" Dipping Sauce , do it!"
" No !" She dodged his advances ."You try this every year!"
" And I'm going to win this time !" He lunged . " Suse , Will , help me !"
" If you help him , you're fired !"
" Don't be such a stick in the mud !" He waved her matching devil's costume in the air . " You did it when we were eight , why's now any different?"
" I know realize how ridiculous it is to dress up in matching costume with your idiot twin brother like a moron !"
" I see how it is ." He sulkily walked out .
" Lady-bro , don't you think-"
" He'll be fine ." She stiffly sat down .
" Candy , Grendo , I'm going to need your help tonight ."
Will looked up from polishing the silverware . Was that miss Gleeful screaming? That was a rare occurrence.
Abel nodded. Excellent.
" You freaks ! You can't just kidnap me and change me into this idiotic get up without asking!"
Abel shrugged. " We had Suse check to see if you had on modest underclothes , it's fine ."
" Which is still extremely unnerving!"
" Aw, Dipper ." Candy cooed in his thick accent . " You two look so cute !"
" And stylish ! You guys are going to be killing it with the boys and girls tonight!" Grendo boomed .
" I don't want to "kill it " . What happened to that ball we used to throw? That was civilized at least ."
" Dipper , we're growing up fast." Abel squished her face between his hands . " We should appreciate the time we have left ."
" Totally true, dudes ." Suse munched on candy from a bowl .
" How did you check to see if I was wearing clothes underneath? I'm disgusted but curious ."
" It's a mystery , dudes !" Suse tugged at her pro wrestler costume.
" You can't just say that to any question you don't want to answer!"
" Ew ." Candy picked at Suse's bowl . " This is loser candy ."
" Hey , be careful! The Summerween trickster is prowling around for children like yourself, children who criticize -"
" Pure crap ." Abel gagged . " Will , throw this stuff out ."
" Geez , we have a chocolatier on speed dial for a reason ." Will heard from the open window as he threw out the candy . He bristled . Was that heavy breathing ?
" Hello?" He called out into the darkness .
Nothing.
Just to be safe , he sprinted inside .
Meanwhile inside an argument refused to die down. " Dipper Sauce , why is it so lame to have fun with your brother? So what if trick or treating is childish? Isn't it just important we have fun together?"
" Abel , it's not -"
Bong !
"The doorbell ?" Abel cocked his head . " We haven't taken trick or treaters in years ."
Dipper sighed. " I'll take care of it ."
" You tell them girl !" Grendo bet his hands against the floor . " Tell them ! Tell them !"
" Do stop ." Dipper opened the door to see a horribly disfigured creature that resembled a huge knobby scarecrow that was hastily put together. " We don't accept trick or treaters ."
" But wait -"
Dipper slammed the door.
" Wait . Won't this be a good way to get in the Summerween spirit? Like in the old days !"
The doorbell rang again .
" Just go to another house!" Dipper's voice raised before she slammed the door again.
" Dipper !" Abel made way to the door . " That was so rude !" He opened the door . " I'm sorry about my sister . She has an extreme case of the grumpy-grumps , more than usual !"
" Silence!" The figure pointed at them ." You have insulted me ! And for this you must pay ...with your lives !"
Abel laughed stiffly. " What a cute little mask , you're a funny guy aren't you ?"
" Funny ? I'm funny , am I ?" The figure stepped into the room , his body impossibly tall .
" Trick or treat! My name is Gorny !" A young boy said from the open doorway . That proved to be a mistake, as the figure snatched him up and shoved him inside his huge gaping mouth .
"Remember me !" Gorny echoed.
Dipper shook her head . Why does nobody understand , we don't accept trick or treaters!
"There's only one way to avoid his fate ." The figure tapped Candy's head , causing him to cling to Dipper ." You must collect five hundred pieces of candy , or else !"
" But that's impossible!"
" Bring me these things before the last jacko-melon goes out ." He softly blew out a flame. " And I will allow you to live. The choice is yours .You must trick or treat...or die ." He stepped out and launched himself on the roof , scuttling out of sight , his laughter hanging in the air .
" Do you know what this means?"
