Aquí está el sexto capítulo! And to Major Simi and DragonDude23, I hope that tip gave you some idea as to what's going to happen.
Mabel knew something was up.
The way Dipper kept a close eye on the Long siblings. They way he kept to himself- more so than usual, that is. And the way he practically lived in his journal. He wrote in it all the time, and he spent hours reading it. And the weird thing was that Mabel had a feeling the events were strung together somehow. But why?
She didn't want to confront him. That would just make him think she was being nosy, as always. Typical Dipper.
Ok, so she got curious sometimes. So what? She was just looking out for Dipper. He always got in over his head. She tried to get him to have fun and enjoy all the mystical secrets in Gravity Falls, but he wanted none of it. Stay away from this, that will kill you. Come on!
Then again, he was always getting her out of impossible situations. In fact, in the first week they had arrived here, he had saved her from a pack of loner gnomes. Then it had been the wax figures, then an even more lonesome child prodigy, then the ghosts, then the police, then the Summerween Trickster.
"Wait, WHAT?!"
Trixie crossed her arms, closed her eyes, shook her head, and said, "Mm mm mm." Spud and Haley fell backwards laughing. Jake raised an eyebrow and looked as if he were suppressing a laugh. And Dipper just frowned nonchalantly and said, "You're welcome for that, Mabel."
It was a few days later, and the twins had long since explained to the other four the secrets of Gravity Falls, although Dipper hadn't seemed too convinced that they had never heard this before. They were in the guest room and Mabel had been quoting Dipper when he was looking through his footage of Mabel and Norman together.
"Seriously, though," Trixie asked, "what did he see?"
"I saw," Dipper said insistently,"Mabel and Norman sitting together in the forest. Norman, like a gentleman, had his arms around her. It was quite romantic, actually..."
Spud frowned. "Ok? What's so-"
"Until his hand fell off!"
"I stand corrected."
"Wait, what?" Trixie said, sounding very much like Dipper.
"His hand fell off," Dipper said simply. "He wasn't human."
"Well, what was he?"
"A bunch of gnomes."
"Gnomes?" Haley asked. "Are those like brownies?"
"Sort of," Dipper said. "They're bigger, to start, and they have facial hair. They wear annoying overalls and annoying hats, and have even more annoying demeanors."
"Seems legit," Spud said generously. "What happened after that?"
"I'll give you the SparkNotes version." Dipper took a deep breath. "I took a shovel and the golf cart, drove into the gnome lair, rescued Mabel, drove out, and then, ah..."
"They chased you," Jake guessed.
"They were crazy!" Mabel exclaimed. "They all, like, joined together and formed this super-gnome thing!"
"Whoa, intense." Jake whistled. "How did you get away?"
"Let's just say Mabel knows her leafblowers."
"Nice," Haley complimented.
"This was just the first week?" Trixie asked.
"Yup!" Mabel said. "My favorite was the bottomless pit. But that's another story for another day."
"I liked the wax figures," Dipper said. Then he saw the looks he was getting, and he added, "Ditto what Mabel said."
"And of course there's the Pacifica factor," Mabel said dully. "But we know she doesn't deserve our oxygen."
"Hear, hear!" exclaimed everyone in the room.
Haley vaguely glanced out the window. Suddenly her face went slack and she pressed her face against it.
"Mabel," she said slowly, "was that the super-gnome you were talking about?"
Everyone rushed to the window. Mabel saw it. All one thousand of them. Including a very annoying brown-haired one at the top, giving orders.
"Mabel!" Jeff bellowed. "Come out and become our bride!"
Mabel sighed. "Well, he's persistent. I'll give him that."
"What do we do?" Trixie asked. The four New Yorkers seemed seriously freaked out.
"Well, let's go tell him he's a loner and that he should really get out more," Dipper suggested. "That'll be fun to watch."
"You guys aren't the least bit weirded out?" Spud asked.
"Hey, man," Dipper said, "we've stared death in the face, like, ten times. We'll be fine."
Mabel noticed the worry in their faces. "You can come too!" She grabbed Jake and Haley's hands and ran downstairs.
They went outside and Jeff noticed them.
"Oh, hi, Mabel!" Jeff called giddily. "Have you reconsidered your choice to stay single?"
"Ok," Mabel said, "first of all, Jeff, you guys have, like, two hundred years on me."
"Three hundred," Jeff corrected.
"Secondly," she said, "polygamy is illegal in all fifty states!"
