"There she is, Mabel; the cheapest fair money can rent. I spared every expense," Stan smiles, looking at the Mystery Fair.

Dipper frowns, "I think the sky tram is broken. Also, most of my bones."

"Dipper, come here," Will sighs, before looking around, making sure nobody was watching.

Dipper cautiously walks over to him, wincing ever now and then, before Will suddenly grabs him where his bones are broken. He feels a cooling sensation, but he just looks around. Mabel looks pretty confused, and Stan is just smiling.

Will lets go of him, "Alright, that should do it."

"Do what?" Dipper asked, getting up, "Okay, that... was kinda cool."

Mabel gasped, "Dipper, what did that feel like?"

"Cool. It felt... kinda cool," Dipper smiled.

Stan sighed, "Alright, alright. I've got a job for you two." He pulls out a bunch of fake safety inspection certificates with the letter A+ on them, "I printed up a bunch of fake safety inspection certificates. Go slap one on anything that looks like a lawsuit." He hands them to Dipper, who gives some to Mabel.

"Grunkle Stan, is that legal?" Mabel asked.

Stan smiled, "When there's no cops around, anything's legal! Soos, how's that dunk tank coming along?"

Soos nodded, using a blowtorch on the handle of a dunk tank, "Almost ready to go, Mr. Pines."


Stan knocks on the target and the seat barely moves, before he smiles, "Ha, you've got it rigged from here to Timbuktu! There's nothing on Earth that could knock me down!"

"Yeah, except for like a futuristic laser arm cannon," Soos nodded.

Stan smiled, "Ah. Hey, you haven't seen my red screwdriver, have ya? Darn thing went missing." He digs around in his toolbox.

"Maybe some magical creature or paranormal thing-um took it," Soos suggested.

Stan laughed, "Oi! You've been spending too much time with those kids!" He keeps digging in toolbox and mumbling, "Alright, let's see where'd I put that thing..."

Blendin, behind some portable toilets, whispering, "The mission is proceeding as planned. Over." He uses Stan's red screwdriver to fix his camouflage suit, then walks away.


Stan yells through megaphone, "It's 12 o' clock! The Dunk Tank is now open!"

The tourist cover their ears as the megaphone screeches.

Stan smiled, "Step right up, and dunk me folks!" He points to a tourist eating a pretzel, "I'm talking to you, Cut-offs!"

Tourists are all gathered in front of Stan's dunk tank.

Stan laughed, "That's right! Muffin-Top, High-Pants! Who wants a piece of me?"

Tourists throw balls at dunk tank, but fail to knock down Stan.

Stan laughs, "Ahahahaha! Come back anytime, folks! Ahahahaha!"


Dipper asked, eating corn dog shaped like question mark, "How do they get them into this shape? It's unnatural."

"But Dipper, they're so..." Wendy holds up corn dog to the end of the sign that says "DELICIOUS", "delicious?"

Dipper and Wendy both laugh.

Wendy leaves, due to mustard falling on her.

"I'll be right here! Haha!" He whispered, "I love you!"

Mabel enters with two cotton candy sticks, "Look at you two! Getting all romantic at the fair!"

"Eh, it's no big deal," Dipper shrugged.

Mabel grinned, "Yeah, it is!"

Dipper sighed, "Okay, you're right, it is! Isn't this amazing? I just dove in! I said, "Hey! You wanna hang out at the fair?" And you know what she said? "Yeah, I guess so!" It totally worked! All your advice about just going for it, it's finally paying off!"

"When are you gonna learn, Dipper? I'm always right about everything! Hey, do you smell a gallon of body spray?" Mabel asked.

Robbie Valentino walks up to them, "Hey, have either of you dorks seen Wendy around?"

"Who wants to know?" Dipper asked.

Robbie takes some of Mabel's cotton candy.

Mabel shouts, "Hey!"

"Yeah, I got some new super tight jeans. Thought she might want to check 'em out," Robbie grinned.

Dipper smiled, "Yeah! You know, I think I saw her in the Bottomless Pit. You should really go jump in there."

"Maybe I will, smart guy," He bumps Dipper on his way away.

Mabel sighs, "He is such a jerk."

"Yeah, but he's a jerk with tight pants and a guitar. I need to keep him away from Wendy at all costs," Dipper sighed.

Mabel smiled, "I'll be there with you, brother. Whatever happens, I'll be right here, supporting you every step of the–OH MY GOSH, A PIG!" She runs frantically and bumps several people on the way to the pigpen.

