Somewhere in Gravity Falls and up in the mountains, two cars were parked on the edge of said mountain where four government agents from two separate branches were watching through binoculars, Toffee engaging in a fight with Dipper Pines and four other strange characters who don't look like they were from around here. Including a pharmacist who looked like he had been electrocuted.
"Why is there a pharmacist fighting an evil lizard in a nice suit?" Agent Trigger asked.
"I don't know." Agent Powers replied. "I just don't know."
"I can't even think of anything logical about this." Agent Rachel P said.
"Me neither." Richard P replied.
Just then, FBI agent Clyde Chiu arrived looking exhausted and tired, since he did run up a hill.
"Sorry, I was busy waiting for my letter." Clyde replied before handing Agent Powers his letter.
Powers read the letter while the other agents looked over him in an attempt to get a good look.
"This is a letter of resignation." Rachel said.
"Yup, I'm done." Clyde confirmed. "Which is shocking because, I was gonna quit. Good thing they did because I wasn't gonna drive all the way to Washington."
The agents, despite being relived that this annoying agent was no longer gonna be with them, were still kind of surprised.
"Well, we wish you good luck on whatever you wish to do as your career." Agent Powers said.
"And that is the one thing I know I'll be better at." Clyde said, looking quite proud. "I will-" Then the former FBI agent clasped on his stomach like he was about throw up. "Hold on…I…I think I'm-" Then the former FBI agent pulled a deck of cards from his mouth, an act that made the agents groan since Clyde was about to go back to his former hobby, magic. "I'm going back to magic." Clyde announced with an enthusiastic smile plastered on his face before spitting out a random card.
Four days later at the Mystery Shack, it had been quite eventful. Apart from untying Michael C Hall after realising him and Toffee were definitely not the same person, Dipper hadn't been given a lot of space since he returned from the Boiling Isles. Apart from his girlfriend not leaving him alone and smothering him quite a bit, Mabel was pestering Dipper about what the other parallel dimensions were like. But all Dipper wanted to do, was work on a way to defeat Toffee while others just wanted him to relax.
Dipper was sitting on the couch watching some nerdy comic book movie with Pacifica, who had her arms around her boyfriend, intending to not let him go. She kissed his cheek once again, something that made him chuckle a bit.
"Are you gonna keep doing that?" Dipper chuckled.
"I got my boyfriend back, you tell me." Pacifica replied quite flirtatiously before kissing his cheek again.
"Pacifica, I love you, but maybe this is a bit too much." Dipper said. "I need to do stuff to make sure Toffee doesn't attack."
"But he's frozen." Pacifica pointed out.
"I know, but have you forgotten your literally cold hearted Dad is after us." Dipper said.
"Come on Dipper!" Mabel exclaimed before jumping on the couch and knocking Pacifica off. "You need let loose, relax a little. Try not to think of Toffee."
"I know, but Toffee is on my mind a lot and I have to find a way to stop him." Dipper protested.
"Come on Dipper, don't do this man." William Zabka requested as he walked into the room, eating a packet of peanuts. "You need to relax. You just got back. Don't you wanna spend time with your girlfriend? Or your sister? Instead of asking questions?"
"The only question I have is, why are you still here?" Dipper asked.
"I don't know." William replied. "Guess I've grown attached to this place."
"Look guys, I appreciate you want me to relax, but there's stuff I really wanna do." Dipper said before jumping off the couch. "I'm gonna study how to stop Toffee."
Dipper walked out of the living room, not concerning himself when Pacifica and Mabel both pulled a sad face over one of the most important people in their lives deciding to not take a break from everything that has happened.
"Oh boy, he's acting like Ralph Macchio." William Zabka commented.
"What am I gonna do with him?" Pacifica asked sadly as she sat back on the couch.
"We just need to encourage him some more." Mabel replied. "And I'm a master encourager so I'll get the job done in no time."
Just then, Grenda and Candy ran into the living room holding a random poster and shoved in Mabel's face.
"Mabel! Mabel! Mabel! Mabel! Mabel! Mabel!" Candy and Grenda exclaimed in very excited unison.
"What?! What?! What?! What?!" Mabel responded.
"The hottest magician is here!" Candy replied.
"Yeah! Neo Morpheus!" Grenda exclaimed.
"Girls, didn't I say I won't be chasing any boys this summer?" Mabel asked her friends.
"I know, but this is a boy I'm completely interested in." Candy said.
"Come on Candy, spill the beans." Mabel said before knocking a can of beans on the floor. "Beans."
"Okay, his name is Neo Morpheus and he's a famous young magician who has performed many spells that many consider to be unnatural." Candy responded. "But more importantly, he's cute."
"But I'm not interested in him, since I'm dating someone richer and hotter!" Grenda yelled.
"I agree with Grenda. But me, I don't care if this this magician is hot, there is no way I'll-" As soon as Candy unwrapped the poster she revealed the image a boy dressed in all black clothing and a pretty face with a scar going across his eye. "….Definitely fall for!"
While Mabel started her boy obsession once again, Pacifica walked away busy thinking about Dipper and the fact he isn't even gonna try and relax. I get he needs to save Gravity Falls, but this is causing him too much stress and Pacifica is worried how far a stressed Dipper will go. Will he become an insomniac? Will the stress get to him and he'll go insane? So many worrying thoughts going on in her head.
But Pacifica's sadness didn't go ignored, she got approached by an unsuspecting help. "Dipper?" Asked Grenda.
"Yeah, how did you figure?" Pacifica asked.
"You aren't the only one Mabel talks to." Grenda replied.
Pacifica sighed. "I don't know what I'm gonna do, Grenda. Mabel's has gone back into her boy crazy phase, Wendy's out with her family, Soos has gone to sort out his wedding, Ford's dealing with Michael C Hall's lawyers and I don't know what Stan is doing."
Meanwhile on Mewni, Eda Clawthorne, who was in her harpy mode was carrying Stan on her back as they were being chased by Heckapoo on her dragon-cycle.
"So, this literal hot head was angry with you for going into every dimension that had anything shiny?" Eda asked.
"And she took my portal scissors." Stan responded while holding up a pair.
"Let me know if I've used this correctly." Eda requested before stopping and turning around to spray Heckapoo with a fire extinguisher, causing her to fall to the ground below along with her dragon cycle.
"Ha!" Stan laughed. "Should've used that when I had the chance."
Back in Gravity Falls.
"Jeez, that sucks." Grenda commented.
"I don't know what I'm gonna do." Pacifica sighed sadly as she sat on the counter.
It was at this moment Grenda came up with an idea that a lightbulb lit up over her head. She looked up and realised that the lightbulb had turned on without anyone touching the switch behind her. She just shrugged her shoulders and jumped on the counter to sit next to Pacifica.
"Grenda has an idea." Grenda announced.
"If it involves stampeding buffalos then that won't work." Pacifica responded.
"No!" Grenda responded. "We force Dipper on a double date."
"With who?" Pacifica asked Grenda who responded by pointing at herself. "Oh yeah, you have a super rich boyfriend."
"Yup!" Grenda exclaimed.
"But how are we gonna encourage Dipper?" Pacifica asked.
"Well, I have an uncle who works for 'top' men." Grenda said before pulling out a baseball bat. "And they know how to be persuasive."
"Grenda, we are not gonna beat Dipper with a baseball bat." Pacifica protested.
"So, what are we gonna do?" Grenda asked.
"We're just gonna have to try and persuade him." Pacifica replied. "How persuasive is your boyfriend?"
"I am a prince, so very." Replied Marius who entered the shack with former Agent Clyde Chiu behind.
"Pay no attention to the ex government agent entering the gift shop." Clyde responded.
