A/N: Hello everyone, I am back with chapter six of this story. Here, "The Inconveniencing" is covered.
Disclaimer: I don't own Gravity Falls
Things began in the Mystery Shack gift shop. Dipper was reading Journal 3 while Mabel spun on a globe.
"Mabel, do you believe in ghosts?" asked Dipper.
"Oh, they're real alright." noted Dipper.
"Yeah." added Pacifica flatly.
"I believe you're a big dork." answered Mabel.
Dipper used his pencil to stop the globe causing Mabel to fall off.
"Mason." said Mrs. Pines firmly.
"I was fine. We just goof around like that." replied Mabel.
Stan popped in the door.
"Soos. Wendy." began Stan.
Soos rushed over while Wendy continued reading her magazine.
"What's up, Mr. Pines?" asked Soos.
"I'm heading out." answered Stan.
"One can only wonder what criminal actives you were up to." said Gideon.
"I was scouting a chemical plant in the next county over." answered Stan.
"For the portal." realized Dipper.
"Yup. Someone needed to get Poindexter back." confirmed Stan.
"You two are going to wash the bathrooms, right?" asked Stan.
"Yes sir!" declared Soos.
"Absolutely not!" declared Wendy.
Wendy's answer got laughs from those watching.
"Stay out of trouble." said Stan.
Stan left and Wendy revealed a secret ladder to the roof. Soos was uncertain, but the twins followed Wendy to the roof.
"Is that where you fought Sherlock Holms?" asked McGucket.
"You get used to the weird things in Gravity Falls." shrugged Dipper.
Dipper suddenly had a flashback to Weirdmaggeddon.
"Are you okay son?" asked Mr. Pines.
"I'm fine." answered Dipper.
"I may or may not sneak up here during work, all the time, everyday." explained Wendy.
"Model employees ya got there." teased Gideon.
"Watch it or I will drop kick you again." warned Wendy.
Wendy threw a pinecone hitting a target on a totem pole. The twins joined in until one of Dipper's hit a van setting off its alarm.
"Jackpot! High five!" exclaimed Wendy.
"Oh no." groaned Dipper.
"So...you two are..." began Mrs. Pines.
"Just friends." said Wendy.
Pacifica quietly let out a sigh of relief.
"Don't leave me hanging." said Wendy.
Dipper high-fived Wendy and then bailed when her friends showed up.
"Honestly, I'd be more surprised if she actually stayed." noted Stan.
"Somebody's in love." teased Mabel.
"Yeah, right. I just think Wendy's cool, alright? It's not like I lay awake at night thinking about here." said Dipper.
The scene cut to that night as Dipper lay awake thinking about Wendy.
"Uh-oh." said Dipper concerned.
"Just friends." grumbled Pacifica.
It cut to the next day at the Mystery Shack. Mabel decided to have a "random dance part for no reason" and Dipper eyed Wendy. He wrote down on a clipboard that he was pretending to write something down. Wendy asked Dipper if he was joining them.
"I really don't dance." said Dipper nervously.
"Yeah, you do! Mom used to dress him in a lamb costume and make him do the...Lamby Dance." revealed Mable.
Mrs. Pines squealed in delight.
"Oh, you were so cute in that costume!" declared Mrs. Pines.
"Mom." groaned Dipper embarrassed.
"That I would like to see." muttered Pacifica.
"Now is not the time to talk about the Lamby Lamby Dance." said Dipper.
"Is there like ears and a tail?" asked Wendy.
Mabel produced a photo of young Dipper in the lamb costume.
"Dipper would prance around and sing a song about grazing." noted Mabel.
"Nice costume dork!" laughed Robbie.
"Hey, I think it suits him." added Gideon.
Robbie and Gideon both began laughing.
"So cute." whispered Pacifica.
The cuckoo clock went off and Wendy began leaving. However, Dipper asked if he, or both of them, could join her.
"How old did you guys say you are?" asked Wendy.
"We're thirteen! So, technically a teen." answered Dipper.
"About lying..." began Dipper.
"Oh please, I lied about my age to sneak into R-rated movies in middle school." shrugged Mr. Pines.
"Plus, I think it's romantic." added Mrs. Pines.
Wendy introduced the twins to her friends.
"I'm the guy who spray-painted the water tower." bragged Robbie.
"Oh, you mean the big muffin!" declared Dipper.
"It's a giant explosion." replied Robbie annoyed, as it was shown.
"That does look like a muffin." noted Mr. Pines.
"How did I not notice that?" asked Pacifica.
"It's so obvious." added Gideon.
Robbie glared at Dipper.
"Kinda does look like a muffin." noted Nate.
