Chapter 14: Boyz Crazy
It was just a normal day in the mystery shack. Dipper and Wendy were playing a game with the security camera where they would dub the footage when they heard squeals as Serena, Mabel and Marina all ran in squeeing.
"Oh man! Tonight's the night!" squeed Mabel.
"I know! Tonight's the night!" squeed Marina.
"I can't wait…" said Serena.
"What are you girls so excited for?" asked Wendy.
"Sev'real Timez is playing at the Gravity Falls Civic Center and Buffet." Said Mabel.
"Tonight's the night!" cheered Serena.
"I've been waiting forever!" said Marina.
"Sev'ral Timez? Isn't it that boy band that came out a decade too late?" asked Dipper.
"Quiet you!" said Marina.
"You know boy bands are fake right?" asked Dipper.
"I said quiet you!" said Marina glaring at him.
"No he's right…" said Wendy, "They're just a manufactured product of the bloated music industry."
"Oh come on Wendy I know about the mix tape." Teased Serena.
"Who told you about the mix tape?" asked Wendy.
(Flashback)
The girls were helping Lila clean up her house a bit.
"Thanks for helping me clean up a bit." Said Lila.
"No problem." Said Serena.
That was when Wendy walked by listening to an old walk man.
"Hey guys!" said Wendy and then went back to listening to her song and humming along.
"Is she listening to?" asked Marina.
"She has a mix tape." Said Lila.
"Huh… neat." Said Serena.
(End of Flashback)
Wendy was blushing bright red.
"Hey it's okay." Said Dipper, "I barrow Serena's CDs all the time."
That was when Grenda and Candy showed up.
"You girls ready to go wild?" asked Grenda.
They all went to the twins' room to get ready for the concert.
"So…" said Wendy as the two were left alone, "Is it true you sing Disco Girl?"
"Yeah…" sighed Dipper.
Up in the Twins' room they all got ready.
"Lip Balm or Lip Salve?" asked Mabel.
"Either or is good." Said Marina.
"Yeah! Go wild tonight is our night!" said Grenda.
"We'll find a way to meet them!" said Serena.
"Oh yeah!" cheered Marina.
"And they'll fall in love with us!" said Candy.
"Well why wouldn't they?" asked Grenda eating a jar of peanut butter.
Downstairs Lila and Riley entered the gift shop.
"Did you really tell them about the mix tape?" Wendy asked her sister.
"You listening to it in front of them." Said Lila, "I had no other choice!"
"You two not going to the concert are you?" asked Dipper.
"Not our style of music." Said Lila.
"Yeah." Said Riley.
"We just came here to hang out since there's nothing else to do." Said Lila.
That was when Robbie came into the gift shop.
Lila and Riley both glared at Robbie.
"Stand down." Sighed Wendy.
"He didn't come over to apologize." Said Riley.
"Hey I could ask out my girlfriend without you." Said Robbie.
"Ask me out?" asked Wendy.
"Yeah… Nate was planning to take his girlfriend to look out point." Said Robbie.
"You stood me up last night! And now you want you want to take me to look out point!" yelled Wendy.
"Come on… let's go." Said Lila.
She dragged Dipper and Riley to the living room of course they listened in.
"Look Robbie. I don't think this relationship is working out." Said Wendy.
"Yes!" cheered Dipper and hugged Waddles.
"I was kind of hoping to beat him up." Sighed Lila she looked at Riley, "Sorry…"
"Hey, I bet you would beat him up." Said Riley, "Especially after trying to beat up Dipper."
"Wait… before you do anything crazy listen to this." Said Robbie.
They continued to watch as Robbie took out an evil looking CD case.
"I wrote this just for you." Said Robbie.
He began to sing a song, as he did Riley began to getting a bad feeling.
When he was done with the song, Wendy had a slightly dazed look on her face before going back to normal.
"You know maybe I was being a little too hasty." Said Wendy who then kissed Robbie on the cheek.
Dipper was in shock while Lila and Riley narrowed their eyes, this reeked of Gravity Falls weirdness.
