"I think this may be one of my most practical powers," Dipper stated as he left his mist form and landed on Pacifica's floor.

"Dipper!" The blonde immediately jumped in his arms, nearly tackling him to her bed.

"I came as soon as I woke up," The boy wrapped his arms around his girlfriend's waist reassuringly. They were currently in Pacifica's room, which was smaller than the one she had in her previous mansion. However, it was still clear it belonged to someone much wealthier than your average person. Thanks to his vampiric powers, her parents would have no idea he even got there. "Now, explain. What do you mean your parents want us to break up?" He inquired worriedly.

"They're crazy, you know that. I never know how their logic works! They said you weren't good enough for me, or rather us, even though you helped save the world! I mean, clearly, it's your wallet that isn't good enough for them but still!" Pacifica threw her arms in the air. "Even after five years, they still won't let me live my life! They just never learn!"

"What are you going to do?" Dipper asked, knowing that she wouldn't leave him because her parents said so. Nevertheless, he was still worried. Even if the Northwests lost a lot of their fortune, they had been rebuilding it for the past five years and still posed a certain danger. He supposed considering them a danger was a little silly though… Considering what they fought in the past, and what they were fighting now.

"Well, I sure won't break up with you! You're not getting rid of me so easily," She grabbed him by the collar, pulling him to her level with a smirk across her lips. Dipper grinned, leaning further down to kiss her, only for the blonde to suddenly push him away as she glared again. "Ugh, and I'm not letting them get away with this! Not anymore! I've had enough of them trying to control my life as if I were still a 13-year-old kid! I'll bury them before they ruin my life!" She loudly declared. Since this was a large house, she was pretty sure they wouldn't hear her even if they were there.

"Uhm, are you sure? I mean, I really wouldn't have any empathy if something… happened to them, but are you sure?" Her boyfriend arched an eyebrow, surprised by her bold claim. However, Pacifica sighed.

"No, I don't really mean that… They're still my parents, I don't want to kill them! Or… Or, I don't know, throw them out and make them live in the streets! I… I don't want… Look, I only want to teach them a lesson. Make them understand they can't mess with me anymore or ever again! Really put them in their place!" Pacifica clenched her fists.

Dipper nodded as he listened. He understood what she meant, which made him ponder… Pacifica's parents had never been on his nice list; he had never liked them, and that feeling hadn't changed these past five years. Honestly, he wouldn't mind teaching them a lesson too. Not only to free Pacifica but also Gravity Falls as a whole. There were only a few bad apples in this town, but they were bad enough to ruin the rest of the batch, and he had enough.

"I may have an idea," The young vampire suddenly spoke up.

"Already?" Pacifica widened her eyes in surprise. "That's my boyfriend!" She cheered, making Dipper chuckle. Those words made his heart flutter.

"Yes, and if you're willing to go for it, then… Your parents will never bother you again," He assured her. Pacifica narrowed her eyes, thinking back to her parents and everything they had done, after a couple of seconds, she nodded. "Ok, then, for now, we don't confront them. Since you're the closest to them, you'll be the most suitable for my plan, though I'll help you too, of course. We need to find every piece of evidence damning them, every single one. Every lie they told, everything they stole, or scammed out of people. Considering the hidden room they had in the previous mansion about the wrongdoings of your family, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't erase too many traces of their activities," Dipper explained while Pacifica nodded along.

"Are we going to expose them?" The blonde inquired.

"Even better," Dipper grinned mischievously. "If we do that, it would bring trouble to you too. No, instead we'll blackmail them!" He declared with a raised fist, making Pacifica pause. The girl went silent while his idea gave her some thought. Slowly, she beamed before suddenly jumping into his arms.

"Oh, I love you! I knew you'd figure something out! And I can't wait to take them down! You can count on me!" She declared with her nose in his neck. Oh, she had no qualms about blackmailing her own parents, and as far as she was concerned, this was for the greater good anyway.

"Still, for now, we'll have to be sneaky when seeing each other," Dipper sighed exasperatedly. "Until we get everything we need to blackmail them, that is," He clarified.

"You can use your powers to come in anytime you want, and my parents still have no idea how to prevent me from speaking to you with my phone. Unfortunately, I can barely go where I want. They'll drive me to my job, and pick me up there, too," The blonde sat on her bed in annoyance. "They're driving me crazy," She shook her head.

