Hi guys!

Sorry again for the somewhat late update.

I really thought I could get chapter 3 up by yesterday, but I had to kinda re-write it because some parts didn't make sense.

However, this chapter is pretty cool.

Kinda long, but its still worth a read.

I hope you guys are still enjoying it!

So without further adu, lets begin Chapter 3!

Chapter 3: The Twins Meet Gwen

Location: Gravity Falls, Oregon

Gideon paced unevenly in the front yard of the former Mystery Shack. He was furious because he radioed his two body guards and he got no response. He needed to know if Mabel was captured so he could proceed ruling this town. He was unaware that the twins have left Gravity Falls and went with Henry Simmons.

Gideon was about to blow his top until he saw Kill-bone, holding about twenty residents from town. He approached the gate and literally threw them over the wired fence. Gideon exited the property of the Mystery Shack and approached the giant tattooed muscle-man.

Gideon: WHY DIDN'T YOU ANSWER ME!?

Kill-bone: I must of dropped my talking device.

Gideon: Whatever. Have you heard anything from Kostas?

Kill-bone: Last time I knew, he was trying to capture that high-pitched girl. Want me to go find him?

Gideon: I don't care. I need both of you to be more cooperative around here.

Kill-bone: I am cooperative. I can beat you into a cheese curl you little brat!

Gideon: Oh yeah? Well, I can annihilate you in a split second!

Kill-bone shut his mouth real fast and set out to find Kostas. As for Gideon, he approached every single townsfolk and applied shock collars to their necks. The purpose of that was if they were planning to escape, they receive a minor shock that would last seven seconds. Many people attempted to pry off the collars, but it was no use. Gideon laughed evilly and went back in the former Mystery Shack to continue making shock collars for more incoming guests.

Meanwhile, Kill-bone was in search for Kostas, to see if he found the high-pitched girl. He must of been searching for ten minutes until he came across his body. Kostas' body had blood in some spots and he could tell that he had some broken bones. Kill-bone went over to him and he was beginning to regain consciousness. Kostas was dizzy and his head throbbed to the high heavens. Kill-bone got down on his knees and shook Kostas vigorously.

Kostas: Ugh.

Kill-bone: WHAT HAPPENED!

Kostas: Twins...Man...battle...everything going dark.

Kill-bone: Well where are the twins?

Kostas: ...what twins?

Kill-bone: THE TWINS YOU WERE SEARCHING FOR TO BRING BACK TO GIDEON! WHERE ARE THEY?

Kostas didn't answer him because all of the screaming rang through his ear and he slipped back into unconsciousness. He stood up and rolled his eyes. He cursed under his breath and ran back to the former Mystery Shack to inform Gideon.

It took Kill-bone about five minutes to get back to Gideon. He was in the process of installing a shock collar to another Gravity Falls citizen. When he saw Kill-bone standing right in the front entrance of the gate, he finished installing the collar and approached the tattooed muscle-man.

Gideon: Well, where is he?

Kill-bone: Unconscious

Gideon: WHAT?

Kill-bone: Apparently. He has broken bones and blood in some areas around his face.

Gideon: And you just left him there?

Kill-bone: Pretty much.

Gideon: Well go back there and-

Kill-bone and Gideon heard the sound of weapons come up from behind them. They turned around they saw that they were face to face with three armed men.

Murphy: FREEZE!

Gideon and Kostas put their hands up in defense, not wanting to get injured by the men in suits.

Murphy: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do will be against you in honor of our organization, the Twin Protection Program!

Nate: MURPHY! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSE TO SAY OUR ORGANIZATION NAME OUT LOUD YOU DUMBO!

Murphy: Crap.

Adam: Hard to believe that our leader, Henry left you in charge.

Nate: Adam! Are you kidding me? YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSE TO GIVE AWAY OUR LEADER'S NAME!

Adam: Oh geez.

Murphy: Yeah. And I'm the bad guy.

Gideon: SILENCE! ALL OF YOU! Kill-bone, take down the men.

