A/N: Big thanks to Darklord331
The people that had attended the reading of McGucket's Will had all been placed into glass jars, gathered up and secured in a truck. They could see nothing but darkness after a black tarp had been placed over them all, which prevented them from knowing where they were. They were either asking questions to each other or doing their best not to panic. Some, however, couldn't help but panic.
"WHAT'S GOING ON?!" Durland wailed.
"I DON'T KNOW! HOLD ME, DURLAND!" Blubs blubbered.
"N-Now, calm down! There must be a reason for this!" Mayor Cutebiker spoke up, hoping to be the voice of reason. "Tambry, your phone's got a flashlight, right?"
"Yeah! Hang on." Tambry answered before she messed with her phone before a light came from it. "There we go." she said before shining it around at the other hostages that were trapped in glass jars. Her light was soon joined by others after they got it into their minds to bring out their own phones.
"Try calling someone! Anyone!" Mabel suggested.
"I've been trying! I can't get any signal for some reason!" Tambry growled.
"Same here. I can't call any of my friends or Tal." Gaz said as she tried calling with her own phone. A few others agreed after they tried with their phones as well.
"Can't you change and get out of your jar, Lily?" Wendy asked.
"I could become the wind and slip out through these air holes they gave us, but I don't want to know if their threat to shrink everyone else down to nothing if I try is true." Lily grumbled.
"Well at least we can see." Stan Pines huffed. "Who are these guys?!"
"And how did they shrink us? And where are they taking us?" Shannon asked as she and Fink tried to break out of their jar with their powers. Sadly, they didn't even scratch it.
"Either us being shrunk has made us weak, or this is some really tough glass." Fink huffed after reverting back from her Turbo form.
"I haven't a clue as to who they are, but I have a good idea as to how we've been shrunk." Ford spoke up. "Within the forest of Gravity Falls is a crystal formation that, when light passes through, has the power to alter the size of anything the light touches."
"They must've harvested a bunch of crystals and fixed them to flashlights like I did years ago." Dipper guessed.
"Size changing crystals? You live in a town your whole life, yet you still find something new about it every other day." Mayor Cutebiker chuckled before turning serious again. "Still, that only explains how they shrunk us. We still have quite a few other questions we need answers to."
Everyone suddenly stumbled or slammed into the glass as the sound of tires screeching filled the air before everything came to a stop. Everyone struggled to get up before they all felt their jars being lifted up by someone, with another barking orders to move the prisoners.
"I think we're about to get those answers." Parker said nervously as the darkness still kept them all in the...well, the dark. Everyone tried to keep steady as they were taken to an unknown place before everything went still. Suddenly, the tarp was yanked off, allowing light to temporarily blind everyone. A moment after getting reused to sunlight, the people looked around to see that they were all at...
"Ye Royal Discount Putt Hutt?" Mabel asked after recognizing the place.
"Where now?" Luan asked.
"It's a mini golf course." Dipper answered. "But why were we brought here?"
"Because this is where it all began!"
Everyone turned to see the leader of the cloaked men standing before the 14th hole, the Mines, her back to the crowd as she continued.
"This is where a grim tragedy struck. A horrible catastrophe had befallen this once whimsical land of miniature golf!" she said dramatically. "A catastrophe caused..." she said before suddenly jumping high into the air, backflipped, and landed before the jarred citizens before the jars holding Mabel and Pacifica. "BY YOU TWO!"
"Us? What'd we do?!" Mabel asked.
"HOW CAN YOU LOOK ME IN THE EYE AND SAY THAT?!" the leader yelled as she looked Mabel in the eye and Pacifica...in the back of the head. "Hey...HEY!" the woman yelled when she noticed Pacifica ignoring her. "I'M TALKING TO YOU!"
"The deal is off."
Mabel looked at Pacifica as the stared down at the jar containing her father, who was looking up at her in worry.
"I heard you say that to Mr. Northwest back in the mansion." she said before turning to the cloaked woman. "What did you mean 'the deal is off?'" she asked.
