? DISCONTINUED ?
As you ditch your parents to leave for the town called Gravity Falls, Oregon. You find new friends to spend unusual, yet fun days with. One fateful day, you find a weird stone triangle statue... And shake his hand... Now, there is a...
Jimenez walks out, but right before she does, she whispers to you, "Come meet the government for the money at Greasy's Diner tomorrow at noon, exact time..."
__________
What was that all about? You sighed. "Well, that was extremely weird," Ford announced. Dipper nodded, also confused. But Mabel was being ecstatic about being on the news.
"I still have no idea what that was," You said. "I saw Shandra Jimenez whispering to you, what did she say?" Dipper asked. You stared at Dipper, "The government is willing to give me a million dollars tomorrow." Mabel shouted happily, "A MILLION DOLLARS!? THAT'S LIKE..." Mabel started counting on her fingers, "THAT'S LIKE SIX ZEROS AND SEVEN DIGITS!" "Oh, geez... Why would they give you that much money?" Dipper questioned. You replied, "For keeping my mouth shut." "That makes sense," Ford reacted. "How? Didn't you guys tell me about the whole Gravity Falls weirdness thing where there are gnomes, shapeshifters, unicorns, and stuff? And how this was normal for the town?" You asked plainly. Ford leaned to you and whispered, "There is a law in this town that prohibits anyone from talking about extremely weird things." Dipper nodded as he eavesdropped on the conversation, "Yeah, it's the Never Mind All That Act." "Grunkle Ford, didn't you say there was an apocalypse?" You asked, not whispering. "SH! Don't talk about it too loudly... You might be put in jail..." Ford whispered even quieter. "B-but I'm eleven!? How can I be put in jail!? At the most, I should be put in juvy," You said. "If you're over the age of ten. You can go to jail. Trust me, I've been to the county jail for counterfeiting money," Mabel shivered. "And, why exactly were you doing that?" You asked. "Grunkle Stan made Dipper and I-" Mabel explained, but you cut her off, "Grunkle Stan... That explains things a lot." "And Gideon was also in jail before, when he was 10 years old," Dipper mentioned. Gideon... "Oh! I have a question I wanted to ask you guys... Who's Gideon?"
The door to Greasy's Diner flung open and came in a boy. He was wearing a baby blue suit that looked slightly too large for him, but it still looked sharp on him. He was short, about half your size. But if you counted the hair... He had white hair going in a swoop which was almost as tall as himself... He was about your height. He also smelled like a combination of baby powder, after-shave, and marshmallows. "I'm 'Lil Gideon! Give me the pancakes!" The boy said in a nasal-like voice.
"That's Gideon?" You said in a confused and unimpressed voice. "That's right. He used to own this thing called Tent of Telepathy. And can you believe it!? He used to be my boyfriend!? He's such a creep," Mabel pointed out. You slid down the seat a bit disappointed, "How many dates did you go with him?" "Like, two..." Mabel responded. "I'm glad he changed for the better and decided to be a normal kid," Dipper said sarcastically. "It's been a year since I met him, maybe he did change for the better. Though after what he did, I can't say that I trust him all that much," Dipper said, sounding a bit more hopeful about the situation. "I can't believe it! The free pancakes are gone!" Gideon shouted from far away at Lazy Susan. "I'm sorry, but there's nothing we can do about that. That girl over there won the pancakes fair and square," And Lazy Susan pointed at you.
Gideon stomps over to you with an angry expression on his face, "You!" "Uh, yes?" You replied, a bit scared. Gideon stands in front of you fiercely and stares at you, "Can I have a pancake?" And Gideon makes a cute pose. Dipper and Mabel stare at you like you were going to be killed by him, yet Ford looked at Gideon with a blank expression.
"Uh, sure? You can have the last pancake," You said.
