Yello, everyone. As you all know, our favorite show (aside from MLP, of course) is coming to an hour-long, dramatic conclusion in 12 days time.

I feel your pain, Mr. Skywalker... I feel your pain. Anyways, I was watching Weirdmageddon II: Escape From Reality and I got to the part were Dipper said he wasn't going to take Ford's apprenticeship and it hit me... what if Dipper actually DID take Ford's apprenticeship.

Ladies and Gentlemen, for your entertainment and for the sake of not letting the flame of Gravity Falls die out, I present to you... THE APPRENTICE AU!!!!

Now, I'll be working on an inaugural story called "The Author's Apprentice" for fanfiction.net, but if you guys want to help with this endeavor, then I could use someone to help me set up a Tumbler page or something. Oh, and Dipper will be shipped with, and eventually marry and have his own set of twins with, Pacifica Northwest.
