A/N: Second Love Interest in the story... first male one too! Enjoy!
Chapter 5: Lil Ol' Him
The twins were watching TV when a commercial came on. Soos ran into the room.
"Whoa! Dudes it's the commercial I told you about." Said Soos.
It began to tell about someone named Gideon who could solve everyone's problems.
"What's so special about him?" asked Mabel.
"He's a psychic." Said the voice.
"Aroo?" said a confused Mabel.
"Don't waste your time with so called men of mystery." Said the voice over while it showed a picture of Stan with the phrase "Fraud" on it.
"Learn tomorrow tonight at the tent of telepathy." Said the voice over which then did a disclaimer of things.
"I'm getting all cursory inside." Said Mabel.
"Don't' get all cursory. Ever since that monster Gideon showed up I had nothing but trouble." Said Stan.
"Wait if he causes you trouble why don't you just I don't use real things from around town." Said Dipper.
'Hey don't you think I tried that. After about a year I decided to have my first real attraction." Said Stan, "Didn't go so well."
(Flashback)
The clerk at the gift was listening to "Girls just want to have fun." On the radio.
"Everyone flee! It's escaped!" yelled Stan.
The horrific smother began to lay waste to the gift shop as the song continued to play.
"This is what I get for coming to the murder hut!" yelled a random person.
(End of Flashback)
"And that's how I learned that most of the things out there is dangerous." Said Stan.
"Wow, that's worse than when you tried to use me as a attraction." Laughed Soos.
(Flashback)
Soos-y Bear was driving Stan around in training to see if he could drive as a bear.
That was when Soos-y Bearn noticed a picnic basket.
"Soos no!" yelled Stan.
"Soos yes!" said Soos as he drove the car towards the picnickers.
(End of Flashback)
"What were talking about again?" asked Stan.
"Gideon." Said Mabel.
"You're not going, I'm not allowing anyone under my roof go to his." Said Stan.
"Do tents have roofs?" asked Dipper.
"Look like we found a loop whole… literally." Said Mabel taking out a string with a loophole, "Whomp, whomp."
They got to the Tent of Telepathy, but as luck would have it, in the parking lot, someone tossed a bottle of water that hit all three of them.
"Oh come on!" yelled Ursa.
A few people stared at them.
"Jusenkyo." Said Soos-y Bear.
That just made people get bored and leave them alone.
Ursa took out a thermos.
"It's pretty empty, I think it only has a enoguh for two." Said Ursa who then sighed, "And unfortunately I'm the only one who looks human."
Soos-Y Bear and May Belle both changed back leaving only Ursa.
They got inside the tent with Ursa sighing.
But she couldn't help but to admire the Tent of Telepathy.
"It's like a bizarro version of the mystery shack." She said.
"They even have their Soos." Said Mabel pointing at a handy Man named Deuce.
The two glared at each other as the show began.
"It's starting!" cheered Mabel.
"Let's see what this monster look like." Said Ursa.
The curtains opened and a little boy with white hair was on stage.
"Hello America, my name is Lil' Gideon." Said the boy who clapped his hands and doves came out of his hair.
"That's Gideon?" asked Ursa.
"But he's so wittle." Said Mabel.
"Ladies and Gentlemen it is such a gift to have you tonight. I had a vision I predict that you're going to say "Awww…"" said Gideon.
Then he made an adorable face that made everyone go "Awww…"
"Hit it dad!" said Gideon who began a song and dance number.
During it he got everyone to stand up and keep it going much to Ursa's confusion.
"How did he do that?" asked Ursa.
And so Gideon began to make all sorts of "predictions" such as the town's sheriff being there before (he was decked out in Gideon Gear), an old woman's son hadn't called (she had cats with her) and even Mabel's name (she was wearing a sweater wit her name on it).
When the show was done they walked about.
"No wonder why Stan hates him." Said Ursa, "He's a bigger fraud."
"I don't know, I found it charming." Said Mabel.
"You're just easily impressed." Said Ursa.
The two began to playfully fight unaware that Gideon was watching.
