Dipper wakes up and screams.
"I just had a horrible dream that Gideon stole the deed to the Mystery Shack, and kicked us out, and... we all had to move in with Soos' grandma?" Dipper was confused.
Soos smiled, "That was no dream, dude."
Dipper screams.
Everyone wakes up.
"Oh, Soos, your grandma is so adorable! And her skin is old lady soft." Mabel touches her skin, "Haaaahhh!"
Stan scolds her, "Mabel, quit being creepy! The news is finally on."
Shandra Jimenez, on the TV, "In a movement that has all of Gravity Falls buzzing, child psychic Gideon Gleeful," It shows a picture of a winking Gideon surrounded by a litter of playful puppies, "has taken surprise ownership of the Mystery Shack, previously belonging to area shyster, Stanford Pines."
It shows a picture of Stan in a devil costume surrounded by fire.
Stan laughed, "That picture's taken out of context."
"Now that you have the shack, what exactly are you planning to do with it?" Shandra asked.
Gideon smiled, "I have a big announcement to make today, and I'd like to cordially invite all the good people of Gravity Falls to join me. Free admission to anyone who wears their Gideon pins! It's my face!"
"I just can't believe Gideon beat us. Normally I'm able to save the day. This is all my fault," Dipper sighed.
Will looks over at him, "This isn't your fault. It's Gideon's."
"Don't worry, Dipper. Looks like Mabel's going to have to be the hero of the family now. I'll defeat Gideon with my grappling hook!" Mabel smiled.
Dipper stared at her, "Mabel, no offense, but that grappling hook has literally never helped us once."
"Oh yeah? Jelly grab!" Mabel shoots her grappling hook at a jar of jelly, causing it to break and splatter jelly on the walls.
"We gotta get the Shack back."
Gideon smiled, "Hello, Gravity Falls! Ladies and gentlemen! Today I am delighted to announce my plans for the former Mystery Shack. I give you... Gideonland!"
The Pines and Soos, "What?!"
"We're gonna turn this dirty ol' shack into three square miles of Gideon-tertainment. And introducin' our new mascot, Lil' Gideon Jr.!"
Bud Gleeful pulls off a cloak to reveal Waddles in a Gideon costume.
Gideon giggled, "Boom, he's a pig!"
"Waddles! You monster!" Mabel shouted.
"All right, that's it!" Stan pulls off his disguise.
The Pines, and Will, push their way into the crowd and run up the stage.
Stan scowled, "Listen up, people. Gideon's a fraud! This kid broke in and stole my property!"
"Arrest him, officers!" Mabel shouted.
Dipper nodded, "Yeah!"
"Such accusations! Mr. Pines, I recall you gave the property to me. Look, here's the deed right here!" Gideon pulls the deed out of his shirt as he says this.
snaps his fingers, and the guards get ready to kick the Pines off the stage. The first grabs a hold of Mabel.
Mabel yelps, "Hey!"
Dipper and Stan are grabbed by the two guards.
"Now get off my property, old man!" He slaps a Gideon pin on Stan.
The Pines get carried off the stage.
Gideon smiled, "Thanks for visiting Gideonland, friends! Don't come back, I don't care for y'all."
Everyone watches the ceremony through a chain-link fence then sigh as they lean on it. Dipper kicks a rock out of frustration.
"Don't worry, guys. We'll get the shack back somehow," Dipper sighed.
Wendy appears, "We better."
"Wendy!" Dipper smiled.
Wendy sighed, "If I can't work at the Shack, my dad's gonna force me to move upstate to work at my cousin's logging camp."
"What? You're leaving town? But we need you here!" Dipper shouted.
Soos nodded, "Yeah, especially Dipper because of his giant crush on—," Dipper glares at Soos, "...you... calyptus trees! Ha! The kid loves eucalyptus trees!"
There's a noise from the bushes.
Wendy sighed, "Oh man, guys. Don't look now."
