AA bird chirped and landed near Bree. It looked kind of familiar as it cocked its head. Bree slowly took out her phone and snapped a picture. Right as she clicked the button the bird flew away. "Darn it." She whispered and glanced down at the picture. It looked slightly distorted and the bird didn't even really look like a bird anymore. It was elongated the colors all blurred together. "Well that didn't work." She shook her head and slid the phone back into her pocket.
1Bree glanced over at the others and then looked back down at her notebook. Ford was explaining about some kind of creature. The whole class was out in the middle of the forest and she just sat there reading her textbook. She just felt… lonely today. She knew there were a group of people near her but she also knew that if she mind walked she would see that not one of them was thinking of her. Not even Dipper. She had come to enjoy the boy's presence but she also knew that his attention was directed elsewhere. Instead she fingered the small medallion around her neck. It was hard to believe it had been eight years already. She tightened her grip on the necklace and closed her eyes. She found herself leaving her mind and wandering among the people. She could see where she could step into their minds. So many minds.
ZTHe one that stood out the most to her was Dipper. Strangely the more familiar she was with a person the brighter their mind seemed to be. Even Ford's glowed brighter than she had expected. She reached out slightly towards Dipper's mind but stopped. No I'm not going to invade his mind. I promised myself I wouldn't… Not him or Mabel. Though she did eye Ford. She was half tempted to go over to his mind but she could hear a faint pressure in her ear, which meant someone was trying to talk to her. She rushed back to her body and opened her eyes. Dipper stood there.
2"Oh hey." He smiled. "Sorry did I wake you."
6"Not really, is the lesson over?" She asked sitting up and tucking her necklace back into her shirt. "Did I miss much?" She smiled.
"No." Dipper chuckled. "Everyone is just splitting up, I thought you should know."
"Sounds good." Bree stretched her arms above her head as if she was waking up. "Does Ford need m to drive a group of anything?"
"He just wanted you to keep an eye out. If we're going to catch the hide behind-."
"Who names these things?" Bree shook her head. "Alright I'll keep an eye out."
"Right." Dipper nodded and then headed over towards Ford. The two started talking softly. Bree frowned and then closed her eyes and headed closer. If she focused she could pick out words…
"He still hasn't show up to class." Dipper was saying. "He emails our assignments to us but no one has seen him in a while."
"I'm concerned. After the fairies.." Ford's voice trailed off.
Bree frowned. Something else was making noise in the area. She took a step away from the others and narrowed her eyes towards the sound. It sounded like… Hooves… Bree jolted back to her own body and sat up straight right as she heard a large crash. Everyone looked around confused. Bree threw her book into the back of her cart and rushed towards Dipper and Ford. "Hey!" Her voice was drowned out by a loud stampeding sound. Everyone dove for cover as a stampede of colorful horses rushed past. Bree watched as the horses stormed away, but there was something about them… Wait a moment… Bree froze. They all have horns and rainbow colored manes…
"Is everyone okay?" Ford called out.
There were groaned and complaints but for the most part everyone seemed okay. "Was that…"
"UNICORNS!" A woman yelled out. "They exist!"
Ford nodded. "Yes they exist… But I'm surprised they came this way. Normally they stay to themselves and after that incident with Mable…" He shook his head. "I haven't seen a unicorn in ages."
"Which is perfectly fine." Dipper nodded. "But why are they storming past us?"
"No idea."
"Is anyone worried that they are headed towards town?" Bree asked, dusting off her pants. Everyone froze and then everyone was storming towards the golf carts. "I guess so." She headed over to her own cart and started to drive.
Why is so much stuff happening now? And why is this town so calm about everything? She grumbled. After the fairies event she had suspected the town to freak out but the next day everyone acted the same. It really bugged her.
The golf carts moved through the forests slower than the Pines seemed to like. Both were swerving and jerking left and right to avoid trees and Bree was falling behind slightly. Though she wasn't as invested in all this. At least until she noticed a group of unicorns jogging between her and the Pines. "Hey." She looked at the man next to her, who was looking pale and clinging to the armrest next to him. She rolled her eyes. "Call someone on the other cart and warn them-." She was cut off as the unicorns charged out of the forest, horns down towards Dipper's cart.
"Oh forget this. Hold on!" Bree yelled and slammed her foot down recklessly. The cart jolted forward and zipped straight towards the unicorn. She hit it at full speed and it let out a pained cry before flying over Dipper's cart.
