Here's the next chapter for Gravity Falls, now quite frankly I was never a fan of this episode but I decided, why not and just go with it. But don't get me started like when I skipped the Time Traveler's Pig. I never liked it, one bit.
But any who, merry Christmas everyone and I hope that you enjoy this chapter.
Chapter 12
Boss Adams
It was currently night time at Gravity Falls, where there was nothing currently going on. Well, were things creeping out through the night, but our main focus goes to the Mystery Shack. As the Pines family and their resident were in dreamland another family was coming up.
Outside there was a small family of racoons squeaking away.
" Hey kids...Let's go do see what they got tonight! " The mother said as they were eyeing the garbage cans that were outside of the Mystery Shack.
" If they've been eating none stop, then were gonna eating good. " One of the kids squeaked as he got onto the trash can and made it fall down spilling out its contents. " Reeses! Kit kats! Eggs, and bacon! "
" And a shitload of raw hot dogs! " The older brother squeaked as he was eating them. " You know what these are made of? "
" What? " The little brother asked.
" Lips and assholes! " The older racoon said getting a good laugh from his little brother while his mother rolled her eyes.
The next morning
Stan, the twins and Waddles were now currently watching tv since there were no tourists so far.
" Ladies and gentlemen! We now return to Cash Wheel! Sponsored by Chipackerz, the chip-flavored crackers! "
" But they taste just like chips... " Mabel said in amazement because she was eating out of the box of the said product and feeding some to her pig. On the tv a man spins a wheel and the tip lands on a piece called Cash Shower.
" Congratulations, your taking a... "
" Cash! Shower! " Stan yells out along with the crowd on tv finishing what the host was going to say. Meanwhile the guy who landed on the cash shower got rained on by large amounts of money taking them into his arms laughing away. However one his fellow contestants grabbed one of the bills. This made the man punch the guy in the face and pushed the lady right next to him down.
" I like that guy's style. " Stan said because he'd probably be doing the same thing.
As this happened the back door burst open to reveal Adam who was now all dirty and looked agitated. " Adam? What are you doing out there? " Dipper asked.
" Cleaning up the mess those damn racoons left for me. " The blonde answered as he went into the kitchen to wash his hands from the filthy germs of his early morning work. " This is the third night in a row they've raided our garbage cans. Stan do you have any traps? "
" No. " Mr Mystery answered making the blonde scoff.
" Of course you don't. " He muttered. " I'll just run into town to get some. "
" Mr. Pines! " Soos cried out running into the living room. " We got tourists at nine o'clock! "
" How many are we talking about? " Adam asked now entering the room while Stan was rushing to get his suit on.
" A whole bus-load of them! " The handy man answers. Outside seen from an open window a bus pulls up in front of the Mystery Shack letting the passengers off while scarring off Ghomper's the goat.
" Hot tamales! " Stan was very much pleased seeing the amount of people showing up. " It's a jackpot! Soos, Adam! Make some new attractions! "
" On it! " Both employee's replied while Soos was pouring large amounts of glue on a headless chicken and in the process Adam slammed down a fox head.
" Where's the... "
" On the shelf Soos. " Adam said knowing his friend was looking for the glue while tinkering with a snakes body.
" Wendy! " Stan turned his attention to the red head who was reading a magazine. " Mark up those prices! The higher the better! " She sighes walking over to the snow globes raising it from 2 dollars to 20. " Higher! Bleed'em dry! " He cries out as she add another zero making the snow globes 200 bucks each.
" Yeesh, Grunkle Stan... " Dipper commented looking to his great uncle. " It's like when you look at tourists, all you see are wallets with legs. "
" That's not true. " Stan waved him off before turning to a small family and immediately they turned into exactly what Dipper said.
" Thanks for taking me to the Mystery Shack, daddy. " The young boy wallet said making the dad wallet laugh. " Now don't spend yourself all in place. Nearby another wallet comes out of the back seat of a car.
" Oh man, I'm feeling car sick! " The wallet then threw up a large amount of change. Stan then rubbed his eyes stopping the hallucinations.
" Clean up on the front lawn! " Stan called out and Dipper sighed knowing what he was gonna have to do taking a mop and bucket.
Now inserting Gravity Falls opening theme music
We first see a view of trees with a water fall in the distance followed by the gas station that has the large wooden lumber jack near it before we see the Gravity Falls water tower.
Before long we see a Speedy Beaver bus drive off dropping the twins in front of the Mystery Shack with Stan appearing like a magician and motions over to the building as the S of the building falls off.
Adam now comes into view giving the twins the tour showing off different attractions before it shows the trio with Stan out in the rain examining a bigfoot footprint that's inside of an even larger footprint.
A brief forest trail is shown in speed motion with bigfoot running through as it shows the weather vane on the mystery shack that has a question mark and four letters, w,h,a & t spelling out: What?
DIPPER
We see the boy holding onto a candle holder using it to examine some strange symbols in some kind of cave before turning around and was frightened to see a demon skeleton causing him to drop the candle.
