Author's note: First of all, I know there is already a Loud Gravity crossover, but I don't really like it because the author unites the Loud family and the Pines family. I chose a different path. I want to focus more on the Loud siblings and reveal them from different sides, so there will be no Dipper and Mabel in the story. Also, at first, each chapter will be dedicated to the corresponding Gravity Falls episode, for example, the first will have gnomes, the second Gobblewonker, the third wax figures, etc., but nevertheless, all of them will be edited in one way or another to fit The Loud House lore (although in the future I will try to write completely original chapters (I already have some ideas)). Secondly, English is not my native language, so there may be mistakes in the text, please report so that I can correct them! And finally, I don't own either The Loud House or Gravity Falls.
Episode 1. "Tourist Trapped"
«Ah, summer break! A time for leisure, recreation and taking her easy».
Families were having picnics, children were playing on the lawns, and the big "Welcome to Gravity Falls" sign was standing in its rightful place. But this harmony was about to be ruined when a pink mini-car with three passengers suddenly flew out of the billboard.
«Unless you're me».
"A-A-A-A!" was all that came out of the mouths of the trio.
"He's getting close!" said girl in the shabby pink dress as she turned around.
A huge monster, several dozen meters high, ran out of the forest. The drivers, escaping from the clutches of the monster, jumped on the stone springboard, screaming at the top of their lungs. Finally, having leveled out, the white-haired boy could concentrate on the road.
«My name is Lincoln, and the girls who about to puke are my sisters Lola and Lana. Why are we in a pink princess car, running from a giant monster?».
Monster tore a tree out of the ground and threw it onto the road, blocking the way.
"Lincoln, watch out!" screamed a dirty girl in a blue jumpsuit, pointing at a pine tree ahead.
Having lost control, the car began to skid in all directions, causing the passengers to panic. But then, before the expected collision, kids suddenly froze in the strangest poses, as did everything around them.
«Rest assured, there's a perfectly logical explanation».
«Let's rewind. It all began when our parents decided we could use some fresh air».
"Family meeting, family meeting!" Rita and Lynn Sr. shouted.
After a while, the whole family gathered in the living room.
"Kids, every holidays you spend lying on the couch or watching TV. Although you need fresh air and clean nature!" Rita Loud, mother of 11 children, began her tirade. "So, your father and I discussed it and decided that tomorrow you are going to visit your great-uncle in Gravity Falls!"
«To say that we were horrified is to say nothing. All our plans for the summer collapsed in an instant».
"What?! But this week I have to give a report on "A New Word in Genetic Engineering" in Munich!" lisped Lisa, a four-year-old genius.
"And I have five bookings for clown performances in Royal Woods!" added Luan, an aspiring comedian.
"And I have a string rehearsal the day after tomorrow!" howled Luna, a dreaming rocker.
"We all have some plans for the summer! We can't cancel everything!" concluded Lincoln.
"Kids, I repeat, you are going to Grandpa's for the summer, period!" intervened the father of the family, Lynn Sr.
«I don't know what came over my parents, but no matter how hard we tried, it was impossible to convince them otherwise. In the end, they shipped us up North to a sleepy town called Gravity Falls, Oregon, to stay at our great uncle's place in the woods. Due to the abnormal size of my family, we were given space in the attic and 10 folding beds».
"This attic is amazing! There are already cockroaches here!" Lana has always loved the insect world, especially when it lives under her bed.
"Ugh! There's mold on my pillow! It's literally disgusting!" Lori was ready to cry.
"Let's swap!"
"And my mattress is being chewed by a goat," Lincoln noted.
"Oh! Hey, fella! Come with me. Yes, of course, you can chew my hand, he-he." the young mechanic went for a walk with the goat on the yard.
"Finally, the attic and I will now officially live together, the next should be ventilation..." Lucy adored dark and quiet places, although the latter property was no longer relevant for the attic.
