Gideon Rises
3 watched Dipper worried. It's been a week since Gideon summoned Bill and stole the deed. Since the Shack was also Stan's home, he and the twins were out in the cold. Luckily Soos had offered to let them live with him. Unfortunately he lived with his Grandmother. Right now Dipper was tossing and turning on the foldout bed with Soos.
Finally, Dipper woke up and muttered, "I just had a horrible dream that Gideon stole the deed to the Mystery Shack, and kicked us out, and we all had to move in with Soos's grandma?"
"That was no dream, dude." Soos said tiredly, from next to him; scaring Dipper into screaming loud enough to scare everyone awake.
Soos's grandmother shushed Dipper politely, "Shh. Por Favor."
"Uh, sorry, Abuelita." Dipper said sheepishly.
"Oh, Soos, your grandma is so adorable! And her skin is old lady soft." Mabel said, touching her face and sighing in contentment.
"Creepy."
"Mabel, quit being creepy. The news is finally on." Stan scolded Mabel, turning up the television.
"In a movement that has all of Gravity Falls buzzing, child psychic Gideon Gleeful" The commercial shows a picture of Gideon surrounded by a litter of playful puppies, "has taken surprise ownership of the Mystery Shack, previously belonging to area shyster, Stanford Pines" it then shows a picture of Stan in a devil costume.
"That picture's taken out of context."
"Not to mention slanderous."
"Now that you have the shack, what exactly are you planning to do with it?" Shandra asked Gideon
"I have a big announcement to make today, and I'd like to cordially invite all the good people of Gravity Falls to join me. Free admission to anyone who wears their Gideon pins! It's my face!" The troll said sweetly and winking at the camera.
3 growled as Dipper muttered "I just can't believe Gideon beat us. Normally I'm able to save the day. This is all my fault." He placed his head in both of his hands in shame.
"Don't worry, Dipper. Looks like Mabel's going to have to be the hero of the family now. I'll defeat Gideon with my grappling hook!" She assured Dipper, pulling the grappling hook from somewhere out of her night gown.
"Mabel, no offense, but that grappling hook has literally never helped us once."
"You've never used it since you got it."
"Oh yeah? Jelly grab!"
Mabel shoots her grappling hook at a jar of jelly next to Abuelita, causing it to break and splatter jelly on the walls and her.
"That would've worked better with a suction cup, then a 3 pronged hook." 3 said and would've facepalmed if she still had her dreamscape body.
"I vacuum the walls now." Abuelita pulled out the vacuum and starts vacuuming the walls.
"So you lost the Shack. Look on the bright side, dudes! Now you get to live here with me, Soos! Hey, anyone want to play race cars? They're out of batteries but we can make pretend." Soos said sitting in the corner with an old race track then coughed up some food.
"Would that be a new low if I ate that? Ha ha I'm just kidding, I'm totally eating it!"
"Once again Soos, TMI."
"We gotta get the Shack back." Stan sighed.
That morning, the Pines, Soos, and 3 were dressed in trench coats and fake glasses to pass though security of their former home…
Gideon Gleeful came through a paper ring with his face on it and called, "Hello, Gravity Falls!"
The crowd cheered for the little toad and began talking amongst themselves.
"Gideon is the psychic-est. He guessed the secret ingredient to my coffee omelet!" Lazy Susan gushed.
"Somehow he knew about my horrifying secret birthmark!" Toby remarked.
Manly Dan yelled, "I love that child psychic so much!" And, to 3's pleasure, started to choke the useless cops.
"You're choking me!"
"Grandma, is that you?"
"We're in." Dipper whispered.
"Just gonna say it, I don't know what we're doing here, but I'm loving these fake mustaches."
3 sighed, "I know you do. But did you really have to tape a fake mustache and glasses to me?"
"Yes. Yes I did."
"If anyone asks, I'm not Soos." Soos leaned over and indicated his hat that had a sticky note that said, 'Not Soos.'
Gideon continued to talk to the crowd of his adoring morons, I mean, fans.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Today I am delighted to announce my plans for the former Mystery Shack. I give you... Gideonland!" He said as he pulled the tarp off a model near him to see a self-promoting amusement park that was just plain creepy to 3.
"What?!" The Shack gang cried, aghast.
