Summer Myst

Chapter Ten (For Real This Time)

"It's my first night staying with the Pines family and-" my diary entry is interrupted by Mabel. She crashes into me, in a fit of laughter. She looks at me like she's about to apologize, but she can't stop laughing.
"Are you high?" I ask jokingly, then I notice the pack of smile dip. She stares at me blankly, then starts laughing uncontrollably again, laying on the floor and clutching her stomach. I think about getting up and getting help, but then I realize I probably shouldn't leave her by herself.
"HEY DIPPER?!!!!!!!!" I yell, hoping my voice carries down the stairs. I wait- no answer. I try to take Mabel by the arm and help her up, but she's laughing so hard she can't stand up at all and I'm too weak to pull up her whole weight. I take another quick glance at her and then walk halfway down the stairs.
"DIPPER!!!!! YOU'RE SISTER IS ON A SMILE-DIP TRIP AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!" I yell at the top of my lungs.
I hear a distant "I'm coming!!!" and soon after, Dipper shows up and runs up the stairs. Mabel is still laughing.
"What happened to her?" He asks worriedly.
"I- I don't know! I was just sitting there and- she just- I DON'T KNOW THIS ISN'T NORMAL!!!!!" I shriek.
Dipper runs over to Mabel and kneels next to her.
"Mabel! Are you okay?" He asks desperately, shaking her shoulders gently.  Mabel stops laughing, then starts laughing again- but more normal, less smile- dip crazy.
"GOT YOU GUYS!!!! Haha! Happy July Fool's!!!!" says
Mabel.
"Mabel, you really scared me!" I say.
"Also, 'July Fool's' isn't a thing." Says Dipper.
"Exactly! So no one is expecting you to prank them, are they?!" Says Mabel.
Dipper looks at me.
I shrug. "Mabel logic." I say.
"KIDS!!!!! LIGHTS OUT!!!! BRUSH YOUR TEETH AND ALL THAT PARENTING STUFF!!!!!" yells Stan.
"OKAY GOODNIGHT GRUNKLE STAN!!!" Yells Mabel, crawling into bed, having already put on her pyjamas earlier. I rifle through my suitcase and find some pyjamas.
"Brb!" I say. I go downstairs and get changed in the bathroom. I'm fixing my hair a bit when there's a knock on the door. I walk over to it and see Dipper standing there.
"Hey... Um.... Are you done?" He asks awkwardly.
"All yours!" I say, taking my clothes and walking out of the bathroom, giving Dipper a quick kiss on the cheek. We both blush a little. Even though we're together now, we're still kind of awkward sometimes.
I go back upstairs and find Mabel sitting on her bed, leaning against her headboard with earbuds in.
"Hey! Stan said 'lights out'!" I say jokingly, flicking off the light. The sun just set, so it's still fairly bright.
"Well the lights are out now aren't they?" says Mabel, smirking.
A few minutes later, Dipper comes in and dumps his dirty clothes in the hamper.
"Why is it so dark in here?" He asks, walking towards his bed.
"All the better to see you with my dear..." I say in a creepy witch-like voice.
"That definitely makes sense and isn't at all creepy!" says Dipper, laughing. He gets into his bed and I crawl into my small air mattress, which is blown up between Dipper and Mabel's beds.
"I kind of want to read for a bit. If I'm going to disturb you guys I can go somewhere else." says Dipper.
"No it's okay I'm going to read too." I say.
"OH NO THERE'S TWO OF YOU!!!!" Moans Mabel, rolling over. Dipper and I laugh. Poor Mabel. She's gonna have to deal with a second Dipper all summer. I smile and open my book to where I left off on page 394. (Cough, Harry Potter reference, cough)

      Timeskip by homicidal animatronics (sorry, I had to!)

