Welcome all and May the 4th be with you. Sorry but as a huge Star Wars nerd, I couldn't help but find this date the best to update now that I have the next chapter of this and the sister story completed. Wow this story is over a year old and it has been a year since it was updated. I can't apologize enough to all my readers. Truthfully, I am lucky I manage to get any writing done this pass few months. While the world and the US is in the middle of a pandemic, I wasn't stuck at home but working and working long, long hours. I am not a doctor or nurse as they really are the people you should be thanking more then what I do. Even with the issues that have come up (and I am in perfect health so don't worry about that) I got these two chapters done and honestly, Wolf and I are proud of them. So even with a year behind in everything (don't hate me) I hope the returning chapter will be worth the wait. But before we get to the next chapter a few other notes that need to be said so if you aren't interested then feel free to just skip ahead, you won't hurt my feelings.

Once again two people got the code for last chapter right: Nomadskout8 and Wolfpackersson09. Part of me is glad you guys are getting it while another part is sad no one else is trying. Oh well.

Last chapter was surprising for everyone because nearly everyone didn't see the fact Paradox and Pacifica are one and the same. It was amusing to see everyone in the reviews telling me that. It is the best when a twist you put into a story come up the way you want and everyone reacts to it. Glad you all approve of the twist at least. Paradox is no doubt my favorite character in this story.

The Cowardly Christian as the one that inspired this whole story. She not only approves but actually likes the story so far. So now the stakes for an even better story have gone way up. You might not be a fan of this chapter/episode but I hope you at least wont hate me for this one. While I don't agree with you on it, I'm not getting into a debate as I feel we would just be too stubborn to change the other's mind. Still I hope you can somewhat enjoy the chapter and the way we did it.

And one final yet most important shoutout. As I am sure you no doubt notice, the story has a new cover page of our lovable crazy demi-god. Yes that is Paradox and I am loving how she was made. The artist who made her goes by the tag of HaH Studios and she did an amazing job. Not only was the art great, I also had a commission made for the song Paradox did in the chapter she first appeared. She made it more intense then I can imagine and at this moment of this chapter the video has over 2800 views and 218 likes. Go check it out and see if we can't increase those numbers. The link to the video is in my profile. Trust me it will be worth it.

But the shameless/free advertisement is done and now we can get onto the actual story. If you manage to stay long enough to read all of that then you have my thanks now enjoy the real show.

Strange Engagement

-Chapter Six: A Lumberjack's Guild to Time Traveling-

It was a warm sunny day where the underworld group and the Pines twins were watching a surprising scene. In the field not far from the Mystery Shack a crew of construction workers was putting together what they saw was becoming a fair. However, they noticed that quality was sorely lacking with the rides and stand looking like they could fall apart any minute. If it wasn't for the fact this was clearly a human-built fair, it wouldn't look too out of place in the underworld. Stan stood next to the group, looking very pleased with himself. "See kids, the cheapest fair money can rent. I spared every expense."

Rias hummed at this, studying the fair and how the only thing that would make it different than one back home was the décor. Junior and Mini were comparing to the old renaissance fairs their parents often took them when they were younger. Since it was always in Mandy's hometown and how they made it feel like it was the middle ages, it reminded a lot of what Stan was pulling off. Mimi held up a scorecard showing a '6' to show her opinion, getting a small laugh from Lilith. It was then did she notice one member of their group wasn't there once she didn't hear once complaint or ridicule, she would no doubt reveal. "Hey, where's Chi?" Lilith asked, glancing around.

Stan smirked, "I might have mentioned aloud that the sky tram might be a good romantic spot for couples and is testing to see if it was 'up to her standards'."

As if on cue they all heard a loud snap, followed by a shrill scream and finally a crash right behind them. They turned to see a sky tram car, crushed by the sudden fall before Chi shakenly pulled herself up into view, her hair a mess and glaring at Stan. "You're lucky I don't have any bones otherwise they would be broken like your stupid ride."

Stan just laughed as the daughter of Aku climbed out. "Listen I got a job for you guys; I printed off a bunch of fake safety inspection certificates. Slap one on anything that looks like a lawsuit."

He handed them to his great-niece and nephew, who looked a bit concerned. "Grunkle Stan, is that legal?" Mabel being the one to voice their concerns.

"When there's no cops around, anything's legal," Stan advised with a shrug.

Rias hummed again, "you know Stan, I'm sure my father would love to have you organize a fair such as this in the underworld."

Stan shrugged again, "well I doubt they'll let me in heaven unless I manage to steal a halo or something. And I got that 'get out of eternal torture' free card so it's not like I'll have a bad time down there. It might keep me from being bored."

Stan then called out to his handyman, "Soos! How's that dunk tank coming along?"

Walking over he found Soos wearing a welding mask and using a blowtorch on the target arm of the dunk tank. "Almost ready to go Mr. Pines" Soos answered after he lifted the mask.

Grunkle Stan tested it out a couple of times by knocking the bullseye and saw that the sit jiggled but didn't drop down. He laughed at this victory and both for the money he would earn as well as the fun he would have. "Soos, you have this thing rigged from here to Timbuktu! There's nothing on earth that could knock me down!"

"Yeah expect for a futurist laser arm cannon," Soos agreed before he adds, "and maybe some of the kids magic or powers."

Stan frowned, knowing that might be the case and he doubts any would listen if he asked any of them not to dunk him, He figured he better be careful and not egg any of them on like he planned for the other people in town. Now to them he was planning on being a jackass for fun and to get them to spend money to try and dunk him. Speaking of which he checked the toolbox to make sure his protective barrier was secure. "Hey Soos, you haven't seen my red screwdriver, have you? Darn thing's missing."

"Maybe some paranormal creature took it" Soos suggested since he didn't know where the tool was.

"None of that Soos," Stan warned since he couldn't fake such things weren't real anymore. "We don't want people to hear and freak out."

But the search was in vain as it was in the hands of something else. Hiding behind the portable toilets was a balding man wearing goggles that hide his eyes with a tool belt and wearing a gray jumpsuit. He held up his watch and spoke into it, "the mission is proceeding as plan, over." The man then took the screwdriver and adjusted something on the watch. Then his suit began to change into the background of a forest and then a lake at night before it became a perfect reflection of what was behind him. He was now nearly completely invisible except for the head. The man took a quick glance around and walked into the fair once more.

(scene change)

Hours later the fair was up and running and people of the town have already started gathering and going to the different rides and stands. Stan was in the dunk tank and grinning like a mad man. He took a megaphone and shouted, "It's twelve o'clock! The Dunk Tank is Open!" he caused a loud feedback before he called out, "Step right up and dunk me, folks. I'm talking to you cut off!" he laughed and also insulted more town folk, "That's right muffin top, high pants; who wants a piece of me?"

Many of the people gathering to the dunk tank were angry at his words and threw a large number of baseballs at once. Several hit the target, others tried to hit Stan but the balls bounced off the target and shield while he laughed behind its protection. "Come back anytime folks!"

Not far away Dani and Lilith were watching this happen. "So we're totally gonna dunk him right?" the ghost girl asked the succubus.

"Oh totally," Lilith agreed at once. "Let him have his fun first. It'll make the fall much more satisfying."

