The Gleeful Twins
"Gideon!" The boy woke up to a shout by Pacifica.
"Huh? Pacifica?" The confused boy looked at his friend. "What are you doing in my room?"
"Prepping you for going to see the Gleeful twins of course! You have to look your best! Who knows, you might catch their eye, and then they'll let you be a volunteer!"
"I don't want to look fancy just to see a magic show, Pacifica..."
"Oh, but you're gonna!"
Gideon groaned as he was pulled out of his soft and warm bed. Pacifica quickly ran to the closet and looked through it. "Seriously, not even one suit?"
Gideon shrugged lazily. "Not a big fan of fancy..."
"That means we're going shopping!" Pacifica squealed, jumping up and down.
Gideon groaned again. "Oh boy..."
[Theme song plays here]
The mall was crowded with people, but Pacifica didn't mind as she dragged her friend in and out of stores, forcing him to try on any suit his size. So far they've come up with nothing, but she did get a few outfits out of it.
"Can we go now?" Gideon asked as he was dragged into yet another store.
"Not until we find you the perfect suit!"
"Ugh..."
"Oh my gosh, look at that one!"
Pacifica showed him a small blue suit with a black shirt and white tie.
"No." Gideon said simply, but was pushed into the changing room with the suit. "Pacifica!"
Pacifica closed the door. "Just try it on! Please!?"
"Ugh, fine!"
"Yay!" Pacifica cheered before a dress caught her eye. As she went to check it out, Gideon put on the suit.
By the time Gideon had the confidence to walk out, Pacifica had bought it and sat on a bench near the dressing room. Finally, he walked out.
Pacifica's eyes widened. "Oh my gosh... You look adorable, Gideon! This is the one we're getting!"
"What!?" Gideon blushed at the statement.
Pacifica giggled. "Yep, now go and change back so we can pay for it."
Gideon sighed in relief. No more shopping.
"So we can do our hair!"
[~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~]
"I hate this."
"Aw, I think it looks nice on you."
"My hair is bigger than my head..."
"It's cute."
Gideon frowned at his reflection. His hair was all done up and the suit was on. "This show better be worth this..."
"It is. Trust me!" Pacifica smiled as she put on her pink, triangle shaped earrings. Her outfit was a purple, Long sleeved elegant shirt with the sleeves being lace. Her purple and pink, tyedye-ish skirt was long and flowing with brown sandals to go with it.
'Definitely worth it...' Gideon thought as he stared at his friend/crush.
"You ready to go see the greatest show of all time!?" She smiled.
Gideon smiled back and nodded. "Ready as I'll ever be."
[~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~]
A large, dark blue tent stood in front of the two, crowds of people lining up to buy there way in. A tall, red head girl with a black beanie and matching hoodie with an ice bag on it stood behind a table, collecting money.
The two finally made it to her and handed her their money before Pacifica dragged him in. They found their seats just as the lights dimmed and two spotlights shone on stage.
"Ladies and gentleman! Welcome to the tent of telepathy!" The voice of an old man echoed through the speakers. "Without further ado, my great niece and nephew, Dipper and Mabel!"
The crowd erupted into applause before a dark and eerie sound was played.
"Before we start the show," a deep, creepy voice was heard. "my sister and I would like to welcome Gideon Pines to town. Enjoy your summer..."
Gideon's eyes widened at the mention of his name. How did they know that!?
The music got a bit louder before a girl's voice was heard singing:
Welcome one, welcome all
To a glorious show we have tonight
Then the male's voice was heard singing:
We hope you enjoy our little trick
I hope you find yourself amazed
Then both sang as two figures appeared on stage in a puff of smoke:
Though we may look frightening
We are nothing but gifted souls
To understand our power is something that only a few can do
But, worry not, we shall not harm you
We are but gifted souls
Trying to use our powers for good...
Gideon stared at the twins, interest growing in his eyes. The two danced creepily, yet they were just as fancy and proper. The male, presumably named Dipper, was wearing a black, long sleeved shirt with a blue vest buttoned up. His pants were just plain black and he had a bow tie with a glowing blue amulet on it. Gideon could also see some sort of marking on his forehead, but he couldn't tell what it was.
The girl, presumably named Mabel, was wearing an outfit similar to her brother's, but it was more feminine. She had on a black leotard with a short blue jacket over it. Fishnet stockings were all that was on her legs, and her heels were blue. On her headband was the same amulet that Dipper had on his tie.
The two brunettes finished their little, creepy song and took a bow before Dipper said, "Thank you, dear citizens of Reverse Falls. It is an honor to preform in front of you all yet again."
Then, Mabel spoke up. "Let's get this show started with our first volunteer!"
Many people were cheering, waving their hands to try and get the Gleeful twins' attention. Pacifica was at it too.
The twins looked at each other with a grin before calling out. "Miss Jennifer Clawthorn."
A girl was heard screaming in joy before running onto stage. Dipper gently took her hand. "Miss Clawthorn, we have seen you come here again and again with hopes of becoming a volunteer. Now, your dreams are coming true."
The aura around the twins started to make Gideon even more creped out. The way they kept glancing at each other and grinning felt... unnerving to him...
The volunteer was lead to a black and blue box with small holes in it. She gently stepped inside as Mabel closed it and brought out two swords. "Do not worry! Our powers will keep her alive!"
Dipper took one of them and slid it into one of the holes. No screams were heard, but Gideon could see the smallest amount of blood forming a puddle on the ground. He blinked and it was gone.
Mabel slid the other one in, and yet again no screams were heard. The twins then took the swords out and opened the door, showing a sleeping girl. No scratches or cuts were on her body, but Gideon did notice that she looked awfully pale.
"Now we'll make her disappear." Mabel said.
They closed the door and spun it around four times. Then, they opened the door and she was gone.
"Do not worry." Dipper assured. "She is tucked in safely in her bed at this moment."
The twins grinned again as the audience applauded.
"Now, for the next volunteer!"
[~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~]
Gideon and Pacifica walked out after the show was over. Many questions were going through Gideon's head, but no answers were found.
"Wasn't that amazing!?" Pacifica smiled brightly.
"Uh... Yeah, I guess..." Gideon replied, too consumed in his thoughts.
"You guess?"
Gideon jumped at the voice. The two friends glanced back to see the Gleeful twins walking out of the shadows, towards them.
Mabel giggled. "I little jumpy there, huh?"
Pacifica's eyes were wide, words not even comprehending to come out of her mouth. Gideon, on the other hand, only had one thought: 'They look creepier up close...'
Mabel giggled again, and Dipper stood behind her silently, his judging eyes staring the two up and down.
"U-Uh, hello." Gideon awkwardly said. "I'm G-"
"We know who you are, Gideon." Mabel smiled, but her smile seemed... off... "And Pacifica."
Pacifica made a noise that sounded like a squeal and a squawk put together.
"My brother and I just wanted to say welcome to Reverse Falls. I hope you enjoyed the show?"
"Uh... Y-Yeah! I've never seen anything like that before..." Gideon said.
Dipper glaced to the side before looking at his sister. "Great Uncle Stan is calling for us."
Mabel nodded. "Well, we have to go. See you at the next show. Or maybe even sooner..."
The two walked back into the tent, leaving Gideon extremely creped out and Pacifica fangirling.
