Hello all you wonderful people and welcome to the new update. This one is unexpected but I had a few issues with my laptop and lost a bunch of progress on a few of my work. While I recovered some, I had to redo several other projects. But this wasn't one of them oddly enough but more on that later.
Some of you may or may not have noticed the change of title as I talked with a few other writers and came with a change of plans for this. The first plan was doing each Gravity Falls reactions as their own stories but talking it over it was better to have them all here. So after this one we have a new story for the group to watch but what it will be I will leave a surprise.
And one final shoutout to my friend and fellow writer Wolfpackersson09. He is someone who helps inspire me to do a few stories and reactions (sometimes begging) and this was an update for his birthday which was a week or so ago but things kept popping up and delaying me. So a late happy birthday wolf, hope it was a nice one and hope you like the late present.
Disclaimer; I do not know the wonderful series called Gravity Falls nor the story I am reacting to. The story is made by Wolfpackersson09 and shadowwriter329. I hope the characters are as close to cannon as possible and the reactions would be close to it.
Gravity Falls Dimension Files: Gravity Falls for Devils
Chapter 5: Contracts, Thievery and Mask Sitri
When the next reel started again Pacifica was surprised to see her bedroom was the first thing they see. While she was shocked her home life was being shown, she was also worried and prayed that it didn't show too much. 'Please don't show the bell. Please don't show the bell.'
Pacifica growled annoyingly as she all but slammed the door to her room shut. Her parents were getting on her last nerves, even more so then usual. Normally she was allowed to go to parties, normal ones from 'common folks' as her parents call them, but after she got back it seemed to be different. They didn't care as long as she acted like how it was expected of her, show her status above everyone else and pretty much have everyone wishing they were her. She was glad she didn't let them know there was a contest otherwise they would lecture her of not winning since according to them, "A Northwest never loses."
She able to show a picture she had taken with Kim Possible, as a way to show others how much better she was by getting her picture taken with a world famous celebrity. Somehow they found out that Kim did that for almost all the guests as well and thought it was not good enough since it was just the same as normal folks. What did they expect her to do? Have Kim sign her name under Northwest praise or to have the superhero indorse her family.
Pacifica groaned, knowing that if that had happen to her she would have to go through the same thing. She really felt pity for her counterpart.
Pacifica thought part of their parent's mood was due to the Pioneer Day was in less than a week and she was expected to give an opening speech showing how her Great-grandfather founded the town. And while she was proud of her family name the way her parent's went about it make the point felt bitter at times. Yes, she was a bit spoiled, she will admit to that, but even she didn't think her family was a godsend to the town. "Why can't they give me a break?" she asked aloud as she flopped onto her bed.
She reaches out for her diary in order to go through her frustration when her hand came up a single loose sheet of paper. She was confused for a moment and glanced up to her dresser to see what she had grabbed. It was the flier Dipper gave her at that party. She sat up holding the flier out for her to look at in detail. It looked simple enough, a brown paper flier with a large seal in the center that was blue and looked sort of like a necklace in her opinion. Pacifica remembered that Dipper said that would be able to make a wish on the flier but she was spectacle a little bit. But living in the strange town for fifteen years allowed Pacifica to notice a few things. More than once she thought she saw something in the woods or near the edge of town. She never said anything, but she could have sworn she saw men smaller than children with beards trying to steal pies or other food from places. And one time when riding with her family on their boat she saw a large shadow swimming by and the glimpse of a tail pushing out of the water.
Dipper glanced at Pacifica at this, causing the girl to frown before she shook her head as she didn't recall any of those. Dipper then shared a look with Mabel, Soos and Wendy, all of them realizing why Pacifica didn't recall anything like that.
She wasn't sure if Dipper was telling the truth or not, but she did remember how he treated her like a normal girl, even flirting with her without knowing of her wealth. It was a bit refreshing, as she has dealt with a few boys only interested in her money.
Pacifica gained a small smile, knowing that exact feeling. She was happy that Dipper wasn't at least like that.
Seeing she had nothing to lose she got off her bed and into an open space in her room. Even if nothing happen she would just teaser Dipper for the trick when she sees him again, but what to wish for?
"Okay," Pacifica said aloud thinking that if it was real then it was voice activated. "I wish…for a way to get rid of my stress. To make me feel better about how my parents are frustrating me."
To her amazement the seal on the flier glowed a light blue and a larger seal appeared on the floor in front of her. Pacifica stared as the feeling of magic was in the air and her hair rose slightly but she didn't notice. "Dipper?"
"Wasn't expecting that huh?" Wendy joked getting an annoyed look from Pacifica.
A figure rose from the seal and floor as if it was simply water. She saw the familiar blue and white cap over brown hair and the face of the boy she talked to days ago. Dipper smiled seeing Pacifica in front of him, "Pacifica, nice to see you again."
Pacifica stared for a moment before she shakes her head and recovered. "So you weren't lying to me. But you're not dressed like a genie." She said in a teasing tone and a smile.
Once again this got laughs from Mabel and her friends. Dipper groaned while Pacifica blushed at the possible image but manage to keep herself from being too out of it this time.
"Well, I never said that I was a genie." Dipper said with a smile as the two looked at each other a bit. Dipper was slightly amused at Pacifica's confused expression before he explained, "I am a Devil of the house of Sitri."
"So, I make a wish and you steal my soul?" Pacifica asked as she thought about it a bit. While she knew what Hell was supposed to be like, Dipper didn't seem like the evil type, "you don't exactly look evil."
"That's going to keep coming up isn't it?" Dipper asked aloud.
"To be fair not many are willing or able to do research on devil from a science point of view," Ford offered as an explanation. "So all we know would be speculations and myths."
"Well, we don't take souls. I just fulfill a wish; you sign this contract, and give me some sort of compensation, like money, favors, and so on. I don't think I've done anything that would require a lifetime of servitude, which is pretty close to selling your soul." Pacifica thought about Dipper's words. While it sounded like he was honest, she wasn't quite sold. Lots of weird things happened, and she was a young woman that wanted proof.
"Well, I'm going to need to see some proof, like take me to Hawaii and back." Pacifica said as Dipper nodded and got to work. That confused the blonde as she looked at the handiwork. "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to fulfill your wish. I just need to make a seal that will teleport you with me and we can have some time in Hawaii, just make sure you have swimwear." Dipper just continued as Pacifica decided to be prepared if he was right. If he were wrong, then it would relieve a bit of stress as she could poke fun at his attempt to play the wish-granting devil, but if he was right, then she could have a mini-vacation in Hawaii, even if she would have to pay for it.
Pacifica pouts at her counterpart going to Hawaii. Don't get her wrong her family could easily afford and go there, but they never did as her parents had a dislike to the native residents of Hawaii not to mention the atmosphere, at least that was her parents reasonings.
Dipper waited patiently and with his back turned as she gathered her clothes and changed behind a changing screen. "So anywhere special in Hawaii you want to go to?"
"I don't even know any places," Pacifica confessed before stepping back out.
Dipper turned out and could not help but stare. Pacifica was wearing a slightly modest hot pink bikini with a flower design on the top and the bottom tied at her hips. It showed off her curves and the bikini top pushed her bust up to show more attention to them while still being modest. The girl then got a towel and a pair of sunglasses before standing expecting by Dipper. "So how do we do this?"
Mabel, Candy and Grenda looked in awe of the older Pacifica. Pacifica herself approved and was happy her counterpart still had her wonderful fashion sense. She dared to glance at Dipper and smirked seeing that the boy was staring.
"You do nothing," Dipper explained before he focused his magic and a new seal appeared under both their feet.
Pacifica stared amazed as the seal glowed brighter and she had to cover her eyes but felt her body lowering into it, even if it felt like her feet were on solid ground. Her body gave the feeling of weightlessness before it was over and light nearly blinded her. But this was sunlight as she got her eyes to adjust and feel the heat on her skin. She stared amazed to see themselves coming out of a thick bunch of trees and plants, palms trees for that matter, and onto a beach. The beach and many people relaxing and having a good time but Pacifica say it was clean and the waves rolling in looked crisp and clean. In the distance she could see several people were surfing out at sea. Dipper chuckled seeing her amazed expression, before he stated, "Pacifica Northwest, welcome to Hawaii."
Once again Pacifica pouts and envies her counterpart; not only going to Hawaii but also going with Dipper.
