In Gideon's room, he was busy plotting his revenge against the Loud/Pines family. He was looking through the Journal, but wasn't having any luck.
"Zombie attack? Never works, they don't take orders. Blood rain? Ew, mess up my suit, hehe, no thank you. Demon Caterpillars? DRAT!" He then closes it in frustration. "There must be a perfect way to exact vengeance on Loud/Pines… or is it Pines/Loud's? Ah whatever, it's not enough to harm 'em, I need to take something from them. Something that'll give me ultimate power. Wait, of course! It's perfect." He said as he held his model of the Mystery Shack.
At the Mystery Shack, the family was watching another episode of Duck-tective.
"You've gone too far this time, Duck-tective!" The Constable said on TV.
"Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack." He responded.
"Hmm, it's going to take a lot more than that to get him out of this foul mess. Haha!" Luan said while everyone except Mabel groaned.
The doorbell rings and Lincoln was the one to open it. A man in an official looking suit was at the door.
"Grunkle Stan, there's a guy in a suit looking for you."
Stan yelped and jumped out of his chair and said," The Tax Collector! You found me!"
He then threw a smoke bomb to cover his tracks. This caused everyone near him to start coughing.
"Hey! Watch the hair!" Lola yelled.
Stan ripped out a decoration in the wall, which revealed a bag of money in it; and then tried to search the tiles of the wall.
"Aah… uh… which one of these is the trap door?" Stan said.
"I'm starting to question why mom and dad sent us here." Lynn whispered to Luna, who nodded in agreement.
The lawyer walked into the room and said," Mister Pines. I'm from the Winninghouse Coupon Savers contest, and YOU ARE OUR BIIIIG WINNER!"
The kids gasped as a cameraman and two women who were holding the check walked into the house.
"Heh? My one and only dream, which was to possess money, has come true!" Stan realized.
"Holy shmoley! We're rich! I'm buying some mint Ace Savey comics!" Lincoln exclaimed.
"EEEEE! I'm like, going to totes by some new outfits!" Leni squealed.
"New makeup… or that dollhouse I want, here I come!" Lola said.
"I'm going to buy a talking horse!" Mabel said.
The lawyer gave Stan a contract to sign and said," Just sign here for the money.
"You bet!" Stan said and signed it.
Gideon then proceeded to rip through the check and said," Ha! Stanford, you fool! You just signed over the Mystery Shack to lil' ol' me!" He gloated and started to dance.
The siblings gasped.
Stan looked amused and said," Uh, you might wanna take another look there!"
"The shack is hereby signed over to… SUCK A LEMON LITTLE MAN?!" Gideon read in shock.
Stan and the kids laughed at his misfortune, as Gideon ripped up the paper anger. Lola walked over to him and said.
"Nice try bub! Now you and your fabulous hair get out!"
Gideon gushed and said," Why thank you, I make sure to use the best products. But that is beside the point! I am not a threat to be taken lightly!"
Gideon motioned for the Lawyer to pick him up, which he did to get to Stan's height.
"I'll get you, Stanford Pines! I'LL GET YOU ALL!" He said as the Lawyer carried him out.
The family looked on with no amount of concern.
"Like, should we be worried?" Leni asked.
Stan shrugged and said," No. Wanna see what else is on TV?"
"Sounds like a plan." Lincoln said.
"Yeah, alright." Mabel said.
"Best part is the theme songs, they only last 30 seconds or more, but their tunes are good." Luna said, as they all sat back down.
Later on, Dipper and Mabel were playing chess in the Gift Shop. Soos was busy restocking shelves with Lana. Lola was busy looking at herself in the mirror. Unfortunately for Dipper, he was starting to get annoyed by his twin's antics. Due to her not taking the game seriously, or not knowing how to play at all. He was starting to think he should've played with Lisa or Lincoln.
"Little guy to black space nine!" Mabel said.
Lucas had an annoyed look and said," It's a pawn, that's not your color, and stop stealing the tiny horses!"
Leia was shown to be holding all the Knight Chess pieces in her sweater pocket. She didn't seemed to care and said," They like it better in here. Don't you babies?" She said and did some horse noises.
Lola rolled her eyes and muttered," Real horses are better."
Dipper smiled as he moved one of his pieces to make it checkmate and said," And… checkmate!"
"What? Boo!"