"This is nuts! At this point, they should just imprison you in a tower and change your name to Rapunzel," Dipper rolled his eyes. "Seriously, how long do they expect they can prevent you from going wherever you want?"

"Until they find me what they see as a suitable husband, I guess," Pacifica replied with disgust, shivering at the idea of having to leave Dipper for someone she didn't love or know, and someone who was likely as horrible as her parents. "Luckily, my parents' funds were as low as their reputation a couple of years ago, so I don't have a lot of suitors. Still, I can't tell how much time we have. Knowing them, they'll manage to find someone rich and desperate in no time," His girlfriend explained with a downcast expression.

"Hey, don't worry, alright? We'll get through this," Dipper assured her, placing a hand on her shoulder. His smile was enough to warm her heart and comfort her. "We'll take care of this in no time, and even if we don't, I promise I'll scare any suitor who tries approaching you," He chuckled.

Pacifica had no doubts about that. Her boyfriend could already be scary before when he wanted to be because of everything he already fought, and his family, but now that he was a vampire too… She could already see her suitors scurrying away while pissing their pants.

"Anyway, now that this is technically taken care of… What are your plans for the rest of the day?" Pacifica asked, more light-hearted now that they discussed her current troubles.

"I have to go to Wednesday's for some experiments that I agreed on so she would come to Mabel and I's party," Dipper hummed as he recalled his meeting with the girl. "Then I have to check something Grunckle Ford wanted to show me,"

"Ah, right, the new girl… How is she?" Pacifica gave her boyfriend a sultry smirk.

"Dark," Dipper replied after some consideration.

"Emo?"

"Goth," He clarified, making the blonde chuckle.

"Oh, and… Is she hot?" Pacifica placed a hand on her boyfriend's chest as she leaned forward, inches away from his lips.

"I… Would say that she is," Dipper answered hesitantly while the blonde purred lustfully. It was crazy how lustful his girlfriend had become lately, but he couldn't say he disliked that side of her.

"Is that so? Can I expect to have her eat me out… Or maybe to get a taste of her instead?" She grinned, pulling him down by the collar.

"I'll definitely see what I can do," Dipper chuckled, though considering what seemed to be Wednesday's temperament, he should be careful about what he'd say around her.

After talking with Pacifica and drinking some of her blood, Dipper got out of her room through the window by turning into mist again and reformed a few dozen meters away from her mansion.

"So that's what Pacifica is like," GIFfany spoke up from his phone, prompting the young vampire to take it out and talk to her face to screen. "I suppose this confirms she really is alright with you fooling around with other girls, though it still doesn't make sense," She shook her head in disbelief. "She also seems interested in said girls,"

"What did I tell you? Her… interest in girls came out when we started dating. Honestly, I don't even know what her deal is. She got really kinky lately," Dipper replied, still wondering where Pacifica's sudden fetishes came from, though she had them all along and simply hid them well. It wasn't like they dated before, so she had no reason to tell him anything about her kinks. He did remember something Jake once told him… "I have a friend who told me that all girls are a little Bi, so maybe that's just it…" He shrugged, recalling Jake's exact phrase.

"Trust me, dude. All women have some kind of attraction to other women, they all have a bisexual side! That's why they have a much easier time kissing other girls than guys do kissing other dudes!" Jake confidently affirmed as if he had made a great discovery.

"Hmmm, no, I do not believe that, new boyfriend. That seems quite nonsensical, actually. I would know, I am a girl! And I am only looking for a boyfriend, not a girlfriend," GIFfany crossed her arms, feeling slightly offended by the suggestion.

Dipper really wanted to retort that she wasn't even real to begin with. He really wanted to, but he wasn't that much of a jerk. She wasn't trying to kill anyone for now, so he wouldn't antagonize her too much. Still, she probably wasn't wrong. Jake would spout a lot of dumb shit regularly, so this was likely one of those things.

"Wait a second…" The young man just realized something as he watched the A.I. girlfriend… He couldn't believe he just called her that. "You're a powerful A.I., right?" He wanted to add nearly sentient, but she would probably be offended if he told her he didn't believe she was sentient, though… he couldn't deny there was a high chance that she was.

"Of course! I see that my new boyfriend is already flattering me!" GIFfany answered cheerfully, proud of herself and certainly happy he finally seemed to understand why she was the best.

