Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: The Time Traveler's Pig

It was a couple of days after Pioneer Day and also finding out the conspiracy about the Northwest's. Stan had rented a fair to be set up near the Mystery Shack. And as one would expect, the fair itself wasn't the safest or up to code.

"There she is, you guys; the cheapest fair money can rent, I spared every expense." Stan said.

The sound of something snapping and then the screams of a couple of people were heard. Stan and the Loud siblings who were there with him looked up as a tram-car came crashing down. Dipper and Lincoln were in it with terrified expressions on their faces.

"I think the Sky-Tram is broken." Dipper muttered.

"And most of our bones." Lincoln said, as the both of them got out of it.

"Ha! These guys. Alright, alright. I've got a job for you all." Grunkle Stan pulls out a bunch of fake safety inspections that had A + on them. "I printed up a bunch of fake safety inspections certificates. Go slap one on anything that looks like a lawsuit."

"Grunkle Stan, this doesn't seem right." Leni said.

"Yeah, is that legal?" Mabel asked.

Lisa, who had a clipboard with her said," I've counted numerous code violations. So nothing at this attempt at entertainment is up to snuff, so to speak."

Stan ignored Lisa and said," It only is when there are no cops around, then anything's legal!"

"Oh, ok!" Leni happily said and grabbed a couple of the fake inspection signs.

"Her nativity amuses me." Stan said. "Soos, Lana, how's the dunk tank coming along?"

Soos was using a blowtorch while Lana watched him," Almost ready to go, Mr. Pines."

Lana chuckled and said," "Yeah, it's gonna be hilarious when Lynn tries and she fails."

Meanwhile, Lynn was playing a Basketball game that gave out prizes after she helped put together all the sports games.

Lynn stopped as if she felt something and said," Why do I feel as if I have a challenge to accomplish?"

Back with the others, Stan was checking the Dunk Tank by tapping it and it barely moved.

"Ha, you've got it rigged from here to Timbuktu! There's nothing on Earth that could knock me down!"

"Yeah, except for like a futuristic laser arm cannon." Soos said.

"Or maybe Lola on a tantrum or when Lynn gets's super mad. But the laser cannon does sound awesome." Lana added.

Stan ignored them and started to feel his pockets," Hey, you haven't seen my red screwdriver, have ya? Damn thing went missing. Lana, did you take it?"

"No, I have Ella." Lana said and showed her prized screwdriver.

"Maybe some magical creature or paranormal thing-um took it." Soos suggested.

Lana had a skeptical look and said," Is thing-um a word?"

"Nope but I hope it does soon."

Lana had an impressed look and said," Just like Leia, you're a visionary."

"Complement each other later. Alright, let's see where did I put that thing." Stan said as he looked through the tool box.

Meanwhile behind the porta potty's, a bald, man with goggles and a jumpsuit was talking to a communicator and was holding Stan's Screwdriver.

"The mission is proceeding as planned. Over."

He used the screwdriver to fix his camouflage suit and walked away.

Later, the fair was all set up, with the place being packed with people. The Loud's and Casagrande's were either hanging around, playing games or had to help with booths. Lori looked around as she had her arm around Bobby's arm, the last time she was at a fair was when she was using Clyde to make Bobby jealous when he hung out with Lincoln too much instead of her. It wasn't one of her best moments but she learned from that.

"I gotta say babe, this whole thing is sweet. Glad that Stan had people to take care of everything. That way, we could spend the whole day together here." Bobby said.

Lori nodded and said," Yeah, I guess something good did come out of coming to Gravity Falls. We get to spend more time together. Ugh, I just literally know I'll be too busy, once I start at Fairway once school starts again."

"At least on the bright side, Fairway is like an hour or two away from the city. Although Tadashi is lucky, he's going to the Community College back in Royal Woods, so he gets to stay home. By the way, did he say he would visit us here?"

"He said he and Brock are hoping to. But he said he isn't sure." Lori said.

"Let's hope they do. So, do you want to go on the Tunnel of Love and then get some 'Mystery Corndogs'?" Bobby asked.

Lori kissed his cheek and said," Sure do."

The both of them walked over to the said ride in question.

Meanwhile on the other side of the fair, Stan was in bathing suit and sitting on the seat in the Dunk Tank.

"It's 12 o'clock! The Dunk Tank is now open!" He yelled into the megaphone he was holding, which made everyone nearby cover their ears, due to the feedback.

"Step right up, and dunk me folks! I'm talking to you, Cut-offs! And to you too, Muffin-Top, High-Pants! Who wants a piece of me?" Stan taunted.

The people who were called out by Stan, including others, threw their baseballs at the target but it failed to knock Stan down. Soos's handiwork had paid off, and it looked like Stan wasn't going to be dunked anytime soon.

"Ahahahaha! Come back anytime, folks! Aahaha!" Stan mockingly laughed.

Ronnie Anne and Lincoln were watching nearby, with Ronnie Anne saying," So, you all know it's rigged, except for Lynn?"

"Yeah, pretty much. We just wanted to see how long it will take for her to figure it out." Lincoln said with a chuckle.

