The Mystery Shack staff was decorating the living room, they were preparing a party. Dipper, Mabel and Pacifica were sitting on the couch with some spray cans.
- "Oh no girls! I… I don't feel so good… I… UAGHH!" -Dipper faked to puke over them, spraying the can's content on them.
- "Ough! Gruncle Stan! What did you feed us? UAGHH!" -Mabel asked and also faked puking on Dipper and Pacifica.
- "Ugh! This is so bad! UAGHH!" -Pacifica played along. The three kids laughed joyfully, then Wendy came.
- "Guys! Guys! Stop! Something terrible just happened!" -The kids looked at her and then, she also faked to puke on them and sprayed them. They all laughed and kept playing around, until Stan came and took all the stuff they were playing with from them.
- "All right all right! Party's supplies are off limits." -
- "Mr. Pines. Whose birthday is it again?" -Soos asked him.
- "Nobody. Thought this party could be a good way to get kids spend money in the Shack." -
- "Nice!" -Soos gave him a thump up.
- "Young people in this town want fun, I'll smother them with fun." -
- "Maybe comments like that are why kids don't come to the Mystery Shack." -Dipper said while trying to serve some soda to Mabel and Pacifica, but Stan stopped him.
- "Hey! Hey! How's about you make yourself useful and copy these flyers." -Stan handed them the flyers and they read them.
PARTY
At the Mystery Shack
Kids and teenagers' welcome
FREE?
- "How's this supposed to attract people to the Shack?" -Pacifica asked.
- "Read the last line." -Stan said with a broad smile.
DON'T MISS THE CHANCE TO MEET OUR SPECIAL GUESTS:
LADYBUG! BLACK CAT! AND QUEEN BEE!
- "WWWAAAIIITTT! WWWHHHAAATTT?!" -The three kids yelled at the same time.
- "I know right?! The Shack will be full at the party." -Stan said mischievously.
- "Ahm… Mr. Pines. Do you… I mean… do you know them? I mean, Ladybug and the others?" -Pacifica asked him, she was a little nervous.
- "Don't be a fool, girl. Of course, I know them." -Stan said not looking at her and she gulped. - "They are Gravity Falls greatest heroes! Everyone knows them." -He said and she sighed in relief.
- "No. I mean if… if you know their IDs? How did you contact them?" -She asked him.
- "Well… I don't know their IDs'. Neither I contacted them. But no one needs to know that, right?" -Stan said with a mischievous smile, but Pacifica seemed disgusted.
- "And that's why my dad doesn't come to support your business Mr. Pines." -She said with her arms crossed, but he just rolled his eyes.
- "You better go to copy the flyers." -He said.
- "Oh boy! A trip to the copier store!" -Mabel said with enthusiasm.
- "Counters, mugs, T-shirts and more. They got it all at the copier store! That's not their slogan, I just really feel that way about the copier store." -Soos said.
Then Stan stopped them. - "Save the trouble! You know the old copier in my office? I finally fixed the old girl up. Good as new!" -
The kids went to the copier and found out that said copier was far from being as good as new, covered in dust and spiderweb.
- "Does it even work?" -Dipper asked while pressing some buttons.
- "It would be better to go to the copier store." -Pacifica said and the twins nodded at her and Dipper put an arm over the copier and it started to work, it copied his arm.
Mabel grabbed the sheet and said. - "Success!" -Then, the sheet trembled and Mabel dropped it, then, in front of them, the copy started to move, the copied arm came to live and crawled to them, scaring them.
- "STAY BACK!" -Dipper yelled and threw his soda to it and the arm melted. – "Oh my gosh girls! I think this copier can copy human beings!" -The three kids seemed scared.
- "Do you realize what this means?" -Mabel asked them and then she spayed them with a can again, faking to be puking.

Stan reunited the Shack's staff in the Ball room. Pacifica left to get ready for the party. - "All right party people, and Dipper. Let's talk business. Soos, because you'll work for free and you begged, I'm letting you be DJ" -
- "You won't regret it Mr. Pines. I got this book to teach me how to DJ r-r-r-right." -Soos showed him the book.
Stan just looked at him with a blank expression. - "Not encouraging. Wendy, you and Mabel will work at the ticket stand." -He ordered them.
- "What?! But grunkle Stan, this party is my chance to make new friends." -Mabel protested. Dipper lifted a hand.
- "Uh… I could work with Wendy." -
- "You realize if you do, you gotta commit to staying at the ticket stand with Wendy, not getting out of it! Just the two of you, alone, all night!" -Stan 'warned' him. Dipper turned around and looked at Wendy, who was fooling with Soos and Mabel, he saw her laughing and that put a big smile on his face.
- "I promise." -He said with confidence. After that, Dipper went to his room to get ready for the party, then he saw Mabel in the mirror and gasped. - "Ah! What?" -He asked her.
- "Uh! Oh! Oh! I can work with you Wendy! Let's kiss!" -Mabel mocked him.