"Let me get my coat." Said Wendy.
Wendy went to get her coat while the three entered the gift shop to confront Robbie.
"Robbie, what did you just do?" asked Lila.
"It's called romance… or have you not seen it before." Said Robbie.
"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Lila.
Robbie blinked realizing that it probably wasn't a good idea to get into a fight with Lila.
"I have my coat!" said Wendy, "I can't believe you wrote that for me."
"I'm just that talented." Said Robbie.
The two of them left with Robbie giving a look to the three.
Once they were gone...
"Robbie's such a scumbag." Muttered Dipper.
"I know." Sighed Riley examined the CD that Robbie left.
"Getting anything?" asked Lila.
"I'm sensing something from the CD but it's very faint…" sighed Riley, "Defiantly something evil about it."
"What's going on." Said Mabel.
"Robbie probably hypnotized Wendy with an evil CD." Said Dipper.
"Are you sure it's not because he's a musician?" asked Mabel.
"Nope, definitely something evil about the CD." Said Riley.
"Okay that sounds fair." Said Serena.
"No it doesn't." said Grenda.
"She's psychic remember." Said Marina.
"Oh right." Said Grenda.
And so they headed to the Gravity Falls Civic Center and Buffet.
"You girls ready for your boy band scream?" asked Mabel.
All of the girls practiced.
And soon enoguh they went to the ticket booth.
"5 tickets for the concert!" said Mabel.
"Sorry girls! Sold out!" said the ticket seller.
They all looked around and saw sold out signs.
"Nooooo!" yelled Serena.
"The night is ruined!" said Grenda.
"everything is ruined forever!" yelled Marina falling face first into the ground.
That was when Amelia and Old Man McGucket showed up.
"What's wrong?" asked Amelia.
"The shows sold out." Said Serena.
"I thought this might happen, so I bought you all tickets when I bought mine and Grandpa's." said Amelia.
"Wait… you listen to Sev'ral Timez?" asked Mabel.
"I love them boy band!" said Old Man McGucket.
Amelia handed them all the ticket.
"Thank you so much!" said Mabel.
"You're a true friend!" said Serena hugging her.
Marina was kissing her ticket but then realized something.
The ticket was gold.
As did the others.
"That's weird." Said Serena.
"Since when are the tickets gold?" asked Candy.
"I've heard of this…" whispered Marina, "There's a legend. A legend that states the first hundred people to join the Sev'ral Timez fan club have special privileges. Including buying special golden tickets that also act as backstage passes… No one's ever been confirmed if it's true or not… after all only a 100 out of the thousands of members of the fan club… it can't be real… right?"
Amelia was blushing bright red, causing the other girls to stare at her.
"Amelia…" said Serena.
"It's not like that at all." Said Amelia.
She took out her Sev'ral Timez fan club card.
"I'm only member 25." Said Amelia.
They all stared at Amelia.
" "Only 25"?" asked Candy.
"That's still in the first 100." Said Serena.
"No way… that means… Amelia's a bigger Sev'ral Timez fan than me! I've been bragging I was the biggest fan in all of Gravity Falls… and it's false…" said Marina, "I'm not the biggest fan in Gravity Falls… who am I…"
"Um… Marina shouldn't we get to our seats?" asked Amelia hoping to get her mind of that somehow life changing news…
"Oh yeah! Forgot!" said Marina immediately cheering up and realized what it meant, and started singing "I've got a golden ticket."
And was joined by Mabel.
They all headed to their seats, cheering from their special VIP seats.
However towards the end of the concert they made an announcement that caused all of the girls in audience to fight each other saying how the announcement was towards them.
They were good enoguh friends they didn't fight each other.
"Back stage?" asked Mabel.
"Back stage." Said Amelia.
"Go on without me!" said Old Man McGucket.
"are you sure Grandpa?" asked Amelia.
"I'm sure. I don't want to do something to embarrass you girls." Said Old Man McGucket who spat something out.
Back at the Mystery Shack, Dipper, Riley and Lila were trying to figure out what to do. Whole Stan was apocalypse prepping.
