Chapter 30: Northwest Party Horrors
(Emily's P.O.V)
Okay, the theme song has had to happen already, cause I heard Dipper geeking out about his favorite series having a marathon and was stocking up for it. This was actually one of my favorite episodes to watch, mainly because it sheds some light on Pacifica's life outside of the views of the people of Gravity Falls, and she gets some major character development.
So, I was kinda excited.
I was sitting at the table outside of the t.v room, pretending to focus on the newspaper, as Dipper was lounged in the chair in front of the t.v. Surrounded by mountains of snacks and drinks.
"You asked for it, you got it! An entire 48-hour marathon of Ghost Harassers on the 'Used to Be About History Channel'!" The guy in the t.v announced.
"Be strong bladder. We're not gonna move till sunset." Dipper said, patting his stomach.
"Aren't there commercial breaks?" I questioned, as before Dipper could answer a familiar voice came from the t.v.
"We interrupt this program to bring you breaking news!" Toby Determined cried from the t.v.
"Aww, what?" Dipper whined. Mabel then jumped into the armchair beside Dipper.
"It's starting!" She squealed and Candy came to Dipper's other side.
"Turn it up!" She cried.
"Make room for Grenda!" And there's the last one, jumping in front of all of them, breaking a lamp in the process. I walked over to them and sat beside the chair, to see the screen.
"Well tonight's the night, but I've been out here for days!" Toby exclaimed, and I grimaced at the horrible state of his clothes.
"The Northwest family's annual high-society-shindig-ball-soiree is here! And even though common folk aren't let in, that doesn't stop us from camping out for a peek at the fanciness!" Toby explained as the camera panned to the crowd outside the manor's gates.
"Oooooooooh!" The girls awed with wide sparkly eyes.
"Okay, can someone please explain why people care about this?" Dipper asked in annoyance.
"It's pretty much the best party of all time. Rich food, richer boys!" Grenda explained.
"They say each gift basket has a live quail inside!" Mabel added.
"Give me your life, Pacifica." Candy pleaded, pawing at the t.v.
"Okay, you're gonna sit back over here now." I said simply and gently scotted her back to the carpet, away from the screen.
"Guys, in case you've already forgotten, Pacifica Northwest is the worst." Dipper scoffed. Then there was a knock was heard at the door, and Dipper went over to answer it and I followed him.
"Come on Dipper, she's not that bad." I reasoned.
"Emily, it's not just jealousy talking. I'd say that to her face." Dipper insisted and grabbing the doorknob to open the front door, being face to face with Pacifica.
"I need your help." She said.
"You're the worst." Dipper deadpanned and slammed the door, causing the others to gasp.
"See?" Dipper said and Pacifica knocked once more. Dipper groaned before opening it again.
"Look. You think it's easy for me to come here? I don't want to be seen in this hovel. But there's something haunting Northwest Manor. If you don't help me, the party could be ruined!" Pacifica explained, and took off her sunglasses.
"And why should I trust you? All you've ever done is try to humiliate me and Mabel." Dipper countered.
"Just name your price, okay? I'll give you anything!" Pacifica pleaded. Mabel then came over to the doorway.
"Hi, Pacifica! Excuse us!" Mabel greeted before dragging Dipper away from the door and gestured for me to join them.
"Dipper! Don't you see what this means? If you help Pacifica, you could get us invites to the greatest party of all time!" Mabel whispered excitedly.
"Seems like fair deal to me." I shrugged.
"What? Guys, this is Pacifica we're talking about!" Dipper argued.
"But it's Candy and Grenda's dream!" Mabel countered and gestured to her friends.
"Dreeeaaaaaaam." The two said, miming rainbows over their gleaming eyes.
"How can you say no to those faces?" I asked. Dipper groaned and went back to Pacifica.
"Ugh. Fine! I'll bust your ghost. But, in exchange, I'll need four tickets to the party." Dipper bargained. Yes! I'm going...also I have mixed feelings about that...
"Hrrn! You're just lucky I'm desperate." Pacifica growled and handed four shiny tickets to Dipper.
"Wooo! Des-perate! Des-perate! Des-perate!" Mabel, Candy, and Grenda cheered.
"Grenda, get the glue gun. We're making dresses!" Mabel exclaimed and I laughed.
"Okay, I'll go get my dress." I said and felt a tug in my arm.
