A/N: I would like to apologize early on for not including the 'I Eat Kids' balloon scene in this chapter. I realized that it wouldn't work out because the whole scene is very out-of-character for Silvia, since she would make sure her hot air balloon is perfectly safe and free of fire hazards.

Dana, Marcus, William, Natalie, Taylor, Liz, and Trisha were at the Gravity Falls Cemetery, watching the sky and pointing at clouds.

"Holy smokes!" Marcus said. "That cloud looks like a chipmunk!"

"Barfing an airplane," William added when a plane flew by.

"That looks like...uh, a cloud!" Trisha said.

The other teens jokingly mocked Trisha. "Trisha, stop being the worst at everything," William said.

Trisha laughed. "Sorry guys."

"That cloud looks like a big heart-shaped balloon!" Marcus said.

"Clouds don't come in colors," Dana pointed out. "That is a balloon."

"Alright!" William cheered. "It's the Woodstick festival!"

"Wait, the wood what?" Dana asked.

"It's this annual outdoor concert featuring Oregon's up-and-coming indie bands," William explained. "They're all coming! Scarves Indoors, Wood Grain on Everything... Even C.A. Cupid the DJing Love Goddess is making a guest appearance!"

"Like a real concert?" Dana asked. "I've never actually been to one of those before."

"That's because you've never had an awesome crew to roll with before!" William said. "When you're with us, you're in!"

Suddenly, a soft singing voice was heard. "Wow..." Marcus said, in awe. "Where is that beautiful voice coming from?"

The teens groaned as Taylor and William put in earplugs. "There's only one person I know who has that kind of voice," William said.

The group walked over to the source of the voice, which was in an open grave. Sure enough, it was Becca, who was half-singing and half-crying.

"Hello Becca," William said in disgust.

Becca saw the group and she gasped. "Don't look at me!" she exclaimed.

"Woah, dude," Liz said. "We haven't seen you in, like a million years. Where have you been?"

"You're not still mourning our break up, are you?" William asked. "We split up forever ago. It's really sweet you'd throw yourself into a grave for me, but it's time to move on."

"What am I supposed to do?!" Becca asked. "First that guy with the camera, and now you! Why does every guy I like reject me?!"

"This is getting really awkward," Liz told Natalie.

"Yeah, the cemetery used to be fun," Taylor said. "Now it's just depressing."

Everyone but Marcus started walking away. "Wait, you guys!" he said. "She's in pain. We can't just ditch her here."

"Come on, Marcus," Dana said. "It's Becca."

"But she's suffering," Marcus said. "How can I be happy if I know someone else is sad? It totally throws off my metaphorical happiness chart."

"Marcus, trust me," Dana said. "If there's one thing I've learned this summer, it's to let things happen naturally. Besides, we're finally in with William's friends. With Becca gone, there's a good social balance. Maybe we should let the good thing be, you know."

Marcus glanced at Becca, who was singing to a nearby vulture.

Later that day, William and the twins were at the Surprise Hut. "Oh, man, I'm sorry you guys had to see that," William said.

"You know what Becca needs?" Marcus asked. "A new guy!"

"Marcus, it's not that easy," William said.

"It is if you're the world's greatest matchmaker!" Marcus said. "I've never had an unhappy customer. I even helped Salls find a girlfriend."

Speaking of Salls, she was standing behind a cardboard box, video chatting with Melody. "Watch this. Walking down some actual stairs." She gradually bent down behind the cardboard box. "Did it look cool?"

Melody giggled. "The coolest," she answered.

"Match made!" Marcus exclaimed.

"Marcus, you had no involvement in that," Dana pointed out. "They fell in love on their own."

"Besides, Becca's a hopeless case," William said.

"Hopeless case, ehhh?" Marcus asked.

And so, after a bit of research in the Gravity Falls address book, Marcus arrived at the Valentino household and rang the doorbell. The door opened, revealing...two perfectly normal adult humans.

"Howdy do!" Mr. Valentino said.

"Happy day!" Mrs. Valentino said, speaking in a melodic voice that sounded like she was singing everything she said.

"You're Becca's parents?" Marcus asked. "My sister told me she was raised by the last boreal sister or something something like that."

"My wife is the last Lorelei sister," Mr. Valentino explained. "She just prefers to stay in her human form. Now come in. Come in."

Inside the house, there was a glass coffin with a corpse in it. On top of it was a tray of crackers and grapes. Mr. Valentino picked up the tray and approached Marcus. "Cracker platter?" the cheerful funeral director asked.

"Oh, no time for crackers, sorry," Marcus said. "I'm here to cheer Becca up. Cannot have a dry cracker mouth for that."

