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!
…...
Mabel Pines was having a weird Summer...First there was that incident the first week with her first 'failed' summer romance...
…..
Mabel finds Dipper reading a strange journal in the gift shop. "Hey, Bro bro! Meet my new Hubby, Norman!" Shouts Mabel introducing him to the older, weird-looking guy.
Dipper gets up and walks to him with a smile and a hand extended ready for a handshake.
"Hey Norman, nice to meet yo- OOPS! Shouts Dipper as he trips and falls onto Norman-
RIP!
This leaves Norman exposed...as a bunch of little of little men?
"Wait, what!?" Shouts a surprised Mabel, Wendy and Soos. 'Norman' coughed. "Right...so were gnomes...So that's that's a thing." He admitted awkwardly.
GET OUT OF MY SHACK! Screams an enraged Grunkle Stan...
…...
What followed was a rapid fight that nearly destroyed the Shack...Mabel couldn't quite put her finger on it...but there'd been something weird about how Dipper tripped...
And that hadn't been the only weird thing...Dipper gave up a chance to go lake monster hunting in favor of going on a fishing trip with Grunkle Stan! And a couple days ago...
…...
"Yeah! I'm taller! Alpha Twin! Alpha Twin!" Shouts Mabel excitedly. Dipper smiled. "Way to go Mabel, good for you!"
Mabel looks at him shocked! "Uh...did you just compliment me for doing something better than you?"
Dipper nodded. "Yeah, I'm really happy for you."
Mabel looks at him with great concern as she feels his forehead. "Are you feeling alright Dipper?" She asks sincerely worried...
…..
What's more, he was always sneaking out at night into the woods...or away with Grunkle Stan...
A week ago she found him burning a bunch of wax Dummy parts in the fireplace...And that weird triangle guy statue she saw him dragging around!
And of course there was the 'episode' of a couple days ago...
…..
"WAIT, WHAT!? Quick, turn that up!" Shouts Dipper in a panic. A scared Mabel complies and turns up the volume-
"To Recap: the Tent of Telepathy has burnt to the ground! Local icon/psychic has been confirmed dead! And so has his father! I'm Shandra Jimenez, and I'm happy that Toby Determined has gone missing...
Dipper looked confused. "I don't understand! This makes no sense! This wasn't supposed to happen!" He shouts out loud.
"Dipper, what are you talking about?" Asks a concerned Mabel. But Dipper had already left the room...
…..
Mabel was concerned...and didn't know what to make of it all...
Her train of thought was then derailed; for Wendy came into the room irritably talking on the phone. "Yeah, I heard about it...what are we going to do? I don't know...maybe we'll have to cancel tonight's get-together."... She said that last part with a sigh.
"What's wrong?" Asked a concerned Mabel. Wendy sighed. "Me, and my friends were all set to check out this abandoned store on the east side of town...but we just found out it burnt to the ground last night"...
East side?...wait, isn't that the direction that Dipper was going last night?... Thought a confused Mabel...
Suddenly, Dipper popped up. "Hey, you guys need somewhere else to party? Because I know a great place you can go...provided you bring me and Mabel along too." He adds with a smile.
Wendy frowns. "I don't know...how old are you guys?" She asked. For a brief instant Mabel saw the smile fall away from her brother, and a forlorn look replaced it.
But just as quickly as it came...it left. "Were only 12, but I promise it'll be worth it! In fact; I bet that you'll have a great time! If not, I'll do all your work at the Shack for the next week!"
"Deal!" Shouts an excited Wendy as she shakes his hand. She then laughs "Sucker! You got played! I'm not an easy girl to impress!-
…..3 hours latter...
-I've never been more happy to lose a bet." Stated an amazed Wendy as she and her equally amazed friends beheld the hundreds of glowing, flying, jellyfish-like creatures that flew through the air...they seemed to glow all the colors of the rainbow and hum an enchanting tune as they soared through the forest.
Tambry was going crazy blogging everything, Robbie was reluctantly admitting that place was 'okay', while the other guys were tossing Dipper up into the air-
"DR. Fun Time! Dr. Fun Time!" They chanted. When the teens had finished, an over excited Wendy swept him up. "Thanks Dipper! This is awesome! You Rock!" She gives him a light peck on the check and then runs off to climb a tree to get a better view of the Jellies.
Dipper flusters...then sighs as he walks off depressed. Mabel sees this, and is confused. She then goes off after him
"Hey get a load of this!" Shouts Lee as he points out a weird monolith...the teens gather around it...on it's face was a hand print...around were pictures of people placing their hands on it..most showing nothing happening...but those shown with big hearts...are shown with music?"
"Whoa...weird...let's trash it!" Shouts Lee. The others shout an excited confirmation as they try to shake the monolith out of the ground...
…...
Wendy was wandering aimlessly through the treetops...when she saw Dipper and Mabel below. She was about to call down to them-
-"Come on! Admit it! Someone's in love!" Shouts Mabel teasingly.
Dipper sighed. "Yes, fine. I love Wendy! There, you happy!?"
