I was shocked, dumbfounded.

"Yes, you, the Blondie in the back row." Mabel uttered, grinning at me. "Come on, don't be shy!"

Slowly, I got up, and walked forwards, towards the stage, and stood in between the two Gleefuls. I smiled shyly at the huge audience, while trying to hide my stage-fright.
"Lets have a hand for our lovely volunteer!" Mabel exclaimed, gesturing to me. The whole audience applauded on command, the occasional enthusiastic shout as well.
"Well, let's watch her disappear, shall we?" Dipper asked, smirking. "If you'd like to step into the box, Pacifica."
Dipper gestured to a tall, upright box, that wasn't too tall, or too thick in diameter. Wait, Pacifica? How did he know my name?!
Slowly, I walked into the box, and closed the door on myself, absolutely shocked that he knew name. How could he know my name?! I thought, There is no way he could have known my name!

"Well, I'll do you one better, I can disappear, without the box."

Dipper turned around, his back to the audience, and just like that, he vanished from his spot, into the box with me. My face began to heat up. Standing right there, was a gorgeous boy, and there wasn't much room in the box, so we were both forced tight together. I looked up into his blue eyes, and my cheeks turned bright red. He stared back at me, his face expressionless. I opened my mouth to speak.
"How did you-" I began, before Gleeful cut me off.
"Shut up." He whispered, barely audibly. "I have cast an invisibility spell on us. If you talk, they'll all know we're both still here."
Invisibility what?! He cast a spell on us both?! Nonsense. There's no way!
Outside the audience was once again going wild. Through a small hole in the box, I could see Mabel, who was grinning widely at the audience, and she began walking over to the box. She opened it, and to my surprise, I could see the audience all gasp in amazement, then explode in cheers and applause. Mabel then closed the door. For a split second, Dipper's eyes flashed in pure blue light.
When Mabel opened the door, Dipper stepped out, grinning, waving to the audience calmly. I slowly followed after a few seconds, looking extremely shocked still, a blush still lingering on my cheeks.
"Wow! Give a final hand for our volunteer, Pacifica Southeast!" Mabel said, placing a hand on my back and pushing me back towards my seat, which i quickly hurried off to. How did they both know my name?! Why did Dipper's eyes flash with light?! How did they do all that?! Do they actually have powers?! So many questions raced through my mind, and my mind wouldn't wait to ponder them.
