Child of a Dream Demon [Gravity Falls]

Chapter 4: The Deep End

[•Dipper's POV•]
Ever since Mabel won that pig from the fair, she and her friends have been talking and playing with it like a real person. Is this really how meatsacks take care of animals?

Mabel I somewhat understand, but her friends Candy and Grenda? They looked and even spoke like normal meatsacks. Maybe Mabel's attitude is rubbing on them.

Gideon hasn't been giving us any space either, he really wants his revenge. I SO really want to burn him alive everytime I see him and his annoying accent echoing through my head. The scar I got from his damn amulet just healed two days ago, and Mabel advises that I wear gloves next time I plan to break something sharp.

The gnomes are doing an excellent job at doing my favour. They came by the other day with their progress, and let me say, they were better than I thought.

Speaking of, Mabel and I have also been "mystery hunting" (so she calls it) the past few weeks.

"Ugh, its so hooootttt." Mabel whined.

"I'm too lazy to do anything." Soos shared.

"I need more ice cream." Stan complained.

I feel bad for their meatsack bodies. I on the other hand, have an AC inside my body. I may be sweating real hard on the outside, but the inside, Im cool as the north pole. Im also reading the daily news since I got bored.

Did I mention that Stan has a somewhat familiar aura as my kidnapper/Author of the journal? Well, if I didn't, now I am. And I DO NOT like it one bit, he could be an accomplice for all I know. So, I am very wary of him. I also try not to get caught with the journal in hand, Im afraid he might steal it from me.

"Hey bro bro, why aren't you taking off your shirt? Your sweating a lot." Mabel pointed out.

'𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘰𝘧𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺' She mentally fangirled.

"Don't think I don't know what your thinking Mabel." I warned her. She laughed at my assumed joke.

Oh, how wrong she is.

"What do you mean kid?" Stan asked.

"Oh, you know, Dipper is really hot with his shirt off." Mabel replied with a simpy voice. Her comment made everyone look up from their lazy state and a face that said 'I don't wanna believe it, but he does look like it'.

"Show us." Soos said interested, squinting his eyes.

"Lemme see what you got kid." Stan dared.

"No." I deadpanned.

"The Gravity Falls pool will be opening soon! So get your swimming gear ready, cuz the pool will give you quite the wet chill." The host from the radio interrupted.

"A pool!" Everyone but me yelled with excitement.

"Let's go!" Mabel cheered.

| ~Time Skip to the pool~ |

After extinguishing Stan from the fire he set on himself. We finally arrived at the pool, where I, had no intentions on getting in.

"*GASP* Who is that!?" Mabel exclaimed. She pointed to the boy who was sitting in the pool, alone.

I could feel a familiar aura emitting from him. It was an aura of a mermaid. What's a Merman such us himself doing here?

"Oh him, I heard a rumour that he never leaves the pool and is a mysterious loner." Soos explained.
