3rd Person POV
Next morning Dipper was watching whatever Stan also was since he had the remote when Mabel walked in.
"Guys I want you to meet," Mabel drags a tall boy into the room. "my boyfriend!"
The guy she had dragged had a black ripped hoodie on and had small bags under his eyes. The guy had dark brown hair that was covering his left eye.
Dipper raised an eyebrow at the sight of the weird kid and waited for Stan's reaction.
"Hmm cool." Was the only thing Stan said and Dipper rolled his eyes. If Stan wasn't going to say anything then Dipper was.
"Um Mabel? You have only been here for less than three days, do you really think it's a good idea to-" Dipper tried telling Mabel but she just interrupted him.
"Stop being a party pooper Dipper!" Mabel then looked at the boy. "Introduce yourself."
"I-I am..." The boy thought for a second like he needed to remember his own name but then s finally answered. "Norman. My name is Norman."
Dipper tilted his head and tried looking at Norman a bit closer. The guy really was weird, but Dipper decided to shrug it off, for now.
A day passed and Dipper just couldn't ignore the weird teenager. So, Dipper decided to ask Bill about it, after all Bill knew all about the supernatural and if Norman weren't human then Bill would know it.
"Bill?" Dipper tried calling out to him in his room but there was no answer. "Bill! Bill??!"
After a few minutes Dipper started to get annoyed.
"Stop being such a drama queen and get your Dorito ass over here, I need your help!" Dipper called out once more, but Bill wasn't there.
"Alright then have one of your tantrums." Dipper rolled his eyes and took journal number three.
If Bill wasn't going to help him, he would just find the answer himself. As Dipper was looking through the journal, he stumbled upon a page that fit Norman.
"A zombie?" Dipper thought out loud at he read the page that he already had readen a hundred times.
Dipper thought for a bit. Could Norman really be a zombie? The brunette decided to spy on Norman and Mabel and to his horror the more time Dipper spied on them, the more he was convinced Norman was a zombie.
So, Dipper decided to go talk to Mabel who was getting ready for a date with her boyfriend.
"Let's talk about Norman." Dipper walked into the room he shared with Mabel for the summer.
"Isn't he the best? Check out this giant smooch mark he gave me!" Mabel turned around and showed Dipper a big red mark on her cheek which convinced Dipper Norman wasn't human.
"What the hell is that?!"
"Haha! I am joking, this was just an accident with the leaf blower." Dipper decided not to ask about the leaf blower part.
"No, look Mabel, what I am trying to tell you is that Norman is not what he seems." Dipper took the third journal out and Mabel gasped.
"You think he might be a vampire? That would be so awesome!" Mabel whispered and Dipper fought the urge to roll his eyes at his sister's weird imagination.
"Yeah not quite." Dipper then showed Mabel the page with the zombie.
"A zombie? That is not funny Dipper." Mabel placed her hands on her hip.
"I'm not joking! It all adds up the bleeding, the limp and he never blinks! Have you noticed that?!" Dipper tried to convince Mabel.
"Maybe he is blinking when you are blinking."
"Mabel, remember what the journal said about Gravity Falls? 'Trust no one'." Dipper said. Bill would probably be mad at him for talking about the journal with Mabel, but Dipper didn't care right now.
"What about me, huh? Why can't you trust me? Bip bop!" Mabel took her star earrings on. Dipper decided not to answer Mabel's question, since the answer was obvious, and proceed to try and convince her to listen to him.
"Mabel, he is gonna eat your brains!" Dipper shook Mabel by her shoulders.
"Dipper, listen to me. Norman and I are going on a date at five o'clock and I am gonna be adorable," Mabel pushed Dipper towards the door.
"and he is going to be dreamy," Mabel pushed Dipper once more so now he was completely outside the room.
"And I am not going to let you ruin it with one of your crazy conspiracies!" Mabel slammed the door and Dipper was just left in the hallway.
Did she just... throw me out of my own bedroom? Dipper thought to himself.
Soon it was five o'clock, and the doorbell rang.
"Coming!" Mabel ran down the stairs with her shiny sweater that was saying: 'Meow wow!'.
Like that Norman and Mabel left the house and Dipper was alone in the living room.
"Mabel is right, I don't have any real evidence." Dipper said to himself as he was looking through the videos he had taken while spying on Norman and his sister.
"I guess I can be kinda paranoid after all these years with Bill and- WAIT WHAT?!" That was when Dipper saw the recording of how Norman's hand falls off as he has his arm around Mabel.
"HA! I knew it! I was right!" Dipper fist pumped the air when it hit him. "Wait I was right so that means... MABEL!"
Dipper ran outside and he could hear how Stan was talking to his costumers about some kind of rock with a face. Dipper knew Stan wouldn't really be a big help.
Dipper looked around when his eyes landed on Wendy who was standing by the golf cart. Wendy was a fifteen-year-old who also worked at the Shack but only at summer.
She and Dipper would sometimes talk whenever they got bored during work.
"Wendy! Wendy, i need to borrow the golf cart so I can safe my sister who wouldn't listen to me and now she can get eaten by a zombie!" Dipper said. Wendy smiled and gave him the keys.