- "Yeah! Yeah! Laugh all you want, but I've devised a plan to make sure my night with Wendy goes perfect." -Dipper said while fixing his bow tie.
- "Plan? Oh! You're not making one of those overcomplicated listy things, are you?" -Mabel asked him worried.
- "Pffft! Overcomplicated? Let me just… All right… Hold that there, ok." -Dipper pulled out a paper and unfolded it to show it to Mabel, who was already bored. - "Step one. Getting to know each other with playful banter, banter is like talking but smarter." -
- "That sounds like a dumb idea for poop heads." -
- "Yeah. See, this isn't banter, this is what I want to avoid with Wendy. The final step is to ask her to dance." -He pictured himself dancing with Wendy.
- "Oh Dipper! I'm so happy you decided to work the ticket stand with me. You're so organized. Show me that check list again." - 'Wendy' said while dancing with Dipper.
- "If I follow steps 1 through 11, nothing can get in my way." -
- "Dipper. You're the one getting in your way. Why can't you just walk up and talk to her like a normal person?" -Mabel asked him.
- "Step 9 sister." -Dipper showed her the step nine and she rolled her eyes. Dipper folded his list again while Mabel was leaving.
- "Just remember something Dipper. Pacifica's coming to the party too." -Mabel reminded him.
- "Yeah! I know, so?" -He asked her.
- "Sigh… clueless." -Mabel muttered.
- "What?" -Dipper asked her because he didn't hear her.
- "Nothing! I have something to do. See you at the party." -Mabel said while leaving. Dipper was dumbfounded.

The party was just starting and Mabel was looking at the dance floor when Stan came in. - "Can your uncle throw a party or what?" -He asked her. There were some people dancing already, and a lot more coming. Most of them were expecting to have a good time, but all of them were waiting to see their heroes at the party. Soos was doing his best as DJ. - "And if anyone wants to leave, I'm charging an exit fee of $15. °° bucks." -
- "I don't think anyone will leave until Ladybug, Black Cat and Queen bee come grunkle." -Mabel said and Stan gulped.
Outside the Shack, Wendy and Dipper were working at the ticket stand. Dipper checked his list. - "Step one, casual banter." -He muttered and looked at Wendy. - "So, here's a casual question, uhmm… What's your favorite type of snack food?" -He talked with a cracked voice at first.
- "Oh man, I can't just pick one." -Wendy answered him.
- "No way! Mine too!" -Dipper said without thinking.
- "Wait what?" -Wendy was confused.
- "Uh! I mean… Imean…" -Dipper didn't know what to do and just took a hand of pop corn and filled his mouth with it to keep his mouth busy. He checked his list again, looking for a new topic.
- "Oh! Hey Pacifica! Good to see you." -Wendy greeted her and Dipper looked at her.
- "Hi guys! How's everything going?" -She asked them while handing her money to Wendy.
- "Same old, same old." -Wendy took the money and handed her the ticket. - "Have fun. OH MY GOSH!" -Wendy yelled.
- "What?" -Both, Dipper and Pacifica asked her.
- "IT'S HER!" -She said excitedly and both kids looked at where she was looking, and both of them gasped. People stepped aside to let her pass through. She got in front of Wendy and Dipper.
- "Hi guys! I heard my friends and I are special guests for this party, and I'd like to get in." - She said handing her money to Wendy, who didn't take it and handed her a ticket.
- "As a special guest, you don't pay anything, Queen bee." -Wendy was extremely excited about this.
- "Really! Wow! Thank you very much ahm…" -
- "Wendy, my name's Wendy, I'm a big fan. When are the others coming?" -Wendy said while shaking Queen bee's hand.
- "Dunno. I just found about this for a flyer I found around the city. Not sure if the others know about it. I'll call them though." -Queen bee said while taking a piece of paper and a pen and signing it for Wendy. - "Here." -She handed it to her and she gasped.
- "Th… Than… Thank you!" -Wendy couldn't believe her luck, she took the autograph and put it into her pocket.
- "You're welcome." -Queen bee said and got into the party, while everyone just looked at her.
- "This is so cool! I just hope the others come too." -Wendy said happily.
- "You really want to meet them huh?" -Pacifica asked her.
- "Yeah! Of course! Me and everyone else here." -Wendy signed at the people in the line, and right then, they heard a massive squeal from inside the Shack. - "See?" -
Both, Pacifica and Dipper sighed at the same time, she got into the party, he stayed at the ticket stand.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Inside the Shack, the party was going smoothly, Queen bee dragged almost everyone's attention right away, but Mabel just wanted to keep dancing, she took a rest and met two girls, Candy and Grenda, they became friends right away.
