=-=-=-=With Dipper in his Castle=-=-=-=-=
Dipper couldn't help but smile as he heard the giggles of specific girls within nearby rooms. Some might see this as creepy, but he was just making some rounds around the castle in search of things he needed to handle. But while he was walking by, he took notice of his sister being distracted in her duties. Why is he smiling over this? Because she was foiling the plan of two people that actually stood a chance at beating him.
When Grenda and Candy had infiltrated his castle, before getting caught by his robot army, he had begun to make some plans. He had been a bit nervous, thinking he was going to have to set them on fire to keep his plan from falling through. Until Pacifica stood up for them.
That right there told him their entire plan.
Grenda and Candy would sneak in and rescue Pacifica. However, this plan was only the first half, because if they could get away with just getting in and getting out with her, then huzzah. But if they got caught, it had to get a little more complicated. They had been making plans to do something to make their capture work. They however did not expect him to give them express tickets to accomplish their plans within the first night, which threw Candy's plan off slightly.
Dipper had given them high positions based solely on Pacifica's recommendation, and Candy had expected and planned for harsh treatment at first. But what she got, were weapons, access to his army, and an invite to a slumber party. Mabel had finished the take down of their little rebellion without even realizing it. It even had a bonus effect of cheering up his princess.
Dipper had started this timeline with the expectations of harsh battles and arguments at first, but everything was just breezing right through. Get him a pair of sunglasses and a fruity beverage in a coconut, and don't forget the little umbrella.
Dipper could tell that Candy and Grenda were enjoying their time with Mabel, and with all three of them there, Pacifica was drawn out of her own shell. Dipper was employing a trap that Bill had used in his first year here. If you enjoyed being in the cage, you will lose all thought of trying to get out.
In the end, Pacifica, Candy, and Grenda were his prisoners. There was no way to sugar coat these things. He wants Pacifica to become his queen, and Candy and Grenda were threats to him, so he had no choice but to lock them away in his castle. So he just prettied up the cage, put a delicious cake in the center of it, and allowed the two birdies fly right in, bringing his total to three.
Candy and Grenda hadn't realized it yet, but they hadn't done anything to escape. Their plan lay forgotten as they were enjoying their time with Mabel. She even showed Candy her wand, which actually caused the girl to change her choice of weapon, which he gladly made her, her own magical staff. It was not as fancy as Mabel's, and Candy had started to pout, before he showed her to a room where he had set up a workshop, so she could decorate and advance it as she wished.
Candy had forgotten all about escaping, while Grenda had just been content with protecting her friends. As the girls were allowed to have their fun, Mabel had never been happier.
Mabel had made mention of how she could bring in her two friends eventually, so they had more people for generals. That girl was too optimistic if you asked him.
Dipper had his doubts that those two would want to join a villain. Especially since one had a job at a dinner in Piedmont, and the other was in the middle of an internship at some fancy business.
Dipper's main reason for coming this year, is because Mabel was feeling down from everyone ditching her. Even the popular girls that were trying to get her to join them because there were some guys that refused to join their little parties because she didn't want to.
That was a toxic issue he wanted to get Mabel away from. Those girls had planned to get Mabel as their friend, so she would drag him into their little parties, where they would try to get him drunk enough to fuck them. Obviously, he saw right through the plan, and even warned Mabel about it.
And now, he had a castle, a princess, two generals, and his right-hand sister. Dipper did his best to ignore the fact that it looked like he was forming a harem, considering his army was filled with mindless robots, and hot chicks. Things could have been planned better.
Maybe he could hire Soos for something? Nah, the guy was too attached to Stan, he would never agree unless he got Stan on his side as well. Not a bad idea honestly, Stan was actually a real contender for a proper minion. The more Dipper thought about it, the more the idea appealed to him.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=With Wendy=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Wendy just glared at the gnomes. Apparently, the little creeps would only give her the bladed staff if she agreed to marry all one thousand of them. Which she obviously didn't want to.
From what she understood though, was that the gnomes, or Jeff in this case, had stolen the staff from the fairies that found it, having even caged the little things up.
Fuck this shit.
Jeff had a hard time following what Wendy did, but one moment she was standing there, contemplating giving into his demands, and the next, he had a broken arm and the fairies he had kidnapped for their dust, were broken free as they retrieved the staff.
Wendy had ran into this little scenario rather suddenly, the Multi bear had pointed her towards the Fairies first, seeing as their king was the latest issue that cropped up, so it would have probably been the least guarded, due to it not having enough time to set up a whole lot.
