Your POV
Stan, the twins, and I were in the living room watching tv. There was a new episode of Duck-tective, what could we do? The doorbell rang, and Stan went to get it.
Stan: *opens the door* Welcome to a world of mystery!!!
Man: Stan Pines?
Stan: The tax collector!!! You found me!!! *throws a bomb of dust that covers the man's view as Stan runs back into the living room where he throws away a painting/wooden box which hid a bag of money, he then starts pressing random stones on the wall* Which one of these is the trapdoor?!?
Man: Mr. Pines. *enters the house* I'm from the winning house coupon savers contest, and you are our big winner!!!
A man with a camera and two women carrying a large check came through the park.
Stan: My one and only dream, which was to posses money, has come true!!!
Dipper: We're rich!!! I'm gonna get a butler!!!
Mabel: I'm gonna buy a talking horse!!!
You: I'm getting a(n) (whatever it is you desire to get 😂)!!!
Man: *takes out a paper* Just sign here for the money.
Stan: You bet!!! *signs the paper*
Gideon: *comes through the check breaker it* Ha, Stanford you fool!!! You just signed over the Mystery Shack to little ol' me!!! *does some weird dance* Ha-cha-cha-cha-cha!!!
You, Dipper, and Mabel: *gasp*
Stan: Uh, might wanna take another look there.
Gideon: "Shack is hear by signed over to- Suck a lemon little man?!?!?!?"
Stan: *laughs*
Gideon: *rips the paper in half* How dare you?!?
You, Dipper, and Mabel: *laugh*
Gideon: I am not a threat to be taken lightly!!! *raises his arms* Come here hon, I need your arms.
Man: *picks up Gideon*
Gideon: I'll get you Stanford Pines, I'll get you all!!!
Man: *leaves with his crew and Gideon*
You, Dipper, Mabel, and Stan: ...
Stan: Wanna see what else in on tv?
You: Sure.
Dipper: Yeah.
Mabel: Yeah, alright. My favorite part's the theme song.
The next day we were at the gift shop. Dipper and Mabel were playing chest, Soos was reorganizing, and I was sketching on my journal (I sometimes add random sketches).
Mabel: *moving a pawn* Little guy to black space nine!
Dipper: It's a pawn, that's not your color, and stop stealing the tiny horses!
Mabel: *with the horse figures in her sweater's pocket* They like it better in here!!! Don't you babies? *does horse noises*
Dipper: *uses his pawn to knock down Mabel's king* And checkmate.
Mabel: What? Booo!!!!
Dipper: *takes out a small notebook and writes a point* Ohhh, Dipper wins again!!!
Soos: Yo, Mabel, can you pass me that brain in a jar? The lady one?
Dipper: *stands up* I got it.
Soos: Thanks, but Mabel's taller.
Dipper: What? No she's not, we're the same height, we've always been!
Soos: Better check again dude. *jumps off the step*
You: *throw a measuring tape at Soos who catches it*
Dipper and Mabel: *go back to back*
Soos: *measures them both* Yep, she's got exactly one millimeter on you.
Dipper: What?!?
Mabel: Woah, don't you see what's happening, Dipper? This millimeter is just the beginning!!! I'm evolving into the superior sibling!!! Bigger!!! Stronger!!!
Soos: Like some kind of alpha twin!!!
Mabel: Alpha twin!!! Alpha twin!!!
Dipper: C'mon guys, no one even uses millimeters! It only makes you taller than me in Canada.
Mabel: You know Dipper, I've always wanted a little brother, who know I already had one?!? *laughs* Yeah!!!
You: You're still twins you know.
Stan: *enters* I was awoken by the sound of mockery. Where is it, show me the object of ridicule!
Mabel: I'm talker than Dipper!!!
Dipper: By one millimeter!
Stan: Hey hey, don't get short with your sister! *laughs*
Mabel: Grunkle Stan, I hope you don't think little of him! *laughs*
Stan: *laugh* Yeah!!! And uh, he's short!!!
Mabel and Stan: *laugh*
Soos: Dude, maybe you should lay off a tiny bit.
Stan: Ha, tiny!!! Soos is it on it now!!!
Mabel and Stan: *laugh some more*
Dipper: *leaves*
You: ...
Soos: N-no, no, I didn't mean that!
Mabel: Dipper will forget, he's got a- three, two, one-
Mabel and Stan: Short-term memory!!!
Mabel: Haha, pow!!! We are on fire!!!
Mabel and Stan: *high five*
Stan: Ow, ooh, that's ah-
Mabel: I high five hard.