MABEL
The female pine twin is rubbing her cheek against her pet pig Waddles before it shows her wearing a sweater that illuminated stars and her name thanks to it being plugged into an outlet.
STAN
The twins great uncle is shown running while holding onto a cash register not caring if money is flying out of it before it shows him sitting on his recliner and shifts his eyepatch over to the other eye.
ADAM
The blonde is seen reading books about the supernatural before it shows him smiling giving an 'okay' sign while holding a magnifying glass in the other hand.
As it begins to end we see the Stan telling everyone a spooky story around a campfire with Soos, Mabel and Dipper buying into it while Wendy nudges Adam with her elbow and rolls her eyes as their unaware that massive bat is seen watching them.
We see Wendy at the counter near the cash register with a glass jar full of eyeballs looking at the viewers, followed by Dipper examining the symbols in the journal while Adam is seen with a pair of eyes right behind him. Then finally we see Adam and the twins minding their own business before everything suddenly begins to float making the Dipper and Adam exchange a quick glance at one another.
Finally we see multiple photo's fall until it shows a picture the main Mystery Shack crew posing in front of a tree with a hole in it with Adam seen kneeling down with his arms right over the twins shoulders before we see the main title.
Theme end
" Ladies and gentle tourists, looking around my Mystery Shack, you will see many wondrous roadside attractions. Be amazed at the only known photo of a horse uh...riding another horse! " He says gesturing to the said framed photo with two signs pointing at it one reading: So wrong and the other saying It's Unatural. " That's,,,That's pretty good. " The tourists bought it and took photo's of it.
Stan then leads them to a closed curtain. " And now be astounded by the horrible pre-teen wolf-boy! " He pulls a rope pulling up the curtains revealing the wolf boy that was actually Dipper who wasn't wearing a shirt. As the people gasped in surprise Stan added more into it. " Oh! Oh, look at him! All that hair! His body's changing! Ah! "
Dipper takes out the fake fangs. " Grunkle Stan, this is demeaning... "
" What? I don't know 'de meaning' of that word! " His great uncle said making himself and the tourists laugh. " if you throw money at him, he dances. " Stan added and the tourists actually listened to him for some reason throwing change and dollar bills at Dipper. With some of the pieces of metal hitting him in the eyes. But all he could do was whimper and dance away while Stan was laughing collecting the flying cash with a large glass jar.
As this was going on we now see the gift shop with Mabel right behind the register. " Behold! " She cried out getting their attention to make a sale. " Mystery Shack bumper stickers! You can stick'em on your bumper or over your husband's mouth! Am I right ladies? " The female twin called out. " She knows what I'm talkin' about. " Mabel said pointing at a woman who laughs at her joke.
" You are bad! How much? "
" Hey, it's on the house. That's the Mabel difference! " She said passing the lady the sticker. " Thanks for visiting! "
" What?! " She heard Stans voice turning to see a carboard cut out of her great uncle holding a sign reading spend. Funny thing was that he was behind the carboard cut out and threw it aside walking over to his great niece. " What the heck you think you're doing!? "
Business! Ching, ching, ching! " She answered and pressed a few keys on the cash register despite the glare she was getting. " Listen, kid... " He turns her around. " You don't make money by giving stuff away! Your off of register duty! "
" But...but... "
" Not buts except yours out the door! " Stan said. " Now shut your yap and get to work! "
" Grunkle Stan, whatever happened to 'Please' and 'thank you?' " Mabel asked making a face. " Hmm? Oh wait... " She pulls out a bag full of stickers. " Here they are! " She pulls out two stickers with the said words putting them on his face and laughs away. Stan was not amused by this as he takes a please sticker off of his glasses.
" Ugh! 'Please'... " He slaps the sticker on the front of the register. "...never made me any money, kid. In fact, just saying the word is giving me a burning sensation. " He slightly cringes in pain and slaps the 'thank you' sticker on the back of Soos's head as he was walking by.
Dipper then walks up to them. " Grunkle Stan? Why do I have to wear this wolf costume? " He begins scratching himself. " I think I'm getting hookworm. "
Stan laughs at this. " Yep, gluing dog hair to your body will do that. "
" You have all these dumb fake exhibits in the Shack. " Dipper takes off the ears. " Meanwhile, I've seen actual amazing things in the forest everyday! What if you hunted down a real attraction, instead of lying to people for a living? "
" And you should be nicer to your employees too! "
" Yeah! " Both twins exchanged a high five making their great uncle sigh.
" Look, you guys got a problem with how I run the Shack, take it up with the complaints department. Zing! " He pulls up a small can of trash chuckling away showing he didn't care.
Apparently Mabel didn't catch the drift. " I am going to write them such a letter. " She said busting out a piece of paper with a pencil and began to write while covering it to make sure no one else would see what she was writing getting a look from her brother.
We now see the group wearing painting clothes as they were tasked with painting the signs of the mystery shack with glitter. Yes, actual glitter.