At some point, Pacifica went to her. - "Hey Mabel, how are you?" -She greeted her. Mabel turned to her and twitched a little. - "Uh! Oh! H… Hi Pacifica, good to see you, let me introduce you my new friends, Candy and Grenda." -She introduced them and they greeted happily. She greeted them back, but she was confused, for a moment, it seemed like Mabel didn't recognize her, then they turned to look at Queen bee, who had a bunch of fans around her, asking her for autographs and dances, she tried to give a chance to everyone and smiled at them, then she saw Mabel and went to her, she greeted them happily, and Mabel pointed at Candy and Grenda and gave a thump up to Queen bee. - "So, do you want an autograph?" -She asked them and the four girls nodded at her. Queen bee took some paper and a pen and asked for their names. While she was signing the autographs, Candy asked her.
- "Do you know if the Black Cat and Ladybug are coming?" -
Queen bee handed her an autograph and said with a broad smile. - "I tried to call them, but they didn't answer, I left them messages, let's hope they hear them and come soon." -
Then, Soos made an announcement. - "Remember dudes, whoever uhm… party hardiest… what? Gets the party crown! Most applause at the end of the night wins!" -He showed them the crown.
- "It looks nice." -Pacifica said.
- "Do you want to compete for it?" -Mabel asked her.
- "Are you sure about that? I'm a Northwest, I always play to win. ALWAYS!" -
- "Good! That will make it funnier." -
- "I don't know Mabel, I'm very competitive. I… I don't want to get into a fight with you. I don't want to lose your friendship." -
- "Oh! COME ON PACIFICA! It's just a little competition between friends, like when we played that videogame and you defeated us both, Dipper and I. Neither of us got angry at you, and we didn't break our friendship with you, did we?" -Mabel asked her and she thought about it. - "So, is it on?" -Both girls smiled at each other.
- "It… is… on." -Pacifica said challenging her, they shook hands. - "But first, I gotta go to the bathroom." -She left them.
- "She's going down." -Mabel said happily.
After a while, Pacifica came back and started her duel with Mabel.
Outside the Shack, people were still trying to get in, the fact that Queen bee arrived just made them more desperate to get in, and a lot more people arrived, but that was just the beginning.
- "Wow! Sounds like the party's getting nuts." -Wendy said while handing tickets to the people, then she squealed when she looked who was coming. - "L… L… La… Lady…" -She couldn't say it.
- "Uhm… hi… excuse me but I got a message from Queen bee, saying that I was needed here. What's going on?" -Ladybug asked to Wendy and Dipper. Wendy was trembling from excitement; her heroine was in front of her and she couldn't say anything, she handed her a ticket without saying a word and Ladybug giggled.
- "It's just a party, my grunkle said that you'd come just to attract people to it, but the fact that you actually showed up is just luck in the end." -Dipper explained her.
- "Oh! So, this isn't an emergency, is it?" -Ladybug asked him.
- "Nope, not at all, but now that you're here, why don't take a break, relax a little and enjoy yourself for a while? It would help you to relief some stress from being a heroine. What do you say?" -He asked her.
She thought about it for a while, looking at the people that was expecting her to stay, she sighed and smiled at them. - "I guess some relaxing time won't hurt me." -She said and all the people cheered. - "Is the Black Cat here already?" -She asked.
- "No, not yet." - Dipper answered.
- "Too bad! I hope he comes; I'd like to dance with him." -She said and got in the shack and was immediately surrounded by people asking her for autographs and dances, she met with Queen bee and they started to enjoy the party.
Wendy and Dipper were looking inside from a window. - "I gotta get in there. Cover for me?" -Wendy asked Dipper looking at Ladybug and Queen bee all the time.
- "Uhm, well, I…" -
- "Thanks man." -Wendy got in, and went straight to Ladybug and Queen bee.
Dipper stayed outside looking at her, he checked his list and decided to close the tickets stand.
- "Wendy seems more interested in the heroes, ok, so be it." -He muttered caressing his ring and smiled. - "I'll be back shortly! Sure, Stan won't mind if I'm gone for a few minutes." -He said fixing his bow tie. Then, Stan grabbed him by his collar.
- "Hey! What are you doing kid? These suckers not gonna rip themselves off." -Stan asked him. - "You promised, remember?" -
- "I did?" -Dipper asked him and Stan grabbed a recorder and played it. It was a Dipper's voice record saying 'I promise' and he left, leaving Dipper defeated. He sat at the ticket stand and got back to work. - "Sigh… If only I could be in two places at once." -He muttered and saw some party flyers, then he got an idea.
He went to the copier in Stan's office and was about to copy himself when.
- "Before you go any further, take off the ring." -Plagg requested in a very serious tone.
- "What? Why?" -Dipper asked him.
- "Just a precaution." -Plagg said extending his hands. Dipper didn't understand, but decided to let it go and handed him the ring.
Dipper got into the machine. - "Strange, it feels warm, as if it was used recently. Maybe Stan made more flyers." -He activated the machine. - "I wonder if this is a good idea." -he said out loud.
- "I know it's not." -Plagg scolded him.