"And you must have an amazing ability to manipulate technology, I guess. If you enter a computer or just anything with a system, would you have the ability to hack it? And if yes, what are your limits? Is there any security that would be too hard to breach?" Dipper questioned her.

"I assure you, there is nothing I can't hack! Any computer I'd go in would just be like a playground to me!" GIFfany replied, beaming at Dipper's questions. "Now, just get me close to the bank you want me to hack, and I'll transfer however many funds you need in your bank account, new boyfriend!" She announced without a care in the world.

"What? No! I'm not asking you because I want to rob a bank!" Dipper exclaimed offendedly. "D-Do I look like a guy who robs banks?" He asked worriedly, only to shake his head. "No, wait, you're making me lose track of what I was talking about! Anyway, I figured we could use your ability to hack into anything the Northwests may own and get more blackmail material," He explained.

"Oh! Yes, I can do that! But don't you think it's awkward to ask ME to help your girlfriend? Girlfriend that isn't really a girlfriend because I am here, new boyfriend!" GIFfany narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms.

"Can't you just call me Dipper?" The young man arched an eyebrow. Immediately, the digital girl turned sugary-sweet again.

"Okay, Dipper, my Love!" She said instead, making him roll his eyes. Damn it, why did she have to be cute and a psycho at the same time?

"I could ask Grunckle Ford for something similar to help, but I'd rather not get my whole family into this whole thing. Let's just keep that for B plot, alright? Your expertise will be helpful, anyway. Pacifica's parents need to be taken down a peg, seriously,"

"Accessing database… Nope, I know nothing of these parents! They do not compute or have any relevance in my quest for love! What are they like?" She inquired, as upbeat as ever.

Since they would work together and she would stick with him for some time, Dipper thought it would be best if she knew about Pacifica's parents as well as her family as a whole. He spent a good ten minutes telling her everything he learned about them; mostly summarising everything. Nevertheless, the essential was there. They were frauds, and so were her ancestors. They cheated their way through life, and Pacifica had to suffer because of her parents' pride and ego.

"I understand why you want to take them down now, darling! They really are nasty!" GIFfany nodded, though she didn't seem too shocked or outraged by their behavior and past. He wasn't surprised since he was pretty sure the girl also had warped morales. Again, he didn't comment on it.

"Yep, so now that you know, I hope you take it easy on Pacifica, alright? She's an amazing girl who went through a lot, and she doesn't need a killer A.I. after her," Dipper warned, though GIFfany simply giggled.

"I know! I remember our deal! Did you think I wouldn't, Darling?" She retorted cheerily.

"Glad we're on the same page, then," Dipper nodded before looking up to see the Addams' manor. "Oh, we're here! Back in the pocket you go," He said as he put his phone back into his pocket with a pouting GIFfany on the screen.

Like the previous day, he knocked on the door and waited patiently for an answer. Wednesday told him she wanted to do experiments on him every day until the party, but she hadn't been specific. If the electric chair was anything to go by, he was honestly scared to see what she prepared for him. Whatever it was, he would handle it, but still…

"Oh, it's you again," Morticia's voice woke him from his thoughts as she opened the door, just as gorgeous as yesterday. Dipper immediately cleared his throat so as not to appear too flustered and embarrass himself. Seriously, how did that woman have such an effect on him?

"H-Hello, ma'am," Dipper nodded curtly, making the older woman smile.

"Such a polite boy," The goth milf complimented him before moving out of the way so he could come in. "Wednesday has been expecting you. She's in her room upstairs," She told him, making Dipper nod.

"Thank you," He thanked the older woman before climbing up the stairs. He remembered where Wednesday's room was, so he was quick to get to it. Slightly hesitantly, he knocked. His ears perked up, picking up the sound of something being strained.

"Come in!" Wednesday called out from inside.

Dipper opened the door, widening his eyes and instantly bending his neck to the left to narrowly dodge a crossbow bolt that threatened to lodge itself into his skull.

"What the-" He exclaimed, releasing a heavy breath before settling his eyes on the goth girl, who held a crossbow.

"Sharp reflexes. Fast too," She nodded with an impassive look.

"What was that for? Are you trying to kill me?" Dipper exclaimed as he came in, closing the door behind him.

