Summerween Part 3

Zorasil was deep in thought. Who knew having such a small conversation with Danny would result in him thinking about his life choices. He thought about his father and wondered if ignoring him was his way of teaching Zorasil.

"Is something wrong, My Lord?" He looked at his faithful companion, Maxwell.

It is nothing, Maxwell. I am just deep in thought. Zorasil answered as Maxwell nodded. Zorasil liked Maxwell. He was his most faithful servant out of the seven of his devoted followers. Maybe he wouldn't kill him after he took over Danny's body. Is the research going well, Maxwell? Maxwell nodded.

"Yes, My Lord. The possession circle is coming along. Lust and Pride are taking care of it." Maxwell said as Zorasil nodded. He had almost forgotten that he had given his seven followers the names of the seven sins. Ironic since they claimed for him to be the devil when he was a god. Not some fake wannabe that does nothing.

Everything must be ready once I am ready. Wrath, will you be my sword and shield? Zorasil asked as Maxwell's eyes glowed a deep red.

"Of course, My lord! I am ready to spill my own blood for you if it means at the cost of my life." Maxwell said as crimson armor covered his body. In his hand was a silver sword which dripped with red liquid, the same consistency of blood.

Good, contact Envy and tell him to come to my temple. Zorasil commanded as Wrath nodded.

"At your command, my lord."


"Introducing, for the first time in public…" Mabel lstepped out dressed as a jar of jelly which made Danny noticeably snort. Then Dipper stepped out in a matching jar of peanut butter, which Danny had to pinch himself to stop from bursting out in laughter.

"Awwwww!" Soos, Grenda, and Candy all said as Danny seemed to be choking on air.

"I will make you internet famous." Candy said as she snapped a photo of both Dipper and Mabel. Dipper immediately panicked after seeing the flash of the camera.

"Hey! Erase that! Let's just get this over with, okay?" Dipper asked as Danny raised an eyebrow.

"Dipper, calm down and have some fun. You're still a kid after all." Danny said as he ruffled Dipper's head.

"Hey!" Danny sniggered as he walked away. They began to trick or treat. Danny watched from afar as Dipper and Mabel rang the doorbell. With his advanced hearing, Danny could easily hear what conversation they were having.

"Do you really think this will make a difference?" Dipper asked as he rang the doorbell. The door opened to reveal a mean looking biker. Then Dipper and Mabel started to dance. "Hat a ta tah, Tah tah ta... TWIIIIINS!" Danny chuckled at the little jazz hands at the end. The biker sniffed and dumped the whole bowl into the bag.

"Well, I can't let them show me up." Danny said as he went door to door, earning about as much as Dipper and Mabel. The excuses he made were a bit exaggerated.

"I am going to donate all the money to charity."

"This is the only food I'll have for the rest of the year." Okay, that was a bit exaggerated.

"My family died." It wasn't a lie.

"498, 499. We did it!" Mabel exclaimed as everyone cheered. "All we need is one more piece of candy." Danny smiled as Dipper looked at his watch. He could easily hear what Dipper was saying.

"And it's only 8:30. Perfect timing!" Danny shook his head. Dipper really needed to learn the meaning of being there for people and not worrying about yourself all the time. Danny sighed. Danny waited as everyone except for Dipper ran to the last house.

"Dipper…" Danny started before Dipper smiled at him.

"Isn't it great, Danny?! It's the perfect time to go to Wendy's party, and no one needs to know I was trick-or-treating." Dipper said as Danny shook his head.

"It's not about-" But Danny was cut off as a van pulled towards them and Wendy stuck her head out of the window.

"Hey Dipper! H-Hey, D-Danny." Danny waved at her which caused her cheeks to receive a light blush.

"Oh hey, Wendy. What's up?" Dipper said albeit nervously.

"Are you comin' to the party?" Wendy asked as she and Danny made eye contact.

"What are you doing out here?" Robbie asked as Danny spoke up first.

"We were trick-or-treating. Something wrong with that?" Danny asked narrowing his eyes dangerously. He could see Robbie gulp in fear and nervousness.

"It's for children." Robbie said in a quiet voice.

"So you think because you're older that trick-or-treating doesn't matter to you?" Danny asked as he walked towards the van. Wendy moved out of the way. "I told you earlier that it doesn't matter. Trick-or-treating has been a tradition ever since the Hallows Eve was discovered! So what if Dipper wants to trick-or-treat. So what if I want to trick-or-treat." Dipper was pulling on Danny's sleeve, but to no luck of dragging him away. "Do you have anything against me?"