"We're gonna turn this dirty ol' shack into three square miles of Gideon-tertainment. And introducing' our new mascot, Lil' Gideon Jr.!" He revealed Waddles dressed in a Gideon costume.
"That Gideon has no soul." 3 said horrified. "Why couldn't have been the evil goat?"
"Boom, he's a pig!"
Mabel stared; shocked that he would do that to her beloved pig, "Waddles! You monster!"
"All right, that's it!" Stan shouted, pulling off his disguise and the rest of the family following him to the stage.
"Listen up, people. Gideon's a fraud! This kid broke in and stole my property!" Stan told the crowd, angrily.
"Arrest him, officers!" Mabel pleaded desperate.
"Yeah!"
"He's nothing but a fraud!"
"Such accusations! Mr. Pines, I recall you gave the property to me. Look, here's the deed right here!" He pulls the deed out of his shirt as he says this.
"Well that's all the proof I need to see." Blubs shrugged, uncaring and 3's 'blood' boiled.
"I love you, Lil' Gideon! Sing them funny songs!" Durland shouted.
Gideon snaps his fingers and two burly guards kick the pines family off the stage.
"Hey!"
"Get your filthy hands off Dipper!" 3 screamed in outrage.
"Now get off my property, old man!" Gideon said superiorly as he slaps a Gideon pin on Stan's face.
"I'll show you who the old man is" He growled then yelped as his hearing aid acts up. "Ow, my hearing aid! Ow!" The Pines was carried off stage as Gideon continued to manipulate the town. "Thanks for visiting Gideonland, friends! Don't come back, I don't care for y'all." He taunted as they watched from the chain-linked fence.
Dipper kicked a rock and said, "Don't worry guys. We'll get the shack back somehow."
Wendy then appears next to them and said, "We better."
"Wendy!" Dipper stammered in surprise as 3 groaned quietly.
"If I can't work at the Shack, my dad's gonna force me to move upstate to work at my cousin's logging camp."
"What? You're leaving town? But we need you here!" Guess it isn't all bad…I mean, at least you get work.
"Yeah especially Dipper because of his giant crush on-" He trailed off when he saw Dipper and a pair of amber eyes glaring at him.
"...you...calyptus trees! Ha! The kid loves eucalyptus trees! Saved it!" Soos laughed nervously.
"I'll be back later." She sighed and ruffled Dipper's hair to his joy and 3's jealously and walked off.
They returned sadly to Abuelita's home who was concerned about how to support them, "This is not good. I cannot feed such a big family."
"Where are we gonna stay, Dipper? Where am I gonna put all my sweaters?"
"You two are probably going back to Piedmont" 3 said conflicted. On one hand happy that the twins won't be out in the cold. Nervous for leaving her only home behind and angry because Gideon won and still had her brother.
"What's Stan gonna tell Mom and Dad?"
"Mr. Pines will figure something out. He always does."
3 didn't have the heart to mention that Stan was also at the end of his rope and was bald face lying to their parents from the kitchen and they didn't seem to believe him.
"Grunkle Stan, can we order pizza?" Mabel asked and 3 heard a disheartened sigh from the old man.
3 remained silent when she felt 2's sadness from the house and showed her a vision of a terrified Waddles looking for Mabel.
"You! Back to your corner!" Gideon snarled and 3's heart went out to the little guy.
Bud Gleeful appears with his sad clown painting that Stan stole from somewhere, "I've been meaning to ask you boy. Shouldn't you be celebrating Gideonland instead of sticking your head in that there book all day?"
"Father, have I ever told you the true nature of this book?" Gideon asked and 3's spine chilled and felt 2's shame and terror.
"It was written many years ago by a brilliant unknown author who learned secrets too powerful for one man. He hid his journals where he thought no one would ever find them. Because he knew that if the journals were ever bought together, they would unleash a gateway to unimaginable power."
If 3 had eyebrows they would've furrowed, she didn't remember that, maybe she wasn't written yet?
"Codes and maps had led me to believe that the other book is buried somewhere on this very property, and I intend to find it!" 3 choked, remembering 1 was still underneath the Shack and 2 sent another pang to her.
"So that's why you wanted the Mystery Shack."
"That's right, father, it's time to begin the search for the other journal!"
The vision faded and 3 found herself back with the twins, playing with Soos's race car track.
"Go red car!" Mabel called at the immobile cars.
"Go other red car!"