Well, this little bastard was giving them that time. And now, Wendy was busy beating the ever-loving shit out of them all. Jeff was reminded of the last time he went after a fiery red head.
Some Sheela or other. He regretted everything that day as well. This was the last straw, if the chick was a red head, she was automatically marked as not queen material.
Jeff shivered as he saw Wendy almost flip the staff around to use the sharp end when Shmebuloch wound up bouncing off a tree and smacking her ass. Poor guy was almost neutered.
=-=-=-=-=-=Back with Dipper=-=-=-=-=-=
Dipper used a magical crystal ball to keep an eye on Wendy, having believed that the girls were all in Mabel's room, still enjoying their slumber party. Until he heard the door to his (Preston's) study.
Turning, he found Pacifica. "Hello my dear."
Pacifica looked around, noticing the shell that usually hovered behind him was off to the side, leaning onto a bookshelf. She stepped forward as she looked at the orb, seeing Wendy, or the Corderoy girl as she saw her, using a four-foot, white staff to beat a bunch of gnomes senseless.
"What are you watching?" Pacifica did not expect a proper answer, she had expected the man to just say 'nothing' before turning to address her fully. But that is not what happened.
"Well, I know for a fact, there is a weapon within the woods out there that can give someone an advantage over me. Allowing them to potentially stop me from ruling this town my way. And I am using this magical orb to keep an eye on a hero that is trying to collect the pieces to it. I figure that I could watch her solve the puzzles and send out my minions to steal the pieces from her. The perfect plan to keep our rule strong."
Pacifica stepped up next to him and watched as Wendy finished using the spear-like shaft to bat away some gnomes that were lagging behind as the rest ran away. Dipper snorted as he spoke up again. "Those gnomes are pathetic; they had found a piece of the weapon and didn't even use it to take what they wanted."
Pacifica looked between the crystal ball and Dipper. She had honestly put some actual thought into her choice of accepting him as her king. Accepting being his queen. She had always feared what would happen when she turned eighteen, and now she was free to do as she wished with it. And all this man wanted, was for her to be his of her own free will.
Pacifica had left the slumber party under the pretense of using the bathroom. And she had indeed used it, before noticing that she could snoop. She had found the door to her father's old study to be unlocked, but when she tried to see what the man was doin, he heard her messing with the door.
And now, he was sharing his plans to manipulate one of the only townsfolk that stood a chance of facing him. Pacifica was not blind, nor was she foolish. There was a reason she never messed with the older girl, before or after she accepted her place in the Northwest clan.
If he had said he was going to manipulate and attack Wendy a couple days ago, she would have laughed at him. Telling him he was lucky the girl's mother had passed on. But here he was, watching and plotting.
Pacifica also watched as Wendy was confronted by the fairies, showing the girl a map, obviously asking her for help, even though the girl just saved their asses. Wendy sighed as she shrugged. Taking the map and heading off towards the lake.
Pacifica shifted her attention towards Dipper, as her eyes traveled down his stature, licking her lips as she checked him out. Pacifica had seen Mabel's legs when the girl swapped out her sweater dress and yoga pants for a nightgown. Those legs were not something a person could ignore, especially when she managed to hold Grenda off for a good bit. Grenda had won in the end but being able to use just one leg to hold off the youngest girl to hold a record at the gym for highest dead lift.
You don't mess with legs like that.
The girl had mentioned, teasing them about how Dipper focused more on his upper body strength, and enjoyed working out in his shorts, as well as how he could handle her with an arm tied behind his back. Or how he trained her to be able to use moves you could only find in videogames. Pacifica hugged Dipper from behind, taking a moment to feel his physique against her body.
Dipper was caught off guard as he felt Pacifica hug him, not expecting the girl to want this so soon. While he did decorate her cage, it was still a cage she has been trapped in her entire life. Dipper was distracted from his thoughts as Pacifica pulled him along to the master bedroom.
Dipper was distracted as he was pulled away from watching Wendy fall for his game. So distracted, he missed the young dark-haired girl enter the room as he left, her glasses glinting in the light of the viewing orb.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=Back with Wendy=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Wendy was making her way on a boat towards Scuttlebutt Island. The fairies apparently needed her to rescue their king, who was given off to some weird singing gator. Wendy swore that if she had to do this with every part for her weapon, she was going to stab everything she meets.
