Alright, I'm watching Little Dipper as we type and I remembered another theory I came up with a short while back. The way Stan looks out the bottom right corner of his eye at something-assumably the twins-is suspicous. He said "Uh, you might wanna take another look there." The "Uh" is interesting. Haven't they already showed time traveling in this show? Exactly. Mabel and Dipper were involved in the time traveling thing tremendously, and Mabel and Stan have been hanging out together lately, which leads back to my former theory that Stan is training Dipper for something-he's training Mabel as well, perhaps? Maybe Mabel-that's funny-has the first book, and isn't telling Dipper because Stan told her not to. She's immediately suspicous when Dipper says "Oh yeah? Something tells me I have another growth spirt coming on right now." Mabel immediately knows it is "some magicy thing". Then she knows exactly how the shrinking falshlight works, even though Dipper had just invented it. I know this because she must've stepped a milemeter behind dipper so that he shrank more-it's simple science-so that she was still taller. Mabel has some kind of way with time, so that she went back in time and saw just how Dipper invented it or something.(This is my favorite episode. I remember it word for word.)In the Fighting Fighters episode, Stan says "Uh oh" when he realizes Mabel has a fear or heights now. Either he didn't know how to get the kid down, or he knew this was going to be a problem in Mabel's training. Stan could very well be training Dipper, Mabel, and maybe even-doubtably on many levels-probably secretly to where he doesn't even know it-maybe Gideon. Or he just knows of Gideon's possession of the second book and is training Dipper and Mabel and hoping Gideon can just train himself. He probably only has interest in training someone related to him. I read on another site that there's a code in the theme that says something like-sorry I can't quite remember but it's something like this-"A Five Member Branch Hand". So, three down. Two others shall come. Also, I find Gideon's questioning Dipper all the time very, very suspicous. Here are his questions and what they mean in order-

"How long you been living in this town? A week two?  You like it here?*with a serious glare and change of tone*Enjoy the scenery?"-this means Gideon wants to make sure Dipper knows about the odd-goings-on in Gravit Falls.

"How exactly did you come upon this magic flashlight?! Did someone TELL you about it??!  Did you READ about it somewhere???!"-this means that Gideon thinks Dipper knows the author, and he wants to get some information out of him, and probably thinks Dipper will actually tell him, at least until Dipper blows a blowhorn in Gideon's ear after saying he'll tell him if he leans closer.

So Gideon is suspicous of Dipper, for some reason. Either simply because he's related to Stan or-Whoa. I just realized Stan IS the author! And Gideon knows. Maybe Stan tried to train Gideon in the past and Gideon found out Stan's secret before he could finish. Then he threw a fit because anyone who has seen Gideon's first episode can admit he has anger issues, and now Gideon is trying to get the best of Stan to find the secret he found out about when he was being trained. He threw a fit over it when he heard Stan and Wendy talking about it, perhaps, and now is in search of a way to get the shack. Stan seems to think Gideon is an idiot, so maybe he failed at his training, but that's just a thought because of how lowly Stan thinks of Gideon, it could be because Gideon never finished training. By the way the way Stan looks without his fez makes me feel all weirdish. I'm rambling. I'll just stop the comment here and-hey he just reminded me on the show that he said"You have no one to protect you now!"! Maybe he's talking about Mabel! Or Dipper, but I have a weird feeling it's Mabel. But now I'm really gonna end-Hey maybe all that broken glass has something to do with the storyline! Maybe Mabel and Dipper put the crystal back together-to save Soos because they forgot about him when they were breaking the crystal to keep it out of the wrong hands"and junk"-and they put some mirror pieces, which look like the broken crystal peices, and the mirror pieces will relfect against the power of the crystal to make the flashlight more powerful! Now that I think about it that probably has nothing to do with anything. So now I'm really gonna end the comment and post another one for my other theories.