"Excuse me?! Who do you think you are trying to get answers from me?! If anything, the only one answering for anything is gonna be you!" the cloaked woman yelled. "DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO I AM?! DO YOU NOT KNOW WHY YOU'RE HERE?!"
"Uh, boss?" one of the cloaked minions spoke up. "We're big, we're wearing cloaks to hide our faces and nobody outside our society knows what happened since it wasn't discussed with anyone."
"YOU...make a good point." the leader admitted before putting the two jarred woman back with the others. "I was going to wait for the others to arrived with the rest of the captives, but I'll tell you all now and let them fill in the blanks for themselves later." She then snapped her fingers, causing the cloaked individuals to bring their hoods down, revealing large, colorful headed people.
"Wait a second. Are you guys...Lilliputtians?!" Dipper asked.
"That's right~" the leader sang before removing her own hood, showing a yellow faced woman with brunette hair in pigtails. "And I'm the one leading them!" she said before laughing maniacally. "By the way, my name's Polly."
"You mean the little people that live inside this miniature golf course?" Ford asked before continuing. "Why did you shrink us and bring us here?"
"Yeah? Didn't you say you came for McGucket's Will and Pacifica over there?" asked Manly Dan.
"Yeah. About that?" Polly began before she took the flash drive containing McGucket's Will from one of her associates. She then dropped it on the ground and, to the horror of many, crushed it under her foot. "I lied."
"NOOOOO! THE WILL!" Priscilla screamed before turning towards the cowering Fergenson. "PLEASE TELL US THAT THERE'S A COPY OF IT SOMEWHERE!"
"S-Sorry! There was only the one!" the lawyer answered from where he was curled up in his jar.
"THAT WAS OUR LAST HOPE!" Preston yelled before looking up at Polly. "WHY?! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO US?!"
"What exactly has she done? And what did she mean when she said the deal was off?" Pacifica asked with a glare, making Preston sweat.
"She means that she's done helping Preston with his scam." Stan suddenly piped in. Everyone turned to him for an explanation. "What? It's simple. McGucket adopted Pacifica, which meant there's a good chance she'd be in his will. Northwest here, who disowned her years ago, wants her back, but she still hates him. He hires a bunch of people to kidnap her and steal McGucket's will just so he can stop them and expose the fake gun trick to make himself a hero to her by rescuing her, thereby earning his place in her heart and let herself be a Northwest again, allowing Preston access to any money she inherited from McGucket."
The people were all looking at him in shock after his long explanation.
"I ran the Mystery Shack for 30 years and sold overpriced junk. I know cons." he stated.
"Well that's just...perfect!" Polly growled. "Thank you so much for ruining my big reveal!"
"You were taking forever." Stan deadpanned.
"I WAS BUILDING UP TO-grk! No! No..." she said as she took a few calming breaths. "Okay...I'm good." she muttered before turning to them all. "As the old hugeling explained, we were indeed hired by Preston Northwest to fake a kidnapping and take a dive to make him look good to everyone, especially his daughter, Pacifica."
The moment that Polly confirmed it, all eyes turned towards a very nervous looking Preston and Priscilla.
"N-Now hold on just a moment! Are you really going to believe these Lilliputtians?!" Preston asked. "They're lying! They could-"
"...bastard..."
The word was so quiet, yet it felt like it was screamed at the top of someone's lungs.
"You bastard." Pacifica repeated, a tint of red coming to her face as she glared at Preston. "Was it all a lie?" she asked. "All that talk about how I 'come before anything else' and how you 'didn't care about the money.' Was any of that true?!"
"O-Of course, Pacifica! We truly do care for you!" Preston said with a weak smile.
