Separation Anxiety
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!
…...
It's over...summer is over...we've left Gravity Falls...
Dipper Pines mulled the words around in his mouth...trying to make them more real...but it was so hard...for the first time...well, ever. He'd found a place where he could make friends, where his weirdness was actually a useful skill! Where he felt at home! Where he felt he belonged!
But now...now he was leaving it...how could a person go from preventing the apocalypse...to studying for homeroom?
To think he could've had it all if he'd accepted that apprenticeship-
NO! Don't think that! You did what you had to do for Mabel! She needs you!
In a desperate attempt to get his mind off that unpleasant subject, he reached past his slumbering sibling to his bag and looked through it-
Let's see...my own personal copies of Grunkle Fords Journals...my own journal in the making...Mabel's Grappling hook, miniature copier machine, skeleton key, time-tape, shrink-stone, a improved copy of Mcguckets laptop, percepshroom, Memory-gun, Love potions, mind-control tie, magnet gun, unused alien adhesive, broken remnants of rift container, letter from Wendy...
Dipper heart filled up with joy over the letter signed by all their friends..especially Wendy's signature...
Dipper couldn't help but look at Wendy's prized hat in the mirror as he remembered her parting words; reminding him that he meant a lot to her...
What did she mean by that...I wonder if... Dipper quickly shook his head of that thought...he'd had too much heartache going down that road.
Don't overthink it man...next thing you know you'll be assuming that that heart next to Pacifica's signature means that she likes you...ha! As if!
And yet as he's thinking that...he can't help but also remember how cute she looked in that evening gown-
NO! stop it man! Don't forget how bad you are interpreting these things. Besides, that same logic would suggest that Candy has a thing for me. And she made her feelings very clear to me during that disastrous road-trip...didn't she?
Dipper just shook his head. It was all too ambiguous!...plus...he was getting very tired...and just like that...he was out like a light...
…..
When Dipper woke up. He was surprised to find himself and his bags in the middle of his lawn in Piedmont.
Wha? When did we get here? How'd I get off the bus? And where's Mab-
"Ah! Your finally up! Good! Now we can begin!" Dipper wheeled around to see the most ordinary man he'd ever seen.
"Wha- Who are you?" Asked a confused Dipper.
The man smirked. "The name is Stanley. Stanley Lenderman." He said with a bow. "And I've come here to talk to you about that aptitude test you took before Summer break-
"Aptitude test?" Asked Dipper confused. "I never took a-
"Of course you did boy." Stated Stanley simply as he snaps his fingers. And in that instant all the memories come popping up in Dipper's head.
"Oh, I really did do a test...I guess." Stated Dipper a bit disoriented.
Stanley nodded. "Indeed you did...and you did it well! Congratulations my boy! You've been bumped up several Grades and been given a scholarship!"
"Wait, what!?" Exclaimed Dipper in disbelief.
Suddenly a strange looking bus showed up. Stanley smiled. "Ah! There's the bus that'll take you too the boarding school you'll spend the next year at!"
"What!? A Year!? You can't just- But Dippers cries are ignored as he's hustled inside the bus.
"No time to dally! Busy schedule!" "Wait! You don't understand! I need-
THUMP!
Dipper was interrupted as his bags were thrown to him, knocking the wind out of him. "Right! Here's your bags...oh! And don't forget your pet pig!" Shouts Stanley absentmindedly as he tosses Waddles inside.
"My What!?" Shouts Dipper just as the doors shut. Dipper bangs on them. "Wait, stop! Let me out! This is my sisters pig! Without me and him she'll freak out!" He shouts frantically.
Unfortunately, Stanley gives him the 'can't hear you' gesture. He then bangs on the bus, signaling it to leave. He happily waves as it departs ignoring Dippers increasingly desperate cries.
The instant it leaves from sight. 'Stanley' turns around and walks toward the Pine house. With each step he takes, his human disguise melts away. Revealing Slenderman's true form!
"Alright boys and girls!" Spoke Slenderman to the readers. "Time for a sociological experiment! What happens when you violently rip away a little girls living emotional crutches- one of which she went into a month long depression for and the other she was willing to trap everyone in a never ending time-loop to keep by her side! -without warning?...let's find out!"
Invisible to all, he watches as Mabel wakes up in her bed and is told by her parents...that Dipper and Waddles will be gone for a year without anyway to contact them...maybe longer.
For a moment...Mabel says nothing...then she begins to breathe erratically...then she twitches frantically...then snarls while rabid foam gushes from her mouth...then she collapses...
…...
Slenderman laughs while the paramedics rush her away. He then turns to the audience. "Yes, that's right. I am a jerk!" He pauses to spit on a nearby pedestrians head, who screams as it eats through his flesh. WHATSITTOYA!? He demands...
…...
TO BE CONTINUED?
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
