The Weirdmageddon Epilogue: Don't be Specifica with Pacifica!

by Thebriefcase101

Almost one year has passed since Weirdmageddon. Dipper and Mabel returns to Gravity Falls to stay for two weeks to catch up with their old friends. But what has also catched up with Dipper is his "teen-hormones" with a desire to have a girlfriend. If only there was one rich, fake blonde girl who could fix that problem...

[In the valleys of Oakland, California, the morning sun shines over the small town Piedmont. The flares strikes over a red house with garden gnomes located everywhere in the garden, including a pool filled with mud also sitting there.]

[Fading to inside, as the camera travels through the upstairs hallway, we can see a bunch of pictures of recurring characters who has been nailed up there with pins; Wendy, Soos, Pacifica, Grunkle Stan and so on. Titled "Memory lane" with capital letters in pink, gross glitter sprayed all over them, it was obviously designed by Mabel.]

[Finally, the camera fades into the twins' bedroom. It shows Dipper and Mabel sleeping on separate sides of the bedroom, with Waddles sleeping curled up under Mabel's arm. Dipper's side of the bedroom is filled with science props and astrology posters, while Mabel's side is filled with stuffed animals and posters of kittens.]

[The morning sun shines in through the windows and strikes Dipper in the face. He wakes up in a haste.]

Dipper: (Sits up excitedly) IT'S FINALLY TIME!!!

Mabel: WAAAH!!

[Mabel gets startled and flies off her bed onto the floor. Waddles squeals and runs away.]

Mabel: (Stands up, rubbing her eyes) Awh, Dipper! It's the first day of summer... Why would you–

[Dipper jumps off his bed and starts shaking Mabel by the shoulders rapidly.]

Dipper: (Thrilled) Mabel! If it's summer break, then you know what that means!

[Mabel shines up in realization.]

Mabel: (Gasps) You're kidding...

Dipper: (Cheekily) I'm not kidding!

[Mabel lets go of Dipper. She takes a deep breath and then...]

Mabel: AAAAHHHH!!!

[Dipper joins in on Mabel's screams of happiness.]

Dipper: AAAAHHH!!!

Mabel: AAAAHHHH!!!

Dipper: AAAAAHHH!!!

Mabel: AAAAHHH!!!

Dipper: AAAAHHH!!!

[It cuts to Mabel jumping up and down on her bed, completely alert and full of energy.]

Mabel: (Unable to contain excitement) Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh! OHMYGOSH!!

[Dipper runs by then halts, posing, pointing upwards towards the ceiling.]

Dipper: (Triumphed) We are packing our bags, mom and dad! Because we are returning to GRAVITY FA–

[Suddenly, the screen pauses on dipper. Another Dipper starts to narrate.]

Narrating Dipper: This... is me. Depending on how good your memory span is, you may or may not remember me. L-let me give you a heads up!

[The show unpauses again as it cuts to the living room, decorated with white tapestry and colorful furniture. Dipper and Mabel comes running down the stairs with their backpacks. Dipper continues to narrate.]

Narrating Dipper: We are the twin siblings Dipper and Mabel...

[Dipper and Mabel are seen running around the living room, shoving everything they can find on shelves and tables into their backpacks, in a hurry.]

Narrating Dipper (Continuing): ...and our story goes back over a year ago when we got sent to this mysterious place called "Gravity Falls" in Oregon to work for my great uncle in his tourist attraction!

Dipper: (Stressed) Hurry! The bus leaves in only an hour from now!!

[Mabel runs by the table.]

Mabel: (Shouts) Mom!! Where did you put Waddles' dry food!?

[No answer.]

Mabel: (Louder) Mom!!??

[Mabel runs down the hallway and smashes open the door to her parents' bedroom.]

Mabel: Mom!!

[Mabel gets surprised over seeing the bedroom completely empty. On her parents' bed a note is seen.]

[Mabel walks up to the bed, picks up the note and reads it.]

Note: "Waddles' food is under the fridge. Have fun in Gravity Falls!"

Mabel: (Flatly) Huh. Well that's inconvenient...

[Scene cuts to the bus stop right outside the Pines' house. Dipper and Mabel are standing there fully prepared for their trip with their bags along with Waddles. Dipper is wearing Wendy's hat that she gave him one year back.]

Narrating Dipper: In Gravity Falls, we also met some very strange creatures along our adventure. And in conclusion, we had to save the world from eternal agony by an evil, one-eyed demon...

[Mabel is seen licking a lollipop hurriedly next to Dipper as the camera cuts closer to them.]

Mabel: Nom, nom, nom! (Looks at Dipper) Hey, I found a dirty popsicle while packing my stuff! You want it?

Dipper: (Disgusted) Ugh! Nah, I'm good!

Mabel: (Snort laughs) Nghahah! I can't wait to see how tall everyone has become! They must be like twice, thrice or even FRICE their length now!

Dipper: (Laughs awkwardly) Haha, yeah...

[Dipper winces and looks down at the asphalt, gloomy. His phone then suddenly vibrates.]

Narrating Dipper: But apart from our mischievous adventures, we also made some great friends along the way...

[Dipper takes out his new cellphone. On the screen, we see a text message from Wendy saying "Can't wait to trade our hats back! XD" along with a selfie of her wearing Dipper's iconic blue and white cap.]

[Upon seeing this, Dipper smiles sweetly to himself.]

Narrating Dipper (Continuing): ... Some, that we are now very close to.

(Tssss...)

[The bus has arrived, as it parks in front of Dipper and Mabel. The bus doors open.]

Bus Driver: (Into intercom) First bus to Oregon leaving now. Everyone onboard...

Mabel: Hehe, yeah!

Dipper: Alright!

[Dipper and Mabel runs onboard with Waddles right behind them. They make it to the very back of the bus and sits closely to one another.]

Dipper: (Sighs) This is actually happening...

Mabel: I can barely even contain my excitement... (Angrily) C'MON, BUS!! START DRIVING ALREADY!!

[Mabel starts punching the window with her fists weakly. Dipper grabs a hold of her arms.]

Dipper: (Nervously) Okay, okay-- That's enough now! Ehehehe...

(Tssss...)

[Cuts to outside. The bus drives off as the doors closes.]

Narraring Dipper: And so, we were off. Back to the wonderland of mysteriousness! Where people get tased in the back if they mention the apocalypse.

[We get far away shots as the bus travels through Oregon's thick woodlands.]

Narrating Dipper: So I wonder... What unnatural events would happen to us next, on this two-week visit?

[Camera cuts back inside the bus. Mabel is now looking at her nails, which are polished in rainbow stripes.]

Mabel: Oh, man! Candy and Grenda are gonna freak out when they see what I have done with my nails! (To Dipper) What did you bring from home??

[Dipper looks at Mabel.]

Dipper: (Smirks) Well, I'm glad you asked, sis! Because I, am gonna show Great Uncle Ford this little treasure!

[Dipper reveals a familiar book from inside his vest. Surprisingly, the book happens to be Journal 3.]

Mabel: (Exclaims) Whoaaa... Where did you get that book!? I thought all the journals got destroyed in the apocalypse!

Dipper: Nuh uh, sister! This is an exact copy of the journal! (Riffles through the pages) I read through the book so many times last year that I memorized every page and redrew them myself in my own journal!

[Mabel leans over her bus seat, close to Dipper's face.]

Mabel: That's amazing! ... (Unsurely) But isn't it also extremely dangerous...?

Dipper: (Nonchalantly) Don't worry, I skipped all the pages that had information about Bill Cipher on them! I mean, we wouldn't want someone to accidentally summon him back into this world again, right!?

[Dipper thinks back on Bill Cipher. His voice can be heard inside his head.]

Bill Cipher: (Echoing) Aa-hahaha! Ahahaha! HAA-HAHAHAHA!! HAAA!!!

[Bill's maniacal laughter disappears.]

Dipper: (Shudders) Jeesh! I still think back on how frightening he used to be...

Mabel: Aw, don't worry! You'll forget about him when we arrive in Gravity Falls!

[Silence.]

Mabel (Continuing): (Gasps) Speaking of which, we're here!!

[Dipper and Mabel looks out the window and sees the "Welcome to GRAVITY FALLS" sign as they drive by.]

Mabel: Hehahahaha!!

[Dipper and Mabel laughs with eachother, even more excited than before.]

[Cuts to outside. A squirrel is seen strolling over the road, then jumps out of the way as the bus drives by.]

Narrating Dipper: And the good news for us is that Grunkle Stan and Grunkle Ford are back from their sailing trip temporarily to finally get to meet us again!

[Out the window, Dipper sees a newly raised statue of Stanley and Stanford Pines made in stone. On a golden plate, the following text is written: "Dedicated to Gravity Falls' heroes: Stanley and Stanford Pines. We will never forget your contribution."]

[It then cuts to where Dipper and Mabel said goodbye to everyone last time - By the bus stop out in the forest. Oddly enough, no one seems to be there to meet them as shown.]

[The bus stops by the location. Dipper and Mabel alights onto the ground along with Waddles right behind them.]

Bus driver: (Tips hat) Enjoy your stay here in Oregon!

(Tsss...)

[The bus doors closes and the bus drives off, leaving Dipper and Mabel behind with confused expressions.]

...

[The silence surrounds the twins as birds are heard chirping in the distance.]

Dipper: Where... is everybody?

Mabel: I don't know... Maybe they're working still?

Dipper: Nah, I'm pretty sure they'd take the day off for our sakes.

Mabel: So why are they not here, then?

[Out of rage, Dipper throws his backpack on the ground.]

Dipper: (Furious) ARGH!! I can't believe it! What was even the point of coming here, when there is no one here to WELCOME US!?! --

(SPLAT!)

[Suddenly, Dipper gets hit with a water balloon out of nowhere. It explodes right in his face.]

Dipper: BLARGH!! Huh– What!?

[Wendy and Soos emerges from the bushes, both carrying water balloons.]

Wendy: We're right here, you knuckleheads!!

[Wendy and Soos throws more water balloons at the twins. One hits Dipper in the head, the other hits Mabel in the stomach.]

Dipper: (Smiles) OW!! C'mon, stop it, you guys!

[Dipper and Mabel runs away from the rain of water balloons following them, laughing. They dive into a bush further away from Wendy and Soos.]

...

[Then out of the bush, Grunkle Stan emerges, now carrying the kids as they sit on both his shoulders.]

Grunkle Stan: Kids!!

Dipper and Mabel: (Together) Grunkle Stan!!

[Dipper and Mabel both hugs Grunkle Stan's face joyfully. Stanley then steps out of the bush, puts down Dipper and Mabel on the ground and hugs them closely.]

Grunkle Stan: Awh, you two have no idea how much I've missed ya! Even though you two were a nuisance last year, I've been thinking about you two every day!

[Grunkle Stan loosens his grip around them to take a look at their faces. He sees Dipper and Mabel both tearing up.]

Mabel: (Sniffles) We've been t-thinking about you too...

[Grunkle Stan hugs them again, now even harder.]

Grunkle Stan: (Sweetly) Awh! Don't cry, my sweet little baby angels!

Stanford: Mind if I join in on the group hug?

[Dipper and Mabel looks over at where the voice was heard from. They see that Stanford has arrived at the scene.]

Dipper and Mabel: (Gasps) Great Uncle Ford!!

[Dipper and Mabel runs over to Stanford and hugs him around the waist with a tight grip.]

Stanford: (Grunts) Yeaow! Hehehe, watch my hip replacement there, kiddos!

[Stanford kneels down to Dipper and Mabel and puts his hands on their shoulders.]

Stanford: You two must have so much to tell me! Tell me everything that's on your mind, I'm all ears!

[Dipper looks to his left, worriedly.]

Dipper: (Unsurely) Well, there is one thing that I've wanted to show you, actually... (He takes out journal 3) ...And it's this.

[Stanford grabs the journal from Dipper and stands up straight.]

Stanford: (Surprised) Impossible! I thought all of my journals got destroyed in Weirdmageddon! (Looks at Dipper) How did you manage to retrieve it??

[Mabel runs away from Dipper and Stanford out of frame.]

Dipper: (Rubs arm) Well, actually... I didn't. Funny thing is, I actually rewrote it myself from what I could remember. And I'm planning on finishing it, too.

Stanford: What!? Are you telling me that you rewrote my entire journal using only your memory??

Dipper: (Twiddles fingers, embarrassed) Yeah... I-I hope you're not mad at me for stealing your work...

Stanford: (Riffles through pages) Of course I'm not mad, this is astounding! It's even better than what I wrote down!

Dipper: (Shines up) Wait... You really think that?

[Stanford kneels down to Dipper again and puts an arm on his shoulder.]

Stanford: Dipper, this journal proves that you have an unusually strong mind-palace, even stronger than mine! You're gonna go far with that talent. I can already see your future in front of me!

[Dipper smiles proudly at Stanford.]

[It cuts to Mabel as she runs up to soos, happily.]

Mabel: Soos!

Soos: Mabel!

[Mabel and Soos hugs eachother.]

Soos: Or wait, was it Maple? Like the syrup? Sorry, this work has been bugging me out lately, dude!

[Mabel lets go of Soos and pokes him in the stomach.]

Mabel: Boop!

Soos: Ahahaha! Do it again!

[Soos rolls up his shirt, showing his stomach. Mabel pokes him again.]

Mabel: Boop!

Soos: Hahahaha! It's even better the second time!

[Mabel pokes him again.]

Mabel: Boop!

Soos: (Unamused) ... Okay, it's not ticklish anymore.

Mabel: (Rolls up her shirt, showing her stomach) Do it on me, now!

[It cuts back to Dipper, as he's standing alone watching everyone interact with eachother.]

Wendy: Forgotten about me, big champ?

[Dipper looks up and sees Wendy standing in front of him.]

