~Silver P.O.V~
I quietly left the orphanage late afternoon, wearing a nice outfit, aka the only nice dress I had with a sweatshirt, and a few necessary items including money and my phone. I drove over to the Shack, just as everyone else was leaving. Blue quickly called me over and I got in the car with everyone else. Hoping my motorcycle would be safe for the time I was away.
The source of loud music and voices I heard earlier, was finally identified. Pulling into the packed parking lot, I saw in the near distance bright and flashing lights. Ones I remembered helping out with a few hours ago.
Hmph, I guess hard work like that really does pay off. But, then again, hard work seemed pointless without pay.
When I volunteered to help I remember having this feeling, that seeing people happy would make me happy.
But, I'm very hard to excite, especially after the past few days. Like hell and back again. Only, I wasn't back up quite yet. I knew that for a fact. There was still a lot to get used too and figure out.
Could I fly? Am I immortal? How in God's holy name did this happen? And the fact I had to get used to two heavy wings on my back that I had to keep concealed. Well...except for Summerween and Halloween.
People in this town were really gullible when it came to costumes. Although it really wasn't a costume...
Oh come on! I needed to stop thinking! I was here to have fun, not be completely focused on my problems!
By the time I snapped out of my thoughts I looked over at Blue, who was out of the car and pulling my sleeve. "Come on, lets go. We're going to be late."
I shook my head and shut my eyes fro a second before stopping. "Alright." I stepped out of the car and shut the door as everyone else began to walk down the gravel parking lot to the festival.
It had started earlier, but we all decided to go now. Just for the show. Loitering around here would be pointless. Waste of money.
It was around 7:50pm and the show started right at 8:00pm, so getting there a little early was necessary. We figured the line would be long, especially with all the advertising and emphasis they put on these people.
The line was short when we got there, getting in line lots of people began to fill in behind us. 'Confident' Mabel wanted to hand all our tickets in for us, apparently there were eight circles, for the eight days their show was going on.
You would keep your ticket, but you would pay every night, then they would punch a hole in one of the circles and let you in. Of course the first night/tickets were already payed by Mabel.
Lucky me she's so generous. But I had to pay for myself for the rest of the week if we all decided to go again. Which I counted on.
Five bucks per night, although Mabel's 'discount' brought it down to three for tonight. So instead of forty-five it was twenty-seven, which was perfectly fine by me.
I saw that lady punching the holes into people's cards. Mabel happily handed out all our tickets to her and stayed out there with Grenda and Candy to wait. While Dipper, Blue, Stan, Wendy, Soos, and myself went inside.
Few seats were already taken, so we sat down in the second row on the left side.
"This is not going to be worth what we payed," I grumbled.
"I saw a white rabbit running around earlier," Dipper grumbled in response. "But who knows, it could be real."
"Dipper listen, there's a time in life when you realize magic isn't real," Stan said. "I myself learned it the hard way." He shivered, "The very hard way..."
"Stan, with all the stuff that happens here-"
"Dipper they aren't from here," Blue cut in, talking a bit louder as more people entered the building. "How would they learn so quickly how to harness magic from a place they've never been to!"
There was about to be more arguing, but now we saw the lights flicker off, noticing that a lot more people were here, I mean this place was packed...
Silence fell over the crowd once every single light was off. Everyone looked around, wondering where it was going to start at.
Suddenly, a sun-roof opened up, stretching all the way down the isle in between both sides. Everyone's attention went to the top, where both of them jumped in, landing on the floor without injury.
That was a story drop.
It didn't even seem like there was any wires...
"Ladies and gentlemen! Children of all ages! Welcome to the show of a lifetime!" Caterina stared.
"What we've got here is like nothing you've ever seen before!" William continued. "Buckle up, cause it's gonna be one heck of a ride!"
This was the first time I've heard him talk for more than a few seconds. I looked over at Dipper, who had his elbow on his knee and his head in his hand, sort of in a thinking position as he watched the show go on. Not wanting to disrupt him, I focused back on the show.
Without notice everything began at once. The tiger jumped out from the ceiling, landing on the floor, again with no injury...
Both of them snapped at once, and all of a sudden the tiger went a lit in blue flames. The shine was so bright I shielded my eyes for a few seconds, and waited till it died down to look back.
Caterina and William both had these metal hoops, and I had an idea what was coming next.
Caterina through the first one straight at William, and the crowd gasped, fearing it would hit him. However, the tiger, which I now remembered was Ven, jumped up through the hoop.
Still a lit in flames, Ven landed, and the iron hoop disintegrated into nothing. The crowd began to applaud, I clapped along, looking at Dipper and Blue who exchanged strange looks with me. I nodded in agreement, before looking back to see the continuation.
I looked down at the floor, which had turned into a light blue. I looked back up to see Ven disappearing into the ground. All of a sudden he popped up at another spot, then another, than another. Like a mole, he popped out at differently places, very quickly. Well, quickly...then a mole wouldn't be a good comparison.
Finally he jumped out of the ground, center of the isle, and was was going to land on our side of the seats. Specifically, he was heading straight for me. I braced myself for impact but he disappeared into nothing before he even touched my skin.
But people weren't looking at me, they stared at those two. Who threw two iron hoops at each other. As soon one was below the other, Ven came out of nowhere and jumped through both at once. Landing, both hoops exploded into a cloud of blue glitter. And they stood there in their final pose with Ven, who was still alive and no longer on fire.
Everyone stood up and clapped. But I didn't get up, I stayed seated.
Of all people. That tiger leaped for me...
A tiger named Angel Hunter leaped for me...
That was no coincidence.
And as I looked to Dipper and Blue;
They knew as well, something like that was no coincidence...
