A/N: Hello everyone, I am back with chapter eight of this story. Here, the events of "Double Dipper are covered introducing Candy, Grenda, and the future Mrs. Dipper Pines.
Disclaimer: I don't own Gravity Falls
Things opened with the younger Pines twins playing with silly string while Soos and Wendy set up for a party.
"You kids could have helped." said Shermie.
"It was cool dude. Soos and I had everything under control." shrugged Wendy.
"I don't mind. We've always encouraged the kids' creativity." said Mrs. Pines.
"That's how Mabel discovered her love of arts and crafts." added Mr. Pines.
Wendy joined in as Mabel threw confetti on Stan.
"Comedy gold!" declared Mabel.
Everyone got a laugh out of the antics.
"Mr. Pines, who's birthday is it again?" asked Soos.
"Nobody's." answered Stan.
"Dipper, what day was this?" asked Ford.
"The trip to the convenience store was June 14..." began Dipper.
"This this was your birthday, Stanley." realized Ford somberly.
"Maybe it was." huffed Stan defensively.
"And it reminded of Ford so you didn't want to celebrate." realized Shermie.
"I get it. I don't like my birthday because of someone not in my life." sighed Soos.
Stan claimed this was to get kids to come to the Shack.
"The young people of this town want fun; I'll smother them with fun!" declared Stan.
"Maybe comments like that are why people don't come to the Mystery Shack." said Dipper.
There were several voices agreeing with this sentiment.
Stan told the kids to copy fliers and Soos gave his feelings about the copier store.
"That's actually not bad branding." admitted Pacifica surprised.
"See! He was a nature to succeed me!" declared Stan.
"Thanks Mr. Pines." replied Soos honored.
"You know the old copier in my office? I finally fixed the old girl up!" declared Stan.
"Are you talking about the copier I had in my lab?!" asked Ford stunned.
"I needed a copier and those aren't cheap." shrugged Stan.
While trying to get the copier working, Dipper accidentally made a copy of his arm.
"Success!" declared Mabel.
The paper began shaking and Mabel dropped it. The picture of Dipper's arm came to life and began crawling to the twins.
"What?!" cried Mrs. Pines horrified.
"How?!" asked Mr. Pines stunned.
"That copier has the ability to copy humans or body parts. Which is why it shouldn't be used so needlessly." said Ford.
"I wasn't going to spend money when I didn't have to." huffed Stan.
Mabel threw her soda on the arm which dissolved.
"I guess now it's unarmed." mused Pacifica.
Pacifica quickly covered her mouth when she realized she made a pun.
"Good one Paz!" declared Mabel.
After Mabel sprayed Dipper with silly string, again, the two had rejoined the others as Stan gave out assignment with Soos being DJ while Mabel and Wendy were assigned to the ticket stand.
"Grunkle Stan, this is my chance to make new friends!" declared Mabel.
"And I did." said Mable proudly.
Dipper volunteered to take her place. Stan noted he would have to stay with Wendy all night which Dipper had no problem with.
"Oh man." groaned Dipper embarrassed.
"Aw, your first crush is so cute!" squealed Mrs. Pines.
"Dumb brutish lumber girl." grumbled Pacifica jealously.
Dipper was getting ready in the attic when Mabel appeared and began to tease Dipper.
"Laugh all you want, but I devised a plan to make sure my night with Wendy goes perfect." said Dipper confidently.
"You're not making one of those overcomplicated listy things, are you?" asked Mabel.
Dipper scoffed, but then pulled a very long list.
"Geez, I wonder where you get that from?" asked Stan.
"I admit, you inherited that from me." said Ford.
Dipper had a fantasy sequence of him dancing with Wendy who swooned over his checklist.
"Nice one dork." laughed Robbie.
"You'd have a better chance of catching flies with vinegar than winning and ladies' heart with that sill list." added Gideon.
"At least I don't have to manipulate or brainwash anyone." countered Dipper
That silence Robbie and Gideon.
"Dipper, you're the only one getting in your way." noted Mabel.
"And you were so right." said Dipper.
"You used to do that a lot, but you've gotten better at that." noted Mr. Pines.
"That was because of how much we grew in Gravity Falls." said Mabel.
"We'll see about letting you go back." stated Mrs. Pines.