The two continued to explore the fairgrounds, walking pass Dipper and Wendy at a corndog stand getting some corndogs that were shaped like question marks. "How did they get them into this shape?" Dipper asked aloud, looking at his food. "It's unnatural."

"But Dipper there's so…" Wendy paused before she lifted her question mark shaped corndog so it was right next to a banner making it ask, "Delicious?"

This caused the two to laugh, Wendy feeling a bit of pride inside of how she made that work so well. Wendy still felt it strange being on the other end of things as she asked Dipper out, and it was a simple enough thing, with the only flaw in Wendy's opinion was that Dipper didn't know it was a date. But things were good, but Dipper then noticed something.

"Hey, there's some mustard on your shirt." Wendy noticed when Dipper pointed it out that there was indeed a bit of mustard on her usual plaid shirt.

"Oh, thanks man, be right back after I take care of this," Wendy said as she went to look for a napkin or something to wipe off the mustard before it stains, even if Dipper was younger and not seeing it as a date, wouldn't be a good thing to look like a total slob. She was a bit away from Dipper when someone handed her a napkin. "Thanks, Rias."

"You're welcome." Rias handed the napkin to Wendy to help her wipe off the mustard and decided to tease a little bit. "So, I see you and Dipper are getting a little romantic at the fair, should I be worried or upset?"

"Neither since you or Lilith could make it into a threesome and you offered, but now that we're here things are going pretty well," Wendy admitted as she stayed cool, but Rias knew the lumberjack girl enough to know when she was excited, and the slight tone of her voice showed it. Though Wendy also added, "still surprised I managed to ask since I was kind of nervous."

(Flashback)

Wendy and Dipper were at the cash register just chilling. Well, Dipper was while Wendy was nervous on the inside. "So, Stan's holding some kind of Mystery Fair here at the Shack, wanna hang out?"

"Hmm, I guess the last couple of days with the whole fiancée situation and Paradox has been pretty stressful, but sure, maybe a little mindless fun is good and we haven't hung out in a while," Dipper said causing Wendy to smile internally before she offered a fist bump which Dipper returned.

"Sure thing dude," Wendy said, once again mentally celebrating that she has a date to the fair, and with the guy that, though younger, was a great catch.

(Flashback End)

"He doesn't know it, but I'm going to milk this day for all its worth." Wendy certainly intended to do so, and why shouldn't she? She had to deal with stress every day of the week, so why not blow a little steam?

"Glad to hear it, and I think I held you up long enough," Rias said as Wendy left to get back to Dipper and milk this unofficial date for all its worth until he had to go on official dates with his fiancées to better deepen their bonds.

Wendy found Dipper again with not only his sister but Dani, Junior and Mini as well. She could overhear what they were saying, "There are a ton of things to do here and we can all do them toget-Oh my gosh a pig!"

The group plus Wendy blinked as Mabel noticed a posted filer of 'Win a Pig' on a wooden pole. Without another word Mabel ran right pass them towards the stand the flier mentioned, the female Pines twin bumping into people and knocking things out of their hands. This included the cotton candy Chi got to share with Mimi, the demon girl shouting a loud, "Hey!" at Mabel's retreating form. She almost ran into Dani, but the ghost girl noticed her at the last second and went intangible, allowing Mabel to pass right through her. Dani blinked at the near-miss before following Mabel to a stand where a farmer dressed like an old fashion carney stood on a box above several small pigs. "If you can guess the critter's weight, you can take the critter home!"

Mabel leaned over the side as she inspected the pigs. "What's going on Mabel?" Dani asked, looking at her friend confused.

"I'm gonna get me a pig," Mabel explained before her eyes meet one pig, she found to be very cute, sitting nicely and making eye contact with her. Her mouth opens as the pig oinks in a cute way that sounded like something to Mabel. "He said Mable! Either that or doorbell. Did you hear Mabel, Dani?"

"I heard Mabel," Dani confirmed, beaming at her friend possibly gaining a loyal pet or possibly a familiar.

Mabel turned back to the pig in question and asked it, "did you say Mabel or doorbell?"

The pig oinked the same way again, getting Mabel to nearly squeal in joy. They, however, heard a laugh behind them and turned to see none other than Pacifica Northwest. "Oh looks like Mabel has found her real twin."

Both girls glared at her, the rich blond walking pass still laughing and not caring for their reactions. If anything she seems to enjoy it. "Pacifica," Mabel hissed in annoyance.

"Man I really hate that rich tool," Dani muttered aloud.

Mable decided not to let her ruin her moment, in fact, she was determined. "Sir," Mabel said to the farmer in charge. "I must have that pig."

The farmer blinked and looked to the pig she was pointing too. "Ah, old fifteen poundy. So, how much you guessing he weighs?"

Dani and Mabel blinked, not sure if the man realized he just gave away the answer. Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth Mabel said, "umm…fifteen pounds?"

The man stared, his eye slightly wide and taken aback at how easily she got the answer right. "Are you some kind of witch?" he asked before he picked the pig up and handed it to her. "Welp, here's your pig."

Mabel held the pig in her arms, the pig oinking in joy. Mabel beamed and hugged her new pet while the other people in the fair that noticed clapped for her. Dani patted her friend's back, happy for her. The moment was ruined when the farmer held out a knife and fork to Mabel. "And you're be needing these."

Both girls glared at the man, who clearly wasn't reading the mood even now. "No? Suit yourself."

Both girls ran off, Mabel keeping a hold on her pet, wanting to show him off to the others.

(scene change)

While this was happening, Wendy walked over to Dipper, Junior, and Mini. "She seems excited for that pig I guess," she said to break the ice. "Hey Junior, hey Mini; how you guys enjoying the fair?"

Junior shrugged, "it's not that bad actually. We've seen crazier fairs, to be honest. And in worst safety conditions like the few fairs dad took us when he's showing some of his work."

Mini nodded, "while Mr. Pines is a penny-pincher and conman to the soul, he has a bit of a conscious and doesn't wish harm upon those that visit his fair."

"I think that's more to avoid lawsuits but that's my opinion," Junior added, to which Dipper nodded in agreement. The son of the reaper pointed his thumb over to a different ride, "Mini and I plan to hit a few more rides. Hopefully, before Mabel comes back and asks me to go on them with her."

Dipper chuckled as he watched them go. He glanced at Wendy as they started off again, "hopefully he can have some fun before Mabel tries to drag him to hang out with her. I'm surprised none of the other girls made me go with them on rides yet."

He didn't see the wince Wendy had as she knew that might be a possibility. She knew Rias would be fine for a bit and allow her the time/date with Dipper but she couldn't be sure about the others…besides Chi who wouldn't bother doing anything with anyone other than Mimi. Looking for a distraction, Wendy spotted something, "Hey check it out." She pointed to the top of a ball throwing game where a line of stuff toys laid. "I don't know if it's a duck or a panda, but I want one."

"Grunkle told me a trick to these," Dipper told her, "Just aim for the carney's head and take the prize when he's unconscious."

Wendy laughed, "Nice."

They walked to the stand and saw two tables with steel bottles they had to knock down. While Wendy was sure she could easily knock them down in one go, she figured she can let Dipper try. Mostly so she can feel like he won the prize for her. Turning to her friend said, "care to take a shot dude?"

"Sure," Dipper said as he retrieved a ticket for the game. "One ball please."