Meanwhile with Mabel and Candy they were watching a video on Candy's Bipad of this Neo Morpheus performing one of his many magic tricks, which had him floating off a small department store with everyone cheering as he did.
"Man, he is so cute." Mabel said.
"I know." Candy responded.
"He's rocking the way he's floating down." Mabel commented.
"Do you wanna see his most famous trick?" Candy asked.
"What's his most famous trick?" Mabel asked.
"The-frozen-in-a-block-of-ice-with-nothing-but-a-toothpick-trick." Clyde replied. "Although, it's more of a survival trick than a magical trick."
"Uncle Clyde!" Candy happily exclaimed before tacking her uncle in a hug.
"Oh, hey there." Clyde said.
"What are you doing here?" Candy asked.
"Can't your favourite Uncle visit his favourite niece?" Clyde responded.
"You're my only uncle and I'm your only niece." Candy retorted before realising Mabel was still in the same room as her and her uncle. "Oh Mabel, this is my Uncle Clyde. Uncle Clyde, this is my other greatest friend, Mabel."
It was at this moment Clyde froze with surprise since he wasn't exactly expecting one of the person's of interest was friends with his niece. But it was strange he didn't know that his own niece was friends with Mabel even though as an ex government agent he should've known.
But the ex FBI agent soon smiled and said, "Well, nice meeting you Mabel."
"So, how's the FBI job?" Candy asked.
"I quit." Clyde replied. "To pursue my dream of becoming a magician. After a siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiixteen fingered man; Eight on each finger, told me to give up being an FBI agent and so I decided to be a magician. And the best way to become a famous magician is to work with one. So, I am hoping to meet up with Neo Morpheus to become his apprentice. Boy, I'm gonna be the oldest student in existence."
"But Uncle Clyde, you can't be Neo Morpheus' apprentice because you'll be needing backstage passes for his show." Candy said.
"Candy, he has backstage passes." Mabel said rather cynically. "He's gonna flip his hands and they're gonna come out of thin air."
"No, because I'd have to try and reach them from behind you." Clyde's response made Mabel and Candy turn around and notice three VIP tickets on a desk.
"Uncle Clyde, you have tickets to Neo Morpheus?!" Candy exclaimed.
"But VIP?!" Mabel exclaimed. "I thought they were impossible!"
"Well, due to my former status as an FBI agent I was able to pull a lot of strings." Clyde replied. "Now, get ready for 3 PM because it's gonna be magical!" Clyde then threw something to the floor and acted like something was meant to happen. He looked on the floor and realised that the smoke bomb he threw was expired. "Well, that explains why they were free. Just pretend I disappeared." Clyde then ran off as fast as he could like a mythical creature trying to avoid crazy conspiracy theorists.
"That's my awesome uncle." Candy said.
"Yeah, he got us tickets for the next boy on my Summer Romances list." Mabel said.
"Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah!" Candy interjected. "Who said he was next on your summer romances list?"
"I did, because there's no Candy summer romance list." Mabel said.
"Oh there was, you just didn't know." Candy said while narrowing her eyes at her friend. "And soon Neo Morpheus will be Candy's boyfriend."
"Yeah, but you can't do magic." Mabel retorted.
"Candy has had training." Candy replied before flipping her hand to pull a card out of thin air. She then reached behind Mabel's ear and pulled out a match, lit it by shaking it. She then used the recently lit match to light the card on fire and then flicked it, turning the burning card into a dove that flew around the living room and out the window. "Top that, Mabel."
Candy then threw a working smoke bomb on the floor, causing it to look like she had vanished and leaving Mabel to be very jealous of her friend's magic skills.
"I can't top that." Mabel said sadly. "How was she able to fit that dove in her shirt?"
Meanwhile, Dipper was in his bedroom studying about the Mewman's history of monsters by Mina Loveberry and looking rather uncomfortable. "I was looking for info about Toffee, not a rant to how evil monsters were." Dipper said to himself before Marius, Grenda and Pacifica entered.
"Hey Dipper." Pacifica said.
"Oh hey Pacifica." Dipper responded without turning around to look at his girlfriend. "What's up?"
"Well, I was thinking since we haven't done anything since we got back, we could go on a double date." Pacifica suggested. "I mean, we haven't done that yet and who better to go on a double date with than Grenda and Marius? Marius has booked a restaurant for the both of us because of his political power."
"How about another time?" Dipper response made Pacifica pull a disappointed look while Marius was a little smug. "I'm busy."
"Dipper, in my country it is considered a royal offence to turn down anything organised by a member of royalty." Marius said.
Dipper then looked at Marius feeling kind of intimidated but was doing his best not to be. "Yeah but I'm not in Austria, so I will continue being busy."
"Dipper, do it or this will start a war!" Grenda demanded.
"Grenda, I doubt that will happen." Pacifica sighed.
"Actually, something like that will lead a war between Austria and America." Marius informed them. "I know that sounds petty but it is true in the Fundshauser family."
"Sounds petty?!" Dipper exclaimed. "That is petty! But, you didn't have to threaten war because I was thinking of giving studying Toffee a break, actually take a break from mystery monster hunting for a bit. I mean, Ford and Stan aren't here so, I think we should be doing something."
"Where did this change of heart come from?" Pacifica asked with a surprised look on her face.
"Well, as I was busy with the mystery, I couldn't help but remember I was ignoring someone more incredible then a mystery." Dipper's words made Pacifica's cheeks go red but she then shook her head and approached her boyfriend and started tugging at his cheek. "What are you doing?"
"Checking if you're the real Dipper." Pacifica responded.
"What?" Dipper responded. "Can't a mystery loving dork like me hang out with an awesome girlfriend like you?"
Pacifica smiled and pecked her boyfriend on the lips over how sweet the gesture was, despite the fact she knew it was probably a bad quip, but she loved it nonetheless.
"Yes!" Grenda exclaimed. "Double date! Try and stop us fate!"
Just then, a portal opened and in a blink of an eye, Stan riding Harpy Eda like a dragon, flew past everyone with everyone dropping on the floor so they wouldn't get hurt. Luckily, Eda in her harpy mode crashed through the bathroom door where Soos was having a shower with the curtain closed. He pulled the curtain to see what the commotion was about and saw Stan with soap in his mouth while Eda had a toilet seat on her head.
"Well, compared to my other landings, this was not one of the smoother ones." Eda commented.
"Should we be worried about that portal we left open?" Stan asked.
"Nah." Eda responded.
"Stan, Eda, what are you doing?" Dipper asked.
"Well, we kind of stole something from some hotheads with big hair." Stan replied. "And one of them might've been friends with Star."
"Yeah, I can't even spill a drink without starting a riot." Eda commented.
"Mmm hmm, best planet ever." Stan said as he walked out of the bathroom and placed a gold-ish sphere beside a picture of Stan posing with Ford.
"What did you two even steal?" Pacifica asked.
"Oh yeah, we stole some kind of magical object." Eda replied. "Something about…Giving you powers."
"We didn't read the rest of the information because the ball was so shiny." Stan explained.
"So, don't touch it until Stan's brother does something geeky with it." Eda requested.
"We won't, I have a double date tonight." Dipper informed them. "I have an awesome girlfriend I wish to spend-"
"Don't brag about how awesome your girlfriend is." Eda requested as she and Stan started to walk down the stairs. "Besides, I feel like a glass of apple blood."
"But should we still be worried about that portal we left open?" Stan asked.
"I doubt anyone's just gonna come across the portal and walk into it." Eda said.
On the other side of the dimension, a teen with an ivory hooded cloak with a golden triangle clasp a golden pauldron on his left shoulder and a pointed two-faceted mask with a thin slot across it, was staring at the blue portal that Stan and Eda had stupidly left open.
