'Carpet Diem. I love this episode dearly, but I forgot about the twins' late night mini golf excursion.'
"Hwaah! Total domination! I am the master of Attic Stuff Mini-golf! From the mighty Swiss Alps! To the badlands of Dipper's old laundry where man fears to tread!" I can hear Mabel's muffled squeals through my pillow that I'm crushing against my ears. I didn't get a wink of sleep last night because I was busy doing...stuff. 'Definitely not reading fan fiction...Shhh!'
"Guuuuuyyys!" I whine, now sitting up in my bed, "Please, for the love of Thor, go to bed!" I toss a side pillow at Mabel. It promptly makes a soft thunk and lands on the ground, my sister not even giving it the time of day, as she readies her golf club for the next shot.
"Sorry, Macie. We have like, twelve more holes to go," Dipper tells me.
"Twelve? Come one guys! I am so tired and I just wanna sleep!" I sound like I'm practically begging. The two ignore me as Dipper gets a 'Stan Shot' and celebrate until Mabel's alarm clock goes off. "Oh my gosh FINALLY!"
"What? Did you not know that was going to happen?" Mabel gives me a malicious grin.
"Well, I was so tired, so I forgot about- would you please stop looking at me like that- I forgot about it."
Mabel shrugs and turns to Dipper, "Ok well, Dipper, I gotta go hang out with Candy and Grenda tonight.
"Aw, again? You can't leave mid-game," Dipper says sullenly.
"Don't be silly, I'm not leaving. My friends are coming to me!" Mabel throws her arms up, excitedly. "You could finish with Macie?" She gestures to me.
I immediately grab my blanket and turn to the wall, dramatically pulling it with me, having it look like a cape in the process. "Nope! I'm going to sleep!"
I laugh at Dipper's horrified scream when Candy and Grenda burst through the door, yelling "SLEEPOVER!"
After that, I hum the theme song in my head before 'Finally!' falling asleep.
~~Time Skip brought to you by: Macie going to sleep at, like, 7:30 because I forgot to put that detail in and she's super tired...yeah..~~
I wake up, quickly checking my phone and seeing that it says it's roughly nine, then sit up to see Grenda punching the ground chanting the word beautiful. I was about to say something, but Dipper beat me to it, "Arrrrgh! Mabel! Do you think you can do this somewhere else?! You're laughing at frequencies only dogs should hear!" I stifle a snort at Dipper's complaint.
"Mabel, come on, this is ridiculous, why can't you have a sleepover in the living room?" I ask her, siding with Dipper this time.
"Come on guys, it's not that bad!" 'Why is she trying to plead a case that is not worth pleading? Scratch what I said, I'm not even making sense to myself anymore...' While zoning about trying to make sense of what I just said, I get cut off by Dipper's shrieks of terror. Then watch as he hastily makes an escape and dodges all of the girls' attempts to give him a makeover.
Their three faces form frowns when my brother escapes, but then they turn to me and their frowns turn to evil, maniac smiles. Eyes wide, I hurriedly make my way out of the room as well, only narrowly escaping the three maniacs. Out of breath, I catch Dipper walking down the hall with a blanket and pillow in hand. 'Dangit! In my haste I forgot about my pillow and blanket!'
"Dip! Wait, wait up!" I call out to him and he turns around.
"Did they try to get you, too?" he deadpans, almost knowing the answer already.
"Yup." I pop the 'P'.
"Well, I just asked Soos if I could sleep in his break room, but it turned out to be a a tiny space with hazardous pipes and junk."
"Yeesh." I try my best to sound surprised.
We kinda just stand in the hallway for an awkward amount of time before Dipper speaks up, "Welp, I'm going to sleep outside." 'Ohhh this is the part with the wolf!'
"Wait! Can I come with you?"
He glances around in confusion, "Uh, why?"
"Well, why are you going outside when you could sleep in the living room?" 'I've always questioned that...'
He stops, looking thoroughly confused himself, "I, actually, don't...know..." then he shrugs and keeps going, "But you can join if you really want." He waves a hand without looking at me, still walking. 'Shoot, am I breaking the fourth wall? Nah.'
I get outside and see that Dipper already set his 'bed' up on the ground. I purposely make mine a ways away from him because I don't feel like getting mauled by a wolf tonight. Getting my phone out, I turn on the camera app to start recording. I wait patiently for about four minutes until I see the wolf silently creep up on Dipper's leg.
I stifle my laugh as best as I can, good thing he doesn't hear me. He says his dialogue, talking about the stars and then shrieks, just now noticing the wolf gnawing on his leg. "Aaah! Get off! Aah! Get away!" The sporadic child looks up at our big, circular window and sees the three girls jumping and singing loudly, "This," Dipper points to the wolf, "this is still better."
