Chapter 6: Grunkle Ford

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Me: "before you continue reading, I wanted to announce something and I need your help with. I look over my story and I keep wasting time on researching some ways to put in the story. Having to come up with some plotlines for me is getting more difficult over time and I'm extremely slow at it. I also haven't much reviewing so I at least want to see what I could fix so please recommend something. ANYTHING helpful that I could put in to make this better. So with that all said its time to get back to reading)

Twilight and the Mane Six stays away from being spotted by the stupid tourists in the 'Employees Only' part of the Mystery Shack. Twilight takes a small peak through the creek of the door only to see a small group of tourists trying buy the Mystery Shack merchandise which is clearly some other random junk that Stan just labeled as 'magic' in the lobby and a strait ginger-haired girl wearing jeans and a turquoise corduroy vest barring her nose in a magazine waiting until someone pays up to the counter.

Dipper: "*Comes back in only to be covered in sweat and sees Twilight looking through the crack* Twilight what are you doing? You're going to be spotted"

Twilight: "Oh that's right *backs away from the door*. It's just that I'm new here as a pony questioning on what the heck is going on. Like how is this even possible to rip-off tourists like this, who's Ford or Waddles and can they help us get back home?"

Dipper: "*Scratches his head* Well… Waddles is Mabels pig and our Great-Uncle Stanford Pines who mostly prefers to called 'Ford' is an expert on Gravity Falls weirdness activities"

Twilight: "Can he help us. Because my friends are already… *chuckles nervously* struggling to adapt to your human environment"

Pinkie Pie walked around in the living room without being bothered by anything until she sees a pink packet lying on the ground.

Pinkie Pie: "What's this. *Picks up the packet and it reveals to be a label with a two smiling yellow dogs and a paw lollipop* SMILE DIP aww you humans shouldn't have. Some powdered candy that can really make ya laugh and turn some of our frowns up-side down. *Rips open the bag and chugs all of the pink sugar into her mouth*"

Dipper: "Uh Pinkie I really don't that you should…"

Pinkie Pie: "*Finishes devouring the entire bag without any grain of sugar left. Only to feel a painful sensation in her stomach* Oh it's like a party in my tummy and everypony is throwing up inside it. *Picks out the bag and isn't happy what she found and the back* Best by [gulp] October 6, 1995. uh oh! *Dazes out* Ugh now my head is starting to feel funny, ha-ha funny *falls on her back*. What do think?"

Pinkie starts see an imaginary world caused by the Smile Dip that had already altered her vision. She sees everything inhabited by antromorphic object people with black limbs, paw lollipops for trees and rainbow luminescent magnetic dirt everywhere. A large yellow star-like creature wearing, green shades of star-shaped sunglasses and a red and blue baseball cap. The star creature leaned down to Pinkie.

Star Person: "Do you wished to be tossed in the air?"

Pinkie Pie: "Sure thing star person that I really know is part of my imagination caused by the Smile Dip that I just ate"

Dipper and Twilight stares at how Pinkie with pink sugar all over her muzzle and extremely large pupils that have taken over her eyes. She is now flopping her hooves in the air for some odd reason.

Dipper: "Don't worry about her she'll be fine. That stuff is temporary"

Twilight: "Soo anyway back to Ford"

Dipper: "Uh… oh yeah. Ford is the author of *shows the journal that he is holding* this journal that I have spent the whole summer looking for. I mean look at all of this stuff. At once I thought it was just phoniness but it turns out all of the weirdness thing in Gravity Falls are considered real"

When Dipper showed Twilight his journal, she made an uneasy expression on her face like she was guilty of something happening.

Dipper: "Umm Twi you don't look so good. Are you worried about Grunkle Stan or the fact Pinkie ate some expired banned European candy and she's out of her league *sees Pinkie spitting out pink foam*?"

Twilight: "No umm… it's not about Pinkie, its something different. Can I talk to you outside personally?"

Dipper: "Sure I don't see what's the harm"

Twilight and Dipper walk outside of the Mystery Shacks backdoor and Twilight shuts the door with her magic.

Dipper: "So what do you want to tell me that's so persona you... winged unicorn hybrid"

Twilight: "You mean Alicorn. I am an Alicorn"

Dipper: "An Alicorn. Doesn't that mean your some kind of superior pony?"