"What's got you three all worked up?" asked Stan.
"We think Robbie's brainwashing Wendy with music." Said Dipper.
Stan sighed, "I've seen this before."
They all looked at Stan surprise, he near compete and utter denial of anything strange that wasn't the Bottomless Pit had become rather famous.
"Really?" asked Dipper surprised.
"Her name was Carla McCorkle… Carla "Hot Pants" McCorkle." Said Stan.
He told the story of how a hippie hypnotized Carla, how her hot pants turned into bellbottoms right then and there and they flew away on a rainbow.
"It got a little halucinaty at the end, but you get the gist." Said Stan.
"So you'll help us." Said Dipper.
"The only idea we have so far is beating up until he confesses." Said Riley.
"It's not a very good plan." Sighed Lila.
"Of course, right after I finish this brown meat." Said Stan.
They all shrugged as Stan ate the brown meat.
Meanwhile at the Civic Center/Buffet, the girls headed to the backstage entrance, and showed the guards their tickets, he checked and found they were authentic and were let in.
They looked around the backstage trying to find the band's dressing room.
Which they did find.
All right! Girls are you ready to meet the band?" asked Mabel.
"I'll introduce you to them. "said Amelia.
"Wait you've been them before?" asked Serena.
"She's number 25." Remained Marina, "But course she's met them!"
They entered the dressing room and were horrified at what they saw.
The band was in a cage looked like a giant hamster cage. Near the wall in tanks were members of the band but in different stages of life.
"We're clones dawg." Said the member named Chubby Z.
They didn't know how to react.
"Someone's coming!" said Mabel.
They all hid figuring this was differently not something that should be scene.
A seedy looking man came in.
"Who's that?" asked Serena in a low voice.
"Their music producer." Explained AM ilea with a scowl, it was clear she met him as well.
The producer was tearing into them, even threating to replace them with one of the ones in the tank.
Once he was gone the girls felt out of their hiding place.
"Who goes there!" yelled Deep Chris, "Prepare to be danced at."
"Don't worry, it's just me and my friends." Said Amelia.
All five them recognized Amelia.
"Oh hey Amelia girl!" said Leggy P.
"We didn't know you were here." Said Creggy Z.
"Sorry… I didn't know it was you and some other ladies." Said Deep Chris.
"What sort of benefits do you get?" asked Serena.
"Oh not much…" said Amelia blushing.
"I wonder why Mr. Bratzman didn't let us out of our cage if Amelia was here?" asked Deep Chris.
I don't know…" said Leggy P, "He usually let's us out of cage if a Gold Member is here."
"I guess he didn't hear." Said Chubby Z.
"So wait… you're in the cage all the time?" asked Serena.
"So what's going on then?" asked Amelia.
"Well the truth is Mr. Bratzman genetically engendered us to be the perfect boy band." Said Creggy G.
Amelia was shocked.
"But he keeps us in cages most of the time, and it's straight up brutal." Said Chubby Z.
"That is strait up brutal." Said Mabel.
"Our dream is to be set free and escape into the real world." Said Creggy G, "I heard about these things called trees I don't know what they are but I want to make out with one."
"I don't think that's a good idea." Said Amelia.
"But we can't disobey Mr. Bratzman, he says he loves us." Said Greggy C.
"If he loved you he wouldn't be keeping you inside these cages." Said Amelia.
The boy band agreed with this.
"All right! We're getting you out of here!" said Mabel taking charge.
All of the girls agreed, even Amelia.
"We'll help you escape!" said Serena.
"We're master of stealth!" yelled Grenda.
"You'll do that for us beef?" asked Chubby Z.
"Oh yeah…" said Mable as she began to pick the lock, "Wait did you call me beef?"
Back at the Mystery Shack, Stan was explain what he knew about that stuff.
"All right, what we're probably dealing with is subliminal messages they insert into music." Explained Stan, "I use them all the time to get people to buy stuff."
Actually what he used was Super Liminal… There's a huge difference… probably best not to get into it.