"YOU LIAR! IF IT WAS TRUE, THEN WHY CAN'T YOU LOOK ME IN THE EYE AND SAY IT?!" she yelled, her face red with tears in her eyes. "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU TWO! FIRST YOU TRY TO FORCE ME INTO MARRYING SOME RANDOM RICH KID! THEN YOU KICK ME OUT WHEN I REFUSE! AND FINALLY, WHEN I WON'T COME BACK TO YOU WILLINGLY, YOU PULL THIS KIND OF SHIT TO TRY AND GET ME BACK!? I BET IF MR. MCGUCKET HADN'T ADOPTED ME, YOU TWO WOULD STILL BE ACTING LIKE I NEVER EXISTED!" She punched the side of the jar that was facing Preston, the man in question earning more glares from the other citizens. "YOU WANT TO KNOW THE WORST PART?! FOR ONE MOMENT, I ACTUALLY THOUGHT THAT YOU HAD CHANGED! BUT NOW I SEE THAT YOU'RE STILL THE SAME! JUST A ROTTEN PIECE OF GARBAGE THAT ONLY CARES KEEPING HIS MONEY AND FALSE REPUTATION!"
"False reputation?" Ford asked before his eyes widened. "Are you talking about-"
"THAT'S RIGHT! THE NORTHWEST FAMILY NEVER FOUNDED GRAVITY FALLS! IT WAS ALL A LIE THAT THE NORTHWEST FAMILY HAS BEEN RIDING ON FOR ALL THESE YEARS!" Pacifica revealed, much to the shock of the townspeople.
"We are in so much trouble." Durland whispered, earning a 'Shh!' from Blubs.
"Pacifica! Stop this!" Preston ordered.
"NO! YOU ARE NOT THE BOSS OF ME! I AM NOT GOING TO STOP WHILE YOU TRY TO STEAL MCGUCKET'S MONEY! YOU ALREADY HAVE YOUR OWN! ISN'T THAT ENOUGH FOR YOU?!" Pacifica snapped. She then glared up at Polly when she began to laugh. "IS MY PAIN FUNNY TO YOU?!"
"Very. But that's not why I'm laughing." Polly answered.
"Hey, Polly! I'm back!" a Lilliputtian with an orange head and a small scar above his left eye announced before digging into his cloak and pulling out a stack of papers. "And I got what you asked for! Also, the others are on their way."
"Good. Bring it here." Polly ordered.
"Bring what? What is all that?" Ford asked as the Lilliputtian gave the papers to Polly.
"Just a little something my underling here picked up from Preston Northwest's home." she answered before looking at one of the pieces of mail. "Correction. Former home."
"What are you...Oh no...Not those! Please, not that!" Preston began to beg.
"What? Don't want anyone else to see this?" Polly asked. "Well since you asked so nicely, I guess I can just tear up these oops!" she said as she tossed the mail at the crowd, allowing the papers to flutter about and land amongst the jars.
"What is all this?" Wendy asked as the citizens all began to look at the papers.
"Wait a second." Blubs said as he read the paper before him. "Your home's being repossessed by the bank?"
"This says that you haven't paid your water bill for the last three months." Wednesday announced.
"And this is an overdue rental fee for that fancy suit and dress shop the next town over." said Stan.
"But...that doesn't make any sense." Pacifica muttered before her eyes widened. "Wait a minute. Overdue bills, loss of house, the mud flap factory was recently demolished..." She turned her attention back to her sweating parents. "Are you two...having money troubles?"
"Trouble, nothing!" Polly laughed. "The Northwest family is completely broke!"
The area grew so quiet, you could've heard the word 'broke' echo everywhere.
"Broke?" Toby Determined asked. "You mean flat broke?!"
"That's right. Broke. Bankrupt. Destitute. Poor!" Polly ranted. "They have absolutely no money at all!"
The angry glares that were on the Northwests were now ones of absolute shock.
"No-Now hold on one dog-gone second here!" Bud Gleeful said after snapping out of it. "How could the Northwest family have run out of money?! They're the wealthiest family in Gravity Falls!"
"Were the wealthiest." Prisicilla admitted, tears in her eyes as she fell to her knees. "It's all true! We're out of money!" she sobbed.
"Yes...It's all gone." Preston admitted shamefully.
"And...And..." Priscilla got out before glaring at Preston. "AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!"
"Wha-My fault!?" Preston said indignantly.