Robbie emerges from the bushes holding a boombox, "Take me back, Wendy! My arms are too skinny to keep holding this boombox forever!"
Wendy mounts her bike, before riding away, "I was never here."
Robbie chases after her, "Have you been getting my texts? Do I need to send you more texts? Wendy!"
Mabel frowned, "Where are we gonna stay, Dipper? Where am I gonna put all my sweaters?"
"What's Stan gonna tell Mom and Dad?" Dipper asked.
Soos smiled, "Mr. Pines will figure something out. He always does."
Stan, on the phone, "Don't worry, your son and daughter are fine. Where're we staying? Uh, I put 'em up in this amazing four-star hotel!"
A cockroach goes up in flames after touching a broken toaster wire.
Stan smiled nervously, "What, uh, sure we got... plenty to eat. Relax, if I thought I couldn't take care of these kids, I'd send them back right away. Uh huh, you too." He puts the phone down.
"Grunkle Stan, can we order pizza?" Mabel asked.
Stan checks his pockets only to discover they're empty. Stan sighs.
Gideon is laughing as he examines book 2. Meanwhile, Waddles attempts to climb out the window.
Gideon blows a whistle, "You! Back to your corner!"
Waddles scampers to the corner and starts cringing and shivering. Bud Gleeful appears with his sad clown painting that Stan had stolen a few weeks prior.
Bud Gleeful sighed, "I've been meaning to ask you boy. Shouldn't you be celebratin' Gideonland instead of stickin' your head in that there book all day?"
"Father, have I ever told you the true nature of this book?" Gideon asked.
The scene transitions to someone writing Journal 2.
Gideon, narrating, "It was written many years ago by a brilliant unknown author who learned secrets too powerful for one man."
The Author is shown burying the book.
Gideon, narrating, "He hid his journals where he thought no one would ever find 'em."
The scene fades to the books Journal 1 and Journal 2 coming closer together with Gravity Falls on fire and Gideon in the background. After that it shows the six-fingered hand, but instead of it being gold, it portrays the universe.
Gideon, narrating, "Because he knew that if the journals were ever bought together, they would unleash a gateway to unimaginable power."
Gideon smiled, "Codes and maps had led me to believe that the other book is buried somewhere on this very property, and I intend to find it!"
"So that's why you wanted the Mystery Shack," Bud concluded.
Gideon nodded. "That's right, father, it's time to begin the search for the other journal!"
Stan walks into the room and clears his throat, "Kids, we've got to talk. Look I've been thinking and... I can't take care of you anymore. I don't have a house or a job. The plan is, you're goin' home. Your bus leaves tomorrow, here are your tickets."
"But Grunkle Stan, you can't give up!" Dipper shouted.
"Yeah dude, look at these faces!" Soos begins nudging Mabel, "Be cuter Mabel! Your summer depends on it!"
Stan frowned, "Look, I lost, okay? The best thing is for you to be with your parents. Sorry kids, Gideon won." He places Dipper and Mabel's bus tickets on the table, "Summer's over."
"Mr. Pines! RECONSIDER!" Soos after him.
Dipper sighed, "Mabel, that's enough. If Stan won't get our home back from Gideon, then we'll have to do it ourselves."
"Gideon may have the upper hand, but we have something he doesn't," Mabel smiled.
Dipper holds out journal, "The journal!"
Mabel holding out grappling hook; Simultaneously, "A grappling hoo- oh. The Journal... Journal!"
Dipper sighed, "Alright, the bus to take us out of Gravity Falls comes at sundown. If we wanna stay in town we've got to get past those guards, make it through the fence, and get Gideon to hand over that deed."
"Leave that to Mabel. Wa-chaw!" Mabel shoots the grappling hook.
It hits a tree branch, then ricochets to Dipper. It hits him in the face.
Dipper yelps in pain, "Ah! Now will you admit the grappling hook is useless?!"
"Nope!" Mabel grinned.
Dipper sighed, as all three of them gather around the journal, "Okay. What can we use to defeat Gideon? Let's see... Barf fairy?"
