//------------------------------// // 11) The Doubles // Story: The Power of the Gravity Falls // by Gfmlp //------------------------------// At the Mystery Shack they were getting ready to have a party, but Spike left the Mystery Shack to think of something and heard someone talking to him. "Spike, what's wrong with you?" Dipper asked. "Nothing's wrong with me," Spike said. "Then I can ask about your actions Spike, because I am completely sure that you did not accompany me to become more manly, mainly because they barely mentioned you when they talked about us not being manly, but in some strange way you decided to follow me to make you more manly", Dipper said. "Sometimes I want to get stronger, but when Stan mentioned that he wasn't very manly it affected me," Spike said. "So you feel responsible for not remembering Twilight and not trying to find her and that is why you want to become strong," said Dipper understanding why Spike acted like this. Spike sighed and nodded. "Dipper you don't know what I have felt for years, I have felt that I did not remember someone important in my life and that I loved a lot, also from what Twilight told me it coincides with the date she disappeared", said Spike very sad. "You're wrong Spike, many times I've felt the same way as you," said Dipper. Those words surprised Spike a lot. “I remember the first time I felt like this, it was shortly after my 5th birthday I was in the backyard of my house and suddenly I felt that someone very important had disappeared and I felt so sad that I was about to start crying for hours, but I didn't because I realized that there was someone in front of me who was very scared and crying, she was Twilight and I decided to ignore that feeling of depression and decided to help her, ”said Dipper. "I did not know that sometimes you felt the same. Does Twilight know this? ”Spike said. "I doubt that Twilight found out about this, because I always feel happy when I'm with her," Dipper said. "Dipper, you think that person is in Equestria," Spike said. "I don't know, but according to what the ponies that had just arrived said they haven't seen any humans in Equestria," Dipper said. "Don't you think you should tell that to others?" Spike asked "I don't want to preoccupy others with my problems," Dipper said. Spike realized that the reason he wasn't trying to tell anyone, that he had the same reason as Dipper for not telling others about the problems. The two of them decided to support each other whenever they felt this way. "Why don't we all enjoy the party tonight," Dipper said, trying to cheer him up. "If I wanted to chat with Ember at the party to find out more about my species," Spike said. "I'd like to help you, but I have no idea what you could tell him," Dipper said, then continued speaking. "But if I can help you I'll do it" The two decided to go back to the Mystery Shack to have a little distraction. ... Chrysalis listened to the whole conversation and after processing everything they said and came to the conclusion that humans could be very different from ponies, but they could also become very similar to ponies, a clear example is Dipper who many times has proven to be very different from ponies, but he has also shown that he has the same compassion as ponies. ... Meanwhile in Equestria, Princess Celestia was watching the videos that her student Twilight sent, she was surprised to learn of the race of the Manotaurs that looked a lot like the Minotaurs but much bigger and stronger, they also seem to be much more aggressive, too about the creature called Multi-bear, but what surprised him the most was seeing the princess of the dragon kingdom being in Gravity Falls, Princess Celestia after much thought decided to notify the dragon kingdom after finishing creating the portal to get to Gravity Falls, since it is very dangerous to go to the kingdom of dragons and even more with the information they had about Ember. Princess Celestia decided to look at the other videos to see if there was a clue that she did not realize before to bring them back to Equestria and while watching those videos she realized something that she had not noticed the first time, when Dipper used the spell to transforming him into a unicorn he showed that he had a lot of talent for magic, so much so that he was more surprised to remember that he had not been a unicorn for more than five minutes and that no one taught him to use magic before and he also doubted that Twilight could have taught him to Dipper in such a short time. ... Shortly after the conversation Dipper and Spike went to have fun at the Mystery Shack and help out at the party everyone was throwing. Twilight, Dipper, Spike and Pinkie were playing with Silly