Dipper 1st
I was coming back home to the Mystery Shack when a guy handed me a flyer. He had light brown skin, very messy curly black hair, wire rimmed glasses, and brown eyes. He was about 5"6 and had a stack of flyers. He was wearing a pinstriped black button down shirt, faded black pants and black Nikes. He looked young, like 14, 15.
"Here little man," he said. "Bring yourself and your friends to the town square tonight. Its going to be fricken epic!"
"Umm… why?"
"Dude, seriously? Read the flyer."
So I did. It said and I quote; Come to the Tribute Trans –continental tore. Green day, Nickelback, 3 doors down, Nirvana and much much more. 3 days only in the Gravity Falls Oregon area. It had a picture of him and a bunch of other people on it on stage. He was center stage at the mike and had a guitar.
"Tribute? What is this, is 3 doors down really coming over?!" 3 doors down is one of my all time favorite bands of all time!
"Umm… no. You see me and my band have no creativity what so ever so we play other peoples songs, we've gotten pretty famous over the years so we decided to start toreing. We're calling ours selves 'A nameless band'. This is my last show before I take a break for a while. Come on I'll even give you backstage passes and you can meet the crew mister…."
"Oh um Dipper, Dipper Pines. Sure I'll bring my sister and friends over, I heard Wendy is a big Nirvana fanatic."
"Oh a girl ay? Well I'll dedicate umm… lets see now, 'About a girl' to her and tell the crowd it was from you! She'll love it and what's more she'll love you, little man.
"Oh no, um she's not my girlfriend, plus she's like 15."
"Oh how old are you?"
"12"
"Ok you are old enough to come to this concert. Here, how many people are you bringing?"
He reached into his back pocket and pulled out a note pad. "Oh um… 5." He wrote something down 5 times on individual notes, and handed them to me. It said Backstage pass good for one person. Then it had a loopy signature that took me a second to decipher. Michael Jimenez
"You pronounce the J like you say Jalapeno," says Michael
"Oh are you Mexican?"
"Yes, now it starts at 8 and you might want to bring ear plugs."
"Really?"
"No not really, but you might want to want to go and get ready its 5 now."
He then walked past me and handed out flyers to strangers on the street, sparking up a small conversation with them. I looked at the flyer and ran home.
At the Mystery Shack
"Hay! Soos, Mable, Wendy! Come here a second. I got some thing to show you!"
After I yelled that, the all came in to the check –out counter.
"What is it Dipper?" asked Mable
"Yah, what's with all the hub-ub?" said Soos with his funny puns.
"This better be good," threatened Wendy
"Guess who just got back stage passes to A nameless band, THIS GUY!"
"What you talking about?" asked Mable. So I told them of the encounter with Michael and showed them the flyer and backstage passes.
"OOOoooohhhh, I've heard of this band, they were on MTV the other day," said Wendy.*
"Yah, and I kind of got the lead singer to dedicate a song to you. From me, played by him, to you," I said while making hand gestures as I spoke the last sentence.
"Oh really! What song?"
"Umm… what did he call it… Oh! About a girl, by Nirvana." She responded to this by giving me a bone crushing hug. "OWOWOWOWOWOWOWOw, your crushing my wind pipe Wendy!" I gasped.
"Sorry," she said letting me go. After we all went about our business, and I went to go and ask Grunkle Stan for a ride. He agreed non-shalontly and we were set.
7:50PM Town Square
The place was packed. It looked like the towns population swelled twice its size, in fact some of the people around us didn't look like locals. I saw a guy that had a I Love NY t-shirt. Huh, guess they did get pretty famous. The block infront of the mayors office was just a simple turnaround circular street with a statue of a man standing on a rock pointing to something off in the distance. And at that moment a wooden stage was set up around it, with a bunch of sound and lighting equipment and a drum set.
"So what is this Michael character like Dipper?" asked Mable, her cheeks was a little redder than usual.
"I wouldn't even think about it Mable, he's like 3 or 4 years older than us."
"Awww, I mean which one is he on the poster?"
I got it out of my pocket and unfolded it. "Ummm, this one," I said pointing to him singing with a guitar.
"Hmmm, he doesn't look particularly cute, but I want to see him up close!"
"You'll get your chance we have back stage passes. Come on lets get up their." We made our way through the crowd, me, Mable, Wendy, Soos, and Grunkle Stan, man this place was packed. When we got to the stage we showed a bouncer the notes. He took them, and rolled his eyes muttering something that sounded like classic him. He ushered us around the back of the stage and saw him. He was standing their talking to some people. One was a boy about his age with neat, short black hair and porcelain white skin. Another was a girl with bright flaming red hair, green blue eyes, and very pail skin. And the last was a chubby kid with hazel eyes, dirty blond hair, and freckles. The bouncers took us up to them.
"Umm Michael, your guests are here."
"Hmm, oh hay Dipper!" he exclaimed. "So you actually did decide to come. And who might this pretty lady be?" He said motioning to Mable. Weard.
"Umm this is my twin Mable."
"Oh fraternal eh. And since this is your sister, this lovely young lady must be Wendy," he said motioning to her. His friends, who I have realized were the other people on the flyer, rolled their eyes at his back. Huh he must act like this all the time. "So, Dipper kind of requested that I play you a song-"
"Yah he told me, a Nirvana song."
"Right, umm I'm not gonna play it until after our opening, so… second song?"
"Perfect."
Right then his watch started beeping. He looked at it. "Five minute reminder. Yall ready?" he asked his band mates. They nodded. "Alright so introductions, my name is Michael, this guy is Jeremy," he said motioning to the black haired kid, he nodded and smiled. "She's Cassandra, although she likes to be called 'Red' for some reason." The girl blushed and went to go and tune a bass. "And last but not least, this little ball of fluff is Tanner."
