Chapter 7

The following day, Mabel couldn't wake up. She was deep in sleep and the Pines were worried. "Mabel, why can't you wake up?" asked Dipper.

"She's got a pulse and she's snoring, yet she's in a deep sleep. I bet this is supernatural, and hopefully she's fine." Said Mr. Pines.

"So all we need to do is wait? That's bull." Said Tyrone. "I know, but in the meantime why don't we check the Journal. We might find something useful. I know I read about this." Said Dipper.

Mr. Pines, Dipper and Tyrone went downstairs to get the three journals and Mrs. Pines stayed behind, waiting for Mabel to wake up.

An hour had passed and Mabel was still asleep. Mr. Pines was reading as many journal entries as he could to find anything related to sleep. Dipper was ready to pull his hair. "This is stupid! I don't see anything that can help." Said Dipper.

"Don't lose it son. We will find something. I just know it." Said Mr. Pines. Dipper nodded. "Your right Dad. I should be happy and not worry too much about it." Said Dipper.

Just then, there was a door knock on the door. "Get the door Tyrone." Said Mr. Pines. Tyrone nodded and headed towards the door. He answered and his face brightened with delight. It was non other than his two neighbors, Sora and Roxas. Or so Tyrone thought they were neighbors.

Sora and Roxas were two odd kids. They claimed to have moved into the neighborhood years ago, yet they came and went as they pleased. Tyrone knew them for only three years now and he never knew which house in the neighborhood was theirs or their parents for that matter. Yet they always came by to see Tyrone. "Hey you guys! How are you?" asked Tyrone as he gave each of his friends a fist bump.

Sora, the one with brown hair which was oddly spiky, smiled a large grin with delight. "We were in the hood and we decided to drop by and see how you are doing." Said Sora. "Everything okay in there? I hear rustling." Said Roxas, who was a bit more serious and stoic than his brother. He had blonde hair and he was slightly as tall as Sora.

"We are doing spring cleaning." Said Tyrone. "Spring cleaning? But it's Fall." Said Sora. "Oh, I mean we are doing fall cleaning." Said Tyrone.

"Hey Tyrone, get your friends in here and offer them a drink or a snack." Said Mr. Pines who was stacking the books together. "Nothing on my phone." Said Dipper clicking away. Mr. Pines shook his head and signaled the front door. Dipper got it, and decided to open a journal to pretend reading it.

"If you are doing Fall cleaning, want some help?" asked Sora. "No it's okay. We need to do this. Super important." Said Tyrone.

"Okay, if you say so Tyrone, but are you sure everything is okay?" asked Roxas. Tyrone noticed that Sora and Roxas were really wondering what was going on. He knew these boys as cheerful young men, yet on that day, Tyrone noticed how serious they were.

"Dad, I'm stepping out!" said Tyrone. "Don't take too long." Replied Mr. Pines. Tyrone got out and pulled Sora and Roxas aside.

"Okay you two, this is between us. Mabel is in a coma and we are trying to wake her up." Said Tyrone.

"Really? Did you call the police or something?" asked Sora.

"I wish, but I don't know." Said Tyrone.

Sora and Roxas looked at each other and nodded. Tyrone noticed and Sora got something out of his pocket.

"This is a keychain. It's meant to bring hope to people. I know your sister is fine." Said Roxas. "You believe she'll wake up? "asked Sora. Tyrone looked at the keychain and noticed that it was a little crown. "Sora, Roxas, how do you guys do it? I just told you something really scary and yet you two are willing to help me. Why is that?" asked Tyrone.

"It's for the greater good!" replied Sora with sly smile. He was the mischievous one of the two. "We'll come back and see how you guys are doing. See ya." Said Roxas as he turned around with Sora.

"See you guys." Said Tyrone. He was about to open the door, but curiosity got the better of him. He never knew where his friends lived. He decided to follow them in secret.

Sora and Roxas were talking to each other and Tyrone was not far behind. He wanted to see where his friends lived and if so why so many secrets. He hid behind cars and garbage cans in order to follow them. Eventually, he saw them go into the park, located in the center of the neighborhood. Tyrone followed them and saw Sora and Roxas speaking silently. Tyrone hid behind some bushes and heard them talk.

"Well, so far the Heartless never attacked this dimension. But Mabel falling asleep…. You don't suppose…." Sora was saying.

"Linda made it clear that darkness is in this land. We'll find out the source and stop it." Said Roxas.

Tyrone gasped loudly and the boys were startled. "Show yourself!" demanded Sora. Tyrone got up from the bushes.

"You guys know this Linda?!" he cried.

"Y-yes. She's… our mom." Said Sora.

"Enough with the lies! We need your help! If you two know something about Linda, we need help! Mabel falling asleep, and other things going on…. The darkness your looking for… I have the answers and so do you. We need help!" cried Tyrone who fell on his knees.

"Tyrone, buddy we're so sorry! We didn't know you were in such a pickle." Said Roxas.

"You need help? Then help you we will. It's kind of a long story but we'll tell the truth." Said Sora.

Back home, Mr. Pines, Dipper and Tyrone were on the couch and Sora and Roxas were sitting in front of them, ready to explain.

"Roxas and I are Keyblade Wielders. We travel to numerous dimensions and Linda came to us. She told us about a darkness in this dimension and when we arrived, we found nothing. Instead, we met Tyrone." Said Sora.

"We came here because we felt light coming from this house. We believed it was Dipper and Mabel, since you guys saved Gravity Falls, but…. The light did not come from them." Said Roxas.

"The light was coming from you Tyrone. Your light called us. But so did shadows. There is someone who wants to hurt you guys, but we don't know who it is." Said Roxas.

"We know. There's a guy who claims he's the Bogey Man. He's been stalking us for a while now." Said Dipper.

"Me? Light? You mean… I called him here without wanting too?" asked Tyrone. "No. You didn't call him. He came because there is something else besides you. Mabel's light is also just as strong as yours and Dipper's. But we are starting to believe that her light is stronger." Said Sora.

"This does not make sense. You mean Mabel has a power that we don't know about?" asked Mr. Pines.

"Yes, she does and that's why your "Bogey" guy is after her." Said Sora.

"Then we have to wake her up! She's probably in trouble!" cried Tyrone.

Just then, Mrs. Pines came running downstairs.

"Everyone! Come quick! Mabel woke up!" cried Mrs. Pines.

Mr. Pines, Dipper, and Tyrone ran upstairs while their guests decided to stay in the living room.

As they got in, Mabel was breathing heavily and in shock in her bed. She grabbed her head and screamed. "No! This can't be!" she cried.

"What's going on Mabel?! What happened?!" cried Dipper. Mabel looked at her family and shook her head.

"Mom, Dad, Dipper, Tyrone! We have to go to OHSU! We have too! It's an emergency! He's got him!" cried Mabel.

"Got who dear?!" cried Mrs. Pines. "The Bogey Man has another victim! A boy! We have to help him! His name… it's Matt! We have to help him!" cried Mabel as loud as she can.