"N-No…" Robbie stuttered. Danny smiled and nodded.

"Good." Danny looked at Wendy whose entire face was beet red. "We might be a little late, Wendy. We still have something to do." Wendy nodded and Danny walked back to Dipper who had this look of horror on his face.

"S-See you later, Danny." Wendy said as Danny waved at them. Robbie seemed to step on the gas making the van shoot forward.

"What the heck, Danny?!" Dipper shouted as Danny plugged his ears. "I wanted to go to that party!" Danny unplugged his ears and looked at Dipper.

"You were having fun with your sister. A bonding moment, might I add." Danny said as Dipper adopted a sad look on his face. "Some party won't make you happy like the way you spend time with your sister." Dipper frowned as Danny put a hand on his shoulder. "Dipper, listen to me. I know because I've been there and done that. There are so many things I regret because I didn't spend time with those who mattered most." Dipper shook off Danny's arm, fuming.

"SO WHAT?!" Dipper screamed, possibly catching the attention of everyone around him, even Mabel. "So what if I want to go to a party? I want to be cool like them!" Danny looked behind Dipper to see Mabel, hurt written all over her face.

"You're going to a party?" Mabel asked as Dipper turned around to see her as realization dawned on him.

"Well, hey, I —" Mabel threw the last piece of candy at him. Danny knew when to say nothing. This was Dipper's fault and he had to fix it. Danny couldn't rescue him from his own fate. You've made your bed, now lie in it.

"That's why you were acting so weird and trying to hurry us! You're not sick at all! So if it wasn't for this crazy monster, you were gonna ditch me! On our favorite holiday!" Mabel said as Dipper became quiet.

"What happened to the Dipper who used to love Halloween?!" Mabel looked around and Danny looked for the candy. Where was the candy? "And where's all the candy?!" Danny looked to Dipper who had a smug face.

"Relax, relax. I left it right here. Behind this bush." Dipper said moving the bush aside. Danny ran a hand through his hair out of irritation as he watched the candy float away in a gorge. "Oh no…" Dipper turned to Mabel who now was crying.

"What did you do!?" Danny had to step in between them before Mabel or Dipper did something they were going to regret.

"Well, I-pch I-!" Danny looked around to see jack-o-melons being blown out one by one. They were running out of time and quickly. Getting five hundred pieces of candy was going to be impossible if he didn't dig out the candy before the Trickster came. Danny sent out an invisible clone to the gorge to try and collect all the candy. Maybe that would appease him.

"Uh, guys?" Grenda said catching the twins' attention and pointed to the people blowing out jack-o-melons.

"Oh no! All the jack-o-melons are out!" Mabel said, her anger at Dipper all forgotten.

"Look!" Dipper pointed to an old crazy man who was holding a jack-o-melon.

"Ehehe! Good night!" Danny heard the old man say as he rushed over. He didn't hear the others try to stop the man as the old man dodged out of Danny's reach. All he had to wonder was how he moved out of the way so quickly. The old man crackled as Danny glared at him.

"I'm Old Man McGucket!" McGucket said a he inhaled, but Grenda rammed into him. Danny had to wonder if she was some kind of mutant. To be honest, he wasn't really using his powers. She grabbed the jack-o-melon as McGucket climbed over the cars like some possessed child.

"Phew, that was close." Dipper said as a wind blew out the candle and Danny was ready. His hand was already on the hilt of his blade and slowly drew it out.

"Knock knock." Danny narrowed his eyes as the Trickers walked up to them ominously. "So children. Where's my candy?" Danny stood right in front of everyone, narrowing his eyes at the monster before Danny's sensitive nose caught a whiff of something sweet. Almost like...

"Candy?" Danny whispered as Dipper tried to appease the Trickster. Danny looked at the Trickster and saw anger written all over his face. Dipper threw candy at eh Trickster who absorbed it. Danny's observations were correct. "Go! Run!" Everyone got into action and started to run around the Trickster with him following them.

"AAAHHH!" Candy screamed as the Trickster grabbed her. Danny fully unsheathed his weapon as he pointed it at the Trickster.

"Let her go." Danny commanded as he grabbed Mabel.