"You only get one chance," the carney said taking the ticket and handing Dipper a baseball.

Wendy gave him the thumbs up before Dipper pulled back and threw the baseball. The throw, however, was short and it hit the front of the wooden table the bottle was standing on. This forced the ball to bounce back with quite a bit of force still behind it, heading right for them. Dipper was forced to duck while Wendy jerked to the side to avoid it. "Okay…my bad," Dipper said as he got back up.

"Hey, dude; don't sweat it," Wendy said to make it seem like it was no big deal. "Accidents happen. Besides even if you missed that was a heck of a strong throw."

Dipper chuckled at the compliment, making Wendy happy she was able to keep his spirits up. Their moment was however ruined when someone called out, "Hey! Who threw this!?"

They turned to see Robbie marching over towards them, the baseball in one hand, a snow cone in the other and now sporting a black eye. It wasn't hard to connect the dots at what happened. Wendy held back a wince not only for her friend getting hurt but also because Dipper was the cause. "Hey man, you okay?" she asked to try and do damage control.

"Who threw this!?" Robbie repeated angrily. Looking at them before spotting Dipper. "It was you wasn't it?"

"Dude chill," Wendy all but ordered her friend, stepping up since she knew Robbie wasn't thinking straight. "It was just an accident."

"Oh please," Robbie scoffed. "You wouldn't be saying that if it was you that was hit."

"Yes I would," Wendy said firmly, her hands on her hips. And she meant it too even if it wasn't because of her crush if one of her friends hit her like that she wouldn't be too made since it was an accident. "No one was trying to hit you and no one wants to hurt you like that. So calm down before you do something stupid."

Robbie glared at Dipper, not listening to Wendy. Dipper tried to calm down the older teen, "I'm sorry you got hit. Trust me I didn't mean for that to happen. Why don't we put this behind us and enjoy the rest of the fair?"

This was a mistake.

Robbie tossed the ball to the game carny and then held up his snow cone. "Sure we can." And suddenly he reached out and ripped Dipper's hat off before he smashed the snow cone on top of Dipper's head before slamming the hat back into place. "After some payback."

"Dipper!" Wendy shouts as she quickly lifted his messy hat and worked on getting rid of the mess Robbie made. She wanted to get some payback for the dick move Robbie just did, but her crush came first. "Dipper are you okay?"

Dipper was on the verge of tears, feeling the sticky syrup and melting ice covering his head, and worst all more people were starting to notice the commotion. "I-I-I…" Dipper could barely speak, before trying to back away from them. He ended up bumping into Manly Dan, knocking him over and right into a box filled with stuff toys for prizes. The toys ripped over by the sudden impact and now covered him in cotton. Dipper got up to see even more people started to take notice of him. He stared eyes wide as a few of them were laughing and pointing at him. He didn't try and stop the tears as he turned and ran from the fair as fast as he could.

Robbie smirked, feeling very pleased with himself. He didn't notice Wendy turning towards him before she punched him right in the face, giving him a second black eye and knocking him out. Wendy turned back and started to run after her crush. "Dipper!"

But as she started to catch up, a bald man in the grey jumpsuit got in her way, forcing her to knock him aside. "Out of the way! Dipper!" she called out, but she couldn't find any sign of him.

She mentally cursed as she wondered where Dipper could have gone with the fact that she lost him. Robbie had to choose to be a dick then, even though Dipper did help Robbie and the rest out by doing things like killing the Wendigo.

"Great, now what do I do?" Wendy asked herself as she tried to think about where Dipper would go or what to do now, especially since her date was ruined because of an accident.

"I just saw Dipper running off, what happened Wendy?" Rias showed up and asked as Wendy felt like crying. Wendy looked at her fellow redhead looking like crap.

"Robbie decided to humiliate Dipper after a bad throw, and now I lost him. So much for a good day for both of us." Wendy kicked a nearby stone without much force as she slumped her shoulders in defeat.

(scene change)

Hours later the fair was slowing down as evening came. All the stands and rides turned their lights on, and the fair wasn't as busy as it was when the day started. Wendy could be found laying across the ski ball game, a blank yet ashamed look on her face. "Aaah…are you gonna move?"

This was asked by a large man, mostly known by the townsfolk as 'Free Pizza guy' due to his favorite shirt and love of pizza, who was trying to play the game but Wendy made that impossible. All Wendy did was groan, making the man slump in defeat and walked away. Wendy didn't even notice when Rias leaned into view, "I would ask if you're okay, but I know that you aren't."

Wendy glanced up at her friend, "still can't find him?"

Rias frowned and shook her head. "We can't find him anywhere."

Wendy pulled at her hat and gave a short-frustrated scream. "I can't believe that happen! I just wanted a small date with him, even if he didn't know it. I just wish can go back and fix everything."

"It's not your fault," Rias said calmly, reaching out and rubbing her shoulder.

Wendy took a deep breath to calm down. Sitting up she said, "I know, its Robbie's for attacking Dipper. I could have caught up to Dipper and help him if I didn't run into that stupid guy."

"What guy?" Rias asked, not knowing this part of the story.

"A dumb guy in a gray tracksuit that got in my way," Wendy reply with a huff. But she paused when she noticed something out of the corner of her eye. She jumped up as points to someone, "That's the guy right there!"

Rias blink and followed Wendy's finger to the said man she described. Without a moment to lose Wendy ran up and turn the man around with Rias quickly following behind her. "Hey, you! You ruined everything!"

"Who are you?" Rias asked with narrow eyes. "I've seen you around town; are you stalking our friends?"

The man seems to panic more than anything else, "Ah my position has been compromised. Assuming stealth mode."

He started to twist his match and they saw his gray jumpsuit changed to a layer of color much like a TV show signal going out, before becoming a scene from the woods and then town itself. This causes the girls to take a step back in surprise. Then it seemed to go back to the gray and the man was upset, "dang-it!" he took out a red screwdriver and try to make adjustments to the watch.

"What the hell was that?" Wendy asked the question that was on their mind.

"That wasn't magic," Rias said studying the man. "How did you have this level of technology?"

The man started to panic again and sweat at this question, "ah ah…I…memory wipe!" he then threw a wipe that landed on Rias' face. Rias was stunned before she took the wipe off and pointed out, "this is just a baby wipe."

The man sighed and sat down on a stack of hay, "Alright you cornered me. I'm a time traveler from the future."

Wendy gave him a deadpan look, "wow we really had to beat the answer out of you." Then blinked as what he said caught up to her. "Wait a minute if you're from the future then you have a time machine or something?"

"That's kinda how it works," The man replied with a shrug.

Wendy and Rias shared a glance before they gain identical smirks with a plan in mind. "Yeah right," Wendy said, getting the man to look surprised at him.

"The watch is an impressive piece of technology" Rias added in a regal tone that she perfected in the Underworld. "But I have doubts that any sort of time traveling machine exists let alone easy to use."

"Hey, it's not easy!" the man objected, getting to his feet and pulling a tape measure out. "This is sensitive and extremely complicated time equipment."

The girls stared at the machine in question before Wendy pointed out, "That's a tape measure."

"You shut your time mouth!" the man shouted pointing to Wendy, angry flashing across his face.

Wendy and Rias smirked again before Wendy went in for the kill, "oh yeah? Prove it."

