Chapter 6: Access Denied!
'Have you ever met someone who just doesn't seem to get the message when you say no? To them, the message is yes even when you've made yourself very clear? Well, Gideon is going to find out when someone says get lost, they mean it!'
"So today, I'll be going fishing with Grunckle Stan." Dipper says as he looks through the hall closet in the attic for his fishing reel. "He says that he wants to spend some quality time with me and teach me how to 'man' fish."
"What's man fishing?" Tyrone inquires in confusion as he watches the classic version continue rummaging through the closet.
"I'm not sure exactly." Dipper replies, now grabbing an old tackle box from the top shelf of the closet and handing it to Tyrone. "I think it has something to do with learning how to fish like men do. I'm not sure, but he did say that manly Dan man fishes with his sons. So maybe that's where he got the idea from."
"Oh Wendy's dad and her brothers." Tyrone says, shaking his head.
"Yep, the very same." Dipper says, now locating his fishing reel and grabbing it. "I've wanted to go fishing with Wendy and her family for the longest time, but never really had the nerve to ask Wendy. Plus her dad scares me."
"I can imagine." Tyrone replies. "I mean look how big he is. Just hearing you talk about him is making me afraid of him."
"So while I'm out 'man' fishing with Stan, you'll be here looking after Mabel." Dipper instructs to his clone as he closes the closet and makes eye contact with him. "This time she wasn't invited which means, she'll be here without me for a complete eight hours."
"Where are Soos and Wendy?" Tyrone inquires.
"Soos has the week off so he went back home to visit his family." Dipper answers. "And Wendy is out sick with Hay fever. She'll be out for the next three weeks, but at least she's getting paid for it."
"I bet Stan hates that." Tyrone laughs.
"You know he is." Dipper says, adding into the laughter. "He says that employees shouldn't get paid unless they are present to work, but since Wendy has been working for him for a while now, she earned the benefit of paid vacation and sick days off."
"Well at least she will not be without money." Tyrone nods. "Plus I'm sure Stan wouldn't want her father involved and therefore, won't try to renege on their contract."
"That's why he complaining silently." Dipper says, the two breaking out into laughter once more.
With the two boys laughing hysterically, they don't notice Mabel bounce into the area.
"Hey guys." Mabel greets to them, the two now turning to her.
"Hey Mabes." Dipper and Tyrone greet in unison.
"What are you two laughing at?" Mabel inquires. "I want to laugh too."
"Oh nothing, but I'm glad you're here." Dipper replies to his sister with his laugher dying down. "Listen Mabel, I'll be going fishing today with Stan so you'll be here with Tyrone until I return tonight."
"But why did he just invite you and not me?" Mabel asks, offended at not being invited along. "We had fun at our last family bonding day on the lake!"
"I know we did Mabel and I had fun with you there." Dipper replies as he places a hand on her shoulder. "But Stan said he just wanted it to be us today so he can teach me how to 'Man' fish."
"Man fish?" Mabel inquires in confusion. "What's man fish?"
"Don't worry yourself with the details Mabes." Dipper says. "But once I come back tonight, I'll tell you all about it ok?"
"Ok." Mabel smiles, now engulfing Dipper in a hug. "Have fun bro."
"I'll try." Dipper says as Mabel releases him. "Remember, I'm going fishing with Stan."
"Dipper, come on! What's taking you so long?!" Stan now calls out from downstairs. "I want to get out on the lake before anyone else does! I don't want that cop or that guy with the thick glasses to take the spot near the water falls! I'll run them both off the water just to get that spot!"
"Coming grunkle Stan!" Dipper shouts back. "Gotta go guys, but hey, you two have fun."
"You got it broseph." Mabel says giving Dipper a thumbs up.
"She's in good hands man." Tyrone promises as he places an arm around Mabel's shoulder.
Smiling at the two once more, Dipper now makes his way down the ladder leading to the first floor of the shack. From upstairs, Tyrone and Mabel can hear Dipper and Stanford leave the shack.