"This would be a lot more fun with batteries."
Soos moves the red car then it bumps the other red car out of its place as Stan enters the room, clearing his throat.
"Kids, we've got to talk. Look I've been thinking and...I can't take care of you anymore. I don't have house or a job, the plan is you're going home. Your bus leaves tomorrow, here are your tickets."
"But Grunkle Stan, you can't give up!" Dipper pleaded, hating to see Stan like this.
"Yeah dude, look at these faces!" Soos said, placing an arm around each twin. "Be cuter Mabel! Your summer depends on it!"
"Look, I lost, okay? The best thing is for you to be with your parents. Sorry kids, Gideon won. Summer's over." He said depressed, placing the tickets on the table and left with Soos following after him.
"Mabel, that's enough. If Stan won't get our home back from Gideon, then we'll have to do it ourselves." Dipper declared.
"Gideon may have the upper hand, but we have something he doesn't."
"3!" He said holding up an embarrassed 3
"A grappling hook!" She said holding up her grappling hook.
Mabel paused and said, "Oh. 3...3!" She cheered
The next morning, the twins and 3 hid out next to the Mystery Shack hiding in the bushes, "Alright, the bus to take us out of Gravity Falls comes at sundown. If we wanna stay in town we've got to get past those guards, make it through the fence, and get Gideon to hand over that deed."
"Leave that to Mabel. Wa-chaw!" Mabel shoots the grappling hook. It hits a tree branches then ricochets to Dipper. It hits him in the face once, then twice.
"DIPPER!? ARE YOU ALL RIGHT!?"
"Ah! I can feel my mouth. Now will you admit the grappling hook is useless?"
"Nope!"
"Forget about the Grappling Hook already!"
"Ok. What can we use to defeat Gideon? Let's see... Barf fairy?"
"Yeah!"
"No."
"Nope. Butternut Squash with a Human Face and Emotions?"
"Yeah!"
"No."
"Nope."
"Whoa, what's this?" Mabel asked, pointing toward a blue print in 3.
"I stared at this page for hours and 3 has no idea what it is. It seems like a blueprint to build some kind of strange futuristic super weapon-"
"BORING! To defeat those guards we need some kind of army." Mabel interrupted.
"...Wait a minute! An army! Mabel, that's it! The gnomes!"
"Uhh..." She nervously tugs her sweater's collar.
"You can't be serious, Dipper…"
"Do you two have any better ideas?" The girls reluctantly said no and followed Dipper into the woods where the gnomes lived.
"I think this is their hiding spot."
"I wonder what Gnomes do out here all alone in the forest."
"They have squirrel baths." The twins looked at 3 strangely. "I've been in this part of the forest for +30 years; I've heard these kinds of things."
They shrugged and screamed in disgust when they saw what 3 said, Jeff bathing in squirrels.
"Do do do…Aah! This...this is normal. This is normal for Gnomes. Scrub, scrub." He defended, scrubbing his armpit with a squirrel.
Dipper and Mabel shared a look of disgust and turned back to Jeff.
"Well, well, well. Look who came crawling back. Take five, Chris. You guys keep doing what you're doing. So, changed your mind about marrying me, did ya Mabel?" Jeff asked Mabel with a wink.
"Ew, hardly. We need your help. And seriously, ew!"
"You want our help? After you left me at the alter? No dice!"
"From what I remember, you were threating to kill her and her brother into marrying you perverts."
Mabel smiled deviously and in a sweet tone, "But what if we were able to get you a new queen? One even more beautiful than me."
"Her name's Gideon and she has lovely white hair."
"I like your style."
"Whoa. Mature woman, huh? Hey Shmebulock, get my cologne!"
"Shmebulock!"
"Is Shmebulock all you can say?" Jeff asked the wild looking gnome.
Shmebulock paused and said sadly, "Shmebulock..."
"It would've be more funny if he said, 'yes'"
"It's a deal!" Jeff said as he shakes hands with Dipper.
Dipper, 3, and Mabel wait outside the Mystery Shack and Gideon comes over.
"Give us the deed to the shack, Gideon, or else." Dipper shouted when the little twerp came into view.
"Am I supposed to say, 'Or else what?'" He mocked.
"Yes, you are supposed to say that. Now!" Mabel yelled
Gideon's two body guards fell to two gnomes in their back and gnomes riding a deer and rabbits smashed though the fence and surround Gideon.