Mrs. Valentino walked up to the bottom of the staircase with a plate of spaghetti in her hands. "Rebecca Steven Valentino!" she called out. "There's a little boy here to see you!" She looked back at Marcus. "You go on up. And could you bring her her lunch?" She gave Marcus the spaghetti plate.

Marcus saw that the sauce and meatballs on the spaghetti were shaped into a smile. "I like your style." He was about to head upstairs when Mrs. Valentino spoke.

"Just out of curiosity, do you know where the Guardian of Time and Space is?" the pure-blood siren asked.

"Um... No," Marcus answered. "Why do you ask?"

"Let's just say she and her three assosicates have done unspeakable things to my nineteen sisters and I want to rip out her guts as payback," Mrs. Valentino explained, still sounding cheerful.

Slightly freaked out by this calm threat, Marcus headed upstairs. As he walked over to Becca's room, he saw a painting of twenty blonde women wearing green dresses and no shoes. The painting was labeled 'LORELEI SISTERS'. After noticing that one of the women in the painting resembled Mrs. Valentino, Marcus walked over to the door to Becca's room and knocked on the door as he heard the sound of singing and a theremin playing.

"Becca! It's Marcus!" Marcus said.

"Who?" Becca asked.

"Remember me?" Marcus asked. "I'm like boy-Dana!"

"Go away!" Becca said.

"I heard a 'come in'!" Marcus said. He opened the door and entered the room.

"Nobody in the Pines family is welcome here," Becca said, turning off her theremin. "In case you forgot, your stupid sister is the one who ruined my life!"

Marcus put Becca's lunch on a table and pulled up a chair to sit. "And Marcus is the one who's gonna fix it," he said. "Listen, Becca, I always used to see you as a weird siren."

"Go on," Becca said, taking a seat on her bed.

"But when I saw you in the cemetery today, I realized, Becca's not a bad girl," Marcus continued. "She's just a heartbroken soul who needs love. You just need a good matchmaker. I guarantee I'll find you true love or twice your sadness back."

"Are you sure?" Becca asked. "Because I can just brainwash any guy into making him love me."

"No magic singing!" Marcus insisted. "Why would you even consider that?"

"Because it's how my mom got my dad to fall in love with her," Becca explained. "She said the best way to a guy's heart is to manipulate it with song."

"And how did that work out?" Marcus asked.

"There was a bit of arguing after he snapped out of it," Becca recalled. "It took years for them to fix things up."

"Trust me," Marcus said. "You won't have to use your magic songs."

That afternoon, Marcus was in his room, sitting in front of a miniature diorama of the town and its residents. "Okay, Gravity Falls," Marcus said to the diagram. "Who wants to go out with Becca?" He sorted through the figures. "Alex? Too rich. Christopher? Too poor. Issac? I'm putting him in the maybe pile. Who could it be? Who could it be?"

Oinkers squealed. "What's that Oinkers?" Marcus asked. "Someone we already know? But who could possibly be perfect enough for—?" Oinkers squealed again. "Of course, that's it!"

Meanwhile, over at Trisha's house, Willian, Dana, and the other teens were hanging out in the garage. Liz and Natalie were using duck tape to attach snacks onto Trisha.

"This is brilliant," William said. "The perfect way to sneak cheap snacks into the concert. And it was all Dana's idea." He gave Dana a quick kiss on the cheek.

Liz bent down and placed a hand on Dana's shoulder. "Kid, I sense greatness in you," the blonde teen said.

"Oh, well, I don't know about that," Dana said.

"Alright, now everyone go home and finish getting ready for the concert," William said.

"Hey, don't wait up, Tayls," Natalie said.

"Don't call me that," Taylor said.

Natalie laughed. "Classic Tayls," she said.

Taylor's phone rang. He answered it and saw a text.

Taylor, You. Me. Date. Bring that strong, handsome face. Your secret admirer.

At Greasy's Diner, Marcus was watching Becca, who is quietly sitting in a booth. She was in her normal siren form and she had her hair tied up in a ponytail.

"Love is about to happen, Blind Eye Samuel," Marcus said. "Watch and learn."

A bell rang as the door to the diner opened. Taylor walked in and approaches the booth Becca was sitting in. He groaned. "Becca?" he asked. "You're my secret admirer?"

"Taylor?" Becca asked. She rolled her eyes. "This is just what I get for trusting a toddler. Listen, I don't think this is gonna work out. Dating somebody I already know? It's kinda like admitting defeat."

"Way to assume I'm even interested," Taylor said.

