Chapter Text

(Int. The mystery shack basement. Dipper is looking through some old boxes with a flashlight, and Molly is looking over his shoulder)

Molly: So… what are we looking for exactly?

Dipper: Oh uh- Grunkle Stanford described it as a hyper dimensional flux converter. The same thing that brought you here… and broke. But he said that there should be a spare somewhere.

Molly: And you’re sure it can send me home?

Dipper: Well… yeah. It’d have to, otherwise I’d probably be in trouble for bringing somthing from another dimension into ours.

Molly: Wouldn’t you be in trouble anyways for breaking that hyper whatchamacallit?

Dipper: Well… yeah. And probably even more in trouble for breaking two of them, but…

(Molly looks away in shame)

Molly: I’m sorry.

Dipper: Hey, no no no no. It’s fine. Why are you even sorry?

Molly: Oh- uh… sorry for that. I’m very used to taking responsibility for other people.

Dipper: Oh… ok. You don’t really have to do that. I’m the one taking responsibility for accidentally stealing you from your own dimension and bringing you here to this weird unknown location that is completely unfamiliar to you. In fact you’re taking this very well for someone who’s going through exactly that.

Molly: heh. Yeah. I certainly am.

Dipper brain: Oh man. What are you doing? Stop freaking her out more than she already is! Why are you freaking her out more? Haven’t you done enough?

Molly brain: Oh no. You said something depressing again and now you’re making him depressed. Why must you always do that?

Dipper brain: I mean look at her. She has that freaked out look in her eyes. Her… green… big…sparkly button eyes.

Molly brain: those big simple expressive eyes. And… that big old dorky yet enlightening grin.

Dipper brain: Her little weak yet clearly trying smile. That big old messy fro not so different from a starry night.

Molly brain: That hat afflicted fluffy looking rats nest that he calls hair.

Both brains: And that big old nervous face approaching slowly. Wait, WHAT?

(Their faces go red, and they back off)

Molly: Uh- we should… continue looking for that flux thing.

Dipper: Yeah. We should. This flashlight probably only has an hour left of bat-

(The flashlight goes out. It’s now pitch black)

Dipper: Ok, correction. Only a second left.

Molly: Oh no. Oh no no no no.

(Molly huddles close to dipper)

Dipper: Hey hey! Easy there. It’s ok. It's just you and me in here. There’s nothing out to get-

(Footsteps can be heard)

Dipper: Us?

Molly: W-w-w- what is that?

Dipper: Something horrible Beyond Our IMAGINATION!

(A door opens and light comes in. It’s just Soos)

Soos: Hello?

Dipper: Oh. It’s just Soos. Don’t worry, Molly. He’s cool.

Soos: Indeed I am. And- woah, hey there. I see you moved on from Wendy pretty fast.

Dipper: Huh?

(He notices that he and Molly are still huddled)

Dip and Moll: AH!

(They quickly separate as their faces get redder.)

Dipper: Uh- uh- ITS NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!

Molly: Yeah- uh… Mr Soos is it?

Soos: Possibly.

Dipper: Soos, listen. You know how those flux converter things were very dangerous and could lead to tears in the multiverse.

Soos: Are you kidding, dude? I read that on a cereal box once. I could never forget something like that.

Molly: Your cereal has fun facts about multiversal science?

Soos: Don’t all cereals?

Dipper: Listen. I kinda… sorta… broke one and brought this girl over from a parallel universe where most people get superpowers.

Soos: You went looking through the multiverse to find a girl to get over Wendy?

Dipper: NO!

Molly: We’re trying to find another one so I can get back.

Soos: Oooooohhh. Well why didn’t you say so? Mr Pines had me store a bunch of boxes of them in a cave years ago.

Dipper: Seriously?

Soos: Yup. Said they weren’t helping him with anything, and that he needed them stored away so that he didn’t have to… “write them on”.

Dipper: You mean it was a scheme to commit tax fraud?

Soos: That’s the gist.

Molly: Ah man. I wish my dad would let me commit tax fraud.

Dipper: Ignoring that comment, could take us to them?

Soos: It is my duty, and my honor to do so. To the Soos mobile!

( Soos runs ahead.)

Molly: He seems nice. A bit weird, but responsible at least.

Dipper: Yeah. He could’ve at least not assumed that I brought you here for a date though.

Molly(quietly): But would that really be such a bad thing?

Dipper: What?

Molly: What?

Dipper:… We should get going.

Molly: Yeah. Agreed. I just hope boss isn’t too worried about me.

(Cut to ext. Gravity Falls town square. Havok is happening. Havok created by Giovanni Potage himself. The townsfolk don’t seem to care)

Giovanni: HA HA HA! Tremble Gravity Falls! Tremble before the almighty might of VINCENT MURDER, and his new wrecking boys!

(He motions to Mable, Candy; and Grenda, who are in battle gear)

Mable: GO GET EM GIRLS!

Candy: Down with order, rise with anarchy!

Grenda: EAT THE RICH!

