Plans

"Hey, Grunkle Stan," Dipper said.

"Yeah, Kid?" Stan replied not looking up from the newspaper as he ate breakfast.

"Put me in your will for inheriting the Mystery Shack," Dipper replied.

"What? Why?" Stan asked, wondering where this had come from.

"Because it's easier for me to get you to sign it now than it is for me to forge it after you kick it," Dipper replied.

Stan laughed. It looked like the kid was a chip off the old block after all. "Sure kid, I'll make sure you and Mabel both get equal interest in it," he promised.

"Perfect," Dipper said. "Thanks, Grunkle Stan," he said as he ran off to tell Mabel.

Stan chuckled and made a mental note to make sure Dipper and Mabel had to do something humiliating to Gideon in his will to claim the Shack.

Go Go Godzilla!

"So let me get this straight," Mabel said as she cleaned and bandaged Dipper's wounds. "You got in a fight with Robbie and got your butt kicked from here to California."

"I kinda summoned a video game fighter to take care of Robbie, but then I had to fight him to keep him from killing Robbie," Dipper explained, wincing as Mabel felt his ribs.

"I'm going to need a much longer story," Mabel told him.

"OK, I'll start at the beginning," Dipper said.

One long story later...

"OK, first put the code in the journal and make sure you cover up that code on the machine. I don't think we want anyone else using it," Mabel said.

"Already ahead of you," Dipper assured her, "Soos took a piece of sandpaper and sanded it off and while searching for a place to write it in the journal I found it was already in there, see?" Dipper took out the journal and opened it up, pointing to a series of commands.

"So, Robbie started all this," Mabel said with a frown.

"Yeah, but I did break his phone and he didn't hit me, even when I offered him a free shot," Dipper pointed out.

"Fine," Mabel sighed. "I may prank him, but I won't hurt him."

He rolled his eyes. Mabel's pranks where simple things that generally just confused people.

"I need a mushroom," Mabel muttered.

*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*

Dipper stared at Mabel in shock.

"What?" she asked.

"Robbie's van is destroyed, he said Godzilla stepped on it," Dipper said. "You didn't bring Godzilla out of a video game and sic him on Robbie, did you?"

"What? No!" Mabel looked horrified. "Candy would never forgive me if I did that!"

"What did you do?" Dipper asked, not sure he wanted an answer.

"I brought out Yoshi and fed him a mushroom," Mabel said proudly.

Dipper wasn't sure whether to be impressed or horrified.

A Quick Nap

Dipper was tired. He'd been spending long nights trying to uncover the secrets of Gravity Falls even before Bill had possessed him, making it even harder for him to catch any shut eye. Every time he'd been about to fall asleep some noise or memory would wake him up.

Well enough was enough! Dipper grabbed his pillow and marched out to the bottomless pit. stumbling and bleary eyed from lack of sleep he wasn't too coherent and he was sure he was hearing things as he leapt into the pit only to have a hand catch him a moment too late and get pulled in with him.

"Ahhhh!" a familiar voice screamed loudly as they fell into the darkness.

"Robbie?" Dipper asked, the wind whistling past them helping banish the cobwebs from his brain.

"I'm sorry kid, it was all my fault, I was too slow to keep you from committing suicide!" Robbie yelled.

"Stop yelling, I'm like a foot away from you," Dipper ordered, pulling out a glowstick and snapping it, hanging it on his arm so it wouldn't blow away.

"I was too slow to save you," Robbie moaned.

It took Dipper a moment to understand what Robbie was talking about. "Dude, we're going to be fine, now let me sleep."

"We're falling to our deaths and you want to sleep?!" Robbie asked in shock.

"We're not falling to our deaths," Dipper promised him. "This is a time space anomaly. We fall for two hours and then come out the top again without a second having passed."

"Do you know how crazy that sounds?" Robbie demanded.

"I haven't slept in days," Dipper swore. "Crazy is probably right up my alley."

"Is this like that thing with the ghosts?" Robbie asked, calming down.

"Yes, it's crazy but true," Dipper told him. "Now seriously, I need some sleep, I was possessed by a demon recently and it's made it really hard to sleep." Resting his head on his pillow Dipper closed his eyes and prepared to drift off.

Robbie was quiet for maybe five minutes before he said, "Kid, I'm still kinda flippin' out here."

Dipper groaned and buried his head in his pillow for a moment before rolling onto his back. "Dude, I appreciate the fact that you risked your life to save mine, but we aren't friends. You tried to brainwash Wendy!"

"That totally wasn't my fault," Robbie whined. "I got that song from my dad. He told me he gave a cock and bull story about writing a song to my mom and that's how he won her over, so I thought it'd be kinda romantic if I used it to do the same, so I burned a copy of it."

Dipper groaned. "Great, you even have a decent excuse for the mind control CD. Well, I'm so tired I can't see straight, so if you don't mind I'm going to catch a nap."

A couple of minutes of silence passed before Robbie spoke up again, "Kid... I mean Dipper, I'm kinda scared of heights since that fighter guy almost killed me."

Dipper sighed knowing that was his fault. "Robbie... we aren't actually falling, we are simply suspended weightless between dimensions."

"And the wind?" Robbie asked doubtfully.

"Pressure differential between the two planes," Dipper told him, wondering if he was making any sense, but he was just so tired.

"What does that mean?" Robbie asked confused.

"Gravity Falls sucks," Dipper replied.

Robbie laughed.

"Now seriously, let me get a nap."

"Sure kid," Robbie said relaxing a little and just enjoying freefall.

Dipper started snoring a minute later.
