Dipper and i are sitting in the living room watching T.V.
TV Voice "You asked for it, you got it! An entire 48-hour marathon of Ghost Harassers on the 'Used to Be About History Channel!' "
Dipper Pines "Be strong, bladder. *Pats stomach.* We're not gonna move till sunset."
Toby Determined On TV: "We interrupt this program to bring you breaking news!"
Dipper "Aww, what?"
Mabel Pines Jumps into armchair beside Dipper. "It's starting!"
Candy Chiu Jumps to my side "Turn it up!"
Grenda"Make room for Grenda!" Jumps in front of all of us, breaking a lamp.
Cut to Toby Determined outside Northwest Manor.
Toby "Well tonight's the night, but I've been out here for days!" Zoom out to reveal tattered and filthy Toby.
" The Northwest family's annual high-society-shindig-ball-soiree is here! And even though common folk aren't let in, that doesn't stop us from camping out for a peek at the fanciness!"
Girls "Oooooooooh!"
Dipper "Okay, can someone please explain why people care about this?"
I shrug
Grenda "It's pretty much the best party of all time. Rich food, richer boys!"
Mabel "They say each gift basket has a live quail inside!"
Candy Paws at TV screen "Give me your life, Pacifica."
Dipper Scoffs "Guys, in case you've already forgotten, Pacifica Northwest is the worst."
Knock at door; Dipper gets up to answer it. "And that's not just jealousy talking. I'd say that to her face."
I snicker
Opens door, sees Pacifica.
Pacifica "I need your help."
Dipper "You're the worst." Slams door.
I sigh and get up to answer instead
Girls Gasp
Dipper "See?" Knock at door; i opens it reluctantly.
Pacifica "Look. You think it's easy for me to come here? I don't want to be seen in this hovel. But there's something haunting Northwest Manor. *Takes off sunglasses.* If you two don't help me, the party could be ruined!"
Dipper "And why should we
trust you? All you've ever done is try to humiliate me and Mabel."
"Don't be so rude" i scowled
Pacifica "Just name your price, okay? I'll give you anything!"
Mabel "Hi, Pacifica! Excuse us!"
Drags Dipper and i away by the arm. "Guys! Don't you see what this means? If you help Pacifica, you could get us invites to the greatest party of all time!"
Dipper "What? Mabel, this is Pacifica we're talking about!"
"Well-"
Mabel "But it's Candy and Grenda's dream!"
Candy & Grenda Starry-eyed, miming rainbows. "Dreeeaaaaaaam."
Dipper "Ugh. Fine! We'll bust your ghost. But, in exchange, we'll need three tickets to the party."
Pacifica " Hrrn! You're just lucky I'm desperate."
Mabel, Candy, & Grenda "Wooo!"
Chanting: "Des-perate! Des-perate! Des-perate!"
Mabel "Grenda, get the glue gun. We're making dresses!"
Cut to exterior shot of Northwest Manor.
A limo drives through the crowds as a butler pulls a lever to open the main gates and let it through. Two servants open the doors to the house, letting in Dipper, Mabel, Pacifica, Candy, Grenda and i
Pacifica "Welcome to Northwest Manor, dorks. Try not to touch anything."
Girls Misc. exclamations of wonder
Mabel "Everything's so fancy!
"Fancy floors, fancy plants-- *Gasps.* fancy man!" Rubs butler's face.
Butler "Mm, yes. Very good miss."
Candy "The rumors were true!"
Holds up gift bag, live quail pops out, followed by three quail chicks.
Girls Run off giggling.
Preston "Ah, if it isn't the man of the hour! Hopefully you can help us with our little... situation, before the guests arrive in an hour."
Dipper "we'll do our best."
I nod behind him while fidgeting with my dress
Is black for the top fading into a violet purple
A small slit on the bottom for easier movement
A purple gem with a gold rim attached to the dress in the middle of my chest
A gold waistband wrapped around me
And three small pink flowers on the bottom of the dress
I stop as i don't want to ruin it so just fidget with the long ass black gloves that do indeed have fingers
Preston" Splendid! Pacifica, take our guest to the 'problem room,' and, uh... he's not wearing that, is he?"
Camera zooms away revealing Dipper cleaning his teeth with his finger and with his shirt partially in his pants.
Pacifica "I'm on it."
Cut to Dipper emerging from a dressing room in a tuxedo.
Dipper "Ugh, it's like this collar is strangling me. Who do you guys think you're impressing with this stuff?"
Pacifica "Um, everyone." She says while i Tie Dipper's bow tie. "You wouldn't understand. High standards are what make the Northwest family great."
