Yes! Chapter one! If anyone who's a fan of my Warriors story is reading this… yeah, I've no motivation to write on that… I may just delete it, BUT PROBABLY NOT! Oh yeah, there's something that you guys really need to know before I start this… in this story, Grunkle Stan had won in a bet (a bet where Wendy's dad was going to wrestle a grizzly bear. He bet that her dad would win. He did J) for $3,000. Using that money and some of his own money, he built the Mystery Inn! Ok, now let's enter the magical world of narwhals and MORE NARWHALS!
,/'\,~ Dawn's P.O.V. ~,/'\,
"WE'RE HERE! LEIF, GUESS WHAT?! WE'RE HERE!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as I leaped out of our car. Leif followed much more slowly, carrying his bags and one of River's bags (I had the other one).
"MEOW!" River yowled in agreement as she jumped out after me and landed on my suitcase.
"I noticed…" Leif murmured, his nose buried in a video game. He was wearing his favorite shirt, the one that said, "I'M A GEEK. D.W.I.". River caterwauled again.
"Dawn, do you have any control over that cat?!" Mom called from the car.
"Nope! None at all!" I replied. It was a lie, but you know…whatever.
"Dawn! Leif!" I heard a voice call my friend's name and my name. I looked up to see my Aunt and Uncle Oak waving at us from the Mystery Inn entrance.
"Hi!" I ran forward and greeted them, dropping my suitcase and River's bag. I heard the cat make a noise of surprise, but I ignored it. I knew she was fine.
"Hello, Dawn! Long time, no see, huh?" Uncle Oak said, giving me a hug.
"Yep!" I agreed cheerfully, hugging back.
River ran forward and nipped at my legs.
"Ouch! Why, you little-!" I began, then jumped on River. Of course, I was gentle. Even if I was too rough sometimes, my cat could always take it. I love River a lot. She's so nice and playful.
We began wrestling in the dirt, rolling over each other and pushing each other. It was really fun! I was sort of surprised when River managed to shove me off of her. It wasn't really a shove, just a very forceful push, but since I was standing on my hands and knees with her under me, she was able to push me off easily.
Realizing that she was winning, River did what I think is her favorite fighting strategy… FACE-CLINGING!
I scrabbled around frantically in the grass as River wrapped her paws around my face. After a few unsuccessful seconds, I started screaming through her fur. That was what I did when I was defeated (on those rare occasions).
River leapt off and landed lightly on the ground, then sashayed over to her bags, which were now in a pile on top of my luggage. I rolled my eyes and followed her, knowing exactly what she wanted.
When River got to her bags, she started tugging at them with her teeth.
"Chill, River! I got this!" I snapped as I leaned over River's bag and opened it. In it, there was nothing but another bag filled with fish-shaped cat treats. Acting a lot like a dog, River started trying to jump up and take the treats out of my hand. I shoved her down and quickly took out a treat, then flung it towards the door of the Mystery Shack. BAD MOVE. VERY BAD MOVE.
A girl with a bright pink sweater that had a shooting star on it and long brown hair came out of the place. The treat landed right on top of her and stayed there.
"LOOK OUT!" I screamed at her but it was too late. River leaped on top of her, hissing as she tried to reach her treat. I bit my lower lip and got ready to go and get River when I the girl said something…
"OH MY GOSH, I HAVE AN ANIMAL ON MY BODY!" I stopped and stared at the girl, who was not at all fazed by having a big ball of hissing fur on her head.
"Erm... Hey! You! With the cat on your head!" I called out awkwardly. River stopped hissing and sat up on her head, munching on her treat. The girl turned towards me.
"Hi! I'm Mabel! Is this cat yours? She's adorable!" Mabel said cheerfully. I stared at her for a second, thinking, Wow, she reminds me of me!
"I'm Dawn," I told Mabel, "and yes, that's my cat. Her name is River."
"Ok!" Mabel said, still cheerful. River jumped off and sprinted towards me. I was about to prepare for another attack when she ran past me. I stared, confused, as she leapt at Leif. My cat is so insane. I smiled at the thought as I watched Leif scream and drop his game.
Oh my god…
I'm positive I imagined it, but…
I swear, for one second, Leif had fangs.