He was also thankful it wouldn't end like how he and the rest of his siblings united against Lynn during family game night. It was one thing to endure Lynn showboating and poor sportsmanship. But it was another thing to endure Lynn making everything a competition. In the hopes to rectify her losing the game. And it got on everyone's nerves.

"What's happening?" Asked a familiar voice.

Lincoln and Ronnie Anne jumped and turned around to see Lynn standing behind them, with drink in her hand.

"Oh… uh, Grunkle Stan is sitting on the Dunk Tank and nobody is able to dunk him. You wanna take a shot at it, Lynn?" Lincoln asked in fake curiosity.

Lynn rolled her eyes with a scoff and said," I dunked the guy back at the Royal Woods fair so many times, that the booth guy begged me to stop due to running out of prizes. Watch the master, Stinkin."

Lynn gave her drink to her brother, stretched out her arm, and went to pay for a ball and stood a couple of feet to aim at the target.

"Alright Lynnie, let's see if you can dunk me!" Stan taunted.

Lynn gritted her teeth in annoyance, a couple of people had used that nickname on her and it annoyed her to no end. The people who say it, always paid at the end, and the next person to pay was her Great Uncle.

"Get ready to eat those words Grunkle Stan!" Lynn said and threw the ball.

The ball hit the target but nothing happened, Stan had thought for a second his athletic grandniece would've done it but laughed when nothing happened. Lynn gaped, wondering what just happened.

"Haha! Try again!" Stan joyfully yelled.

Lynn gritted her teeth and bought another ball and was about to throw it when a thought crossed her mind. Stan was a conman and swindled a lot of people, he probably done something to the Dunk Tank. Not to mention the fact that she had dealt with this type of rigged games before.

"Psssh. Nice try." Lynn thought.

She looked around the Dunk Tank and noticed a tree with branch was close enough to the opening of the Dunk Tank, and she had an idea.

"Meh, if Michael Jordon and Larry Bird can do it, why can't I? Even though it was a commercial and wasn't real, it's possible." She thought.

She aimed it at the tree and threw it. Stan looked up and let out a guffaw at it.

"Ha! Worst aim ever! You missed!"

"I never miss." Lynn said in a smug tone.

The ball hit the bottom of the branch and ricochets off it. The ball zoomed and nailed Stan in the back of the head and he ended up falling into the water. Everyone cheered and hoisted Lynn onto her shoulders while they chanted her name.

"Huh, I guess we underestimated her." Lincoln said in a stunned tone, with Ronnie Anne nodding in agreement.

Stan got himself out of the water, and sat back on the seat, with a dazed look.

"Where am I?" Stan dazedly said.

Meanwhile, Luna was walking around, and she was video calling someone on her phone. That person was her girlfriend Sam Sharpe.

"And that's about the gist of what Stan cooked up for today. Gotta say though, the fair here is pretty cool. Even if Stan went for cheap here."

Sam giggled and said," Yeah, from what you've told me of your Great Uncle. He's as cheap and conman like Flip. One could only imagine if they ever meet."

Luna chuckled and said," I have a feeling they might've crossed paths before. But if not, pretty sure they would try to swindle or steal from each other."

Both girls laughed at that, and Luna then said," But, wish you were here Sammy. Been missing you"

Sam give her girlfriend a sad smile and said, "Same Lune's, been missing you too. Who knows, maybe I'll convince my parents to let me visit for a couple of days. Heck, I can probably ask Chunk to give me a lift. And maybe get Sully and Mazzy in on this. It would be one heck of a road trip"

Luna smiled a little and said," That would be rockin."

"Yeah and sorry I have to make this call short, Lunes. I promised to help out at the animal shelter today."

"No worries, Sammy. Have fun. And give some love to the animals for Lana and me."

"I will and Luna… love you." Sam said with a smile.

Luna's eyes widened, not expecting those words to come out of her girlfriend's mouth.

"I uh… I." Luna said and then hastily hung up.

Luna realized what was said and what she just did. She pulled her hair and she had a freaked out look.

"Crap, crap, crap. Why didn't I say something? She's gonna think… should I call her back? Oh man, oh man." Luna said as she panicked. She then took a breath and said to herself," It's okay Luna; you just gotta think things through and call her back later. She'll understand."

Her self pep talk didn't help her long enough and she then sighed and said," I need to get some grub, maybe that'll help."

Meanwhile, Lucas and Wendy were getting corn dogs in the shape of question marks.

"How do they get them into this shape? It's unnatural." Dipper mused.

"But Dipper, they're so… delicious?" She said as she held the corn dog over her head, and they laughed.

A drop of mustard dripped on Wendy's sleeve. "Oh boo! I'll be right back." She said as she went to get something to clean up her sleeve.

"I'll be right here! Haha!" Dipper laughed nervously and then whispered. "I love you."

"Dang bro, didn't expect you to have moves like that." Luna complimented as she walked over to him, along with Mabel, who was holding some cotton candy.

"Yeah, look at you two! Getting all romantic at the fair." Mabel said.

"Eh, it's no big deal." Dipper nonchalantly said.

"Yeah it is." Mabel said.

Dipper then got excited and said," Okay, you're right, it is! Isn't it awesome? I just dove in and asked 'Hey! You wanna hang out at the fair?' And she said yes! I guess yours and the others advice about just going for it, really works!"

