Hi its me again. So, I cracked under the pressure of self-guilt, consequently meaning that this comes out sooner than i wanted. Oh, well. Sorry if i sounded rude in the last chapter. Its not often i come up with a good cliffhanger. I just wanted to make it last. Also, i keep forgetting to put this up, but Bill literally had NOTHING to do with Dipper fainting in the first chapter. NOTHING.

Twinstones

Chapter 4

Dipper froze. The other Dipper, Dipper Gleeful, asked again.

"I said, why are you here." The pressure on his throat increased, drawing blood.

"We...ah...we...we came to see...see the show...hehe." he stumbled to find the right words.

"Right. And I'm a dancing monkey. Let me ask again. Why. Are. You. Here." He pressed even harder on his throat. Dipper sighed.

"Alright. We were following you. To see if you knew how I could get home." He added hurriedly. It was partially true. He was also curious.

"Don't let us catch you again. Or you, and your friends, are dead." To illistrate his point he made two deft cuts on Dippers cheekbones. He drew his dagger away as he straightened. Although he couldn't see him, Dipper knew because he no longer felt his breath on his now bleeding neck.

"Mabel." Dipper G ordered. Instantly the blue binds that held Pacifica and Gideon vanished.

"Now scram." She commanded. They obediently did so.

"After searching all around Gravity Falls, I have concluded that the safest place for you to travel between dimensions is right here in the Mystery Shack." Announced Ford.

"Seriously? We walked all over this town, only to find out that I can do it right here!?" Mabel was not impressed.

"There could have been a safer place."

"Oh, well, that makes it okay then, doesn't it." She replied sarcastically. She turned on the machine.

"Remember, once you go there, there will be no comming back without Dipper."

"But the machine-"

"The machine will only do this once. Are you sure you want to do this?"

Mabel took a deep breath and closed her eyes. "Yes. For Dipper, I will." She pressed 'activate', and all scense of reality vanished like Dipper had from her arms. When she opened her eyes, she was back at the Mystery Shack.

"Hey, Ford. Why didn't it-" she looked around, but he wasn't there, "-work. But if he's not here then, it did work!" She jumped gleefuly around the room. "Hello, Dipper, here I come!"

As they walked back to the Mystery Shack, they stopped at a cafe/bar for a quick snack. And guess who was sitting with a giggling group of girls around her. None other than Diana Huntress. After they had sat and ordered, she finally noticed them. She excused herself from her group and made her way over to their table.

"Hello there. I couldn't help but notice that you were staring at me. Is there anything I can do for you?" She wasn't wrong there. They had been staring, but how could they not? She was the perfect picture of beauty. Suddenly she grabbed Dippers chin and moved it around, examining his face. She even moved his hair out of the way so she could look at his birthmark, the big dipper. And for some reason, no-one noticed except Gideon and Pacifica, but they didn't do anything about it, as if it were normal.

"Hmmmm, you look familiar. And your birthmark is the same as Dipper Gleefuls." She pondered for a moment. "Oh well. I'm sure I'll think of it." She remarked. Then she left.

"What was that about?" Asked Dipper.

"I don't know, honestly. But then again, she's usually like that." Pacifica replied.

Dipper was about to open the door to the Reverse Myster Shack when somehow the door opened by itself. Mabel stood there, holding the door open. For a minute they just stood there, staring at each other. It was Mabel who broke the silence.

"Dipper!" She cried, flinging herself at him. "I thought I lost you for good." She started sobbing into his vest.

"Mabel! You're getting my shirt wet. Oh, and this is Pacifica and Gideon. They're us in this world." Mabel wiped her eyes.

"Pleasure to meet you. Dipper, I have something to tell you. Do you know how you got here?" He shook his head. "It's because of these rare artifacts called Twinstones, and they only work when both twins are touching it. Each has there own ability, and ours lie in dimensional travel."

"But you weren't touching it. And how did you get here?" He reasoned.

"There was a hole in the cloth. And Ford rigged up a one-use machine to get me here. So now we can go home."

"I don't know, Mabel." He said, scratching his head. "I feel like somethings wrong and we need to stop it. I would also need to get changed first." He was still wearing his tourist outfit. "Do have the stone with you?"

"Uh, yeah. Can't go back without it."

"Give it to me. I want to log it in my journal. Don't place it. Just drop it in my hand." Hesitantly Mabel did so. "When we stop whatever is going on, then we can leave." He promised.