"Yeah!" Mabel cheered.
Dipper shakes his head, "Nope. Butternut Squash with a Human Face and Emotions?"
"Yeah!" Mabel cheers.
Dipper sighed, "Nope."
He turns to a page that is apart of the blueprint for the portal, making Will stiffen and look at the other two, his breath getting more heavy as he looks at it more.
"Whoa, what's this?" Mabel asked.
Dipper sighed, "I stared at this page for hours. It seems like a blueprint to build some kind of strange futuristic super-weapon-"
"BORING! To defeat those guards we need some kind of army," Mabel smiled.
Dipper gasped, "... Wait a minute! An army! Mabel, that's it! The gnomes!"
"Uhh..." Mabel nervously tugs her sweater's collar.
Dipper smiled, "I think this is their hiding spot."
"I wonder what Gnomes do out here all alone in the forest?" Mabel wondered aloud.
They see Jeff bathing in squirrels.
"Do do do..." Jeff sees them, "Aah! This... this is normal. This is normal for gnomes. Scrub scrub." He scrubs his armpit with a squirrel.
Dipper and Mabel look at each other disgusted, and look back at Jeff.
"Well, well, well. Look who came crawlin' back. Take five, Chris." A squirrel jumps out of the tub, "You guys keep doin' what you're doin'. So, changed your mind about marryin' me, did ya Mabel?"
Mabel grimaced, "Ew, hardly. We need your help. And seriously, ew!"
"You want our help? After you left me at the alter? No dice!" Jeff shouted.
Will looks at the twins, "Let me take care of this."
"Okay..." The Twins back away.
Will steps towards Jeff, "Look, if we don't get the shack back, then Sixer won't be here, and... that won't be good for when... or if... it happens."
"It?" The Twins look at each other, confused.
Jeff nodded, "I understand your concern... but is this really our problem?"
"Do you want it to happen or not? Because if Sixer isn't here..." Will looks down, biting into the inside of his bottom lip, "It'll be chaos... forever. You know this..."
Jeff sighed, "Very well. I'll do as you say."
"Thank you..."
"Where are you, Journal?" Gideon takes shovel and starts to dig) Where are you!"
Bud sighed, "Boy, I hate to interrupt you, but you have some guests."
"What?" Gideon asked.
Dipper scowled, "Give us the deed to the shack, Gideon, or else."
"Am I supposed to say, "Or else what?" Gideon asked.
Mabel nodded, "Yes, you are supposed to say that." She yells, "Now!"
Suddenly an army of gnomes surround Gideon.
Gideon gasps.
"You're surrounded by an unstoppable gnome army, now give us back our deed and get off our property!" Dipper shouted.
Gideon sighs, "Very well. I suppose this deed belongs to—"
Gideon pulls out a whistle and blows it and all the gnomes covers their ears.
Gideon laughed, "Ha! What do you know! Works on gnomes too!"
Before Gideon can blow the whistle again, it gets smashed to the ground.
"Star Boy..." Will glared at him, getting in front of the twins.
Gideon smiled, "Well look who it is! Did you enjoy having to fight your own brother?"
"Shut it, Star Boy! You give the deed back right now, or else..." Will growled.
Gideon snickered, "Or else what?"
"Or else... I'll burn it."
Gideon stares at him, "You can't."
"I can, and I will... unless you give us the deed," Will growled.
Gideon sighed, throwing the deed to the floor, "Well... it looks like you've actually won..."
Gideon smiles, before running off into the forest, "But you're not taking me to prison!"
"Star Boy... you are an idiot," Will sighed, following him into the forest.
Gideon scowled, "Why do you say that?"
"You're surrounded. Everyone, Gideon has been lying to you. He also... was going to try to kill me," Will snapped his fingers, and Gideon had a knife in his hand.
Gideon yelped, looking down at the knife in his hand, before looking at the townsfolk, "Please, I... It's not what it looks like... What are you gonna do with me?"
