Gamelover41592: Thanks, there is more to come.
Njistar: Yup, planned on flashbacks to explain in the next chapter.
Warning: I do not own these shows such as Danny Phantom & Gravity Falls. Fictional events that I make are mine.
"I'm afraid your services won't be required here sir," the constable said to Duck-tective. "My men have examined the evidence and this is obviously an accident."
Duck-tective started quacking, and the subtitles said, "An accident, constable? Or is it… Murder?!"
"What?!" The constable said, then they went to commercial.
It's been a day after the gobblewonker incident, and currently the Pines twins were sitting in the living room of the Shack watching a crime investigation show with their cousin Danny. While the twins decided to sit on the floor, Danny opted to take the available couch. He and Dipper were sharing a bowl of popcorn, and Dipper had to smack his twin sister's hand away a few times when she reached for it while knitting. The crime investigation show took a duck, and put him in the shoes of Sherlock Holmes. Taking away the helpful assistant John Watson and leaving the duck to solve the crimes on his own. As said duck announces the crime to be murder, Mabel drops the knitting, and goes wide-eyed while putting her hands up to her cheeks.
"That duck is a genius." She announces breathlessly, only for Danny to scoff, and Dipper to cross his arms.
"Eh. It's easier to find clues when you're that close to the ground." He tells Mabel, Danny nodding in agreement.
"Are you saying you could outwit Duck-Tective?" Mabel asks her twin brother skeptically with squinted eyes.
"Mabel, I have very keen powers of observation. For example, just by smelling your breath, I can tell that you've been eating…" He pauses to take a sniff, before raising an eyebrow. "An entire tube of toothpaste?" He asks, Mabel turning away to hide the sparkling lips while Danny goes wide-eyed and turns towards Mabel in alarm due to the fact that what she did was a high health risk.
"It was so sparkly." She admits as her voice sounds like she has a stomach ache. Which, since she ate a tube of toothpaste, wouldn't be surprising. Suddenly, the twins are distracted by a shout down the hall.
"Hey dudes!" The twins turn to the doorway to see Soos skid into view holding a broom in one hand. "You'll never guess what I found." He announces.
"Buried treasure!" Dipper shouts out, raising his hands into the air.
"Buried- Hey! I was gonna say that." Mabel tells her brother with a smile before shoving him playfully.
"No way. Even better!" Soos announces. "Come on." He tells them, waving for them to follow as he walks down the hall. The twins jump up and follow after Soos, neither noticing Danny get up to follow them.
Danny then notices that the group is now in a darkened hallway that has rips and tears in the wallpaper. One of which has a doorknob sticking out of it. "So I was cleaning up here right, when I suddenly found this door. Hidden behind the wallpaper." Soos tells them, pointing toward the doorknob. "It's crazy bonkers creepy." He tells them, before pushing the door open. Behind it, is a room that's filled to the brim with a whole group of…
"Woah, it's a secret wax museum." Dipper comments, shining a flashlight that he had in his vest around the room.
"They're so life-like." Mabel comments, before Dipper finds a figure next to a wax figurine of the Queen of England.
"Except for this one." Dipper says, pointing to it.
"Hello." Greets the supposed lifeless wax figure.
"Ahhh!" Soos and the twins shout out in surprise and fright.
"Hehe, it's just me. Your Grunkle Stan." Stan greets, only for the trio to shout out in fear once again and run to the opposite end of the room. Leaving Danny standing there to smirk at their reactions.
"Behold the Gravity Falls Wax Museum. It was one of our most popular attractions… Before I forgot all about it that is. I've got 'em all." Stan announces to the occupants in the room, before walking forwards and pointing out some of them. "Ganges Khan, Sherlock Holmes, some kind of… I don't know, goblin man?" Stan says, stopping in front of one holding a mike.
"Larry King." Danny inputs.
"Yeah, him." Stan says, pointing at Danny in agreement.
"Ew, is anyone else getting the creeps here?" Dipper asks after shivering a bit. Nobody responds.
