Markiplier's Museum of Mystery

Chapter One

Chapter One

Ana Andrews never thought something as simple as an email could completely change her life. But her mind quickly changed when she woke up on a summer Saturday morning, well rested from being able to sleep in since it was the weekend. She checked the time and knew she should keep her eyes open and begin to wake up, so she pulled her phone out from under her pillow and started checking apps.

She scrolled mindlessly for a bit on social media, liking posts on autopilot. Her email was the last thing she checked - she mostly received things from stores she shopped at, and she almost never got anything important. But today was different.

Today, she had an email from Markiplier.

Her first thought was that it was some member perk, a code for a discount on merch, maybe some other random promotional thing. But it was much more than any of those things. It was the life changing email she had been hoping for, but not expecting at all.

To: Ana

From: Markiplier

Dear Ana,

Congratulations! You have won tickets for you and 3 friends to come visit my brand new attraction: Markiplier's Museum of Mystery! The 4 of you will be the very first visitors and will get to see the museum before any other fans! You will be flown out to Los Angeles on Thursday, July 12th, and accommodations have been made at a hotel for you in the area. You will be treated to a dinner with me on Thursday and you will take a private tour of the museum with me on Friday. Your museum tickets are attached and I will be in touch to finalize flight and hotel arrangements in the very near future. I look forward to meeting you soon. Thank you for being a loyal member!

With appreciation,

Mark

Ana's stomach quickly dropped. It was the same kind of nervous excitement she had felt when she got tickets to see Panic! At the Disco, or when she went to her first Blackhawks game. The butterflies flew madly in her stomach, and she was suddenly wide awake. She immediately opened her group chat with her 3 best friends and fellow Markiplier fans so she could tell them the incredible news.

Group Chat: Markiplites Unite

Ana: Guys guys guys this is an emergency I fucking won Mark's contest. I won tickets to the museum. 4 of them. Which means we're all going!

Ana sent a screenshot of the email with her message, and it didn't take long at all for her friends to respond in the chat.

Joy: OH MY GOD I can't believe you won! That's incredible! I may or may not be screeching right now

Lily: I'm screaming right now are you serious? jasdkfasfh ahhhhhh!!!

Rose: Holy shit and you want to take us hooligans with?!

Ana: Of course I want to take you guys! I mean that's what we said when we found out and entered, right? That if any of us won we'd all go together? Besides, I don't have any other friends who are as obsessed with Mark as I am except for the 3 of you. It wouldn't be right to leave you guys out!

Joy: Fingers crossed that I can get off work, I wish this was on a Saturday. Not that I'm complaining because wtf Mark Fischbach is literally taking us to dinner and choosing to hang out with complete stranger fangirls and that's the coolest thing ever but god I hope I get off work

Rose: You've got sick days, right? If nobody switches with you, you're sick on those days. Deathly ill with a week to live. I don't care if I can get off of work or not, I'm going