Twilight: "Well I woulnd really say superior. You told me that your Great-Uncle Ford is the creator of your journal *uses her magic to lift up her journal*. I found one that's exactly like ours"

Dipper: "*Clenches his cheeks together and gasp loudly like a fish out of water* OM… goodness… A FOURTH JOURNAL. WA… WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?! I mean how come Ford never mentions a fourth journal. I've holed on to Fords journal three for so long, I explored Gravity Falls weirdness and neither of the clues that I dug deep in even without the discovery of a portal in the basement, McGuckets abandon lab or anywhere in the previous journals and yet they never mentioned anything about a fourth journal. Okay now *takes some really deep and heavily breaths* now even I have more questions to ask Ford"

Twilight: "This journal that I found has everything from my home world Equestria, including some very interesting spells that I have no idea they even existed"

Dipper: "*Takes a peak at the journals pages and squeals like a little girl* OH MY GOD... I'M GOING TO NEED A NOTE PAD FOR THIS SPECIAL ACCATION *Fidgets with his pen so hard that the top explodes in his hands* Aw darn you cheap pens"

Twilight: "So if this journal has some secret that your Uncle is hiding from us. Then maybe he could help my friends get home"

Dipper: "Yeah defiantly. But we have to wait for all of the tourist to leave then I could take you to Ford. He's just working on some clandestine stuff in his secret lab"

Twilight: "Your uncle has a secret lab?

Dipper: "Oh yeah he's just behind the lobby vending machine. When the lobby is empty we could go talk to him and see if he could help you and your friends get back home"

Twilight: "Thank-you so much for helping me here"

Dipper and Twilight walks back into the living room. Dipper feels so loved trucked until Mabel appears out of nowhere.

Mabel: "Hay bro"

Dipper: "Aughh *turns around* oh hay… Mabel"

Mabel: "*Notices Dippers checks turning red as a red crayon* OOOOOOOOO… looks like my brother is in love with a certain somepony *smiles widely*"

Dipper: "WHAT NO. Of course, not Mabel I'm not going to be dating an Alicorn. I know Twi cool as Wendy and all but it's even beyond weird why a twelve-year old like me would even fall in love with a talking I don't know how old mare"

Mabel: "Oh really then. Then why are you blushing red. That's an auric sign meaning you're in love with the Princess of friendship"

Dipper: "No I… I… I just have a sunburn because I've spent all day long nailing tiles on the… roof. Now if you could excuse me I have to help introduce Twi to Ford"

Mabel: "Okay bro IF ya say so. But if you need any help you know where to find me"

Dipper: "Yeah, yeah"

Dipper and Twilight waited and waited and for a few minuets for the Mystery Shack lobby to clear up. Meanwhile Pinkie Pie wakes up all covered in Smile Dip.

Pinkie Pie: "Uuuh... what just happened. *Covers her forehead* Owchie my head hurtsie"

Fluttershy: "Oh Pinkie it seems that you went really nuts over a bag of pink sugar"

Pinkie Pie: "Pink sugar"

Fluttershy: "Oh why it seems that there's still a few bits left. May I please have some"

Pinkie Pie: "NNNOOOOOOO! *Snatches the sugar away from Fluttershy* WHAT YOU DO FLUTTERSHY... DO NOT EAT THE WHATS EVER IS IN THIS BAGGIE! ITS PURE EVIL * rapidly shakes Fluttershy"

Dipper: "Yeah you Ponies have fun with that"

Minuets if not hours have pasted in the Mystery Shack while Rarity can't handle being locking in a cage filled with cheap necessaries so she chastises the tourist around her for there ignorance.

Rarity: "PLEASE, PPPPLLLEEEEAAAASSSSEEEEE CAN SOMEPONY GET ME OUT OF HERE?! HOW CAN ALL OF YOU DO NOT SEE THAT THE ATTRACTIONS ARE COMPLETLY BOGUS! *Sees a tourist taking pictures of an exhibit and points her hoof at her* You mam!"

Female Tourist (Madison): "What, me?"

Rarity: "Yeah YOU! Tell me does that 'five legged dog's' fifth leg look suspicious to you?"