"And now my personal favorite, wax Abraham Lincoln." Stan says, waving his hands to show what used to be a wax figure, but is now just a puddle of black wax. Though the four looking can still make out the hat and boots of what used to be Lincoln. "Right over- Oh, oh! Oh no! Come on! Who left the blinds open?!" Stan exclaims, referencing the open window shining light onto where the wax puddle is, before getting down on one knee next to said puddle. "Wax John Wilks Booth I'm looking in your direction." Stan says with a glare while pointing at the wax figure mentioned, before turning back to what was once a glorified wax figure of Abraham Lincoln with a sigh. "How do you fix a wax figure?" Stan asks, rubbing a finger along the melted wax, and stretching it between his fingers.
"Cheer up Grunkle Stan. Where's that smile?" Mabel asks as she walks over to stand next to her Grunkle.
"Eh." Grunkle Stan grunts in reply with a slight frown.
"Beep, bop, boop." Mabel says as she pokes him on the cheek, nose, and eye respectively.
"Ow." Stan says, squinting the eye that Mabel poked in pain before pushing himself back to his feet.
"Don't worry, Grunkle Stan. I'll make you a new wax figure out of all this old wax." Mabel tells him with a smile.
"You really think you could make one of these puppies?" Her Grunkle asks skeptically.
"Grunkle Stan, I'm an arts and crafts master. Why do you think I always have this glue gun stuck to my arm?" Mabel asks, showing the arm in question as proof.
"Because you can't get it off?" Her cousin asks with a teasing smile as Mabel tries, and fails, to shake the glue gun free.
"I like your gumption kid." Stan says with a smirk.
"I don't know what that word means, but thank you." Mabel replies with a smile. After everyone's exited the room, with Danny staying behind a few more seconds than the rest to send an accusatory glance back into it, they all head off in different directions. Stan to get changed into his formal attire, Soos to go be… Soos, the twins to get ready to make the new wax figurine, and Danny to go do… No one was really sure what he was going to do actually. He just said that he'd be back within the hour. Dipper was a little suspicious, but decided to put it off to the side in favor of helping Mabel with the wax figurine.
When Danny returns to the Shack, Soos can be seen setting up a banner that reads "Wax Museum of Mystery Grand Re-Opening!" on the road leading to the Mystery Shack. He walks over to where Stan has set up multiple wax figures behind a podium, while the one that Mabel had made that was covered by a tarp. Danny gives a smile to Mabel when he sees what it is, before talking to his Grunkle. Later, a line of people can be seen in front of a table to pay admission that Wendy and Danny are sitting behind, while others can be seen sitting in chairs in front of the stage/porch.
"Heh, I can't believe my Grunkle got this many people to show up." Danny admits with a smile. Over the couple months that Danny had spent at the Mystery Shack before Dipper and Mabel showed up, he'd grown close to Wendy, Soos, and even Stan. But only slightly. However, he had grown especially close to Wendy. Most people back in Amity Park might have assumed that he had a thing for Sam. However, that was not the case. Instead, the two had a brother-sister relationship. But here in Gravity Falls with Wendy… Well, he'd be lying if he said that he didn't find her attractive.
"I know right? Your uncle probably bribed 'em or something." Wendy agrees. Danny smirks as he pulls a twenty out of a pouch on the inside of his black jacket.
"He bribed me." He tells her. She responds by taking a twenty of her own out of her plaid button-up sweater. The two share a chuckle as the last of the people in line pay admission, before Soos starts playing keys on an electric piano to signify that the unveiling of Mabel's wax figure was about to happen. After this, Stan steps up to the podium and begins to talk about how he brings the people of Gravity Falls "Novelties and Befuddlements." However, Danny and Wendy have to hold back laughs as he tells the ladies in the crowd to "control themselves" after announcing who he is, only for no ladies to speak up. At all. Finally, he stops to step towards the tarp covered wax figure.
"But enough about me. Behold… Me!" Stan exclaims, completely contradicting himself, while pulling the tarp away to show a smiling Stan wax figure underneath. One arm extended giving the crowd a thumbs up, while the other rests on his hip. The entire figure glitters from the large amount of… Glitter, coating it. Soos plays a chord on the piano, before using the DJ setting to make it go "Yeah! Y-Y-Yeah!" Unfortunately, only two people in the crowd clap after the unveiling. After this happens, Stan hands the mike to Mabel, whom he dubs "Mabel-Angelo." She announces to the crowd how she made the wax figure, before taking questions. The first to ask a question is Old Man McGukins. He asks if the wax figures are alive, and if he'd be able to survive the wax man uprising.
