Child of a Dream Demon [Gravity Falls]

Chapter 5: Carpet Diem

[•Dipper's POV•]
"Oh Dipper, how 'bout this monster? Have we found that yet?" Mabel asks as she pointed on a creature from the journal.

"Mabel, they aren't monsters, their just creatures with different features than what people normally see." I reasoned.

"But that doesn't change the fact that they're big scary monsters!" She exclaimed while waving her hands childishly.

BEEP BEEP BEEP

Mabel's alarm clock went off, making her squeal with excitement.

Ugh, don't tell me...

"Candy and Grenda?" I asked.

"Yup! And this time we're doing it here!" Mabel replied.

My eyes widen of horror at this new information that Mabel didn't tell me about.

"Mabel, you didn't tell me anything about them coming over." I said sternly. I saw her gulp and sweatdropped at my words.

"U-um, well, about that..." She was about to explain but trailed off

'𝘏𝘰𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘢𝘥𝘥𝘭𝘦𝘴, 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘐 𝘴𝘢𝘺!?' She mentally panicked.

Knock Knock Knock

But the knock of the door interrupted us.

"*Sigh* I'll get it." I huffed.

"Wait Dipper!" Mabel called out but I ignored her.

I opened the door to meet with her friends Candy and Grenda. They looked up at me, who had a very cold face and aura surrounding me. They were stiff and sweating a bit while staring at my cold eyes intently.

"Girls." I smiled, but I still had the same cold features.

"H-hello Dipper, is Mabel home?" Grenda asked.

"Yes, why are you guys here at this hour?" I asked.

"Um, Mabel said we'd be having a sleepover here. She said she got your and Grunkle Stan's permission." Candy answered.

OLHUV

"Oh? I don't remember her asking me anything about having a sleepover here. Isn't it usually at one of your houses?" I asked for confirmation. They nodded.

"Girls!" Mabel called out from behind me. I turned around still holding the door knob, I saw Mabel with a worried and concerned expression.

"Mabel!" The two exclaimed.

'𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴! 𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘳!' They thought in relief.

"Um, Dipper, we're gonna go to our room now. And, you know, do sleepover stuff." Mabel informed.

'𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴' She thought self-consciously.

I looked coldly at her.

"I'll let it slide this once, but there won't be a next time." I warned her.

"Yes." She replied. Gesturing Candy and Grenda upstairs, they followed, leaving me by the door alone. I gave out an exasperated sigh.

I should really get my own room, again. I never thought sleeping in the same room with Mabel would be this draining. The last time we slept in the same room was, I think when I was 10? After that, Mabel's parents finally decided that I get my own room.

I walked in the living room and laid on the couch. Trying to get in a comfortable position.

No matter how many times I warn or try to discipline Mabel, she doesn't listen nor learn. I can hardly keep my calm and quiet features in place.
