Dipper Pines who was sleeping peacefully without anyone to bother him, had just awoken to a mysterious sight and feeling, he wasn't just resting on a wooden, splintery floor, he was in a familiar place. He was in the same artistically confusing place he was last year, when he, Soos and Mabel entered Grunkle Stan's mind to make sure Bill Cipher didn't get the deed to the shack. It was very clear when Dipper noticed the staircases going down, up, left, right and all the diagonal ways you could think of.
But it wasn't just Dipper who was there. Dipper's twin sister, Mabel happened to be there as well as Dipper's girlfriend, Pacifica Northwest; Dipper's former crush, Wendy Corduroy; Wendy's ex boyfriend, Robbie; Dipper's two Grunkles, Stanley and Stanford; the crazy inventor millionaire, Fiddleford McGucket; and the current owner of the Mystery Shack, Soos Ramirez; All looking around as confused as Dipper.
"Wow, this brings me back to my Columbia days." Stan commented while rubbing his head.
"Oh dudes, not again!" Soos exclaimed.
"What is this place?" Wendy asked. "Soos, you screamed in shock, what is it?"
"Aww dangnabit, I knew my mind was a liddle messed upe, but I neever thought it was like this." McGucket said.
"No, we're not in McGucket's head." Mabel replied before analysing the place a bit. "Actually, I don't know whose head we're in."
"What?!" Pacifica exclaimed. "How did we get here?!"
"Dudes, this looks like a painting." Robbie said before taking a picture of it with his phone.
"No." Ford replied. "We've been transferred into someone's head, which means we must be in the place where someone's memories are in one place. Whoever the sleeping inhabitant is, it's gotta be someone who has important information."
"So, we're just in a mind heist?!" Robbie asked annoyed before thinking about it. "Wait a minute, that sounds pretty cool. Sounds like that super confusing movie about entering people's dreams."
"You seem perfectly fine with this." Wendy remarked.
"Hey, considering we live in a place where I've seen a lot of weird stuff, this is just another Tuesday." Robbie argued. "So, I don't know why them two are sweating." Robbie pointed to Pacifica and Stan who looked pretty sweaty about their surroundings.
Dipper approached his girlfriend and took her hand in an attempt to calm her down from sweating too much. The Northwest took notice and smiled at her amazing boyfriend.
"So, who's head are we in?" Mabel asked. "It surely has to be someone we know."
"There's a door, dudes." Soos announced. "I hope it's something embarrassing because it'll be super funny." Soos opened the small door to reveal a sight Mabel thought she would never, ever see in her life. A sight so horrifying that it made Mabel pull a disgusted look on her face, it was Lil' Gideon checking himself out in the mirror in blue swimming trunks.
"Oh hello there handsome." Lil' Gideon said to his reflection and admiring it. "Whose the little cutie in front of ya?
This sight made Soos, Wendy and Stan laugh at this little sight. Seeing their enemy checking himself out really brightened up their day so far.
"Oh boy, this is so funny." Wendy said trying to hold her laughter.
"Well, if we're robbing Gideon's head, then this is the best day ever." Stan said with a smile.
"Yeah." Soos agreed. "Good thing he doesn't know about us."
"Can we close the door?" Mabel asked with pure disgust all over her face.
"Aww, three more minutes?" Stan begged.
"No more minutes!" Screamed a familiar Southern voice who then ran up and slammed the door shut.
The person who just did that, turned out to be Lil' Gideon in his Lil' blue pyjamas and looking frantic as he slammed it shut.
"You will not look at it again!" Gideon screamed at them.
"Gideon?!" Stan reacted in surprise.
"What are you doing here?" Dipper asked in surprise and anger since Gideon was the last person he wished to see here.
"Well, for your information, I was sleeping and minding my own business when suddenly, I woke up in this weird place that looks like a painting!" Gideon exclaimed.
"Hey Gideon, do you have any more memories of you checking yourself out?" Soos asked. "Because dude, those were hilarious."
"You won't be looking at anymore!" Gideon screamed while pointing a finger at the current Mr Mystery.
"Wait, wait a second." Pacifica said. "If we're meant to be inside Gideon's head, why is he here? If he's not a subconscious?"
"Wait, ya'll thought I was in my head?" Gideon asked. "I thought I might've been in Stanley's head since I saw a bizarre memory of him feeding a cracker to his belly button."
Ford froze with an unsure response, while Stan was embarrassed as he stood behind his brother.
"Stanley, I don't think my mind can even explain what you do in your downtime." Ford commented.
"Hey dues, look whose memory I just found." Soos said as he stared at an open door.
The gang started to look at what Soos was looking at, which just so happened to be a 9 year old Soos chasing a bunny.
The nine year old Soos laughed as he chased the little rabbit, playfully like he was trying to catch it.
"Come on Easter bunny, I want to see how you make those chocolate eggs." The little Soos laughed as he chased the rabbit.
Soos then laughed at his child self and said, "Oh dudes, I was such a weird kid."
"Wait, if we ain't in Gideon's meemory and if we ain't in Stanley's meemory and if we ain't in Seuss' meemory then that means, we must be in all our meemories!" Old Man McGucket said like a scientist concluding a case.
"But why all our memories?" Pacifica asked. "Is there something we're meant to be looking for?"
"Not exactly." Replied a sinister voice.
The gang turned around and saw a familiar blue lizard wearing a signature suit and tie with slick back hair. Well, familiar to Stan and Ford.
"I'm looking for something in one your mind's." Toffee replied.
"Hey Ford, it's the Scalesman!" Stan exclaimed happily. "Hey Scalesman, how have ya been?"
"I am not a Scalesman." Toffee sighed in annoyance.
"Wait, you know him?" Dipper asked.
"Oh yeah, he and Ford got tossed into another universe along with my illegally adopted daughter, Janna…."
"Not gonna ask how that works." Wendy commented.
"….Where we met Ford's evil ex girlfriend whom he was still in love with and left her only because he just realised she was a tyrant. While me and Janna were not doing anything criminal, Ford and her got back together. But me and Janna discovered a clone that was a mixture of Ford and his girlfriend thanks to her evil second-in-command. So, me, Janna and Ford ran away from the evil clone while Ford's girlfriend defended her off away from us and I hope she's okay because I would really like to hear some embarrassing stories from her about my brother." Stan didn't even take a deep breath after he explained his long story, an act that surprised a lot of them, including Ford.