"I just came across portal and I think I should walk right into it." The boy said before walking into the blue swirly portal to see what was on the other side, which just so happened to be a swimming pool with many people in attendance, including the Corduroys in their swimming gear.
No one at the pool didn't seem particularly bothered by the presence of a mysterious armoured teen in very shiny armour so this was strange for him.
"Uh…..Hello?" The teen queried in confusion. "No one gonna say anything about a random teenager dressed in pretty cool armour who just walked out from a portal?"
"Well, you're in Gravity Falls dude." Wendy replied as she lifted her sunglasses up to get a good look at him. "Someone ought to have expected some teen to walk out of a portal."
"Oh." The teen responded. "Well, this is a human realm so…." The teen then pointed his staff threateningly at everyone in attendance. "Bow before me you foolish mortals! For I am-" Just then, the teen tripped into the pool since he was kind of standing by the edge. He soon resurfaced with his mask having fallen off revealing a teen with pointed ears, a slightly hooked nose, dark magenta eyes, thick black eyebrows, a gap between his front teeth, bags under his eyes, and ash-blond hair that is shaved below the top, with a long, jagged forelock. His left ear had a notch and scars all over his face. "-The Golden Guard."
"Okay, sure." Wendy said before going back to sunbathing.
"You're not at all threatened." Hunter pointed out.
"Eh, I get used to teenagers who think they're tough all the time." Wendy retorted. "Right Robbie?!"
Robbie, who was somehow on lifeguard duty, woke up from a nap and blew on his whistle. "Is someone peeing in the pool again?! I said no peeing dudes!"
Hunter soon jumped out from the pool and started brushing himself off. "You better have a way of cleaning yourself off in this realm!"
"Wait, do you not have showers in your realm?" Wendy asked.
"Honestly, I'm surprised you have showers in your realm." Hunter said.
Later, Hunter was busy showering himself off to rid himself off the urine stench that was all over his head and body. This was his first day in a human realm and he wasn't at all liking it. Apart from being surrounded by humans, he was briefly swimming in a pool filled with human waste.
"Well, compared to what I've heard about the human realm, this isn't too bad." Hunter said to himself. "But how did I know how to swim?"
"Yes, but it'll get worse from there." Said a lizard who was showering himself off.
"What do you mean?" Hunter asked.
"Well, I've been here for months blending in." Toffee said. "They're disgusting creatures sometimes filled with hate and stupidity. Basically, every reason every human hating creature has to hating humans."
"What have they done to you?" Hunter asked.
"It wasn't just a human that left me frozen in a block of ice." Toffee said. "But they somehow didn't count on the sun thawing me out."
"Who did this to you?" Hunter asked.
"You're not very good conversations." Toffee said. "I hardly know you and yet, you're talking to me like we're lifelong friends."
"Well, you're not the only one who has a problem with humans." Hunter said. "There's a stupid human stuck in my realm and she is annoying. She wants to get back home and me and my uncle are trying to build a portal to a human realm for the day of Unity. I don't know what my uncle has planned, but it's gonna be grand."
"Sounds grand." Toffee said. "But the human I dealt with, he has foiled the plans of many including a demon that once tried to take over this realm. But it's not just that human I have to worry about, another human whose possibly a pharmacist but claims to be an evil scientist, a six fingered human, the Princess of Mewni, a little tadpole, a demon prince ruling the Mewman underworld and a pale girl with pink hair."
The mention of a pale girl with pink hair made Hunter freeze and stare at the giant naked lizard with an interested eyebrow raised. "Pink hair? Pale girl? Did she happen to have pointy ears? And did she control purple goo called Abominations?"
"You're good." Toffee said. "I bet you wish for revenge on those who wronged you. I'm already wanting revenge on one human that wronged me, maybe you could assist me."
"Why would I assist you?" Hunter asked before realising the water that was pouring all over him had stopped in midair, causing the teen to be confused. It was at this point he realised that Toffee was controlling the water with his magical force powers.
"Because I've learnt powers that are beyond your comprehension." Toffee replied. "And I can use this power to overthrow anybody. So, if you want me to help you have revenge on the pink haired girl, then you help me get the human that has been ruining me. I think you and I would make a great team."
Hunter smiled sinisterly with Toffee doing the same while the water sprayed all over the lizard man.
"Oh, and you're gonna need a lot of shampoo and conditioner for your hair." Toffee said. "Smells like you've slept in an animal."
Back at the Mystery Shack, Mabel was moping around in her bedroom while Dipper was finally getting ready for his double date with Pacifica. And to the surprise of Mabel, Dipper had successfully managed to tie a bow tie.
"You finally tied a bow tie?" Mabel asked.
"Well, Pacifica has tied so many for me that I kind of mastered the skill." Dipper replied.
"Yeah, least you have a skill to master." Mabel said with a hint of disappointment in her voice. Since she has no magic skills, the female Pines twin was kind of worried that she'll never have a chance with Neo Morpheus.
"What's wrong?" Dipper asked.
"Dipper, don't restrain me but, I'm going boy crazy." Mabel replied.
"Oh and just as I'm going on a date with Pacifica, you decide to go crazy for some random boy!" Dipper exclaimed.
"Yeah but this boy is a magician." Mabel protested.
"Doesn't exactly excuse it." Dipper said. "You promised you wouldn't go boy crazy. Heck, you even made us go through some kind of ritual just to make that promise possible."
"Yeah but I decided to break it." Mabel said. "But it appears I won't be able to get him out on a date."
Dipper sighed in annoyance. "Okay, I'm not even going to bother with your summer romance so I'm gonna be more concerned with mine. Bye!" Dipper then ran out of the bedroom so he could go on the double date of the summer.
"Dipper!" Mabel yelled out as she followed her brother who quickly ran out of the shack. "Uh! Come on Dipper!" She then noticed something on the mantle piece that had the picture of Stan and Ford posing, she saw the magical item that Stan and Eda retrieved and stared at it with curiosity.
"Woah!" Mabel exclaimed. "That looks cool! Wait, it's shiny and otherworldly so that means Grunkle Stan and Eda must've stole this so I shouldn't touch it without their permission. Hey Grunkle Stan, Eda, can I touch the treasure you two brought?!"
"Yes!" Eda exclaimed.
"Yes means yes." Mabel said before touching the golden treasure which lead to the treasure to glow and for Mabel to do the same, starting with her hands. It started with her hand but it eventually reached her entire body, turning her into a giant beam of light that shone brighter than the sun.
Downstairs, Eda and Stan were brewing some apple blood in the kitchen, not bothering about the mysterious glow coming from upstairs.
"You finally got it, Stan." Eda said as she was pouring herself a glass of apple blood to taste.
"Hey, apple blood is probably the best thing I've ever tasted." Stan said. "By the way, did you hear my niece yell for us?"
"No." Eda replied. "Even if she did, I hope my ginormous yes from earlier didn't mislead her."
Outside the Shack, Dipper had recently buckled up in the backseat of Prince Marius' limo, sitting next to his girlfriend who wore her favourite emerald green dress. Marius was still in his Prince uniform while Grenda wore a dress that was most definitely hand crafted by her judging by the obvious stitching marks and being made from mostly fabric and couch cushions.
It didn't mean they couldn't see the glowing light coming from the Shack that caught everyone's attention.
"Should we be concerned about that light?" Marius asked.
Dipper took a deep breath from his nose. "Nope. Better start driving before I get invested."
The limo driver who looked like a famous British actor nodded his head and started to drive the car to the restaurant.
Back in the Shack, Mabel woke up after being blinded by the mysterious strange light that confused the living daylights out of her. She felt dizzy and like her brain had been put on a merry go round powered by a rocket booster. She held her head with her hand as she tried to pull herself together. "Oh man, what was that?" Mabel asked herself as she walked to her room.