"I will!" the man stated firmly, accepting the challenge. He pulled back the tape of the machine before he realized it. His body was covered in a blue light before he vanished in a flash.

The girls shared a small laugh between them. "That was easy," Wendy joked.

Rias sighed, "I'm almost sad that he didn't make it a bigger challenge for us."

A few seconds later he reappeared wearing an outfit from the renaissance era. "Guess where I was?"

The pair gasped seeing him now, "That's right, fifteen years ago there was a costume store right here. One second," he then vanished with his time machine.

Rias looked to Wendy, "was there a costume store here?"

"Oh yeah," Wendy confirmed for her. "It was pretty popular even if a bit out of the way. It ended up burning down by a sudden unexpected fire that appeared overnight."

In a flash the man appeared, this time his head and suit had small flames on it, forcing him to pat the flames out. "I think I know what happened," Rias said taken aback by the apparent destruction of property they might have caused even if indirectly. "Okay, you convinced us that you are telling the truth. Who are you then and why are you here?"

The man took out an id badge, "Blendin Blandin, time anomaly removal crew, year Twenty, sneventy, twelve." Blendin then puts his badge away and explained, "my mission is to stop a series of time anomalies that supposed to happen at his very location. But I don't see any anomalies. I don't know if it's some sort of paradox or if I'm just really tired."

Blendin sat down, rubbing his head while the girls shared another look, once again a plan forming. "You know," Wendy said, getting Blendin's attention. "You sound like you could use a break."

"Oh yes, since you have been working so hard without anyone knowing" Rias agreed, holding up some tickets. "May I recommend various attractions at the mystery fair? On us of course."

"You know what?" Blendin asked standing up again and grinning, "What the heck? I'm worth it." He took the offered tickets and started off. He might have revealed too much but they didn't seem too interested in his time machine. It was odd but he wasn't gonna look a time horse in the mouth.

Rias and Wendy watched him leave, a smirk on both of their faces. "You got it?" Rias asked after a minute.

Wendy chuckled and held up the time machine. "I got it."

Rias giggle, very pleased with herself. "Oh Wendy, we got to do stuff like this more often."

"Girl he doesn't suspect a thing," Wendy said before they both headed to the empty Mystery Shack to study the time machine and get it to work. All the while Blendin started enjoying the barrel ride, never noticing that his time machine had been stolen by two teenage girls, one of which was the daughter of the devil.

(Scene Change)

"Dude, we now have a free ride to any moment in history," Wendy said as she smirked at the idea of going back to any moment in time and have some fun.

"Yes, but what to do with it? On the one hand, we could do something silly like getting two dodos and repopulate their species, or you can just avoid the paradox situation and simply go back and have the perfect day with Dipper." Rias suggested and that was what Wendy liked to hear, the two redheads agreed that this was probably the best way to use a time machine that is still completely irresponsible.

"Sure thing, how about you do the honors and I can start working on getting in the action," Wendy said as Rias studied the time-traveling tape measure and figured things out. She pulled the appropriate amount and time started to rewind for the two.

"The Dunk Tank is now open! Step right up and test your luck! I'm talking to you cut off!" Stan's voice was heard as Wendy and Rias felt proud in their successful time travel, though Wendy had to pat down some flames from the initial travel, but at least they made it to their intended destination.

"Alright, you go have fun and I'll go for the do-over agreed?" Wendy asked as Rias smirked, knowing she was also going to have some fun of her own.

"Agreed, go enjoy yourself."

Wendy ran off to join Dipper once again while Rias decided to find a different attraction she didn't get a chance to enjoy as she spent most of her time trying to find Dipper. As she walked pass an excited Mabel and Dani as they raced to a stand where you can win pigs. She stopped to watch them while they found a perfect pig for them. She giggled at how Mabel was acting but she will admit the pig was very cute. Her musing was broken when she heard someone else spoke to her friends. Glancing over she saw it was Pacifica Northwest, the girl that Mabel got into a confrontation with on Pioneer Day. "Oh, looks like Mabel has found her real tw-what is this?" she suddenly cut herself off, glancing around confused. "An Illusion?"

The girls looked at her for a few moments before Mabel asked, "are you okay?"

Pacifica ignored them and walked off, rubbing her chin while muttering to herself. "I know daddy says that reality is an illusion but am I in one right now?"

Rias raised a brow at this, watching the girl walk off but shrugged since she didn't think it was that important.

(scene change)

Wendy smiled as she planned out what to do this time around. The meet up went off without a hitch with the only difference was Dipper wondering why her short had a burn mark on it. She made a lame excuse of a hand drying stand got was faulty and burned her shirt instead. Now they were walking by the same stand as before with Dipper pointing to the prizes, "hey, take a look at that."

Wendy chuckled and repeated her line from before. "I don't know if it's a duck or a panda, but I want one."

"Grunkle told me a trick to these," Dipper told her, "Just aim for the carney's head and take the prize when he's unconscious."

Wendy laughed, "Nice."

They walked up to the stand while Wendy felt giving her crush another go would be best now that she knew what to watch out for. That and she really wanted her crush to win her the prize. "Care to take a shot dude?"

"Sure," Dipper said as he retrieved a ticket for the game. "One ball please."

"You only get one chance," the carney said taking the ticket and handing Dipper a baseball.

"Alright Dipper," Wendy cheered with the thumbs up. "Give it everything you got."

Dipper returned the thumbs up before he winds up his throw. Wendy watched as he threw the ball as hard as he could. She cheered when he hit his target and knocked all the bottles off the table. "Woo! Nice shot man!"

However, her celebration was cut short as she heard Dipper call out her name. "Wendy! Look out!"

Wendy turned just in time to see the baseball Dipper threw before it smacked her right in the face. She cried out from the hit and covered her face, feeling her eye swelling up. "Wendy are you okay!?"

Wendy found this sweet that he was worried but she didn't want him to feel too bad about this. "Hey no worries man," Wendy tried to reassure him with a grin. But she saw him wince seeing her no doubt black eye. "That bad?"

"I think we can get some ice for that," Dipper offered, getting Wendy to smile again.

It was then did Robbie showed up, the same snow cone he used last time to ruin her date. "Ow Wendy, what happened?" he asked concerned before he lifted his snow cone, "here use this."

While she was upset about what he did last time, she knew her friend was innocent this time. "Thanks, Robbie," she said as she took the snow cone and pressed her eye to it. While the black eye was unexpected she felt it was better that she was the one that got it instead, as it didn't ruin the date in her mind. That is until her friend started to make things worse.

"Who did that to yea?" Robbie asked before noticing Dipper next to them, "it was you wasn't it?"

Wendy's uninjured eye went wide as Dipper tried to defend himself, "It was an accident!"

"Dude it was," Wendy said, trying to do damage control. "I'm not even mad about it."

"Well you should be," Robbie countered before glaring at Dipper. "Why don't you go before you hurt someone else?"

Dipper flinched at this. He already felt terrible about hurting Wendy and this on top of it was starting to be too much. Before Wendy could stop him, Dipper turned and took off running. "Dipper wait!" she calls out and tried to follow him.

However, Robbie got in the way. Before he could even speak, Wendy smashed the snow cone he gave her in his face and followed it up with a right hook that knocked him out. She took off once more, trying to find Dipper but she could see him in the crowd. "Dipper!" she tried once more but she got no response. Wendy let out a frustrating scream, unable to believe what happen.