" Yeah ." Abel breathed. " It means you're going trick or treating with us !"
"Don't worry , Dip !" Abel was forced to jog to keep up with her . " I brought extra reinforcements !"
" You mean ...you invited Northwest?'
" And Gal ." He rolled his eyes .
She looked down at herself and groaned. " He'll never let me live this down !"
" You're probably right . Hey , there they are !"
" So you got death threats from …"
" The legend Suse told us about! The Summerween trickster !"
" And in order for you to survive …"
" We need five hundred pieces of candy , yeah."
" How did this happen ?" Gal raised a brow .
" My sister was an absolute jerk ."
" I can believe that ." Pacific snorted.
" Shut up. Let's just get this over with !"
Gal rubbed her neck . " But what if we don't collect it? Will we all be eaten by t-that thing ?"
" Hey ." Abel rested his chin on the top of her head . " I know a lot of people would find being cursed by bloodthirsty Holiday monster a bad thing ."
" It is !" Dipper raised her voice.
" But I'll tell you this, that monster messed with wrong crew !" He pointed to his sister . " Spiteful and wants to be here for as little time as possible!"
" He pointed to Grendo . " Could fight a manotaur and win !"
Grendo blushed.
" Candy's spirited , Pacific's tough and determined !"
" And us ? " He gestured to himself and Gal . " I'm charming as heck plus ahem handsome ,and you're the most adorable creature in the universe, and together we form the most awesome power couple ever !" He pumped his fist in the air " Not only will we get that candy , but we'll have fun doing it , even if it takes all night!"
Everyone cheered , everyone except Dipper. " All night?" She groaned.
Pacific looked at his watch . " She has a point . "
Gala pouted. " They're our friends , Patz !"
" Hmm." Abel leaned more of his weight on her . " I'm your friend, aren't I Patz ?"
" Don't call me that . Let's just go ."
" Dippity-dop,twins!" The biker at the door shed a tear before dumping the entire bowl of candy in their sacks .
They ran away laughing , Dipper's being much more forced . " This is humiliating!"
" Suck it up ,Dip ! These Hicks eat it up ! "
" Why can't we just buy the candy ?"
" That kinda takes the fun out of trick or treat or die ." Abel rung the doorbell.
" I want to take the die out of trick or treat or die ." She and Abel posed .
" Trick or treat!"
" We'll steal your soul." Dipper gestured to their costumes.
' And your heart!" Abel winked.
Their sacks were flooded within a second.
They joined their group (which had the recent addition of Suse )." I don't know if I'm up for this ." Dipper groaned.
"Oh really?" The streetlamp above flickered , revealing the monster who was perched on top . The creature landed on Suse as soft as a falling leaf and began to scrutinize a piece of candy ." Hmm. I've seen better."
He flipped over , grabbing a jack o'melon and landing on a roof ."Tick tock." He whispered before blowing it out .
As soon as he was out of sight, everyone turned to glare at Dipper . " You were saying?"
" Everyone, we have to step up our game . Using our town influence and twin factor is well and fine , but we have more to exploit."
Cute canon couple act
The resident opened their door to see a purring Abel nuzzling Gal , who was trying her best to match his affection.
" Oh , hi'ya !" She chirped with her southern twang .
The residents burst into tears before hugging the already embracing couple . " You two are so happy and loving! Just like how Henry and I weren't…" She then gave them huge handfuls of candy. " Go on , have fun you two , while you can !"
" We completely plan to , Madam . May you find true love and joy as well ." Abel sighed blissfully.
The woman tearfully retrieved a pack of gum from her purse and threw it into their basket before closing the door.
" See , told you it would work . She's had her heart broken many times before and now everytime she sees a couple even half as perfect as us she bursts into tears and attempts to make the couple's day ."
" You were right." She grinned. " But I'm sure it was my ascent that sold it . It always does. You can get off now , she's gone ."
He snuggled closer."No."
Noncanon ship that the people want
" Just act natural. " Abel hissed and pushed them forward .
" I'm trying!" They growled back in unison . While they were holding hands , they were trying to be as far apart as possible. Pacific leaned forward and rang the doorbell with a sigh . A young girl opened the door.