Dipper: (Nervously) Wendy!?! Ehehe... I'm sorry, I-I completely forgot that you were h–

[Wendy squats down to Dipper's height and hugs him, making him go quiet.]

Wendy: It's good to have you back, man!

[Dipper is shocked at first, but then he gives in and hugs her back, leaning his head on her shoulder.]

Wendy: Whoopsie!

[Wendy snatches her trapper hat from Dipper's head.]

Dipper: (Smiles) What the– Hey!!

[Wendy giggles mischievously as she takes off Dipper's cap she had on her head, putting on her trapper hat. She then puts Dipper's cap back on his head.]

Wendy: (Smiles) Don't worry, you'll get my hat back again in two weeks! Also, your hat might smell like sweat, since I've been using it for woodchopping alot...

Dipper: Pshh! I don't mind!

[Dipper and Wendy laughs together.]

Dipper: But seriously, though, that's kinda gross...

---

[Next scene starts by showing the outside of the Mystery Shack. Dipper narrates.]

Narrating Dipper: Ah! The Mystery Shack! It might not seem like much, but it's always been close to my heart...

[It fades to inside the gift shop. Dipper is seen being on register duty by the counter, bored out of his mind.]

Narrating Dipper: Just like last time, the first day was nothing but tedious and boring... But I was somewhat happy about that...

[Dipper checks around if no one is looking at him. He then opens the cash register, steals a dollar bill and puts it in his back pocket.]

Narrating Dipper (Continuing): ...Because this time I was actually getting paid from it.

[It cuts to Soos. He is dressed in Stan's suit, as he runs the shack. He walks up to a shelf, grabs a box and starts waddling with it to the other side of the store.]

Narrating Dipper: And it was fun watching Soos being clumsy at his new job as boss. Although, he might just be a liiittle bit extreme about his new "Stan" persona...

[Soos bumps into a blonde kid. His clumsiness makes the kid drop his ice cream cone.]

Soos: Awh, dude! Sorry, kid!

[The kid starts breaking out in tears. He then cries out loud.]

Blonde kid: WAAHUHU!!

[Soos puts the box on the ground and squats down to the little kid.]

Soos: No, no, no! Stop crying! (Takes out a dollar bill) Here, have your exchange back!

[The kid tries to grab the dollar bill, but Soos retracts his hand away from him.]

Soos: Just kidding! Get out of my store, I'm banning you for littering, dude!

[The kid runs out the exit, sobbing.]

[It cuts to Grunkle Stan sitting leisurely in a sunchair out on the porch in the backyard. He's wearing nothing but shorts and a tank top.]

Narrating Dipper: And now when Grunkle Stan has retired, there was barely anyone working in the tourist trap anymore. Now he just sits there in his chair scratching his back or... whatever...

Grunkle Stan: (Relaxed) Ah! Nothing like being retired and being able to scream at tourists not attending my attraction!

[Stan takes a sip out of his soda.]

Grunkle Stan: GET OFF MY PROPERTY, YOU CHEAPSKATES!!!

[Some tourists being present by the lawn gets frightened by Grunkle Stan and runs deep into the woods.]

Grunkle Stan: Ha ha ha, ha ha!!

[Back in the gift shop again, Wendy is on tour guide duty, showing a crowd of tourists around.]

Narrating Dipper: Luckily for us, Wendy came up with a brilliant plan to hire her own crew to the firm. It isn't much, but at least it's something...

[Wendy walks up to an object covered in a sheet.]

Wendy: (Dramatically) Now behind this sheet, the most unpredictable creature on Earth is hidden! Heartbroken enough to bring nightmares to himself and others, I present to you: The terrifying emo!!

[Wendy removes the sheet. Behind the sheet, Robbie is revealed to be sitting in a cage, frowning.]

Tourist 1: How magnificent!

Tourist 2: That's the most terrifying thing I've ever seen!

[The tourists starts taking pictures of Robbie. Robbie responds by frowning even harder.]

Robbie: I hate this job...

[Back at the counter, Lee, Wendy's friend, walks up to Dipper.]

Lee: Wassup, Dipster! Up top!?

[Lee raises his hand for a high-five.]

Dipper: (Smiles) Up top like always, Lee!

[Dipper and Lee does a high-five together.]

Lee: Man, I can't believe that you're only gonna be here two weeks! I thought you and I would spend the entire summer smashing mailboxes with baseball bats!

Dipper: (Smugly) Yeah, but y'know, if I have friends both here and in California, then I can't be in two places at once! I have to split it up in order to make it fair!

Lee: (Nods) I like your thinking, Amigo! Keep it up!

[Lee walks away.]

Dipper: Thanks, Lee!

[Dipper then winces, looking down into the table.]

(Click!)

[The screen pauses again. Dipper narrates.]

Narrating Dipper: (Mockingly) Yeah, Dipper, you have friends now "everywhere"! But oh yeah, of course you forgot one little, tiny detail...

[Screen unpauses again. It reveals that Dipper is looking at a picture of Wendy laying on the counter.]

Narrating Dipper: ...You still don't have a girlfriend.

[Dipper sighs and hangs his head depressedly, closing his eyes.]

Wendy: Hey, Dipper!

Dipper: (Yelps) AHH!! I'M AWAKE!!

[Dipper sits up straight like a pole. Wendy is now standing by the counter. Mabel is right behind her, observing them curiously.]

Wendy: (Laughs) Whoa, someone's a sleepyhead! Been working too hard?

Dipper: (Nervously) N-no, heh- I-I was just um– (Clears throat, acts cool) I was just resting my eyeballs, no big deal...

Wendy: Cool! You can do that without sleeping?

Dipper: (Awkwardly) Hehe, yeah... Just an old trick little ol' Dipster learned...

Wendy: Anyways, I'm heading out for a while to buy some stuff for your "Return party". Do you mind taking my spot for a while?

Dipper: (Nonchalant) Pshh! Of course I don't mind! I'd love taking anyone's spot for you any day!

[Dipper facepalms upon realizing what he just said. Wendy stares at him confused.]

Wendy: Um... Alright, then! Guess I'll see you later!

[Wendy walks towards the exit.]

Dipper: (Waves) Bye, Wendy!

[Wendy exits the shack with the door chime being heard as she walks out. When she disappears, Dipper face-plant his head on the desk.]

Dipper: (Muffled) Awwwww...

[Mabel notices Dipper's whining. She gets a determined look on her face and jumps up onto the counter.]

Mabel: (Sighs) Please don't tell me what I think just happened...

Dipper: (Muffled) What is it now...?

Mabel: Bro, I know that something isn't right when I see it! Do you still have a thing about Wendy after all these months??

Dipper: (Lifts head up) What!? No! I-- ... (Defated sigh) Okay fine, maybe just a little bit!

Mabel: (Frustrated sigh) Again with this nonsense?? Are you kidding me!?

Dipper: Well I'm sorry, alright!? It's just... As soon as we arrived here, it's like some thing from the past awakened inside of me. I started to forget about her, but after arriving here again, I just can't!

Mabel: (Seriously) Dipper, this is a wake-up call! It's time that you get back out there and meet other girls! Alright!? Because this behavior is making you fall apart!!

Dipper: (Shrugs) But with who?? Apart from you, Wendy is the only female friend that I have...

[Mabel points towards the exit.]

Mabel: Dipper, I'm serious right now! The first woman your age that walks through that door, you're getting back in the game with!

[Suddenly, Wendy comes back, opening said entrance forcefully.]

Wendy: Guys! You'll never guess who I just bumped into outside!

[Wendy moves out of the way and reveals Pacifica standing behind her outside, frowning seriously. A dramatic trumpet plays as the camera zooms in on her.]

[Dipper and Mabel stares at her with their mouths agape in fright. The screen pauses again. Dipper narrates.]

Narrating Dipper: And that was the moment everything changed. The moment when she came along...

[The screen unpauses.]

Dipper: Uh oh...

---

[The "Gravity Falls" opening plays.]

---

[Scene continues back at the mystery shack's gift shop where they left off. Dipper and Mabel are standing together in the middle of the room facing Pacifica.]

Pacifica: (Glares) Mabel!

[Mabel glares angrily back at Pacifica.]

Mabel: Pacifica!

[Pacifica enters the store. She and Mabel starts walking towards eachother with slow steps.]

[Stanley then comes barging through the door from the living room.]

Grunkle Stan: My senses are telling me that a brawl is brewing! Quick, everyone take cover!!

[All the customers in the shop jumps aside to make room for Mabel and Pacifica. Dipper and Grunkle Stan runs to the right and takes cover behind some boxes.]

[Mabel and Pacifica strolls over so that they are now standing face-to-face. They start to growl at eachother.]

Pacifica: Grrrrrr!

Mabel: Grrrrr!!

[Stan takes out a camera recorder and starts filming the girls.]

Grunkle Stan: This is gonna be good!

[Mabel and Pacifica continues staring eachother down.]

Mabel: Pff! BAHAHAHA–

Pacifica: Ahahahaha–!!

[Mabel and Pacifica are unable to keep it together and instead breaks into a fit of laughter.]

Pacifica: (Wipes off tear) Oh, you should have SEEN your face when I walked into the store! Bahaha–!!

Mabel: Come here, you!

[Mabel and Pacifica shares a hug together, sweetly. Grunkle Stan and Dipper are now frozen in shock.]

Dipper: What the– What just happened???

[Mabel and Pacifica stops hugging.]

Pacifica: (Excited) O.M.G, I love what you have done with your hair!

Mabel: (Blushing) Oh stop it, Pacifica! It's the same as it has always been!

Pacifica: Well it almost looks better than mine! (Whispers aside to Mabel) Tell me your secrets before I leave, alright?

[Grunkle Stan stands up.]

Grunkle Stan: (Angrily) Awh, girl talk!?! Booo, get better material!! Alright, coast is clear everyone, you can come out!

[All the customers and tourists are seen using props as cover, including lamps and souvenirs. They all drop it to the ground and starts leaving the store.]

Tyler: (Sadly) Aw, but I really wanted them to get em'!

Grunkle Stan: Sorry, Mayor Cutebiker, but we're closing now! Better luck next time...

Tyler: Awwwww...

[Tyler leaves the shop, hanging his head.]

[It cuts back to Pacifica and Mabel.]

Pacifica: Oh yeah, I heard you're hosting a party for your return in a few days! Have you planned on inviting me to it? (Embarrassed) ...Even though I treated you like garbage before...?

Mabel: (Nonchalant) Don't worry, you're already on my list! The invites aren't done yet, but you'll be receiving yours when they're finished!

[Pacifica smiles warmly.]

Pacifica: Thanks, mabel. See you around until then!

Mabel: Bye!

[Pacifica turns around and starts walking towards the exit. Dipper also comes into the picture as he walks up next to Mabel.]

Mabel: (To Dipper) Sorry about that, we write letters sometimes!

Dipper: Yeah! I'm surprised over how good friends you two are now!

[Hearing Dipper talk, Pacifica halts and turns back around again.]

Pacifica: (Excitedly) Dipper!!

Dipper: Wha–

[Pacifica runs to Dipper and throws herself into his arms, hugging him. Dipper is completely still again in shock.]

Pacifica: Ohh, it is so great to see you!

[In the background, Mabel gets a huge, blissful grin on her face as she sees Pacifica hugging Dipper.]

Dipper: Y-yeah... It's good to see you too, Pacifica!

[Pacifica stops hugging Dipper.]

Pacifica: Oh my gosh, I have, like, SO much to tell you! I started my own research about the mysterious Gravity Falls creatures living in the forest, like you used to do! And I've found so much weird stuff you might want to check!

Dipper: (Surprised) W-wait... You did?

Pacifica: Yeah! You should like, TOTALLY come over today and meet me in the woods, and we can discuss more about it! (Blushes) Only if you want, of course...

[Dipper rubs the back of his head.]

Dipper: (Awkwardly) That... sounds great, Pacifica, but... I have to work today. We have alot to fix for the party in a few days, so I'm gonna be very occupied!

Pacifica: Oh... okay. (Cheerfully) Well, don't beat yourself up too hard!

Dipper: (Chuckles) Haha, I'll try not to! With these noodle arms, anything can happen!

[Dipper and Pacifica starts laughing with eachother.]

Pacifica: Hahaha, you're such a dork!

[Pacifica turns around and walks towards the exit.]

Dipper: See ya!

[Dipper's smiles fade into a blank stare of worry. Pacifica makes it outside.]

Pacifica: (Snaps fingers) Chaffeur!!

[A white limo pulls up to the porch with an open door for her. Pacifica enters and the limo drives away.]

[After Pacifica is out of the picture, Mabel runs up to Dipper and jumps up and down repeatedly.]

Mabel: (Excited) Oh my gosh! OH MY GOSH, Dipper!! I saw the whole thing! Pacifica was SO into you! It was almost like she was in love– MMPH!?!

[Dipper covers Mabel's mouth and drags her across the floor into the living room. He shuts the door behind them.]

[Dipper stops covering her mouth.]

Mabel: (Finishes sentence) –In love with you!! Pacifica is in LOVE with you!! Also I drooled on your hand while you were covering my mouth.

Dipper: (Checks right hand, now covered in saliva) AAHH!!

[Dipper wipes off the saliva on his shirt.]

Dipper: (Annoyed) Mabel, why do you always assume that whenever a girl talks to me, she is automatically interested in me!?! Pacifica was probably just in a good mood or something!

Mabel: The signs were so obvious! The hug, the small talk, the invitation over to her house... It was all in there! But why did you reject her, bro??

Dipper: (Frustrated) Because I don't trust Pacifica! She's the most "High horse" person in all of Gravity Falls! I'd rather choke myself than spending time with her!

Mabel: Aw come on, even after the Northwest Ceremony!? You gotta admit that you like her a little bit after that!