Stan was having a good day counting money he got from the last batch of tourist. He chuckled happy that they always fall for the magic sack trick. He walked towards the gift shop while softly singing to himself, "Today's a good day, ripped off a bunch and suckers, and made lots of money."
He noticed Wendy coming out of the shop, the girl was scowling and her hands were in her pockets. Stan raised a brow, "What's eating you?"
Wendy said nothing but slammed the door behind her and started walking off towards home. Stan watched her go confused before he shrugged and muttered "teenagers."
Wendy rolled her eyes at this. Stan said nothing but massage his head since he had a few days like that with Wendy.
He entered the gift shop to see Soos fixing the Vending Machine and Nabiki was counting stock and going over some numbers on her chart. Stan usually uses devils from the kids' peerage since it was cheaper for him, and he'll admit he liked Nabiki the most. She had a sense of business, a stern approach in her dealings and a love of money; all things he can respect. "So what's the good news girl?" he asked her as he walked closer.
Nabiki frowned, "The numbers aren't adding up."
Stan frown, "What do you mean?"
"I mean the number of items stocked doesn't match the profit we got today. Several items are missing, but we don't have the money for those items. And I doubled and triple checked everything so it's not a stocking error."
Stan scowled hearing this, "I already don't like this one."
"Stanly it just started," Ford pointed out.
"When someone is stealing from you and making you lose money then you can say that."
Stan scowled, "Great someone stole from me. Wait here," he gave Nabiki the money he just made and headed towards his office.
Nabiki counted the money to add to the total before Stan returned a few minutes later. He held a VHS tape and headed towards the counter. From under the counter he pulled a miniature TV and puts the tape in. he fast forward through slow parts before he went wide eyed and stopped. Nabiki and Soos looked at the screen before Nabiki also went wide eyed and Soos gasped and covered his mouth. The screen showed Wendy in a bad mood, then passed Nabiki and swiped a small item off the shelf. "Wendy no," Soos moaned, unable to believe it.
Soos himself gasped while Wendy stiffens and go wide eyed. Mabel and Dipper glanced at each other worried at what Grunkle Stan would do to their friend. Stan did nothing as he watches this. He didn't so much as speak or even look at Wendy. Wendy felt that was worst and knew her counterpart was in trouble. 'Shit.'
Nabiki stared as a few more scene of Wendy stealing something, "How the hell did she do that when I was watching!?"
Stan just scowled and narrowed his eyes.
Stan did the same, still not saying a single word.
Pacifica spun around looking at everything on the beach, "This is amazing. I'm actually in Hawaii."
"Yeah, a lot of people get surprised when they teleport the first time, and because I know this area a bit better, then I don't have to worry as much about the visualizing part." Dipper noted Pacifica's confused look at what he said. He kind of guessed that it would happen, "Teleporting is harder then people think, and it's kind of like Apparating from Harry Potter. If you don't get the picture of where you want to be in your head, then we could've just as easily ended up in either a volcano or shark infested water."
"Fascinating," Ford whispered as he wrote down some notes. He heard of different teleporting abilities and machines during his travels through the multiverse. Hell, a good friend during said travels had a way to travel almost any dimension at will. The only reason he didn't use that to get to his home dimension was he didn't know which was his own and with the portal hidden under his house as the main focus point. That and he looking for tools to make a weapon to defeat Bill.
Pacifica gulped at the thought of being burned or eaten alive, but she then reminded herself that she was here to relax. To let go of her parent's expectations and just be herself. It also helped that there was someone to hang out with, and in her opinion he was pretty good looking.
"Well, that's something to think about. So, why don't you show me around this place and have some fun?" Dipper showed Pacifica around, and he knew that this was actually Lilo's hometown, having come here more then once before.
"So jealous," Mabel muttered as she saw her brother and Pacifica in Hawaii. She planned on teasing them when this was over but she also knew if she did Pacifica would be able to turn it back on her.
"Doesn't your girl devil friends with Lilo and Sitch?" Grenda reminded.
"Yeah," Candy remembered. "That means that you went there too."
"Great!" Mabel shouts, throwing her hands into the air. "Now I'm even more jealous."
Wendy wasn't sure what to expect when Stan summoned her for something, but as soon as she ported in back to the Shack, as she was taught how to do it by Dipper, she was immediately placed on a chair and felt like she was going to be interrogated.
Wendy winced here, knowing her girl was in big trouble.
Stan sat behind his desk with a stern look on his face and Nabiki standing beside him with her arms crossed. "Wendy," Stan started at the still scowling teen, "Do you know why I asked you here?"
"No idea" Wendy said.
"I have you stealing several items on our security tapes," Stan explained, "And what all I can say is-"
Wendy went wide eyed and said quickly "Mr. Pine please don't fire me! I'm sorry for what I did! My dad has just been getting on my case with how much trouble I have been getting into with my friends and I was so angry all day."
Wendy made sure not to look anyone in the eye. She felt for her counterpart, she really did as she went through the same thing and she may or may not have stolen a few items from the shack to calm her nerves. She wasn't caught but she hoped her counterpart didn't get into too much trouble for this.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" Stan quickly said with his hands up, "take it easy girl; I'm not firing you."
"You're not?" Wendy asked surprised and confused.
"You're not?" Nabiki echoed in the same expression.
"You're not?" Wendy echoed as well, not sure if she was hearing this right.
"You're not?" Ford asked his brother in a deadpan tone.
"I wouldn't," Stan confirmed with a smirk.
"I'm not," Stan confirmed before he smiled at Wendy, "Wendy you have a talent. I have never seen anyone from under the nose of someone like Nabiki at such a young age. Even I wasn't as good at your age."
Stan nodded, firmly believing this while everyone else stared at the man. Ford rubbed his head, feeling like he should have expected this. Wendy herself wasn't sure what to think.
Wendy was surprised by this and smiled softly. This was the first time Stan has ever complemented her before. But then Stan added, "But while you good, you still don't have what it takes to be great. But I'm not one to waste talent so I'm going to help you become great."
Wendy and Nabiki stared at him, "You serious?"
"I'm serious!" Stan said, "you and Nabiki have way too much talent to waste and I don't want to leave you alone."
Stan hummed while rubbing his chin. Glancing at Wendy he was about to say something before Ford decided to nip this one in the bud. "Don't even think about it."
"You don't even know what I was thinking."
"Everyone here knows what you are thinking."
Stan raised his hands in surrender but mentally decided to see where this goes before he made any plans.
"Well then…okay I guess," Wendy said with a shrug.
Nabiki stared before she shook her head, the ghost of a smile on her face.
Pacifica sighed in content lying on towel on the beach glancing out onto the waves. She was having the most fun she had in a long time. They mostly stayed by the beach but took her to several of the stand to try some of the food; she was a fan of the pineapple smoothies now, and then over to a surf shack. The owner seems to know Dipper and because this was her first time in Hawaii was allowed to rent something for free. She wasn't confident enough to try surfing with a board but she did have fun with Dipper (after he changed into a swimsuit first) using boogie boards and rode them in the shallows. After that the pair took a swim in the ocean, Pacifica still amazed by the crystal clear waters. Now the pair were simply lying on their towels, relaxing and soaking in the sun's rays. "That was so much fun."
"Glad you've been enjoying yourself," Dipper said.
Pacifica pouts, knowing she would love to have such a fun time like that, even more if Dipper and Mabel were there. Or perhaps just Dipper.
Pacifica smiled looking out to the ocean, before she said, "My family is rich; I mean we are the richest family in town."
Dipper nodded, "I figured with how big and how fancy your room looked."
Pacifica went on slowly, "The thing is…even so we rarely leave Gravity Falls. The Northwest family has millions to its name, but other then a few people, we're not as well known. We do throw this major party each year and many ambassadors, celebrities and other rich families. Yet even so I've never been to anywhere outside of the state. Hell I'm not sure my parents have been to many places. Never to a place like this."
"The thing about places like this," Dipper said, "Its more amazing to you and maybe me but to the people that live here; it's simply home. Remember Lilo?"
It took a moment for Pacifica to remember, "Oh yeah, she sang in the contest at the party with that weird blue dog."
Dipper nodded, "this is her hometown. She lived here her entire life. And yet she is amazed at other places in the states. She was amazed when she first came to Gravity Falls with the thick spooky forest. So take pride that someone can be amazed and in we with your hometown."
