Dipper and Gary were thrown into the closet of their room in the attic. Just before they could make a run for it, Tyrone just shut the door and locked it. Gary slammed on the door with all of his might.
"COME ON TYRONE!" Gary shouted, "OPEN THE DOOR!"
"Never!" They heard Tyrone shout on the other side.
"Wait, Gary, don't panic, I have an idea." Dipper whispered to him, before yelling, "AGH! HELP US! WE CAN'T BREATH IN HERE!"
"Yes you can!" Tyrone said on the other side, "We left some snacks and coloring books for you guys."
Dipper and Gary both groaned in disappointment and sat down on the boxes provided. They both took the cheese and crackers provided and had started to eat.
"Some plan man." Gary said.
"Shut up." Was all that Dipper replied.
Outside of the closet, the clones were deciding on what to do exactly.
Tyrone spoke up among the clones, "Alright, now that the original Dipper, otherwise known as classic Dipper, is no longer fit for it, I think I should be the one to dance with Wendy. I mean it's logical, I've been around the longest, so it has to be me, I mean speaking logically. Logically guys."
Most of the clones seemed to have agreed to this.
"Yeah, you make a good point." Number 10 said, "Though on the other hand, maybe I should dance with Wendy since I've been around the least."
"That makes… Zero sense." Number 5 said.
"YOU MAKE ZERO SENSE!" Number 10 exclaimed shoving Number 5. This caused them both to engage in a fight and the other clones to argue amongst one another. Though the fight amongst each other soon came to a halt, when they heard Paper Jam Dipper exclaim, "NANANANANA-AAAAAA!"
"Hey, you want some cheese and crackers buddy?" Tyrone asked Paper Jam Dipper, holding some cheese and a couple of crackers.
"KKSSSKSKSSS." Paper Jam Dipper said seeming like he agreed with it. Tyrone tried to feed Paper Jam Dipper some cheese and crackers, but was quick to realize that he didn't even have a mouth. "Yikes…" Tyrone said before realizing something; he turned to the clones, "Hey guys, what would you do if you were trapped in a closet?"
"Break out?" The Clones said before turning to the closet, that was now wide open. Tyrone couldn't help but smack himself in the face. Dipper and Gary both ran down the hall of the Shack; they ran to the balcony and searched for Wendy. "There she is!" Gary said pointing there, "Over there!" Dipper's followed Gary's finger and he spotted Wendy on the dancefloor. Before he could call out to her, his mouth was suddenly covered and he was pulled back into the hallway; Though Gary didn't seem to have noticed as he said, "Let's get down there and-Where did you go?"
The clones held Dipper down, as he struggled to get out of their grip.
"Give it up man! You're overpowered!" Tyrone said to Dipper.
Dipper immediately said, "Wait, guys, let's think about this! We're exact equals, both mentally and physically. If we start fighting, it'll just go on for infinity!" All the clones stared at him awkwardly, though they seemed to have agreed on it; Though that was short lived when Dipper had just punched Tyrone clear across the face which caused all the clones to go silent.
"CLONE FIGHT!" Number 9 shouted. Thus every single one of them engaged in a fight, mixing up the original Dipper with the other clones. As the clones fought with one another, Dipper, the real Dipper crawled under them with his hat labeled 7. Just as he was about to get away-
"HEY! CLASSIC DIPPER'S GETTING AWAY!" Number 10 shouted making Dipper stop in his tracks.
"No friends." Dipper said turning around, "It's me, Number 7."
They turned to the real Number 7, "That's not me guys! THAT'S NOT ME!"
Dipper thought his plan worked, though the paper that was labeled with the number 7 just peeled off; that was when the clones realized that he was the real Dipper.
"GET HIM!" Number 9 yelled.
Dipper backed up into a wall and pulled out of his pocket the only thing he could think of; a party popper.
"Stay back! Stay back!" He yelled.
As soon as he fired the popper, small smoke emanated from the popper causing the sprinklers to turn on, making the clones to melt.
"Boo!"
"Lame!"
"This stinks, boo!"
Paper Jam Dipper said in his own language, "It was better this way for Paper Jam Dipper!"
Thus all of the clones had melted. "Huh." Dipper said, "Can't believe that worked." He was quick to realize however that only one was left; that was Tyrone.
"Uh-oh." Was all Dipper could say.
-At that Moment-
On the dance floor Manel was dancing on the dance floor winning the crowd; currently she was doing the worm. Everyone clapped and cheered for Mabel.
"One more song, dudes, and then it's time for the bestowing of the party crown." Soos said over the microphone, "It's gonna be the-" Soos hit a key on his keyboard, and a sound of the explosion was heard. "Nailed it." He said with a smile.
As soon as Mabel caught her breath, she walked over to Pacifica.