"God, I can't believe I'm actually going to live in the attic. Parents will take a long time to pay me back for this!" for Lola, the most important thing was beauty and cleanliness, so she was very upset when she learned about the prospects of living on the dustiest floor of the house.
«My sisters are a huge spectrum of very different personalities, who are very easily succumbing to all sorts of conflicts. And it's okay to share a house with them, but living together in one room, even if it is quite spacious, certainly did not bode well. Some immediately adapted to the surroundings, such as Lana, but there were those who took a long time to get used to the new life».
"Oh, boo-boo-bear, there is a bad connection here, so there might be interrupt- Argh! It hung up again!"
"Oh, come on! Is there not a single outlet here?" Luna hoped until the very end that she would be able to plug her music equipment in somewhere, but it seemed her hopes were not destined to come true.
«And I was one of them». Lincoln sat under a pine tree, trying to read a comic book, while a woodpecker pecked at his cap.
"BOO!" A man with a monster mask jumped out of the bushes.
"А-а-а-а!" Lincoln fell on his back out of fear.
«And then there was our Great Uncle Stan. That guy.»
"Ha-ha-ha! Ah! Cough-cough! It was worth it!" the old man wanted to laugh, but his age and lifestyle took their toll.
«Our uncle had transformed his house into a tourist trap he called the Mystery Shack. The real mystery was why anyone came».
"Ladies and gentlemen, behold the: upamel! A camel that walks upside down!" Tourists were presented with an upside-down stuffed camel.
«And guess who had to work there». Lincoln sighed as he swept the floors and Luan reached for the huge eye.
"Oh!" Stan hit the comedian's hands with his cane.
"No touching the merchandise!"
«It looked like it was gonna be the same, boring routine all summer. Until one fateful day...»
It was another shift at the Mystery Shack: Lincoln was cleaning a jar with rubber eyes, Lana was fixing the wiring in a lamp, and Lisa was sitting at the cash register reading something abstruse. Then Stan came into the hallway with some wooden sticks and announced:
"All right, all right. Look alive, people! I need someone to go hammer up these signs in the spooky part of the forest".
"Not it!"
"Not it!"
"Also not it."
"Nobody asked you, Lana, you're fixing the lamp."
"I know. And I'm comfortable with that."
"Lisa! I need you to put up this sign!"
"With pleasure, but my limbs… Mmh, they just can't… reach," the scientist groaned mockingly.
"I'd fire all of you if I could. All right, let's make it, eeny-meeny-miny... You!" Stan pointed at Lincoln.
"What? But Grunkle Stan, whenever I'm in those woods I feel like I'm being watched!"
"Ah, this again..."
"I'm telling you, something weird is going on in this town! Just today, my mosquito bite spelled out «beware»!" Lincoln showed his hand to let his grunkle read the bite marks.
"That says «bewarb»"
The boy scratched his hand.
"Look, kid, the whole "monsters in the forest" thing is just local legend, drummed up by guys like me, to sell merch to guys like that." Stan pointed to a bald tourist playing with a toy.
"So quit being so paranoid!"
Lincoln could only sigh.
In the dark forest, as always, it was creepy and windy.
"Ugh. Grunkle Stan... Nobody ever believes anything I say..."
The boy was lazily walking from tree to tree, hammering nails and hanging signs, when suddenly, while hammering in another nail, he heard an uncharacteristic metallic ringing. After knocking a couple more times, Lincoln was convinced that he was not imagining it. Then he ran his hands along the tree trunk, feeling some kind of ledge and, pulling on it, the boy, unexpectedly for himself, opened a hatch, behind which was an unusual device, quite rusty. Out of curiosity, Lincoln decided to pull various levers and see what they were responsible for. Then he heard a metallic grinding sound coming from behind. Turning around, he approached the opened hole.
"Huh? What the..."
Seeing a large burgundy book inside, Lincoln blew the dust off it, and his eyes were presented with all its glory by the cover with a gold outline of a six-fingered hand, in the center of which was a large number "3". With irresistible interest, the guy immediately opened the book, starting to read it quickly.