" And don't stop till you've covered that sign with glitter! " Stan called out from down bellow. " Glittery signs attract tourists! Also large birds! " On que an eagle swoops down screeching away attacking Soos who was on the second sign before Adam took off his left boot and threw it at the bird making it fly away. Stan merely chuckled at what happened. " That's funny. " He walks away and everyone stops what there doing to take a break.
" Okay, is it just me, or is having Grunkle Stan as a boss seriously the worst? " Dipper asked.
" I know right? " Wendy agreed. " Why do we even put up with it? "
" Because we get paid for it, we need money to almost everything and have a roof over your head? " Adam said as he kept painting. " That and also, me working here counts as rent, so I've got a few things to complain about. "
" I tried to give him a suggestion to improve the Shack once. " Soos said. " I had this idea where I could be, like, the Mystery Shack mascot. Questiony the Question Mark. " He pulls out a piece of paper with a drawing of himself wearing question mark costume made out of foam. " I'd ask people questions, you know, do the question dance. "
" That sounds amazing! " Mabel commented.
" Oh, cool! " " Yeah totally! " Both Wendy and Dipper said in agrement.
" Yeah, well, Stan said I couldn't handle it. " Soos said sadly as he put the piece of paper away.
" He said what!? " Mabel sounded outraged upon hearing this news.
" I don't know Soos, I think he made the right move on that one. " Adam said patting his friend on the shoulder. " I like the idea too, but the truth is, that sometimes, the mascots tend to get the most 'attention' sometimes not in a good way. "
" You agree with him!? " Mabel asked baffled by what she was hearing from her older friend.
" Easy Mabel chill out. " Adam put his hands up in defense. " Look guys, it might suck sometimes, like one time, I asked him if I could have a raise, He said no. " Mabel grew more angered but hid it inside. " And that's fine, as long as I got a place to live I'm okay with it. We all have our good moments don't we? "
" You what...Yeah, yeah, we do. " Wendy admitted.
" True. " Dipper agreed.
" Yeah, Adam's right. " Soos agreed as well.
" And right there... " Mabel said pointing at Adam. " Right there, I bet Adam would make a way better boss then Stan ever would! "
" Oh man! He'd totally be perfect! "
" She ain't wrong. "
" Dude, that be awesome! " Wendy, Dipper and Soos agreed with what she said.
" Whoa-whoa slow down a sec. " The blonde said nervously. " I'm flattered, but come on, I'm not ready for that sort of responsibility yet. "
" Come on Adam! " Mabel protested. " You never know if you'll never try! "
" Can we talk about this later though? Were almost done. " Everyone agreed with what he had in mind and they all finished with what they were ordered to do. As for Mabel, she was gonna have something else to later on that day.
Stan is now on the porch saying goodbye to the tourists holding the glass jar that was now full of money. " And remember, folks, we put the 'Fun' in 'No refunds!' " He goes back inside closing it behind him.
" You! " A sudden voice says scaring the old man and turns around to see that it was only Mabel. " Grunkle Stan, you've gone too far this time! " She follows him into his office. " Did you seriously tell Soos not to follow his hopes and dreams because he 'couldn't handle it'? And not give Adam a raise? "
" Look, kid, let me break it down for ya. " Stan began as he headed to his desk to sit down. " Being a boss is about commanding respect! If you give people everything they ask for, they'll walk all over you. " He says while placing the jar on the desk while Mabel stands on top of a barrel.
" No way! " Mabel disagreed. " I bet you'd make way more money being nice, than being a big, grumpy grump to everyone all the time! "
" Ha! " Stan laughed hearing that. " You think you know more about business than I do? " He questioned and pointed to his fez. " You think you could wear this hat? "
" Yeah! But I think Adam would be way better then me and you! He gives people respect
" Oh please, Adam might be one of my hardest working employee's next to Soos. I'd even make more money on vacation than he would running this place.
" Then why don't you go on vacation? " Mabel retorted back and Stan seemed to like that idea.
" Interesting. All right, I'm a wagering man. " He thought before making a call. " Four days, 96 hours. " He said and pressed an alarm clock and set it to go off for 96 hours.
" Adam runs the Shack, and I'll go on vacation. If you and him make more money then me I guess it means you're right about the way I run my business. But, if you lose, um... " He pulls out a plain white t shirt and a black marker and begins to write on it. " Both of you gotta wear a 'Loser' shirt all summer. " He shows off a white shirt with the said word LOSER on it.
" Fine! " Mabel replied accepting those terms. " But, if I win, he gets to be the boss for the rest of the summer. Plus, you have to get anything he wants and you, you have sing an apologizing song, with lyrics by me, Mabel. "
" Oh-ho! You got yourself a deal, missy! " Stan said leaning forward from his chair
" No, you got yourself a deal! " Mabel retorted as she leaned forward as well.