The next day Mabel showed up with a bedazzled face.
"Blink." She said while she blinked, "Ow."
"Isn't that permanent?" asked Dipper.
"I'm unappreciated in my time." Said Mabel.
That was when the doorbell rang.
"Someone go get that!" yelled Stan.
Mabel decided she would be the one to do it.
Turns out it was Gideon.
"Howdy!" said Gideon.
"It's Wittle ol' you." Laughed Mabel.
"Yeah, my song is catchy." Said Gideon, "Now I know we haven't formally met, but after yesterday's performance I couldn't get your laugh out of my head."
"You mean this?" Mabel asked then laughed obnoxiously
"Yes that's the one." Said Gideon, "When I saw you on the audience I said to myself "That's someone who appreciates the sparkly things in life""
"Totally me." Said Mabel.
She provoked to cough off the bedded jewels onto his suit, but he liked it.
"Who's at the door!" yelled Stan.
"No one!" yelled Mabel.
"I can't believe you're related opt Stan, how can a peach so sweet be related to a lemon so sour?" asked Gideon.
Mabel laughed.
"How about we get out of here, to my private dressing room." Said Gideon.
"Make-overs!" cheered Mabel.
And so Gideon took her to his dressing room, where me made a comment about liking Mabel.
And so Mabel got a makeover.
When she showed off to Dipper he jumped. Of course there excess make up and really long nails didn't help.
"What happened? You looked a wolverine." Said Dipper.
"I know." Said Mabel who scratched the air with nails, "I was hanging out with my new pal Gideon!"
"I don't trust anyone whose hair is bigger than his hair." Said Dipper.
"Oh lay off you don't want to girly sisterly bonding with me." Said Mabel.
"Last time you did you ambushed me with a bucket." Said Dipper.
Mabel began to pout, "Yeah, but you also get to do guy stuff with Soos." Said Mabel.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Said Dipper.
"Hey Dipper! You want to blow up hot dogs one at a time in the microwave?" asked Soos.
"Do I?" asked Dipper.
They ran into the kitchen and began to chant "One at a time! One at a Time!" as they blew up hotdogs.
And so Mabel and Gideon hung out again watching the sunset with their opera glasses.
"You know up here with you it makes me feel like a king observing my land." Said Gideon, "And that would make you my queen."
"Oh quit it." Teased Mabel.
"I can't quit it." Said Gideon, "I'm speaking from the heart."
"Speaking from the where." Said Mabel.
"I never felt this close to anyone." Said Gideon, "So, so close."
He began to stroke her hair which weirder her out.
"Look Gideon, I like you a lot." Sighed Mabel, "As a friend."
"At least give me a chance Mabel, just one date." Said Gideon.
"A play date?" asked Mabel.
Gideon shook his head no.
"A shopping date." Said Mabel.
"No a real date, just one lil' date, swear on my lucky bolo tie." Said Gideon.
"Okay…" sighed Mabel.
"Oh you made me so happy!" said Gideon hugging her.
"Are you sniffing my hair?" asked Mabel.
Gideon didn't answer.
And so it was time for the first date.
She and Dipper were playing a video game while she waited.
"So you're going on a date?" asked Dipper.
"Yeah, but it's not a date, date…" said Mabel, "We're still just friends I didn't want to break his heart."
" I don't know Mabel, guys don't work that way, he's going to fall in love with you." Said Dipper.
"I'm not that loveable." Said Mabel she got a point in the game and she cheered
"We're in agreement with something." Said Dipper, "By the way, have you told him you know…"
"The unicorn thing… not yet." Said Mabel, "But now's not a good time."
That was when she got the door, not only was it Gideon was but he was riding a horse.
"Oh boy…" said Mabel.
And so they went on their date.
While they were Stan found a picture in the newspaper about it.
This got him angry that he went to confront Gideon.
"I told her not to do it." Said Dipper trying to stop him.
But he was already gone.
Back with the date it was going well… Gideon did yell at the waiter… but that was somewhat expected.
"Mabel this night was a complete success." Said Gideon, "And tomorrow's date will top it."