Mabel and Stan: *walk into the living room laughing*
Later on Dipper left with his journal and a scowl on his face. Uh oh. I then notice Soos starring at me expectingly.
You: *wait for him to say something*
Soos: Aren't you gonna go after Dipper?
You: Huh?
Soos: You always follow him to try and make him feel better, and you also try to stop him from doing something stupid. Never works, but it's your thing.
You: How do you know that?
Soos: A man has ways, dude.
You: ...
Soos: ...
You: *sigh* I'll be back soon.
I ran outside, no sign of Dipper. Perfect. I ran to the forest where I heard murmurs which as I got closer sounded like complains. It was Dipper! I yelled his name so he would know I'm there. He turned around, but tripped on a rock and fell backwards. I jumped slid down the hill myself, it was kinda my fault that he fell.
You: Oh my gosh, I am so, so sorry!
Dipper: It's fine, I wasn't looking. What are you doing here?
You: "Following you so I can try and stop you from doing something stupid." Soos's words, not mine.
Dipper: *chuckles*
You: *gasp slightly*
Dipper: What?
You: *point at Dipper's stomach where a tiny deer stood*
Deer: ... *jumps off*
Dipper: Woah...!!!
Deer: *goes with his family of miniature deer*
You: Aw!
Dipper: *stares at a miniature eagle that flies in front of his nose* Huh?
You and Dipper: *hear a strange rawr-ing sound and look at where it come from to see a mountain lion*
Dipper: Is that mountain lion tiny or just far away in perspective?
Mountain Lion: *runs towards you to attack*
You: Perspective!!! Perspective!!!
You and Dipper: AHHH!!!
The mountain lion passes through a pinkish light causing it to... shrink?!? It jumps inside Dipper's vest making him laugh, then climbs unto Dipper's hand and bites into his finger.
Dipper: Still hurts, but less.
Mountain Lion: *jumps off and leaves*
The light was coming from a beautiful giant crystal. A butterfly passed through the pink light, shrinking itself, then passed through the blue light making itself grow a LOT!!! The giant butterfly knocked over a tree.
You: Wow...!!!
Dipper: What the heck...?!? *takes out a small crystal from the ground and inspects it*
You: Oh no.
Dipper: What?
You: I know that look. We didn't accidentally stumble into this place, you were trying to find it!
Dipper: I uh-
You: Why do you want it anyways?
He told me he would explain at home, so we went back home. We got to our room and Dipper, with the crystal and a flashlight, made a new invention.
Dipper: *flips and points up, then flips to the other "mode"* ... *points the pink light at a pawn* Smaller, bigger *points the blue light at the pawn causing it to go through the roof*
You: Too big!!!
After testing it out, we went downstairs to see Mabel and Soos talking.
Mabel: I've been buying big clothes, I'll grow into them.
Dipper: Hey guys, notice anything different about me?
Soos: *stares at Dipper* Holy hot sauce! You've grown an extra millimeter!
Mabel: W-w-what?!?
Soos: *measures Dipper with a ruler*
Dipper: What can I say sis, growth spurt.
Mabel: Yeah, mine happened first. I'm gonna be taller in the end, it's science, Dipper.
Dipper: What? But we're the same height now!
Mabel: Alpha twin!!! Alpha twin!!!
Dipper: Oh yeah? Something tells me I've got another growth spurt coming on right now! *storms out*
You: !!!
I look at Mabel who was glaring at the Dipper had left through. I ran up to the room with Mabel at my tail. A familiar noise came from our room. He didn't!
You and Mabel: *enter the room*
Mabel: Give it up Dipper! *gasp*
He did!!! He was inches taller now!!!
You: What the-?!?
Mabel: What happened?!?
Dipper: You know, puberty and stuff.
Mabel: That doesn't make any sense!!! Just a second ago you're- Wait a minute!!! This is some kind of magic-y thing, isn't it?!? Was it a wizard or something?!? There's a wizard in this closet, isn't there?!? Isn't there?!?
Dipper: What?!? No!!!
Mabel: You're telling me there is not a wizard in this closet?!? You're telling me that if I open this door right now-?!?
Dipper: Ok fine, open it!!!
Mabel: *opens the closet door to see nothing but a few pieces if clothing* An invisible wizard!!! Really, Dipper?!? Does he only respond to incantations?!? Excpecto wizzarium!!! Wizle!!! Wizar!!!
Dipper: It's not a wizard!!! *takes the flashlight* I grew myself using this magic flashlight!!!
Mabel: *looks at Dipper* ...let me see that thing!!!