[Dipper folds his arms and faces away from Mabel.]

Mabel: (Nudges Dipper with elbow) Come on, admit it!

[No answer.]

Mabel: (Starts tickling Dipper) Come on!

Dipper: (Laughs) Ahahaha! Stop! You're gonna give me body spasms!!

[Suddenly, Dipper's phone falls out from his vest onto the floor.]

Dipper: (Gasps) My phone!!

[Dipper runs up to it, but Mabel snatches the phone before he can reach it.]

Mabel: Yoink!

Dipper: What the–!? Hey!!

[Mabel starts swiping through Dipper's personal stuff on his device.]

Mabel: You've been chatting with Pacifica all this time and you haven't even told me!? No wonder she was so interested in you!

Dipper: (Snatches phone back) Give me that!!

[Dipper puts it back inside his vest.]

Dipper: (Reluctant) Fine, you got me! We've been talking from time to time via text message, but I've done the same with like, everyone else here! Even if she's interested in me, I'll just swat her out of my life like a mosquito!

Mabel: C'mon Dipper, this is your chance to finally get over Wendy! Don't you want to make yourself feel better?

[Dipper softens as he thinks to himself. He then makes up his mind.]

Dipper: (Scowls) Fat chance, sis! (Folds arms) From now on, I'm just gonna ignore her all summer! Suit yourself!

Mabel: (Smiles) Oh, I won't let you off the hook that easily!

[Mabel reveals a paper from behind her back which says "Party at the Mystery Shack!! – Be here at 8:00 PM Tuesday!! YOU ARE INVITED!!". It is completely drenched in glitter.]

Mabel: (Smirks) I want you to go over to her house and give her my first party invite! I made it just for her!

Dipper: (Scoffs) And what if I don't?

Mabel: (Smugly) If you don't, then I'll simply show all your friends that you made out with a male mermaid!

[Mabel shows a picture of Dipper doing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation with Mermando, which Mabel took a picture of in the episode "The Deep End".]

[Upon seeing this, Dipper gives Mabel a blank stare. Scene ends.]

---

[Next scene starts with Dipper walking through a neighborhood, dimly lit up by a few lightposts. It is completely dark outside, as the sun has set.]

Dipper: (Mumbles) Stupid Mabel and her "blackmailing" schemes... I'm gonna break her apart when I get home again!

[Dipper halts and faces to the left. He takes out a note from his vest.]

Dipper: Alright, let's see here... (Reads note) 178 Polygon Street... (Shines up) Aha! It's right here!!

[Dipper gazes his eyes upon the Northwest's new mansion. Unlike their last mansion, this one is more modern with an architecture consisting of lots of windows. A fountain is also seen in the front yard.]

Dipper: (Exclaims) Whoa... This mansion looks even better than their last one!

[Dipper makes it to the gate. As he's about to open it, he leaves the gate ajar and thinks to himself. He then fumbles in his back pockets and lifts up a photograph of Wendy. He stares at it.]

Dipper: (Sighs, puts picture back in pocket) Let's just get on with this...

[Dipper enters the property, shutting the gate behind him. He makes it up to the front entrance and rings the doorbell.]

(DING-DONG)

Dipper: (Shouts) Hello?! Is anyone home!?

[Indistinct chatter is heard from inside.]

Dipper: Hm?

[Dipper puts his ear against the door to eavesdrop. He realizes that there are more than one person inside, arguing with eachother.]

Dipper: Where is that arguing coming from...?

[Dipper runs off the porch and sees a room that still has the lamps turned on next to the entrance. He walks over there and checks through the windows. Inside, dark silhouettes of Pacifica and her parents are seen.]

Priscilla: (Muffled) Oh honey, you don't know what you want. You're just a kid!

Pacifica: (Muffled, angrily) Oh yeah!? Well, things are pretty clear for me now after YOU TWO have oppressed me for my entire life! I should be out there finding out who I truly am, and not be locked in some cage like a zoo animal!!

Priscilla: (Muffled) But Pacifica, you're not locked in a cage right now–

Pacifica: (Muffled; Exasperated) That was an IDIOM, mom!!

[Dipper gets a flabbergasted expression as he overhears Pacifica standing up to herself.]

Preston: (Muffled) Listen to your parents, Pacifica. Oppression is part of growing up and you just need to accept it.

Pacifica: (Muffled) That's not true! No person I know is raised–

(Ding-ling...)

[Pacifica gets cut off as Preston rings his bell at her.]

Pacifica: (Groans) Argh!! You know what, screw you two! I'm leaving this wretched place!!

[Pacifica starts walking towards the front entrance.]

Dipper: Oh no...

[Dipper looks around. Right as Pacifica opens the door and steps out on the porch, Dipper dives into a bush out of sight.]

Pacifica: (Yells) And I won't return home until you two start TREATING me right!!

[Pacifica slams the door behind her and walks towards the gate. As she walks by, Dipper peeks out his head from the bushes again.]

Dipper: (To himself) Wow, I've never seen Pacifica so brave before. That was kind of–

[Once Pacifica opens the gate, she immediately jumps up in the air. First she jumps up on the brick fence, then she leaps onto a tree. She proceeds to jump from tree-to-tree deeper into the forest next to her mansion. Dipper is left with his mouth agape.]

Dipper: (Astonished) ...Extraordinary...

---

[Back at the Mystery Shack, Mabel is waiting in the hallway, checking her watch.]

Mabel: Five... Four... Three... Two... One...

(KNOCK-KNOCK)

[Someone knocks on the door.]

Mabel: They're here!!

[Mabel runs up to the door and opens it. Outside, Grenda and Candy are waiting.]

Mabel: Girls!!

Candy and Grenda: Mabel!!

[Candy and Grenda runs inside with tears running down their faces. They share a group hug together with Mabel.]

Candy: (While hugging) I've never been so happy to meet someone like you!

Mabel: I've missed you too, Candy!

Grenda: (Angrily) These emotions I'm feeling... THEY MAKE ME WANT TO HUG EVEN MORE!! HNGHH–!!

[Grenda uses her strength and hugs Mabel and Candy tightly. It makes them gasp for air.]

Mabel: (In pain) Body cramps...!

[Grenda lets go of Mabel and Candy. She points out Mabel's fingernails.]

Grenda: HOLY CRUD!!! What happened to your fingernails!?!

[Candy leans closer to Mabel's hands. Her striped, rainbow-painted nails now seems to be glittering.]

Candy: (Astonished) They're so... glittery. I think they are pulling me into an alternate dimension.

[Grenda grabs Mabel by the shoulders and starts shaking her with force.]

Grenda: (Intense) TELL US YOUR SECRETS, MABEL!! TELL US!!!

Mabel: Relax, girls! You'll know everything once we get started!

[Mabel raises a bottle of nail polish triumphly.]

Mabel: ...Because tonight is Preparation Evening!!

[Scene transitions to the living room with a glittery effect. A montage starts showing Mabel, Candy and Grenda making party invites for the townsfolk with pumped-up garage rock music playing. Halfway into it, Candy writes on the letters on a paper. However, her pen snaps in half, spewing blue ink everywhere all over the girls. They end up laughing it off, fortunately, as they then start to splash ink at eachother and chases eachother around in a circle.]

[The montage ends after that, including the rock music. The camera cuts to Grenda's and Candy's fingernails, which are polished in striped rainbows just like Mabel's. Waddles also runs around with his hooves painted in the same way.]

Grenda: Wow, Mabel! These look amazing! How did you do it??

Mabel: (Proudly) Pshh! There's nothing a small montage can't fix.

[They all sit down on the ground on top of all the party invites. Grunkle Stan walks into the living room.]

Grunkle Stan: Hey kids, have you seen Dipper? I need him to help me clean out the secret basement! I've decided to turn it into a mancave for me and your uncle!

Mabel: (To Stan) Dipper? (Apathetic) Sorry, Grunkle Stan, but you won't see him for a while! I sent him over to Pacifica to give her my invite for the party!

Grunkle Stan: WHAT!!??

[Maddened, Grunkle Stan grabs Mabel's arm and drags her across the floor towards the door.]

Mabel: Wha– OW!! Grunkle Stan, you're hurting me!!

[Grunkle Stan turns towards Grenda and Candy.]

Grunkle Stan: Kids, Mabel and I are going out for a while to look for Dipper! Ford here will keep you company while we're away!

[Stanford walks into the living room with a bowl of ice cream, wearing nothing but shorts under his lab coat.]

Stanford: (Unwilling) Awh, why me!? You know I'm terrible with kids, Stanley!

Grunkle Stan: (Flatly) ... Figure something out, brother! We won't be long!

[Grunkle Stan walks outside, dragging Mabel along with her. He shuts the door behind him.]

[Stanford, Candy and Grenda are left behind, staring in silence at eachother.]

Stanford: (Awkwardly) So, um... Do you kids like Calculus?

[It cuts to outside. Grunkle Stan continues dragging Mabel towards the car.]

Grunkle Stan: (While walking) Alright, if we're not too late now, then Dipper could still be out there somewhere!

[Mabel breaks herself free from Grunkle Stan's grip.]

Mabel: Argh!! (Angrily) Grunkle Stan, what is WRONG with you!?! What's so bad about Dipper forgetting about Wendy by finding a girl that is interested in him??

[Grunkle Stan faces Mabel.]

Grunkle Stan: (Pinches forehead) I don't care about his stupid teenage hormones or whatever! All I care about right now is finding him alive!!

Mabel: Wait... (Suspicious) What exactly is going on here...?

[Grunkle Stan kneels down to Mabel's height.]

Grunkle Stan: (Sighs) Look, kiddo... I didn't want to say this again, but I suspect that another day of reckoning is upon the people of Gravity Falls!

[Grunkle Stan checks his watch. A hologram pops up, showing a map of Gravity Falls with a bunch of marked, red dots on it.]

Grunkle Stan: (Seriously) Ever since I arrived here three weeks ago, my brother has taught me how to use his equipment! Doing my own research, I have detected several anomalies surrounding the wildlife here, affecting their behavior... (Weirded out) It's almost like they've got Rabies or something!

[Grunkle Stan puts a hand on Mabel's shoulder.]

Grunkle Stan: What I'm trying to say with all of this, is that your brother is in grave danger! And if we don't start looking now, there's a high chance that we won't find him alive!!

[Mabel's face is completely petrified upon hearing this. Scene ends.]

---

Dipper: (Shouts) Pacifica!?! Pacifica!!

[Next scene starts deep in the dark forest at night. Dipper is seen walking by, shouting for Pacifica.]

Dipper: (Yells) Pacifica, this isn't funny!! We're both gonna get lost in here!!

[Dipper halts as he starts shivering.]

Dipper: (To himself) Stupid Mabel... Why did she think that now would be the best time to go outside!? I'm freezing to death here...

[Out of nowhere, a yellow butterfly lands on Dipper's arm.]

Dipper: (Giggles) Hi there, little guy! Are you lost?

[A bunch of butterflies then starts landing on Dipper's body – in his face, in his hair and on his legs.]

Dipper: Ahahaha! Stop it, that tickles!

[More and more butterflies lands on him. Eventually, Dipper is completely covered in yellow butterflies all over his body.]

Dipper: Oh, man! Where did you all come from?

(PINCH!)

Dipper: Ow!! What the–!? OW!!!

[Suddenly, all the butterflies starts gnawing their teeth into Dipper's skin, trying to eat him.]

Dipper: (In pain) OUCH!! Get away from me, you monsters!!

[Dipper shakes off all the butterflies and runs deeper into the forest, flailing his arms in panic. The butterflies follows after him.]

Dipper: (Pants) Help me!! Anyone!?!

[Dipper hits several brances as he runs through a road lined with oak trees. The butterflies continues being right on his tail.]

Dipper: (Hits branch) Ouch!! (Hits branch again) AHAHAOUW!!

[His face gets completely reddened with rashes after running into the poison ivy branches. Then all of a sudden...]

Dipper: –OUF!!!

[...Dipper collides head-first into a dead tree. The impact knocks him to the ground and leaves him with a small nose-bleed. The butterflies all scatters away from the collision, frightened.]

Dipper: (Sits up, dizzy) Ugh... What happened... AHH!!

[Dipper notices the tree he ran into. Its trunk has a creepy, "Jack-o-lantern"-ish face carved into it.]

Dipper: (Covers his face, frightened) Are you the tree guardian!?! Please don't kill me, I didn't mean any harm!!

Pacifica: (Distant) Dipper?

Dipper: Huh?

[Dipper looks up. Up above, Pacifica is sitting on a tree branch, looking down at him.]

Dipper: (Relieved) Pacifica!! Er– Um, I mean... (Clears throat, acts cool) Wassup, Pacifica?

[Pafica plunges all the way down to the ground, landing on her feet next to Dipper.]

Pacifica: (Gasps) Sweet mother of beauty, what happened to your face!?!

[Pacifica points out Dipper's swollen rashes.]

Dipper: (Nonchalant) Pshh! I just bumped into some poison ivy branches, that's all! It's kinda itchy, though...

Pacifica: Here, let me get that fixed for you!

[Pacifica grabs a strange, thick leaf out of her pocket and snaps it in half. Some weird slime starts leaking out from the inside.]

Dipper: Woah woah woah, that's not really necess–

[Pacifica applies the slime on him, rubbing the leaf against his face. Dipper switches over to being calm.]

Dipper: (Relaxed) Huh, that actually feels really nice... What're you using?

Pacifica: (While rubbing) It's called Aloe Vera! It's a moisturizing plant that helps with pain.

Dipper: Wow, you know your stuff very well, Pacifica. I'm impressed!

Pacifica: (Blushes) Heh, thanks...

[Pacifica stops rubbing.]

Pacifica: (Weirded out) By the way, how did something like that happen to you??

