What had started out as an ordinary morning (as normal as one can get in Gravity Falls, anyway) was quickly devolving into chaos. Having gone into town to carry out a list of errands, Dipper and Mabel had quickly eschewed their responsibilities in favor of running around flailing their limbs and shrieking at the top of their lungs.

Not of their own volition, mind you. Rather, some mysterious and alien force was now hijacking their voluntary muscle control, forcing them to act out its increasingly ridiculous whims.

"Okay, we need to figure this out," barked Dipper. "Whatever's causing this is clearly getting stronger by the..." He was cut off mid-sentence as his arms posed to either side and he began to sing "I'm a little teapot, short and stout, this is my handle, this is my spout!"

In spite of being forced to smear makeup from her purse on her face in a manner befitting your average rodeo clown, Mabel couldn't help but snicker at this.

"Mabel, it's not fu-When I get all steamed up, hear me shout: tip me over and pour me out!"

"Sorry, bro-bro," said Mabel, blushing so hard it almost camouflaged the powder she'd been forced to apply to herself. "You gotta admit this would be pretty funny if we could control it." With that, she abruptly dropped her compact as she lifted off the ground and began floating through the air.

"And now I'm flying! Whoo-hoo!" she exclaimed, doing loops and dives in the air. "Super-Mom, to the rescue!"

Maybe it was the headstand he was now doing, but suddenly it all clicked in Dipper's head. "That's it, oof!" shouted Dipper as he fell over. "Only two people could be causing this!" Struggling to resist the force commanding him to do a cartwheel, he fished his cellphone out of his pocket and hit the speed dial for "Mystery Shack".

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finn and Gladys Pines both looked down at their feet in shame as their mom and uncle stood there, catching their breath as Grunkle Ford stood over a bubbling cauldron nearby.

"We'we sowwy," said Gladys. "We thought they were just dolls from Gwandma."

The older twins' gaze shifted to the nearby opened package. Who would've thought a postal mix-up could cause so much trouble? Still, the two kids were hardly to blame, seeing as they had no idea what they were doing.

"Eh, it's okay," grinned Mabel. "It's not like you guys knew they were voodoo dolls. Anyway, you can play with them all you want now that Grunkle Ford's disenchanted them, right?"

Stanford reached into the cauldron with a pair of tongs and lifted out a pair of yarn dolls in the likeness of his grand-niece and grand-nephew. "Yes," he replied. "They should now be harmless dolls that just happen to look like family members."

"One thing bothers me," thought Dipper. "If we got these dolls, then where did Mom's gift package end up?"

----------------

"Mail call!" shouted the guard walking the corridor at Gravity Falls Maximum Security. "Gleeful, you got a package!"

Gideon Gleeful smiled with malice as the guard fit the box through the bars in his cell. He had exhausted nearly every favor he had been owed and spent almost every resource at his disposal, but he'd finally found a way to get his revenge on the Pines twins! The best part was he could do it all without ever leaving his cell!

"At last," he declared as he began to open the box, "Pines twins, you will have no choice but to obey my every-cookies?!" Somehow, instead of his voodoo dolls, the box contained nothing but chocolate-chip macadamia nut cookies!

"Dear Finn and Glad-Glad," read the included note, "I hope you love these cookies as much as I loved baking them."

"PINES TWIIIIIIIIINS!" screamed the former child psychic in anger. "You know I'm allergic to macadamia!"
On a seemingly ordinary day, Dipper and Mabel find themselves beset by a power with a familiar source. Inspired by the Future Pines continuity established by SuperGroverAway and :iconbitter-knitter:

Poor Gideon. Allergies are no joke. Nothing is worse than being offered some nice treats, but them containing something you're allergic to.
