Two days have passed by, and things have immediately changed for Dipper and Mabel. They've learned that Grunkle Stan was trying to bring back the author of the journals, his brother, Stanford Pines. They were given an explanation on their origins, everything up until Stan opened the Mystery Shack. But unfortunately, Mabel overheard that Stanford wants everything back, his name, his home and the shut-down of the Mystery Shack. Stan promised it on one condition: He stays away from Dipper and Mabel for the sake of their safety. Mabel, fearing that she'll end up alone, forces Dipper to promise her that they won't end up like Stan and Ford. But it seems that it's only a matter of time before that happens.
Suddenly, a knock on the door was heard from downstairs.
"Kids?" Stan was heard. "I don't have any pants on, can you get that? Or maybe Stanford?"
"Dammit," Dipper said as he got out of bed. Mabel then sat straight up on her bed as Waddles licked her, making her laugh. "Someone's at the door."
Dipper went downstairs and opened the door as he sees someone, a Caucasian kid with brown hair. He wears a dark blue stripped shirt with gray trousers and brown shoes.
"Uh, hello?" Dipper asks, confused. "Can I help you?"
"I'm here to see Stan Pines." The kid replied.
"I'm sorry, but Grunkle Stan isn't available right now." Dipper said, sternly. "And the Mystery Shack is closed right now."
"Dipper, who is it?" Mabel asks, she then looked over to the left and saw the boy and was charmed by his looks. "Ooh, Dipper, I didn't know you were bringing a friend over to the Mystery Shack!"
"I'm not, Mabel." Dipper said, annoyed.
"And besides, I'm not into you, brace-face. Nobody wants to kiss metal on your teeth." The kid insulted Mabel. "You'd have a better shot with a magnet than you do with anyone else. Even Gideon deserved better."
Mabel gasped in shock as she was left speechless by this.
"Now, I would like to speak with Stan, please." The Kid said in a threatening tone towards Dipper.
"Back off my brother, dumbshit!" Mabel said, sternly.
"There's a potion deep within the woods of Gravity falls that I need, it's to help someone," The kid said in a sympathetic manner. He stopped to catch his breath as he gulped. He looked down as he continued, "She needs to realize how far from grace she's fallen, from being a sweet little child to a manipulative cow. I need to save her from herself."
Dipper felt bad for him knowing his feelings right now, considering what happened with Pacifica, he may have saved Pacifica from herself too that night if you put it into the kids' perspective. Whoever this person is, she must need help in the worst way possible like her.
But Mabel sensed something suspicious about this boy. Something about him gave her a bad vibe, even worse than Gideon.
"Well, how bad is it?" Dipper said.
"She's on the verge of losing it. I would know, I'm her only friend." The boy said. "Her father isn't too keen on her being social with others he doesn't sign off on. Her mother had the same fall from grace and I'm trying to end the Cycle of abuse."
"Why can't your parents help you?" Mabel asks, confused.
"Because, according to them, it's "None of our business"." The Boy mockingly spoke. "Well, I'm not gonna stand here and wait as the cycle repeats itself!"
Suddenly, they heard sobbing outside of the Mystery Shack, it came from Soos, Candy and Grenda.
"How long have you been standing there?" Dipper asks, awkwardly.
"Long enough to understand the context of the situation, dude!" Soos said, sniffling.
"Don't be a heartless jerk, Dipper, please help the poor boy!" Candy pleaded.
"Alright, I'll go get Grunkle Ford." Dipper said.
"Dipper, are you sure we can trust him?" Mabel asks, we trusted Pacifica's parents and Gideon and look what happened!" Mabel whispered.
"Maybe, and hopefully, this won't be as bad as the last few times, I would appreciate it if someone I helped didn't turn against me." Dipper said, annoyed.
At the Northwest Mansion, Priscilla was finishing up putting on her eyeliner for a public appearance in Gravity Falls, trying to put last night behind her. But she couldn't get those questions out of her head. Most in particular, the question she can't get out of her head is this: what went wrong with her life that led to this?
"Priscilla, we don't have all morning. Chesterton has the car ready." Preston said. "Exit the bathroom immediately."
Priscilla thought to herself, "Just worry about it later, now, your reputation matters more, young lady. Get it together." She then said out loud, "Coming, dear!"