String Sprays, suddenly Wendy appears and joined them, suddenly Pinkie started throwing streamers, until Stan stopped them. "Stop wasting the party supplies, you don't know all the money you spend on it," Stan told everyone. "Not most gave Pinkie, to you when he found out knew you were having a party at the Mystery Shack," Twilight said. "Plus the few things you bought were the cheapest you could get," Dipper said. "No one asked them that," Stan said somewhat annoyed. "Mr. Pines, whose birthday is it again? ”Soos asked. “Nobody Soos, I just thought this was the best way for young people to spend money at the Mystery Shack,” Stan said. “The young people of this town want fun; I’ll smother ‘em with fun!" "Maybe because of comments like that, kids don't come to the Mystery Shack," Dipper said as he opened a drink to give to everyone present, but was interrupted by Stan. "Because they don't do something useful and they're going to make photocopies of the posters," Stan said. "Great, a trip to the copier store," Pinkie said happily, because she liked traveling to town, but not as much as throwing a party. “Calendars, mugs, t-shirts and more! They got it all at the copier store! That’s not their slogan, I just really feel that way about the copier store. ”Said Soos. “Save yourself that problem. Remember the old copier in my office? I finally managed to fix it! It's like new! ”Said Stan. Dipper, Twilight, Spike and Pinkie went to get the photocopies while Rarity helped with the decorations and Wendy, Soos, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and the Cutie Mark Crusaders helped with other party supplies. There was also Chrysalis in her human form watching and listening to everyone. Chrysalis decided to follow Dipper and Twilight to the copier because she didn't want to help set up the party. ... They arrived at Stan's office where the copier was, everyone seeing the copier that was all worn and dilapidated wondered if this machine worked except Pinkie. "Let's see if this works," Dipper said, setting his arm on the copier, photocopying an image of his arm by accident. "I can't believe this thing can work," Chrysalis said a little surprised. Spike happily takes the paper that had the image of Dipper's arm, but released it when the paper began to shake, everyone was surprised to see that the image of Dipper's arm came off the paper and began to move and Dipper threw the drink at him. that he had in the glass causing the arm to melt. "This copier can clone living things," Twilight said. Everyone present was surprised and decided to tell the others after the party. Chrysalis thought that this could be very useful and would try to use the copier it later, because everyone was hanging out in the Mystery Shack and then there would be a party, so she was not going to do it right away. ... Then everyone gathered where Stan was to hear where they had to help out at the party. "Pinkie, like you helped me organize and get most of the things for the party, also because the other ponies say that that brand of those three balloons you have is proof that you were good with parties, that's why you will take care of it to keep animate the party, ”Stan said. "Of course I will," Pinkie said. "Soos for insisting and saying that you are going to work for free for this you are going to work as a DJ," said Stan. “You won't regret I found a magazine that teaches you to be a good R-R-Right DJ!” Soos said showing a magazine. "What a cool magazine you have, Soos," said Pinkie. "That's not a good sign," Stan said looking at Pinkie and Soos, then continued speaking. "Twilight and Wendy are going to meet at the entrance to charge those who enter" "But I wanted to enjoy the party," Twilight said. "I'm sorry Twilight but I think it would be better for us if we weren't even close to here," Rarity said. "What do you mean by that?" Rainbow Dash asked. “I remember once when Applejack, Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom and I went to a party, they were all attentive to us, especially Sweetie Belle and I, those who had come to the party, the only thing they did was try to touch us and keep us surrounded and it was not for our horns because the same thing happened when we went to another party and we hid it, ”Rarity said with a sigh, then continued speaking. “It was worse when at another party that we were just passing through, Sweetie Belle and I just stayed outside the party place in the car, that was so bad because in the short time we were waiting no one entered the party because everyone was alone they surrounded us. " They all looked at Applejack, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle and all three nodded and sighed. "I totally forgot about that," Sweetie