Even though I said that this story takes place after Summerween, I'm changing that. It'll be after Boyz Crazy. It doesn't matter, except for interactions between Dipper and Wendy.

This isn't a Dipper/Wendy fic, though. By now, you should be able to tell that this isn't a ship fic at all.

"I've got this figured out." Dipper lays down a piece of paper in front of Mabel and I. "These are all of the possible allies we could make."

"Dip, you're taking it too far." Mabel rolls her eyes. "I thought you realized that you shouldn't use the complicated listy-thingies."

"It's not that complicated." I read over the list. "It'll help. Thanks, Dipper."

He looks triumphantly at Mabel, who crosses her arms.

"Let's get started." Dipper stuffs his book and my book into my bag and runs out of the door.

Mabel walks happily behind him.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

The first ally that we try to recruit sits in the living room, wearing nothing but underwear.

"Grunkle Stan!" Mabel yells, waking him up.

"Don't take the money!" He screams, then blinks. "Oh, hey kids. Why did you wake me up?"

"We need your help." Dipper says seriously.

"I'm not helping you unless-"

"You get to humiliate Gideon!" Mabel assures him sweetly.

"Why didn't you say that in the first place?" He stands up and rushes to throw on a pair of pants. "Let's go."

"Not yet, Stan." The twins attempt to pin him down in an awkward fashion that makes me laugh. "We need more people."

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"For the last time, sir, Stan marked the prices up." Wendy claims. "A bottle of water costs five bucks now."

"This is ridiculous!" Some tourist protests. He stomps out of the door.

"The prices aren't really that high, are they?" I ask, walking over to the front desk.

"Nope." She laughs. "Sometimes you just need something entertaining to do around here."

"If you have nothing to do, we could really use your help."

"We?" Her eyebrows shoot up. I step aside to reveal Mabel grinning and waving.

"Sure." Wendy shrugs. "I'll help you two."

"It's…not just the two of us." Mabel cringes. "Come on out, broseph."

Dipper nervously walks out from behind the 'employees only' door. Wendy immediately turns around and crosses her arms.

"Aw, Wendy…" Mabel sighs.

"I'm really sorry, okay?" Dipper says. "Really, really sorry. I shouldn't have been like that in your time of need."

"Getting a little sappy." I elbow him. "And that's coming from a tree."

"This is no time for bad puns, Autumn." He whispers.

"Please, Wendy?" Mabel begs.

"You're not doing this for me." Dipper reminds her. "This is for Autumn. She needs all the help she can get."

"Gideon…destruction…tree…" I gasp. I break out into cold sweat again. My stomach feels like there's a nuclear bomb in it.

"See?" Mabel says. "Please, please, please help us?"

Wendy slowly turns around. "Fine. I'll help you." She points to Dipper. "But just for now. I'm still not forgiving you for what you did."

"That's okay." He nods. "We'll tell you when we need you."

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"Soos!" Mabel yells, plugging her nose from the smell of the portable toilets. "Will you help us with something?"

"You got it, doods!" He screams back.

Dipper checks off his name of the clipboard.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"Alright." We all collapse in the attic. "I think we have enough reinforcement."

"Let's check." I grab the clipboard from Dipper's hands. On it is a list of the people (er, they're mostly people) who agreed to help fend off Gideon.

Stan

Wendy

Soos

Manly Dan

Gnomes

Old Man McGucket/The Gobblewonker/Various Automatons

Convenience Store Ghosts

Clones

Quentin Trembley

Rumble McSkirmish

Mermando & Various Merfolk

"I think we're good." Dipper nods.

"It doesn't even matter if we're getting all this help!" Mabel smiles. "I get to see Mermando again!"

"And I do get to be around intelligent people again." Dipper admits. "I felt bad about Tyrone's death."

"Let's get ready, guys." I clap. "Time to start a revolution."

Three (I think) chapters after this. Somehow they got all of those enemies from older episodes to help them. I was going to write how they did it, but I decided I haven't updated in so long, you guys could use this chapter.
