A/N: Hello everyone, I am back with chapter five of this story. Here, the events of "The Hand That Rocks the Mabel" are covered.
Disclaimer: I don't own Gravity Falls
Things began outside as Stan was finishing giving a tour. He brought out a bag claiming it was the "Sack of Mystery" and your money would disappear when you put it in. The tourists seemed to believe this and handed over their money.
Ford groaned in exasperation.
Inside; Soos, Mabel, and Dipper were watching Tiger Fist on television when it cut too commercial.
"Hey look, it's that commercial I was telling you guys about." said Soos.
Bud Gleeful's voice came and touted Gideon.
"What makes him so special?" asked Mabel.
"He's a psychic." answered Bud.
Gideon gulped knowing his actions would be laid bare for all to see. He spotted Mabel with a less-than-thrilled expression, clearly unhappy to be reminded of what was to come.
Bud said the viewers shouldn't waste their time with other "men of mystery" followed by an imagine of Stan exiting an outhouse with the word 'FRAUD' stamped over him.
"Lousy jerk." grumbled Stan.
They should visit the Tent of Telepathy instead and the commercial ended with a disclaimer.
"Carla." repeated Stan softly.
Mabel was excited, but Stan quickly shut her down.
"Ever since that monster Gideon rolled into town, I've had nothing but trouble." said Stan.
A flashback showed Stan looking for a parking space, only for it to be stolen by Gideon's bus.
"I told you he was my archnemesis!" cried Stan.
Mabel asked if he was really psychic and Dipper said they should go and find out.
"Never! You're forbidden from patronizing the competition! No one who lives under my roof is allowed that Gideon's roof!" declared Stan.
"Do tents have roofs?" asked Dipper.
"I think we just found out loophole." replied Mabel.
Mabel then pulled out a with a loop in it.
"Good one." said Mr. Pines.
"So come on down soon folks. Gideon's expecting you." said Bud, ominously.
"How much trouble could a little boy cause?" asked Mrs. Pines to herself.
Dipper, Mabel, and Soos arrived at the Tent of Telepathy later that night.
"This is like a bizarro version of the Mystery Shack. They even have their own Soos." noted Dipper.
A repairman named Deuce walked by who struck a real resemblance to Soos. Soos eyed him suspiciously.
"That's...weird." said Wendy.
The show began and Dipper was eager to see this monster as Stan called him. Gideon appeared on the stage.
"Hello America, my name is Lil' Gideon." said Gideon.
Watching, Gideon could feel several of the other people watching giving him dirty glares.
"That's Stan's mortal enemy?" asked Dipper.
"He's so...little." said Mabel.
"You all believe me now!" declared Stan proudly.
Gideon claimed to have a vision where everyone went aww and they did after he struck a cutesy pose.
"Tricking the folks of Gravity Falls isn't hard. Trying conning the United States government." said Stan dismissively.
"Hit it dad!" called Gideon.
Bud began playing a piano and Gideon broke out into a song number.
"That amulet!" exclaimed Ford.
"Come on everybody, rise up! I want y'all to keep it going!" declared Gideon.
Everyone got to their feet confusing Dipper.
"In hindsight, maybe an elementary school wasn't the best place to bury that journal." sighed Ford guilty.
Gideon continued making "predictions" based on anyone could obviously see.
"Something tells me you're named Mabel." said Gideon.
Mabel moved her popcorn, revealing she was wearing a sweater with her name on it.
"How'd he do that?" asked Mabel in awe.
"I know he was impressive, but you should try and be more cautious." said Mrs. Pines.
"Relax. Gideon tricked a lot of people not just Mabel." replied Wendy dismissively.
Mabel had a flashback.
"Just a little more summer"
"Yeah. Don't want to be tricked." muttered Mabel flatly.
The song ended and soon everyone was leaving.
"Man, that kid's an even bigger fraud than Stan. No wonder our uncle's jealous." said Dipper.
"I was not jealous!" declared Stan.
"Whatever you said." said Wendy teasingly.
"You did get the fraud part right." huffed Stan.
"Oh, come on, his dance moves were adorable! And did you see his hair? It was like, whoosh!" said Mabel.
"You're too easily impressed." replied Dipper.
The two siblings left and it was revealed Gideon was eavesdropping.
"That's creepy." said Robbie.