"I assumed I would have to stab you in the heart for that. Was I wrong?" Wednesday inquired, making Dipper pause. Well, he didn't pause for her question, but rather at her sight. The dream he had came back to the forefront of his mind. Damn it, he really wanted to get her out of those clothes right now…

"That or cut off my head," The young man mumbled in response, trying not to picture her naked again or to get a hard-on. "I hope your experiments aren't as deadly as this one," He asked as Wednesday put the crossbow down.

"That depends. How many liters of blood can I extract out of you before you pass out?" The goth girl questioned.

Dipper sighed. This was going to be a long day. The prospect was so tiring that the boy didn't even notice Wednesday's gaze subtly dropping to his crotch before coming back to his eyes.

Their little experiment lasted for at least two hours during which Wednesday would take multiple samples of Dipper's blood. Of course, it didn't stop there. She also took an interest in his regenerative capabilities by testing how fast he healed from certain injuries. Nothing serious, mostly small cuts. He healed pretty quickly when it came to such wounds, which was quite reassuring.

Sure, he was aware of his abilities after the beating he took from Max, but he didn't focus on it. He remembered the days he would be covered in cuts and scratches from running through the forest. Well, no more! That was until he found a cure. She also gave him some stuff to drink and check the effects it would have on him, and… He was probably too trusting since he drank them without making a fuss, but he didn't feel any effects anyway. Moreover, he couldn't complain about the taste either since mostly everything was tasteless to him now.

While they were doing this, he couldn't help but notice a journal lying nearby. Wednesday was distracted by looking at a blood sample under a microscope, which gave him the opportunity to check its contents. Well, it wasn't a diary, that was for sure. There were multiple chemical formulas and equations; they seemed quite advanced. On other pages, Wednesday had drawn diagrams for machines she likely planned on building, though most of them seemed… Like torture instruments? At least, he couldn't deny she had a scientific spirit. He already had a feeling she did, but it was nice to have it confirmed. He narrowed his eyes as he noted something else in one of her equations.

"Hey, Wednesday!" He called out to her, pulling her attention away from his blood as he held her journal. "Hope you don't mind if I looked through your journal here, but I think I've noticed a mistake," He stated. She arched an eyebrow. It wasn't much, but this was much more expressive than usual, which meant she must have been quite in disbelief.

"Really?" She voiced in surprise. "Let me see," She held out her hand.

"Here," He gave her the journal as he came to stand beside her and point at the said mistake. "I think this should be a 2 instead of a 4. It's a mistake anyone can make if you try going too fast, but that result changes all the rest, including the next equations," He explained.

"Hmmm," Wednesday hummed, her eyes going over her calculations. "You're right. I can't believe I missed that," She conceded before picking up a nearby pencil and scribbling her first result. "I will have to redo the other calculations later, but thank you for letting me know. I thought you were an idiot, but it seems I was gravely mistaken,"

"Oh, it's nothing. I like helping, and one of my great uncles is a genius scientist, so I guess it runs in… Wait, what did you just say?" Dipper began stroking his ego, only to stop short when his brain finally processed what she said.

"You said your great uncle is a scientist?" She asked to confirm.

"Yeah. The smartest man I know," Dipper nodded proudly.

"Maybe you could show me his torture devices next time," Wednesday suggested with a very faint smirk.

"Uh… Sure…" Dipper accepted. Knowing Ford, he had no doubt the old man did have some torture devices lying around. Nevertheless, Dipper would prefer showing her a better invention than something that'd be used for torture.

"I think we're done here for today. Come back tomorrow, and I'll have something more fun prepared," She said in an amused tone. He was almost afraid to know what she had cooked up for tomorrow's experiments. Almost. She was lucky he put up with this because Mabel wanted a new friend… And because Wednesday was hot. He couldn't deny this played a role too…

"Sure. It was actually pretty nice for me too," Dipper smiled. Even if she didn't explicitly state she had fun, he had a feeling she did. That, or he was just horrible at reading people's feelings.

After getting out of Wednesday's room, Dipper walked down the stairs, waving at Thing as he passed the hand by. He would have gone straight for the door since he didn't see Morticia anywhere and didn't want to wander off in the manor just to say goodbye if the woman hadn't suddenly called his name.

"Dipper!" She met with him as he was about to leave. "Did you and my daughter have a good time?"

