We Never Left

6ers Living Nightmare

*Fords Point of View

I can't believe it. Stanley is, dead. Everything..... Everything is different now.

He ruined my life. Stole my chances for my dream school. Pushed me into a portal. Got me grounded an entire summer. Lied and deceived. Cheated. Stole my name and Identity. Apparently got married under it too. Soiled my name, ruined my research, and lied to our parents. But he's always had my back.

When I was pushed around, he'd push back. When I was lost in Ciphers tricks, he was there to help. Sort of. When someone was bullying me, one 'chat' with my twin and they'd leave me alone. He helped me try to find the Jersy Devil, and we did. He always supported me until one time, and I turned on HIM. He was always there. And I never even told him thank you. Never. And now its too late.

Im kidding myself. Even Cipher can't bring back the dead. Zombies? Yeah. But that's still undead. Stanley is gone, and it is all my fault.

"Stanley, I'm sorry." I whipper. I hope he can hear me...

"Well, in YOUR words, Sixer. He was rather SUFFOCATING, wasn't he? I did you a favor!" Bill randomly appears and taunts me.

"I'll never tell you anything!" I shout at him.

"You might wanna reconsider." He chuckles.

"Never!" I reply.

"But your brother wasn't the only card in the deck, was it? And he wasn't the only one who can stack the deck!" He cackles.

"What are you- oh no" The kids.

"Lets just see what we have here, shall we? Your apprentice and kindred nerd spirit? Or the only true reminder you have left of Stanley?" He chuckles maniacally.

"You touch them and you won't learn anything from me! I WILL KILL YOU!" I hiss at him. He rubs under his eye as if he had a chin.

"Well its too late for that but we can improvise here! I got you a nerd die from that nerd game. Dungeons and Dragons." He holds out a 38 sided die.

"Dungeons and Dragons? You mean Dungeons, Dungeons and more Dungeons?" I puzzle. Wait, fantastical monetary systems and graphs aside, did he just say he hurt the kids????

"Wrong dimension. Oops. Roll it. An even number and Shooting Star gets to come play with us. Odd, and its Pinetree. Get it? Because hes a freak, and oddity! Like you! Ha!" He went into insane spasming laughter, spraying spit even though he has no mouth. Try not to think to hard on that.

"Hes not a freak!" I yell at him. He doesn't even probably hear me over his laughter.

"Just roll the die Sixer, or I'll bring 'em both up here!" He says impatiently with a roll of his eye.

"Might be difficult when I can't move ny arms." I say as calmly as possible and turn my head to look at my cuffed wrists.

Bill sighs and the chains fall away, save for one around my ankle. I cautiously step to the die. Someone is going to be hurt because of this. I'm sorry kids, but if it saves one of you...

I drop the die from my hand and it bounced off the harp floor. I watch as it turns. 8-11-15-7-9-6 it looks about to stop....... And it turned to a 3. An odd number. Dipper. Mason.

"Pinetree it is! See, isn't this fun?" Bill snickers. The chain and the floor around us lift up and float out the giant triangle door to a cluster of giant bubbles. Pink, green, blue and darker green. The symbols are familiar. A question mark, ice bag, Pinetree, and Shooting Star.

"Here we are!" Bill announced once we were at the edge of the blue bubble with a Pinetree. Dipper is in here.

"You split them up!" I accuse him.

"...-and?" He looks at me. The chain around the bubble falls away along with the one around my ankle. Bill gives me a shove and I fall through the membrane into an endless white abyss.

*Mabel's Point of View

Dipper and I went to school today. Today was strange. There were only 4 musical numbers, the vending machines were all out of gummy koalas, and only three boys fought over me. Not only that, but Dipper clicked his pen while reading, twice! Its almost scary that my life was so perfect and to find some flaws.

I'm almost certain this isn't really real though. The second I tried to check for inconveniences, they magically popped up, like "BWOP! I'M HERE NOW!"

But no harm in it right? That's what I thought. As long as I'm with my Bro. But I'm starting to think I'm not. He's almost like Dippy Fresh......

I need to get out of here.