"Look who's talking." grumbled Wendy.
It cut to the Mystery Shack the next day. Dipper was drinking water when Mabel came over, having bedazzled her face. She blinked and was in pain.
"That wasn't a great idea." admitted Mabel.
"Is that permanent?" asked Dipper.
"I'm unappreciated in my time." answered Mabel.
"Wait, isn't that the llama sweater you gave me?" asked Pacifica.
"Wax Larry King suggested it because llamas are nature's greatest warriors." answered Mabel proudly.
"I don't think that's true." noted Dipper.
"I still can't believe I wore that." said Pacifica.
"If you don't want it anymore, I'll take it back." offered Mabel.
"Oh no, it's nice and I do like it." admitted Pacifica.
Pacifica got embarrassed.
"I mean..." began Pacifica flustered.
"Too late." replied Mabel smiling.
The door rang and Mabel answered it finding Gideon.
"I know we haven't formally met, but after yesterday's performance, I just couldn't get your laugh out of my head." said Gideon.
"You mean this one?" asked Mabel, who then laughed obnoxiously.
"Either no or Gideon needs to get his hearing checked." said Dipper.
"Oh, what a delight." said Gideon.
"Gideon needs to get his ears checked." stated Dipper.
Gideon continued saying he felt Mabel was a kindred spirit who enjoyed the sparkly things in life.
"That's totally me!" declared Mabel.
Mabel coughed up sequins which landed on Gideon's suit.
"Enchanting. Utterly enchanting." said Gideon softly.
"I think gross is more accurate." said Dipper.
Stan asked who was at the door. Mabel lied saying it was no one.
"I appreciate the discretion. Stan's no fan of mine. I don't know how a lemon so sour could be related to a peach so sweet." said Gideon.
"He reminds me of a certain someone." said Mrs. Pines smiling.
Mr. Pines blushed.
"I really hope not." muttered Dipper.
Gideon proposed continuing this at this house and Mabel agreed excited for the possibility of makeovers. Mabel was blown away at Gideon's dressing room.
"Ya see something ya like? 'Cause I do." said Gideon.
"Smooth." whispered Robbie.
Mabel returned home as Dipper sat in the recliner reading the journal.
"Does that say Journal 2?" asked Mabel.
"He couldn't have had that." stated Gideon.
"Hey Dipper, what's going on?" asked Mabel.
Mabel dangled her newly manicured nails over Dipper.
"Whoa, where have you been? And what's with those fingernails, you look like a wolverine." asked Dipper.
Mabel agreed then scratched the air and roared.
"Aw." cooed Mrs. Pines.
"I was hanging out with my new friend Gideon. He is one dapper little man." revealed Mabel.
"Mabel, I don't trust anyone whose hair is bigger than their head." said Dipper.
"Ha!" laughed Stan.
"Oh, leave him alone. You never want to do girly stuff with me." began Mabel.
"I wonder why." mumbled Robbie.
"You and Soos get to do boy stuff together all the time." continued Mabel.
Soos suddenly walked in holding hot dogs.
"Hey dude, you ready to blow up these hotdogs in the microwave one by one?" asked Soos.
"Am I!" answered Dipper excitedly.
The two ran off and their blowing up the hotdogs could be heard along with Dipper's enthusiasm.
"It was actually fun!" declared Dipper defensively.
Mabel and Dipper were seen sitting on the warehouse that sat at 412 Gopher Road. Mabel was impressed by the view.
"Good thing we both brought our..." began Mabel.
"Opera glasses." said Mabel and Gideon in unison.
"Since you have the glasses, maybe I we could see La traviata sometime. So I can educated you of course." said Pacifica.
"Girl's night out!" declared Mabel excitedly.
"Mabel, when I'm up here looking down at all the little ol' people, I feel like I'm king of all I survey." said Gideon menacingly.
"A king. Not being bullied and pushed around because of my past slip ups." thought Gideon.
"I guess that makes you, my queen." stated Gideon.
"You are being so nice to me right now! Quit it!" cried Mabel.
"I can't quit it. I'm speaking from the heart." said Gideon.
"From the where now?" asked Mabel, now more concerned.
"Mabel, I've never been this close with anyone. So, so close." continued Gideon.
Gideon began stroke Mabel's hair.