"Wait, you have a dress?" Mabel asked gripping my arm tightly.
"Yeah, Soos' Abuelita bought me it a while ago, but I never got a chance to wear it. Now seems like as good of a time as any." I explained and quickly rushed to my treehouse to grab it. I opened my truck and pulled out the dress bag and unzipped it. Then I did a double take, nearly dropping the dress.
It was the same one from my dream I had...the one where I almost kissed Nate...
(Psst! It's in Chapter 15!)
I had practically forgotten about that dream, that was kinda silly of me since nearly every detail about Gravity Falls is important. I looked back at the scrolls I had gotten at the library and sighed. This was not gonna be an easy season. I closed the chest and took the dress back to the Shack.
I made my way to the bathroom and finally put on the dress. I checked myself in the mirror, and I'd like to say I looked pretty good. Not to mention I was lucky that the dress was in my size. I walked out of the bathroom and went back to the t.v room to see Pacifica on the phone.
"Yeah, he said that he'll do it in exchange for letting his friends come, so you'll need to send a limo." Pacifica said to, I'm assuming, her dad.
"Okay, see you soon. Bye." She hung up and finally noticed I was here.
"Uh...how long have you been there?" Pacifica asked, I shrugged.
"Long enough to here the tail end of the conversation." I said casually and put on the black high heels. "Man it's been forever since I worn these." I grumbled.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH! You look so cute!" Mabel squealed running down the stairs in her dress along with the others.
"Oh, thanks." I smiled, fiddling with my necklace. "I'm lucky the dress is my size, and didn't get ruined by being in the chest all this time." I joked, causing them to laugh.
"Okay, we should get this show in the road." Dipper said halfheartedly and a car horn was heard from outside.
"Well, that's our ride." Pacifica said. We all filed out of the Shack and into the limo.
The drive down to the manor seemed a bit awkward and I pretended to stare out the window. Though in reality I was kinda dreading seeing Preston. He was probably your least favorite character. Though to be fair, Bill has been getting in my nerves a little, but Preston was just a jerk.
And soon I'd have to deal with restraining from kicking him where the sun don't shine.
Suddenly a flash of light got my attention and I saw several people outside of the gates and taking several pictures of the limo as it drove by. I used by hand to cover my eyes and started at everyone sitting outside the mansion. I'm really glad Mabel and her friends didn't camp out here. The limo parked and we all walked up the steps and the doors opened as we stared in awe at the inside of the manor.
"Welcome to Northwest Manor, dorks. Try not to touch anything." Pacifica 'welcomes us' and we entered and I couldn't help but admire the scenery. Though the ice sculpture was a bit much. Mabel, Candy And Grenda seemed to like it a lot. Mabel then ran around in excitement.
"Everything's so fancy! Fancy floors, fancy plants...fancy man!" Mabel gasped and felt the Butler's face.
"Mm, yes. Very good miss." He said simply.
"Mabel, let the nice man's face go." I said and gently tugged her away from the Butler.
"The rumors were true!" Candy cried, holding up a gift bag and a live quail popped out and 3 chicks followed out. The three ran off after them, giggling and rushed past the Northwest's. Dipper gave a concerned glance at me.
"Give me like, five minutes and I'll handle it." I said quickly. Preston then came over to Dipper.
"Ah, if it isn't the man of the hour! Hopefully you can help us with our little... situation, before the guests arrive in an hour." Preston said, shoving me to the side.
"I'll do my best." Dipper nodded as I held my hand back from strangling him.
"Splendid! Pacifica, take our guest to the 'problem room,' and, uh... he's not wearing that, is he?" He asked and they turned to Dipper cleaning his teeth with his fingers.
"I'm on it." Pacifica assured her dad and dragged Dipper away. I watched them go and turned to Preston.
"If I may ask, do you have any idea what kind of ghost is haunting you?" I asked.
"And what is that supposed to mean?! Oh just never mind, this is none of your business! You're only here because we need Dipper Pines assistance. If it weren't for that you'd be lucky to be allowed outside the gates!" Preston glared down at me. I glared back, but ended up trying away and shrugging.
"I was just thinking that usually ghosts like these have unfinished business of sorts. Maybe a past relative, an old pet, or...someone who holds a grudge." I turned back to Preston and gave him a big smirk that showed my teeth and the look on his face was priceless!
"But that's none of my business now is it?"