"Now in order to hear the message we got to slow down the LP." Said Stan he took the CD from Dipper, "Give me that…"
He put the CD on a record player the three cringed sparks came from the CD.
"We're doing something wrong." Said Stan, "But I can't put my finger on it."
That was when they heard some groaning from the entranced. Dipper, Lila and Riley decided to check what it was.
The ones that went to the convert were trying to get a very large duffle bag through the door.
"Is everything all right?" asked Lila.
"How was the concert." Said Dipper.
"Life changing." Said Marina, "Turns out I'm not the biggest fan in town…"
"What's with bag?" asked Dipper.
"It's filled with stuff…" said Serena, "Stuff we bought…"
"Yes… just a lot of stuff we bought…" said Mabel.
"Nothing important." Said Amelia.
"That's right!" said Candy.
That was when the bag sneezed.
The ones that were at the concert all looked at each other and all said at the same time "Later!"
And dragged the duffle bag upstairs.
"Should we do something?" asked Lila.
"Amelia's involved so I'm sure it will be fine." Said Riley.
"Better not get involved." Sighed Dipper agreeing with Riley.
They took the boy band to the Twins' room. The boy band marveled at the site.
"Mabel Girl, you're Tour Bus is strange." Said Leggy P.
"You, what up girl!" Deep Chris to Waddles.
The girls all giggled at the boy band, expect for Amelia who new they had to do something with them.
"So when do we get to go outside?" asked Creggy G.
"I want to cavort like a woodland creature!" said Chubby Z.
That was when they heard a car outside. They looked outside and Mr. Bratzman who followed them there thanks to some clues.
However he talked it over with Soos who of course knew nothing only annoyed him.
However he didn't notice Gompers the Goat eat his license plate.
He drove away and they realized they still weren't safe.
"What do we do?" asked Chubby Z.
"Aw! Dang!" said Deep Chris.
"I'm scared." Said Greggy C.
"Don't worry… he'll give up eventually. In the mean time you can stay here." Said Mabel.
The boy band began to cheer.
Mabel pulled aside the other girls.
"Girls do you realize what we have right now? We have our very pet boy band we can do anything we want to with!" said Mabel.
"Mabel… that's a horrible thing to say." Said Amelia, "We have to find a way to free them without putting them in danger."
"She's right." Said Candy. "So we have to promise not to get too attached. Right Mabel…"
That was when they noticed Mabel was getting her hair braided by the boy band.
"Hop aboard the braid train!" said Mabel.
The other five girls looked at each other.
And so they had Sev'ral Timez as sort of pets, having fun with them, racing, playing games.
Amelia taught them a few things, like drinking water. But wasn't sure how to teach them how to use the bathroom.
Of course they had to keep it was a secret from Stan.
But it seemed like Mabel was getting attached to them…
Back with the Dipper, Lila, Riley and Stan.
"All right I spent all day converting the cd into a record." Said Dipper.
"That's actually an impressive skill." Said Riley with a smirk.
"Spit take here I come." Said Stan taking a sip of diet cola.
However when Dipper slowed down the record and tried to record it there was nothing.
"Seriously?" asked Lila.
"That's not spit take worthy." Said Stan.
Dipper messed with the speed but nothing.
"Maybe he just likes the song." Sighed Dipper.
"I'm still sensing evil from the record." Said Riley, "So there is something to the song…"
"There's probably another way." Said Lila.
But before she could say it, Wendy and Robbie came in.
"Hey Dip, forgot my keys." Said Wendy she was somewhat surprised to see her sister and Riley hanging out with Dipper but brushed it off.
When Wendy was out of the room.
"What are you trying to do? Find an equation to make girls like you?" asked Robbie.
"Actually he was showing us to convert a CD to a record." Said Riley.
"So what?" asked Robbie.
"Records are making a come back Robbie, it sounds like a skill any band would want to have." Teased Riley.
Robbie blushed with embarrassment.
"Ready to g to look out point?" asked Wendy.
"Am I?" asked Robbie, he turned to the group trying to figure out the truth, "Catch you on the rewind."
