A week and a couple of days have past and you and Wendy have already become pretty close. She seems to really enjoy being around you and isn't afraid to show affection to you in public. She's already given you her phone number, (615)-340-618, and you text each other almost every single day. She's already introduced you to her friends who seem to barely remember you but welcome you anyway. She's also introduced you to Dipper, Mabel, Soos, and Stan. You and Dipper have gotten along pretty well as you both share a lot of interests like how you both like to play Dungeons, Dungeons, and More Dungeons. He's shown you the journal he found in the woods. At first you didn't think the stuff was real and thought it was all part of his imagination and that he either bought it or has really good drawing skills.
A couple days later Dipper showed you the same tree that opened the secret compartment that held it which convinced you. Mabel has been an absolute sweetheart to you. Her various sweaters have always brought a smile to your face. Soos has been like a brother to you. You two have hung out at the arcade almost every day and he's even tought you some of his handyman skills. Stan has been a bit of a mystery to you. You don't know that much about him but for the most part he's pretty funny and he seems to treat you like Wendy and Soos. Sarcastic mostly, but shows some love.
Yesterday
You tell your parents you're going to see Wendy and head out. On your way a van pulls up to you and it turns out to be the guys. You jump in and the head for the Mystery Shack. You soon make it where you can see Wendy on top of the roof along with Dipper and Mabel. Thompson takes his hand out of the window and waves it. "Wendy!" he calls out. Wendy turns and talks to the kids for a little bit before jumping onto and riding two pine trees down to the ground and gets in the van.
The Next Day
You all are waiting outside of the Shack for Wendy again to hang out and decide to throw jellybeans into Thompson's bellybutton while Lee and Nate hold him upside down. "In the belly! In the belly!" Lee and Nate chant. "Hurry up!" Thompson pleads. Lee and Nate chant some more when Wendy throws one straight into his bellybutton. "Wendy!!" everyone yells. Lee and Nate drop Thomson and they say her name twice. "Hey guys," Wendy says. Mabel runs towards you and hugs you since you already know her and Dipper. "Good to see you again Y/N!" Mabel says finally letting go. "You know them?" Nate asks. "Yeah" you reply. "Met them a couple of days ago." Wendy introduces Mabel and Dipper to the rest of the guys. "I chewed my gum so it looks like a brain!" Mabel says showing the chewed up peice. It kinda looks like it.
"She's not much for first impressions. Unlike this guy!" Dipper says pointing at himself with both hands. He starts to sweat. Wendy then introduces the guys to the kids. Soon you all get in the van. "Okay just, before we go," Thompson begins. "my mom said you aren't allowed to punch the roof anymore, so..." Everyone, including you, start punching the roof and chanting Thompson's name. A couple of minutes pass and you hear Mabel yell out girlfriend but it sounds like she was silenced after saying girl.
Night Time
The van stops at an abandoned convenience store called "Dusk 2 Dawn". Everyone seems cool with it except for Dipper who seems nervous. Everyone climbs over the fence but Dipper and you end up helping him. "Thanks, Y/N" he says quietly. You wink at him. You can relate to the kid, knowing what it's like to impress the older kids. Wendy looks through the glass saying how it's amazing. You try to open the door but it's locked. "Let me take a crack at it!" Dipper says running over.
"I'm sorry dude," you tell him. "but if I can't open it I'm not sure how you can." Wendy speaks up. "Come on, leave him alone. He's just a little kid." Dipper, with a determined look, tips his hat, and goes behind the store. He jumps onto the garbage cans and onto the roof. He starts punching the vents enough to get them open, and crawls inside. "Hey Dipper! Take it easy!" Wendy yells. A couple seconds pass and Dipper opens the door from the inside with a big smile on his face and lets everyone inside.
Nate gives him the nickname "Dr Funtimes" and Mabel high fives him. After everyone gets inside you enter. "Hey, sorry for doubting you man" you tell him. "You're more badass than I gave you credit for." Dipper smiles. You all explore the no lights store together when Wendy finds the switch. "Guys, check it out! You think they still work?" She flips the switch and sure enough everything electronic turns on. "Jackpot!" Mabel exclaims. "So, what are we gonna do now?" Dipper asks. "Anything we want." Wendy replies. After eating a bunch of snack food, having a bunch of balloon fights but with juice,
Hitting each other's stomach's with old cat litter bags,
and dropping three mints into a gallon of Pit Cola,
you grab some ice bags and start dropping ice into Thompson's pants. You soon run out of ice and ask for some more. Dipper volunteers to get some from the ice machine. Seconds later you hear Dipper scream and everyone heads over to the ice machine. "What was that?" Lee asks. "Thought I heard some lady scream back here." Nate speaks up. "You freaking out kid?" he asks flaying his arms crazily. "No, no I'm cool. Everything's cool" Dipper replies, nervously chuckling. "Then what's all this about?" you ask pointing to the spilled ice bag. "Oh, that's uh...uh gasp hey look!" He points over to an arcade machine.
"Dancy Pants Revolution! The game that tricks people into exercising!" Everyone but you go towards it. You kneel to Dipper. "Come on kid. I know you better than that. What's going on?" Dipper sighs. "I saw something in the ice machine and it made me scream." You open the door to find nothing but bags full of ice cubes. "Your mind is probably playing tricks on you" you tell him. "Let me know if it happens again. I won't make fun of you." You rustle Dippers hat making him feel better. "Come on, let's catch up with them." You both walk over to see Thompson doing terribly at the game while everyone else cheers him on. "Wow," Wendy says. "he's really terrible at this."
