one point "They're witches!". Several higher ups including Mitt Romney had yet to comment." Said the male anchor.

"Is anyone surprised?" asked Stan.

"Nope." Said Mabel.

"Not at all." Sighed Erza.

That was when Ford and Hibiki ran into the room.

"We found a way to the Build the Bridge." Said Ford.

"Have you contacted Makarov yet." Said Erza.

"Not yet." Said Ford.

"But I'm connecting him now." Said Hibiki using his magic.

An icon appeared on the screen.

"Makarov can you here me?" asked Hibiki.

"I can hear you," came Makarov's voice.

"We belie we can build the Bridge." Said Hibiki.

"Good." Said Makarov, "Can you choose where it's placed or will it be in the spot where we were found?"

"If our theory is correct, then we can place it anywhere." Said Hibiki.

"Good." Said Makarov on the other end, "I want you to place both ends at the Guild Halls."

"We figured." Said Hibiki.

"Good." Said Makarov.

"We'll be there soon." Said Ford.

"I'll see you there." Said Makarov on the other end.

They ended the telepathy call.

"Any reason why you did it in here?" asked Stan.

"So you could get the news too." Said Ford.

"So after today you'll no longer be busy?" asked Stan.

Ford nodded.

"Good you two can spend time together and patch things up." Said Mabel, "By the way have you two hugged it out yet?"

"What?" asked Stan who forgot about that little moment.

"I want you two to hug it out later." Said Mabel who had become serous, "Then I'll know you have patched things up."

"Oh yeah… I remember that now." Said Stan who had forgotten how Mabel was when she was angry.

Something later at outside Guild Hall. The two did it, Ichiya and Jura were also there figuring it would be best if they were among the first through the portals.

"All right! We can open the preliminary portal." Said Hibiki.

That was when a bright light filled the air and a portal similar to the one he created to get to Earth in the first place was created.

"All right! Myself and Makarov will go through first to set up the permanent bridge. "said Hibiki.

"And I'll wait until you contact me." Said Ford.

Both Hibiki and Makarov went through the portal.

"So how long will it take?" asked Ichiya.

"If takes a minute then it will take 45 here." Said Ford, "It's going to be a while."

Back at the Mystery Shack, the construction continued, it would be the last of the construction thankfully.

After all the damage from Weirdmageddeon was much more extensive than other times.

Erza noticed that they were out of cake.

"Hey Stan how would you like to get to know the town again?" asked Erza.

"You're just using that an excuse to buy cake." said Stan.

"Bur you still need to remember the lay out of the town." Pointed out Erza.

Stan sighed and realized she had a point.

The two of them left the mystery Shack… unfortunately when they left this happened…

Natsu got hit by something that Gajeel was carrying.

"Hey! Watch where you're going!" yelled Natsu.

"no you should pay attention to what you're doing." Said Gajeel.

And so the two started fighting.

Meanwhile (due to the relatively speaking terms right now) at the Main Fairy Tail Guild, nearly everyone was there was panicking, after all it had been hours since the rescue team disappeared.

"So any sign of them?" asked a man with short dark purple hair and stubble.

He was Macao and he was in charge of Fairy Tail at the moment.

He was talking through a commutation Lacrima to a girl with purple hair and glasses.

She was Laki, and she was mentioned before so she didn't' really need an introduction.

"Not right now." Said Laki on the other end.

"Great…" said Macao.

A man with a brown pompadour smoking a pipe sighed, he was Wakaba, a wizard who used Smoke Magic.

"This is just great…" muttered Wakaba.

"I really hope they're alive." Sighed Macao.

"Hey! Macao! You have to come out here now." Yelled someone.

In the courtyard the other end of the portal appeared.

"What is that?" asked Macao.

"If we knew what it was, we would have brought you out here." Said the person who summoned him.

However before anything else could be said both Makarov and Hibiki appeared through it.

"Master?" asked Macao.

"We're back." Said Makarov, "Sorry it took a long time to make contact."

They saw that Hibiki was doing something.

"Give him space to work." Said Makarov.

"All right, Connecting to Ford. This should speed up Earth's time." Said Hibiki.

Ford appeared on screen.

"That was much faster than I thought it would be." Said Ford.

"How long?" asked Hibiki.

"Less than half hour." Said Ford.

"Good." Said Hibiki, "You ready."

"I've been ready." Said Ford.