"Well, it's just you and I now." Mabel says turning to Tyrone.
"Sure is." Tyrone replies. "So what do you want to do?"
"SWEATER AND MAKE UP BUDDY!" Mabel screams in excitement. "I just bought some new makeup and I need a model to test the colors. After that, you can help me pick out the next colors for my new sweater. After that's done we can-"
"Whoa, Mabel slow down." Tyrone calmly replies to the bouncing girl. "Let's do one thing at a time here. I will be happy to help you pick out your new sweater colors, but I'm not very comfortable testing your makeup. So let's stick to the sweater ok?"
"Oh alright then." Mabel nods. "SWEATER BUDDY!"
Grabbing Tyrone by the right hand, Mabel drags him into the room. With the two in the room, Mabel begins loading Tyrone's arms down with balls of yarn as she explains what type of sweater she wants to create this time.
Gleeful Residence
Having come in from a performance at the tent of telepathy, Gideon is sitting on his bed gazing at his pocket sized picture of Mabel.
"Mabel Pines, today's performance was dedicated to you." Gideon says as he plants a kiss to the picture. "It had everything you love: white doves, glitter, sparkling stage lights, everything. Too bad you weren't there to see and enjoy it all thanks to that brother of yours standing in our way of being together! But that's ok as today is the day that I convince you that we do have a future together and ask you for your hand once again."
Placing the picture back in his pocket, Gideon now gets to his feet as his facial expression changes from the smile he was holding to a dark frown.
"And once I have your hand, there will be no escaping from me this time!" Gideon hisses. "We will be bound together for life! You hear me? For life!"
Looking over at his desk to his make shift mystery shack layout, Gideon notices his two book and the pieces of his shattered amulet that he was able to salvage from the forest after Mabel destroyed it laying in front of the popsicle stick shack and its occupants' dolls.
"Thanks to you Mabel, I'm going to have to do this the hard way." Gideon speaks. "Without my powers, I'm going to have to get my hands dirty, but thankfully you're worth what I'm about to go through."
Chuckling a bit, the chubby boy now leaves his room with a specific plan in mind as to how he is going to win Mabel over this time.
Mystery Shack (Attic)
Tyrone and Mabel have begun working on a purple and blue sweater that is to have Waddles as the center picture. Mabel is working on the body of the sweater while Tyrone is working on the right sleeve of the sweater.
"Isn't this fun?" Mabel asks Tyrone, not taking her eyes off her work. "When I'm back home and after school when I finish my homework, I do this constantly."
"I have to admit, this is pretty fun." Tyrone agrees as he looks to Mabel. "I see now why you get so excited about doing this."
"Yep, that would be the reason." Mabel lightly laughs, agreeing with Tyrone. "My mother taught me when I was just eight years old and haven't been able to put it down since."
With the two continuing to work on the sweater, they now hear the door bell ring from the door at the forest entrance of the shack.
"I'll go see who's at the door." Tyrone speaks up.
"Ok." Mabel replies. "And if you're not back in five minutes, I'm going to finish working on your sleeve."
Lightly laughing at Mabel, Tyrone now leaves the room and makes his way down stairs. Reaching the door, Tyrone opens it to see Gideon standing there holding a single red rose.
"Why hello Dipper Pines." Gideon sweetly greets to Tyrone. "Is my sugar dumpling available? I have one sweet surprise for my sweet."
"Ok first off, I'm not Dipper." Tyrone begins. "Secondly, I'm Dipper and Mabel's cousin Tyrone. Thirdly and lastly, Mabel is here, but she doesn't want to have anything to do with you! So I'm asking you to please leave the premises."
"How are you the twins' cousin and you look just like Dipper Pines?" Gideon asks in confusion.
"It's not important how I look like him, I just do." Tyrone replies, disgust evident in his tone. "Now leave the property before I dispose of you myself!"