Dipper: *runs out*
Mabel: *looks qt the closet* I'll be back for you later. *follows Dipper*
You: *sigh*
I ran after them who ran outside and started fighting and arguing, you know, like siblings do. However, they were using the flashlight. I eventually snatched it from them holding it high so they couldn't reach it. Unfortunately, I was pushed back by them causing me to drop the flashlight. We didn't notice Gideon was nearby and he took the it. He pressed the button a few times and we tried to tell him to stop, but he pointed the pink light to us, shrinking us.
He started laughing before locking us up in his jar. The ride wasn't long, and he let us out of the jar (by shaking us out) in a dark room.
Gideon: You three.
Mabel: W-what are you gonna do to us?!?
Gideon: Why Mabel, *shuffle's Mabel's hair with his finger* I wouldn't hurt a hair on your eedy beedy head! If you agree to be my queen.
Mabel: *pushes the finger away* We live in a democracy!!! And never!!!
Gideon: Maybe you'll change your mind after this!!! *picks up Mabel*
Mabel: No, I will fight you until the day I- *gasp* Gummy Koalas!
Gideon: *drops Mabel in the gummy bag*
Mabel: *starts to eat a gummy koala*
Gideon: As for you two, *points a light at you* tell me!!! How exactly did you come with this magic item, hm?!? Did somebody tell you about it? Did you read about it somewhere?
You and Dipper: *look at each other with worry*
You: *look beside you, then back at Dipper with a nod*
Dipper: Lean closer and I'll tell you.
Gideon: Well, don't mind if I-
You: *ring the airhorn in Gideon's ear*
Gideon: AHHH!!! *turns around and breathes heavily, then pushes the light unto the ground and anger and prepares to punch you and Dipper* I can squash you right now!!!
Dipper: *pulls you behind him*
Gideon: *puts his arms to his sides* Steel yourself Gideon, you can use them. *whispers* You can use them. *goes over to his phone and calls someone*
Person: Hello?
Gideon: Stanford Pines, listen to me very closely, I have your niece, nephew, and their friend. Hand over the dead of the Mystery Shack right now or great harm will befall them!!! ...this is Gideon, by the way.
Stan: *laughs* Oh yeah, this is gonna be your worst plot yet. They're fine, I saw them playing in the yard minutes ago.
Gideon: I have'm in my possession!!! You don't believe me?!? I will text you a photo!!!
Stan: Text me a photo? Now you're not even speaking English.
Gideon: But-
Stan: *hangs up*
Gideon: Hello? H-hello?!? *throws the phone with rage into the wall next to you causing the phone to break*
You and Dipper: *cover yourselves from the broken phone pieces*
Gideon: Wait. *chuckles, chuckles loudly, then turns into an evil cackle* What am I doing?!? I don't need ransom!!! *picks up the flashlight* I have this!!! I'll shrink Stan and take the shack for myself!!! You'll be helpless to stop me. *picks up four wooden dolls* And if any of you step out of line? *pulls of the dolls' heads letting them fall unto the desk* Smash!!! *cackles evilly*
Bud: *from another room* Gideon, the ice cream truck is here!!!
Gideon: Ooh, comin'!!! *starts to go to the door, then stops and grabs a cage with a hamster inside and lets the hamster out* Gard'm Cheekums. I'm coming!!! *leaves*
You and Dipper: *stare at Cheekums a little frightened*
Cheekums: *squeaks*
Dipper: *grabs a nearby Q-Tip and pokes Cheekums's stomach*
Cheekums: *squeaks*
Dipper: *drops the Q-Tip* We got to get out of here and save Stan!
Mabel: I know!!! *puts the gummy koala's head in her pocket* I will see you later.
You: How will we get out of here?!? Gideon's got magic and a zillion inches on us!!!
Dipper: On the bright side, al least we're finally the same height again!
Mabel: Actually...
Dipper: ...
You: *groan before looking for a ruler inside a pencil case, then you place it beside the twins*
Dipper: You're still talker?!? Ug, how did this happen?!?
Mabel: I guess it's another mystery!
Dipper: Just another reason we gotta get that flashlight back. *looks down to the floor*
Mabel: *gets on Cheekums* Cheekums, to freedom!!! *pats his side* ... To freedom!!! *pars him again, then hugs Cheekums* Aww, you're just a big old dummy dumb!
You: *giggle*
Dipper: *looks at the hairbrush* I have a plan.
We use the locks of Gideon's hair to go down. We go to what I assume to be the living room and we hide in a boot. It smelled awful!!! Anyways, Gideon was with his father Bud eating ice cream.
