Gravity Falls: Truth Or Dare

Sorrow And Misery

HonestMongoose: "Oh..."

Dipper: "Is it a dare?"

Mabel: Is it a truth?"

Dipper: (accusingly) "Mabel, it's never a truth. You know that."

Mabel: "Then why is this book called Gravity Falls Truth or Dare?"

Dipper: "This isn't a book! That's just what the mongoose guy wants you to believe!"

HonestMongoose: "Both of you, be quiet!"

*The mouths disappear from the children's faces.*

HonestMongoose: "That's better. Now, today, we have a most sorrowful and disturbing dare... cocobeans12 dares:
I dare Mabel to rip her favorite sweater."

*All birds, insects, people, wind, and leaves in the world fall silent.*

Dipper: "..."

Stan: "..."

Ford: "..."

Soos: "..."

Wendy: "..."

Etcetera: "..."

Mabel: (looks at her shooting star sweater) "Cocobeans12... you have killed a thousand innocent piglets' dreams today."

*3 hours later*

Mabel: "Thank you, everyone, for coming."

*Quietly, citizens are filling the Mystery Shack. Mabel's favorite sweater is in a coffin, un-ripped, and Mabel is behind a podium. Guests sit in chairs, murmur quietly, blow their noses, and wipe their tear-stained eyes.*

Mabel: "Today, we are gathered here to say goodbye to a most faithful companion... my sweater. Amongst my hundreds, this one has always proven true, kind, and loving. It is a glowing light in the sweater realm.
"But today, a terrible curse has befallen us. The magic of dares binds me, as it binds us all, and today, I must tear this sweater in half. Please say your goodbyes."

Stan: (places a 20 dollar bill in the casket) "Buy yourself something nice in the afterlife." (Walks mournfully away.)

Soos's Grandma: "I have no connection to you whatsoever. I am only here because Soos asked me to come."

Toby Determined: "Please, tell me, how do you feel about the upcoming events?"

Soos: "I... I can't watch!" (Runs from the room, crying.)

Soos's Grandma: "That is why I am here." (Calmly walks after Soos.)

Mabel: "Okay, take your seats, folks, take your seats. Thank you." (Turns to the sweater.) "Shooting star sweater, you have lasted me throughout the years. Every good day or bad day, I could always count on you. I... I really don't know what else to say other than..." (Picks up the sweater and looks away, tears filling her eyes.) "Bwap!"

***

*A loud rip echoes across the planet. As predicted, exactly 1000 innocent piglets give up on their dreams and die because there is no point to life anymore.*

*No children play outside. Everyone is inside their houses, huddling around small fires. No lights are on. Darkness has gripped the Earth, bringing sorrow and despair with it.*

*The sun is covered by clouds.*

*The rip echoes on.*

*Rip...*

***

*Mabel stands solemnly, holding the two halves of her sweater.*

Deep Voice From the Heavens: "It is finished."

*The next day*

Dipper: (nervously enters Mabel's room.) "Hi, Mabel. Are you... are you..."

Mabel: (notices Dipper) "Am I what?" (Mabel appears perfectly cheerful.)

*Dipper blinks a few times. He rubs his eyes. He slaps himself to make sure he's not dreaming.*

Dipper: "Are you... wearing your favorite sweater?"

Mabel: "Yup!"

*It's true. Mabel is wearing an un-ripped shooting star sweater.*

Mabel: "Oh, Dipper, did you not know that I have one hundred of these sweaters? I was planning to give them out to the Mabel fan club, but decided to use this one for myself."

Dipper: "Wha- Mabel fan club?"

*Mabel opens her window to look at Candy and Grenda wearing shooting star sweaters and pink headbands.*

Grenda: "You're the MAN, Mabel!"

Mabel: "You know it!" (Fires a T-Shirt gun at the duo, who scream in delight and faint.)

Dipper: "You paid them."

Mabel: You know it!" (Fires T-Shirt gun at Dipper, hitting him directly in the face.)
