"I told you we should've brought a leaf blower," Dipper said angrily. "Look what you got us into, Gideon!"

"Dipper Pines, can't you see that I am trying to mourn? My peach dumpling has left me for a bunch of gnomes!" Gideon wiped a tear from his eye. "I guess you'll just have to do. We might as well begin the introductions now."

"What?" Dipper asked. "No way, man! If I had to date a guy I'd go for someone else, someone like Norman."

"Who's Norman?" asked Gideon. "I must destroy all competition!"

"This is why no one wants to date you," Dipper said. "As I was saying, why didn't you let us bring a leaf blower?"

"I don't want anyone seeing me with a stupid leaf blower!"

"But I would have been carrying it," Dipper said. "You wouldn't even have had to touch it."

Gideon sighed. "You have a lot to learn, Dipper Pines. I better teach you fast before all the magazines cover Dipgidpereon."

"What?"

"You remember 'Magidbeleon', don't you?"

"I keep telling you, I won't date you!"

"You will if I can't have your sister!"

Dipper sighed.

"I'll destroy Robbie for you if you date me," Gideon added.

"Okay, we're together," Dipper said.

Gideon smiled. "Now let's get out of here."

It was easy enough, the construction poor and underguarded. The two ran through the forest, then hurried into The Mystery Shack. They were both panting and covered in sweat.

"My suit," said Gideon. "Oh, it's so terrible!"

"We have more important things to worry about, you know." Dipper grabbed two water bottles, handing one to Gideon. He took the cap off of his, taking a long swig.

Gideon removed twigs from his suit and hair. "What an adventure, and we end up with nothing."

"Maybe we need a new plan," said Dipper.

"Yeah," Gideon replied. "One that's fool-proof!"

That's when something ran in through the cat door quickly, the two boys quickly hugging themselves together. It was embarrassing for them both to be scared, but right now they were pretty much defenseless.

"Hey guys," said Mabel. "What's up? Can you help me get this ring off?"


"I'm back to normal size!" Mabel said happily, glad that the ring was off.

"It's amazing," Gideon said, hugging her tightly.

"How did you escape?" asked Dipper.

"I didn't," Mabel said. "The gnomes and I made a deal where I'd still be their queen, visit them every once in a while, do their creepy gnome rituals, but I could still be a normal girl. I'm also immortal."

"What?" Gideon asked.

"Yep, I got myself a pretty good deal, plus I don't have to be tiny anymore!"

"No!" Gideon yelled. "Now I really am going to have to date Dipper Pines!" He grabbed Dipper's shoulders. "Dipper, you do like sweaters, don't you?"

"I don't know what's going on between you guys, but I'm going to the diner to get some breakfast. I'm starving!" And then she left the two in the kitchen, her thoughts filled with hot chocolate and blueberry pancakes.

Author's Note: Didn't expect that ending, did you? I originally wanted to make the end all action and longer, but I realized this was better. So, what do you think?

I secretly used this fic for Dipeon uses. I'm not sorry.