"Is that what you guys were doing?" Mabel asked.
"Wait, why didn't you tell us that?" Dipper asked.
"We were gonna." Stan replied. "But Ford didn't want to because he was scared that Mabel might laugh at him when he said he had a girlfriend."
"Grunkle Ford had a girlfriend?!" Mabel exclaimed in shock.
"Silence!" Toffee demanded. "You're all wondering what I'm looking for. I can tell you figured out where you are. You are inside a place where all your memories are in one ginormous location. Which came about because I allowed an idiot to join my Horsemen." Just then, Toffee sat on a chair that had arrived out of nowhere. "Inside one of your head's, you have something of mine that I desire and unfortunately, I already know what it is, but you don't."
"Wait, whose memory are we looking for?" Dipper asked.
"Look, I can give you the code for my safe if that's what you're looking for." Pacifica interjected.
"Wait, you have a safe?" Stan asked in surprise before grabbing Pacifica and shaking her. "What's the password, kid?!"
"It's not her memory I'm looking for." Toffee explained. "I'm looking for what's in your memory, Mr Pines."
Stan froze in shock and surprise when Toffee mentioned his name. What did he want him for? Did he mean him? Or did he mean his nephew or brother?
Soos then shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows, maybe it's not Stanley. It could be either Stan, Ford or Dipper."
"No, Stanley Pines." Toffee responded.
"Or maybe it's Stanford, not Stanley since he ain't that smert." Old Man McGucket theorised.
"Hey!" Stan angrily exclaimed.
"True, but it's not Stanford." Toffee replied. "I want what's inside Stanley's head."
Everyone froze and stared at the sweating Stan, who had fear all over his face. What could this lizard be after? His passwords? Anything but his passwords!
"What are you looking for, you poor excuse for a new stage in human evolution!" Wendy exclaimed.
"Poor excuse for a new stage in human evolution?" Robbie queried.
"Sorry, that was the best I got." Wendy apologised.
"I won't tell you." Toffee replied. "But, I can give you the chance to find the memory since you care about this pathetic waste of an old man."
"Hey, my Grunkle is not pathetic!" Mabel argued. "Sure, he may look out of the weather…." Mabel then pointed to Stan, who was slouching while flies were flying over him.
Stan then realised that there were flies flying around him and stared at them, very confused. "Wait, what are flies doing in here?!" Stan asked.
"So, I wish all of you luck into finding my dream and when you do, you can go free and I'll never bother you." Toffee explained. "Just let me know when you do. Now, I wish you luck. Time to split you up."
"Why are you gonna split us up?" Stan asked.
"Doesn't that seem kind of pointless?" Soos asked.
"Adds to the fun." Toffee replied before tapping his foot on the floorboard. Once Toffee did that, the floorboards swallowed Dipper, Pacifica, Ford and Stan first before moving to Wendy, Soos, McGucket and Robbie.
"Guys!" Mabel exclaimed before she and Gideon got swallowed by the floor boards.
Toffee smiled sinisterly before taking a long sip of some Mewnian swamp water and turning to someone on his right. A man with brown hair, pointy nose, a lab coat, black shirt, dark green pants and black shoes.
"Wait, when did you get that?" The scientist asked.
"It's a dream, don't question it." Toffee replied before taking a sip of his drink.
The scientist then looked towards the reader that is currently reading this fanfic and informed them, "Now this part of the story is gonna be told in three segments so it adds either creativity or laziness."
"What are you doing?" Toffee asked the scientist.
"Uh…..Explaining the-"
"I meant, what are you doing out of my memory?" Toffee asked while threateningly glaring at the scientist. "Go back in there, you're not even the real pharmacist I was briefly stuck with."
"Why does everyone keep calling me a pharmacist?!" The pharmacist exclaimed in annoyance. "Anyway, on to segment 1."
Wendy, Robbie, McGucket and Soos.
In a hallway surrounded by hatches and doors, Wendy, Robbie, Soos and Old Man McGucket fell through the ceiling and landed on the floor below all on top of each other.
They all soon stood up and started to analyse their surroundings. The corridor was very narrow with random doors hung up on the wall like pictures. And beside some of them were doorways to more memories.
"Aww man, why did we have to be part of this?" Robbie asked. "Can't I have a summer where Dipper and Mabel don't show up?"
"Hey!" Wendy angrily exclaimed at her ex. "Without them, I would've jumped off a cliff because of boredom!"
"And why are you talking like that's happened more then once?" Soos asked.
"I-I-I-I don't know." Robbie stuttered. "Let's just find whatever that Scalesman wants and get out of here!"
"But, what are we looking for?" Wendy asked.
"I don't know." Soos replied. "Whatever it is, it's gotta be something either dangerous or important."
"Guys, I fund something!" McGucket announced while pointing to a door with a sign saying, 'dangerously important! Do not open.'
"Well, let's open it." Wendy said.
"Careful dudes, last time we opened a door that looked important we saw something I will never forget!" Soos' narrowed his eyes at his team.
"Well, it does say it's dangerously important." Wendy argued before opening the door to see something disturbing.
Dipper was wearing a towel while using a comb as a microphone and singing his favourite song.
"Disco girl, coming through, that girl is you." Dipper sang while Soos, Wendy and Robbie were disgusted, McGucket was quite intrigued.
"Well, if this was what we were lucking for, I say let's take it!" McGucket exclaimed.
"That's definitely not it." Said the disgusted Wendy.
"I'm gonna use this to psychologically mess with him." Robbie said before Wendy closed the door.
"Okay, there were three things I didn't want." Wendy commented. "One: Stuck in a dream. Two: Seeing Dipper in a towel. And three: Realising that Dipper is a fan of Icelandic pop songs."
"Well, I guess we have to keep looking." Robbie announced before moving to the next door which was playing a memory of Mabel riding a pony.