My friend flung my cat off of him and he picked up his game, scowling. After saying goodbye to Mabel, I grinned at my Uncle and Aunt as if nothing had happened then hastily went to check on River. She was fine, so I picked up my suitcase and River's bags then headed to the Mystery Inn.
Mom had started chatting with Aunt Oak, so I walked up to Uncle Oak and said, "Can you show us to our room?" I pointed at Leif and River.
"Sure." Uncle Oak replied as he turned and walked in to our small hotel.
Our Uncle checked us up, then walked over to a flight of stairs. Apparently, the elevator was under construction.
"What happened to the elevator?" Leif asked Uncle Oak, turning off his game.
"Oh, it was bad. Some poor chap was using it and it just collapsed. Then again, it's not really that big of a surprise, seeing that the owner of this place is a real cheapskate…" Uncle Oak replied, scowling a little bit.
"Who's the owner?" Leif questioned.
"Stanford Pines." Uncle Oak told Leif.
We went up the stairs, being slow because of our luggage, then when we got to the second (which is also the top) floor, we went in to the last room on the left. Even if Mr. Pines was cheap, the room was completely fine. It had air fresheners, air conditioning, four rooms, a TV (but it had bad connection), and even WiFi! That had a password, for some reason! It also had plenty of windows… with ugly curtains.
"Amazing…" Leif said as he scanned the place. "I CALL THE LARGEST BED IN OUR ROOM!"
"NO FAIR!" I shouted as we each dashed in to a room… which happened to be the bathroom. Because I was the last one in there, I got out the fastest, so I was able to run in to another room, which- thankfully -was the right one.
"Ha ha! Yes! It's mine! ALL MINE!" I yelled as I jumped on to the biggest bed. Leif walked in, a scowl on his face, but then grinned when he hopped on to his bed.
"Dawn, my bed is closest to the power outlet." Leif told me, smirking.
"CRAP." I said loudly.
"Dawn!" I jumped out of my skin when I heard my mother's voice sound from the door way.
"Huh?! WHAT?! I DIDN'T DO IT!" I screamed, covering my face with my arms.
Mom rolled her eyes at me and said, "Dawn, I would like you to be on your best behavior while on vacation. So mind your manners, and watch what you say."
"Okie dokie!" I said with a grin.
"Alright, good bye. And same goes for you, young man!" Mom said firmly, looking at Leif.
"Honestly, Mrs. Evergreen," Leif said with a little smile, "when have I ever not been on a good behavior?"
Mom just laughed and waved good bye, then said to my Uncle and Aunt, "I'll see you later. And make sure to call me if those two get in to any trouble!" Mom then briskly walked out of the door.
Uncle and Aunt Oak smiled at us. Uncle Oak said, "You kids know that you can say whatever you want, do whatever you want, and go wherever you want as long as you don't say anything bad, do something destructive, or get lost, right?"
Both of us shook our heads, and Aunt Oak said, "Well, now you know! So go a head and unpack then go and play. Oh yeah, almost forgot to say, there is two twins around your ages that are living in the Mystery Shack for the summer. They are the Pines twins, niece and nephew of Stan Pines. Their names are Mable and Dipper."
"Cool! I met Mable, she's awesome!" I said happily.
"Ok, we'll see you around! We're going to the diner, it's the only not ridiculously fancy one in town, you'll find it easily!" Uncle Oak said, waving good bye. "Have fun!"
They both left, and we started unpacking. I made sure to put River's little cat bed in the corner beside mine. When I was done, Leif was still trying to untangle the chargers of the numerous electric things that he has brought with him, so I leaned back on my bed and just let my mind wonder. Eventually, I started thinking about how Mom had left in such a hurry… and then about Leif's fangs. I looked over at him. He was scowling, trying to untie a particularly tough knot. No, I thought, just, no… I must have imagined it. He probably bit his lower lip and made it look like fangs. Yeah, I definitely imagined it…
Yet even as I told myself that, I couldn't help thinking that it was wrong…
AAAND I'M DONE! Yay, mysterious ending! Ok, Dawn hasn't acted drunk yet. Don't worry, she will, I promise. LOL!