" Deal! "
" Deal! "
" Deal! "
" Deal! " Stan slams his fist down on the desk and so did Mabel and slaps a purple heart sticker on his big nose. " Deal... "
We now see Stan outside of the Mystery Shack wearing a blue Hawaiin shirt with white flowers and white pants loading suitcases into the Stan mobile. " See you in 96 hours! Ha-ha! We'll see who makes more money! " He said before taking off his fez and tossed it over to Mabel landing on her head and drives off laughing away.
" Huh? Hey guys, where's Stan going? " Adam asked in confusion as he got out along with Dipper. " What the heck happened in that office? "
" Heheheheh... " Mabel chuckled very nervously.
" Mabel what did you do? " Her twin brother asked as she began sweating nervously and then he noticed the fez on her head. " You made a bet and included Adam into it didn't you? " Dipper quickly said completely taking him by surprise.
" You did what!? " Adam began pacing back and fourth. " No-no...Mabel! Why would you do that!? "
" I'm sorry! " The female twin apologize.. " I just caught in the heat of the moment!
" You used me for your bet without my consent! " He yells while shaking her frantically. " What is wrong with you!? "
" Oh come on. You're a better boss than Stan. It'll be a cinch. " Mabel said positively.
" Mabel, you're not listening to me. " The blonde said. " The guy's a pro con artist. How do you think he keeps this place from going down under!? Especially in a town where most the people are stupid! Minus Soos and Wendy...What's the bet? "
" The good part first or the bad part? "
" The bad part. " Adam answered.
" If we lose then we'll have to wear a loser shirt all summer. " She said explaining the bad news and then went into the good news. " If we win he has to get you anything he wants, you get to be the boss for the entire summer and he'll have to sing an apology song I made. "
Hearing this made Adam think for a minute. " Alright fine. But if I have to wear that Loser shirt all summer, then I'm never speaking to you again. " He said before putting on Stans barret.
" Okay, first off, get everyone into the office, so we can started. "
" Gotcha! Profit here we come! " Mabel said raising up the glass jar and slipped out of her hands if it wasn't for Adam catching it. " Sorry! " She goes to do what she was instructed.
" Adam, I don't think we shouldn't be too worried. " Dipper said to the blonde. " I mean, how much money could Stan even make on vacation? "
" You do have a point. Besides, where could he get it from? "
In some random location was a man writing on a clipboard. He notices someone was there. " Can I help you sir? "
" I'm here to take all the cash from your wheel. " Stan said proudly striking a pose as he was now at the Cash Wheel.
Time remaining: 72 hours and counting...
" You wanted to see us Mr Pines? " Soos asked as he the rest of the Mystery Shack employee's with Mabel standing right beside the desk. The chair turns and Adam is in the chair wearing a suite and the fez.
" Stan is no longer with us. " Mabel said.
" He's dead!? " Soos freaked out getting onto his knees. " No! It should have been me! "
" Soos, buddy calm down. He's not dead. " Adam said immediately telling his best friend who calmed down.
" Thank you for that clarification. " The handyman said whipping away a few tears.
" Then why are you in his chair then Adam? " Wendy asked in confusion.
" Because Mabel got dragged into a bet she made with Stan. " The blonde said exchanging a quick glare to Mabel who nervously smiled. " He's on vacation for four days. So I was placed in charge. "
" Look guys, there will be a few changes. Okay, but not nothing to extreme. "
" In exchange for doing this, and you guys do a good job on your work, I'll take you all out for dinner, on me on the third day. How's that sound? " They all instantly agreed with his offer. " Now, anyone have any suggestions they want to try out? Raise their hand. " They all did. " Lot's of hands. Good. Uh...Soos, you first. "
" Can I be the Questiony the Question Mark? "
" Honestly, I don't see why not, we'll try it out and see how it goes. " He turns over to Wendy.
" Okay, also, Wendy I'd like to 'address' an issue. " He air quoted. " Since you pretty much made Stan give me your work, while you slake off, your going to be doing it. But, if you do then, I'll pay you 10 bucks an hour for your good behavior and actually working. "
" 20. "
" 15. Final offer. "
" Sold. " Wendy shook his hand and then he looked over to Dipper.
" How about you Dipper? "
" Can I head into the woods and bring back a real attraction? "
" Honestly, I preferred if you didn't because nearly everything in that forest is dangerous. But, in this case just bring something not to serious. Okay? "
" I will! Finally! Time to show Stan how a real mystery hunter does it! " He runs off and grabs a mace off the wall and has a hard time holding it because it was heavy. Despite this he tried his make his way out the window. " Dipper out! Ahhh! " He falls out because of the weapons weight.
" Okay, look alive people, because in the next 72 hours it's gonna be busy. And remember, dinner is on the line. Understand? " He got nods from everyone just as a bus full of tourists showed up. " Let's get to work people! " The blonde said as he went to go and greet the tourists.
Stan is now seen at the auditions for Cash Wheel, but the only problem was him waiting in line to audition. " Ugh, this line is taking forever! " He complained. " Time to use my old man powers. " He slaps his chest and begins his act.