The kids that lived in Gravity Falls was surprised to hear this and they did feel a bit of pride. Even Wendy felt something since all she ever knew was tourist visiting the Shack and not a lot of them Wendy would be impressed by.
Pacifica stared, surprised at this bit of info. But hearing it, she felt better knowing that someone can find her home something special too. She softly laughed, unable to help herself, finding it too amusing. Dipper joined in the laughter, unable to help himself as well. They laughed for a few minutes before they stopped and catch their breath. Pacifica glanced at Dipper before she smirked and grabbed a bottle of sun screen "Hey Dipper, care to help me with my back?"
Dipper was surprised but smiled and held his hand out, "sure."
Pacifica handed him the bottle before she flipped onto her stomach. Then, much to Dipper's surprise she reached up and untied her bikini top. She laid on her front with the top's strings held to the side showing the side of her slightly squashed breast but keep her still modest. Dipper stared and Pacifica smirked seeing this. It took a minute for Dipper to shake and clear his head before he rubbed some lotion on his hands. "So bold."
Both Pacifica and Dipper blushed a deep red seeing this. Mabel and her friends were gapping before they rapidly whispered to each other at what they were doing. Wendy let out a whistle, stunned at the display but she had to hand it to the older Pacifica; it was a bold move and she was slightly jealous. Soos just covered his eyes, feeling a bit too much from an older version of someone he knew.
Ford and Stan glanced at each other. While feeling a bit creepy that they were seeing this (even if nothing could be scene), and more that it was happening to a version of their great nephew, they were slightly impressed with Dipper. This one had a lot more game then they did when they were that age.
Pacifica couldn't believe her girl was doing that to Dipper. She felt she could die of embarrassment if she even did something like that. Though seeing the blush on Dipper's face she wondering if it was worth it. 'Maybe when I'm older…and get a better figure.'
Dipper was matching Pacifica's blush as he watched the scene. He didn't expect to see something like this to a version of himself and even more with someone he knew. Still he wasn't going to admit it to anyone but he found the scene to be kinda hot.
Pacifica giggled amused but sighed when he started to rub the sunscreen onto her back, "Don't be too hopeful. This is all you're getting."
"And a tease," Dipper added with a grin. "Maybe I'll get lucky next time."
The girl smirked before she thought about what he said. Next time, as if he planned to do this more often. She remembered this was a contract deal even if she was enjoying herself so much. Unable to help it she asked Dipper, "So how will I repay you for all of this? Will I be able to make more wishes after this?"
"Well, yeah you can make more wishes. Just take the fliers I give you and you can summon me or Mabel, or anyone in either of our peerages." Dipper said as he continued to lotion the blonde's back with sunscreen. "As for payment, that depends on how you want to pay."
"How I want to pay? Explain." Pacifica demanded, but moaned a bit as Dipper massaged the sunscreen into her. She had to admit that he was really good with his hands.
Once again the blushes got even deeper, while the others either smirked or looked away. Wendy held a small smirk and decided to wait until this was over before she went and tease the two of them.
"Well, different wishes have different costs, kind of like purchasing goods or services. This isn't a necessarily small wish, but you could pay in cash, since Devils need spending money too, or with something valuable and precious to you. I'll also take favors for later, but sometimes, rarely though, we can get contracts that require a lifetime of servitude, similar to the Faustian pacts where you sell your soul for something. The last one usually involves becoming a devil to save your life or someone precious to you." Dipper explained and Pacifica completely understood it. The larger or more fantastic the wish, the more expensive or costly it is to pay for it. She then pondered what would be worth this trip to Hawaii? She had plenty of money that she could give Dipper, but that might be too suspicious. Her parents would notice if a relatively large sum of money was transferred to someone else, and she wasn't allowed to access her family's money directly, only through a credit card. She then considered what she could have that was precious to her, but didn't think she had anything beyond something more adult that could work, she wasn't going to budge on the teasing, especially if it was a first date. Now she thought of it was a date and got very self-conscious of herself.
"How about a favor? I will even hand-write that I owe you a favor of any choice." Pacifica said, turning her head to look at Dipper, and he looked back.
"A favor is a very expensive thing, you sure you wouldn't just throw some money at me?" Dipper asked as Pacifica just looked at him.
"I might have money but my parents aren't idiots, they would notice a bunch of money missing or transferred to a different account. After that it will be harder to ever do anything, and I doubt coming here is cheap even if it was seconds for you to do it. I really don't have anything of personal value. So owing you a favor is pretty much the best option."
Dipper found the argument sound enough but felt he still needed to make sure. "You know that leaves it in my more often then not. I could turn that favor into something big."
"I'll take the risk," Pacifica said with a bit of a moan as Dipper rubbed the screen into the sides of her ribs. She let out a small gasp when Dipper actually rubbed the sides of her breast without grabbing or doing anything else with them. It was only the fact his hands felt good and she was enjoying herself did she not reach up and slap him. "And I thought I was being bold."
"You haven't hit me yet," Dipper pointed out with a grin, "plus I got a hot girl all but topless beneath me; how could I not?"
"Again you're lucky you're cute," Pacific pointed out as she laid there, eyes closed enjoying the feeling.
"Are we flirting?" Pacifica finally asked with her blush even deeper, not sure if that even could count as flirting.
"I don't know," Dipper answered with a matching face. "But I think so."
As they both tried to wrap their heads around what they are seeing, the rest had their own thoughts. Mabel, Candy and Grenda were struggling to keep their squeals from coming out, not wanting to ruin the scene as they found it so cute to them. Wendy found the whole thing amusing and even planned on teasing the two when the time was right.
Stan and Ford kept silent, but both having a bit of respect to Dipper as he had way more luck with the ladies then they did when they were the same age.
Later that night Mabel could be found in the room the Pines/Sitri twins shared, in the middle of writing a letter to her mother about the new friends she made and how she thinks they would be amazing member to her peerage. She stopped when she saw their family seal appear in the middle of their floor and Dipper rose from it. Mabel beamed "hey bro-bro, you've be gone a while. Who was the new contract for, what did they make you do and more importantly was it fun?"
"All important questions," Mabel agreed, getting nods from Grenda and Candy.
"So true dog," Soos said, finally uncovering his eyes since it was safe now.
Dipper rolled his eyes at the last question but didn't pay too much mind to it.
"Actually it was Pacifica Northwest," Dipper explained, "The girl you we met at the party. She wanted to some somewhere amazing so I took her to Hawaii. And yeah it was fun."
Mabel pouts, "Aww, why didn't you invite me? I would love to hang with Pacifica and be her friend but also get to see my girl Lilo."
Dipper rolled his eyes, "Mabel it was a surprised moment and her first contract. She's going to do more so you will get plenty of moments to hang with her."
Mabel beamed at the idea of meeting and making contracts with a new friend before she changed the topic "So what was the reward this time?"
"She couldn't give any money so we agreed that she would owe me a favor."
"Lucky," Mabel pouts, "I never get contracts with favors."
Mable pouts, not liking how her counterpart wasn't getting favors like Dipper was, "why not?"
"Mabel, you have several contracts throughout town" Dipper pointed out, "Heck the last contract you did was yesterday and that was making a ton of cat sweaters for an old lady. You were excited when she gave you all that yard for more sweaters."
Mable blinked before she said, "okay that makes more sense."
"That was the best," Mabel agreed before she said firmly "But I want the next contract with her."
"I'm sure you'll get a chance to make a contract with Pacifica." Dipper said as he then thought of something, "Have you seen Gruncle Stan?"
"What are you up too?" Ford asked his brother.
"First why are you asking me?" Stan countered with a huff. "And second why do you even think my guy is doing anything.
As if the universe was determined to prove him wrong the scene changed to a scene that cause Stan's smirk to drop.
"Alright, the trick to this kind of lock is being careful in what you do. It's simple enough right?" Stan asked as he finished explaining the finer points of lock picking to both Wendy and Nabiki. Nabiki because she already had talent and kind of reminded him of himself, except not being a hot girl or already having a money-making scheme involving photographs. Wendy was because she had talent, so yeah he thought of taking a couple of apprentices.
Stan frowns when he noticed the smug look on Ford's face. "…shut up."
"Alright, so let's do this." Wendy stated as she started to pick the practice lock.
