It's Mickey back with another chapter for DFTMF and I think I'll split Summerween into two parts. I also might take my own little spins from time to time in the story so don't be alarmed when I don't put an episode from Gravity Falls in the story.

Also I've gotten a whole bunch of requests (well two) for crossovers, and I'm more than willing to take requests if you PM me. It can be a separate story or one that intertwines with this. Just tell me what you want it to be about and I'll try my best.

There is a poll on my account for how Dan is going to end up like. Hero, Villain, or Anti-hero. It's up to you guys. And if you want me to pair someone with Danny just post it on this story and I'll mark up the tallies. It'll be open until the last book which won't be for a while, so it'll be open for a while. Also for those in Australia, I hope you all are doing well as well as those animals. Man, fires are taking over the world.

Guest: You know what, I may actually do that. Great idea, thanks!

rhinocaputo777: Well, here it is.

aquestionableprecence: Thank you very much. I will

UltraPhantom: Thanks

Bellmitch Kritznovah: Thank you! And I was thinking of changing gravity falls a bit. There's still going to be Weirdmageddon, but I think I'm going to take my time with this one. Add a couple of chapters that have nothing to do with original storyline of Gravity Falls, so just keep reading.

Chapter 2: Summerween Part 2

Night came quickly for the Pines Family and Danny as they prepared for Summerween. Mabel was excited especially. Halloween was one of her favorite times of year especially when she spent it as a family with her twin brother. But now she had two friends to spend it with. So she dragged Danny, who was dressed as a rogue looking character, and her Grunkle Stan, who was dressed as a vampire, into the living room.

"Allow me to introduce you to my best friends, Candy and Grenda." Mabel said as Candy and Grenda smiled at them.

"I am so sweet I could eat myself." Candy said as Grenda waved.

"Hello!" Grenda said in her deep voice. Grunkle Stan looked a bit disturbed as Grenda spoke to them.

"Nice to meet such beautiful ladies." Danny said with a gentle smile on his face.

"You got a cold, honey? Something wrong with your voice there?" Grunkle Stan asked as Danny sighed. Grenda looked hurt as Mabel didn't want to comment on anything.

"What do you mean? Why would you say that?" Grenda asked obviously offended. Mabel watched as her Grunkle Stan waved his cape and walked away, which was weird.

"Oh, and Danny. Can you watch the kids with Soos while they go trick-or-treating, thanks!" Grunkle Stan said as Danny turned to Mabel and her friends.

"Seems like I'm watching you guys tonight." Danny said as he cast one of his dazzling smiles at them.

"Awesome!" Mabel exclaimed while Grenda and Candy smiled.

"Is Waddles coming with us?" Candy asked and Danny blinked.

"Who's Waddles?" Danny asked as a pig dressed in a suit walked in.

"I wish he could, but he has some very important meetings to attend!" Mabel said as she picked up Waddles and held him up to her face. "File these documents under 'I', for "I have a curly tail!"" Grenda, Candy, and Danny chuckled as Mabel put Waddles down.

"What about your brother?" Grenda asked as Mabel heard footsteps from the stairs.

"Oh man guys, just wait until you see Dipper's costume! It's amazing! Here he comes now!" Mabel said as they all looked to the stairs to see Dipper not wearing any costume whatsoever. Mabel's smile fell off her face as she looked disappointed at her brother.

"That is a very good Dipper costume." Candy said trying to lighten the mood as Mabel bounced over to Dipper.

"What the hey-hey bro-bro, where's your costume?" Mabel asked as Dipper scratched the back of his head.

"Look, I can't go trick-or-treating. I'm... uh, really sick." Dipper faked a cough that Mabel obviously knew he was lying. "Must have been that bad candy." Dipper fell to the floor as Mabel rolled her eyes.

"Fight through it, man! Where's your Summerween spirit?" Mabel asked as there was a knock on the door. She didn't notice Danny narrowing his eyes at the door as Dipper opened it.