" Ahhhhh! I'm having a heart attack! " He falls down getting peoples attention still faking he was in pain. " And the only cure is to be a contestant on-*fake gasping for air* on Cash Wheel! Oh someone give me a part! I'm old! "
" Should we escort him off to the lot? " The same guy holding the clipboard from before asked looking to a very rich guy.
" That man is a self-centered attention hog with no regard for human decency. Get him on tv! "
" Thank you very much folks for visiting the Mystery Shack! " Adam told the crowd while Mabel held the jar for people to put their money in.
" Oh-ho, see you soon! " She said.
" Adam! Mabel! I captured something! " They both turn to see Dipper dragging a large tied bag that appeared to have something alive from the inside because it was moving. " This is gonna blow those tourists away! " The creature in the bag grabs Dippers arm and he punches it until it lets go.
" Dipper, is that thing dangerous? "
" Oh yeah...Totally... " Dipper replied sheepishly as he dragged it inside the shack despite it's large size.
" I'll be inside if you need me. " Mabel heads inside passing Adam the jar and so far so good the jar was about 25 percent full.
" Soos? You okay? " He notices his friend was peaking his head over from a portable toilet. " Where've you been? I haven't seen you all day. "
" Uh, I'm starting to have second thoughts about this, Adam. I keep forgetting my lines, and this costume is more...Revealing than I expected. " He said. It was true, the question mark acted as a shirt leaving his chubby body exposed.
" Okay, never mind on the costume idea Soos. Just put your clothes back on. "
The next night, the racoons were back.
" Rocks on top the cans? " The youngest brother squeaked.
" That never works. "
" We'll just knock the cans over. "
" Of course we will. " The mother said as she watched the youngest climb up and pushed the rocks aside.
" Hey mom? Can I stay up again and watch the people rake up all the mess again? "
" We'll see honey. "
Time remaining 48 hours...
The next day Soos is seen cleaning up the mess the racoons had made last night.
We see two tourists exploring the Mystery Shack checking out the exhibits a husband and wife.
" Ladies and gentleman. " He gets there attention. " My name's Honest Dipper, and unlike my cheating uncle, I have something to show you that isn't a hoax! " He began. " It nearly killed me getting him into that cage. Behold, part golbin part gremlin, the Gremlobin! " He pulls off the cover revealing a large monster. True to its name, the creature has traits of both a goblin and a gremlin. He has red eyes without pupils. It was muscular with green skin, clumps of body hair, and a prominent lower jaw with two large fangs protruding out of it. Mushrooms coat his shoulders and hair his arms, and his ears are pointed like a bat's.
As it was roaring and growling Dipper tapped the journal for his success as it then spat out a skeletal arm and there was a wedding ring on it.
" Well, that's fun! " The husband commented unfazed by what it spat out.
" It's fake, honey. " The wife told the husband much to Dipper's shock. " You can see the strings! "
" What? Those aren't strings! That's body hair! " He said telling them the truth but they were focused on a fake exhibit.
" Ah, look at this, dear, the six-pac-a-lope. " It was a deer with human body the husband laughed.
" Wordplay! " He takes a photo and Dipper rushes over to them.
" No, everything else here is fake. " He drags them over back to the Gremlobin. " This is a real paranormal beast. Fun fact about this little guy. If you look into his eyes, you can see your worst nightmares. " They both looked into the monsters red eyes that immediately turned bright yellow as did the husband and wifes who gained looks of horror.
Amazing right? " Dipper asked and then grew nervous. " I work for tips. "
The ambulance is now seen outside of the shack with the couple being pulled into by a paramedic with their eyes still glowing yellow whimpering stuff as they were put in.
" Thanks again for visiting! " Dipper said as the ambulance drove off.
" What did you do!? "
" I'm sorry! I drove them insane! "
" What the hell man!? I thought you said it was harmless! "
" I said only if you looked into it eyes! " Adam merely paces back and fourth before kicking a trash can over and continued to kick it in anger. After a few more minutes the teen had finally calmed down and looked to him taking a deep breath and exhaled.
" Dipper, you get rid of that thing got it No ifs or buts. It's gone. "
" I'm not gonna argue on that. "
The same following night after covering and making sure the Gremlobin was fed. The gang had now arrived at a local resteraunt downtown called Paul Bunyan's Cupboard (I made it up.) to have dinner that Adam promised the group if they were on good behavior and that he'd be buying for them.
" Uh...Yeah, I think that's good. " Adam said with the waitress writing down on what they were all ordering.
" Hey mam? " Soos asked looking at his menu. " What's the Old '96er? "
" Oh, that's our world-famous Paul Bunyan's Blue Ox Steak. It is a 96-ounce prime-aged beef steak. " She answered and added in more information. " And if you or any member of your party order the Old '96er and finishes, everybody eats for free. "
This quirked the groups interest.
" Uh, one question. " Dipper spoke up in curiosity. " Has anyone seriously tried to eat one before? "
" Oh, no. No. Not in my lifetime, no. " The waitress answered.
" Come on, Adam you should do it. " Wendy nudged his shoulder hoping to encourage him.