"Umm… Yes." Mabel responds in slight confusion, before taking a question from Toby Determined.
Unfortunately, Stan cuts in calling Toby out on his "microphone" being a turkey baster. After that, Saundra Hemenez, a real reporter, asks Stan if the flyer was true when it says that with admission to the current event, free pizza would be involved. When she asks this, everyone starts to yell out similar things. Some even lifting pitchforks and pickaxes as if they were going to start a riot. Danny and Wendy share a frightful glance at this, as Stan stares out at the crowd with wide eyes.
"That was a typo." He tells them with a plain voice, before waving with a con-artist's smile. "Goodnight everyone!" He exclaims, throwing down a smoke pellet which explodes upon contact with the ground. Shielding his escape from the crowd's eyes, before he goes running by the admission table and grabs the box filled with money. As some of it goes flying out, Danny grabs the bills, before discretely handing a few of them to Wendy under the table, while stashing the rest in his jacket. Wendy smirks and takes them as Mabel and Dipper, who had been watching the spectacle from next to the other wax figures, walk over to stand next to the duo.
"I think that went well." Mabel says with a bright smile. Danny just facepalms at her statement, before getting up from the chair, and beginning to pack everything used for the event up to be put away. Wendy helps him out as Dipper and Mabel walk into the Shack to go do their own things. Once everything's been put away, Wendy bids Danny farewell, and goes off to her home. Danny walks inside, and immediately heads off to his room. The room that he slept in was actually a unique one. He had found it once a few days after moving in when Stan had him clean around the back of the shack. It was hidden behind a bookcase, cliché, and was actually quite nice. One of the first things that Danny did when he found and claimed the room was get rid of a shag carpet that covered the floor. It had given him a bad feeling, and after what he'd been through in his life, he'd learned to trust that feeling. Over the next couple months that followed finding the room, Danny had spent most of his free time cleaning it out, and making it more livable. He'd used some of the money that he made during his time working at the shack to buy the supplies he needed, before getting to work.
Now, the wooden walls and ceiling are painted a dark midnight blue, while the floor was covered by a rich black carpet that took place of the older, smaller, blue and yellow one. Danny kept the intrequently designed door, but changed it so that it was colored completely white. In fact, Danny had kept most of the furniture that was in the room as well. And just colored it so that it wouldn't clash with the ceiling, walls, or carpet. He'd also gone out and used money that came from an… Alternate source, to buy himself a queen sized bed, with crisp white pillows and sheets, while the blanket was black. He had to pay even more money to get the window on the right wall fixed as well. But all in all, it was a nice little space, and even had its own bathroom that Danny had taken and cleaned up so that it didn't look like the kind a convenient store would have.
He placed his dark blue and black plad shirt on the couch lining the right wall, before going into the bathroom to get ready to sleep. But not three minutes later, a yell could be heard from the living room. "No, no, nooooo!" Danny hears Stan yell out. He quickly runs out of his room, turns, and runs up the few stairs that separated "his" part of the house from the rest, and meets Dipper and Mabel on their way down the stairs from the attic. The trio rushes to the doorway of the living room, and look at their Grunkle, who's shaking like a leaf, expectantly. "Wax Stan. He's been, m-m-murdered!" He exclaims, pointing to the headless wax figure lying on the ground. The sound of a bell tolling can be heard ringing throughout the house, before Mabel faints into Dipper's arms.
Not long after, alternating red and blue flashes can be seen against the side of the shack, projected by the lights on a squad car parked outside. Inside the shack, the two police officers of Gravity Falls are standing in front of the Pines, and one Fenton. "I get up to use the john right? And when I come back, blamo! He's headless!" Stan exclaims, swinging his arm as if smashing something to get his point across.
"My expert handcrafting…besmirched. Besmirched!" Mabel exclaims in sorrow, kneeling beside the headless body of her wax figurine. Dipper puts a hand on her shoulder in comfort.
"Who would do something like this?" He asks, looking up at the officers.