Wendy was just stepping off the boat, the ambidextrous handle within her right hand. Yes, a real lumberjack/jane could tell the difference. A ringing caught the girl off guard. The last thing Wendy expected was for someone to call her, let alone be able to reach her here. So as she answered it, she was surprised who it was. Candy.
"Hey Wendy, it's me, Candy Chiu."
Gravity Falls was a small town, so while the two never hung out, they did know each other. And Wendy also knew how Candy was friends with Pacifica after having found the girls hanging out near the mystery shack.
"How were you able to reach me out here?"
"Not important, but I and Grenda have infiltrated Dipper's castle, and I have Pacifica distracting Dipper as I do some snooping. And I found something to help you."
Wendy was all for some extra help, and so she patiently waited for what the girl had to say.
"I have been snooping in, well, Preston's old study, but Dipper has claimed it, and has been using it to spy on you. He has this giant crystal ball he was using to watch you deal with some gnomes to get the staff you got now. I also can tell you that the monster you are hunting, is about thirty feet towards the east side of the island, while there appears to be some type of glowing on the west.
I am unaware why Dipper's viewing orb would mark that spot like that, but it might be worth checking out. I feel I should warn you though, I overheard him telling Paz that he plans to send minions out to steal the shards of the weapon from you. He knows about how it can stop him."
Wendy smiled as she nodded. Candy hung up without saying any more, leaving Wendy slightly worried, but optimistic in her chances for this little game she has found herself in.
=-=-=-=-=-=Back in the castle=-=-=-=-=-=
Candy had to quickly hide as she hung her phone, it already being on silent as she hid underneath Dipper's shell.
Candy had decided to do something productive, so she had drunk enough that when she had to pee, she really had to pee. So after using the restroom, she had found Pacifica also coming back from the restroom.
The two spoke about how they were happy the other was okay, but Candy also had to explain that Dipper and Mabel were taking over the town and using his robot army to force everyone to follow his rules and laws.
The mayor, Tyler Cutebiker, was relieved of duty, kicked from office as Dipper demanded obedience. Dipper proceeded to demand that everyone stay within their homes while they redecorated the town to their liking. Mabel had then gone about and guided the robot army in moving and repurposing several buildings that went unused for so long.
Candy honestly had little things to say that were bad as of yet, but apparently there were plenty creatures from the woods that had bad things to say about the man. Candy mentioned several creatures that looked to have been dragged right out of a fantasy novel.
Manotaurs that were crying over losing their home, and the creatures known as Billies that were collared and controlled. Candy even mentioned creatures that looked like campfires but acted more akin to dogs. There were three large creatures that were green and hairy that were collared and groaning in pain. Apparently, Dipper had made machines to take control of creatures and monsters from throughout the woods to give his army some variety. Other than just robot turtles.
Pacifica would have normally just demanded answers, but the fact that the man marched into Gravity Falls and forced his rule over the creatures that hid in the woods, before asserting dominance over the human residents.
What was she supposed to do? The man had wanted her to be his queen, that gave her a level of control over his army and actions, right? Or was he just taking advantage of her? Was she just arm candy, or did he truly love her? There must be something there, or he would have just taken any girl to warm his bed. Or forced her to join him in his bed at all.
Dipper has been nothing but kind to her this entire time, why would he use his inventions to trap and control creatures that have not been a danger so far to the town?
So Pacifica agreed to help Candy get to the bottom of Dipper's plan. Which led her to distract him, and after getting a feel for his body, she knew a way to really test how much he actually liked her.
So as Pacifica led Dipper to what she knew used to be her parent's room, Candy was able to snoop through the study. Until Mabel came to look for her missing friends.
Mabel entered the room, Candy using a small finger cam of her own make, that showed what it saw as on the right lens in her glasses.
All the girl had to do, was have a finger poking out from the corner of the shell at the bottom, where Mabel wouldn't have looked to see it, and she could have an eye on where Mabel was so she could prepare if needed.
Candy saw Mabel step up to the giant orb, looking slightly annoyed. "Hmm, Dippy mentioned this thing, he said it could show any location. But why did he leave it on like this? Unless he was pulled away. Couldn't have been Candy, she has been drinking a lot of fruit punch, so she is probably still in the bathroom. Did Pazzy come to drag him off? If so, than that means he left this thing on so he could go get some hanky panky time with her."