The copy came out. Dipper looked at it while putting his ring back and Plagg hid under his hat again. Soon enough, the copy trembled and 'Dipper' came out from the paper page and turned to original Dipper. - "Wow! I have a really big head." -Dipper said staring at his copy.
They stared at each other for a while. - "So, uhm?" -The said at the same time. - "Sorry, you first. Stop copying me! Hahaha!" -They were synchronized.
Dipper took a marker and wrote the number 2 on the copy's hat. - "I shall call you… number two." -
- "Definitely not." -The copy said. - "You know a name I've always wanted?" -
- "Tyrone." -Both of them said smiling at each other.
- "Ok Tyrone, let's get down to business. I'm thinking, you cover me at the ticket stand, while I ask Wendy to dance." -Dipper explained.
- "I know the plan buddy." -Tyrone said and both kids unfolded the plan.
- "Hey…We're not gonna get jealous and turn on each other like the clones in the movies, are we?" -Dipper asked him.
- "Dipper please, this is you you're talking about. Plus, hey! You can always disintegrate me with water." -
- "Yeah! Yeah!" -They both said at the same time poking their heads with their fingers. So, they went on with their plan; while Tyrone stayed at the tickets stand, Dipper went to the party and approached Wendy.
- "Great news Wendy! I got someone to cover the concessions for me." -He told her.
- "That's awesome, you can hang out with me and Robbie." -Wendy said and Robbie was by her side. - "Robbie do you remember Dipper from the convenience store?" -
- "Uh? No. Yo, Wendy, Check out my new guitar." -Robbie showed her his guitar and started to play it.
- "Oh! Cool!" -Wendy said and Dipper gasped, imagining again how Wendy danced with Robbie and ditched Dipper as if he was nothing. Then his phone ringed.
- "Hey man, it's me, you. I just had the same jealousy fantasy." - Tyrone said.
- "We've gotta get rid of Robbie if I ever want to dance with Wendy." -Dipper said and then Wendy called him.
- "Hey Dipper! We're gonna talk to Ladybug and Queen bee on the couch, join us when you're done." -
- "Oh no! They're sitting on the couch! We've got to think in something quick!" -Dipper looked around and saw Robbie's bike. - "I got an idea!" -
- "I got the same one, but we're gonna need some help." -
Dipper took off the ring and give it to Plagg before going to the copier with Tyrone and made another copy of himself. - "And that's where you come in, number three." -Dipper introduced the new clone.
- "But what if Robbie catches me, I'll be all alone." -The clone said worried and both, Dipper and Tyrone agreed with him and made another clone, but this time, the paper jammed and stuck. Tyrone pulled it off. The clone came out as a failure, they called him 'paper jam Dipper' but number three refused to work with him, he was unstable.
- "Ok, just one more clone." - Dipper said and he heard a sigh inside his hat.

Meanwhile, Pacifica and Mabel were still in their friendly competition, Pacifica was finishing her song and after she was done, she gave the mic to Mabel.
- "This isn't over yet." - The brunette girl said smiling.
- "Show me what you got." - The blond girl countered.
- "Soos! Give me the eighties Mr. Crabbe pleasing star song you got!" -Mabel ordered and Soos started said song. - "Excellent!" -Mabel started to sing.
While these girls were playing their little game, most people were around Ladybug and Queen bee, asking them for autographs and dances, both girls were very pleased to give autographs, but just Queen bee was ok with dancing with the guys that asked her to, Ladybug was still waiting for the Black Cat to arrive, she really wanted to see him.
- "What's wrong Ladybug?" -Wendy asked her, she still had her autographs in her hands, but her wide smile vanished when she saw her heroine looking at the entrance with a sad expression.
Ladybug turned to her and smiled sheepishly.
- "I'm waiting for the Black Cat. I'd like to dance with him." -She said and blushed a little bit.
- "Uuuuhhh! Is there something going on between you two?" -Wendy mocked her, making Ladybug blush even more. - "So, THERE IS SOMETHING!" -Wendy stated confidently.
- "No! NO! I didn't say that!" -Ladybug defended.
- "You didn't deny it either." -Wendy smiled and Ladybug didn't know what to do or say
- "Sigh… I… I don't know what it is, but when I'm with them, Black Cat and Queen bee, I feel stronger, better, as if I can be even more than what I already am. We're a team. We are strong by our own, but we're stronger when we're together. I feel like we can handle anything this valley throw at us. Now, I have this chance to spend some time with them, without some deadly danger threatening us. Just some relaxing time to know each other better. I already had fun with Queen bee, and I'm enjoying a lot, and I want to do the same with the Black Cat." -Ladybug explained and Wendy smiled at her, she caressed her cheek.
- "You're still a kid, a superhero, yes, but still a kid. I wish I had a way to help you." -Wendy said in a caring tone.
- "Thanks! You already do a lot keeping yourself away of troubles." -Ladybug said taking Wendy's hand in hers and smiling too.
Robbie was beside Wendy all the time, he wanted to be with her, but he also was enjoying Ladybug and Queen bee's presence. Then, Soos made an announcement.