" Trick or treat !" They said through gritted teeth .
The girl stared wide-eyed before putting her hands on her cheeks and squealing " Aw , Dipcific !"
Everyone snickered from the sidewalk .
' Yes.' Dipper plastered on a smile. " May we receive our candy ?"
The girl didn't close their door after they walked away , forcing them to continue holding hands.
"Gwiyeobda ."Candy breathed before snapping a photo . "So shippable ."
" Delete that !" Dipper growled .
"Nope."
Rivals to ( borderline) friends
" Our relationship has had a rocky start to be certain." Abel had his arms wrapped around Pacific from behind. " But with a mutual love for Gal (even though I love her more ) we have bonded together . " Abel leaned his head against his and sighed against his neck .
" If our lives weren't on line I would totally deck you ." Pacific hissed from the side of his mouth.
" Then what?" He teased .
As soon as the door shut Abel received a strong hit to the stomach.
" No." Pacific stalked off .
" Worth it ."
"Thirty-four , thirty-five-"
" Thirty -six ." Candy sat in the wheelbarrow ."
" Twenty-three , Twenty-four - two hundred and twenty four !'
Another resident blew out their jack o'melon .
Everyone was racing about , with Dipper stopping occasionally to tally up . " Come on ,come on…" By then everyone had perfected their acts , but still…
"Four-ninety-eight , four-ninety-nine ! All we need is one more !" Gal looked over Dipper's shoulder at the notepad , before squeezing Pacific . " We're not going to be eaten alive !"
" Awesome dudes ! I love when we survive the horrifying intentions of the chapter's antagonist !'
" What ?"
" I'm going to go grab the truck. Suse , away !'
" Last one back to the house is a pair of wax lips !'
" No , not me !" Grendo barreled past everyone.
Pacific stayed behind to drag the wheelbarrow . " Perfect ." He checked his watch ." I can go to the party Rob was talking about and no one will suspect a thing-" Suddenly a car with the exact last people he wanted to see rounded the corner. Pacific hid the wheelbarrow in the bushes, but what to do with his costume...
" Hey Patz ! " Rob called out .
" Oh , hi Rob ( she hated her full name) ." He waved nonchalantly while kicking his costume in the bush .
" You coming to the party?" She leaned out of the window.
" What are you doing out here?" Wendal (or Wend )asked with malice .
" Just watching the trick or treaters, it reminds me of my childhood . You can relate, right Wendal ?"
" Don't ever call me that again ."
" Okay then . So you're coming?"
" Definitely." He awkwardly finger-gunned.
" See you there ." The car swerved around the corner.
" That's why you were acting so weird .Pacific turned to see Gal staring coldly with the rest of their friends. " That's the reason why you tried to squirm out of getting in a costume earlier. If there wasn't for that monster… " Grendo and Candy oohed . " You used to love Halloween. It was one of the few times we could see each other. " She began to tear up . "What happened?"
" I know this is a bad time…" Grendo scratched the back of his neck ." But where's the candy ?"
" Guys , relax ! It's right behind-" He pushed back the bushes only to reveal a ravine with water pushing their candy downstream.
" W-what did you do ?" Dipper's eye twitched.
" I-"
" Uh , guys ?" Grendo pointed to a scarecrow with a jack o'melon head that had been blown out .
'
" All the jack o'melons are out ! " The streets were now completely dark .
" Wait , look !" Everyone turned to see the town kook ready to blow out the very last jack o' melon .
The figure illuminated in red cackled . " Good night!"
Everyone gasped before running forward. " Stop !"
" Huh ?" Her face twisted in confusion.
" Don't do it !"
" What's that ?"
" Just don't blow it out !"
She put a cone to his ear .
" DON'T BLOW OUT THAT CANDLE!"
The woman pondered this before laughing . " Nah , I'm married !" She inhaled again .
" No !" Grendo tackled her and caught the lantern. " Sorry?" He stood upright.
The woman made strange noises before scuttling over the cars . Throwing one last look over her shoulder, she ran off into the night.
" That was close !"Everyone gave a sigh of relief . The jack o'melon was blown out as quickly as it was saved .