Sprott smiled, "If'n you can guess the critter's weight, you can take the critter home!"

Mabel looks at all the pigs, then sees 15-Poundy.

15-Poundy oinks like the word "Mabel".

Mabel gasped, "He said "Mabel"! Either that or "doorbell." Did you say "Mabel" or "doorbell"?"

15-Poundy oinks "Mabel" again.

Mabel gasped, "Ooooooooooohhhhh!"

"Oh look! Mabel found her real twin!" Pacifica laughs and walks away.

Mabel smiled, "Sir, I must have that pig!"

"Ah, old 15-Poundy! So, how much you guessin' he weighs?" Sprott asked.

Mabel smiled, "Um, 15 pounds?"

"Are you some kind of witch? Well, here's your pig," He give Mabel 15-Poundy.

The crowd claps for Mabel.

Sprott gives Mabel a fork and a knife, "And you'll be needin' these."

Mabel glares at Sprott.

Sprott sighs, "Nope? Well, suit yourself!"

Mabel hugs 15-Poundy, "Everything is different now."


Wendy gasped, "Woah, check it out! I don't know if it's a duck or a panda, but I want one!"

Dipper walks up to ball toss game, "My uncle taught me the secret to these games. You aim for the carnie's head, and take the prize when he's unconscious."

"Ha ha ha! Nice!" Wendy laughed.

Dipper gives carnie money, "One ball, please."

Ball game carnie gives Dipper a ball, "You only get one chance."

Wendy gives Dipper a thumbs up.

Dipper smiled, "And a-one and a-two and a-three!" He throws the ball; it misses, bounces back, and hits Wendy in the eye.

"AH! MY EYE!" Wendy shouts.

Dipper starts to panic, "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Wendy! Are you okay?"

"Does it look swollen?" Wendy asked, and Dipper notices she had a black eye.

Dipper continues to panic, "Everything's gonna be fine! Don't worry! I'll-I'll go get some ice!" He runs to the ice box, and gets ice, "Where is she, where is she?" He runs into Blendin Blandin and drops ice; scrapes it into the bag, "Hey, watch where you're going, man!"

Blendin grabs the time machine and runs off.

Dipper finishes scraping ice into bag and starts toward Wendy; stops when he hears Robbie.

Robbie smiled. "Just ease your eyeball into that freezy cone."

Wendy smiled, her eye in a snow cone, "Robbie, thanks. That's really sweet. The gesture, and the flavored syrup."

"Yeah, I was just here at the right place at the right time. Y'know, I've been meaning to ask you.. we've been spending a lot of time together and I was wondering if, maybe, you want to go out with me?" Robbie asked.

Wendy nodded, "Yeah, I guess so."

"Sweet!" Robbie cheered.

Dipper is horrified. A balloon shaped like a heart is popped by a dart behind him. All the ice falls out of the bag.

Mabel comes up to Dipper with Waddles, "Look, Dipper! I won my pet pig! His name is Waddles. I call 'im that because he waddles!"

"Everything is different now," Dipper sighs.

Mabel frowned, "What are you lookin' at?"

Dipper points at Robbie and Wendy getting on a ride called "Tunnel of Love and Corn-dogs".

"Oh..." Mabel sighs.


Night falls and the lights on the ferris wheel are turned on. Dipper lies down on the "Slopey Toss"

Mabel holds up Waddles, who is dressed as a doctor, "Paging Dr. Waddles, we got a boy here with a broken heart. Haha! Come on, man. These are the jokes."

"Mabel, do you ever wish you could go back and undo just one mistake?" Dipper asked.

Mabel laughs, "Nope! I do everything right, all the time!"

"... sometimes," Will looks down.

Dipper sighed, "I mean Wendy only went out with Robbie because he was there with the ice, and she needed the ice because of the baseball, and I would've had the ice if it wasn't for..." He gasps, "that guy! Hey, you! Toolbelt! You ruined my life!" He walks up to Blendin.

Blendin is confused, "Huh?"

"Don't huh me! I've seen you before! What's your deal? Are you following us around?" Dipper asked.

Mabel frowned, "...And why are you bald? What's that all about?"

"AAAAGH! My position has been COMPROMISED! Assuming stealth mode!" Blendin presses buttons on his watch, making his suit change to different backgrounds, "Color match! Initiating color match! Come on, dang it!" He takes out a red screwdriver and tries to fix it.

Mabel gasps, "That's amazing! Are you from the future or something?"

