Chapter 18: The Wizard Of Gravity Falls Part II
'The Wicked witch of the west has slowed down Mabel and the cowardly lion, putting them into a state of sleep! Will they ever reach the city so Mabel can get back home?'
Having found the book she needed, the witch quickly jumps to the page with the spell she needs. Reading over the contents on the page, the witch then chants the spell on the page. A purple sack now materializes on the witches lap.
"That's what I wanted." The blonde smirks, now grabbing the pouch and putting the book down. Opening the pouch, the witch reaches in and pulls out a hand full of purple dust. Blowing it towards the ball, the crystal clear reception in the ball now changes to a purple one.
"There, that should do it!" The blonde evilly laughs. "Now she will never reach Emerald City."
Back on the road, Mabel, Waddles, the Scarecrow, the Tin man, and the lion are continuing to make their way towards the city for when a field of poppies now sprout up around them. Inhaling in the poppy dander, Mabel can feel herself becoming dizzy.
"Hey, does anyone else notice that the world is spinning around them or is it just me?" Mabel asks as she halts in her tracks, Waddles also slowing down alongside her.
"I am noticing the same thing." The lion speaks with a yawn. "I feel so tired suddenly."
"Hey, you guys can't just stop now!" The tin man says to the two, now turning to them and noticing that they are sitting in the field. "The city is just up ahead and I want that heart like you promised me the guy would give me! The ladies dig a guy that can play a guitar! Maybe the good witch will agree to go out with me after she sees me shred with my guitar."
"But can't we rest just for a minute?" Mabel yawns, now laying down in the field next to the lion and Waddles. "I'm sure the wizard man will be there after we wake up in..a..minute."
Mabel's words trail off as she falls into a deep sleep.
"Oh come on!" The tin man fumes with exasperation.
The scarecrow rushes to the three and begins shaking Mabel to wake her up.
"We gotta like keep moving Mabel." The scarecrow says to her as he continues shaking her in hopes of waking her up. "We have to get to the city right away dudes."
At the North kingdom of the Good Witch, the witch's guard has noticed what has happened to Mabel and her friends on the road.
"It seems the wicked witch is at it again!" The guard, resembling the mayor of munchkin land, speaks, now getting the witches attention. "She has attacked our savior and her friends using sleep inducing poppies."
Putting down her magazine, the witch walks to the right of the guard and looks into her crystal ball to see that Mabel, Waddles, and the lion are fast asleep in the field of poppies.
"Look as if I have to teach her a lesson once again!" The witch growls. "Cast the reverse spell while I go have a talk with that witch once more!"
Nodding to the witch, the guard now reaches in his robe pocket and pulls out a red pouch. Opening it and reaching in, the guard pulls out a hand full of red dust, now sprinkling it on the ball.
With the wicked witch of the west, she notices that her poppie spell is working to perfection.
"Now Mabel will never return home and her little friends are like sitting ducks without her!" The witch gloats. "Even with a heart, brain, and courage, they will still be useless puppets!"
"I see you don't know when to give up!" The good witch's voice screams to the blonde witch. Looking up from her crystal ball, the blonde now spots the good witch approaching her and wearing one furious expression. Unable to think of how to stop the witch in her tracks, the blonde springs up from her throne and breaks into a run with the good witch hot on her trail.
"You get back here!" The good witch screams as she chases after the blonde. "I'll teach you to mess with our savior!"
Back with our heroes, snow started fall and as if by some miracle, the lion, Waddles, and Mabel started to wake.
"Just five more minutes mommy." Mabel mumbles as she rubs the sleep from her eyes. "Is it morning already?"
"I'm glad you see you're alright Mabel." Scarecrow says as he helps the girl back up to her feet. "Now let's hurry to emerald city."
"Yeah I've had enough freaky stuff happening to me already." Tin man complains.
Before long our brave travelers make their way to the main entrance of Emerald City. At the front gate, scarecrow rang the doorbell and after a minute, a large peek hole opens up on the door with a strange old man with a long beard poking his head out.
"Hey you wipper-snappers, can't you read!" The strange old man snaps to the group.
"Read what you crazy old coot?" Tin man snaps back. "There is nothing out here!"
"Old man McGucket?" Mabel questions, somewhat recognizing the guy. "Is that you?"
"Never heard of him little lady." The old gatekeeper replies. "Now read this sign!"