- "Dudes! Will the owner of a silver and red dirt bike please report outside. It's being stolen right now." -
- "WAIT! WHAT?!" -Robbie jumped off his seat beside Wendy and ran outside to look how two kids he couldn't identify were taking his bike away. He ran after them. - "Hey! Come back here!" -
- "Ah! Though break. I wonder who those guys are that aren't me because I'm right here." -Dipper said getting close to the girls. - "Hey girls! Can I have your autographs?" -He asked both Ladybug and Queen bee. Both girls smiled at him and agreed to it, he approached Wendy.
Then, Soos made another announcement. - "Now we're gonna bring it down for a minute, ladies, dudes, now's the time." -He started a slow song and couples were formed immediately.
- "Oh snap! I love this song." -Wendy said happily and started to dance in her seat.
- "Hey Koufos! Now's your chance that…" -Mabel came and said to Dipper but he stopped her by putting a hand on her mouth. He pushed her away from the other girls and released her. - "Now's your chance to ask Wendy to dance. Come on! Go!" -Mabel pushed and encouraged him.
Dipper tried to go and ask Wendy to dance, but he backed off in the last moment and ran away, Mabel just stayed there, Ladybug giggled and Queen Bee facepalmed.
In his room, Dipper and Tyrone were talking about what just happened. - "Oh, I agree, you can't just go and dance with her." -Said Tyrone.
- "The dance floor is a minefield, A MINEFIELD! Tyrone." -
- "What if there's a glitch in the sound system." -
- "Stan might get in the way." -
- "Robbie! He'll might come back." -
- "There's too many variables! We need help." -Dipper finished and took off his ring again and going to the copier. He made another six clones, all of them seemed 'normal', but, the bigger the number in the hat, the weirder the clone's behavior was, even Tyrone seemed affected by the other clones, but they were still helping Dipper with his plan. They all were adding new steps to the plan, it had to be perfect, so Wendy would fall for Dipper.
- "All right Dipper's, gather around." -Dipper called them and they joined him. They checked the plan a last time before put it into action. - "Now's the time, you all clear on what to do?" -Dipper asked the clones and they agreed. The clones went ahead and started with the plan. Dipper stayed behind and sighed, he put his ring back on. Plagg stood in front of his face, with a very angry look.
- "What?" -He asked the kwami.
- "You know, if you just asked her to dance, you probably have had at least five dances with her already. Seriously Dipper, sometimes I just want to slap you or choke you." -
- "What do you know about this Plagg? As if you'd have a girlfriend." -
- "Oh! I DO HAVE A GIRLFRIEND! Kiddo. The most incredible, beautiful and awesome kwami you'll ever know." -
- "Really?! Who?" -Dipper was curious now.
- "Na ah! I can't tell you that. There's some times when a man needs to keep things for himself and…" -
- "It's Ladybug's kwami, right?" -Dipper interrupted him and Plagg sweat dropped. Both looking at each other with hard looks.
- "H… how… how did you…" -Plagg stuttered.
- "Easy, I also think Ladybug is the most incredible, beautiful and awesome girl I've ever known, but I don't know who she really is, so I can't ask her out. And Wendy is just as awesome as Ladybug, and I know who is she, so, despite our age difference, I have better chances with her than with Ladybug." -Dipper explained.
- "Isn't there anyone else you consider as amazing as them? Anyone at all?" -Plagg asked him.
- "Well… There's Pacifica, but she's a rich girl, so I have a pretty similar problem as with Ladybug. Her parents won't let us be together." -Dipper explained and Plagg was about to protest when a bell ringed. Tyrone came in and Plagg hid under Dipper's shirt.
- "That's your cue, It's the perfect moment to ask Wendy to dance, good luck me." -Tyrone encouraged Dipper.
- "I don't need luck. I have a plan." -Dipper left the room, decided to ask Wendy to dance, but again, something he didn't prevent happened. He found Wendy in the bathroom's line.
- "Oh! Hey man, What's up?" -She asked him when she saw him.
- "What are you doing here, I mean, wouldn't you rather be at the dance floor, in like exactly 42 seconds?" -He asked her smiling like a fool.
- "I'm just waiting for the bathroom."- Wendy said.
Dipper panicked and checked his plan. - "Ahm… Ehm… small talk… small talk… small talk!" -
- Hey! Let's see, everyone at this party gets stuck on a desert island, who do you think the leader would be?" -Wendy asked him.
- "I… uh…" -Dipper stuttered.
- "I think I'd go with this lunatic." -Wendy pointed to a man with a very peculiar way to dance and Dipper laughed, he put his plan away and picked a very tall guy.
- "I'd probably go for a stretch over there, because tall people can reach coconuts?" -And made Wendy laugh.
- "In the end, we know who would lead people in a desert island." -
- "Really? Who?" -
- "Ladybug, the Black Cat and Queen bee! Of course!" -Wendy signaled at both superheroes that were dancing happily.
