Dippers POV:

The day is another sunny one, as usual. Besides that little storm I had the unfortunate gratitude of experiencing, Gravity Falls always seems to be warm and happy place, without a cloud in the sky. It's the perfect weather Nadiline needs.

After her little scream fest early this morning, both me and Mabel agreed the best thing for Nadiline would be a nice stroll through town. Maybe try to bring back some good memories.

But no matter who smiles at us, no matter what shops we drag her into, that emotionless look won't leave her usually bright face. And somehow that puts both Mabel and I in the same mood. Sure we've only known her for a week now, but we've become close...somehow. She doesn't exactly seem like a people person. Sometimes she doesn't even seem like a person herself.

Mabel has tried every trick she has up her wool sweater sleeve on cheering people up, and they've always, ALWAYS worked. She took Nadi to her favourite bakery, where we picked up a couple crescent roles for home. Then to the mall, where I showed her the giant book store I like burn a few hours in every once in a while. Even to Mollys Arts & Crafts store where Mabel has caused more than a couple sparkle explosions. I'm surprised we haven't been banned fromt hat place yet...

But not a single one of those little trips caused the slightest of cracks in that sorrowful expression. If we were in a cartoon, Nadi would have a raincloud above her head.

Seriously? If there is one thing i've noticed about Nadi, besides her extensive knowledge, it's that she has always seemed to be, I don't know, cheery I suppose. Like if she wasn't, the world would crumble around her. And I know it's only been a couple hours, but shouldn't she have shaken off that nightmare by now?

I thought our little stroll down memory lane would help, but somehow, that only seemed to make her look worse. Why would it? Gravity Falls is a great place, where...almost everyone, is kind and grateful despite the towns slight quirks. What was happening inside that brain of hers? And why won't she talk to us?

The only thing she has managed to croak out this morning, was that the town had grown since she last left. How much larger could it have gotten in the space of a few years?

"Hey, Nadi?" I ask. In reply I get a low, monotone noise from her throat.

"How about we go check out the town hall? The more familiar places you see, the better right? You could feel right at home!" I say enthusiastically, trying to brighten the mood.

But she just sighs and nods, looking at the pavement as we walk.

Ok, enough of this, she needs to tell us what she's thinking or I feel her face might melt off. I walk in front of the two and stop in my tracks, halting both Nadi and Mabel.

"Ok Nadi, talk. What. Happened." I ask sternly, though her eyes still won't meet mine. She speaks for the first time in hours, "What are you talking about?" she quietly questions.

"You know what, it's that dream right? What was so bad about it that you won't even look at us?"

I speak too soon because it's then that her dark eyes meet mine, and I don't know how to describe it...her blank, yet sad face made me want to shrivel up into a ball and cry...how the heck does she do that? It's like she transferred her emotions onto me.

"Look Dipper, I've already told you I'm fine. So for once this week, could you just drop it? I promise, I'll be fine by tomorrow. I just need to let this darn day pass. My bad mood shouldn't be an issue for you guys."

Oh but it is, and one look at Mabel tells me she would agree with me. Her face looks like an extension of Nadilines, and I feel like we've all shared a loop rainclouds above our heads...creepy.

"What's so wrong about today, it's a perfect summer morning?" I point out.

Nadilines face suddenly changes. Sorrow and blank switches to surprise, and it looks like she regrets letting that sentence slip out. "Nothings wrong with it I-I...just need some time to…" she let's the sentence trail off.

Mabel then takes advantage of the silence and speaks up, "But Nadiline how the heck can we be happy if you're not happy! It's fudging impossible! I need you to name one thing, just one! One little thing that has always managed to cheer you up. And we shall make it so!" She encourages, throwing her arms in the air all god like.

Nadilines looks like she ponders for a bit. Her eyes moving from the ground to around the street.

"Well…I've always enjoyed music, it's managed to push away a few bad moods in the past."

"WE WILL MAKE IT SO!" yells Mabel to the sky. She then grabs both Nadiline and my sleeve and drags us through the streets, running like a maniac. "WOAH, Mabes slow down!" yells Nadiline. But before we know it, shes dragged us in front of an old CD store & soda bar on the east part of town. For a supposedly rural place, Gravity Falls sure has everything.

"Great, just great" I deadpan. I notice that i've been here before with Mabel, and may I just say, they don't exactly have a diverse choice of music. It's all Several Timez, Two Direction and Bedley. But before I can protest, Nadilines mood suddenly changes, her face now back to its original brightness and has a giant smile plastered on it.

"Mabel! It's awesome! Just look at the place!" she says excitedly. She sounds like a kid in a candy store, but for all I know, she probably is at the moment. The entire outside of the shop is painted with bold neon colours, matching her bold cyan hair. CDs and music notes decorate the walls and windows, and through the front door we have an easy view of the large soda bar.

Our previously sorrowful friend is now what I think Mabel calls 'fangirling'. She grabs both our arms and drags us inside. Not that Mabel needed much encouragement, shes just as ecstatic as Nadiline.

The moment we step in, Bedley's song 'Sleeping's for Dreaming' is playing...it's sad that I know that.

Nadiline starts searching through the many rows of CD albums with Mabel, while quietly singing along to the song.

"Walk around singing the blues, bright red Jimmy Choo's, where you from girl, tell me where you from girl? Knock, knock, open the door, what you are wound up for? You got the whole world, girl, you got the whole world."

She seems right at home now, which I guess was our original goal..but who knew she was so passionate about music of all things? I should keep a note of that.

"Dipper they have Marianas Bench here!" she says excitedly while waving an album in the air.

Yep, right at home. Who knows, maybe she forgot whatever the heck was bothering her…

Well I guess that chapter was just for fun, but hey ho. BTW the song mentioned is actually calls Dreamings for Sleeping by Hedley :p I just really love their music. Anyway, please leave a comment/review if you're liking the story!

Stay awesome, nice shoes, buy gold! -Silver