"Try not to kill yourself in the process, 'kay?" And with that she walked away. Dipper loved how Wendy never really asked any questions.
Dipper started the cart and drove into the woods. He hoped he wouldn't die like this; it would be pretty disappointing to die from crashing into a tree because his lovesick sister wouldn't listen to him.
Dipper had planned his death several times and he had decided the way he wanted to die so if he didn't get to jump off a flight and into a volcano he would be a very mad ghost.
As Dipper arrived where he thought Mabel would be he was surprised to see a bunch a gnomes surrounding her and trying to tie her up while Mabel was kicking and fighting back.
"What the hell?" Dipper said.
"Dipper! Norman turned out to be a bunch of gnomes!" Mabel said.
"Gnomes? I was way off." Dipper said to himself remembered what stood in the journal about gnomes. And to Dipper's horror he either couldn't remember what weakness the gnomes had, or they didn't have any.
"Hey! Let go of her!" Dipper said as he saw the gnomes had managed to tie Mabel down.
"Oh haha, hey there. Um you know, this is all really just a big misunderstanding. You see your sister is not in danger, she is just marrying over a thousand of us and becoming our gnome queen for all eternity!" The gnome turned to Mabel. "Isn't that right honey?"
"You guys are buttfaces- mmm!" Mabel managed to say before a gnome put his hands on her mouth to keep her quiet.
"Give her back or else!"
"You think you can stop us, boy? You have no idea what we are capable of. The gnomes are a powerful race! Do not tri-" Dipper then just snapped his fingers and the gnome flew off to the right.
Dipper freed Mabel from the ropes and they both got in the golf cart. Dipper then drove away quickly, but soon both of them started to feel the ground shake beneath them.
They turned around to see all the gnomes had turned to one giant gnome who was now chasing after them.
Dipper floored it, but the damn creatures were pretty fast. Dipper couldn't use magic on them since they were so many, and he would need to use a more powerful spell.
Mabel probably hadn't noticed Dipper using magic earlier, but she sure would if he used such a big spell.
And Dipper couldn't call on Bill because Mabel was here, and Bill was probably still being overdramatic and wouldn't show up.
Multiple gnomes flew on their golf cart and one even landed on Dipper's face. Mabel luckily punched the gnome away, but the gnome took Dipper's hat.
"Oh no you didn't." Dipper mumbled as he snapped his fingers, and his pine tree hat was back on his head.
Mabel had been too busy trying to get the gnomes off the cart to notice Dipper using magic.
The giant gnome threw a tree in front of them, causing the cart to flip over as Dipper took a sharp turn.
Dipper and Mabel weren't hurt but now the cart was broken, and they had nowhere to run.
"Where's grunkle Stan?!" Mabel asked as the giant gnome growled.
"I don't know!" Dipper said. He was used to Stan not being there when he was needed.
"It's the end of the line kids! Mabel, marry us before we do something crazy!" The giant gnome walked closer to them.
"I gotta do it." Mabel stepped forward. Dipper's eyes widen, he didn't know Mabel was capable of thinking about anyone else than herself.
"Mabel, that's crazy!" Dipper whispered.
"Trust me." Mabel said.
"What?"
"Dipper, I know I have no right to say this, but just trust me." Mabel whispered. Dipper looked at Mabel and then the big gnome.
Bill had taught him not to worry so much about others' sacrifices, so Dipper just stepped away and watched closely to what Mabel was about to do.
"Alright Jeff, I will marry you." Mabel said. The gnome named Jeff then got down from where he was in the big gnome.
Jeff got down on one knee and gave Mabel a big diamond ring.
"Badabing badabang, now let's get to the forest, honey." Jeff was about to walk back when Mabel spoke.
"You may now kiss the bride." Mabel said as she was looking at the diamond ring. Jeff stopped in his tracks and turned around got ready to kiss Mabel when Mabel took the leaf blower out of nowhere and pointed it a Jeff.
"That's for lying to me!" Mabel said as the leaf blower trapped Jeff.
"And that's for breaking my heart!" The leaf blower squeezed Jeff as he started screaming.
"And this is for messing with my brother." Mabel smiled at Dipper who had a smug look on his face.
Mabel turned the leaf blower on reverse mode which caused Jeff to be shot towards the big gnome.
All the gnomes started flying into different directions.
Like that, the twins got safely back into the shack, both of them being really exhausted.
That night Mabel fell asleep fast, but Dipper couldn't help but think. Bill had taught him not to trust anyone, but when he battled a hundred gnomes side-by-side with his sister, he couldn't help but think that maybe he should put a little trust in her.
"Hey, Mabel?" Dipper said.
"Yeah?" Mabel answered in a very sleepy voice.
"This year-... am I coming home this year?" Dipper asked. He squeezed his eyes shut, getting ready to be rejected.
"..." Mabel didn't say anything for a few seconds. "Yes Dip. You are coming home."
"Wait really?! I-I-... this is just so-" Dipper was about to scream out of happiness. While a certain yellow demon had overheard it all.
