Em and I were camping. It was a thing we liked to do a lot in the summer. We would go out in the woods a few miles from my house and spend the night. It was fun and we had gone tons of times without anything weird going on. This time would prove to be the strangest experience of our lives.
We cooked our dinner, put the fire out, and retreated to the tent where we lay in our sleeping bags loving unlimited data plans. After about an hour of chatting with each other and using the internet, I started to hear the wind pick up.
"Do you hear that?" I whispered after a few minutes of a different noise growing as the wind picked up.
Em was in a half asleep stupor of juggling updating her Twitter, blogging, and listening to music. I heartlessly pulled One Direction from her ears and roused her from the media trance.
"What?!" she snapped, taking her earbuds back. "D-Do you hear that..." I said, starting to get spooked.
She listened and grew still as she heard the strange noise. It was a weird moaning sound, mournful and haunting in the midnight air.
"That's not wind.." she started to say as the tent lifted up off the ground.
Yeah you read that right.
We were suddenly spinning through the air at breakneck speed. "WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?" I cried over the roar of the wind.
Em crawled to the door of the tent. (An admirable feat considering the fact that our weight had caused us to slide to the center of the flying tent. With no ground below us, the plastic floor was no longer flat.)
She opened the zipper just enough to stick her head out. "OH MY GOD IT'S LIKE THE EFFING WIZARD OF OZ OUT THERE WHAT THE HECK?! "
The tent gave a sudden lurch and she tumbled into me. "Watch it!" I said as we collided.
Feeling curious despite our insane situation I hauled myself to the door to see for myself what was going on. I peeked out and was shocked to find us in the middle of what looked like a tornado.
Wizard of Oz indeed.
Just as I was about to close the zipper, something flew out of nowhere and hit me in the face. The mystery object and I fell backwards into the tent, Em and I banged our heads together, and everything went black.
Author's Note: I hope you enjoyed the first chapter! :D The next one will definitely be longer and include the Gravity Falls characters we know and love, so keep reading.