"It's hard to believe it's been six years since I began studying the strange and wondrous secrets of Gravity Falls, Oregon."
"What is all this?."
Continuing to flip through the pages, Lincoln looked at drawings of a variety of creatures, from forest gnomes to flying vampire eyes.
"Unfortunately, my suspicions have been confirmed. I'm being watched. I must hide this book before he finds it. Remember, in Gravity Falls, there is no one you can trust."
"No one you can trust..." Lincoln repeated to himself.
"Hello," a monotonous voice was heard from behind.
"А-А-А-А-АH!" it was not the first time that the only brother was frightened by Lucy's sudden appearances.
"What are you doing?"
"Uh, uh... It's nothing! Just… Just putting up signs!"
"Link, I know my eyes are covered by hair, but even so, I can see you hiding that huge book..."
"Damn, okay! I'll tell you, just... Let's find a more suitable place."
Mystery Shack. Lincoln gathered all his sisters in the living room to tell them about his discovery. He trusted his family, after all.
"Guys! It's amazing! Grunkle Stan said I was being paranoid, but according to this book, Gravity Falls has this secret dark side!"
"Whoa! Dark… Side!" Lynn teased Lucy by punching her in the shoulder.
"And get this. After a certain point, the pages just stop. Like the guy who was writing it mysteriously disappeared!"
"Lincoln, I understand that you have that childish maximalism, but don't you think that trusting the diary of some random madman is sensibly?" asked the older sister Lori, a reasonable question.
"I swear! A little time will pass, and you will all see it for yourselves!"
"Male sibling, listen, as a human of science, I can assure you that in the wild there simply cannot be gnomes and magical unicorns or… whoever else?" Lisa picked up the book to examine the other creatures. "Zombies? Vampire-bat-eyes? One-eyed triangles? Is this some coloring book for six-year-olds?"
"It's not a coloring book!" Lincoln defended himself. "Look, I know this is all weird, but-"
The doorbell rang.
"Who's that?"
"I'll open," Lola jumped up from her chair.
The door opened and a pale boy of about 12 years old appeared in the corridor, wearing a jacket and loose trousers with a confident smile on his face.
"Family, meet my partner for theatrical performance."
"SUP-"
"Hey"
"How's it hanging?" Lori and Lana greeted the guest.
"Wait, wait, wait, Lola, am I right in thinking that you found some other contest and signed up for it in the half hour I wasn't here?" Lincoln was continually amazed by his sister's obsession with contests.
"It's strange to say this, but yes, you understood everything correctly, Lincoln," the princess answered sarcastically.
"And what is our actor's name?" Luna croaked.
The guy got nervous.
"Normal... MAN!" the boy barely managed to get words out.
"He means Norman," Lola clarified.
"Wow! And you, Norman, it turns out you wear wigs?" Leni was amazed.
The guy noticed the hair slipping off his head and quickly fixed it.
"No! You imagined it!"
"That's it! Enough interrogations! Norman and I are going to rehearse in the yard, so don't interfere!"
The little princess and the strange boy hurried out of the Hut.
Lincoln took an immediate dislike to the guy.
«There was something about Norman that wasn't right. So I decided to consult the journal».
"…possessed individuals communicate poorly with people, trying to repeat the behavior of those around them… Their skin is pale and their… hair falls out?!" the journal depicted a worm controlling a person's brain.
"PARASITE!" echoed through the corridors of the Hut.
"Did someone say, "Kerasite"? What is that? Kerasite. It's not even a word," Stan was adjusting his bow in the bathtub, "You're losing your mind."
Lincoln immediately glued himself to the window overlooking the courtyard, watching as Norman slowly began to approach Lola from behind.
"Oh, no, no, no! Lola, watch out!"
