Gravity Falls REBORN

Fish Sticks And What Not

Now freshly dried off and ready to go, I stand up and walk over to the food stand, stomach still growling with hunger. An older lady appears in my sight, staring at me with her wrinkled eyes, probably waiting for me to speak first. "Uhhhh, I'll get the nachos?" Not changing emotions, she leaves silently, looking like she hates her life, and prepares my nachos.

'Ok, that just happened...' I straighten my mouth and rock on my heels awkwardly. My head shoots up when a ding is heard and I briefly see the lady's figure before going behind a wall. Glancing down, I see a nice, hot, tray of nachos. 'Yessssssss!' I grin widely and snatch the tray, turning on my feet, I walk back to my chair with a spring in my steps.  Finally sitting back down, I set the tray on my lap and grab a chip with cheese.

I gingerly pop it in my mouth and savor the cheese taste and salty crunch of the chip. "-ACIE!" I splutter and I spit out some chip crumbs when Dipper shouts behind me in my ear. Doing that, Dipper also caused me to stand up in my shock, successfully causing my Nachos to topple and splatter all over the concrete ground.

"OH MY GOSH, DIPPER! YOU JUST MADE ME DROP MY NACHOS!"  I gesture  down to the ground, where all of my chips have gone to. He looks down to the ground with wide eyes, then looks at me. My, soon to be dead, brother rubs the nape of his neck as he shyly laughs in embarrassment and probably fear.

"OhmygoshI'msosorry,Ididn'tknowyouhadfood!" I face palm as he starts going on about how sorry he was, but I mostly tuned him out til he's finished. "-and  I'll definitely buy you a new one."

"Sorry what? I tuned you out there, thinking about how I was gonna kill you..." I put a finger to my chin and look up into the sky.

"NO! I'll be right back!" He shouts and leaves, generating laughter to erupt.  I shake my head as I sit back down on my chair, a smile on my face. "Ok- *Huff*- I'm back. Take your nachos." Dipper leans down while extending his arm above his head and hands me the nachos. I dutifully take the  red and white checkered paper tray and set it down on my thigh, graciously chowing down.

"So," I continue chewing but I hover my hand in front to be polite, "why did you scream in my ear?"

He looks up innocently and then stands up straight. "Oh! I forgot about that, heh heh, uh, did you not hear the whistle? The pool is closing and I have to lock up....also I'm super nervous about messing it up!" At the mention of messing stuff up, Dipper starts to sweat profusely.

'Oh my poor, poor, nervous, wreck of a brother.' "Well, what's there to mess up? It's just locking a couple doors and a gate."

"That's just it! I could forget to lock a certain door! And then a thief, or, or a, er, some type of evil guy could waltz right in!"

I laugh and place a hand on his shoulder, "Dipper, you're over thinking everything! Want me to stay back and help?"

He smiles and places his hand on top of mine, "Thanks, that'd be great."

"Okay!" I rip my hand away, "I'm eating more nachos now, want some?"

He chuckles and sits to my right, "Do I!?" and starts digging in with me.

I walk out of the bathroom, the door swings shut and closes tightly, as I readjust my backpack on my shoulders, now fully dressed and dried. It's dark now, so Dipper should be starting to lock things up. I walk around until I find him by the supplies door, just now pulling a key out of the door knob. "Did you lock everything up already?" I ask, shoving my hand into my pants pocket, grabbing my phone for reassurance that it's there.