The party began with Soos as DJ and Stan talking to Mabel.
"Can your uncle throw a party or what?" asked Stan.
"It was one humdinger of a hootenanny!" declared McGucket.
"I could throw a better party in my sleep." huffed Gideon.
Stan grumbled angrily.
"It wasn't the worst party ever." said Pacifica.
"If anyone wants to leave, I'm charging an exit fee of fifteen bucks." revealed Stan.
It cut to Nate and Lee who were two dollars short. The two desperately began banging on a window.
"You let them go, right?" asked Shermie.
"I wouldn't have two freeloading teenagers hanging around." huffed Stan.
Outside, Dipper nervously tried making banter with Wendy only for it to fail.
"Oh man." groaned Dipper, hiding his face under his shirt.
Back inside, Mabel was dancing when she decided to take a break. She sat down and had water when she noticed the girl next to her had a lizard on her shoulder.
"Hi, I'm Grenda. This is Candy." said Grenda.
"Oh, you mentioned your new friends in your letters." said Mrs. Pines happily.
"I've found my people." said Mabel.
"And I never would have met them if I hadn't gone to Gravity Falls." stated Mabel.
"I'm thrilled you made new friends, but I'm still very hesitant to let you go back." stated Mrs. Pines.
Mabel's mood quickly soured.
"You can always talk with them online." noted Mr. Pines.
Mabel's dour mood didn't improve.
"Then can visit us in Piedmont." said Mrs. Pines.
Soos announced that someone would be leaving with the party crown.
"Most applause at the end of the night wins!" declared Soos.
As Mabel awed at the crown with her new friends, Pacifica arrived with her friends.
"Are you still friends with those two?" asked Dipper.
"They ditched me as soon as my family lost our money." answered Pacifica bitterly.
"I'll take that, thank you very much." said Pacifica.
Soos explained it was a competition but, Pacifica insulted Candy and Grenda.
"I was the worst." groaned Pacifica.
"Pacifica, that's not who you are anymore." said Dipper.
Pacifica smiled warmly at this.
"Matchmaker Mabel is at the ready." whispered Mabel excitedly.
Mabel decided to stick up for her new friends by competing against Pacifica.
"I'm Mabel." said Mabel.
"That sounds like a fat old lady's name" scoffed Pacifica.
The Pines' parents weren't exactly thrilled by this.
"Why did you name me Mabel?" asked Mabel, curious.
"We wanted you two to stand out." answered Mr. Pines.
"I'll take that as a compliment!" declared Mabel.
"Good job turning that around." said Mrs. Pines.
"I would have punched." shrugged Stan.
"She's going down." said Mabel calmly.
Pacifica found herself unnerved by how casual Mabel said that.
The battle began and Wendy asked Dipper to cover for her.
"Thanks man!" called Wendy.
Wendy left Dipper and joined the party inside.
"Sorry dude, that was a crummy thing to do." said Wendy.
"It's fine. It's not like I wasn't a jerk at times too." replied Dipper.
"Uncouth lumberjack." grumbled Pacifica jealously.
Dipper attempted to go inside, but was stopped by Stan who reminded him of his promise via a tape recorder.
"Grunkle Stan, why did you have a tape recorder on you?" asked Mabel.
"Those things are great for reminding people of things, or getting confessions as part of a deal to avoid felonies or blackmailing people." answered Stan.
"If only I could be in two places at once." sighed Dipper.
"And Chekov's copier comes into play." said Ford.
Dipper laid on the copier and fired it up.
"I wonder if this is a good idea." pondered Dipper.
"It was not." revealed Dipper.
"Trust me kid, it's better to ask those things in advanced. That way you won't need to tunnel out of prison." said Stan.
The copier made a paper clone of Dipper.
Now, how long 'til the clone turns on ya?" asked McGucket.
"I will call you...number two." said Dipper.
"Definitely not. You know what named I always wanted?" asked Number Two.
"Tyrone." said both Dippers in unison.
"It's not that I don't like my name. It's just...I've always like Tyrone." explained Dipper.
"Yeah. I like my name, but I like the name Louise." agreed Mabel.
Dipper told Tyrone he would cover at the ticket table while Tyrone already knew the plan. Both even had the same complicated list.
"Hey, we're not going to get jealous and turn on each other like the clones in the movies, are we?" asked Dipper.