Dipper: I don't know... First, all these yellow butterflies landed on me. They seemed friendly at first, but then they started biting me and chased me until I hit this dead tree that you were sitting on!

Pacifica: (Excited) Wait, really? Oh my gosh, that's what I've been studying for over a week now!!

Dipper: (Confusedly) ...The dead tree??

Pacifica: No, the weird behaviors of the wildlife, silly! C'mon, let me show you!

[Pacifica grabs Dipper's hand and runs even deeper into the forest, dragging Dipper along with her.]

Dipper: (Unsurely) Um, Pacifica?? Isn't it better if we go back to the mansion? Your parents are probably worried sick right now...

Pacifica: Don't worry! As soon as we're done here, we're gonna head back and rock at your place!

Dipper: (Exclaims) MY PLACE!!??

[It cuts to a hill, with a single tree on top. Pacifica strolls up on it with Dipper and stops by the tree.]

Pacifica: (Lets go of Dipper's hand) Here we are! Welcome to my secret hideout!

[Dipper takes a look around. Her hideout consists only of two tree stumps used as seats and a lantern filled with fireflies. There's also a whiteboard nailed to the tree.]

Pacifica: Please, take a seat anywhere!

Dipper: O-kay...? (He sits down on a tree stump)

[Pacifica starts writing small figures on the whiteboard with a pencil.]

Pacifica: (Rambles) So while you were gone, about month ago, the town has gotten several complaints about strange anomalies happening inside the forest! I picked up some old survival books from the library and started the journey on my own, so if we could combine your smartness and my skills, then we could–

Dipper: HAAAUGH!

[Dipper cuts off Pacifica as he makes a loud yawn. Pacifica turns around and frowns at him.]

Dipper: Oh, um... (Clears throat) Sorry, please continue.

[Pacifica stays silent for a bit. She then faces the whiteboard again.]

Pacifica: (Continues) Like I said, if you and I combine our talents together, then we can solve any mystery surrounding this–

(SNORE!!)

[Dipper interrupts Pacifica again by snoring loudly, as he has fallen asleep sitting up. She frowns even harder at him now.]

Pacifica: DIPPER!!

Dipper: (Wakes up) AHH!! I'm awake!

Pacifica: Were you even listening to ANYTHING I said!?

Dipper: (Nervously) Yeah I am! I was just... Resting my eyeballs for a bit!

[Pacifica throws the pen away angrily.]

Pacifica: (Frustrated) Unbelievable!! The first person that I've told my secret hobby to, isn't even interested at all! This was a HUGE waste of time!!

Dipper: Okay I'm sorry, alright!? But it's like twenty degrees out here and I'm in pain all over my body! Can't we just talk about this when we get home??

Pacifica: Fine!! If you want to get rid of me so badly, then I guess I have no choice! I have a compass here that will lead us directly back to my place...

[Pacifica feels in her pockets, but they are seemingly empty.]

Pacifica: Um... somewhere...

[Pacifica starts fumbling in her pockets, anxiously.]

Dipper: (Annoyed glare) You forgot the compass at home, didn't you...?

Pacifica: Don't worry, don't worry! It's a good thing that I always carry my flare gun on me wherever I go!

[Pacifica pulls out a flare gun from behind her back. She aims it towards the night sky.]

Pacifica: (Confidently) With this thing, my parents will find me immediately!

(Bom– Pssss...)

[Pacifica pulls the trigger and a red flare shoots towards the sky.]

[Meanwhile, back at the Northwest mansion, Preston is talking into an old rotary dial. In the background, out the window, several flares can be seen from the forest, but Preston is facing away from it.]

Preston: (Impatient) No, Operator! For the last time, I don't need the police! What I need you to do is connect me to the mayor!!

[Indistinct chatter can be heard from the handset.]

Preston: (Facepalms) No, I don't need a search party! You always wait 24 hours before you go out looking for someone. You know what, forget it!

[Preston slams the handset back onto the dial again and walks away from the window.]

[It cuts back to Pacifica and Dipper again. Pacifica gets a worried expression.]

Pacifica: (Quietly) That was our last flare...

Dipper: (Deadpan) Welp, we're screwed...

[The screen cuts to black. Scene ends.]

---

[Next scene starts on an empty road in a familiar neighborhood. The Stanmobile comes into the picture as it drives by. The camera cuts to the inside of the car shortly after, showing Grunkle Stan driving and Mabel sitting with her phone in the passenger seat next to him.]

Mabel: Still can't get a signal to Dipper's phone... Maybe he truly is gone, Grunkle Stan?

Grunkle Stan: Let's get a hold of ourselves! He's probably still in good condition out there!

Mabel: (Smiles) You're right!

[Mabel looks out the window.]

Grunkle Stan: And just one more thing...

Mabel: Hm?

[Mabel turns to Grunkle Stan again.]

Grunkle Stan: I don't want you to say anything that I've told you tonight to my brother... I'm finally investigating something here on my own, so I don't want him to snoop around on my business!

Mabel: Why not? Aren't you two on good terms now?

Grunkle Stan: W-we are, but it's just-- (Worriedly) I don't want him to get hurt again... I almost lost him last year to Bill's wrath, so I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something like that happened to him again... You promise me to keep quiet?

[Mabel smiles again.]

Mabel: (Understanding) I promise.

[Grunkle Stan parks the Stanmobile outside the Northwest's new mansion.]

Mabel: (Exits the car) Where... are we?

Grunkle Stan: We're at the Northwest mansion – The new one! If we're gonna get any leads on your brother, then we should start looking here!

[Grunkle Stan opens the gate. He and Mabel enters.]

Mabel: (Unsurely) Um, are you sure that this is a good idea? The Northwest Family is wayyy higher in power than we are!

Grunkle Stan: (Chuckles) Don't worry, pumpkin! Just leave the talking over to the adults!

[They make it to the porch. Grunkle Stan starts banging at the door.]

Grunkle Stan: (Yells) OPEN THE DOOR, YOU RASCALS!!!

[Preston opens the door a split second later.]

Preston: (Frowns) Oh. It's you. What do you want now, Stanford?

Grunkle Stan: It's Stanley now, actually! And I've come here to pick up my nephew!

Preston: (Raises an eyebrow) The ghost-hunter? I'm sorry, but he's not here, have a terrible evening!

[Preston tries to close the door, but Grunkle Stan holds onto it.]

Grunkle Stan: Not so fast, Preston! My great-niece here told me that Dipper went to this exact location today, so you better go get him before I come back with a search warrant!

Preston: (Annoyed) Like I said, he's not here. If you're not satisfied, then sue me if you dare! Goodbye!!

[Preston slams the door shut with force. Grunkle Stan and Mabel stares flatly at eachother.]

Grunkle Stan: Plan B?

Mabel: Plan B!

[Inside the mansion, Preston is consoling a crying Priscilla in the living room on the couch. The living room is for example, decorated with a burning fireplace and a dead bear on the ground used as a rug.]

Priscilla: (Sobbing) Uhu, uhu...!!

Preston: (Puts arm around her) Aw, dont worry honey! I'm sure that if I put a pile of dollar bills outside on the porch, she'll come crawling back to us immediately!

(CRASH!!!)

Priscilla: (Startled) AAAHHH!!! WHO'S THERE!?!

[It reveals the crash sound was a grapple claw, bursting through the nearby window. Mabel and Stan comes reeling up on the rope and enters the apartment pridefully.]

Grunkle Stan: (Triumphed) Hahah, WE'RE IN!!! Best. Break-In. Ever!!

Mabel: Um... Yeah we're in, but now we're also surrounded...

[Camera zooms out to reveal five old butlers encircling them, growling angrily. Preston and Priscilla walks into the circle.]

Preston: (Maddened) What, is the Meaning of this!?! Do you know how much it will cost me to replace that window!?

Grunkle Stan: (Points at Preston) I don't give up that easily, Northwests! I know that you're keeping my nephew in here, so go retrieve him before things get nasty!!

Preston: (Shakes head) What is it that you don't understand about him not being here!?! If you want to know his location so badly, then he's probably keeping Pacifica company right now! She's also been missing for the entire evening!!

[Silence. Grunkle Stan and Mabel are quiet.]

Grunkle Stan: Oh. I didn't think that far...

Mabel: (Loud sigh) Nice job, Grunkle Stan...

Priscilla: (Weakly) Wait... Preston, are you telling me that our little girl is hanging out with that filthy, little casual?? Ohh...

[Priscilla passes out in Preston's arms. He carries her fainted body by the shoulders.]

Preston: (To his butlers) Get them out of here!

[It cuts to the front gate. Two butlers opens the gate, carrying Grunkle Stan and Mabel. They throw them out face-first onto the asphalt next to their car.]

Grunkle Stan and Mabel: (Together) aaaaAAAAAH– OUF!! OW!!

[As they hit the ground, the butlers dusts their hands off and shuts the gate closed.]

[Grunkle Stan stands up.]

Grunkle Stan: (Shakes first) SCREW YOU, YOU HIGH AND MIGHTY WEASELS!!!

[Mabel stands up next to Grunkle Stan.]

Mabel: What do we do now, Grunkle Stan?

[Grunkle Stan faces Mabel.]

Grunkle Stan: (Serious) Alright, I need you to think straight, Mabel! You know your brother better than I do, so what would be the first location he would take a girl to if he was on a date!?

Mabel: (Ponders) Hmmm...

[Mabel thinks for a few seconds. She then shines up.]

Mabel: (Gasps) Of course! The movies!

---

[It cuts back to Dipper and Pacifica. They're still at the hideout, sitting on the tree stumps as they're shuddering together from the cold.]

Pacifica: (Cold) Brrrr... A-at least this is better than my parents' house! Ehehehe...

[Dipper is not amused.]

Dipper: (Annoyed) Pacifica, this isn't helping! We should get out of here and try to find something that could help us!

Pacifica: No way! We should stay put here until the sun comes up! Everyone will come looking for us after that!!

Dipper: (Shocked) What!?! And risk dying from the cold!? We should go find some warmth and seek shelter!

[Camera cuts to the bottom of the hill. A diseased deer is seen slamming its head into a rock over and over again as its antlers break off.]

Pacifica: (Distant arguing) And risk getting even more lost!? Screw that, I'm staying here!

Dipper: (Distant arguing) Listen to yourself, you won't MAKE it until sunset in this temperature!!

Pacifica: I'll take my chances!!

[The deer stops barging its head and overhears the argument. It starts walking up the hill towards the kids.]

[Camera cuts back to Dipper and Pacifica.]

Dipper: (Stands up) You know what? Fine! Suit yourself, I'm finding my way out of here on my own!

Pacifica: (Folds arms) Good! I don't need you anyway! I've lost all my respect for you after you fell asleep before!!

[Dipper walks past Pacifica in a moody manner with his hands in his pockets. Pacifica faces away from him, looking in the other direction, still sitting down.]

???: Grrrr...

[Dipper then suddenly freezes and his eyes widens up in terror, as he notices something in front of him off-screen, growling at him.]

Dipper: (Petrified) Um... Pacifica??

Pacifica: (Grumpy) Oh what, you're gonna try to "Guilt trip" me now!? I'm a Northwest, that doesn't work on m–

???: GRRRR!!

[The thing growls even louder. Just like Dipper, Pacifica's eyes also widens. She slowly turns to Dipper.]

[The camera reveals the creature. It's the diseased deer from before, now showing its fangs and has red, glowing eyes.]

Diseased Deer: (Roars) WHAAARR!!

Dipper: Since when do deers have sharp teeth and red, glowing eyes...?

Pacifica: RUN!!

[Pacifica grabs Dipper's hand, right as the deer charges a bite at him. They run away together down the hill and the deer continues chasing after them.]

Dipper: (Pants) It's no use! We'll never outrun a deer!

[The deer is right onto them as it gambols towards them.]

Pacifica: Wait, over there!!

[Pacifica points towards a swamp to their left.]

Dipper: TURN NOW!!!

[Dipper and Pacifica brakes and then starts running towards the direction of the swamp. The deer follows.]

[Dipper and Pacifica runs into the muddy water, covering them in mire. They take cover behind a tree on a small island out of sight.]

[The deer enters the swamp-area and start sniffing around.]

Pacifica: (Whispers) Aw man, my clothes!

Dipper: (Heavy breathing) Since when do deers act like this!? I've never seen anything like it!

Pacifica: (Whispers) It's their new behavior! All the forest critters have been like this for over a month now!

[The deer notices the whispering. It approaches the tree that they're hiding behind, slowly.]

???: (Distant Howl) AUROOOOO!!

[Right as the deer is about to expose their hiding spot, a distant, dark and distorted howl is heard. The deer turns around to where it was heard from.]

Diseased Deer: (Cries) WHRRAR!!

[The deer gambols away, towards where the howl was heard from, away from Dipper and Pacifica.]

Pacifica: (Whispers) Is it gone!?

[Dipper peeks out behind the tree. He sees that the swamps are now empty.]

Dipper: Okay... (Pants) I think it's gone! We should probably–

Pacifica: AHHH!! What is that!?!

[Dipper turns back to Pacifica. He sees that a leech has latched onto her leg as she panics.]

Dipper: (Laughs) It's just a hungry leech, dude! All it want is to suck your blood!

Pacifica: (Calms down) Oh. Hehe, it kinda tickles! (Cheekily) "Rawr, look at me! I'm a blood-sucking parasite!"

Dipper: Wait hold on, keep it there!

[Without thinking, Dipper stands up and lifts up his phone from his pocket.]

Dipper: I should totally take a picture of that and save it!

Pacifica: (Squints eyes) Wait a minute...

Dipper: (Realizes) Uh oh...

[Pacifica swats the leech off her leg and stands up. She approaches Dipper with clenched fists.]

Pacifica: (Madly) You've had your phone on you this whole time without saying anything!?!