Female Tourist (Madison): "*Takes a closer look* Nope there's nothing wrong with it expect how the photos I took will be a great fridge magnet"

Rarity: "WRONG! Its because of how the extra right leg has different colored fur then the entire stuffed pug. How can you not know that its fake just right in front of you"

Female Tourist (Madison): "Yeah... I think my boyfriend is waiting for me *walks away from the cage*"

Rarity: "*Points her hoof at male tourist reading a newspaper* What about YOU in burring his face in the news!"

Male Tourist (Joaquin): "Excuse me talking unicorn"

Rarity: "Tell me MISTER, what do you think about the two headed winged turtle or the 'Golf-Rin'? Does anything look like a dead give-away?"

Male Tourist (Joaquin): "Yup a dead give-away for me to take a few selfies or two"

Rarity: "OH SURE AND MAYBE WHEN YOU TAKE A FEW... *squints her eyes* selfies... THEN THE WINGS WILL SURE FALL OFF TE SECOND AFTER YOU USE FLASHPHOTOGRAPHY AND THEN YOU'LL REALIZE THAT EVERYTHING HERE IS ALL JUST A BIG RIDICOLOUS HOAX!"

The tourist in front of Rarity just stand there and looked like he was going to fart or something. Out of the blue the tourist puts on a par of headphones and tunes out.

Rarity: "Wha... WWWWHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAATTTT! HOW... HOW COULD EVERYONE WHERE NOT UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ALL BEING PLAYED BY A STINGY, STINGY MAN. THIS TOURIST TRAP MUST BE CRAZY *cries really loudly*"

Rarity brawled so loudly that some the tourist deiced to leave

Male Tourist (Oliver): "Err… Mr. Mystery I demand a refund"

Stan: "Why so serious?"

Male Tourist (Oliver): "Don't play innocently stupid with me. Your new 'Grumpy Fashion Designer Unicorn from Another Dimension' attraction constantly keeps brawling all over me and brawls so loudly that it ruins my family's experience to actually focus on your other attractions"

Stan: "What can I say; not refunds buddy"

Male Tourist (Oliver): "Well your going to or else my lawyers will be hearing about how it traumatizes my kids. And besides I'm *shows Stan his company card* a software salesmen at the Oregon Cooperator Manufacturers and so my company can like hire up to five of the most experienced lawyers in the state"

Stan: "What to know what the best part about that is…?"

Male Tourist (Oliver): "*Puzzled* What getting sued? Because it will be hilarious for to see your sorry butt in court"

Stan: "Nope it's my favorite time of the day: CLOSING TIME! Alright everyone pay for your merch and get the dell out. I'm not afraid to beam balloons filled with paint at any solicitor who wants their refunds. NOW GO, GO, GO!"

The tourist collects the 'merchandise' and lines up to the counter so Wendy register their money. After the tourist cash in, they soon leave the Mystery Shack making the room free for the two to get out and see Ford.

Twilight: "Dipper I didn't ask this before but who was that one ginger haired girl that was working at the counter?"

Dipper: "Oh that was Wendy another good friend of mine"

Twilight: "I see that you where looking at Wendy funny?"

Dipper: "*Mutters* What no… sort of. I just have a small crush on her and all. I tried telling her that I love her and all but she has no interest in me what so ever. So yeah *scratches the back of his head* we're still best friends and all*

Twilight: "Trust me, I'm the Princess of Friendship. If there's anything I learned about being in love is that sometimes there's a love interest that you're just going make an acceptation. Let the ones you choose to love decide for them self's. So there's no shame trying to be embarrassed about it"

Dipper: "*Confused* Umm… yeah I probably learned that a while ago. Let's just focus and asking Fords help shall we"

Dipper and Twilight walked towards that vending machine. Dipper reaches for the buttons and presses the code on the machines button pad to open the secret lab door. The door opens and Twilight and Dipper walks into the dusty passage way and to elevator where Dipper presses the button to Fords lab.

Twilight: "Its so interesting how your uncle has a secret lab"

Dipper: "Yup I always dreamed of the day that I would find the author of the journal. That was until one day we discovered that Stan has been hiding a portal. The same portal that Ford has been trapped in. I wonder if you ever had to travel to another dimension before?"