"When are you gonna learn, Dipper? Myself and the girls are right about everything." Mabel proudly said.

"She's right bro. But still, good for you." Luna then sighed sadly," At least your romantic life is going good."

The twins gave their sister a concerned look, with Dipper asking," Is everything okay, Luna? Did something happen with you and Sam?"

Luna groaned and said," It's uh… I'll explain later."

Before the twins could prod more, Mabel sniffed the air and asked," Do you guys smell a gallon of body spray?"

The person, who did have a lot of body spray on, was Robbie, who approached the three of them.

"Sup Robbie." Luna greeted.

Robbie nodded to her and said," Sup Luna. Do you or your dork siblings know where Wendy is?"

"Who wants to know?" Dipper asked with narrowed eyes.

Robbie took some of Mabel cotton candy, ate it and then said," Yeah, I got some new super tight jeans. Thought she might want to check' em out."

"Dude, those better not be shrinkable, or else things won't be so sunny down there." Luna said.

Robbie waved her off and said," Naw, won't happen, has to be a huge bucket of hot water or something. So do you know where Wendy is?"

"Yeah! You know, I think I saw her in the Bottomless Pit. You should really go jump in there." Dipper said.

Robbie narrowed his eyes and said, "Maybe I will smart guy." He then bumped him as he walked away.

Luna frowned and said," Dude may be good on the guitar. But he can be a jerk. If he does anything else, Dip. Let me or the others know."

"It's fine Luna, I don't need you guys to meddle. Although, he's a jerk with tight pants and a guitar. I need to keep him away from Wendy at all costs."

Luna shrugged and said," I'll do what I can. I'll let the others know, bro. I won't let you hang out to dry."

"Same here, bro-bro. Whatever happens, I'll be right here, supporting you. Every step of the – OH MY GOD, A PIG!" Mabel yelled as she saw a flyer. She then dropped her cotton candy and took off, while bumping into a couple of people.

"If'n you can guess the critter's weight, you can take the critter home!" The booth person said, just as Leia approached the booth.

Mabel was mesmerized at all the pigs until one that was sitting down caught her eye.

"Oink-oink!" 15 Poundy said.

"Gasp! He said 'Mabel'! Either that or 'doorbell'. Did you say 'Mabel' or 'doorbell'?"

"Oink-oink!"

Leia squealed in delight but her happiness was crushed when she heard someone say something to her.

"Oh look! Mabel found her real twin." Pacifica said and laughed with her friends as they walked away.

Leia narrowed her eyes and said," Pacifica! Sir, I must have that pig!"

"Ah, old 15-poundy! So, how much you guessin' he weighs?"

"Um, 15 pounds?"

"Are you some kind of witch? Well, here's your pig." The vendor said as he handed the pig to Mabel. And a couple of People who were nearby clapped.

"And you'll be needin' these." He said as he gave her a fork and knife.

Mabel glared at him and he backed off with a shrug.

After Wendy got the stain off her shirt, she and Dipper walked to a booth and she spotted an interesting stuffed animal.

"Whoa, check it out! I don't know if it's a duck or a panda, but I want one!"

"My uncle taught me the secret to these games. You aim for the carnie's head, and take the prize when he's unconscious."

"Ha! Nice!"

"One ball, please." Dipper said as he gives the carnie the money.

The carnie gave him a ball, while saying, "You only get one chance."

Wendy gave Dipper thumbs up and he nodded.

"And a-one and a-two and a-three!"

Dipper threw the ball, but he ended up missing, but the ball hit the table the bottles. It then bounced back at them and nailed Wendy in the eye.

"AH! MY EYE!" Wendy yelped in pain.

"Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Wendy! Are you okay?"

"Does it look swollen?" She said and showed him her black eye.

Dipper started to panic a little and said," Everything's gonna be fine! I-I'll go get some ice!"

Dipper ran to find some ice; meanwhile, Mabel was showing some of her siblings her new pig.

"I've decided to name him Waddles, because he's waddles!" She said and held him up to Lori and Leni.

After winning Waddles, she started to show him off to her siblings. And she was now showing him to Lori and Leni.

"Aw! He's like totes cute Lei! Hey little guy." Leni said as she petted his head.

Lori looked skeptical and said," "Literally no offense, Mabel, but I think you should give him back. There's no way we're keeping that thing in the house. And I highly doubt mom and dad will let you keep him once we get back to Royal Woods."

"But Lori! We have to! Just look at him." Mabel said as she held Waddles up to her.

Lori was about to say something else when she looked at Waddles. He was giving her a cute face, which was heightened on how pudgy he was. He tilted his head a little and oinked a little. Lori gushed and hugged the pig.

"Fine, we'll keep him." She relented.

"Welcome to the family Waddles." Mabel said as she patted his head.

Dipper had gotten a bag of ice from the cooler near the shack, and ran back to help Wendy. Due to his nervousness, he didn't see where he was going. He then accidently ran into someone and he ended up dropping and spilling the ice. The person in question was the same bald guy who had hiding nearby.

