A/N Hey guys! I'm running out if pictures to use! I do not know who owns the picture above.

Episode 4: A Pig's Treasure

Mabel jogged, holding her plushie close so she couldn't drop it. She took a sharp right as her eyes found her objective. Dipper was shaking the hand of some strange man.

"Dipper!" She called, grabbing both of their attention. "Dipper, what are you doing?" She panted as she slowed to a walk.

Dipper turned around and his face fell once he caught sight of her. "M-Mabel.... Blendin, let's go!"He exclaimed, snatching a tape measure from his hands.

Mabel turned a little angry. "Dipper, what do you think you're doing?! Who is this?! Are you sure he won't hurt you?!"

Dipper smiled softly at Mabel. "I'm sorry, Mabel, but I have to do this. It'll be like our fight never happened."

The man that was with Dipper, Blendin, started to get aggravated. "What!? This wasn't in our agreement!" He exclaimed with a voice that tended to break.

Mabel lurched forward to stop Dipper. Once she did another hand touched the small of her back, although she was quite sure it wasn't Blendin.

A bright light exploded in the area as Dipper pulled the tape measure.

Gideon trailed Mabel to make sure nothing went wrong. If they had another fight he would interject and promise to leave Mabel alone, even though he didn't want to.

"What!? This wasn't in our agreement!" A squeaky voice exclaimed as he neared the clearing he saw Mabel head into. The owner of said voice was a bald man wearing goggles and a gray jumpsuit.

He noticed Mabel lurch forward and his heart lurched with her when he realized what Dipper was holding. Gideon zoomed to touch Mabel's back and make sure he got sent with her.

A bright light flashed as Dipper pulled the tape.

Gideon groaned as he sat up and rubbed his head. Looking around, he realized that they weren't in Gravity Falls anymore.

"Where are we...?" He asked, his mind a bit muddled. Mabel groaned as she twisted under him. Gideon blushed as he jumped off of her.

Mabel was still unconscious, whereas her brother was waking up. "Mabel? Blendin?" Dipper looked around at his surroundings as realization dawned upon his features.

"Mabel!" He hissed, "Wake up! We've gotta get outta here!" Gideon tilted his head in confusion, wondering what it was that had Dipper so shaken up.

Mabel moaned as her eyes fluttered open. Her brown orbs widened once she saw Gideon. Bolting up, Mabel asked, "Gideon! Where'd you come from? Wait, better yet, why are we in Piedmont?"

Dipper sighed. "I kind of, accidentally, maybe sent us back a few more years than I meant to."

Mabel's eyes widened once more. "Wait, back a few years?! Dipper, you're speaking insanity! Are you saying that we traveled back in time?!"

Before Dipper could say anything Gideon intervened. "Yes. That's exactly what he's saying."

Gideon took in the scenery more now that everyone was awake, although it doesn't seem as though that guy in the jumpsuit followed them. They were on the sidewalk of a neighborhood that looked very monochrome, all the houses the same structure and the same greys.

He wondered how they could've lived in such a dull place for such a long time. But then again, it seemed to be far more safer than Gravity Falls.

Mabel stared at the nearest house in shock as two six-year-olds came out the door. They were twins, that much was obvious since they shared the same brown hair and chestnut eyes. The boy was carrying a wooden sword and the girl was carrying a book.

Although their expressions varied. The girl looked bored while the boy was happily swinging his sword around.

"Mabel, watch out! The pirates from your book are gonna steal our treasure." The little boy exclaimed.

Gideon's eyes widened in shock once he realized who they were. Risking a glance at the older Dipper and Mabel he saw that they, too, were shocked.

Little Dipper climbed up the tree that was in their front yard. Young Mabel stared at the odd group standing outside her house.

"Who are you?" She asked suddenly. Gideon tensed up but older Mabel just smiled sweetly and bent down so she was face to face with her younger self.

"I'm Maple Pinefield." 'Maple' extended her hand in a handshake.

Mabel heaved a sigh of relief, visibly glad that she was being taken seriously. "My name is Mabel Pines. It's nice to meet you Maple. Now what brings you to our humble abode?" Her expression turned suspicious. "What do you want from us?"

Obviously even when 'Maple' was young she had trust issues. Maple shook her head. "We're just tourists and wanted to check this place out without our parents. Although, now that I think about it, that probably wasn't the smartest idea. Well, this is my friend, Gideon Southeast, and my brother, Mason Pinefield."

'Mason' flinched as she said his new name, although Gideon hadn't a clue why. Gideon smiled when his last name was switched around. It was quite funny, actually, how she does things like that.

Mabel smiled genuinely. "I can tell we'll be good friends."
