AUTHOS NOTE: Heyo! Been writting like crazy so here Ya go! Thanks for all the follows and likes! I plan to finish this so, LETS DO IT!
I DO NOT OWN ANY GRAVITY FALLS OR DANNY PHANTOM CHARACTERS BUT I DO OWN ANY OTHER CHRACTER IN THIS SERIES, LIKE KATRINA, I OWN HER...
"Katrina? You alright? Did you forget something?" Tucker asked, seeing the shocked expression on my face. He and the other two had stopped and turned around.
"I…it's nothing! Nothing. I just remembered something that's all…" I said quietly, catching up and walking alongside them. Danny pulled out a map of Gravity Falls, examining it intently.
"This town's not too big is it?" he asked me as we passed the arcade. I nodded silently, watching as a teenager about Wendy's age, wearing an all-black hoodie with long, black hair that seemed dyed, pound on a game, obviously annoyed. Tucker glared at Danny for some reason then turned back to me and asked:
"So any sightseeing places we can go to? Any little cool spots?" I racked my memories, trying to remember if there was anything we could do in this little town. There was the old Dusk-2-Dawn… no scratch that. Didn't Dipper say there were ghosts in there? The mini-golf place, the arcade, the diner, Mystery Shack, the creepy forest, that river I stumbled across two days ago with the Blood Blossoms, the museum, the Big Gunz Laser Tag place, the Skull Fracture bar… nope not there… I don't think we're old enough yet… never stopped me before.
"There is always the Laser Tag place… And the waterfall… maybe the museum?" I said, trying to untangle all the names of the Gravity Fall's buildings. "Ugh! So many names!" I muttered after a few minutes of thinking. "Let's just go back to the arcade. It's got some fun games." I flipped around, leading them towards the one place I hadn't gone to visit yet. Opening the door, I noticed Black Hoodie Boy was doing a weird little victory dance as the bright screen of one of the games sported the words, 'VICTORY!'
He glanced at us as we walked in then did a retake when he noticed my eye color. I ignored him even as his mouth dropped open and watched us cross the arcade to different games. I got that reaction a lot, my eyes were normal to me but I guess to people like these, it was shocking. Especially since they knew they weren't contacts. Not many people have electric blue eyes… so far I've only met one person who has the same color eye as mine. I had just learned to ignore it and move on with my life.
I noticed an old door and, glancing around, walked through it. I glanced around, taking in the cloth covered games. Walking over to a particularly old game by the name of Fight Fighters that had no cloth, I ran my hand across the top then wiped it off on my already dusty pants as an entire pack of dust bunnies clung to my fingers.
"Hey! Want a play a round?" said a voice from behind me causing me to flip around in alarm. Black Hoodie was behind me, leaning against a wall with his hands in his hoodie's pockets. I noticed a stitched bleeding heart design on the front of it. He seemed bored but I could see right through him. He was interested in who I was and where I had come from. His eyes gave him away. "I warn you, I'm a master." He boasted, examining his fingers. I smirked at his pride. This was going to be too easy…
"Sure. But I'm pretty good at this kind of thing." I said slowly, taking my arm out of its sling. It hurt as I pulled on the bandages but other than that, I was fine. He stepped up the right controls while I got the left. Better for me. The game started up with having us choose our characters then showed a very pixelated old-timey battle start. 'START!' it screamed, releasing us to fight. I have to admit the teen was pretty good, using a lot of combos and super powers but I knew the basic layout of the game, all the little bugs and cheats I could use to my advantage. I had built something close to this one time with Stephan. I hid a bunch of cheats and mini glitches in the game so to give the players the advantage over the others. These were easy to detect if you knew how to look.
Then, just as I was about to win, he used an extreme combo that was an immediate OP one hit kill. I blinked in surprise as he started his little victory dance again, this time chanting "Loser! Loser! Loser! Loser! Loser!" I growled internally. This guy was going down!
"Again." I said simply. He looked shocked then smirked as he stepped up to the game once again. This time, I pulled one of my tricks out my magic hat of cheats and used an old move nobody had ever named. It was enough to kill off the rest of his health and I jumped up excitedly, screaming, 'YES!' to the entire arcade. I could tell Tucker and his friends were staring at us through the doorway. Along with the two other people in the arcade. Then the two other people walked over and gasped when they saw the boy.
"Robbie? Hey! What's up? Long time no see!" one of them, the longer haired taller guy, said to Black Hoodie. The other, a shorter chubbier guy, asked:
"Hey who's this?" Then he pointed at me making me shift nervously. Sliding my arm back into my make-shift sling. Black Hoodie, or Robbie, glanced back at me.
"Just someone I was going up against." He answered, leaning against the wall again. He seemed a bit dramatic. I felt a wave of amusement wash through me. This guy thought he was so cool but he was, unknowingly, talking to someone who had fought robots, dragons, ghosts, an evil lab, a psychopath cyborg, giant bird creatures, and who has been through many different dimensions. I attempted to fold my arms but remembered the sling last second as my arm bumped against it.
"Name's Katrina Harrington. Just visiting Gravity Falls. Heard there were a few… interesting things to see here so I just came to check it out." I said, shrugging. Robbie seemed a little down.
"Did you talk to that Dipper kid? He sure knows a lot about mysteries!" Robbie shot at me. I blinked. Was that jealousy I detected? Why would he be jealous of Dipper? Dipper was about four years younger than him. It's not like he could do anything right?
"Eh…. Tried that. His book seemed promising." I admitted, glancing over at Tucker and Sam who were currently trying to beat the high score on Ghost Maze. Danny was half asleep on the Frog Time machine, his hair even messier than normal. Robbie followed my gaze to the other three, curiosity painted across his face. "Just some kids I'm showing around." I said, turning back towards the Fight Fighters machine. I noticed a weird combo move scratched in the screen. Can't be anything too good… I told myself reading the text above, 'To unleash ultimate power.' Yup. It's a crappy move! I laughed to myself. Just a troll.
Then a voice from across the main arcade room said: "Katrina! We've spent almost an hour in here and I think Danny might be dead." I hurried over to see Danny sound asleep on the machine, a small puddle of drool forming next to his head. I stifled a laugh as Sam poked his arm and he bolted up, looking around wildly ready to fight.
"What? Is there ghosts around? Is it Skulker?" he asked, looking around at the almost empty arcade. I felt my smile fade. Skulker? Ghosts? Sheesh his parents really are getting to him… I thought to myself, glancing out the window. I did a retake as a shadowy figure dove back into the forest from a dark alleyway in between the two buildings on the other side. What the…
AUTHORS NOTE: Hope you like my cliff hanger... I'll be back... Soon with new updates! Stay golden! And keep up with the Astor! (Ten points to Griffondor if anyone gets the quote... XD)