Dipper "Funny, I thought it was lying about founding the town."
Fiddles with a picture frame's tassel..
Pacifica : "Don't touch that!".
Cut to Dipper opening a creaky door.
Dipper "Whoa."
Establishing shots of the room, with dead stuffed animal heads on the walls, paintings, a fireplace, and lots of dark wooden furniture. The whole room is lit by the fireplace and gives it a dark reddish light.
Pacifica "This is the main room where it's been happening."
Dipper " Yep, this looks like the kind of room that would be haunted, all right. I wouldn't worry about it, though. *holds up the journal* Ghosts fall on a ten-category scale. Floating plates sound like a Category 1."
"It could only be starting though so please be careful.."
Pacifica "So what? Are you gonna bore him back into the afterlife by reading from this book?"
Dipper " Just gotta splash this sucker with some anointed water *Holds up small, round bottle of water*, and he should be out of your probably-fake blonde hair."
I sigh at his sass
Pacifica " What was that about my hair?"
Dipper Takes out EMF detector "Shh! I'm picking something up."
Dipper walks further into the room, stopping before a tall painting of a lumberjack over the fireplace. The device loses its signal for a moment.
Dipper "C'mon, stupid thing. *Taps device, and the signal returns* There we go."
"Ah, dip..?"
Dipper looks back at the painting, and the lumberjack inside has disappeared.
Dipper "Uh, Lui, Pacifica?"
Pacifica "Aah!" Screams as blood dripping from above, gasps, looks up
Blood swells from the mouths of the stuffed animal heads on the walls.
Dipper and Pacifica shout as the fire bursts out of the fireplace.
Animal Heads "ANCIENT SINS. ANCIENT SINS. ANCIENT SINS." Repetitive chanting
Books, furniture, and antique weapons fly around Dipper, me and Pacifica, and the chandelier above crackles dangerously.
Pacifica "guys, what is this?!"
Dipper "It's a Category 10."
"This isn't good."
I pull out a small holy water gun
And point but it shatters do to the ghost
My magic is dangerously low
The bottle of anointed water breaks, and Dipper and Pacifica scream.
Pacifica Screams; grabs Dipper and i
Deer Animal Head "ANCIENT BLOOD AND BLACKENED SKIES.
Animal Heads THE FOREST DARK SHALL ONCE MORE RISE."
Pacifica Shakes me and Dipper by the collar "What do we do, what do we do?!"
Dipper "Don't worry. It can't get worse than this!"
The fire flames up again, and me, Dipper and Pacifica hide under a table while a giant black skeleton emerges from the fire.
A body forms around the skeleton of an enormous lumberjack with a beard made of fire and an ax in his head.
I summon a small dagger of magic
It should be capable of piercing him even if it's just a lil
But my magic is almost depleted and the rest is surpresed
If i finish my magic i will die
After all it's hard to collect the stardust in the surroundings to convert into magic when the world isn't made to be like that
Ghost of Northwest Manor "I smell... A NORTHWEST!" Ax materializes in his hand, begins dragging ax along the floor
" Come out, come out, wherever you are!"
Pacifica " Hurry! Read through your dumb book already!"
Dipper Whispering: "I'm looking! And it's not dumb, okay? This book is gonna save our lives! Alright, here we go. Advice: *Holds portable black light over book, which reads "PRAY FOR MERCY!"* Aww, seriously?!"
The table floats out from over them, revealing them to the ghost. They scream.
Ghost "YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE COME HERE!" Slices at them with the ax, we dodge
Pacifica "This way! Hurry!"
Me, Dipper and Pacifica flee down the hall, pursued by the ghost.
Pacifica leading Dipper and i down a decorated hallway, pursued by the laughing ghost.
Overhead shot of a courtyard.
Pacifica "Hurry! Through the garden! Watch out for peacocks!"
Dipper, head in journal, hits a peacock as they go.
Me, Dipper and Pacifica muddy their shoes on the garden path as they run.
Dipper "Come on, come on-- *Flips through journal desperately* I got it! Haunted paintings can only be trapped in a silver mirror. *Points ahead of them* Look! There's a silver mirror right there!"
Me, Dipper and Pacifica run towards a pristine white room, where a large, rectangular mirror hangs on the rear wall.
Pacifica grabs his arm, stopping him before he can enter.
Pacifica "Wait! Don't go in there! This room has my parents' favorite carpet pattern! They'll lose it if we track mud in there!"
Dipper "What? Are you serious?!" Tries to force his way into the room, but Pacifica holds him back
Pacifica "We'll find another way!"