"You promised one date… and this was that." Said Mabel.
That was when a parrot flew in.
"Oh look a red crested south American macaw." Said Gideon.
The parrot said "Mabel! Will you accompany Gideon to the ballroom dance this Thursday."
He shook the macaw.
"Thursday." It corrected.
Mabel didn't' know how to respond… then this happened…
"Oh so adorable!" said a woman.
"He's got a little girlfriend." Said a chef.
"They're expecting us." Said Gideon, "Please say you'll go."
"Gideon…" said Mabel, "I… I…"
"I'm on the edge of my seat." Said the sheriff.
"If she says no I'll die." Said an old woman.
"I can verify that." Said a doctor.
Mabel looked at the crowd and sighed.
When got back home she carried a lobster and put it in the fish tank.
"How did it go?" asked Dipper.
"Fine… I have a lobster now." Said Mabel.
She began to cry.
"He asked me out again and I don't know how to say no." said Mabel.
"Like this: No." said Dipper.
"I can't do it like that! I see him as a friend/little sister." Said Mabel, "I just have remain a friend." Said Mabel.
And soon the next date which turned into a romantic boat ride. Mabel was very nervous about the boat righty.
It wasn't the romantic part, it was the curse part and this would have been a horrible way to tell Gideon.
And because ease sitting rather stiffly on the boat she wasn't able to try to convince him to be friends again.
"are you okay." Said Gideon.
"You should have told me about the boat ride portion." Said Mabel, "I don't go well with water…"
"Oh so you suffer from Aquaphobia?" asked Gideon, "Strange because you phrased the bubbly water last night…"
"Uh…" said Mabel, "Maybe we should just end this date…"
"But you'll miss this." Said Gideon.
"Miss what?" asked Mabel.
Fireworks shot off with a heard with Mabel's name in it.
She stared at the fireworks.
"You can't say no that …" said the boatman who was the crazy hillbilly of the town.
Mabel didn't know what to say and so that night was pacing back and forth.
"He just had to choose a boat! A boat! I didn't want to tell him like that and I was so focused on that that now I'm stuck I'm stuck!" said Mabel.
"What happened on the date." Said Dipper.
"Boat ride…" said Mabel.
"You should have told him." Said Dipper.
"And now I have another date with him!" said Mabel.
"Just calm down, it's not like you have to marry him!" said Dipper.
"Good news Stan, you have to marry Gideon!" said Stan.
"What!" yelled Mabel.
"When did this happen, last time I saw you were complaining about Gideon." Said Dipper.
"Well things changes… and business opportunities. I have a lot of money riding on this thing… plus I got a free shirt." Said Stan.
He put on a shirt that said "Team Gideon."
Mabel streamed and ran out of the room.
Dipper sighed and followed her.
He wasn't expecting to find her in the bathroom filling up a bucket with water.
"I'm just going to run away! Become a unicorn and avoid hot water at all costs!" said Mabel.
"That's a terrible idea." Said Dipper.
"It's the only way!" cried Mabel.
"Enoguh is enough! I'll break up for Gideon for you!" said Dipper.
"That's a perfect idea! I can't believe I thought of it before!" said Mabel.
Dipper's eyes widened, "I didn't mean it like that!" said Dipper.
"Come on, it will be easy he'll think you're me." Said Mabel.
"No way! Not going to happen." Said Dipper, "There is no way I'm going to agree to this."
The next day Ursa was dressed like Mabel.
"I can't believe I agreed to this." Said Ursa.
"Do you have the script I gave you?" asked Mabel.
"Yeah." Sighed Ursa.
"Please! Follow the script! He has to believe it!" said Mabel.
"Fine…" sighed Ursa.
She looked at the club that Mabel was supposed to meet Gideon sighed and went inside.
She said Gideon and sighed.
"Hey Gideon!" said Ursa.
"Oh Mabel!" said Gideon.
Ursa sighed and did her best impression.
"Listen, I just want to be friends." Said Ursa, "I'm sorry for breaking your heart… but that's all I want."