"I can think of a good reason. And it involves the victim. In more ways than one." Danny mutters, but no one hears him.
"What's your opinion, Sheriff Blubs?" the tall and lanky of the two asks the shorter and fatter one.
"Look, we'd love to help you folks, but let's face the facts. This case is unsolvable." He announces, before taking a sip from his coffee.
"What?!" All three Pines shout out at once. "You take that back, Sheriff Blubs." Stan demands. Pointing a finger accusingly at the sheriff in question, while Danny just facepalms in the background.
"You're kidding, right? There must be evidence, motives. You know, I could help if you want." Dipper offers. Danny sends him a glance, already knowing what the officer's responses are going to be. But apparently Dipper doesn't. Nor does Mabel.
"He's really good. He figured out who was eating our tin cans." Mabel states with a small smile.
"All signs pointed to the goat." Dipper tells them. Apparently, Stan is completely with them as well.
"Yeah, yeah. Let the boy help. He's got a little brain up in his head." He says. The officers share a glance, and smirk in response.
"Oh, would you look at what we've got here? City boy thinks he's gonna solve a mystery with his fancy computer phone." Sheriff Blubs taunts.
"City booooy! City booooy!" His fellow officer bellows.
"You are adorable." Sheriff Blubs says to Dipper.
"Adorable?" Dipper asks, before the two officers start to laugh. Danny narrows his eyes when he sees this. Not exactly liking how the officers are treating his cousin.
"Look PJ's, how's about you leave the investigating to the grownups? Okay?" Sheriff Blubs asks him, holding out his hand for a high-five from his fellow officer, which he accepts. Just as Sheriff Blub's radio starts to speak, Danny walks out of the room.
"Attention all units. Steve is going to fit an entire cantaloupe in his mouth. Repeat, an entire cantaloupe!" It announces.
"It's a 23-16!" Sheriff Blub's fellow officer exclaims.
"Let's move." Sheriff Blubs declares, before turning around and starting to run off with his partner. But before the two can get very far, their pants suddenly drop down to their ankles, causing them to trip and fall. "Oof!" They exclaim, before looking to see what happened, and promptly blush a dark red. They quickly get up, pull their pants up so that they aren't hanging around their ankles, and continue to run to their squad car. When they finally drive away, the three Pines start to laugh at what just happened. Danny comes walking back into the room a few seconds later with a confused look on his face.
"Is there a reason that those two officers ran into their car holding their pants up with one hand?" He asks, getting another round of laughter from the Pines. Danny looks on in confusion for a second, before shrugging and walking back to his room. No one notices the smirk and satisfied look in his eyes as he leaves.
"I think this is entirely unnecessary," Danny commented dryly, watching Stan huff and puff as he tried to lift a coffin out of the trunk of the car. The halfa was watching with half-parts amusement, half-parts annoyance, and was making no effort at all to help his great uncle. Instead, he was lounging on the couch on the front porch, making faces at Stan and snickering at the older man's struggle.
"Your face is unnecessary," Stan retorted, and Danny mock-gasped, clutching at his heart with a pained expression.
"Oh, no! Your juvenile words! They wound me!" Danny exclaimed theatrically, and laughed when Stan flipped him off.
"Oh, hey, kids!" Stan called, noticing the twins walk by. "Give me a hand with this coffin, will ya? Since your cousin won't help!" Stan added, giving Danny the stink-eye through his glasses. Danny, in reply, gave a lazy wave. "I'm doing a memorial service for wax Stan," he said, turning his attention back to the twins and giving the pair a pained expression. "Something small, but classy."
"Sorry, Grunkle Stan, but we've got a big break in the case!" Dipper said with a determined fist pump.
"Break in the case!" Mabel echoed cheerfully.
"We're heading into town right now to interrogate the murderer," Dipper finished dramatically, and barely reacted when Mabel reached into his backpack to pull out a – whoa, whoa, whoa, Danny thought, bolting upright. Was that an axe?!
"We have an axe!" Mabel unwittingly confirmed, before she began to wave it around with sound effects. "Rhee, rhee, rhee!"
