Episode Short #4: Tooth

He hated the tuba…

In fact he hated it with every fiber of his being!

Stanford Pines sighed as he chose a secluded spot for the worse part of his day, after only being in Gravity Falls for a little over a week his parents had sent him a Tuba through the mail, encouraging him to take up some kind of interest in music.

Now, it wasn't that Ford was a music hater, no he loved music. What he hated was the fact that his parents chose the Tuba! The thing weighed a ton, and blowing on it always left him out of breath.

Ford lugged the tuba over to the docks and looked around warily, it was still pretty early (around 8 Am), and no one was up yet. Seeing that he was alone, and wouldn't be watched he began to play the horrid instrument. It was awful, he might as well be blowing on whale blubber with how bad it was.

And as expected it didn't take him long to get out of breath, he gasped in air, and bent over.

"This is impossible." He whispered to himself. "Who in their right mind plays the tuba?" He shakes his head, placing the cursed instrument back in its case. "That's enough for the day." He decided, getting up to leave. Only to stop dead in his tracks as he noticed something.

It was large, bigger than he was, and it was oddly shaped like…"Is this a giant tooth?" he asked himself out loud.

It was, and it was on top of what looked like smashed pieces of a boat!

"This…this is amazing!" He exclaimed drawing a quick sketch in his journal. "What could have made a tooth this big?" he couldn't even begin to think of the possibilities. The tree people sure were big enough, but Steve and his family have no teeth. "I've got to show the guys!" he thought, and raced off to tell them.

(1 Hour Later...)

It didn't take him long to round up the gang,

After the close call with the Gleeful twins they needed a distraction.

"See its right here!" Ford exclaimed running up to the Tooth.

"Holly molly." Heather exclaimed. "I've never seen anything like this."

"Look how big it is!" Stan shouted, trying to wrap his arms around it.

"You think what lost it is still around?" Fids (Fiddleford) asked fearfully.

Ford shook his head as he readied his camera. "No I don't think so, but whatever it is, it'll make a great segment for our unexplained files!" He went on gesturing to the Tooth. "You guys stay over there for scale." He ordered, before he began recording. "Welcome to Ford's Guide to the Unexplained, Anomaly #42: The Tooth." He points the camera at Stan, who is poking the tooth with a stick.

"We're here for scale!" Stan declared. Sure Ford just said that, but that was before the camera was on, and he felt like the views needed to know why they was standing there.

"I found it earlier today when I was, uh... practicing." Ford went on, he was a little embarrass to admit he was playing a tuba, and playing it badly at that. "It's strangely human, but it's gigantic!"

"It's bigger than any fish or Lake Monster I've ever seen." Heather admitted.

"And we're gonna find out where it came from!" Ford cut in.

"How?" Stan asked.

"Well I guess we can start with my dad." Fids said.

"Sounds like a good place as any to me." Ford agreed, and the gang began to follow Fids down the side walk.

"Dad?" Fids asked as they entered the renting shop.

Ford scanned the shop with the camera, lots of fishing lures decorated the wall.

"What can I do you for kids?" Mr. Tate asked, he was standing at the front counter; polishing it as he waited for costumers to start pouring in.

"Hey dad did you notice a giant tooth outside?" Fids asked, as Ford trained the camera on Mr. Tate.

Mr. Tate grew very serious all of the sudden. "Tooth? No, don't know nothing about a tooth."

The gang all share a look, was he…keeping something from them?

Ford pushed for more information. "You know we were thinking about paddling out on that lake tonight."

Mr. Tate's eyes widen, and then he turns away. "Bit of friendly advice, kids: If you see bubbles on that lake, run."

"What, why?" Heather asked.

Mr. Tate shewed them away. "Enough questions, get that camera out of here!"

The gang ran out of the shop, stunned.

"Guys, I've never seen my dad like that before, ever!" Fids exclaimed.

"That means he's seen it." Stan realized. "He's seen whatever made that tooth."

"And we will too." Ford declared. "Tonight!"

(Later On After 10 PM…)

It took them longer to sneak out then they would have liked to, but soon the gang was at the docks, where they "barrowed" a small wooden boat.

Ford flips back on the camera as they get in and push off onto the lake. "We're here at the lake to investigate." He said.

"Man it's so foggy." Heather points out as she squints her eyes. "I can barely see anything."

"It's okay." Ford said. "The fog will clear, besides something out there left that tooth, and we're gonna find out what it is!"

Fids paddles the boat out further, and the fog slowly thins. "What are we supposed to be looking for?" he asked fearfully.

"I don't know" Ford admitted. "Just look out for bubbles in the water."

The gang obey, and for a moment it's quiet until…

"Hey look an island!" Stan says.

Ford points his camera towards it. "Odd Scuttlebutt Island shouldn't be for another mile." He said.

Suddenly, bubbles began to come up near the island.

"Ford, look!" Stan pointed at the bubbles.

Ford follows his hand with the camera. "This is it." He said. "Whatever made that tooth is over by that island. We have to see what happens."

As if on que Fids starts to paddle them closer.

Heather looks unsure. "Guys I don't think that's Scuttlebutt Island." She said as the island begins to shake.

"What was that?" Ford asked.

Heather gasps as the island begins to rise revealing that is a giant head rising out of the water and floats toward the boat, grunting gibberish. "YNITSED RUOY RETNE! Nerdlich, htuom ym retne"

"Ah!" The Stan twins screamed.

"What's happening?!" Fids asked as he turns around to start paddling the other way.

"IT DOESN'T MATTER!" Heather yelled. "Just ROW! ROW! ROW!"

Suddenly the island was over them, where it wasted no time chomping down on their tinny boat.

"Everyone jump!" Ford ordered.

The gang jumped into the dark water below, swinging towards the shore.

Ford didn't look back to see if the giant was still there until after his feet reached the dry sand.

"That was insane!" Fids exclaimed as he fell on his hands and knees beside him.

"Where'd it go?" Stan asked, looking over the open water. But it was clam like it never happened. "Ford?" He asked. "Whatcha doing?"

Ford had started searching the ground. "I don't know, I'm looking for— there it is." He says as he spots the camera in the dirt not too far away. "Look it still works!" He exclaimed.

"What a relief." Stan admitted. "We already had to fix it once."

"Guys look!" Heather shouted.

Ford turns the camera back towards the water just in time to see their busted up boat wash ashore, with another giant tooth imbedded in it.

"That could have been us!" Fids exclaimed.

"Yeah but it wasn't." Heather assured him.

"Yeah besides we need this proof so everyone will stop thinking your dad is crazy." Stan reminded him.

"Right." Fids seemed to nod in agreement.

Silence…

It didn't last long.

"So all for staying away from the lake for a while raise your hand." Ford said.

The whole gang raised their hands.

"Thought so." Ford said, and took off running.

His friends weren't too far behind.