The other guy blushed a little and wined, "Don't call me that, it's bad enough you got Red doing it all the time, but now in front of complete strangers. Come on man, lets get out their."
"Yah, yah in a minute. So… who are the old guys?" he asked pointing to Soos and Stan.
"Oh this is Soos," I sad motioning one hand to him. He smiled wide and waved. "And this is Grunkle Stan," I said motioning the other to him.
"Um Grunkle?"
"Its great unkle mixed together."
"Ooooohhhhhhh. Wellp hope you don't have heart attack old man."
Smiling he went to go and tune a guitar. That's when Stan sighed and said, "Man I can't beleved you talked me in to doing this. When is it gonna end?"
"Later"
"You know what?" asked Mable. Wendy went over to talk to Michael. "I don't know what it is, he's not particularly cute, handsome maybe, but something about his eyes is just… dreamy." I slapped my forehead and sighed. Michael was talking with Wendy and stared walking to the front of the stage.
"ALRIGHT, every body ready!" His band mates cheered with him, with their instruments, and in Tanners case a pair of drum sticks, the walked behind the statue. We fallowed. "Alrighy then, TURN OF SOME OF THE LIGHTS." Almost instantly some of the overhead lights switched off, and like a signal the crowed stated going nuts. "Alright, were gonna start with welcome to paradice, come on lets go." The bouncer came with a cable, and Michael took it and plugged it in to his guitar. Instantly their was some major feedback and with it screeching through the air the crown went wild, he silenced it by hitting a power chord, and a few high notes. He walked up to the mike, crowd screaming and spoke to them.
"Alright this is the best small town that I have ever been to! And I have been to hundreds of them!" The crowd went nuts going hungry over his figure. And I have to admit even my heart was starting to pump faster. "You know small towns can be called many things, like, for example boonies, slang for the boondocks and not the show! Back water towns or paradise." The crowed went absolutely wild when he said that. "In fact when I get old and is a famous successful doctor, I'll come and live in a town like this." Another pause to let the crowd get their screaming out of their system. "In fact I'm gonna be living here for the rest of the summer. Yah I'm gonna take a break from all of this fame and road food, and I'm gonna live like a regular teenager for once." More screeming. "And to dedicate this moment with you, were gonna play a song called 'Welcome to paradise'."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ He then started to play the guitar, the drum metal, and bass joined him afterwards. Then he started singing.
Dear mother, can you hear me whining? It's been 3 whole weeks since that I have left your home. This sudden fear has left me trembling/Cause now it feels that I am out here on my own. And I'm feeling so alone. The crowd goes wild and their having fun on stage I feel my foot tapping along with the music.
Pay attention to the cracked streets, and the broken homes/Some call it slums some call it nice/I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home. More drums. Welcome to paradise. They jump around on stage for a few seconds and continue. A gunshot rings out at the station/Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own/It makes me wonder why I'm still here/For some strange reason it's now feels like home/And I'm never gonna go!/Pay attention to the cracked streets, and the broken homes/Some call it slums some call it nice/I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home/Welcome to paradise! He then stops and Red continues the bass line.
Michael walks over to the drums and picks up a water bottle and drinks it. The bass line still going he pores some on his head, recaps it and then goes back to playing and singing.
Dear mother, can you hear me laughing/Its been six whole months since that I have last left your home/It makes me wonder why I am still here/For some strange reason its now feeling like my home/And I'm never gonna go/ Pay attention to the cracked streets, and the broken homes/Some call it slums some call it nice/I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home/Welcome to paradise! It ends with some mis matched chords and a beat of drums.
"Woooh man that was awesome. Now I want to pause for a moment, I kind of promised a 12 year old boy that I would dedicate and do a song for a girl he knows. Please welcome to the stage, Dipper Pines, and Wendy… I don't know her last name but come on up here Wendy and Dipper!" The crowd went wild and we went up to stand next to Michael. A couple of bouncers came and took their guitars and bass and switched them with acoustical ones. "Now this song is called 'About a girl'. Lyrics by Nirvana, performed by us, from Dipper's heart to you." He then grabbed a chare and passitioned the microphone to meet his voice
~~~~~~~~~~ He then strummed a few chords and sang.
I need an easy friend ,I do with a ear to lend/I don't think you, fit this shoe/I do, won't you have a clue/I'll take advantage while, you hang me out to dry/But I can't see you every night/FREEEEE
I DOOO
I'm standing in your lane/I do hope you have the time/I do pick a number too/I do keep a date with you/ I'll take advantage while, you hang me out to dry/But I can't see you every night/FREEEEE/I doooooo.
Then he went into the main rift, swiveling in his chair for a minute or so.
I need an easy friend ,I do with a ear to lend/I don't think you, fit this shoe/I do, won't you have a clue/ I'll take advantage while, you hang me out to dry/But I can't see you every night/No I can't see you every night/FREEEEEEE/I do/I do/I do/I DOOOOOOOO.
~~~~~~~~~~~The crowd claps and goes wild. "Thank you. You too crowd." They laugh at his corny joke. "Ok this next song has nothing to do with the dedication but this one's called the "Extraordinary girl'."
12:16AM~~~~~~~
We made it back to the Mystery Shack and got out of the car, Mable humming extraordinary girl under her breath. And I can't get the concert out of my head. He ended with 'Come as you are' and said good night. The crowd quickly dispersed after that and we made it home in no time. We were half way to the front door when a car came in. It was a black cameo and was loud and idling. The driver looked like he was staring at his phone in annoyance. Then he got out, and it was Michael! He walked up to us, Mable fidgeting and trying to hide behind me. He stopped and asked Stan, "Do you know where cabin M.S. 45 is? I punched it into my GPS and it took me here."