- "Do you really think so?"-
- "Yeah! Of course! They have superpowers and are so cool! Sigh… I wonder why the Black Cat hasn't come yet?" -Wendy said with dreamy eyes and Dipper pouted at that, Wendy realized it and decided to cheer him up.
- "Do you want to see something. These are my three brothers and I'm, boop." -Wendy showed him a photograph of her family from when she was his age, and she looked, not as good as now.
- "HA! You were a freak!" -Dipper said without thinking and them put his hand over his mouth, but Wendy just nodded and smiled at him.
- "You know, kids used to make fun of my birthmark before I started hiding it all the time." -Dipper said without thinking.
- "Birthmark?" -Wendy asked him with curiosity.
- "Oh no! It's nothing… I… wa… I… Why did I say that?" -
- "No way dude! Now you have to show me. Show me! Show me! Show me!" -Wendy pushed.
Dipper took of his hat and pushed his hair away to show her his very particular birthmark.
- "The big Dipper! That's how you got your nickname! I thought your parents just hated you or something. Hey! I guess we're both freaks." -They both laughed.
Right after that, they saw Pacifica going out of the bathroom, she seemed upset.
- "Is everything ok Paz?" -Dipper asked her.
- "Why do you care?" -She answered angrily and left. Dipper could see a glimpse of tears in her eyes. He felt a rush of guilt and tried to go after her while Wendy was in the bathroom, but his clones cut his way.
- "Hey! What are you doing? Number 10 has been distracting Soos for fifteen minutes, he's gonna get tired of that dot eventually." -Tyrone scolded Dipper.
- "NEVER!" -They heard Soos say.
- "You won't believe it guys. I bumped into Wendy accidentally and things are actually going great. But now, Pacifica seems upset for something and I want to know why and try to cheer her up." -Dipper tried to go after her again but the clones stopped him.
- "That's nice, but not the plan, do we have to remind you?" -All of them pulled their copies of the plan and started to read it.
- "Oh man! You guys sound crazy. Look, maybe we don't need the plan anymore, maybe I could just go talk to her like a normal person. And Pacifica seems to need a friend right now so…" -Dipper said, but the clones didn't agree with him.
Tyrone spoke for all of them. - "If you're not gonna stick to the plan, maybe you shouldn't be the Dipper to dance with Wendy." -Clone number five said and the others agreed with him.
- "Guys, come on, we said we weren't gonna turn on each other." -Dipper tried to stop them.
- "I think we all knew we were lying." -Tyrone said and all the other clones attacked Dipper. He protested, but the clones grabbed him and pulled him to a closet and jailed him in there.
Dipper thought about what to do to get out of there. - "Ah! I can't breathe in here!" -He claimed.
- "Yes you can, plus there's snacks and a coloring book in there for you." -One of the clones said and Dipper sighed in defeat, he grabbed the snacks but kept hearing what the clones were saying.
- "Okay, so now that original Dipper or, 'Dipper classic' is no longer fit for it, I nominate myself to dance with Wendy instead. I've been around the longest, so it should be me, right? I mean, logically, logically." -Tyrone said.
- "Fair point, fair point, but we also have to get rid of that girl Pacifica, she's getting on the way of the plan, I mean, Dipper classic pays a lot of attention to her and that's a problem, right?" -Number ten said and all the clone agreed to it.
- "WAIT! WHAT?! NO! PLEASE NO! DON'T HURT PACIFICA! PLEASE!" -Dipper yelled in desperation and hitting the door.
- "Your desperation to protect her just give us more reasons to do it." -Number ten said in a creepy tone and the other clones agreed.
All the clones left, looking for Wendy and Pacifica. Dipper stayed there, thinking about what to do to protect Pacifica and Plagg came out to talk to him. - "So, making clones of yourself was a bad idea after all huh?" -He asked and mocked at the same time.
- "Leave it alone Plagg. I'm not in the mood." -Dipper just buried his face on his knees.
- "So good I took safety measures and stopped you from making copies of the cat ring, right?" -
- "Yeah! So good there aren't more mocking kwamis like you to make me feel even worst." -Dipper sighed in defeat.
- "Yeah, I'm the one and only Plagg, kwami of destruction, your partner, the one that gives you superpowers so you could break down this door easily and go to protect those important to you, like two beautiful girls that care a lot for you, one red-haired and other blond." -Plagg said looking straight at Dipper's eyes.
Dipper saw his ring on his hand. - "Sigh… sometimes I'm so dumb." -Dipper said smiling.
- "Yeah!... Sometimes…" -Plagg rolled his eyes.
- "PLAGG! CLAWS ON!" -Dipper transformed and broke the door to get out of there and look for Wendy and Pacifica. He got into the dance floor and was immediately surrounded by people that wanted an autograph or a dance, he excused himself and went on, looking for both girls, when he bumped into someone.
