Switches: Dipper & Tyrone
Author’s Note: Finally got this done my gosh- Hope you all enjoy!! I miss Tyrone so much! 🌲
That was… an interesting night to say the least.
Dipper and Tyrone made their way up to the rooftop hangout spot of the Mystery Shack. The muffled music from the party mixed with the sounds of cicadas and crickets creating a calming white noise. A small breeze created the perfect summer night temperature for chatting with your clone about the nights recent happenings.
Dipper and Tyrone sat on the edge of the roof and swung their legs. Dipper sighed, breaking the awkward silence to talk to himself.
“I can’t believe we blew it.” He hung his head low.
Tyrone brought his hands to his lap, playing with his fingers trying to figure out what to say.
“It’s alright, man. We live and we learn.” Tyrone looked to Dipper, still wearing a frown and hanging his head.
“I mean, you didn’t totally blow it.” Tyrone put a hand on Dipper’s shoulder.
“You made some progress when you just talked to her and didn’t do any of that list stuff.” Dipper recalled the conversation Wendy and Dipper had outside the bathroom.
The moment where two freaks had a small heart to heart. He smiled, but soon frowned again when he thought about Robbie.
“Yeah I guess. I mean do you think we even have a chance with her?” Dipper looked to Tyrone.
“She’s 15, we’re 12, and then there’s Robbie. Stupid skinny-jean wearing jerk.” Dipper and Tyrone simultaneously crossed their arms in frustration.
Tyrone glanced at Dipper again. He didn’t like seeing him beat himself up. At least this time emotionally and not physically like earlier.
“Aww, c’mon, Wendy and Robbie can’t last forever. And who knows, maybe we will get to dance with her one day~” Tyrone elbowed at Dipper’s side in a playful manner. Dipper twitched and found himself snickering at the touch.
“Hehey- knohock it ohohoff!” Tyrone abruptly stopped. Tyrone and Dipper each gasped at the reaction Dipper classic had just emitted.
“Woah…” Tyrone said.
“Did you just?” Dipper stared in disbelief.
“I think I did…”
“I can tickle myself?!” The two said at the same time.
A small blush formed on both of their cheeks. It was no secret that Dipper was ticklish. Extremely ticklish in fact. And you know Mabel takes advantage of that any chance she can. But this, this was a scientific discovery. Just happened to also be a flustering one.
“Mahan, this is crazy! I never even thought about the possibility that one could tickle themselves as a clone.” Dipper exclaimed.
“I know right? I mean, I guess when watching movies about clones you really don’t think of the- AHH!” Tyrone’s arm slammed to his side where a curious Dipper Classic had just poked.
To his surprise and amusement, Tyrone seemed to share his ticklishness even as a paper clone.
“Ha! It works on you too! Interesting.” Dipper excitedly yelled. Tyrone rubbed away the phantom feeling. It was so strange. Yes he was a clone of Dipper who had all of his memories of past tickle fights with Mabel, but since he had only been around for this night, the feeling was somehow both brand new yet nostalgic.
“Yeah, I guess it dohoes- hehehehe! Wahahahait!” Tyrone suddenly giggled when Dipper started rapid fire poking at his sides and ribs. Tyrone backed away from the edge, both in fear of falling and to try and get away from Dipper’s tickling hands.
“Dihihipper! Hahaha! Stahahahap!” Tyrone struggled to stay upright, pulling his legs into his chest to block Dipper’s hands for a moment. That didn’t stop Dipper’s hands from curling into his sides, however.
“No way! This is totally something I gotta test. Plus you so owe me for locking me in a closet earlier.” Tyrone groaned through his giggles. I guess he did try and take over his life-
“Let’s see, do we share the same spots?” Dipper thought out loud moving to squeeze at Tyrone’s knees that were so conveniently positioned right in front of him.
“Ohoho my gohohosh!” Tyrone squealed and kicked his legs. Loud, high pitched giggles filling the night air and causing Dipper to chuckle.
“Seems like we do.” Dipper continued to squeeze and prod. He had to admit, he kind of understood now why Mabel tickled him all the time. His reactions were pretty funny.
While in deep thought, Tyrone took this opportunity to reach out and latch his fingers onto Dipper’s ribs and start scribbling. Dipper barked out a laugh and fell back against the rooftop.
“GAHAHAHA! TIHIYROHONE! NAHAT FAHAHAIR!” Dipper protested. His arms glued against his sides as Tyrone readjusted himself to get a better angle.