The gatekeeper then points to an empty spot on the door where the sign should be sitting, but isn't.
"There's nothing there!" Mabel sternly points out.
Looking out the hole, the old man now notices that what Mabel and the tin man said about the sign are true. There is indeed nothing hanging on the door!
"Oops hold on there." The gatekeeper says as he goes inside and returns with the sign which he quickly places on the door.
"That sign!" He then quickly retreated back inside shutting the door behind him.
"Bell broken. Please knock." The sign reads. So following the directions Mabel knocks on the door.
"Welcome to the Emerald City!" The gatekeeper now greets as he opens the doors. "So what brings you here?"
"We're here to see the wizard." Mabel answers.
"Why shore you can, but not looking like that." The gatekeeper happily says. "We need to spruce you critters up before you meet the wonderful wizard of oz! Tip top shape is what we are all about here!"
"Spruce up, you mean like make-overs!" Mabel squeals excitedly. "I love make-overs!"
The gatekeeper nodded pointing to the emerald city day spa.
"Welcome to the emerald city day spa where we always make you look your best." The Proprietor, a little girl with glasses and cosmetic tools taped to her fingers, says welcoming the trio and Waddles.
"Candy?" Mabel asks, blinking her eyes to make sure she is seeing her.
"No we don't serve candy here, only perms." The Proprietor clarifies with a giggle.
Mabel was feeling a bit confused but there's no way she would turn down a make-over! A free one at that! It took the better part of four hours, but in the end they all came out looking spiffy and good!
"Great, now can we see the wizard?!" Tin man grumbles, though he was admiring his new shine.
"Of course." A small boy wearing a green uniform approached them. "Now if you'd please follow me and I'll take you to your destination."
"Dipper! What are you doing here?" Mabel asks as if outraged to see the boy again. "First you were the mayor of munchkin land when I first arrived here and then you were a tree. Now you're….you're…here?!"
"I don't know what you're talking about madam." The boy replies. "I am the royal chancellor to the great Oz! Now if you'll come with me, I'll take you to the wizard."
"Hey Mabel, I've been meaning to ask you this." Scarecrow begins. "But who is this Dipper you keep seeing everywhere?"
"He's just some jerk that they all just happen to look like." Mabel grumbles in response.
"What are you talking about? The tree and this guy look nothing alike." Tin man points out. Both the scarecrow and lion nodded in agreement.
"Really?" Mabel starting to wonder if she's just seeing things.
"But he must be very special for you to see him everywhere." The lion chimed in.
"Yeah he is." Mabel agrees feeling even more confused and far more homesick than ever before.
They soon found themselves in the royal throne room eagerly waiting to the wizard.
"So where's this wizard guy?" Tin man asks. "I can't wait to get that heart and show off my new skills to the good witch. I know she'll go out with me after she gets a load of my guitar skills!"
"I AM THE GREAT AND POWERFUL OZ!" A monstrous voice now roars as flames and smoke shoot out of the empty throne. Above the throne, a ghostly giant head now appears.
"WHY HAVE YOU ENTERED MY DOMAIN?" the wizard asks the group with Waddles cowering behind Mabel.
"We were told that you can help us." They all gulp and speak up at the same time.
"A Brain." The scarecrow says.
"A Heart." The tin man speaks next.
"C-C-Cu-courage." the lion stutters.
"And get me and Waddles back home." Mabel says holding up Waddles.
"HOW DARE YOU! YOU COME INTO MY HOME AND START DEMANDING THINGS FROM ME!" The Wizard roars. "DID YOU THINK THAT I'M RUNNING SOME KIND OF MAKE A WISH CHARITY ORGANIZATION?!"
"So you're not going to grant us our wishes?" Mabel sulks with disappointment.
"I DIDN'T NOT SAY THAT! IN FACT, I HAVE EVERY INTENTION OF GRANTING YOUR WISHES!" The wizard promised, bringing smiles to everyone's faces.
"Really?" They all cheer.
"BUT FIRST YOU NEED TO DO A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR ME!" The Wizard begins. "I WANT YOU TO BRING ME THE BROOMSTICK OF THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST!"
"Say what now?" Mabel asks, hoping she misheard him.
"But we may have to kill her to get that crummy broom." Tin man points out.
"NOT MY PROBLEM! THE GREAT OZ HAS SPOKEN! NOW BEGONE!" The wizard declared before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
Having spoken to OZ, everyone now leaves the throne room with the assignment they must carry out before getting their wishes granted.