"And here we go." said Dipper flatly.
"Look Gideon, I like you a lot. But, let's just be friends." said Mabel.
"Friendzoned!" laughed Robbie.
Gideon asked if Mabel go out on a date with him.
"It'll just be one little ol' date. I swear on my luck bolo tie." said Gideon.
"Did you...use the bolo tie to hypnotize me?" asked Mabel, worried.
"No! Never! I would never do that to you!" declared Gideon.
"You said "to her" but, that doesn't mean you wouldn't use it on other people." noted Ford.
"It doesn't matter since it's gone anyway." shrugged Dipper.
Mabel reluctantly agreed. Gideon hugged Mabel and sniffed her hair.
"That's creepy." said Wendy, disturbed.
It cut to the Mystery Shack the next day where Dipper and Mabel were playing a video game.
"It's not a date-date. It's just, you know, I didn't want to hurt his feelings and so I figured I'd throw him a bone." explained Mabel.
"Mable, guys don't work like that. He's going to fall in love with you." warned Dipper.
"Dipper is right pumpkin, you can't do that stuff like that. You've gotta be honest." agreed Stan.
"Which is why you're single." joked Wendy.
"Yeah right. I'm not that loveable." said Mabel.
Mabel was victorious in the game.
"Okay, we agree on something here." said Dipper.
This got chuckles from the audience.
The doorbell rang and Mabel answered it. She was surprised by a horse which Gideon was riding.
"A night of enchantment awaits, m'lady." said Gideon.
"He's good." whispered Mrs. Pines impressed.
The scene then cut to the aquatic themed restaurant where the horse was drinking out of a fountain.
"I can't believe they let us bring a horse in here." said Mabel surprised.
"Well, people have a hard time saying no to me." bragged Gideon.
Gideon got glares from the Gravity Falls locals.
The waiter came over and Gideon managed to intimidate him into leaving.
"He's so afraid of my, but he's also under my thumb." thought Gideon.
"I've never seen so many forks. And water with bubbles in it? Ooh, lala, oui oui." said Mabel.
Pacifica couldn't help being amused.
"Oh, parlez vous francais?" asked Gideon.
"I have no idea what you're saying." stated Mabel.
"He asked if you spoke French." answered Pacifica.
"You know French?" asked Mabele excitedly.
"Bien sur. I learned it as a child. It helped when my family would vacation to the French Riveria." answered Pacifica.
The scene cut to the Mystery Shack. Dipper, Wendy, and Soos were around the gift shop counter with Soos reading a magazine about Mabel and Gideon.
"What the jackal is Mabel doing in the paper with that creepy pickpocket Gideon?" asked Stan.
"Oh yeah, it's like a big deal. Everyone's talking about Gideon and Mabel's big date tonight." answered Wendy.
"That little shyster is dating my great niece?!" asked Stan outraged.
Soos wondered what their couple's name would be as Stan marched off.
"I didn't know! I didn't hear about it, and plus, I told her not too!" declared Dipper.
"You kind of gave yourself away son." noted Mr. Pines.
Stan returned fully dressed.
"Yeah, well it ends tonight. I'm going right down to that little skunk's house. This is gonna stop right now!" stated Stan.
"Good thing you weren't home." said Wendy.
"I wouldn't have been too worried." replied Gideon.
"But now your little amulet is gone." noted Stan menacingly.
Stan raced to the Gleeful residence and marched to the front door with purpose.
"Gideon, you little punk, open up!" demanded Stan.
Stan noticed a sign reading "Pardon This Garden" on the door.
"I will pardon nothing!" declared Stan, knocking the sign away.
Bud opened the door.
"Why Stanford Pines. What a delight." said Bud.
Ford still felt weird hearing people refer to his brother by his name.
Stan noted he was here to see Gideon. Bud noted Gideon wasn't here and pulled Stan inside for coffee.
"It's imported. All the way from Colombia." said Bud.
"I went to jail there once." noted Stan.
"Do I want to know?" asked Shermie.
"It all started when I met this guy named Pablo Escobar..." began Stan.
"Never mind." said Mrs. Pines hurriedly.
Stan was impressed by the Gleeful home including a painting of a sad clown on the wall.
"We had an actual Monet. That's not impressive." said Pacifica.