Gideon looked at Ursa, he looked her cheeks, her eyes, her mouth and her nose, he made a face of thought.
"I see…" said Gideon.
"I'm sorry… I hope you understand." Said Ursa.
She left the club and Gideon sighed.
That night he was looking at some pictures that Mabel gave him.
One was of Mabel and Dipper, when Gideon expressed surprised at her having a brother (due to the fact that he was Ursa at the time and he didn't want a lot of people know about it), she gave him a second one, of her with Ursa.
Gideon looked at the picture with Ursa. He quickly realized what happened.
The next day Dipper was reading the journal. When there was a doorbell rang. It turned out it was Gideon.
"Oh yes, Dipper it's you… um… are both Mabel and Ursa home?" asked Gideon.
"She gave you that name." sighed Dipper.
"I know it's a nickname…" said Gideon, "It's quite silly, I know, I know.
Dipper blinked.
"Fine… I'll go get them." Sighed Dipper.
He went upstairs to find Mabel making a larger than normal sweater.
"It's for when I get change into a unicorn." She explained, "This way if I suddenly turned back it won't be like the cup o' noodles incidents." Said Mabel.
(Flashback)
The two were searching for the Journal, when they aw Soos-y Bear run passed them holding a picnic basket.
"Hey! Dudes!" called out Soos-y Bear.
That was when he tripped and the contents of the picnic basket fell ion him, for someone reason there was a cup o' noodles and it contents pouted on Soos turning him back.
Both of them scream and Soos once again took off his hat to cover his shame.
(End of Flashback)
"I see." Said Dipper, "Gideon's here and we wants to speak to you and "Ursa"…"
Mabel took out a squirt gun from her pillow and squirted Dipper.
"You've been saving that, haven't you…" said Ursa.
"Oh yeah." Said Mabel.
Both of them went downstairs.
"Are you dressed like your brother?" Gideon asked Ursa.
"Yeah… I like to sometimes." Sighed Ursa still wasting to keep it under wraps.
Gideon sighed.
"Mabel, Ursa… I know it wasn't Mabel last night." Said Gideon.
"What?" asked Ursa.
"I noticed it was Mabel right away." Said Gideon, "You two might seem identical but your not, Mabel has rosy cheeks and braces, Ursa you have an orange nose. Plus you two have different color eyes."
Ursa face palmed.
"Look I understand Ursa if you want me to yourself but you can't just break me and Mabel." Said Gideon.
"What…" said Ursa, "That's not…"
"Hold on!" said Mabel, "I need to speak to my sister about her betray!"
"What?" said Ursa.
Mabel dragged Ursa away.
"I have an idea!" said Mabel.
"Please don't tell me…" said Ursa.
"Just follow my lead." Said Mabel.
"Oh no…" said Ursa.
The two went to talk to Gideon.
"Tell me Gideon what do you think of Ursa." Said Mabel.
"Well…" said Gideon.
He looked at Ursa and while she did look almost identical to Mabel, there were differences. Not just in look but her feel. Mabel was girly-girl through and trough… but Ursa had more of a tomboy feel (mainly because she was a boy, but he didn't know that), plus she seemed much more mature, plus while Mabel smelled of sugar, Ursa smell of nature (mainly because she was dryad, but once again he didn't know that).
He began to blush as he realized that… yes he had developed feelings for her too.
Maybe it was because of her looks, maybe it because of the differences, maybe it was a subconscious desire he wasn't even aware of yet even though he was still young.
Bu he was starting to feel for Ursa.
"Well I haven't' gotten to know her…" said Gideon.
"Oh so you like her too!" said Mabel, "How could you…"
"Wait… I…" said Gideon.
"Both of us refuse to go out with you until you choose." Said Mabel.
Ursa looked at Mabel who winked.
"Yes… you have to choose and until you choose won't date you at all." Said Ursa somewhat stiffly.
Gideon sighed, "I think I understand." Said Gideon.
"Just remember I want to be your firmed still… but I can't date you… not while you and my sister love each other." Said Mabel.