"Hey, watch where you're going man!" Dipper grumbled to the guy and once he finished gathering the ice. He was about to search for Wendy again, but he didn't have to look far. What he saw, made his eyes widened.

"Just ease your eyeball into the freezy cone." Robbie said, as he placed shaved ice cone onto Wendy's eye.

"Robbie, thanks. That's really sweet. The gesture, and the flavored syrup." Wendy thanked the guitarist.

"Yeah, I was just here in the right place, at the right time. Y'know, I've been meaning to ask you… we've been spending a lot of time together and I wondering if maybe, you wanted to go out with me?" Robbie asked.

Wendy thought about it for a moment and said," Yeah, I guess so."

"Sweet!" Robbie cheered with a fist pump.

Dipper watched on in despair, while a heart shaped balloon popped behind him.

His twin then ran up to him, with Waddles in her arms. "Look, Dipper! I won my pet pig! His name is Waddles. I call'im that because he waddles! Also, Lori said it was a-okay to keep him! I can't wait to show him to mom, dad, Lily, Charles, Geo, Walt Cliff and everyone else when we get home!"

"Everything is different now." Dipper numbly said.

"What are you looking at?" Leia asked.

Lucas merely pointed and Mabel watched as Robbie and Wendy, who were holding hands. Got onto a ride called 'Tunnel of Love and Corn-Dogs'."

"Oh." Mabel said with a wince.

Later in the day, Lucas was lying down on ball toss game, looking dejected. His sisters and brothers had noticed and tried to cheer him up but it didn't work.

"Paging Dr. Waddles, we got a boy here with a broken heart. Haha! Come on, man. Leni worked on his suit." Leia said.

"You know bro, you can't let this get this down, I mean, when I made the embarrassing video of myself and Christina refused to look and talk to me, I didn't let it get to me, I just moved on." Lincoln said, hoping it would lift his older brother's spirits up.

"Yeah bro, you're on the boulevard of broken love right now but soon you'll be happy after getting over this." Luna said.

Dipper sighed and said," Do you guys ever wish you could go back and undo just one mistake?"

Lincoln nodded and said," Yep, but all we can do is fix it."

"Nope, I don't! I do everything right, all the time!" Leia said, not helping.

Luna sighed as well and said," Y'know it bro." Both her brothers gave her a raised eyebrow, knowing there was more to that.

"Luna, did something happen?" Lincoln asked.

Luna groaned and said," Sam said she loved me and I didn't say it back. I ended up panicking and hung up on her."

"Oh." Her siblings said with a wince.

Luna sat down and said," Sorry to take the spotlight from you, bro. But, what do you think I should've done?"

"Well, you and Sam have been dating for a while. And you both enjoyed it right? And gotten closer? Um… what else is there?" Lincoln asked.

"Do you feel as if your heart is racing? Or you just want to be with her? And she makes you very happy?" Dipper said and sighed longingly.

Luna thought about it, before she could come to a conclusion, Dipper got back to talking.

Lucas got up and went to sit on a bench and said," But still, this all happened because Robbie got to her first before I did. And I would've gotten there sooner with the ice if it wasn't for… that guy!"

Dipper pointed at another direction and everyone looked to see the guy Dipper had crashed into earlier.

"Hey, you! Toolbelt! You ruined my life!" Dipper said as he walked up to him.

"Huh?" The guy asked confused.

"Say, I saw you around the fair all day dude. But for some reason near us. Are you following us?" Luna suspiciously said.

"And why are you bald? What's that all about?" Mabel asked.

"Mabes, how does that make sense with this?" Lincoln asked with a raised eyebrow.

"AAAGH! My position has been COMPROMISED! Assuming stealth mode!" The guy said and then pressed buttons on his watch and made his suit change into different backgrounds. "Color match! Initiating color match! Come on dang it!"

"Wow, that's cool." Lincoln said.

"That's amazing! Are you from the future or something?" Mabel asked.

"Uh, NO! Who told you that?! MEMORY WIPE!"

He then threw a baby wipe at Leia's face.

She held it in her hands and said," This is a baby wipe."

The guy gave out a defeated sigh and said," All right, you've cornered me. I'm… a time traveler."

"Whoa, you're a what?" Luna said, not believing what she was hearing.

"So wait a minute, if you're from the future, do you have like a time machine, or something?" Dipper asked.

"Like in the show 'Physician Who'?" Lincoln asked.

The guy scoffed and said," Please, myself and the others who work for the Time Anomaly Unit aren't like him… shoot, I said too much! But yeah, that's kinda how it works."

Dipper was about to question further until he got an idea.

"Can I borrow it? I mean can we use your time machine just once?"

"No! Out of the question! You know, this is sensitive extremely complicated time equipment." He said as he took out a tape measure.

"You're kidding right?" Lincoln said with a raised eyebrow.

"It looks like a tape measure." Dipper pointed out.

"You shut your time-mouth!"

Luna looked skeptical and said," Your joshing us dude, I've seen the movies, they have to be like a machine or a DeLorean or a Telephone box."

"I think he's just crazy." Mabel staged whispered.

"Oh! You don't believe me?" The guy said as he pulled the pulled tape measure and disappeared.

The siblings gasped, now realizing the guy was telling the truth.