"Trick-or-treat." A man said as he opened a bag. Mabel thought it was a really elaborate costume as Dipper sighed.

"Dude, really? You're a little old for this, man. Sorry." Dipper said as the man looked appalled.

"But wait, I —" But the man didn't finish as Dipper slammed the door in his face.

"Dipper, I don't think that was a good idea." Danny said as Mabel raised an eyebrow at her twin. The twins didn't notice Danny's hand hovering near the handle of his blade.

"Why'd you close the door?" Mabel asked. Dipper faked coughed once more before speaking.

"I told you, Mabel, I'm just not feeling it tonight." Dipper explained as Mabel smiled.

"I think a little trick-or-treating will make you feel better." Mabel said as Dipper began to get irritated.

"I'm not trick-or-treating!" There was a knock on the door again. Dipper opened the door and unleashed his irritation at the same figure at the door. "Look man, just go to another house!" Dipper slammed the door once more as Mabel frowned.

"Dipper! Where's your Summerween hospitality?" Mabel asked as there was another knock on the door.

"I'm not getting that." Dipper said as Mabel walked up to the door.

"Well I am!" Mabel said as she put her hand on the door handle.

"No, Mabel don't!" Danny called out, but it was too late. Mabel had already opened the door where anger was clearly written on the guy's face.

"I apologize for my brother, he came down with a case of the grumpy-grumps." Mabel said as the guy growled at them.

"SILENCE! You have insulted me! For this you must pay... with your LIVES." The man said as Danny walked towards Mabel and took her arm.

"Aww, what a cute little mask! You're a funny guy, aren't you? Right, Danny?" Mabel asked as she was pushed behind Danny.

"Funny, am I?" The man asked as he walked inside.

"Leave these kids alone! They didn't mean to upset you." Danny said as a shrill voice caught everyone's attention.

"Twik-owr-tweet! My name is Gorney." Gorney said as the man picked him up and opened an inhumanely mouth. Then he swallowed Gorney whole which made them all gasp.

"Gorney!" Grenda called out as Danny spread his arms as if to protect everyone.

"What the hell is your problem, man?!" Danny asked as the man laughed.

"There's only one way for you to avoid his fate." The man said as he reached his arm over Danny and poked Candy in the face. Candy whimpered as she held onto Dipper. Mabel didn't know what to say. "I need a treat. If you can collect 500 pieces of candy, and bring it to me before the last jack-o-melon goes out…" The man picked up the jack-o-melon off the porch and blew the candle out. "I will let you live."

"Five hundred treats in one night? That's impossible!" Dipper yelled as the man laughed. Mabel watched as Danny's hands curled into fists.

"If we can complete what you wish of us, you will hold up your end of the promise, right?" Danny asked as the man nodded. "And who are you anyways?" The man laughed as the tension in the room lifted just a bit.

"I am known as the Summerween Trickster." Trickster said as Mabel gulped. "Now, the choice is yours to get the candy or DIE!" The trickster walked out and crawled onto the roof. Dipper was panicking as Mabel was cheering inside. She could finally get Dipper to go trick-or-treating.

"Oh my gosh, Mabel! Do you know what this means?" Dipper asked quickly as Danny took a look outside to see if the trickster was still there.

"I do!" Mabel exclaimed as she put her hands on her twin's shoulders. "It means you have to go trick-or-treating with us! YAY!" She shook Dipper until Danny came and took Dipper out o her grip.

"Who was that guy?" Candy asked as Mabel gasped.

"It's the legend Soos told us about. It's true!" Mabel exclaimed as Grenda grabbed Dipper by the shoulders and began to shake him.

"What do we do what do we DO!" Grenda yelled as Danny stepped in and rescued Dipper.

"Alright everyone, calm down." Danny instructed. "Panicking won't help us at all. All we need to do is get five hundred pieces of candy." Mabel sighed.

"How are we supposed to get five hundred candies all in one night? Not even Dipper and I can get that many with out twin cuteness." Mabel said as Danny kneeled before them, making sure he was around their height.

