With nothing better to do, Mabel sat on her bed in the attic, combing her new doll's think blonde hair which certain highlights shone like gold whenever the sun hit it.
"You're just so cute! I know you make Dipper uncomfortable, but you're absolutely adorable!" Mabel's spoke to her doll, fighting back the giggles at how silly she knew she was being. "If he doesn't like you, I'm sorry but I do! He can't try dictate my life, sometimes I'm gonna do things he doesn't like and vice-versa."
"I love you!" Giddy-Kiddy laughed.
"Awww! And I do too!" Mabel laughed, hugging it. "In fact, I think I may even more than Bear-O! And that's a lot!"
"I'm Giddy, ha ha! Let's play!" The doll laughed.
"Hmmmm, play what?" Mabel asked, despite knowing she wouldn't get a response as the doll only said a few phrases.
After a long awkward silence, Mabel then tried her best to imamate the Giddy-Kiddy dolls robotic childs voice. "I think we should play hide and clap!" Hide and clap had been one of Mabel's favourite games since she was a young child, the game was a blend of two games she adored - Hide and seek and blind mans buff. The only problem was you needed to people to play it with, and inanimate objects like dolls didn't count.
"But who are gonna play it with it? We need at least one more person." Mabel resumed her normal voice. "Hey, Dipper!"
Dipper slowly walked up the stairs, sighing to himself and dreading what shenanigans Mabel needed assistance with this time. "Yes Mabel?"
"Will you play a game with me and my doll?" Mabel innocently asked.
"Sorry Mabel, no!" Dipper replies, turning around.
"What?! Why not?" Mabel asks, more demanding this time.
"I...uh...have work to do? Stan wants me? Uh...Wendy?" Dipper stutters, unable to come up with a good excuse.
"Buzz! Wrong!" Mabel playfully shouts. "Today is Wendy's day off, she's not here! And business has never been slower, let alone the fact the shack is closing in half an hour! What's the real reason you don't wanna spend time with your loveable twin sister."
"Well, honestly Mabel? It's that doll!" Dipper points. "I can't stand it, it scares me!"
"It's just a doll, Dipper, besides we were gonna play "Hide and clap" so you wouldn't really have to look at the doll." Mabel tried to persuade her stubborn twin brother.
"Hide and clap?" Dipper stopped and thought. He hadn't played that game in years, but when he did with his sister there was many good memories. Dipper sighed and caved in for the second time that day. "Fine, one round."
"Yay!" Mabel jumped up and cheered as the Giddy-Kiddy doll giggled. Dipper shuddered.
Mabel picked up a pink sparkly scarf of hers and tied around Dipper's eyes. "Can you see?"
"No, but some of the glitter's coming off and going up my nose!"
"Okay, good. So I'll spin you five times and then you carry on for another five, then you come find me and my Giddy-Kiddy. You get three claps." Mabel explained.
"Mabel, how is your doll supposed to clap?" Dipper asked.
"Well, I'll be near it." Mabel lied. "So let's begin."
Mabel span Dipper round five times, counting as she did so then ran as Dipper carried on spinning by himself.
"Oh by the way Dipper we're both going downstairs!" Mabel called.
"What?" Dipper fearfully called. The game was hard enough without having to go down a ladder blindfolded. But slowly, Dipper made it down on to the first floor hall way. "First clap!"
He then heard a clap that sounded like it came from down in the parlour, Dipper then ventured down in hope of finding his "older" sister. Stood in the middle of the room Dipper shouts again. "Second clap!" This one sounding like it came from one of the corners of the room. Dipper makes his way to that part of the room and feels were a closet is.
"Aha!" Dipper thinks, with his ear pressed against the door. "Third clap!" Sure enough, a clap came from within the closet. "I've got her now." Dipper thought as he opened the closet doors.
"Got you Mabel!" Dipper called as he reached into the closet, but was left with silence. Dipper reached into the closet further and further until something heavy hits him directly in the stomach, knocking him backwards to the floor.
"What the-?!" Dipper moans in pain and pulls his blindfold off to see the Giddy-Kiddy doll sitting up straight, facing him, but with his normally innocent face now in an evil glare. Dipper lets out a terrified scream and knocks the doll as far away from him as he can.
"Dipper?" Mabel runs in, to her brother's side. "What's wrong? I heard you scream?" Mabel frets over her brother. "You look hurt! What happened?"
"The doll!" Dipper whispers.
"What?"
"That doll!" Dipper cries. "It...I don't know...I think it...attacked me?"
Mabel then looks at her brother with concern and empathy. "The doll, attacked you?" She repeats.
"It was in the closet and was clapping...so I thought it was you." Dipper tells Mabel. "Don't look at me like that! I'm not making it up."
"I know," Mabel tries to comfort Dipper. "Perhaps it was just nerves? And, you know, you did have a blindfold on, that could have contributed to it."
"Yeah, maybe." Dipper agreed, but he knew that something was wrong with that doll, something connected to Gideon's death. And he was going to prove it before anything else could go wrong.
"I'm Giddy! Ha, ha! Let's play!"
"Let's play indeed." Dipper muttered to himself, eyes fixed on the satanic doll.
So, tensions rise between Dipper and the doll/Gideon :) Also I've decided that each chapter is going to have a reference to a horror movie that will be revealed next chapter, for extra fun:) So last chapter's movie would be Child's play 1, let's see if you can guess this chapter's :) It should be easy, most the chapter was dedicated to it :)
Review please :D