Robbie glared at Dipper.
"Let's hurry up guys." said Wendy.
Everyone piled into the van and Thompson noted his mom didn't want them punching the roof. Of course, they did just that. As they drove, Mabel crossed out 'You stink' and replaced it with 'You look nice today' in red marker.
"This is going to blow someone's mind!" declared Mabel.
"Oh yeah. That was me." said Mabel.
Back at the Shack, Stan was watching TV when The Duchess Approves began. He refused to get up to find the remote and found himself stuck watching it.
"No!" cried Stan.
"You really couldn't change it yourself?" asked Ford.
"I was comfortable!" answered Stan.
It returned to our group of teens and tweens at the abandoned Dawn 2 Dusk.
"I don't remember this." noted Wendy, surprised.
"Blind Eye?" asked Mabel.
"Blind Eye." agreed Dipper.
"Why'd they shut it down? Was it a health code violation?" asked Dipper, worried.
"Try murder." answered Nate.
"Some folks died in there and the place has been haunted ever since." explained Lee.
"I'm not liking this." muttered Mrs. Pines.
"This town has such a colorful history!" declared Mabel.
"That's an understatement." stated Stan.
The group all scaled the fence except for Dipper who was hesitant.
"Dude, your sister did it." said Robbie.
Mabel was shown doing her best Curly Howard impression.
"We watched Three Stooges shorts when Grandpa watched us." explained Dipper.
Lee climbed up and dropped Dipper off the fence. However, the doors to the Dusk 2 Dawn were locked.
"I think it's stuck." said Robbie.
"Let me take a crack at it." said Dipper.
"I know we taught you about not giving into peer pressure." said Mr. Pines disappointed.
"Oh yeah. I can't get in, but I'm sure Junior here is going to break it down like Hercules." scoffed Robbie.
"Come on, leave him alone. He's just a little kid." replied Wendy.
"I never did have a chance." thought Dipper.
Dipper climbed a nearby dumpster and got onto the roof. He knocked out a metal grate and climbed into the air vent. Moments later, he opened the door.
"That's my grand nephew!" declared Stan proudly.
"You shouldn't be encouraging breaking and entering." noted Mrs. Pines.
"You must give Dipper credit for his ingenuity." said Ford.
"Your new name is Dr. Funtimes." said Nate.
"Still is." confirmed Wendy.
"Good work." said Wendy, giving Dipper a playful punch.
Inside, Thompsons asked if the place was really haunted and the door open sign switched to close on its own.
Dipper and Mabel's parents tensed up.
"Whoa man, it's even creepier than I imagined." noted Wendy.
Mabel ran her hand across a dusty take a penny, leave a penny tray and licked it off her finger.
"Yup. It's dust." said Mabel.
Several people watching cringed at this.
"Hey, I had to be sure." shrugged Mabel.
Dipper found a newspaper dated 1995 while Wendy turned the light on.
"How are the lights still working?" asked Mrs. Pines worried.
"Maybe they found a perpetual motion contraption." answered McGucket.
"Yeah." muttered Stan, thinking of that fateful science fair.
The group began having fun getting into a food fight and exploding mints and cola. Mabel made an interesting discovery.
"Oh my gosh! Smile Dip! I thought this stuff was banned in America." said Mabel excitedly.
"Evil!" cried Mabel, horrified.
Mabel dabbed some on the provided wooden spoon, then proceeded to devour the entire contents of the package.
"Mabel, that's not good for you, honey." noted Mrs. Pines.
"Trust me, I'll never do it again. Not after this." replied Mabel.
"Dipper this night is like legendary.' stated Wendy.
"Really?" asked Dipper.
"Just look around. The guys are bonding." began Wendy.
Robbie and Nate stuffed ice into the pants of Thompsons while Lee cheered.
"Reminds me of my teen years." laughed Mr. Pines.
"I've never ever seen Tambry look up from her phone this long." continued Wendy.
Tambry looked up from her phone for a second.
"Trust me, that's a lot." said Wendy.
"And your sister seems to be going nuts with that Smile Dip." concluded Wendy.
Mabel was shown having gorged herself on Smile Dip.
"Maybe I've had too much. What do you think?" asked Mabel.
A Smile Dip induced hallucination was shown with a Flavor Pup.
"What in the world?" asked Pacifica confused.
"I said it was evil." groaned Mabel.
The Flavor Dip dog said something incoherent.
"I think that was backwards." noted Dipper.
"What does it mean?" asked Pacifica.
"Must distrust Grunkle." answered Axolotl.
Stan winced at this.
"Would you like to eat my candy paws?" asked a second Flavor Pup.