"You're the one who kept wasting our money on all those investments! None of them went anywhere!" Priscilla reminded him.
"Oh, and the one investment you put money in was going to be great?!" Preston snapped.
"At least mine lasted longer than any of yours! You put 10 million into one that turned out to be a PONZI SCHEME!" Priscilla roared.
"WELL AT LEAST I DIDN'T DEVELOP A GAMBLING PROBLEM TRYING TO WIN OUR MONEY BACK!" Preston hollered.
Everyone watched as Preston and Priscilla continued to yell about their money problems and blamed it on each other.
"Should we stop this?" a green Lilliputtian asked.
"Nah. This is funny." a red one answered with a chuckle.
"SILENCE!" Polly screamed, silencing the bickering Northwests. "I didn't have you all brought here to talk about your inability to hold on to money! I brought you all here to have my revenge!"
"Didn't you say that it was those two that you wanted revenge against?!" Marcus Corduroy asked while pointing at Mabel and Pacifica.
"Yeah! Plus, we've never met! Why would you want revenge on all of us?!" Kevin Corduroy added.
"Uh...What they said!" Gus Corduroy finished.
"You're all part of the revenge. And the reason for that, which I know you'll all ask about, is simple. Many of you are their friends and/or family! And that makes you all guilty of association!" Polly explained.
"You haven't explained what they're guilty of!" Stan yelled.
"Indeed! What could these two have done that warrants all this?!" Ford asked. Polly looked ready to yelled before a large Lilliputtian whispered in her ear, making her smile.
"Good." she said to them before turning to the crowd of captives. "Since you asked, I'll tell you. It was years ago, at this very miniature golf course, that a certain competition was held. A competition that we Lilliputtians were asked to assist in."
"Oh no!" Mabel groaned before glaring at Polly. "Is this because I ate the sticker instead of giving it to you guys?"
The large Lilliputtians stiffened as Polly's eyes shot wide open.
"...sticker?" she asked in a low tone, her breathing becoming deep and heavy. "You think...all of this...is because...of a lousy sticker?!" she growled out before grabbing Mabel's jar and holding her up in the air. "You think...that I spent all these years hating you two...and plotting my revenge on you two...and this whole town that loves you two...FOR A LOUSY STICKER?!"
"Uh...not anymore!" Mabel eeked out in fright. Polly merely breathed through grit teeth before throwing the jar towards one of the other large Lilliputtians.
"Put them all with the others!" Polly ordered as she stormed off. "I'm gonna check and see if everything's in place!"
"Yes Ma'am!" the other Lilliputtians obeyed before they gathered all the jars and took them inside a warehouse that stored various mini golf rental bags, balls and other sorts of items and placed them amongst many more glass jars, all filled with Lilliputtians of various mini golf buildings.
"Don't get too comfy. When Polly cools off, things are gonna heat up for you guys." a large red Lilliputtian chuckled.
"Nice one." said a large green headed one.
"Boo." Luan booed, catching their attention. "That was lame."
"Oh shut up! You're small!" one snapped before they both left.
"Hi! Welcome to the beginning of the end!" Franz greeted, making the shrunken humans look at the Lilliputtians.
"Wait? They put you guys in jars too?!" Pacifica asked.
"Does that mean the Miners won the war?" Dipper asked. The Lilliputtians all looked at each other before they started to laugh.
"That war ended after an incident inside the golf course." Franz answered.
"Really?" Mabel asked.
"Arr, tis true, lass!" said the leader of the Pirate hole. "While we still have a rivalry of which hole is the master of the balls, it not be as severe as it was!"
"The pirate speaketh the truth!" said the leader of the Castle hole. "We now only cross blades in more of a friendly competition!"
"That's great! Still, looks like the miners have gone off the rails." said Dipper.
"Do not be so sure, 'ugeling." said an Eiffel Tower Lilliputtian as he pointed at the miners in their own jars.
"You guys too? So, you're not with Polly?" Pacifica asked.