"Ride! Ride!" Mabel exclaimed. "Ride so I can prove to Dipper that…That…What was I trying to prove to Dipper?"
"I don't know." Robbie replied before closing the door.
Soos then opened another door. This one had Gideon, inspecting himself in a mirror while dressed in red swimming trunks.
"Looking good handsome." Gideon said to reflection. "Why thank you."
"Aww, gross dude." Soos said before closing the door.
"Hey, there's another important one." McGucket said before opening the cracked door to see himself staring back at him.
"Hi McGucket." The other McGucket greeted the crazy inventor.
"Why, hello there other me." Old Man McGucket greeted back.
"What you doing?"
"Looking for a memory belonging to Stanley."
"Sounds dengerous."
"So far, nothing wild or spooka hasn't been causing any of those harsh darn shenanigans."
"That's great."
"I know."
The two Old Man McGucket's stared at each other while smiling at each other with their eyes looking very crossed.
"Hey dudes, I found a projection room." Soos announced out loud.
"Oh, cool." Wendy commented. "What does it have to do with what we're looking for?"
"If we're looking for something and we're in a dream, why hasn't anyone thought of thinking of like arrows to guide us?" Robbie asked.
"Did you?" Wendy asked.
"Yeah and nothing's happened." Robbie replied.
"There's a sign saying 'In case you need information.' Soos informed them.
"Well, let's get some popcon and watch it!" McGucket exclaimed before a box of popcorn popped out of nowhere and into his hand. "Best dream ever!"
The four walk into the projection room where there was an arrow leading them out of the projection room and straight into a theatre with a huge screen in front of them.
They each sat next to each other where McGucket was chowing down on the popcorn.
"I could use some popcorn as well, dudes." Soos said before a tub of popcorn proofed in front of him. "Aww, cool dudes."
"This movie better be good." Robbie said. "And I hope there's previews. I really like movie trailers. Much better then the actual movie experience."
"Shh, it's starting." Wendy said.
On the screen there was a warning that read 'Do not record this memory projection. Piracy isn't a victimless crime. It affects movies and their filmmakers and their box office. I mean, that's like releasing the movie in theatres and a streaming app at the same time. Could you imagine the craziness that can occur from that?'
Then it cut to a chair and the mysterious lizard known as Toffee sat on it and crossed his legs and placed his hands together.
"If you are the person I am talking to, Star Butterfly, then welcome to my little movie memory." The evil lizard announced. "Here, it will explain why I wanted to destroy magic and how I came back. So, I hope you have plenty snacks and beverages because it's gonna be a long story. And please don't leave to go to the bathroom when something important is about to happen, it's really irritating."
"Is it a bad time to mention I want to go to the bathroom?" Old Man McGucket asked.
"Yeah." Wendy replied. "Wait, how can you pee in a dream?"
"I am."
Wendy, Soos and McGucket looked behind them and saw Robbie two seats above them peeing in a urinal. "I just imagined a urinal."
"Robbie, sit back down!" Wendy demanded. "You're lucky he's just explaining his favourite beverages!"
"…..Mustafa Juice, Pitt Cola and my favourite, West Mewnian Swamp Water. Specifically, from the bottle." Toffee explained as he finished his list. "Okay, I hope you're seated because we're gonna start at the very beginning."
As Toffee was explaining his story footage from his past life was being shown.
"I was born from an egg many years ago. Along with my brother, Liquorice; and my sister, Peppermint. My parents, Cinnamon and Taffy were miners who mined for diamonds filled with magic that can help power their town's power for thousands of years. I was a happy child, sure I may have seemed derange but I loved my brother and sister as well as my parents. We went on many hiking trips, camping trips and many trips to the greatest store in the multiverse, Quest Buy. When I was three years old, my brother and I witnessed something that would change my view on magic, forever. Me and my brother were watching Mom mine for some diamonds but one impact of her pickaxe caused the magic diamond to react badly and blast her tail off. Sure blood on two little innocent boys is traumatising, but when you think about the blood belonging to your mother, that's disturbing. A little anatomy about my species, we are not only immortal, we can also heal and regrow our limbs, even our own heads. Why does this factor into the story? Because when my mother lost her tail, it never grew back. It was at that moment, three years old, where the only thing you'll hate are vegetables and siblings; I started hating magic. After my mother lost her tail, she was emotionally crippled. She never even smiled, never cried or never got angry with us maybe that lack of personality caused her to die five years later. Over the years, me and my siblings personalities started to differ. I became more cold, emotionless and unresponsive towards my family, my brother became obsessed with becoming an ice cream maker even though he doesn't like ice cream. While my sister, became very foul mouthed. Here's an example."
A young Toffee, (Long hair and wearing a suit and tie) was sitting on a chair in the kitchen reading a magazine about building an army, when his sister walked in looking frustrated.
"Hey Toffee…" Peppermint said, trying to gain her brother's attention. "…Can you fugwolling help me?! I'm in a bad fugwolling mood right now and the last fugwolling thing I need is someone giving me some fugwolling shint."
"My poor sister. And about my Dad: He didn't even try once to connect with us after Mom died. When I eventually enrolled into college, I was top of my class until the day where I was told to write an essay about magic but that got me kicked out. But sometimes, a little negative, became a positive. Turns out there were many people like me our there whose lives were ruined by magic and they wanted to destroy. And in that moment, I became the youngest leader of a multiversal revolution. But my revolution unfortunately got me banned from my dimensions, but I never gave up. I declared war on the planet, Mewni, the origin of magic. We fought for many years, but we still kept going strong due to our healing abilities. We were bound to win, weren't we? Well, we were until Queen Moon used a bit of dark magic to chop my finger off and that caused my army to retreat. But me: I was never the coward. Moon hadn't won, I would one day destroy magic. Years went by and I took the time to study multiverses and more importantly, magic and how to destroy it, but I wanted to take my time. I decided to get revenge on the wand that made me lose my finger and then, I will get revenge on the thing that ruined my life."
"This dude is a very complex character." Soos commented.
"It would be a shame if no one learned more about him." Robbie said.
"Luckily, we're learning lots about him." Wendy commented.
"I have nothing to say axecept I'm learning!" Old Man McGucket exclaimed.