"So it would appear that the girl is coming here now." The witch observes in her crystal ball. "Perfect! Monkeys bring me the girl and her dog…cat…uh whatever that animal is! Do what you want with the others, but I want her alive! Now Fly, FLY!"
From her window, the Wicked Witch observes her flying moneys blanketing the sky as they fly to retrieve their prey.
On their way to the witch's castle, the scarecrow notices a dark shadow suddenly loom above them.
"Hey what's that?" The scarecrow asks, pointing to the sky, having noticed the dark shadows appear above them. But his warning came too late as the flock of monkeys came swooping down on them. The leader of the flying monkeys now lands in front of Mabel, surprising her.
"Gideon!" Mabel screams, but quickly overcomes her shock. "Surprisingly, this is a good look for you."
"When the witch mentioned a girl that she wanted us to retrieve, she didn't mention how cute you were!" Gideon compliments as he approaches Mabel.
"You are disgusting!" Mabel notes as she punches the monkey in the face.
Having been punched in the face by the girl, the monkey screeches loudly as it and several others pick Mabel up into the air and fly off with her. Another monkey grabs Waddles and soon follows after the rest.
"Oh no! We've got to rescue Mabel!" The lion declares.
"No doubt, they are taking her to the wicked witch!" The tin man agrees. "So we better hurry!"
"Do we have to? You know we could like find another little girl to travel with." The scarecrow suggests, not wanting to go near the wicked witch's castle.
"Ugh, and I'm suppose to be the heartless one!" The tin sighs with disapproval.
"Yeah and cowardly is my thing." The lion adds.
-At the Witch's Castle-
"Aw what a cute little piggy." The Witch says, patting Waddles on the head.
"Hey you give me back my Waddles!" Mabel demands.
"Alright my pretty, as soon as you give me those ruby shoes!" The Witch yells.
"No way! Not in a million, babillion years!" Mabel retorts, but her expression lightens upon being called pretty by the witch. "Wait you think I'm pretty?"
"Fine then! It looks as if I'll be having bacon for breakfast!" The witch speaks sinisterly as she continues patting Waddles' head, this time a little more roughly.
"Ooo, can I have some too? I'm starving." Mabel hopes, considering she hasn't eaten since she left home.
"You're not very bright are you?" The witch asks cynically at the girl not picking up on what she said.
"Hehe, I get that a lot." Mabel cheerfully says. The witch rolls her eyes with annoyance.
-A brief explanation of the origin of breakfast meats later-
"You're going to eat Waddles, No!" Mabel gasps. "And bacon is pig's butt, gross!"
"Tell me about it." The witch agrees. "So give me those shoes or else, I will have a full meal, starting with your little piggy friend here!"
"Fine! I didn't want these anyway!" Mabel complies, sticking her foot out. "Just don't hurt Waddles!"
Pleased at the girl's compliance, the witch releases Waddles and begins approaching Mabel.
"At last!" The witch grins, but just as she reaches for the shoes, a spark of electricity shoots from them, deflecting the blonde witch. "Curses! How could I have forgotten about the rule?! I can't take them from you, not while you are still alive!"
"Say what now?" Mabel hoping she misheard her.
"I have no problem killing you, but the problem is how to do it." The Witch begins contemplating. "These things have to be done delicately or the magic will be ruined. I'll think more about it after breakfast."
As if he understood what she was implying, Waddles now makes a mad dash out of the castle. Seeing her meal and ransom get away, the witch growls.
"Get him you fools!" The witch orders, her underlings now giving chase. "I still want bacon for breakfast this morning!"
After barely escaping the castle, Waddles now makes his way back to the others. The scarecrow is the first to notice the little pig.
"Hey there's Waddles!" The scarecrow points. "I think he like wants us to follow him dudes."
"No kidding genius." Tin man spits sarcastically. "Did you figure that out all by yourself?"
"Yup all up here." The scarecrow says, pointing to his head with pride.
"You know, I know you don't have a heart and all, but that doesn't mean you have to be a jerk!" The lion preaches.
Tin man simply scoffs at her, but couldn't help but wonder if she might have a point. The trio now follows Waddles to the witch's castle. Arriving at the fortress, the trio and Waddles notices a dozens of guards patrolling all over the place.