Ghost From a distance "Come out!" Laughs
Dipper " Pacifica, we don't have time for this! Let me through!"
Pacifica "No, my parents will kill me!"
I purse my lips annoyed
Dipper "Why are you so afraid of your parents?!"
Pacifica "You wouldn't understand!"
Pacifica tugs on Dipper's journal, tripping them both and causing them to fall through a painting of a skeleton in a crown and robe into a dark, dusty, cobwebbed room.
I huff and jump in
The ghost flies past in the opposite direction.
Dipper "Ahh... What is this place?"
Pacifica "That's weird. I don't even know where this room is."
Dipper " Hopefully the ghost doesn't either."
Pacifica " Yeah, maybe we're safe." A sheet behind her seems to come alive, reaching out to swallow her
Dipper " Pacifica, watch out!"
Pacifica "Aaaaah!"
Ghost "YOUR FATE IS SEALED!"
Pursues Pacifica, knocking over a box of silver dishes, utensils and other objects
I throw my knife and it hits him making him slow down but he continues after her ignoring the knife
Dipper "A silver mirror!"
Pacifica Runs, tripping over a loose floorboard "Ow!"
I run to her
Ghost "PREPARE TO DIE, NORTHWEST!" Raises ax and charges Pacifica
Dipper and i dash in front of Pacifica, dipper holding the silver mirror.
Me, Dipper and Pacifica are knocked out of a first floor window, become entangled in a window drape and fall down a short hill.
Pacifica "Did you get him?" They look at the mirror, still held by Dipper
Ghost From inside the mirror: 'NO! FREE ME!" Pounds on mirror's interior
I grin happily
Dipper & Pacifica "Haha! Yes!"
Pacifica "We did it!" Hugs Dipper and i.
Eyes widen when she realizes what she's doing, and then she backs off awkwardly. She clears her throat and holds out two dollar, avoiding eye-contact with us
"Can I pay you to pretend that never happened?"
Cut to Northwest Manor garden, where Preston and Priscilla Northwest are meeting me and Dipper, while Pacifica and a waiter stand nearby.
Preston "Well, Pacifica, you really found the right man for the job." Snaps fingers, butler shakes Dipper's hand
Priscilla "We can't thank you enough." Pauses
" That's enough. " Butler stops shaking Dipper's hand
Dipper "Hey, just holding up our end of the deal." We Turn to leave
Pacifica " Wait, leaving already? You're at the world's best party, dummy's "
Dipper "Heh, I'd love to stay, but we've got a Category 10 ghost to dispose of." Walks into a garden pillar
"Aah! Heh heh... Category 10."
Both laugh as Dipper and i leave
Cut to outer garden as Dipper walks away.
I chuckle and skip out as i swing my and dippers hand as i hold it
He's blushing a lot but it fades a bit as he opens his mouth to speak
Dipper "Call me crazy, but, maybe she's not that bad after all."
"She's pretty nice compared to before!"
Ghost Laughs from mirror
Dipper "What are you laughing about, man? We defeated you."
Ghost "You've been had, boy. You remind me of me a hundred and fifty years ago."
Dipper "What do you mean?"
Ghost Flashback montage; Voiceover: "One hundred and fifty years ago this day, the Northwests asked us lumber-folk to build them a mansion atop the hill. We were told t'would be a service to the town, that once a year they would throw a grand party, and all would share in the bounty. It took years of backbreaking labor and sacrifice, but when it was time for the grand party they promised the common folk of the town, they refused to let us in."
Flashback Lumberjack As he pounds on mansion gate "YOU PROMISED, NORTHWEST!"
Ghost (Voiceover:) "With the trees gone, the mudslides began. While they partied and laughed, I was swept away by the storm!"
a swept-up ax embeds itself in the lumberjack's head
" And so I said with final breath, 'One-fifty years I'll return from death, and if the gate's still closed to town, wealthy blood will stain the ground!' A curse passed down until this day."
Shot of Northwest ancestor writing down curse and holding it in hand, then transitions to Preston, curse warning in hand, nodding to Pacifica
Dipper "So, wait a minute. The Northwests knew this haunting was coming, and they tricked us into helping them to avoid ghostly justice? ... I'll be right back."
I purse my lips unsure of what to say to calm the boy down
He simply pulls me with him as we walk back to the mansion
Cut to manor interior.
Preston "Thank you so much for coming, Mayor. As a sign of our respect, please take this chimp servant. Keep him away from bright lights, he gets... grabby."