"Hey Pacifica." Mabel said, "I just wanna say that whoever wins, it's been a super fun party." Pacifica clicked her tongue, "Aww, it thinks it's gonna win. Hey, did you hear that?" She put her hand to her ear as did Mabel, "People clapping for the weird girls? Yeah, me neither." She said.
With that she walked away, leaving Mabel just stand there. "Oh she is so going down." Mabel said to herself.
Outside of the Mystery Shack, Mira and Wren just sat at the steps, since they had decided to take a break from the party and just enjoy the peace and quiet. Mira was playing a song on the ocarina, as Wren listened to her; she swayed her head with the music she played on her small instrument. After a while the song had come to an end, and Wren clapped.
"You're really good at playing that." Wren said, "Did you take lessons?"
Mira shook her head, "I was just, sort of born with it. At least that's what my mom and dad say."
"I didn't necessarily think that there would be people that can be just born with such talents." Wren admitted, "But… I guess their are such things as that."
"I know I've been here for a few weeks, but I don't think I've seen you before." Mira said, "Do you live here?"
Wren shook her head, "I live in New Jersey actually, though I come here in the summer with my Aunt and Uncle sometimes. It's nice to get away from crowded places once in awhile don't you think?"
"Ye-yeah, I guess so."
"Though than again, I don't think I've ever seen you around here either. Where are you from?"
"Dipper, Mabel and I are from Piedmont California. Our parents thought it would be a good idea to stay here with our Great Uncle and cousin, so here we are."
"How do you like this town so far?"
Mira couldn't help but think back to the things that she had saw thus far while in the town of Gravity Falls, finding the mysterious journal and her dreams when Wren had asked her that question. She had eventually replied awkwardly, "Um… Let's just say that this town has been interesting so far."
Wren smiled and said, "That's good I guess. Me personally though I like coming here to this town, there's just something about it that makes it all the more interesting."
Mira chuckled at that, "You kind of sound like my brother when you say that, it's kind of funny."
Wren chuckled as well, "Mira, you're a very interesting person, as is your brother and sister. If it's okay with you, than maybe, you and I can be friends?"
"Really?" Mira asked astonished, "You want me to be friends with you? Are you sure?"
"Of course." Wren said, "Even though we just met I like talking to you. If it's okay with, than I'd like to be friends."
Mira nodded her head and smiled, "Of course I'd like to be friends! I like talking to you to!"
Wren smiled back at her and said, "That's good. I think you and I are gonna get along just fine."
-At that Moment-
Dipper and Tyrone were still engaged in a fight. Both of them toppled on each other, as they slapped at one another.
"SAY IT!" Tyrone yelled, "SAY I CAN DANCE WITH WENDY!" Gary soon came into the hall. "Hey guys! Break it up!" He said, "I know you guys have a grudge against each other but I think you guys should come see this."
"What is it!?" Tyrone and Dipper shouted
"It's about Wendy!" Gary immediately said which caused them both to stop.
"Wendy?" They both said. They ran past Gary and towards the balcony, and saw Wendy not on the dance floor, but on the sidelines with Robbie. She was talking to him and it looked like she was happy. Both Dipper and Tyrone sighed with disappointment.
"We blew it man." Dipper and Tyrone said in unison as they slide down on the balcony provided.
Gary went to comfort the both, "Well, despite you guys fighting, you both did your best."
"Yeah, I guess." Dipper said.
"I don't know…" Tyrone said, before asking Dipper, "You wanna go grab a couple of sodas or something."
"Yeah… Might as well." Dipper said, "Wanna join us Gary?"
"Nah…" Gary said, "I think I'll pass. Besides, I better get back to the food stands with my bro before mom finds out that I'm on break for too long. See you later." With that Gary went down the stairs and back to the food stands, and Dipper and Tyrone went to the roof of the Shack.
Mira and Wren had gone back into the party, and when they did they saw Mabel and the other girl Pacifica up on the stage. "Oh hey, they're about to declare the winner!" Wren said. "Good luck Mabel!" Mira yelled from where she stood. "Applaud to vote for Mabel!" Soos said to the audience. The whole crowd clapped and cheered, for Mabel, including Skyla and Stan. Soos had his arm above Mabel and he stopped to a point.
"The applause meter looks good!" Soos said.
Mabel smiled, and couldn't help but cheer gleefully.
"And next contestant: Pacifica." Soos said.
The crowd began to applaud quietly, but after Pacifica glared at them the crowd started to clap as loud as they did for Mabel. Soos raised his arm and saw that it was the same as Mabel.
"Uh-oh, a tie!" Soos said, "This has like never happened before!"
Pacifica looked around the crowd until she spotted McGucket, sleeping on the chairs. She waved some money which McGucket immediately had awoken too; Once he took the money, he started to clap, causing Soos's arm that was above Pacifica moved slightly to the left.
"Ladies and gentlemen we…" Soos said hesitantly, "We have a winner."
Mabel had gotten a sad look on her face; To which Mira immediately went up on stage to comfort her by giving her a hug. Wren went up to the stage and said to Pacifica, "That's not fair, you cheated!"