"Hey guys, I heard some whiny yelling over here and I thought I saw some guy do a disappearing act, what's going on?" Lynn asked as she walked up with a couple of prizes.

Before anyone could answer her, the guy reappeared in old fashioned Renaissance clothing.

"Guess where I was… hey who's she?"

"Our sister Lynn. But you were telling the truth then." Lincoln said in awe.

"Yes, 15 years ago there was a costume shop right here! One second." He said as he disappeared again.

"So uh… what's going on?" Lynn asked.

"We just met a real time traveler!" Leia excitedly said.

Lynn had a raised eyebrow and said," Really?"

The guy then came back in his normal suit, but it was on fire.

"Ah! Aw, hell! Pat! Pat down!" He yelled as he patted the fire out.

"So, who are you?" Lynn asked.

"Blendin Blandin, Time Anomaly Removal Crew year twenty sneventy-twelve. My mission is to stop a series of time anomalies that are supposed to happen at this very location! But-but I don't see any anomalies! I don't know if it's some kind of paradox, or I'm just really tired…" Blendin said and sat down.

Dipper looked at his siblings and discreetly pointed the time machine. They nodded, knowing what he was getting at.

"Sounds like you've been worked to the bone dude." Luna sympathized.

"Yeah, even I know when to relax and take a break when I'm in the zone for sports." Lynn said.

"Yeah, you could use a break. And I think we can recommend one of the various attractions at the Mystery Fair." Mabel said, and pulled out a couple of tickets.

Blendin got up and said," You know what? What the heck! I'm worth it!" He said. He then took the tickets and started to leave. "But I've got my eye on you! Eehh… ehhh."

He then got on a ride that was operated by Soos and took off his belt and started to ride on it. That allowed Dipper to steal the belt and the small group went inside the living room.

"Here it is you guys. Our ticket to any moment in history."

"Ah right, I want to see myself as a music legend in the future mates!" Luna said excitedly in her British accent.

"Psshh lame, how about when I become a world famous sports player." Lynn said.

"How about we find out the future lottery numbers and get rich." Lincoln suggested.

"Let's go get two dodos and force them to make out!" Mabel said.

"No! We gotta be smart about this. All that paradox talk kinda freaked me out. Also remember the rules from Going Back to the Future and Physician Who, serious problems if we affect anything big to the Time Stream. All I'm going to do is just don't miss the target and accidently hit Wendy in the eye and she won't got out with Robbie."

"I'm coming too! I wanna relive the greatest moment of my life: winning Waddles." Leia said and kissed Waddles.

"Wouldn't it make more sense if you take him with you?" Lincoln said.

"True but I want the satisfaction of getting him again."

"Me too, I wanna relive how I managed to dunk Grunkle Stan." Lynn said with a devious look.

Luna had a skeptical look and said," I'm not so sure dudes, what if something bad happens?"

"No worries sis, everything will be fine. Also, you'll get the chance to have a do over with your talk with Sam." Lucas said.

"What happened with Sam?" Lynn asked.

"Sam said she loved Luna. Luna panicked, hung up on her and she hasn't talked to her since." Lincoln said.

"Oh." Lynn said with a wince.

Luna then had a resolute look and said," Alright, I'm in."

"Alright everyone, here we go." Dipper said as he pulled the tape.

"High five anyone?" Lincoln said.

All five of them high fived and were then frozen in time along with everyone else. A second later, they disappeared and everything and everyone started to go in reverse until it went back to 12 o'clock. Dipper yelped, due to noticing his hat was on fire, but he quickly put it out.

They all ran outside and saw it was back to day time. To add that they were back in time, Stan could be heard yelling.

"It's Twelve O'Clock! The dunk tank is now open!"

"Oh yeah! Time get my dunk on." Lynn cheered and ran to the Dunking booth.

Mabel squealed and said," Have now fear Waddles! I'm coming!" She yelled and ran to the pig booth.

Luna took out her phone, and went to Sam's number. Her finger was hovering over the screen, but she didn't press call.

Luna sighed, she looked at her brothers and said," I don't know if I could do it bro's. What should I say?"

"Luna, just speak from the heart. Or better yet, what does your heart say?" Lincoln asked.

"Yeah, what Lincoln said. Remember how you found the courage to ask Sam out? It may be different now, but it's the same principle." Dipper added.

Luna thought about for a moment. She remembered how nervous and worried about how Sam would respond to her letter. But it worked out at the end, and they were going strong ever since. Not to mention the fact that her and Sam had called each other every day.

After thinking about it, Luna came to a decision.

"Thanks you guys. You both are rockin sibs." She said as she hugged her brothers, and walked away. So she could call Sam.

Mabel ran up to the pig booth, and before the carnie could finish his sentence, Mabel got Waddles and said," 15 POUNDS!" She hugged Waddles and said," And yes, I am a witch!" She said and ran off happily.

The booth guy brought out a torch lit it and said," Well, time to round up a mob."

Meanwhile, Lynn had already gotten to the Dunk Tank when Grunkle Stan had taunted everyone.

"Alright Lynn, let's see if you can dunk your Great Uncle." Stan taunted.