"Oh, I hope I'm not cursed." Mabel said. "Because, that would be quite awful if I was." Mabel then started digging through her sock drawer to find a pair to put on for the afternoon that Candy and her uncle were planning. Waddles then entered the room, eating a bit of corn, something that Mabel took notice of.
"Waddles, do you think I should put on my lucky socks?" Waddles only oinked and continued to chew on the corn like he was a dog chewing on a chew toy. "Lucky socks it is. I have a guy I wanna be with even though I don't have magic."
Mabel pulled out one pair of her lucky blue unicorn socks and sighed in annoyance. "Hey, where's the other-" Just then Mabel started coughing like crazy, like she was choking on something. But this wasn't an ordinary cough, this cough felt like something was trying to escape Mabel's throat. "Oh man, I think I'm gonna-" But before Mabel could get to the bathroom, Mabel then realised there was a strange cotton feeling in her mouth and then she coughed up a bit of sock sticking out of her mouth, something that confused the girl. The confused Mabel pulled the sock out of her mouth and started to look at it with confusion.
"What the heck?" Mabel queried. "Eww! This socks is covered in drool. Wait a sec, did I eat this sock? Waddles, you promised you'd stop me if I ate my clothes again! Uh, I'm gonna need a napkin." Mabel then flicked her wrist and suddenly, a napkin appeared from thin air and in her hand.
This made Mabel so confused that she threw the two items she was holding on the floor since she was quite terrified by this. "What the heck?!" Mabel looked at her hands in complete fear, wondering what had just happened. "Do I….." Mabel then quickly realised what this meant. And by quick, I mean Dipper quick where it's jumping to conclusions.
Mabel then approached Waddles and gave a smile at her pet pig. "Hey Waddles, what's behind your ear?" Mabel then reached behind Waddles' ear and pulled out a box of matches. "It's a box of matches!"
Mabel then pulled a match out of the box, lit it and lit the napkin on fire before flicking it and it turned into a stuffed pig. Something that made Mabel smile and realise something. "I am magic! I am gonna use this responsibly."
Meanwhile, the limo parked up outside a familiar restaurant known only as The Club. It was called such a thing due to the fact it was obviously shaped like a club.
Dipper, Mabel, Marius and Grenda exited the limo and got a good look at the restaurant. It was a restaurant quite familiar to Dipper since it was the same restaurant he went to, to scold Gideon for not leaving his sister alone.
"Woah!" Grenda exclaimed. "Do rich people eat here all the time?"
"Many of the royals and television personalities come here all the time." Marius explained. "It's usually so we won't get paparazzi following us."
"I can confirm that." Pacifica said as she wrapped her arms around Dipper's, causing the teenage boy to blush.
"Let's go in!" Grenda exclaimed. "I hope they have a buffet! I'm starving!"
They entered the restaurant where they saw a number of guests dining in the restaurant. There was news reporter Shandra Jimenez and even Michael C Hall.
"Oh crud." Dipper said. "This was probably a bad time."
"Why?" Pacifica asked.
It was at this moment, Michael looked up from his menu and noticed Dipper and Pacifica and the actor started to panic.
"Michael C Hall has a restraining order against me and Pacifica since the kidnapping thing." Dipper explained.
"How far?" Marius asked.
"15 yards." Dipper replied.
"Ah, don't worry." Marius assured him. "I got it. Hey waiter! Might I request we be placed by a table 15 yards away from Michael C Hall?"
"I have the table for you." The waiter said as he motioned the two couples to follow him. "Follow me." The waiter lead the two couples to a table that was far from Michael C Hall, yet near Shandra Jimenez.
"A waiter will be with you shortly to take your order." The waiter informed them before walking away.
"Isn't this cool?!" Grenda asked. "First double date!"
"I know." Dipper said.
"You're not thinking about any mystery right now, right?" Pacifica asked.
"Nah." Dipper said. "I mean, I'm not even gonna let anything distract me."
"Not even how your sister is suddenly a magician?" Grenda asked Dipper as she showed him her phone, which had footage of Mabel performing street magic dressed in a black hoodie.
A spectator handed Mabel a bottle of water and a coin which she took and quickly smashed the coin and water to together revealing that the coin was now in the water and there was no cut on the bottle that the coin could slide in to. The magic that Mabel made caused everyone to cheer.
"How did your sister get good at magic?" Pacifica asked.
"I don't know and I'm not getting involved." Dipper replied as he poured himself a bottle of water like a rich person. "I'm just gonna have a double date. Besides, what problems can Mabel performing street magic cause?"
Meanwhile, Toffee and Hunter were hiding out in the bush watching the Mystery Shack. They then noticed Soos and Melody getting out of their car and approaching the Shack.
"Is this where your enemy hides out?" Hunter asked.
"I can confirm." Toffee replied.
"What a dump." Hunter said.
"It's very popular with tourists." Toffee explained.
"Who'd even want to waste money on that?" Hunter asked.
"You'd be surprised."
"So what's the plan?" Hunter asked as he lifted his palisman. "We go in and take those losers out?"
"And I see why your uncle doesn't wish for you to leave your quarters until day of Unity." Toffee said. "You're very…..Enthusiastic. But we need to be patient and wait for the right moment to strike." Toffee then pulled out a ring from his pocket and looked like he was gonna put it on until he heard Melody scream, causing him to drop the ring.
"Your plan was to drop your ring?" Hunter asked sarcastically.
The lizard and the teenage nephew of Emperor Belos looked and saw that Melody was screaming at a dead bird. "Oh man, that frightened me." Melody said as Soos approached her.
"Oh dear dude." Soos sighed. "I'll go get the shovel."
"Stop right there!" Exclaimed the voice of Mabel as she ran pass Soos and Melody and approached the dead bird.
"Mabel, what are you doing?" Melody asked the enthusiastic Pines twin.
"Watch this." Mabel replied as she picked up the bird and started adjusting its neck.
"Dude, shouldn't you like wear gloves?" Soos asked.
"Trust me." Mabel replied before releasing her hands to reveal the bird was tweeting. This was something that terrified Melody and Soos since Mabel couldn't do that; Nobody could do that.
But it wasn't just Soos and Melody who were amazed, Hunter and Toffee were as well amazed.
"I don't believe it." Toffee said.
"Could she do that?" Hunter asked.
"No." Toffee replied intensely. "Hmm, this is gonna be difficult."
"I'm assuming we have to take her out?" Hunter asked.
"Yes."
"Then I'm taking her now." Hunter pulled out his Palisman, ready to use it to attack Mabel, but Toffee stopped him.
"Patience." Toffee requested.
"Why?" Asked the impatient Hunter. "We need to take her before she becomes way too powerful."
"Hunter, on my world we have an old tactic of knowing the enemy before attacking." Toffee responded. "So, this is what we're going to do. We're going to study our enemy before we attack her."
"Has that ever worked?" Hunter asked.
"Yes, except for one time." Toffee showed Hunter his missing finger. "Let's watch and see how powerful she truly is."
And so, that's what Toffee and Hunter decided to do, they decided to watch Mabel play with her new powers.
She began testing her new powers at the public pool where she amazed all the people by walking on water like it was a tightrope. I mean, she even almost fell in the water at one point, all while Toffee and Hunter watched on with fascination as people cheered.
Later that day, Mabel was wowing people by flicking her wrists, causing cards to pop out from her sleeve and lighting the cards on fire and turning them into doves that flew away. She then flicked her wrists, causing doves to appear on her index fingers. The enthusiastic Pines twin flicked her hands and the doves turned into crows.
Then, Mabel was walking across the street minding her own business until she realised her shoelace was untied and she started to tie them. But what she didn't know was that a bus was coming towards her.
