Dipcifica: Awkward as it gets

Chapter 3

Pacifica

Me and Dipper walked arm in arm, ever so slowly, deeper in the cave. Our path lit by the glow from the crystals. We collected any of them that lay on the floor and put them into a sack that Dipper brought.

Normally, I would really want to get to know a guy before holding on to him as I did to Dipper. I counted this as an exception, because, well…., I've never really been in the woods my entire life, I kinda limit myself to just the town. Dipper knows the woods well, even if he's just been here a bit over a month, and I trust him, not to the degree of my life, but to the degree that he can protect me from any other surprises.

"The map says that the main room of the cavern is straight ahead, c'mon" said Dipper with his voice cracking at map, and main. And I just couldn't help but giggle, just a little.

"What's so funny?"

"It's just the way your voice cracks from time to time, it just cracks me up (ba dup, tsss)"

"I find it really annoying and embarrassing, I actually told a story about it to my uncle, Soos, and Mabel"

"Well I've been taught to speak clearly, and without flaw. Maybe I can give you voice lessons sometime?"

"Sure, thanks for the offer. Hey, I think we're here!"

And he was right, before the two of us was a giant part of the cavern where every square foot of rock was lined with crystals (and I though my mom had a lot of jewelry). A small creek flowed around a center crystal that was bigger than the rest. A I cannot say how long it was because all we saw was the edge of the crystal, but it was around six meters wide. On top of it was even more astonishing, not because it was massive, but it defied gravity. A crystal about the size of a Coca-Cola bottle lay vertically suspended in mid-air, pulsing from red to green to blue and back to red.

"Is this what we came for?" I asked

"Yes it is"

"We should probably grab it then?"

"The journal says nothing about what happens if we take the crystal, go for it"

The journal really needed to say something about what happened if the crystal was taken

As soon as I moved it, there was a blinding white flash. Both of us quickly shielded our eyes. When we opened them again, the cave began shaking, rock and crystal began raining down on us.

"QUICK, LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!" Dipper yelled

"NO #&$ !"

We ran as fast I we could, I had to push along Dipper because I could run faster than him and he just couldn't keep up. The cave shook again, and a large rock landed on my shoulder and leg.

"AAARGH" I shouted and then fell

Dipper picked me up and I started limping as fast as I could as I held onto Dipper's shoulder

"There's the exit!" I exclaimed, as I saw the familiar, but dim, sight of shrubbery and trees

We moved faster and faster as the exit got bright and larger. But then suddenly, the cave shook violently one final time and a large pile of rocks fell in front of us, cutting off our only way out.

Hope you guys enjoyed that chapter. I apologize for the profanity there, I'll try to keep it more child friendly in the next few chapters. Like last time, leave suggestions for what you guys want to see next, it's possible I may use them in future chapters. Thanks for reading guys and stick around for some new stories! See ya!
