OMG I am such a horrible person. I can't believe it's been over a month since this got updated. I do apologize for my long hiatus. If only school wasn't so hard. Anyways, I'm back! Midterms are over (YAY!) and that means I got time back to update this fanfic. I'll be honest, it took me at least six tries to get an idea in my head. I tried to make this chapter as long as possible, to make up for being late with this second chapter. I hope it turns out good. Also, in the upcoming weeks or so, I will be developing a two/three shot which will be called "A Peril Blizzard" Inspiration came to me when I got hit by Snowmageddon last weekend. (2 ft of snow!) Check that out. More info is posted on my Profile page.

Also, thanks for the positive comments back on the first chapter. This chapter brings back our favorite Gravity Falls mystery twins, as they begin a whole new adventure.

Since I wrote Alternate Universe during the Now What He Seems archive, I decided that I will not follow the story line of the actual show. However, there will be pop-ups of a few scenes, from the show, from time to time in the beginning but as the story goes on, it will alternate.

And in case you were wondering, a battle will be developed in this story, but it will not follow the events of the Weirdmageddon archive whatsoever.

Anyways guys, I give you chapter 2 of the sequel. Hope it was worth the wait. See ya at my Author's note at the end of the chapter!

Enjoy!

Chapter 2: Normal Comes At A Price

Location: Gravity Falls

Mabel's POV:

Why are we watching this? I was so excited to finally watch the season finale of Ducktective, but now, I was just wishing to do something else. I was really excited to see this episode; most people said it was boring as heck, but others thought it was amazing. Wendy, Candy, and Grenda attempted to tell me what happened, and tried to tell me their reactions. Even Dipper attempted to look up what happened, on the internet. I didn't want to know what happened; I wanted my own reaction, and I wanted to watch it with my bro-bro. At the beginning of this episode, there were so many exciting parts and thrills, but towards the end, it was getting boring. However, I kept a positive attitude, and watched it to the very last second.

I wasn't able to see this episode when it actually aired, due to the fact, that I was stuck in a different dimension. In there, I met me and my brother's dopplegangers, and defeated two psychotic dream demons, with a simple, small death diamond. Dipper missed this episode as well, since he was in Slaff Ytivarg, saving me. In the end of the entire journey, I was glad to succeed in something I would never thought I could accomplish, but sad that I had to say goodbye to Reppid and Lebam. I was hoping that some time, in the future, I would see them again, and all four of us, could commence an unstoppable, mystery twins team. We could take down villains, solve crazy mysteries; do anything our hearts desire. Maybe that day would come soon, but for right now, I think it's just best to live in the moment.

I realized that I was thinking more about the Senip twins, than watching the Ducktective finale. I quickly push those thoughts to the back of my head, and focused in, on the television. "Quack Quack Quack. Quack Quack Quack." said Ducktective. He was currently on a hospital bed, clinging on for dear life. An oxygen mask was placed on his beak, looking up weakly at his partner in crime. His buddy, clutched onto his cop hat; almost bursting into tears. The subtitles blazed onto the screen, translating the "quacks" into English. The subtitles read: "I'm going to that big pond in the sky."

"I just don't understand who shot you." Responded the unnamed cop. I wish the creators would apply him a name, but as far as I'm aware, he is nameless. I can picture him as a Marvin or a Calum. "The only person clever enough to defeat Ducktective is...DUCKTECTIVE!" He cried as he came to a realization. Seconds after his conclusion left his mouth, a flying, metal object hit the officer, as he fell to the floor, unconscious. Stunned, Ducktective sat up in bed, and saw the silhouette of a mammal's figure, standing in the doorway. "Oh, great. Who could that be?" I thought to myself, sarcastically.

As the figure stepped into the light, it revealed its true figure to Ducktective. This mammal seemed to have physical features, that were similar to Ducktective, but the only difference, was a black beard, hanging from its lower beak. "Oh geez, I think I know who this is." I say in my head. Man, these creators, need to come up with better plot twists.

"Quack Quack Quack Quack Quack...QUACK QUACK QAUCK!" Subtitles: "Time to finish the job...TWIN BROTHER!"

"QUAAAACK!" Subtitles: (TERRIFIED QUACK)

As the end credits appeared across the screen, I sighed aloud, resting my head on my brother's shoulder. I can't believe this; I was really looking forward to seeing the season finale. The upcoming attractions seemed really interesting, and the episode beforehand left a better cliffhanger than this episode. I wasted an hour, sitting in Grunkle Stan's armchair with Dipper, with the popcorn and the duck-print chips. This was the big twist we've been waiting for?

"I can't believe I missed this episode." I said, while turning off the television. "The big twist wasn't even that exciting."

"That was literally, the dumbest season finale I have ever seen in my life." Dipper replied, while stretching out his limbs. We've both been sitting in the armchair for an hour, and we both felt cramps in our bodies. "I think we can both agree that Gravity Falls TV has the worst television shows." Her brother responded.

"Eh. Some of them are good, but the majority of them could use some improvement." I stated.

"Okay, you got me there." Dipper smirked. I smiled.

"But don't even get me started on the movies, bro. Throughout our whole summer here in Oregon, I have not seen one good movie at all, on the television. By any chance, if you found a good movie, please let me know so I could check it out for myself." I replied.

"I'll be honest, Mabel, I haven't seen any good movies. Wendy, and I do movie night every Saturday night, and the movies they show are awful." Dipper said.

"Didn't one of them, have something to do with zombies? It had a really pointless title to it." I inquired. Dipper laughed, before replying back to me.

"It was called 'Nearly Almost Dead but Not Quite!' Not something worth watching, sis." he said.

"Don't worry, I won't even think about watching it. However, I did see a lame movie with the girls in the beginning of the summer. It was called 'Ghost Turtle'. The most ironic part in that movie, is that the turtle was underneath a white sheet. He wasn't even a ghost." I said. We both laughed at that thought.

"Oh, I saw that. I also saw 'The Planet People of Planet Planet', and 'The Man With No Taste'". Dipper listed.

"And I also watched 'The Widdlest Wampire' and 'Attack of the Exclamation Points!'" I stated. "But I think you and I can both agree, that the dumbest movie ever created in Gravity Falls, is..."

"'Help! My Mummy's A Werewolf, one, and two: This Again!'" We said in unison. We both laughed. I bet with a little thought, Dipper and I could both make a great movie, that would knock all the other Gravity Falls lame movies, out of the ballpark.

As time passed by, both Dipper and I grew occupied, and ended up doing different activities. Dipper remained in the living room, and looked through his journal to study some pages. I on the other hand, went up to our shared bedroom, and began working on a new sweater. However, this sweater wasn't for me; it was for Dipper. I decided to make him one, for two reasons. The first one was to say thank you. Dipper has done so many things this summer, that I cannot even remember all of it. He has given so much up for me, that I thought making this would help me express my gratitude. The second reason was for his birthday. Dipper and I are twins, and we always make our birthdays as special as possible. And besides, just because we share a birthday, doesn't mean we shouldn't give each other gifts. We both give one another great birthday gifts; I don't think we've ever hated what the opposite twin gave.

I drew imaginary blueprints as to what Dipper's gift was going to come out as. I had so many ideas, that I ended up going to war with myself. However, I was able to come up with a great, solid idea. Dipper's sweater was going to be a white and teal sweater, with a pine tree in the middle. In the center of the tree, I'm planning to stitch in: "Thanks for all you do for me, Dippingsauce." Dipper's not a big fan of wearing sweaters all that much; but I figure if it came from someone that truly cares about him, he'll end up loving it, no matter what.

An hour passed, and I was just finishing up the neck hole. I knew exactly how large his neck was, since I calculated it with a tape measurer. Of course, when I did it, I accidentally tightened it around his neck, a bit too tight. It was only for a split second, so he wasn't all that upset with me. Just as I was finishing, cleaning up the loose threads, I heard footsteps, rapidly stomping up the stairs. Guesstimating that it was my brother, I quickly hide the present under my bed, and hide all of my knitting supplies. Frantically, I grab an old issue of a preteen magazine, and pretend to read it. As soon as I was settled, Dipper burst into the room.

"Hey, Mabel." Dipper greeted, with his hands behind his back. I could obviously tell by his smile, he had something important to tell me. Although, I was surprised, I didn't see the journal with him; that thing is practically glued to his person. "I found something in the journal, that I think you'll love to see."

"Oh, yeah?" I say, growing excited. I throw the magazine to the side of the bed, and sit up, anxious to see what discovery Dipper, found. "Show me! Let me see!"

Dipper, then, took me by the hand, and dragged me down the stairs. He ended up leading me towards the living room, but before I could even place a foot on the ground, my brother instructs me to close my eyes. I do so, still trying to figure out what could be in the journal.

I hear Dipper's footsteps, walk into the living room, and then walk back towards me. My smile grew big, when I was told to open them. I almost jumped put of my skin, when he showed me the journal. This page, had information in it, regarding my favorite animal of all time; Unicorns!

"DIPPER! OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! UNICORNS?!" I say as loud as possible. "I LOVE UNICORNS!"

"I know you do. It says in here that unicorns live in the most magical part of the forrest, right by the gnome tavern, and the fairy salon. So, I was wondering, to kill some time, if you wanted to go in the woods, and search for-" Dipper said, but I didn't let him finish, do to my screams of excitement, and pulling him in to the tightest hug I could muster.

"AHHHH! OF COURSE! DIPPER, YOU ROCK!" I yell, excitedly. Dipper laughed, and returned the embrace. Once we released, I make my way towards the steps, but Dipper, questioned my actions. I smile, and roll my eyes playfully, before replying back to my dork of a brother.

"I just have to run back upstairs real quick, and grab my shoes; unless you want me to go out there, barefooted." I joked.

"No, thanks. Go for it. I'll be right here, waiting for you." He replied, smiling. I then make a dash up to our room, screaming with joy and laughter. I couldn't believe it, UNICORNS EXIST IN GRAVITY FALLS! I can't believe this was actually happening; and I once taped a traffic cone onto a horse's head. Sure, I got banned from the petting zoo, but, hey, I was only nine. I know better now, not to do it again.

But, I could do it again, if I wanted to.

As I made it to the bedroom, I opened the door, and notice that something was off. What gave me the first instinct, was my pet pig, Waddles. I saw him hiding underneath my bed, quivering with fear. I made an attempt to approach him, but he oinked out in terror, making an attempt to get further underneath the bed.

"Waddles, what's wrong, buddy?" I questioned. I then began to receive the few flutters in my stomach. Waddles, never acts like this. The only time he did, was when the Mystery Shack got attacked by zombies; at least I defeated them with a three-part harmony with Dipper and Grunkle Stan. I walked over towards the triangle window, looking out for any potential signs of the walking dead. However, there was nothing out there besides birds, flying high in the sky, and a squirrel, gathering nuts into its cute, little cheeks. I then, twisted my body around, and saw the familiar scene when I first walked in the room. Sighing aloud, I walk over towards my bed, and onto my hands and knees. Waddles, was still shaking vigorously; this is completely, unlike him. Not even my comforting words of reassurance, would break through the steel mask of fright to my pet pig. I just assumed that Waddles, had a nightmare of some kind.

"Waddles, come on. You're okay. Nothing's going to hurt you." I say, as I put my hands around his shaking, furry body, and tried to pry out from the bed. He was so strong; almost as if he nailed himself to the floorboards.

Pulling with all my strength, I heard Dipper call up to me. "Mabel, what's taking so long? You okay up there?"

"Yeah." I call back down to him. "I'm just trying to get Waddles out from under the bed. I'll be down soon though."

"Let me know, if you need help." Dipper shouted in reply.

"I will." I say. I continued to pull Waddles out from the bed, but he wasn't budging. I was growing tired, but I wasn't going to stop, until Waddles, was home free.

"Waddles, quit acting like this. You're okay, boy." I say. Success was granted, as I was able to pull his head out. However, as I looked down at him, Waddles, immediately stopped resisting, and he looked straight at me in an evil kind of way. Quickly, I let go of his body, and landed flat on my behind. Waddles, walked out calmly from the bed, and approached me. His eyes seemed different than before; they were yellow!

"W-Waddles?" I stuttered, while my intestines clenched in my stomach, and tried to scoot away from my beloved, pet pig. Then, the unthinkable happened, which almost scared me close to death.

"Not today, Shooting Star. You may have destroyed my form, but my soul still lingers." the pig said. Paralyzed with fear, I screamed in horror. Was that who I think it was? That can't be possible. I destroyed him back in Slaff Ytivarg with the death diamond. There's no way this is real. Please just let this be a nightmare. Please tell me this is all in my head.

So many thoughts were spinning through my head, that I didn't even notice my brother, running into the room and rushing to my side. He obviously heard my screams of fear, and my mind was so cloudy to reply back to him. My breathing was getting heavier, and I kept on blinking my eyes, to see if this was all a dream. My gaze kept shifting from Dipper, to Waddles; I still saw those devious, wicked yellow eyes in my pet's face. I frantically rubbed my eyes clear, and when I looked back at Waddles, for a final time, his eyes were back to normal.

"Mabel, what happened?" Dipper asked, with his hand on my shoulder. I didn't want to tell him what I just experienced; we were having such a good day, and I didn't want to think the isosceles triangle was appearing back in the picture. I decided it was best to tell a little white lie to my brother, just so that he would let it go for now. But if this was real, and it ends up occurring again, I would definitely consult to Dipper with this matter, but not today.

"Oh...nothing really."

"I heard you scream though. Are you okay? You sounded like you were in trouble." He said, in a nervous tone.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I was only screaming...because...Waddles and I...were...playing around." I fib. Dipper looked at me skeptically, not buying my statement.

"Are you sure?" Dipper asked.

"Yeah. After I pulled him out from underneath the bed, he and I...just started playing around...and I screamed, because I didn't look, and he knocked me off my feet, by accident." I conclude. It took my brother a couple of seconds to reply back. He kept on studying voice, along with my facial features. After some time though, Dipper, sighed aloud in relief.

"Alright. As long as you're okay." He replies, as he sticks out his hand for me to grab. I take it gladly, as he helps me up to a standing position. I then, locate my shoes, and slide them on with ease, onto my feet.

"So, Dippingsauce, you ready to find these Unicorns?" I say, changing the subject.

"Yep." He replies, making his way towards the exit of our shared bedroom. "Let's head out."

"Right behind you, bro-bro." I state. Before I leave the room though, I take one final look at Waddles; more importantly, his eyes. They were still normal, and did not look menacing from earlier. To make sure my pig was back to normal, I give him a simple compliment.

"Whose a good boy?"

Just as before, Waddles oinked in response. Sheer relief flooded through my body, knowing that everything was right as before. I give Waddles a simple pat on the head, and vacate from the bedroom. I began to walk down the stairs, making my way towards my brother, so we can start this adventure. "Phew. I guess it was all in my head." I said to myself.

"Yeah, keep thinking that."