Mabel began to pout as she glared at the orb. "Well, if he is going to ignore turning this thing off so he can get laid, then he can deal with the consequences of the batteries dying. I refuse to fetch any more of those crystals."
Mabel continued to pout as she turned right around and left. Candy sighed in relief as she watched Mabel leave with her finger cam. Glad the girl wasn't looking for her.
=-=-=-=-=-=over at the Mystery Shack=-=-=-=-=-=
Stan was finishing up his work on the portal and sighed as he noticed Priscilla bringing him some lemonade. Stan frowned as he got up and went to get some. Turning over he also noticed Alex and Dana coming over to get some as well.
Stan had messed up, he was so excited to suddenly have all three journals, along with a better blueprint to build the portal with. So excited, that he forgot he had a house guest, as well as that he had his nephew and niece-in-law visiting, and they were just checking the gift shop as he was coming out to get something to eat and drink.
So he had to spill the beans on what he was doing and why he was so fixated on it. And his nephew and niece agreed decided to help him in order to get help from Ford. They just wanted to help their babies to get back to normal. Back to being their angels.
Priscilla was helping mostly because if she did, she would be helping her daughter. None of them knew what was going on in the castle. And so, with entrance barred by a moat of lava, they needed to plan out how to go about a rescue.
According to Stan, the real Ford was some super genius that knew almost everything there was to know about Gravity Falls and it's weirdness. If anyone could help them explain what is happening to Dipper and Mabel, it was him.
Stan and Alex were doing the heavy lifting, while Dana and Priscilla provided verbal aid from the blueprints to help. Dana also showed Priscilla a thing or two about mothering after hearing the woman's story. Teaching her about cooking and how to not look like a plastic doll when she put on makeup.
Priscilla finally felt like she had real friends, and she just hoped that her daughter wasn't suffering in the hands of the beast her new friend's son has become.
=-=-=-=-=With said beast=-=-=-=-=-=
Dipper and Pacifica were in his new room, she had been making out with him for about half an hour since pulling him into the room. Dipper backed off as he turned towards a desk. A couple clicks, and the gauntlets he was wearing were left on top of it.
Dipper stepped over and locked the door as Pacifica smiled and crawled into bed. And as she pulled the covers over herself, using them to hide herself and as he turned towards her, she pulled her bra from under the covers and made a little show of tossing it off to the side.
Dipper smiled as he watched her, running his hands through his short hair. His horns shrunk away to nothing, and she got to watch his teeth dull into a normal visage as he continued to smile at her. As he finished running his fingers through his hair, which was now completely milk chocolate brown, he started to walk over.
He stepped out of his boots, which he somehow untied without bending down to do so, his pants somehow undid themselves as well as they dropped for him to stepped out, before they stood up and walked over to the hamper themselves, when he dropped his shirt onto them.
Pacifica was a little shocked as he made a show of his change to look normal. She did file away that his pants got up and walked away for questions she needed answered later. But now that she got a clear view of his well-muscled form, she couldn't help but gulp.
Dipper watched her reaction, enjoying the look of confusion that followed his pants when they got up and walked away. Dipper got into the bed, sitting still as he clapped to turn the lights off, before getting comfortable and pulling her down next to him, holding her in his arms as he got comfortable for sleep.
Pacifica couldn't help but look confused. She had displayed a show to get his attention, and now he was acting as if he was just going to hold her as they slept, instead of what she knew he wanted to do, seeing as she could feel his reaction to her form.
"You don't have to force yourself to try and please me before you are ready. I have no plans to force myself onto you, nor any plans to hurt your friends to force you to be ready sooner. Much earlier in my life, I had a chance to glimpse at destiny, a prophecy. I saw a beautiful girl, a princess of a small town in need of help, a town that needed a proper king. Someone that could both protect them from the dangers of the woods in their backyard, as well as those that wished to stifle the potential this town has."
Pacifica just got comfortable on his chest, hearing the calming beating of his heart, and taking in his warmth. She also enjoyed the feeling of running her fingers across his abs under the covers. Her left leg was wrapped around his own, so she could feel how much of an effect she was having on him. She would admit, she did enjoy how he called her a beautiful princess, though this would be the first time she put any faith in something like a prophecy. Having called them hoaxes every time they were brought up in stories.
"I had to spend a bit of time this summer, making sure that the monsters in the woods new who the boss was, before dealing with some idiots that thought they could control people that were to be my subjects as I ruled the town. And so, I will wait for my queen to be ready to give me her heart as well, before I take her body."