"Remember to take it slow," Stan advise, "if you go too fast and you risk breaking the pick and getting it stuck in there."
Wendy kept focus as she moved her pick. After a few minutes she heard the click when she turned the pick and the lock opened up, "Sweet!"
Wendy raised a brow and started to pay a bit closer attention to the screen. Stan noticed this and made another mental note.
"Nice work," Stan said doing a quick check of his watch. While he told her not to go too fast he didn't tell her that taking too much time would be just as bad. Even without it she still managed to get it done at a reasonable time. "And that was the simple pick. With a different set you can work on more parts of the lock at once."
"Plus dad sometimes forgets his keys, so I had to pick up on it." Wendy added.
Nabiki finished her lock in a reasonable time as well before she placed them down. "Well that should come in handy."
"What's next Mr. Pines?" Wendy asked excited.
"You are really getting into this Wendy," Soos said noticing Wendy's posture almost matched her counterpart's.
Wendy played it cool and shrugged, "it seems interesting, that's all."
"You can steal items off of shelves," Stan listed off, "and you can pick an item out of a mass amount of them without anyone knowing. Now you've learned to pick locks, but it's time to master the basics; pick pocketing."
The girls glanced at each other "Pick pocketing?" Wendy asked with a chuckle. "I think we are able to pick pocket someone."
Wendy scoff, seeing that as a step down from the other stuff.
Stan chuckled walking over to them, "Anyone can pick pocket a sucker. A real master can pick pocket anyone," he got between the two, as he lectured and wrapped his arms around their shoulders, "Even if they are expecting it."
He releases them and walked forward. Wendy realizes what happen and did a quick pat but found her wallet was still there. "Still got my wallet Mr. Pines" Wendy said in a victory smirk.
"Ha!" Wendy called out, jabbing a finger towards Stan.
The conman however held his finger up, waiting with a smirk on his face. "Wait for it."
Stan smirked at her over his shoulder and held his right hand up, a wad of cash between his index and middle finger, "Yeah but no money."
Wendy stared in disbelief and she wasn't the only one. Only Stan laughed as he expected that. "There it is."
"How?" Pacifica asked, not sure if she really saw what she thought she saw.
Stan just chuckled, wanting to let them think about what his counterpart did. Wendy finally pouts and crosses her arms, now wanting to know if Stan could teach her to do that.
He laughed at their stunned faces before he held a photo in his left hand, "And I swiped this picture from Nabiki," he glanced at it and was confused, "Why do you have a picture of Dipper in what looks like a hot spring?"
"What!?" Dipper called out, blushing red at the idea of a picture of him in a hot spring existed.
Pacifica stared ahead; eyes glazed over as she could only imagine what was on that photo.
"Give me that!" Nabiki shouted, grabbing the picture back. She scowled at Stan while Wendy tried to take a peek at the picture.
Stan wasn't sure if he should be proud or worried.
Ford and Stan also shared a look, feeling the same.
Mabel was all smiles with the new contract she was making. This time she was the one working with Pacifica a few days after the one she made with Dipper. Pacifica had a simpler wish this time, as she wanted a day with a friend and to just be treated like a normal girl. Mabel was all for it as she had listed many different things she can do with Pacifica. In the end Pacifica chose something she knew how to do and be able to enjoy herself even as a regular kid. "Nothing beats hitting the fake green with mini golf."
This snapped Pacifica out of it before she glanced at Mabel. Mabel shared the look as they both remembered their late night mini-golf match they had, both playing for pride. They also remembered how that match ended. Unknowingly both girls decided that they should have another match, this time between friends and playing for fun.
"Happy we found something easy that we both love." Pacifica said as she putts her ball over the drawbridge and made it into the hole. "Usually when I play I have to focus on winning due to how my parents always remind me not to lose. But without them I'm having more fun than I expected. I don't know what's different. They rarely ever stay to see me play or perform anything so it's not that."
"It's because we're just having fun!" Mabel explained simply as if it was obvious.
Pacifica hummed slightly, wondering if she could feel that when she plays with Mabel again.
She took her turn and shot the ball over the drawbridge and into the hole like Pacifica did.
"Wow, you're not half bad," Pacifica said smiling.
Mabel shrugged, "I'm a little rusty but I always beaten Dipper and a few other of my friends in mini golf."
"Maybe if you shake more of that rust off we can have another match," Pacifica offered, "But this time as rival competing."
Again the girls shared a look, with Mabel offering a playful smile which Pacifica returned.
"Sweet," Mabel agreed, "I never really had a rival to face. Rias, Dipper and Sona are so much smarter than me and always beat me at chess and a few other games."
"I bet we can putt circles around them," Pacifica offered causing the two girls to laugh as they walked to the next hole.
"Yeah, since Sona, Rias, and Dipper are all eggheads." Mabel added, as Pacifica didn't really know that much about the ones performing the contracts for her.
"I wonder who those two are?" Candy asked hearing the two new names.
"Maybe we will see them if Bro-bro and I know them," Mabel suggested recalling what her counterpart just said.
"I know you mentioned them, but are this Rias and Sona devils like you?" Pacifica asked as Mabel went first; they were drawing closer to the windmill as they played. The good news was no one was ahead of them and no one behind them due to it being night.
"Yeah. They're devils, and we're pretty close. Sona's my mom's little sister, but the two are so different it's like comparing me and Dipper." Mabel once again nailed the shot before letting Pacifica get her shot lined up. "Rias I've known since we were kids, and she is awesome."
"Well that explains its then," Dipper said writing down the two new devils and their connection to their counterparts.
"So if your devil mom is a lot like Mabel, does that mean Sona is like Dipper?" Grenda asked.
"Based on what Mabel has said so far most likely," Ford said, a bit pleased to hear more levelheaded people in their extended multiverse family. Don't get him wrong he loves Mabel and even with his issues with Stan, he still loved and cared about him. That being said he knew their antics can be a little much at times.
"Huh, so who would be who?" Pacifica asked as she made her shot, and while the ball was heading for the hole Mabel answered with no problem.
"Sona's like Dipper, more into the whole, 'let's solve a mystery', puzzle games, and chess. Mom is like me, sweet un-trollable, and basically perfection, but better."
"Well right on the money," Stan said with a chuckle. While Sona wasn't part of the family technically, it didn't stop him can listening and imagining her with the twins.
Mabel saw Pacifica's ball also go in, keeping the two pretty tied throughout the game. "Damn, how did you get so good?"
"I've had a trainer, Sergei, who won the gold at the Olympics during the only time they had mini-golf, and I've practiced for like, a million hours. You don't get to be globally ranked from being lazy, even if you're talented." Pacifica smiled as she got her hot pink ball as the two went on to the next hole.
Mable smiled up the hill to the windmill. "Awe the majestic windmill. A simple but honorable part of any mini-golf course."
Mabel, Dipper and Pacifica grimaced, recalling how much trouble for them that happened with that hole. Dipper couldn't help but wondering if they will discovering the Lilliputtians since Mabel and Pacifica in that world aren't fighting like they were in this one.
"This is the last hole," Pacifica said setting her ball up, "Besides the bonus hole."
"Then we'll just have to make these shots count," Mabel said with a grin.
Pacifica lined her shot up before she putts the ball. It rolled up the hill, pass the windmill blades and into the hole of the windmill itself. They quickly check the other side where three possible holes for the ball to come out with only one heading right for the hole. They waited until Pacifica's pink ball came rolling out of the middle hole and rolled down the hill to become a hole-in-one. "Nice shot!" Mabel said while Pacifica pumped her fist. "My turn!"
Pacifica couldn't be pleased with her counterpart, knowing what might have happen.
Mabel ran around and placed her blue ball down. She lined up her shot, wiggled her hips slightly and putts the ball. It rolled up the hill and like Pacifica's ball missed the blades and went into the windmill. Mabel ran around and waited for her ball next to Pacifica. They didn't have to wait long as Mabel's blue ball came out but it was one of the side holes and thus missed the hole-in-one. "What!?" Mabel cried with a scowl, "The hell!?"
"Unlucky break," Pacifica admitted.
Mabel tabbed her ball into the hole before she glared up at the windmill. Now she wasn't a sore loser, (not even when Rias, Dipper and Sona beat her so many times in a row at games) but she felt that she was cheated, "Stupid windmill. That was a perfect shot! Why did it make the ball go in a different hole?"