Lynn tossed the ball into the air for a second and threw it at the tree. Stan laughed again but was hit in the back of the head by the ball and fell in. Everyone cheered for Lynn again and hoisted her up on their shoulders. Stan got out of the water and onto the seat again and had a dazed look.

"Why do I have the weird feeling of Déjà Vu?"

With Luna, she was in the middle of talking to Sam again. She was glad

Luna smiled a little and said," That would be rockin."

"Yeah and sorry I have to make this call short. I promised to help out at the animal shelter today."

"No worries. Have fun." Luna said and braced herself for what she was about say.

"Hey Sam/And Luna." The both of them said at once.

The both of them giggled, and Luna said," You go first, Sammy."

"No, go ahead Luna."

Luna smiled and said," Yeah, I have something I want to say too Sam. But… I feel like it should be said once I get back. Or if you visit."

Sam smiled as well with a nod and said," Same here, Lune's. And yeah, I feel like it can wait once you get back. Or if I visit. I'll talk to you later."

"Yeah, talk to you later." Luna said and she hung up.

Luna smiled, feeling more sure of herself and happy that she knew how she felt about her girlfriend now.

Meanwhile, with the Loud brothers, the both of them were figuring out how to help Dipper with throwing the ball.

"So do you have any ideas on how this should go, wind speed and other things are a hazard. Considering we can't control it, we have to make due with it."

"What if somehow I distracted Wendy and the booth guy while you hand Lynn the ball and she throws it while their distracted?"

Dipper tapped his chin in thought for a second and the said," Good idea little brother, but other people will be around and the possibility of them calling us out are high… unless, I got an idea!"

Later Dipper was with Wendy at the Ball game again with the plan. He was judging the wind speed when Wendy interrupted him.

"Are you gonna go, man?" Wendy asked.

"And a-one and a-two and a-uh!" He said and purposely threw it straight up.

"Ah! Dude! You missed!" Wendy disappointedly said.

"Did I?"

The ball came back down, rolls down the tent, flies up, hits the windgage, rolls down a pipe that Lincoln was there to lift up, and flies at the dunk tank target. Grunkle Stan was holding an icepack to his head and saw the ball hit the target and nothing happened, he laughed triumphantly while the crowed groaned.

The ball then came back and flies between Dipper and Wendy, knocks down all the cans, and bounces off the back of the stand, and breaks through the top of the tent.

"Your stuffed creature of indeterminate species, miss." The Ball game carnie said as he handed Wendy the Duck-panda.

"Oh, hell yeah!" Wendy said as she squeezed it.

Lucas had a smug smile and then caught the ball with his hat.

"There you are, Wendy!" Robbie said as he walked up to them.

"Hey, Robbie."

"So I was wondering if I… you a…"

"Look what Dipper got for me!" Wendy said as she showed him the stuffed animal.

"Pfft. Whatever. Can't even tell what species it is. Stupid." He said and pulled his hood over his face and walked away defeated.

"What's his deal? Looks like I came to the fair with the right guy. My best friend."

Dipper eyes widened a little, he was a little disappointed that Wendy didn't say anything further, but he was surprised how she had called him her best friend.

"Y-you actually called me that?"

Wendy giggled and said," Yeah man, we hang out a lot and we have a good time. Also, there's no rule saying that I can't have best friend of the opposite gender."

"Wow… ok, that's cool. I'll be back in a moment, I need to do something." Dipper said and ran off.

Lincoln, Leia, Lynn and Luna waited for Dipper and then saw him with a huge smile.

"Guys! It worked! Wendy told me that I was her best friend! It's not I was hoping for, but it's still good. Thanks for helping me Linc."

"No problem, bro." Lincoln said and they high-fived.

"I felt the satisfaction of dunking Grunkle Stan again." Lynn smugly said.

"And I got to win Waddles again! Today is awesome!" Leia happily said.

The group then looked at Luna, who smiled.

"I feel the same way about Sam. And we didn't say it, but we're going to say it either when we get back to Royal Woods. Or if she visits.

Dipper then took out the tape measure and said," And it's all thanks to this."

"There's the witch! She's wearing a fashionable sweater! Get her!" A voice called.

The group turned to see an angry mob approach. Normally Mabel would feel happy about someone complimenting her wardrobe. But now was not the time. She screamed and ran, but her sweater caught onto the time machine.

"Mabel stop!" Lincoln yelled.

Once she did, the time machine started to glow.

"Dang'it." Dipper said, before they disappeared in a flash of light

The group reappeared over a dirt road and fell to the ground. They all groaned as they got up and looked up.

"Uh, where are we?" Lincoln said.

"The question is: when are we." Dipper said.

"Gotta be somewhere in the past dudes. Cause I don't see the shack anywhere." Luna said as she looked around.

"Hey, do you guys hear that?" Mabel asked.

The others listened, and it sounded like faint rumbling. The rumbling grew louder and everyone turned around to see a large dust cloud coming towards them. The cloud was actually a herd of Buffalo stampeding towards them.

"RUN FOR IT!" Lynn yelled.

They all screamed and ran away as fast as they can.

"Is it kind of odd I feel like singing 'Home on the Range'?" Luna said.

"Not the time Luna!" Her siblings yelled.