Ursa tried to keep a straight face as her eyebrow ticked.
"I understand." Sighed Gideon.
"So still makeover bides." Said Mabel.
"Make-over buddies… for now… one day I will make my decision…" said Gideon, "But I have a lot of through to put into it."
"Good!" said Mabel.
Gideon sighed, and left.
"Mabel… that was a really bad idea." Said Ursa.
"It will be fine…" said Mabel, "He might get over me…"
"Or he'll get overt you and start wanting to date me." Said Ursa.
"That's what you get for wanting to keep it a secret." Said Mabel with a shrug.
"You haven't told him about yours either." Said Ursa.
Gideon made it to his house where Stan and his father Bud were having a drink.
"To our families." Said Bud.
"And our money…" said Stan.
That was When Gideon came and sighed.
"Sorry but the deals off." Said Gideon.
"What?" asked Stan.
"I can't date your notice when your other niece is in love with me! And I think I love both of them!" cried Gideon.
"Other Niece?" asked Stan his eyes winded, "Oh…"
"We'll make the deal once it's settled." Said Gideon.
"Yeah…" said Stan.
Gideon left the room and made his way to his room.
"Sorry about this." Said Bud tearing up the contract.
"It's fine…" said Stan.
"Wait don't you have only have a niece and a nephew." Said Bud.
"It's completed…" sighed Stan.
"Jusenkyo?" guessed Bud.
"Yeah, he turns into a Dryad." Said Stan.
"Not a bad one." Said Bud with a shrug.
"Yeah but he's embarrassed about the whole girl thing." Said Stan.
"Oh well. I won't tell Gideon, if he thinks he's in a love triangle then he might actually on good behavior." Said Bud.
"Can I have that clown painting." Said Stan.
"It's mine." Said Bud.
"What's that over there!" said Stan.
Bud looked and Stan stole the painting.
After all they weren't partners anymore so it didn't' matter if he stole from them.
When Stan got back to the Mistier Shack he yelled out "Kids!"
"Yeah…" said Dipper and Mabel coming down.
"Can you tell me why you're stringing along Gideon with a fake love triangle." Said Stan.
"It was all Mabel's idea." Said Dipper.
"Look I don't' care… just try to make money again in the future.., ask right." Said Stan.
The twins looked at each other and shrugged.
Dipper sighed.
"Oh calm don Dipper, it's not that bad, you just have to avoid him as Ursa." Said Mabel.
"Stop calling my girl form that." Said Dipper, "I don't know… I just have a bad feeling about something."
"It will be fine." Said Mabel.
Dipper sighed, he just couldn't help getting as bad feeling about something.
Meanwhile in Gideon Room he had made dolls of Mabel and Ursa.
"Oh Gideon! I love you more!" said Mabel doll
"No I love you more!" said the Ursa doll.
"Oh girls… I don't know whip to choose." Said Gideon to the dolls.
He looked at a book nearby, it was a book with a golden 6 fingered on it, with the number 2 on it.
Indeed Gideon had the second Journal.
"Maybe you can fine ways to figure it out using her your journal." He had the Ursa doll say.
That was when Bud opened the door.
Gideon hid his dolls.
"Knock on my door next time!" said Gideon.
"Sorry I just wanted to tell you about the ice-cream man…" said Bud.
"Did you see anything?" asked Gideon.
"I didn't see you playing with your dolls again!" said Bud.
"Good!" said Gideon.
And so Gideon followed his father to get ice cream.
Unaware about what was really going on, and with the twins currently unaware that Gideon held Journal 2.
This station was much complicated than they thought…
Next Time: Dipper realizes he had a crush on Wendy. So when he and Mabel deiced to hang out with her friends what's the worst that can happen? Find out next time!
A/N: Gideon is going to have a much less agnostic role in the story. He will still summon Bill Cipher but the circumstances will be different. And yes, he's very much the Kuno in the story in that he's convinced he's in a love triangle when he really isn't... I couldn't help myself.
Also on a side note, I've been wanting to make that Spaceballs reference with Gideon for a while now... it just first so much...