The parasite approached and began to raise his hands to attack the unsuspecting girl. When he grabbed her by the shoulders, Lincoln closed his eyes so as not to see the worst part and then… Norman turned Lola around, threw her onto his arm, then lifted her up and wrapped around his wrist. In other words, he performed the most typical move that any ballroom dance has. This action made Lincoln think.
"Is my sister really dating a brain-parasite? Or am I just going nuts?"
"It's a dilemma to be sure," a voice sounded from somewhere above.
"Eh?!" The boy was quite scared.
"Sorry, I couldn't help but overhear you talking aloud to yourself in this empty room," said Lana, screwing in a light bulb.
"Lana, you've seen Lola's partner. He's gotta be a parasite, right?"
"Hmm... How many people has he infected already?"
"Zero..."
"Look, dude, I believe you. I'm always noticing weird stuff in this town. Like the cashier at the grocery store? Pretty sure that dude's a zombie. But you gotta have evidence. Otherwise people are gonna think you're crazy."
"Lana, as always, you're right..."
"My wisdom is both a blessing, and a curse..." the mechanic said with deliberate pathos.
"Lana! The toilets are clogged again!" a disgruntled old voice was heard from the hallway.
"Well, I have to leave."
Lana went to conquer the sewer jungle, and Lincoln thought again.
«My sister could be in trouble. It was time to get some evidence!»
For the rest of the day, the boy carefully recorded all interactions between Lola and Norman, hoping to catch the latter in some carelessness that would reveal his parasitic nature. But no matter how much he thought the impostor was about to make a mistake, it turned out to be either a kind of help to the princess or simple awkwardness.
«I'd seen enough!»
Lincoln decided to confront his sister about his suspicions. The brother resolutely entered the attic, where the girl was calmly combing her hair in front of the mirror.
"Lola! We've got to talk about Norman!"
"Lincoln, if you're jealous of me because of him, that's okay, tomorrow I'll try to spend some time with you if that's what you want."
"What? No! Listen! The thing is, Norman is not who he claims to be!"
"Who do you think he is then? A zombie? A vampire?" the princess answered sarcastically.
"Guess again, sister, sha-bam!" Lincoln unfolded the book to show who his sister was dealing with.
"Woah! How disgusting!" A bearded gnome was depicted on the page.
"Oh, wait. I'm sorry. Sha-bam!" The girl finally saw a brain worm.
"God! Even more disgusting! Go show this to Lana, I'm sure she'll like it," Lola turned to the mirror.
"I'm serious, Lola! It all fits: pale skin, no hair, and he doesn't blink! Haven't you noticed?"
"Or maybe he blinks when you blink?"
"Lola! Remember what the book said about Gravity Falls?" the boy turned around and spoke in a whisper, "Trust no one!"
"Lincoln, now listen to me. Tonight at seven o'clock Norman and I have a performance and believe me, I'll be irresistible! And he'll be just wonderful!" The girl began to push her brother out the door.
"But-but-but-"
"And I won't let you ruin my first contest in this city because of some stupid book!" on the last word the door was slammed.
Lincoln sighed.
"What am I gonna do?"
The clock struck six and the doorbell rang.
"Coming!" Lola was ready for the dress rehearsal with Norman.
The door opened and a respectable boy in a formal suit appeared in the doorway.
"Excellent! Just what we need for the performance," the girl assessed her partner's appearance, "So, are you ready to take first place?"
"Like never before!"
The couple went to their final rehearsal, and Lincoln could only watch them into the distance and review the camera footage.
"Lana is right. I don't have any real evidence... I guess I can be kind of paranoid sometimes and... Wait, what?!
Then the boy noticed something. The recording clearly showed how during one of the movements at the rehearsal, Norman's hand fell off, but he quickly put it back, unnoticed by Lola.
"I was right! Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! Grunkle Stan! Grunkle Stan! Grunkle Stan!" The sudden rush of adrenaline caused Lincoln to almost stumble along the way.
"And here we have pepper-that-looks-like-a-face pepper. The pepper that looks like a face."