The bus driver with the name of Beaumont written on his name tag steered the bus in an effort to not hit the teenager, but the bus hit her and she turned into a sweater, shorts, shoes, socks and underwear. The supposed death of Mabel caused every random bystander to gasp and everyone to crowed around the clothes. Wait, where's the body?
But from out the crowd, someone with a black hoody and stood on the clothes before pulling down the hood to reveal Mabel alive and well.
News of Mabel's magical antics didn't take long for it to spread, because soon she was being interviewed by Toby Determined for his podcast 'The Toby Determined Podcast Show.' Mabel performed a magic trick that invoked her swallowing a pin which wasn't impressive, but when Toby bit in his sandwich, he realised his lip was bleeding meaning that it somehow ended up in the poor journalists' sandwich.
While that went on, Toffee and Hunter were listening in on a handheld radio. While Toffee had gotten used to the technology, Hunter was confused by such a device.
"Is she in there?" Hunter asked. "How did she fit in a box? How does anyone fit in a box like this?"
"It's complicated." Toffee replied. "Anyway, we know she's suddenly magic for some reason. And she isn't saying anything about it. We might need to get a little closer. You wouldn't happen to have anything for that?"
Toffee usually had ideas, but with Mabel's powers he wasn't so sure how he could defeat something like that. I mean, he could sense how powerful that girl was.
Just then a Northman Cardinal bird with a scar where their left eye would be, red feathers with dark red wingtips, a dark red beak, dark brown feet and a black face tweeted, causing Hunter to groan.
"Not now Lil' Rascal." Hunter complained to his Palisman.
The bird tweeted at Toffee while he stared at it like he understood it. "Oh, you like that nickname? A bit insulting."
"Wait, you can understand my Palisman?" Hunter asked in surprise.
"Why yes." Toffee replied. "I learnt to speak the language of all the different types of Palismans when I briefly came to the Boiling Isles during my little exile. I learnt the languages and…..Hmm, I sense you don't want the Palisman around, yet you've grown quite fond of it."
"You can say that." Hunter confirmed.
"Hmm, we could use your Palisman to our advantage." Toffee remarked while thinking of a plan. "Okay Lil' Rascal, I want you to watch Mabel Pines and find out any interesting information regarding her powers and report back to us, but more specifically, me. Fly my little pretty, fly." The bird flew out the window while Toffee and Hunter laid back to relax.
"So, now what?" Hunter asked.
"This is your first time in the human realm?" Toffee asked.
"Mmm hmm."
"Have you ever ate a donut?"
Meanwhile at the Mystery Shack, Stan and Eda had awoken from the kitchen floor after spending 6 hours drinking nothing but apple blood. The two had very bad headaches since they drunk more than they should.
"Oh man, this is like my high school reunion." Stan said. "If you have high schools in your realm, don't drink a lot of apple blood."
"Already did during my Hexside reunion." Eda retorted.
"Uh, Dipper!" Stan yelled.
"He went on the date with the girlfriend." Eda informed them.
"Ford!"
Ford then flew past riding a jetpack. "Busy!"
"Um….Mabel!"
Eda was about to respond to the question, but she froze and realised she knew nothing about Mabel. "Wait, Mabel's the one whose like Luz only dumb and not a nerd?"
"Not the perfect way to describe my grand niece, but that's true." Stan confirmed.
Just then Soos and Melody walked in with envelopes in their hands and handed one to Stan.
"Hey Mr Pines, this is my envelope to mine and Melody's wedding and it would be so cool if you showed up." Soos said.
"Don't think about inviting me, cause I don't wish to do weddings." Eda said. "Unless it's Luz and Amity cause she's my daughter in a way."
"Hey Soos, Melody, you two wouldn't happen to have seen Mabel, right?" Stan asked.
"Oh, she went to see that Neo Morpheus kid perform." Soos replied. "She wants to show off her neat magician tricks."
"Ha!" Stan laughed. "As if Mabel can do magic!"
"No, she really can." Melody confirmed. "She revived a dead bird."
"Wait, reviving a dead bird?" Eda asked with realisation. "Uh oh."
The two then ran upstairs and realised the golden sphere they placed on the counter a few hours before, was now colourless.
"Wait, wasn't this gold when we stole this?" Stan asked.
"It was." Eda responded. "Do you think this is how your crazy dumb niece got her magic powers?"
"I'm sure there's a logical explanation." Stan responded.
"No, there isn't." Eda replied.
"Well, will there be any negative consequences?" Stan asked.
"Do I look like I know?" Eda asked. "I know it grants powers but I don't know the consequences!"
"I know." Eda and Stan screamed as they turned around and noticed Stan's would-be adopted daughter, Janna, holding a book.
"When did you get here?" Stan asked.
"Question: Who is she and why do I have the feeling I wanna adopt her?" Eda asked.
"Hey, she's mine, back off!" Stan demanded.
"Oh, someone left a portal open." Janna replied.
"See, I told you leaving the portal open was a bad idea." Eda said to Stan, who narrowed his eyes at someone who would've been his soulmate if she wasn't already interested in someone else.
"Janna, what is that golden doohickey and what does it do?" Stan asked.
"Well, that magic doohickey grants people powers." Janna replied. "That's why the gold has been drained from it because your grand niece might have touched it."
"Wait Eda, you reacted to the news about Mabel having magic powers like you knew it was the golden sphere." Stan pointed out.
"Well, it's mysterious and your niece is terrible at illusions." Eda said.
"Actually, that's a good point." Stan said. "When she did a card trick to me she had Dipper stand behind me with a mirror. Lucky the sun was shining or otherwise I might've believed Mabel was magic."
"Well, are the side effects bad?" Eda asked Janna.
"They didn't go into much description of the side effects but I did copy the drawing." Janna then showed the drawing which looked like some sort of spiky haired Anime character, making people run away due to immense shockwaves escaping their body.
"Okay, that doesn't look good." Eda said.
"And the way to stop it, is to force the artefact on to the host's skin and let it absorb its power away from her." Janna explained. "So I suggest we get going."
Stan sighed in annoyance. "Where are you, Dipper? He'd usually handle this stuff."
Meanwhile at the fancy restaurant, Dipper, Pacifica, Grenda and Prince Marius were eating their meals which had arrived about five minutes earlier. Dipper was eating a medium rare steak with lettuce on the side, Pacifica was having a Caesar salad, Grenda was having a cheese burger with fries on the side while Prince Marius was having rare deer meat since he was the Austrian prince after all.
Just then, Grenda pulled out her phone and went wide eyed once she saw a notification. "Hey Dipper, your sister is doing magic should we be concerned?"
"Nah." Dipper replied. "Luz or Amity might have helped out."
"Eh, I guess so." Grenda replied.
Meanwhile at the Gravity Falls arena, Mabel had arrived to greet Candy and her uncle Clyde to see Neo Morpheus perform his magic tricks.
"Hey Mabel." Uncle Clyde greeted the enthusiastic Pines twin. "You're just in time."
"I hope I am." Mabel responded. "Cause I have something I hope to share with Neo Morpheus."
"Ha, try your magic on me." Candy said rather confidently.
"Woah, are you two in a magic competition?" Clyde asked.
"We kind of are." Candy replied. "She thinks she can win Neo Morpheus over to her and become his girlfriend."
"So do you." Mabel retorted. "I mean, you've always wanted a summer romance but never had the chance."
"True, but….I can do a bit of magic." Candy responded before pulling a can of orange soda out of thin air.
"Hand me that soda." Mabel responded rather confidently. "Mama's a bit thirsty." Candy handed Mabel her soda and the enthusiastic Pines twin quickly shook the canned soda, causing it to heat up. Something that amazed both Candy and her uncle that they were literally speechless.