Dipper: (Backs away) I can explain!! It has to do with my browsing history... (Jokingly) You would totally freak out seeing that!

[Without a warning, Pacifica throws herself over Dipper and makes them both fall down on the grass. Pacifica is now sitting on top of Dipper.]

Pacifica: (Snatches Dipper's phone) Give me that!!

Dipper: (Pleads) No no no, wait!! Pacifica, you're not gonna like what you– ...

[Pacifica boots up the phone. She immediately gets met with a text message on screen from her and Dipper. Her text bubble says"Ngl I kinda miss you here :(" and Dipper replied with "Same tbh".]

Dipper: ...see. (Embarrassed) Awh, man!!

Pacifica: (Starts swiping on the phone) You've been saving our conversations ever since we first started texing?? That's... interesting...

Dipper: GIVE ME BACK MY PHONE!!

[Dipper grabs his phone and starts tugging it. Pacifica holds onto it and fights for it back.]

Pacifica: No!! I need it to call my parents! HNGHH–

[The phone slips out of their hands and travels up in the air. It lands in the muddy water and electrocutes before it shuts off and sinks into the pond.]

Dipper: Well, it's a good thing that I needed a new phone! Ehehe...

Pacifica: (Infuriated) What is WRONG with you!?! That was our chance to finally get help!!

Dipper: (Nervously) I-I'm sorry, Pacifica!! I can explain the text messages, alr–

Pacifica: I don't CARE about the stupid text messages! All I care about right now is to have someone finding me and you RUINED that for me!!

[Dipper looks down at the ground.]

Dipper: (Quietly) So you don't care about me being here with you...?

[Pacifica softens from Dipper's comment, gaining sympathy. She then switches back to frowning again, stands up from Dipper's chest and walks into the mudwater, away from him.]

Dipper: Where are you going?

Pacifica: (While walking) I'm going back to the hideout! I feel like you and I are better off away from eachother.

[Pacifica halts and glances over her shoulder, back at Dipper.]

Pacifica: (Hostile) And honestly? I can't believe that I invited you over earlier today! You've been nothing but a pain in my neck and I'm glad that we're gonna go separate ways when this is all over...

[Dipper winces, disheartened and looks down at the grass under his toes. Suddenly, he notices something to his left.]

Dipper: (Gasps) Wait! Pacifica, look!

[Dipper points in said direction, and Pacifica turns back to him and checks where he's pointing. A trail of smoke is ascending to the night skies deeper in the woods behind the trees.]

Dipper: Someone put out a camp here...

Pacifica: (Happily) We're saved!!

[Dipper and Pacifica runs out of the swamp into the forest again, running towards the campfire as they laugh with eachother.]

[The camera cuts to the outpost, which is located on another hill. Dipper and Pacifica arrives there as they pop out from the bushes, now covered in brances and leaves.]

[However as they look around, they see that no one else is present.]

Pacifica: Awh, man! They must've left while we were still at the hideout...

Dipper: (Shines up) Wait... Pacifica, we have a fire here! Don't you know what this means??

[Pacifica thinks for a bit. She then grabs Dipper by the hands and they start dancing around in a circle together, joyfully next to the campfire.]

Pacifica: We finally have SHELTER!!

Dipper: Hahaha, yeah!!

[They stop dancing and lets go of eachother. Dipper stares into the fire and puts his hand under his chin.]

Dipper: (Serious) Alright, we should probably find some more firewood and stay put here for a while!

---

[Meanwhile at the Royal Ragtime Theatre...]

Grunkle Stan: (Slams fist into desk) What do you MEAN he's not present here!?!

[Mabel and Grunkle Stan are inside the cinema by the concession stand. They are questioning a dark-skinned female attendant by the counter.]

Theatre Attendant: (Pleasant) I-I'm sorry, but if he hasn't arrived here by now, then chances are that he has gone somewhere else!

Grunkle Stan: Well try calling for him again, sugar! If my calculations are right, me must be here somewhere!

Theatre Attendant: No problem, sir!

[The worker calmy reaches for a transceiver and talks into it. Her voice can be heard in the intercom speakers.]

Theatre Attendant: (From speakers) Would Dipper Pines be so kind to come to the checkout? Dipper Pines?

Grunkle Stan: (Impatient) This is a CINEMA!! Not a GOSH DARN RETAIL STORE!!

[Mabel grabs Grunkle Stan by the sleeve.]

Mabel: Grunkle Stan, why are you so mean to her!? She's trying the best she can here!!

Grunkle Stan: (Pushes Mabel aside) Don't get involved in this, Mabel! (To Assistant) Hey!! Make yourself useful and go inside the salon and find him!

Theatre Assistant: I'm sorry, sir, but that would go against our company policies. We are not to disturb our customers during the screening unless it's serious!

Grunkle Stan: (Exasperated) THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER!! And if you're not gonna help, then I'm going in there myself!

[Grunkle Stan barges his way towards the salon, walking past the counter.]

Mabel: Grunkle Stan!?!

[Mabel follows Grunkle Stan, running after him.]

Theatre Assistant: (Yells) Hey, sir– Sir!? You're not allowed back there without a ticket!

[Inside the salon, Soos and his girlfriend Melody are sitting in the front row seats. They seem to be the only ones present in the salon as they're watching an old, french romance in black and white.]

Male character: (From movie) Oh, mah petit! How will mi bi able to live without a beautiful dame like you?

Female character: (From movie) But mí beaute, you aren't away from mi, we are ze together here and amoreuse!

Soos: (Unamused) I don't get it... Is this movie supposed to be boring or have I missed something?

Melody: (Pushes Soos) Oh, stop it! I think it's kind of cute, actually!

[Grunkle Stan and Mabel comes running up to Soos and Melody's seats.]

Grunkle Stan: (Panting) Soos! Melody!

Soos: Oh, hi dudes! Are you also here to watch the screening of Le Savoire Faire?

[Grunkle Stan stares at the projector screen. The female and male character are now sitting on a park bench, kissing.]

Grunkle Stan: (Disgusted) Ugh! No, far from that! We're here to find my nephew, have you seen him?

Soos: I didn't know you had a nephew, boss? (Uninterested; starts eating popcorn) Sorry, haven't seen him anywhere.

[Melody punches Soos in the shoulder.]

Melody: (Annoyed) Soos!! He's talking about Dipper, obviously! And yeah, I think he's the one sitting over there by himself...

[By the seats at the very back of the salon, Dipper's iconic "Pine tree" hat is seen peeking out. The rest of his body isn't seen.]

Grunkle Stan and Mabel: (Together) Dipper!!

[Grunkle Stan and Mabel runs over to "Dipper" by his seat.]

Mabel: Oh my gosh, Dipper! We thought that you were– oh...

[However as they arrive, they see that the person is not Dipper. The person stands up from her seat and reveals to be the theatre attendant from before, just dressing up as him to trick them.]

Theatre Attendant: (Infuriated) I tried to play nice, but y'all wouldn't listen! Now get out of my theatre!!

[The theatre attendant snaps her fingers and two heavy-lifting muscular security guards surrounds them.]

Grunkle Stan: (To the attendant) Look, this is a big misunderstanding! If we can just sort this–

Theatre Attendant: Guards, throw the old grandpa outside!

[Mabel dashes in front of Grunkle Stan.]

Mabel: No!! You'll have to go through ME first if you want to get to him!!

Theatre Attendant: (Apathetic) Fine, I don't care. Guards, throw him and his granddaughter outside, will ya?

[It cuts to outside the cinema. Similar to before, the two guards opens the entrance, carrying Grunkle Stan and Mabel by the collars. They throw them out face-first onto the asphalt next to their car.]

Grunkle Stan and Mabel: (Together) aaaaAAAAAH– OUF!! OW!!

[As they hit the ground, the security guards dusts their hands off and shuts the entrance closed.]

Grunkle Stan: (While lying down) This is getting us nowhere...

Mabel: (Sighs) This is gonna be a long night, huh?

---

[At the outpost, Dipper and Pacifica are now sitting near eachother on the ground, warming their hands by having them close to the fire.]

[Dipper looks in Pacifica's direction and sees that she is having her head turned downward, looking at the ground sadly.]

Dipper: Sorry about the phone earlier... I-- I don't know what came over me when that happened!

Pacifica: (Sighs) It's fine... I'm sorry for calling you a Pain in my neck before... It was in the heat of the moment, but it was dorky of you to hide your phone from me, actually.

Dipper: (Winces, embarrassed) I know, I'm such a loser for that! Mabel was right, it's no surprise Wendy's not interested in me...

[Dipper goes quiet. Pacifica casts an eye over at him and notices that he's also hanging his head in sadness.]

Pacifica: (Uplifting) H-hey, don't beat yourself up over it. None of this would've happened if I hadn't forgotten the compass-- That makes me a loser as well!

[Dipper shines up.]

Dipper: Whaaat?? (Scoffs) No way, I'm the REAL loser here for falling asleep during your speech earlier! Ehehe...

[Pacifica puts a caring hand on Dipper's lap and inches herself closer to him.]

Pacifica: (Smiles) Well in that case, you and I just have to accept that we are losers together!

Dipper: I guess so...

[Dipper smiles back at Pacifica. They go silent as they share eye contact with eachother affectionately.]

[But then suddenly...]

(BOOOOMM!!)

[...A massive thunderbolt strikes down above them. Right afterwards, a heavy rainfall occurs, making both their eyes widen.]

Dipper: That's not good...

[The rain makes their fire burn out. Pacifica freaks out.]

Pacifica: Our fire!! No, no, no, no!

[Pacifica bends forward and tries to blow hot air on the remaining ember, but to no avail.]

Pacifica: C'mon! (Blows) Work, you stupid fire!

[Dipper grabs Pacifica's hand and pulls her up on her feet.]

Dipper: Pacifica, just leave it!! We're gonna freeze to death out here if we don't find another shelter!

[Another lightning strikes down, this time striking the tree next to them. The tree topples over and makes the entire hill split in half from the impact.]

Pacifica: (Shrieks) AAAHH!!

[Pacifica latches onto Dipper, hugging him out of fear. They both fall backwards and tumbles down the remaining hillside.]

Pacifica: Agh! Ouf! Ah! Ouf!

Dipper: Ouf! Mph! Gah!

[They collide right into a boulder at the bottom.]

Pacifica: uuuugghh...

[Dipper quickly stands up and checks around.]

Dipper: Oh! How about over there!?

[Dipper points towards a cave entrance. Camera cuts to it, showing it being completely dark on the inside as the cave is located behind a few dead trees.]

[Shortly afterwards, it cuts back to Dipper. Pacifica stands up, unsteady, trying to maintain her balance.]

Pacifica: (Dizzy) Where... am I??

Dipper: Come on, let's go!

[Dipper starts running towards the cave. Pacifica reluctantly follows, still confused.]

Pacifica: (While running) W-wait! I just hit my head straight into a rock! Can't we just take a quick break??

Dipper: You want to live or not!? Get a move on, already!!

[They make it up to the cave, but before they can enter, another lightning strikes down on a nearby tree. The tree falls over and blocks the entrance for the kids. They brake and come to a halt.]

Dipper: (In shock) Oh. Well, at least we didn't get crushed by it... Right, Pacifica?

[Pacifica starts to inhale sharply and rapidly, building up anger.]

Pacifica: (Bursts) THAT'S IT!! Alright, Universe! If you're so against me and my boyfriend here, THEN BRING IT ON!!

Dipper: ...Boyfriend?

Pacifica (Continues): I won't back down from you until you bring me all you've got, you big, fat, piece of JUNK!!

[Hearing Pacifica's outburst, Dipper now has his mouth agape, almost like he's enamoured.]

[Pacifica then walks up to the tree next to her and starts climbing up its branches towards the top.]

Dipper: Wait, where are you going!?

Pacifica: (While climbing) I'm gonna climb up to see if I can find another shelter!

Dipper: (Alert) You're LEAVING me down here by myself!?!

Pacifica: No, I'm– (Sighs) I'm not gonna be long!! Grab a weapon in the meantime and watch out for more predators!

Dipper: What!?! That's suicide!!

[Pacifica doesn't answer and continues climbing.]

[Dipper takes a deep breath and picks up a stick from the ground. He starts patrolling around the tree, keeping watch.]

Dipper: (Composed; to himself) Okay, just stay calm, Dipper... She told you she won't take long, so when she gets down, you can finally escape this forest and–

???: grrr...

[Dipper hears a distant growl.]

Dipper: (Worriedly) Pacifica...!?

Pacifica: (Up above) Yeah!?

Dipper: Found anything yet!?

Pacifica: (Up above) Nope! All I'm seeing is fog!

???: Grrrr...

[The growls is heard even closer. Dipper backs up against the tree.]

Dipper: Um... Pacifica!? I think there's something here with us!

[Camera cuts to Pacifica. She is sitting on the highest branch of the tree observing the area.]

Pacifica: (Shouts) Hold on, I think I see something! There's a cave over there in the dista–

(Creak!)

Pacifica: AAAHH!!

[The branch that she's sitting on ends up snapping. Pacifica hits almost every other branch on her way down before finally plummeting to the ground.]

Dipper: PACIFICA!!

[Dipper drops the stick, immediately sprints up to the wounded Pacifica lying down and kneels down next to her. He helps her sit up by pulling on her shoulders.]

Dipper: Oh my gosh, are you okay!?

Pacifica: (In pain; Grunts) Yeah, I'm fine! I think I sprained my right leg a bit, no big deal...

...

...

...

Pacifica: MMPH!?!

[Without any warning whatsoever, Dipper leans over and kisses Pacifica on the mouth, giving it no thought process of his decision. Pacifica immediately retracts her head, disgusted.]

Pacifica: (Gags and coughs) Are you INSANE!?! (Coughs) Why did you just do that!!?

[Dipper realizes what he's done as his pupils contract.]