" Uh oh ."
The lone streetlamp illuminated the looming figure who was quickly approaching them . " Knock knock." He knocked an invisible door .
Everyone took steps back but it was to no avail. The monster's steps were large and fast . "So children." He steepled his fingers. " Where is my candy ?"
" I swear we had all five hundred pieces!" Pacific yelled up to the trickster . " It's down there somewhere, we can still get it!"
" I'm afraid it's too late ." He rasped , his body stretching impossibly taller , his bulging form sprouting extra limbs . " That was you last chance."
With a grunt , Pacific hurled a price of candy that sunk into the creature's inky side on contact. The trickster's chuckles turned into howling laughter .
" Go !" Pacific waved everyone away while the monster formed two extra sets of spindly legs that soon shot after them to collect their helpless bodies .
Gal screamed after Pacific, the last one who wasn't yet in the monster's clutches .
" Gal!" The creature swept up Pacific in his huge hand , his cackles escalating in volume before-
Crash!
Suse's pick-up truck swerved into the trickster, causing his body to fall apart .
Everyone groaned. " We're alive , yeah!" Grendo pumped his fist .
Suse stepped outside" Woah. That wasn't a regular pedestrian, was it ?""
" No , it was the monster !" Gal pumped her first.
" Thanks, Suse ." Pacific swept his brow . " I'm just glad it's over."
Gal lowered her hands and turned away .
" Wait , that's a really large scratch -" Pacific called after her.
" I'm going to sit in the bed , 'k Suse?" Gal said softly.
Able shot him a look before climbing in after her .
" Sure. Let's go !" The truck serged off
" You okay?" Abel looked Gal , who had her arms crossed and eyes downcast . She sighed . " Does
our time together mean so little to him ? It's just-" She froze . Dark mass was being pulled behind the truck towards -
His new form no longer wore clothes but instead resembled a grinning spider. He sprung forward , landing on the truck . This caused a train of events , the truck swerved all over the place , including into a telephone pole . The monster was bucked off , but the truck seemed to be moving without control .
" Brakes , press the-"
The truck soared through the Summerween Superstore's glass doors ,only stopping when it hit a shelf . Everyone only had a few moments to cough in the dust before the trickster made way for the entry ."We have to hide !" Pacific led the group away not a moment too soon . The monster pounced in and ripped off the truck door , only to find it empty . "It's blocking the only exit ." Pacific hissed .Everyone maneuvered into a temporary hiding spot out of sight from the trickster ."Everyone , stay hidden ."
" Now he cares about the monster ." Gal sighed into her knees , Abel beside her." I thought all he cared about was Rob ."
"I'm sure that's not true ." Abel patted her back . " If it's any consolation , I know how you feel ."
" You mean ...with Dipper ?"
" I know she's arrogant and " above everyone ", but sometimes when she acts like this … it stings ." He sighed. " We're all growing up , and I feel like we're only growing further apart."
Gal leaned into him ."I knew there weren't many Halloweens left , but I didn't realize this was our last one ."
" Hey ." He nudged her ." If they really won't go with us , how about we make a promise ? We'll go trick or treating together every single year from now on ."
"Really ? "
" Promise ." They locked pinkies .
" Okay ." She wiped her damp eyes . " And if -no , when we escape , I'm going to talk to Pacific . Please , talk to Dipper ."
" She'll shoot me down , Gal . Besides , we don't exactly have a mushy relationship -"He was interrupted by a roar .
" We have to escape !"Candy held back the urge to whimper .
" We'll be seen !" Grendo had long ago become cramped in the tight shelf space .
" If only there was something to cover our bodies and faces with . You know ," Suse put a hand under her chin . " Like a disguise of some sort ... "
Everyone exchanged a glance .
The trickster scampered across the aisles , growing more and more desperate . He failed to notice his prey that was hiding in plain sight . As soon as he turned a corner , everyone quickly padded towards the exit .
Everyone beside Suse .
"Suse , stop !" Her hand hovered over the talking candy bowl .
" Sorry Dudes , but this day's been way stressful . I need some malevany ." To everyone's horror , she pressed down on the talking skull .
Nothing happened .