But seriously, she needs to figure out what went wrong with her life. Maybe it will give her some insight to why she turned into who she is and why she stopped being who she was. She quickly exited the bathroom and walked towards her family room. She walked out as she took another glance at her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes widened as she saw her face. Then, it finally hit her...she wasn't the same girl anymore, she wasn't innocent, cute, fun-loving or playful anymore. She was no longer her old self, and was it all worth it? Just to get wealthy or famous?
"Mom, didn't you hear Dad?" Pacifica was heard outside the door.
"I'll catch up. I might even use the Lamborghini." Priscilla said.
"Priscilla Northwest-Dawson! You know very well that's for display only!" Preston said, annoyed. "To display our wealth and power!"
Priscilla groaned in frustration upon hearing that.
Back at the Shack, Mabel was playing with Waddles as the new kid and Dipper told Stan and Ford everything.
"So, you have to save a girl from herself? Sounds cliche, and something from a movie." Stan said as he finally got dressed in his night clothes. "But at the same time, it sounds easy."
"Stan, getting this potion isn't easy." Ford said, annoyed. "It's deep in the coal mine."
"That's where Dipper fought that Giant Robot!" Mabel smiled, remembering the time Dipper fought Gideon inside the Gideon-Bot after the latter took Mabel as a hostage. Ford was confused.
"It's a long story..." Stan said as soon as Ford opened his mouth.
"Either way, it's called the Redemption Potion, it allows the person who drinks it to literally see what they used to be, in a drop, they have 24 hours to realize what they've become since then. But you have to use just a drop of the potion, any more than that and it might work too well or go awkwardly wrong." Ford said, handing Dipper Journal #2.
"Ew! Is that Gideon's Journal? You're not even gonna let me sanitize it?" Mabel said, angrily.
"I did that after we got the Mystery Shack back, sweetie." Stan said.
"I...I... I'm sorry, who's Gideon?" Ford asks.
"Again, long story." Stan said, annoyed.
"Just tell me how to get to the potion." The New Kid impatiently said.
"Don't worry, dudes." Soos said, entering the room. "I can take you in there. I can just drive you to it."
"Really, that would save a lot of time for all of us, then." Ford said.
"Wait a minute, Sixer, I'm not leavin' you alone with those kids, I'm going with you, and that's the end of it." Stan said, rising from his chair. "Soos, start the car!"
"Can I see your phone for a quick moment?" The New Kid said.
"Make it quick." Stan said, sternly.
"Here, you can use mine." Mabel said.
In the Northwest Car, Preston was reading the Newspaper about what happened at the party 2 nights ago, and he was fuming in fury at the fact taht the Riff Raff enjoyed themselves at his party. Pacifica uneasily sat as the butler drove them to the Mall. Priscilla didn't want to admit it, but for some reason, she felt sorry for Pacifica, with her father furious at her, but did she ruin the reputation of the Northwests? Or are they trying to convince themselves that their family legacy was more important?
"Master Preston?" Chesterton said, handing him Pacifica's Phone, which Preston confiscated for her act of disobedience and refused to give it back until she learns how to behave like a Northwest should. "Phone Call for the heiress,"
"Hang it up." Preston said, sternly as he hung up. He was about to give it back, but unfortunately, the phone rang again. Preston repeated his action, but the Phone rang again. "Who the devil is calling her?"
He sees it, and it's Mabel Pines?!
"That Pines girl?" Preston said, stunned.
"Perhaps she wants to apologize for her brother's influence on our daughter..." Priscilla shrugged. Everyone glanced at Priscilla in surprise. She has never said anything like that before. No way!
Preston was skeptical, but he gave Pacifica the phone, and she answered, "Hello? This is the Heiress to the Northwest Family legacy, Pacifica Elise Northwest speaking."
"Still quite the dry wit girl, eh, blondie?" The voice answered on the phone. Pacifica gasps in horror as soon as she recognized that voice.
"Lawrence?!" Pacifica gulped. This got Priscilla concerned about what was happening on her daughter's phone call.
"So, you do recognize my voice?"
"What do you want?"
"Meet me in the food court of the mall in twenty minutes."
"No. I can't meet you I won't."
"You can and you will Red! It's as inevitable as the tides." He hung up.
Preston was confused at this as he states, "That wasn't the Pines Girl at all."
Her blood ran cold as ice, and her heart was pounding faster than waddles snoring, what she was about to say chilled her to the bone. She almost considered keeping it a secret, but she knew that would only make things worse. And so, she made her choice.
"That wasn't Mabel, it was Lawrence Klerkson." Pacifica said, shell shocked.