"Danny! Dipper!" That spurred Danny on to swing his sword at his arms successful cutting them off. The Trickster let go of Mabel and Candy and Danny got them safely out of harm's way as a truck rammed into the Trickster.

Danny looked to see Sood behind the steering wheel. Danny has never been happier to see Soos, even though they just met.

"That wasn't like, a regular pedestrian, was it?" Soos asked as Mabel shook her head. Danny crowded the children into the car while he hopped into the back of the truck.

"It was the monster!" Mabel said as Dipper buckled in.

"Thanks, Soos. Phew. I'm just glad it's over, right?" Dipper said as Mabel glared at him.

"We gotta go, Soos." Danny said as Soos started to drive away.

"Let's go!" Soos said as Danny looked to see if the Trickster was following them. So far, no sight of him. Danny looked up front to see Mabel rubbing her arm. She did fall pretty hard from the Trickster.

"Hey, are you okay?" Dipper asked as Mabel turned away. "There's probably some bandages back at the Shack." Then Danny heard it. He turned around to see the Trickster reforming as Danny tapped the side of the truck.

"Soos! Drive faster!" Soos punched it and swerved to the side, but not enough time to pull on the breaks as they hit the Summerween Superstore. Damn! They were cornered.

Everyone got out of the truck as Danny tightened his grip on his sword.

"We have to hide!" Dipper said as Danny hung out with Mabel and Dipper.

"It's blocking the only exit. Everyone, stay quiet!" Dipper said as if it wasn't the most obvious thing ever.

"Dipper, we get it!" Danny whispered as he watched the Trickster.

"Oh, so now you're worried about the monster. I thought all you cared about was Wendy." Mabel said as Dipper looked flabbergasted.

"Uh, guys. Do we really have to do this right now?" But Danny's question fell on deaf ears.

"Mabel, you know that's not true. I just felt like I was getting a little too old to go trick-or-treating." Dipper said as Danny turned to the twin. Was he really being serious? Did he not hear a word that Danny had said to Robbie for like the entire night?

"That's exactly why we need to go trick-or-treating, Dipper! We're getting older, there's not that many Halloweens left! I guess I didn't realize it was already our last one." Mabel said looking down. The Trickster was still looking around for them. Maybe this was a good time as ever to get his lesson through their thick skulls.

"Dipper, Mabel." Danny started looking at the twins. "Growing up is a part of life. If you don't grow up, you'll never enjoy the times you had as a child. And Dipper , Mabel is right. You are getting older, but that doesn't mean you can ditch her for some stupid party." Dipper looked down as Mabel looked at her brother.

"We all have to grow up sometime. Even if it means that some of us have to grow up faster than others." Danny remembered Youngblood and how he had to bring back the immaturity in his older sister.

"I had a sister once and I regret not spending enough time together. My parents weren't around much so we had to grow up pretty fast. But I don't have that luxury to be childish anymore. You do. You both do." Danny looked at the twins.

"Look after each other and I'm sure that you two, will be just fine." Danny smiled at them as they smiled back.

"Thanks, Danny." The twins said as Danny nodded.

"Good. Now we need to get out of here before he spots us." Danny looked around as Candy and Grenda we're talking amongst themselves.

"If only there was something we could use to cover our bodies and faces with. You know, like a disguise of some kind." Soos said as Danny smiled at Soos.

"Brilliant Idea!" As they all walked towards the costume aisle. Once they were in another costume they began to sneak around the Trickster.

"This way! Almost there!" Dipper said as he turned around. At the same time, Danny turned around see Soos at the talking skull. For god's sake! "Soos!" They all tries to get Soos to stop like the idiotic person he is.

"Sorry dude, today's been way too stressful. I need some levity." Soos said as Danny started to move a bit closer to Soos.

"Soos, you're going to get us killed!" Danny said as Soos began to reach for a pack of batteries. "Soos!" Danny tried to swipe for thee batteries, but Soos already stuck them inside of the skull.

"No matter the score, I'm always a-head! Nyaha nyaha!" That was the cheesiest joke Danny had ever heard.

"This cackling head's the voice of a generation!" Soos said as the Trickster closed in on Soo and are him in or swoop.

"Soos!" Everyone yelled as they all tried to attack the Trickster.

"Guys! He's made out of candy!" Danny said as Grenda but into him.

"He's right. Ugh, black licorice." Grenda said as the Trickster started laughing.