Belle said. “Me too, because I was so happy that Pinkie was able to throw a party at the Mystery Shack,” Apple Bloom said. "In other words, they don't have to stand out in order to be at a party, but I see it impossible because they stand out too much," said Dipper. "Unfortunately if we want Stan's party to work I think we shouldn't be at the party," Twilight said sadly. Everyone present felt sad why they couldn't enjoy the party especially Pinkie, because she would finally have a big party in Gravity Falls. "Don't worry about it Pinkie, you'll be fine because you'll be in charge of animating the party," Applejack said trying to cheer Pinkie up, which worked. "I have the solution, Twilight you can cast the spell to transform yourself into a human," Dipper said. "How did that not occur to me before !?" Twilight said, then continued speaking. “We would have to wear casual clothes that we got thanks to Rarity, as it only lasts 20 minutes, all of us transformed must be very attentive to the time, I think we would have to withdraw every time 18 minutes have passed and since I would have to do the spell very busy, although I think there is no problem with Pinkie if she keeps her pony form. " "In short I have to put someone else at the entrance so that all the ponies can participate in the party, Wendy and Spike ayou two are going to be at the entrance," said Stan. "It would be better if I replaced Spike at the entrance," said Dipper trying to help Spike to be at the party. "If that's what you want Dipper that's fine," Stan said. They all went to get ready for the party. ... Everyone was enjoying the party, Pinkie was the only one who still kept her pony form, she kept the party very lively thanks to her party skills and very few people were able to approach to talk to Pinkie, because she was moving very fast and not he stopped animating the party. The others were enjoying the party, suddenly Rarity approached Pinkie Pie. "Hi Pinkie, it looks like you're enjoying the party," Rarity said in her human form and Twilight had just used the spell on her again. "Of course I'm enjoying the party," Pinkie said. "I'm going to give you some advice, don't open that can of drink that you were holding for the last few minutes while you animating the party, unless you want to take a drink bath," said Rarity, referring to a drink can that wouldn't stop shaking. Pinkie stared at the can for a moment and decided to follow Rarity's advice, she put the can next to the others on the table and took another can off the table and opened it. "Pinkie, I wouldn't have left that can with the others," Rarity said. Before Pinkie could answer, the Cutie Mark Crusaders appeared and then two girls appeared, one was a girl with glasses and another was carrying an iguana on her shoulder. "Hi Pinkie, I was hoping a unicorn was at the party," said the girl with glasses. Pinkie was about to answer, but she was interrupted by Rarity. "Why do you want to see unicorns?" Rarity asked. "I want to lick his neck," said girl with glasses. "Why do you want to lick a unicorn Candy?" Pinkie asked. "They say that if you lick the neck of a unicorn you will have the taste of what you like the most in the world," said Candy. Rarity and Sweetie Belle upon hearing this were left wondering who the hell had invented that. "Because no one told me something so important before," Pinkie said. “It seems like everyone is enjoying the party, even Pacifica,” Sweetie Belle said trying to change the subject. Suddenly Soos stops the music and shows a crown. "We're going to have a contest, the person who gets the most applause at the end of the night will win this crown," said Soos. Almost everyone was happy to hear this, except Rarity and Sweetie Belle who seemed very concerned. ... Chrysalis only went to the party to be able to be in one place and taste different types of love and after trying most of the people who had come to the party and I came to the conclusion that the love of Dipper and Pacifica were the most they liked to try. When she heard what Soos said, Chrysalis wanted to participate, but she decided not to because she didn't want to stand out just yet. She saw Rarity and Sweetie Belle in their human form looking very concerned about what Soos said and decided to listen to what they were saying. "This is very bad," Sweetie Belle said. "If I had known this was going to happen, I would never have brought Pacifica," Rarity said. "What do you mean?" Asked the girl who had the iguana. "I also want to know Grenda," said Candy. Suddenly, Pacifica spoke to Soos telling him to give the crown to her, acting very arrogant and superior, giving a little fear, although he did not annoy or despise anyone. "Because no one