When they were gone, Dipper realized something.
"Catch you on the rewind." Said Dipper, "That's it."
He started playing the record in reverse.
"You are under my control, your mind is mind." Said the voice on the record.
Stan did a spit take on Riley.
"Now there your spit take." Said Stan.
"I know it! It was mind control after!" said Dipper unaware that behind Lila had grabbed the tape record of the background message.
Then the two girls left without Dipper noticing.
"Oh man we have to save Wendy!" yelled Dipper.
"Yeah… Lila already left without you." Said Stan.
Dipper finally noticed they were gone.
"What!" said Dipper, "Why didn't they tell me."
"Listen this isn't the first time Lila beat up someone because they hurt Wendy…" said Stan, "Since Riley's involved whatever is going to happen isn't going to be pretty. All we have to do is wait and see how beaten up he is tomorrow in the newspaper."
Dipper stared at his uncle.
"Do… do I want to know?" asked Dipper.
"Probably for the best if you don't…" said Stan./
Dipper wasn't sure if he wanted to know…
Back in the living room the girls were watching TV expect for Mabel and Amelia.
"Have you figured out what to do?" asked Marina to Candy.
"Not yet…" said Candy.
That was when Mabel and Amelia came down.
"They're finally asleep." Sighed Mabel.
"Did something happen?" asked Serena.
"Greggy C tried to eat a tape dispenser." Said Amelia, "Find anything to do yet?"
"Not yet." Said Candy.
"Can't we just release them into the forest?" asked Mabel.
"We're dealing with a cloned boy band, not a baby bird." Said Marina.
"They won't survive a week." Said Candy.
"Who knows maybe life will find a way." Said Mabel.
Marina shuddered.
"What's wrong?" asked Serena.
"Sorry… I just can't stand Jurassic Park." Said Marina.
Everyone shrugged it off.
That was when the news started reporting on Mr. Bratzman, turned out he was arrested for not having a rear licensee plate.
"Yes! They're free now"! said Candy.
"We can tell the boys." Said Serena.
"Do we have to?" asked Mabel, "I mean… what if we don't tell them… after we don't want to release them into the forest!"
"Mabel are getting too attached to them?" asked Amelia.
"I'm not getting too attached them!" said Mabel, "I'm going to go check on them!"
She ran upstairs to check on them.
"We have to find a way to let them go that's safe." Said Serena.
"I think we have to tell someone." Said Amelia, "And adult…"
"I think I know who we should tell…" said Serena.
A few minutes later.
"You're keeping a what in the attic?" asked Hotaru who then face palmed.
"A cloned by band." Said Serena.
"Please don't ask me to take them in…" said Hotaru, "I already have my hands full with Garrick and Blaine."
"Don't worry we're not asking you take in clones again." Said Serena.
"Wait again?" asked Grenda.
"We just need help about how to free them without releasing them into the wild." Said Amelia.
"You were thinking of relapsing them into the wild?" asked Hotaru.
"We didn't have any good ideas." Sighed Serena.
Hotaru began to think.
"Maybe I can ask one of my aunts." Said Hotaru, "She's in the music business after all."
"Isn't she a violinist?" asked Serena.
"Aunt Michiru collaborates with many different artists." Said Hotaru she took out her phone and played a recent one with a rock band.
"Do you think she might be able to help?" asked Serena.
"Maybe…" said Hotaru.
Hotaru checked her phone and saw the times.
"It's good time to call." Said Hotaru.
She took out her cellphone and picked out a number.
"(Hello." Responded the person on the other end.
"(Hi Aunt Michiru… this is going to sound crazy but I need your help with something)." Said Hotaru somewhat nervously.
"(What's wrong?)" asked Michiru on the other end.
"(Well you see, Serena and the other girls… discovered that their favorite band are a bunch of clones and since you're in the music business you might be able to help with this… They want to free them, but the only idea they have is to release them into the woods.)" said Hotaru.
She heard Michiru take a breach on the other end.