"I was wondering how long it would take for someone to notice me." He said looking at them. "Look at my face! Look closely." Then he took off the mask he had to reveal a candy face.

"Loser candy!" Mabel screamed out as the Trickster nodded.

"That's right! Did you ever stop and think about the candy at the bottom of the bag that no one likes? Every year the children of Gravity Falls throw away all of the 'REJECTED' candy into the dump." Danny shook his head. He was right. Will power always started everything. Especially revenge. Revenge was the prone device to start mysteries like this.

"So I seek revenge; revenge on the picky children who cast me aside. I'm made of every tossed piece of black licorice, every discarded bar of old chocolate with like that white, powder stuff on it. You know that stuff!" Danny blinked. What was he talking about.

"I hate that stuff!" Mabel said as the Trickster narrowed its eyes.

"No one would eat me. But now, I'm going to eat you." The Trickster launched forwards, but was stopped by a sound that he and Danny could hear. "What is that?" Then a wild Soos popped out of his belly, scaring everyone except for Danny.

"Sup, bro." The only thing a person says after getting eaten. Danny was just about done. "Dudes, you want some of this?" Everyone shook their heads.

"Wait, you actually think I taste good?" The Trickster asked as Soos nodded.

"Uh, Stsure! You know." Soos said as the Trickster started crying candy corn.

"All I've ever wanted is for someone to say that I was... good." Danny understood the feeling. "I'm so happy." Danny reaches down and took a piece of candy corn.

"I don't know about you guys, but I love candy corn." Grenda, Candy, Dipper, and Mabel cringed at him.

"Crying makes it a little weird, but, guess I'm still eating." Danny chuckled as he hustled the kids in the truck. Then he doubled over in pain as the child form earlier popped out of the Trickster.

"Soos, can you take them home. My stomach feels a bit queasy. I'll meet you guys back at the shack." Soos nodded as the child left and Dipper stared at Danny. But Danny didn't notice as Dipper noticed Danny's eyes flash green.

"Wait can I stay here you, Danny?" Dipper asked, overly suspicious once more. Danny easily sensed onto Dipper's plan.

"Dipper go back to the shack. I need to use the restroom." Mabel pulled on Dipper's arm, successfully pulling him away. Danny watched the truck pull away as Dipper stared at him from the truck until it turned the corner. Danny's happy smile disappeared as he turned to the Trickster.

"I know you're still alive." Danny looked down at the head of candy which began to laugh.

"I cannot hide from you, King Phantom. Can I?" The Trickster asked as Danny narrowed his eyes.

"How do you know who I am?" The Trickster smiled as he waved his hands in a dramatic way.

"They have been whispering. Waiting… for you." Danny could hide his curiosity.

"Who?" The Trickster smiled.

"The Ciphers…"


Everyone went to sleep with a satisfied Stan and a happy Mabel. Only person awake was Dipper as he flipped through the pages of his journal. Each one holding a different creature until he reached the last page. There was a picture of a very familiar person.

"Phantom. High King of all ghosts and the Infinite realms. Highly unpredictable as well as powerful. Also known as-"

THUMP*

Dipper fell back in his bed, unconscious as the journal fell to the floor. A hand picked up the book and flipped to the page that Dipper was just on.

RRRRIIIIIPPPPP*

The page floated into the air and ignited into a green fire until it was burnt to nothing.

"Too soon. Much too soon." Green eyes glowed in the darkness as they sunk deeper and deeper into the floor. "All in due time."

"All in due time."


So... How was it? I think I did a pretty good job at the ending since I rehearsed it in the shower. Don't make fun of me! I think everyone does it.

But just to be clear... I got into Iowa Stare University on Saturday! I can finally leave California and my crazy ass mom! Yay!

But still you know, gotta wait til March. Sigh...

aquestionablepresence: why thank you I always thought that Gravity Falls was always about the importance of Family. But thanks!

Bellmitch Kritznovah: Well... to be honest. I can't answer all of those questions because they're going to be used later in the book or series. Which ever comes first. But I've been acting out the scene when Ford and Danny meet. I've got something crazy planned for that.

One last thing! For those of you who are miraculous ladybug fans. I have a posted a new story with a DP and ladybug crossover. It is completely different from this series and it's a Danny x Marinette ship. So just be warned.

Good luck everyone and hope that you have a great rest of the school year. Also Don't forget to review!. Ciao!