Dipper: I AM SO SORRY!! I didn't mean it, that was just of– (Thinks, then shrugs) Pure instinct, I guess...?

[Pacifica slaps Dipper in the face.]

Pacifica: (Infuriated) PURE INSTINCT!!?? We're stuck in a life-or-death situation and all you can think about is YOURSELF!?! I can't believe it!!

[Pacifica stands up and starts storming away from Dipper.]

Dipper: (Pleads) No, wait Pacifica!! That's not what I--

[She halts and faces Dipper again. She points at him.]

Pacifica: (Rants) No!! That's EXACTLY what you meant! First the phone and now this! You're so full of trash, Dipper! I hope you realize that!!

[Dipper then suddenly notices some shadows behind Pacifica. He stands up and grabs the stick again to defend himself.]

Dipper: (Stammers) P-P-Pacifica...?

[The shadow-creatures reveals to be a triple-digit number of cows, deers, chickens, sheep and other animals standing completely frozen in a group. However, Pacifica doesn't notice as she faces away from them.]

Pacifica: (To Dipper) No!! I am done listening to you! It's over between you and me! As soon as I get home, I'm gonna block you on all social medias, and I'm NEVER talking to you again!!

[While Pacifica yells, all the diseased animals starts melting into goo. They morph together into one, giant blob of meat, skin and hair, which suddenly grows ten tentacles and six eyes, along with a jaw filled with sharp teeth. Pacifica still doesn't notice.]

Dipper: (Impatient; To Pacifica) Just... TURN AROUND!!!

[Pacifica finally turns around. She now faces the lovecraftian-ish creature now staring her down.]

Pacifica: (Petrified) Oh... So that's what you wanted me to see.

[Screen goes black – Scene ends.]

---

[Meanwhile, Grunkle Stan and Mabel are at the police station, questioning the local police officers by their desks.]

Sheriff Blubs: Ah! The case of a missing teenager! (Sarcastically) Never heard one of those before... Sorry, but I can't do nuffin' about it!

Grunkle Stan: (Outbursts) WHAT!!?? You're the local P.D for crying out loud! So act like it and go find my nephew!!

Sheriff Blubs: If I'm gonna go out to find him, I'm gunna have to call mah supervisor first. And that's gonna take a while cuz he's groovin' out in Hawaii as we speak!

Deputy Durland: (Excitedly) Ooh! Hawaii! We sure gotta head 'dere next summer for our honeymoon!

Sheriff Blubs: You said it, baby!

[Deputy Durland and Sheriff Blubs shares a low-five with eachother.]

Grunkle Stan: (Harshly) What a joke!! You two are just a bunch of lazy JACKALOPES! (Points at Blubs) No wonder you're short and fat while the other one has ugly freckles on his forehead!!

[Blubs and Durland quietly gets offended. They pull out their tasers and charges them up.]

Sheriff Blubs: You might want to take that back before we do something we might regret!

Grunkle Stan: Oh trust me, I don't want to get kicked out a third time today – That's why I'm gonna kick myself out! Come on Mabel, we're leaving!

[Grunkle Stan walks away and Mabel follows. When he opens the exit, he turns around to say one last thing.]

Grunkle Stan: And for the record, I haven't paid my taxes in over thirty years!! YOU CAN'T STOP ME!!

[Grunkle Stan slams the door shut and he and Mabel departs outside, leaving Blubs and Durland depressed.]

Deputy Durland: Did he really mean that about my freckles...?

Sheriff Blubs: (Pats Durland's shoulder) Don't let em' get to you, Durland. We still have eachother.

[Camera cuts to outside the police station. Grunkle Stan walks up the Stanmobile.]

Grunkle Stan: Alright if we hurry, then we should be able to go to three other places before sunrise! Ready to head to the lake, Mabel?

[Grunkle Stan halts as he notices that Mabel is standing still, scowling at him.]

Grunkle Stan: ...Mabel?

Mabel: Grunkle Stan, this is leading us nowhere!! How do you expect people to help us when all you've done tonight is being rude to everyone!?

Grunkle Stan: (Rolls eyes) Yeah sure, let the teenager here tell me how to do my job! I know my priorities straight, and so should you!

Mabel: (Glares) I know that you're bad at your job, that's what I think! Just look at how much you've dragged us in the dirt!

Grunkle Stan: (Sputters) As if you can do any better!

Mabel: Of course I can!! I literally solved the murder case of your wax-sculpture last year!!

[Grunkle Stan gets a dejected look as he thinks to himself, realizing that Mabel is right.]

Mabel: (Softens) Look, do you want to find Dipper? Then please, just try to be reasonable! It'll lead us right to where he is!

[Grunkle Stan winces in defeat.]

Grunkle Stan: Ah! Who am I kidding?? I can't lead! I can't come to a conclusion! Everything you just said is right about me...

[Grunkle Stan sits on the car hood and hangs his head in shame.]

Grunkle Stan: It's just like last year when I tried to be the Chief during Weirdmageddon... (Sighs) I'm never gonna be better than my brother...

[Mabel jumps up on the hood and takes a seat next to him.]

Mabel: (Consoles) Hey c'mon, now! If you can't do this on your own, then all you really need is a companion to help you out!

Grunkle Stan: (Glances at Mabel) What do you mean?

Mabel: Well, I've-- mostly just been hanging around all night doing nothing, so... (Smirks) How about you and I partner up in this investigation? That would make it better for both of us!

[Grunkle Stan thinks.]

Grunkle Stan: (Ponders) That actually doesn't sound horrible... (Smiles) Alright, you're in!

Mabel: Ya-hay!! C'mon, Officer Stanley! To the Mystery Mobile!

[Mabel jumps off the car hood and rushes to the passenger door of the Stanmobile playfully.]

Grunkle Stan: (Chuckles) Heh! Lead the way, pumpkin!

[Grunkle Stan gets up and walks towards the driver's side of the car.]

---

[Scene cuts back to the Northwest Mansion, now with rain pouring down over the street. The Stanmobile parks outside on the driveway.]

[Grunkle Stan and Mabel exits the car.]

Grunkle Stan: What're we doing back here again?

Mabel: (Warily) We both know that this is the last location Dipper went to. So if we take a closer look at the place, then maybe we can find out where he went!

[Grunkle Stan notices that two butlers are now outside, guarding the gate so no one can get inside.]

Grunkle Stan: (Annoyed) Argh! Stupid Northwests, always having to ruin the fun... They should let us inside so we can ask more questions!!

Mabel: (Whispers loudly) Don't. Get. Distracted, Detective Stanley! We have to search outside, first!

Grunkle Stan: (Sighs) Fine!

[They walk away from the car towards the mansion. They proceed to stand still as they look at the brick fence.]

Mabel: Alright, you start by looking for clues around the fence! I'll go take a look at the backside!

[Grunkle Stan sighs again, reluctant, then squats down as he inspects the brick fence. Mabel strolls over to the grass field to the left of the mansion.]

[It cuts over to the butlers. They notice what Grunkle Stan and Mabel are up to.]

Butler 1: Um... Should we report that in to Preston?

Butler 2: (Nonchalant) Nah! As long as they're not trespassing, we're fine!

[It cuts to a tree next to the mansion, where a woodpecker is watching its eggs in the bird nest. It flies away when Mabel comes climbing up said tree.]

Mabel: (Panting) Puh!

[She picks up one of the eggs and licks it, examining it.]

Mabel: (Thinks) Hmm... Nothing out of the ordinary here.

[Mabel puts back the egg again in its spot and slides back down the trunk again.]

Mabel: What do you think, Detective Stanley? Found anything yet!?

Grunkle Stan: (Distant) Hey!! Let me in, you underpaid buffoons!

Mabel: Hm?

[Mabel checks around the corner and sees that Grunkle Stan is now confronting the butlers by the gate.]

Grunkle Stan: (Irritated) I can't find anything of interest out here! So you better let me inside so I can talk to the Northwests... Again!

Butler 1: I'm afraid we cannot do that, sir. You're a danger to them, and yourself...

Grunkle Stan: Fine! Then I guess I'll just force my way in!!

[Grunkle Stan tries to make his way through the butlers, but one of them pushes him back effortlessly with one hand.]

Grunkle Stan: Gah!! Why you LITTLE–!!

[Grunkle Stan charges his fist the butlers, but Mabel stops him. His arm freezes before he can strike the punch.]

Mabel: (Loudly) Grunkle Stan, What are you doing!?! What did I tell you about getting distracted!?

Grunkle Stan: (Protest) I'm getting in there, whether you like it or not! I can't find anything in here, so beat it!

[Grunkle Stan punches one of the butlers in the face. They respond by restraining him, keeping his arms behind his back.]

Grunkle Stan: GET OFF OF ME!!!

Mabel: (Exclaims) Wait! What's over there!?

[The butlers throws Stanley onto the pavement. He quickly stands up and dusts himself off.]

Grunkle Stan: Over where?

Mabel: There!

[Mabel now points down the sidewalk. Of trail of shimmering lights from small particles on the ground are seen.]

[She and Grunkle Stan walks up to the trail and squats down to take a closer look.]

Grunkle Stan: (Squints eyes) Is that... glitter??

Mabel: And it looks like it leads straight into the forest...

[Mabel shines up in realization.]

Mabel: (Gasps) Of course!! It must be the glitter from the party invites I made!

[Beat.]

Grunkle Stan: Well that's a truck-load of glitter wasted...

Mabel: Let's follow the trail! It must lead us right to him!

[Mabel cuts the corner of the house and continues towards the forest. Grunkle Stan turns back to the butlers.]

Grunkle Stan: (Threatening) I'm not done with you two yet... I'll come back again later!

[He changes direction and follows Mabel down the sidewalk. Scene ends.]

---

[Scene changes to Mabel and Grunkle Stan walking down a tree-lined path in the forest. It appears to be the same path Dipper ran through earlier in the episode.]

Mabel: (Shouts) Hello!? Anyone there!?! Dipper!? Pacifica!?

Grunkle Stan: Pacifica!? We're not out here to find that little brat!

Mabel: Well, since she's also missing, we might as well look for her, too!

(Squish!)

[Grunkle Stan steps on something slimy with his shoe.]

Grunkle Stan: (Retracts foot) Eww! Someone must've had a wild night outside if that's what I think it is...

Mabel: (Suspicious) Wait a second...

[Mabel picks up the leaf that he stepped on.]

Mabel: This looks like an Aloe Vera leaf... That doesn't grow in the forest, it grows in the desert!

Grunkle Stan: (Thinks) Maybe someone who's addicted to beauty-products brought it out here.

Mabel: Probably...

[Mabel notices a light coming from on top of a hill.]

Mabel: Wait, was that light always there??

Grunkle Stan: Perhaps it's Dipper up there!

Mabel: (Warily) Or maybe someone else... We need to be careful!

[Grunkle Stan and Mabel carries on with their walk, now towards the hill.]

Mabel: Hello!? Anyone there!?!

Grunkle: Kid!! Where are you!?

[It cuts to the hide, as they appear behind the trees.]

Stanley: Aw, nuts! There's no one here!

[Mabel notices the firefly jar.]

Mabel: Well now we know what produced the light. Let's split up and take a look around!

[Stanley and Mabel split up as they take a look around.]

Mabel: (Looks at tree stumps) Hmm. Is it just me or does this look like someone camped here? What do you think, Detective Stanley?

[It cuts to Grunkle Stan by the tree. He's holding the whiteboard that Pacifica drew on.]

Grunkle Stan: (Weirded out) I think that these stickfigures on this whiteboard looks like they were drawn by a little kid...

Mabel: (Distant) Wait, what!? Let me look at that!!

[Mabel runs up to Grunkle Stan and snatches the whiteboard from him. On the whiteboard she sees two stickfigures with the names "Dipper" and "Pacifica" written above them.]

Mabel: (Reads) Dipper and Pacifica... (Gasps) That must mean that they were here!! We're finally getting closer to finding them!

[Meanwhile, Grunkle Stan sees something behind Mabel. He starts backing away slowly.]

Mabel: (Thinks) Now why are they not here... Maybe something chased them away–

[Mabel notices that Grunkle Stan is standing at a distance away from her.]

Mabel: What?

???: (Sniff, sniff...)

[Mabel feels something sniffing her neck. She turns around and sees the deer from before which chased away Dipper and Pacifica.]

Grunkle Stan: (Composed) Now don't get scared, Mabel. Just baaack away slowly and carefully. That way, the deer won't hurt ya.

[Mabel scoffs.]

Mabel: Pshh! Don't be ridiculous, Grunkle Stan! It's just a sweet, little deer who only needs a few cuddles!

[Mabel reaches out her hand and nears it towards the Deer's face.]

Grunkle Stan: NO, MABEL!! You're gonna–

(CRUNCH!!)

Mabel: aaAAAAHHHH!!!

[The deer unleashes its sharp teeth and bites down into Mabel's hand.]

Mabel: (Panics) IT'S GOT MY HAND!!! HELP!! HEEELPP!!

[Mabel tries to flail her arm away from the deer, but it isn't letting go from it.]

Grunkle Stan: Hold on, pumpkin!!

[Grunkle Stan confronts the deer and punches it in the face repeatedly.]

Grunkle Stan: Let... (Punch!) go... (Punch!) of... (Punch!) my... (Punch!) NIECE!!

[Grunkle Stan delivers one final blow and the deer finally gives in and lets go of Mabel's hand.]

Grunkle Stan: Let's get outta here!!

[Grunkle Stan and Mabel takes one another's hands and runs away together down the hill.]

[The diseased deer recovers again, growls and charges right at the camera.]

---

[As the deer charges at the screen, it transitions over to a new scene. Dipper and Pacifica are running side-by-side away from the meaty Cthulhu monster they stumbled upon.]