"So any idea on how we're going to get in there?" Tin man asks hoping someone would know what to do.
"I know." The scarecrow begins. "You take those dozens guards over there. Lion takes those twenty or so guards over there. Me and Waddles will charge up the middle and break the doors down."
"Okay, does anyone have a do-able idea," Tin man rephrases himself.
"Or we could just borrow those guys' uniforms and sneak in." Scarecrow points to three guards sleeping on the job.
"That's a good idea actually." Tin man compliments. "Heh, maybe you're not as dumb as you look after all."
"Hey what's that suppose to mean?" Scarecrow asks.
After stealing the guards uniforms, everyone quickly but carefully makes their way inside. Waddles leads them to the room where Mabel was being held captive.
"Hey Mabel are you in there?" Lion asks with Mabel perking up, now hearing their voices on the other side of the door.
"Hey guys is that you?" Mabel responds, now running to the door. "Is Waddles with you?"
"It's us and yes Waddles led us here." Scarecrow reports while trying to open the door.
With the Tin man's help, the door to the room Mabel is in now opens with everyone being reunited once again. Waddles now jumps into Mabel's arms and rubs against her face, indicating that he missed her and a lot.
After a heartfelt reunion, they now make their way to the exit only to be blocked off by the witch's guards.
"Well, well, well." The witch begins while slow clapping and appearing in front of the group. "I must applaud your valiant attempts to escape, but as you can see you're trapped! Kill them all except the girl! I still need her alive."
As the guards start to close in on the group, scarecrow notices that the guards are all standing under a chandelier which is conveniently tied to a post next to him. Quickly untying the ropes, the chandelier falls right on top of the guards! What follows next is a classic 60's chase montage with the gang splitting up and running inside and exiting out of random rooms! But before long they soon found themselves cornered by the witch and her second set of guards again.
"While I like to say that it's been fun, it hasn't!" The witch sneers, now grabbing a torch. "Hey scarecrow need a light?!"
The witch now throws the torch at the scarecrow setting him on fire.
"Oh no, oh no, help I'm like burning alive dudes!" The scarecrow yells.
"Don't panic! Stop, drop, and roll!" Tin man instructs, but the scarecrow was too busy panicking to listen. "Does anyone not follow that rule anymore?!"
"Hold still!" The lion advises as she tries to stomp out the fire, but again, the scarecrow was too busy panicking.
"What will we do? What can I do?" Mabel panics, frantically searching for a solution.
"Here use this!" One of the guards suggests, now handing Mabel a bucket of water.
"Dipper." Mabel whispers, now seeing the guard's face. The guard simply winked at her before disappearing into the crowd.
Not wanting to waste time thinking about it, Mabel quickly threw the water at scarecrow instantly dousing the flames, but she also splashed the witch in the process.
"YOU IDIOT! LOOK AT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE?!" The witch screams. "I'M MELTING! MELTING! OH WHAT A WORLD! What a world!"
The witch's voice garbled as she is reduced to a tiny puddle. The guards gather around the puddle and carefully examine it before confirming it.
"She's dead!" The guardsman resembling Dipper reports. "You killed her!"
"Would you believe it was an accident?" Mabel pleads afraid of what was going to happen now.
"Hail Mabel, the wicked witch is dead!" The guards cheer.
"Oh hail Mabel!" The leader of the flying monkeys now joins in. "The cute and powerful one!"
"Okay how does this make any sense?" Mabel wonders, watching as the guards bow to her.
"Just go with it." The guard that gave Mabel the water suggests.
"You." Mabel smiles. "So can we have her broom?"
"Take it, it's yours by the rules after all." The Dipper guard reminds her. "Now I believe you and your friends have somewhere to be."
"Thanks." Mabel cheers as the guards hands her the broom.
-Back at the Emerald City in the Wizards throne room
"WHY HAVE YOU RETURNED?" The wizard demands.
"We've brought you the witch's broom just like you asked." Mabel replies, presenting the broomstick.
"SO YOU HAVE!" The wizard acknowledges, recognizing the broom.
"Well we are ready for you to grant our wishes." Mabel happily bounces.
"I WILL CONSIDER IT! COME BACK TOMORROW!" The wizard decrees.
"What! No way!" They all protest. "You promised us!"
"Do you know what we had to go through just to bring you that crummy broom stick?!" The Tin man nearly yells. "I want that heart and I'm not leaving here without it!"