Rias came running when she heard her friend. "Wendy wha-whoa," seeing the black eye she winced. "So it didn't work out."

"I got hit instead but that isn't the issue," Wendy confessed. "It's like Robbie had to go out of his way to ruin this date."

"Perhaps a redo is in order," Rias advised, lifting a hand to use her magic to help heal Wendy's eye. "I'll keep Robbie busy this time."

"Yeah," Wendy said with her eye fully healed. "third time's the charm."

(scene change)

Once more the pair rewound the time several minutes and they walked through the fair, both heading for their targets. Rias already had a plan to distract Robbie while Wendy figured she would be able to keep an eye on the thrown ball this time. They both pass Mabel and Dani racing and staring at the pig stand. Both of them missed Pacifica calling out to them but this time it was different. "Oh, lo-What is happening!?"

"You okay?" Mabel asked as Pacifica was starting to look like she was starting to panic, as she walked away. Rias also noticed that Pacifica was also talking to herself about something.

"Just stay calm, there has to be a reason, no need to lose it, Pacifica," Pacifica said to herself in an almost whisper, not realizing she was close to the scarlet haired devil, as Rias thought about how strange it was, but she had agreed to help Wendy with her date and look for Robbie to keep him and Wendy separate.

(Scene Change)

"Hey take a look at that!" Dipper said once more as he noticed the panda duck, and Wendy thought of how to change things up so that everything about the toss would go perfectly.

"I don't know if it's a duck or a panda, but I want one!" She repeated the line once more and they started up to the stand as Dipper repeated the line once more, to her that is.

"Grunkle Stan taught me the secret to these games, just aim for the Carney's head and take the prize while he's unconscious." Dipper then accepted the ball and started readying the toss.

Wendy gave a short laugh even if she heard it before. She wasn't going to let anything happen this time. Now all she needed was for Dipper to win her the prize. "Care to take the shot?"

Dipper grinned before winding up the throw. Wendy kept her eye on the ball, literally as her crush threw it. The ball missed the bottles and bounced off the board, heading right for them. But Wendy was ready and manage to catch the ball. "Whoa!" Wendy said as she tossed back the ball to the carny and shaking her hand. "Nice throw."

Dipper winced as they walked away from the stand, "sorry."

Wendy waved him off, "don't worry about it, dude. No harm done. But seriously though that was a hell of a throw. You sure you didn't play for any baseball teams back home?"

Dipper laughed, embarrassed by the question. "No, no. I never really tired. Too much of a nerd really."

Wendy chuckled, "You sell yourself too short man."

Internally Wendy was ecstatic at how things were working out this time. Since she stopped the baseball from hitting someone she figured all the issues for the resets were behind her now. As they walked to find something else to do at the fair, Wendy trying to steer them the 'Tunnel of Love and Corndog's' without it seeming too obvious, they weren't watching too much of where they were going and bumped into someone. It turned out to be Chi and Mimi, both manage to keep themselves from falling but the snacks they were holding ended up falling instead. Chi gasped while Mimi looked at her fallen candy apple, almost confused about what had happened. Chi's head snapped towards them and her eyebrow lit aflame even through her disguise to show had mad she saw. "You ruined the treat I got to share with Mimi."

Dipper winced, even more, when Mimi crouched down and poked her candy apple with a sad look on her face. "I'll get you another one."

"Damn right you will," Chi said, grabbing the front of his shirt and started to drag him along. "You will not only be replacing her treats, but you will be buying everything she wants, every prize she is interested in and most importantly you will be carrying all of for the rest of the day."

This got Mimi to perk up before she skipped over and grabbed Dripper's hand, fully waiting for all the treats he will get her.

Wendy stood gapping at the scene. She tried to object but Chi kept cutting her off and now dragged her crush off without so much as her opinion in the matter. Wendy let out a scream before she kicked over a popcorn cart, scaring the worker and several other people. Wendy pants while Rias comes rushing over. "Wendy what's wrong?" she followed her friend's gaze to see Dripper being dragged off. "How did that happen?"

"Doesn't matter," Wendy said, getting the time machine out. "But it's not over yet.

(scene change)

With the reset, Wendy decided to take action in her own hands by playing the game herself. She easily won the prize and made sure no one else got hurt from the throw. Everything was going fine until they passed by Stan's dunk tank. It turns out Dani and Lilith thought Stan had enough fun so they rigged the already rigged dunk tank. While all attention was on Stan, the two went to the back and used their powers to force the target bar to release and dunk Stan. The problem was that when they broke it the bar, the entire part broke off, weakening the tank and forcing it to collapse which sent the water everywhere. Wendy and Dipper both got swept up by the water and right into the mud where the gathering crowd laughed at the scene.

The next reset Wendy decided to skip the ball stand altogether and go on some rides. They chose the ferias wheel, Wendy slipping the working ten dollars to have them stop at the top. However before they even reached halfway up did the machine break down, forcing Wendy to reset once again.

Trying once again to see if the ball game was worth it, Wendy threw the ball once more. This time she hit the bottles, bounced it off the back, hit the carney in the head before the ball knocked a ball filled with baseballs lose, smacking both her and Dipper.

In the next reset, seeing that the game was more trouble than it was worth, she tried to enjoy the fair with Dipper. But they found a strange sight, even for them. Paradox was at the fair, shaking and curled into a ball while rocking back and forth. She was muttering but they had no idea what she was saying. Dipper was concerned but once Paradox saw him, she quickly grabbed him and demanded that she go with her as she needed help. Paradox didn't even wait for an answer as she snapped her fingers and the pair vanished.

This left Wendy leaning on a bench next to Rias, both stressed out from all the resets and trying to make the day perfect. Wendy groaned as she rubbed her head in frustration. "Rias?" she finally said.

"Yes, Wendy?"

"The big man with a capital G is real right?" Wendy asked pointing up towards the sky.

"…yeeees?" Rias drew out, not sure where this was going.

"Do you think he's the one making things worst?" Wendy asked. "Because I'm your friend and Dipper is the one that has to marry you?"

Rias looked off to the side, looking uncomfortable. "…We try and not talk about him."

"Right, got it," Wendy said waving her hand. "I shouldn't have known that was a tough topic for devils."

Rias shook her head, "No its." She sighs, "Let's just say my father has…daddy issues. It gets super awkward."

Wendy blinked at this claim. "You mean like in Paradise Lost?"

This time Rias blinked, "you've read that fanfiction?"

"Fanfiction?" Wendy echoed with a small amused laugh, "that explains a lot. But it was for school and it was actually easier to read when you know that devils are real."

"But to answer, I'm not sure" Rias admitted. "It would seem cruel even for him."

Wendy sighed and took the time machine out. "There has to be something we can do."

Rias didn't know what to say anymore before they both travel through time once again.

Back at the fair the time travelers slowly got their bearings to try and figure a plan. However…

"YOU!"

They turned to see Paradox glaring at them and looking like she wanted to kill them. "You're behind this!"

"Behind what?" Wendy asked as she had no idea what Paradox was talking about, and the daughter of Bill stomped towards them her visible eye glaring at the two.