" Thank God ." Gal chuckled nervously . " I thought-"
Riiiip
Suse tore through a battery package .
" No matter the score, I'm always AHEAD!"
Suse slapped her knee . " This cackling head is the voice of a generation-" She noticed the looming shadow that belonged to the monster. Staring in his eyes , Suse pressed the head again , her last action before the monster swooped her into his mouth .
" Hey Monster!" The group had toy weapons in hand . They let out a battle cry before hacking at the creature wildly. As soon as they had chopped off bits of the monster, they realized something.
" Saltwater taffy ?" Grendo licked his lips . " Gross!"
" What are you-" Dipper tasted it . " It is ."
" You really haven't figured it out yet ?" The trickster rasped before collecting everyone in hand ." Don't you recognize me ? Look at my face ! Look closely…" He removed his mask , revealing a face with features entirely made of (low quality) candy.
Everyone gasped ." Loser candy!'
"That's right!Did you ever think about the candy at the bottom of the bag , the ones that nobody likes ? Every year the children of Gravity Falls throw out all the "rejected candy "into the dump ." He glared at Abel in particular ."So I seek revenge , revenge on the picky children who cast me aside ! I am made of every piece of discarded licorice ,every old bar of choclate with ...you know with that white , powdery stuff ...you know that stuff?"
" I hate that stuff !"
" No one would eat me...but now I'm going to eat you ."
Everyone struggled , but to no avail. The trickster opened his gaping mouth and - he groaned. " What is that ?" His stomach made gurgling noises. Suddenly, a squealing Suse burst from his his stomach .
" What's up bro ?"
The trickster groaned again before his mouth began to speed out candy and he collapsed to the ground.
" Mmm … Dudes , do want some of this?"
Everyone shook their head.
" Wait...you actually think I taste... good?"
" Uh ,Sure." She swallowed another handful.
" All I've ever wanted is for someone to think I was good …" He began to weep candycorn tears ." That makes this a little weird...but I guess I'm still eating . What's up , Gorny ?"
Gorny popped out from the trickster's body . " I am tramwatized ."
" I'm going to have to agree with Gorny here ." Abel said . " Gal?"
Gal hovered around the corner , hesitant to approach Pacific.
" You conquer your dragon, I conquer mine ?" Abel lifted his finger.
She lifted her own pinkie " Agreed."
" Good. Then after this, we can all go to our manor and binge on candy." "Good luck ." They chorused before separating, ready to patch it up with their respective family member.
" Will ?" Gal looked under the table. " Have you been hiding under there the whole time?"
" I thought I heard something." He whimpered .
" Like a timid cat ." Abel shook his head and patted the table . " Come on out , we have horror movies to watch and bad candy for you to eat !"
Dipper rolled her eyes and used her power to pry him landed on the ground with a plunk . " Come on, Northwest has a large selection of horrible horror movies he got us to watch and you wouldn't want to miss that ."
" Exactly ." Pacific dipped into the china candy bowl . " So sit down , I want to get started ."
"Now back to our Summerween movie marathon ."
" Umm...Gal ?" Pacific scratched his neck .
" Hmm?"
He wordlessly placed a bandage on her arm .
" You know , I've been thinking ." Abel said ." At the end of the day Summerween isn't about candy or costumes , or even scary people . It's a day where a whole group of friends can come together at one place and celebrate what really matters ...pure evil !" Everyone began to cackle wildly ...and then the light went out .
" W-what's going one ?"Will gulped . Their laughs increased in volume , then the T.V. began to flicker .With in seconds Will ran out the of the room weeping .
" Dipping Sauce , I'm impressed . Your manipulation of technology through your powers has improved ." Abel said through bites of candy .
" Do you think that was a little mean ?" Gal reached for a chocolate .
" Probbally . Try this one ." Abel tossed her a truffle .
Everyone sighed , content to relax after the night they had .
" I ate a man alive tonight ."
Poor Will...hey , two lines of Mabcifica ! Or you know , Abcific . Now , you may be asking ; Is the kook Fiddleford ? Is Fiddleford genderbent in this AU ? I won't tell .
Prompts are appreciated and please reveiw!