Due to running away and looking back, they accidently fell off a cliff side. They all screamed again until they fell through a roof of a covered wagon and landed on some goods

"Where are we? The 70's?" Mabel asked fearfully.

"From what I learned in history class and dad's Pioneer Boy books. I say we traveled to pioneer times." Dipper said.

"By, Trembley! Fertilla, it seems you've given birth to five more children!" The driver said to his wife.

"It appears I have. More little hands to render the tallow." His wife said, who was also with her numerous kids.

"Tallow what, dude?" Luna said.

"Her mouth is filled with silver, mother!" One of the children said as he pointed to Mabel.

"And this one is dressed like a Prostitute." Another kid said as she pointed to Luna.

"Hey!" Luna indigently said.

"These are called braces." Leia clarified.

"Leia, we can't start messing with the past!" Lincoln said.

Mabel waved him off and said," Please, we messed the past today and everything is fine! Hey, check this out, a magic machine that let's you play games, make calls and text people!" Mabel said as she showed them their phone and handed it to one of them." Shoes that blink!"

Leia stomped on the floor and her shoes lit up.

"Ooooooh!" They said.

"It seems I brightened their day. Haha! High five!" Mabel said with a laugh and high-fived Fertilia. "Teach it to your friends!"

Luna groaned, grabbed Leia's phone, and took the Time Machine from Dipper.

"Let's go before we mess with the past more."

She pulled the tape and they disappeared. They reappeared again and saw a T-Rex in front of them. They all screamed and Lincoln took the time machine and frantically pressed the buttons. They disappeared before the dinosaur could eat them.

They reappeared again and found themselves in what seemed to be a dystopian future. People were running away from something. And a giant flying baby soon appeared and destroyed a building with his laser eyes and laughed evilly.

"This future seems neat!" Mabel said.

Dipper took the tape measure and he then pressed the button and they soon found themselves back when they went fishing.

"Huh, well at least we're close. Let me have a shot." Lynn said as she took it and pulled the tape. When they disappeared, one of Lynn's sweatbands fell out of her pocket and landed on the ground.

They reappeared again and found themselves at the unveiling of the Wax Sculptures.

"Behold… me and others!" Past Stan said as he unveiled the sculptures.

"Let's try this again." Mabel said as she took the tape measure and they disappeared.

They reappeared again and found themselves in the middle winter. The Mystery Shack was behind them.

"Sheesh, it's chilly out here." Lincoln said.

"OW! This thing is getting hotter!" Mabel yelped as the thing started to glow.

"This looks bad!" Dipper yelled.

They all screamed as they disappear again. A light goes on in the shack and a younger Stan Pines opened the door and looked around. He shrugged and then closed the door, once figured it was nothing.

The siblings then reappear again and find themselves in darkness. And also cramped together.

"Where are we now dudes?" Luna fearfully asked.

"Oh no, we must've traveled to the end of time!" Dipper said in horror.

Everyone then screamed in terror.

"Wait! Why does it smell so bad?" Lincoln said.

"Yeah, it smells like a locker room in here." Lynn said.

Dipper tapped on a wall, and then tried to feel for knob, which he did. He opened it and they all fell out of a porta potty.

"Great Scott! We're back in the present!" Lincoln happily said.

They then hear someone yelping in pain and saw Pacifica with a chicken that was pecking at her head. They all laughed and Mabel found Waddles and hugged him. The sound of small group was heard and Mabel, along with Waddles, went back into the porta potty.

"Have any of you seen a witch?" The leader of the mob asked.

"Yeah, she went on her broomstick and flew to Europe." Lincoln said.

"Oh, well she's gone now; I guess it's over everyone."

The mob dropped their things and walked away. Mabel looked out and got out with Waddles.

"Thanks bro-bro." Mabel said with a grin.

"Don't mention it."

"YOU FIVE!" Blendin yelled as he took the time machine.

The five of them yelped in fright and looked at an angry Blendin.

"Do you have any idea, how many rules you just broke?! I'm asking, I wasn't there with you. It was probably a lot, right?"

A second later, two men in futuristic clothing appeared next to him.

"Blendin Blandin." One of them said.

"AAAGH! The Time Paradox Avoidment Enforcement Squadron!" Blendin yelled in terror.

"That's right, and our phones have been ringing off the hook! There are settlers high-fiving in the 1800's and among other things!" The other one said.

"You're under arrest for violation of the Time Traveler's Code of Conduct." The first one said as he handcuffed Blendin and led him away.

"It was those kids! And their leader, Waddles!"

"That's a pig, Blendin."

"I'll you guys for this! I'll go back in time and make sure your parents never MEET!" Blendin yelled.

The siblings waited for a moment, and then grinned, due to nothing happening.

"Well, we're still here." Dipper said.

"Heh, empty threats are lame." Lynn chuckled a little.

"But dudes, he said he was looking for Time Anomalies… I think they were us." Luna said.

"My mind hurts from this." Lincoln said as he rubbed his temples.

Waddles sniffed at something and saw Robbie with a candied apple. He got out of Mabel's grasp and ran at him. Robbie jumped and dropped the apple and Waddles ate it. Robbie then backed into a table, which caused a bucket of hot water to tip over. The water splashed onto Robbie, and his jeans immediately tightened on him.