"You're surrounded by an unstoppable gnome army, now give us back our deed and get off our property!" Dipper said yelled.
"And let the marriage ceremony begin!" Jeff called happily.
Gideon sighs and reached into his shirt, "Very well. I suppose this deed belongs to-" He pulls out a dog whistle and blows, causing the gnomes to fall to the ground, clutching their ears in pain.
"Ha! What do you know! Works on gnomes too!" Gideon cackled as he blew a second time.
"Stop! We'll do anything! How can we serve you your majesty! The most beautiful girl we've ever seen!" Jeff groveled, bowing towards Gideon who looked thunderous. We're screwed.
"I am not a girl!"
"Could've fooled me."
"Really? But your skin is so soft. You moisturize, or..." So that's where Wendy's moisturizer went!
Gideon pointed at 3, Dipper, and Mabel, "Subdue them!"
The gnomes grunted and charged at Dipper and Mabel.
"I have to admit, kids, I am impressed by your creativity! How did you ever…"
Dipper struggled frantic and yelled, "Let go!" To Mabel's, Dipper's and 3's horror, 3 fell out of Dippers pocket, "Oh no!"
"Dipper!"
"No! Could it be? Is it?" Gideon runs up to Journal 3 and picks her up.
"Take your filthy hands off me!" 3 whispered and the gnomes shuddered in fear, looking around anxiously as Dipper struggled to get to 3.
Gideon ignored the voice and tension, overwhelmed with giddiness. "Of course! It all makes sense! The one place I'd never think to look! You had it the whole time! And to think I actually considered you a threat!" Gideon said tauntingly, flicking his nose smugly.
"No! Give her- I mean, it back!" Dipper quickly amended, not wanting Gideon to know that the Journals are alive and tried to reach her.
"Every victory you had was because of your precious book!"
"Give her-it back or I'll-"
"Or you'll what, boy? You'll what? Huh? Huh? No muscles. No brains. Face it! You're nothing without this!" He said superiorly, waving the ominously quiet 3 around. "Bye bye forever, y'all!" He whistles once more, and the gnomes carry Dipper and Mabel away.
"No!" 3 looked on passively as her owner and his sister was carried away. Gideon laughed all the way back into the Shack but froze when he heard a voice.
"Gideon Charles Gleeful…your downfall and death will occur very soon. Your stupidly thought out actions will now cost you everything you've acquired." The shadowy voice echoed ominously throughout the room.
Gideon tried to shake off the voice but he could now feel invisible eyes burning into him from all corners of the Shack and he fled upstairs.
2 meanwhile shuddered, he knew…he knew 3 will soon truly snap and he prayed that the entire West Coast was still standing when she finally calmed down or that Dipper will reunite with her. Because, he was the only thing standing between her and death for all who lived here.
3 was still silent when Gideon placed her on his work table and fled, trying to escape the feeling of the Grim Reaper himself was looking down on him. 3's pages were now pulsing threateningly and her awareness extended to engulf the entire town to find her owner looking disheartened.
"Well, that's it. Guess the bus should be here soon." Dipper said sadly, making circles in the dirt.
"What? Dipper, don't give up! You always have a plan!" Mabel tried.
"No! The 3 always has a plan! Think about it, Mabel, Gideon was right. The only courageous or cool things I've ever done have been because 3 was with me. Without her, I can't help you, or 3, or Stan, or anyone. She was the one who lead me throughout our summer and now because of me, she's now Gideon's captive!"
"There's gotta be something we can do? We can save her, right?" Mabel asked quietly.
"What can we do? Face it, without 3, I'm nothing…" Mabel looked away, hoping for a miracle. 3 watched as Dipper and Mabel packed sadly and soon went to the bus station with Grunkle Stan and 3 pulsed even quicker. 2 shuddered from his place and knew the moment crossed the Gravity Falls line, all hell will break loose.
"Bus fifty-two, departing Gravity Falls, all aboard." Dipper and Mabel walk to the back of the bus and look out the window to see Stan
"Sorry kids, it's for the best."
The bus leaves with Wendy, Grunkle Stan, Grenda and Candy outside the window upset and waving at Dipper and Mabel as the bus departs and the pulse started to become more and more chaotic.
"Can't believe this is happening."