"But, how was I gonna get the wand without the army? I had no one except me, until an opportunity arrived. I auditioned for the role of henchman for some little ugly disgrace who wanted the wand named Ludo. I got the role obviously and decided to try and make my way on top of the metaphorical food chain and knock that little runt off and he somehow made it easy. He treated his army like losers and I used that to my advantage and they kicked him out. I had to find a way to get Star to me and it's a good thing she developed an attachment for poor Marco Diaz. It worked of course and Star did what I told her, but a part of me entered the wand. It was dark and scary and confusing at first, but I managed to remain calm. Once Ludo found the piece of the wand, he started using it. And that, gave me an advantage to manipulate him and I did and then, I possessed his body. I killed one of the members of the Magic High Council and started destroying all the magic in Mewni. After I destroyed the magic, I got my finger back from Moon, it was like, being reunited with an old friend. I defeated those who tried to thwart me and started walking home to see my estranged father and siblings again after many years. But what I wasn't prepared for, was Star bringing back the magic and turning into a butterfly and reduced me into nothing but a skeleton."
"Oh just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, the lizard man is a ghost." Robbie complained.
"But I survived."
"Oh, never mind."
"I was reduced to nothing but a skeleton, slowly healing as I crawled towards my enemies. But another thing I didn't anticipate, was being crushed by Ludo! Can you imagine the humiliation one would receive after being killed by a little pathetic waste like Ludo. So yeah, I was dead. Until I was revived by a being of all knowing power. A being that words could describe as something simple, yet with a mind as complex as mine. He knew everything, from the day I was born to how I originally died. But for some reason, he thought it would be funny if my finger wasn't regrown. And to add to the so-called humour, he threw me into a universe where I was stuck with an idiot who came up machines that always ended with inator. I don't even know what word means either. It was at this point I realised, if I wanted to get out of this universe, I had to play along until the right moment. Which I did. I helped him with his inators, I got defeated by a platypus in a fedora; You can laugh now…."
Wendy, Robbie, Soos and Old Man McGucket laughed when Toffee mentioned his humiliating defeats.
"….Now that you've had your laugh. The worst part is, I had to endure in musical numbers."
In the movie, Dr Heinz Doofenshmirtz was dancing while in a top hat and a stick while background dancers were kicking their legs out. While Toffee just looked annoyed and frustrated.
"….With this Froginator, I will turn those into worthless, slimy, fly eating….."
Toffee sighed. "AAAAAAMMMMPHIBIANNNNNNNSSSSSSSS" Toffee sung the final note like a Frank Sinatra style singer, something that Doofenshmirtz was amazed by.
"Oh wow, that was beautiful." The pharmacist said. "You should sing more."
"No." Toffee replied.
"Okay."
"So, after the idiot built a machine that can travel to multiple dimensions thanks to some manipulating, I kicked Doofenshmirtz out of his incorporation and got the hands on the Dimensionhoppinginator. I left before Perry could have the chance to stop me and I left a bomb before that semi-aquatic egg laying mammal of action could stop me. I assumed it went off because he didn't follow. Once I got to the other side, I realised I was on another world, a world of the one thing I despised, magic. There were elvish creatures using it to cast spells and learn at schools! What kind of nightmarish realm was this?! I eventually found out I was in a place called The Boiling Isles, a place where magic was everywhere. Luckily enough, I wasn't there for long, since some very slender and foxy witch named Eda, who had a door that lead to the human realm. Or so I thought, because it turned out it lead to a world with walking, talking frogs….Which made me setting the door on fire a very bad idea, pretty much."
In the film, Eda Clawthorne was walking to the door that lead to the frog world, but stopped once it caught fire and turned to ash.
"Oh not again!" Eda exclaimed. "Why does this keep happening?" Eda then pulled a smile and said, "Well, best get the door that leads to the human realm. I wonder what interesting junk they have there. Hope I don't bring anyone interesting to the Boiling Isles."
"At least that's how I like to think it went. Any-who, I found out I was in a world named Amphibia. A world ran by all sorts of amphibians. I became acquainted with the leader of the toad army, Captain Grime who told me the only way to get out of this realm was to find a box that lead to the human realm. But unfortunately, only two ever existed. Least that's what I think because if I got it wrong, then that's gonna cause some very bad consequences to a certain author. Luckily, I found the other one and ended up on a lava planet where I met, the one person who taught me my powers."
In the movie, Toffee stood up and looked around the very active lava planet when someone approached him, wearing a very black suit with funny little buttons, along with a black helmet, black boots, black gloves and a black cape. The sinister black suited figure ignited a laser sword that somehow didn't startle Toffee.
"I talked my way out of it, of course, or so I thought because the figure known only as Vader, sense greater things in me. He sensed that I had something inside of me called, The Force and I was strong with it. I stayed as his apprentice, there I learnt the history of the force and found out that it has varied sources of how one is strong with the force. Some say it's faith, other's say it's something called Midi-Chlorians. Under the guidance of Darth Vader, I learnt how to use the force to lift rocks and to release lightning from my fingers. But, I also became very talented in the art of lightsaber fighting and beaten Vader 9 times in 10 duels. But once I became more powerful than Vader himself, he felt intimidated and tried to execute me. Luckily, I was saved by my master who tampered with his suit and left him choking. It was at this moment, I was told by my master that I was one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse and he tasked me with finding them if he was to fail the first time and unfortunately, he failed. Knowing I'd have to be here for a while, I had to blend in with the crowd and took on the form of a certain celebrity."
The movie showed Toffee putting on a ring on his missing finger, causing him to change. His skin turned white, his snout started to disappear, his hair started to turn ginger, his tail disappeared and stubble started to poke out of his face.
Toffee then looked at himself in the mirror and to the shock of everyone, he was none other than Michael C Hall.
"No!" Wendy exclaimed.
"It can't be!" Soos reacted so bad that he almost choked on his popcorn.
"Oh dude." Robbie said.
"I knew his voice sounded familliam." Old Man McGucket said in shock.
