Okay, I've decided to upload the next chapter and lower the amount of reviews to five. Ten is a bit farfetched. Anyway, I'd like to thank fan-like-irving, matthew. , and DisneyFingerzXD for reviewing.
Without further ado, here is chapter two:
Two
When Dipper woke up, the first thing he saw was the sky. It didn't look like much time had passed.
He sat up groggily and looked at the mall. There was a dark aura surrounding the building and in front of the entrance to the food court was black fire.
The parking lot was completely empty except for a few ghosts that flew in and out of the mall, ignoring Dipper.
Remembering his fight from earlier, Dipper got up and ran back to the Mystery Shack.
At about 1:15, Dipper finally arrived at the tourist shop.
He opened the front door to see Soos and Mabel casually talking to Phineas, Ferb, two other boys and a girl. The other kids looked about Phineas and Ferb's age.
"Hey Dipper, you missed all the fun!" exclaimed Mabel. "This is Phineas, Ferb, Baljeet, Buford and Isabella. They also have a platypus!"
"That's great," said Dipper without any enthusiasm. He sat down next to the door.
"Hey, where's Wendy?" asked Soos. "Wasn't she with you?"
"Yes, she was!" said Dipper as he widened his eyes. "Did she ever return or even contact you?"
"No," replied Mabel. "Did something happen to her?"
"Maybe," said Dipper. "This is very bad!"
"What happened?" asked Isabella.
Dipper took a deep breath, stood up, and walked to the others. "Before I tell you, you should know that Gravity Falls is a very … unusual town."
Dipper opened his mouth to speak, but a teenage girl that looked somewhat like Phineas (minus the triangle head) came from the back of the store and joined the conversation.
"So what's going on here?" asked the girl.
"Hey, Candace," said Mabel. "Dipper was getting ready to tell us what happened on his date with Wendy."
"It wasn't a date," said Dipper. Then quietly, "I wish it was"
"Whether it was a date or not, can you tell us what happened?" asked Ferb.
Dipper told the others what happened starting with the arrival of the Ghost Prince and ending with the Ghost Prince kicking him out. When Dipper got to the fight, he briefly touched on it saying that he was badly outnumbered and lost. He really didn't want to go into details about his loss.
After finishing, Baljeet asked, "So this town has ghosts?"
"This town has a lot of mythical creatures," said Dipper. "Ghosts included."
Suddenly, the door to the Mystery Shack opened and Lil' Gideon strolled in. Dipper glowered at Lil' Gideon. "What are you doing here?"
Gideon sighed. "Now, Dipper Pines, we could sit here and continue our rivalry," he said. "But let's just cut to the chase. I know that you need my help in defeating those ghosts. And I am willing to help you."
"How would you know about the ghosts?" asked Dipper suspiciously.
Lil' Gideon took a deep breath. "I'm the one who released the ghosts and told them your name," he said.
"WHAT?!" snapped Dipper. "This is your fault?! Then we shouldn't be helping you. This is your problem! You should be fighting the ghosts! Not us!"
Lil' Gideon glared at Dipper. "You don't understand the seriousness of the situation! You don't understand what these ghosts are capable of. And I'm gonna let you find out the hard way. And when you do… I'll be waiting!"
Lil' Gideon backed out of the Mystery Shack and closed the door.
"Who was that wacko?" asked Candace.
"Lil' Gideon," replied Dipper. "Our family's arch rival and Mabel's ex-boyfriend."
"I prefer not to remember those days," said Mabel as if she was about to throw up.
Then, the door swung open again and a ghost tall ghost wearing a blue sergeant's uniform stood in the doorway with six ghosts behind him that were about the same height he was, standing in a 2x3 rectangle wearing what looked like a US Army uniform, but red.
"Search the joint and break anything if you have to, soldiers" said the lead ghost. "We're not leaving until we've got it."
The ghosts behind the one in the front snapped their right arm in a salute. "Yes, Sergeant Nick!"
Dipper stepped towards the ghost sergeant.
"What do you think you're doing?" he snapped. "You haven't taken over Gravity Falls! You have no right to break in and just take something!"
Nick stepped forward and bent down to dipper's height. "We may not have control of the upper world yet," he said. "But we plan to and we are following a flawless plan that the Ghost Prince has made to free the Ghost Queen and the Ghost King. There is something in this dismal gift shop that could cause us to have to… readjust."
Grunkle Stan came out of the hallway that connected the Mystery Shack to the house wearing his typical undershirt and boxers. "Who do you think you are making ruckus like that!" he said. "If you don't leave in the next twenty seconds, I'll fight you!"
Dipper whirled around and looked at his great uncle. "Grunkle Stan, no!" he shouted.
Nick summoned two blue balls of energy and said, "I don't have time for scoundrels like you!"
He threw one of the energy balls at Stan that blasted him back into the house. Dipper heard a crash.
"Stan!" said Soos. He hurried after Grunkle Stan.
Dipper turned around to look at Sergeant Nick who was smiling evilly. Another ball of energy had replaced the one he had thrown.
"Let's dance!" he said.
Can Dipper win this fight vs. Nick? Find out in Chapter Three after I get five reviews.