Gideon then came to a realization. If Kostas can't remember what happened back in the woods, then this man named Henry must have knocked him out unconscious, and he must have rescued Dipper and Mabel.

After thinking about that scenario, Gideon shifted his gaze over to Kill-bone. He tackled Murphy and put him in a headlock. Gideon approached the now unarmed man in a black suit.

Gideon: Tell me! Where are the twins?!

Murphy: I don't know what you're talking about!

Gideon: Yes you do! Who rescued the twins, and where are they? Are they still in Gravity Falls?

Murphy: That's highly confidential

Kill-bone tightened the grip on Murphy's headlock, until he finally caved!

Murphy: OUR LEADER HENRY SIMMONS, TOOK THE TWINS TO HIS HOMETOWN IN CALIFORNIA!

Nate: Idiot.

Adam: You're an idiot too.

Gideon: So they aren't in Gravity Falls! I figured. Kill-bone, release the men and take them in the yard with the rest of the townspeople.

With one single push, Kill-bone put all of the men in the yard. Gideon approached them and put shock collars on all of them. The agents of the Twin Protection Program were now trapped underneath Gideon's power.

Location: California

The sun hit the eyes of the slightly younger Pines sibling as he sat in the back of the helicopter with his slightly older twin sister. He was pretty exhausted after he ran with Mabel all around in the woods to get away from Gideon's body guard. He felt recharged after his small cat nap. He then glanced over to his sister; her head rested on his shoulder and small snores could be heard from her. He smiled at this and gave her a small kiss on the head. Dipper then turned his attention to Henry. He sat across from the Pines Twins. Piles of paperwork were shown on the seat next to him, and some on his lap. A few pages showed profiles of him and his sister. It listed the most important stuff like when there birthdays are, and who there parents are. Henry seemed to be finishing up a call with someone. It could possibly be their parents. Thoughts raced through his mind, wondering how frantic his mother may be, and how stiff his father was. However, his thoughts ended when the pilot came through the headphones, which also woke up his sister.

The pilot mentioned that they were five minutes away within their destination, and Henry replied to him. Dipper's attention was now on his sister. She seemed more tired than him, but at least she was a little bit more energized. She sat up and looked at her brother. He could obviously tell that she was a little scared, but he gave her a soft smile, assuring her that she was okay and she returned it.

Henry finally looked up at the two twins. He could obviously tell that they wanted to know what he has done during the hour the twins were sleeping. He's seen the same look on other twin's faces before and so he had no problem explaining who he was on the phone with.

Henry: Well you two, after being in a helicopter for a little over an hour, I would like to inform you that I spent that time on the phone with your parents.

Dipper kinda figured that that's who he was on the phone with. He couldn't help but ask how they ha sled this whole Gideon incident. Mabel on the other hand had no idea that parents needed to know about the Twin Protection Program. Just thinking about their parents brought tears and sadness to Mabel. Dipper heard her sniffle, and acting like the older brother, he put his arm around her and rubbed her shoulder for comfort.

Dipper: How are they taking it?

Henry: Your mother was a little...frantic...on the phone. Your father on the other hand demanded to know every aspect of the program and everything about me. However, in the end, they both agreed that it's okay for me to protect you guys throughout this mission. They also said that they love you and to stay safe and stay together.

When Mabel heard what their parents said, she began to feel better. Knowing that their parents were aware of the situation made her feel ten times happy, and Dipper loves it when he knows that his twin his happy.

Mabel: At least they know where we are and that they're aware.

Dipper: How about our great uncle? Have you spoken to him?

Henry: No one answered, so I left a message. But at least everyone is aware where you two are, and that you're okay.

The twins turned their direction to the window. They were both thinking about the same thing; defeating Gideon and winning back their home back in Gravity Falls. However, they were powerless. They saw a landing pad straight ahead and the helicopter itself was beginning to descend towards Earth once again. Dipper finally reacted to Henry's statement with a nod.