"Taylor, let's be honest," Becca said. "If I wanted to date you, I would have brainwashed you already."

"Status update: on a blind date with a siren freak," Taylor said.

"Oh, sure," Becca said. "Talk like you're typing into your phone. Classic Tayls." She reached out her hand, calling for a waiter. "Can I get some chili fries to go?"

"What?" Marcus asked. "How is this possible? I'm supposed to be the best matchmaker ever."

Suddenly, there was chatter among the patrons. The door to the diner burst open and teenage girl stormed in. She had white skin which faded to black at her hands and feet. She had short wavy pink hair, which was fashioned to make it look like she has a halo, and aqua eyes. She wore pink lipstick on the center of her lips to make her mouth appear heart-shaped. Her bony wings were made to look like a rib cage with a visible spine disguised as a necklace.

"Hello Gravity Falls!" the girl exclaimed. "Who's ready to fall in love tonight?"

"Love Goddess!" the crowd cheered.

"That's what they call me," the Love Goddess said. "We're rewriting history tonight, and it starts with you two!" She pointed at a male patron and a female employee. They looked at each other and started kissing.

"Love is real and it's in your face!" the Love Goddess said. She walked over to an elderly female patron. "What's your name?"

"Meredith," the woman answered.

"Listen to me, Meredith," the Love Goddess said. "We have a problem." She pointed at an elderly dark-skinned woman sitting across from them. "That cutie right there is your soulmate, and you're living without her."

"What do I do?" Meredith asked.

"Go for it," the Love Goddess answered. "Follow your heart."

Meredith ran towards the dark-skinned woman, picked her up, and laughed. Marcus, curious about the Love Goddess's skills, approached her.

"Hi. Love Goddess?" Marcus asked. "Marcus here. Big fan. Can I just say, that was some of the finest matchmaking I've ever seen. Can you please tell me your secret?"

"Well, between you and me, let's just say my name's not exactly a coincidence," the Love Goddess said. Her bony wings fluttered.

"Holy smokes," Marcus said. "Are you an actual love goddess?"

"Call me Cupid," the Love Goddess said. "The internet pretty much does my job for me nowadays, so I'm taking time to focus on my pop career."

"So anyway, can you make anything fall in love?" Marcus asked.

"That's not how it works," Cupid explained. "I simply have the ability to detect true love within soulmates. I just give them the right push."

"So can you help me with these two?" Marcus asked, pointing at Taylor and Becca.

Cupid let out a hushed squeal. "Rebecca and Taylor!" she said excitedly. "Those two are destined to be together! Just give it a minute, and true love will bloom."

Becca received her bag of chili fries. But just as she was about to leave, she slipped on a wet spot on the floor. Without thinking, Taylor stood up and caught Becca. There was a brief pause with the two teens looking at each other.

"Did your whole thing suddenly get a lot more likable?" Becca asked.

Taylor smiled. "You don't seem as needy as I used to think you were," he said.

Taylor helped Becca stand up properly. "Hey, you wouldn't wanna maybe get outta here and, I don't know, eat chili fries together?" Becca asked shyly.

Taylor held hands with Becca. "For some reason, I do," he said.

"See?" Cupid told Marcus as the teens left the diner. "True love."

Back at Trisha's garage, William, Natalie, Trisha, and Liz were dressed for the concert. Even Dana changed up her outfit, wearing a light grey v-neck t-shirt, dark grey leggings, black sunglasses, and her usual black and white sneakers. She also had her long hair tied up in a messy bun.

"Alright, who's ready for the best and most overpriced day of our summer?!" William asked.

Trisha held up trail mix and safety whistles. "I brought a baggie of trail mix and safety whistles in case we get separated," she said.

"Lame," Dana said, pretending to clear her throat.

"Dr. Funtimes is a champion," Liz said, referring to Dana.

"We're just waiting on Taylor," Natalie said. "Can't leave without him."

Marcus walked in. "Sorry guys," he said. "But Taylor's a little busy at the moment."

"What does that mean?" Natalie asked.

"Let's just say that with my help, he and Becca took a trip to Smoochville," Marcus answered. "Now everyone's happy."

"Becca and Taylor?" Natalie asked. "This can't be happening."

"How's that?" Marcus asked.

"She knew I liked him!" Natalie said. "How could you let this happen?!"

"Whoa, hold it," Liz said. "You like Taylor and you told Becca but not me?"

"You always make fun of my crushes," Natalie said.

Liz whacked Natalie's head. That's what we do, genius."

"This is just like Taylor to do this!" William said. "Date my ex behind my back!"

"Guys, guys. Calm down," Dana said. "We're gonna be late for the concert."