Dipper celebrated by placing another tally mark on a notebook. The notebook was shown to have a score of wins and losses. Dipper's side had 85, while Mabel's was zero.
"O-oh! Dipper wins again!" He cheered.
"Yo, Mabel? Can you pass us that brain in the jar? The lady one?" Soos asked.
"I got it." Dipper said.
"Thanks, but Mabel's taller."
Lucas got up and said," What? No she's not. We're the same height. We've always been. Just like Lola and Lana."
"Sorry dude, but Lana is actually taller than Lola."
Lana fist pumped and said," Yeah! This is awesome!"
Lola gasped and said," What?! You're just saying that because you two are friends. That's not fair!"
"No worries dude, I'm not. See."
Soos takes out a Tape Measure and measures the heights of both sets of twins and said," Yep, Leia and Lana both exactly one millimeter on you!"
"What?!" Both Lucas and Lola said.
"Whoa, don't you see what's happening, you guys? This millimeter is just the beginning. Lana and I are evolving into the superior twins!" Mabel realized.
"She's right! Bigger and stronger!" Lana said and flexed her arms.
"Like some kinda alpha-twins!" Soos supplied.
"Alpha-twins! Alpha-twins!" The both of the chanted.
Both Dipper and Lola looked at each other, knowing this would turn bad.
"C'mon, guys, nobody even use millimeters. It only makes you taller than us in Canada."
"Yeah and last time I checked Oregon isn't a part of Canada." Lola said with a nod.
"Y'know. Besides Linc. Who knew I had another little brother. Ha ha ha ha! Yeah!" Mabel teased.
"Whoop whoop!" Lana cheered along.
Stan came into the room and said," I was awoken by the sound of mockery. Where is it? Show me the object or objects of ridicule!"
"Mabe's and I are taller than Dipper and Lola!" Lana said.
"By ONE millimeter!" Lola fumed.
"Hey, hey, don't get… short with your sister's. Ha!"
"Now Grunkle Stan, I hope you don't think little of them."
"Yeah, it's shortens their esteem!" Lana said.
Stan laughed and said, "Ha, ha! Ya! And, and uh… their short!"
All three laughed, while Dipper and Lola were left fuming. With Lola being close to pouncing, and attacking.
"Dudes, maybe you should lay off a tiny bit." Soos said, while unintentionally making a joke.
Stan lightly slapped Soos on the back and said, "Ha! Tiny! Soos is in on it now! Where's Luan, she should get in on this."
Both Mabel and Stan laughed more, with Dipper and Lola leaving in a huff. Luan then came into the room and looked around excitedly.
"I heard laughter from my room! Did someone say or do something funny?"
"Sorry sis, but you missed it. You came here a little short!" Lana said.
All three laughed with Luan, who didn't know the context of what was going on, shrugged and laughed as well. Soos was left in the middle of it, not knowing what to do.
In the attic, Dipper was pacing, while Lola sat on Dipper bed, with crossed arms and annoyed look.
"Short, no one calls Lola Loud short!" Lola growled. "At least I'm taller than Lindsey Sweetwater, and my other so called competitors. That's something I have still."
Dipper rolled his eyes and said," Yep sis, that's all that matters."
Lucas looked at one of the shelves and saw Journal 3 was situated there. He tried to reach for it, but he couldn't.
"Oh. Come on." He muttered.
He then kicked the bookcase, the Journal fell down and he caught it. Dipper then looked through it and Lola walked over to him.
"Find anything?"
"Hang on. Something that will make us taller. Let's see… 'Legends of miniature buffalo and giant squirrels have led me to believe there are height altering properties hidden deep within the forest.'"
Dipper looked at his little sister with a small smile and said," You thinking what I'm thinking?" Lola nodded.
Later, the siblings were walking in the forest, and they were being led by Thomas.
"Thanks for leading us to the area, Thomas." Lola said.
"Don't mention it, Lola. Anything for a friend, why did you and your brother want to see this place?"
"Uh… to see the beauty of the area." Dipper said.
Thomas rubbed his chin in thought for a second, smiled and said," Sounds dandy to me. I'll be headin' off. See you guys later!"
He then took off into the air and flew away. The siblings waved goodbye, and then started walk around the area.
"So, any idea where this place is?" Lola asked.
Dipper looked at the Journal and said," We're close. I think-"
Dipper then tripped on a rock and rolled down a small hill. Lola ran after him, while trying not to get her dress dirty or fall down as well.