"Uh, NO! Who told you that?! MEMORY WIPE!" Blendin throws a baby wipe in Mabel's face.

Mabel looks at it, "This is a baby wipe."

"All right, you've cornered me. I'm... a time traveler," Blendin sighed.

Dipper asked, "So wait a minute, if you're from the future, do you have like a time machine, or something?"

"That's... kinda how it works..." Blendin admitted.

Dipper and Will smiled, "Can I borrow it?"

"Come on, can I use your time machine just once?" Dipper asked.

Blendin frowned, "No! Out of the question! You know, this is sensitive extremely complicated time equipment." He pulls out tape measure to show them.

"It looks like a tape measure," Dipper sighs.

Will frowned, "It's not a tape measure, Dipper... Blendin, please... just once. I just need to talk to my brother one more time, and I swear I'll help him! Please..."

"I don't know... I don't even know who you are... even though you look familiar," Blendin admits.

Dipper asked, "This making any sense to you?"

"I think he's just crazy," Mabel whispered.

Blendin sighed, "Oh! You don't believe me?" He pulls tape measure, disappears, then reappears a few seconds later in old fashioned clothes, "Guess where I was!"

Dipper and Mabel gasped, "Whoa!"

Blendin smiled, "That's right! 15 years ago there was a costume shop right here! One second." He disappears, then reappears in his normal suit, which is flaming, "Ah! Aw, heck! Pat! Pat down!" He pats the fire out.

"So, who are you again?" Mabel asked.

Blendin sighed, "Blendin Blandin, Time Anomaly Removal Crew year twenty sñeventy-twelve. My mission is to stop a series of time anomalies that are suppose to happen at this very location! But-but I don't see any anomalies! I don't know if it's some kind of paradox, or I'm just really tired..."

"You know, you sound like you could use a break," Dipper smiled.

Mabel nodded, "Definitely, definitely. Might we recommend one of the various attractions at the Mystery Fair?"

Blendin sighs, "You know what? What the heck! I'm worth it! But I've got my eye on you! Ehhh... ehhh... One please."

"Uh, sorry dude but you're gonna have to take your belt off for the ride. One of your tools might fly off and accidentally fix something." Soos apologized.

Blendin gives it to him, "Guard it with your life."

Soos nodded, "I will watch it like a hawk, dude."

He starts the ride and sets the belt on the barrel at his side.

Dipper reaches over and takes the belt.

Dipper, Mabel, Will, and Waddles are sitting at the poker table in the Shack with the time machine on the table.

Dipper smiled, "Here it is, Mabel. Our ticket to any moment in history."

"Let's go get two dodos and force them to make out!" Mabel smiled.

Dipper sighed, "No! We gotta be smart about this. All that paradox talk kinda freaked me out. All I'm gonna do is go back and fix my one mistake. If I don't miss that base ball throw, I won't hit Wendy in the eye, and Robbie won't comfort her, and they won't start going out."

"I'm coming, too! I wanna relive the greatest moment in my life: winning Waddles." She kisses Waddles.

Dipper pulls out tape, "See you later."

Mabel smiled, "See you earlier! Ha yuk yuk yuk!"

Dipper releases the tape and high fives Mabel, making them both freeze.


Dipper and Mabel reappear in same spot. Will and Waddles aren't there. Dipper's hat is on fire.

Dipper pats fire, "Ah! Ha! Ha!"

Dipper and Mabel smile at each other and run outside.

Stan shouts, "It's 12 o'clock! The dunk tank is now open! Step right up and dunk me folks! I'm talking to you, Cut-offs!"

Dipper smiled, "Do-over?"

"Do over!" Mabel smiled.

Dipper catches up with Wendy, "Hey, Wendy!"

"There you are. Hey, what happened to your hat?" Wendy asked.

Dipper sighed, "Uh, nothing. Hey, look! What's that?"

"Whoa! Check it out! I don't know if it's a duck or a panda, but I want one," Wendy smiled.

Dipper smiled, "One ball, please."

"You only get one chance."

Dipper whispers, "That's what you think... One panda-duck, comin' right up! Okay, Dipper, second chance, don't mess this up." He throws the ball, knocks down all the cans, "Yes!" The ball hits the back of the stand and bounces back and hits Wendy in the eye.

"AAAAHH! MY EYE!" Wendy yelps.

Dipper frowned, "What?!"

"Does it look swollen?" Wendy asked.

Dipper looks at his hands, "That's so weird..."

Mabel is feeding Waddles a caramel apple while Dipper talks to her, "The exact same thing happened twice; it was spooky."