"After it enters its all base on luck," Pacifica explained.
"Yes, luck is the remaining factor when it comes to holes like this," Candy observed.
Ford however frowned, thinking of a few theories that could make sense. He wondered if he could sneak into the golf course at night and investigate once the issue with Bill was over.
"Not exactly," Mabel started with a wince. "And I think we might see it things go like I think they will."
"How does it even work?" Mabel asked.
Pacifica opens her mouth but pauses, "actually, I have no idea."
Mabel looked at the display before she heard something. It sounds like tiny voices, pounding and maybe machines. Mabel raised a brow and glanced at Pacifica, who looked just as confused. Mabel ran her hands on a wooden panel before finding a grove and it moved slightly. With a grip on it she removed the paneling. Both girls looked inside and were amazed. It was a tiny village that looked like an old fashion Dutch village and the tiny people had colorful golf balls for heads with hair and dressed like stereotype Dutchmen. The girls stared and gapped before the tiny people noticed them and screamed.
Everyone but Mabel, Dipper and Pacifica gapped at the scene. Pacifica wasn't shocked since she figured out where the little golf men came from but instead glared in annoyance. Ford stared before he adjusted his glasses, "what are those creatures?"
"Lilliputtians," Dipper explained to his great uncle. "I actually have an entry about them in the journal."
Ford hummed and rubbed his chin. "I haven't finished reading the new entries you have made yet. But I'm sure it will be some interesting things in that entry."
"Stupid golf people," Pacifica muttered crossing her arms. Yeah, she won't be forgiving nor forgetting them any time soon.
Mabel quickly slammed the panel back into place and it muffled the screams. Mabel glanced at a stunned Pacifica before she asked, "So…. care to go get something to eat and forget we saw anything?"
"Agreed," Pacifica muttered before they picked up their clubs and left.
"If only," Mabel and Dipper muttered as one, regretting the deal they made with the creatures. At least they won't be seeing that happening here it seems.
The girls sat in an ice cream parlor in Gravity Falls that Mabel has done a few request for (mostly trying new experimental flavors and help advertising) and got them some sundaes to relax. The pair was alone as the owner allowed them some privacy as they tried to get their heads wrapped around what they saw as it was hard to forget. Finally, Pacifica asked, "Have you ever seen anything like that before?"
"I don't think anyone has," Dipper answered even if the question wasn't addressed to him.
Ford thought it over, wondering if he did see something like the Lilliputtians during his travels. He was sure there was dimensions with them somewhere but he figured he missed them.
"Nope," Mabel said taking a big bite of her sundae, "I've seen some crazy monsters both here and back home. Some even the crazy made up monsters created for my mom's show but never have I seen little golf people. You can't make that shit up. I'm ashamed that I lack the talent to make that shit up."
"I agree with myself a thousand percent!" Mabel called out loudly.
"They are pretty freaky," Wendy agreed.
Pacifica nodded seeing as she could never be able to make something like that up. However, something Mabel said got her attention, "Wait your mother has a show?"
Mabel nodded, "Yeah it's one of the most popular shows in the Underworld. I've even appeared on it a few times. Those are always fun. If Dipper would stop being so stubborn he would be on it too, and see how fun it is." She then leans over to whisper to Pacifica, "Don't tell Dipper but mom is thinking of getting him his own show when he stops being a dummy dumb."
Dipper felt a shiver go down his spine. Whatever it was he felt a great amount of pity for his counterpart.
This surprised Pacifica before she asked, "Do you think I could see it sometime?"
Mabel blinked surprised by this. None of her friends have really asked about seeing her mom's show before and she didn't know why. Unknown to her Dipper had warned them about the show and the Underworld's view of censorship or lack of them. Mabel then got an idea, "I have a better idea. Why don't Dipper and I take you to see how the show is made? Get to see it live and everything!"
Pacifica blinked as she never saw any kind of production for either a movie or television show before, only the end results. She wondered how everything was done but never thought of finding out for herself.
"That sounds interesting. So, let's try to think of a way to get Dipper to come with us." Pacifica said as the two would have fun.
Dipper grimaced, starting to understand what he was feeling before.
"How did I get roped into this again?" Dipper asked as he watched as various devils were getting things ready for the episode of that day. While Yuzu did manage to get Underworld TV shows, but the others were actually going to heed Dipper's warning. It wasn't that the show was bad per say, as Magical Levia-tan was actually pretty well written, in a Sailor Moon kind of way, but the main problem was that the monsters tended to strip the girls. Devils may have had a looser sense of morals, but that was still his mother getting stripped on camera.
"Wait…What!?" Dipper shouts, going wide eyed.
Mabel waved him off, "I doubt they would actually do that on tv."
"It's a show made for and by devils," Dipper reminded her. "And from what we heard that is something that can happen."
"Who would work on a show like that?" Pacifica asked, not liking the idea of being stripped naked on a show.
"Because it's fun!" Mabel said, as she and Pacifica stood next to Dipper, "And it's the favor I called in from Pacifica so we can see mom at work."
"Mabel Sitri, please report to make up." Came a voice on the PA system as Mabel had to get ready to get the stage make up and her costume as Chibi-Levia.
"This actually looks very professional, and I should know. I was Miss Gravity Falls." Pacifica stated as she saw various people, as it was easy to forget that they were devils.
"Yeah, but right now I think I'd rather hang out with Gruncle Stan." Dipper then had a very good question, "I wonder what is he doing now?"
Stan gave a playful huff, "Oh sure now you want to hang out with me."
"Better than being there I'm sure," Dipper replied in the same tone. Ford had a small smile, happy to see his family members able to get along so well.
"Careful, careful." Nabiki said as she and Wendy were given a more intense exercise in thievery and other forms of crime. This time they had to steal a fake gemstone from a simulated heist scenario. How the man had the money to create the recreation, no matter how cheap he did it, was a mystery to them.
Wendy blinked at this before glancing at her boss. Stan noticed the look and just answered with a smirk. Wendy felt conflicted now and wasn't sure how to feel about that.
"I got it. Just keep your panties on." Wendy said as Nabiki continued to lower her towards the prize, and Wendy was doing her best to avoid the wires in Mission Impossible style.
"I could just drop you, so less talky and more stealy." Nabiki retorted as she let the rope slack a bit before holding it tight. "This would be a lot easier with magic."
That was the main rule: they couldn't use magic or any devil powers to steal the fake gemstone. They had to do it all manually.
Stan rolled his eyes, "well duh. You can't just use magic for this. You gotta have your own skills first then magic."
Ford gave him a deadpan look, "I would be impressed with the advice if it wasn't about stealing."
Wendy steadied herself reaching out for the fake gem, careful not to touch the wires. She manages to get her fingers around it and pulled the gem off the stand without tripping a wire. "Got it!"
The lights suddenly turned on revealing Stan watching them the whole time. "Girls, I am impressed."
"So am I," Stan admitted with a grin.
"Stanly no," Ford objected at one.
Stan was stunned by the accusation. "I wasn't doing anything yet!"
"Yet is the keyword," Ford countered. "And you were clearly planning something."
"Lies and slander!"
"Thanks Mr. Pines" Wendy said truthfully as she was set down by Nabiki.
"I must admit those are very useful skills to have," Nabiki said as she flew down from her position with her devil wings. "And I can use this with my own money-making schemes."
Wendy was actually excited after all of this, "man I am so pumped. Make me want to use this stuff for real."
Stan raised a brow, "With what?"
Nabiki already had an idea and held up a newspaper and on the front page showed a large diamond on display with the captions, 'Pink Panther Diamond on Display at Gravity Falls Museum'. "I think I have an idea."
"Wasn't there a real diamond like that here?" Soos asked.
"I think there was for a few weeks," Pacifica as she recalled seeing the diamond on display at the museum.
Stan looked between the two girl, from the grinning and excited Wendy to the smirking and confident Nabiki, "you want to go to the museum, get that diamond and probably pull the biggest heist this town as ever seen?" he asked in a stern and serious tone. The girls were taken aback before Stan laughed and beamed at them, "I love you girls! Let's do it!"
The girls beamed and were excited about the heist that night.
'I am so proud,' Stan thought to himself, a large grin on his face.