You look over at Dipper and see him rubbing his eyes and looking at the window. "I'll be right back" he says running away. Well his sister went somewhere else. Maybe he went looking for her. You thought to yourself. You continue to watch Thompson but you soon get bored. You go behind the register and find some scratch offs. You start scratching with a nearby quarter but you drop it. You go pick it up but you as you rise from the ground you see a silouet of two people in white chalk. "Woah. Guys, you might wanna see this..." you say starstruck, and kind of intrigued. Everyone soon gathers around and starts murmuring in awe. "Woah," Lee says. "the rumors are true." Dipper gulps.
You smile as you get an idea. "Dare you to lie down in it." Wendy smiles and snickers at your dare. "Good idea. Go lie down in it" Lee tells Nate as he playfully hits him on the shoulder. "Heh, I'm a dead body, look!" Nate slowly puts his foot in the silouet when Dipper yells out "Wait! Maybe let's not do that." Lee points at Dipper and tells everyone he's scared. "All I'm saying is, why attempt the fates? I mean what if this place really is.....haunted?" Everyone starts to groan, except for you. You understand a little bit why the kid is doubtful about doing this.
"Take it down a notch Captain Buzzkill" Nate says crossing his arms. "But I thought I was Dr Funtimes..." Dipper says sadly. "Well your acting like Captain Buzkill, right?" Nate asks everyone and everyone shakes their head yes. Even Wendy. "Yeah, little bit" she says rubbing her arm. Dipper sighs. "Staus update," Tambry says aloud while texting on her phone. "trapped in store with insane nine year old." Dipper gets mad and lays on the silouet. "I'm not a nine year old! I'm thirteen! Technically a teen!!" The silouet glows green around Dipper as everyone starts murmuring again.
All of the power goes out as well. Suddenly, Tambry starts glowing and soon disappears leaving only her phone. Dipper picks it up and sees her new status update. "Aaaaaaaaahhh." The TV's screen soon turns on where Tambry is trapped inside. She bangs on the screen screaming making everyone else scream. "Tambry! Tambry!!" Wendy yells for her friend. "Can you hear us?" Dipper asks, but Tambry says nothing with her mouth hanging open and screams silently.
"What are we supposed to do?" Nate asks Lee, who doesn't know at all. "We gotta get outta here!" you yell out. "Thompson!" Wendy calls out. Thompson is still playing the game. "Wait!" Thompson says. "I almost have the high score!" Thompson starts glowing and disappears just like Tambry. Instead, he ends up trapped in the video game and starts getting beat up by various arrows. Thompson curls up in a ball and starts crying.
The doors of the store slam and Wendy tries to get it open, saying it's locked. You pick up the cash register and try throwing it at the doors but it only dissolves into a flashing green light. "Everybody, wait!" Dipper says. "Whatever is doing this must have some kind of reason." Dipper takes out his journal in looks in the section of ghosts. "Maybe if we could figure out what it is, then they'll let us outta here!" Nate and Lee deny and fully doubt that'll work, but you and Wendy defend Dipper saying he may have a point. "Yeah, right!" Lee says. "I'm sure the guy just wants to talk about his feelings!" Lee floats in the air and soon disappears as well. He ends up getting trapped in a cereal box and the bird mascot eats him.
"Okay okay in with you kid. One hundred percent man..." Nate says taking off his hat. Behind him Mabel's glowing body rises from the ground with her eyes completely white.
"Welcome..." she says but in a deep voice, possessed by the ghost. Everyone screams. "Welcome to your graves, young trespassers." The ghost starts to laugh maniacally. Wendy tries apologizing to the ghost and Dipper asks nicely if you all can just leave. "Well, okay. You're free to go." The doors open. "But before you leave," the ghost says floating over to a rotating hot dog cooking machine.
"Hot dogs are now half off. I know I might be crazy, but you've gotta try these dogs!" Nate screams and tries running for it but the doors close before he can get out. "Just kidding about the hot dog sale!" the ghost says angrily. "Just let us outta here already!" Nate says as you hold him back from attacking Mabel's body. Mabel's eyes glow as Nate disappears into the hot dog machine as a hot dog.
"It begins..." the ghosts says as everything in the store starts floating up the the ceiling. It seems as if gravity has just given up and the surfaces have switched places.
"Welcome to your home for all eternity!" the ghost says. The rest of you stand up. You actually are a little scared of how this is going to turn out. "What do we do?" Wendy asks. You find the ice machine but also a cupboard. "In there!" You say pointing to them. You all run towards them. You and Wendy get in the ice machine and Dipper gets in the cupboard. In the ice machine, Wendy shivers because how cold it is inside.
At least all of the ice bags flew out. You hug her trying to make her feel warm. "Feel better?" you ask. She hugs you back smiling. "Yeah...much better." Wendy gets scared again. "What do they want from us, Y/N?" she asks. "Not sure. Let's see what everyone was doing. That might explain why they were captured. Tambry was texting, Thompson was playing a video game, Lee was being sarcastic, it makes no sense!" Wendy points out those are just normal teenage things. Your eyes widen. You ask Wendy to repeat what she said and she does. It all makes sense now. You have to act now or it'll be too late. "Dipper!" you say outloud. "What?" Wendy asks.
"Stay here" you say opening the ice machine looking for Dipper. "Hey ghost!!" You hear him shout. You turn your head and you see Dipper floating up in the air with the ghost. "Oh no...kid..." you say assuming he's been possessed by the other ghost. "I'm not a teenager!!!" Dipper shouts making you feel relieved. Kid's smart for his age... you think to yourself as Mabel's eyes go back to normal and she stops glowing, and Dipper falls back down onto the ceiling. The ghosts finally reveal themselves to be an elderly couple.