"(All right, I'll talk to some people… I'm sure I can get the number for the Unitized States arm of the Pop Clone Rehabilitation Center…)" said Michiru on the other end.
"(What…)" said Hotaru confused.
"(The thing is a lot of idols here are unfortunately genetically modified, created to be the perfect idol, I heard it was a fairly common practice in the united states as well and gaining steam in South Korea.)" explained Michiru on the other end, "(But it's also very frowned upon due to the abuse the idols go though… I've stumbled upon it a couple times.)"
"(Aunt Michiru… you're not messing with me are you)" asked Hotaru.
"(No I'm not.)" responded Michiru.
Hotaru breathed a sigh of relief.
"(I'll call you back later)." Said Michiru.
"(Thank you so much!)" said Hotaru.
"So does she have any ideas?" asked Serena.
"She's going to contact the Pop Clone Rehabilitation Center." Sighed Hotaru figuring out the translation.
"Oh that's good." Said Serena then she realized what Hotaru just said, "Wait… what?"
meanwhile Robbie was driving to look out point with Wendy looking out the window.
That was when he his phone rang.
"Hello?" answered Robbie.
"Hey Robbie… I just wanted to let you know, I know the truth about the song." Said Riley.
Robbie eyes widened and hung up the phone.
"Is something wrong?" asked Wendy.
"Nothing much…" said Robbie.
His phone rang again.
He picked it up.
"Hello." He answered hoping it wasn't Riley.
"Hey Robbie it's me." Said Lila on the other end, "I also know the truth about that song…"
Robbie hung up the phone, dropped it and tightly clung to the wheel.
He realized he was going to die…
Back at the Mystery Shack they went to Twins' room where Mabel was once again on board the braid train.
She noticed Hotaru was with them.
"You told Hotaru." Said Mabel.
"Oh who's this girl?" asked Deep Chris.
"I'm Hotaru Tomoe." Said Hotaru blushing n a little.
"Hotaru." Said Amelia.
"We had to get some help…" said Serena.
"I called my aunt and she told me that this is a common situation." Explained Hotaru, "She called the Pop Clone Rehabilitation Center. This they can get the help they need."
"This way even if Mr. Bratzman does get out they'll be safe." Said Amelia.
"Really Amelia?" asked Deep Chris.
"It's true." Said Hotaru, "My aunt is a world renowned violinist… and apparently it's common to clone idols in Japan… and the US… and Korea…"
"Seriously?" asked Candy.
"They're lying! They're just making things up!" said Mabel.
"Mabel did give us pizza." Said Deep Chris.
"And changed our newspaper." Said Greggy C.
"You've been using newspaper?" asked Hotaru.
"But Amilea did bring us cookies the first time she met us." Said Chubby Z.
"Not to mention she's been helping us learn things." Said Creggy G.
"And she read us that story to help us sleep." Said Leggy P.
That was when Hotaru got a call on her phone and saw it was an American number.
"Hello?" answered Hotaru.
"Hello this is the Pop Clone Rehabilitation Center." Said the woman on the other end, "I heard from Michiru Kaio that you have a boy band that was cloned?"
"Yes it's true. Sev'ral Timez." Said Hotaru.
"You have Sev'ral Timez?" asked the woman on the other end who sounded very reveled, "There have been several rumors about them being clones, but no conclusive leads. "
"It's true, my friends found them while backstage." Said Hotaru.
"What did they sneak backstage?" asked the woman on the other end.
"No apparently one of them has a gold membership card to the fan club…" said Hotaru.
"So the legends are true." Said the woman on the other end gasping in shock.
"Um…" said Hotaru.
"Oh yes…" said the woman on the other end, "Where are they?"
"618 Gopher Road, Gravity Falls Oregon." Said Hotaru.
"All right, we'll be over tomorrow." Said the woman on the other end.
"All right, thank you so much." Said Hotaru.
She hung up the phone.
"They're coming over tomorrow to pick you up." Said Hotaru.
Mabel began to tear up and run out of the room.
"Mabel girl, what's wrong?" called out Leggy P.
"I'll go talk to her." Sighed Serena.