Having said his peace, Tyrone now slams the door in Gideon's face. Shaking his head, the clone makes his way back up to the attic, to Mabel. Mabel now notices Tyrone enter the room and smiles.
"Who was at the door?" Mabel inquires, continuing to work on the sweater.
"Gideon." Tyrone replies as he takes a seat back next to Mabel on the floor to continue working on their sweater. "He thought by stopping by with a red rose he was going to get in to see you. I told him to get lost or I was going to see to it I got rid of him myself."
"Thanks for doing that Tyrone." Mabel says, now pulling Tyrone into a hug. "I don't want anything to do with that guy and I can't wait until he gets the message."
"Oh I have a feeling soon that he will." Tyrone replies as Mabel releases him.
Outside the shack
Gideon is disgruntled that Tyrone has denied him access to seeing Mabel and is trying to decide what to do next.
"How dare that Dipper 'clone' tries to keep me from seeing my puddinpop!" Gideon expresses. "He's another one that's made it to my list to destroy so I can be with my sugar dumpling without any interference! Since I can't go in through the front door, I'm going to have to find an alternate way in to see my Mabel."
Pacing around in the yard, Gideon begins thinking to himself as to how he is going to get into the shack.
"Think Gideon, think!" Gideon says to himself as he continues pacing. "If I can't go directly in, what are other ways into the shack?"
Continuing to pace and think, an idea now hits the chubby boy as he now breaks out into a run towards the back of the shack.
Attic
"I always knit my sweaters a size bigger than I wear so I'll just grow into them." Mabel continues as she and Tyrone continue working on their 'Waddles' Sweater.
"I think this sweater will be two sizes bigger than you normally wear." Tyrone replies, now noticing of the size of the sweater. "It looks as if we knitted a bit much here."
"It's normal for the sweater to look like this before it's placed on." Mabel says with a brace-filled smile. "And if it is a bit big, I'll just wait a year before wearing it."
"Sounds like a plan." Tyrone nods.
While the two are continuing to work, Waddles now enters the room and oinks, his way of greeting the two. Hearing the pig, Tyrone and Mabel now turn to the animal.
"Hi Waddie!" Mabel cheerily greets to the pig with Waddles approaching Mabel. "Where were you all of this time?"
Setting down her knitting needles, Mabel picks the pig up and places him in her lap.
"I can't get over how fat your face is!" Mabel says as she rubs her nose against Waddles. "Tyrone, I'm going to go feed Waddles and after that, I'll be back to help finish the sweater."
"Ok, no problem." Tyrone replies with a nod.
Getting to her feet, Mabel makes her way out of the room with Waddles in her arms. With Mabel gone, Tyrone places his needles down and rubs his wrists.
"I never knew that knitting can get tiring." Tyrone says to himself.
Now leaning back against the bed, Tyrone begins hearing wrapping sounds at the attic window, like a tree branch scrapping against the glass. Leaning forward, he continues hearing the sound and now notices what appears to be a white cloud climbing up the tree branches.
"Is that a white cloud in the tree?" Tyrone asks himself as he continues watching the window. From what he can see, the 'cloud' is getting higher and higher in the tree. With the 'cloud' getting higher, Tyrone now notices something familiar about that 'cloud'.
"Wait, that's no cloud, that's Gideon's hair." Tyrone sighs. "He just won't give up will he?"
Getting to his feet, Tyrone grabs Dipper's sling shot and darts from the room. Making his way down to the first floor and then outside of the building, Tyrone runs around to the back of the shack where the twins' bedroom window is located. Looking up at the tree outside of the window, Tyrone spots Gideon sitting on a branch peering inside the window. Shifting his vision to the hive above from the branch Gideon is on, Tyrone smirks.
Grabbing a large rock, Tyrone places it in the sling shot band and focuses it on the hive. Pulling back as far as it will go, Tyrone releases the rock with it flying 102 mph towards the hive. The rock now smashes the hive with the angry swarm exiting the hive.