"Oo, maybe it's a time-curse. Waddles, can you say "time-curse"?" Mabel asked.

Dipper frowned, "It is possible that the forces of time naturally conspire to undo any new outcomes? No, I just need to try again. Third time's the charm!"

"How hard could it be?" Mabel asked.

Dipper and Mabel pull the tape and disappear.

Dipper tries to win the game without hitting Wendy in the eye, and failing every time.


Mabel and Dipper are waiting near a popcorn machine, which Dipper is writing on.

Dipper sighed, "I just thought the wind speed.. factoring cotton candy..."

"Face it, Dipper, you're obviously fated to have a bad day at the fair, just like I'm fated to be with Waddles," She shows him the sweater she's knitting, which has a pig on the front.

Dipper frowned, "Like there's one variable missing..."

"What's a variable?" Mabel asked.

Dipper gasped, "That's it! I've figured out to win the toss, not hit Wendy, and stop Wendy and Robbie from going out!"

"Great! I'm gonna go win my pig again," Mabel starts to walks off.

Dipper looks at her, "Whoa whoa whoa, you can't leave, I need you for my plan!"

"But what about Waddles?" Mabel asked.

Dipper sighed, "It'll just take a few minutes, let's go!"

Later, Dipper is at the game, looking at the wind speeds and everything.

Wendy sighed, "Are you gonna go, man?"

"And a-one and a-two and a-uh!" He throws ball straight up.

Wendy frowned, "Ah! Dude! You missed!"

"Did I?"

The ball comes back down, rolls down the tent, flies up, hits the windgage, rolls down a pipe which Mabel lifts up, and flies at the dunk tank target. The ball hits the target and nothing happens The ball comes back and flies between Dipper and Wendy, knocks down all the cans, and bounces off the back of the stand, and breaks through the top of the tent.

Ball game Carnie sighs, "Your stuffed creature of indeterminate species, miss," He gives Wendy the duck-panda.

Wendy squeezes it, "Oh, awesome!"

Dipper catches the ball in his hat.

Robbie smiled, "There you are, Wendy!"

"Hey, Robbie," Wendy greets.

Robbie smiled, "So I was wondering it I.. you a..."

"Look what Dipper got for me!" Wendy smiled, showing him the duck-panda.

Robbie laughs, "Pfft. Whatever. Can't even tell what species it is. Stupid," He pulls his hood over face and walks away.

"What's his deal? Looks like I came to the fair with the right guy," Wendy smiled.

Bell game carnie shouted, "We have a winner!"

Mabel comes up behind Dipper, who gives her a thumbs up, "Anytime, broseph. Now to win my pig. AH!"

Sprott, "He's all yours! No one else's! Ol' 15-Poundy. Yours. Forever!"

Pacifica links leash onto 15-Poundy and pulls him away.

15-Poundy disobeys Pacifica, "SQEEEEEEEEEEEEAAALLLL!"

Mabel screams and runs away.

Dipper and Wendy are riding the Tunnel of Love and Corn dogs and laughing.

Wendy sighed, "That was even more awesome the third time around! Funnel cake! Let's go get some, Dipper!" She runs off.

Dipper looks at his twin, "Mabel, what is wrong?"

"We messed up the timeline! Pacifica saw the flyer and won Waddles before I did! She TOOK Waddles, Dipper!" Mabel shouted.

Dipper frowned, "Oh, Mabel, I'm sorry."

"It's okay. We just need to go back," She takes the time machine from Dipper, "and do things differently."

Dipper frowned, "Mabel! Wait." He takes the time machine back, "Look. I did the math. In any other timeline, Wendy ends up going out with Robbie. I can't mess up this day again!"

"But if we don't go, I'll lose Waddles forever!" She tries to take the time machine back.

Another car comes by and catches the tape, pulling it out a long way before letting go. Dipper and Mabel land flat on their faces on a dirt path.

Mabel screams, "AAAGH! Wait, why does it smell so bad in here?" She finds a door and opens it. They are in the portable toilet at the Mystery Fair, "Look, we're back in the present!"

Dipper frowned, "But which present?"

Wendy, with the panda-duck, smiles, "This is the best present ever!"

"Yes!" Dipper cheers.

15-Poundy, trying to get away from Pacifica, "SQUUUEEEEEAAALLLLL!"

"NO!" She chases Dipper, "Gimme that thing! Dipper, give it back!"

