The Nightmare Before Gravity ch. 5
I OWN AND REGRET NOTHING!
…...
Jack shakes his head. "Really my boy you shouldn't take it that hard-
SHANK!
" Mabel still wants to be friends with you, very much so-
SMASH!
"And a charming boy like you, you'll have plenty of girls to choose from I'm sure-
BOOM!
WHY WON'T YOU DIE!?
Screams an exasperated Gideon. He'd stabbed him, burnt him, dropped rubble on him, blew him up!...And yet he still lived! He doesn't even stop talking! Not even for one second!
Suddenly, the door to the warehouse opens up. Dipper walks in. "Hey, Jack. Soos said he saw you come this way. I want to know if...
He trailed off seeing several swords sticking out of Jack. "Uh, is this a bad time?" Asked a confused Dipper.
Gideon smirks. "Actually your timing couldn't be better!" Suddenly Dipper finds himself hovering in the air and thrown into the wall. He cries out in pain.
Gideon laughs...only to shiver as the temperature in the room drops...And to wet himself at the glare Jack was giving him.
"How dare you treat my friend so shamelessly!?" Shouted Jack as he readied himself-
…...a few minutes later...
"ReAlItY iS aN iLlUsIoN! ThE uNiVeRsE Is A hOlOgRaM! BUY GOLD!" Screamed a babbling and crazy Gideon as he was taken away by orderlies to the asylum.
Dipper stood by Jack deathly pale...he may not have felt the force of Jacks 'terror'...but it didn't make what he saw any less horrible.
Jack sighed. "I'm sorry you had to see that Dipper... Seeing you hurt...I just lost it...
Dipper puts a comforting hand on his shoulder...And they both walk home...
…...
-"So you understand now why you should let this 'teen killing spree' thing go?" Asked Jack. The two elderly ghosts nod. "Your absolutely right Mr. Skellington, I don't know why we didn't think of it that way before." Admitted Ma ghost.
Dipper groaned. "You couldn't have had this conversation with them before I had to do the Lamby dance?" Asked an irritated Dipper. "Sorry, I was stuck in Smiley-Dip." Admitted Jack sheepishly...
…...
"Now hold on just a minute!" Shouted Jack at Mabel and Stan while they taunted Dipper. "Shame on both of you! What kind of family ridicules each other!?" Chastises Jack.
Mabel blanched "Whoa, jack! It's not like that! Were just busting his chops! It's all in good fun!"
Jack quirked one of his eye-holes up skeptically. "So, if I poked at one of your foibles, you'd be fine with that?" Mabel smiled. "Sure! Why not!?" She shouts happily.
"Okay, then." Jack takes a deep breath. "Mabel, your not a good person. Good people don't make fun of their siblings to the point that they cry. Keep this up and Dipper will hate you, want nothing to do with you, leave you and you'll have no one to blame but yourself."
Mabel looked at Jack unbelievably hurt...And burst out crying. Jack shook his head, but put a comforting hand on her head. "Not funny when your insecurities are twisted by another is it?" Said Jack sternly(but not unkindly) Mabel could do nothing but nod and apologize to Dipper.
He turns to Dipper. "As for you Dipper, pay those who berate your 'manliness' no mind. Look at me; I love theater, fancy clothes, and have no chest hair. Dose that make me 'girly'?"
"Pretty much." Said Stan flatly. Jack thought on this. "Interesting counter argument...allow me this rebuttal-
ROAR!
Stan was scared out of his pants- CRASH! -And through the ceiling!
Jack turned to Dipper with a smile. "In conclusion: 'manliness' and 'girliness' are relative." Dipper smiles back. "Thanks Jack."
Mabel sniffed the air. "What's that weird smell?" She asked. Jack too sniffs. Why it appears to be the unmistakable scent of elderly feces and urine...I guess I put more 'oomph' into it than I thought." Said Jack as he looks over to Stan's trousers.
Needless to say, the twins weren't hungry anymore...