Dipper: (While running) Where exactly did you say that this cave entrance was!?

Pacifica: It's right in front of us! Over there!!

[Pacifica points towards the dark cave entrance that she discovered earlier up on the tree. It looks familiar to the other cave, just much smaller.]

[She and Dipper makes a sharp right together and misleads the Cthulhu, juking him as it crashes right into a tree.]

Dipper: Wow, that went better than expected!

[The Cthulhu snaps back from the impact and grows out four more tentacles from under its skin. It lets out a roar, then charges towards the kids again.]

Dipper: (Flatly) Aaaand now we've made it even more angrier than before...

[Dipper and Pacifica runs inside the dark cave. They stand still and breathes heavily from exhaustion.]

Dipper: (To Pacifica) You okay??

[They heard another growl outside.]

Pacifica: (Whispers) Quick!! Find cover!

[They immediately seek cover behind some boulders and peeks outside. Outside, the Cthulhu is seen strolling around in circles in a confusing manner.]

Dipper: Shouldn't it have seen by now that we've made it in here?

Pacifica: (Squints eyes) I don't know... Maybe it's blind?

[Two green, glowing eyes appears from the darkness in the middle of Dipper and Pacifica.]

Pacifica: (Looks up) Oh, you must be the one who lives in this cave! Could you help us find our way home?

Dipper: (Looks up) Uhm... I don't think that's another person.

[Suddenly a dozen of other glowing eyes appears from the darkness as they surround them and makes squealing noises. Dipper and Pacifica's pupils contract from terror.]

Dipper and Pacifica: (Together; shrieks) AAAHHH!!!

[The glowing eyes reveals to be bats as they come out from the darkness. They all latch onto Dipper and Pacifica and starts biting them.]

Dipper: (Flails arms; panics) AH!! GET THEM OFF! GET THEM OFF!!!

Pacifica: THEY'RE EATING MY FACE!!!

[It cuts to outside. The Cthuhu turns its body towards the cave, hearing the kids screaming. It lets out a roar then starts rushing towards them.]

[The camera changes back to Dipper. He's still being viciously attacked by a bat scratching his face.]

Dipper: Ah! Ah!! AAAAHHH!!!

(Smack!!)

[The bat gets struck in the face with a stick out of nowhere, also hitting Dipper's face in the process. It's Pacifica who hit him in an act of courage.]

Pacifica: (Swings stick in the air) Get away from him, you flying rats!!

[She successfully scares all the bats away as they all fly out of the cave into the woods.]

Dipper: (Stands up, dusts himself off) Jeez, thanks for saving me! But did you really have to hit me in the face..?

Pacifica: (Scowls) You're such an ungrateful jerk!!

Cthulhu: ROOOOAAWW!!

[The Cthulhu is heard getting closer as its shriek echoes throughout the hollow walls from outside.]

Pacifica: I think it knows we are here!

Dipper: Let's hide deeper in the cave!!

[Dipper points to the corridors behind them, which are completely dark. They're splitting up into three different tunnels. Pacifica complies and follows Dipper's lead, as they take the corridor in the middle.]

[Deeper in the cave, they run by a bunch of shining, pink crystals, glowing in the dark. Pacifica stops running.]

Pacifica: (Halts) It's no use... I can't see anything!!

Dipper: (Thinks) I wonder what these do!

[Dipper snaps off a glowing crystal from the wall. It gets a much brighter gleam as it is disconnected from its roots and shines up the entire corridor.]

Dipper: That should do the trick! Wait, that looks like a good place to hide!

[Dipper glances over at another entrance leading to another part of the cave.]

(Distant roar!)

[Another roar is heard from the Cthulhu.]

Pacifica: (Hurriedly) Well, what are you waiting for, the Tooth Fairy!? Get a move on!!

[Pacifica moves towards the new entrance and Dipper follows, still carrying the crystal.]

[When they make it up to the entrance, Pacifica enters first and goes out of site. However, Dipper is frozen in place outside as he sees the Cthulhu emerging towards them.]

Dipper: GAH!!

[Pacifica comes into the picture again as he reluctantly pulls Dipper into the other part of the cave out of sight. He falls to the ground and Pacifica takes cover behind him, putting her hands on his shoulders.]

Pacifica: (Whispers) Did he see us!?

[A rumble is heard. The Cthulhu comes traveling by and disappears further down the corridor, unaware of the area that the kids are hiding in.]

Dipper and Pacifica: (Together) Phew!

[Dipper and Pacifica sits down on the ground, both exhausted.]

Dipper: We should probably stay here for a while...

Pacifica: I guess...

[Dipper places down the glowing crystal on the ground. It illuminates the area, which reveals that they are in a caveroom reaching a dead end behind them. Dripstones are seen covering the roof above them.]

[They both go silent as they stare into the crystal.]

Dipper: (Breaks silence) Pacifica? Uhm... Before we die in here, there's something I need to admit to you.

Pacifica: (Annoyed) Dipper, just stop! I'm not in the mood to talk right now...

[Pacifica turns her head downward. Dipper continues anyway.]

Dipper: I s-s-saw... (Stammers, then sighs) I saw how you stormed out on your parents before, back at your mansion.

[She looks up again and turns her head towards Dipper.]

Pacifica: Wait, really?

Dipper: (Embarrassed) Yeah, I kind of spied on your argument before when I was gonna go over to your house. Now I just feel embarrassed that I overheard things that were none of my business...

Pacifica: (Softens) So what did you think? A-about me standing up for myself, I mean!

Dipper: Honestly? It kind of feels good to see how much you've changed since the "Northwest Manor" incident. But why did you decide to run from them?

Pacifica: (Shrugs) I don't know..? I finally felt like I could stand on my own two feet, until they tried to push me down again, I think?

Dipper: I understand that feeling... (He looks up to the ceiling then continues) I felt the same way about Grunkle Stan last year. But after finding out why he always pushed me, I understood that deep down, he actually loves me... Your parents feel the same way about you, even though they might now always show it. And instead of running away from them, you should endure them until you have no one else to look after you!

[Pacifica grows more understanding. They both go silent again as Dipper thinks to himself.]

Pacifica: (Sighs) Look, about what happened earlier? I'm sorry about my reaction, but that was not the perfect time to pull off something like that!

Dipper: (Turns embarrassed again) I know! That was a douche move of me to do... I don't know why, it just felt right to kiss–

Pacifica: (Interrupts) We can't afford to think about ourselves now! We must stay focused on what's most important, and that is us making it out of here safe and sound!

[Dipper goes quiet again. He then glances over at Pacifica again.]

Dipper: So what should you and I focus on after we get home again...?

[Pacifica looks Dipper in the eyes.]

Pacifica: (Shoulder shrug) I don't know... You ask me. It depends if we're gonna keep arguing or not, honestly.

[Dipper gasps after what Pacifica said, in realization.]

Dipper: (Gasps) Of course!! (Stands up) Hold that thought, I just came up with an idea!

[Dipper walks towards the corridor.]

Pacifica: (Raises eyebrow) Wait, where are you going!?

Dipper: (Halts, rotates back) Think about it!! You said it yourself – Both the deer and the big tentacle-monster has found us so far because of how loud we were when we argued! Now let's assume that the monster is blind! What if we could use the loud noises as bait, to give us a head-start out of here?? That's what I'm gonna try!!

[Dipper continues towards the corridor. Pacifica immediately stands up and dashes towards the exit, blocking Dipper's path as she stands in front of him.]

Pacifica: (Protests) Have you lost your Mind!? If you go out there, you're gonna get KILLED!!

Dipper: (Determined) I have no other choice! I'm gonna make as loud noises as possible to get him to chase me!!

[Dipper pushes Pacifica out of the way and steps out into the corridor.]

Pacifica: (Loudly) Dipper, I'm not gonna lose my friend to some dumb, courageous act!! I want you to come home with me, too!

Dipper: Pacifica, we're never gonna get out of here if I don't do anything about it! Just go back into our spot and stay there!!

[Pacifica grabs Dipper's arm and tries to pull him back forcefully.]

Dipper: What are you doing!? Stop!!

[Tears starts streaming down her face as she pleads.]

Pacifica: (Begging) Please, just stay here! I won't be able to survive without you!!

Cthulhu: (Echoing roar) RAAAHRRR!!

[As a result of their loud arguing, the Cthulhu comes back again as it slithers down the corridor. It stops and looks around, trying to sense motion. Pacifica lets go of Dipper's arm.]

Dipper: (Shocked) Well, I guess that also worked out! (Shouts) Hey!! Over here you big, fat, meat-cluster!!!

[We get a short point-of-view from the Cthulhu's perspective, showing that its vision is red-filtered and blurry. It spots Dipper and locks onto him.]

[Camera cuts back to the kids. Cthulhu roars and charges at Dipper who starts heading back the way he came from. Cthulhu propulses past Pacifica, ignoring her.]

Pacifica: Wait!! Don't hurt him!

[Pacifica runs after them, heading in the same direction.]

[Back at the three tunnels leading to different corridors, Dipper exits the middle one and immediately heads into the one on the very left. The Cthulhu follows him.]

[Deeper in the passage, Dipper holds his chest in pain, getting cramps from running.]

Dipper: (Exhausted) Can't... T-take it... Anymore!! (Inhales) Must... Find... A... Way... Out– WHOAAWOAW!!

[Dipper brakes sharply right by the edge of a deep, large hole with a dark pit. He is only inches away from falling down.]

Dipper: (Exclaims) Oh, you've gotta be kidding me!!

[Dipper looks behind him and sees that the Cthulhu is nearing towards him. He then notices a single vine hanging down from the ceiling.]

Dipper: Hmph!

[Dipper positions himself, getting ready to jump.]

Dipper: (Closes his eyes, concentrates) Alright, Dipper! If Pacifica can climb up a tree easily, then you can make this jump! In three... two... one...

[The Cthulhu nears even closer.]

Dipper: JUMP!!!

[And so, right as the Cthulhu almost snatches him with one of its many tentacles, Dipper leaps towards the vine. Everything happens in slow-motion...]

Dipper: (Grunts) Gah!!

[...but after being in the air for a bit, he successfully catches the vine and hangs onto it. Misled, the Cthulhu tries to brake, but the rocky ground under it shatters and it falls into the hole.]

Cthulhu: (Roars) GWAAAAAaaarr...

[It lets out one final roar before plummeting to the bottom of the pit.]

Dipper: (Heavy panting) Puh... huoh...

[Pacifica comes into the picture as she runs up to the hole, stopping by the edge and sees Dipper hanging onto the vine.]

Pacifica: (Happily) You actually did it!! How did you–!?

Dipper: (Triumphed) Yes!! Did you see how great I was!? We can finally go h–...

(SNAP!!)

[Then suddenly, the vine Dipper is hanging onto, snaps.]

Dipper: AAAAHHHHH!!!

Pacifica: DIPPER!!!

[Dipper plummets down the hole, letting out a shriek until he's no longer heard. Pacifica is left horrified.]

Pacifica: (Quietly) Dipper...? (Shouts) Dipper!!!

[No response. Pacifica falls to her knees, distressed. She starts crying loudly burying her face into her hands.]

Pacifica: (Sobs) N-no... No!! (Sobs even louder) Dipper! I-I'm so sorry...!!

[As Pacifica continues grieving, a hand fortunately comes into frame as someone is seen climbing up the hole.]

Pacifica: (Looks up) Huh!?

[The person pulls himself up and show himself to be Dipper, who managed to survive. He rests on the edge with his body halfway up from the hole.]

Dipper: (Worn out) I'm okay! (Exhales) I'm okay...

Pacifica: (Gasps) Dipper!!

[Pacifica runs up to Dipper in relief, with tears running down her face. She grabs Dipper and pulls him up from the hole, also helping him stand up again.]

Pacifica: (Relaxed) Oh my gosh, I thought you were a goner!! Like, did you see how much I cried when you--

Dipper: (Interrupts) We don't have time to talk about that!! It's almost sunrise! We have to hurry!

[Dipper and Pacifica hurriedly sprints back the way they came from.]

[However, as they leave, a tentacle comes slithering up the hole as it latches onto the edge. Scene ends...]

---

[Deeper in the forest, Mabel and Grunkle Stan are running from the deer, still pursuing after them. The rain has stopped.]

Grunkle Stan: (Huffs, puffs) How is this freak not tired yet!? I'm gonna collapse any second!!

[Camera pans over to Dipper and Pacifica. They're running in the opposite direction of Grunkle Stan and Mabel.]

Dipper: Look!! I can see the sky getting brighter!

Pacifica: (Confident) When the sun comes up, we'll SURELY get rescu–

Grunkle Stan, Mabel, Dipper and Pacifica: (All together) OWF!!!—

[As they all meet up, Grunkle Stan and Mabel runs straight into Dipper and Pacifica. They all collapse into eachother and falls backwards.]

[Mabel and Grunkle Stan quickly stands up and lets out a battle cry.]

Grunkle Stan and Mabel: RAAAAHR!!!

[Dipper and Pacifica stands up and does the same.]

Dipper and Pacifica: RAAAAAAHHRR!!!

[As they get a better look at eachother, they realize that they're not foes.]

Dipper: Wait...

Grunkle Stan and Mabel: DIPPER!!

[They both approaches Dipper and hugs him tightly, leaving out Pacifica.]

Dipper: (Shocked) Sis! Grunkle Stan!!

Grunkle Stan: (In relief) I can't believe it! You're actually alive!!

Pacifica: (Sarcastically) Oh yeah, sure, just leave me out of the group hug! (Groans) Whatever...

[Mabel and Grunkle Stan lets go of the grip around him.]

Mabel: We actually thought that you were dead! How were you able to get through the night??

Dipper: (Nonchalantly) Eh, I had my ways! But I couldn't have done it myself!