"Does it look like a pepper?" was heard from a group of tourists.
"No, it looks like a face," deftly parried Stan.
"Is it a face?"
"It's a pepper that looks like a face!"
"Over here! Grunkle Stan!" Lincoln was trying to get attention.
"For the fifth time, it's not an actual face!" it was hopeless.
Then the creaking sound of a car was heard.
"Lana! Lana, I need a car to save Lola from the parasite!" the boy waved his hands in emotion.
"What?! So you got the evidence?"
"Look for yourself!" Lincoln opened the camera and showed his sister a fragment.
Lana was shocked by what she saw.
"Jump in," the tomboy said in a serious tone. "Where are they going?"
"Straight ahead, second left!"
Seat belt. Gas pedal. The wheels squeak. And the car sped away at its maximum possible speed.
"Listen, Lola, now that we've gotten to know each other better... There's something you need to know..."
"Norman, please, there's half an hour left before the contest, just don't tell me you can't come!"
"No, that's not what I wanted to say... All right, just don't freak out, okay? Just keep an open mind and be cool," the guy began to unbutton his suit, behind which were... gnomes.
"Is this weird? Is this too weird? You need to sit down?" the topmost one spoke.
Lola's jaw dropped. She couldn't believe it.
"All right. I'll explain. So, we're gnomes. First off, get that one out of the way. Uh... I'm Jeff. And here we have Carson, Steve, Jason and... I'm sorry, I always forget your name."
"Shmebulock!"
"Shmebulock, yes! Anyways," the gnome snapped his fingers. "Long story short, us gnomes have been looking for a new queen. Right, guys?"
"Queen! Queen! Queen!" the guys supported together.
"Heh, so what do you say?" Jeff stamped his foot, giving a signal, after which the gnomes, using a hand on a stick, presented a box with a ring.
"Will you join us, in holy matrinomy. Matri... Matrimony! Blah! Can't talk today."
Lola took a deep breath to get all her thoughts out.
"Firstly, you lied to me, secondly, you have already ruined my reputation in the city, thirdly, I am a six-year-old girl, and you are some... damn... bearded GNOMES! And after this, you expect me to agree to become your... QUEEN?!" The gnomes were embarrassed.
"No! My answer is no!"
"We understand... We'll never forget you," Jeff began to say. "Because we're gonna kidnap you."
"Huh?"
The mini-car raced through the forest at its limits.
"Help!" It echoed through the trees.
"Hold on, Lola, we're on our way!" Lincoln prayed that he and Lana would get to his sister on time.
Guided by the sound, the mechanic girl drove into a passage leading to some kind of cave. As they drove into it, Lincoln noticed that they were starting to come across glowing mushrooms and plants that he had only seen in fairy tales. Finally, some small caps and... a pink dress appeared in the distance!
"The more you struggle, the more awkward this is gonna be for everybody! Just… Okay! Just get her arm there, Steve."
"Hey! Let me go, you little bastards! Ki-ya! Ki-ya!" Lola fought back with all her might.
One of the gnomes couldn't stand the impact and flew into the wall, spilling his entire rainbow-colored inner world onto the ground.
"What the heck is going on here?!"
"Lincoln! Lana! Norman turned out to be a bunch of gnomes, and they're total jerks! Ow! My hair!"
"Gnomes? I was way off..." Lincoln immediately opened his journal to learn more about the kidnappers.
«Gnomes. Little men of the Gravity Falls forest. Weaknesses: Unknown?!»
"Hey! Let me go quickly, or I'll scream!" having suffered defeat, Lola was tied to the ground.
"Hey, hey! Let go of my sister!" Lincoln decided to start pushing.
"Oh! Ha-ha… Um, hey!" Jeff didn't expect the sudden appearance of Lola's relatives, "Uh, you know, this is all really just a big misunderstanding. You see, your sister's not in danger! She's just marrying all one thousand of us and becoming our gnome queen for all eternity! Isn't that right, honey?
