Book of Gravity ch. 4
I OWN AND REGRET NOTHING!
…...
Wendy was furious! Dipper isn't here!? Snapped both her and La Muerte.
Xibalba again held out his hands in a placating way. "Before you get your
dander up the unfortunate "bureaucratic error" that sent dipper to the land of
the forgotten ,only sent him to the outskirts, to limbo. My realms equivalent of
a waiting room if you will. Nothing nasty there...mostly." La Muerte gave a
relieved sigh. "Well that's not too bad then...is it safe to assume this
"bureaucratic error" won't clear up until after you've won the wager?" Xibalba
smiled deviously. Well, bureaucracy's are a tricky thing...not to mention how
packed my schedule is-" "Oh, Balby why must you do this!?" Shouted La
Muerte irritated. Xibalba chuckled. "Come on my dear, I thought my rascally
nature is what won you over all those years ago!" La Muerte rolled her eyes
then gave a chuckle of amusement. "Well, yes...yes it was" "Oh for the love of-
When you two love birds are done clucking. I'll be rescuing my best friend!"
Shouted an irritated Wendy as she stormed off. La Muerte quickly followed.
"Wait my dear! If your doing this I insist that you bring help with you! The
path to the land of the forgotten is wrought with peril and suffering!" Wendy
looked at her. "So you'll help me?" La Muerte shook her head. "Sadly no, it's
against the ancient rules...But I can take you to people who can help you!"
Wendy looked her confused. "Really? But who down here would want to help
me?" La Muerte smiled knowingly. "My dear, your in the land of the "dead". As
in everyone who is ever died is down here." Wendy still looked confused...then
her eye's widened in realization...
…...
Xibalba looked on as the girls talked. Xibalba knew he'd gone too far. He knew
that his schemes had caused more problems then it was worth. He also knew
how unbelievably lucky he was that his wife wasn't more angry at him! If ever
there was time to call it a day it was now!...And yet...
…...
La Muerte laughed as she looked behind her. "What? What is it?" Asked a
confused Wendy. "Oh, Balby is going through his usual inner turmoil of:
"knowing he's gone too far and wanting to call it a day" V.S. "his inner
trickster". Right on que Xibalba vanished! "And as usual, his inner trickster
wins." La Muerte sighed. "That man will be the second death of me...But I
love him anyway!" Wendy gave her a look of disbelieving horror. "What? It's
called being in love!" "No, that's what you call being insane!" "Meh, same thing"...
