Grim cleared his throat as he faced the audience. "Alright ladies and
gentlemen. The fairy tale fad is starting to grow stale again. So I've decided to
expand my operations to other media's...the first on the chopping
block...Gravity falls"- Grim paused to roll his eyes. "And no, none of the
people on that project were smoking anything when they made up that
name...Although it probably would have made more sense if they
did...Anyway, our story starts off with-" Grim then let's out a snort of
annoyance. "Okay, you know what? You've heard it all before- Parents get sick
of kids cramping their style. Kick them out of the house for a Quote "Vacation"
Unquote. The twins Dipper and Mabel get sent far away to a rinky-dink town
in the middle of nowhere with a senile, negligent, shyster of a relative who
they've never seen before in their life." Grim shook his head in disbelief.
"Sheesh, mom and dad. Wouldn't feeding them cyanide have been simpler?"
Asked a perplexed Grim. "Anyway, fast forward a couple of weeks. Dipper
pines happens upon by...dumb luck." Grim growls under his breath as he
mumbles that last part. "A mysterious book of unnatural knowledge and
unknown origin." Grim face palms himself. "Oh, wow. Real original...That's
not cliche at all." Grim then clears his throat. "Moving on...after this
discovery his sister mabel begins to date someone. Dipper of course suspects
him of supernatural origins"- Grim can only snort in astonishment. "Seriously?
That's what your worried about? Not the fact he's clearly several years older
than her. Or the fact he looked like he just walked out of an edition of serial
killer monthly? Come on boy, I know this is a supernatural themed show- But
come on man! It's your sister! Get your priorities straight! If not for her sake,
than for your's! Seriously, it's probably that kind of thinking that got you
kicked out of your house!" Grim again cleared his throat to continue.
"Shockingly, said grim sarcastically". "Mabel disregards her brothers
worries...as well as the most important lesson parents and teachers alike have
been shoving down the throats of children since they were little. Never go to a
dark, remote area. With a person who you barely know. Especially with
someone who towers over you!...so of course she dose just that...As much as
I'd like to say that her idiocy gave her the horrific end she had coming...Well,
odds are if your reading this you already know that's not true." Grim let out a
disappointed sigh. "Right, let's just speed this along. The guys revealed to be a
bunch of gnomes. Yada. Yada. Kidnaps her. Blah. Blah. Blah. Dipper rescues
her. Whoop-de-freaking-do! They triumph in the end...and I think there was
supposed to be a lesson or something...about trust or teamwork or
whatever...Ah, who cares?" Grim took a second to get the bad taste of the story
out of his mouth. He then took a deep breath to compose himself. "Okay, our
time here is limited. So I'm not even going to get into the whole "convenient
finding of the cliched-Macguffin right before he needs it" shtick...or
whatever insanity possessed their parents to send them to this stinking cesspit
of a town...But I will rant about mable's comeuppance...or rather her lack of
any! Seriously, she broke the cardinal rule of children's safety and endangered
not only her life but her brother's!...and dose she at least get grounded for her
incompetence? Grim pauses for dramatic effect. "NO! All she gets is a pat on
the back and a grappling Hook!" Grim chuckled at this last bit. "Well,okay.
That hook bit was actually funny...dare I say even endearing...BUT
REGARDLESS! If you like stories were the naive and incompetent are taught a
lesson they aren't soon to forget...READ ON!"...
…...
TO BE CONTINUED?
AN: I know it says "in-progress" but really I just don't like boxing myself into a corner. For now this is more of a one-shot that I might continue one day...but probably won't.
But, hey. Feel free to use whatever elements you want from this, if you want! Or maybe give me ideas?