"Behind whatever is causing this day to loop and make me crazier than normal!" Paradox answered and not caring at the fact that both Rias and Wendy were surprised that she knew what was going on. "I came here to have a nice time and maybe think about what to do to get Dipper to make things up to me and you're doing something to make everything repeat itself, do you know how much more crazy that makes me!?"

"Oh, and how do you know it's us messing with anything?" Rias asked as innocently as possible to make it seem like nothing was going on, even if it was partially her fault.

"Oh, sure, deflect the whole thing on details. Nice one Morning Star, but the fact that you two keep doing something different every time things seem to start over is proof enough, so how about you stop doing things to mess with me before I do something that we all might regret!?" Paradox threatened and she wasn't doing an idle threat as she had been riled up badly.

Wendy started to get nervous since she still owed Paradox a bit from the party but she also heard what she tried to do a few days ago after Pioneer day. "Hey, dude let's calm down," Wendy said as her hand slowly inched towards her pocket where the time machine hung. "No need act-"

Too bad that Paradox noticed this. In the blink of an eye, Paradox was in front of them, swinging her cane at them. Wendy jerked back, narrowly avoiding the cane hitting her face. What she didn't see was this was a faint as Paradox's other hand seem to stretch and grab the time machine before pulling it back to her. When Wendy righted herself up, she gapped at what Paradox had done but also the fact she now had the time machine. Paradox gave a small huff as she pulled her cane back, "so this is what you two have been using." She turned the machine over to study and paused seeing the hourglass-like symbol on the side. Paradox narrowed her eyes seeing this, "Time Baby."

Wendy and Rias, realizing that they couldn't let Paradox have the machine, jumped at her to get it back. Paradox gave a short scream in surprise but managed to hold her arm away from the struggling teens, using her cane as leverage. "Get off!"

Paradox could barely even float with their added weight and their struggling. To make things worst, when Wendy swiped at the tape measure she accidentally sent it flying from Paradox's hand while the girl manages to keep a hold on the end of the tape. This sent the end flying pass them where it hurt Toby Determined. He screamed in freight, not seeing the machine caught clothes, and tried to run. This stretched the tape part back, making all three of them realize what was about to happen. Before they can tell Toby to stop the machine came up and snapped right back at them. "Oh shit," Wendy muttered, seeing the machine coming back too fast for them to stop.

"I blame you two," Paradox manages to get out before the tape measure reconnected. Seconds later all three of them vanished in a bright light.

(scene change)

All three of them appeared over a dirt trail in the middle of a forest while in midair. Wendy and Rias fell to the ground while Paradox manages to keep herself in the air. The two teens groaned before they got up and looked around them, wondering where they are. "When are we?"

"The real question is when-damnit" Rias started to say before she realized that Wendy beat her to it. Her cheeks puffed out as she pouts at Wendy's cheeky grin.

A groan caused the teens to glance up at Paradox who was rubbing her head. "We're in Oregon 1860, three years before Gravity Falls was founded."

"How do you know that?" Rias asked, finding the fact she knew the exact date to be strange.

Paradox gave her a deadpan look, "The same reason I knew you two idiots were using this to reset time over and over again."

Here she held up the time machine which caused Wendy to jumped up and grabbed it from her, literally adding a "Yoink!" for good measure.

Paradox blinked before she shouts, "Hey!"

"Sorry girl," Wendy said with a shrug. "But you seem a little unstable. Let's just head back home before anything else happens."

Paradox growled before she smirked before thumbing over her shoulder, "Like that?"

The two teens looked at her confused before they felt the ground start to shake. It wasn't long before a herd of American Bison could be seen; stampeding towards them. Wendy and Rias both screamed in freight before they did what any rational person would do and run like hell. Paradox kept herself above the stampeding bison, an amused look on her face.

Wendy and Rias kept running, not daring to even look back as they cut through the trees and bushes. However, as they took a few steps beyond the trees was not an open rocking plain as they first thought but the edge of a cliff. As gravity once again started to take effect, Wendy had one thing to say: "Well fuck you too big guy."

They screamed as they fell, fortunately, they didn't fall to their deaths as they landed in a covered wagon. One of many in a wagon chain. As they slowly got their bearings, they could hear people talking outside then wagon, someone shouting about dysentery while the driver of the wagon they were in said aloud, "Forge ahead mighty oxen, for a new life awaits us on this Oregon Trail!"

"Okay let's never do that again," Wendy offered to which Rias agreed.

Paradox suddenly appeared behind them "correct me if I'm wrong, and I'm not, but can't you fly Morning Star?"

Rias blushed in embarrassment as she had indeed forgotten. Still, she kept like little dignity she had by not responding. Their attention changed when the driver of the wagon noticed them. "By Trembly! Fertilia, it seems you have given birth to three more children."

"It appears I have," they turned to see a woman with a large pregnant belly and six children around her including an infant. "More little hands to render the tallows."

Paradox gave the woman a deadpan look, "I know humans can be really, dumb at times but you can't seriously believe that."

"She's glowing mother," one child said, pointing at Paradox.

This got a chuckle from Paradox, "well at least you know greatness when you see it. Up top." She held her hand and the boy slowly reached up and gave a soft clap.

"You really shouldn't be messing with time like that Paradox," Rias scolded, knowing that this might cause an issue with the timeline.

Paradox glared back at her, "Pot meet kettle; guess what?"

"Seriously though we should leave," Wendy said as she got the time machine out.

"Give me that!" Paradox demanded as she jumped at Wendy. Two struggled with Rias trying to push them apart. During the struggle, one of them pulled the tape measure and forced them to vanish through time once again.

The three appeared in a hot muggy jungle…with a giant T-rex towering above them. It roared and went to chomp down right on them. They screamed before they quickly got out of there with the time machine. They breathed a sigh of relief when they found they were safe. However, that changed when a laser bolt nearly hit them and left a crater next to them. They turned to see a futuristic city but war-torn with men fighting and shooting laser guns. It would have been a scene straight out of something like Terminator if it wasn't for the giant floating baby with a red hourglass symbol on the forehead and shooting laser from its eyes. It laughed darkly in a voice that sounded out of place. Paradox groaned and rolled her eyes, "Time Baby. What a brat."

The two teens didn't comment as they didn't want to stick around as the newly dubbed Time Baby paused and glanced in their direction. They disappeared once more into the time stream.

They appeared on the shore by Gravity Falls' lake with the people getting ready to start fishing. Wendy could see Dipper and Mabel standing near Stan wearing fishing hats. Her musing was broken when Paradox grabbed the time machine and ran off. Wendy and Rias realize what she did and took off after her. "Paradox! Get back here!"

As they ran, they didn't realize that a small prize that Rias had won at the fair fell out of her pocket and on the ground. They vanished again, leaving the small stuff toy behind, as Old Man McGucket called out by the pier, "I've seen it! I seen it again!"

They appeared behind a crowd that was sitting in front of the Mystery Shack and Stan unveiled a wax figure of himself to them. Paradox manages to stay ahead without any of them noticing with the teens right behind her. Wendy nearly tripped but manage to keep up even if she lost one of her shoes.

They appeared in the woods by the shack none of them paying attention to the giant gnome made of many smaller gnomes. It was facing the shack and seem to after Dipper and Mabel. As they ran past the bushes, Rias didn't notice that her hair clip got snagged by one of the branches and fell to the forest floor.