" What me? No, no. I'm good. "
" Come on...Do it. " She then began to chant. " Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! " She motions everyone else to chant.
Rest of party: " Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! "
" Alright! Alright! Fine! " Adam said holding his arms up admitting defeat. " What the heck, I'll try it. How bad could it be? "
Elsewhere in the restaurant someone opened a large freezer with sign reading: Home the Old '96er. They opened it revealing many slabs of meat hanging on the hook but one of them stood out from the rest within the mist was a massive steak waiting to be cooked.
Back at the Mystery Shack the racoons had returned once again.
" Where're the garbage cans? " The older brother squeaked.
" They probably put them in the shack. " The mother answered.
" Garbage in the shack? " The little brother asked.
" They're not the cleanest species on the face of the earth, you know. " The mother said. " It's not a problem. We'll just have to break in. "
" Can we do that? " The youngest brother asked.
" What do you think we have these wonderfully articulate fingers for? " The older brother asked showing off his paw. " To scratch our asses? "
" Uh...I think we should wait until that monsters gone kids. " The mother advised.
" Yeah good point. " The older brother agreed before scurrying off into a bush.
We cut back to the restaurant where everyone else was eating there dinner minus Adam who was still waiting for his. He was now growing impatient. " Come on... " He checks his watch. " I've been waiting half an hour for it. How long is it gonna take? "
" Uh...Adam? " Everyone looked where Dipper was looking and they too shared the same look of shock as he did slowly approaching them.
" What? " The blonde turned around and his eyes nearly came out in shock. " Oh...my...god..." He whispered before the plate was placed right in front of him with a fork and special knife used for cutting it. He slowly looks up to his right to see the cook who made it. It was a man right around the size of Manly Dan with the front of his apron covered in large amounts of dry blood.
" Bon appetit. " The tall man said looking down at Adam.
" Whoa... " Wendy said in awe never expecting the steak to be that massive and took a photo of it and soon everyone else gathered around to watch him eat the steak. As he was eating it bite by bite Adam had to admit the piece of meat was absolutely delicious. But the down side was the sheer size and quantity it had. One though also rolled through his mind.
' The cow that died to make this had to put up a fight taking someone with him... ' He said as he was done with the bone area and continued eating. As he drank some water he looked up to the chef and saw him making a motion with his hands to remain happy.
A few minutes later Soos and Dipper had their ears pressed up against Adams stomach hearing bubbling noises. " How's he doing? " Mabel asked as Soos gave Dipper a thumbs up.
" Were good. It's processing nicely. " Dipper said giving Adam an 'A okay sign'. " Very nicely continue. " Adam was now at the last two bites, but the problem was that he was stuffed and anymore he'd probably pop. But with whatever remaining strength he had left and everyone silently watching in anticipation he down the last bite getting a round of applause from everyone.
" Well, I think that just about does it. " Soos said.
" He's not done yet. " The chef said making them confused while the blonde was still recovering from the last bite.
" Well he's gotta be. That was the last bite. " Dipper protested.
" That ain't the last bite. "
" But there's nothing left but grissling fat. " Immediately everyone connected the dots and looked down on the plate where there was a huge chunk of fat that was cut off.
" Uh-oh..." Wendy said as they watched Adam raise his knife and stab into the fat and shoved it all into his mouth using the final reserves of sheer will power he had to eat it and not throw up. Within a few minutes of chewing he was done and got his picture taken.
They all soon exited out helping Adam who was wearing a t shirt reading: I ATE THE 96'ER!. However as they were heading to their vehicle Adam ran to a nearby dumber and threw up in it.
The group had just arrived back at the Mystery Shack.
" Dude, I never seen you eat that much. " Soos commented as he and Wendy continued to help Adam walk since he was still out of it. In fact along the way back they had to pull over to let him throw up a few more times so it was that bad.
" One thing's for certain, I ain't never gonna... " He lets out a large burp. " Do that again... "
" Yeah, but come on man. You the first person to eat that steak in nearly 40 years, not even my dad could it if he tried. " Wendy said giving him a pat on the back. " But still, thanks for dinner. "
" Thank you Adam. " Everyone said at the same time.
" No... " He burped again and groaned. " Problem..." Mabel and Dipper quickly opened the door so that Adam could be lead inside.
" Well, I'm just glad this nights over with... " The blonde said but their moment of peace was cut short. The loud sound of roaring was heard taking everyone by surprise as something burst through the living room. It was Grimlobin and seeing this the group ducked behind the counter.
" What!? " Dipper was confused as he pooked his head out and went back.
" How did he get out of his locked cage Dipper!? " Adam asked with worry and fear in his voice as he peaked above above the counter and dived back down.
" I don't know! "
" Well... " Mabel began fidgeting her fingers nervously. " I might've left him a key to give him a break? "
" You gave him a break! " Both Adam and Dipper cried out in disbelief.
" He's an employee! Sort of... " Mabel replied sheepishly.