"Oh my gosh!" Candy exclaimed.
Just then, Mabel opened the can confidently and took a ginormous slurp from it. "Ah, that's the stuff. So, we're going in?"
Mabel entered the arena while Candy was amazed and Clyde was trying to come up with words.
"Vay be!" Clyde exclaimed.
"Huh?"
"Cursing in another language." Clyde replied.
Meanwhile, Toffee and Hunter were watching from afar with keen interest about Mabel and her magic.
"How does she do that?" Hunter asked. "This can't be illusions."
"There is a great disturbance in the force." Toffee said. "She is more powerful and she is getting stronger. We have to stop her.
"I hope Lil' Rascal is doing okay." Hunter said. "I haven't seen him for a while."
"I sense that he's fine." Toffee responded. "But, he's somewhere dark. And no, he isn't dead."
Inside the arena, Mabel, Clyde and Candy were sitting front seat so they could get a good look at him.
"I can't believe you abused your powers as a government agent to get us these tickets." Candy remarked to her uncle.
"Well, I only abuse my government powers when useful." Clyde responded smugly.
"Irresponsibility!" Mabel exclaimed while lifting her arms up and then a deck of cards shout out from both sleeves off her sweater. "Sorry." Mabel replied embarrassingly.
"Quit showing off!" Candy demanded.
Just then, smoke flew in on the stage and it lit ablaze and low and behold, there he was in all his magic glory: The teenage magician phenomenon, Neo Morpheus, appeared out of nowhere.
"Magic is all around us." Neo began. "It is in the air, on the ground, in your coffee, it is in the places we find to be insignificant! I can feel it! But you can't!"
"Wow, he's already making me feel things." Mabel commented as she squinted her eyes. "Intense things!"
"But it appears that tonight that some of us tonight feel that they have the magic inside them!" Neo continued. "I can feel it!" Neo flicked his wrist and fire shot out his hands, causing everyone to cheer.
But far away from Neo Morpheus, Hunter and Toffee had taken backseats while dressed in disguises. Toffee was dressed in a hoodie and a mask of Neo Morpheus, while Hunter had a fake moustache on.
The Golden Guard stared at Neo Morpheus with a hint of embarrassment at him. Hunter felt there was something quite showboaty about this kind of magic. Like all he cared about was the fame.
"Is this what humans do with their magic?" Hunter asked.
"He probably has flamethrowers on his wrists." Toffee said.
"Why do you have a mask?" Hunter asked. "It doesn't do good on your stout."
"Says the one who's wearing a moustache as a disguise." Toffee retorted.
"Touché." Hunter responded.
Neo Morpheus then took off his jacket to reveal a ginormous ace of spades that suddenly turned into a large number of cards, making the audience cheer out loud.
"Now, before we continue the night, there's something I wish to do." Neo Morpheus. "In all the years I've been a magician, I've been doing it alone and honestly, it's getting boring. So, I decided to use this night as an excuse for me to find myself a partner. So for tonight, I will find myself a partner by letting two lucky audience members audition for the chance to be my partner. As long as your below the ages of 18."
"Oh poop." Clyde said. "I should have read the instructions clearer."
"And I have chosen my two from the lucky bingo ball spinning thing and have chosen these two lucky audience members for my little audition." Neo explained. "So, give it up for Candy Chiu and Mabel Pines."
The audience cheered as Candy got on stage while Mabel was still sitting in the audience for whatever strange reason.
Candy was at first confident about having the chance to beating Mabel, but she then realised that the Mabel that was in the audience wasn't Mabel, it was a dummy.
"Wait, where is Mabel?" Neo asked.
Just then, Mabel popped up behind Neo Morpheus like some kind of expert assassin. "Hello, cutie."
"Woah!" Neo reacted in surprise. "I don't know how you did that, but you're already impressing me." Mabel smiled at the cute magician boy as her eyes briefly flickered gold, something that Neo didn't notice.
The audience cheered as Mabel got in position to audition for the role as Neo's partner. The enthusiastic Pines twin narrowed her eyes at Candy while Candy narrowed her eyes back.
"Okay girls, in order for you to become my partner you have to perform three trials." Neo explained. "And if two out of three of them impress me, then you'll become my partner for my tour in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Now, let us begin our auditions."
In the audience, Toffee was watching with intrigue while Hunter was a bit bored since he wanted to go in straight for the attack.
Candy was doing a bunny in the hat trick, but she was doing it with a beanie instead of a simple top hat. The girl pulled the bunny out of the hat while Mabel pulled Lil' Rascal out of her hat, something that made Hunter worry that he quickly ran to the stage and knocked Neo Morpheus out with his staff.
"Let him go!" Hunter demanded.
Toffee sat in the audience, annoyed by his acquaintance before pulling out his lightsaber just in case.
"Hey!" Candy exclaimed. "Get off the stage, this is my show!"
"You're not important, she is." Hunter said.
"And you are?" Mabel queried.
"You met the lavender haired girl, she must have told you about me." Hunter replied.
"Oh my gosh!" Mabel exclaimed. "You're Brenda's ex boyfriend! How many times does she have to tell you, Zak?!"
"What?" Hunter reacted with confusion. "I'm not Zak! I'm Hunter! The Golden Guard!"
"Huh?" Mabel asked. "I don't know you."
"Hasn't Amity told you about me?" Hunter asked.
"Are you her ex stalker?" Mabel sighed. "Why don't some people get the message? She isn't-"
"No!" Hunter interjected. "Why….Never mind, it doesn't matter! Anyway, give me my Palisman back!"
"You mean the bird?" Mabel asked.
"Yes! Give back Lil' Rascal!" Hunter demanded.
"Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!" Mabel laughed. "There's no need to do that. Do you realise that you're threatening me with a hot poker stick?"
"What?" Hunter then realised that his staff was a hot poker stick and he quickly dropped it.
Everyone cheered by what Mabel did while Candy glared at Mabel with jealousy. "No! No! No! No! No! No! You will not be with Neo Morpheus!"
Toffee then shot force lightning from his fingers, hitting Candy and sending her flying across the stage. Everyone stared at Toffee in fear as he removed his mask to reveal his true form. Everyone was cheering since they all thought this was part of the the performance.
"Quit cheering!" Toffee demanded. "This isn't part of the show."
Clyde clapped while Toffee continued to float towards the stage in an effort to stop Mabel. "Wow, I love a committed performance!"
"Oh, two people trying to upstage me?!" Mabel exclaimed. "One of them being Toffee!"
"Hello Mabel." Toffee greeted the girl.
"Mabel?" Hunter queried. "That's a dumb name."
"Well, I wasn't the one who decided on it so don't mock me!" Mabel retorted.
"Silence!" Toffee demanded. "I shall kill you before you have the chance to-"
"Please zip it!" Mabel's demand made Toffee's mouth suddenly zip shut, literally.
Toffee was calm about it, so he just pulled the zipper off and fired a round of force lightning at Mabel, who blocked it and deflected it at Candy, whom was starting to get up.
"Candy smells like pork." Candy said.
Mabel threw Lil' Rascal at Hunter, who grabbed him and put his bird back on his staff. The Golden Guard tried to kick Mabel, but she bursted into feathers, leading everyone to be confused, even her opponents.
Toffee then pulled his lightsaber out and activated it, just in case she'll turn up again while Hunter had his Palisman just in case.
"She couldn't have gone far." Hunter said.
"I sense she's near." Toffee responded. "I think she might be-"
Just then, a random rabbit hit Toffee in the face and Hunter suddenly fell through a trapdoor that wasn't there before. Luckily, Toffee wasn't beaten down while Hunter's Palisman teleported him before he could hit the floor below.