Meanwhile at look out point Robbie was shaking, still gripping the steering wheel while shaking.
"Robbie are you okay?" asked Wendy, "You're sweating an awful lot."
"I'm fine! Totally fine! Completely fine!" said Robbie, "Just please ask my parents to not be cheery it comes to it."
"What?" asked Wendy.
That was when the drivers side door opened and he was forced out of the van.
"Eep…" was all Robbie could say.
Back at the Mystery Shack Mabel was crying on the porch.
Dipper saw her.
"Hey are you okay?" asked Dipper.
"It's just… it's just…" cried Mabel, "I've been keeping a boy band up in our room."
"Wait… what?" asked Dipper.
"And now they're being taken away." Cried Mabel.
"Okay you need to back up." Said Dipper.
"Mabel…" said Serena.
She sat own next to her and hugged her.
"I'm sorry, but they can't stay here." Said Serena.
"But I love them!" cried Mabel.
"Yeah, but they need to be free…" said Serena, "In a way that doesn't involve setting them into the woods."
"Why does it have to be this way…" cried Mabel.
Serena began to pat her head.
""It's okay, it's okay…" assured Serena.
Amelia came down.
"Hey Mabel, Sev'ral Timez wants to see you." Said Amilea.
"Okay…" said Mabel sniffling.
She went up stairs and saw them with Serena, Amelia and Dipper.
"Hey Mabel… there's a song we wrote to say thank you." Said Creggy C.
"Hit it." Aid Greggy C.
They sang a song telling her how they were going to miss her and stuff like that…
(The author while a boy band fan in her youth isn't interested in listing to boy band music to write a song like that so just re-work Mabel-Girl into such a song).
When it was over, Mabel was crying and hugged them all.
The other girls joined in the hug, all of them going opt miss the boy band as well.
"So how have you been?" asked Hotaru looking at Dipper.
"Found out Robbie used Mind Control on Wendy…" sad dipper, "I think Lila went to kill him…"
Hotaru cringed having heard stories about Wendy's past boyfriends who broke her heart.
Back outside Robbie's van.
"Not the face!" he yelled.
Lila punched a couple times. Then Riley tapped her shoulder and she stopped.
"You're disgusting." Muttered Riley, "What you did… I didn't even think you could do such a thing…"
Riley then started punching him in the gut.
"How did you did so good at punching?" asked Robbie then remember her new punching bag, "Wait… never mind…"
"What are you doing?" asked Wendy getting out of the van.
"Robbie brainwashed you into staying with him." said Lila.
"What?" asked Wendy.
Lila took out the tape recorder and played it, thankfully they knew to cue it up so it would play when they played it.
Wendy was horrified.
Robbie looked a bit shocked.
"Lila…" said Wendy.
"With pleasure.." said Lila.
"Wait! PLEASE LISTEN TO ME!" yelled Robbie, "I ripped off the song from another band… I didn't write it… please believe me! PLEASE!"
He then rolled into a ball to protect his kingies.
Riley looked at Robbie and sighed.
She knew her brother well.
"You honestly didn't know about it… did you?" asked Riley.
"No… I didn't…" cried Robbie.
"He's telling the truth…" said Riley.
"I don't care about the messages." Said Wendy.
She looked like she was on the verge of crying however.
"I thought it was very sweet that you wrote a song for me. But you're nothing but a big liar." Cried Wendy.
"Look I'm sorry." Said Robbie, "I know I lied about that… and using your make up and the thing with the bear."
However Lila kicked him in the face.
"You don't' get to talk." Said Lila, "Wait is okay if I still beat him up?"
Wendy nodded.
"We're through Robbie." Said Wendy glaring at him.
Riley wrapped her arm around Wendy.
"Come on, I think the ice cream place is still open." Said Riley, "I'll treat you to the usual."
"Thanks Riley." Said Wendy.
Robbie looked at Lila.
"I'm not as mad as earlier… but it was still a scummy thing to do…" said Lila as she sent some texts to Dipper.
Robbie once again curled into a ball.
Back at the Mystery Shack.