Pacifica was stunned as the show was being filmed. It was like a normal anime style magical girl, but live action. She saw that the star Serafall, which Pacifica found amazed how young the twins' mother looks, did her own stunts and the magic was 'real' and not special effects. She found the magic was simple harmless and just made sparks and lights to which the actors seem like they were attacked. But what stunned her the most was the scene that just happened. Serafall's character and Mabel's character was facing one of the show's led protagonist, a sexy demon lady in dark knight like armor with a shield and sword, landed an attack that cause Serafall's shirt to rip apart, leaving her topless.
"Whoa!" Dipper called out as he and Soos covered their eyes. They were ready with what they heard so far and expected this. And while Dipper was a healthy growing boy with an interest in the female body, he didn't want to look at the near naked body of someone who was his mother even if it was only for his counterpart.
"Ummm," Mabel tried to say as she was also taken aback like everyone else. "So I might have been wrong here."
"You got to admire the guts Serafall has," Wendy eyeing the mature devil. "Not many has the stones to preform naked for a tv show, well a normal tv show."
"I am suddenly concerned for Mabel here," Stan muttered with a grimace.
Ford mirrored his brother, "with how much she loves her mother's show and is a part of it I would have to agree."
"Should we stop this?" Stan asked him.
Ford thought for a moment, "if it shows Mabel in the same state as her mother we can."
Pacifica expected the director to shout, 'Cut!' but the scene went on and Serafall kept her role. She glanced to her side when she heard Dipper sigh. "Why didn't the director stop the scene? Her shirt was ripped so they should start the scene again right?"
"It wasn't a mistake," Dipper explained, "The scene went how it was supposed to."
Pacifica was confused, "Your mother was supposed to be stripped?"
"Devils have a different set of morals then humans," Dipper explained rubbing the bridge of his nose when Mabel was knocked back and had her shirt ripped but she had a bra on still, before summoning a human sized hamster ball to bowel at the enemy.
Mabel gasped but not for the what people thought. "She has the human-size hamster ball? That's so cool."
"That's what you are focusing on?" Pacifica asked her. "What about losing your shirt?"
Mabel shrugged, "I'm still covered so it's good."
"By just your bra!" Pacifica countered.
"Please stop talking about it," Dipper said still covering his eyes. He wasn't going to take any chances here.
"Underworld censorship isn't as strict in certain things, so things like getting stripped is something that can work as long as it's story based."
"I can see," Pacifica said understanding. She glanced to one table off to the side behinds the crew where a bunch of snacks and drinks were spread out "How about I get us a drink?"
"Thank you," Dipper muttered, "Just water please."
Pacifica made her way over to the table, not noticing she had the attention of someone else, someone that was waiting for the right moment.
The figure was just some nobody looking for a quick buck. He thought he could get something worthwhile on Serafall for a quick sell, but no one would buy it for fear of the water-manipulating usually freezing Satan, so instead he decided to play gopher on the show. That was when he noticed her, the blonde human that was there. She was certainly attractive, and the way she was stumbling to fulfill the task of getting something simple showed that she was not used to doing any sort of work herself.
'You know, I'd make a lot of money off her! I heard that there's some boob looking for a blonde sex slave.' The devil thought, and he looked like a ruffian as he made his way closer to the girl.
Everyone stiffens at this. Most of them feared for Pacifica's safety, while the others were angry. Ford and Stan were clenching their fist with their minds going for either their hidden ray gun or bronze knuckles, but they knew it wouldn't do anything. Wendy fingers were dancing on the arms of her seat, itching to grab her ax.
Pacifica herself gulp as she tried to calm her nerves. She hoped that she didn't have to see anything bad happen to her counterpart. She felt someone grab each of her hands and she looked down to see Dipper and Mabel holding her hands on either side of her. She wrapped her fingers around theirs as it helped her nerves a little.
"Where is the water?" Pacifica said to herself as she was looking for the water. She wasn't used to fetching anything, and wondered how people, especially devils, functioned without lesser people to do things for her. She had all kinds of butlers, including cake butlers, which would cater to her every whim. She didn't notice the man that was slinking his way towards her.
Normally Pacifica would have blushed at being caught being unable to do something simple. But with the 'real' danger her counterpart was in drove it from her mind.
"Hey, can I help you?" The man said, and immediately Pacifica felt like she couldn't trust him.
"I'm just getting a water for my friend," Pacifica said simply just to get rid of him. "I'm fine on my own."
"Oh really?" the man asked, "You sure you don't need my help?"
Pacifica turned and glared at him with her hands on her hips, "and what makes you think I even need help?"
"Well for one the water is just two feet to your left." The man explained.
Pacifica blinked and dropped the glare. She glanced over to the side and sure enough there was water, inside plastic bottle she has never seen before. "Oh…. I knew that."
"Sure you did," The man said still giving what he thought was a charming smile. "I understand though. You're here because you're a big fan of the show and manage to get a backstage viewing. Tell you what, the next scene will be with several extras posing as civilians. I can help sneak you in to be part of the crowd. It would be something to brag about and you would get your five minutes of fame."
Pacifica scowled and crossed her arms, "I'm not going anywhere with you."
"Smart girl," Stan muttered, forgoing his usual attitude of not giving a Northwest any positive comments. This however was a different issue all together.
The man groaned, wishing he actually knew a spell to make her fall asleep or fool her. But he didn't so he had to go with plan B. "You just had to take the hard way huh kid?"
Dipper sighed, finally glad it was over when the director called to end the scene now that the actor playing the villain escaped. Serafall turned to Mabel, both beaming and were about to congratulate each other when a girl's scream got their attention. Dipper blinked before someone ran passed him with a girl over his shoulder. He saw the girl was in fact Pacifica, hitting the back of her kidnapper while shouting, "Let go of me! Put me down or I will sue you to your name is nothing but dust!"
"Don't just stand there!" Pacifica called out in horror. "Save her!"
"Pacifica!" Dipper shouted as the man actually ran passed his mother and sister and heading to different set. Dipper didn't have time to think as he ran after the man. Mabel gasped as well and followed Dipper. Serafall was surprised something was actually stupid enough to kidnap someone while she was right there. She glanced at the gapping crew and noticed the camera light was blinking and still rolling. An idea formed in her mind and she quickly rolled her finger out of the view of the camera, signaling the director to keep rolling. The director but started giving orders to have more cameras up and rolling to get the action.
"What is she up too?" Wendy asked, still slightly worried but if someone as Powerful as Serafall knew about it then she could easily stop the kidnapping without an issue.
Dipper and Mabel slid to a stop on a set of a city block. They looked around trying to find Pacifica. "Oh man, oh man, oh man" Dipper moaned looking around, "We got to find her."
"Don't worry we'll find her," Mabel assured him, "He can't have gone far."
Dipper was beginning to panic before he saw his mother running towards him. Mabel noticed as well and shouted, "Levia-tan! We need help!"
"Mabel Focus!" Dipper shouts to his twin.
"But their mom can help them!" Mabel tried to defend her counterpart.
Dipper was about to shout again but stopped and averted his eyes when a still topless Serafall appeared on the screen.
Serafall stopped before Dipper with a serious look on her face Dipper was taken aback by this and even more so when Serafall said, "Do you wish to save her?"
"Yes!" Dipper said at once, "We need help!"
"As you are you won't be able to help her," Serafall said in the same serious tone.
"What are you talking about," Dipper asked his mother not understanding what she means. "And put a shirt on!"
"Please and thank you!" Dipper called out not wanting to see any version of his mother like that.
Serafall ignored him and reached behind her back and then pulled something out. It was a large device that looked like it could attach to a belt buckle. "Take this. It will give you the power and tools to save your friend."
Dipper looked at his mother and then what she was holding before he frowned at her, "Seriously? We don't have time for your-" he stopped when he heard Pacifica scream again. He quickly grabbed the device and attached it to his belt. "Alright there! Now what?"
Serafall reached out and tapped the device and it glowed. Dipper then suddenly felt armor of some sort appearing on him with a kind of black and blue outfit that felt like armored spandex, a blue belt with the Sitri seal and a parka and a full helmet with the Sitri symbol all around it. "Did you just turn me into a Power Ranger?"
Dipper actually turned his head to look at his counterpart. "Really?"
Wendy was forced to cover her mouth to keep herself from laughing. It was only because it was a serious situation with Pacifica that kept her trying to control herself.
