When Pacifica Northwest woke up in the morning, she was taken downstairs to breakfast, per the usual, but something was off with her family, the thing that made them really on edge, was the fact that all of the Northwests thought they were going insane.

First, their house was haunted by a vengeful ghost that nearly killed everyone, then gravity reversed itself, then that weird deal between her father and Bud Gleeful, something about her father was different after that event... and her mother was practically shaking the table with her shivering, everyone thought things were very... wierd.

Not that any of the Northwests ever thought there was anything particularly weird about the town, other than the fact that everyone else in town are complete morons, so all this weird stuff was really screwing up their minds.

Pacifica personally was determined to find out why this had happened, it had to have happened because of something, or someone, but her parents felt differently. They just smiled like nothing was wrong and there wasn't construction currently being done on the roof of our house, and they just laughed in a kind of creepy happy way whenever she mentioned it.

Pacifica knew there was only one person who would know why this was happening, much to her dismay, that person was Dipper Pines. Unfortunately as part of her punishment for opening the gates to the town, Pacifica was forbidden from leaving the house, especially if it was to see "that rotten little know-it-all peasant living in that hobble of a tourist trap" as her father said.

But Pacifica was persistent, she wanted to leave the house, she needed to get answers on what in the heck happened here! But as Pacifica was eating breakfast, thinking of ways to escape, she got an idea! She would take her clothes from her closet (of which there was a ridiculous abundance of) and make a chain leading out of her window! Her parents barely check on Pacifica anyway, they pretty much hate her at this point. So she decided, as soon as her parents got distracted, she would escape.

Mabel walked down for breakfast, and Dipper walked into the kitchen, when Grunkle Stan's voice called out

"Hey kids, I made stancakes and bacon for breakfast!"

"Great, pancakes with hair in them." Dipper said "I'll pass, just give me the bacon."

Mabel said nothing, she was so sad she wasn't even able to complain about the bacon, what with there being a pig in the house, she just sat down, and ate her stancakes, while Dipper ate the bacon, at first, then he felt bad, and stopped eating.

"Do we have anything other than stancakes and bacon?" Mabel finally asked, the horrible flavor of old hair and Waddles finally getting through her sadness.

"Nope, this is all that we have." said Stan

"Or not!" said Ford as he came into the kitchen carrying a plate or golden brown waffles. "I made waffles, completely hair-free, and beef sausage in respect for your pig!"

Ford then showed his other hand on which there was a smaller plate with a few sausage patties on them.

"Whoohoo..." said Mabel in a sad tone "What a great breakfast, I'll go get the orange juice..."

"Yeah, that's pretty nice of you Great Uncle Ford!" said Dipper "I'm sure she likes it..." he said to Ford. Ford nodded understandingly.

"Well yeah I guess it's ok..." said Stan with just a hint of annoyance "Honestly, I don't know what you kids have against my stancakes!"

The Pines family ate thier breakfast, and as they were doing so, Dipper asked a question

"So did anyone hear about how Gideon was bailed out of jail?"

Stan did a spit take... on Mabel's face.

"WHAT!?" said Stan "How? Who? Again, What?"

"Apparently there's been a deal between Preston Northwest and Bud Gleeful." Dipper said "Since he bailed him out, I'm going over to the Northwest Mansion to investigate!"

"Come back with the head of my enemy!" said Stan "Um... I mean come back with information!"

With that, Dipper headed off for the manor, still a thousand questions brewing in his mind.

"Who is "Gideon Gleeful" exactly?" Ford asked