Dipper climbs to the top of the portable toilet, "Look, Mabel, it's over! Okay? Give it up! I've worked too hard to lose this!"

"But what about Waddles? He was my soulmate!" Mabel frowned.

Dipper sighed, "You said that about a ball of yarn once! Do you really want Wendy to date Robbie?"

"I don't know..." She starts to hit her head against the totem pole.

Dipper sighed, "You're not guilt-tripping me, Mabel. Not this time."

Mabel doesn't stop hitting her head against the pole.

"Come on, Mabel, I know you. You're gonna forget about this in a day!" He takes the time machine out of his pocket, "Here! Hey! I'll prove it!" He goes forward a day, "See?" Mabel is still hitting her head on the pole, "Okay, maybe you'll forget in a week..." He goes forward a week, no improvement. Dipper starts to sweat, "A month! She'll better in a month!" He goes forward a month.

Mabel , vines growing on her legs, "Waddles..." smack, "Waddles..." smack.

Soos, leading a tour group, "...And when you look at you're left, you'll see Miserable Mabel: a girl who went bonkers after her dreams were shattered by some heartless jerk. Oh, hey, Dipper!"

Dipper watches Mabel, "Uh... grrrr!"

He goes back. He is walking up to the ball game with Wendy.

Wendy smiled, "I don't know if it's a duck or a panda, but I want one!"

Dipper sighs, "Wendy, I just wanted to say that, well I just wanted say that people makes mistakes, and when they do, you should forgive them. And also that tight pants are overrated."

"Dude, you lost me," Wendy admits.

Dipper sighs, "I know... One ball, please."

"You only get one chance."

"...And a-one and a-two and a-huh!" He throws the ball, hitting Wendy.

Wendy yells, "AUUGH! MY EYE!"

"Hey, Wendy are you okay? You know this is the perfect time for me to ah... ask you something.." Robbie starts.

Dipper sighs, "It is done."

Mabel attacks him in a hug and lifts him up, "DIPPER! THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU! Hmmm!"

Waddles oinks the sound similar to "thank you".

Mabel smiled, "He's saying thank you in Pig! Aren't you, Waddles?"

Waddles oinks "thank you" two times and turns body around and kicks his legs.

Pacifica, being pecked by a chicken, "Ow-Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!..."

"I couldn't break your heart, Mabel. Besides, there's no way Wendy can date Robbie all summer, right?" Dipper asked.

Blendin takes the time machine, "YOU THREE!"

Dipper and Mabel yelp in surprise, and so does Waddles. Will just looks down at the floor.

Blendin frowned, "Do you have any idea, how many rules you just broke?! I'm asking; I wasn't there with you... it was probably a lot, right?"

Dundgren, he and Lolph appear next to Blendin, "Blendin Blandin..."

Blendin screams, "AAAAGH! The Time Paradox Avoidment Enforcement Squadron!"

Lolph grinned, "That's right, and our phones have been ringing off the hook! There are settlers high-fiving in the 1800's and calculators littered through eight centuries!"

Dundgren sighed, "You're under arrest for violation of the Time Traveler's Code of Conduct." He handcuffs him and leads him away.

"It was those kids! And... and that weird light blue haired boy!" Blendin smiled.

Lolph sighed, "That's just a boy, Blendin."

Blendin scowled, "No, he isn't! He knew what the time device was! I'll get you for this! I'll go back in time and make sure your parents never MEET!"

"Well, we're still here," Dipper sighed.

Mabel smiled, "Guess he forgot to go back."

"Ha, you suckers! Your pockets are empty and I'm still sittin' high and dry!" Stan laughed, "Boo! Ha, boo! I love it! Hey, biceps! I'm talking to you, haircut! Take you best shot!"

Lolph shoots Stan down and leaves.

The crowd goes wild!

Mabel sighed, "So I guess we never found out who was causing those time anomalies Blendin was looking for."

"Wait, Mabel... I think it was us," Dipper realized.

Mabel frowned, "Ugh, my brain hurts."

"Oh, geez, I gotta deal with this all summer?" Dipper asked.

Robbie, feeding Wendy caramel apple, "It's good; it's caramel."

Mabel smiled, "I'm on it." She points Waddles at the apple.

Waddles runs at Robbie, making him drop the apple, before they eats it.

Robbie backs into a table and spills a buck of hot water on himself, "My pants! They're shrinking!"

Everyone laughs.

Wendy laughed, "Oh man."

Dipper smiled, "That'll do pig. That'll do."

Will just stares at them, fidgeting with his fingers.