"Marshmella, are you in there?" Gideon calls out, continuing to peer through the window. "It's me, your little love honey bee! I'm here to sting you with my sweet stinger of love!"
Continuing to peer in the window, Gideon is oblivious to the angry bee swarm that has gathered behind him. The queen bee now flies in front of Gideon's face, the chubby boy now taking notice of the large bee.
"Why hello there." Gideon smiles to the bee. "Are you here to assist me in seeing my marshmella?"
If a bee had eyelids and were visible to the human eye, Gideon would notice the queen bee's slant in anger at Gideon.
"I can see you will be of no help so shoo!" Gideon demands to the bee, now swatting her away with his hand. The back of his hand hits the bee with force, knocking her a few feet from him.
Being insulted, the bee now raises her stinger, which commands the other bees in the swarm to present their stingers as well.
Tyrone is continuing to watch as the bees begin closing in on Gideon.
"If only he knew what was about to happen." Tyrone begins chuckling. "And 3..2..1."
The bees now close in on Gideon and begin attacking him all at once!
"Ow, OW OUCH!" Gideon screams as he swats at the swarm with his left hand. "Get away from me demon bugs! Don't you see I'm trying to get the attention of the love of my life? Now back off!"
Continuing to swat at the swarm with his left hand, Gideon can feel his right hand's grip beginning to slip from the branch. With the swarm continuing to attack him, Gideon's grip completely loosens from the branch and the boy plunges ten feet from tree to the ground.
"When will he learn." Tyrone says with a laugh as he shakes his head and begins making his way back to the shack.
Walking in through the forest entrance, Tyrone notices Mabel and Waddles in the den watching their favorite television program 'Why You Ackin So Cray-Cray?' and eating popcorn.
"Hey Mabes, is the sweater done?" Tyrone asks, surprised to see the two downstairs.
"Yea, I finished it up after feeding Waddles." Mabel replies, keeping her eyes on the television. "Where did you go? You were gone for a while."
"Oh I had to take care of that bee hive outback." Tyrone replies as he takes a seat next to Mabel. "The bees hated that I did that, but I had to move it."
"They'll be fine." Mabel says, continuing to watch the program and consume popcorn.
Outside
Gideon has managed to evade the swarm and is crawling to the forest entrance of the shack with his face badly swollen from the bee stings.
"Tyrone…will..pay..for that." Gideon manages to say, continuing to crawl up to the door. "He will not keep me from seeing my sweet marshmella and asking for her hand once more!"
Reaching the door, Gideon gets to his feet and knocks.
Tyrone, who is sitting closest to the door, hears the knock.
"Mabel, why don't you get more popcorn while I see who this is now." Tyrone instructs to his sister.
"Sure, ok." Mabel simply replies. "It's at a commercial break anyway. Come on Waddles, the popcorn needs more butter."
Waddles oinks to Mabel as the two now leave the area and head for the kitchen in search of butter for their popcorn. With those two out of sight, Tyrone makes his way to the door and upon reaching it, opens it to see a swollen faced Gideon.
"You just don't get it do you?" Tyrone laughs, seeing Gideon's badly swollen face. "I told you that Mabel isn't interested in seeing you and I meant that! Get a clue Gideon, if you didn't lose it up in the tree with the swarm of bees."
Slamming the door on the boy, Tyrone shakes his head and heads back to the den. Reaching the living area, Tyrone takes a seat back on the floor with Mabel and Waddles shortly joining him.
"Who was at the door this time?" Mabel inquires, now handing the bowl of popcorn to Tyrone.
"A Jehovah's witness." Tyrone simply replies.
With the commercial over, the three now resume watching their television program.
Shack's Shop
Dipper and Stanford now walk through the door with police officers Sheriff Blubs and deputy Durland in tow.