"As graceful as a klutz." Lola said with a giggle but then gasped.
"What?" Dipper asked, as he got up.
He saw where Lola was staring at, and saw a tiny deer standing on his chest. It jumped off of him as he got up, a small eagle then flew a circle around the siblings, while also letting out a screech. They then notice something near a clearing. A Mountain Lion was seeing and it was slightly growling at them.
Lola gulped and said," Is it far away, or a matter of perspective?"
The Mountain Lion growled and pounces at them. And both siblings scream, and Dipper get's in front to protect his little sister. But, the Mountain Lion soon freezes when it is caught in a beam of light, and shrinks. It then landed on Dipper's vest and he hold's it in the palm of his hand. It then bit his hand, and Lucas chuckled.
"It still hurts, but less." He said and the Mountain Lion soon went away.
Lola hugged her brother, and Lucas hugged back.
"Thanks, Luke."
Dipper smiled and said," Hey, you're my little sister, you know us Loud's stick together. Even if your bossy for a 6 year old." He said with laugh while Lola glared at him.
The both of them looked around, and noticed different animals of different sizes. They could tell that was being done by going through the light that was being projected by the crystals. Dipper then out a Swiss Army Knife, and got to digging one out.
Back at the shack, Stan was telling what had happened earlier to Lori and Luna.
"So Lana said 'You came here a little short!' Ha, Ha! Humor." Stan said.
Lori and Luna looked at each other with concerned looks. It had only been a couple of weeks since being in Gravity Falls, and Grunkle Stan had gotten to know them more. Surely he would've known what would happen if someone made Lola mad.
"Stan, you do know you made a big mistake right?" Lori said.
Stan rose a brow and said," Come again?"
"Don't you know? No one makes Lola mad. There are consequences." Luna gravely said.
Stan looked slightly nervous and said," What do you mean?"
Lori and Luna then tell Stan a couple of stories of what happened to them after getting on Lola's bad side. Stan then gulped, started to sweat and looked scared.
"Uh, just a hypothetical question. Is there any way to apologize?" Stan nervously said.
Luna shook her head and said," It's too late, brah."
Stan yelped and ran out of the room. Lincoln was coming inside, and got out of the way when his Great Uncle ran past him. Lincoln had a confused look when he saw Lori and Luna giggling.
"What's going on?"
Lori smirked and said," Remember how we fooled you when you and Dip bought those noise canceling earplugs?"
Lincoln remembered, but he also remembered how he and his older brother were scared on what Lola would do to them. And then found themselves temporarily deaf, along with everyone else, minus Lisa, who caused it, due to an explosion.
"Yeah, why?"
Luna giggled again and said," Well, it's the same thing right now, but it's Stan this time. We'll just let him be in fear for bit, and then tell him."
Lincoln shook his head, looked at the readers and said," Well folks, this is going to be interesting."
Meanwhile, inside the gift shop, Mable and Lana were talking to Soos.
"I've been buying big clothes; I'll grow into them." Leia said.
"Yeah, a couple tank tops and Overalls. That's my style." Lana proudly said.
Soos nodded and said," It suits you. You look pretty rad."
"Thanks." Lana said, slightly blushing from the compliment.
Lucas and Lola then walked through the door, looking confident, with Lucas saying.
"Hey guys, notice anything, different about us?"
"Holy hot sauce! You both grew an extra millimeter!" Soos exclaimed.
"W-what?" Both Mabel and Lana said in shock.
"Growth spurt. It happens." Lola smugly said.
Mabel then became happy again and said," Well, Lana's and mine happened first. I'm gonna be taller in the end. It's science. If you need more proof, talk to Lisa."
"What? But the four of us are the same height, well, excluding our average heights by age."
Lana shrugged and said a little happily," Hey, what Mabes said is true. Whoo! Alpha Twins!"
Both Dipper and Lola narrowed their eyes as the other two kept on chanting. Lola gritted her teeth and was about to do something, but Dipper stopped her and winked.
"Oh yeah? Something tells me that we'll get another growth spurt comin' on right now." Dipper said and the both of them walked off.
"Don't you think it's a little too early to do that again?" Lola whispered.
"Hey, it's only another millimeter or two." Dipper said with a shrug.
The both of them grow again in the attic, and stop just in time when Mabel and Lana kick down the door. Which ended up going off it's hinges a little.