"Of course, you little angel." answered Mabel.
Mabel began eating the paw. It cut back to reality as a strung-out Mabel ate air.
"Stanley, remind me to test that Smile Dip next time we're in Gravity Falls." whispered Ford.
"You know Dipper, I wasn't sure you could hang with our crew at first, but you're surprisingly mature for your age." said Wendy.
Dipper smeared ice cream over his face trying to eat it.
"Oh man." sighed Dipper.
This had naturally led to laughs from the others watching.
"Hey guys! We need more ice!" called Lee.
"I'm on it!" declared Dipper.
Dipper grabbed a bag of ice, only to see a horrifying monster in the ice cooler. Dipper screamed and slammed the door.
"Aah!" cried Mrs. Pines horrified.
"Dude, what was that thing?" asked Wendy.
"I never found out." answered Dipper.
"Definitely need to pay that place a visit." decided Ford.
The others, minus Mabel, arrived hearing Dipper's scream. Dipper managed to distract them with Dancy Pants Revolution. Looking back, Dipper didn't see the monster.
"Honey, you should have spoken up." noted Mrs. Pines.
"I didn't want to seem like a baby." confessed Dipper.
"Dude, if you saw something like that you need to speak up." said Wendy.
Thompsons was playing Dancy Pants Revolution while Lee and Nate cheered him on.
"Wow. He's really terrible at this." said Wendy.
"Yeah. Yeah, that's great." said Dipper distracted.
Dipper saw the reflection of himself, Wendy, Robbie, and Tambry in the door. However, they were merely skeletons. Dipper rubbed his eyes and things were back to normal.
"I'll be right back." said Dipper.
"Wow dude." said Wendy surprised.
Dipper called Stan, but he was too invested in The Duchess Approves to notice.
"Yes! Yes! In your face Elizabeth!" declared Stan.
Stan got confused and surprised looks.
"What?!" asked Stan defensively.
"It's just like my life! In a way." exclaimed Stan.
"Now it makes sense." noted Ford flatly.
Dipper gave up and tried getting help from Mabel, but she replied with a gurgling noise.
"Mabel?" asked Dipper concerned.
Back in her hallucination, Mabel declared "The future...is in the past!" while riding Aoshima.
"Smile Dip is a heck of a drug." said Stan.
Robbie was using a quarter to scratch lottery tickets.
"You realize the odds of winning the lottery are incredibly slim. As a con man, they're the ultimate con." stated Stan.
Robbie dropped his quarter and found two chalk outlines on the floor.
"Okay, this is getting a bit out of hand." said Mrs. Pines worried.
Nate was dared to lay down in the outlines.
"Do kids these days have no manners?!" asked Ford angrily.
"Okay old man." said Stan.
Dipper tried talking him out of it.
"Just take it down a notch, Captain Buzzkill." said Robbie.
"I thought I was Doctor Funtimes." noted Dipper.
"Well, you're acting like Captain Buzzkill." stated Robbie.
Tate, Lee, and Tambry nodded
"Yeah, little bit." agreed Wendy.
"Sorry Dipper, I didn't want the guys to rag on me if I didn't agree.": said Wendy.
"It's fine." replied Dipper.
Tambry updated her status referring to Dipper as a nine-year-old.
"I'm thirteen! Technically a teen!" declared Dipper.
Dipper laid down in one of the outlines which summoned the ghosts of Ma and Pa.
"So, it was them who died. Honestly, a shame. They were two of the only people I conversed with regularly." said Ford, observing the outlines.
Tambry was suddenly sucked into her phone and appeared on the security camera screen.
"Man, I missed a lot." noted Mabel.
"Next time, stay away from the Smile Dip." proposed Dipper.
The group decided it was time to go.
"You were just going to leave what's her name?" asked Pacifica.
"Tambry and we would have gotten help." answered Wendy.
"From who?" asked Gideon.
"We would have figured something out. We weren't just going to leave her." said Wendy.
"Wait! I've almost got the high score!" declared Thompson.
"That shouldn't be more important than your safety!" exclaimed Ford.
"Never underestimate the allure of a high score." replied Soos.
Thompsons was suddenly sucked into the machine and rained on by arrows. Wendy and Dipper were horrified.
"Forget him! Let's go!" cried Robbie.
"Hey, it was me or him." shrugged Robbie.
The doors locked and Robbie's attempt to smash them open with the cash register failed.
"Whatever is doing this must have some kind of reason! Maybe if could figure out what it is, they'll let us out of here!" declared Dipper.
"Smart thinking." said Ford.
Robbie expressed his skepticism at Dipper's idea.