"Now I hear your niece and my Gideon are, well, they're singing in harmony, so to speak." laughed Bud.
"Yeah, and I'm against it." stated Stan, knocking a pillow to the ground.
Bud replied how he saw this as a chance to work together pooling their profits.
"I'm listening." said Stan.
"You didn't." said Mrs. Pines menacingly.
It cut back to the date as Gideon had finished eating. An uncomfortable Mabel had her living lobster pinch at her fork.
"Shouldn't that be...cooked?" asked Mr. Pines.
"Gideon ordered it said rare. I guess that meant literally." shrugged Mabel.
"Mabel, tonight's date has been a complete success. And tomorrow's promises to top this one in every way" declared Gideon.
"Whoa, whoa. You said one date, and this was it." noted Mabel.
"Hark! What a surprise! A South American rainbow macaw!" said Gideon, feigning surprise.
The large bird landed on Gideon's arm. A surprised Mabel grabbed her lobster.
"Are you feeding that thing steroids?" asked Wendy.
The macaw asked Mabel to a ballroom dance on Thursday...after he messed up the first time and Gideon shook it.
"Not cool dude." said Wendy.
The rest of the restaurant patrons began crowding around clearly wanting a yes from Mabel.
"It's okay Mabel. They had no right pressuring you like that." said Dipper.
Back at the Shack, Dipper was reading Journal 3 when a despondent Mabel returned.
"Hey, how'd it go?" asked Dipper.
"I don't know. I have a lobster now." answered Mabel flatly.
"That didn't last long." noted Dipper.
"Hey, lobster is delicious and I was hungry!" declared Stan defensively.
"Well, at least it's over and you won't ever have to go out with him again." stated Dipper.
Dipper noticed his sister looked at the lobster sadly.
"Mabel, it's over, right Mabel?" asked Dipper concerned.
"He asked me out again and I didn't know how to say no!" exclaimed Mabel.
"Like this: no." said Dipper.
"Dipper is right sweetie. You need to be upfront and honest about this." said Mrs. Pines.
"I learned that lesson." groaned Mabel.
"It's not that easy, Dipper! I do like Gideon as a friend slash little sister, so I don't want to hurt his feelings." explained Mabel.
"Little sister." chuckled Wendy.
Gideon blushed with embarrassment.
"I just need to get things back to the way they used to be. You know, friends." said Mabel.
"This can't end well." noted Pacifica.
It cut to Gideon and Mabel being ferried in a boat by McGucket.
"You know, I thought dancing was gonna be the end of the evening, right?" asked Mabel nervously.
Gideon took Mabel's hands.
"Don't you want this evening to last, my sweet?" asked Gideon.
"No!" cried Mabel.
Mabel pulled her hands away.
"I'm always happy to hang out with a friend." said Mabel.
Mabel listed off several synonyms for friend.
"Mate." said Mabel.
"How about soul mate?" asked Gideon.
"You should have made it romantic. Like sing a song or something." said Robbie.
"Like a song telling him to kiss the girl?" asked Soos.
Mabel was horrified as fireworks went off spelling her name in the sky.
"How much money did you have?" asked Mr. Pines.
"We made a pretty penny back in the day." answered Gideon, slightly proud.
"You still weren't as rich as us." noted Pacifica.
"And now we're both climbing out of the ol' well." sighed Gideon.
"Yeah. We are." agreed Pacifica.
"Well, you can't say not to that." stated McGucket.
"Mabel, I'm sorry for that." said McGucket.
"It's alright." replied Mabel.
It cut to the Shack as Dipper descended the stairs. He found Mabel frantically pacing and talking to herself.
"What the heck happened on that date?" asked Dipper.
"I don't know! I was in the friend zone and then, before I knew what was happening, I was pulled into the romance zone! It was like quick sand! Chubby quicksand!" explained Mabel distressed.
Gideon was kicking himself over what he had done to Mabel.
"Great news Mabel, you have to marry Gideon!" declared Stan, wearing a Team Gideon t-shirt.
"What?!" asked Mabel horrified.
The twins' parents shot Stan dirty looks.
"It's all part of my long-term deal with Buddy Gleeful. There's a lot of cash tied up in this thing.
Stan noted his shirt and noted he was fat. Mabel ran off screaming and Stan replied that bodies change.
"That was funny." said Soos.