"Yeah, I'm gonna need to fix that later… whoa, what happened to you two?" Lana said.
"Y'know, puberty and stuff." Dipper said.
Lola shrugged and said," I'm just a kid, we still grow."
"It doesn't make sense. Just a second ago you two were- WAIT A MINUTE! This is some kinda magicky thing. Isn't it? Was it a wizard or something? There's a wizard in this closet, isn't it? ISN'T THERE?" Mabel realized.
Lana scratched her head and said," Huh, I would've gone with stilts or using high heels, but considering what's been going on lately. I believe you. So, where's the wizard?"
Lola scoffed and said," Yeah right. There isn't."
Leni then came into the room with an excited look and said," I heard something about a Genie and high heels! Is there a Genie that gives you High Heels in here?"
Dipper had a dumbfounded look and thought,' Sometimes I wonder how I'm related to all of them.' And then said aloud," What? No!"
Mabel had a raised eyebrow and said, "You're telling me that there is not a wizard in this closet. You're telling me that if I open this door right now-"
Lola growled and said a little annoyed," Fine! Open it then!"
Mabel then opened the door, there wasn't anything in there, but Leni gasped.
"Is it an invisible Genie?"
Meanwhile, the door rang downstairs, and Lynn was the one to open it. She had a bored expression, when she saw who it was.
"Oh, it's you." She said to Gideon.
"Listen you, you get Stanford! Tell him I have 1000 cursed Egyptian Super Termites in this jar. Hand over the deed to your property or I'll smash this jar with this bat, and they'll devour this shack with you all inside!" Gideon threatened, while holding aforementioned jar of Termites and bat.
"What do you have in there again?" Lucy appeared next to Gideon.
Gideon yelped in surprise and fear and accidently dropped the jar. The Termites got out and attacked Gideon.
"Aaaah! Get it off! Awww!" He screamed and ran off.
Lynn and Lucy smirked, well; Lucy's expression was the same. But for those who knew her well, could tell she was. Both sisters fist-pumped each other, and watched Gideon's misfortune.
Meanwhile, back in the attic, Mabel and Leni were still trying to find the wizard.
"Maybe he only responds to a password?" Leni suggested.
"That could work! Excpecto wizzarium! Wizle! Wizar-"
"Yeah, I'm starting to think it's something else." Lana said, while pinching the bridge of her nose.
"It's not a wizard! We grew ourselves by using a magic flashlight!" Dipper said.
Lola groaned and said," Smooth you dummy."
Both Leia and Lana looked at each other and said," Lemme see that thing!"
"Aah!" Both Dipper and Lola said and ran off.
Leni was still looking in the closet and said," Don't worry sis! I'm still going to look for the Genie. I will find you!"
Leia gave her thumbs up and said," Thanks sis. You can't hide forever, wizard!" She said and ran off with Lana.
Both pairs of twins fought for the crystal flashlight outside. They ended up making a caterpillar grow larger, and it ended up crushing some cars. Lana managed to knock the flashlight out of Dipper's hand, and Mabel picked it up, but accidently made her hand grow larger.
"Ahh!" She yelped.
"It's ok it can shrink things too." Dipper said and used the flashlight to return Mabel's hand back to normal.
"Hmm, interesting. But, karate chop!" Lana said and hit Dipper's hand.
"Hey!"
Lana used it to make Lola's head bigger, and she ended up falling on the grass.
"Hey! I can't compete in pageants like this!" She said and managed to snatch the flashlight back, and made her head normal.
She then used it on Mabel's head, and it shrunk.
"Ahh!" She said and got it away from her, and fixed her head.
All four of them try to grab it, but it soon flies out of their hands.
"My, what delightful manner of a dohickery is this?" Gideon said, as he walked nearby.
The four of them froze, with Mabel whispering to Dipper," Maybe he didn't see us use it, and doesn't know it's a magic flashlight that can grow and shrink things."
But as it turned out, Gideon was close enough to hear them.
Lola glared at her and said," Really? Even Leni wouldn't do that."
Gideon turned the flashlight on and off. He then pointed it at them."
"No, no-"They all said.
All four of them shrunk, and they heard Gideon laugh, and the next thing they knew, they were soon put inside a glass jar.
The group of four ended up pounding on the glass, in an attempt to get out. But after a couple of minutes, they stopped, but they were still mad.
