491. Summerween Party Part I

"Wait, wait, wait! Please! I beg of you!" sobbed the woman, holding her two children. "Don't... Do this!" she sobbed.

DIO stood before her, menacingly.

Several zombies stood behind DIO, who licks his claws.

"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!?!?" she sobbed.

"I didn't turn a whole town into zombies... I wasn't doing this for kicks (for once)... I was simply doing this to reach Heaven with my partner, Bill Cipher... But I found a better path to go. Yet, for now, I will pretend to be his lackey."

She is only crying and sobbing, hugging her children. "I don't know what you're talking about!"

"And I will rule a greater and better world in peace... And stay on top... where I belong. A world over heaven. I was... resurrected by the Runes of Kof-Kol. And I shall not waste this opportunity to live again..."

DIO shows his fangs and bites her in the neck. Both children scream in horror.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"

"Eat your children," sneered DIO.

The zombie slowly turns to her former children.

"M-Mommy...?"

"No... No, please!"

*CRACK-K-K-K SPLAT!!!*

DIO sighs. "When this is all over... I'll once again achieve my ultimate form..."

"Ugh! She's probably just a gold digger..." said Pacifica, watching a TLC show known as Engaged for 80 Days that clearly isn't a blatant parody of our Earth's 90-Day Fiancee.

"No, no..." said Gabrielle. "You see, that girl is a Filipino."

"So!?"

"So, she's not a gold digger. Her family is! :D."

"That sounded weirdly personal."

"Well... Before, Mom set me up with this guy... Barry Pritchett. He was an Aglebemu. Oh, sorry... Folterseele."

"Oh! Frog Guy!" smiled Pacifica.

"Yeah... His family went bankrupt and I was forced to be with him. And there was this guy I really liked, but some popular bitch stole him from me."

"Too bad I was a popular kid... Can't relate."

"You never lost a guy in your life...?"

"Well... Actually... I almost did, haha... But that doesn't-..."

"Alright, guys!" yelled Dipper, walking with Stanley and his kids. "Grunkle Stan, please make sure that these guys would stay safe, alright?"

"Yeah, alright," said Stanley.

"Let's go, Grunkle Stan!" smiled Sunny, wearing a lamb costume.

"Uh... This costume's itchy..." said Windy.

"(I know...)" Dipper whispered into her ear and proceeds to kiss her forehead. He kisses Sunny's forehead, too. "Bye, kids! *sigh...* Hopefully, they'll catch up to Mabel Jr. and Chris.Hey. What are you guys doing...?"

"Watching dumb TLC content," said Gabrielle. "Jk. It's actually pretty good."

"Aren't those meticulously scripted?" asked Dipper.

"Doesn't make it worse, HAHA!!!" smiled Pacifica, as she high-fived Gabrielle.

Dipper sips some tea. "*sigh...* I wonder what the others are doing..."

Meanwhile...

Luz (wearing an Asura costume), Amity (also wearing an Asura costume), Anne (wearing normal clothes), Sprig (wearing his Frog Man costume), and King (wearing a Godzilla costume) all walk around the streets carrying Jack-O Lanterns.

"Why are we trick-or-treating, Luz...?" asked Amity. "You said that this was a kid thing..."

"Well, that's the thing, Sweet Potato! It may be for kids, but that doesn't change the fact that I LOVE DOING IT!!! And I heard that Gravity Falls does it twice a year. One on the actual Halloween and the second in summer!"

"This isn't even the actual Halloween!?" asked Amity.

"Yeah... the people here in Gravity Falls really love Halloween... And... As you can see! I am 23 years old and I am done with Halloween! I'm just ready to do adult stuff!" smiled Anne.

"Anne... I'm 20 years old and I'm wearing a Frog Man costume."

"Yeah! But you're Sprig! Anne Boonchuy is a well-known responsible adult back home!" smiled Anne. "Making her parents proud and helping other people! Like, for example, babysitting a bunch of young men and women in Summerween!"

"We don't need babysitting!" Amity yelled in the background.

"Didn't you have a fight with your Mom about whether you become a Doctor or a Herpetologist?" asked Sprig.

"Pfft!" laughed Anne. "Oh, Sprig! You simply don't understand the intricacies of Asian parenting!"

"Hey, Anne!" smiled Sasha.

"Oh. Hey, dude," smiled Anne.

"What are you doing out here...?"

"Helping Sprig babysit these guys." 

"We don't... Need... Babysitting!!!" yelled Amity in the background.

"We actually do!" yelled King. "The Humans' costumes are freaking me out!"

"So!" smiled Sasha. "Never mind then!"