As minutes ticked by, the three of them sat in silence, waiting for the helicopter to land onto the platform. Mabel couldn't help but think about this whole situation with Gideon and him thinking of a plan to destroy her and her brother. However, it got pushed out of her mind when the helicopter finally landed onto the platform with a small thud. Dipper got up and jumped from the helicopter onto the solid ground once again. He turned around and held out a hand for his sister to grab. She took it gratefully and he helped her down. Henry was the last person off of the helicopter and as soon as he made contact with the Earth once again, the helicopter lifted back in the sky and turned back into the direction it came from.

The three of them then turned around and saw that they were in front of a self defense building. The twins were unsure why a helicopter would land right in the back of the building, and they were unsure why they were even here.

Mabel: Are we learning self defense?

Henry laughed lightly and shook his head "no" in response to Mabel's inquiry.

Dipper: Well, if we aren't gonna learn any self defense moves, then why are we here?

Mabel: Are you just playing a game with us?

Henry laughed again, this time, a little louder.

Henry: No. We're here to pick up my thirteen year old niece, Gwen.

Dipper: Gwen? That's a name you never here anymore.

Mabel: What's she like?

Henry: She's funny, creative, smart, powerful, and a writer. She lives with me because her parents died in a horrible car crash a few years back. So I took her in.

Dipper: Oh...she an only child?

Mabel: Does she like to bedazzle stuff or use grappling hooks?

Henry: She's an only child and...I'm unsure about those last two Mabel. You can ask her. Come on, let's go in and get her.

The three of them went around the front of the self defense building and entered into the waiting hall. It was easy to spot who Gwen was because she was the only one dressed all in black, with a black belt tied around the waist. It was getting close to the end of her self defense class, and her classmates who were sitting on the edge of the floor mat were pretty impressed. She was dodging punches and kicks, but returning them to her opponent ten times harder. She's been training since she was nine and has gotten better over the years.

Henry, Dipper, and Mabel sat down and saw her battling against her opponent. She showed many ways of intensive power during her training. Dipper and Mabel saw how fast she dodged the opponents moves and they were totally impressed. Dipper seemed to be more engaged in watching her do all of these neat tricks.

When she did the backflip, it was a sign that the self defense class ended. Everyone, including the twins, stood up and clapped for the teen. Her dojo class ended and she stepped outside in the waiting hall where parents sat and watched the dojo class. They all clapped for Gwen and mentioned what a great job she did. Gwen then made eye contact with her uncle and two kids next to him. She didn't understand why they were with her uncle, but then she remembered that it must be another TPP mission. She saw her uncle and sprang to him, practically tackling him into a hug.

Gwen: Hi Uncle Henry! I'm glad you're back. I missed you.

Henry: It's good to be back, Gwen. I missed you too.

A small silence was in the process since Gwen was reunited with her uncle after a few days. After about three minutes, she released him and finally made eye contact with the two kids.

Gwen: So, is this your surprise?

Henry: I see you read my text. Let me introduce them to you.

Dipper and Mabel stood next to the agent as he introduced them to Gwen. Dipper seemed to be lost in her sparkling blue eyes. He didn't even notice that she smelled like BO. However, he was put back into reality when his sister pinched him on the arm and he yelped in pain. Mabel and Gwen laughed at his reaction and they all began making there way to the back of the building. The helicopter had come back from earlier to take them to the house.

While in the helicopter, Mabel asked her a bunch of questions about how she learned to self defense and if she could teach her some moves. Gwen explained that it's not always easy, and that it takes several years of practice. Even Dipper got into the conversation, wanting to know how she mastered all of those incredible moves. They all shared some laughs and a few stories until the helicopter finally landed on the platform in the backyard. Gwen was the first one off and she grabbed her bag. She then quickly went upstairs to clean up and smell fresh once again. Dipper was the next one off and he helped his sister down again just like earlier. Henry then jumped off and they all waved goodbye to the pilot. Once the helicopter left again, Dipper and Mabel made there way into the house. After the events that happened in the helicopter, the Pines twins believed that this seemed like a beginning of a beautiful friendship.

A/N:
