Pacifica has never been happier.

Mabel hadn't outright torn her ideas down, nor did she insult them. She did act as if seeing them made her sad, before she hugged and comforted her over being unable to express her inner party girl.

So, for a couple days now, she has been getting a crash course on how much she has been missing out on with Summer-ween and Halloween. Even with parties in general, she had missed out on so much, because her father refused to allow her to experience what he called, just another commoner get together.

This time, she got to pick out the decorations instead of a party planner her dad chose. She got to pick the food instead of some caterer. Mabel had opened options for her, showing her everything they could have here, and she picked a lot of them, and got to choose where they went. She had feared things being the same as with her "first" party. But Mabel helped her in a way that this party was still her own, but it was more than she ever thought it could be.

And Dipper was the reason for everything.

She decided to have an open gate party, everyone welcomed so long as they followed the rules. No fighting and they must be in costume. Mabel had placed Mikey, the party koopa, on guard detail, with three more koopa bots for backup. Mabel said something about the colors must match or something, but Pacifica didn't really care.

Pacifica decided, that while she didn't want to just be another damsel, she still wanted to be a hot badass babe. So, she got to dress as Tifa Lockhart. Dipper approved, if the fact he walked into a wall the first time he saw her in her costume was any indication. At first, Pacifica had plans to just wear a dress and a tiara for a princess costume, but before she could tell the others of her plans as they talked about costumes, Mabel had been talking about this character or that. Mabel pointed out several female characters with cool or outlandish backstories that would be awesome to dress as.

Pacifica had asked who some of the characters were, and that is how she got introduced to a whole bunch of female arch types she had never known existed. Including the gentle motherly badass that kicked the teeth of gods and huge artificial weapons down their own throats. She was already learning how to do magic, maybe she could learn to be as awesome as these girls.

She had the ass for it if Mabel's opinion mattered.

Mabel had set Dipper up with a Cloud Strife costume, which the boy almost laughed about. The irony was lost on none of them with his costume choice. The theme chosen, Mabel decided to go with a black first class soldier outfit, while Candy went with Aerith, Grenda went with Barret.

Dipper would dress before entering the party, but right now, he was on one of the top floor balconies, having informed Mabel and Pacifica that he was going to be late, because his surveillance bots have informed him of Ford's plan. Apparently, the thought that he lived there, or that he placed the journals in the bunker has yet to hint that he bugged the place. He ransacked and put the shapeshifter under his command, why would he not bug the place to make sure his plot moved how it was supposed to. Watching Wendy suffer through dealing with Momma Precious and Hot Stuff was hilarious, and he had recordings of both, especially when Ford popped up and went Navi on the girl.

=-=-=-=-=With the Heroes=-=-=-=-=

Wendy had never felt lighter, she had talked with her family, and they used the second life on her mother, giving them all a reason to celebrate. Something else Wendy had noticed; was how well her family was doing. They weren't Northwest rich, but after Dipper took over, the boy had claimed his spot as king, and claimed that they were going to start using a new currency.

Bronze, silver, and gold coins with his face on one side, Mabel's on the other. Dipper had made it clear that he was starting his own kingdom, and to do that they need to break away from using the currency of America. So if you want to make a living here, you have to use the new system. Dipper made sure they did, by taking ownership of the town. So, if you want to pay rent, you need to earn the new coins. Want electricity, you have to use the new coins.

Dipper wasn't bad about this though, he did set up ways for them to earn the currency, and even gave out small loans, no one was hit too hard with the shift in currency. Fifty bronzes to a silver, fifty silver to a gold, and bronze were starting to feel worth a single quarter. So, while things were starting to look more expensive, they were feeling more affordable.

But while Dipper had metal in high stocks, he had to go to Dan to get wood. Dipper can use forms of alchemy and chemicals to make whatever he wanted with his metals and robots, and while he could do Dan's job himself and take over the lumber business, that would require him to break down his own society, so he had to play by the rules he had set, which means paying Dan for the materials he needed.

Dipper hated cheaters.

Didn't hurt that when Dipper went to him, he admitted why he didn't take the punch from him during Pioneer Day. Dan had a smirk throughout the day after he heard that. He might not be good enough to fight Dipper, but he was manly enough to make the boy cautious of taking a punch. Wendy also chuckled when she got the story.

Soos was the one that gave her a call to inform her about the Royal Summer-ween Open-gate Party. Wendy knew this was her chance to challenge Dipper again, but she also had to deal with the fact that Ford had contacted her for her aid with his plan to battle Dipper.

Which is where we are now, Wendy talking with Ford as he explained his plan to gather the Manotaurs to take back their town and restore order. Wendy was ignored when she mentioned the town was doing better, and that this was beginning to feel more like a game for entertainment, with no real stakes. Dipper wanted the entertainment, and she was the only person he saw as a worthy opponent, which she will have to ask him how he figured she would be able to handle it, how he knew her, and how the hell he managed to give the multi-bear a journal, years before he was even born.

Yeah, she had gone back and gotten more info from the bear about how long he had the journal, and apparently, he had tea with a very dapper looking fellow, eyes like the void that tipped its hat to you. And that was around fifty to sixty years ago. But at this point, it looked more like she was fighting for the woods at this point.

Ford had gotten the heads up with everyone else here, they were holding a Summer-ween party, which baffled the two out of towners. After explaining the holiday, and Ford starting his plan by rallying the Manotaurs, Wendy decided to just follow along and see how Dipper handles this. Wendy warned the adults about the costume rule, and even if they failed with the invasion, they could still get in if they wore the costumes.

Ford said that would be ridiculous, because his plan won't fail. With the manotaurs, that for whatever reason that escapes Ford, Dipper didn't use for his own army as the muscle, they could bust down the doors and pin Dipper before using his invention, which would paralyze the boy so that he could use the brainwave scrambler to get Bill out of his mind and then they could vanquish the boy.

Easy and simple.

Wendy was a bit annoyed as she took the other adults to start up her own backup plan. They grabbed simple costumes from the store, Stan was annoyed that they had a new monetary system, but felt a bit better when he was directed to get some of the new currency for himself. After dealing with all that stuff, Ford was the only person there without a costume. Stan and Alex wound up wearing the Dracula costumes, Stan's usual go to for either Halloween or Summerween. While Dana just went with the generic Nurse costume, and Priscilla went with the Red Riding Hood.

Ford had seen them dressed up and frowned. "I am telling you, there is no point to that."

"Whatever Sixer, you do you, leave us to our own plans. If you solve things, great, if you don't, we can still get in to talk with the boy."

Ford led the large group of manotaurs through the town, prepared to fight Dipper and claim victory in this little game. Which is where we left Dipper at, staring down from a balcony as Ford led his army to his front gates, where they were stopped by Mikey and his assistant bots.

Dipper decided to go and greet them himself.

Ford stared at the four koopas, the one questioning his "costume", had an orange shell, covered in stickers, and wearing an orange bandana mask and a belt. The other three were painted and wore outfits similarly to the first one. Wendy, wearing a werewolf getup, called them teenage mutant ninja turtles or something. But they didn't look any different from the other koopa bots that he has seen, what makes these ones keeping them off the bridge special?

As Dipper made his way onto the bridge, he caught his four girls following to watch what was going on, and Candy and Grenda got the impression that Wendy had an army to stop Dipper and take back the town. Though the town was in pretty good hands with Dipper running things. They honestly had no real reason to fight Dipper after everything they witnessed, other than the boy murdering Preston, but everyone hated the man, so not many really cared. But he was doing something with the woods and the denizens within, just for his own amusement, that should be stopped.

Maybe if they talked with them, they would just let the creatures go?

Ford stepped forward as he yelled at Dipper. "Alright, I have no idea what is wrong with you young man, but stop all this nonsense and return the town back to normal."

Dipper looked at Wendy. "Is this seriously your plan hero? Bring an army and beg me to stop?"

Wendy looked between Ford and the army. "It's his plan, I in all honesty just feel like kicking you in the balls for the monkey guy."

There was a couple manotaurs that chanted for a fight with turtle-aur. Ford groaned as he stepped forward. "Fine, if you won't listen to reason, than we will be forced to handle you with force."

Everyone turned and just looked at Ford. The manotaurs were all chanting force, waiting for Ford to tell them to charge, having come to view him as their new leader-aur.

Dipper looked at Ford's army, looked at the man, looked back to the army, smirked at Ford. Dipper began to speak in the gruff kind of voice that the manotaurs were known to view as manly. "Do you know what I do to prove how manly I am, I jump into the moat here! That's right, I am so manly, I swim in lava! Who needs water, water is for wimpy little not mans! Real manly mans jump headfirst into lava!"

Ford almost mocked the boy for his stupidity, until all the manotaurs shouted about how manly he must be, jumping into the moat to prove how manly they are. Then there was one manotaur that looked at Ford. "I at first thought it was stupid, but everyone else is doing it, so I must as well."

And with that, there were no more manotaurs in Gravity Falls. Dipper wasn't smiling, he wasn't laughing, he was just disappointed. "That is why, I don't use the manotaurs as minions."

The girls watched as the Manotaurs jumped to their deaths, burnt within the lava. Pacifica and Mabel were confused how someone could be so stupid, Candy and Grenda were a bit horrified that Dipper sent the creatures to their death.

Ford glared at Dipper, the boy had foiled his plans and made him look a fool. Wendy didn't know whether to be shocked, or disappointed in the creatures. What kind of idiot jumps into lava to prove they were manly? Stan turned to his brother. "Do we get to say I told you so now, or later?"

Ford glared. "You didn't know that was going to happen, you all assumed my army would lose to his."

Stan rolled his eyes. "We said you would fail in some way, not that his army would kick your army's ass."

Ford was frustrated as he stared at Dipper, who just stared back looking rather bored. "If you are done, I have a party I must attend with my girls here, so begone. You're not even in costume."

Alex and Dana stepped forward, Dana shouting for him to wait. "Mason, please, tell me what is going on here. You spend a week or two from home and go crazy and take over the place, how did all this happen?"

Dipper looked between his parents. "Nothing happened, nothing changed. I just wanted to rule and take over this town as my own. Mabel chose to rule it along with me, instead of wishing to fight me. There is no one in this town, or in this world, or any other dimension out there, that can handle me. This is my game, your all just pawns for my amusement."

Ford glared as he rushed forward, reaching into his coat to pull out a magnet gun. Ford rolled to the right as Dipper went to kick him, Dipper had thought Ford planned to attack in a number of ways, but he had not thought about the usual way that Bowser was defeated.

Ford aimed at the mechanism to the drawbridge they were standing on. Causing the bridge to immediately be pulled in, happening so fast, Dipper and Ford both fell towards the lava moat. As Dipper fell, he flipped Ford the bird, Ford used his magnet gun to pull himself back up.

Ford was greeted by Stan punching him in the face. "What the hell Ford, why the hell did you do that!?"

Alex looked ready to join Stan in beating the man senseless as Ford stood back up. Dana was still crying at the edge where the bridge was, even as Grenda flipped the lever to bring the bridge back out. Grenda picked up Pacifica and Mabel as she carried them across the bridge, Candy walking not far behind.

Pacifica and Mabel were in a bit of shock over seeing Ford drop Dipper into lava. Pacifica was falling in love with him, and Mabel was his twin sister. Dipper has done a lot to look after her, protect her, and guide her to ensure she was happy and safe. Their parents were good parents, but Dipper had helped her be smart when she felt stupid, he taught her in ways that she learned things, instead of wanting to go to sleep like the school does.

Grenda was about to set the girls down, both being a little unresponsive, she turned to Candy. "I guess we succeeded in our mission to rescue Paz, so, we win?"

Grenda didn't sound happy to have won, especially when she felt Mabel squirm and shove the larger girl. "What do you mean you win? Were you two always against us from the very beginning?"

Pacifica was still crying as she answered. "Candy was spying on you, Grenda was supposed to be the muscle that busted through the obstacles in our way. Candy had changed her plan slightly when she believed we were safe, and decided to become a man on the inside, calling them to give them secrets. If I never threw this party, he wouldn't have been called out."

Pacifica started to cry more, sounding completely heartbroken. Mabel was sounding angry as she yelled at them, threatening them. Candy and Grenda did feel bad about all this, neither had expected Dipper to just be killed like that.

Grenda was surprised, as she took a single step off the bridge, she was electrocuted. Dropping both girls, Mabel stood up, grabbed both Pacifica and Candy, dragging them back towards the castle. Dana was about to get up and yell at her daughter. If it weren't for Mikey the party bot, shoving her away. The four guard bots were back to blocking their way in, this time with Grenda outside.

Mabel turned back. "I am not strong enough to force you around Grenda, so I can't punish you without Dipper's help." As Mabel showed them her face, she looked pissed. Candy and Pacifica looked like the grip she had on their arms actually hurt a bit.

Grenda was about to bust down the robots, Ford was actually pinned by Stan still, the magnet gun too far out of reach, the parents were shouting for her to listen to them, yelling at the robots as they prevented their entry. Grenda was forced back, seeing as they were generating an electric fence, and the only weapon the girl currently had was a metal gauntlet made to look like Barret's gun arm.

There was a loud splashing noise, before something slammed down onto the bridge. The sight of Dipper shaking off the lava, ignoring the bits that clung to his now bare chest. He had time to lava proof his pants but not his shirt? Yeah, he just wanted to show off how his muscles looked when he flexed off the lava. Which all the girls could see was hot.

Ford actually stared in shock and some fear as the boy stood up from a dip into lava. "Well, like I said, I am too manly to die in lava."

Ford glared actually gaining enough irritation that he shoved Stan off him and stood up. "That makes no logical sense, there is no known method that exist in the universe where that is possible."

Dipper scoffed. "It comes with infusing my DNA with that of dragons. How else do you think I can breathe fire?"

Everyone became a bit nervous at this point. Wendy now felt her lava axe was useless, though she figured she would have found out if she challenged him, Grenda was scared because she was no longer near her two friends, Mabel was sure to tell Dipper about their treachery, and Candy was still in his clutches. The adults that stood there in shock, just watched as Dipper turned to walk into his castle.

Just before any of them could shout at him, he yelled back. "Go, return to your homes and rethink your plans. You have soured my mood with this betrayal. I will not allow Grenda back into my ranks."

Dipper grabbed Pacifica's arm. "Mabel, I expect you to punish Candy here properly. I will be punishing Pacifica, but first. So, we don't waste a good party, let's rejoin. Their punishments can wait, and maybe be lessened if they behave."

Dipper snapped his fingers, which caused a koopa to come forward, providing the two with a couple collars. Which Dipper and Mabel placed on Pacifica and Candy. "These will make sure you stay within the castle, as well as allow us to know right where you are at all times. I have a costume to go put on. Enjoy the rest of the party girls."

Ford watched as the gates closed. "I completely failed. That boy is a monster and now, he and his sister have those two girls and are probably going to torture them. Good job Stanly, why did you tackle me like that? I could have done something before these stupid turtles got in the way."

Ford was silenced by Alex punching him this time. "Shut up! You dropped my son into lava, you brought a bunch of retards to battle a super genius that knew their weakness, and now I don't even know what to even think. My son apparently turned himself into a dragon, swims in lava, breathes fire, controls the town, sees us all as pawns, and… and… and…"

Alex was suddenly slapped by Dana. "Get ahold of yourself, we have to keep it together for our kids, for someone? What are we doing?"

Dana and Alex broke down, hugging each other as they cried, plopping down onto their knees. Stan suddenly stepped back, dodging a slap from Wendy. "What is your problem kid?"

Wendy shrugged. "Everyone else was hitting someone, I wanted to do it too. I don't want to step too close to Ford, he is too obsessed with my feet."

Stan groaned. "Fair enough."

Ford scoffed as he glared. "I don't see how you can joke at a time like this Stanley. This is serious here, we need to do something, I need to make a new plan. I can figure this out."

Ford looked about, other than the three parents, Wendy and Stan, there were just the four koopas. Ford went and grabbed his magnet gun, taking aim and shooting one of the robots, though it had no effect. Ford looked baffled, before shooting at the robot again, causing the robot to turn to the bot on his left. "Do you think he is going insane? He already tried that."

The orange one, Mikey, he believes, was the only one that responded in more than a robotic voice. It sounded more closely to what Wendy described as Michelangelo, from the turtle thing she mentioned. "Who are you?"

Grenda stepped over and nudged Wendy. "Did he forget I was in the castle before all you got here?"

Wendy shrugged, not knowing or caring anymore. Wendy could see the girl was nervous, possibly scared for Candy and Pacifica, probably hoping their punishment wasn't too bad.

They didn't know how long they waited there, the turtles stopping them from even getting on the bridge, But they stayed there long enough that people were leaving the party. Wendy wound up leaving with her family as they came by, getting the low down on how the party was, and she felt pissed off for Ford making her miss it. Apparently, Evil might take a holiday, but heroes weren't allowed to, because Ford was an asshole.

Her friends, minus Robbie, also mentioned a couple things when they caught up to her, Tambry even showed her a couple of pictures she took of the inside of the ballroom, not able to go anywhere else. Ford had tried to get in when the koopas retreated to the castle. Ford was getting tired of telling everyone it was just a mansion, he was beginning to believe they ignored him.

Ford then had to use his magnet gun to get him back across, because they refused to put the drawbridge back out for him. The walls weren't affected by his magnet gun somehow, so he failed to climb it. Ford was frustrated as he stormed back to the shack to regroup with everyone.

He was greeted by the same people he has dealt with before all this went down. His family glared at him; Priscilla was starting to ramble about what Dipper meant about punishing her daughter. This was all ford's fault for dropping Dipper into the lava moat.

Yeah, if the man hadn't done that, the girls wouldn't have tried to leave the castle, they still could have been their insiders. Wendy mentioned that Candy was playing double agent for her, while Grenda was her muscle for protection. What would happen without Grenda there to protect the two? What could two kids that were angels before this summer do to her little girl?

Ford grew tired of being glared at, so he told them he would be in his bunker coming up with another plan. Stan turned to Alex. "After tonight, I will give Wendy a call, and we will help her get ready. Forget about Ford, he is too obsessed with himself being right, and proving he can do this shit. Wendy has the best chance, and apparently knows more about what is going on than Ford. We will talk with her about it all in the morning.

Grenda was feeling the worse of the gang, believing she failed both her friends, leaving them in the clutches of Dipper and Mabel. She could only hope that they were as nice with punishments as they were with everything else. Dipper had claimed to love Pacifica, so he shouldn't hurt her too badly.

Mabel however, she looked absolutely desperate to keep them entertained and happy, possibly happy with her. She treated them like they were the most important people there, even when she spoke so highly od her brother. Most likely scenario, Mabel has had her friends ditch her before. That girl was so desperate to make sure they had fun and enjoyed their time with her. The poor girl needed to relax and calm down.

Mabel looked stressed out each time the girls left her room. The poor girl looked to have abandonment issues. How bad were the people in piedmont, that caused such a fun girl to become so scared of people never coming back to spend time with her? Mabel had become a friend, she had let them all have the most fun they ever had. But the girl almost came off as clingy, without being clingy.

Wendy had spent a bit of time with her friends, learning that Robbie was imprisoned for graffiti muffins, and screaming about explosions, which made Wendy laugh.

=-=-=-=-=-=End=-=-=-=-=-=

Alright, I need some advice. The punishments, I have some planned out, rough outline, and I can show them if you all want to see them.

So, give a review and tell me your thoughts on whether you want to view those, or you don't believe I am creative enough, and you would rather imagine how they go through just the couple hints I drop.

I will write them out in the next chapter depending on your guys' responses, I can allude to what they do, and you imagine how it could have gone, your imagination filling in the holes, Or I can give you all a scene. The punishments are sexual in nature, Dipper's being slightly vanilla now that I think about it.

Pacifica was just enabling them, while Candy spilled the beans about the hidden chests and fed them info they wouldn't have otherwise. So Candy is the double agent that needs punishment, while Pacifica has been a bad girl.