Twilight: "I have once. There was a time when I went to a human world like this before. Except I became a human like you. That's another story for another day"

Few moments after the conversation the elevator came to a complete stop. The chain linked door in front of them opens; revealing an old man wearing a sand colored trench-coat sitting at his desk with a stack of papers, jars filled with weird creatures and neon green substances. Twilight looks around the room to see that its filled with dusty and filthy file cabinets and computers.

Dipper: "Umm Grunkle Ford. Do you have a minute?"

Ford: "Augh *turns around from his desk* Dipper what are you doing? How many times did Stan and I tell you; you can't barge into my personal work its way to precarious for a youngling like you to join"

Dipper: "But Grunkle Ford this really, really important. So there's talking ponies from some dimension called Equestria. And they need your help"

Ford: "My help. And what on earth is this winged unicorn creature that you brought?"

Twilight: "Oh I haven't introduced myself. *Holds up one of her front hooves* I'm Twilight Sparkle and I'm Alicorn"

Ford: "Oh my goodness a talking mare. So um what am I supposed to do with your front hooves? I have been trapped in the multiverse for a very long so I'm so sorry if I'm getting anything. I still have to get caught up in the modern-day *squints his eyes* um… style"

Twilight: "Its all you have to do is shake the bottom of one of my hooves like a normal… person"

Ford: "Umm sure why not. *Shakes Twilights hooves* So you said you're an Alicorn. That's odd *thinks to himself* I must have heard that name in one of my travels throughout the multiverse or I must be thinking of my brother A.K.A Sammy Pineswell's failed 'Ali-drill' product"

Twilight: "*While she shakes Fords hand she notices that Ford has six-fingers on each hand* Wow six fingered hands, I never seen something like that in Canterlot High.*Stops shaking Fords hand* Excuse me but who's Seamus Pineworthy and what's the Ali-drill?"

Ford: "Sammy Pineswell is my brother's fake ID"

Twilight: "*Confused* what's an ID?"

Ford: "Well… sense I haven't been in this dimension in a while and I forgot some words and so. I think that its something that older people use to access stuff. And the 'Ali-drill' is a power drill that is equipped with two drill heads for different uses. And every time you press the trigger, the drill explodes in your face"

Twilight and Dipper: "*Imagens the incident in their heads in their heads* OOOOWWWWWCCCHHH!"

Ford: "Yup and that's how Stan gotten banded from Iowa. But lets stay on topic shall we. What exactly do you need my help with?"

Twilight: "So anyways I heard that you know a lot about magic"

Ford: "Know magic, heck I study the magic and paranormal activities of Gravity Falls"

Twilight: "Well then I was wondering sense me friends and a student of mine have casted a portal spell that got us stuck here in Gravity Falls. We used the Elements of Harmony, my faithful student Starlight Glimmer created a barrier to contain the Elements magic and my dragon assistant Spike read out the spell"

Ford: "*Thinks to himself* Wait… portal spell, talking ponies, Elements of Harmony. Why does that fell so wrong? Its sounds like theirs something that I'm doing wrong or I'm forgetting something already"

Twilight: "You see I found this journal with so many random stuff in. And judging by the six fingers on your hands; it seems like you're the author of the journal. *Uses her magic to lift up the journal and shows it to Ford* So after a few pages I came to the section where you wrote about Equestria. I'm so fascinated with how you studied so much on my species and the magic; you even wrote a detailed timeline of Equestrias history, even though some of it is ridiculously outdated. I even came to the point to I found a spell that tells us how to get here and ask you what's the deal behind it all"

Ford looks at the forth journal and he starts to get really tizzy; like a money that drank to many lattes.

Ford: "Oh my god, oh my god, OH MY GOD! *Snatches the journal* PLEASE TELL ME HE DIDN'T FOLLOW YOU?!"

Twilight: "*Gives Dipper an icy stair* Umm Dipper, there's something very wrong with your uncle!"

Dipper: "Yeah, yeah I know. I know he hates how Stan activated a portal due to it being unsafe; but I never seen him like this"

Ford: "*Takes deep breaths* Wrong, this very wrong of you. I mean didn't you read the instructions?! I specifically said 'DO NOT CAST THE SPELL'! Didn't you not get my warnings?"

