When the Twilight Rises (Gravity Falls OC Fanfic)

The Sandman

Gravity Falls... a magnet for weird and unexplainable things happening. A perfect place for creatures to live in peace... A perfect place for the girl walking into town.

She wore a black headband with a small top hat in her pink hair. A shirt with a tux design covered by a pink jacket, jeans and black boots.

She hopes that her appearance wouldn't draw too much attention, considering she's trying to stay undercover. After walking out of the bushes, she found that she's finally in the town of Gravity Falls... Where her father said IT would be.

But the only problem is... she doesn't know where IT is. Her father never gave her too much details about what it is or what it looks like. So she might have to do some research around town to gain information.

Her train of thought was cut short when a few adults ran past them, each carrying a child to a white building with a red plus on the front. Curious, she follows them inside to see various other kids laying on weird, flat beds. They appear to be sleeping, but the adults seem to be worried.

"Doctor! Please help my son! He won't wake up!"

"My daughter hasn't woken since last night! This is serious!"

"If this keeps us, all the kids in Gravity Falls are gonna be like this!"

The words the adults were speaking were vague, but the girl had some understanding as to what's going on. These kids seem to be in some deep sleep and the adults are worried about them... But this wasn't her problem, so why should she be worried?

She was about to turn and leave when two other kids around her age by appearance, mainly twelve or thirteen, came in. The boy was holding an old book with a pine tree on his hat while the girl next to him was wearing a sweater with... metal? in her teeth?

They stood on top of the chairs, which caught the adult's attention. The girl was curious, wondering what they were planning to do.

"Listen everyone! We figured out why these children are falling into a deep sleep!" The boy announced, flipping through a few pages and stopping on one. "This is the work of the Sandman, a creature that can put anyone in a deep sleep with his magical sand! If we can work together, we can save these children!"

While he spoke, the girl next to him were doing ridiculous gestures to illustrate what he was saying. It looked silly, but it also got the point across as well.

The adults looked at each other for a moment before booing at the two.

"Really? This is no time for your antics! This is a serious situation!" A woman yelled angrily.

"But... But we're telling the truth!"

The adults gave them no mind as they walked away, taking the kids to get them in bed. The Twins leave, dejected of what just happened. The girl followed them, interested in what they were talking about.

"Hey." She called out, gaining their attention. "About that Sandman... Were you really being serious?"

The twins turn to look at her, not noticing her in the hospital until now. She didn't look like anyone they met in town, But she did have quite the fashion sense.

"What's your name?" The boy asked, holding the book close.

"Uhh... Twilight, it's a nickname." She replied, hoping they wouldn't question it.

Luckily they didn't, accepting it as their answer. The girl stepped up to her, almost too close for comfort, and started asking questions.

"Is your hair dyed? What's your real name? Do you live here?"