Toffee and Hunter looked to the audience and saw that Neo Morpheus had taken Mabel's place on her seat, leading Clyde to be confused and amazed. "Oh wow Mabel, you are amazing."
Toffee and Hunter turned around and looked to whatever was there in sheer terror. Mabel, now in Neo Morpheus' clothing, was glowing orange and her hair was now more spikier than an Anime character.
"Uh….Do humans do that?" Hunter asked.
Toffee, now terrified like he knew what this was implying, backed away slowly as he used his lightsaber to shield himself.
"BACK AWAY!" Mabel used some kind of force power, causing Toffee and Hunter to fly backwards and for the stadium to blow up around everyone, but somehow leaving them unscratched.
About 15 feet away from the arena car park, Stan, Eda and Janna had arrived to see the arena blow up into a million pieces.
Eda quickly turned into her Harpy form and grabbed Stan and Janna to protect them from the debris that was coming their way by using her back as a self defence tactic. Once the debris hit the Owl Lady, it just deflected off of her like it was nothing.
"Okay, I swear that was just instincts." Eda said. "I had no idea I had the power to do that."
Eda let go of the father/daughter like duo and turned around to see empty crater that used to be the Gravity Falls arena. "Huh, humans can't do that." Eda commented.
"Oh no!" Stan exclaimed with worry. "Mabel's killed everyone!" Stan then dropped to his knees. "Sweetie! Let me drain your powers so I can send you to Mexico!"
"Or Canada." Janna suggested. "Why not Canada?"
Suddenly, a crowd of people, including Neo Morpheus, Candy and Clyde were running away from the destroyed arena and out of the car park.
"Run, Mabel has gone crazy!" Candy exclaimed as she ran passed the trio.
"I am never going touring again!" Neo yelled as he ran past. "I'm quitting magic for good."
"This is why I quit being a government agent!" Clyde yelled as he ran past.
"Just in case an arena blows up?" Janna queried.
"Oh good, I don't have to send my grand niece to Mexico and fake her death." Stan said with a smile before looking up. "Hold on, is that a dragon head?"
The head hit Stan in his face and he caught in his hand before it could fall on the floor. The head in question turned out to be Toffee's, who narrowed his eyes at Stan.
"Well, I need to get close to you so….."
"So, I can use your head like a football." Stan interjected while smiling. The crooked Grunkle then threw Toffee's head in the air and kicked him out the car park and landing somewhere far away. "Wow! That was a kick!"
Suddenly, Hunter crash landed in front of the trio, covered in soot and his cape on fire. He coughed some smoke out of his mouth as he looked at the people looking down on him.
Eda narrowed her eyes at Hunter due to their very small and conflicted history together. "Oh great, why did you have to be here?"
Hunter narrowed his eyes at the Owl Lady. "Nice to see you too." The Golden Guard was about to grab his Palisman, but Janna quickly picked up and started to look at it.
"Cool, a bird." Janna said.
"Alright, we can put aside our differences for once, we need to get out of here." Hunter said, rather scared.
"Please, my niece isn't scary." Stan said. "I mean, I'm pretty sure she was scary when she had those braces in. But now, she isn't so…."
"So, we should start running away from that silhouetted figure coming for us?" Eda pointed to the silhouette with spiky hair coming towards the ground all while the fire continued to burn what remained of the arena.
And that silhouette was nothing more than Mabel Pines, who still had spiky hair but the hoody that she was briefly wearing had burnt off, revealing a white dirty tank top. The female Pines twin grinned ferociously as she tore a red cape off of a mannequin and wrapped it round her neck.
"Mabel?" Stan queried.
But Mabel was unresponsive, she had become something that even the so-called Golden Guard was terrified of.
Hunter then threw a rock at Mabel as a self defence tactic, but she stopped it midair and blew it up into a million pebbles that scattered all over the car park, one of them hitting Janna in the head, but not causing her any pain.
"Huh." Janna rubbed her head to wipe off any blood pouring from her head. "Okay, that didn't hurt."
"Hey Mabel sweetie!" Stan yelled out to his niece. "You're looking great! I love your little Anime look you got going!"
"Yes!" Eda agreed. "Reminds of one of those Animes I saw in theatres back in 1988. I think it was called Markira!"
"Are you two interacting with that thing?" The terrified Golden Guard asked.
"That's my niece you're talking about, punk." Stan reminded Hunter while showing his fist at the dumb teenager. He then turned his eyes back to Mabel, whom was getting closer and closer with every tiny step she was taking. "Great that you're coming towards us gently sweetie! Because that's what we want you to do! We need you to be calm in order for us to take the power that is corrupting you away from ya!"
"Don't say that." Janna said.
"Why not?" Stan asked before he turned into a chicken with no explanation. "Okay, that's why."
"Kid, I don't wish to hurt you so back down so we can talk." Eda requested all while getting ready to tackle to powerful Pines twin.
But Mabel had other plans, she smirked and turned Eda from her Harpy form to a form where she was all grey, round, fluffy and had pointy ears like a bunny. The Owl Lady went wide eyed with shock as she sighed with embarrassment.
"Well, this is embarrassing." Eda said while ignoring the laughter coming from Stan. "Yeah yeah, you still might be my dinner at some point."
Mabel then took a deep breath and released a scream so powerful, that it shot Eda, Stan, Hunter and Janna backwards into a tree.
But not only did it do that, it also caused Eda to turn into a horse, Stan to turn into a goblin, Hunter to have black hair and a burn scar on his right eye and Janna to turn into a giant beanie.
Janna smiled at her predicament instead of acting annoyed. "I always wanted to come back as a beanie, so I'm fine with it."
"Hey Stan, get on." Stan listened to Eda's request and jumped on her back so they could try and get closer to Mabel.
Just then, Mabel blasted them once again with a magical shockwave that turned Stan into a cowboy with a poncho, Eda into a mule, Hunter into a goth and Janna into a guy with dreadlocks.
"If I'm gonna keep turning into a furry beast that walks on four legs then I'm gonna throw her into the boiling ocean no matter how powerless she is." Eda said.
"If only Dipper was here." Stan said.
"He's the lucky one." Eda commented. "I have a feeling he's enjoying himself."
At the restaurant, Dipper was on stage singing Disco Girl by Baba as a bit of karaoke.
"Disco girl! Coming through! That girls is you!"
While Dipper was singing very terribly, Grenda was covering her ears, Pacifica was doing her best to give her boyfriend an encouraging smile while Marius was filming the whole thing on his phone.
"This is going PhewTube." Marius remarked.
"No! We have enough terrible singers on the Tube!" Grenda exclaimed.
Back with Stan, Eda, Hunter and Janna, the four were now turned into Irish dancers performing the Macarena.
"Now! Face my wrath!" Mabel exclaimed.
"Mabel, could you at least make me do a dance that won't hurt my back." Stan requested before making a 90 degree jump that caused his back to break. "Ow!"
Mabel then released another magic shockwave that turned Stan into a head, Eda's skin to turn green, Hunter into an old man and Janna into a middle aged loser with a beard.
"That dance really tied the area together, man." Janna commented.
"It's no use!" Stan exclaimed as he watched the colourless orb roll away. "She's too powerful."
Eda quickly picked up the orb before Mabel released another blast that turned Stan into a car, Janna into a green leaf, Hunter into a puddle of water and Eda into a chameleon.
"Ha ha ha ha aha ha!" Mabel laughed. "You, can not stop me!"
"Sweetie, I'm sorry but I'm gonna have to run you over!" Stan exclaimed. "If I can figure out how to move like a car!"