Gideon giggled, finally forgetting his fear, "I've got it! I finally got it!" He yelled at his parents, "Get out!"
"It's finally mine! At last, I have journal number…Three?! There are THREE of them? But where is journal number one? I must have all three for the power to be unlocked! But where could I- Dipper! He must know where it is! He gave me the third one and kept the first for himself!" He ripped out a chunk of his hair.
"I can't let him leave Gravity Falls!" He grabs the anxious 2 and pulsing 3 and runs out of the Mystery Shack, "You there!" He pointed at Old Man McGucket working on the giant Gideon, "Is it ready?"
"He he he! Only one way to find out!" He pulls a lever on Gideon-Bot and the robot glows.
Gideon runs inside the robot and is in his motion-sensor suit, he then punches his right hand, and the robot pushes the Gideonland sign into the ground. The Gideon-Bot walks away.
"I've got a good feeling about that kid!"
3 watched as Gideon chased Dipper's bus and yelled, "Halt! I command you to halt!" Gideon-bot blocks the way with its hand. Soos turns the bus and smashes through a "Road Closed" sign. The Gideon-bot starts to climb up the mountain.
"He already won! What does he want from us?" 3 could here Dipper scream and calmed a bit from being near him.
"I got you in my sight!"
"Soos, cliff!"
Soos breaks the bus right before the bus falls off the cliff. The wheel of the bus is not on the cliff so it can't move. The Gideon-bot comes right after and shakes the bus and tears off the ceiling of it, revealing there is only Soos.
"This is familiar."
"Okay. What's closest to our present situation Raccoon in the engine or angry grandparents won't leave bus? Proba-probably the second one."
The Gideon-bot turns itself finding the Pines twins on the bridge. The Pines twins runs but soon finds that the bridge had dead ends. The Gideon-bot jumps on the bridge.
"Tell me! Where is Journal 1?" Gideon yelled at Dipper
Dipper and Mabel asked, "Journal 1?" Though Dipper couldn't help but feel relief that Gideon hadn't found 1 sleeping in the secret passage way.
"Don't play games with me, boy!"
The Gideon-bot drives the twins to the end and punches the cliff, causing rocks to fall on the twins and 3 was now glowing, not that Gideon noticed.
"I don't know what you're talking about! You took the only journal I ever had! What do you even want with these journals anyway?" Dipper yelled back, lying through his teeth.
The Gideon-bot takes the twins as they both pounded on the metallic fists.
"Let go of her!"
"Ha ha ha, you still think you're some kind of hero?" Gideon taunted and threw Dipper onto another cliff and 3 went still when she saw blood leak from his nose and a soft mist started to flow out of its cover.
"Once I find the final journal I'll rule this town! With you as my queen!" Gideon laughed turning away.
"Dipper! Help me! HELP!"
"Gideon…"
Dipper sadly walks to the forest. But then, Dipper runs and jumps off the cliff breaking in the Gideon-bot, tackling Gideon. And glared down at him and said in a calm voice, "Give me back 3 and let go of my sister." He then punched Gideon in the jaw and straddled him, raining blows onto the demonic 9-year old.
"Never! I finally won this time! "
Gideon then tackles Dipper and punches him. Dipper stands up and blocks Gideon's punch. Then he makes Gideon's fist to punch himself. Then Dipper makes him punch a little stronger which makes Gideon to fall to the ground. Dipper got up and smirked, he turned away from Gideon to the broken eye to grab Mabel, not noticing that Gideon had gotten up and taken out a dagger from his suit.
3 looked over and screamed, "Dipper get out of the way!"
Dipper whirled just in time for Gideon to stab him in the abdomen. Everyone froze, disbelieving at what occurred; Gideon then grinned maliciously and growled, "You should've just left it alone, boy." He twisted the dagger and ripped it out of Dipper who shrieked in pain and fell to the ground.
"DIPPER!" 3 and Mabel screamed in horror and the blood splattered onto 3's cover.
"I win this time, boy." He raises the dagger again to strike Dipper's heart when an enraged banshee scream echoed around the room and an oppressive aura hung in the air.