"Whoa, whoa... Wait..." said Anne. "Did you want anything...? Or-...?"

"Oh! I wanted to ask you out!"

"Oh, sure dude!"

"On a date...?"

Anne's eyes widen and her eyes' pupils contract. "Uh... Haha! Hold on... What!?"

"Yeah! I wanna... go on a date!" smiled Sasha.

"Sash... We've been through... a lot... but we haven't talked in like... three years-!"

"Yeah! But... Please... Let's just... Try it out...? Pwwweeeease...?"

Hopediah and Polly hop toward the others.

"Hoppin' Hoppers! They're servin' beetle-leg ice cream over there!" smiled Hopediah.

"THIS ICE CREAM TASTES LIKE UNIVERSAL DESTRUCTIOOON!!!" smiled Polly.

"Where's Anne...?" asked Hopediah.

"On a date with Sasha... apparently..." said Luz.

"Well, isn't that awkward!" smiled Hopediah, licking his ice cream.

"What? Why...?" asked Luz.

"That's weird because Sasha tried to kill Anne ten years ago when they were kids," said Polly. "It was this massive battle between bitches. Then there was this whole thing where Sasha was hanging by a cliff while Anne held on to her and Sasha tried to kill herself to save us all..."

"After he tried TO KILL US!!!" yelled Sprig.

"Yeah...! But... Y'know... She's changed! She helped save us all with the rebellion!"

"Yeah... I guess..." said Sprig.

"Let's go continue with this trick-or-treating, I guess," said Luz, as the group walks away.

Meanwhile...

Miguel, Gabby, and Anne Zeppeli (the demon) walked out of the portal and into the fair.

"So...!" smiled Miguel. "I can see that you two are in the need of GREAT ENTERTAINMENT!!! So, as a good father and husband, I hereby present to you... THE GRAVITY FALLS SUMMERWEEN FAIR!!!"

"Yeah... I guess we could go for some food..." said Anne Zeppeli.

"Anne, Anne, Anne... We're here to have fun! Not just buy some food and eat!" smiled Miguel.

Gabby looks around. "Well... Let's get this over with."

"Okay!" smiled Miguel. "LET'S DO THIS THIIIING!!!"

However, Gabby sees Sasha grabbing Anne Boonchuy's hand and walk away.

Gabby squints her eyes. "What the hell...? Hey, Dad...?"

"Waddup...?" asked Miguel.

"Can I go...? Alone...?" asked Gabby.

"What!? Hell, nah!" yelled Miguel. "We are going to have fun... as a fa-..." Miguel turns around to see that Anne is talking to a couple of hot guys in a booth. "HEY!!! WHAT THE HELL, MAN!?!? THAT'S MY PARTNER!!!"

Gabby smirks and runs away.

Rick passes by, smiling as he sees Miguel. Morty, who is secretly following him, frowns and walks after him.

Meanwhile...

Dipper and Mabel walk around the fair.

"Too bad Pacifica wanted to stay with Gabrielle and Gideon wanted to... exercise, apparently...? Doesn't he have like... five chins...?"

"Hey! That's my husband you're talking about!" yelled Mabel.

The pair proceeds to laugh.

"Hey!" smiled Mabel, pointing to the booth. "Wanna play that game with the tennis ball and the bottles to win each other a prize? Whoever is given the prize by the other who won it is the loser!"

"Alright!" smiled Dipper.

The pair walk to a booth and are given tennis balls.

Dipper smiles. "And a one... And a two-!" Dipper tosses the tennis ball, which hits the pole and bounces from it to the roof, which bounces towards Mabel's eye. "WHOA!!!" Dipper successfully catches the tennis ball before it hits Mabel's eye.

"Oh... Thanks..." said Mabel. "HA!!!" She throws the tennis ball and successfully topples the bottles over and she is given a strange Blutbad Stuffed Animal that she gives to Dipper. "HA!!! Dipper's a loser! Loser! Loser!" She pokes his cheeks over and over again.

"Aw, man..." Dipper bows his head.

Mabel frowns. "S-Sorry... I got ahead of myself..."

"Nah, it's cool... You used to do this all the time when we were kids and I'm not surprised that you did it again."

Mabel is weirded out. "I... never did that to you."

"No... Yeah, you did! Remember our adventures in Gravity Falls? The time you made fun of my height and you guilt-tripped me to buying you Waddles...? And the time you didn't help me with Grunkle Ford's computer...?"

Mabel is absolutely confused. "What's a Waddles...?"

"Your pet... pig..." Dipper squints his eyes and backs away.

"What...!?"

"Mabel... Do you remember our summer...?"

"Uh... Yeah!"