“Nohot fair? Dude, you literally just started tickling me right away! Now that’s unfair.” Tyrone playfully shouted before tickling away at his bottom ribs. Dipper shrieked and curled in on himself. Trying his hardest to shield every possible tickle spot they both knew the other could exploit.
“Heh. No wonder Mabel tickles us so much. It’s kinda fun.” Tyrone commented, making Dipper classic blush and shove at his hands when he dug in harder.
“Ohoho my gohohosh ShuhuHUHUT UHUHUP!” Getting teased by yourself was a whole new level of embarrassing. Not only did Tyrone know exactly where to attack, but he knew every thought that could be circulating in his head about the situation. Surely he wouldn’t say more of those things out loud thought right? Right…
“What if Wendy found out we were this ticklish. Oho man, we’d get tickled like all the time.” Tyrone seemed to have a lot more confidence than Dipper- because why the heck would Tyrone say something like that?!
Oh yeah, cause it would make Dipper absolutely melt into the floor as if he were the paper clone who got splashed with water.
“Duhuhude! Ahaha! C’mohohon mahahan!” Dipper switched to covering his now burning face. Tyrone took this opportunity to sneak his fingers up under Dipper’s arms.
“I don’t think we’d mind that much though if she did.” Tyrone smugly chuckled.
Dipper screamed before falling into loud cackles. Thankfully the music from the party was loud too. God forbid someone, *cough cough* Wendy, were to hear him having a tickle fight with himself.
“AHAHAHAHA! STAHAHAHA! NOHOHAHAHA!” Dipper thrashed back and forth. Anything to get away from Tyrone’s tickling hands. Unfortunately for him, he only succeeded in trapping Tyrone’s fingers under his arms.
“Oho my gohosh! Is that how loud we get when we laugh?” Tyrone giggled along. Tyrone went to adjust the way he was sitting when Dipper saw an opportunity. He reached his arms out despite the ticklish feeling and latched onto Tyrone’s leg and tickled. More specifically, he scribbled at that dreaded spot behind their knees.
“AHAHAHAHA! STAHAHAP!” Tyrone yanked on his leg, fingers still tickling away under Dipper’s arms.
“YOUHUHU FIHIHIRST! GAHAHAHAHA!” Dipper shrieked. His arms still hugging his sides as much as they could as he continued to tickle Tyrone.
The pair’s laughter filled the woods for minutes on end. Soon the two eventually gave up at the same time, falling back against the roof.
They both took in deep breaths, bodies tingling. As they stared at the stars, they tried not to think too much about the fact that they had just had a tickle fight with themselves. But honestly, it was kinda fun. And both knew it. All in all, a very… interesting night.

Bonus Part: 🌲
Dipper’s 3 and 4 found their way back to the Mystery Shack and happened to witness the end of… a tickle fight? They both gasped and blushed like Dipper and Tyrone had earlier.
“I had no idea we could tickle ourselves. Or that we as clones could even be ticklish.” 3 said, unable to look away from the giggling pair. 4 smirked and glanced sideways at 3.
He quickly gave him a scribble to the side and couldn’t help the smile that formed on his face when 3 squealed and slapped his hands over his mouth.
“Hehey!” 3 reached over trying to do the same to 4. 4 swerved out of his reach and latched onto 3’s sides giving him some ticklish squeezes before running to the woods behind them.
“Gehet bahack here!” 3 yelled to 4. The two’s giggling eventually fading into the distance of the woods of Gravity Falls.
Headcanons & ideas of Tyrone from me and @aria-blue-donut-muffin
🌲🌠🔵The Triplet Pines AU🌲🌠🔵
Differences between Tyrone and Dipper is, while Dipper can be anxious and awkward, Tyrone tends to be more sympathetic and loyal. Like helping Candy find a good present for her mom (and starts to secretly like her for her weirdness and ideas.)
Tyrone doesn't like water, and when its raining he has to where a really long raincoat and rain boots.
While becoming the Pines "official triplet" was the best day of his place. He still felt out of place because people (mainly Soos) mistake him for Dipper. Tyrone didn't want to be seen as Dipper #2, he wanted to be seen as himself. That's when Mabel (along with Candy, Grenda, including Wendy) decided to give Tyrone a makeover. Dipper and Tyrone didn't think it was a good idea at first, but decided to go with it so Tyrone can look like his own person. First, Wendy gave him his freckles, Grenda gives Tyrone his hoodie, and Candy gives Tyrone his blue hat. Tyrone liked his new appearance very much.

While he's in his secret room Tyrone wonders what'll happen to him when summer vacation ends. Will he still live in the Mystery Shack? Or will he have to move in with Soos and his grandma?
