Chapter 2

Mabel's PoV

"Pazzow Pazzow!", I yelled. "I'm on FIRE today! This is the fifth online account made in a day!"

I went to my inbox and verified my accounts on Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube. Now, I was taking over the internet under the name '..x-SparklySweaters-x..'

"Hey Dipper!", I shouted across the living room at Dipper, who was also typing away. "How many accounts did you make?"

Dipper shrugged. "Two."

"Only two!?", I gasped. "Dipper, we haven't been able to do social networking, like, EVER! Don't you want to do awesome shenanigans all over the internet?"

Dipper sighed. "Mabel, being online isn't all fun and games. I want to play it safe so that I don't get overwhelmed."

"You're no fun", I grumbled. Dipper could be as worry-warty as he wanted. I was going to be as adventurous as I want on the web!

I decided to start of with Instagram. I uploaded a photo of Waddles and I. For the caption, I wrote:

Helloooo Instagram! This is me, Mabel, and I was dumped in Gravity Falls, Oregon, for the summer. Next to me is my awesome pig Waddles! ISN'T HIS FACE SO FAT!? Anyway, like if you want to see embarrassing photos of my brother!

~ ..x-Sparklysweaters-x..

I then put basic hashtags (I will get creative later!) and clicked 'Upload'. Soon enough, my first post was complete.

Immediately, I had a follow from someone called Tyrone-the-Awesome. Hmm...sounds like Dipper. The user had also left a comment, and I decided to read it.

Mabel! What did I tell you about putting up personal photos on the Internet! There are CREEPERS who might try to stalk you online! And what do you mean, 'put up embarrassing photos of my brother"!? Have you no respect for my rights!?

I can get you banned, you know. Have a nice day!

I looked up from my iPod and saw Dipper glaring at me and rolling his eyes. I stuck out my tongue and looked back at my iPod. I followed Dipper's account and waited for another update.

Soon enough, another user, under the name heylookitsCD678 followed me. They also commented on my post. They wrote:

Hey, Sparkly! You have an adorable pig :). My name is Cliche, and I am a 14-year old girl, and I live in Gravity Falls! I am a sort of internet junkie and know LOTS about the world wide web. I hope to chat with you later!

P.S: Tell your brother to lighten up.

I laughed and watched Dipper across the room. He must have seen the post made by Cliche, and was responding to it. There was a new comment by Tyrone-the-Awesome in about 3 seconds.

heylookitsCD678: I was simply concerned for Mabel's well being. With all the drama online, I worry for a good reason.

There was an instant reply from Cliche:

Tyrone-the-Awesome: 'Sok. There are some...disturbing...things online, but you shouldn't worry so much about SparklySweaters. Should we each follow each other?

I grinned at the idea and typed in, "Okay!" Now, Dipper had 2 followers and Cliche had 58. Being online was going to be fun!

AN: Here is chapter 2!

I am so grateful for all the reviews. I mean, 4 good authors comment on my first cruddy chapter? THANK YOU ALL! Here are some aquedate bars for EVERYONE!