"Hmm," and to Danny's shock, Stan didn't seem all that worried! "Sounds like something a responsible parent wouldn't want you to do." He paused, before a broad grin stretched across his face. "Good thing I'm an uncle!" He posed dramatically, with one foot on the coffin, and bellowed, shaking a fist into the air, "AVENGE ME, KIDS!"
"Gruncle Stan!" Danny protested, shocked as the kids wandered off without a care, and Stan snorted.
"Don't worry, Casper, they'll be fine," Stan said. "The most dangerous thing we have in this town is that biker gang, and they wouldn't harm a pair of kids. And they're smart enough to use the axe responsibly." He paused, thinking for a moment, then added, "I hope."
"Still, it's the principle of the matter," Danny grumbled, slumping into his seat. He was so tired of his Gruncle's antics, but he was mostly worried for the twins.
It was only later that day that Danny only stopped worrying when the two returned later during the night a few minutes after the shack closed and Wendy had gone home. The two walked in with downcast expressions on their faces, before heading off towards the room that Stan was using for the tribute to wax Stan with Danny. As the trio sits down in chairs next to Soos, the real Stan walks up to a podium next to the casket that wax Stan is lying in.
"Kids, Danny, Soos… Lifeless wax figures. Thank you all for coming." Stan greets them in a sad tone while clasping his hands together. Soos takes the time to blow his nose in a tissue before Stan continues. "Some people might say it's wrong for a man to love a wax replica of himself." He continues. Suddenly, Soos jumps out of his chair and points at Stan.
"They're wrong!" He exclaims.
"Easy Soos." Stan tells him, putting his hands up before turning to face his wax counterpart. "Wax Stan, I hope you're picking pockets in wax heaven." Stan just couldn't help but sniffle in distress. "… I'm sorry I've got glitter in my eye!" He yells out, putting his hands up to his eyes and running out the room.
Followed shortly by Soos as he cries out in a sobbing voice, "Dude!"
Once they're gone, Dipper slouches in his chair and crosses his arms. "Those cops were right about me." He mutters.
"Dipper. We've come so far. We can't give up now." Mabel tells him.
"But I considered everything." He replies, jumping out of the chair and walking towards the casket. "The weapon, the motive, the clues… Huh, wax Stan's shoe has a hole in it." He says in slight confusion. Mabel and Danny walking over to stand beside him.
"All the wax guys have that. It's where the pole thingy attaches to their stand dealies." Mabel tells him, getting a snicker from Danny at her grammar.
"Wait a minute." Dipper begins with wide eyes. "What has holes in its shoes and no fingerprints?" Dipper asks, making Danny go wide eyed when he understands where this is going. "Mabel, Danny. The murderers are-"
"Standing right behind you?" A voice asks, making the trio turn around with gasps to see that the wax figure of Sherlock Holmes… is now standing. The other wax figures follow his lead and begin stretching and standing up from their chairs. While this is going on, Danny takes the time to notice that one is missing its axe. Which Mabel is currently holding.
"Wax Sherlock Holmes! Wax Shakespeare! Wax Cuulio?" Dipper asks the last one, seeing the black man with the tendril like hair stand next to Holmes.
"Sup Holmes?" The wax figure greets the wax detective.
"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh." Mabel breaths out, stepping behind Dipper and Danny as the wax figure that was missing its axe takes the object back.
"Congratulations to my two amateur sleuths. You've unburied the truth. And now we're, going to bury, you." Wax Holmes announces, pointing his magnifying glass as the twins and their cousin, the other wax figures closing in on them. "Bravo Dipper Pines. You've discovered our little secret." Wax Holmes announces, pulling the decapitated wax Stan head out from beneath his wax trench coat, before turning towards the other wax figures. "Applaud everyone. Applaud sarcastically." He tells them, to which they start to legitimately applaud. "Uh, no. That sounds too sincere. Slow clap." He tells them. And they go from regularly clapping to slowly clapping. "There we go. Nice and condescending." Wax Holmes says in satisfaction.
"But, how is this possible? You're made of wax!" Dipper exclaims.
"Are you… Magic?" Mabel asks breathlessly as her eyes go wide and she gives a small smile. Apparently completely forgetting how the wax figures just told the three of them that they were going to kill them. Wax Holmes begins to laugh a little.