"OZ HAS SPOKEN! I SAID COME BACK TOMORROW!" The Wizard booms.
As the wizard ushers his commands, Waddles runs off from the group and approaches the curtain, where he proceeds eating it. Devouring a good percent of it, it is revealed that an old man is fiddling with a fancy contraption. The man now notices that his cover has been blown.
"AH, PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT HANDSOME MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!" Both the wizard and the man say at the same time. "The great and powerful Oz commands it…..I guess the gig is up."
"Gruncle Stan?!" Mabel gasps.
"Nope, my name is Oscar." The old man introduces himself, now stepping away from the devices. "Oz to my friends, if I had any. Just your common ordinary Carnival magician."
"You humbug!" Mabel accuses. "What about the stuff you promised us?! Like tin man's heart or even lion's courage? And the Scarecrow's brain!"
"A brain." Oscar "Oz" laughed. "My friend, I'll have you know that most people have no more brains than you do, but they do have one thing you that you don't and that's a diploma."
Oz began searching around in his closet and drawers, finally pulling out one of those novelty diplomas.
"By the power vested in me by well me, I give you this diploma from the college of uh smartitude." Oz grants, now handing the diploma to the scarecrow who proudly accepts it.
"The sum of the square root of any two sides of any isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side!" the scarecrow figures.
"That a right triangle genius!" Oz corrects him.
"Close enough." scarecrow says with satisfaction.
"Moving on." Oz says, now approaching the lion. "As for you. You said you wanted courage."
"If you would sir." The lion asks politely.
"My friend, you are confusing courage with stupidity." Oz began. "Just because you run head first into danger does not mean you are brave. Real courage is knowing when to fight and when to run. Those who can tell the difference are called heroes, and you my friend have proven that you are one!"
Oz brought out a cheap carnival medal with the word 'Hero' inscribe on it.
"So now I present this to you as proof of your courage." Oz grants, placing the medal around the lion's neck.
"Now, you said you wanted a heart." Oz finally turning to the tin man.
"Yeah they said I could make better music if I had one." Tin man nods. "And I'm hoping the good witch will go out with me once she gets a load of my guitar skills."
"That's a matter of opinion, but if you really think so, here try giving this one a go." Oz encourages, now handing the tin man a new guitar with a heart shaped design.
Tin man then took a deep breath before he started playing. Thanks to the wizard's high quality instrument, the tin man was able to hit the high notes that he couldn't before on his old guitar.
"That was AWESOME!" Tin man declares after he finished.
"You Rock!" Mabel cheers, with the others applauding.
"Thanks man, and thank you all." Tin man takes in with an oil tear in his eye.
"Don't get all emotional on us sheesh." Oz gripes.
"So what about Mabel?" Scarecrow, Tin man, and Lion asks in unison.
"Oh yeah her." Oz begins pondering. "Today is your lucky day missy! Looks like I have no choice but to take you home myself."
"You can do that?" Mabel smiles wide.
"Of course!" Oz insists. "You see before I came to Oz, I was doing some hot air balloon things when a twister suddenly came along and whisked me all the way here. The poor saps, when they saw me floating down, they assumed I was a great wizard and asked me to be king. So out of the goodness of my heart, I accepted the job."
"So with your balloon I can go home?" Mabel says eagerly.
"Yup, I kept it is good working order in case I have to make fast get away-I mean need to go home." Oz quickly corrects himself. "Chancellor ready my balloon."
"As you wish your wizardness!" The Chancellor responds.
Later out in courtyard, everyone in the Emerald City gathered to see Mabel and the wizard off.
"My good people, due to my promise to this little girl, I'm afraid that I'm going to have to leave for a while." Oz informs them.
"But your wizardness, you can't just leave without putting someone in charge!" Chancellor argues.
"You're right of course Chancellor." Oz agrees. "Eeny, meeny, miny you! You're in charge until I get back."
Oz now points to the scarecrow, thus putting him in charge of the city while he is away.
"I won't let you down sir." The scarecrow promises while saluting.
As Oz prepares to lift off, Waddles now smells the aroma of the banquet and jumps off the balloon.
"Waddles, you get back here!" Mabel orders as she jumps ship and begins after her pig.
"Mabel stop!" Oz yells, but his warning came too late as the balloon began to lift off the ground and fly off.
Having gotten ahold of her pig, Mabel returns only to find the wizard's balloon flying off without her on it.