"Actually dude," Soos started, taking a quick peek to check the Dipper's uniform before covering back up inside Serafall appeared again. "Based on the look I would say he is closer to…"
"Not important right now!" Pacifica shouts unable to believe that this was distracting her counterpart's rescue.
However, Pacifica's scream got his attention again and he quickly ran towards the scream. "Pacific! Hold on!"
Mabel was going to follow when she noticed the camera crew filming the whole talk and then some following her brother. She glanced at her mother and she smirked at her. Mabel matched that smirk, "This is a good idea."
Pacifica's eye twitched hearing this. "Mabel…if something happens to my girl…I'm blaming you."
"That fair," Mabel agreed since she felt Pacifica should be save now that their counterpart's mother is getting involved.
"And maybe he'll stop being a butt and show up on the show more often. We really need more family time." Serafall said as she watched Dipper in the battle outfit as he rushed to catch up with the crook. It didn't take him long before he managed to catch up and get Pacifica away from him, although…
"Let me go you freak!" Pacifica demanded as she was not happy at being kidnapped for who knows what, and unleashed what she could on her newest abductor.
"Pacifica it's me!" Dipper said as she stopped before smacking the costumed person once more, "Mom got me to wear for some reason."
Pacifica let out a breath of relief seeing her counterpart was in Dipper's arms. She wasn't the only one as everyone else relaxed more now that Pacifica was safe even if the devil that kidnapped her wasn't stopped yet. Realizing what her counterpart was doing she said to him, "Sorry for that."
Dipper waved her off, "its understandable from her point of view."
"You had to get in my way kid! Do you know how much a human girl like that is worth to some big shot!?" The devil said as he threw some fire at Dipper, but he managed to dodge it while keeping Pacifica safe.
'Man, I now I really wish I was with Stan and Wendy right now!' He thought, still thinking that whatever they were doing was most likely better than this.
Wendy blinked seeing that scene changing back to her counterpart, Nabiki and Stan. "I know Old man Ford built the mini-portal that changing views and McGucket had the camera set up like one of those soap operas but is it really okay to stop watching that scene?"
"Honestly?" Pacifica asked, rubbing her forehead. "I think I need a break from that. Before it got too much. I know my girl is safe for now so I can handle watching you guys do…whatever it is you are doing."
"I have to agree," Ford added, feeling more at ease. "A chance to breathe and get our bearings."
Wendy, Nabiki, and Stan were ready to make the heist. They each had a role, based on the time frame of their tests, which had Wendy and Nabiki being fast with Stan doing the heavy lifting.
"Alright, we get in, get the jewel, swap it with this fake, and get out. You know the plan right?" Stan asked as the two girls nodded. Stan was wearing some tight-fitting clothes that wouldn't get in the way, but Wendy and Nabiki were practically skintight to the point that it almost looked sprayed on, even if they had pouches for gadgets.
Dipper blushed seeing what Wendy's counterpart was wearing. Wendy however laughed and cheered, "Woo! Work it girl!"
"We got this Mr. Pines," Wendy said with a large grin on her face.
Stan gave them a look, "Remember we'll do this the old fashion way. Devil magic might be useful but most of them are flashy and will attract attention."
"Got it," Nabiki said after double-checking her supplies, "let's get going."
The three left the mystery shack and drove in the dead of night. It didn't take them long to reach the museum before Stan parked near one of the exits. They got up and went over to one of the window. Wendy quickly got the window unlocked and they slipped inside. They quietly snuck pass the exhibits easily with the girl's devil eyes and Stan's night vision goggles. When they reached a checkpoint with a camera able to see them if they tried to sneak by, Nabiki used her camera expertise to capture a picture of the exact angle before she hooks it up right in front of the camera. With the camera done they moved to the next room. They could see the large pink diamond on the display in the center of the room. Only two things separated them from their prize; one being the laser alarm field and also a metal bar gate. Stan cracked his knuckles and stepped up to the gate, "I got this."
Ford raised a brow at his brother, "you sure about that?"
"Yeah I don't want to see you pulling something Mr. Pines," Wendy added.
Stan scowled at them both, "I know I'm not the poster boy of fitness but don't count me out yet. Just watch him."
"You sure Mr. Pines?" Wendy could not help but ask.
Stan rolled his eyes, "I'm old not weak. Anyways I just need to lift it enough for you two to slip underneath."
Both girls glanced at one another as Stan grabbed the bottom of the bars. He grits his teeth and struggled as he goes to lift the bars up. He groans at the strain but he manages to lift the bar enough for the two to slip underneath. They didn't need motivation as they slipped underneath and allowed Stan to lower the bars.
Stan shot his doubters a smirk, "Ha!"
Ford however pointed to the screen which Stan did.
The elder man pants slightly and rubbed his back, "Okay maybe I need to get more into shape."
The smirk was now on Ford's face while Stan scowled, "I still lifted the thing, so let's call it a draw."
The two girls moved high above the gem display and got ready. Wendy got the harness attached and Nabiki lowered her down. Wendy smirked remembering the same exercise she did that very day. She was lowered slowly, turning to avoid a laser or two before she stopped with the diamond right in front of her face. She reached into her pouch and pulled out the fake gem they planned to switch it with. Wendy waited, holding herself steady before she used her knight speed (which she has been practicing with) to switch the two diamonds. She waited, hoping she was fast enough but no alarm went off. She grinned and was lifted back up.
"Yes!" Wendy cheered seeing her counterpart succeed.
"You know you're cheering about her stealing right?" Candy asked the older girl.
Wendy shrugged, "I'm not actually stealing it so I have no reason not to cheer my girl on."
A few minutes later Stan lifted the bars up again and the girls came back the other side. He chuckled and lowered the bars, "Nice work girls."
"Thanks Stan," Nabiki said as she looked the diamond over, "This is a wonderful gem."
"Yep, and worth it" Stan added as they exit through the window again. But to their horror they found the sheriff, the deputy and a few more cops, "Freeze!" Sheriff Bubs called out.
"How!?" Stan cried out, not sure how the idiot for a town sheriff manages to catch them so fast.
The three held their hands up in surrender, since they knew it would be more trouble than it was worth to try and fight or use magic. "How did you guys know?" Stan couldn't help but ask.
Bub shook his head, "The night guard saw the open window and panicked. Turns out he was right."
Stan slapped his forehead, feeling like he should have noticed such a rookie mistake. Wendy's counterpart and Nabiki were new at the game so that could be forgiven but a veteran like him? That shouldn't have happened.
The three groaned at the idea of being caught like this. The group was handcuffed and being led to the police cars. Sheriff Blubs shook his head looking at Wendy. "Wendy, Wendy, Wendy. You've done it now. Wait till your father hears about this."
Wendy winced hearing this, feeling a great amount of pity for her counterpart.
Wendy went wide-eyed and look afraid, "No please don't call dad!"
Stan watched this and was conflicted. After a minute he growled and called out, "Hey Blubs! Let them go, it's all my fault."
Everyone was stunned hearing this, Ford the most. Ford glanced at Stan who looked bored, but he could tell that his brother was hiding different emotions in his eyes.
Bubs turned and looked at him "What now?" Everyone was looking at Stan, none of them more surprised than Wendy and Nabiki, who were gapping at him.
"You think these two would rob a museum willingly?" Stan asked, "I threatened to fire Wendy and tricked the other girl. It was all my idea so let them go."
Bubs thought about it for a minute before he shrugs, "Good enough for me."
Stan left out a breath, really letting Ford know something was up.
Wendy and Nabiki were stunned when they were uncuffed. They watched as Stan was put into the back of the cop car before the Sheriff and deputy went back inside the museum to return the diamond and get their picture taken with it. Wendy walked over to Stan and asked him, "Mr. Pines, why did you do that?"
Stan sighed, "You're gifted Wendy, but you're young and still got a live ahead of you. Me? I'm an old con artist taking looking out for his niece and nephew for their devil of a mother. Kids don't end up like me. You both have a life; a long one thanks to being a devil now. Just enjoy it. I'll be back from jail in a few days so tell Soos not to cry and Nabiki's in charge."
No one could say anything as they watched Stan get taken away on screen. Finally, it was broken by the man in question, "He's right you know."
"Huh?" Wendy asked, feeling that was directed at her.