"Magic? She wants to know if we're magic." He tells the wax figures behind him, before turning around and glaring at the trio. "We're cursed!" He yells at them, the wax figures behind him repeating the word for emphasis. "Cursed to come to life whenever the moon is waxing." He announces, before going on to tell the trio the tale about how their uncle "bought" them at a garage sale, "A haunted garage sail son!" And put them on display. He told them how they were treated as the "play things of man" during the day, before living the good life during the nights of the waxing moon. Then, he goes on to tell them how their uncle eventually had to "close up shop", before they were forgotten about for ten years, and eventually were freed by Soos when he placed the doorknob back in its original place.
He goes on to tell them how he had tried to use the axe and get their revenge on Stan for locking them away, but got the wrong "guy". Dipper and Mabel stare with wide eyes while Danny glares at the crowd of living wax statues. "So you were trying to murder Grunkle Stan for real?" Dipper asks in shock.
"You were right all along Dipper. Wax people are creepy." Mabel agrees with Dipper as wax Holmes walks over to stand in front of the fireplace in the room.
"Enough!" He exclaims. "Now that you know our secret, you must die." He announces as the other wax figures close in, their eyes rolling into the back of their heads to go completely white while they all let out groans. The trio slowly backs up towards the table resting to the side of the room covered in plates, eating utensils, coffee, and fake candles.
"What do we do, what do we do?!" Mabel yells out in alarm. Dipper sends her a fearful glance.
"I don't know!" He exclaims. Danny glances between the twins and wax figures a few times, before finally looking over his shoulder at the table.
"I do." He says, glaring at the advancing wax figures before turning around and grabbing one of the knives. As he turns back around to face the wax figurines, wax Ganges Khan just smirks before pulling out his own larger sword. Danny looks between the two, before tossing his knife at the wax figures while Mabel and Dipper toss the other utensils and plates as well. When they finally run out, Dipper splashes a mug of coffee on wax Ganges Khan. The result is his face melting and him yelling out in pain. The trio shares a look before they all look at the now-empty mug.
"That's it! We can melt them with hotty melty things!" Mabel exclaims, before she and Dipper grab the two fake wax sticks still on the table and grin confidently at the wax figures. Said wax figures backup uncertainty when they see the heated objects.
"Anybody move, and we'll melt you into candles!" Dipper shouts out.
"Decorative candles!" Mabel adds.
"You really think that you can beat us?" Wax Holmes asks skeptically while slightly glaring at the heated candle wielding duo.
"Eh… I'm not really sure." Dipper admits, waving his hand back and forth in a "kinda" motion.
"It's worth a shot." Mabel inputs.
"Yes." Danny says without flinching, making everyone turn to look at him in surprise, before wax Holmes shakes it off.
"So be it. Attack!" He shouts out.
The other wax figures follow his orders and charge the trio. While the twins take care of the other wax figures, Dipper actually making a few clever quips, Danny makes his way towards wax Sherlock Holmes, dodging past the other figures that the twins take care of.
"Alright then, let's get this taken care of." Wax Holmes states, placing the wax Stan head on a rhino head's horn, before grabbing a sword that was hung up on the wall and brandishing it towards the teenager. Said teenager glares, before sending a glance towards Mabel when she shouts out to get his attention.
"Danny! Catch!" She shouts out, throwing a fireplace poker to him, which he seems to catch expertly to the twins' confusion, before they're distracted by the other wax figures.
As wax Holmes continuously swings the sword, Danny blocks each strike as they walk out of the room, starting to walk down the hall towards the stairs before making their way up them towards the attic, still clashing steel. As they near a window, Danny swings the poker, making wax Holmes bring his sword up to block it, before he dives for said window, pushing it open and making his way towards the top of the roof. Wax Holmes tries to swing at Danny's leg, but misses as the twin's cousin continues to climb.
"Neener-Neener-Boo-Boo!" Danny turns around to taunt him, pulling down the skin beneath his eye in further mockery.
"You think you can defeat me boy?!" Wax Holmes shouts out as Danny continues up the roof. "I'm Sherlock Bleeding Holmes!" He continues.
