Author's Note: This songfic is set in the Reverse/Diamond AU, and it is about Ford giving Dipper and Mabel their powers. Well at least my idea as to how they got them.
Friends on the Other Side.
Stepping off the bus into this hick town was one thing boring in their lives but to actually see where they have to live? With a poor excuse for a magician? Both Twins where thinking that this summer was indeed going to be boring.
"Tell me why we have to be here again?" scoffed Mabel as she gazed at her cell phone.
"Something about seeing the great out doors or something stupid like that," replied Dipper looking around in disgust.
Dipper soon saw their Grunkle Ford, When he was little he thought he was a real magician…he was stupid as a child back then.
"Aw welcome my beloved family members," replied Ford with a smile, "I'm glad that your parents decided to let you stay with me during the summer."
"Yeah yeah," said Mabel not leaving her eyes off her phone.
"Funny, the way they told us it was if they where hypnotized or something," said Dipper.
Ford kept his smile but raised an eye brow, "Hmm, well people can be quite stupid at times."
"Hey, don't we have another great uncle or something?" said Mabel.
Ford frowned, "Oh don't worry about your Grunkle Stan, he is busy doing some work of mine down stairs for a bit." Ford then clapped his hands and put them on the twin's shoulders.
"Actually, your stay here has another motive."
The twins looked at him but clearly not showing any signs of caring.
"Truth is I could tell great things about you two if given the right push I can teach you what I know. There are mystery here and if we can uncover them together we can have all the power in the…"
"Great just what we need, a crazy family member," chuckled Dipper.
"This is just like that stupid movie with the kids and that old hag," scoffed Mabel, "Then again wearing that get up we are just like those kids."
Ford frowned at them, then he slapped Mabel's phone from her hands to the ground breaking it.
Ford: DON'T YOU DISRESPECT ME, LITTLE BRATS!
The twins jumped back at that scene and outburst.
Ford: Don't you derogate or deride.
Ford then smiled, he straightened his tie with the amulet attached to it, then he took of his top hat and waved it toward the top of the tent making the eye glow and…blink at them.
Ford: You're in my world now, not your world.
And I got friends on the other side.
As he said that, the tent's entrance moved as a strange wind blew out with mysterious voices that almost but closely made the twin's skin crawl.
Unknown Voices: He's got friends on the other side…
The twins barely moved but where gently pushed in by Ford smiling, "That is an echo children, just a little trick I do for the locals but then again…perhaps not."
Then in shock as the Twins blinked a table and three chairs appeared out of no where at the center of the stage.
Ford: Sit down at my table, put your minds at ease. If you relax it will enable me to do anything I please.
Dipper walked carefully to the chair but Mable was hesitant, only to shriek a little as she was moving by herself as if a mysterious force was suddenly making her move her legs.
Ford chuckled as he held on to his amulet.
Ford: I can read your future, I can change it round some too, I'll look deep into your heart and soul.
Ford stood between the two as they sat down, "You kids do still have soul don't you?" he asked grinning.
But before they could answer he was now standing on the table.
Ford: Make your wildest dreams come true.
Ford held up in one hand a voodoo doll and in the other hand, a goat skull, then he put them in his top hat and then a stream of flames burst out of the hat and was sent back in as he sat down on his chair with his hat back on his head.
Ford: I got voodoo, I got hoodoo, I got things I haven't tried!
And I got friends on the other side.
Unknown Voices: He's got friends on the other side!
Dipper and Mable looked around trying to find out who was making those voices. They turned back to their Grunckle holding a deck of cards.
Ford: The cards, the cards, the cards will tell.
The past, the present, and the future as well.
Ford did some fancy card tricks with the deck until he them up in front of the twin's faces.
Ford: The cards, the cards, just take three. Take a little trip into your future with me.
Dipper and Mable glanced at each other and together they took three cards and placed them on the table, Ford started with Mable's cards first.
Ford: Now you my dear spend your life at play, you seek to get your things your way.
"I used to be like that when I was your age," Frod smiled.
Ford: You rise so high, but your chance is low, you need to find the power to get your goal.
Ford looked at Mable, "Love life not going well, eh?"
Mable looked away trying to hid a hurt expression, "What's it to you?"
Ford smiled, "You just want to find love or better yet have every boy hop to you life made frogs. But to have that you need a special gift."
Mabel turned back, intrigued.
Ford: It's a gift, it's a gift, it's a gift, you seek, and when I looked into your future it's a gift that I see.
Ford flipped a card showing Mable a powerful woman being surrounded by men on their knees, but most important, a handsome prince dressed in yellow bending on a single knee kissing the woman's hand.
Mable gazed at the card, imagining herself as the woman.
Dipper rolled his eyes at his sister actually buying this, then Ford turned to him.
Ford: Now you my boy, I should not waste much time, you been pushed around all your life, you been pushed around by your classmates and you parents.
And if you where married…you'd be pushed around by your wife.
Dipper frowned while Mable laughed.
Then Ford showed him a single card.
Ford: But in your future, the you I see is exactly the man you always wanted to be!
The card that Dipper held showed a man dressed in black and blue, sitting on a throne and in his hand holding a blue triangle trapped in a sphere.
As Dipper looked at the card he could not help but smile, thinking that will be him.
Then Ford appeared behind them.
"Now the only way for the two of you to gain the means to have what you want all you got to do is…"
Ford: …shake my hand. Come on kids, wont you shake your poor Grunkle's hands?
Mable looked down at his hand while Dipper winched at seeing an extra finger on the other hand, both twins looked at each other and node knowing full well of the other's decision.
They both grabbed his hand.
Ford smile widen as his amulet glowed along with his eyes.
Ford: Yes…
Are you ready?
Unknown Voices: Are you ready?
Suddenly everything in the room started to levitate and both twins where wrapped in black and blue tendrils.
Ford: Are you ready? Transformation central!
Soon two orbs came out of Ford's amulet and Ford smiled as they danced around his hands.
Unknown Voices: Transformation Central!
Ford: Reformation central!
Unknown Voices: Reformation central!
Ford: Transmogrification central! Can you feel it?
Soon the orbs left him and they circled around the trapped twins. One latched on to the side of Mable's head while the second latched to neck base of Dipper's shirt.
Suddenly the tendrils started to fuse with the Twins clothing changing their appearance.
Ford: You're changing, you're changing, you're changing that's right!
I hope you're satisfied, but if your not, don't blame me!
You can blame my friends on the other side!
The Transformation was done as the twins and their new attire as they gently came down to the ground on their feet.
The orbs now their own amulets glowed as well as their eyes.
Ford laughed insanely at his latest accomplishments.
Unknown Voices: You got what you wanted!
But you lost what you had!
Ford laughed and disappeared in a puff of smoke, their other Grunkle Stan came into the tent and saw the twins.
He smiled and walked towards them, but as he got close he recoiled at what was once the last remnant of anything normal left in his family.
The Twins looked at him with their eye's still glowing.
Dipper and Mable: Hush…
The End.