Everything happens very fast. I sit bolt upright in bed, covered in sweat and tears running down my face, at the same time I hear someone hysterically screaming Dipper's name, and the rustle of blankets being thrown aside and a flashlight gently falling against the wall. I open my eyes to find Dipper kneeling beside my air mattress holding my hand, a worried expression on his face. Once my eyes open, he sees the panicked look on my face. (This all happens within a second, literally, now things slow down at this point.) All I can hear in the silent room is my shaky breath and sobs. Dipper lets go of my hand and sits beside me on  my air mattress. I sit up and he wraps one arm around my waist, and puts his other hand against my upper back, hugging me tightly as I sob uncontrollably into his shoulder.
"It's okay, you're okay, it was just a dream, okay? It wasn't real. I still get them too." Dipper repeats these sentences to me over and over trying to calm me down. I hear blankets rustling behind me, then a tired Mabel saying, "What's happening? Who was screaming?"
I realize I must have been the person screaming Dipper's name. I blush in the darkness. (Since there's not much darkness in summer, imagine this happening at the absolute middle of the night.)
I pull away from Dipper (who puts his other arm around my waist as well as the other one) and wipe my eyes on the blanket.
"I- I had a n- nightmare Mabel. G-go back to sleep. I- I'm fine." I say, breath still shaking.
"No, you're not fine! I've had nightmares where I wake up just like you did, and it took me way longer to get over it!" says Dipper, his voice cracking a few times. I smile.
"What? Why are you smiling?" He asks.
"This really isn't the time, but you're so cute when you're mad!" I say, laughing a little. Mabel makes a gagging noise.
"Get a rooooooom!" she says.
"I thought you shipped us so much?" I tease.
"I do, but right now it's 2am!!!!" She says.
Dipper smiles, but quickly turns serious again,.
"Can you tell me about your dream?" he asks.
I shake my head. "No it's too.... too horrifying."
"I know, but I need you to tell me so we can analyze what it means. Please. This could be important."
I smile to myself, thinking about how much Dipper and Mabel cared for me. My mind flashed back to a few years ago during the school year. I was running low on friends as mostly everyone had gotten annoyed with my personality and I only had two good friends left after one moved away. I remember after that one friend moved away. It was a lunch hour, and my other two friends (which were Mia and another girl) where not around because the other girl always goes home for lunch and Mia was sick that day and had stayed home. I remember I was sitting at a table by myself, afraid of the judging looks from all the snobs that were thinking "Omg look at that dork over there with no friends." This was the first day I ever met Mabel and Dipper. They had came and sat with me and asked why I was alone. I explained to them and they felt bad for me. They told me they had just moved here. I got to know them better and found out my personality was like, half-Mabel half-Dipper. Only a few weeks later, while eating lunch with Mia, Dipper, and Mabel did I realize I liked Dipper.
"Umm are you okay Olivia?" asks Dipper, snapping me back to reality.
"Oh umm yeah... what were we talking about?" I ask.
"You were telling us about your dream?" says Mabel, more of a question than an answer.
"I- it was so bad!" I say, tears starting to roll down my cheeks again. "A-a-all my f- friends and f-f-family were- were dead. I-I was crying, and was down on my knees crying next to th-the bodies. And in the midst of it all was- was Bill, just laughing maniacally! It- it was really bad- blood everywhere!" I can barely get the last sentence in before bursting into tears.
"Okay, it's okay! That can't happen, you're just worrying about Bill because of the other day. You'll be fine." says Dipper, trying to sound convincing.
"No! You don't get it!" I wail. "In my family, whenever someone is about to die, ONE OF US HAS A DREAM ABOUT THAT PERSON DYING!!!" I shriek.
Mabel and Dipper just sit there and reassure me until I fall back asleep.........

My P.O.V

"It has been a week since the awful dream I had. The next couple days after that were filled with fear and paranoia, but everything quickly returned to normal." I finish writing and go find Mabel.

*Spongebob guy- "Two minutes later."

Dipper's P.O.V
I'm sitting in my bed reading about gnomes in the journal, and I suddenly hear a scream, a thud, and a bunch of hysterical laughter coming from downstairs. It sounded like Mabel and Olivia's screams and laughing, so I quickly ran downstairs to see what was up. I followed the laughter and occasional "ows" and the sound of a camera shutter going off to the living room.
When I get to the living room, I see Mabel and Olivia sitting at the small table. Well, sort of. I see Olivia on the floor, laughing, laying next to her chair. Mabel is standing up next to Olivia, laughing and taking pictures and videos on Snapchat. I'm guessing Olivia fell off her chair, then I see a "game over" screen on Olivia's laptop.
"What the heck is going on out here?!" I ask, running up to Olivia and helping her up. When I take her hand to pull her up, I notice it is shaking badly.
"Are you okay? You're shaking!" I ask her. Her and Mabel are both still laughing their heads off.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. I was just playing FNAF!" Olivia says casually.
"The heck is a FNAF?" I ask her worriedly.
"It's a game about a bunch of animatronics trying to kill you while you work as a night guard. There's lots of jump scares in it too. I.E, Olivia lying on the floor beside her chair." explains Mabel in between laughter.
I turn to Olivia. "YOU WERE PLAYING FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S?! WHAT IS- WHHHYYYY?!" I shouted. She giggles.
"Calm down Dipper! It's not that bad! I promise!" she says.

           *Spongebob guy- "Five minutes later."*
   My P.O.V:
Me, Dipper and Mabel were sitting around the laptop while I played FNAF.
"NO LOOK AT THE CAMERA WHAT ARE YOU DOING??!!!" Shouts Mabel as I flicked the lights.
"No, no it's fine as long as they aren't here I don't need to che- "
"FOXYYYY!!!" yells Mabel in my ear.
"OMIGOSH NO I TOTALLY FORGOT!!!" I quickly check the camera and sure enough the curtains are open and Foxy is gone. Acting quickly, I close the cameras and slam the door shut.
"Chill, it's fine." I say. There is knocking on the door.
"Go away!" I say to the screen.
"Hey Olivia, how did you get addicted to-" says Dipper, cut off by Chica's jumpscare.
We all scream.
"NO! IT WAS FOUR AM NOOOOO!!  DIPPER YOU DISTRACTED ME!!!!!!!" I scream.
"How did I-"
"UGGGGHH WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO CUTE AND DISTRACTING!" I say, playfully hitting him in the shoulder. We all laughed and took turns playing FNAF, me having the highest score of night three.

*****A/N okay thank you so much for all of the reads, aaaand FNAF and Gravity Falls are the only things I ever talk about and reference so... I thought why not combine them?! Also, Gravity Falls fans, remember that episode "Soos and the real girl"? Yeah, preeeeetty sure Alex got the idea from FNAF, just sayin'. Okay, that's all for now, I will be probably updating over Christmas break, and speaking of FNAF, check out my new story on Wattpad, "Funny Things I Say While Playing FNAF" the title is pretty self- explanatory. Okay, ttyl, byyyyeeeeee!! <3 <3 <3