"Don't try Grunkle Stan!" Mabel retorted while flying up in the air with the wind flying all over the place. "You won't be a car for long! You'll probably be a golden coin that will never move and never talk, only see. No one will see the fear in your eyes as you're being rummaged through the pockets of some-"
Just then, a green leaf hit Mabel in the face, causing her monologue to be interrupted. But for some reason, the leaf wouldn't get off her face. It felt like the leaf was biting down on her nose really, really hard. And that's because, the leaf turned out to be none other than Janna.
"Get off me!" Mabel exclaimed.
"Then turn everyone back to normal!" Janna demanded still biting down hard on the nose.
Just then, Mabel lowered down on the ground to try and get the leaf off her nose but was instead run over by Stan. While Mabel did have the leaf off her nose, she was somehow left unharmed by the hard impact.
Eda used this opportunity to use her chameleon tongue to grab the colourless orb and into her mouth.
Mabel noticed this and tried to use her powers, but Stan quickly reversed into her and injured the powerful Pines twin.
She quickly stood up where she felt something cold and metallic in her mouth before. She crossed her eyes to look at what was in her mouth, which just so happened to be the colourless orb that granted Mabel her powers in the first place.
"Eat up you witch!" Eda exclaimed.
The orb glowed a bright gold causing Mabel to scream in pain as she felt her powers being taken away from her. The effect of Mabel losing her powers caused Hunter to turn back into his regular self, Eda back into her foxy lady self, Stan into the crooked Grunkle self and Janna back into her Janna self.
"Oh arms!" Hunter happily exclaimed. "How I missed you!" Just then, Hunter's Palisman, Lil' Rascal landed on his shoulder. "And where were you?"
The powerless Mabel eventually spat out the orb and sat up with a dizzy expression. She looked around at the damage she had caused and looked forward and noticed Eda putting the orb in a glass cup.
"This is definitely going into the boiling sea." Eda commented. "I can't imagine what it'd be like if Luz or King got their hands on it. Or worse, Hooty."
Mabel then started to feel her hair and went wide eyed. "Eww! It's spiky!"
"Okay, Mabel, you got a lot of explaining to do!" Stan yelled as he picked up his niece by the collar of her tank top to scold her. "Okay, first off! Do not touch stuff me and Eda bring back!"
"What did I touch?" Mabel asked.
"You touched an orb." Stan responded. "It was the last thing you touched before you got those powers."
"No, the last thing I touched was Waddles before dosing off." Mabel replied with confusion.
"Why are you acting like you don't know what happened today?" Stan asked with confusion.
"Oh yeah, the loss of powers causes 24 hours of memories lost." Janna explained while reading the book.
"Well that's convenient." Eda said. "I can't wait till she gets her first wanted poster."
"Seeing as the police are now going to be looking for a girl who looks like an Anime character we're going to have to drive you to Mexico." Stan said to Mabel.
"Or a universe where you haven't committed that crime and take that Mabel's place." Eda suggested.
"Or, use him." Janna suggested while pointing at Hunter who was picking up the orb.
Hunter noted how bright the orb was glowing and he looked back at Mabel. He then smiled, knowing what to do with it. "With this, I can have power over my own uncle." Hunter said while smiling sinisterly at the orb.
"Not today, kid!" Stan turned Hunter to face him and he got punched on his head, causing him to be knocked out.
"How did he get that out of my hand?" Eda asked.
Just then, Blubs and Durland parked up with handcuffs in their hands at the ready.
"Where's this crazy Anime character?" Durland asked.
"We heard that there's a crazy Anime character that needs arresting." Blubs explained.
"Don't worry officers." Eda assured the bumbling cop couple. "I, as a member of the Emperor's Coven, it is my duty to arrest a kid like him."
"Although, he might have some kind of memory loss due to a wicked punch you just missed." Stan said.
"And to prove I'm a part of the Emperor's Coven." Eda showed Blubs and Durland a badge with a name titled 'Lilith Clawthorne' and with a picture of Eda instead of Lilith.
"Well, the picture and name passes." Durland commented.
"Carry on." Blubs said before he and Durland walked back into their car.
"What about Toffee?" Stan asked.
"Wait, Toffee?!" Mabel exclaimed.
"Eh, he'll just have to keep ahead." Janna's joke made Stan, Mabel and Eda laugh. All while Candy and Clyde approached the five.
"Mabel, what was that?!" Candy angrily asked.
"Huh?"
"You ruined my chance with Neo Morpheus by upstaging me and destroying the arena!" Candy exclaimed.
"I'm no longer FBI but I can turn you in!" Clyde exclaimed.
"Who are you?" Mabel asked. "And who is Neo Morpheus?"
"This guy!" Candy unfolded a poster of Neo Morpheus. But instead of falling for him, Mabel instead stuck her tongue out.
"Eww! I don't like him." Mabel groaned.
Candy groaned. "Candy gives up!" Candy walked away with Clyde following.
"As well as Uncle Clyde!" Clyde yelled as he followed his niece.
"So, he has memory loss?" Janna asked, referring to Hunter.
"Yup." Stan replied. "He won't know what happened and he won't remember being a part of this little adventure."
"He won't remember, eh?" Eda asked with keen interest. Eda's keen interest look made Stan and Janna smile since they know what they were going to do to the young teenager.
Back in the Boiling Isles, Emperor Belos was staring at the door to the human realm as he was ready to move to the next phase of his evil plan.
Hunter soon walked in to see what his uncle was doing unaware of what Stan, Eda and Janna have done.
"Uncle."
Belos turned around and his smile turned into a surprised expression. "Nephew. You look, different."
"I might've been working out to pass the time." Hunter replied smugly.
"Have you looked in the mirror lately?"
"Am I growing stubble?"
"It appears you've already grown a beard." Belos threw his nephew a mirror which he caught.
Hunter looked at himself in the mirror and saw that someone had drawn a beard all over his face. His eyes went wide in shock as he screamed. "Who did this?!"
"You don't know?" Belos asked with confusion.
"No!" Hunter exclaimed. "But according to this drawing on my forehead, it was by Stan!"
Belos rubbed his nephew's forehead and the mark didn't come off. "That's a tattoo."
"Oh that's even worse." Hunter groaned.
"Listen Hunter, why don't you clean the beard off your face while I try and find someone to deal with that tattoo?"
"You don't want me to help with anything?"
"The Titan has plans for you." Belos replied. "And I don't think he doesn't want you looking like that."
"Yes, uncle." When Hunter started walking out of the room his uncle noted the sign on his back and it said, 'Curse me.'
Belos sighed. "On Titan help me now."
Epilogue.
Dipper, Pacifica, Marius and Grenda had exited the restaurant after having a night and fantastic meal.
"Wow, I feel like I haven't seen the outside world in years." Grenda commented.
"Me too." Dipper replied. "I just hope Grunkle Stan isn't on a stealing spree with Eda or some girl he really wants to adopt named Janna."
"Dipper Pines!"
The four looked down and noticed that the head of Toffee was in front of them, laying on his right ear.
"Was ist das?!" Marius exclaimed as he almost unsheathed his sword.
"Oh, that's Toffee." Pacifica replied.
"You mean that monster lizard that has been after you the majority of summer?" Pacifica nodded her head.
"Hey Toffee, need a hand?" Dipper asked, rather smugly.
"Oh yes." Toffee moved his eye to the right. "Joking at my expense."
"So, when will your body grow back?" Dipper asked.
"Well, due to the intense damage, I'm afraid that it will take about 19 hours until I am fully healed." Toffee replied. "And it takes about 2 hours until my neck grows back."
"Eh well, see you later." Dipper said before he, Pacifica, Marius and Grenda started their walk back to the Mystery Shack.
"Don't you want to hear my threat?" Toffee asked.
"No!"
"Fair enough." And so Toffee had to unfortunately spend the rest of the night as a head before his body could be fully restored.