That look on Preston's face was so worth it! I left before he had another out burst and rushed over to the others who were over to the guest list.
"Oh wow, guys, it's the guest list!" Grenda cried and opened the book. "Whoa, check out this hottie!"
"Marius von Fundschauser! He's a baron from Austria!" Candy squealed.
"Forget the quail, I'm putting him in my guest basket!" Mabel cried.
"Yeah...Mabel sweetie, that's kidnapping." I said, patting her head.
"Hold up, ladies. I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but I think this boy is out of our league." Grenda said regretfully.
"Grenda is right. He's a white whale. Hunting him will destroy us." Candy agreed.
"There are tons of cute boys coming. Let's swear a sisters' truce not to waste time on Marius." Mabel suggested and held out her hand.
"Deal!"
"Deal!"
"Deal!"
They all placed their hands in a circle and all laughed awkwardly. I sighed, and shook my head as I smiled. I then made my way over to the punch table. I got myself I cup and was about to drink when I saw Preston open the door to the guest.
"Welcome, dukes and duchesses, sultans, and sportsmen." He greeted and I rolled my eyes.
"Yo, what up, Presto?" A basketball player said. Well at least he was nice.
"And, reclusive 102-year-old mayor of Gravity Falls, Mayor Befufflefumpter." Preston continued and suddenly vultures flew into the room and circled the mayor.
"It's okay, they're with me." He assured the other guests.
"Tonight we will enjoy only the finest of tastes and only the snootiest of laughter." Preston said smugly and one of the guys did the infamous snooty laugh.
"That's the ticket!" Preston grinned, as the others clapped. I rolled my eyes and made my way over to the other side of the room. So of course I bumped into someone!
"Ooh, sorry! I wasn't..." I froze when I saw who exactly I managed to cross paths with.
Agent Powers and Trigger...in disguise.
"...paying attention."
"Oh well, quite alright miss, if you'll excuse us. Come my darling." Powers said and ushered Trigger away from me. I glared back at them. I had nearly forgotten about them being at the party. Why was Trigger even wearing the dress?
A glass chiming cut my thoughts and everyone's attention went to one of the butlers, who was by the door.
"Introducing Baron Marius von Fundshauser." He announced and the doors opened for Marius, who entered dramatically.
Okay I have to admit, I REALLY like this guy. He's just so sweet and a perfect match for Grenda! So seeing him got a smile on my face. Mainly since Preston was a total...(I can't even say some of the words in front of you guys cause this story is rated K+!) And I was glad to see that there was someone who was nice to the girls in the crowd.
And now, back to our story.
"Guten tag!" Marius waved to Mabel, Candy and Grenda politely.
"Guten take-me-now!" Mabel cried and attempted to rush to Marius before being stopped by Candy and Grenda.
"Mabel, we had a truce!" Grenda reminded her.
"Yes yes, a truce! Uh, Grenda? Can you go fetch us some fancy napkins?" Candy asked, placing her hands on Grenda's shoulders.
"Wow okay!" Grenda smiled and walked of. I sighed and shook my head playfully.
"Listen, Mabel, I don't know if I can follow this truce! He is too adorable!" Candy explained.
"Huh, me too, Candy. But what do we do? He's unattainable!" Mabel asked.
"What if we flirt with him as a team? With our cuteness combined, one of us might have a chance!" Candy suggested.
"It is the perfect plan, but what about Grenda?" Mabel asked.
"I love Grenda, Mabel. But these boys are fancy! Her aggressive flirting style might scare them away!" Candy explained and we turned to Grenda who was with a boy and pointed at his shirt.
"What's on your shirt?" She asked and flushed the boy's nose when he looked down at his shirt. "Haha, gullible!...Loser!"
I sighed and shook my head as I walked away from the crowd and sighed to myself. I really hoped that Dipper and Pacifica caught the ghost soon. I did want to change things up, but it didn't really work unless I waited a while. I turned to a window and noticed Dipper walking away from the Northwest's and I quickly rushed away form the window so they wouldn't see me. I nearly ran into the mayor and flashed him a smile before turning towards the food table and pretending to get a drink. That's when I heard Preston talk.
"Thank you so much for coming, Mayor. As a sign of our respect, please take this chimp servant. Keep him away from bright lights, he gets... grabby." Preston explained and I turned around to see the chimp with the mayor.
"Northwest's!" Dipper cried from off screen and opened the manor doors all dramatic like. "You've got some explaining to do!"