"You all are just pathetic little- Mhmmh!" Lola's mouth was covered.
"Give her back right now, or else!"
"You think you can stop us, boy? You have no idea what we're capable of. The gnomes are a powerful race! Do not trifle with the- Аh!"
Lincoln didn't take the threat seriously and simply knocked the gnome over with a shovel. Meanwhile, Lana quickly ran up to her sister and with one swing of her axe freed Lola from the ropes. When the gnomes came to their senses, all three were already in the car.
"They're getting away with our queen! No, no, no!"
"Fasten seat belt. I'm driving," Lincoln got to the steering wheel.
Seat belt. Gas pedal. The wheels squeak. And the trinity flew out of the gnomes' lair at full speed.
"You've messed with the wrong creatures, boy. Gnomes of the forest, ASSEMBLE!" At the call of the forest leader, the gnomes began to emerge from their burrows, jump on top of each other and gather into something big.
"Lincoln, hurry before they come after us!" Lola began to encourage her brother to drive faster.
"I wouldn't worry about it. Did you see their little legs? The suckers are tiny!"
Suddenly, they heard loud footsteps behind them. Stopping, all three of them turned around to see a huge giant gnome, made up of ordinary little gnomes, striding towards them.
"Okay, maybe not so tiny..."
The monster swung its arm to hit the car.
"Move, move!" Lana shook her brother to bring him out of his trance.
Coming to his senses, Lincoln drove the car, slipping out of the monster's grasp as it was about to hit the ground.
"Come back with our queen!"
Lola turned around. The giant gnome was not far behind.
"It's getting closer!"
The monster began to throw back his hand.
"Shoot!" At Jeff's command, little gnomes flew out of his hand.
Having landed on the car, they began to jump on the passengers. One flew away from a blow from Lola's elbow, the second got a shovel in the face from Lana, and the third successfully jumped on Lincoln's face, starting to scratch it.
"Lincoln!" the combative princess began to beat the gnome with all her might.
On the eighth beat, the attacker lost his grip and flew out of the car.
"Thanks, Lola…" said the boy, coming to his senses.
"Don't mention it!"
Monster tore a tree out of the ground and threw it onto the road, blocking the way.
"Lincoln, watch out!" Lana screamed, pointing to the pine tree ahead.
Lincoln lost control of the car out of surprise and, by a lucky chance, swerved into a small gap between a tree and the ground. After a couple of turns, the car rolled on one side before reaching the Hut and finally flipping onto the ground. As the trio emerged from under the car, they saw the monster approaching them.
"Stay back, man!" Lincoln picked up the shovel and threw it at the monster, who crushed the tool by hitting it with his fist.
Realizing their doom, the kids screamed in fear.
"А-А-А-А-А!"
"Where's Grunkle Stan when we need him?!" Lola screamed.
"Behold... The world's most distracting object! Just try to look away, you can't!" Stan started a spinning circle on a stick, "I can't even remember what I was talking about..."
"It's the end of the line, kids! Lola, marry us before we do something crazy!"
"There's gotta be a way out of this..." Lincoln began to take out his journal in hopes of a clue.
"I gotta do it," Lana and her brother were horrified.
"What? Lola! Don't do this! Are you crazy?!"
"Trust me."
"What?"
"Guys, I know that I am the last person you can rely on, but please, just this once, trust me!"
After some thought, Lana and Lincoln moved away from their sister, trusting her with control of the situation.
"All right, Jeff. I'll marry you."
"Hot dog! Help me down there, Jason. Thanks, Andy. All right, left foot, there we go. Watch those fingers, Mike," the gnome quickly began to climb down from his fellows and headed towards the bride.
Approaching Lola, Jeff opened the box with the ring, offering to put it on. The princess offered her hand and the gnome successfully inserted the ring into her finger.
"Bada-bing, bada-bam!" the little man, overjoyed, danced a victory dance. "Now let's get you back into the forest honey!"