"You…Hurt…Him…" A voice of pure insanity, ice-cold fury, and loathing echoed across the area. A harsh wind filled the cockpit and the sky darkened to a blood red. Dipper blinked away tears of pain and saw a figure standing behind Gideon raising razor sharp claws and swiped at his head
"Wha!" Gideon screamed and scrambled away, nearly getting decapitated. The figure walked slowly forward and into the fading sunlight. Dipper's eyes widened, it was 3, but not in her Dreamscape body. 3 was now as tall as Wendy and her hair is now hip length and messy; her eyes were blood red and her skin was yellow and seemed to made out of rolled up paper. Her face was set in a Cheshire smile that extended to the sides of her ears and her fingers were now floor length blades. (A/N: Picture a Witch from Left 4 Dead with a Titan smile.)
"Wh-What are you!" Gideon stammered, backing away clutching the dagger to his chest in fear.
3 snarled at Gideon and spoke in a chilling voice, "Your Death." And lunged, wrapping her claws around Gideon's neck, her claws leaving paper cuts in the boys neck as she choked him. Gideon turned his dagger on her and clipped the side of her face, ink spattering across the room. Gideon pressed her back, slicing the side of her hip, causing more ink to well up. She backed up, backhanded him and his hand, forcing him to drop the dagger covered in ink and blood. She then swiped his face, leaving 4 thin trails of blood across Gideon's cherubic face.
He screamed and grabbed his face, curling into the ball in the corner of the room. 3 spat out a blob of ink and advanced on the fallen megalomaniac, raising her talons for the final strike when Dipper lurched in front of Gideon, blocking him from 3.
"Out of the way Dipper." 3 said coldly, never taking her eyes off the weeping Gideon.
Dipper flinched at her tone but stared into her glowing eyes defiantly. "You won. You don't need to kill him."
She hissed in anger, "Bullshit! He was kidnapping your sister and was going to kill you and sleep like a baby! Why should I show him mercy!?"
Dipper took a deep breath; it wouldn't help to pass out from blood loss now, "Because you're better." Dipper gave her a weak smile as his vision became blurry, "If you kill him, then he will win in the end. He will win by forcing you to give up your humanity and morality just for him. Besides, I think the loss of his looks is punishment enough, we also need to know where he…hid…2…and the deeee…" Dipper trailed off as he collapse breathing shallowly, still clutching his bleeding side.
She stared down at Dipper and let out a feral scream of frustration and destroyed a machine nearby. She sighed in defeat and gently picked Dipper up, minding her claws; she tore off some of her clothing and bandaged the wound. "Damn it." She sighed again and patted his hair. "You're too compassionate for you own good."
"Dipper!? 3, is Dipper okay!?" Mabel yelled, clambering into the cockpit and gasped when she saw the now calm 3 holding a bleeding Dipper. "What happened!?"
"Gideon stabbed him. I sliced his face and nearly killed him if Dipper hadn't gotten in the way." 3 said, puffing out a breath in annoyance.
Mabel touched her brother's clammy skin and looked at 3. "Did you snap?"
"Yes. And I would do it again if it meant his safety, did 2 tell you?"
Mabel was about to reply when the bot jerked.
"Wha-?"
The bot shook and they separated as the robot fell of the bridge. Mabel and 3 could dimly hear Soos screaming and the robot fell off the bridge. 3 quickly separated her body into pages and created a protective cocoon around Dipper and Mabel managed to use her grappling hook to safely lower herself to the ground and clearing away from the explosion.
The bot falls on the ground and it causes an explosion big enough for everyone in the town to see. The Gideon-bot is broken, and its pieces are all around.
"GRAPPING HOOK! Mabel quickly released the hook and started to delve through the wreckage, confident 3 protected her brother as everyone from town appeared with cameras. The cops come and lots of people started to gather around.
"Is this the thing that exploded?"
"What's going on?"
"What is that? It's over here!" They murmured as they gathered around as Gideon climbed weakly from the wreckage.
Deputy Durland ran towards the tike and lifted him from the debris. "Gideon! Oh, good heavens! What on earth happened here? What happened to your face?"
Gideon pointed at Mabel, "It was the Pines twins! They attacked me and blew up my statue with dynamite! They had one of their teenaged friends cut me because they were jealous! Arrest them!"
"What!? Officers, he's lying!" Mabel pleaded.
"Sorry kids, but we trust Gideon. And nothing short of a miracle would ever change our-" Blubs was interrupted when Stan appeared in his car screaming.
"Wait! Wait! Stop everything! I've got something to say!"
