Normal noon in the Mystery Shack. Mabel and Dipper, plus their familiars have gone back to Piedmont. Now it's just Dave, Dirk, Stanley, and Stanford.
"HOLY-"
"KILL IT! GET IT AWAY FROM ME!"
Normal, except for the cockroach currently residing under the recliner.
Why is a roach such a big deal, you ask? Well, for one, have you ever seen a roach? They look disgusting. Second, the Stans have an apparent fear of roaches, and it's not like the Striders are any better.
Ford is currently getting his gun ready for the abomination of nature, while Stan hides behind the TV, flip flops in hand in case it gets away from shooting range. Dave and Dirk are stationed at the doorway and near the register, respectively, sword in hand. Everybody eyes the roach warily.
The roach makes its way to the doorway.
"KILL THAT LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT!!!" Stan shouts, his flip flops barely missing the roach. The roach keeps running, but Dirk quickly comes to Dave's assistance, together chopping the roach. Their swords had only left the insect's body for a minute before Ford fires his ray gun and blasts the roach.
When they look to see, the roach flips over and heads outside.
The forest creature's screams are heard until the end of the day.

This is part of my spirir familiar au, which you can find here!
I just find the idea of the whole town (even the supernatural) finding roaches gross funny.
But seriously. Roaches are gross.