"LET US OUT OF HERE YOU WHITE HAIRED, DIRT BAG!" Lola yelled in anger.
Lana had a miffed look and said," Dang it, I can't believe this is the only time I didn't bring my tools, my hammer would be able to smash the jar. And then use it to bop Gideon over the head."
"We're tiny, I don't think that will hurt him." Lucas pointed out.
"I meant when we get back to normal."
"Wait guys, I hear something." Mabel said.
The sound of Gideon talking was heard, but it was muffled, then a sound of a door slam, a vacuum cleaner on, and then another door slam a second later. All four of them lost their balance when Gideon got the jar out of his pocket, opened the lid, and dumped them onto a table in his room.
"You four!" Gideon said and glared at them.
Dipper stepped in front of the other three, so he could protect them.
"What're you gonna do with us?" Mabel yelled.
"Yeah, snow head!" Lana said.
Gideon gave Mabel a sincere look and said," Mabel, I wouldn't hurt a hair on your itty-bitty head, if you agree to be my queen!" He said and started to reach for something under a desk.
"We live in a Democracy! No matter what Lola keeps on saying. And never!" Mabel defiantly said.
"Maybe you'll change your mind after this!" He said and picked Mabel up.
"No! I will fight you until the day I-"
She gasped when she saw what he was going to put her in and said excitedly," Gummy Koalas!"
Gideon put her in the bag and she started to eat it.
"Oh, oh! I want to go in the bag too!" Lana said, jumping slightly with excitement.
Gideon shrugged and said," Works for me."
Lana was placed in it as well, and started to eat along with Mabel, and they high-fived.
Gideon turned to Dipper and Lola. He then turned the lamp on and aimed it mainly at Dipper.
"As for you two, tell me. I know Princess here wouldn't be interested in this kind of stuff. But how exactly did you come upon this magic item? Did somebody tell you about it? Did you read about it somewhere!?"
Dipper touched the journal that had in his vest. Him, his siblings, Soos and Wendy were the only ones who about it. But they all agreed to not tell anyone. He knew that the author didn't want anyone to know about it.
Lisa had wanted to test it and do some experiments on it. But, Dipper had strictly told her not to. Due to not knowing what will happen if Lisa got her hand on it.
He then noticed behind him and Lola that there was an air-horn. Lola noticed it as well, smirked and she started to move towards it.
"Come closer and I'll tell you." Dipper said.
Gideon leaned in and turned his ear to Dipper.
"NOW!" He yelled.
Lola blew the air-horn for a brief second. Gideon yelped and went back, but also got more pissed off.
Lana giggled along with Mabel and said," Dinner and show."
"I COULD SQUASH YOU RIGHT NOW!" He yelled, then called started to calm down. Steel yourself Gideon. You can use' em. You can use' em…"
Gideon realized something and reached for a phone, and dialed a number.
Meanwhile back at the shack, Soos and the others were setting up mirrors around the room. Stan was watching them work, and it was also their punishment, minus Soos, for making feel as if his life was on the line from the attempt at payback. But in all honesty, he thought it was a good one.
"Soos! This maze of mirrors is your best idea that I'm taken credit for yet. We're gonna make a fortune." Stan then took off his fez and looked at the mirror. "Have my ears always been this big?"
"Yes they've literally been… Lincoln, what are you doing?" Lori said, trying to keep herself from laughing.
Lincoln was looking himself in one of the mirrors, and he was looking at his chest. He blushed, pulled his shirt back and said," N-nothing."
"Are you admiring your non-existent chest hair again, dude?" Luna teased.
Lincoln had a defensive look and said," I'll have you know that it's two now!"
The phone then rang and Luna was the closets.
"Yo, Mystery Shack." She said.
"Stanford… wait, who's this?"
Luna raised a brow and said," Luna Loud… wait, is this Gideon?"
"Yes, but you tell your Grand-Uncle this. I have you're a couple of your siblings. Tell Stanford to hand over the deed to the Mystery Shack right now, or great harm will befall them!"
Luna blinked for second, processing the information, and then laughed," Ha! Keep fooling yourself, little dude! As if someone like you can take someone hostage." [1]
"Oh yeah! I will text you a photo!"
"Yeah, yeah. Cry me river dude. Good goodbye." She said and hung up the phone. [2&3]
"Who was that?" Luan asked.
Luna had an uninterested look and said," Nobody important."