"I blended into Gravity Falls as this certain beloved celebrity along with a change of voice. It took a few tries but a certain one, was perfect for me. After the whole Darkness incident where an evil entity tried to blacken the sun, I came out of hiding and decided to have someone go into Stan's mind to retrieve him. How did I know my master was in Stanley Pines' head? Before my master vanished, he gave me message, telling me it was time. And gave me the location to where he was, which just so happened to be in Stanley's mind. I retrieved my guide, which was Pennysmart, the singing clown. He went to his dream, but he never came back and I assumed he failed. So, while I figured the next phases of my plan, I thought I'd retrieve the information regarding the remaining horsemen and that I did. Charleston Northwest gave the information on who they were and there, I got a version of Mason Pines who was like his sister, thanks to him leaving a strand of his eyelash at the Northwest party and complicated DNA tampering. I then retrieved Minara even though it took some convincing, since she had the mind of an aggressive newborn baby. And finally, I turned Preston Northwest into a cold hearted leader of an undead army. Now, our time has come. I will retrieve my master and I will let armageddon ensure and the extinction of magic. Now you know, Princess, now, are you gonna try? Or are you gonna give up?"
Once the movie ended, Wendy, Soos, Robbie and Old Man McGucket were nothing but speechless at the evil lizard. Somehow, they feel they know who his boss is, but it's impossible because he's meant to be dead.
"We have to find it, now!" Wendy exclaimed.
"Aww dude, I was gonna finish my popcorn." Soos groaned.
"Soos, there's no time!" Wendy yelled in his face while a chiming bell went off.
Robbie and Old Man McGucket listened to the bell with Robbie saying, "Wendy, I think we're too late." Before he, Wendy, Soos and McGucket vanished into thin air. Leaving the theatre, empty.
Dipper, Pacifica, Stan and Ford
In another corridor, this time with a large number of all sorts of varied sitting spaces, including wooden chairs, couches, even sitting chairs for babies. All of a sudden, Dipper, Pacifica, Stan and Ford all fell from the ceiling, all landing on one another.
Ford stood up and dusted himself off. He helped his brother up, who was crushing Dipper and Pacifica underneath his weight which didn't kill them, luckily.
"Okay, out of all the things that have happened to me over these last two years, getting crushed by my Grunkle was something I definitely never wanted." Dipper complained.
"So, what are we looking for?" Pacifica asked.
"That's what I want Stan to tell us." Ford replied.
"Look, I don't know what the Scalesman wants." Stan replied. "Heck, I've never even wronged him or took money from him! At least I think I didn't!"
"Stanley, think hard." Ford demanded while grabbing him by the shoulder. "Did you take something from him?"
"Look Ford, you've done a lot of weird stuff during your wild inter dimensional adventures, and I haven't." Stan protested.
"Enough you two." Dipper interjected. "If we bicker we'll never find what we're looking for."
"I agree with Dipper." Pacifica said. "We gotta find what we're looking for before Toffee gets it. And if one of these doors isn't one of them then…." Pacifica used her dream powers to imagine four balms of lipstick and handed them to the respective male Pines.
"Why lipstick?" Stan asked. "Couldn't I have a red pen?" Just then, a red pen popped out of nowhere and Stan narrowed his eyes at it, "No, it's too late!"
"I suggest we go through every one of them." Ford said. "Because, I tried imagining arrows to guide us, but nothing."
"Whose in control of this dream?!" Stan exclaimed.
Soon enough, the four started moving around the corridor to try and find the location of the certain door.
Dipper opened one of the doors to see Mabel jamming gummy worms up her nose, a sight that disgusted Dipper that he slammed the door shut and marked an 'X' to signify that this wasn't the one.
Pacifica then opened another door, this one having one where a 10 year old Soos was playing his signature electric keyboard. The Northwest knew this wasn't the one and she closed the door before marking the door with an 'X.' She opened the door next to it to reveal present day Soos, playing with his electric keyboard.
"I am doing nothing with my life." Soos said to himself.
Pacifica then closed the door and marked it with another 'X.'
Ford opened another door, this one marked as 'private.' The six fingered man looked in and saw Wendy talking to a therapist. The same therapist who Wendy decided to go to after the incident at the nightmare in the Mystery Shack.
"….and then, I stabbed the shapeshifter, who took the form of myself, with an axe. In a way, it was like killing myself."
"And, did you return this Dipper's feelings?" The therapist who some of you may know as Agent Rachel P, asked her.
"I was flattered, but I told him I was too old for him and we stayed friends." Wendy replied.
"Good."
"Huh?"
"Eh?"
Ford was quite surprised when he realised that his own nephew had feelings for a girl who was way out of his league. "Kids gotta learn." Ford said before closing the door and marking it with an 'X.'
"Hey guys, I found one that says top secret!" Stan exclaimed.
"I hope we're not gonna see what Gideon found earlier." Dipper said as he and Pacifica rendezvoused with them.
"About that Stanley, why were you feeding a cracker to your belly button?" Ford asked with a disgusted eyebrow raised.
"I do weird stuff when no one's around, don't judge me." Stan responded.
Stan opened the door to reveal Pacifica, in a towel using a hairbrush as a microphone and singing a familiar song.
"Disco girl! Coming through, that girl is you!" Pacifica sang.
Just then, Dipper walked in on what the Northwest was doing, causing her to drop her hairbrush and for her towel to nearly fall off.
"Don't come in! Don't come in!" Pacifica screamed.
Stan then slammed the door with a huge smile on his face and he turned to see Pacifica and Dipper turning red.
"Wow, I now know why Dipper approves of you." Stan commented while Ford marked the door with an 'X.' "Come along you two, so I can humiliate something more."
While an embarrassed Pacifica continued to follow Stan, Dipper was flashing red, something that Ford took notice of.
"You're very red, did you see something else when you interrupted Pacifica?" Ford asked his nephew.
"No!" Dipper replied loudly. "Even if I did….." Dipper rubbed his shoulder awkwardly and then ran away.
Ford smiled and sighed, "My nephew is growing up."
Around 53 seconds later, the gang continued to look through doors, but they still came out empty handed.
"This would've been so much easier if they marked these with names." Pacifica complained.
"I agree." Ford said. "Honestly, this has to be one of the most flawed places I've ever been to."