"Yeah, but real messed up dude forcing Mabel to marry Gideon." said Wendy upset.
"I know I screwed up here. I'm sorry pumpkin." said Stan.
"It's okay Grunkle Stan." replied Mabel gratefully.
Dipper went to the attic and found Mabel hiding in her sweater.
"Mabel's not here. She's in sweater town." said Mabel despondent.
"Is that something you do a lot?" asked Pacifica.
"I used to hide and not deal with problems. But, that's over now." answered Mabel.
"If you can't breakup with Gideon, I'll do it for you." offered Dipper.
"You will?" asked Mabel hopefully.
Dipper confirmed it and Mabel emerged from her sweater.
"Oh, thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" cried Mabel happily.
"This can't end well." noted Wendy concerned.
"Indeed. Rejecting someone with such an ego cannot come without consequences. Especially if they have access to a journal." added Ford.
"Um Gideon is right here." noted Pacifica.
The scene cut to The Club where Gideon awaited Mabel. Instead, Dipper arrived and walked up to Gideon who was reading a menu.
"Oh, Dipper Pines, how are you? You look good. You look good." said Gideon surprised.
"Look Gideon, we've got to talk. Mabel isn't joining you tonight. She, uh, she doesn't want to see you anymore." explained Dipper nervously.
"Dipper, I'm so sorry for making you so this." said Mabel.
"It's fine. That's what siblings do for each other." shrugged Dipper.
"She's kinda weirded out by you. No offensive." continued Dipper.
"Yeah...probably shouldn't have said that." noted Dipper.
"So, what you're saying is...you've...come between us." said Gideon, his eye twitching.
"You're not going to like, freak out, or anything?" asked Dipper, worried.
"Of course not. These things happen. Bygones you know." answered Gideon.
"Then again, sorry man. But, uh, hey, thumbs up, right?" said Dipper, nervously leaving.
"Thumbs up indeed my friend." said Gideon menacingly.
"So, Gideon does some messed up stuff...but that's in the past now. He's changed." said Dipper.
"Yeah, little dude has been cool." agreed Wendy.
Outside, Mabel was waiting for Dipper. Mabel asked how it went and if Gideon read his mind with psychic powers. It then cut to Gideon's room warning Dipper he didn't know what he had done. He used the amulet which allowed him to move the items in his room with telekinetic powers.
"You've just made the biggest mistake of your life!" declared Gideon.
Gideon smashed his wardrobe on the floor causing Bud to open the door.
"Gideon Charles Gleeful, clear up your room this instant." said Bud.
"I can buy and sell you old man!" exclaimed Gideon.
"If I said that to my dad, I'd have to hide in the bottomless pit." mused Wendy.
"Fair enough." said Bud, who left.
"He didn't punish you at all." noted Wendy, surprised.
"My dad knew about the amulet and its powers so he feared me." said Gideon remorsefully.
"Oh right, he was part of that freaky society. He probably knew about all sorts of supernatural junk." said Wendy.
"What society?" asked Mrs. Pines.
"You'll see." answered Dipper.
Gideon looked at a picture of Dipper and Mabel on his wall. Gideon used his amulet to burn away the part with Dipper.
"That's disturbing." noted Dipper, unsettled.
It cut to the next day where Dipper, Mabel, and Soos were hanging out. Soos put a pillow under his shirt and the twins ran into him.
"I'm so glad things are back to normal." said Mabel relieved.
The phone rang inside and Dipper had to answer it. Toby Determined as on the other end.
"Sorry for accusing you of murder last week." said Dipper.
"Water under the bridge." replied Toby.
"Thank you for apologizing." said Mrs. Pines.
Say, we want to interview you about whether you've seen anything unusual in this town since you've arrived." said Toby.
Dipper excitedly agreed to an interview and wrote down the address for the meeting that night. The phone called then ended.
"I did your dirty work. Now it's time to pay your end of the bargain." said Toby.
An unseen figure threw Toby a piece of paper.
"Shandra Jimenz's phone number! Bless you Lil' Gideon!" exclaimed Toby.
"That's super creepy." noted Wendy.
"I can't believe that creep sold out Dipper!" yelled Stan angrily.
"Stan, remember how you wanted to "pay Toby a visit" next time we were in Gravity Falls?" asked Ford.