Dipper decided to stay away from the whole Boy Band situation up stairs.
That was when he got the texts from Lila.
"Beating Robbie up." Was the first one.
"Turns out he just stole the song and didn't know about the mind control." Was the second one.
"By the way don't make a move right away." Was the third.
"Girls hate it when guys do that" was the fourth.
Dipper blinked.
"Well it seems like they're broken up." Said Dipper, "Though Lila says I shouldn't make a move a right away whatever that means."
"That's good advice…" said Stan, "I've tried that a couple times… all I've gotten a plenty of drinks thrown in my face."
Dipper sighed, and decided it would probably be best to leave Wendy alone for the time being.
Especially from what he gathered about Lila.
At the Ice Cream shop Wendy was eating a large sundae.
"Thanks so much Riley." Said Wendy.
"Hey this isn't' the first time I did this." Said Riley.
"But Robbie's your brother…" said Wendy.
"Yeah… and he's a jerk." Said Riley, "I mean come on, he stole a song and claimed it as his own…"
"Yeah…" sighed Wendy.
Lila came in and waved at the clerk who nodded and tossed her an ice pack.
"Hey…" said Wendy, "I was wondering something."
"What?" asked Lila.
"This doesn't seem like something you would figure out on your own." Said Wendy.
"What?" asked Lila.
"Spill, you had help didn't you?" asked Wendy.
"Yeah… it was Dipper." Said Lila.
"Why wasn't he there?" asked Wendy.
"Because we king od ditched him." said Lila.
"Seriously?" asked Wendy.
"You know about the crush don't you?" asked Lila.
"I do." Sighed Wendy.
"It's so obvious." Sighed Riley.
Yeah…" sighed Wendy.
"Look I gave him advice just in case he tries to make a move." Sighed Lila.
"thanks…" sighed Wendy.
A teen-aged boy entered the ice cream shop then turned around when he saw Wendy with a sundae and Lila using the ice pack on her hand.
"I think you're post break-up ritual is becoming infamous as well." Said Riley.
"Yeah…" said Lila.
"Seems that way." Said Wendy.
The next morning, the girls waited for the Pop Clone Rehabilitation Center.
That was when a van showed up and a woman came out.
"Hello my name is Crystal Martin, I will be their new manger." Said the woman.
"Will you take good care of them?" asked Mabel.
"Of course…" said Crystal, "We will teach them how to function properly in society while easing them out of the world of Celebrity. They will relapse albums and perform but it's only so that they could ease in the real world. In a few years they will have the choice to what they want in life."
They had another group hug.
"Stay safe…" said Mabel.
"Have a good life." Said Serena.
"Um…" said Marina, "Are you going to honor the ways to the fan club with the gold card thing?"
"Yes, in order to keep everything a secret." Said Crystal.
Mabel looked at Amilea who sighed.
"Okay…" sighed Amelia.
"This isn't goodbye." Said Mabel realizing that they would see each other again, "We'll meet again Mabel girl."
"Are you ready to go… or would you like to explore the woods for a bit?" asked Crystal to the boy band, "After all I'm sure you've never been outside."
"Explore for a bit!" cheered the boy band.
Crystal sighed.
"I hate when they choose to explore." She said.
She saw that Greggy C was making out with a tree.
"Greggy C! That's not what tree is for!" said Crystal.
"Um… Crystal, what is that that big, round bright fool up in the sky?" asked Chubby Z.
"That's the sun." said Crystal.
"It's hurting my eyes! I'm, going to stare him down." Said Chubby Z.
"Don't stare into the sun." said Crystal.
"This… this is really sad." Said Candy.
"At least their getting the help that they need." Said Hotaru.
"You think they'll be able to live in the real world?" asked Mabel.
"Deep Chris! Put that down!" said Crystal as he holding a skunk and signing to it.
"I really hope so…" said Serena.
And so the boy band was sent to the Pop Clone Rehabilitation Center where hopefully they would learn to live in the real world…
At least it was better than living out in the woods… it would have been a miracle if they survived.