They vanished again and reappeared in the middle of a winter storm right outside the Mystery Shack, though it looks like a bunch of signs and add-ons were missing. It was then did Paradox noticed something was wrong with the time machine, "This thing is getting hotter!"

"What did you do!?" Rias cried as they all slid to a stop.

"Hey! Don't blame me!"

"Use one of your powers or something!" Wendy suggested to either Rias or Paradox they weren't sure as the machines sparked and glowed brighter. The three of them cried out as they were covered by the light and vanished. The door of the shack opened up to reveal a much younger Stan Pines but had a different air to him. He peeked out, shrugged, and then closed the door again.

(scene change)

In a large mansion, one of the hallways lite up before the three time-travelers appeared and dropped to the ground. "Great," Wendy muttered as she got up. "When and where are we now?"

"Actually, we're only a few years in the past," Paradox informed her, getting up and brushing off the imaginary dust off her body. "Specifically, today's…" she stopped as she seems to realize something.

Rias and Wendy stared at the sudden silence from Paradox as the girl was focused on something else. She walked past them and slowly open one of the doors in the hallway. Curious at this strange behavior, Wendy and Rias peeked over the smaller girl's shoulders to peek inside. What they saw surprised them.

In the room before a roaring fireplace was Preston Northwest. He was standing in front of his daughter who was crouching on the ground holding her head, wearing a soft lime green fancy dress. She was crying and shivering, looking quite scared while her father was above her, ringing a small bell. "You have no one to blame but yourself," Preston stated firmly to his daughter. "You are a Northwest. That means you are at a higher standard than anyone else. You can't keep acting like this."

"…no, no please," Pacifica pleaded, barely able to speak over the ringing bell.

"It's for your own good," Preston assisted, making no attempt to stop his actions.

"Man, I knew the guy was a jackass, but I didn't think he would be this bad," Wendy whispered to the others.

"This is disturbing" Rias confessed. Sure, she has seen worst punishments and scenes in hell and the Underworld but for a mortal father to be treating his daughter like a dog and even trying to train her like one was something that even frightens her.

Paradox gave no response, just watching the scene, her eye focus on Pacifica. Wendy was about to march inside the room and deck the poor excuse for a father, damages to the timeline be damned when she stopped by what happens next.

One moment Pacifica was on the ground, crying and pleading before she suddenly stopped. Her body stiffens and it was as if something snapped. Even Preston seem to notice enough to pause in his ringing of the bell. Then…

"…ha-ha…ha-ha" Pacifica started to give off a weak, barely audible chuckle. But it got louder, more pronounced and confidant, more insane. "Hahahahahaha!"

"Enough of this!" Preston demanded as he rang the bell again. But this time instead of the normal ringing it gave off the sound of a loud raspberry. He dropped the bell in freight and stared at his daughter.

Pacifica lifted her head, still laughing to show a different appearance. Her left eye was close while her right was a solid gold color with a single black slit. Her grin was wide and madding as he gave a laugher open mouth laugh. "Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"

Wendy and Rias were gapping as Pacifica started to float in the air, her hair snaking and whipping like wild, her hands up and looking more insane. Worst came her laugh, which started to change. "Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"

Her voice started to echo, the flames in the fireplace changing to a vivid blue while random items around the room started to float and spin around the room. Pacifica clenched a fist and the bell her father dropped rose between them before it was crushed into a time crumpled ball before bursting into flames. Preston couldn't take anymore and fainted in a heap. Pacifica didn't even blink as she laughed as if it was the first time in a lifetime. She placed her left hand over her eye before ran the hand over her hair, straightening it out and leaving a black eyepatch with a familiar triangle symbol with an eye in the center over it. Pacifica stretched her body as her dress was transformed into the same outfit Paradox was always seen wearing.

Wendy and Rias slowly looked to the older Paradox, realizing that they were seeing Paradox appearing for the first time. Paradox just cooed at the scene, "Ahh, look at the adorable little abomination I was."

"So, that really is you?" Wendy asked, not sure what surprised her more; Paradox's identity or the fact she didn't care that they not only knew but also see what was, no doubt, a traumatic moment in her life.

Rias, however, had a different question, "you aren't mad that we saw this?"

All they got was a shrug, "eh, I was having a bad day. Not an issue."

Wendy and Rias shared a look, not sure what to say before Wendy pulled out the time machine again, "Let's just go back home. I think I had enough time traveling today."

The flash of time travel happened once more, and now they were in a dark room with no light wherever.

"Did we just travel to the end of time?" Wendy asked as she was wondering if they just shot themselves in the foot in time travel.

"No ice bag, we didn't. It wouldn't smell so bad." Paradox said as they realized that they were almost stuck in one of the outdoor bathrooms for the fairgoers in case they really needed to use the bathroom and don't care where they go. Rias managed to open it just as Stan announced that the dunk tank was now open once more to them.

"So we're back in the present, but which version?" Rias asked as she looked for any indication of which present it was.

Wendy looked around to see Mabel running towards the pig stand while also spotting Dipper with Junior and Mini. It took her a moment to realize what happened, "I think we're back where we all started. Before Pa-" she paused and looked to the blonde, "hey do you prefer Paradox or Pacifica?"

Paradox huff, using one hand to rub her temple and try and stop a headache forming. "When I'm using my powers in this form I want to be called by Paradox. I don't care if you two tell the others, but I want the proper name for the form."

"Got it," Wendy said, debating if she should tell the others Paradox's identity. "But more importantly I still have a chance to make a perfect date with Dipper."

Paradox shouts and glares at Wendy, "yeah until you mess up again and try to do it all over again, making things worst and driving me even more insane."

Wendy flinched at the reminder of not only her mistakes but also what she unknowingly did to Paradox, "look I'm sorry you had to deal with that but…"

"No, you're not," Paradox countered. "All you care about is about your stupid date with Dipper. You don't care what you're doing to others so long as the date you keep messing up happens."

Rias jumped to Wendy's defense, scowling at Paradox. "Now that's out of line. There nothing wrong with trying to act on your desires. You would do the same so don't act innocent. Besides the only one that is affected by the time jumping is you."

"Oh really?" Paradox countered, glaring right back at her. "How many times has Dipper been punished in some form? How many times has someone else gotten some form of discomfort with your time jumping? I just got the worst of it." She paused and tugged at her hair, "do you know what it is like to have your day reset over and over again? No matter what you do, no matter what you think or even care about. I'm already insane but let me tell you that is madness to someone who isn't controlling the resets." Paradox's hands dropped as she slumped down, head hanging with her hair shadowing her eye. "Why can't you let it be?" she asked in a defeated voice.

Rias just crossed her arms, her stance on the issue firm. Wendy, however, looked down at the time machine in her hands. She looks back up at Dipper, her mind going over all she tried to do today. She sighed, realizing what she had to do. "Go ahead."

"Huh?/Excuse me Ice-bag?" came the response from the two supernatural girls.

"I think I'm done with time-traveling today," Wendy said, offering Paradox a small smile. The girl looked confused before Wendy added, "go enjoy the fair with him. Just make sure he has a good time."

Paradox just stared at the girl, not sure if she should believe her or not. "Is this a trick?"

Wendy shook her head, "no tricks, I swear."