Dipper "Northwests!" Mansion main door opens, revealing Dipper pointing at Preston accusingly and I'm simply holding his other hand while looking away
" You've got some explaining to do!"
Pacifica Dashes in from another room "Dipper, you came back!"
Dipper Points at Pacifica "You lied to us! All of you did! All you had to do was let the townsfolk into the party and you could've broken the curse! But you made us do your dirty work instead!"
Preston Leans down threateningly; Dipper glares at him, unfazed "Look at who you're talking to, boy. I'm hosting a party for the most powerful people in the world. You think they'd come here if they had to rub elbows with your kind?"
Dipper "our kind?" Looks at Pacifica "I was right about you all along. You're just as bad as your parents. Another link in the world's worst chain!"
"Dipper...!"i whisper with a hushed voice but i only get a huff as a response
Pacifica " I'm sorry, they made me! I should've told you, but--" Preston rings the bell. Blushing in embarrassment, Pacifica steps back
Preston "Enjoy the party! It's the last time you and your kind will ever come" Dipper glares and marches away, chimp servant offers him a tray "No no! Those aren't for him."
Cut to mansion exterior, where Dipper is about to exorcise the ghost and i simply sit behind while humming softly
Dipper "Stupid Northwests, making me do their exorcism for them. 'Exodus demonus, spookus scarus, aintafraidus noghostus--' "
Ghost From mirror: "Dipper, Dipper! Please let me get my vengeance on the Northwests! You hate them as much as I."
Dipper "Hey, I feel you. It's just, my sister's in there, and you seem a little unstable, man."
Ghost "Very well, boy. Then... before you banish my soul, may these tired lumber eyes gaze upon the trees one final time?"
I blink in realization
Dipper "Uh... I guess. *Holds mirror up to the forest* Go nuts, man."
"Dipper no!"i shout as i go to take it from his hands but it was to late
The ghost cackles madly and the mirror becomes red-hot.
Dipper drops it as it burns his hand, and it shatters on the ground, releasing the ghost back to the mansion.
Dipper "Aah!"
Ghost " Yes! VENGEANCE!"
Dipper "Oh no! Mabel!"
"Shit!"
Cut to manor interior, main ballroom.
The front doors fly open with a flash of lightning and thunder, revealing Dipper and i, soaking from the rain, dipper is agape in shock at what he sees. One of the guests reaches out towards him.
Terrified Guest "Please, help me!" Freezes, wooden
Dipper Jumps back "Whoa, that is messed up!"
I get infront of him with my arms stretched out in a protective Pose
I let a low growl while sweating nervously as my magic hasn't been replenished
Ghost Laughs "JUST ONE WAY TO CHANGE YOUR FATES: A NORTHWEST MUST OPEN THE PARTY GATES!"
Dipper "A Northwest?"
We sees a flickering light "...Pacifica!"
Cut to hallway with secret room.
Dipper and i Running to Pacifica "Pacifica! There you are! The ghost is turning everyone to wood, and he just started rhyming, for some reason?"
He Tugs Pacifica's hand "I need your help!"i say
Pacifica pulls her hand away
" Pacifica?"we say
Pacifica "You wanna know why this room was locked up? This is what I found in here. A painted record of every horrible thing that my family's ever done."
" Lying, cheating, and then there's me. I lied to you just because I'm too scared to talk back to my stupid parents!"
She Takes off diamond earrings and throws them at a painting of Preston and Priscilla Northwest
" You were right about me. I am just another link in the world's worst chain."
Dipper Sighs "Pacifica, I'm sorry about what I said earlier. But just because you're your parents' daughter doesn't mean you have to be like them. It's not too late."
Ghost "IT'S TOO LATE!"
Dipper "Oh no!" We run into the main hall
Ghost "You are all wood!"
Dipper & Pacifica Scream
I shiver
Shot of Candy, Mabel, and Grenda as angry, arguing, wooden statues. Dipper looks determined and starts to run towards the ghost.
I get worried and run after him
Pacifica " Dipper, wait!"
Dipper Picks up a silver platter "Alright ghost, prepare to get--"
Energy beam knocks the journal out of Dipper's hand, and he drops the platter " ah! No, wait!" Ghost fires a burst that hits both of us as i barely manage to get to him
" No no no! No, someone help! SOMEONE HEEEELLLLP...! / Shit!"
Dipper freezes in a familiar form and i freeze disappointed
3rd pov
Pacifica gasps. A grandfather clock strikes midnight.
Ghost "A forest of death, a lesson learned. And now the Northwest Manor will BURN!"