"Have you ever tired?" Danny asked as Mabel shook her head. "Then you'll never know. You'll never know what you're capable of until you try." At the moment, Soos popped his head from around the corner.

"What's goin' on out here, dudes? I heard a ruckus. Hehe. That's a funny word. Ruckus." Soos laughed as everyone turned to them.

"The Summerween Trickster came and demanded that we get five hundred pieces of candy before the last jack-o-melon goes out." Danny explained as Soos gasped.

"The Summerween Trickster! Oh man, dude, you guys are in crazy bonkers trouble." Soos said as Mabel frowned. She had to follow Danny's advice, they had to try.

"Listen up, people. Now some might say that being cursed by a blood-thirsty holiday monster is a bad thing." Mabel said as Grenda raised her hand.

"I wet myself." Grenda said as Danny quickly gave her a change of clothes and led her to the nearest restroom.

"But that monster messed with the wrong crew." Mabel said as she looked at everyone. "With Candy's spirit, Grenda's strength, Dipper's brains, Danny's optimism, and...Soos, we'll get 500 pieces of candy and have fun doing it too, even if it takes all night!" Grenda, Soos, and Candy cheered as Danny smiled at her. Mabel looked at Dipper who seemed skeptical.

"To the streets!"

"All night? But-but I'm sick, remember?" Dipper said having a fake cough fit. Mabel hopped down from the table and looked at her brother dead in the eye.

"Dipper, what's worse: getting eaten by a terrifying monster, or coming trick-or-treating with us?" Mabel asked as Dipper looked to the side.

"Well…" Dipper said as Danny raised an eyebrow.

"Hey, family has to stick together no matter what. You don't know when you might lose what you actually treasure the most." Danny said as Mabel stared at Dipper.

"Fine! But I'm not wearing my costume." Dipper said as Danny shrugged.

"That's the best you'll get so far, Mabel." Danny said as Mabel smiled.

"I'll take it!"

Danny followed Soos and the children through the streets of Gravity Falls. It was quite a quaint town if there wasn't a sense of dread and the feeling of being watched everywhere. He had to find where that was coming from.

These people are weird. Celebrating the dead and supernatural in the middle of Summer? Disgraceful! Zorasil shouted in Danny's head as he watched other trick-or-treaters laughing and giggling.

"I think it's funny. They loved Halloween so much, but there is always that everlasting danger they have here." Danny said as he looked around. Some of the costumes weren't as good as he thought, but they're children. It was just cute to see them dress up.

That may be true, but do not stray from your path. Dan is still the number one threat out there and we need to get to him before he captures the next villain. Zorasil said as Danny nodded. He couldn't stray from his path. Dan is growing stronger each day with the new powers he has acquired. It won't be soon before he makes his ultimate move. Zorasil was right. He had to find Dan and quick. Something could happen if he wasn't quick.

"I don't understand why we can't just buy our candy and be done with it." Dipper said enthusiastically as Danny followed the Pines family and friends through the streets of Gravity falls.

"That sorta takes the fun out of trick-or-treat-or-die." Mabel said nonchalantly as if they weren't threatened by a mythical monster who was out to kill them.

"I'm trying to take the DIE out of trick-or-treat-or-die." Dipper replied as Danny put a hand on Dipper's shoulder.

"Hey, try to loosen up a bit. It's only trick-or-treating. What's so bad about it?" Danny asked as Soos laughed with Grenda and Candy. Dipper frowned as he shook off Danny's hand.

"Aren't you supposed to watch us? Why aren't you being more responsible after we were threatened by some monster?!" Dipper yelled as Danny frowned. He had to tread carefully. No one could know that he was half ghost since he wouldn't know how they would react.

"Dipper, you might not understand but I am being responsible. I'm taking you out trick-or-treating with family and friends that you care about a lot. Getting candy from this event is the only way you're going to survive tonight." Danny explained as Dipper looked down. "So at least deal with tonight if you going to act this way." Danny walked up the stairs to a house where Mabel rang the doorbell. When the door opened, Danny was met with a late 90s looking woman with a lazy eye.