For a minute Paradox did nothing, trying to see if this was real or not. Finally, she gave a soft smile before she schooled herself and gave her usual smirk, "well don't come crying to me if you change your mind. No taking the offer back."

Wendy rolled her eyes as the girl walked off towards her crush. She watched as the girl popped into Dipper's view, surprising the boy. She couldn't hear what the two were saying but the two walked together to no doubt enjoy the fair. Wendy saw Paradox glance back towards her and mouthed, 'Thanks,' before grabbing Dipper's hand and pulling along.

Wendy chuckled, slightly jealous but not feeling as bad as she thought she would. Rias looked concerned at her friend, "are you okay Wendy?"

Wendy took a deep breath, "yeah I think I am."

Rias took a moment before she asked what she was thinking. "Why?"

Wendy lifted the time machine and gave it another glance over, "all day I've been trying to get a perfect date with Dipper. But every time it always ends up with either Dipper getting hurt or laughed at or some other problem came that ruins it. And even if I reset everything to make it like it never happened, it doesn't mean I didn't mess up. I figure I might as well have Dipper enjoy his day…even if it isn't with me."

Rias was stunned by this before she smiled and laid her arm over Wendy's shoulder. "That's very mature of you Wendy."

The moment was broken when someone snatched the time machine out of Wendy's hand. They turned to see Blendin glaring at them, now holding the time machine. "You two!"

"Hey man," Wendy said nervously. "You enjoying the fair?"

Blendin just glared even harder. "Do you have any ideas how many rules you just broke?" he asked before he said more nervously, "I'm asking cause I wasn't there with you. It was probably a lot right?"

Suddenly two men in armor appeared next to him in the same flash as their time traveling. One took the time machine and the other stated, "Blendin Blandin."

Blendin gave a small scream, "The Time Paradox Avoidance Enforcement Squad!"

"Our phones have been ringing off the hooks," The agent named Lolph stated, "There are settlers high fiving in the eighteen hundreds, and items littered through eight centuries."

The agent named Dundgren stated, "you are under arrest for violations of the Time Travelers code of conduct."

"But it was those kids!" Blendin shouted as they took his arms and started to drag him away, "They are the ones that did it! They stole my time machine! They're devils!"

"That's racist," Dundgren stated.

Blendin, however, shouted to the teens, "I'll get you for this! I-I-I'll go back in time and make sure your parents never meet!"

Rias and Wendy blinked before Rias added, "good luck with that."

"We're still here so he must have gotten locked up tight" Wendy suggested with a shrug. She figured she might have been in trouble since her parents were just human, but she wasn't disappearing yet so she pushed it from her mind.

The agents pass the dunk tank where Stan was still taunting the people. "Ha sucker! Your pockets are empty and I'm still sitting high and dry!"

The crowd booed which made Stan laugh. Dani and Lilith nodded to one another, ready to dunk him in front of the whole crowd. Stan then noticed the time officers walking behind the crowd, "Hey biceps! Yeah, I'm talking to you, haircut! Take your best shot!"

Lolph drew his laser cannon and fired. The ring target shattered as did the wooden wall behind it. Stan was stunned at this before he dropped into the dunk tank. Dani and Lilith were gapping at what happen but laughed at Stan's misfortune even if they weren't the ones that caused it The rest of the crowd cheered at this, none of them noticing the time officers vanished with their prisoner back to their time.

(scene change)

Wendy and Rias walked through the fair eating some snow cones before Wendy said, "you know we never did find out what caused those time anomalies Blendin was looking for."

Rias stopped as it came to her, "Wendy I think we caused those anomalies."

Wendy groan, "it's official; I hate time travel now."

"I think I would have to agree, and that time-travel is too dangerous in the hands of, well, anyone," Rias said as she could see the dangers of how things could change and how it could be abused if someone that was particularly evil had that kind of power. "I think we should just enjoy the present instead of focusing on the past."

"I can agree with that, and it's not like there aren't any other chances to happen. Right?" Wendy asked as she was sure that there might be more chances to gain a chance with Dipper.

"I think there are, and we can wait until after the fair to tell Dipper about the Pacifica/Paradox situation as well. Until then, let's have fun." Rias added as the two decided to have some fun themselves while Stan kept it open.

(Scene Change)

"You have broken the laws of space and time." Time Baby said as he looked at the now accused and fearful Blendin as the bald man was frightened for good reason.

"I beg your mercy Time Baby!" Blendin was genuinely fearful for his life to the being that controlled the power of time and space, even if to some degree. Time Baby wasted little time passing judgment.

"You are hereby sentenced to clean up all of the anomalies." It said evenly as it sent Blendin to work.

Blendin appeared at Gravity Falls lake, picking up the small toy that Rias left behind, just as Old Man McGucket ran pass and knocked a sandwich from a man's hand.

Blendin vanished before he reappearing behind a crowd of people sitting before the Mystery Shack. He recovered the lost show as someone stood up from the crowd. "Old man McGuckit, local coot, are the wax figures alive and, follow up question, can I survive the Wax Man uprising?"

Blendin vanished once more and was back at the shack but now had Dipper and Mabel facing the giant Gnometron. He picked up the hairpin just in time to see a single gnome land in front of him. They eyed each other before Blendin asked, "What are you looking at?"

He didn't get an answer as he found himself back at the fairground. Blendin quickly found his tool belt he had to remove to get onto the rides and forgot to get it when he realized the time machine was missing. He vanished again, not seeing Paradox glaring at his form as he disappeared. She pushed the time worker out of her mind as she walked with Dipper, nearing the end of the fair. "I'm happy we manage to spend this time together," Paradox admitted to her future husband.

"Yeah it was fun," Dipper agreed as at first, he was worried about Paradox when she appeared hours ago. But he quickly found she wanted him to make up for their last meeting by forcing him to be her date for the rest of the day. And while there was some tension at first Dipper will say that the date was enjoyable.

Paradox couldn't be happier now. The massive headache she had gotten throughout the day was gone, all the time issues were stopping, and she had her future husband paying extra attention to her. She noticed the evening was setting in and the lights of the fair were turning on. Figuring she best return home she led her to the edge of the fair and surprised him with a kiss on the cheek. "I had enough fun. I should be heading home. I expect to have some more fun with you soon hubby."

Dipper was taken aback by the kiss and blushed because of it. "yeah…I would like that."

Paradox giggled at his reaction before she left him with another surprise as she snapped her fingers. Dipper watched as Paradox glowed and her clothes changed, her eyepatch was gone, and he was now staring at Pacifica Northwest. She giggled at his gapping form before giving another kiss, "See you soon hubby."

Dipper watched her go, trying to come to terms with what he saw. "Wha…what just happen?"


This one was fun. Wendy having the crush is really working out well for me and manages to make the chapter work out. The reasons for why she kept resetting were a bit fun to work out and felt made sense without hurting Dipper every time. So CC might be happy about that and she can't say she can hate a certain character this time around. But what do you all think? Was the time traveling adventure good? Was the fact Wendy was going nuts trying to get the perfect date good or did I go too far? How about how Paradox was revealed to the group? Both the time travelers and Dipper himself. The reveal scene was dark and honestly, I hope you all got chills or enjoyed it. I know I did.

Leave a review on what you think. And Remember all flames will be brought to Stan Pines who will gather them up as an attraction for the Mystery Shack so keep them coming.