"Uh….Every time I look in one of those doors marked top secret, instead of finding what I'm looking for, all I find are some strange things people do." Stan complained.
"Like feeding crackers to your belly button?" Ford queried.
"Touché." Stan retorted.
Pacifica then approached a door and opened it to see Toffee and Doofenshmirtz watching three guys standing by a mic through a window.
"Okay Toffee, I know you're not a musical guy, but could you at least give me your opinion on this jingle?" Doofenshmirtz requested.
"I suppose." Toffee replied.
"Okay boys, take it from the top." Doofenshmirtz requested to his guys.
"A one, a two, a one two, three…."
"Doofenshmirtz and Toffee incorporated."
"Eh….."
"Heinz, that song about a platypus controlling you is more top 10 worthy then that." Toffee replied.
Pacifica laughed and then closed the door and marked the 'X.' "I gotta show Dipper this."
While Dipper started to look through another door marked 'Top secret.' In this one, he saw that it was Pacifica looking at herself in the mirror looking anxious about something.
"Okay Pacifica, how are you gonna do this?" Pacifica asked herself in the mirror. The Northwest sighed while Dipper watched the memory, worried about what she's concerned about. "I don't want to do it, but what if I should, just to spare the loneliness?" Pacifica picked up a glass of water placed on the side and took a sip of it. "Oh Pacifica, how will he react? I don't want him to be heartbroken…..But, even if we were in a long distance relationship I….I…Could end up kissing someone else due loneliness."
Dipper, not being an idiot, knew that Pacifica was talking about none other than him. Pacifica, wanting to break up with him? It can't be. The first relationship Dipper will have will be terminated. This kind of news was making Dipper worry and tear up as he watched Pacifica tear up as well. "What kind of girlfriend breaks up with someone for something that petty?"
Dipper sighed and closed the door as he turned around to see Pacifica standing in place, knowing what Dipper saw.
"So that's it?" Dipper asked as he wiped away the tears. "This is how it ends?"
"Dipper, I…."
"Paz…." Dipper looked away from his girlfriend since he didn't wish to let her see him cry. "….I…..I….I don't know what to do about…..About this!"
"Dipper, I know you're upset." Pacifica said, trying to be gentle with her boyfriend. "But…But..I never meant that! I knew this was stupid."
"But Pacifica, we can try and make long distance relationships work." Dipper said. "I mean, I'll call you after school each day and maybe-"
"Dipper, I just don't want to hear your voice, I want you." Pacifica interjected, now with tears falling from her face.
"How will it work?!" Dipper asked. "I can't be at two places at once!"
"You have that cloning machine." Pacifica responded.
"So, you'd cheat on me with me?" Dipper asked. "And secondly: What if it gets wet?!"
"Dipper….." Pacifica sighed. "…I've been having this worry for a while. I want us to last even after summer ends, even when you go home. But I'm doubting we will last even in a long distance relationship. Because, you live in California and I live in Oregon."
"Pacifica, I-I-I-I-I don't want us to break up." Dipper said.
"Neither do I, but what if we have to?" Pacifica asked.
Dipper didn't want him and Pacifica to break up since this was probably the most successful he's ever been with a girl and to leave it off like that would be too upsetting for him.
"Hey kids!" Stan called out. "You can continue your argument later, I found another top secret door!"
Dipper and Pacifica slowly walked towards the two old twins and watched as Ford opened the door to see Toffee along with Minara, Preston and Mabel Dipper, all standing in a rock with an army of Unfeelings and undead skeletons at their disposal, a sight that worried the four.
"Wait, the Unfeeling?" Ford queried. "But Donna was in control of them…." It was at that moment, Ford realised that Donna Atrix, his girlfriend had been killed when he noticed Minara in charge.
"Wait Pacifica, isn't that your Dad?" Dipper asked.
"He's looking a little blue." Stan quipped.
"I don't know what's wrong with him, but he can raise the dead." Pacifica explained.
"Wait, you knew about this?" Ford asked "And you never thought in telling us about that?"
"I had stuff going through my mind!" Pacifica protested.
"Like breaking up with her boyfriend!" Dipper exclaimed.
"No, I was thinking of a way we could be together!" Pacifica argued. "But, I kept being reminded that we live so far away!"
"And you think that long distance won't work?!" Dipper asked angrily.
"It won't work!" Pacifica argued.
"Can someone make us disappear?!" Stan groaned before he, Dipper, Ford and Pacifica disappeared. "Thank you!"
Mabel and Gideon
Yet again, elsewhere, Mabel and Gideon had fallen from the ceiling and landed on a carpet.
"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Gideon groaned. "That hurt."
"What hurts is I have to be stuck with you!" Mabel retorted as she sat up.
"Why?" Gideon asked. "What's wrong with me? Haven't I been trying to change?"
"Well in case you've forgotten, you did possess poor Tad Strange." Mabel said.
"Wasn't everybody?" Gideon retorted. "Heck, you were selling tickets for them!"
"Well, I thought I'd assist!" Mabel argued back.
"Uh….You are so hypocritical sometimes!" Gideon said.
"You know what, I'm not even going to discuss this." Mabel said as she folded her arms. "I suggest we start looking for whatever the Scalesman wants and get out of this mysterious dream realm."
"You actually want to give Toffee the thing he wants?" Gideon angrily asked. "Could it be something that is world ending?!"
"I wasn't gonna give it to him, Gideon." Mabel retorted.
"Oh don't say that if you weren't! He could be listening!"
"Let's just shut up and find the door!" Mabel demanded.
The two rivals decided to put aside their differences and try and search for the thing they are looking for, despite the fact they don't know what it is.
Mabel approached a door marked 'Top secret.' She smiled and opened it to reveal, Wendy in a towel and using a toothbrush as a microphone.
"Am I blanchin', Girl we blanchin' I live up in a mansion."
Just then, Kevin Corduroy opened the door and saw his sister in the embarrassing position and she went red with embarrassment.
"Have you ate your pants?" Kevin asked his sister.
Mabel closed the door and said, "I am not telling Soos about this."
Gideon walked towards another door marked 'Top secret' and opened it, but what he saw is something that will make him regret everything.
