I can't believe time has flown by this quickly. I've been rushing this episode date, but then there's still that whole "classes" thing, which in turn speeds up my due dates for multiple everything's and such. Naturally, not the greatest things to want to have breathing down your neck. Luckily, this story was pre-written in case of creative emergency. Even if I did have to leave out a few chapters to fit it within the count down.

Today...

Disclaimer: I don't own Gravity Falls.

The time had come,

Things were finally catching up with good old Stan.

How long did the man think he could hide for?

How long did the man think he could lie?

How many people were going to die?

His actions had caused this after all.

So who was going to be the one who lost?

Senpai- er Stan's great-niece?

The marshmallow peep?

Dipper the big-headed?

The fat one?

Fids?

Or would it be Stan himself who finally took the plunge?

Well, it looked like time was up for the Pines family and their friends. Stan had tried his hardest to keep his secrets secret, but in the end he would of course fail. Stan put up an unfair and dishonest fight, he liked those sort of qualities in a guy. But how could one expect any less from him? It was a fun game to watch, but the time had come.

Things were going to change on this day, big things. These were the first proverbial Time-Baby steps that would set things in motion at last. Before long, things would be running at full speed with no signs of stopping. And he certainly looked forwards to that time. There was just too much to do to stop and smell the flowers with so much on his plate, there was no chance of doing so.

Still. He had waited and watched. From the day those new twins stepped off of the bus and on to the dust Stan called a parking lot, he knew that this time around, things were not going to fail. He just had to make sure to keep a closer eye on these ones. Those Pines were notoriously tricky after all, and they had a penchant for picking good friends that would bother him too.

Seriously, there was just no avoiding that Grendzillia and her possibility of decorative logs and flannel! At least Fids had the decency to be afraid of him, and not do ridiculous girly stuff. Which made sense, seeing has he was grown man. Even if he did not have quite the right mindset exactly. Was Dipper going to end up with his gigantic head scrambled as well? Would he be able to take on the coming storm? The day when everything he cared about would change?

Yeesh, he must have been getting sentimental or something. How pathetic of him was that?! But he had carefully observed everything that they had done in their times here. Followed the adventures that nearly almost made him reminiscent of past ones before their time...

Sentimentality was for losers anyways. He had better things to do with his time. Like breaking a certain possible prom-king candidate out of jail, just on time for the grand finale. Or perhaps he would literally do something better with his time and off that sweaty one.

Well, it didn't matter what he did.

At the end of the day, they were all just tiny pawns in his plans.

At the end of the day, there would be no one to stop him.

At the end of the day, they were all doomed.