"We did. Thank you for welcoming me," Dipper nodded, making Morticia grin warmly.

"No need for thanks," She reassured him before she suddenly gained a worried expression. Dipper frowned, ready to ask her what was wrong. "Before you leave, could you perhaps indulge me with a couple of questions?"

"Sure," The young vampire shrugged. There was no reason why he should refuse, after all.

"Thank you. I will try to be quick so as not to hold you back too long," Morticia affirmed. "I've read and heard some things about this town ever since we settled here, but I want to confirm it with you. Have you dealt with ghosts, before?" She questioned. Dipper cocked an eyebrow. He didn't expect that kind of questioning, but he loved talking about the paranormal.

"Sure! Multiple times even," He proudly confirmed.

"So I assume you know a lot about them," Morticia looked mournful as she asked him that, though there was a clear sign that she was pleased with his answer.

"My grunckle, Ford, may know more than me, but I would still call myself an expert in the matter,"

"Good. So, you could theoretically get rid of a ghost if you were asked to do so?" Morticia inquired, and immediately, Dipper knew where this was going. She was likely going to ask him to help her with a haunting issue.

"Of course,"

"I'm happy to hear that. I may need your expertise," Morticia sighed with a downcast expression. "My family always had a way of… sniffing out the supernatural, especially ghosts. I told you yesterday that I did not believe my husband, and mother's deaths to be natural. I fear my suspicions have been proven correct. I believe the perpetrator is a ghost, and they have followed us here in Gravity Falls even after we moved," Morticia revealed, prompting Dipper to place a hand on his chin.

"I see… I'm sorry for your husband and mother," Dipper apologized to the sorrowful woman. "If there are two deaths, then… This may be a category ten. If it is, we'll have to deal with it quickly. I have some supplies I can bring, and I could take care of it tomorrow," He offered. Since he was coming here for Wednesday anyway, it wouldn't derail his plans for the day anyway. Even if it did, he couldn't let that ghost do whatever it wished.

"I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Dipper," Morticia nodded, giving him a sweet smile.

"Do you have any idea if your family has had any enemies? Someone vengeful enough to come back from the dead?" He questioned since he didn't want a repeat of the Northwest Mansion and the party.

"I couldn't tell you. As a family, we do not interact much with other people. If we have any enemies, then they could be from centuries ago," Morticia shook her head.

"Okay… If you have any books on your ancestors or the history of your family, please try to look up potential suspects. In the meantime, I'll talk to my Grunckle too and check if he has any supplies better than what I already have," Dipper instructed the older woman as she nodded.

"I will. Thank you very much for your help, Dipper. You are a sweet boy," The older woman thanked and complimented him while gently stroking his cheek.

Instantly, Dipper's serious expression disappeared to leave him flustered instead, his cheeks redder than ever.

"N-No problem! I can't leave ghosts unattended! Especially if they bother l-lovely ladies like you and Wednesday," He stammered. Oh, and the rest of their family too, but he hadn't even met them yet anyway.

"I am happy to see my little raven has found a friend who wishes to take care of her as you do," Morticia smiled, much to Dipper's pleasure as she had a lovely smile. "I won't waste any more of your time, then. Stay safe,"

"Of-Of course! Thank you for worrying about me, and goodbye!" Dipper stuttered before walking out while Morticia watched him leave, chuckling in amusement.

After walking out of the manor, Dipper breathed out. Morticia's husband had been a lucky one.

"This family may be full of freaks, darling," GIFfany spoke from his pocket.

"Not a word," Dipper deadpanned. He was lucky Mabel didn't know what he was doing there because she would think he lost his mind, participating in weird experiments like that.

"I can only hope that girl doesn't try to kill you next time. Or she'll face my wrath," GIFfany threatened, though only Dipper was here to hear. He didn't want to know how a fight between the goth girl and the A.I. one would go, and he wasn't willing to find out. Better go to the Shack, and more specifically, Ford's lab.

"I think I already know the answer, but I'll ask anyway… You don't have any way to fight ghosts, do you?" The young man questioned the Dating Sim girl as he pulled out his phone, only for her to shake her head.

"Unfortunately not, but maybe if you install some upgrades, I could lend you some help, my love," GIFfany answered with a cutesy expression.

"Yeah, no. I'm not giving you more power," Dipper retorted, deadpan again. Considering what she could do with a fast food joint, he wasn't going to try his luck by giving her advanced weaponry, even if it was designed to kill ghosts.