Stan shifted so he was looking directly at Wendy. "Wendy you are a lot of things, lazy at times and stressed out but you are gifted when you actually focus on something. Most importantly you got a long life ahead of you, so do yourself a favor and don't end up a screw up like me."
"Stan…" Ford said softly, stunned to hear his brother talk about himself like that.
His brother didn't take any noticed as he glanced to the rest, "that goes to the rest of you kids; yes even you Northwest. You guys have a lot more potential then I did, just don't waste it."
None of them said anything; what could they say? Stan just sat back to watch the rest of reel. Ford looked down, feeling no small amount of guilt. Despite the issues they have and despite the major fight they had before the portal accident thirty years ago that they really haven't really resolved he stilled cared for his twin brother. He vowed that he would sit down and talk to Stan, to really talk and not start a fight.
Wendy was stunned, as was Nabiki before Blubs came back and drove off with Stan in the back. The two girls decided to go back to the Shack, their minds heavy with what they learned.
"You know, he's a pretty nice guy for a con artist." Wendy asked as Nabiki couldn't help but agree.
"Yeah, but Dipper and Mabel are probably having a better time than us." Nabiki said as they got their picture taken with the diamond, no one noticing that Nabiki had one last trick to at least make a profit on it.
Stan had a small smirk, thinking like he would be proud to have a student like Nabiki.
Dipper was getting annoyed at the fact that he was being cued to do things he didn't really want to do. Now he dragged everything on and the criminal wasn't beaten.
"You're not a bad fighter kid, but I'm not leaving without that girl! Rich girls are worth a fortune when their hot, and that girl's as rich as they come!" The devil said as he decided to throw one big fireball at Dipper, and while Dipper was tempted to summon a katana, or create one from ice, he heard the shout.
"Use the seal keys!" It was his mother as he then noticed that there were some key objects added into the object.
"How did I miss that?" Dipper asked as the guy launched the fireball, but not at him. It was at Pacifica, and Dipper went to defend, but decided to try one of them with the Sitri crest and a shield on it.
Barrier Seal
Pacifica flinched seeing her girl about to be attack but relaxed when she saw Dipper's counterpart manage to protect her again. "I don't know how much I can take."
"Dipper looks like he will finish it soon," Mabel pointed out.
Soos nodded, connecting a few dots to what Serafall was having her son do. Honestly he can say that he approved.
The driver spoke as Dipper then saw another as Mabel shouted, "Use the final key!"
It was glowing so Dipper decided to use it.
Final Seal Unlock: Wake Up!
Magical energy seemed to channel to Dipper's feet as it started glowing blue, and then he preformed a jump kick and landed right on the devil, it didn't do enough to kill him, but it did do enough to knock him out for the authorities to lock him up. The main thing Dipper was embarrassed was the fact that the kick also created the Sitri seal before making an explosion.
"Cut! That's a wrap!" The director said, and everyone discussed the impromptu show and how they could've fleshed things out a bit more.
Pacifica looked annoyed, "I'm happy my girl is finally completely safe but did they have to make my kidnapping into some sort of tv show?"
"They're devils," Wendy reminded her. "While we know Dipper, Mabel and their mom are some of the nice ones; no doubt if they see an opportunity to gain something they would take it."
"If it makes you feel better it seems I am roped into it just like you were," Dipper offer to a pouting Pacifica.
"…only a tiny bit."
"Alright, I already have an idea on what we're going for this, so good job everyone!" Serafall said, and Dipper was glad that he was able to will away the outfit. He tried to return the belt to his mother, but she gave it back, "You should keep it. It'll make a great souvenir, and I think you'll be needing it sooner than you think."
Dipper groaned, knowing his counterpart won't like what she had planned.
Dipper pondered the words, as Mabel was next to Pacifica, "I'm so sorry that things turned out this way I didn't plan on you getting kidnapped."
"It's okay, other than getting kidnapped, it was kind of fun." Pacifica said, but then decided that she should get home, "But could you seriously bring me home before my parents flip."
Pacifica sighed as she knew her girl had a point considering her parents.
"It's almost time Dipper! We've got to watch mom's show!" Mabel forced Dipper to watch Magical Girl Levia-tan every time a new episode aired to see how she did. Dipper generally avoided for mentioned reasons, but he did get to see Wendy and Nabiki in sexy super-spy/thief outfits, and apparently Nabiki managed to sneak in one final trick to steal the Pink Panther Diamond by tagging with a seal when no one was looking.
Stan smirked at the girl's idea while Dipper blushed as he figured his reaction to seeing Wendy dressed like that. Wendy looked amused as she knew what he was thinking about.
"Mabel, can't I just skip it?" Dipper asked as Mabel shook her head viciously.
"No can do bro-bro, you have to watch it this time because it's special." Mabel said and Dipper was forced to watch it, but it was the end that was surprising as it showed an interview with his mother.
Lady Leviathan is here with an announcement on a spin-off of her popular television show Magical Girl Levia-tan, which only gained popularity with the addition of Chibi-Levia.
Serafall: I want to thank all my fans for supporting me in the seasons of Magical Girl Levia-tan, and I want to thank all the supporters of my daughter, Mabel, showing up as Chibi-Levia, but recently an incident has now allowed the creation of a new show I call Kamen Rider Sitri, and the star is Mabel's twin, and my son, Mason Pines Sitri, better known by his nickname, Dipper! I already have an idea on the expansion of the first true episode, and a clip of the incident that will be played as a teaser for the show.
"Dammit, mom!" Dipper said as now he was forced to be a star of a show that he didn't really want to do, but the teaser was already showing support. Either way, he blamed it on the weirdness of Gravity Falls.
Dipper groaned loudly not only for the trick his counterpart's mother played but also for the fact his real name was mentioned for everyone to hear. When he glanced around he saw everyone but Mabel and Stan was looking at him as if to confirm. He took a deep breath before answering the unasked question, "yes…Mason is my real name. I know it's dumb."
"It's a nice name," Pacifica disagreed. "It feels like a formal name I would hear during one of my parents' parties or meetings. I still like Dipper anyways."
"It's cool dude," Wendy assured him while Soos gave the thumbs up. "If you don't want us to use it we can stick with Dipper."
Ford gave him a smirk. "It's a fine name, nothing to be ashamed about. The Masons are a great secret society you know."
Dipper looked from everyone before glancing at Mabel. She gave him a confidant smile which he returned, happy that his friends and family seems to accept his to him, embarrassing secret.
"Hey dudes," Soos said pointing to the screen. "Another code!"
ZH WROG BRX NDPHQ ULGHU VLWUL ZDV FRPLQJ, DQG ULDV DSSURYHV.
Dipper and Ford quickly wrote down the code and just in time too as the screen started to go blanks as the film reel finished. Soos quickly ran to the booth so the reel wouldn't get damage. As he did Mabel bounced in her seat, "oh boy I can't wait to see another one!"
"Can we take a break from that world?" Pacifica asked. "Even if we know my girl is fine I think I don't want to see more for a while."
"Actually we've been here a few hours," Ford said checking his watch, one he adjusted back to Earth's timetables a few days after he got home. "We should probably be done for the night."
Mabel, Candy and Grenda all moaned in disappointment. Wendy stretched and said, "One more can't hurt."
"Please!" Mabel and her friends quickly begged, all having their eyes wide, teary and cute to get their way.
Stan wasn't affected and rolled his eyes. Ford frown and resisted for a moment before he sighed, "well one more can't hurt. But that will be it for tonight; understand?"
The girls cheered, though they shared a look as they planned to try and get more tonight. Stan rolled his eyes but shouted out to his handyman. "Soos! Startup another one. And just one; got it?"
"Right away Mr. Pines!" Soos called back as he reached for another reel of film in the box. What he didn't notice was one of the reels glowed a light blue before it shifted over to fall right when Soos's hand reached inside. The Handyman grabbed the reel and started to prepare the projector.
Well that is something huh? A few nice moments where a certain pair see some chemistry, some others being friends and while a one was in a dangerous situation, manages to come out okay and another gets some embarrassment for it. And Wendy and Stan saw a possible bonding moment. I like that one since that was a B-plot for the show that never made it through and happy to see some form of it come to life and the cast seemed to enjoy it.
But next time, yes we are moving onto a new world. As for which world, I will leave a hint. Something I always wanted to do. Good luck.
