Stan spoke in a soft voice as he lowered the volume

"You've seen the crazy things that go on in Gravity Falls right? Mabel and Dipper told me about that mini golf problem you had, with those weird golf balls being alive."

Pretending to be bored Pacifica decided to 'pick' at her perfect nails.

"Yeah I remember that although I try very hard not to...what about it?"

The image of the horrible hair styles flashed in her mind, their crooked teeth, their small weird eyes, and their abnormally large head compared to their bodies!

They were a fashion disgrace, why would she bother trying to remember them.

"Well how about if we made a deal...you help me get rid of some of the anomalies around here, and you get to be co-owner or whatever of the Mystery Shack."

Stan rubbed his stubble with just the smallest bit of hope in his heart, he had to get this job done and as quickly as possible, Gideon wanted revenge, and surely he would try anything to destroy the Pines family like promised.

He couldn't allow him to get in touch with more dangerous things than he already has before.

"My family still owns Gravity Falls like a slave, it didn't even effect us that badly to find out we didn't found it, so what if someone else did some sort of Quentin Trembley...it's still ours.

Also what would I want with the Mystery Shack? It's an old run-down place that is broken down, hardly gets any customers, and is inhabited by the Pines family and your man-servant!"

She cringed as she saw a cockroach across the room, she was completely and utterly disgusted now.

Stan stood up from his chair and pulled on his pants that hung from the coat rack "follow me kid..."

Pacifica was grateful she could finally stand but cautiously followed the old man she was not even acquaintances with.

"Where are you bringing me?"

Grunkle Stan lead the way out of his house and turned left, Pacifica noted a sign that said "Bottomless Pit", she scoffed at the idea.

There can't be such a thing as a bottomless pit, she knew there were strange things within Gravity Falls but a bottomless pit just had to be one of Stan's little tricks to gain money.

While the two walked through the woods she was slightly worried.

Annoyed that Stan never answered her question Pacifica simply asked again "Where are you taking me? I don't like to be led places without being told where I'm going, especially not in the woods you weirdo."

Unknown to her Stan's face crinkled in the same annoyment, he was starting to doubt his plan would work and was starting to believe that he hit a new all time low by asking her...finally responding.

"To show you some pretty crystals that I'm sure you'd love to get a hold of...or stop Gideon from getting a hold of."

"I found them thanks to Dipper really..." Stan slowly made his way down a hill and Pacifica struggled to keep her balance while trying to keep up, there was no way in hell she was going to get lost in these woods...not with these boots.

The two stopped and stared at a large crystal embedded within the ground.

"Watch that squirrel there...watch what happens" Stan whispered and just as he said a squirrel ran by and passed through the pink light.

Pacifica gasped as she watched a normal sized squirrel turned ridiculously small, like the size of a toy doll house small, and her heart almost stopped as she watched it run past the blue and become gigantic.

How on earth did the people of Gravity Falls and other parts of the United States live without knowing of such large animals running around?

"That's what I wanted to show you...if you agree to my deal this will be the first thing we get rid of...or store away I guess...I know Gideon and I know you consider him an enemy.

So I figured you'd want to help destroy any chance Gideon has to re-gain any sort of power once when and if he is released from jail."

Stan wasn't even sure this plan would work, Pacifica was a girl who would rather die and or let Gideon get away with something then work with the Pines family, but then Stan remembered the one time he "accidentally" read one of her letters to Mabel.

"If you don't help...you know he'll just try to force Mabel to marry him and then she'll be miserable forever and never find true love."

The teen's eyes widened in horror "Gideon has the biggest crush on her and constantly wants to marry the kid" looking at her face Stan knew he hit the right note and soon Pacifica would be a member of the Shack.

Finally catching on to his little game, she turned to face him "Listen old man...Gideon isn't marrying Mabel ok?"

Stan smiled...kaching.