- "Oh! Hey! Black Cat! I thought you wouldn't come." -Ladybug greeted him happily, maybe it was the light, but the Black Cat could see her blushing a little. - "Wanna dance?" -She asked him.
- "Oh, I'd love to my lady, but right now I may have a problem." -He said taking her hand and smiling at her. - "Is Queen bee around here? I may need help from both of you." -He asked her.
She noticed that he was serious and smiled at him, she pointed at Queen bee, who was enjoy a lot, dancing with a boy. They went for her and tried to interrupt her dance, but she didn't stop.
- "Hey guys! What's up?" -She asked them while dancing. - "Wanna dance?" -She asked them.
- "Maybe later Queen bee, Black Cat says that there may be a problem going on and he needs our help." -Ladybug said trying to stop her but she didn't. - 'She reminds me of Mabel' -The Black Cat thought and then turned to see Mabel who was still competing with Pacifica, he sighed in relief after seeing Pacifica was fine, but then he saw two clones approaching to her and gulped. He just pulled Queen Bee and Ladybug's hands and dragged them with him, people were looking at them and started to mutter and gossip.
He went straight to Pacifica and greeted her, looking around and seeing the clones retreating. She blushed when she saw Black Cat approaching to her, but then she saw Queen Bee and Ladybug and got nervous. - "Wh… What's going on guys?" -She asked them.
- "You may be in danger girl, and we are here to protect you." -Black Cat said seriously and the three girls looked at him in a weird way. - "We better take you out of here. Go tell the DJ the party's over." -He ordered to Queen bee.
- "What?! No! We can't interrupt the party, that would seem suspicious." -Queen bee protested.
- "She's right. If this girl is in danger, we better hang out close to her to protect her." -Ladybug said.
- "Besides, I'm not leaving before dancing with someone in particular." -Pacifica said, looking straight at Ladybug.
- "This is not the time for…" -Black Cat wanted to protest but Pacifica interrupted him.
- "Listen, you may have danced with Ladybug already, but I'm still waiting for a guy to ask me to dance. I've been planning this for a while now, but he seems to like someone else. I don't expect for you to understand, but I really want to do this." -Pacifica explained.
The Black Cat sighed. - "Fine, but we'll be pretty close to keep you safe, ok?" -
- "And who's the guy?" -Queen bee asked.
- "I bet it's my brother." -Mabel got into the conversation, making Pacifica, Queen bee, Ladybug and the Black Cat blush. - "Oh look, there he comes." -Mabel pointed at Dipper, who was approaching to them and the Black Cat gulped.
Mabel went to him and talked a little while The Black Cat seemed more nervous by the second.
After a while, Mabel pushed Dipper to Pacifica. - "Go ahead, try it." -Mabel ordered him.
Dipper blushed really, really hard. - "Ahm… eh… Pa… Pacifica… erhm… w… would… would you like…. Ahm… to… to dance with… with me?" -Dipper asked her extending his hand to her.
Queen bee and Ladybug giggled while the Black Cat kept a hard look on Dipper, but Pacifica blushed and giggled.
- "I'd love to." -She answered and took his hand.
Another slow song started and they started to dance, Ladybug grabbed the Black Cat's hand and pulled him to the dance floor, she rounded her arms around his neck while he put his hands on her waist, but he kept watching at Dipper and Pacifica all the time.
- "Don't worry, she's fine, he'll never hurt her." -Ladybug said, dragging his attention to her.
- "He is not himself right now." -He said in a serious tone.
- "What do you mean?" -She asked him. But he said nothing. - "You like her, don't you?" -She asked again and he gulped.
- "Sigh… To be honest, I'm not totally sure about that right now. In this moment, I think I like three girls at the same time. And I don't know what to do." -He looked straight at her eyes all the time.
- "And who are those girls you like?" -
- "Well… There's this amazing girl named Wendy, she's just incredible. There's Pacifica, who is awesome too, and obviously, you, my lady. You're just fantastic. The three of you are just amazing, brave and beautiful girls, and I like the three of you a lot." -
- "What about Queen bee?" -
- "Well… She's amazing too, but I don't know, she kinda reminds me of someone I'm related to, so, I like her, but not in the same way I like you. Do you know what I mean?" -
- "I think I do." -She rested her head on his chest and both blushed and smiled. For a brief moment, there were just the two of them, nothing else mattered, just they, there, dancing, enjoying the moment.
When the song ended, they separated, smiling at each other, totally unaware that many people were taking photos and recording them dancing, they were the 'OTP couple" in Gravity Falls now.
- "You have to made up your heart, Black Cat." -Ladybug said smiling at him.
- "Don't you mean my mind?" -
- "Nope! This is a heart matters, mind has nothing to do at all, if you overthink it, you may lose everything. So, I say it again Black Cat, made up your heart."- Ladybug advised him and he nodded at her.