"No." said the leader of the Miner Lilliputtians. He was an old Lilliputtian with a grey moustache, glasses and a miner's helmet on his orange head. "She and many others from our hole captured us along with the others a few days ago." he said as he gestured to his fellow miners with his cane. "Those of us here are the ones who refused to help her with her pointless revenge."
"Speaking of revenge, could you tell us why this is happening?" Fink asked. "None of your large friends have told us anything." The mention of revenge made the miners all look downhearted as their leader sighed.
"Years ago, on the day of that competition between Mabel and Pacifica, that the life of Big Henry, the biggest Lilliputtian in the entire land of Ye Royal Discount Putt Hutt, was lost." he began. "When Mabel took her turn and we were helping her win her competition-"
"Wait a second. You were cheating?" Ford asked in disappointment.
"Yeah. I admitted I did and Pacifica won." Mabel answered, her mood becoming downcast.
"Can I resume?!" the Miner leader yelled. When no one spoke up, he continued. "We had just gotten the ball and were about to escort it through the path before I stopped everyone. There had been a lethal gas leak and anyone who went through it would've died."
A lot of the people gasped at that.
"But my ball went through!" Mabel exclaimed. "But...that means-"
"Yes. Someone pushed your ball through that gas leak. That someone...was Big Henry." the Miner leader said, his tone containing nostalgia and sorrow. "He was the biggest, the strongest, the sturdiest Lilliputtian in the Miner-no, the whole mini golf course! He singlehandedly pushed that minecart containing your ball through the gas and into the elevator before sending it up. And it was shortly after that that the gas took it's toll on Big Henry...He died that very day."
Mabel gasped as she and Pacifica teared up after that story, along with many others.
"After that, we had a cease fire to allow the miners to mourn Big Henry." Franz explained. "During that time, we saw the misery coming the miners and had a moment of self-reflection."
"Arr, we asked ourselves, 'All this fer a sticker? What next?'" said the Pirate leader.
"And the young Polly's cries throughout the day of the service tore through our hearts like a thousand blades!" the Knights leader exclaimed in sorrow.
"Each of us still wanted prove zat we were ze master of ze balls, but nobody wanted to ze anymore bloodshed or to hear another child's cry." the Eiffel Tower leader said, a tear in his eye.
"So we all came together and signed a peace treaty. We still have our little bouts and disagreements, but we've all agreed to keep our blades and anger in check." Franz finished. "So you see...you okay?" he asked when he noticed Mabel and Pacifica's expressions.
"I can't believe it." Mabel muttered as she slid down against the glass until she was sitting. "Our competition...it..."
"It killed someone." Pacifica finished through a shuddering breath.
"NOW CUT THAT OUT!" the lead Miner yelled, startling everyone. "WE ALREADY GOT ENOUGH PROBLEMS WITH POLLY BELIEVIN' THAT HOGWASH!"
"But our competition-"
"BUT NOTHING!" the miner interrupted before calming down. "Now I'm gonna tell you two the same thing that I told Polly, and all the other miners of hole 14. It. Was. Not. Your. Fault! I warned everyone to stay out because of that gas leak. Big Henry ignored my warning and did it anyway. That means Big Henry's death was caused by Big Henry, and that's that!" he finished before sighing again. "Listen, I may sound harsh, but it's because it's the truth. Plus, I don't want you two to devolve into insanity and denial, like Polly did."
"Hang on. If she didn't accept Big Henry's death, then why did she wait so long to take revenge?" Blubs asked.
"She was only a little child then." the Miner leader answered. "She knew he was gone and she had accepted it...for a while. It's only after we found Big Henry did things turn south. We discovered that he died clutching a drawing she made of the two of them. We hadn't noticed at the time, but anger had mixed in with her sorrow. As time went by, she started asking questions. 'Why did Big Henry have to die?' 'Why aren't the two hugelings that started the tournament being punished?' and so on. I kept telling her that it was Big Henry's decision, but she wouldn't accept it. She could never believe that it was his fault."
"She was upset that someone close to her was gone and needed an outlet. I remember hating myself when I lost my brother." Stan spoke up, making Ford frown sadly at him. "She needed to blame someone, so she chose my niece and Pacifica. Right?"