Both of them worked hard, it took several minutes but they watched at the portal began to change colors and seemed to get less bight. And soon it looked less like a glowing thing and more like someone cut a hole in the fabric of space.

"It's completely stable." Said Ford on the other side.

"Unless someone find a way to tamper with it permanently this should be here for years." Said Hibiki.

Hibiki got rid of the screen and Jura and Ichiya came though the newly formed doorway.

"Where Ford?" asked Makarov.

"I don't want to be the first in my family to go through this." They heard Ford's voice from the hole.

Makarov laughed.

"Master what's going on?" asked Macao.

"It's a long story, but we there for months in there." Said Makarov.

"Was it bad?" asked Wakaba.

"Well a week ago it was, but it's something I shouldn't get into." Said Makarov, "You two want to check it out?"

"Shouldn't you be contacting the magic council about the situation?" asked Ichiya.

"I'm not dealing with them right now." Muttered Makarov.

Everyone sighed, not that they were surprised.

Wakaba and Macao decided to go the other side where Ford was waiting for them just to know what is going on.

"Ford, this Wakaba and Macao, Wakaba and Macao, this Stanford Pines, he help Hibiki build a permanent bridge between the two worlds." Said Makarov.

"Pleased to make your acquaintance." Said Ford shacking their hands.

"So do all people in this world have six fingers?" asked Wakaba.

"No…" said Makarov.

"It's understandable." Said Ford who wasn't offended, he had met many strange worlds with many different fingers.

That as when they noticed the Earth Guild Hall.

"Wait! You rebuilt here." Said Wakaba.

"But you only gone for a day." Said Macao.

"Actually we were here for months." Said Makarov, "Until Hibiki and Ford changed it, there was a time difference."

"What kind of time difference?" asked Macao.

"45 times faster." Sid Makarov.

"But you don't have to worry, Hibiki and I managed to slow down this world's time." Said Ford.

"If you say so…" said Wakaba.

"Why is it so quiet?" asked Macao.

"Oh… my house was damaged in a recent incident, and they're fixing it up." Said Ford.

"You two should some and say hi." Said Makarov, "I'm sure it will be fun."

"Is it just me or is Master hiding something?" asked Macao.

"Knowing him it must be big." Said Wakaba.

They made their way to the Mystery Shack… where it had of course devolved into a huge Guild Brawl. Thankfully, Soos (using a few walls), Levy and Dipper were protecting shack during the brawl.

Those that weren't fighting the in brawl (which were mostly the girls, the kids, the Trimens, though Jellal didn't participate either) all stood off to the side.

"Okay… this looks normal…" said Wakaba.

"I don't know why this would be a surprise." Said Macao.

"Where your mother?" Ford asked Mabel who was standing off to the side.

"Cake run that she's using as an excuse for Stan to regaining his memories…" said Mabel.

Bedsore Makarov or Ford could ask when she through she would be home.

"What do you think you're doing!" yelled Erza making her presence known.

Everyone who was engaging in the fighting all froze.

Wakaba and Macao.

Mirajane having noticed Wakaba and Macao there decided to drive the point home.

"Erza?" asked Wakaba.

"How… how is she alive…" said Macao.

"She was sent to this world. But what was four months to us was 15 years to her." Explained Makarov.

Those that were in the brawl all stared at Erza sweating.

Erza requiped into her Heaven's Wheel Armor.

Mabel decided to have some fun with Wakaba and Macao.

"All right! Go mom!" cheered Mabel.

"Isn't she laying it on thick." Said Pacifica.

"Those tow knew Erza since we were young, of course she's laying it on thick,." Laughed Lisanna.

Mom?" asked Wakaba and Macao at the same time.

Makarov began to laugh.

Indeed with a bridge built there was no more worry with trying to find a way home. But with it were huge changes, not just the bridge but the fact that a lot of people on earth could yes magic.

But one thing was wasn't going to change, Fairy Tail wizards were a rambunctious bunch…

Next Time: With the Bridge built, the Magic Council is aware of the situation, and with Erza alive, there's something they must speak to with. What is it? Meanwhile Lucy has some loose ends she needs to tie up on Earthland, what are they? What will happen? Find out next time!

A/N: I already have the magic everyone will learn in my head, so suggestions. Also you may suggest which character gained magic from Gravity Falls that weren't mention, but only chose a few, I will say this though: Shandra gained magic (come on, she's pretty awesome) while Tambry has not (I have cute plans for her, don't worry). But everyone else is fair game...