"Hey Mr Tummy." Stan said to his stomach.
"Hey Mr Stan." Stan, used his hands to move his stomach like it was talking back to him.
"Are you hungry?"
"Yes."
"Eat them crackers."
Gideon slammed the door shut and turned to face Mabel, who had amusement on her face.
"Terrifying isn't it?" Mabel queried.
"What is he even doing?" Gideon asked.
"Some weird obsession of feeding food to his belly button." Mabel replied. "I saw him feeding a grape to his belly button. Not pleasant."
The two continued their search by going through door to door. Opening them and slamming them.
Gideon then opened another door, which had Dipper and Pacifica kissing. A sight that made Gideon raise an eyebrow. "Wait, they're dating?"
"Uh….Yeah?" Mabel replied questionably. "Did you not figure it out?"
"I…..Guess I didn't." Gideon awkwardly replied.
"Hold on, I think I found it." Mabel said to Gideon.
"You have?" Gideon queried before he ran up towards Mabel in excitement.
"Yup." Mabel replied before opening it up to reveal Gideon staring at himself in the mirror while wearing USA swimming trunks.
"Looking good handsome." Gideon said to his reflection. "No, not good, amazing."
Mabel laughed while Gideon glared at her and slammed the door shut. "Mabel, this is serious! Who knows what Toffee could be planning!"
"Why should you care?" Mabel asked. "You helped a maniac who almost ended the world last year!"
"And then I helped you!" Gideon retorted.
"But why should I trust you?!" Mabel asked.
"Because I'm trying to change!" Gideon replied. "You may think I'm not, but I am."
"Where's your proof?!" Mabel angrily asked.
"I didn't send any creepy notes." Gideon replied.
"You might've sent them to someone else."
"I've been helping the town."
"By hanging them on a flag pole by using their underwear?!"
"He was a bully who gave wedgies to everyone, including me."
"What about that one time where I…I…..I…..I….Well, I've been brushing my teeth twice a day."
"Eww, you brushed your teeth once a day?!" Mabel cringed. "I wouldn't say that's technically a noble thing, that's more personal hygiene."
"Hmm, good point." Gideon said.
"Why do I even care if you say you changed?" Mabel asked. "I know you're the same little Gideon. Besides, I only think you're saying you've changed so you can be with me."
"I don't even want to be with you, Mabel!" Gideon argued. "I don't even wish for you to be my girlfriend! I'm only saying I've changed to you because…..I want you to forgive me. Out of all the people whose lives I have ruined and caused to be a little sucky is because of me, I've ruined yours the worse. And I really do mean it Mabel, I am so, so sorry. I understand if you'll need time to forgive me, but-"
"Gideon." Mabel interjected. "I forgive you."
Gideon was at first surprised by Mabel's response, but he then smiled as she offered him a hug, which the Lil' TV star accepted.
Gideon then opened his eyes and noticed something in the distance. It appeared to be an elevator with an arrow pointing down with the word 'Warning.'
"Mabel, I think this is what we're meant to be looking for." Gideon commented as he unraveled himself from Mabel.
"What?" Mabel queried. "An elevator?"
"No." Gideon replied happily. "Whatever that warning is for, it surely leads to what we're looking for."
"You sure?" Mabel asked. "Or is it a broken elevator?"
"One way to find out." Gideon replied before entering the elevator and pushing the down button.
"Hey Gideon, what about me?!" Mabel asked angrily.
"You do realise this is a one person elevator?"
Mabel looked to one of the signs and it did confirm that it was a one person elevator. "Oh."
"I'll be up in a few minutes." Gideon announced.
The elevator started going down while Mabel started waiting for when Gideon made his ascension.
After a few minutes, Mabel then heard Gideon scream like he saw the most terrifying thing in the existence of the multiverse.
Mabel then used her dream powers to make Gideon pop out of nowhere and land in front of her, looking terrified and traumatised.
"Gideon?!" Mabel exclaimed with worry.
"em pleH!" Gideon cried.
"Gideon?" Mabel asked the shivering Gideon worry.
Whatever happened down there must've traumatised Gideon to the core. Did he see Stan feeding his belly button a burger? Stan's time in prison? Or something worse then that?
"Gideon!" Mabel exclaimed with worry. "Gideon!"
"You really are too trustworthy." Said the sinister voice of Toffee.
Mabel turned around and noticed the lizard was now sitting behind her. "Shame that really traumatised him because he was supposed to give it to me."
"What?" Mabel queried with worry.
"Oh yeah." Toffee replied. "He and I made a deal in the real world."
Toffee then used his dream powers to bring everyone back to him. Dipper, Mabel, Pacifica, Stan, Ford, McGucket, Wendy, Soos and Robbie all popped out of nowhere while Toffee was adjusting his tie.
"Dude, darkest movie ever." Soos commented.
"Wait, did you find what we were looking for?" Stan asked.
"Gideon did, for him." Mabel replied while pointing an accusing finger at Toffee.
Toffee's cold calm demeanour then suddenly turned into sinister joy as he exclaimed, "Surprise!" And then, it went back to his cold calm demeanour.
"Honestly, not surprising considering what happened between us and him last summer." Dipper replied.
"Oh Dipper, always suspicious of the little things." Toffee commented. "You're all probably wondering why Gideon was going to give me what I wanted. He and I made a deal."
"Gideon, you little fat reflection admiring filth!" Wendy exclaimed before kicking his body.
"That's no way to treat our guest." Toffee said before, freezing everyone in place. "Come on you 9, you should've expected it. Got something to say about your stupidity?"
The eye movements from their surprised faces spoke everything while Toffee just pulled a disappointed face. "Oh yeah, you can't have your say in this. Anyway, are you gonna give it to me, Gideon?"
The disturbed Gideon then stood up and dusted himself off and wiped the sweat off his face.
"I have it." Gideon replied. "Here, take it go!" Gideon then slammed the door into Toffee's chest, an act that surprised him.
"Just take it!" Gideon demanded.
"Don't you want your gift?" Toffee asked. "Don't you want your chance to be with Mabel? A girl who has rejected you time and time again. Don't you want that?"