"You may now kiss the bride," Jeff stopped short at the unexpected offer.
"Well! Don't mind if I do!" the gnome began to offer his lips for a kiss.
Lola pretended to direct her lips towards him as well, when the sound of a motor came from the bushes. The girl quickly pulled out a leaf blower and pointed it at Jeff's face.
"Huh?! Wait, wait a minute! What's going on?!" The gnome encountered this magical object for the first time and didn't know what to do.
"That's for lying to me!" trying in vain to escape, Jeff was finally sucked into the device.
"This is for ruining the contest!" Lola increased the power to the limit.
"And this is for harming my family!" The princess aimed the leaf blower at the giant gnome.
"Wanna do the honors?" Lola turned to Lana and Lincoln.
"On three!"
"One! Two! Three!" the trio counted in chorus.
On the count of three, the brother and sister released the lever, and the gnome, like a projectile, flew into the arms of his brothers.
"А-А-АH! I'LL GET YOU BACK FOR THIS!"
The giant monster began to crumble into small gnomes. As they fell, they quickly scattered towards the forest. Some even got stuck in the scattered garbage along the way.
Having exhaled from their victory over the gnomes, the sisters and brother began to enter the Hut.
"Hey, Lincoln, I..." Lola suddenly began. "Sorry for not listening to you, thank you guys for protecting me..."
"Oh, come on, Lola, forget it. You were the one who defeated the giant!" Lana cheered up.
"I'm just upset that my first contest was ruined by the bunch of gnomes..."
"Look on the bright side! Maybe the next one will be ruined by the one-eyed-triangle!" Lincoln added.
"You're really calming me down!" Lola joked with a smile.
"Awkward sibling hug?" Asked Lincoln.
"Awkward sibling hug!" The twins repeated.
"Pat. Pat." All three patted each other.
With these words, Lincoln, Lana and Lola entered the Hut.
"Sheesh! You two get hit by a bus or something? Ha!" Stan joked in his repertoire, to which the grandchildren simply walked past.
"Hey! Wouldn't you know it?" the trio turned around. "Um, I accidentally overstocked some inventory, so, how's about you each take one item from the gift shop, on the house, you know?"
"Really?" the twins were inspired.
"What's the catch?" Lincoln doubted.
"That catch is do it before I change my mind. Now take something!"
The kids quickly ran away, looking at the shelves with all sorts of souvenirs. Lola looked at the accessories and after much thought took a jar of glitter. Lincoln went to the shelf with caps, took a blue one with a pine tree in the middle and tried it on in front of the mirror.
"Hm! That ought to do the trick!"
"And I will have..." meanwhile, Lana spent a long time looking for something in one of the boxes until she took out an object and screamed.
"A grappling hook!"
"Wouldn't you rather have, like, a doll or something?"
"Grappling hook!" the girl repeated, shooting it into the ceiling and hanging on the beam.
"Fair enough!" Stan was a responsible caregiver.
At night, the town of Gravity Falls was covered by the starry sky and slowly fell asleep. The same thing happened in the Mystery Shack, when the entire Loud family, crowded around the sink, brushed their teeth, changed into pajamas and went to bed. And while the sisters were preparing their "beds", the only brother in the family was writing something in his old book.
«This journal told me there was no one in Gravity Falls I could trust. But in a battle with hundred gnomes, when you have your family by your side, you understand that you can trust them!»
"Hey, Lana, could you get the light?"
"I'm on it!" the girl took aim and fired the hook at the gas lamp, knocking out the window, after which a couple of giggles were heard.
«Our uncle told us there was nothing strange about this town».
Meanwhile on the first floor, a man with a flashlight in his hand approached a snack machine and entered a code on its panel. After that, the machine opened a passage, behind which was a staircase, where the old man went. After looking around and making sure that no one had seen this, the man closed the door behind him.
«But who knows what other secrets are waiting to be unlocked?»
OHW WKH DGYHQWXUHV EHJLQ!
