Sock Opera...with a cherry on top
I OWN AND REGRET NOTHING!
…...
ATTENTION EVERYONE! I'll be briefly breaking my Hiatus and having a Halloween contest. I'll be posting Halloween themed stories, horror themed, or one's that end with a cliff-hanger! The story that gets the most reviews, will be the one I update on Halloween!(and maybe a few other surprises. heh. heh.)
And don't forget to check out my new "Shake Up the Falls" Challenge!
…...
Bill Cipher laughed in triumph. Soon, I'll destroy that journal...and then I'll throw Pine Tree's body off the water tower! Good times all around! I can't wait-
His train of thought was interrupted by someone tapping his back. "Mind if I take it from here?" Asked a bland voice behind him.
Bill, annoyed. Turned around ready to let him have it- And then his ectoplasm went cold. "W-What are YOU doing here?" Asked a terrified Bill...
….Later...
As the audience applauds below. Mabel climbs the catwalk and runs over to where the giant cake is hanging. The journal sits inside. Mabel climbs over the edge and reaches for the journal. She frantically searches through it. "Come on, come on now, there must be a way to get Dipper's body back!"
"Oho, but why would you want to do that?" Mabel looks up to see Dippers body pulling the cake up, with lights shining behind his grinning demonic face.
"Bill Dipper! Bipper." Exclaims Mabel. "Shh! You wouldn't want to ruin the show... Whoops!" He shouts as He briefly releases the cake, sending Mabel plummeting. "It's slipping! How's about you hand that book over?" He asks Mable in mock chivalry.
"No way! This is Dipper's! I'd never give it away!" Shouts Mabel defiantly.
He gave Mabel a contemplative look. "Hmm, you didn't seem to have a problem taking it for your own play, ditching him when he needed you. So come to your senses. Give me the book or your play is ruined." Mabel sighs and begins to hand over the journal...
He smirks as he reaches for it. "Huh...I feel like I should say something else here..." He thought out loud...then he shrugs. "Nah, I'm good." And he takes the journal away triumphantly. He quickly secures the rope to the catwalk, then smirks. "You get all that Bill?" He asked suddenly.
"You got it Boss!" Mabel turns toward the direction of the new voice...only to see Bill handling a camera?!
"Wait, what?" Mabel turned back to Dippers body confused. "But I thought-
FWOOM!
Mabel screamed as Dipper's body burst into flames! Destroying both the body AND Journal...and in it's place...a terrifying faceless man wearing a business suite and sporting numerous, long, Slender arms.
"You can call me Slenderman little girl." Said the creature tot he terrified Mabel. "But enough about me, your show must go on!" Before Mabel could react. Slenderman snapped his fingers. "Lights, Camera, Action!"
…...
The people of Gravity Falls didn't know what was going on. One second they were watching a puppet show...then all the props and puppets disintegrate. Then the lights start to act erratic and suddenly reveal a ghostly Dipper...then several colossal movie screens 'melt' out of the walls...and switch on to reveal a horrific abomination!
Slenderman chuckled. "Hello boys and girls! Sorry for the inconvenience...but I'm afraid tonight's feature presentation has been canceled on account of...well, me."
Slenderman cackled. But don't worry! We have a replacement show all lined up! A little documentary I like to call 'Mabel Pines: Loveable Cloudcuckoolander or spoiled, ungrateful sister?' He snaps his fingers, activating the 'mood lighting' and staring up the 'documentary' on all screens. "And now, as an added treat, I give you the remixed vocal styling's of 'Jeff Buckley'...
(Music begins)
Well, I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
The audience stayed glued to their seat as they viewed Dipper saving Mabel from the gnomes...
Well it goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Feelings were mixed during the scene that showed Dipper allow Wendy to be hit in the eye to allow Mabel to keep her pig...
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
Feelings got even more 'mixed' when Dipper again sacrificed for Mabel so she could help Mermando...
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
And then they show the scene of Mabel promising Dipper she'd help him 'later' after a week of the making the puppet show...
Baby, I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor (you know)
I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
...Only to then break her promise at the end of said week...
There was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me, do ya?
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Everyone gasped in horror as Dippers soul is ripped from his body...and cringed as Bill abuses it...
Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah...
And finally...they watched...in stunned horror...as Mabel gave up the journal to save her show...and both it and Dippers body went up in flames...
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah...
...(song ends)...
Too late did Mabel realize how much Dipper had sacrificed for her...too late did she realize what she'd done...
She looked down to the stage...saw Dipper. And even if she lived to be hundred...she would never forget the devastated look of betrayal and despair that was plastered over Dippers face. Without a word...Dipper turns his back to Mabel...and floats out of the building...
Slenderman then floated next to Mabel and laughed-
"If you're searching this story for a point- Well, you've probably missed it"
Said Slenderman mockingly to the readers as he playfully flicked the horse head puppet picture on Mabel's sweater, causing it to change into a picture of a broken heart...
"There was never anything here In the first place..."
Trailed off Slenderman as he vanished into the ether...his twisted deed done...
With nothing left to say...Mabel fell to her hands and knees and wept...
…...
TO BE CONTINUED?
AN: The Song is a parody of 'Hallelujah' by 'Leonard Cohen'...
AN: I know it says "in-progress" but really I just don't like boxing myself into a corner. For now this is more of a one-shot that I might continue one day...but probably won't.
But, hey. Feel free to use whatever elements you want from this, if you want! Or maybe give me ideas?
Love me, flame me, review me