Gideon: *puts the box of ice cream down before licking his hands* Clean me!!!
Bud: *cleans Gideon with a baby wipe*
Gideon: Father, could you give widdle ol' me a wide to the Mystery Shack~?
Bud: Oh, I'd love to, sugar pie, but I have a heck of a lot of cars to sell! *starts to tickle Gideon* I do!
Gideon: *laughs uncontrollably* No, no, DON'T TICKLE ME!!! *throws the ice cream box to the wall* Never, NEVER tickle me!!! What have I told you, what have I- look at me, what have I told you?!?
Bud: Tickling is no laughing matter...
Gideon: *pats Bud's cheek* There we go.
Bud: Do you still need a ride?
Gideon: I'll just take the bus!!! *knocks over a nightstand, kicks open the door, and storms out*
Bud: Precious memories.
Mrs. Gleeful: *whispers to herself* Just keep vacuuming, just keep vacuuming.
You: Man, that kid sure loves to destroy stuff!
Mabel: I'll say!
Dipper: C'mon!
We run and go out the doggie door. We somehow managed to climb up the giant dollar sign where we could have a better view. We see Gideon sitting on a bench with Lazy Susan.
Lazy Susan: What cute little thing are you off to, you cute little cutie face?
Gideon: I'm gonna annihilate my archenemy's entire family!
Lazy Susan: Oh, ok... Yay....!
Gideon: *leaves on the bus*
You: He's heading to shrink Stan!!!
Mabel: Oh flying discount dollar, if only you could fly us back to the Mystery Shack.
Dipper: Maybe it can! *cuts the ropes holding the flying discount dollar*
I don't know how but it worked . We were on our way to the Mystery Shack! We ended up crashing into the totem pole but luckily we didn't get injured and just climbed on to it.
Dipper: We're just in time! *points at the arriving bus* But how are we gonna atop him?!?
Woodpecker: *pecks on Dipper's hat*
Dipper: Ah, shoo!!!!
You: *hold a laugh*
Mabel: *thinks for a bit before smirking* Leave that to Mabel!
We slid down the decorative rope (or however you call it). Gideon was about to open the door when Mabel through the gummy koala unto his hair*
Mabel: I'm sorry gummy friend!
Dipper: It's for the greater good.
Gideon: Oh, one of those inferno gummy koalas got into my perfect hair!!! *drops the flashlight* I can't defeat Stan looking like this! *goes to a sideways bathtub and uses it as a mirror to fix his hair*
You, Dipper, and Mabel: *make it down to the flashlight*
Mabel: Quick, get in front I'll regrow you two!
You: *nod*
Dipper: Wait, you're gonna grow us to equal height, right?
Mabel: Dipper, that doesn't matter!
You: Guys-!
Dipper: Well, if it doesn't matter then why don't you just do it?!?
Mabel: Why are you acting so weird?!? Why can't you just accept that I'm a little bit taller than you?!?
Dipper: Oh, I'm acting weird?!? You're the one that keeps calling me names and stuff!!!
You: Guys-!!!
Mabel: Oh what, you mean like-!!!
Dipper: Don't say it!
Gideon: Little Dipper. *picks you and the twins up* I dare say you would've defeated me if it wasn't for your sibling bickering!!! *kicks open the door* The shack is mine Stanford Pines!!! *shrinks Stan*
You, Dipper, Mabel: NO!!!
Gideon: Well well, Stanford, it appears I finally gotten the best of- *lifts up Stan's fez revealing a tiny Soos*
Soos: *gasp*
Gideon: What?!?
Soos: Alright, something's definitely different here.
Gideon picks up Soos and places him in a jar along with the twins and I. He shakes the jar.
Gideon: Tell me where Stan is!!!
Soos: Never!!! You'll never find Stan!!! On the second door to the left down the hall!!! Oh wait, why did I say that?
Gideon: *closes the jar's lid then places it on his pocket* Stanford, I'm coming for ya!!!
You, Dipper, Mabel, and Soos: *try to break out*
Mabel: *sees Gideon's ID then blows raspberries at it*
Soos: Guess I kinda Soosed that one up.
You: It's not your fault.
Dipper: I'm the guy who put together that shrinking device. I guess it's just you kept teasing me, Mabel, like all day! What was that all about?
Mabel: *takes out the points list and gives it to Dipper* I guess it's that you're better at me at like everything and you always rub it in my face. Chess, checkers, ping pong, I guess I finally felt like I was winning at something for once.