Pacifica enjoyed the rumble his chest had as it lulled her to sleep through his story. She shed a tear or to as she fell asleep in her king's arms that night. Enjoying the future she saw now, a great deal more than the future she saw before her king came to town.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=Back with Wendy=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Wendy walked away from the side of the island that used to house a singing gator. Apparently, the gator was able to sing, and enjoyed doing it. not something to become angry over.
The gator eating everything that interrupted it's songs and forcing anyone it found to sing duets with it before eating them, all the while singing bad songs terribly off key is what drove her off the edge.
Wendy hated this game her life has become, this glowing spot Candy told her of had better be good, or she was going to make sure this axe she was crafting would be shoved so far up Dipper's ass, he would have a split tongue.
As Wendy came out of the woods that covered the island, she wound up at a cliffside. And looking along it, she found nothing, but looking down, she found an outcropping that looked to have something there.
Wendy used the staff, stabbing it into the cliff face as she slid down, allowing her to safely find a cave. If she hadn't found anything, she would have just continued down to the water and swam to the beach that wasn't far from where she was. But the cave wasn't that deep.
She found a rather nice-looking chest in the back. Looking like it was right out of a videogame. Those gnomes better pray she doesn't run into them again, because she wanted to kill something. Sighing at her own frustrations, she did open it, doing her best to ignore the tune playing when she did. Someone was fucking with her; she just knew it.
Ignoring the little jingle, that told her someone was planting these as if this were a game, and she had a sneaking suspicion that it was Dipper, seeing as he had been the only person that could have done it. But in the chest, was a note from said bastard.
"Greetings little hero, this is a note from your glorious new king. And within this chest that you found, is something I made. Yes, I am indeed an uncountable number of steps ahead of you and am even nice enough to leave these chests about in spots that I have found. But enough about how great I am. I have spent the last bit of time searching these woods for the weapon that I know is out here, that can bring harm upon my glorious self.
Well, I will admit to being unable to find it, but I had a great idea, I figured that if you did indeed retrieve the weapon, you would just be a simple mortal that would stand no chance, and if you are going to actually give me a proper challenge, and allow me to enjoy a proper final battle against a true hero, you might need a whole lot of help.
So, I have decided to test you and upon proving yourself in reaching these chests, you will get a piece of equipment to help you in our fight. Remember, I want a real challenge when you come face me. Try not to fail too badly."
Wendy crumbled the paper, seeing as it just started to drag on about how he wanted her to bring her A-game when she next challenged him. He was at least considerate enough not to assume she was male. But the man also went on about how great he was as well, pretty much swapping between complimenting himself and insulting her and her chances of victory.
Looking into the chest again, she found a pair of boots. They were brown worker boots, covering half her shins as she swapped out her own that were covered in gunk and grime, she did not want to know what all they were covered in in all honesty. They were starting to smell horrible. Especially after she had to deal with those barf fairies barfing on them.
As Wendy went to the entrance of the cave, leaving her old boots behind, she dropped down off the edge, prepared to stab the spear to slow her descent into the water, only for her boots to allow her to hover. Wendy stepped back into the cave, using her spear to stab into the air around the entrance.
Apparently, these were hover boots. She would have to go somewhere to practice with them and see how much she could hover. Wendy stepped off, hovering for about ten seconds before she fell and had to catch herself with her previous plan.
Wendy took a closer look at the boots when she slid down and landed on one of the rocks that were sticking out of the lake at the base of the cliff. Noticing that as she stood and stepped on the boots, there was a light along the bottom. That she watched drain as she walked on the air to the next rock.
So these were powered by some rechargeable battery, that somehow charged as she walked, before allowing her to walk on air for a short period, not being able to step up or down, but allowing her to flip gravity the finger.
Okay, maybe it wasn't so bad to be living a videogame.
=-=-=-=-=-=End=-=-=-=-=-=
Alright, good or bad?
I need to hear your judgement. For if it is not cast, I will never know when I am steering this ship into the wrong direction. I also wouldn't mind getting thoughts on what other equipment I should give Wendy.
I just gave her those boots first, because… Actually they were the first thing that came ot mind to give her.
No special reason comes to mind in all honesty, but I do have some plans for Candy and Grenda as you have seen, seeing as Candy mentioned a couple monsters we all know of from journal 3, and we all know how the quest to free the 'harmless' creatures will go.
See you all next time.