"Oh please! I've met the real one! As close as you are to him, you're still a fake!" Danny shouts back, before climbing on top of the Mystery Shack's sign. Wax Holmes follows close behind, before swinging the sword again. They continue to clash steel some more, wax Holmes slicing the "S" off the "Shack" part of the sign, before Danny, unbeknownst to wax Sherlock, loosens his grip on the poker and lets the fake detective knock it out of his hand. He pretends to look around a bit, before jumping higher onto the sign, and climbing onto the opposite end of the roof.
"Get back here boy! Have you seen my magnifying glass?! It's enormous!" Wax Sherlock yells after him, holding up the magnifying glass as proof.
"Hah! Think you're overcompensating for something there waxy?!" Danny yells out before sliding down the roof until he stops on a landing by a chimney. He stays crouched behind it, looking off to one side, before letting out a relieved breath. Only to get kicked from the other side by a wax boot.
"Hah!" Exclaims wax Holmes. "Any last words?" Wax Holmes asks, holding up the sword for a finishing blow. Danny just smirks in response.
"Yeah. I hope you brought sunblock." He tells the wax figure.
"Sunblock?" Wax Holmes asks, before parts of his hand start to melt. "What?!" He shouts out in surprise, dropping the sword behind him and turning to face the rising sun with a frightened gasp. "No." He replies with a deadpan look and tone.
"You know, waxy, letting me lead you out here wasn't exactly your best idea. Just another thing that separates you from the original I guess…" Danny says, standing up with a smile.
"Outsmarted by…" Wax Sherlock trails off, not knowing anything demeaning that he could say to the boy who had bested him. Danny's smile widens.
"Outsmarted by The Great One." He tells the wax figure, getting a gasp of fear and surprise in… Surprise.
"N-n-nooooo!" He wax figure shouts out. "Fiddlesticks, humbugs-!" Sherlock yells out.
"Cheese logs?" Danny quips with a smirk as the leftover wax falls from the slanted roof onto the waiting ground below. Splattering across it. Danny just smiles and shakes his head, before making his way back to the window, and then down to the parlor used for the tribute to wax Stan. There, he finds the twins presenting their Grunkle with the head of his wax counterpart. The entire room was covered in melted wax. Mabel is the first to notice that he's back.
"Danny!" She shouts out as he makes his way over to them with a smile. "You took care of wax Sherlock Holmes!" She shouts out with a smile. Stan sends him a confused look, and he just shrugs in response.
"Yeah, but he was nothing like the original." He tells them, this time all three of them looking at him in confusion, before they put it off as him making a joke. Suddenly, they hear a siren come from outside. Everyone turns to look and sees the two officers from two nights ago look at them with smirks.
"Solve the case yet boy? I'm so confident you're gonna say no, that I'm gonna take a long, slow sip from my cup of coffee." The fatter one says with a smirk, the skinnier one following his example. Danny smiles as he can imagine what's going to happen next.
"Actually, the answer is yes." Dipper replies, holding up the head for evidence.
"W-what?!" The cop yells out, before performing a spit take into his fellow officer's face.
"Ahhh!" He shouts out in pain, before performing his own spit take. This repeats a couple times, before Blubs takes a hold of the wheel again.
"It burns! It burns!" He shouts out, slamming down on the gas pedal and sending them speeding away. The three Pines and one Fenton laugh at the scene.
"They got scolded!" Grunkle Stan exclaims, the sound of a car crashing heard off in the distance. As Grunkle Stan continues to laugh, Danny hears Dipper and Mabel talk.
"Sooo, do you think we got rid of all the wax figures?" Dipper asks Mabel.
"I am ninety-nine percent sure that we did." She replies.
"That's good enough for me." Dipper replies, before going back to laughing with his sister and Grunkle. Danny does too, but stops when he hears banging coming from the vent in the wall under the table and sends it an accusatory glance.
Hope you like this chapter and yes Danny did get the room where the twins fight over. Probably going to skip that episode, but idk atm. Sorry, no flashbacks yet, but next chapter is defintely going to explain it.
More importantly the schedule for all of my stories will be every other day, that way it's spread out. Originally I was going to psot this yesterday, but college had me busy. Tell me what you all thought of this.
