4/5

[bedazzling]

[...Oh no.]

aaand done

[bedazzling]

...Gideon!? Wh... What happened, and how did you get so–!?

[Nope, she's not saying it aloud, but it's not hard to guess what that last word of hers might be.]

/APPLAUDS

[rocksthemabel]

[He can't help himself from grinning.]

How'd I get so... what?

[Even though he knows. That's not why he's asking.]

/BOWS

[bedazzling]

[Ohhh no. No, no, no, you're not getting her to say it, Gideon. You may be older and kind of attractive, but as if she's going to admit it aloud!]

...U-Ugh! Nothing! Ew, just... just ew.

[She crosses her arms, sizing him up.]

What did you do?

[rocksthemabel]

... What'd I... do?

[He raises a brow at her before it hits him.]

Ya think I'm--

[He pauses. Should he even tell her?]

[bedazzling]

[Obviously it's some sort of magic. Obviously.]

Yeah! I mean, you didn't look... uh, like that before! So obviously you did something!

[rocksthemabel]

[Putting his hands in the pockets of his jeans, he smiles.]

Yeah, I did somethin' alright.
Lived six more years.

[bedazzling]

[...Give her a sec, Gideon.]

But–! But that makes no sense. It hasn't even been years!

[finebirthinghips]

That's the thing about you young bastards! You think you've learned everything when the lesson isn't even over!

Who let you out of my class?! Get back in your seat!

[rocksthemabel]

...

[UH.]

But this ain't a classroom!

[Yeah, that's pretty much the only thing he can think to say in response to this.]

[finebirthinghips]

Ah, that's where you're wrong! Life is a classroom!

And you're not paying attention!

[rocksthemabel]

[Gideon just narrows his eyes at the... strange talking teddy bear.
If that's what it really is.]

Who are you?

[finebirthinghips]

I'm the headmaster of Hope's Peak!

[Instantly he throws fliers for the school in the air.]

Enrollment opens soon better pack your bags quick before you're easily forgotten by some hillbilly school!

[rocksthemabel]

[He grabs one of the fliers out of the air and has a look.
... It's scribbled on in what looks like crayon.
Oh. He gets it now. Or so he thinks.]

Thanks, but I think I'll stick t'my "hillbilly school."

[Sure, it's small, but there's nothing wrong with Gravity Falls High School.]

1/2

[pinevestigator]

...

[What.

WHAT.]

2/2

[pinevestigator]

[WHAT.]

G....Gideon?

[rocksthemabel]

[The teenager just grins at Dipper.]

The one n' only!

[pinevestigator]

[Dipper can't help but jump back slightly, baffled by Gideon's appearance.]

W....what happened to you?!

[rocksthemabel]

Puberty.
Guess you're still workin' on that!

[He laughs, pulling down Dipper's hat in a teasing manner.]

But ya got nothin' t'worry about, ya get through it fine.

[pinevestigator]

!!

[Dipper grimaces when Gideon pulls his hat down, quickly reaching up to adjust it.]

P...Puberty?

[Hold up something's not right here.]

What are you talking about? What did you do?!

[It's like you're listening to a broken record, Gideon.]

[rocksthemabel]

[Gideon leans his head back and sighs.]

Nothin', 'cept see you and Mabel every summer for the past six years.

[pinevestigator]

[....Wow, he's serious.

Unsure how to respond to that, Dipper reaches up and tugs nervously on the bill of his hat, avoiding Gideon's gaze for a moment.]

You....what?

[Sorry he just can't wrap his head around this.]