"Yeah, and you're going to talk me out of it." answered Stan.
"I'm joining you." said Ford.
"Yes!" declared Stan happily.
Dipper went to the address which was the factory Gideon and Mabel were at earlier. Dipper entered and was greeted by Gideon in a swivel chair petting a doll of himself.
"Dude, you look like a supervillain." said Soos.
The word "villain' echoed in Gideon's mind.
"What do you want from me, man?" asked Dipper, annoyed.
"Listen carefully, boy. This town has secrets you couldn't begin to comprehend!" declared Gideon.
"Is this about Mabel?! I told you, she's not into you!" exclaimed Dipper.
"Liar! You turned her against me!" cried Gideon.
Gideon began marching toward Dipper and grabbed his amulet.
"She was my peach dumpling!" cried Gideon.
Mabel got goosebumps at this.
"You okay man?" asked Dipper concerned.
Gideon used the amulet to lift Dipper into the air and toss him to a pile of merchandise.
"Reading minds isn't all I can do." noted Gideon.
"But, you're a fake." said Dipper confused.
"Looks pretty real to me dude." noted Soos.
"Tell me Dipper, is this fake?" asked Gideon, levitating many items with the amulet.
"I'm gonna have to say no dawg." answered Soos.
It cut back to the Mystery Shack where Mabel was sitting outside when Wendy joined her.
"Wendy, I need some advice. You've broken up with guys, right?" asked Mabel.
"Oh yeah." answered Wendy, who began listing her Ex's.
"I don't know what's wrong with me. I thought everything was back to normal, but I still feel all gross." began Mabel.
Wendy continued listening her former love interests.
"I guess I got distracted." admitted Wendy.
"Maybe letting Dipper do it for me was a mistake. Gideon deserves an honest breakup." said Mabel.
Wendy continued listing her former love interests including Mark Epston who she might not have actually broken up with.
"That's a lot of former boyfriends." noted Pacifica.
"Sometimes it takes a while before you find the right person." shrugged Wendy.
"And her dad totally scared them off dudes." added Soos.
"Thanks for the reminder." grumbled Wendy.
"I know what I gotta do. Thanks for talking to me, Wendy." said Mabel.
"See, you did help me." noted Mabel.
Mabel rode off on her bike while Wendy received a phone call she promptly ignored.
"I really have to tell Mark it's over." noted Wendy.
Back at the warehouse, Dipper was dodging a collective of items being thrown at him by Gideon.
"Grunkle Stan was right about you, you are a monster!" declared Dipper.
"Yes! I told you!" declared Stan vindicated.
Gideon was momentarily distracted allowing Dipper to charge Gideon with a baseball bat. However, Gideon used him amulet to stop Dipper's attack.
"She's never going to date you man!" declared Dipper.
"That's a lie. And I'm going to make sure you can lie again to me friend." said Gideon, using his amulet to pick up lamb sheers.
"Um Gideon, what exactly where you going to do with those shears?" asked Dipper nervously.
"It's better I don't say." answered Gideon flatly.
"Why did you have lamb shears anyway?" asked Wendy.
"Corner every market." answered Gideon.
Thankfully for Dipper, Mabel arrived and saw what was happening. She quickly burst into the factory.
"Gideon, we need to talk." said Mabel firmly.
"You really couldn't have come at a better time." sighed Dipper.
"I'm sorry Gideon, I can't be your marshmallow. I needed to be honest and tell you that myself." said Mabel.
"I don't understand." said Gideon.
Gideon squeezed the amulet choking Dipper.
Gideon felt sick watching his past actions.
"Hey, we can still be makeover buddies, right? Wouldn't you like that?" asked Mabel.
"Really?" asked Gideon hopefully.
"Mabel, I know you liked being friends with this boy. But he was currently attacking your brother." noted Mrs. Pines.
"Yeah Mabel!" cried out Wendy.
Mabel pulled off the amulet, freeing Dipper.
"No, not really?! You were like attacking my brother, what the heck?!" asked Mabel angrily.
"Just because being makeover buddies was nice, doesn't mean I'm going to choose him over Dipper. I'm not some selfish monster." said Mabel.
Gideon demanded his amulet back so Mabel threw it to Dipper.
"Not so powerful without this, are you?!" asked Dipper.