"I have no idea what you're talking about, I won fair and square." Pacifica said as she took the Party Crown from Soos; She turned to the crowd, "Thank you Jorge! Thank you everyone! Everyone come to my after party at my parents' boat! Woo-woo!"
The crowd chanted her name as they exited the Shack, carrying her with them. Soon enough, the Shack was empty, only leaving, Mabel, Mira, their cousins, Wren, Candy, and Grenda.
"Mabel?" Mira asked with worry, "Are you gonna be okay?"
Mabel pushed herself out of the hug and replied, "Yeah, I'll be okay."
Wren climbed up on the stage, "Don't let this get to you Mabel. If anything Pacifica is just spoiled."
Mabel looked over to Candy and Grenda; She walked off of the stage and towards them.
"I'm really sorry I let you guys down." Mabel said rubbing her arms, "I understand if you wanna leave."
The next thing that Candy said, had actually surprised her, "But… Than we'll miss the sleepover."
"What?" Mabel and Mira said with disbelief though Wren couldn't help but smile. Mabel said to them, "But… I don't remember scheduling a sleepover."
"We know!" Grenda said, "That's why we want to call our moms and see if we can sleep over here with you. You're like, a rock star!"
"I have magazine boys." Candy said, showing Mabel the magazines she talked about.
"Really?" Mabel said, before squeeing, "Aw, you guys!"
"But, why?" Mira asked curiously.
Candy had replied, "Maybe we don't have many friends as Pacifica, but we have each other, and that is pretty good I think."
"Ditto to that." Wren said with a smile; though she had than asked, "Is there room for one more in your sleepover?"
Mabel smiled and said to Wren, "Of course Wren! It'll be perfect for all of us to get to know each other!"
Both Mira and Wren gave a friendly smile to one another, than there attention was drawn back to Mabel when she said to Soos, "Hey Soos! Play another song! This is going on all night!"
"Way ahead of you hambone!" Soos said before putting in a disc. At this point everyone had started to dance, all except Mira who was just standing there nervously. That changed however when Wren pulled her on the dance floor.
"Come dance with us!" Wren said as she dragged her onto the dancefloor.
"N-no wait, I don't know how to-" Mira stammered.
"You don't need to know how to dance, just go with it!" Wren said as she spun Mira around. Mira felt a bit dizzy but managed to keep her balance. Mira saw that everyone was just doing random things on the dance floor; there movements were however it worked with them.
Mira was unsure of what should she do, though soon she found herself, unconsciously moving to the beat of the music. Wren laughed and said, "See now you're getting it!"
Mira blushed out of embarrassment, but she soon found herself laughing with Wren as she danced. For the first time in her life as she danced on the dance floor with her sister, her friends, and her new friend she found herself actually liking this party.
-Up on the Roof of the Shack-
Dipper and Tyrone sat on the rooftop of the Shack, they got themselves some Pit Cola; they sat at the edge as they watched the stars. "Some night huh?" Tyrone said to Dipper as they both opened their cans. "Yeah…" Dipper replied, "Hey Tyrone, do you think we even have a chance with Wendy? I mean she's 15, and we're 12."
"To be honest, I don't know." Tyrone replied, "I hope so, but so far we're making zero progress. The only time when you had a good conversation with Wendy was when you didn't follow what was on the list."
"I know." Dipper said, "Wow, Mabel and Mira were right, I do get in my own way."
"LITERALLY!" Dipper and Tyrone said in unison. Tyrone made an explosion sound as his hand was beside his head. They both touched each other's cans before taking a sip; Just than Tyrone heard a gurgling sound; He saw that his stomach began to melt.
"Uh-oh." Tyrone said, "Don't look now."
Dipper stood up horrified, "TYRONE!" He exclaimed.
"It's okay dude." Tyrone reassured him, as he continued to melt, "I had a good run. Remember what we talked about."
"Ye-yes, of course."
"Hey and quit being such a wimp around Wendy, for my sake…"
With that Tyrone had melted completely, only leaving only a puddle.
"Tyrone!" Dipper exclaimed before taking his soda, "You were the only one who understood."
He poured some of his soda on the puddle where Tyrone had melted, and drank some for himself. Eventually he went back down and went towards the front door of the Shack. He looked inside and saw his family and friends enjoying themselves since everyone had left. Stan and Skyla were on the money that they had gotten tonight, Mira appeared to be talking to a friend she had made, Mabel was on the dancefloor with her new friends, Andrew and Gary were both doing a "Don't Laugh Challenge", Soos was at the DJ still playing music, and Wendy was leaning against the wall while she swayed her head to the music.
Dipper prepared himself to enter, but stopped himself when he took a moment to look at his list. With a sigh he ripped the list to shreds before going inside.
"Dipper! Where have you been!?" Mabel exclaimed, "Meet our new girlfriends!"