"Correct. But it's more than that. As time went on, her anger grew." the Miner leader answered. "She kept her distance a lot and rarely spoke to anyone. And when she heard visiting golfers say anything about Mabel or Pacifica, she'd fly into a rage before disappearing for days." He sighed again as he sat down to rest his legs. "I should've seen this coming. I knew something was amiss with her, but I thought it was just her going through grief. I didn't know it would turn into something-
thud
"...big?" the Miner leader said after a loud thud shook the warehouse a little.
thud
"W-What's going on now?!" Lazy Susan asked as the warehouse shook some more, the people in the jars all trying to stay on their feet.
Thud!
"Whatever it is, dudes, I think it's getting closer!" Soos yelled.
Thud! THUD! THUD!
The last thud threw everyone off their feet, with some of the jars being knocked over from the force of whatever was making the earth tremble.
"BRING THEM OUT!" Polly's voice boomed from outside, making everything shake. The warehouse doors were opened a moment later, allowing a group of large Lilliputtians to rush in and gather up the jars of protesting people. They brought them all back outside and placed them amongst another group of jars full of familiar faces and creatures.
Lynn, Nate, Lee, Thompson, Haiku, the Unicorns, Mindy, Mandy, the Manotaurs, the Multi-Bear, an unconscious Susie, Robbie, Robbie's parents, the gnomes, and many others.
"Where did you get all these glass jars?" Shannon asked.
"Been collecting them from trash cans and recycling bins." a large Lilliputtian answered. "We cleaned them, but may have missed a few."
"No wonder my jar smells like day old pickles." Bud commented before looking around. "Where's Polly? We all heard her, but she's gone."
"Over here~"
Everyone turned their eyes back towards the warehouse in confusion. Confusion that soon turned into shock and terror as Polly stood up from behind it, towering over them all like the giant she had become.
"TREMBLE IN FEAR, CITIZENS OF GRAVITY FALLS! YOUR TOWN IS UNDER MY CONTROL! AND WHEN I'M DONE WITH IT, I SHALL SPREAD MY RAGE TO OTHERS! ALL SHALL SUFFER UNDER THE MIGHT OF BIG POLLY!" she declared before she started cackling maniacally, making most of the prisoners quake in fear. Some stood in defiance, despite feeling scared as well. "Ahhhh, laughing like that is fun."she said before looking down at them all again. "Now, to answer why I brought you all here. It was years ago, in this very mini golf course, that-
"We know. You want to avenge Big Henry's death." Shannon huffed. "Those other miner Lilliputtians explained it while you were away."
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?! I'VE BEEN PREPARING THAT SPEECH FOREVER!" Polly yelled in anger before running her hands down her face. "You know what? Forget it! Let's just get this started already!" she groaned before snapping her fingers. "Bring them to the Miner Hole!"she barked. One of the large Lilliputtians nodded before they reached into the array of jars and pulled out the one with Dipper in it.
"DIPPER!" Mabel and many others yelled as Dipper was pulled out of his jar and placed before the Miner's hole. "What are you doing?! What are you making Dipper do?! I thought you wanted revenge on me and Pacifica!"
"I do want revenge on you two, and this is a perfect warm-up." Polly grinned. "I'm going to have Dipper here retrace Big Henry's final footsteps through the same gas leak that ended his life!"
"WHAT?! NO! WHY?!" Mabel yelled, tears of fear running down her face.
"BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME PAIN I FELT WHEN BIG HENRY WAS TAKEN FROM US!" Polly snapped before looking down at Pacifica. "It's too bad you and Dipper split up. It'd make this twice as fun. Oh well. Just another thing to blame your dad for."
"Wait, what?!" Pacifica yelped as Polly turned to Dipper.
"There's a minecart with a golf ball inside that hole. Push it to the end and send it up to the elevator. That'll signal us that you made it. And you better make it. Otherwise, I'll have them shrink your sister's legs until her own weight crushes them like twigs." Polly ordered.