"Ooh! Thank you so much!" And you dropped the last pancake in his hands. "My name is 'Lil Gideon!" Gideon expressed. He outstretched his hand to shake yours. You hesitantly outstretched your hand and shook his buttery textured hand (presumably from the pancake you gave him). Gideon jumped up on the seat with a bit of trouble (because he was so short), and sat beside you. Dipper looked at you and Gideon nastily. "I see you're a friend of Mabel and Dipper! What's your name?" Gideon turned his head to you. "Uh, I'm Y/N," You responded, munching on your pancake. Gideon giggled. How is he so gleeful? I bet his last name is that. "What did you do to Dipper and Mabel to deserve their hatred?" You asked, finally. Gideon's joyful expression turned serious as he stared at Dipper and Mabel. He then looked back at you like nothing happened and took a bite of his pancake. "Oh, I don't know... Maybe I made a giant bot of myself called the Gideon Bot and tried to kill them!" Gideon said joyfully like he wasn't talking about trying to kill your friends. "Is that why you ended up in jail?" You said nervously. "No! You got it all wrong! I ended up in jail because I was spying on the locals with pins," Gideon said in the same intonation. You looked even more concerned. "Well, I better be going! And don't worry, I'm a normal kid now and have set my ways to good! Meet me tomorrow at 3 P.M. so we can hang out later!" Gideon finished his pancake quickly and ran out as fast as he could with his little legs out the Greasy's Diner door. You sighed to the adventure group, "I don't trust Gideon Gleeful that much. But I'll give it a shot to make friends with him. Having enemies as your friends... That are friends-friends. Is better than having enemies. It's better that someone supports your side rather than betray it. I'm skeptical of everything and everyone I see. I try to see their true intentions before actually trusting them. But first, I need to show that I trust him so he could trust me." Ford nodded in total agreement. But then Dipper asked something unexpected...
"How did you know Gideon's last name was Gleeful?.."
You get back home and watch some Duck-tective with Mabel, Dipper, Wendy, and Stan. You had never seen it before, but it was fun. It was stupid yet funny. Dipper, Mabel, and Wendy were happy about how you got to experience it for the first time as they tried to keep Grunkle Stan from revealing spoilers. You tried to follow along with the mystery and figure things out. You had fun and you became tired. Dipper and Mabel went to sleep. Stan was snoring loudly as Wendy and you watched the show on her phone in another room. "'Sup dudes! Watching Duck-tective? I love that show," You heard a voice from behind you. You got a bit jump scared and looked back in shock, "Soos!? Phew, you scared me! Please don't do that again. Why are you up so late?" Wendy looked back too. "I couldn't sleep, so I was trying to see if I could lick my elbow. But now I can't sleep because I was licking my elbow! Isn't that fun, dude?" Soos replied and chuckled. "Wanna watch Duck-tective with us?" Wendy asked Soos. "Sure! That would be fun, dude!" And Soos sat down beside you to watch Duck-tective on Wendy's phone.
At like 11 o'clock you say to Wendy, "I'm sorry, but I have to go to sleep." "Oh, why, man? Didn't you say that you like to pull all-nighters?" Wendy disappointedly asked. "I don't necessarily like to pull all-nighters because it just will frick up my body and brain because I don't sleep. But I do need to go to sleep because I have two events tomorrow that I need to attend," You responded. "What events?" Wendy asked. "First, I'm going to receive a million dollars from some government guys. And second, Gideon wants me to attend a little friend hang out with him." "Gideon? Oh, no way, dude, he's a total creep," Soos says. You sigh, "Well if I get on his better side, he might get on the better side of Dipper and Mabel." Wendy sighs, "Just call me if something weird happens to you," Wendy sighs. For some reason, the word, "Weird," triggered you. And you felt a strange shiver down your spine. "Wendy, I don't have your phone number. How can I call you?" You answered. Wendy got a look of realization, "Duh! I forgot about that, man! I'm sorry, wanna exchange numbers?" You shrugged, but it wasn't to say that you don't know something, but it meant a sure. Wendy and you exchange numbers and said goodnight to each other. You lay down on your bed, and its smoked fish smell has almost gone away. You close your eyes and after a hard while, fell asleep.
"Kid, watch out tomorrow... The government guys want to give you fraudulent money. And Gideon is going to do something very strange. So I recommend you bring your blacklight, to prove to the government guys that you're right about the money being fake. And a magnifying glass because you're gonna need it for Gideon," You hear Bill say this right before you fall asleep...
P.S. I can't believe that I got to chapter 10! I didn't expect that I would get this far! It was supposed to be just a project for some personal fun. And I can't believe I have 14 readers and I'm #169 out of 17.5K in the GravityFalls tag (at this current moment of posting this chapter). If you read this far... Thank you for supporting me and reading my work. You guys keep me going and keep me Gleeful as a 'Lil Gideon. Let's throw a 10-chapter anniversary party with Bill as the host that never dies!
Cheers to my fans, friends, and supporters! 🥂