"Hey come back!" Mabel yells. "You forgot me!"
"I can't! I don't know how this thing works!" Oz yells back as the balloon continues flying upwards.
"Now what will we do?" Mabel wonders, hugging Waddles close for comfort. "How will we get home?"
"You can stay here with us." Tin man offers with the others nodding in agreement. "If it weren't for you, none of us would be who we are now. Especially me."
"Say you'll stay Mabel." The Lion encourages.
Mabel smiles with joy, grateful to have made friends like them.
"You guys." Mabel says.
"Or you can go home." The good witch suggests as she appears in front of her.
"But how can I?" Mabel asks, her sadness returning. "The wizard's balloon is gone."
"By using your ruby shoes of course." The Good Witch informs her.
"Wait, you mean to say that I had the means to go home this entire time and no one told me?!" Mabel yells. "I got chased by a witch and kidnapped only to find out that while I had these shoes on the entire time, I could have gone home ages ago?!"
"Yes and no." The good witch calmly replies. "Yes you had the magic, but it would only work if you truly wanted to return home. That is if you believe in magic."
"Wha..." Mabel not understanding anything.
"You came here because you were feeling neglected and wanted to find a place where people appreciated you." The good witch reminds her. "So the only way you can go back is if you prefer your world over this one."
Mabel now recalls how everyone basically blew her off back home, but here, looking at her new found friends the lion, the tin man, and the scarecrow, they all wanted her to stay there. It's because of her, they are no longer who they use to be, but new beings because she believed in them and encouraged them to be better beings than who they were.
Mabel then looked at the crowd gathering around her. In the crowd, she spotted mayor munchkin, the tree, the chancellor, and the guardsman. All the people she met with Dipper's face, but it wasn't just them. She also noticed a Dipper scarecrow, a Dipper monkey, a Dipper doll, and a whole lot more. Mabel finally understood that this world was only catering to her desire. No matter where she goes in Oz there will always be a Dipper there looking out for her. But none of these Dippers is the one she wanted. She only wanted to be back home with the real Dipper, her twin brother.
"Dipper!" Mabel cries before turning to the good witch. "I'm ready to go home now! I miss my home, my friends, but most of all, I miss my twin brother, Dipper!"
The good witch smiles with approval, knowing that what Mabel wanted all along finally dawned on her.
"I still don't see the resemblance." Tin man whispers to the scarecrow who nodded in agreement.
"Alright Mabel just click your heels three times and say 'There's no Place Like Home'." The good witch instructs.
"There's no place like home, there's no place like home." Mabel repeats while clicking her heels. The world around her then began spinning, spinning faster and faster. Pretty soon the whole world became one giant blur causing Mabel to pass out.
"Mabel, Mabel are you alright?" a voice calls out to the unconscious girl.
"Ugh! Five more minutes mommy." Mabel groans as she turns over on her side.
"Sorry Mabel, but I think you've been out long enough." The voice, now recognized to be Dipper's, says to her.
Opening her eyes, Mabel notices that her brother is staring down at her with his eyes full of worry.
"Dipper!" Mabel jumps wide awake. "Is it really you? You're not a munchkin, or a tree, or a witch's guard?"
"What? No it's just me, Mabel." Dipper reassures her. "Your little twin brother, Dipper."
"Thank goodnesss." Mabel breathes a sigh of relief.
Sitting up, Mabel now looks around and notices that she is lying on the ground next to a hollow tree. She then notices that Waddles is standing next to her.
"Man Mabel you must have hit your head hard." Dipper notices, now helping the girl to her feet. "You were out cold when I found you. Come on let's get you home."
"There's no place like home." Mabel speaks softly as the two begins making their way back to the shack.
"Hey Mabel, what's with the Wizard of Oz references?" Dipper wonders.
"The Wizard of what now?" Mabel questions in confusion.
"You know you really need to read more than those silly romance vampire novels." Dipper says to her. "The wizard of Oz is a tale of a little girl traveling with a scarecrow, tin man, and a cowardly lion to see a wizard that will grant them all a wish. It's a real classic."
"Maybe we can read it together some time?" Mabel hopes.
"Of course Sis." Dipper agrees, the two now entering into the shack.
And there you have it! Mabel had the power to go home all along, but only if she believed in magic and wanted to return! Turns out, she didn't need the wizard after all! Welcome home Mabel!