Gideon tackled Dipper who dropped the amulet. Both Dipper and Gideon crashed through the window and began falling.
"Kids!" cried Mrs. Pines horrified.
"Remember mom, we're fine." said Mabel.
Mabel used the amulet to save Dipper and Gideon from doom as she levitated down with it.
"Listen Gideon, it's over. I will never, ever, date you." said Mabel.
Mabel smashed the amulet on a rock destroying it.
"My powers!" cried Gideon.
"Honestly, it's for the best. Something that powerful clearly can't be risked falling into the wrong hands." said Ford.
"This isn't over. This isn't the last you'll see of wittle old me." said Gideon, menacingly.
"That isn't good." said Mrs. Pines concerned.
It cut to the Gleeful residence where Stan finished signing the papers to finish his deal with Bud.
"This is living brother." said Stan happily.
"From now on it's all brand name food and clown paintings." said Bud.
The two toasted as a furious Gideon returned home.
"Standford Pines, I rebuke thee." said Gideon.
"That's how you knew Gideon wasn't a real psychic!" declared Dipper.
"Oh yeah, if he was Gideon would have known Grunkle Stan wasn't Grunkle Ford." realized Mabel.
"You can't con a master con man." boasted Stan.
"Rebuke? Is that a word?" asked Stan, confused.
"Rebuke means to criticize sharply and/or reprimand." answered Ford.
"Nerd." replied Stan.
"The entire Pines family have invoked my fury! You will all pay recompense for your transgressions!" declared Gideon.
"What, you got a word-of-the-day calendar or something?" asked Stan.
"I went through the dictionary looking for big words to memorize so I could impress people." confessed Gideon.
"I did the same." admitted Dipper.
"But sunshine, what about our arrangement with Mabel?" asked Bud.
"Silence!" yelled Gideon, cutting his father off.
"I see he's taken to one of his rages again. Sorry Stan, I have to side with Gideon on this one." said Bud.
"Makes sense seein' that's his son and all." said McGucket.
"Not every kid is that lucky." muttered Pacifica sadly.
Bud torn up the contract.
"Okay. Okay. I can see when I'm not wanting." said Stan.
Stan ran off taking the clown painting with him.
"Try and catch me suckers!" cried Stan.
You really stole that painting?" asked Shermie, unhappy.
"In my defense, they didn't catch me." answered Stan.
It cut to the Mystery Shack as Stan lamented while hanging up the clown painting. He then noticed Dipper and Mabel.
"What the heck happened to you two?" asked Stan.
"Gideon." answered Mabel then Dipper tiredly.
"Yeah, the little mutant "swore vengeance" on the whole family. Ha, I guess he's going to try to nibble my ankles or something." said Stan.
Realizing Gideon no longer had his amulet, the three began mocking how powerless he was now.
"If only that was true." sighed Dipper.
Gideon was in his room making dolls of the Pines family. He had the doll of Mabel declare she still loved him while mocking Stan and Dipper.
"Dude, that's creepy." said Wendy.
"Oh, you'll see boy. You'll see." said Gideon sinisterly.
It was confirmed Gideon had Journal 2.
"Why did I hide that somewhere better?" asked Ford, kicking himself.
Gideon peered over and saw the angry looks Dipper and Mabel's parents were giving him.
"Now, I know y'all are rightly mad after the trouble I caused..." began Gideon.
"No offense, but you were messed up dude." said Soos.
"Having that power was intoxicating and it went to my head." admitted Gideon.
"Or your hair." said Soos.
"It's so fulfilling having crowds of people fawning over you..." began Gideon.
Gideon thought to the people at the restaurant only to have Mabel's unhappy face replace it.
"And it makes you do terrible things." said Gideon.
"I bet he hasn't change." said Robbie.
"It's easy enough to judge someone when you haven't been in their position!" declared Pacifica.
"I never did anything like that." scoffed Robbie.
"You literally tried brainwashing me with a song." noted Wendy.
Robbie suddenly got quiet.
"Pacifica, I didn't expect you to stand up for Gideon." said Mabel surprised.
"I was there before myself." noted Pacifica.
Pacifica glanced at Dipper.
"Until someone made me realize I didn't have to be another link in the world's worst chain." added Pacifica.
Pacifica and Dipper blushed which didn't go unnoticed by Mabel.