"Dipper, you came back!" Pacifica cried happily rushing over and I followed suit.
"What's going on?" I asked. Dipper turned his glare to Pacifica.
"You lied to me! All of you did! All you had to do was let the townsfolk into the party and you could've broken the curse! But you made me do your dirty work instead!" He cried. I walked over to Dipper's side and placed my hands in his shoulders.
"I'm not surprised. Preston never liked to treat others nicely. It's not in his nature. I'm surprised a load of garbage didn't come to your party. I've heard they came in groups." I sneered and Preston walked over to us menacingly.
"Look at who you're talking to, peasants. I'm hosting a party for the most powerful people in the world. You think they'd come here if they had to rub elbows with your kind?" He asked.
"Our kind?" Dipper questioned.
"I rather live in a tent than be considered one of your kind." I snapped. Dipper turned to Pacifica.
"I was right about you all along. You're just as bad as your parents. Another link in the world's worst chain!" He yelled. Pacifica frowned and her eyes started glistening with tears.
"I'm sorry, they made me! I should've told you, but..." Pacifica tried to apologize but was cut off by the bell ringing. I glared and slapped the bell out of his hand.
"You stop ringing that bell!" I snapped. Preston just simply picked it back up and put it back in his jacket.
"Enjoy the party! It's the last time you and your kind will ever come." He sneered at Dipper, who marched away and a chimp offered him some food.
"No no! Those aren't for him." Preston said and I clenched my fists.
"Listen here you...!"
"No, YOU listen! You have some nerve raising a hand at me! I'm the wealthiest man in Gravity Falls! You're just some peasant girl who was abandoned by her own parents!" He snapped and my eyes widened in horror.
How'd he know that?
Preston then gave me a mother flipping smirk. "Buts that's none of my business now, is it?"
Several emotions swarmed my head. Mostly anger. I was also confused and almost scared, but I wasn't about to let Preston Northwest know that. I unclenched my fists and started him straight in the eye and pointed at his chest.
"Listen up cause I have a warning to tell,
It's for the man that rings the bell.
If you don't learn your place,
Gravity Falls will see your true face."
"Is that a threat?" Preston demanded.
"No, a warning. Though based on your personality, it may as well be a threat." I sneered and turned on my heel before walking away.
That felt great! So worth it!
I made my way over to the snack table and got myself a fancy cookie. I think I earned one...maybe a couple. The Northwest's may be jerks, but at least they know how to serve good food. I smiled to myself as I ate another cookie when I suddenly heard Preston tapping the glass and I rolled my eyes before turning to him.
"Thank you all for coming! I think we can all say this party was a rousing success."
Preston announced and I yawned in boredom.
"I guess you could say it was a slam dunk, Presto." One of the basketball players commented.
"Yes, yes, I guess, sure." Preston muttered and raised his glass. "A toast! To our family name..."
Preston was cut off by the glass shattering in his hands. "What!?" He gasped and the fireplace started going crazy.
"I CALLED IT!" I exclaimed, but I guess no one heard me cause the ghost was emerging form the fire place.
"GENERATIONS LOCKED AWAY, MY REVENGE SHALL HAVE ITS DAY!" He exclaimed and a glowing beam shot out from his arm.
"Ah, the grim reaper! I'd been wondering when you would arri...Aaah!" The Mayor was cut off by getting turned into wood and he fell over.
The guests started to panic and running around the taxidermy even started coming to life and the ghost turned several people into wood. I managed to dodge a few shots and ran up the stairs.
"Archibald Corduroy! Please listen!" I exclaimed and he turned to look at me.
"How do you know my name? Is this some sort of game?" He asked.
"No, this isn't a trick! My name is Emily Jewel, and I'm a friend of Wendy Corduroy! Please don't do this! I know Preston's family was mean to you, and that was a real jerk move, but not everyone here is as bad as they are!" I pleaded.
"Hmmmmm, you have made a strong case, but the Northwest's have still caused a great disgrace!" He exclaimed before shooting another man who was at the doorway. Dipper then burst in and witnessed the chaos.
"Please, help me!" The man cried as he slowly turned to wood. Jeez, this episode is dark.
"Whoa, that is messed up!" Dipper cried in shock as Archibald laughed.
"JUST ONE WAY TO CHANGE YOUR FATES: A NORTHWEST MUST OPEN THE PARTY GATES!" He boomed.