Twilight: "Okay now Dipper; don't want to be rude but I really, really think that both of your uncles have issues. Okay ya crazy old six fingered man… I think you need to explain to me why your acting like this and WHY are you so worked?!"

Ford: "Your right. Now please don't freak out on me but I have truly studied on interdimensional travel and I did found a way to get home. The problem with that is how extremely dangerous it is to use it. That's why I got upset at you. And if you wonder Dipper and Twilight on what I was doing. I was doing some research on this *pulls out that appears to be an glass orb with some kind of steampunk stand attaching to it. Inside the orb is a blue and black aroura with stars on it; behaving like a lava lamp*"

Twilight: "*Puzzled at the object Ford is holding in front of her* Umm Ford what exactly is that orb your holding?"

Ford: "Good question my winged mare friend. You see *unravels the curtain to reveal the a triangular shaped portal and other metallic parts are scattered everywhere* I had to dismantle the only interdimensional portal because it just too dangerous to be used. But when I was disassembling it I was out of the frying pan and into the fire *shuts the curtain*. The unstable energy from the portal created this: an interdimensional rift"

Twilight: "You did what?! My friends and I really needed that portal to get back to Equestria"

Ford: "I know you're really despite to get back home but I've found something even more perplex that makes me very concerned about it. *Pulls up his sleeve to reveal a wristband. He presses a button on his wristband to reveal a hologram of the map of Gravity Falls with teeny yellow splotches everywhere in different locations* As you can see while I was studying the rifts resources; the reading from the rift pin-points how there's quantum energy that is leaking into Gravity Falls. This energy must be the Equestrian magic that is leaking into my world. It could be possible that the weird magic in mine could spew into yours. We don't how this could affect our worlds but I'm deeply worried that it could hurt someone *turns off the wristband*"

Twilight: "But that hasn't even resolved any of my friends problems and you haven't told me what's the big deal about that damn spell that you freaked out on me for"

Ford: "*Sighs* Look Twilight its better off if you don't bring it up. To be honest its probably for the greater good. BUT… I may find a way to get you back home; it's just going to be a complex and bumpy ride but it may help your friends get home"

Twilight: "If this fails then we'll just have to make this place our home and at least say you tried your best to get us back to Equestria"

Ford: "Thank-you. Now you and Dipper get back upstairs and I'll see what I can do. And I also must figure out who this 'Baba' girl that Dipper keeps talking about. Is she our fist female president?"

Dipper and Twilight heads back to the elevator while Ford continues his work on finding the source of the weird infection.

Ford: "Maybe Princess Celestia could help me get Twilight back home and help fix this. Probably not and I don't think she's ever going to forgive me for causing Equestria to be in the line of fire"

Meanwhile in the Nightmare Realm Discord looks over Bill's observation orb to see the news of what's happening in the basement.

Discord: "Ooohhhh Bill. It seems that a little certain somepony is making friends that *arms wiggles like rubber snakes* NOODLE-ARMED HUMAN creature and it looks *summons binoculars* there on a quest to find a back to their sweet hacienda"

Bill Cipher: "Let me see *looks at Ford* [blegh] Fordsie. I can't believe that little tiny Six-Fingers have sabotaged the portal. But no matter it seems that Fordsie have already taken notice on how the magic in both worlds are effecting them all and yet the 'Princess of Friendship' failed to followed the instructions"

Discord: "Oh my three-side friend I never felt this gitty like a foal on Heartwarming eve"

Bill Cipher: "*Chuckles* Ha and all thanks to the writers lazy attempt to come up with proper character role playing dialogue"

Discord: "*Dresses out in a construction workers outfit* Now lets use these magical waste stain wreak some fun. Wait that didn't come out properly"

Keyhole: "Umm excuse me boss but how exactly does this fit in with our plan?"

Bill: "Oh Keyhole I would have just killed you for asking a really stupid question' but I can't. You'll see when the 'big day' happens"

So what do you think so far. What's Discords and Bills evil plan? Will Mystery Shack crew help the Mane Six get back home and what's Fords secret connection between Celestia and the fourth journal that he's hiding from the cast?

Tell me in pm and the reviews so far and please make some good recommendations and PLEASE give me some comments now or then. PLEASE I'M BEGING YOU!