told us there was going to be a contest," Sweetie Belle said, then she continued speaking. "And whose idea was it to do a contest at the party." "I was the one who came up with that idea," said Pinkie Pie. Rarity and Sweetie Belle sighed and suddenly Applejack and Fluttershy appeared. "Why is Pacifica acting so arrogant?" Applejack asked. "Normally Pacifica is a good person, she only acts like that when she is close to her parents or when there is a competition, especially of popularity like what is happening now at the party, Pacifica in popularity contests is willing to cheat to win, although normally she would hate to cheat to win, ”Rarity said with a sigh and then continued speaking. "Pacifica acts like that because of her parents, who taught her that winning is the only important thing." "If I'm a little scared how quickly Pacifica can change her personality," Sweetie Belle said. "I didn't know about Pacifica that she will act like this and I've lived in Gravity Falls for years," Applejack said. "Me neither," said Apple Bloom. "Obviously, there are very few contests in Gravity Falls and most of those contests are contests that Pacifica and I are not interested in," Rarity said. Everyone was looking at Pacifica and suddenly Apple Bloom realized something. "Where is Scootaloo?" Apple Bloom asked. "I saw Scootaloo running before we got to where all of you," Fluttershy said. "It seems that no one is going to participate except Pacifica, which means that she will soon act normal," Applejack said trying to calm Rarity. Rarity and Sweetie Belle calmed down a bit upon hearing this, but suddenly another contestant appeared. "I'm going to participate," said Rainbow Dash who had just appeared on stage. "Well I accepted the challenge," said Pacifica somewhat angry with Rainbow Dash. Everyone was surprised to see Rainbow Dash agreeing to compete against Pacifica. “Wait, where was Rainbow Dash all this time? That I don't listen to everything we talk about, ”Applejack said. "As soon as Soos said about the contest, I went looking for Rainbow Dash and I had a hard time finding her, but luckily I found her in time, before Soos gave the crown to the only participant," said Scootaloo who had just arrived, then he continued speaking. "Luckily I immediately decided to go looking for her, because Rainbow Dash was only attentive to eat and did not hear what Soos said on stage and upon hearing that there was a competition she decided to participate." "Scootaloo, have you noticed who the other contestant is," ask Sweetie Belle. Scootaloo was so excited that Rainbow Dash was going to participate, that she never noticed who the other participant was. When Scootaloo noticed who she was, she was shocked. "Is Pacifica? And why is she acting so arrogant?" Scootaloo asked. They all decided to tell Scootaloo everything that happened. "Then I'm going to support Rainbow Dash," Scootaloo said and then went to see how she could help Rainbow Dash in the contest. Everyone fell silent and Applejack was the first to speak. "I don't want to endorse anyone in this contest," Applejack said. Everyone else nodded and decided not to participate, Pinkie decided to continue animating the party. ... Meanwhile at the entrance to the Mystery Shack, Wendy realized you could hear that the party was getting more fun. "You can cover for me, because I want to get into the party," Wendy said. "I have no problem," said Dipper. Wendy was going to go inside to meet Robbie, but she suddenly came up with a question. "Why did you offer to be here, to replace Spike?" Wendy asked. "Because I don't enjoy parties as much as everyone else and also someone had to be here," said Dipper, then thought something and continued speaking. "Also because Spike wanted to talk to Ember" Wendy was surprised to hear this from Spike and she decided to go see what Spike was doing, forgetting that she wanted to see Robbie. When Wendy left, Dipper became more concerned about Spike, but people who wanted to get in the party kept coming. "I need to be in two places at the same time," Dipper said and after saying this he had an idea. ... Shortly before Dipper came up with that idea and also before Soos spoke of the contest, Twilight again used the spell on her friends to retain her human form. When Twilight was left alone, but she still retained her unicorn form, she had an idea. "I'm going to just make a clone of myself," Twilight said. Twilight went to Stan's office where the copier was and created a clone of it. “Great, this is amazing! But I think I have to explain to you why I decided to create you, ”Twilight said. "Do not worry about that. I know you want me to replace Dipper at the entrance, so he can go to the party, ”said the Twilight