"Dipper, please. This is you; you're talking about." said Tyrone.
Tyrone noted Dipper could dissolve him with water. The two began tapped their own heads then each other's head.
"Dude, that's kinda creepy." said Soos.
Dipper approached Wendy but, Robbie had arrived and showed off his new gutiar.
"I might have told my friends about the party." noted Wendy.
"It's cool. I can't control who you invite." shrugged Dipper.
"That's so mature of you." said Mr. Pines impressed.
Dipper had a new fantasy where Wendy was dancing with Robbie. She walked over to Dipper then punched him in the gut and told Robbie they should get married that night.
"What a cuck." snorted Robbie.
"Did you use cuck?" asked Wendy, annoyed.
"Dipper, are you okay?" asked Ford concerned.
"Yeah. Totally." answered Dipper confused.
"I know self-confidence issues are a thing when you reach this age, but i don't want it to get to you." explained Ford.
Dipper got a phone call from the clone who said the same fantasy. Wendy noted she and Robbie would be on the couch which worried Dipper.
"We've gotta think of something quick!" declared Dipper.
Dipper spotted Robbie's bicycle.
"You took my bike?!" asked Robbie angrily.
Dipper made another clone, but he noted he'd be alone if Robbie caught him. Thus, Dipper decided to make another clone.
"Uh-oh, paper jam." said Number Three.
Thus, Paper Jam Dipper was born.
"That's creepy dawg." said Soos uncomfortable.
As Dipper made another clone, it cut back to Pacifica singing "Always Means Forever" being able to break a plastic cup.
"Not quite my tempo." said Ford.
"Grenda, by the way, you sound like a professional wrestler." said Pacifica.
"I want to put her in a headlock and make her feel pain!" declared Grenda.
"I like her." said Stan.
Mabel started singing "Don't Start Un-Believing" as Grenda and candy danced.
"I'm going to do a flip!" declared Mabel.
Mabel flipped and faceplanted.
"That was for you guys!" declared Mabel.
"Mabel, we've told you to be careful when you dance." said Mr. Pines.
"Yeah, I toned it down after breaking the kitchen window when I tried tap dancing." said Mabel.
Soos made an announcement that a dirt bike was being stolen. Clones three and four rode off on the bike while Robbie chased them.
"You stole my bike!" exclaimed Robbie angrily.
"I'll pay you back when we're done!" declared Dipper nervously.
"Dipper, I am so proud of you." said Stan.
Soos began playing a slow song which Wendy noted she loved.
"Hey goofus, now's your chance to ask Wen..." began Mabel.
Dipper covered his sister's mouth with his hand and jumped off the couch arm.
"Now's your chance to ask Wendy to dance!" declared Mabel.
Pacifcia angrily grumbled.
"C'mon! Go!" cried Mabel.
Mabel pushed Dipper who began nervously walking to Wendy...only to run past Mabel.
"I'll be right back!" cried Dipper.
Dipper and Tyrone passed back and forth in the attic worrying over what might go wrong. Dipper decided they needed more help and made even more clones, bringing the number to ten.
"Dude, if you wanted to dance with me, you just needed to ask." noted Wendy.
"Yeah, my stupid anxiety got in the way." sighed Dipper.
"Well, you have improved on that front." said Mr. Pines.
"Thanks to my time in Gravity Falls." replied Dipper.
"I'm still not convinced on sending you back." stated Mrs. Pines.
The clones put the plan into action. Clone 10 distracted Soos with a CD that had 'Wendy Mix' on it. Clone 7 and Clone 5 helped to set the mood. Clone 8 put a dollar bill on a fishing rod and dangled it above it.
"Yeah, like I'm going to fall for that." said Stan.
"That is refreshing to see." said Ford happily.
Stan then began chasing after the dollar.
"And there it is." snickered Wendy.
"Stupid old man." grumbled Stan.
Stan ran passed Clone 6 who pulled on a rope ringing a bell.
"Pacifica, are you okay?" asked Dipper concerned.
"Yeah. I'm fine." answered Pacifica with a grateful smile.
Dipper went downstairs and found Wendy waiting for the bathroom.
"So hey, let's say everyone at this party gets stuck on a desert island. Who do you think the leader would be?" asked Wendy.
