//------------------------------// // That's what friends do for each other // Story: My Little Gravity Falls is Magic // by GamerBrother777 //------------------------------// “Grunkle Stan?” Mabel shouted once more. “Mabel you’ve asked if his here like ten times now, he’s not here.” Dipper told his sister. “Do you think Discord got him?” Mabel asked. “He might have….,” Twilight said, she trailed off with the sounds of footsteps on the wood floor. Everyone froze where they stood. The footsteps started to grow louder with each second. Then they all saw a shadow approaching the gift shop area. The figure opened the curtain and walked in to reveal it was just Soos the Handyman. “Oh, hey Dipper. Hey Mabel.” Soos joyously said. He stopped when he saw the ponies. “Whoa, dudes, am I dreaming or is this real life.” “This is not a dream, Soos.” Dipper said, “these ponies are real.” “Soos, this is Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy.” Mabel said gesturing to each pony as she introduced them. “Hello sir,” Twilight said. “Whoa dude, you guys talk.” Soos said with delight. “Of course we talk, silly. Why wouldn't we talk?” Pinkie asked. “I don’t know, usually everything talks in my dreams.” Soos says. “This is not a dream, Soos.” Dipper told him again. “Alright dude no need to go coo coo bananas.” Soos calmed Dipper down, “so what are you doing with ponies.” “We’re looking for like a weird animal…dragon…thing, Soos.” Mabel told the handyman. “You know, now that you mention it, Mr. Pines mentioned something like that.” Soos said. “You've seen Discord?” Applejack asked. “And Grunkle Stan?” Dipper continued. “I didn’t see the creature, but I think Mr. Pines just left not to long; also Wendy left with her friends.” “So Grunkle Stan is safe.” Mabel asked “Probably, dude.” Soos said. “I think he’s in the woods.” The group left the shack and into the yard of the shack. Everything still seemed normal, but that could change in an instance. A rustling could be heard in the woods, which turned out to be Stan. The twins ran to greet him. "Grunkle Stan!" Mabel happily said. “Dipper, Mabel; where have you two been.” “We went to a land of magical talking ponies.” Mabel joyously responded. Stan gave a blank look to his niece. “Dipper, where have you and your sister been?” “We were where Mabel said we were.” Dipper told him. “Where were you Grunkle Stan?” “I went into the woods to look for you two. Grunkle Stan attention was caught by the group of ponies. “So talking ponies.” “Yes sir,” Twilight said. “My name is Twilight Sparkle and these are my friends.” They introduced them selves one by one. Grunkle Stan watch with a mix of confusion and excitement. Grunkle Stan then had an idea, “You know I could open up an area for pony rides. I could charge kids a hundred dollars per ride.” Grunkle Stan imagined what could be. “Hey bud, your not making anypony be in a pony ride.” Rainbow said. “That’s not important Rainbow,” Twilight said, “Mr. Pines have you seen a creature with a mix match of animals come through here.” “You mean Discord?” Stan said Everyone said yes all together. “Yay he said something about having a lot on his plate.” Stan said. “And indeed I do.” came a voice from the back. Everyone knew it was Discord. They turn to the see him standing smugly with them.” “Well what in tarnation are you planning Discord?” Applejack scorned. “Why Applejack if I just told you it would ruin the surprise.” Discord says. “He’s right Applejack,” Pinkie said, “You shouldn't ruin the surprise.” “Pinkie he not talking about a party plan.” Rarity told the pink mare. “WHAT!” Pinkie Pie sadly said. “Don’t worry Pinkie,” Discord said, “if you so very interested in knowing my plan I give you a glimpse.” He snapped his fingers sending all ten of them to a cliff overlooking the main town area of Gravity Falls. All of them look over to see the town was in chaos. The citizens were running around with the not understanding what was happening. Dipper was able to see Wendy and here friends followed by a van flying upside down. “Wendy!” Dipper said reaching his hand out. “She can’t here you, little boy, nor could you reach here from where you are.” Dipper said nothing as did everyone else, until Discord snapped his fingers sending everyone back to the Mystery Shack. “Well with that done, I’m already half way through my plan.” Discord laugh evilly/ “Jokes on you, you didn't get the Mystery Shack.” Mabel laughed along with Pinkie Pie. “Probably because it’s too dirty and dusty if you ask me.” Rarity said. “Well even something seemingly worthless can hold great secret.” Discord laughed. “Just you wait, Discord,” Twilight told him “you’ll be back into your prison before you know it.” “How is that, Twilight Sparkle?” Discord asked sleazily, “you have neither the elements of harmony nor Princess Celestia. But why bother, I don’t understand why you ponies bother, you're risking your lives to saves some humans you barely know. I mean honestly.” “We’re helping them because that’s what friends do for each other.” Twilight said. “They helped us with Trixie and Gideon so we’re helping them.” Rarity continued. The twins shared a smile at the word, friend. Discord, however, became bored with the conversation, “UGH! You ponies and your friendship makes my stomach hurt.” “I can agree with that, all the helping and sharing makes my stomach hurt.” Grunkle Stan put in. Discord got an idea. “Why Stan I think I can help with that.” He came over to where Stan stood and put his finger on the old man nose. A gray pigment came over Stan. “You feel better Stan?” “Uh, why do I feel like donating money to charity?” Stan said. “Mr. Pines, what wrong.” Soos asked worryingly. “Oh he’s fine, just a personality change.” Discord told the handyman, “well I’d love to stay for more, but I must be on my way before you stop me” He said mockingly and vanished once more. The group was stunned. “What do we do now?” Dipper asked. “I don’t know.” Twilight said. The ponies gasped, “What do you mean, Sugarcube.” “Well we can’t stop Discord without the Elements, and we can’t get to the elements without Princess Celestia, and we have no idea where Princess Celestia could be.” “So what are your saying?” Rainbow asked. “I think we should just give in.” Again the ponies gasped. “We can’t just give up.” Rarity told her. “But, we can’t do anything. I sorry Dipper and Mabel.” “It’s okay,” Mabel told her friend, “you at least tried.” Everyone was really sad, none more that Soos, but as the ponies were getting ready leave, they heard a “No.” They turned to see that it was Fluttershy. No one understood why she said it. “No. We can’t just leave.” The ponies were stunned to hear what she was saying. “We can’t just leave, Dipper and Mabel helped us when we barely met them and now it’s our turn to help them.” As she talked everyone’s spirits began lifting. “Discord may be hard to stop, but we worked together to stop Gideon and Trixie, we can stop Discord too if we worked together.” By this point everyone, human and pony was smiling. “You said it yourself Twilight, it’s what friends do for each other.” “Fluttershy’s right we can’t just give in.” Rainbow said. “Yes she is.” Twilight said slightly embarrassed. “So you guys are gonna stay.” Mabel said happily They all said yes in unison. Everyone grouped together for a group hug. Soos was so happy he had tears in his eyes. Even Grunkle Stan joined due to his personality change. The hug was stopped when Dipper heard a familiar voice say hello. “Wendy!” he ran up to greet her. “What, how are you here.” “It was crazy,” Wendy said. “I was in the car with my friends when this dragon thing flew in out of nowhere and started doing these crazy things.” “That’s cool.” Dipper said love struck. “Dude, these are the ponies he’s after?” Wendy asked Dipper. “Wait, how did you know about the ponies?” Mabel asked. “Maybe she psychic like Gideon.” Pinkie Pie said. “No she told me.” Wendy Gestured to a figure behind her. As the figure approached them, it revealed itself as Princess Celestia. “Princess!?” The ponies said.