"Not this guy again."
"Just wait! Look! You guys all think Gideon is so perfect and honest, 'Oh! I could never tell a lie! I'm Gideon!'"
"He's more honest than you!"
"Yeah! And he's psychic too!"
"How's this for psychic? Bam!" He kicks the Gideon-bot and a panel falls off to show a secret room with TV's showing everyone in Gravity Falls. "Take a good look!"
"Wait a minute, is that ME?" Lazy Susan gasped looking at a screen that was saying, "The secret ingredient to my coffee omelet is coffee!"
"And me!" Toby yelled as the Doctor said, "I can verify that that birth mark is indeed disgusting." As the Toby on screen cheered. The crowd pointed in horror as they identified themselves on random screens.
"That's right, these pins are hidden cameras! And my hearing aid was picking up the feedback! Who's the fraud now?" He declared breaking the pin to reveal that there was a camera in the eye of it.
The people all threw away the pins and looks at the bleeding and sweating Gideon.
"Gideon, we gave you our trust..." Durland said in a betrayed voice.
"You LIED to us!" Manly Dan yelled.
"Please, I... It's not what it looks like... What are you gonna do with me?"
"Tyler?" Durland asked, looking at the man who usually hung out with Dan, he looked heartbroken and crying and he said.
"Get him…Get him!"
"Lil' Gideon, you are under arrest for conspiracy, fraud, and breaking our hearts."
"Don't forget 3 counts of attempted murder and kidnapping of the Pines twins." Everyone gasped and looked up to see 3, in her 12 year old form, carrying the barely awake Dipper from the wreck.
"Dipper!" Mabel and Stan yelled, rushing towards the human book, gently setting Dipper down on a piece of rubble so that the doctor could look at his wound.
"I can verify that is indeed a stab wound, any higher..." He said gravely.
The townspeople were now looking at Gideon in horror and disgust as 3 held up the dagger Gideon used. "Gideon Gleeful used this dagger on Dipper Pines and scratched myself with it when we tried to prevent his sister's abduction."
"W-wait…s-she's lying! I was defending myself! He was beating me and she was never there! It was-wait! You were the demon cut up my face!"
"Such accusations, Gideon!" 3 said with a sharks smile. "Why, I recall you saying the Pines twins said they blew up the statue with dynamite and a teenager cut you up, not a so called demon."
Blubs was now glaring at Gideon and said in a tight voice, "Durland, the tiny handcuffs."
"Wha- no! Let go of me! Ow! Ow! Ow! She's a demon! A living book! You have to believe me!"
"I believe this belongs to me." Stan said, shaking down Gideon as 2 and the deed fell out of his suit.
"No! No! Watch the hair! You can't do this to me! You're all are sheep! You need me! I'll be back! You'll hear from my lawyers!
Shandra Jimenez spoke into the camera and said, "There you have it. Local hero Stanford Pines and this mysterious young girl have just exposed Lil Gideon as a fraud. Anything you have to say to the town, Stanford?"
"The Mystery Shack is back, baby!"
Shandra turned to 3 and stuck her microphone out, "And who are you Miss? How did you get involved with this investigation? And what's your relation to the Pines family?"
"I…err…"
"She's up incoming child detective, Polaris Dirgel! Me and Dipper told her about Gideon and she offered to help! Here's her ID!" Mabel said, shoving a surprisingly well-made fake ID into the camera.
"There you go! The fake child psychic Gideon Gleeful was defeated by the Pines and child detective, Miss Dirgel."
Soon the Pines with 3 or Polaris, returned to the Shack, destroying anything remotely Gideon. Mabel even threw Waddle's Gideon Jr. costume in the fireplace as 3 helped Dipper unpack so he doesn't aggravate his stitches.
"Wow what a week." Dipper sighed as he leaned back on the bed.
"You're telling me." Mabel sighed contently.
Dipper turned to 3 and asked, "So…are you going to tell me how you got a body? Or what happened back there?"
3 blushed and said, "Right…I think when we did the dream entering spell recently, it helped displace my consciousness enough for me to create a new body when stressed enough and when Dipper's blood splattered onto my cover." 3 said looking at the bulge of his bandages. "I still can't believe that little toad stabbed you."