Durland looked over at Tyler, "Tyler?"
"Get 'im..." Tyler wipes his tears, "Get 'im!"
Blubs sighed, "Lil' Gideon, you are under arrest for conspiracy, fraud, attempted murder, "and breaking our hearts. Durland, the tiny handcuffs."
Durland puts the tiny handcuffs on Gideon, "Wha- no! Let go of me! Ow! Ow! Ow! No! No! Watch the hair! You can't do this to me! Y'all are sheep! You need me! I'll be back! You'll hear from my lawyers!"
Shandra sighed, "There you have it. Local hero Stanford Pines has just exposed Li'l Gideon as a fraud. Anything you have to say to the town, Stanford?"
"The Mystery Shack is back, baby!"
Mabel and Dipper are unpacking, while Will sits down between their beds.
Mabel smiled, "Hey, Grunkle Stan!"
"Uh, you kiddos settlin' back in okay?" Stan asked.
Mabel nodded, "Yep! All of my favorite moldy spots on the ceiling are still there! Even you, Daryl."
"Hey, Grunkle Stan, me and Mabel have been talking, And I think there's something we should finally tell you. This is a journal I found in the woods." Dipper hands Stan the journal to peruse, "It talks about all the crazy stuff that goes on in Gravity Falls. Gideon nearly destroyed the whole town trying to find it. I don't know what it means, or who wrote it. But, after all we've been through, maybe you should finally know about it."
Stan solemnly closes the book, "I'm glad you showed me this, Dipper... AHAHAHA! Now I know where you've been getting it all from! Spookums and monsters. This spooky book has been filling your head with crazy conspiracies!"
"But it's all real!" Dipper shouted.
Stan laughed, "Haha. You gotta quit readin' this fantasy nonsense for your own good. Although some of these would make great attractions! Can't come up with this stuff! Mind if I borrow this?" Stan gets up, taking the book with him and starts to leave, "Magic book." He laughs, "Ridiculous!"
Dipper yelped, "Stan, I need it!"
"Dipper, you don't need that book! Don't you see? On your own you defeated a giant robot with nothing but your bare hands! You're a hero whether you've got that journal or not!" Mabel smiled.
Dipper sighed, "Whoa. Thanks, Mabel. I still want it back though."
"I'm sure you'll get it back. What would a boring old man like Stan want with that book anyway?" Mabel asked.
Will gets up, and follows Stan.
Stan enters a code to enter the doorway behind the vending machine. He climbs down a set of stairs to an elevator. He opens a panel besides the elevator and inputs the alchemical symbols for "composition," "pulverize," "digestion," and "fusion" followed by the 'down' button. He enters and the elevator and goes to the third floor. Stan exits into a room filled with complex looking machines and sensors. He walks past them to a desk and switchboard. He opens the desk and pulls out a book, revealing it to be Journal #1.
Stan smiled, "After all these years."
Stan sets down his journal, Journal #2, which he had swiped from Gideon when he picked up the deed to the Mystery Shack, and Journal #3.
"Finally, I have them all."
Stan puts together Journals 1, 2, and 3, revealing a complex image algorithm. He confers it as he presses buttons and switches. A machine beyond the glass of the switchboard lights up.
"It's working!"
Stan rushes to the room with the machine and pushes a large lever in front of it. The machine crackles with large bursts of electricity sending beams of light in every direction, and finally turns on completely; a bright, white light emanating from it's central hole, blowing a steady stream of air at Stan. Stan stands proudly in front of it. His hands on his hips, and smiles in satisfaction.
"Here we go."
A/N: EEEEEEEEEEE! I'm so excited! I just want to write Ford trying to kill Will now, but I can't. Augh! Oh well... at least we have some good episodes coming up! ... and maybe a small bit in an episode where the twins ask Will a few things. I just need to figure out what they ask. Comments tell me what you want the twins to ask Will would be nice. Anyway... bye! - K.