"Do you remember the Journals...? The weird mystical adventures we had...?"

"Yeah! I do! Especially-!" Mabel is confused. "Oh... God..." she went teary-eyed. "Dipper... I-I-I-I don't... remember anything...! A-A-Am I-...? N-N-No! It can't be!"

"Mabel... I-I-It's okay! Maybe you just don't remember because of amnesia or dementia! Or... maybe-!"

"Dipper... Am I one of them...?" Mabel is about to cry.

"Mabel... It's okay...!"

Mabel turns around and runs away, crying.

"MABEL!!! WAIT!!!"

"Well, well!" smiled a Mickey-like voice. "Looks like somebody's down in the dumps!"

Dipper looks left and right, on high alert. "Who's there!?"

"Me! The true traitor!" he smiled.

"WHERE ARE YOU!?!?" asked Dipper, as the people around him begin to distort. "(What the hell...?)HEY!!! WHAT DID YOU MAKE MY SISTER DO!?!?"

"Oh, Dipshit... Don't you see!? You've just been my pawn this whole time! Who do you think cast the modified Runes of Kof-Kol in the first place?"

"You did...?" asked Dipper.

"Think again."

"Mabel!?"

"Maybe..."

"SHOW YOURSELF!!?"

Suddenly, Dipper's heart raced as he felt movements in the inner pocket of his trench coat. He slowly opens it and sees...

The Journal, with one google eye on its center, and hands and feet, stares back at him. "Boo!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh!!!"

Meanwhile...

"Thanks for coming. Glad you came when you called, Marcy!" smiled Sprig.

"Anything for old friends, Sprig!" smiled Marcy.

"So... how much candy do we have...?" Polly and Luz pull a giant sack of candy from the ground and toss it into a portal. "Enough for a while!"

Hopediah and King also pull a giant sack of candy.

"This, too, everybody!" smiled Hopediah.

Everyone laughs and high-fives each other, only for Sprig to high-five a random person's hand.

The hand was Rick's.

Rick looms in front of them.

"Oh... Hey, there... R-Rick..." smiled Sprig.

"Hey! I heard that you're... trick-or-treatin'...! Haha!"

The group backs away.

"Why are you here...?" asked Sprig. "Aren't you supposed to be quarantined?"

"Sasha let me out..." sneered Rick.

"What...!?" asked Sprig. "Why the heck would she do that...?"

"So, I can do this." Rick points a blaster at Sprig.

"NO!!!" yelled Marcy, tackling Sprig as they both go to the ground.

*PEW!!!*

The candy gets obliterated.

"NOOO!!!" yelled Hopediah. "THE SWEET SUCCULENT ORBS OF SUGAR-GOODNESS!!! ALL OF IT... GONE!!! WHY!? WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS, YOU MONSTER!?!?"

"I'm not a monster," sneered Rick. "More like a demon... or a fucked up god..."

"Rick..." said a voice behind them.

*pchoo!!!*

Rick sighs. "Morty... What the hell are you doing...?"

"Standing up to you..." said Morty.

"Morty, you idiot... Sprig is the traitor."

"What!? No, I'm not!!!" yelled Sprig.

Morty is confused and he lowers his blaster.

"I'm not!" yelled Sprig.

"Think about it! How did Sprig even be recruited into this team? He just randomly met the Crusaders and the Jazz Fusion in a bar that he was in after they were randomly attacked by Apephibians. I think that the Plantars over here are a group of phonies! What if they aren't the Plantars and that isn't the Earth we've been looking for!? What if they're working for whoever the hell is doing all this!?"

Morty slowly tries to point his blast at Sprig and the Plantars.

"Morty... Don't be stupid," Miguel prepares a death beam and points his finger at Rick. 

Anne is with him carrying a sword.

"Morty... Rick is obviously the traitor..." said Miguel.

"Hm! Maybe it's you... you've been awfully suspicious of all of us. Especially me," said Rick, pointing his blast at Miguel.

"Just you, Sanchez."

A sling could be heard being stretched.

"EVERYONE STAND DOWN!!!" Sprig takes out his slingshot.

Hopediah prepares a stance and Polly takes out a taser.

Marcy activates Charged State.

Luz and Amity prepare their Tao Mandalas.

"I don't think Miguel is the traitor," said Luz.

"Pfft! That's exactly what a traitor would say... Or maybe, a traitor's GIRLFRIEND!!!" yelled Sprig.

"How dare you accuse me and my girlfriend!" yelled Amity. "But it could be Miguel."

"What!?" Luz asked, angrily. "Amity... Miguel's been helping us this entire time."

