Elf Queen 4

Disclaimer: I do not own

Many eyes shielded themselves, before grins appeared.

"It appears our suspicions were correct, by sunset tomorrow, we'll claim her."

The three 16 year olds screamed in pain when the light burned their corneas. Just as soon as it came, it disappeared leaving everything hazy in Dipper's vision.

"What the hell was that?" Andy demanded, looking between the twins. Her eyes were pinpricks due to either the light or fear.

I don't know, but let's do it again. Why did no one tell us that would happen on our birthday!?" Mabel shouted happily, but Dipper could tell she was slightly disturbed and afraid.

Dipper was confused too, what happened? Did Gideon crash the party? Did someone move or tear something they weren't supposed to? Did Bill…wait Bill! He could ask Bill what happened.

"Maybe it was a freak power surge, I'll go downstairs and look at the breaker." Dipper lied for Andy's benefit and scuttled downstairs.

He found that Jeff and Mermando were awake and looking a little nervous, Rumble and Giffany just looked confused, and Bill-Bill looked like someone had told him Christmas was coming tomorrow and he'd get a biting coat with lasers.

Dipper walked right up to Bill and demanded, "What the heck just happened!? We were just watching the clock and Wham! We were blinded by light. Did you replace the light bulbs with a lighthouse beacons again?"

"As tempting as that coat and lights sounds, Pine Tree. I had nothing to do with it this time. You may have better luck questioning those two," he pointed to Jeff and Mermando who gulped, "I personally hadn't had to deal with them as long as they did."

Dipper turned his glare to the two and placed his fists on his hips, "Well? Something you'd 2 like to share with me?"

Mermando gulped again and shoved Jeff forward before wheeling his tank on wheels away shouting, "My people only had minimum contact with them, he'd explain it better then I. Also, send my love to your sister!" Dipper raised an eyebrow at Jeff, who sighed. "Look, we had nothing to do with it; we just know what may have caused it."

"And?"

"Look! We can't talk about it without risking our species safety; they've gone crazy since they hadn't had a Queen in the last 250 years! They will do anything to get her this time around, even if they have to wipe out another species to do it!" Jeff cried in frustration, surprising Dipper.

"Whoa, what are 'they', a species of super-gnomes?"

"No, boy! They're…" Jeff looked out the window as if expecting a legion of monsters were about to jump through it and leaned closer to Dipper's ear and whispered, "Elves." He quickly slapped a hand over Dipper's mouth to prevent him from saying anything.

"I know it sounds crazy, but the elves are an ancient race even older then gnomes or mermaids! They've been here even before Trembley and or any humans for that matter settled here! They are dangerous and if they feel that you're a threat, then not even Death can save you." Jeff then shuddered and ran out the house in a deer head.

"Well, seems like you, Shooting Star, and Artemis here have gotten into something I wouldn't touch with a 50 foot fun stick!" Bill said happily taking seat on Dipper's shoulder. Dipper frowned to himself and muttered.

"Jeff said something about a Queen, are they going to kidnap someone to marry?"

"Close Pine Tree, but no marriage necessary, color changes with boiling lava."

"But why are they stalking the Mystery Shack?"

"Hmm, ask your network and reflect on your well-kept secret."

Dipper glances sharply at the triangle, who gave the impression of a cheeky smile. "It's not a secret, if people in this town can't tell the difference, then it's their fault they didn't know." Dipper said defensively.

"Sure, if more people can tell the difference form a tired person then a 'lay-around' then more people would know about them. Also, even I couldn't figure out your secret when you let me 'barrow' your body."

"I still have scars."

"And you say that like I care. Whelp, look at the time, I must be going, Reality is a hologram and buy gold."

Bill then disappeared with a flash. Dipper shook his head and went back upstairs to reassure the girl's that everything is fine and to get to sleep. As Dipper lay down on the cot, he promised himself to check with the lay-around to get information in the morning.

He just hoped it won't be a repeat with the zombies.

A/N: I'm not too proud of this chapter, it'll be better next chapter, I'll explain what lay-around's are next time.