"I'd take my Racoon Wife!" declared McGucket.
"I'd have to take Poindexter since a nerd would be helpful." said Stan.
Thank you." replied Ford.
"I'd pick you Grunkle Stan." said Mabel.
"Yeah. You'd totally fight a sea monster for food." agreed Soos.
"I have!" declared Stan proudly.
"I'd pick you Wendy since you did kick butt during Weirdmageddon. Literally." said Dipper.
"My butt was so sore." muttered Gideon.
Pacifica shot Wendy a jealous look.
"What about you, Pacifica?" asked Dipper.
"If I still had my butler, I'd choose him." answered Pacifica.
"Then who would you pick now?" asked Dipper.
Pacifica tried hiding her blush.
"I think I'd go with this lunatic." said Wendy.
A short, sweaty man was showing aggressively dancing.
"I'd probably go with Stretch over there, uh, because tall people can reach coconuts." said Dipper.
"Good thinking kid." said Stan.
"Speaking of tall, wanna see something?" asked Wendy.
Wendy pulled out a picture of her brothers and herself when she was a bit younger.
"You were a freak!" declared Dipper, immediately regretting this.
"Mason!" cried Mrs. Pines.
"It's cool. He didn't mean anything by it." shrugged Wendy.
"Yup." agreed Wendy.
"You know, kids would make fun of my birthmark before I started hiding it all the time." revealed Dipper.
"I see kids can still be as cruel as ever." said Ford.
After a bit of pressure, Dipper revealed his birthmark.
"That's how you got your nickname! I thought your parents just hated you or something." said Wendy.
The Pines parents gave Wendy a pair of unhappy glares.
"She didn't mean anything by it." said Dipper.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you." said Wendy.
The Pines parents shared looks.
"It's okay." said Mr. Pines.
Wendy and Dipper toasted. An angry Pacifica stormed out of the bathroom and Wendy went inside. As she did, the other clones confronted Dipper.
"Number 10 has been distracting Soos for fifteen minutes; he's going to get tired of that dot eventually!" exclaimed Tyrone.
"Never!" declared Soos.
"That dot really did not disappoint." said Soos.
Dipper explained what happened and proposed they didn't need the plan but, the other clones couldn't believe this.
"If you're not going to stick to the plan, maybe you shouldn't be the Dipper to dance with Wendy." proposed Number 5.
The other clones agreed with Number 5.
"Well, who didn't see this coming." said Stan.
"We said we weren't going to turn on each other." noted Dipper.
"I think we all knew we were lying." replied Tyrone.
The clones threw Dipper into a closet.
"Dude, that stinks." said Wendy.
"I can't breath in here!" called Dipper, trying to trick his clones.
"Yes, you can! Plus, there's snacks and a coloring book in there for you!" said Tyrone.
"It was worth a shot." said Ford.
Dipper began angrily eating a cracker.
"So adorable." though Pacifica.
Tyrone nominated himself to dance with Wendy leading to a couple clones shoving each other.
"Hey guys, what would you do if you were trapped in a closet?" asked Tyrone.
"Break out." answered the other clones.
Sure enough, Dipper had escaped.
"How'd you get out?" asked Mabel.
"They didn't lock the door and I heard them arguing so I knew they'd be distracted." answered Dipper.
"Good thinking." replied Ford.
The clones stopped Dipper from calling to Wendy. Dipper said they were even and, if they fought, it would just go on. The other clones agreed only for Dipper to suck punch Tyrone.
"Yeah!" cried Stan excitedly.
"Clone fight!" cried Number 9.
"Huh, that's the title of the second Intergalactic Wars movie." mused Dipper.
"They made more?!" asked Ford excitedly.
The clones fought as regular Dipper made a race for Wendy. Dipper tried tricking them into thinking he was a clone, but it failed. Desparate, Dipper pulled out a party popper.
"Stay back!" exclaimed Dipper.
Dipper fired off the party popper which set off the sprinklers melting the clones. All jeered except for Paper Jame Dipper who said things were better this way.
"Anyone else feel bad for the dude?" asked Soos.
Several others agreed.
Dipper thought he was fine until he realized Tyrone was behind him.
"You!" declared Tyrone.
"Man, giving me flashbacks." said Wendy.