Jeff was about to say something, but Mabel quickly added, "Including Texas."
"Dang it!"
"And third," she finalized, "I'm taken!"
The entire gnome group gasped, and the super-gnome almost fell over from the momentum.
"Eat that, Jeff!" Dipper called smugly.
"Well," Jeff said, "if we can't have you..."
Mabel realized all too late what Jeff meant.
The super-gnome grabbed at Trixie, but she was fast. She jumped and dodged as hand after hand flew for her.
"Whoa!" Mabel said in awe.
"Get in the house!" Dipper cried. "Now!"
For some reason, Mabel felt compelled to listen to him. She had always noticed the air of leadership around him.
They ran in the house and set to work locking up. When they were done, they met in the living room.
"Where's Papadog Stan at?" Trixie asked, panting.
"Uh, we're the only ones here," Dipper said.
"Great!" Spud said. "You wouldn't happen to have a leafblower handy, would you?"
"It's outside," Mabel said. "We can't go out there."
"Then what do we do?"
Mabel thought for a while. Then she snapped her fingers. "It just might work."
"What?" asked the other five.
"No time to explain." She turned to Spud. "Are you good at jumping up and down and and making annoying noises?"
Spud stood up dramatically. "My time has come."
Mabel could hardly contain her inner laughter. "Ok. Trixie, Jake, and Dipper- go with Spud outside. Distract Jeff and make him face away from the Shack."
"And me?" Haley asked.
Mabel winked. "You're going to have an aerial view."
Mabel noticed a look of panic flash across Haley's face.
"What do you mean?" she asked nervously.
"We're going to the roof."
Her features lessened. "Oh. Ok."
"All right, people!" Mabel yelled. "Battle stations!"
Mabel dragged Haley to the gift shop.
"Why are we here?" Haley asked, looking around. "There's nothing we can use."
"Oh, really?" Mabel pulled aside the curtain blocking the ladder. "Roof time! Roof time!"
The cousins climbed onto the roof and watched the scene below them. Spud had Trixie in his arms bridal-style and was dodging Jeff's blows. Jake was ramming himself into Jeff's legs, trying to knock it down.
"You ready, Haley?" Mabel asked.
"Ready for what?"
"Watch and learn, young one." Mabel turned to Jeff. "Hey!"
Jeff stopped trying to kill Spud and looked up at her as she pulled something out of her pocket.
The wedding ring. She had kept it just in case it could ever come in handy. And now it was.
"Marriage one-oh-one, Jeff! You can't get married without a wedding ring!"
His face went from angry to surprised.
Then back to angry.
"Give me that!" He walked over to the Shack and started climbing the building.
"Uh, Mabel?" Haley said nervously. "Whatever you have planned, now would be a good-"
"I will once the weather agrees with me."
"Huh?"
"Just wait!" Mabel said sharply. She looked at the sky, which was riddled with clouds so no sunlight came through. "Come on, come on, come on..."
Jeff was halfway up the Shack.
"Mabel!" Haley yelled.
"Mabel!" Trixie, Spud, and Jake yelled.
"Mabel!" Dipper yelled.
Finally Mabel's wish was granted. A small ray of sunlight peeked through the clouds and shone on the ring in her hand.
"Hey, Jeff!"
He looked up. "Huh?"
"Don't mess with my family!"
A pink ray of light shone out of the ring and engulfed Jeff. The whole super-gnome shrunk until it was the size of a normal gnome. It fell to the ground and exploded in a sea of tiny gnomes.
Mabel sped down the ladder and out the gift shop door. When she got outside, she was embraced by a boy a millimeter shorter than her.
"Way to go, Mabel!" Dipper commended. "Who would have thought the gnomes would give you one of those size-altering crystals?"
"I know, right?" Then she remembered the gnomes. "Not bad for a group of humans, huh, Jeff?" Mabel yelled to the now-tiny gnome.
She vaguely heard his reply. "I'll get you for this-"
She picked him up off the ground. "We've heard it all before, wannabe." With that, she held her arm back, lunged forward, and sent Jeff flying.
Meanwhile...
Gideon stared out his bedroom window and sighed. Where was he? He should have been here by now.
Suddenly he saw the unmistakable flash of car headlights, so he dashed downstairs, making sure to scuff up the carpet on his way down. He ran outside and embraced the man who had just stepped out of the taxi.
"Good to see you again, Uncle Rotwood..."