"Uh, news flash, kid," Natalie said. "I'm not going to the concert." She pointed at Liz. "Not with her!"

"Hey, that won't be a problem 'cus I'm out!" Liz said.

"Me too!" William said.

"Wait! Wait!" Trisha said as the three teens left. "This group is all I have! Don't make me go back to having no friends! Guys!" She looked at the twins. "What did you just do?! I've let these guys pick on me for years to keep this group together! And now they've totally fallen apart!"

"But we were all starting to finally hang out together," Dana said. "I was one of the gang."

"Well, unless you can break up Becca and Taylor immediately, there is no gang," Trisha said. "I have no more friends and neither do you." She left the garage.

"Marcus, what did I tell you about staying out of Becca's personal life?" Dana asked.

"I know, I know," Marcus said. "I just wanted to be a good matchmaker. I never should have gotten advice from Cupid."

"Hang on," Dana said. "If you had some magical being use magic, then can't you undo it?"

Marcus gasped. "That's it!" he exclaimed. "If I get Cupid to undo the spell then everyone will be friends again! But I'm gonna need your help. Also, you look great in that v-neck."

"I know," Dana said confidently.

At the Woodstick Festival, Marcus and Dana peeked out from behind two trash cans trash bins. Trisha walked by, pulling William, Natalie, and Liz towards the entrance. "Come back, guys!" she said. "Come on. The tickets were a hundred bucks. I sold my watch. You gotta come to the concert."

"And have to look at that?" William asked. "No, thanks."

Becca and Taylor were seen walking together, arms linked. "They're doing that couple hug walk," Dana said. She called out to Taylor and Becca. "You're in public! People can see you!"

"Dana, come on," Marcus said.

Dana and Marcus sneaked past the guards and hid near Cupid's van. "Love Goddess," a man said. "Sound check for Love Goddess."

The van's doors opened and Cupid. "Let's make some miracles happen." Then she noticed Dana and Marcus. "Oh, hi there. What can I do for you?"

"We need you to undo what you did to Becca and Taylor," Marcus said.

"Those two teens from the diner?" Cupid asked. She laughed lightheartedly. "I can't. I don't control peoples' hearts with magic. I let love naturally take its course."

"But-" Dana started to say.

"No buts," Cupid said. "Things will work out on its own."

"Love Goddess to the stage. Love Goddess to the stage."

"That's my cue," Cupid said. "Now remember: true love will solve any problem, no matter what the problem is." And with that, she got up on the stage.

Marcus and Dana hid behind a bush that Becca and Taylor were sitting in front of. Becca noticed Marcus. "Marcus!" she said, walking over to him. "Marcus, I just wanted to thank you. I've been so miserable since William broke up with me that I thought my life was over. But you were right. I just needed to move on. I'm finally happy, and I didn't need to use my singing ability."

"Becca, people are commenting on our picture," Taylor said.

Becca winked at Marcus as a way of saying thanks and walked back to Taylor.

"They are kinda perfect for each other," Dana said. "But what about our friend group?"

"Well, maybe Cupid is right and it'll sort itself out," Marcus said. "I mean, there's gotta be something that could bring everyone back together."

As if on cue, Trisha, who was wearing a jacket and hat to cover the snacks she was hiding, held up a cake. "Guys, I made a friendship cake," she said. "So let's all get over this, okay?"

Trisha got hit in the head with a beach ball, dropping the cake. She bent down to pick it up the cake, but her coat ripped, revealing the hidden snacks.

"Hey! Food from the outside!" a security guard said.

"Get her!" another security guard said.

The two security guards chased after Trisha, who screamed and ran.

The rest of the gang quickly noticed this.

"Whoa!" Liz said. "Hey, look!"

"Is that Trisha?" William asked.

Trisha was hugging onto a utility pole. The first security guard blew a whistle as the second security guard beat her with a broom. Trisha grunted as she was struck repeatedly. The group laughed.

"Yeah, fight the machine Trisha!" Liz said.

"Throw snacks at 'em!" William said.

"Use jerky as a weapon!" Becca said.

"Trisha!" Natalie cheered.

The teens continued the chant Trisha's name as the security guards beat her like a piñata with a broom. Liz playfully punched Natalie's shoulder and Natalie did the same. Taylor smiled apologetically at William, who did the same. Becca smiled at William and he smiled back apologetically.

"I think every just might be all right," Marcus said.

"Maybe someone up there really is a genius matchmaker," Dana said.

Trisha, who was now on the top of the utility pole, smiled at her friends, glad that the planned work. She was hit again and her friends continue to cheer as the guards beat her senselessly.