It cut back to the dance-off where things came down to the last dance.
"Pacifica, I just want to say that whoever wins, it's been a super fun party." said Mabel.
"Aww, it thinks it's going to win." replied Pacifica.
"You're not mean anymore." said Mabel.
Dipper and Tyone were fighting over who got to dance with Wendy.
"Definite flashbacks." said Wendy.
"At least nobody got an ax in the gut." noted Soos.
The two heard Wendy laughing and found her hanging out with Robbie.
"I came back because Wendy was more important than my bike." stated Robbie.
"Or because you lost track of them clones what stole it!" declared McGucket.
"We blew it man." said Dipper and Tyrone.
"Yup." said Dipper.
It was time to determine the party crown winner. Mabel got a good applause including Stan who had gotten the dollar.
"Do I want to know how you got it?" asked Gideon.
"My wits and determination." answered Stan.
"He grabbed the fishing line and chewed through it." revealed Wendy.
Pacifica got a lesser applause until she shot the crowd a glare getting more applause as a result.
"Uh-oh, a tie!" declared Soos.
Pacifica bribed McGucket with money to applaud for her giving Pacifica the victory.
"Sorry I took that money." said McGucket.
"It's fine." replied Mabel.
"You're lucky she didn't bribe Stan to applaud for her." said Gideon.
"I love money, but I love my family more." stated Stan.
Pacific won and announced an afterparty on her family's boat which everyone left to join.
"I'm surprised you parents let you throw a random party." said Dipper.
"I told them I won something and they were fine with it." sighed Pacifica.
Mabel apologized to Candy and Grenda, but they wanted to sleep over.
"Maybe we don't have as many friends as Pacifica, but we have each other, and that is pretty good I think." said Candy.
"Soos! Play another song! This thing's going all night!" declared Mabel.
"Way ahead of you, hambone." replied Soos.
"It is nice to see Mabel make friends." thought Mrs. Pines happily.
Dipper and Tyrone where on the roof.
"Do you think we really have a chance with Wendy?" asked Dipper.
Dipper couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
"I mean she's fifteen, we're twelve." continued Dipper.
"That's it?" asked Mr. Pines.
Mrs. Pines shot her husband a look warning him to watch what he said next.
"That isn't too big of a gap. Look at the model who married the almost ninety-year-old businessman." said Mr. Pines.
"Mabel was right, I do get in my own way." said Dipper.
"Right as always." said Mabel proudly.
The duo took a drink of Pitt cola which melted Tryone.
"Goodbye Tyrone." whispered Dipper sadly.
Things ended with Dipper heading back inside.
"Dipper, you okay dude?" asked Soos.
"Yeah...I just miss Tyrone." answered Dipper.
"I mean...it's not like he could have come home with us." noted Mabel.
"Yeah. It's just...he understood me." admitted Dipper.
"He was you, dork." huffed Robbie.
"Hey, we did dance together after you came back in." revealed Wendy.
"What?!" asked Robbie and Pacifica.
"It was a fast song and there wasn't physical contact." stated Dipper.
"Great." grumbled Pacifica.
"They're not together." whispered Mabel.
"I don't care!" cried Pacifica flustered.
Pacifica quickly recomposed herself.
"Look, next time we met, I'm going to give you that crown. You earned it." said Pacifica.
"That's so nice of you, but you don't have to." replied Mabel gratefully.
"It turns out shaawing feels good." shrugged Pacifica.
Hey, the clones that stole Robbie's bike never came back." realized Mabel.
"I guess they're out there somewhere in the woods." mused Dipper.
"Yeah. I've seen those dudes hanging out. I thought it was you at first." said Soos.
"Should we do something about that?" asked Ford.
"The dudes don't bother anyone." noted Soos.
"Then it'll be fine to leave them for now." said Ford.
"Let us continue." said Axolotl.
A/N: And that's where we'll end things for now. Yes, that was a Bob's Burgers reference and Louise Belcher is my favorite character. That was also a Whiplash reference and it won't be the only one. The model Mr. Pines was talking about was Anna Nichole Smith.
As noted, we got three new characters introduced this episode. I like Grenda as she has a unique personality and plenty of funny moments. Candy...is dull. I don't hate her, but she leaves no lasting impression on me. And of course, Dipcifica is the true path.