clone. "Amazing, that means you have all my memories and now I only have to worry about the time of the transformation spell," Twilight said and suddenly another idea occurred to her, at the same time as the clone of her. The two Twilights decided to make another clone for her to take care of to use that spell, after that the original Twilight decided to go back to the party. The two Twilight clones when they saw their original version go to the party, they began to doubt and the two decided to create two more clones to replace them and after using the copier they left, but the new ones decided to do the same and one moment before the last two copies made more clones, they heard that someone was coming to Stan's office and the two unicorns decided to teleport out of the room and then use the spell to take human form. ... Dipper was very close to Stan's office and heard voices, but when he opened it he didn't see anyone. "He asked me if this is a good idea," Dipper said as he used the copier. Dipper created a clone and named him Tyrone, Dipper was going to keep an eye on Spike because he was so worried about Spike and Tyrone was going to be at the entrance. Dipper immediately left Stan's office and suddenly he heard Twilight's voice and he couldn't understand what he was saying, but he seemed to be arguing with someone, but the strange thing is that he only heard Twilight's voice (it was Twilight's clones 5 and 6 who both took human form and wanted to be at the party), upon hearing Twilight's voice, he remembered that his friends were at the party and decided not to make more clones so as not to get the others in trouble and decided to observe secretly to Spike. What Dipper didn't know was that Tyrone decided to create more clones. ... Tyrone ended up creating 5 more clones to help observe how everyone at the party was going especially Spike and they were going to create another one, but I hear a noise and after that I hear someone's voice and some footsteps coming towards here, all the clones except Dipper clone number 6 they left of Stan's office through the window. "Hi Dipper," said Chrysalis who had just entered Stan's office. "Hi Chrys, what are you doing here?" Asked Dipper clone number 6, hoping Chrys would be leaving soon to make more clones. "I just came here to relax and what are you doing here, you're not supposed to be at the entrance," Chrysalis said. Dipper clone number 6 sighed and went to the entrance to the Mystery Shack. Chrysalis before was going to use the copier, but he sneakily saw that Twilight arrived earlier and started creating clones, seeing this Chrysalis decided to go to the party where Soos said about the contest and then went back to Stan's office, where he saw that Dipper was making clones at the time and Chrysalis accidentally tripped over a piece of furniture and an object fell and to avoid arousing suspicion, Chrysalis pretended to have just arrived at Stan's office. When Dipper number 6 left, Chrysalis was left alone in Stan's office and thought that this would be a good time to use that copier, but seeing Twilight and Dipper sneakily use it, Chrysalis thinks that anyone who uses the copier will only it would bring problems. What the original Dipper did not realize is that the line to get into the party, although it seemed to be very long only he had to wait a few more minutes for it to finish. ... Pacifica and Rainbow Dash seemed very determined to win this competition, their friends were sure of one thing that they did not want to support anyone in this competition. Suddenly Robbie appeared and asked Applejack if he knew where Wendy was because she had just seen the entrance to the Mystery Shack and only saw Dipper. They all said they hadn't seen Wendy and upon hearing this Robbie left. After Robbie left everyone started wondering where Twilight was and decided to go find her. Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle noticed that they saw in various parts Dipper who seemed to be attentive to the party and they looked to hidden to Spike and Ember and also saw in various parts Twilight in her form human who seemed to be looking for someone. Applejack suggested to her friends that they put all the Dipper and Twilight together in one part and they all decided to follow Applejack's idea. Shortly before that, the queue to enter the Mystery Shack was finally over and Dipper clone number 6 was finally able to enter the Mystery Shack. ... Twilight started looking for Dipper, but Dipper and his clones were hiding watching Spike. The original Dipper noticed that the party guests were hardly paying attention to Ember and Spike, because they were all more attentive to the party and Pinkie, he also realized that people