"You monster!" Stan yelled as he smashed his fists against the glass. He wasn't the only one outraged as many others began to beat against their prison jars.
"Ah, pipe down! Besides, all of you will be going after him." Polly huffed before turning to Dipper. "What are you standing around for? Get in that hole!"
"NO! DIPPER, DON'T DO IT!" Mabel begged as she beat her fists against the glass. "POLLY! PLEASE! LEAVE HIM ALONE! YOU WANTED ME, RIGHT?! JUST TAKE ME! PLEASE!"
"Do you love your brother that much?" Polly asked in a neutral tone.
"YES!" Mabel answered.
"Do you want him to live that badly?"
"YES!"
"You would take his place to save his life?"
"I WOULD!" Mabel answered.
"Mabel..." Dipper muttered, his eyes getting a little misty.
Polly stared down at the crying mess that was Mabel Pines, the poor woman's crying eyes begging her to have mercy on Dipper.
"I wanted the same thing with Big Henry." Polly said before glaring at Mabel. "But I didn't get it, and neither will you. Do it!"she ordered. The Lilliputtian that put Dipper down on the ground gently pushed Dipper into the hole, making him scream as he fell into the darkness.
"DIPPERRRRRRR!" Mabel wailed in agony as she beat her fists against the glass. Even when the others exhausted themselves trying to escape, she kept on beating the glass and screaming her brother's name so loud that it nearly tore her throat. Her strength finally gave out as she fell to her knees, her sobbing drowning out the crying coming from many of the other prisoners.
"Hurts, don't it?" Polly asked. "And that hurt you're feeling? It'll never go away. And I'm going to enjoy watching you feel that pain every day for the rest of your life."
Mabel turned a hateful gaze up at Polly before she screamed at the top of her lungs.
"I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU FOR THIS! YOU BIG, ROTTEN, YELLOW HEADED GOLF BALL BITCH!" she roared.
"Hehehe. I said the same thing to myself a few years back. Minus the whole 'golf ball head' bit." Polly chuckled cruelly before they saw the ball come out of the Miner's home and fall into the hole. "Well, look at that. He made it through. I wonder if he's thinking of you...with his last breath." Mabel didn't even respond, her gaze on the hole before she hung her head, her heart broken. "No response? You're no fun. Whatever. Get the ball and set it up for the next prisoner!"
The large Lilliputtian obeyed and grabbed the ball, but stopped halfway through bringing it back.
"Uh, Polly? There's some writing on the ball." the Lilliputtian stated.
"What?" Polly asked in confusion. "Probably a farewell note from Dipper to his sister. What does it say?"
"Uh, let's see." the Lilliputtian muttered as he squinted his eyes at the ball. "It says...Eiffel Tower."
"Eiffel Tower?" Polly parroted.
"YEAH! IT LOOKS LOVELY FROM UP HERE!"
Everyone turned towards the Eiffel Tower hole to see...
"I BET THE REAL THING'S A WHOLE LOT BETTER!"
Everyone's jaws dropped as two figures were sitting near the top of the Eiffel Tower prop. One being a shrunken Lucy, the other was-
"DIPPER?!" everyone yelled in shock.
"HI GUYS!" Dipper yelled back with a wave.
"DIPPER!" Mabel cried out in joy.
"HE'S ALIVE!" Stan yelled with a big smile as he and the other jarred citizens all began to celebrate.
"THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! HOW DID YOU ESCAPE?!" Polly asked, absolutely gobsmacked at seeing Dipper alive and well.
...thud...thud...Thud!...
"Sorry, but you've got bigger things to worry about!" Lucy yelled out to Polly as the ground began to shake at close intervals. Polly blinked before her pupils shrunk in horror. She and everyone else turned to see a figure as big as Polly approach from within the forest.
"Is that...?" Lynn asked.
"It can't be!" Thompson yelled.
"...It is." Luan whispered with wide eyes as the figure stood tall opposite of the mini golf course.
"I'm only going to say this once." Maggie warned. "LET. MY. FRIENDS. GO!"