"I guess I tried," The virtual girl shrugged before Dipper put the phone back in his pocket.

He looked around, ensuring no one was watching him, then turned into mist. Traveling in this form was fast and comfortable. He kinda needed to remain mostly in the shadows because as a Full-Fledged Vampire, this was still hurting him a lot, but apart from that, it was a good method of transportation. He also did this so it would serve as training for his abilities. If he needed to fight other vampires, then he needed to know how to use their powers well and counter them.

Once he was close enough to the Shack, he regained his real form under the shadow of a tree in the forest, keeping himself far enough so that no tourist would notice him. The Shack was more popular than ever as he noted there were many tourists inside and out front. However, his eyes specifically landed on a specific old man, lying on a lawn chair and sipping on a can of beer. Come on, everyone knew who he was looking at! Of course, it was Grunckle Stan. The old man… Didn't bother putting on pants. Fortunately, it didn't bother the tourists either. In fact, they seemed to think he was an attraction too!

"I've never seen skin so wrinkled… What kind of creature is this?" A woman inquired, seemingly worried, while her husband took a picture of Stan. The old man was still unbothered.

"Don't stare too much, honey. What if it suddenly attacked?" The husband warned her as he led her away from Dipper's Grunckle.

"Hey, Stan!" Dipper greeted the man after watching the interaction. He couldn't stop a smile from creeping up his lips as he was reminded of the many times Stan's appearance scared people off. "Business is going really well for Soos and Melody, huh?" He pointed out while looking at the crowd of tourists.

"Hey, kiddo," Stan greeted him with a smile. "Yeah, it is. Keeps them busy. Couldn't even talk to them ever since this morning. Can't say I'm not proud of Soos," He grinned before taking another can of beer. "Wanna join me?" He offered. While Dipper was still underage, and couldn't drink, Stan didn't care much about it. Honestly, Dipper would have taken the offer but…

"Sorry, I can't. Gotta see Grunckle Ford," Dipper answered.

"Poindexter's down in his lab," Stan shrugged as he put the can back down.

"Yeah, he said he needed to tell me about something. Gotta need his help for something too, probably,"

"Well, if it's nerd stuff, then go ahead," Stan waved his hand dismissively with a small chuckle, clearly not expecting or wishing for someone to ask him for help in those matters.

"Guess I'll use the back entrance," Dipper remarked, stealing a glance at the tourists. The vending machine would be too obvious. "It was nice talking to you, Stan," He said as he walked away.

"You better take me up on that beer next time, kiddo!" Stan grinned, shooting a finger gun at the young man.

Dipper walked behind the Shack and turned to mist once he was sure there was no one else. He slipped under the building's foundations and flew into Ford's lab, where the old man seemed to be welding something. He wore protective glasses and a headset.

"Grunckle Ford," Dipper called out to him as the old man ignored him, or more likely, didn't hear him. "Grunckle Ford!" The young man yelled louder, making the old man suddenly perk up.

"Oh! Dipper!" Ford grinned as he stopped welding and took off his protective gear. "I didn't hear you come in!"

"It's alright. I used the backdoor," Dipper replied, which Ford immediately understood as the boy using his vampiric powers to enter. "You said you were working on something?"

"Ah, yes! This is quite an exciting project I'm working on, and Fiddleford has been quite the help too! Maybe you could lend us a hand if you're interested?" Ford offered eagerly.

"I'd love to! Wait, don't tell me… Does that project have something to do with… You know what?" Dipper smiled excitedly, only for Ford to shake his head.

"Oh, no. Not at all. The university is pretty much done already," The older man waved his hand. "I've recently taken a great interest in AI technology, and more specifically, assistant AIs," Ford gestured for Dipper to follow until they reached a large computer screen, on which there were already several thousands of lines of codes. The young man widened his eyes, surprised by the sheer amount, and if Ford only offered Dipper to join now… Meant that this was only the start. "This is… A prototype of a fraction of the AI assistant Fiddleford and I have been working on,"

"This… This is amazing, Grunckle Ford…" Dipper praised in awe. "But what's the assistant for?"