"A Northwest?...Pacifica!" Dipper gasped and rushed over to the secret room. I sighed and turned to Archibald again.
"Please, there must be a better way to solve this. By that I mean find Preston and turn him into a tree, freeing everyone else." I pleaded.
"I've warned them a long time ago, now of my tragedy everyone will know!" Archibald said as he contained to shoot people.
"...okay, fair enough...but in retrospect..."
"IT'S TOO LATE!" He exclaimed, cutting me off. I then noticed Dipper and Pacifica running into the main hall.
"You are all wood!" He cried as the two screamed.
"Emily!" Dipper called out to me and I waved at him.
"Don't worry I'm okay!"
"Because she has respected me, her soul shall remain free!" Archibald explained.
"...thank you?" I said unsurely. Dipper then seemed to notice that Mabel was now a tree and rushed over towards us.
"Dipper, wait!" Pacifica cried and Dipper picked up a silver platter.
"Alright ghost, prepare to get.." An energy beam then hit the Journal out id his hand and he dropped the platter. "Ah! No, wait!"
"Dipper look out!" I cried and Archibald blasted Dipper with the wood spell and he was slowly becoming a tree.
"No no no! No, someone help! SOMEONE HEEEELLLLP...!" He exclaimed and was frozen in a familiar form. Pacifica gasped as a grandfather clock struck midnight.
"A FOREST OF DEATH, A LESSON LEARNED, AND NOW THE NORTHWEST MANOR WILL BURN!" Archibald then set the mansion ablaze as he laughed, and I watched as the painting above us started to burn.
"Hey, ugly! Over here! You want me to let in the townsfolk? 'Cause I'll do it! Just change everyone back!" Pacifica said in determination.
"YOU WISH TO PROVE YOURSELF? PULL THAT LEVER AND OPEN THE GRAND GATE TO THE TOWN! FULFILL YOUR ANCESTORS' PROMISE!" Archibald exclaimed, pointing to the lever and Pacifica reached up towards it but was interrupted when Preston and appeared from an underground hatch.
"Pacifica Elise Northwest! Stop this instant! We can't let the town see us like this! We have a reputation to uphold! Now come into the panic room. There's enough mini-sandwiches and oxygen to last you, me, and a butler a full week. We'll eat the butter." Preston said and whispered the last part. I groaned loudly at his antics.
Pacifica looked over at Dipper and continued to reach for the lever.
"You dare to disobey us?" Preston asked in disbelief and started ringing the bell, causing Pacifica to hesitate.
"DON'T LISTEN TO HIM PACIFICA! YOU CAN DO THIS! PULL THE LEVER!" I exclaimed and that seemed to help Pacifica get closer to the lever.
"Dingally dingally! Is this bell broken?!" Preston exclaimed while ringing the bell, and Pacifica stomped her foot down.
"Our family name is broken! And I'm gonna fix it!" She declared and pulled down the lever causing Archibald to gasp and me to cheer. From the winds we could see the townsfolk Exeter through the gates happily.
"YES, YES, IT'S HAPPENING! MY HEART, ONCE HARD AS OAK, now grows soft like more of a...birch, or something." Archibald said happily. That's when the manor started becoming back to normal.
"Pacifica, you are not like the other Northwests. I feel...lumber justice." Archibald said softly and faded to nothing and the ax in his head feel to the ground. I smiled fondly and walked down the stairs and felt a rumbling in the floor and the whole town burst in and excitedly ran around everywhere.
"Aw, yes! Yeah!" Manly Dan cried as he jumped into the cider fountain.
"Good lord, the riffraff! They're everywhere!" Preston exclaimed and saw Tyler pick up a fork and place it down in the table.
"That's not how the fork should be placed!" Preston cried rushing over to fix it. I laughed at his distress and noticed a familiar figure at the door and gasped happily.
"Nate!" I waved and rushed over to him and threw my arms around him and he spun me around.
"Emily! Hey, I didn't think you'd be here!" Nate smiled and I was placed back on the ground and Nate held my shoulders at arms length.
"Wow...you look...just...wow!"
"Thanks." I laughed and hugged Nate again. I then noticed Pacifica by the table looking awkwardly around and relaxed Nate from the hug.
"Hey, I'll be right back. There's something I need to do real quick." I said.
