A Minor Apocalypse
A horde of zombies descended upon the twins. There were dozens of hungry shambling corpses reaching for them. Dipper turned his flashlight on and shrunk them down to the size of action figures, which Mabel poured gasoline on and set on fire.
"OK, that's the last of the zombies," Mabel said. "Now what?"
"I think now we're supposed to huddle together at the Mystery Shack, hiding from the deadly world around us and slowly fall in love," Dipper said pulling out a script and reading it.
"Didn't we lose all power when someone ran into the substation with their truck?" Mabel asked.
"Yeah," Dipper agreed.
"So no hot baths or stove," Mabel pointed out. "I have a better idea, but I need some paint and a ladder."
"I'm listening."
2 hours later
Mabel had just dipped her brush in paint when Blendin Blandin appeared in a flash of light.
"Stop right there time polluters!"
Dipper stepped out of the shadows and cracked him over the head with a two by four.
*THUNK*
"Grab his time travel device," Mabel ordered, dropping her brush. "No need for a mural depicting the future we saw now."
One pull of the tape and the two vanished in a burst of light.
The Mystery Shack
Stan and Soos stared in shock as an extra pair of Pine twins entered the shack interrupting dinner.
"We have time to explain," Dipper said calmly.
"I thought it was supposed to be, we have no time to explain," Soos said.
"We have a time travel device, we have plenty of time," Mabel said.
"Why'd we come back?" Dipper asked the time traveling duo.
Dipper handed a copy of the script to him, Mabel read over his shoulder.
"At least I get the girl," Dipper said, causing Mabel to giggle.
"So you came back to make sure you didn't get the girl?" Gruncle Stan asked.
"We decided to save the whole town," Mabel explained.
"That's altruistic of you," Gruncle Stan said suspiciously.
"If everyone gets eaten by zombies we lose power and can't take hot showers," Dipper explained.
"If there is to be any getting of this girl, hot showers will be required," Mabel said firmly.
"Whoa!" Dipper said as he and Mabel read a love scene further in.
"You two?" Stan asked making a face.
"Would you rather end up as zombie number three that I bash in the head with a rock?" Dipper asked.
"I always knew you two were destined for each other," Stan said with a bright smile. "I'm so proud of you!" Stan adapted to the changing situation faster than a chameleon.
"Soos?" Mabel asked.
"Yeah, Hambone?" he asked, eating dinner as if nothing was going on.
"Aren't you going to comment?"
"I thought you were already a couple," he replied. "Otherwise why would you always find a way to get in-between Dipper and Wendy and why would Dipper always find a reason to get rid of your boyfriends?"
"Huh," the four chorused.
"Aren't two of you supposed to vanish now?" Stan asked. "Like in Back to the Future?"
"This is real life, it doesn't work that way," Dipper said.
"You guys take the south bridge, we'll take the north," the Dipper reading the script with Mabel said. "First one finished gets to put the problem people in the antfarm."
"Antfarm?" Stan asked.
"Killing isn't us," Mabel explained. "But zombie sympathizers like Robbie and people who put everyone in danger trying to gain power like Gideon have to go, so we shrink them and put them where they'll have plenty of food and water, but no way to harm anyone."
"Pacifica?" Soos asked glancing at the list.
"Trust me," Mabel said, "getting rid of her makes it almost worth the zombies."
"Some people are worse than zombies and we can't afford the dissension," Dipper agreed.
Stan wiped a tear from his eye. "Using the apocalypse for petty revenge, I'm so proud of you!"
The Mabels blushed.
"Won't we eventually have to venture into the outside world?" Soos asked.
"Not for a couple of months," Dipper replied, "and zombies will eventually run out of easy prey and get picked apart by insects before they can make more. So we should be fine till then."
"How long have you had to plan all this?" Stan asked.
"I was using a baseball bat to crack open the skull of a zombie who'd gotten a hold of Mabel's hair when I thought about how much easier this would be if I were bigger," Dipper explained.
"I talked him out of becoming a giant," Mabel said.
"So I shrunk them and Mabel burned them," Dipper said. "Took maybe three hours and then another two for gathering supplies to capture Blendin and get his time machine."
"Your room is going to be crowded," Soos said getting seconds.
"I can enlarge the beds," Dipper said, holding up his flashlight with the crystal on the front.
"You're soundproofing your room," Stan said firmly.
"Will do Gruncle Stan," the Dippers promised as the four left to fulfill their plan.
"Should I be impressed or horrified?" Soos asked.
"Be both," Stan said. "God knows I am."
A/N: OK, poking a little fun at another fic, but really zombie apocalypses aren't that hard to deal with.
A/N2: No I won't tell you which fic, search for it yourself!