I finish my recording, now fully laughing hard, unable to conceal it anymore. "I-I, oh my gosh, I can't even, what the, this logic,- ugh!" I double over to breathe. I decide to ignore Dipper's pointed looks and just go to sleep on the cold, dirty ground.
~~Time Skip brought to you by: Soos trying to fit in his 'Break room'; "Ow, wait wait!"~~
Opening my eyes, I see the blue sky and some birds flying by. "Great it's already morning!"
"Why?" Dipper's head suddenly comes into my view, leaning right over my face as I stare straight into the sky.
"Gah! Don't do that. And by what I meant earlier, I couldn't sleep last night and only got, like, I don't know, three hours of sleep? I woke up at least three times. My back was and is still killing me, not to mention my hips." When Dipper moves his head, allowing me to sit up and rub my bed head down to look less stupid.
I stretch and groan and twist my knees, sighing when they pop. "What?" I notice Dipper's pointed look, "It feels good, try it sometime, Dipstick."
He rolls his eyes, "I just don't even know how you do it. Not to mention it looks painful."
Laughing, I roll up my blanket and tuck my pillow under my right arm. I motion him to do what I did and after he does, we head inside and upstairs to our messy bedroom. 'Except he doesn't know it's that messy yet...' Dipper leads the way and opens our door, walking in as I join him. Mabel instantly greets us, right after her friends exit the room past me.
"Hey, brother, sister! Want any of this leftover pizza? It's got glitter on it!" I groan and hold my stomach, suddenly feeling sick to it.
Dipper deadpans and pushes the slice away from our faces, probably sensing my discomfort, "Mabel, last night an owl tried to eat my tongue."
"What? I missed that!?"
"Shush, Macie. It was the worst, maybe not as bad as what happened in here anyway," he finishes and looks around the pig sty of a room.
"Ha ha, that sounds awesome!" Mabel interjects her opinion.
Dipper, who was lying on his bed, utterly defeated, shoots up looking offended by what she said, "No, it's not great! This," he points to everything in the room, "is impossible to live with!"
Before Mabel can defend herself, 'Albeit terribly,' I decide to butt in, "Yeah, Mabel, it'd be great if you didn't have sleepovers up in our room. It's not fair for the other inhabitants."
"What, you're siding with Dipper?"
"Well, no, I'm saying that there is no reason that you guys can't sleep downstairs."
"Hey! I'm delightful to live with! Get ready to be poked by the fun stick! Boop!" Mabel, having picked up a loose stick from Dipper, starts poking said boy in his stomach.
"Ah!" Dipper smacks the stick out of her hand, "Mabel, I've had it with the fun stick! You've totally wrecked our room. And—" our brother gasps loudly, "—oh no! Our mini-golf course!"
'Ooo, not good!' I wince, then scold myself for showing it instead of internally doing it.
"Heh heh heh, yeah. Grenda sure loves breaking things."
"Mabel, you don't just let your friend break yours and your sibling's things! It's special to you, too!" I scold. 'I honestly didn't get this part. Like, why would she let Grenda do that?'
"Well..." She looks to the side guiltily.
Dipper joins in and points to the ground, sternly, "Mabel, we need to lay down some ground rules if we're gonna be living in this room altogether. First of all, no sleepovers."
Mabel shakes her head in disbelief, "What?! Well if I can't have sleepovers, then you two can't keep me up every night with your summer reading." She points to the both of us sporadically.
"Wait, me? Don't bring me into this!" I back away with my hands up.
"Nope! You brought yourself into this when you started siding with Dipper!"
"I didn't side with Dipper, I was just- never mind, I don't want to argue about that again. But going back to this argument, I understand how Dipper keeps you up, but how do I keep you up?"
"Your phone's brightness!" She throws an accusing finger at my phone.
"I have it down as far as it goes, plus you're on the bottom! It shouldn't bother you!" After saying that, my eyes grow wide and I stare off into space. A sudden flashback appears in front of me as I see a room with a loft bed and a bunk bed. Whoever was on the bottom bed of the bunk is complaining about my light from my phone. I faintly hear myself explain the same thing I told Mabel.
"-cie? -acie? MACIE?" I jump, started by the shout and breaking my flashback. I bring a hand to my forehead as it suddenly cramps. I look around the room, completely lost, briefly seeing the scared and shocked faces of my siblings.
I shake my cloudy head and try to focus on the twins, but they are blurry and my head is aching. I squint my eyes and try to get them to focus with no avail. I furrow and un furrow my brows in an attempt to understand what is happening. The last words I hear are my name before spots litter my vision and the darkness engulfs me.