"Okay, I'll get some snacks." Nate said and I gave a thumbs up before walking to Pacifica.
"Hey, great job opening the gates." I complimented as I leaned against the table.
"Thanks, and it was nice that you believed I could do it." Pacifica replied and we went silent. I then noticed that she was looking over at Mabel, Candy, Grenda and Marius.
"...Emily?"
"Yeah?"
"...do you think I'm a bad person?" Pacifica asked. "And be honest, I can take it."
"Well I'll admit that you weren't the nicest person when we first met, but after tonight I can tell that your behavior is influenced by you over obnoxious parents. The way they treat you, and stop me of I'm wrong, makes you want to lash out at others because you didn't have the confidence to stand up to them before." I explained and Pacifica was silent for a moment.
"Yeah, I guess so...and you don't think I'm that bad?" She asked. I then bent down to face her and placed a hand in her shoulder.
"Pacifica, a wise person once told me that no one is truly bad, they just need somebody to help them see that. I was lucky enough to have some people to help me when I needed it, and there are some people here that can help you too." I said, gesturing to Mabel and her friends who were dunking their heads in cheese and chocolate.
"...I doubt they want to be my friend after I'll I've done." Pacifica muttered, rubbing her arm in shame. I just smiled.
"Well, I know I where you can start." I smirked, standing up.
"Really? Where?" Pacifica asked.
"Sometimes, it's best to just say you're sorry. Maybe they won't forgive you right away, but at least the fact that you said it and meant it is still out there." I said and Pacifica turned to Mabel and the others and back to me.
"Okay, I'm sorry Emily. I'm sorry for not being as nice as I should have been to you." She said sincerely and filled with confidence. I smiled in return.
"Thank you Pacifica, and I accept your apology." I replied.
Pacifica walked over to Mabel, Candy, and Grenda. I couldn't here what they were saying, but Pacifica rubbed the back of her head with Ike hand and extended the other out. Suddenly Mabel's eyes widened and snatched Pacifica up in a hug. Candy and Grenda then joined in laughing happily. I smiled proudly and could tell that I definitely made a change.
"That was for you Georgia." I whispered and headed back to Nate, who handed my a glass of sparkling water.
"I wouldn't drink the cider." He joked and I laughed.
"Thanks for the tip."
We walked out onto a balcony and I stared up at the stars and smiled fondly at them. It was such a nice view. I stared a bit longer before I caught Nate looking at me all goofy like.
"What?"
"Nothing, just you look really happy. And I like seeing you happy." Nate shrugged and I laughed.
"I just had a good night, it got a lot better when you showed up, and Pacifica turned herself around. Her dad's a jerk by the way." I explained.
"Yeah, not surprised. I swear he fed off of the people's misery while we watched the party form the streets." Nate joked and I laughed again, only it was pretty loud and I slapped my hand over my mouth and turned it into a giggle. Nate laughed too.
"You're cute when you laugh." He teased playfully and I laughed before giving him a light nudge and we looked back at the stars and enjoyed the view. I snuck a glance behind me and saw Pacifica laughing with Mabel, Candy, Grenda, Marius, and even Dipper had joined them. I smirked and turned back to the view.
Tonight was great.
(Third Person)
Nate was running down a dark hallway that seemed to be made by bricks. He panted and couldn't remember what he was doing here. Or what was happening. He was pretty sure he was running from something.
"NATE! HELP!" His head shot up and he rushed forward.
"Emily! Hang on!" He didn't know what was going on, or why she was upset, all he knew was that he needed to get to her.
"HELP ME!" Emily cried again and Nate ran faster, but he noticed the ground behind him was crumbling into lava. He ran faster, but the crumpling floor caught up with him and he slipped back into the lava.
"NO!"
Nate shot up in his bed and panted heavily before turning to his alarm clock.
3:18am.
He groaned and rubbed his face and sighed deeply before grabbing his phone and flipped it open. He looked at his wallpaper which was a selfie of him and Emily, who was wearing his cape and giving a playful wink and sticking her tongue out. Nate was giving her bunny ears and winking as well.
He stared at the photo for a while before sighing to himself. It was just a dream, but why was he so worked up about it? He gave the photo one last look before shutting his phone and making a mental note to visit Emily tomorrow. Maybe they could have lunch on her break.
He laid back down and fell asleep. Unaware of the eye that watched him from the void.
"Hmmmm, interesting. Very interesting."