"Yeah, but you turned out to be the better man." Dipper said with a wink and playfully punching her shoulder. She grinned and punched back, which made him hiss. "Ow, a little too hard, Polaris." He turned to Mabel and asked, "What was with that, anyway?"
Mabel grinned and said, "Well since 3 now has a body, I figured she needed a good disguise so no one will question us when we hang out together. Polaris Dirgel happened to be the only fake ID on me at the time. I even have Debby Misty, Cassdra Mystrium, and Missy Mystery."
"I think I'll keep Polaris Dirgel." 3 said laughing; she then grew serious and said, "I'm more concerned about Stan and my brothers."
The twins sobered and Mabel asked, "What's with them?"
Dipper looked guilty and said, "Oh, yeah. We forgot to tell you during the craziness of Gideon taking over. Back in Stan's mind we saw that Stan had Journal 1 and had a secret passage behind the vending machine."
"Yeah, and Stan took 2 when we were concentrating on Dipper's wound." 3 continued as Mabel widened her eyes.
"What do we do?"
"Well we can't let Stan have the Journal's. As much as I don't like it, we can't let him control 3's brothers. We somehow have to steal them from under his nose and hide them." Dipper declared, wincing as his stitches complained. "But how…?"
The three were in deep though until 3 sighed. "It can't be helped. We'll have to reveal myself to him."
"What, no!"
"He can't know about you being alive, 3!"
"No, I'll turn back into a book and he will take me to my brother's and do whatever it is he's after and when he's away, I'll grab them and use the copier upstairs and replace them. He'll never now."
After a few more minutes of arguing, the twins conceded and 3 returned to being a book; just in time to, Stan opened the door.
"Hey, Grunkle Stan!" Mabel said cheerily, faking her obviousness.
Stan looked around. "Where'd that Polaris girl go? I didn't see her leave."
"She was running late and she left through the window." Dipper said, shrugging carefully.
"Huh, weird girl. So uh, anyway how are you kiddos settling back in?"
"Yep! All of my favorite moldy spots on the ceiling are still there! Even you, Daryl."
"Hey, Grunkle Stan, me and Mabel have been talking, And I think there's something we should finally tell you." He said, pulling out the tense 3.
"This is a journal I found in the woods. It talks about all the crazy stuff that goes on in Gravity Falls. Gideon nearly destroyed the whole town trying to find it. I don't know what it means, or who wrote it. But, after all we've been through, maybe you should finally know about it." Dipper said as he handed her to Stan to look through.
Stan solemnly closes the book and burst out laughing, "I'm glad you showed me this, Dipper... AHAHAHA! Now I know where you've been getting it all from! Spookums and monsters. This kooky book has been filling your head with crazy conspiracies!"
"But it's all real!" Dipper said genuinely insulted.
"Ha-ha. You gotta quit reading' this fantasy nonsense for your own good. Although some of these would make great attractions! Can't come up with this stuff! Mind if I borrow this?" Stan left with 3, just as they planned and Dipper turned to a worried Mabel.
"I hope this works."
That night, when the twins were asleep, Stan enters a code to enter the doorway behind the vending machine. He climbs down a set of stairs to an elevator. He opens panel besides the elevator and inputs alchemical symbols that 3 didn't know and went down to the 3rd floor, well that's ironic. 3 thought as they descended in the elevator
Stan exits into a room filled with complex looking machines and sensors. He walks past them to a desk and switchboard. He opens the desk and pulls out a book, revealing it to be Journal 1.
"After all these years."
Stan sets down 1, 2, and 3. Onto the table next to him.
"Finally we have them all." 'We?' 3 and 2 asked silently while 1 remained quiet, though he did pulse to acknowledge them.
Stan puts together Journals 1, 2, and 3, revealing a complex image algorithm. He confers it as he presses buttons and switches. A machine beyond the glass of the switchboard lights up.
"It's working!"
3 and 2 watched as Stan rushes to the room with the machine and pushes a large lever in front of it. The machine crackles with large bursts of electricity sending beams of light in every direction, and finally turns on completely; a bright, white light emanating from its central hole, blowing a steady stream of air at Stan. Stan stands proudly in front of it. His hands on his hips, and smiles in satisfaction."
"Here we go."
What are you up to Grunkle Stan?
A/N: Well that was slightly violent. 3 now has a semi-permeant body, reunited with her brother's, snapped, and now is a child detective. Now she will interact more with the town.