"Bree?" Dipper's voice almost couldn't be heard.
"WATCH OUT FOR THE SIDES!" Bree yelled as loudly as she could. Hopefully Ford would hear as well. Bree and Dipper both moved their carts down along the path, keeping an eye along their way. Ford drove a mile or so ahead of them, being way more reckless than the two younger ones. Bree gasped as something slammed into the back of her cart and she was thrown out of the cart. She slammed into the ground and gasped in pain.
A unicorn reared up above her suddenly and Bree froze. No! A small red form darted into the unicorn's path distracting it. Bree rolled out of the way of the hooves and started to run towards the cart. It looked like the student who had been sitting next to her had manned up and taken control of the wheel.
"Bree!" Dipper's cart was closer to hers now. He held out his hand and Bree took it. Sliding into place next to him on the front seat. Luckily no one else was sitting up there. They were all cowering in the back seats.
"What do we do?" Bree asked, barely able to get the words out.
"I don't … Bree check and see if you can see anything around any of the unicorn's necks!"
"What?"
"Just trust me!" Dipper yelled.
"Fine." Bree scanned over the unicorns running around them. None of them had anything-. "There!" She pointed at a unicorn with a blue horn and flowing pink and blue mane. "It looks like… Bones… Hang on… It looks like the same kind of necklace that the fairy queen was wearing."
"I knew it." Dipper growled.
"Dipper what is going on?" Bree glanced back at him for a second before finding the unicorn again. It was heading straight at Ford. "Dipper it's heading towards Ford."
"Hang on!" Dipper yelled and slammed on the gas peddle. Bree had to cling onto the cart's armrest so she didn't get flung off. "Bree you need to get that necklace of bones off the unicorn."
"What?" Bree glared at Dipper. "You expect me to try and get that thing off the unicorn! I'll die before I get close enough." She eyed the unicorn's horn. "You do it or I'll do it." Dipper yelled as he jerked the cart to get closer.
"I'll do it." Bree grumbled. She wasn't sure she trusted Dipper to drive and grab the necklace. Dipper nodded and the cart moved closer.
Bree shivered and touched her necklace for courage. "Help me out my old friend." She whispered, and then leaned out. Her fingers brushed the necklace when the Unicorn turned to look at her. It's purple eyes seemed cold and dark. Bree tightened her grip on the bones and pulled. The unicorn pulled away and Bree would have tumbled out if Dipper didn't grab her arm. At the same time as the Unicorn pulled away Dipper jerked the cart in the other direction and there was a large snap. Bree tumbled into Dipper and the unicorn ran away, leaving the bones scattered along the ground.
"Good job." Dipper smiled and slowed his cart.
"ARE YOU CRAZY KEEP GOING!" A woman yelled.
Dipper?" Bree asked.
"We should be okay now."
"Dipper!" Ford was driving his golf cart back towards them. Bree couldn't help but notice how beat up his cart looked. Well she couldn't really blame him for all that… after all she had crashed her own cart not that long ago. "Is everyone okay?" Ford asked, stopping his cart. "Bree? WHere's your cart?"
"Probably on it's way back down to the school… You might have lost half your class this year Ford."
"Is this what it's like every year?" A woman asked from Ford's cart.
"No usually we don't have any issues like this. In fact I don't even bring anyone near the unicorns in my classes." He rubbed his chin. "Dipper are those bones on the ground?"
"Yeah." Dipper nodded. "They were around one of the unicorn's necks."
"I see… He's getting more aggressive." Ford whispered.
He? Bree frowned and glacned at Dipper. He seemed to know what Ford was talking about but wasn't saying anything. What are the pines up against?
"Let's head back to campus." Ford sighed. "Make sure everyone is alright."
Everyone groaned in thanks.
Bree settled back in her seat and looked at Dipper. "So what is this all about?" He didn't look at her as he drove.
"I'll explain later." He whispered. "I promise."
Bree had never been more tempted to explore Dipper's mind since she had gotten to know him. "Okay…" She whispered and closed her eyes and closed her eyes. But if you don't… I might break my promise… or just explore Ford's mind. She listened to the sounds of the forest, hearing many whispering voices. She caught the words Unicorn, bones, and control. What is going on here in Gravity falls?