Laughs as the manor sets fire, starting with a portrait of Preston, Priscilla, and a young Pacifica
Pacifica " Hey, ugly! Over here! You want me to let in the townsfolk? 'Cause I'll do it! Just change everyone back!"
Ghost " YOU WISH TO PROVE YOURSELF? PULL THAT LEVER AND OPEN THE GRAND GATE TO THE TOWN! FULFILL YOUR ANCESTORS' PROMISE!"
Preston Coming out of an underground hatch with Priscilla Northwest and a butler
" Pacifica Elise Northwest, stop this instant! We can't let the town see us like this! We have a reputation to uphold! Now come into the panic room. There's enough mini-sandwiches and oxygen to last you, me, and a butler a full week. *Whispers:* We'll eat the butler!"
Pacifica looks at Dipper's and my wooden statue, and reaches for the lever.
Preston "You dare to disobey us?" Rings bell; Pacifica nervously reaches for the lever as he continues to ring it.
" Dingally dingally! Is this bell broken?!"
Pacifica Stomps foot, determined. "Our family name is broken! And I'm gonna fix it!"
Pulls the lever.
Ghost Gasps.
Outside, the main gate swings open, admitting the citizens of Gravity Falls.
Tyler "Git it! Git it!"
Ghost "YES, YES, IT'S HAPPENING! MY HEART, ONCE HARD AS OAK, now grows soft like more of a... birch, or something."
The guests and manor itself fade back from the wooden forms.
Dipper Inhales sharply
I huff happily
BACK TO NORMAL POV
Ghost "Pacifica, you are not like the other Northwests. I feel... lumber justice." Fades to nothing, the ax in his head falling to the floor and sinking into the ground
There is a rumbling noise, and the doors of the manor burst open as the people of Gravity Falls enter the party.
Manly Dan "Aw, yes! Yeah!"
Jumps into cider fountain
Preston "Good lord, the riffraff! They're everywhere!" Tyler giggles, picking up a fork and placing it down again "That's not how the fork should be placed!"
Mabel "Oh, man, what happened?"
Grenda "Ahem!"
Candy "Grenda! We are so sorry."
Mabel "We shouldn't have left you behind."
Grenda "It's okay. Maybe I do need to work on my flirting. Come on, let's go dunk our heads in some cheese and chocolate. Friends?"
Mabel & Candy "Friends!" Group hug.
Marius "Wait! Don't go! Grenda, was it? I must speak with you. There is something about you, I can't get you out of my head. You're so bold and confident. I know you are probably out of my league, but, might I give you mein phone number?"
Grenda "I don't have a phone! Write it on my face!"
Mabel "Whoa-ho-ho! Go Grenda!"
Candy "I guess we shouldn't have sold her short. I call bridesmaid!"
Mabel "What? I call co-bridesmaid!"
Dipper "Man, if your family hates you for this, they're idiots. This is great."
I chuckle "it's amazing!"i grin with stars in my eyes
Pacifica "Enjoy it while it lasts. Next year I'm sure they're just gonna lock everyone out again."
Dipper " Hey. Guess what we're standing on."
Pacifica gasps, seeing her parents' favorite white carpet pattern. Then she laughs, and she and Dipper have some fun knocking things onto the carpet.
I chuckle and shake my head and join in on the fun
Pacifica " Haha. But seriously, I'd better go and find someone to clean this up." Walks away.
McGucket "Woo! Scobbity-doo! Hornswaggle m' goat knees!"
Dipper "Whoa-ho-ho, what's up, McGucket? Hey--" McGucket grabs Dipper by the shoulders and they dash around a corner to speak in private.
I just sweat drop already knowing what's going on
I simply wait for a while until dipper comes back
He Walks to me, smiling
McGucket " But--!"
I grab dippers hand and pull him over to dance
Cut to credits. In a coat closet within the manor.
Agent Powers Disguised; in a fake accent: "Quick, in here, my darling!" Pulls disguised Agent Trigger into the room after him.
Agent Trrigger High pitched voice: "A moment alone at last!"
Powers "You can drop the act, Trigger." Both remove disguises.
" They're seeing activity on the machine. It's go time.".
Trigger "Roger that." Salutes.
Powers "Where's my phone?"
Trigger "I don't have it."
Powers "Yes you do, it was in your purse."
Trigger "Oh, so I'm just supposed to hold on to everything for you?"
Powers "I asked you when we were in the car!"
Trigger "Why do we always have to fight at parties?!"
Tambry Opens door; pauses "Not even gonna ask." Shuts door
____
I'm sorry i had to do the credits it was too gay not to.