"Everything. At least, that's our ultimate goal. We would like for it to be connected to all our properties and serve as a security system, for one. That includes you and your sister's house, of course. But that would only be the tip of the iceberg, we want it to have the power to help in every task, to be a lab assistant, a friend, to grow beyond what we wanted for it and maybe surpass even us. It could find solutions we never thought of to problems that have troubled humanity for decades, and maybe even centuries. If we succeed… This would be the greatest project of our lifetimes," Ford explained excitedly to the point Dipper could swear he saw his eyes sparkle.

"This… Whoa… You're suggesting to give it sentience?" Dipper questioned in disbelief. He didn't even know that was possible, but… Witnessing an actually sentient robot had always been a dream of his, so to think he could participate in the creation of such a being… Still, he couldn't help patting his pocket, where his phone was. GIFfany… He didn't think having a sentient AI was possible in their time, which was why he didn't believe she was one, and that she simply believed herself to be. Even if she was, he could find an excuse such as ghosts or other strange creatures tampering with her, but… If they managed to create something like this… Would he have to reconsider GIFfany's state of sentience too?

"Indeed. It will be an arduous journey, but I believe that with our combined efforts… We can do it. What do you say, my boy?" Ford grinned, placing an encouraging hand on Dipper's shoulder.

Dipper looked into his Grunckle's eyes as he carefully considered his options… No, he didn't do that. Why would he? The answer was obvious!

"Of course, Grunckle Ford! The fact you're even asking me to help you guys with that… I just… I'm honored!" Dipper replied, feeling a great sense of pride. It was like when Ford had asked him to be his apprentice, maybe even better than that.

"Atta boy! I knew you'd want to help!" Ford laughed, punching the air. "With the three of us working on this; we'll be done in no time!"

Dipper joined his Grunckle in the laughter until he was reminded of the other subject he wanted to talk about with him. The haunting of the Addams' manor. However, now that he thought about it, it gave him a new idea. It was… Crazy… To say the least. Especially since he just met Wednesday, and the girl had quite the character. Nevertheless, he felt like he could trust her. She was weird, but true to herself, and no matter how much she tried to hide it… He knew she didn't actually want to fatally hurt him.

"Actually, Grunckle Ford… I think I know someone in Gravity Falls that could help us," Dipper decided to tempt fate for once.

"You do?" Ford questioned in surprise. "It's not that I doubt this town's capabilities when it comes to intelligence, but…" He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly.

"She's new here, so you probably never heard of her. I can assure you that she's super intelligent, and she's my age too! First, though, we need to take care of a ghost problem at her house tomorrow," Dipper narrowed his eyes seriously, which prompted Ford to do the same as he was familiar with that expression. "It caused two deaths already,"

"Oh, no… Then this may be a category ten," Ford stated grimly, rubbing his chin. "You said we need to take care of it tomorrow?" He asked for confirmation, to which Dipper nodded. The old man quickly walked around the lab, checking the various cupboards and safes he kept there. "Good. It gives me enough time to get everything we'll need ready. Regular ghost-hunting material won't be enough for this one," He said, taking out a silver mirror and placing it on the table as he rummaged through other supplies.

"You have something to fight a category ten?" Dipper inquired. As far as he knew, his Grunckle didn't have solutions against these types of ghosts.

"I developed some things in the past year because of what you told me about that ghost you faced at the Northwest mansion," Ford confirmed before standing up with a grin. "The times we pray for mercy are over. Now, it's us who'll do the hunting!" He clenched his fists.

Dipper slightly widened his eyes, surprised by the declaration.

"That was all you had to say, Grunckle Ford," He smirked, determined to make this ghost regret ever coming to Gravity Falls.

After some time, the sex scenes that were removed will be publicly available so everyone can enjoy them. The first sex scene we had a couple of chapters ago is available on my ao3: KingE!

As you can see, this is an M-rated story. It's because of violence and the language. However, this is also a harem story, and that means there will also be smut! On my subscrib estar. adult /kingen page! I have recently opened a subscribe star adult page for those who want to support me, get early access to my stories, vote in polls to decide which story will be updated next, or even get customized stories for the lucky few! There is also exclusive content. I assure you, the only thing exclusive to my subscribestar adult page will be the sex scenes. Everything else will remain the same in the story, don't worry. But if you want to read some good-quality smut, then you can head over to my page! I would be extremely happy to receive your support because it could eventually allow me to have more free time to write! Thank you!