"Yeah... But why...?" asked King, turning to Miguel.

"Oh, come on! I don't even work here!" yelled Miguel.

"Define, 'I don't work here...' Because you did.. You trained us!" yelled Amity.

"Oh, come on! That is absurd!" yelled Miguel.

"Luz... Miguel was possessed by Bill... remember...?" asked Amity. "How could that even happen while knowing how powerful he is...?"

Luz turns to Miguel with terror.

"Luz... Rick is tricking us."

"Is it!?" asked Luz, about to cry. "Is it!? I thought you actually cared...!"

"What the hell do you mean...!?" asked Miguel.

"I know that you used a spell to destroy an entire dimension!" yelled Luz, about to cry.

"What!?"

"THE SPELL!!! THE SPELL YOU USED IN THE MESSIANIC-RICK WARS TO EXTERMINATE THE MILLIONS OF RICK VARIANTS!!!"

Miguel's eyes widen.

"Where was this...?" asked King.

"Remember when we were in Miguel's memories...?" asked Luz.

Everyone turns their weapons to Miguel.

"No wonder you were suspicious with Rick..." said Luz, about to cry. "I thought that you were actually like me..."

"Luz... Listen. What you know is only the half-truth. I didn't genocide a bunch of Rick variants."

"LIAR!!!" yelled King.

"You're a survivor... aren't you...?" asked Marcy.

Rick nods.

"This is ridiculous!" yelled Anne. "Miguel would never do such a thing! Right...?"

"Anne...!?" asked Miguel, as Anne clenches her sword. "Rick is turning us against each other! Our Rick was never a participant in the Rick Wars!"

"HOW DO YOU KNOW!?!?" asked Anne.

"Because... Rick would never join any war related to the Citadel..." said Morty. "But I do know who did..." Morty points his gun at Rick. "Isn't that right, Weird Rick?"

Everyone turns to Rick in fear.

Rick smiles. "Clever Morty... The show should just be called Miguel and Morty, huh...?"

Suddenly, a third eye appears from Rick's forehead.

"AH HAHAHAHAHA!!! AH HAHAHAHAHA!!! AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" cackled Bill in the form of an eye, as the Weather Reporters stare in horror.

Meanwhile...

"I guess that this is nice..." said Anne, staring at the night sky. 

"Yeah! Isn't it...?" smiled Sasha.

"Yeah... Too bad that guy Bill is up to no good..." said Anne.

Sasha changes the subject. "Wanna kiss...?"

Anne is obviously weirded out. "Sasha... I told you... I'm not comfortable with this... And you're acting strange and out of character."

"I'm not...! I swear...! It's just that...! I... broke up with my girlfriend a few months ago... And I've... come to realize that... the way I do things to make my move is blunt and a bit manipulative. I have... no idea how to properly... DO THINGS!!! Ugh...! I just realized how cringy I am toward you. I don't even like you! It's like... one of those things where you just think you like someone because it's supposed to make sense! You're my best friend, right? Weren't we supposed to end up together...?"

"Well, yeah... But you're not my type and I'm not yours..."

"Exactly! So, I just decided to like you one day for some reason because I thought that... Maybe I could find love through that... Turns out... I can't."

Anne sighs. "You don't have to force yourself to like me. I'm just good with being alone!" smiled Anne.

"Doesn't that bother you...? I used to be the popular kid back then. Now, look at me! I'm a mess!"

"You're a therapist with a well-paying job and a Sergeant in a Supernatural Police Department."

"YEAH!!! AND I DON'T GET THE GIRLS OR GUYS ANYMORE...!!! I don't know... It's stupid. You won't get it..."

Anne sighs. "I actually have too many... important stuff to even think about a love life... Like... saving the world! And... helping people... Taking care of frogs...! Protecting the good people against the Supernatural!"

"But... Have you ever thought of taking a break from all that...? Like... when are you gonna settle and rest...? You're allowed to be happy, Anne Boonchuy. You really are..."

"I dunno... Romance really isn't my thing."

"Haven't you ever felt lonely...?"

"A lot of times, actually..."

"In high school, no one ever tried... approaching you or confessing their feelings for you. Don't you feel a little sorry for yourself...? NO OFFENSE!!! Just... Aren't you mad about that...?"

"No... But I think you are..." said Anne. "And I'm not offended, honestly. I had a boyfriend, once... But... he was kinda toxic... and I only dated him because my parents goated me to do it. I haven't really liked anyone."

"Why!?"

"I'm not asexual or aromantic... Just... not interested..."

Sasha squints her eyes. "What about Gabby?"