"I don't want that anymore." Gideon replied. "Just free them from their frozen state."
"Free them?" Toffee queried.
The lil' former TV star pointed at Dipper, Pacifica, Mabel, Ford, Stan, Soos, Wendy, McGucket and Robbie, who were still frozen but their eyes still looking surprised.
"Hmm, we had a deal." Toffee responded with a hint of reluctance. "I suppose I could free them." Toffee clicked his fingers and unfroze everyone who was frozen thanks to Toffee's dream powers.
Everyone shook their heads as they tried to understand what had just happened to them and get their balance correct.
"Dude." Robbie groaned.
"Dube." McGucket groaned as well.
"Gideon, you traitor!" Ford yelled. "Why did you want to make that deal?!"
"Uh….And just when I was forgetting about how much of a little creep you were!" Pacifica yelled angrily.
"I know! I know!" Gideon repeated. "But we're gonna leave when Toffee opens the door to check if I got him what he wanted."
"Hmm, good point." Toffee commented. "You could've gotten the memory of my death by mistake."
"Whaaaaaaaaaattttt?" Mabel reacted.
"Dude, me, Soos, Robbie and McGucket will tell you later." Wendy replied.
Toffee smiled sinisterly as he slowly opened the door while Gideon was sweating while the rest were anticipating the awful thing that Toffee could've wanted.
But when Toffee opened the door, he was greeted with something even more terrifying.
"Hey Mr tummy."
"Hey Mr Stan."
"Are you hungry?"
"Yes."
It was at this moment, Toffee realised he had been tricked. But before he could do something about it, he was hit in the face by an ice ball from Gideon, causing the lizard man to fly backwards into a wall.
Gideon cracked his neck and said, "Nobody messes with the people why can defeat the great evil!"
"Gideon?" Mabel queried in surprise. "Is this a trick?"
"Yeah it was!" Gideon replied. "Now shut up and start blasting! Use your dream powers!"
Toffee got up and huffed before getting hit in the head by an axe. He pulled out while the wound healed, before getting hit in the chest by another axe, which he pulled out while his wound healed yet again.
"Unlimited axes!" Wendy exclaimed before throwing another axe.
"Toffee, meet the question mark blast!" Soos, like before, lifted his shirt up and blasted Toffee with question marks shooting out of his chests, causing his suit to get burnt.
"Uh…." Toffee groaned before two giant brass knuckles crashed in-between him.
"Try and sell that Scalesman!" Stan exclaimed.
Before Toffee could do anything, he got hit by a barrage of kitten heads that bit and licked him at the same time.
The humanoid lizard used his dream powers to make them disappear, but he was soon hit by an anvil that fell on his head.
"Woo wee!" McGucket cheered. "That happened to me once."
"How are you not dead?" Robbie asked before turning to Toffee and smiling. "Speaking of dead." Robbie then made a guitar come out of thin air, grabbed it and played one string, causing fire to shoot out and burning Toffee's clothes off, revealing his naked form which had a lot of abs on his stomach, something out of some kind of steamy fan art.
"I don't need any dream powers to use this weapon." Ford announced before pulling his freeze ray out and freezing Toffee's legs and waist. "You should put some pants on. There are kids in front of you."
"Chill out." Pacifica quipped before using her dream powers to hit Toffee in the face with giant lipstick. "Now you're pretty."
"Now Toffee, I say you let us out of this dream!" Dipper demanded. "Before things will get worse."
"Fine!" Toffee exclaimed. "I'll let you out! You've won anyway. But not this fight."
"Good." Dipper responded. "But can I do one more thing before you go?"
"Be quick." Toffee replied.
Dipper then used his dream powers to unfreeze Toffee and wrap him in cellophane and strapping him on what appeared to be an operating table.
Toffee wasn't disturbed, he just looked intrigued by this method. "Somehow I feel I've done this to some people."
Toffee then got shot up the ceiling thanks to Dipper's dream powers and then randomly exploded but unfortunately the explosion also engulfed the gang leading to….Dipper shooting out of the living room couch he was sleeping on, along with Pacifica who squirmed out. It was at this moment, Dipper and Pacifica realised it was still nighttime at the Mystery Shack and they were still in their pyjamas.
"We're still in the Shack." Dipper commented.
"No duh." Pacifica sarcastically replied.
The couple looked at each other with saddened looks and Pacifica sighed. "Dipper, I'm sorry."
"Look, if you want to break up, I will-"
"Don't suggest that." Pacifica interjected before hugging her boyfriend.
"Huh?" Dipper responded with confusion. "So, you're not gonna break up with me? But I didn't do some great big romantic gesture to win you back."
"Do you want to?" Pacifica asked with a flirtatious look.
"And blow half of the Shack's bank deposits?" Dipper queried. "No thanks." Dipper kissed his girlfriend on the head, an act that made the Northwest blush.
"I think we should give it a shot." Pacifica said. "This whole long distance relationship thing."
"Great." Dipper responded happily. "I can't wait to….Hear your voice."
"You dork, you're hearing it right now!" Pacifica then pushed Dipper on the floor where she was on top of him smiling flirtatiously while Dipper went red in the face.
Dipper expected another make out session but he was surprised when Pacifica suggested that they get back to bed.
Despite it being a girl's sleepover, Pacifica felt she was better sleeping with her boyfriend on the couch. They eventually got cosy and snuggled up and gave each other a goodnight kiss before falling fast asleep.
Despite the fact summer can't last forever, Dipper and Pacifica still want to make their relationship work since they love each other. Dipper loved Pacifica more than any mystery, while Pacifica loved Dipper more than her looks.
Epilogue
A disturbed Gideon was sitting on the kitchen table while drinking a cold class of water, looking traumatised from his dream experience.
Toffee then walked behind him, looking fine while drinking swamp water. "I won't kill you Gideon, I want you to be there."
"Why Toffee?!" Gideon asked angrily.
"Why?" Toffee queried while showing his missing finger. "I think the answer is self explanatory. Well, I best get going. See ya at the end." Toffee then closed the door while Gideon continued to drink his water.
Gideon then looked upwards while familiar laughter started ringing in his ear. "I need unicorn hair." Gideon said to himself.