" Well we better think of something! " Adam said as they peeked their heads out. " And think of it fast! " The Gremlobin then continued it's rampage tearing the gift shop apart. As this happened the tv was somehow turned on revealing Stan on Cash Wheel.
" Ladies and gentlemen, Stan Pines is poised to become our grand champion. Anything to say to your fans out there? "
" See you tomorrow night, you two! " He cried out while holding out the LOSER t shirt laughing away as the gremlobin tossed the circle shaped Aztec slab at the door blocking their closest escape route.
When it had it's back turned everyone ran through the door to the living room taking their hiding spot right near the hole it came out of. They all then peeked through different spots, Mabel and Dipper peaking through the door with Soos while Wendy and Adam peaking their heads through the hole to see the Gremlobin putting stickers on itself before retracting back.
" What are we gonna do? " Wendy whispered.
" Were trapped! "
" And he's awarding himself stickers that he didn't even earn! " Both Sos and Mabel added in their concern.
" Uh... " Dipper was looking through the journal. " Got it! " He reads what he was looking for: " When fighting a gremlobin, use water... " Mabel and Soos then went out and splashed water on the monster as Wendy watched them, do it and Adam watching Dipper turning the page to read the rest. " Only as a last resort, as water will make him much, much scarier! " Both Mabel and Soos run back to their hiding places while something begins to happen to the Gremlobin.
" What the hell!? Who writes crap like that!? " Adam cried out is confusion. Meanwhile the Gremlobin gets on all fours growing a set of spikes on it's back and increases in size. A cuckoo clock then chimes getting it's attention and was turned to ash cause it breathed fire at it. Despite this, the monster still didn't know they group was hiding really close to him.
" Were dead if he finds us! " Wendy whispers in fear
" Don't worry. " Dipper said. " He's gotta leave eventually.
Hours later...
" I'm the singing' salmon Spending all day jammin'. " The singing came from an animatronic salmon prop on the wall. The one who was pushing it was the Gremlobin who was just sitting their continuing to press the button making it sing over and over again. Heck, the group thought that the monster would get bored and leave, however much to their dismay he wasn't.
" He's been doing that for hours... " Wendy groaned as she was using her hat to try and block off the annoying singing.
" Ugh! Why doesn't he just leave!? " Mabel questioned cause she to was getting annoyed with the singing. However it stopped messing with the salmon and smelled something. He picked up the jar containing their money and opened his mouth.
" Our profits! " The female twin charges to try and save the money they've worked so hard to make.
" Mabel wait! " Dipper cried out as the rest of the group went after her.
" Stop! Stop! " Mabel begged but it was to late the gremlobin was eating their cash and then grabbed her.
" Everyone! Don't look into his evil eye! You'll see your worst nightmare! " Dipper informed the group.
" I wish we had an evil eye to show him! " Mabel said angrily glaring at the Gremlobin who's eyes glowed bright yellow. " Oh no! " Mabel was soon under it's effect.
" Mabel! " Adam cried out and then realized something. " Wait a minute! Evil eye! That can work! " He spots a hand held mirror nearby and grabs it. " Dipper catch! " The male twin caught it and instantly knew what to do with it.
" Hey monster! " The gremlobin looks at him. " Take a look at this! " He put the mirror close to the creatures face and gasps dropping Mabel. It then gave off an anguished roar and crashes right through the entrance.
" Well. at least he didn't do that much damage... " Dipper said as they watched the monster run right before it freaking sprouted a set of wings and took into the air breaking the totem pole causing the top to fall onto a car and the alarm to go off.
" You were saying? " Adam asked with a raised eyebrow.
" Oh boy... " He then realizes the amount of damage it's already caused.
" Guys! It's the fourth day! " Mabel said pulling up the alarm clock revealing how much time they had left. " We've only got seven hours to earn back our profits or me and Adam got to wear those loser's shirt all summer! "
" The hell I am! " Adam cries out in defiance. " We just fought a monster to save this place and now I'm expected to give up? I don't think so. I ain't going down with out a fight! " Adam cries out as he raises the jar high up into the air. " Let's go, people! "
Later on, after making a few calls and rushing to fix the Shack as soon as possible Adam was now watching a crane fixing the totem pole putting the top back on. " Come on! " The blonde said over a mirco phone. " Don't break that thing! It's the whole reason I'm paying you! " He says before groaning in pain. " Oh, my back... "
" Adam! We got tourists at nine o'clock! " Mabel yelled out informing the teen.
" Dipper make an attraction! " Adam yelled out on the micro phone.
" But what do we show them? " The male teen inquired. " Real magic just freaks people out! "
" I got an idea. " Adam said with a smirk as he knew it was already going to work.
We now see the blonde leading a tour through the Mystery Shack. " Ladies and gentle-tourists! " He was also wearing still wearing the tux and this time he wore an eyepatch on his left eye " In this very room, you'll see the many wonders the Mystery Shack will that wonders never before seen by human eyes, " He then motions over to a new exhibit. " Behold! The horrible giant Question Baby! " It was just Soos wearing the question mark costume.
