For the record, I did try to stop everyone from eating the floor. I truly did. It's not my fault that my friends can be defeated by a giant pink marshmallow.
My knees ache after chasing Mabel and her pig for ten minutes, and soon everyone collapses onto the ground. Luke looks unconscious, I think Travis is going to sleep-vomit, Mabel's moaning, "Smile Dip... evil...", Candy's eyes are fluttering, and Dipper looks like he's dead. I pull out some ambrosia, but a voice stops me.
"Greek magic won't help you, Annabeth Chase," I pull out my dagger and look up. Well, down. Down at a stubby kid with hair too big for his head. "Who are you?" I step closer to my friends.
"Why, it's Lil' Ol' Me! Gideon!" I freeze. This is the psycho that tried to kill Dipper. I never thought Dipper had an enemy that was like this. He giggles like a madman and walks over to me.
"Annabeth, you may not remember me. I was the five year old that went to school with you in kindergarten. Don't you remember? You were the one that got me in trouble and forced my family to move to this wretched town!" he shouts and twitches.
Oh yeah, I remember! He was that creepy kid that cried when someone took one of 'his' crayons. Wow, looks like someone can hold a grudge. For seven years.
I raise my hand with the knife, but Gideon warns, "Oh Annabeth, don't you understand? You're not in the land of the gods. You're in the land of Gravity Falls! The only place in the world with enough weirdness to become its own beliefs. We don't have religion or gods, we have the strangest of myths, ones you can't begin to comprehend! Hades got tired of dealing with the deranged people of Gravity Falls, so he gave this part of the underworld to Dionysus, the only greek god that could handle the madness! Fortunately, he was too lazy to do anything and let the minds of the citizens here create it! So here we are. A giant marshmallow!"
This is crazy. No wonder everything is creepy here. Dionysus, Hades, marshmallows, it doesn't make any sense! I look up away from my friends, but Gideon's gone.