[Dipper winks at Pacifica. She blushes and twiddles her fingers shyly.]

Diseased Deer: HISSSSS!!

[Everyone rotates towards the deer.]

Grunkle Stan: (Flatly) Oh yeah. I forgot about him...

[They all start backing away from the deer. On the opposite end however, they bump into the Cthulhu which has returned again, staring them down.]

Cthulhu: (((WROAAA!!)))

Grunkle Stan: Alright, anyone got a different idea??

[Dipper reveals the party invite from inside his vest and crumbles it into a ball.]

Dipper: Gah!!

[He throws the invite at the Cthulhu. It catches the paper and effortlessly tears it into pieces with its tentacles.]

Mabel: (To Dipper) Why would you throw Pacifica's party invite for!?!

Dipper: That was the only thing I could throw!!

Pacifica: (Confusedly) Wait, what "Party invite"??

Dipper: (Nervously) Ehehe... S-surprise, surpriise! ...

Mabel: (Angered) You just RUINED the surprise, you chump!

Grunkle Stan: Everyone, fall back!!

[They all draw back to the middle as they're surrounded by the deer and the Cthulhu. They all hug eachother, with Pacifica now being included.]

[As the Cthulhu and the deer approaches them, they all brace for impact, shutting their eyes.]

[But then suddenly...]

(TSSSSS...)

[...A flare burns the skin on the Cthulhu, coming from the morning sun peeking out. It starts flailing around its tentacles in pain.]

Cthulhu: AAAARR!! (Tssss...) ROOAAAAAAA!!!

[The morning sun completely covers the Cthulhu. All the animals that morphed into the creature starts falling off as they get released from its fleshy imprisonment.]

[The diseased deer lets out one final screech before fainting, blacking out on the ground. The Cthulhu escapes deeper into the forest, grunting in pain as more cows, sheep and other life forms gets released.]

[All the animals that got melted off stands up and looks around before running away from the scene. Dipper, Pacifica, Mabel and Stanley all unfolds their eyes in confusion.]

Pacifica: A-are we... dead?

[They all let go of eachother.]

Grunkle Stan: (Scratches head) That's odd! I thought we were gonna become shish kebab right there!

Dipper: (Excitedly) But hey, look! The sun is up! We survived the night, Pacifica!!

Pacifica: Heck yeah, we did! Gimme a hand!

Dipper: Hahah, alright!!

[Dipper and Pacifica shares an awkward high-five.]

Grunkle Stan: Well, I guess there's nothing else to do than to study this freakish nature!

[Grunkle Stan lifts up a syringe from his pocket and walks up to the deer that chased them. He sticks the needle into the fur.]

Dipper, Mabel and Pacifica: (Together in disgust) Eww!

[Blood comes pouring into the barrel. Grunkle Stan takes out the needle then stares at the kids.]

Grunkle Stan: What? Don't act like you've never seen blood before! Alright we're done here! Mabel? You brought the map like I told you?

Mabel: (Confidently) Yup! I got it right here!

[Mabel feels in her pockets, but there's nothing in them.]

Mabel: Um... It's here somewhere...

[She starts fumbling in her pockets, anxiously. Camera cuts over to Dipper and Pacifica.]

Pacifica: (Annoyed) She forgot the map, didn't she? I'm getting deja vu vibes from this...

Dipper: (Groans, outburst) Argh!! Are you kidding me, Mabel!?!

Mabel: W-what?

[Dipper storms up to Mabel until he's only inches away from her face.]

Dipper: (Maddened) You were the one who sent me out on this thing, and NOW you've made us even more lost than before!? What is your PROBLEM!?!

[Grunkle Stan and Pacifica are watching the entire thing go down from behind.]

Pacifica: (Aside to Stanley) He learned that from me!

Dipper: (Continues) Sometimes you are just so... UNBEARABLE!!! Just do something right for once!!

Mabel: Okay, okay, I'm sorry! (Smugly) It's a good thing I called for some backup!!

[Mabel points behind her. Suddenly Soos and Melody pops up from a nearby bush, both wearing camouflage.]

Soos: Oh! Hi, dudes!

Dipper and Stan: Soos!?

Pacifica: (Strangely) Wait... How did you two find us?

Soos: (Laughs), Mabel called us and told us to follow you dudes in case you got lost! We had to finish the movie first, however...

Melody: (Annoyed) No we didn't finish!? We left after you fell asleep halfway through it!

Soos: Oh yeah. I remember it was so good I zoned out!

Melody: (Sighs) C'mon guys, the car is just a few miles away!

Dipper: "A few miles"!? (Implores) C'mon, can't we just stay here for a bit and rest?? I've been running all night!!

[However, the fainted deer's leg starts twitching as it starts to wake up. Stan notices.]

Stanley: (Urgently) Nope, that's not gonna happen!! C'mon, C'MON!!!

[Everyone escapes with Soos and Melody, following them. Scene ends.]

---

[The final scene starts outside the "Tons grocery store", now during daytime. Pacifica, which is now wrapped in bandages around her forehead and left knee has reunited with her parents while Dipper, Mabel, Stan, Soos and Melody have gathered around the Stanmobile a distance away on the other side of the store. Preston and Priscilla are staring angrily at their little girl.]

Preston: (Strictly) Pacifica, you've made your parents worried sick and subsequently damaged your family's legacy! You are hereby grounded for the rest of the summer!

Pacifica: (Smugly) Oh, I'm not so sure about that! (She reveals a hundred-dollar-bill from her jacket's pocket) Here's a hundred bucks, dad!

[Preston grabs the dollar bill from her.]

Preston: (Intrigued) Ooh! I can't turn down an offer like that! (Turns serious) Alright, you're off the hook for now, but you're on thin ice, lady!

[Camera pans over to Grunkle Stan as he talks to Mabel. Mabel has her hand wrapped in bandages.]

Grunkle Stan: Is your hand gonna be okay, pumpkin?

Mabel: Yeah! The bite didn't break skin, so I'll probably be fine!

[Grunkle Stan turns to Dipper, who has band-aids over his rashes on his face.]

Grunkle Stan: Kid, you've only been here for a day and you've already been a real nuisance to me, but I'm glad you're alright!

Dipper: Heh, thanks! But I wouldn't have survived if it wasn't for you two!

[Stan turns to everyone else.]

Grunkle Stan: Alright, now let's go home, shall we? (Puts hand on waist) My back's been killing me from all that running!

Soos: Yeah, I don't wanna catch Wendy slacking off from work with all her other dudes!

[Dipper realizes that he hasn't thought about Wendy for a while.]

Dipper: (Winces) Oh yeah... Wendy. Um, before we go, can I just do one more thing??

Grunkle Stan: (Flatly) Sure, but I don't have all day!

[Dipper turns to Pacifica across the sidewalk.]

Dipper: (Whispers loudly) Hey!! Hey, Pacifica!

[He gains her attention as she looks over at him.]

Dipper: (Continues whispering) Meet me at the back of the store, alright!?

[Pacifica gives Dipper a thumbs up and runs off.]

[Dipper runs across the back alley while Pacifica is running on the opposite side. They meet up in the middle on the grass field at the back of the supermarket.]

Pacifica: C'mon, Dipper! You know this isn't a good spot to make out, right?

Dipper: (Surprised) What!? No way, I'm not gonna pull that off again!

Pacifica: (Giggles) I'm just messing with you! So what did you want, then..?

Dipper: (Bashful) I, uh... I wanted to give you this.

[Dipper reveals the party invite that he destroyed earlier, which is now being held together by a bunch of duct tape. Pacifica gasps joyfully.]

Dipper: (Sheepishly) I know it's a bit scrunched up after I destroyed it, but I tried to fix it as best as I could. I hope it's okay for you...

[Pacifica accepts the paper and holds it close to her chest.]

Pacifica: (Smiles sweetly) I love it...

Dipper: (Smiles back) I thought that you would...

[They share another eye contact before Pacifica breaks the silence. She twiddles with her hair and looks to her left, smitten.]

Pacifica: (Blushes) You know... When you fought the monster back at the cave? That was actually pretty hardcore... I never got the chance to tell you how cool that was.

Dipper: (Acts cool) Heh, what can I say? When you have to do what's right, you just gotta do it!

Pacifica: (Grins, raises eyebrow) No way! You did it because you wanted to play the hero! I can see right through you!

Dipper: (Thinks) Hmm... (Shrugs) Alright, ya got me there!

[They share a laugh with eachother before silence surrounds them again.]

Dipper: A-anyways, I should probably head back to my Great uncle again... I don't wanna keep him waiting!

Pacifica: Oh, I won't keep you! (Frowns) I'm gonna have to walk home on my own anyway because my stupid parents are still mad at me...

Dipper: Well, at least you're not running away this time. (Winks) Just don't get lost in the forest again!

Pacifica: (Giggles) I won't, silly!

Dipper: Heh, see you at the party!

[Dipper turns around and starts walking away from Pacifica.]

...

...

Pacifica: Oh yeah! One more thing...

[Dipper rotates back to her and...]

Dipper: What is it— Mm!? ...

[As Dipper faces her again, she immediately grabs him by the collar and pulls him close to her. Finally, Pacifica kisses him on the lips with her eyes closed, while Dipper has his totally widened, as he is visibly stunned.]

...

[After a few seconds, Pacifica lets go of Dipper's shirt and withdraws her lips, putting her index finger over Dipper's mouth.]

Pacifica: (Smirks romantically) Now that, was of pure instinct!~

[Pacifica walks away from the scene. Dipper is left completely frozen in shock, unable to react properly to what just happened.]

[Finally, Dipper exhales and a proud smile appears on his face as he snaps back.]

Mabel: (From behind) So how did it go, Romeo?

Dipper: (Startled) AAHH!! MABEL!?!

[Dipper rotates, and Mabel is revealed to be sitting on top of a large boulder in the back of where the kiss went down.]

Mabel: Yup, that's my name!

Dipper: (Nervously) H-h-how long have you been sitting there!?

Mabel: (Cheekily) Long enough to see it all go down! (She hugs herself and starts mocking Dipper) "Oh, Pacifica, you're so gentle... Mwah! Mwah! Mwah!"

[Dipper blushes so much that his entire face reddens. He frowns in embarrassment.]

[Mabel jumps down to Dipper and punches him in the shoulder.]

Mabel: Oh come on, stop moping! You have a girlfriend now! You two are together now, right??

Dipper: (Furiously) We're not DATING, are you insa– (Thinks, calms down) Actually? Yeah, I think we are together now!

[Dipper's blush fades away. Mabel reacts to the good news by hugging him tightly around the waist, almost crushing his ribs.]

Dipper: (Grunts in pain) NGHH!!

Mabel: (Happily) YES!! I KNEW you could do it! Finally you can move on and forget about Wendy!!

[Mabel lets go of Dipper.]

Dipper: Well I have to admit, if it wasn't for you sending me out to her house, none of this would've happened! Thanks, Mabel!

Mabel: Eh, what can I say? I am simply the best matchmaker ever born! (Points upward) IN YOUR FACE, LOVE GOD!!

[Grunkle Stan appears from the other side of the bushes on the sidewalk.]

Grunkle Stan: (Shouts) Hey!! Are you kids coming!? I'm getting a Sunburn on top of my Sunburn here!!

Mabel: (To Stan) Coming!! (Turns to Dipper) Last one to the car is a rotten fart!

[Mabel runs off, giggling to herself in a playful manner. Dipper continues standing still and looks behind him once Mabel is gone.]

[Up on a nearby hill, Pacifica is sitting on the top waving to Dipper. When Dipper sees her, he waves back at him.]

Pacifica: (Smooching noise)

[She blows a kiss at Dipper. Dipper jokingly catches the imaginary kiss in his palm and places it close to his chest.]

Pacifica: (Laughter) Hehahaha~!

[Pacifica climbs down the hillside and disappears. Once she's gone, Dipper reaches for the pocket inside his vest, takes out the picture of Wendy and stares at it.]

[Dipper narrates one last time.]

Narrating Dipper: You know, before I thought this day was gonna end in disaster... But instead, it ended with a miracle.

[Dipper tears the picture into two halves and drops it on the grass. He smiles to himself in accomplishment.]

Narrating Dipper (Continues): Because that was the moment that I realized-- This was gonna be a good week!

[Dipper starts strolling back, humming to himself. We get a bird-eye-view of him as the camera travels up in the air.]

Dipper: (Distant singing) "Hanging out with Pacifica is gonna be so awesome, I would love it for her to be my honey! Strolling down the beach in the summer all day long, I should really stop singing this stupid song!"

[Episode ends.]

---

[It cuts to credits. We get a bonus scene showing Candy and Grenda in the living room, sitting on the floor doing homework.]

Grenda: Ugh! I can't believe Stanford gave us homework!! (To Candy) What did you write on question C??

Candy: (Angrily) He told us not to share ANSWERS, Grenda!!

[The front door opens. Grunkle Stan arrives home with Dipper and Mabel.]

Grunkle Stan: Alright, everyone get lost! I'm gonna sit down and scratch myself in places you don't wanna know about!

Everyone: Ewww!

[Dipper, Mabel, Candy and Grenda panics and runs upstairs. Once they're gone, Stan opens the door to the gift shop and types the secret code on the vending machine.]

[The secret door opens and Grunkle Stan enters.]

[It cuts to the secret room. Stan approaches his desk and moves all his old stuff aside. He places down the blood sample he collected on the table, which is now contained in a glass flask.]

Grunkle Stan: (Talking to himself) Alright, I don't know what you are, or what you came from! But when it comes to protecting my family, I'm gonna do everything in my power to bring your infection down!!

[He turns around and walks away.]

(Beep. Beep. Beep! Beep!! BEEP!!)

[Once Stan is out of the picture, the blood inside the flask starts shuffling through ancient, familiar symbols.]

[Screen goes black.]