Back in Gideon's room, he growled in anger and threw the phone at the wall and it broke. He fumed, but then realized something, and started laughing crazy.
"What am I doin'? I don't need ransom! I got this!" He said and looked at the flashlight. "I'll just shrink Stan and anyone else in the Shack and then it's all mine! you'll be helpless to stop me, and if you step outta line, SMASH!" He said and broke the heads of a couple of the figurines of the Louds.
"Gideon! The ice cream truck is here!" Gideon's dad yelled.
"Comin'! Gideon replied, he then grabbed his pet hamster and put him on the table next to Dipper and Lola. "Guard 'em Cheekums. I'm comin'!" Gideon said and ran out the room, giggling.
Lucas grabbed a q-tip and poked Cheekums. All he did was squeak, and did nothing else.
"Geo has more brains than him. And also Gideon has serious issues." Lola said.
"Not important. We gotta get out of here and save Stan and the others!"
"Can't we just let him shrink them? Stop Gideon, and then use the others as dolls?" Lola said.
Lucas gave his sister a look, and Lola huffed.
"Fine, so now what?"
Lana and Mabel got out of the Gummy Koala bag, with Lana burping.
"That hit the spot. But seriously, he's taller than us! And he has the flashlight thing."
Dipper nodded and said," Right, but at lease Lola and I are taller then you guys."
"Actually…" Mabel said.
Dipper then found a ruler and measured the four of them. Lana and Mabel were taller than Dipper and Lola by a millimeter.
Lola knocked the ruler down in anger and mumbled," How are you two still taller than us?"
"I guess it's another mystery." Lana smugly said, and went to Cheekums along with Mabel.
"Just another reason we've gotta get that flashlight back." Dipper said and looked down at the carpet.
He then got an idea, he looked at Gideon's hairbrush, and went to it.
Mabel and Lana were sitting on Cheekums with Mabel saying, "Cheekums, to freedom! To Freedom!" She said and patted him on the head. "You're just a big old dummy-dumb."
Lana scratched Cheekums ear and said," I can train him like Geo. But it'll take a while."
Lola had a disgusted look and said," If you think I'm riding on that fur ball you got another thing coming."
"Actually I have a better idea. Do you think you guys can help?" Dipper said, as he tied Gideon's hair into a makeshift rope.
"Ok, I don't know if this either better or worse." Lola grumbled.
She and the others were sliding down the rope made of Gideon's hair. After that, they made it downstairs, and hid in the living room, where Gideon and his dad were eating ice cream, while his mom vacuumed. The spotted the flashlight on the table.
"Clean me!" Gideon said as he finished, and his dad wiped his face with a cloth. "Father, could you give widdle old me a ride to the Mystery Shack?"
"Oh, I'd love to, sugarpot, but I have a heck of lot of cars to sell, yes I do." Gideon's dad said and started to tickle Gideon.
Gideon laughed and then got mad, and threw an ice cream carton across the room.
"NEVER tickle me! What have I told you?" Gideon asked.
"Ticklin' is no laughing matter." His dad said sheepishly. "You still need a ride to the Shack?"
"I'll just take the BUS!" Gideon said, and stormed out of house.
While knocking over a table, and kicking the door open.
"Jeez, what a spoiled brat." Lola said.
She then raised an eyebrow when the other three gave her looks.
"What?"
"Never mind. Come on." Dipper said.
All four of them got out of the house through the dog door, and then found themselves in the parking lot, but they couldn't find Gideon.
"I think, we need to get higher." Lola thought.
"Especially you and Dipper, cause your short." Mabel said with a laugh, and high-fived Lana.
"Not the time Mabel, but I got another idea." Lucas said, and he pointed at balloon that was shaped like a dollar sign.
They climbed onto the balloon, and looked around. They found Gideon at the Bus Stop, talking to Lazy Suzan. The bus soon came and Gideon got on, and it then left.
"We gotta get there before he shrinks Stan and the others! We gotta get there before he does!" Dipper said.
"Oh flying discount dollar, if only you could fly us back to the shack." Mabel said.
Lana snapped her fingers and said," I got an idea."
She took out her pocket knife, and cut the rope. The wind then made it move, and they were on their way to the shack.
"Even though my hair is going to be a mess. This is a nice view." Lola said.
They had to make a few direction changes, but they soon had the Shack in their sights. And they soon landed on the roof the shack, where the front door was.