Wendy suddenly became quite flustered, silent...and very self-conscious on how noisy a tree can be if you move even a little bit...
Mabel was also surprised! "Wow...okay..wasn't really expecting you to just confess like that"... Admitted a disoriented Mabel, she then quickly shook it off.
"Well, anyway! Great to hear! What are you planning on doing to win her over?"
"Nothing." Stated Dipper flatly. "Oh, that's- Wait, what?" Asked a confused Mabel.
Dipper sighs. "Come on Mabel...not only is she older than me...she's also way out of my league!"
"Still...your not going to do anything?" Asks Mabel in disbelief, this was so unlike Dipper!
Dipper sighed. "Mabel I'm not going to make Wendy feel uncomfortable just for something that's never going to happen anyway." He states forlornly.
Dipper sighs. "Wendy's a great person...and a great friend...And I should be happy with just that." Said Dipper while pausing to brush a tear drop from his eye.
"But your NOT happy with this." Stated Mabel. Dipper shook his head. "Trust me Mabel, anything else is a lost cause." Stated Dipper with a certainty that unnerved both girls.
Mabel frowns. We'll see about that... She thinks to herself as she concocts a plan. "Mabel if I even suspect you of pushing us into a closet together I'll tell everyone what you do during Full moon nights!" Shouts Dipper suddenly.
Mabel flustered. "What!? How'd you know what I was thinking!? Also, empty threat! You do that and I'll tell everyone about your internet history!"
"Fine, I don't care. Wendy's more important!" Stated a determined Dipper.
Mabel jaw dropped to the floor! "Wait, what!? But your...why would you...do you realize"... She then sighed in defeat. "Okay fine...you win...but this just seems wrong to me"...
Despite the awkward situation. Wendy can't help but feel flattered at how high an opinion Dipper seemed to have of her...And touched for Dipper's consideration for her feelings. These were just some of the many conflicted emotions that were flowing through her.
Wow...Dipper is really mature for his age... Thinks Wendy to herself impressed. She then leans over to take a closer look at Dipper's retreating form. I wonder if-
CRACK!
Next thing Wendy knows. She's flat on her face in front of two very startled twins. She chuckles nervously. "Uh, hey guys." She ventures awkwardly. "So...uh...Nope, no way to recover." She admits in resignation.
A mortified Dipper quickly tries to run; old, painful memories rising up once more within his soul...
"Dipper, wait!" Shouts both girls as they run after him. Frantically Dipper runs into the clearing. But he's so focused on not letting the girls catch up to him-
CRASH!
-that he doesn't see the teens until he smacks into them, he flounders as he falls on top of the monolith. His hand lands on the hand print...which then glows and encases his hand in stone.
Dipper frantically tries to pull out...but it's all in vain...the Jellies begin to respond to the monoliths influence...and they begin their dance...and song...
You never go
You're always here (suffocating me)
Under my skin
I cannot run away
Fading slowly
Everyone was shocked! The jellies were using their color and movements to make pictures...pictures of Wendy! Impossible pictures of Wendy!
I'd give it all to you
Letting go of me
Reaching as I fall
I know it's already over now
Nothing left to lose
Loving you again
I know it's already over, already over now
Wendy was getting hit by a ball! Over and over again!
My best defense,
Running from you (cost me everything!)
I can't resist, take all you want from me
Breaking slowly
Wendy was in tears! And yelling at Dipper!
I'd give it all to you
Letting go of me
Reaching as I fall
I know it's already over now
A five year old Wendy and Tambry are talking to a flustered Dipper!
Nothing left to lose
Loving you again
I know it's already over, already over now!
Wendy is beating up a shape-shifting monster!
You're all I'm reaching for
It's already over
All I'm reaching for!
It's already over now
Wendy is punching out an enormous Biker guy!
I'd give it all to you
I offer up my soul
It's already over, already over now!
Wendy jumps on a flying Eyeball and makes it attack a giant monster!
Give it all to you
Letting go of me
Reaching as I fall
I know it's already over now
Dipper cries over what appears to be Wendy's unmoving body...
Nothing left to lose
Loving you again!
Wendy comforts Dipper on top of a log...
I know it's already over now!
It's already over now!
Wendy and Dipper exchange hats...
I know it's already over, already over...
And just as quickly as it started...the song ended...
Everyone was stunned silent...Dipper(finally free of the monolith) runs away crying into the woods.
"Uh...what just happened here?" Asked a now very weirded out Lee. No one answered...Mabel and Wendy are quick to shake it off and run after Dipper...not knowing what else to do...the teens reluctantly follow after them...
…..
"Dipper! Where are you!?" Shouts Tambry as she searches. Suddenly she hears a rustle in a nearby bush. "Dipper?" Asks Tambry out loud as she brushes the bush aside...revealing a bunch of men standing over a naked woman who's had her breasts, uterus, nose, and intestines slashed off!
"You've stumbled into Ripper territory poor girl." Says the group leader as he activates his switch blade and points it at the now terrified girl. "Now we gotta bake you into a pie."...

TO BE CONTINUED?
This song is 'Already Over' by 'Red'
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
