GRIMMFALL: CHIBI
Episode 3
Galra Flagship
"Finally!" Lord Zarkon declared as he stood next to a slab where Carlos was restrained. "My totally not contrived long term strategy was a complete success! The gem of souls is mine!"
Carlos looked down at the gem sticking out of his chest. "…I take it Galra never heard of possession being nine tenths of the law."
"The other tenth is this giant pain inducing claw." Zarkon pointed at a massive surgical machine looming over Carlos, who swallowed.
"Fair point." He squeaked. "Oh man, I'd give anything to be literally anywhere but here."
"Pray all you like, human!" Zarkon cackled and grabbed a big red lever. "For my victory is at-"
Pop!
Carlos vanished from view, literally blinking out of existence. Zarkon gaped at the empty slab while Haggar hovered into view.
"…where did he go?" The witch asked.
Many light years away, Carlos blinked back into existence. "Ah!" He looked around his new surroundings…which appeared to be a back yard birthday party.
"Oh my Glob it worked!" An excited young boy said, dropping a mirror. "I didn't think it would really do it!"
"Do what? How did I get here?" Carlos asked.
"We looked in this mirror and said 'Carlos Hunter' three times." The boy pointed at the dropped mirror.
Carlos sighed. "Not again…who told you that?"
"Some guy with weird spiky red hair and sun glasses."
Carlos shook a fist at the sky. "DAM- I mean DARN YOU KURT! DARN YOUUUUUUU!" He paused and looked at the fourth wall. "Censoring."
Pop! Carlos was gone again.

"Carlos Hunter…Carlos Hunter…" Dipper, Mabel, Zoe and Frida stared intently at the bathroom mirror before Dipper took a breath and spoke. "…Carlos Hunter."
Pop!
Carlos appeared behind them…behind the closed bath tub curtain. "What the- AH!"
SPLASH!
All four kids screamed as they spun around.
"It worked!" Dipper gasped. "He does exist!"
"ACK! Yeah I exist and I just landed on what I can only describe as a wrinkly leather gold bag." Carlos pushed the curtain aside…revealing a knocked out Stan Pines beneath him in the filled bath tub. "…kinda wish it was the gold bag to be honest."
"Was Grunkle Stan in there the whole time?" Mabel asked.
"Let's not ask stuff we don't want answers to." Zoe advised, Frida nodding quickly as Carlos climbed out of the tub.
"Mr. Carlos I have so many questions!" Dipper got out his journal and a pen.
"Well kid, I probably won't have time for that." Carlos sighed.
"Why not?"
"I don't even have time to explain why I don't have time to-"
Pop!
He was gone.
"Oh…that." Dipper nodded. "Right."
"…I think grandpa is drowning." Frida warned the others
"I'm not climbing in there." Dipper said before calling out. "SOOS!"

Pop!
"Okay universe, what maniac has summoned me this time?!" Carlos cried out as he fell to his knees. "Go on! Do your worst!" He tore away the remains of his shirt. "DO IT!"
…
"Carlos."
Carlos blinked and looked up to see a very familiar face…and a number of others belonging to strange winged beings.
"Uh- Melissa?!" Carlos shot to his feet.
"CARLOS YOU MORON!" His wife shouted immediately, making him give a high pitched yelp before he hurried away with her close behind.
"Is this a human courting ritual?" Broadway asked Lexington as the Manhattan clan watched Melissa pursue her husband.
"I dunno…but it might explain all those articles about marriage not being so popular these days." Lexington shrugged.
"HONEY I'M SORRY!"
"YOU'RE GONNA BE SORRY! GO OFF INTO SPACE AND LEAVE ME TO WATCH THE KIDS, WILL YAH?!"
"Please Zarkon, take me back! Save me from the Bride of the Netherworld!"
"WHAT'D YOU CALL ME?!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Gravity Falls
Mystery Shack
"All right you guys. I'm going to meet up with Dipper and let him know there is no chance between us." Wendy explained her plan to Soos and Mabel. "Just tell him to meet me on the front porch."
Mabel and Soos nodded as Wendy went out the door and waited…
And waited…
And...waited….
And…waited…..
The door finally opened.
"Dipper, I-"
"Gabrielle, you're finally here!" Stan shouted, hugging her tightly.
"STAN!" Wendy shouted and shoved him off. "What are you doing here?!"
"This is my Shack, I own it and you're not Gabrielle." Stan shuddered. "Is this some kind of joke?"
"Who the hell is Gabrielle?"
"She's my mail-ordered bride. A guy gets lonely at times so I figure I would have someone over for the weekend before she takes off, steals the fake money I left as a decoy and/or tries to kill me." Stan explained.
Mabel then ran out. "Wendy, Grunkle Stan, Soos mixed it up. You were supposed to meet Gabrielle out back and Dipper was supposed to meet Wendy out here."
Then they heard Dipper shouting from the back. "HOT DAMN! WHO NEEDS WENDY?!"
"Lucky little bastard." Grunkle Stan grumbled.

Edd's House
DING-DONG
"Coming." Double D walked up to the door and answered. "Hello?"
"Hi Double D!" Sarah and Jimmy greeted on the other side.
"Oh, Sarah, Jimmy. What can I do for you?" Double D asked pleasantly.
"Double D, we have a question that no one wants to answer." Jimmy said.
"And we think you can help since you're the smartest person in the cul-de-sac." Sarah finished.
Double D smiled. "All right. What's your question?"
"Where do babies come from?"
…
…
…
"Uh, isn't this covered in class?" Double D asked, looking surprised and then confused.
"They scrubbed the class. Saying it pollutes children's minds." Jimmy replied.
"They?"
"Mothers." Sarah clarified.
"Well, I guess you're old enough to know. You see, when a man and a woman love each other…"
Later
"WHAT DID YOU TELL HER?!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Double D was running for his life from Edzilla while Jimmy and Sarah were lying on the ground, completely still and staring blankly up at the sky.
Goodbye childhood
Mabel landed next to them and patted them both on the heads. "I know the feeling all too well."
Stan landed next to her. "Well better you learned it from me than your parents."