"Hey, Lincoln and Luan are outside. Guys!" Lana yelled.
Lincoln and Luan looked around, and then looked up. Lincoln blinked, and squinted his eyes.
"Wait, guys, is that you?"
"It's us, you'll have to catch us." Dipper said.
Lincoln caught Lola and Mabel, while Luan caught Dipper and Lana.
"What the heck happened to you guys? Why are you so tiny?"
"Yeah, Luke, your nickname should be 'Little Dipper'. Ha!" Luan laughed, along with the others.
Dipper blushed with an annoyed face and said," Yeah, not funny. But we need to get inside and get the others. It involves Gideon."
The both of them nodded, and walked inside. Audible laughter could be heard for a minute. But after another minute, Gideon had just gotten off of the bus, and walked up the Shack.
Gideon chuckled, and then kicked the door open and yelled," The Shack is mine, Stanford Pines!"
He would've used the flashlight, but it was soon swiped out of his hand. He blinked, and then looked up, and started to sweat in fear.
The rest of the Loud siblings stood in front of him, with pissed off looks. Lynn tapped the bat she gotten from the Gift Shop menacingly, Luna cracked a knuckle, Lori had her arms crossed. Lisa held a beaker with an unknown substance, Lucy held her spell book, and Luan held her Rubber Chicken. Leni had a small can of Pepper Spray, and Lincoln was holding the flashlight.
The shrunk Loud's, who were on the shoulders of Luna and Lincoln, had smug looks.
Gideon laughed nervously and said," Well… it's nice to see y'all. I'll take my widdle self out."
Gideon than ran as fast as he could out of the shack, and the others saw him run back to the bus, and then left with it.
"And that's checkmate." Dipper said and high-fived Mabel.
"Yeah, now to destroy this thing." Lincoln said.
"No wait!"
Lincoln smashed it on the ground, and the crystal shattered. He then realized what he did.
"Oops, sorry."
"Ok, even I knew that was dumb." Leni said.
Later, after getting another crystal, everyone was in the living room with a now fully sized Dipper, Mabel, Lana and Lola. And they were sitting on the couch, while the others stood in front of them. Lori was the one giving them the riot act after they explained what had happened.
"So, you two literally went to get a magic crystal to make you grow, just because of your height? And you two kept on making fun of them due to their height? And the measurement doesn't have much significance. You literally better have a good explanation for all of this. Or so help me I would make your lives miserable for the rest of the summer." Lori said with a glare.
"Technically speaking, all measurements do have significance. It would normally be a matter of life or death." Lisa pointed out.
Everyone gave her a look, and she stopped talking.
Mabel sighed and took out a notepad and handed it to Dipper. He looked at it and realized it was his tally marker for all the wins he had gotten.
"I guess it's that, you're like better than me at like everything, and you always rub it in my face. I know you all don't do that. But it's mainly with Dipper." Mabel said.
Lana looked at Lola and said," Same thing. I mean, you do loads of stuff that qualifies you as a winner. I guess when Leia and I find out about the height and the possibility of being the alpha, we thought we were winning at something."
"So, we've been acting like jerks then." Dipper said.
Lori then took that as her cue and said," You four do realize something right?"
"What?"
Lori looked at Lincoln and he said," This is exactly how I felt when I was trying to get a trophy. I mean you guys have your talents; I'm still trying to find mine. I mean the only embarrassment you got was getting shrunk. Which is better than making yourself look humiliating. But you should be proud of your accomplishments and not others."
Dipper grinned and said," Your right, Linc. Man, can't believe we almost lost the Shack due to all of this."
"Yeah, I mean, I know Grunkle Stan and Gideon are rivals. But what's so special about this place." Lola said.
"Wait dudes, but overall. Have you all made up?"
Dipper looked at Mabel and said," We're cool?"
"We're cool." Leia said.
Lana looked at Lola and said," Are we the same."
Lola nodded and said," Same."
All of them shook hands, while the others nodded in approval.
"I wonder why that little twerp wants revenge on Stan so much, and also wants the building. Nothing special about." Lynn said.
Lucas shrugged and said," That's another mystery that has yet to be solved."
Mabel grinned at everyone and said," And who's gonna solve it?"
Everyone rolled their eyes, knowing where that was going, except for Leni.
"Who is?"
"They Mystery Crew!" Mabel said.
She jumped onto the couch and did a stance, and everyone laughed at her antics.