"Trick-or-treat." The kids in front of them chorused as they held out a bag.

"Well aren't you just the cutest! And is everyone in costume?" The woman asked as she gave the kids candy. "Good. Wonderful." The kids left as they thanked her and Danny walked up with the rest of the Pines Family.

"Treak-or-treat!" Everyone exclaimed as the woman smiled.

"Is everyone in costume?" She asked as she began to point out everyone's costume. "Chimney sweep" Pointed to Grenda. "elephant man" Soos. "squeegee" Candy. "ant farm" Mabel. " Warrior!" Danny winked at her as she blushed. Then she looked to Dipper. "Oh and what are you supposed to be?" Dipper blinked and scratched his arm.

"Uh, actually, I'm not dressed up as anything. We're, we're kinda in a hurry, here." Dipper said and Danny could tell that she didn't like that.

"Oh. I see." The woman said as she gave everyone a piece of candy, but Danny got two. Dipper frowned when he didn't get a piece of candy. "Enjoy!" She closed the door and they left the porch. Grenda dug into her bag of candy and brought out the one candy the woman gave to her.

"One piece of black licorice?" Grenda asked as everyone looked through theirs.

"Circus peanut! This is loser candy." Candy said as she put the candy back into her bag.

"Six pieces of candy?! This is gonna take forever!" Dipper exclaimed as Mabel turned to Dipper.

"We've gotta up our game, Dipper. You gotta put on your costume." Mabel said as Dipper shook his head. Danny felt someone watching them from above and put a hand on the hilt of his sword. Danny slowly drew out the sword, remaining on guard. He wouldn't be spooked this time.

"I told you, I'm not up to it, Mabel!" Dipper faked coughed as Danny stood next to the kids, ready to protect them from the Trickster.

"Come out! I know you're there!" Danny yelled as someone chuckled darkly from a nice them.

"You must have a sixth sense of you're able to tell if I'm there or not." The trickster said as he climbed down from a light pole.

"The last jack-o-melon hasn't been blown out yet, what are you doing here?" Danny asked as the Trickster picked up a jack-o-melon and below out the candle.

"Tick Tock." Then the Trickster jumped behind a house and into the shadows. Danny fully sheathed his sword before looking at the Pines family and friends.

"We have to get candy and fast." Danny instructed as Mabel looked at Dipper.

"So what was that about being too sick to wear a costume?" Dipper grumbled as he kicked a rock. Danny knew that Dipper wanted to go to the party, but family always comes first.

You are very family oriented, Danny. Zorasil said taking Danny's attention away from the Pine twins.

"Of course, I do. I feel that I have to make up for what happened to others around me." Danny muttered to Zorasil who hummed.

I thought you were over the whole incident. You had the Avengers and Justice League assure you that it wasn't your fault. Zorasil said as Danny sighed.

"You can never be over the fact that your family died before your eyes. I can't let that happen to these kids." Danny said as he looked over to Dipper, who had changed into his costume, with Mabel to match. A smile graced his lips. "Because they need each other." Zorasil was silent until he spoke once more.

Like how parents would act a certain way to… teach you. Danny nodded and smiled. Maybe he would have taught his unborn child many things that Danny had learned over his years. He could only wonder who he would be like. Him or Sam?

"D…" Danny didn't hear as he was still deep into thought.

"Dann…." He was still wondering what his unborn child would have been. A boy or a girl?

"DANNY!" Danny snapped out of his reverie and looked toward the kids. "Are you alright? You were muttering and nodding to yourself." Dipper narrowed his eyes accusingly at Danny.

"Oh! I was thinking about how to defeat the Trickster if we don't get enough candy by the last jack-o-melon." Danny lied as everyone seemed to understand except for Dipper. Danny had to give it to him, Dipper was more observational than he thought. He had to keep an eye out.