"My pants! They're shrinking! OW!" Robbie said as he fell to the ground in pain.

Everyone saw this and laughed at his misfortune.

"Oh man, that's gotta hurt." Wendy said as she giggled.

"Yeah, good job Waddles." Dipper said as he patted the pig on the head.

In the far off future, Blendin was on trial with Agents surrounding him and Time Baby.

"You have broken the eternal laws of space time and also didn't get me an autograph from the sports legend Lynn Jr. Loud and the great musician Luna Loud!" Time Baby said.

"I beg you mercy, Time Baby!" Blendin pleaded.

"You now must clean up all the anomalies!" Time Baby declared.

Blendin was then sent to all the locations where the anomalies occurred and started to fix them.

Epilogue

It was right around night time when the Mystery Fair was coming to an end. Luna was getting ready behind a makeshift stage that Soos, Lana and a couple of worker Stan somehow gotten to help, which was probably bribery. A day before the fair started, Luna had convinced Stan to allow do a rock show by the end of the day and he had relented, after telling him she would do it for free and also gave him the idea of paying people to see it, even though they paid to get in the fair.

But knowing Stan, he had a way to fool people into giving him money.

"I still have a feeling that this was a bad idea." Stan mumbled.

"Why's that Grunkle Stan?" Lincoln asked.

"New age music doesn't have the same kick it had in my day. Ungrateful Dead, The Turning Stones, The What, The Weevils, before they became a bunch of free loading, loving hippies, and many others were great. All I hear is love songs and other junk." Stan grumbled.

"Don't worry Grunkle Stan, Luna weevil probably have everyone turning over dead." Luan said and laughed, while everyone groaned.

"Do you hear yourself talk?" Lisa asked.

"Yep." Luan proudly said.

"I think that was rhetorical sis." Lynn said.

"Grunkle Stan, I think I see someone motioning you on stage." Mabel said as she held Waddles.

"Why I agreed to have all 13 grandkids and then have a pig live me with I'll never know." Stan grumbled and walked up the stage.

"He didn't mean that, did he?" Leni asked.

Stan got onto the stage and cleared his throat and said.

"Well folks! The Mystery Shack's Mystery Fair is ending soon… or is it?" He said mysteriously and everyone actually wondered about that.

"But enough that, my grandniece, Luna is going to sing for the ending. Also, to all you teenagers out there. If I see any of you even look at her in a way. I will break you in many ways!" Stan threatened.

Every boy in the audience blanched or coward in fear when they heard that. While the Loud's were surprised by what Stan said but were thankful.

"Now, onto the music. Enjoy!" Stan said and walked down.

The curtain moved and Luna was in front with her guitar while Thompson was on drums in the back.

"Huh, I didn't know Thompson played drums." Dipper said.

"He does, little dude. He's awesome. Hope he doesn't blow it." Nate joked.

"Maybe he'll blow chunks." Lee joked and Nate punched him on the shoulder while he chuckled.

"What up Gravity Falls! I'm Luna loud and on the drums is Brian Thompson!" Luna said.

"I always thought Thompson was his first name?" Dipper said.

Wendy shrugged and said," It's not, we just call him by that name."

"What's up everyone! Hope you enjoyed today's festivities and had a rockin' time! A little song that I made myself and played back home during a contest. Go ahead and tag along if you want. Ready Thompson?"

"Ready!"

'Man, wish Sam, Chunk, Mazzy and Sully were here with me. Oh well, this one goes out to you guys.' Luna thought about her girlfriend, Roadie and bandmates. "Alright! 1…2…3!"

Luna and Thompson started to play and everyone cheered.

Rock and roll is running through my veins (hey, hey)

Electric soul like wires to my brain (hey, hey)

I can't be wrong, don't need direction

I can find my way

Play it loud, play it loud

I got no time for turning it down

Play it loud, play it proud!

I live it, I breathe it

Don't tell me I don't need it now

Play it loud!

Sorry, I'm not sorry for being proud

"Woo! Sing it Luna!" Luan praised.

"Way to rock it Loud!" Wendy cheered.

Play it loud!

Turn it up until your speakers blow out

Robbie, who had gotten new pants, was head banging and said Tambry, Lee and Nate," Man, she rocks! Too bad she's taken."

"Yeah too bad man, but hey, look at Tambry. This is probably the longest she doesn't have her face in her phone." Nate said.

"Shut up and enjoy the music, Nate." Tambry retorted and Lee laughed.

"Burn, dude!"

First things first, I ain't no second place

Rules are meant for bending till they break

Right or wrong with no exceptions

Rocking out my way

"One more time, everyone! Let's rock, c'mon!" Luna yelled as she shredded.

Play it loud, play it loud

I got no time for turning it down

Play it loud, play it proud!

I live it, I breathe it

Don't tell me I don't need it now

Play it loud!

Sorry, I'm not sorry for being proud

Play it loud!

Turn it up until your speakers blow out

Until your speakers blow out

Until your speakers BLOW OUT!

As soon as Luna was done, everyone cheered and Luna held her hands high in the air with two peace signs.

"Good night Gravity Falls!"
