🌹My Best Friend's A Witch (Gravity Falls Dipper x Reader)🌹

🦅 Ep.14: The Stanchurian Candidate 🦅

Durland placed a large ring on the ground, and not even a second later, a hat was thrown inside.

Bud started walking over with a chuckle. "Well, I do believe I fulfill all the requirements."

My eyes widened a little. "Wait, Bud Gleeful?!"

Mabel gave a smile. "He looks good! Considering we through his son in jail."

"I hold no regrets." Leo replied as he cracked his knuckles, making Mabel snicker.

Stan smiled as well. "I agree with Jacket boy, that was a good day."

Bud now stood behind the podium. "Now, folks, I know our family's had its fair shares as whoopsie daisies in the past but I'd like to make up for it by formally announcing my candidacy for mayor of Gravity Falls! Any questions?"

Toby raised a hand. "Yes, are you still in contact with little Gideon?"

"That's a great question, I'm giving you fifty percent off a used car!!"

"Fifty percent off?!" He ripped his notebook in half. "Fifty percent off?!?"

"In fact, everyone, look under your seats!" Everyone did as told, including us, seeing some weird golden papers. "You get 50% off and you get 50% off!!"

Mabel waved the paper around. "Wow, a colorful piece of paper?! He's got my vote!"

On the other hand, Dipper had a look of worry. "Guys, I've got a really bad feeling about Bud Gleeful as mayor."

"You and me both." I replied. "I wouldn't trust a Gleeful with anything."

Soos gave a shrug. "I dunno, dude. It's not like we have a lot of good mayor options. Everyone in this town is a tad strange. Except ironically Tad Strange." He then pointed at Tad, who sat a few rows behind us.

"Hi, guys. Tad's the name, and being normal's my game."

I crossed my eyes with a huff. "He's too normal if you ask me."

Mabel pointed at him with a smile. "Loving you, Tad!!"

"And I love bread!"

Dipper let out a sigh. "It's a shame Ford isn't here, he'd run. And win! And be a great mayor!"

I noticed something light up in Stan's eyes, looking over at the hat in the ring.

Bud let out another chuckle. "So if everyone's happy, I'll just take the oath of office now, sound good? Give it up?"

Everyone gasped as another hat was thrown into the ring, Stan standing up with a glare. "Hold it right there, Bud!!! I'm taking you on!!!"

"Stanford?! No offense but you're just some two-bit carnival barker, and your head is more ears than face!"

"Oh yeah?!? Well your face is more fat than-... not fat!!!"

Another gasp from the audience, followed by Tad. "Oh snap!"

Stan stepped forward, looking at everyone in the room. "What do you say, folks?!? Are we just gonna let Bud win?!? How about a real election?!?"

"Get in there, hat!!!" Tyler yelled as he threw his own hat in the ring, followed by many more people throwing theirs in too.

This time, Bud's laugh was more awkward. "Well, looks like we've got some competition there, folks. Which I'm fine with, totally fine with!" His cheerful smile then disappeared as he turned Stan around to face him.

"I was gonna let bygones be bygones, Stan, but you just made a powerful enemy. I'll win either way, and when I do you might not like the Gravity Falls you wake up in." He punched where the Mystery Shack was drawn in the town map, and I felt a chill go down my spine.