"I am really sorry, officers, about what my great uncle did." Dipper apologizes for the hundredth time since the two were forced off the lake. "I'm sure he was just joking around when he made the civilian's boat next to ours tip over and he 'stole' their entire catch stack. Can't you just let him off with a warning this time?"
"Well city boy, as much as I would like to turn a blind eye to this, this isn't your uncle's first offense on the lake." Sheriff Blubs replies. "So it is my duty to lay down the strictest punishment that fits the crime. Neither you nor your uncle is allowed on the lake until next summer. Plus, he has to pay the fine of three hundred dollars for offending a fellow resident."
"Three hundred dollars?!" Stanford shouts. "There is no way I'm paying three hundred dollars to those loafers! I'm already paying an employee for her sick days and that's costing me enough money!"
"That sounds like a personal problem." Blubs scoffs.
"He'll pay the fine." Dipper speaks up, now cutting his vision to his uncle. "I'll see to that."
"You folks have a nice day." Blubs says as he and Durland now exit the shop.
"What were you thinking by doing that?!" Dipper begins fuming as he turns to his uncle. "You had no right to make those people tip their boat over because they had a bigger catch stack than you! What possessed you to do that?"
"They cheated!" Stan argues back. "No one catches that amount of fish in such a short time and with the bait they were using! I would know because I tried!"
"Maybe they knew where to look unlike you!" Dipper argues back. "This is the LAST time I'm going fishing with you! Oh wait, we can't go back until NEXT SUMMER!"
Being more than disgusted with his uncle, Dipper storms out of the shop and makes his way towards the den with his fishing gear still in hand. Seeing Mabel, Tyrone, and Waddles sitting in front of the television, Dipper drops his equipment to the floor and plants himself next to his sister.
"Hey guys." Dipper breathes as the three now turns to him.
"Hey dipping sauce." Mabel greets to her brother. "You're back from man fishing early. What happened?"
"I really don't want to get into that." Dipper sighs. "Let's just say that I won't be fishing for a long time after today and when I do go, I'll be going with dad."
"Sorry you had a bad time on the lake dippy." Mabel replies hugging her brother.
"How did you guys day go?" Dipper inquires to the two.
"Oh nothing much." Tyrone replies. "Mablel and I knitted a sweater together. I would have finished my sleeve, but according to Mabel, I took too long coming back so she finished it for me."
"And Tyrone got rid of Gideon and a Jehovah's Witness that stopped by." Mabel adds in.
"I would give anything to repeat this day and be here with you guys all day." Dipper continues fuming a bit. "Anything would have been better than being on the lake with the cheapest and lowest man on the planet!"
"Is there anything we can do to help cheer you up Dipper?" Mabel inquires to her depressed brother.
"Not unless you have a time machine." Dipper replies. "And whatever you do, don't mention that time traveler we met at the fair. He costs me Wendy and as mad as I am right now, I will punch him in the throat!"
"Don't worry Dipper, its only 3pm." Tyrone adds in. "Now that you're back home, your day can only get better from here."
"I hope so." Dipper agrees. "Mabel, please pass the popcorn."
Without a word, Mabel passes the bowl to her twin, him now adding into watching the program 'Why You Ackin So Cray-Cray' with everyone else.
Shack's shop
Stan is sitting behind the register and is trying to figure out how he is going to pay that fine to the city.
"Three hundred dollars." Stan says to himself. "How am I going to come up with that kind of money to pay this ridiculous fine?"
Continuing to think, an idea now comes to him.
"I know, I will siphon money from Wendy's sick pay!" Stan cheers. "I'll just pay her half of the minimum required and if asked about it, I'll just tell her I had some last minute expenses to take care of!"
And that's how Stan plans to pay his fine for insulting those people on the lake lol! That man will never learn will he? lol! Blackrose556, this is for you and I hope you liked it!
For everyone else, I will try to have part three to Versus Mabel uploaded soon. Thanks for being patient and hanging in there with me!