(They go off to cause chaos)

Mable: Hey Mr Murder? How will this accomplish your goal again? I mean I’m all for general chaos, but this seems counter productive.

Giovanni: Well you see, Pigtrap, if we get a reputation we are sure to find the one we are looking for. When she sees this commotion, she will instantly know what’s happening, and will come running to us for reunification!

Mable: Alright then. Whatever you say. I’m honestly excited to meet this “Beartrap” you keep talking about. She sounds very cool.

Giovanni: She indeed is, kid. She indeed is.

Chapter Text

(Ext. The forest. Soos is driving the golf cart through the road with Molly and Dipper in the back.)

Soos: We’ll be there very soon dudes.

Molly: Thanks, Mr Soos.

Dipper: So… how’s life in your home dimension.

Molly: You mean my life, or the type of life one could live in my universe?

Dipper: Uh… the former?

Molly: Getting better.

Dipper: Good. Good. What… does that mean exactly?

Molly: It’s a long story.

Dipper: I like long stories.

Molly: Ok. So…basically-

(4 episodes and an entire audio books length of an explanation later)

Molly: And that’s pretty much it. Any questions?

(Dipper looks flabbergasted)

Dipper: Several actually. Where exactly do epithets come from? Why don’t people try to contact the city of ocean wizards? Why is your dad not in prison?!

Molly: I don’t know, I don’t know, and… I don’t know.

Dipper: Aw man. I’m sorry you had to go through all that.

Molly: It’s… it’s fine. I- I just hope that Giovanni ended up in this dimension as well. If not then… then…

(She starts to tear up a bit, but tries to hide it.)

Dipper: Oh.

Molly: No. no it’s fine. I- I just… just…

Dipper: Need a hug?

Molly: … yeah.

(Dipper lightly hugs her. She hugs him back)

Dipper: We’ll figure this all out. Promise.

Molly: Th- thanks Dipper.

Dipper: Y’know… Dipper is just a nickname.

Molly: Nickname?

Dipper: After the birthmark on my head.

(He shows her)

Molly: Huh. So… what’s your real name then?

Dipper: … Mason.

Molly:… yeah no. I’m sticking with Dipper. It’s a much cuter name.

Dipper: You think I’m cute?

Molly: What?

Dipper: What?

(Their faces go red again. It’s very awkward.)

Dipper: Uh- SOOS! When do we get there?

Soos: We’ve been there for about thirty minutes, dude.

Molly: What?! Why didn’t you say anything?

Soos: I was very invested in your life story. If I could make it an anime then I would call it…Epithet…Elaborate.

Molly: Elaborate?

Soos: I’d love to, but I don’t want to waste more of your time. Here.

(He hands Molly a bat.)

Soos: Piñata defense.

(He hands Dipper a leaf blower)

Soos: Gnome defense.

Dipper: Thanks Soos. This place… looks kinda familiar. But I don’t quite remember where.

Molly: Is it dangerous?

Dipper: Not really.

Molly: Alright then. Let’s go.

(They get out of the golf cart, and enter the cave.)

Soos: Good luck dudes.

(Soos is now alone. He lifts up the forever pizza he wished for in that one episode)

Soos: Well Mr pizza, what should we do to pass the time?

Soos doing a pizza impression: Eat me.

Soos: Great idea.

(He starts eating it. Cut to a secret room where Giovanni has gathered his new minions which consists of Mable, her friends, Wendy, Robby, and Staff Sergeant Waddles. They’re all gathered around Mabel's map of the town.)

Giovanni: ALRIGHT, BOYS! Operation Find Bear Trap has been underway for a full hour. What do y’all got?

Wendy: Didn’t find much by the lake.

Robby: Toy stores haven’t shown any luck.

Candy: Pacifica’s house has been thoroughly egged.

Grenada: I ATE ALL MY EGGS.

Giovanni: Uh… now quite what I wanted you to do but good job anyways. Staff Sergeant Waddles! Any luck on your search?

Waddles: Oink.

Giovanni: You didn’t see anyone looking like this?

(He shows a picture he drew of her in crayon. Waddles sniffs it, and starts eating it)

Giovanni: HEY! Stop that!

(He starts wrestling with the pig for the poster.)

Mable: Maybe you could tell us more about her?

Giovanni: Well… she does really like bears. Like… a lot.

Mabel: Oooohhh. Well that does make sense, though I don’t know why she would name herself after something that hurts bears. Kind of a diffuse thing to do.

Giovanni: Uh… no comment.

Mable: Anyways, if she likes bears, then why don’t we check the cave of the Multi Bear?

Giovanni: The what?

(Mable shows him the Wooden model of Multi bear)

Giovanni: Hmm… does seem like something Beartrap would attach to. Alright. Who wants to go find Beartrap and possibly have to fight a horrific bear mutant?

Mable: Yay. Violence!

Grenda: NO ONE WILL BE SPARED!

Wendy: Sure dude.

Robby: Yeah you seem cool.

Candy: I will follow you to the ends of the earth.

Waddles: oink.

Giovanni: Alright boys. Let’s get GOING!