stopped entering the Mystery Shack and decided to go to see Tyrone (the first clone of Dipper) at the entrance to the Mystery Shack, but he ran into the original Twilight. "Hi Dipper, you are enjoying the party, that's good that I replaced you at the entrance," said Twilight. "Hi Twilight, and what do you mean you replaced me at the entrance?" Dipper asked. But before Dipper and Twilight could process what they had just heard from each other, Applejack appeared and led Dipper and Twilight somewhere. ... Dipper and Twilight arrived where Applejack wanted to take them and they were surprised to see all those clones of Dipper and Twilight and the two began to understand the doubts in the conversation they had earlier. Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle wanted to know how there were so many Dipper and Twilight, but they all the Dipper and Twilight started arguing and fighting amongst themselves. Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle wanted to stop the fight, but first they all wanted to know who the originals were, Rarity began to realize who the original Dipper and Twilight could be, but before she could tell the others the Dipper original used a party popper, which came out a bit of party popper smoke, which activated all the sprinkles, causing all the Dipper and Twilight clones to melt. Rarity was about to ask Twilight and Dipper what had happened, when everyone saw Tyrone arrive and also Twilight number 1 appeared from another part, Applejack and Rarity were about to help the original clones, when they all noticed that almost everyone left the Mystery Shack and the party was over. Also Dipper and Tyrone realized that Ember also left. Dipper, Twilight, Tyrone, and the Twilight clone sighed. Suddenly Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo, Wendy and Spike appeared. "Where was everyone when the party was ending?" Rainbow asked that she had just arrived. "Rainbow Dash is right, where were you all? In the contest there was a tie between Pacifica and Rainbow Dash, but Pacifica bribed Old Man McGucket and thanks to that he won ”, said Scootaloo After saying that, they were surprised to see two Dipper and two Twilight. And shortly after that Twilight's spell time was up and everyone reverted to their pony form. "Why am I seeing double?" Wendy asked. Dipper and Twilight sighed and started telling them everything, about the copier and that they decided to make clones. Dipper was worried about Spike and that's why he made a clone to replace him at the entrance and he was going to do more when he heard how lively the party was and that's why he didn't make more clones, while Twilight created two clones, one to replace Dipper in the entrance and another who was attentive to cast the spell to believe they were human. "Wait, that can't be possible, because there were at least 6 clones of each one," Applejack said. "Actually when the original Twilight left, clone number 2 and I decided to create other clones to take over from the work we had to do to go to the party and we assumed another Twilight was going to do that job," said Twilight number 1. . "I didn't hear how lively the party was, so after Dipper left I started making clones and if it weren't for Chrys that came, I would have ended up making more clones," said Tyrone. "You didn't have to worry so much about it, we just talked about what Dragon Lands was like and she said it was similar to living with Manotaurs," Spike said. Everyone began to laugh at everything that had happened and Dipper decided to open a can that his friends had brought to drink, but when he opened it, a stream of drink came out, wetting Dipper, Twilight, Tyrone and Twilight number 1. "I knew it was a bad idea that Pinkie had left the can that she ended up shaking so much with the other drink cans," Rarity said watching Tyrone and Twilight number 1 melt. Suddenly Pinkie appeared as animated as ever. “What are you all still doing around here? Now that most of the people are gone, we don't have to worry about Twilight's spell and we can finally fully enjoy the party, ”said Pinkie. "And Candy and Grenda also stayed to continue enjoying the rest of the party and Fluttershy I think you will like Grenda because she brought an iguana." They all started walking and Applejcak said something to Wendy. "By the way Wendy, Robbie was looking for you at the party," Applejack said. “I totally forgot that I was going to meet Robbie at the party,” Wendy said. "Robbie left, because he thought you never went to the party," Pinkie said. "I think it will be better for Robbie if he thinks I never went to the party," Wendy said. Everyone laughed at what Wendy said and decided to go enjoy the party like Pinkie said.