Dipper: Oh man, now I feel like a big jerk...
Mabel: Don't you mean a little jerk?
Dipper and Mabel: *laugh*
Dipper: Alright, I walked into that one. *kneels down* Are we cool? *offers a fist bump*
Mabel: *fist bumps Dipper* We're cool.
Soos: *offers a fist bump* Am I cool?
Mabel: *fist bumps Soos* You're cool Soos.
Soos: Yes!!!
Dipper: *looks at you and offers a fist bump*
You: ... *fist bump Dipper and smile* Well, now that that's out of the way, we still need to find a way to save Stan!
Gideon: *gasp* Stanford!!!
Stan: *in all the mirrors* Oh hi Gideon! I've been looking for someone to try out my new mirror maze! Then again, you're an idiot, that's the end of the sentence. *runs off*
Gideon: You come back here!!!
Stan: Try and find me twerp!!!
We came up with a plan to open the jar. We sat on each other's shoulders and were able to open it!!! We climbed up to Gideon's shoulders and his... well, I would say neck but it's just head fat.
Mabel: Woah, he's hair's so shiny...!!! *tries to touch it*
Dipper: *stops Mabel* Don't look directly at it!!!
Soos: *jumps unto the fatness and starts to make... skin angels...?* His neck is really squishy! Hey look! I'm making fat angels!!!
Gideon: Ew, termites!!! *tries to hit Soos who falls off Gideon*
Soos: Tell my story!!!
We run to the other pocket where the flashlight was. But before he take reach it, Gideon grabbed it to attack the reflection of Stan. The light bumped into many mirrors before it finally hit a moose head. In frustration, Gideon threw the flashlight (that kid has a thing for throwing things in anger) at the mirror, breaking it.
Stan: Hey, watch the merchandise!!!
Gideo: *picks up the flashlight and smirks, then starts breaking all the mirrors*
Stan: *comes out* You little troll!!! These mirrors cost me ten- I-I mean uh, twenty five- five hundred, five hundred dollars each!!! And you're paying for all of them!!!
Gideon: Oh contraire, it'll be you who pays!!! *points the flashlight at Stan*
Mabel: Grunkle Stan is doomed!!!
Dipper: Not completely doomed, to the armpit!!!
You: What?!?
Mabel: Uh uh!!!
He pushes us both under. WHY ME!!!! As we crawl, I hear the conversation of Gideon and Stan.
Stan: Woah, what is that thing?
Gideon: Finally, after all these years, after every humiliation!!! You're business, your family, everything will finally be mine!!! You have no one to protect you now!!! Prepare for the wrath of Gideon Glee- Gideon Glee- *falls to the ground and starts to laugh uncontrollably*
You, Dipper, and Mabel: *tickle Gideon*
Stan: Uh, I don't even know how to respond to this.
Gideon: No!!! *laughs* stop it!!! *laughs*
Stan: Look, kid, I think this whole rivalry thing is getting to you. I understand, I mean I'm a formidable foe, what can I say?
Gideon: *keeps laughing*
Stan: Hey now, come on, you'll get me one of these days. Maybe, you know, run your evil plan by some friends next time, huh? Workshopping!!! But first get your issues in order there.
Gideon: *stills laughing*
Stan: ... *kicks Gideon causing him to roll away* Eh. Eh. *pushes Gideon out the door*
You, Dipper, and Mabel: *jump off Gideon*
Gideon: *pats his pockets* My light!!!
Stan: You're the light of my life too, pal. *closes the door, then wipes the sweat away* Oof, freak show.
You, Dipper, and Mabel: *go to the flashlight*
Dipper: After you.
Mabel: It's ok, you can go first if you want.
Dipper: *points the flashlight at Mabel, making her grow to normal size, then points it at you making you grow to normal size*
Mabel: *takes the flashlight and points at Dipper making him grow to normal size*
Dipper and Mabel: *go back to back*
Mabel: *checks their height* Hey, you let me keep my extra millimeter!
Dipper: You earned it.
Mabel: *puts an arm around Dipper* Aw, thanks little bro-
Dipper: Stop it.
You: Well, I guess we should destroy this thing so it doesn't fall into the wrong hands or something.
Dipper: *takes out the crystal* Seems like the smart thing to do.
Mabel: *takes it and throws it to the ground then steps on it* Die!!! Die!!!
Soos: There you dudes are! I've been trying to get your attention!
You: Glue.
Dipper: Lots of glue.
And that's how the day ended. Another adventure, can't wait for the next.
Thanks for reading!!! 'Till next time!!!