Then, someone grabbed the Black Cat's arm, it was Dipper. - "You were right, this is out of hand already." -The Black Cat read the number two on his hat, he nodded at him and followed him, both Ladybug and Queen bee saw them and decided to follow them too. On their way, Dipper and the Black Cat could see Wendy and Robbie flirting, at the other side of the room. - "Sigh… We blew it man!" -Both said.
Dipper led them to a hall, were all the clones kept Pacifica as a hostage. - "I thought you liked me." -She said while sobbing.
- "Oh! We like you, yeah. We like you out of the way." -Number ten said approaching to her with a knife, while two clones held her.
- "STAY AWAY FROM HER!" -Dipper said rushing over the clones and pushing them aside from Pacifica, he grabbed her hand and pulled her away.
- "What's going on?" -She asked him.
- "They're clones! Pretty bad clones of Dipper, he made us to help him to win a girl's heart, but they're messed up." -Dipper explained while running with Pacifica.
- "Wait! He made 'you'. Are you a clone too?" -She asked him.
- "Yes! I am the first clone he made, but I just wanted to help him with his plan, not to hurt someone else." -
- "But, if you're a clone, where's Dipper?" -
- "He's jailed in a closet, He's fine. And he's very worried for you. He begged me to help you and bring Ladybug and her friends." -
The clones chased them and one of them almost grabbed Pacifica by her shoulder, but a yo-yo hit him before he did it.
- "What's going on here?" -Ladybug asked, covering Dipper and Pacifica.
- "Why are there so many Dippers?" -Queen bee asked.
- "We're all clones from Dipper, made to help him to fulfill a plan, but they're corrupted." -Tyrone said while covering Pacifica.
The three heroes saw the clones approaching to them, ready to fight, they had all kind of blades and charged at them.
The Black Cat and Queen bee summoned their powers and used them over a couple of clones, defeating them instantly, but there were a bunch of clones left. They fought for a couple of minutes, while Tyrone and Pacifica ran away.
Ladybug summoned the lucky charm and a party popper fell on her hands. - "What is this for?" -She looked around and saw the fire protection system, she used the popper, and the smoke ignited the system. Water sprayed over them, and all the clones melted.
- "Phew! That was close. Who would have thought? The clones melted with water." -The Black Cat said smiling at the girls, they smiled too, their miraculous chirped.
- "Well, I guess our party is over now, we better leave before we change." -Queen bee said and they nodded at each other, before leaving, they saw how Soos gave the party crown to Pacifica.
- "This was a fun party guys, see you later." -Queen bee said and left, going to the forest.
- "I really enjoyed our dance Black Cat, think about what I said, ok." -Ladybug said and kissed him on the cheek before leaving.
The Black Cat jumped over the roof and found Tyrone there, he looked like being thinking.
- "My dance with her made me change my mind." -Tyrone said. The Black Cat changed back to Dipper and offered him a soda.
- "She's pretty special, right?" -
- "Yeah!" -They both took a sip from their sodas and Tyrone started to melt.
- "Oh no! Tyrone!" -
- "Don't worry man, I had fun, listen, you have to made up your mind before it's too late. DO IT FOR ME!" -Those were Tyrone's last words before melting.
- "Tyrone! You were the only one that understood." -Dipper dropped some soda over Tyrone's melted body.

Deep in the forest, Queen bee joined Mabel. - "Thanks for all your help, Mabel." -Queen bee said while turning into Mabel.
- "You have nothing to thank me, Mabel." -The other Mabel said while giggling.
- "So, What now? What are you going to do?" -Mabel asked her.
- "I'm a step ahead of you." -Mabel's clone said right before spraying a bottle of water over her.
- "WAIT! NO! WHY?!" -Mabel started to cry.
- "If I stay any longer, I'll corrupt and try to hurt you, this is the best for all of us." -Mabel's clone said while melting. - "Hang out with Candy and Grenda, they're great, I picked them for you. They're already waiting for you to make a sleepover. Ask Pacifica to join you too." -Mabel's clone melted.
Mabel stood up and went back to the Shack.
Somewhere else in the forest, Ladybug met with Pacifica.
- "Here, this is yours." -Pacifica said handing her the crown.
- "Thank you, why did you ask me to bring you a bottle of water?" -Ladybug said while taking the crown, handing her the bottle, and turning back into Pacifica.
- "If I stay any longer, I'll corrupt, like the other clones and I'll try to take your place in this world, by any mean necessary." -The clone explained.
- "So, this is a good bye uh?" -Pacifica sobbed.
- "Yes, it is, but don't feel bad, we made a lot of progress tonight." -
- "You think so?" -
- "Hell yeah! Now we know that Dipper cares for you, despite he's interested in Wendy too, we're certain that he cares for you. That's a lot of progress." -The clone said smiling and spraying the water over her. - "Go back to the Shack, Mabel's new friends are about to do a sleepover, maybe they'll invite you." -The clone melted and Pacifica nodded at her. She went back to the Shack.
- But now I'm confused too, who do I like the most, Dipper or The Black Cat?" -Pacifica wondered.