" Am I man? Am I baby? " " Soos asked the crowd. " These are legitimate questions. " The crowd gasps recoiling in horror and shock.
" Now have your picture taken with it with uh... " He pulls out a marker and rights down the price. " Ten bucks! A hundred and fifty bucks! " All most shockingly the people were stupid and took out wads of cash making Adam smirk.
After giving all the tourists a tour and somehow convincing them to buy from the gift shop Adam bid them farewell. " So long everyone! And remember! We put the 'Fun' in 'No refunds'! " As the bus drove off Adam took of his fake eyepatch and walked inside.
" Okay, lay it on me! Did we do good? "
" We did better then that! " Dipper replied.
" We overfilled the whole jar! " Mabel added making everyone cheer at their accomplishment.
Minutes later Dipper was calculating all the money they needed to pay.
" Minus the money to replace all the furniture, supplies to fix the Shack, that leaves us... "
" A hundred bucks... " Adam said showing the result of what was left in the jar. The door then opens making them all gasp to see Stan holding his alarm clock that was going off signaling their bet had come to an end.
" Tick-tock! Time's up, kids! " He said before walking inside and placed his suitcase onto the floor. " Nice to see you learned how to dress while I was gone. " The old man commented upon Adam's wardrobe almost as if he looked proud to see him wearing it and his fez. " So much do you got? "
" 100 dollars. " Adam answered and placed a hand on Mabels shoulder. " Just get it over with, how much did you beat us by? "
" I won 300,000 dollars. " Stan said proudly taking them by surprise before pausing changing his tone. " And then there the bonus round in Cash Wheel and I lost it all. All by just refusing to say one word... "
" What was it? "
" It was the magic word... " Stan said grimly much to his displeasure Mabel was pointing to a sticker that said the word on the cash register.
" Please. " She figured it out.
" Wow... " Adam shook his head in disbelief. " All because you couldn't say it? "
" I know-I know...Apparently that word can make you money. "
" So wait, " Dipper paused. " If you lost everything, then that means...Adam and Mabel won! " Everyone else cheered at their accomplishment.
" Wait, what did we win again? " Soos asked making Stan sigh.
" Well, according to our bet, I guess Mabel's the new boss? "
" Nuh-uh...No thank you! " Adam said shoving his fez right into his boss's arms confusing him greatly.
" Huh, what? " The said boss was confused.
" Stan, look, even though I was dragged into this bet by Mabel. I already knew how hard it was for you to keep business flowing through the Shack so I could live here, despite the major flaws like lying. I'm just gonna say it once, being the boss kind of sucks. But at least I got to know what it was like. "
" Yeah, well... " Stan puts his fez back on. " I gotta admit... " He pulls Adam and the twins into a small hug. " It's kinda nice to be back, ya know? "
" Yes we do. Now can stop hugging? It's getting weird. " The blonde said making the old man chuckle. " Okay, okay, that's enough! Get offa me. " He turns his attention to the rest of his employee's. " And, Soos, Wendy, get to work! " He yells before clearing his throat. " Ahem. Please. " he groans slightly. " Still hurts. "
" Mabel, didn't your agreement say something about Stan having to get whatever Adam wants and him doing some kind of apology dance if he lost? "
" N-no-no I didn't! " Stan stutter making both of them grin. " Actually, yeah, I think I have it in my notes here. "
" Actually, yeah, I think I have it in my notes here. " She said pulling out a small note book making their great uncle panic.
" No! That never happened! " He denied.
Nearby Wendy laughed upon hearing this. " Ha-ha! I'll get the camera! "
" Come on Stan, a deals a deal. " Adam said he got into a sprinting position.
" All right. Let me just... " Instead of doing it he ran off.
" Grunkle Stan! " Mabel cried out and in response Adam went after him and tackled him to the ground.
" Adam! Why!? " The man cried out still trying to crawl away.
" It's like you told me that one time! " He said while getting on top of him. " If you win a bet, make sure you don't get screwed over. Remember that? "
" Oh crap... " Stan realized he was right.
We now see Stan wearing a sparkling orange jumpsuit standing in front of a green tarp with a camera rolling & recording. Cheap music begins to play.
" Look, I'm not gonna... "
" Do it! " Mabel and Adam yell at the same time making Stan sigh before starting to sing and dance.
" I'm Stan, and I was wrong I'm singing the Stan wrong song. I shouldn't have taken that chance. Now here's my remorseful dance. "
" Do the kicks! " Mabel ordered and that's what he did but because he was old he couldn't lift his legs up that high. " Jazzier! " In the process Stan's fez fell down and Ghompers the goat tries to take it away.
" Hey! Give me that! " It turns into a tug of war right before he groans. " Oh my back. " Meanwhile Mabel and Adam were siting in the directors chair with Waddles as their E.P.
" What do you think? "
" I think we did good. But we should add something else to it. " Adam answered with a smirk showing he was enjoying every single second of it while writing down what he wanted. As for Waddles he gave his reply.
" Take 30! " Mabel said as Stan groaned in pain.