"I don't know guys, maybe he's got a point!" proposed Wendy.
Wendy could tell Dipper was grateful for the backup.
Lee was also skeptical, but suddenly was transported onto a cereal box where a cartoon toucan began eating him.
"Dude, maybe it's better we forgot this." muttered Wendy.
Nate agreed with Dipper when the now possessed Mabel levitated into the air.
"They got Mabel!" cried Dipper.
Mrs. Pines nearly passed out.
"It's okay mom. Everything is fine." said Mabel reassuringly.
"She won't like the sock opera incident." thought Dipper wearily.
"Welcome to your graves young trespassers!" declared the possessed Mabel.
The group apologized and it seemed as if the ghost would let them leave. However, this was trick and Nate was turned into a hotdog.
"Dude, is it wrong I would eat that?" asked Soos.
Wendy and Dipper hid in the cabinet under the Pitt dispenser.
"Hey Robbie, what happened to you?" asked Dipper.
"I found a safe hiding spot where those dumb ghosts couldn't find me." bragged Robbie,
"He crawled under a turned over shelf." answered Wendy bluntly.
Wendy and Dipper tried figuring out what they did wrong. Wendy noted her friends where only doing teenage thing and Dipper realized that was it. He crawled out and faced the ghosts. Ghost Mabel's head turned around followed by the rest of her body.
"So that's why my neck hurt." said Mabel.
Dipper revealed he wasn't a teenager so the ghosts of Ma and Pa let Mabel go.
"I'm twelve. Technically not a teen." said Dipper reluctantly.
Dude, you could have told us." said Wendy.
The ghosts of Pa and Ma explained how teenagers were a scourge on the store and their rap music with its "hateful" music caused them to die of double heart attacks.
"Is rap music really that bad?" asked Ford.
"It depends." answered Wendy.
With no other option, Dipper was forced to perform the Lamby Lamby Dance to save everyone.
"Oh no." groaned Dipper.
"Nice dance!" laughed Robbie meanly.
"Now I think he looks like an adorable little peach." said Gideon giggling.
Dipper hung his head in embarrassment as his mom sang along with every word.
"Oh! I missed you doing that so much!" squealed Mrs. Pines in delight.
"End me now." said Dipper.
"That was the most adorable thing I've ever seen." marveled Pacifica.
"That was some fine girly dancing, boy." said Pa.
Dipper groaned at this while Robbie and Gideon snickered.
The ghost turned everything back to normal and feed everyone before departing. Dipper picked up the pack of Smile Dip his sister had eaten.
"Hey, there's still some left." noted Dipper.
"Evil!" cried Mabel, smacking the package out of her brother's hand.
This got laughs out of those watching.
When asked what happened, Wendy lied and said Dipper chased the ghosts off with a baseball bat thus restoring Dr. Funtimes.
"Thanks Wendy." said Dipper gratefully.
"It was the least I could do after you saved everyone." shrugged Wendy.
The group began piling back into the van as Wendy said she was scarred for life.
"Man, if only I knew." chuckled Wendy.
"Hey, next time we hang out, let's stay at the Mystery Shack, okay?" proposed Wendy.
"Next time? Yeah! Let's...let's hang out at the shack!" agreed Dipper, failing to hide his excitement.
Pacifica felt her jealousy bubbling back up.
As they drove away, Mabel spotted the writing she left earlier.
"What kind of sick joke is this?" asked Mabel, still unwell.
"I guess you blew your own mind." noted Dipper.
Stan was shown still watching The Duchess Approves when the wedding scene was interrupted by Count Lionel. Stan threw the TV out then window when he spotted the twins who had returned.
"Couldn't find the remote." said Stan awkwardly.
"Sure, ya couldn't." said Gideon teasingly.
"Kids...I don't know if I am comfortable with you going back to Gravity Falls." revealed Mrs. Pines.
"What?!' asked Dipper horrified.
"No!" cried Mabel.
"We'd totally miss the little dudes!" declared Soos.
"Yeah, the summer was way better because of Dipper and Mabel." agreed Wendy.
"I just saw my daughter get possessed!" snapped Mrs. Pines.
"That builds character." shrugged Stan.
"Don't think we haven't forgotten about the apparent decades of lies." stated Mr. Pines.
Shermie cleared his throat.
"I think we should continue." proposed Shermie.
"Agreed. Let us continue." said Axolotl.
A/N: That's where we'll end things for now. We never did what happened to Robbie so I made something up. I included the credits scene because it wraps up the B plot and this is the shortest episode of the show. Next time, the events of "Dipper vs. Manliness" are covered. Please review.