Anne turns red and her eyes widen. "Uh...! She's a... cool dude, I guess. She's a friend I hang out with every now and then... And text a lot... and play DDR with a lot... and go out with a lot..."

"Sounds like you really like her..." smiled Sasha.

"I don't! I don't! It's just that... Y'know... She's cute, she's funny, she does that adorable thing with her hair before she beats the living crap out of those Wesen Dogfighters... Oh my God... I'm attracted to her... UGH!!!" Anne lies down on the grass and covers her face with her arm. "I shouldn't... I have a lot of things to do..."

"Kinda sounds like you're torturing yourself... And I feel like this is all my fault..."

"Ew! Is that why you're tricking yourself into liking me!?" laughed Anne.

"Yeah... Probably..." chuckled Sasha. "I'm really sorry."

"It's cool... I'm too psychologically damaged to be in a relationship with anyone right now..."

"You have a lot of excuses up your sleeve, don't you...?"

The two silently stare at the stars. The grass is green and flowing in the wind. The trees' and bushes' leaves rustle. The crickets chirp. The owls hoot.

"Excellent..." Kenneth walks up to them. "You brought her to me..."

They are both startled by this.

Anne's eyes widen. "Wait... What!?"

Sasha stands up. "Who the hell are you!?"

Both stand up.

"Ah, yes... I wiped your memories..." said Kenneth.

"What!?" asked Anne, charging up.

"Trust no one, Boonchuy..." said Kenneth, taking out a scythe. "You're a danger to his plans."

"What are you talking about!?" asked Sasha, charging up.

"Oh my God, Sasha... You betrayed us!? WHY AM I SURPRISED!?!?"

"No..." said Sasha, in sadness. "Why would I-!?"

"Because you were desperate to find love..." said Kenneth. "The deal was that I wiped your memory... But instead, I made you fall in love with Anne and create plans to bring her to me right here..."

"That is... oddly and uselessly elaborate."

"Well, I needed to separate you so that I can kill-... SILENCE!!! I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, OKAY!!! I WAS BEING RUSHED BY MY PARTNER!!!"

"Bill...?"

"You still think I'm working for that triangle...? You truly are a fool... He will bring all Supernaturals TO TRUE... UNLIMITED POWER!!!"

Kenneth swings his scythe toward Anne's neck.

*CLANG!!!* 

Gabby blocks the blade with her Eldritch Gauntlet. "Oh no, you don't. RAUGH!!!"

Kenneth sneers as he swung his blade toward Gabby, who blocks all her attacks.

Meanwhile...

"WHO CAN YOU TRUST... DIPPER!!?"

Several people approach Dipper, who looks like he's going crazy.

"S-STAY BACK!!!" Dipper takes out his energy crossbow and points it at the people. "STAY AWAY!!! TRUST NO ONE!!! TRUST... NO ONE!!!"

"HEY!!!" 

Dipper is injected by some sort of serum into the neck as a six-fingered hand grabs the Journal with a glove, puts it in a resealable plastic bag, seals the bag, and pockets it. "G-Grunkle Ford...?"

"Dipper. We have to go," said Ford.

"What...!? The journal will-!"

"Take a toll on your mind. I know. But I sealed it in this resealable plastic back."

"Well..." Rick appears behind Ford.

Dipper takes out his energy crossbow.

"Dipper... calm down! It's okay! This is our Rick... I cloned him a new body to crawl into!"

"Wait... The Rick that had been with us the entire time-...!?"

"The Rick who was with us is our Rick but he was possessed by Weird Rick who had a deal with Bill to possess Rick's body as long as he'll do his bidding. Now, Weird Rick has Rick's old body, so I secretly took him out of his body while Weird Rick was asleep yesterday and placed him into this new body."

"Okay... sounds exposition-y enough..." said Dipper.

Rick laughs. "Look at this shit, Dip-Dip! I have portable portal guns!" Rick turns his arm into a portal gun.

"Where's your sister...!?" asked Ford. "AND YOUR FAMILY!?!?"

"What...!? Why!?" asked Dipper.

"We all have to shelter ourselves from the zombies!" yelled Ford.

"ZOMBIES!?!? WHAT ZOMBIES!!!?" asked Dipper.

"WRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!"

Several zombies begin trying to destroy the forcefield around the city that was used to stop Bill from invading the world.

"I modified the forcefield..." said Ford. "LET'S GO, DIPPER!!!"

"Wait!"

The trio makes a run for it to find the others.

"Mabel is the traitor...!" yelled Dipper. "And the journal... And Weird Rick! Who are the other two!?"

"Sasha..." said Ford. "And you..."

Dipper's eyes widen. "Wait... WHAT THE F-!?"
